[Thunderbolt Android Development] dsb9938:
Okay, so what should I do to Cubed, or add to it, to make it better?

D
[Thunderbolt Android Development] YankInDaSouth:
Honestly, if you want to please the masses I'd say GB with sense 3.0 is the way to go.

But in the end it's your "baby", you do what you want with it ... if you build it they will come :)
[Thunderbolt Android Development] BennyJr:
Do one...something lol i missed this rom and i know u would do a great GB rom
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dsb9938:
Thanks! I appreciate that.

I think I'm going to maybe start with an update to the Froyo version while I dig into GB and see how deep the rabbit hole goes.

D
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Scooter Scott:
I would love to tell you what I think you should do...but all my ideas are based on things i've seen in other ROMs so I wouldn't help you be unique. Make it your own man and I would love to try it out.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] fixxxer2008:
i say make a GB version of it. ill give it a whirl.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] CenFlo:
Get back at it, broski!!

I've run this ROM on my lady's phone since day one and not a single problem from it.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dsb9938:
Okay, loading up some Ginger on my Thunderbolt tonight.

We shall see where it takes me.

D
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Nate14:
You've got my attention.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] BennyJr:
Same here. A custom rom from u would be awesome lol
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dsb9938:
I put in a PM to the MOD of this forum to find out what the restrictions are concerning the first ROM I worked on, you remember it right? I am considering doing a custom version of the latest edition of that one, since it's very solid and GB based.

I just don't know what will happen about being here until he gets back to me.

I will keep you guys updated.

D
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dsb9938:
Okay, here is the deal, as I see it.

I cannot do anything with a ROM here if the ROM is not hosted here. I get that. It makes sense. Although I must say, in all honesty, I do not agree with the closing/removing of MOD threads, since the MOD is here. Not my call.

I missed everything that went on here a while back due to illness. I've heard a few things from both sides. I must say, I am very, very torn. This place has kind of been my android home away from home, if you know what I mean. However, the guys I worked with on my first ROM have been very good to me. They taught me so much, and never gave me a hard time for asking stupid questions. Consquently I have loyalties on both sides.

It seems to me, that in order to not make any waves I really can't move forward with what I know in my heart I want to do. I want to make a Cubed version of BAMF Forever. As much as I would love to do it here, I don't think it would be fair to either side for me to cause those kinds of waves. My android "parents" are not happy with XDA, hey, to each their own. We can't all have the same experiences. On the same note, I can't be posting things here that XDA doesn't want posted here. Rules are rules. (I suspect this post may break one or two, but I hope the MODs will forgive me and let me speak my piece. I'm going out of my way to make it as polite and respectful of everybody as possible.) This being said, I will be moving forward with my plans on another forum. I will still come here, this place is a treasure trove of great information and amazing people. I will also continue to help out anybody running my Froyo Cubed ROM who may need it.

Everybody can't be expected to get along with, or agree with everybody else. People aren't built that way. That's cool. I get it. I just hope it doesn't hurt those of us who do this for fun that things went so far south.

So . . . . after all of that ranting, I hope you know where to find my next work. I cannot post you a link here, but it should not be hard to figure out. If you don't know, please PM me and I will tell you.

I am not advocating anybody leaving this site. But I do hope, if you enjoyed this ROM, you will at least pop over and check out the new one when it's done.

I posted Cubed on several sites. Nobody should ever expect us to just be on one site.

Okay, end of rant.

Thanks to all of you for your support and I hope to continue seeing you around.

Dude, make your ROM and put it wherever you want, It's nobody's business but your own. Don't worry about people feeling butthurt. The most important thing you can do as a developer is to get your ROM out there. Cancelling it benefits nobody.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] YankInDaSouth:
You had me at butthurt ... LMAO

Are you struggling to stay awake? Your last post makes no sense to me :D
[Thunderbolt Android Development] chip0:
Is there any way to get the crt animation for this for when u turn on and off the screen? Like in the synergy rom, besides that I think this is the best Rom I've had on my phone, absolutely love it!
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dsb9938:
No, this is Froyo. That didn't hit non-CM till GB.

D
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dsb9938:
Perhaps if you read the few posts above it?

D
[Thunderbolt Android Development] chip0:
:( oh well its still an awesome rom
[Thunderbolt Android Development] chip0:
Can we use these skins on different roms? Also in the downloads list under radio there's some kind of radio settings? What's that for? Lol
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dsb9938:
Skins - I believe so.

Settings - adds CDMA/LTE setting to the menu under Wireless Settings

D
[Thunderbolt Android Development] chip0:
Ohhh ok lol thanx. Also would the skins work on the HTC sensation? My girl friend has that phone n I showed em to her n she really likes em lol
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dsb9938:
I have no idea, but I doubt it.

D
[Thunderbolt Android Development] BennyJr:
Yeah cool just wondering. I wasnt really expecting it to be. I cant seem to install terminal emulator form the market. hmmm
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dsb9938:
Why not? What's it doing?

D
[Thunderbolt Android Development] BennyJr:
It just says installing.....and sits there. All my other apps downloaded and installed good tho. I dont think its your rom
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dsb9938:
I'm flashed into something else right now, but I'll give it a shot later, just to be sure.

D
[Thunderbolt Android Development] BennyJr:
Ok well i found an apk of terminal emulator and its not installing either...

Looks like none of my apps i have as apk's are installing. Just a heads up
[Thunderbolt Android Development] jonathanphx1:
Glad to see this posted it looks really good great work

Sent from my Thunderbolt Dark Horse Edition phone
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dsb9938:
Many thanks to you sir!

D
[Thunderbolt Android Development] jarredp93:
I can also confirm that a lot of my apps arent downloading as well. Just a heads up
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dsb9938:
Can I get a couple names?

D
[Thunderbolt Android Development] BennyJr:
So far i have handcent sms and terminal emulator from the market.

And none of my apk's on the sd card will install either
[Thunderbolt Android Development] marsha12151:
Applications

Love the color, the icons, the boot animation - Love it all BUT

My apps are downloading from the market, automatically as usual. BUT they are stuck on installing. Cannot stop the install. Going to do a battery pull.

Will let you know what I find.

Apps include Solitaire, Quick Boot, SwiftKey, Evernote, BeamReader and many more.

Edit: Reboot went fine . all apps stopped installing. I tried to install one application (Backup Pro) and it appears to be stuck at install also.

Guess I have to go to restore and follow this closely to see when I can get my apps downloaded.

Thanks and I will watch closely as I really like this look.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dsb9938:
I am not sure what's hanging it up, I think it's the market itself trying to update. I cancelled the stuck installs, rebooted normally, and everything was fine.

Installed Handcent, Term Emu, and a few others.

D
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Mystery252:
Haven't loaded the rom yet but all the skins are running on my Bamf 1.7 Remix. And they are awesome!!
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Memnoch73:
Yup got the skins running on my Remix 1.7 too. Thanks for putting them together man...
[Thunderbolt Android Development] danktankk:
I am really digging this ROM. I love the animations. I am at this very moment restoring appz via Ti Pro and there is no problem there thus far. If anything occurs with auto-downloads from the market I will be sure to post. So far so good.

Nice work dsb!
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Spencer_Moore:
I like so far. Great work!

EDIT: had to reboot a couple of times to get it syncing my contacts and gmail, but it looks like it's all here
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dsb9938:
Glad you guys like it. It's kind of my first real solo work, so it means a lot.

D
[Thunderbolt Android Development] BennyJr:
Man i cant get these apps to install for the life of me.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] gregnice37:
Congrats on building your own Rom dude. I see you're from Edison, just a few minutes away, lol, I'm in Amboy.

Just wondering if you're planning to integrate the Bamf Toolkit or just venturing into a different direction than Bamf?

Also, you need to get yourself a donate link. Was trying to donate to you for all your hard work on the BAMF stuff when I was donating to the rest of the team.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] tekhna:
The skins look totally spiffy on BAMF Remix. Gonna play with the ROM next week when I've got time..
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dsb9938:
I went to each download and cancelled it, rebooted, and restarted the downloads.

D
[Thunderbolt Android Development] infamousxsniper:
I can't seem to install TiBU from my sd card... It just hangs at "installing". Help?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dsb9938:
Installing from an apk? Install it from the market.

[Thunderbolt Android Development] 2k10MBC300SPT:
What's the Splash file that is there to D/L? I am on LR 3.3.1 right now. Can I just install rom Via CW and call it a day/Night:)
[Thunderbolt Android Development] blackbass595:
Downloading now...gonna give it a go! i gotta say from the screens that this thing looks amazing. Great attention to detail. Ive been having flash withdrawls for about 2 days now...time to feed the beast...haha
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dsb9938:
The splash is what comes before the boot animation. It's the first pic in the OP. Not required.

D
[Thunderbolt Android Development] infamousxsniper:
I'm also trying to install swype... but like I said it hangs.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] 2k10MBC300SPT:
Ok...Would I flash it after I install rom or before Rom...Thanks for the SPEEDY response..Will load now and Holla back w/thoughts:)
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dsb9938:
Only thing I can suggest is a logcat while you run the install.

But I can tell you, the rom comes with the free Titanium, and I just re-installed the whole thing, and all my apps, so I know it works.

D
[Thunderbolt Android Development] infamousxsniper:
It worked before I signed into my Google account and flashed those skins.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dsb9938:
Force Stop, and Clear Data on Market.

D
[Thunderbolt Android Development] blackbass595:
just flashed and this thing rocks...great job! all my apps installed from Ti BU went smooth. will blackout market from bamf remix extras work here?

[Thunderbolt Android Development] marsha12151:
Read all the posts and finally did the following:

On another Froyo ROM, used TI and backed up everything.

Reflashed Cubed (only, no skins)

Skipped all setup account questions, did nothing!

Went to TI (It is included with the ROM) and restored apps as well as system data

Everything went well and all appears to be working fine.

Will do another nandroid backup then install the skins.

Couple of questions:

1 - I know to put the PG file on the root of the SD Card for the radio. Is it the same process for the splash? The OP says to flash with CW but I get an error. As the file name contained the PG label I was not sure?

2 - The status bar is very nice but I have a question on colors. The circle that I believe represents bars goes from blue to yellow pretty frequently. The tower goes through many color changes also. I am pretty sure I know what it means but I would like a layout of the colors so I gain a little more confidencel

Again, this is a beautiful ROM, very fast. Thanks for putting in the work.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Cubs2008:
d THANK YOU for this! :)
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dsb9938:
1. I had corrected that yesterday, yes, all PG files are flashed in hboot.

2. Signal strength based on 4 bars, 100%=green, 75%=blue, 50%=yellow, 25%=red. Battery is in 20% gradient colors.

D
[Thunderbolt Android Development] 2k10MBC300SPT:
Quick Question, We need to rename the flash file to "PG05IMG" (w/out quotes) right?

Edit: Answered my own question...
[Thunderbolt Android Development] bL33d:
installed skins over bamf and market wont install apps. reinstall of bamf fixed it no skins though:(

Any chance this rom will get a diff battery and signal icon?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dsb9938:
I'm not sure what's up with the skins, seems to be random.

It's highly likely that if enough people like the rom, it will get cusomized.

I'm about to upload 8 new lock screens in an hour or so.

D
[Thunderbolt Android Development] marsha12151:
Hope I am not posting to many comments but I agree that the skins seem to be a problem.

All was working fine.

Flashed the skins and then got no installs from the market.

Reflashed Cubed and all was right with the world. The market worked fine

So, bottom line, no beautiful skins. They are doing something to the market. By the way, I have cleared market cache as well as data and it makes no difference.

D, thanks for the previous answers to my questions in such a timely manner.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] hawgpapa:
I must say this as clean and problem/error free as I have experienced in a long time. I am glad my flashing addiction hasn't been totally cured after coming back from the GB issues.

My TB hasn't worked this flawlessly since it came out of the box. Once Cubed settled in it has been awesome.

Thanks for the work you all put into this.

Guess I'll be changing my signature!
[Thunderbolt Android Development] 2k10MBC300SPT:
Market hangs Drastically and Apps from SD don't install either:( Am a bit confused as to how the others were successful with the apps issue??? I have a Blue circle to the left of the battery logo that is 90 percent blue and Idk what it is..Am assuming it's the sync logo but there's no movement at all..
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dsb9938:
Did you install the skins? That seems to be the common problem.

D
[Thunderbolt Android Development] 2k10MBC300SPT:
Yes I did.. So if I just reinstall rom, That should uninstall the Skins right?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dsb9938:
Yes, you can extract the skins and copy them manually if you want.

I'm building lockscreens right now, but I will look at the file after to see if I can fix it.

D
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dsb9938:
I'll straighten it out some time today.

D
[Thunderbolt Android Development] 2k10MBC300SPT:
Ok, Aside from that, Rom iS great...Would you happen to know if VVM works w/your rom? Major for me that it does..
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dsb9938:
Try this, let me know if it works and I'll put it in the OP.

D
[Thunderbolt Android Development] 2k10MBC300SPT:
Yea, you did remove it (no big deal) I have the apk and I just factory reset the device and SD and market apps install just fine. Guess I'll have to manually do those sexcee Skins until you magically work out a fix for us. Great Rom though..I just deleted all other roms on my SD card cause this rom is just that great plus even bigger, I intend on keeping my TB now cause of this rom. I was going to return it next wednesday..Thanks bruh..

Skins

Anyone having issues with the skins want to try one of my skins to see if you have the same issue?

These were made using the framework from BAMF and work flawlessly on it so they should work on this ROM as well.

Just would like to help determine if it is an issue with the skins.

I really doubt it has anything to do with the install files but this would tell us.

My TB skins for 2.1 (GB) ROMS are here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1091564
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dsb9938:
If you can, try the flash I posted, save me from one more. I'm already having to flash all 8 of these lock screens to get screen shots.

D
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dsb9938:
Eight new lock screens in post 3.

Enjoy!

D
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dsb9938:
Hey Gadget, I don't think it's the skins, I'm using them.

I think it's how I did the flash, which I have to look at. Prolly the script and mounting /data/.

But thanks man, nice to see you around here.

D
[Thunderbolt Android Development] BennyJr:
So i want to give this another try...i shouldnt install the skins till after all my apps are downloaded right?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dsb9938:
Working on the skins now, just wait a little while for that part.

D
[Thunderbolt Android Development] hawgpapa:
Woah...spoke a little too soon. Having the issue with the market. Won't update...Kind of like Market Gone Wild...reflashed to a pre-skin flash and the same thing is happening. Other than that, lovin' the ROM
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dsb9938:
The market itself won't update, or apps won't install?

D
[Thunderbolt Android Development] hawgpapa:
Sorry, the apps won't update or install

To be more specific - the apps won't download. Everything fails...
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dsb9938:
Okay, first, try force stop and data clear on market and see if that helps.

Did the market itself update, or is it still the one that came with the rom?

If the market did not update, you can get the new one here: http://www.multiupload.com/OMFOFII9PW and see if updating it helps.

D
[Thunderbolt Android Development] bL33d:
Just fyi i had market issues with flashing the skins wiped data formatted system and reflashed bamf 1.7 then unzipped skin file and installed each skin one by one and no problems now :D
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dsb9938:
It seems the issue was how I was setting permissions in the install script.

A fixed version is uploading now.

D
[Thunderbolt Android Development] hawgpapa:
First - it is the updated Market.

Second - I cleared data and tried again and still get the "Download was unsuccessful" message.

Have to wait until after work to figure out the next step. Need to set a good example to my employees :-)
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dsb9938:
Well, my next thing is run a 'fix permissions' in rom manager.

I know reflashing should have wiped everything, but stranger things have happened.

D
[Thunderbolt Android Development] hawgpapa:
Forgot to tell you I already did fix permissions to no avail .

Thanks... May just start from scratch tonight.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] ErisKlown:
Dsb, just wanna say congrats on the Rom. This Rom kicks ass. Not sure what the issue is with the skins but i have install the ones I've had for a while from gadget's thread and they installed just fine and I am able to still install from market and my SD card. Don't think i did anything different when flashing Rom. I wiped then installed,did setup for Google account, installed my apps then installed skins one by one, and check market inbetween skin installs.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dsb9938:
Fixed version of the skins file is now up.

Sorry for the error.

D
[Thunderbolt Android Development] BennyJr:
Im gonna give this another go
[Thunderbolt Android Development] virgillio:
Downloaded and Installed the new file...Works like a charm..apps updated & installed from Market

Wooot it works! awesome! Im gonna give it a thorough shake down this weekend. Will report back
[Thunderbolt Android Development] gobluejd:
Wow DL'ing this ROM NOW!

Maybe you can add those Icons to this ROM (that I PM'd u about). I think those would be a nice addition.

Very Nice Work!
[Thunderbolt Android Development] RjsShadows:
Hows the battery life on this rom?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] BennyJr:
I could tell u in a few hours :D
[Thunderbolt Android Development] gobluejd:
Can you use the standard Phone Button/Apps/Personalize (Rosie?) on this? Meaning can I have it stock?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dsb9938:
Glad it's all good now.

D
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dsb9938:
I don't think Rosie Settings supports using personalize, but I will look into it.

D
[Thunderbolt Android Development] gobluejd:
No prob. I just personally like the standard Sense at bottom (not the small icons).

Think i spoke too soon lol after i installed the skins pack now my apps are hanging again. gonna try fix permissions

Anyone have a Verizon apk that will load after installing live wallpaper?

[Thunderbolt Android Development] hawgpapa:
Follow up...

Had an hour long phone conference call, wiped and flashed the ROM while on my office speakerphone and everything is back in working order, market updating like it should and life is good.

And, yes, I was paying attention to the business at hand on the conf. call :D

Usually any apk can be copied to the sdcard, then clicked on in file manager app on the phone. You will get a menu with an install option.

D
[Thunderbolt Android Development] lancem71:
Also....I think skins download is down. Getting a 404 error
[Thunderbolt Android Development] lancem71:
Yeah I do that but it stays on installing but never installs.

Sorry, can't help you with that one. It's hacked, so I dunno.

D
[Thunderbolt Android Development] tekhna:
I'm sure this has been discussed, but I installed the skins on BAMF 1.7 Remix, and now I can't install anything from the market or Amazon market.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dsb9938:
When did you download it?

There was an issue with the skins install script which I fixed not long ago.

D
[Thunderbolt Android Development] tekhna:
Sometime last night. Flash the new version?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dsb9938:
That won't fix it, you're gonna have to restore a backup. Then you can flash the new version.

You can try running fix permissions in rom manager, but I don't know if that does anything on /data/ as I haven't looked at the script.

[Thunderbolt Android Development] Character Zero:
