Include a tool box of sorts or allow for different collide for either the task bar, keyboard, launcher, blah blah blah. Or create different preset themes for us to edit to our liking.

Just saying, customization is key! Otherwise, rom is real nice! Keep up the good work.
[Droid X Android Development] smyers1012:
definately something im looking into i just need some help in doing it.
[Droid X Android Development] nhugh406:
If I actually knew how to, id offer my input, however, I is not. Haha
[Droid X Android Development] smyers1012:
Yeah haha thanks I appreciate it. Source apps can be tough...I'm gonna talk to Jrummy and someone from Fission or P3droid and find the best way to make a ROM manager

Universal ROM Droid X AND Milestone X?

I'm coming from a T-Mobile HTC HD2 which I ran Pongster's HyperDroid-GBX. It is an amazing ROM which was based on GB and ran very fast and stable.

I recently switched to another company (Open Mobile PR) and got a Milestone X but found that there is no specific development for it. Is it possible that you could make a ROM that could be used on both the Milestone X and Droid X?

Also look into what Pongster did to his ROM (I really believe it is one of the fastest and most stable)?

Thanks in advanced!

P.S.

I believe this will revive the Droid X Forums since the Milestone X was released recently on many small CDMA carriers
[Droid X Android Development] footballer62:
So, just put this on my girl friends Droid X (she went from froyo to this), and she really likes it.

I saw your post about asking for user comments for your future builds:

She really isnt digging the red dock background at all, so custom themes would be great. The ability to color the battery, a different color would rock as well. Also, she misses her smiley faces in messaging (may be gingerbread related and not the rom, but still gonna throw it out there).

She really likes the 3d effects on my thunderbolt's sense 3.0 on the home screen, but I told her it wasnt likely going to happen, but I said I would ask.

Now, from "my" perspective: A killer theme system would rock. Probably best by individual things such as dock color (or maybe even dock background), icon swapping, changing battery color, and changing the lock screen button colors (i like the new lock screen sliders on GingerAle 3.0 btw, very nice!).

Anywho, thanks for showing her phone some love, it seems like a very solid rom! ;)
[Droid X Android Development] smyers1012:
I appreciate the thanks for the ROM.. and currently I need more ideas from people but this is the first REAL idea I have gotten. Once I get more I'll get started!
[Droid X Android Development] itsthaiiii:
i have been using this rom for a lil over 2 weeks now, i really like except:

some reason cant get into recovery mode, i flashed the rom using clockwork mod. i tried every app and manual way to reboot but it just wont.

phone keeps going into airplane mode. it will get out of it by itself but will take some time

half the time i would have no data

and idk if its just the phone but very poor reception, i would lose signal when its in my glovebox or even my pocket.

has anyone had same problems? or know how for me get into recovery mode?

would be very much appreciated. very frustrating, wish i never sold my iphone...
[Droid X Android Development] smyers1012:
Just incase anyone was wondering what I've been up to.. I've taken in your requests for GingerAle 4 and recorded them all... Ive decided to mmake a theme manager, kind of like the one you would find on Cyanogenmod. Which is why I will need themers! I still need some help on coding Java because my skills are not in TOP condition to built an app from source. If anyone can help me or get me help from a Jrummy16, p3droid, kousch, or anyone for that matter, it would be much appreciated. What I've also spent a good amount of time on is porting GingerAle to .596 rooted version, which i will have done in the next week. (Sorry infazzdar your build doesn't boot.) It will have the following added and be called GingerAle 3.5

-New Updated Droid 3 Icons

-New Lockscreen Color

-Changed dock color back to white

-Droid 3 Boot Animation

-More Eri.xml edits

-A little more custimization to the Dialer!

GingerAle 3.5 Beta Public Testing!

Please tell me if this boots, and if so how does it run?

Installation:

1. Root Droid X on 2.2.1 Froyo

2. Get DX Bootstrap

3. Install as zip and wait!

4. Let it boot! (If it does)

I take no responsibility for what happens to your phone! This is for people that know how to SBF and are willing to do so! Please do not try this if you are not experienced with this stuff! Thank you!
[Droid X Android Development] smyers1012:
Can anyone please tell me if this boots?
[Droid X Android Development] jerry42570:
I'd love to give this a shot after work, but might not get to it until tomorrow. I'm sure it's in your instructions somewhere, but if I'm on another GB ROM (right now I'm running Liberty v.08) do I need to SBF back to stock?
[Droid X Android Development] smyers1012:
Yes you will unfortunately need to go back to 2.2.1 but I believe it will boot and you will be one of the first people on GingerAle 3.5!
[Droid X Android Development] Popsiclestand:
Just tried it and it errors out on install. Will try wiping the cache and trying again. I was upgrading from your first GingerAle btw.
[Droid X Android Development] smyers1012:
You can't upgrade..That might be the problem.. Whole new system build guys!
[Droid X Android Development] smyers1012:
MILESTONE! and Status!

GingerAle 3.0 has been a phenomenal success. Way beyond what I thought it would do. Thought I would post it at my forum home first! The other day GingerAle 3.0 hit 1,000 downloads! It's still going up rapdily. I've also been listed on news feeds across android websites starrring this ROM and me being such a young and creative developer/themer. I am happy to create ROMs for people and it means a lot to me that I've been noticed by the Android Community...

Btw heads up about GingerAle 3.5 testing. I know why it's not booting. All you simply have to do is mount system before you install it...Wipe Data/Cache still though and your all set. It should boot then. Haven't tried it yet but I believe that should fix the problems everyone is having!

GingerAle 4.0 will include... A Rom Manager for all GingerAle ROM's...The new market...Droid 3 Theming (in 3.5 as well)...DSP Manager...and possibly a theme chooser if I can get some themers!

(This is for everyone that was wondering what will be in it. This is not all by far! 4.0 will be huge with so many new features other than what I just listed. Those are just a few examples!)

Just keeping everyone updated on the status and of my milestone. Keep downloading this ROM!

Thanks,

Sean Myers
[Droid X Android Development] JagoX:
Soooo...is this still based on the original GB leak? If not then you might want to remove that from the first post...using a .573 based ROM seems kind of odd in this post-CM4DX world ;)
[Droid X Android Development] djfrost40:
Hey guys, I just got the droidX and need to root it so that I can run this rom. Can anyone point me in the direction for rooting my phone? it's running gingerbread right now. I tried that gingerbreak apk and after installing the apk and clicking it on my phone it just ran the exploit for hours and didn't root it. Any other way?
[Droid X Android Development] smyers1012:
not at all keep its going to be .596 I already released a public beta for people that wanted to test it out for 3.5... You have to come from .340

http://www.mediafire.com/?l480l2ea35iffm5

Instructions:

1. Root DX on .340

2. Get Droid X or Droid 2 Bootstrapper

3. Wipe Data/Cache

4. Mount System

5. Install as Zip

6. Install GingerAle 3.5

7. Report back here if it boots and if it does start testing for bugs!
[Droid X Android Development] smyers1012:
Ik MIUI is out and your all excited but i jsut need one person to post and try this out and tell me if it boots please!
[Droid X Android Development] enveous:
I've made the mistake of flashing a VZ rom for my company Milestone X on Open Mobile Puerto Rico and now I can't get to activate my phone.

A curious thing happened though. When I installed the stock update rom 2.3.340 for Verizon the first time and I tried to activate if was of course for Verizon Wireless, so I did reinstall and tweaked a bit, but after a while I started getting activation for Claro PR.
[Droid X Android Development] smyers1012:
That is very interesting but I still need to know if Simone with a droid x can get this to boot I mean 40 people have downloaded it and not one person can tell me what happened..jeeze
[Droid X Android Development] smyers1012:
I found out why GingerSle 3.5 goes to boot logo..the fix is in progress and 4.0 is on the way..who wants a blurless option for 4.0???!!!
[Droid X Android Development] pats4life100:
Im running 2.2.1 can I just flash this rom
[Droid X Android Development] DjCalvin:
Raises hand for blurless option.
[Droid X Android Development] smyers1012:
Workin on it right now should be done in a couple of weeks I'm writing a lot of apps from source thats why it's taking so long btw
[Droid X Android Development] smyers1012:
Need GingerAle 4.0 BETA testers
[Droid X Android Development] Jrkoffjonson:
I'm game. What would the process be for me to install from OMFGB 1.3.1?

Please PM me, been lurking this thread and I'm pretty excited for what's in store.

Edit: Any chance on a blur-less and blur versions of the rom?
[Droid X Android Development] smyers1012:
I;m still not releasing the beta the Deodexing stilld eson't seem to be working. I'm gonna leave it odexed should be done in a couple of days. And blurless is a possiblity just not sure of how im gonna do it yet!
[Droid X Android Development] cdcarney:
Would it be possible to incorporate an OC app with option to set at boot for this ROM...I miss my OC on Rubix and would love to help you out with testing it if need be. Thanks a million for this ROM it is superb!!!
[Droid X Android Development] chip0:
Im on stock 2.2 rooted. N everytime I install it it gets stuck at the m logo n I have to sbf. Why is this?
[Droid X Android Development] Pitnefor:
weeeeeeeeee
[Droid X Android Development] Theteflondon:
I would like to beta test 4.0 what would you like me to do?
[Droid X Android Development] smyers1012:
As of right now I'm holding off on GingerAle. I'm doing a couple of things acctually.

1. Enjoying the rest of my summer

2. Looking into other projects (Don't worry I haven't forgot about you guys)

3. Still trying to compile the two parts Rooted .602 ROM for the Droid X so I can incorporate it right into GingerAle with all the great stuff still coming in GingerAle 4.0. I know 3.0 has been out for a while now and I've been promising it for a while now, however I'm doing the best I can at the pace that I'm going at. As soon as I get headed on the right track I will be sure to let all of my fans/followers know!

Thanks,

Sean Myers
[Droid X Android Development] smyers1012:
does anybody acctually still want to see this happen?
[Droid X Android Development] arcticbill:
Absolutely! There is a whole new wave of X's out here because of the smaller local carriers picking up the device... I for one, in Alaska, on ACS's network with the "Milestone-X" (MB-809) don't know if we will EVER see a gingerbread update - let alone ICS. So, coming here and seeing development continuing is a relief! -- My concerns are that we (I) don't have a carrier specific SBF to roll back if things go haywire... Makes things somewhat tricky when it comes to the radio settings.
[Droid X Android Development] smyers1012:
ill need some help but i can still get this done...i havent been able to code as much due to many things
[General Questions and Answers] Ferrari353:
Okay so cm7 has an option for using only 2g data... so I was wondering if using 2g data uses less data than regular data

--
[General Questions and Answers] sageDieu:
You would be using the same amount of data download and upload as with 3g, it would just be slower.

Sent from my CM7 SCH-i500
[General Questions and Answers] hookguy:
i've personally found pictures downloaded via G or 2G to be of much lower quality than when using 3G (even for the same picture) so I'd say it does use less data.
[General Questions and Answers] lillejord:
I would say that, in some cases it would, but for the most part it just takes longer. The data savings is negligible. The real savings would be that you're less likely to do things that use data because it takes longer...

The real reason for have the option to switch between 2G/3G is to conserve battery in low 3G areas. Also, in areas of sparse coverage (or over-burdened with too many users) you wont be able to connect to the internet via 3G, yet your phone will continue to try instead of auto switching to 2G. Manually switching to 2G will allow you to connect. I had this problem at a convention last year (PAX).
[General Questions and Answers] khakhi:
im trying to find ways to make my phone use as little data bundles as possible...its using so much now even at sleep mode some app/s is chowing my data. im on 2.1 so 3G Watchdog app cannot tell me which app specifically is doing so, i switched to 2G, will that lessen my data usage? what other ways can i do it ? cant wait for 2.3 then i can know which app is chowing so mu ch data in sleep mode
[General Questions and Answers] patboyslim:
Theoretically, data consumption will be the same, except it will take longer time to do a task (loading email or downloading picture) on 2G.
[General Questions and Answers] Zumpel42:
2G uses less Data if your Provider or Browser Proxy (Opera does something like this) uses a higher Compression Rate for Images...
[General Questions and Answers] khakhi:
i cant wait for 2.3 to come out because then i will know what app is eating up my data even though im not using the phone...by the time i wake up in the morning my phone has already eaten btw 5-9 MB. on 2.1 there isnt an app to detect which specific app is eating the data.
[General Questions and Answers] Zumpel42:
Does 2.3 count this ? Sounds like a nice feature.. doeas somebody know a mod which ported thes feature already ?
[General Questions and Answers] Hoista:
By 2G i assume you mean GPRS or EDGE?

In which case, data transfer rates are lower but transfer amounts are the same.
[Android Themes] HairyMerkin:
I'm looking for icons I once found on here, but unfortunately lost the zip. I'm fairly certain the font in the icons is comfortaa, and the icons are just lower case letters. No actual pictures. I think it was called minimal or something?

I looked through the 500 icon set thread but I couldn't find them :(

Does anyone know what I'm talking about?
[Android Themes] LordManhattan:
MNML icons? Check DeviantArt.
[Android Themes] HairyMerkin:
Nah, that's not it. The icons are just text.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] deathpulse:
Got my new Infuse 4g today - LOVE this phone. I am coming from the Dell Streak and did not think anything would top it for a while. Well... in my humble opinion - Samsung just did!

QUESTION - does the Infuse need a screen protector? I hear it is "gorilla glass" but not sure what that means. I have some protectors but they really "dull out" the awesome display. I'd rather go without one but I do not want to hurt or scratch up my new baby. Thoughts?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Dani897:
garilla glass is made by corning and is likely the stuff apple uses as well, but samsungs doesnt break as often as apple, apple has a design flaw.

garilla glass is both crack resistant and scratch resistant beyond any other material used on phone displays. samsung had a video of intentionally scratching a sgs i9000, only a razor blade scratched it but it was minor.

[Samsung Infuse 4G] FIREONHIGH:
I got mine at walmart.9.99 for 3 of them.fits perfect and they are crystal clear!!!!
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Optimus-Prime:
Correction. gorilla glass CAN crack and Can scratch. i suggest a screen protector to avoid hair line scratches.

it is stronger than regular glass. but it can break and it can scratch. head over to the atrix forum and search for the threat about the broken screen. it breaks just. not as easliy. when i returned my atrix it had hair line scratches.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] ruhlman99:
if you need one

The best protector out there is Skinomi. I bought the fiberglass one and it is like a case except extremely thin, durable, and very protective.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Optimus-Prime:
+1

Plus lifetime warranty!
[Samsung Infuse 4G] kornklown69:
Lol there is a thread already about this and its in the accessories section
[Samsung Infuse 4G] jhwilliams:
I love the screen protector on this. Anti-glare and finger print free. I need to pump up the brightness to 100% to get decent readability when I'm outside, but well to be honest, I'm (we're) not outside that much.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] argylesocks:
I've tried most of them... and I agree - Skinomi is my favorite.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Trancerush:
I have also switched from dell streak 5, and i tought Id never give up streak until i have put my hands on infuse.

Now, when it comes to screen protector, I'd highly recommend invisible shield.

I have used it on iphone, dell streak and now infuse.

If properly installed you wont notice its there.

It give your screen rubberrized like protection.

If screen is hit with something hard it really protects it.

Gorilla glass is great, but its still a glass.

I dropped my streak once on wooden floor and corner of the screen cracked even though it was gorilla glass.

Once again, id recomnend ibvisible shield or ghost armor
[Samsung Infuse 4G] minimalist83:
Have you meant zagg screen protector for infuse
[Samsung Infuse 4G] DangKid:
Yes zagg id the invisible shield. I run with the invisible shield as well and it is the best imo. I don't mind the orange peel and i like the added friction on the screen.
[Atrix 4G General] amandagal:
I just got my new Atrix and I like it so far, but the one thing I can't seem to fix is that all my playlists disappear when I mount the drive and use it in USB storage mode.

I tried one of those multi-mount apps, but it doesn't seem to work. Does anyone have another workaround? I'm rooted.

I used my iPhone as my primary media player (in my car, at work, etc). I would like to use the Atrix that way too. I guess I could just never use it in USB storage mode, but there goes one of the benefits of the phone.
[Atrix 4G General] rickwood:
Just ran into the same issue this week. Not sure of a fix. I just had to resync the playlists using media monkey. Then it took Player Pro a good while to re-add my playlists and rebuild the library. Kind of a pain.
[Atrix 4G General] amandagal:
Yeah, I've just been using double twist to make playlists, because making them on the phone just have them be deleted is no fun.

I guess it's not horrible. Just a pain, like you said. My iPhone couldn't natively mount as a drive so, and the hacks to do it sucked. The original iPod could be used an external drive and keep your playlists, and you could sideload music. That was awesome.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _RTFM_:
I'm running community mod 1.3/rooted/etc etc. Music beta won't sync and it doesn't show my phone on the authorized devices list. However, when I go to install music beta via. desktop browser it can see my phone and knows whether or not I have the program installed. Any clue?

(works fine on the tablet running 3.1 and rooted as well)
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Philomorph:
I rooted my NC from 1.1.0 using autonooter awhile ago and it works pretty well in general. I used to be able to hook it up to my home PC (w7) and my work PC (XP) with no problems. ADB worked (usually), the drives showed up, etc.

Everything still works on the work PC, and another W7 PC I tried it on.

Now, for some reason, neither the NC nor its SD card show up on my home PC when I plug it in! The NC shows the normal "USB Mode" screen when I plug it in, and my PC makes the USB Ding sound. But no new drives show up.

The only thing I can think of that changed is around the time it stopped working, I replaced my old USB Card reader with a new one (old one didn't work with SDHC). I also renamed some drive letters to reorganize them, since the card reader always shows 4 drive letters in windows.

I don't see the USB controller entry for the NC that I used to see in Device Manager either.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RASTAVIPER:
Check for NookcolorUMS app
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Taosaur:
I was having some bizarre connection issues with my PC, too, and they seem to have been corrected (at least they haven't recurred) by using a USB extension cable. It makes no sense, and I didn't do it to attempt a fix, but just noticed that the issues seemed worst when plugging into the top-side 'convenience' USB ports, and had an extra extension cable sitting around, so I plugged that into a rear port to make access less awkward. Since then, the PC consistently mounts everything just like it should.

I'm still using the NC's data cable, just plugging it into a maybe 1' extension cable rather than directly in the slot.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rogue Leader:
my XP based computer won't see the rooted NC either, however I will have to try using a port on the motherboard as opposed to one of the front mounts and see if that does the trick. I just kinda gave up on it as I didn't really need it too bad (I only use my nook for email, web browsing, and to control my DVR).
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Philomorph:
Well I unrooted my NC as I had planned anyway to upgrade to 1.2, but the problem hasn't gone away.

I tried plugging into an extension cable I have that goes directly to a MoBo rear port, but no change.

I can't run the nookcolorUMS now that I'm unrooted. Maybe I'll try it when I re-root eventually.

The thing is, it works on every other computer, so I can't figure out why it would stop working on just this one. It seems like it must be a windows issue, but I'll be damned if I can figure out what it is.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] framitz:
I don't bother with usb

USB connectivity is so unreliable that I don't even bother with it.

To move files around I use File Expert/network to access the PC via wireless from the device.

It's easy, reliable, and FAST.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Philomorph:
That's a good tip. Unfortunately you have to use USB for certain functions, like manual nooting, or synching with Calibre (I suspect).

Once I'm rooted again I'll probably start using wireless for small stuff, but if I'm moving a gigabyte movie over, I'm not sure how long that will take, or how much battery it will use.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rogue Leader:
Does anything come up in device manager when you connect it? If so, did you try deleting anything that does come up, disconnect and start over? Worth a shot....
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Taosaur:
You don't have to guess--if you see a USB device that might be the NC, open properties>details and from the dropdown choose "hardware ids." If the number 2080 is in the id, it's the NC.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Philomorph:
Nothing new comes up in device manager when I plug it in. It used to...
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deboyz1014:
I experienced a similar issue and this was what causing it.

1. I have 2 front USB connections (nothing connected to either)

2. External Power USB hub connected to a rear USB slot

On Win 7, whenever I plug-in the NC via USB, I got a device not recognize error. I tried plugging it into different ports and pretty much either got no detection or device not recognize. Here is the kicker, as soon as I plug it into the usb hub, window recognize and mount it right away. This also happen to be true if I remove the usb hub altogether.
