Exactly.

Its a useful tool when I'm developing software with a coder friend and I need to show him how an animation or something is supposed to look really quick as opposed to rendering out an entire video file and sending it to him somehow.

I suppose I could try using Skype!

Question

I am on Magnolia, but it appears that ROM is dead, so I am on the hunt for a new one. To this end, I have just read through all the pages starting with 6/12 when Nils posted v2.0. From what I can tell, so long as you don't restore apps/data, and do complete wipes, the is only 1 major issue going on ... available memory.

From the analysis a few pages ago, it seem that if the lock screen wasn't eating up so much memory, the ROM would push above 100MB easily. Is there a lock screen which can be flashed which doesn't do a lot of crazy stuff (I use my lock screen ONLY to unlock the phone) to solve the problem?

Thanks!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jbh00jh:
I agree about the lockscreen. Some of the guys seem to forget from time to time this phone doesn't have the ram and memory gingerbread was designed for and can't have everything you want on it.

Sent from my Droid Incredible
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jayochs:
it's not gingerbread, it's sense 3.0.

sense 3.0 features require a lot of memory; i.e., the lockscreen.

gingerbread has nothing to do with sense 3.0, except that gingerbread is on the new phones that have sense 3.0
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jbh00jh:
In other words you have plenty of extra ram left and memory is never an issue with this rom.

i'm running 2.0, with rotating rosie. As long as I am active in my memory management (IE: kill off apps that refuse to close on their own... I'm looking at you amazon app store) I stay between 100 - 120 mb free. To me the lock screen is the biggest selling point for sense 3. I settled on this ROM because it is hands down the most stable and responsive ROM to include the sense 3 lock screen. If the lock screen is not important to you, then there are plenty of other active roms that do an amazing job at handling memory and battery life. My wife swears by Synergy, and I've heard nothing but good things about CM7 and MIUI.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jayochs:
this rom is a 2.0/3.0 hybrid..the lockscreen, being from 3.0, is gonna use as much memory as it does on 3.0..around 50 megs alone.

3.0 things use more memory than 2.0. so, this rom uses a lot of memory just idling. i'm usually down to like 73mb idling. on Z roms, for example, the lowest i'd get would be around 120...i usuallyed idled around 150ish
[Droid Incredible Android Development] bikedogrun:
Not sure how you stay above 100 MB so easily, I'm usually between 70-80 MB... But I do agree - Sense 3.0 lockscreen is very nice & I enjoy having it.

I've only been running Nils Gingersense rom for a week now (after 6 months on CM7) but it really is VERY stable and even feels faster than CM7 (which is a pleasant surprise).

I've not had any low memory issues whatsoever and I do often run a full & complex set of apps concurrently. All in all, this is a winner!

/BD :cool:
[Droid Incredible Android Development] kdo23:
I agree this is a winner and especially once we can get the Rosie remap with the carousel launcher. I am currently living without remap in trade for the carousel but must say it is very stable and smooth even with memory getting as low as 65mb which was not true in other roms.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] hgoldner:
You have a setting in Personalize which permits you to use the original lockscreen.

As long as you do the proper pre-flash things (factory reset, wipe cache, wipe Dalvik, same stuff we did before flashing Magnolia) do a clean install and restore apps only, you ought to be okay.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Tommymac1039:
I love this rom one question though on video playback its all choppy and suggestions or solutions?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jdmba:
MyBackupPro?

I REALLY would love to have apps and data restored. Putting aside the games and lost progress, it is easier to restore than to go thru multiple markets for reinstallation, particularly since one of my games doesn't seem to be available anymore. Since people say titanium restoring apps+data and even apps can cause problems, I was wondering ...

... is the same true for MyBackupPro (which I also own). Is that app more careful, so that I might be able to restore apps+data if I transition to this ROM?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] caleris:
I use MyBackupPro and never have a problem with the apps and data it restores. Only complaint is that it is slow.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] hgoldner:
+1 for sure. Painfully slow.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jdmba:
Problem ... help?

OK - I am now officially on this ROM. Stock to Virtuous to Magnolia to Nils. First, all I can say is WOW ... and COOL!

I have restored "apps+data" but not "system data" using MyBackupPro. WOW that was slow. It does 3 passes per file for gosh sake.

I am, however, having a problem with synchronizing data. The phone says "connected" and the computer says "connected" but when I go to sync, I get an error on the computer that "synchronization could not be started."

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Change log so far:

Version 2.1

Overscroll now blue (framework-res)

Notification close bar from Z ROM

Black and Transparent Market

Black Lock Ring - Thanks to Lemaj5

Themed Rosie launch bar (Still round just blacker)

Updated Maps

Updated ROM Manager

Removed Android Keyboard (saved 7Meg in ZIP and available in market)

Any objections?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] spikezilla9:
Are you going to change the color of the icons on the rosie. I think it would look good if the little but of green on the was blue. Every other change sounds great!

Sync

No one has had problems with HTC Sync of contacts from outlook on this ROM?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] NilsP:
That's the only contacts I sync and have no problem.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] NilsP:
I have thought about that but that left application icon is all over the place in just about every apk. It would look weird to make it blue on Rosie and still be green every where else.

Datee/Time issues with emails and texts

As long as I can get the same stock HTC keyboard on the market I'm all for it, best keyboard for they way I type IMO.

I do have an odd issue however with the date/time on my phone. My phone displays the time and date correctly, however when it comes to text messaging and emails the time is always 3 hours ahead when I get them but it's correct when I send them....here's an example of what a text message time stamp may be and how it looks on my phone...

Me - Hey dude 10:00AM

Me - not much what are you doing 10:02AM

Me - gonna play some rift, wanna join? 10:04AM

My buddy - Hey man, whats up 1:01PM

My buddy - just chilling, you? 1:03PM

My buddy - sure 1:05PM

Where as it actually went out like this....

Me - Hey dude 10:00AM

My buddy - Hey man, whats up 10:01AM

Me - not much what are you doing 10:02AM

My buddy - just chilling, you? 10:03AM

Me - gonna play some rift, wanna join? 10:04AM

My buddy - sure 10:05AM

Not sure if this makes sense, does it?

So that is the issue I'm having, I've tried messing with every clock setting under the sun and it won't work. I downloaded a clock widget from the marker place that looks just like the clock on the lockscreen since I love the lockscreens clock (this would be a good widget to add to the OS for the homescreen) and I doubt that is what's messing it up but just an FYI.

Thanks in advance!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] NilsP:
I don't think this is ROM specific since I have heard of it on various ROM's. There is an app in the market that fixes this. It is called something like Time Fix or something like that
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Logiic:
Yeah it's called SMS Time Fix. It's definitely not ROM specific. My fiancée is running RCMix on her Inspire and has the same issue. I'm not sure what causes it, but that app seems to fix it.

I believe you can also manually change your phone time to fix the issue.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Logiic:
PS Nils can't wait for 2.1!

Edit: You haven't happened to have any luck with the 3.0 mail widget working on your ROM yet have you?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] AlmostTactful:
Hey man, I found the app and installed it but it didn't fix the issue. Not totally sure whats causing it at this point, this is the first ROM where I've seen it. It's more of a small annoyance and this rom is still beast man, good work.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] SlimSnoopOS:
I'm all for that as well. Nils, this is a nice list of updated changes.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] NilsP:

Love the dark lock ring but I don't think I'd use the rosie with blue buttons.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] axv91:
Looks absolutely amazing! I was too lazy to do it earlier, but now im officially switching to this rom :D

Just wondering though, how is the battery life on this on a daily use?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jayochs:
cool stuff nils. ever get any insight as to the notification drop down lag? or when you turn use the landscape mod, why the homescreens all blank out sometimes for like ten seconds and they have to repopulate themselves?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jayochs:
or hmm what about the semi transparency behind notifications? like when you get a text..the all white contrasts with the transparent background. how about a semi transparent part of that, but not too transparent that you can't see it, ya know? :-)

and perhaps getting rid of recent apps? or a flashable file to do it so some of us can get rid while others keep it? that'd rock :-D
[Droid Incredible Android Development] SlimSnoopOS:
Hey Nils,

Curiosity got the best of me today. For live wallpapers, I was just goofing around and seeing what we have in the rom. I clicked the weather one and noticed it was moderately glitchy as reported awhile back. Would that be an issue due to the difference in drivers for our phone and the phone this rom/rom base was originally designed for?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] rfarrah:
One thing you do that I REALLY like is that whatever wallpaper I'm running on my phone shows through as background to many of the screens you set up. Way cool. Thanks!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] NilsP:
I am having mixed emotions with the blue rosie icons so not sure it they will go or not.

I don't get the lag on the portrait only Rosie but it sounds like you are using the rotating rosie which does lag in just about everything.

Have you tried doing it in UOT? If you do, remember to turn on transparency in the kitchen

Have not gotten around to trying to remove recent apps yet since I don't want to break the stability. Some day

Could be so I will tinker with it

Gotta love that transparency
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jayochs:
thanks for the reply nils. nah, i'm not using rotating rosie.

like a few others, i get notification drop down lag of about 5 seconds, 7 at the max. not always, though. i've noticed it on other gingersense roms, i was just curious if any devs had it figured out yet. i don't use landscape rotating rosie because of that bug i listed
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Logiic:
No hurry at all. Just wondering. Believe me I'm very happy with the way the ROM is now. My fiancée is too. This is the first time in probably a year I've been on only one ROM for at least a week straight. Haha.

Once the black dialer is fixed and maybe we get 3.0 email, this baby will be beyond perfection.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jayochs:
hey nils, just doing a UOT now;

turns out it was a fail haha

only thing that worked was changing the overscroll to blue, and a few notification icons.

making the windows transparent in the dropdown didn't work at all. i had it setup so it wouldn't show white for notifications, that it would be transparent. didn't work. it's still white.

am i doing something wrong?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] omniatic:
I had some problems with UOT, too. Some icons don't show up, and transition mods wipe out the circle battery and revert it to stock. Think I'll stay out of UOT for now.

Nils' Business GingerSense... It's INCREDIBLE
[Droid Incredible Android Development] NilsP:
Nope. Didn't work for me either. I will see what I can do
[Droid Incredible Android Development] NilsP:
If you use the files in the kitchen it will revert everything back to the the ROM. If you want to use you previous mods upload your files.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jayochs:
ah ok cool nils, good to know it wasn't just me. i just nandroided back; i'll wait until 2.1 comes out to flash anything new haha :D

Will work on the Rosie mods which are difficult but I am still trying
[Droid Incredible Android Development] iowabowtech:
Kinda thinking this may have been mentioned but can't search worth a crap right now due to being mobile...

Many times when my homescreen first comes up, the clock is reading 1 hour early. It quickly adjusts and updates to the proper time but its quite noticeable. Known issue?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] NilsP:
That is by design. It was the developers approach to showing off the flip animation. It is actually 1 hour and 2 minutes behind so it flips every digit
[Droid Incredible Android Development] SlimSnoopOS:
Testing the updated black dialer now. I'll report back bugs with it over the next day or so but it seems fine on a brief test call with the screen off, answering a call on the lock screen, and taking a call while on a home screen.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] NilsP:
Great. Thanks and keep me posted
[Droid Incredible Android Development] 318sugarhill:
Yeah, I think every rom I've ever used has done this. WHen you unlock the screen, you get to see the clock flip to the new time. I've never noticed an hour and two minutes before, I just always thought it was the time on the clock when the screen turned off last.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] nujackk:
Have to say loving this rom , smooth and beautiful. But as has been mention not the usual battery life i'd expect.

tried searching the thread but can't seem to find an answer.

Is there a kernel avail that will help with battery life ? ( i know we're still waiting for source to do custom kernels ) But from the current avail kernels ?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] SlimSnoopOS:
There is no other Sense gb kernel for our phone available but I recall someone, just for kicks, flashing different Sense kernels for these roms. Features did break but they were doing that just to see what happened. Try some kernels if you want just don't post bug reports obviously.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] nujackk:
Ok, that's what I thought, guess I'll have to do some more playing with settings until I can find the right balance

I believe you mean "trace," I think and I'm not sure but it's only in the 3.0 gingersense roms.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] SlimSnoopOS:
I hear ya, unless you don't use your phone often we all have run into an issue with battery life.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Tommymac1039:
Yeah I can't even get swype to work
[Droid Incredible Android Development] punman:
Mine's pretty good, ~1d on battery, down to 52%. (Seidio 1750) I am pretty happy as long as I don't open Words With Friends for more than a minute at a time.

That's with pretty light usage though, since it's the weekend and I'm not using the phone for much other than an occasional phone call or SMS.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] rfarrah:
I didn't have any trouble with Swype - worked like normal. I was using an earlier version of both the ROM and Swype, though. Haven't tried it with new versions yet.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] donnyp1:
Uh, no, just when can i download?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] SlimSnoopOS:
Mine worked with no problem. If you have any issues, delete your Swype app (not the installer) and reinstall it that way. Otherwise delete both Swype and the Swype installer, then re-send your Swype beta email and activate it from scratch. Mind you, you will have Swype 3.0 with this method unless restoring from a backup.

I good fairly good battery life too, but I'm not complaining given all our phones can do at a moments notice.

I for one can say the latest beta, Swype 3.0, works fine on 2.0. Despite my grievances with two aspects of the new Swype 3.0; it works fine.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] punman:
Also working fine with latest Swype 3.0 beta. Hate, hate, hate the word choice bar. Bring back the pop up thingy.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] hgoldner:
Thinking of completely reflashing 2.0 to chase some goblins from last install away, but not if 2.1 is nigh.

Also, if I follow Nils' recommendation and flash via ROM Manager, will it perform the requisite wipes pre-flash?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Tommymac1039:
Sorry guys I'm a nimrod I didn't read directions right on the new swype beta I'm really sorry, thanks for all the input!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] NilsP:

If you are on 3.0.0.7 with and Amoled screen RM will wipe perfectly every time. If on 3.0.0.8 with and SLCD then it may not be as predictable.

[Droid Incredible Android Development] NilsP:
Hmmm. Good question. I am not aware of any settings for syncing differently when on or off chargers. I know there is one that is based on time of day. For example I have mine syncing every 15 minutes from 11PM to 6AM (when I sleep and charge) and manual otherwise.

Maybe someone else noticed a setting but I have not
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jayochs:
i think it might be facebook contacts syncing, nils...i know you don't use that though. i have it set for once a day, but when on the charger in the early morning, it syncs MANY times...but off the charger seems to sync just once a.day..hmm

Downloading the update now. I'm still hoping for an update that fixes music players finding music on EMMC, my wife's phone only has a 2GB card on it right now and that's not enough for much music. I know, I need to get her a bigger card, but in the meantime, EMMC was great for music storage.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jayochs:
the new rosie is cool...just seems a little too dark, idk. it's different! haha..gotta flash my v1 black clock and transitions now :D
[Droid Incredible Android Development] NilsP:
I recompiled it so many times and it never worked. Even removed and reinstalled my apktools and that didn't help. I then came to realize it may be due to compression level of the apk. Thought of this since that is a known problem with the htc resources framework file so I decompressed it. I have received calls from contacts, unknown, 800 numbers and have not had a fail since.

Yes. Just been a little gun shy after the problems I had with the phone apk.

PowerAMP from the market (free one) is able to play music from EMMC while we try to fix it for the stock player.

Oh yeah, it's different alright but I kinda like it so far. We shall see
