nils, XDA is dunzo. this place has become pathetic; and WE'RE the 'immature' ones with a 'sense of entitlement?' riiiiight. i'm going to follow you wherever you post your work; i think you should start your own forum up.

it took over a month, but i finally understand why all these big name devs left XDA, and i'm actually 100% on board with the decision.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] KlugN:
I have spoken with a few of the Moderators and they are making very valid reasons for what they are doing. We cannot blame the site or a few rogue devs/moderators for the actions of them all.

If anyone is interested in those aforementioned messages, feel free to pm me. I allowed them to close my thread because it became something that was unintended. There should have been no flaming, nor should these issues have escalated to the point which they did. The threads sole intent was to show support for Nils and to aid in the resubmission of his application.

Nils is a great developer for this site and any site would be lucky to have him. That being said, we need to show our support NOT by acting immature and calling out the other developers and moderators, but by letting him know exactly how much he means to us on this site and how much we value his work and his expertise.

If Nils wants to leave XDA, that is his own right and privelage and I know that many, including myself, will follow. However, that does not give us a right to flame on his behalf. It makes the community look bad and makes Nils look bad when he has absolutely no part in this.

We need to be mature about the sitaution and let Nils handle this the way that the system was designed. He can appeal their decision and resubmit his application. When done so it will be more thoroughly reviewed and he will have a better chance of being accepted. The more that us as users name-call and jeer the people in charge of granting him the RD title, the more we also hurt his chances of receiving it.

After all he has done for us, why don't we do something for him and let him handle this situation the way that he needs to, not the way we think it needs to be handled. Whether we believe this is right or wrong, it is what is best for Nils and the XDA community as a whole.

What makes communities look bad is when the leaders make poor decisions, causing outrage amongst is inhabitants. I can't see any good, logical reason for Nils to not be chosen as a RD, and until the forum leaders themselves openly speak to back up their decisions, I will maintain that stance.

just flashed this ROM a few days ago - my very first ROM after rooting. I like it overall, but I'm having some issues with it - google nav freezing up, friend stream is slow to scroll, random freezing on home screens, etc.

I'm wondering if I didn't 'fully wipe' the phone correctly before installing.

Can you tell me exactly how you 'fully wipe' the phone?

(FYI, in clockwork recovery i cleared dalvik cache, then did wipe data/factory reset, was there anything else i was supposed to do?)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jbh00jh:
Format (Fat 32) the SD card.

[Droid Incredible Android Development] NilsP:
Version 3.0 for standard and 3D updated in post 1

Went to version 3 since I updated the framework to a later version.

Changes

Increased available RAM

Updated YouTube

Updated camera with HDR and Panorama

Fixed text bubble to read better

Remove XDA app since most use premium

More theming as usual

Should flash over 2.3 but as usual if you have problems do a full wipe and try again.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jayochs:
cool! damn, thought you were gonna take a look at the removing recent apps mod :-P
[Droid Incredible Android Development] NilsP:
I am but I wanted to get these out for the RAM and a few other things. Plus with significant framework changes I did not want to mix in other mods and not know what broke.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jayochs:
woot woot! i'll flash later on today. btw, that stock looking battery with % i got from the kitchen looks pretty damn sweet on here...it might even look a little cleaner. here's a shot.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] SlimSnoopOS:
Ha, I half expected something different cuz that's the same battery on the pure 3.0 version

sent from an Inc with a hint of Business Gingersense
[Droid Incredible Android Development] NilsP:
The good news is you can choose any battery you like with the UOT Kitchen.

That is why I stick with my favorite since no one battery is going to make everyone happy.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jmk32:
So I assume formatting the card will erase it, so format the card, then put everything back on it, then flash correct?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jbh00jh:
Put it back on the card after the rom is flashed.

[Droid Incredible Android Development] SlimSnoopOS:
I hear ya Nils, I may start looking into that even though I'm content with the way your rom looks already.

sent from an Inc with a hint of Business Gingersense
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jayochs:
UOT is fun to mess around with..some things work, others don't...wifi/3g icons/alarm clock/silent/vibrate are all ones you have to edit yourself by opening it up; nils has sent me instructions, if you're interested i'll post em here.

but i did successfully change my battery and my google talk icon, from what i can tell so far lol..and the missed call one maybe. also i think i changed some of the popup menu colors...like, sometimes under OK/CANCEL buttons, now it's gray/white instead of black. i forget what stock looked like tho lol..but yeah, kitchen does some cool things
[Droid Incredible Android Development] phoenixs4r:
Nils, thank you for releasing this update.

I have refrained from mentioning this issue because my phone has had strange issues with your Tom that no one else can recreate, but I would like to use this newest version as my daily.

However, my issue is whenever I receive an mms, it is in black and white. I know the picture sent to me is in color, as I did a test. I had my girlfriend send me the image while I was on cm7, and it was in color. I flashed your latest, and she sent again, and its in black and white. This has held steady for every version of this rom I have flashed.

Any suggestions?

Edit: when I send an mms, it works fine, the recipient receives it in color.

Edit2: panorama settings causes fc.

These issues are from a fresh install.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] SlimSnoopOS:
That would be great Jayochs, just send me that in a pm. It sounds like a lot of info so I don't want to clutter up the thread.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] KlugN:
+1 if you wouldn't mind!

3.0 installed over 2.3. Low memory notice immediately on first reboot and subsequent. Had to remove two apps, and back to normal.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] rboddy:
Pano is FC'ing for me, and the following effects aren't working:

HDR (doesn't appear to be doing anything)

Distortion

Vignette

Depth of Field

Dots

All of the "Vintage" options

Sepia (does black and white, not sepia colors)

All of these were inoperable on some other GB roms I've tried, so it must be an Incredible thing. Anyone else have these effects working for them?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] g00gl3:
NilsP - Just wanted to send a thank you for continuing to contribute to the community.

No matter what, we will support you!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] vonrehcxela1:
Please post it
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jayochs:
hey sorry guys, was at work and forgot to check XDA (ironic, since i work in a store that sells verizon phones...!?!? lol)

here's what nils told me via PM:

"The icons you are looking to change are in systemUI.apk and can be replaced using 7zip to extract the res folder. Change the icons and then drag the res folder back into the apk with 7zip opened.For the ring you need to use the m10editor and they are in the default folder."

the icons i mentioned were everything BUT battery icon, basically. the kitchen won't replace wifi/vibrate/silent/3g etc.

and "ring" refers to the lock ring/dock.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] wildstang83:
Hi jay,

If I could help at all, I do have a guide for doing the the locking. It's in the themes section if anyone wants to have a look.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] g00gl3:
wildstang83's guide is excellent!

If you are looking to change the new lockscreen ring, go read that guide.

I was able to change it on the first try.

Here's a quick screenshot:
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jayochs:
yeah stang, i saw that thread, thanks for it! i'm probably not going to do any of those mods...i never really got into opening stuff up and whatnot lol kinda lazy :P
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jdmba:
Kernel?

Nils - First, congrats on "Recognized Developer" It is well deserved.

Second, once the OTA comes out, do you intend to start from scratch based on the (hopefully) working pieces (such as camera), or just integrate? Also, is there a way to extract the Kernel and Radio from the OTA and flash them over your ROM? I have stuck with stock BOTH, and would LOVE to get the official Kernel and Radio up and running, even if we wait while you churn the ROM.

Thanks!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] SlimSnoopOS:
Anyone else notice this problem? I didn't realize my other camera options weren't working either.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jdmba:
Hopefully

Hopefully that will be moot if the OTA makes its way to NilsP for a quick integration.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] OMG_VTEC:
is there a way to get the honeycomb battery?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] cjcarter1254:
Have you tried using the kitchen? Their are many different battery combinations.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] NilsP:
Could have sworn panorama and other options were working. I may not have put the correct libraries in so I will check that out.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] SlimSnoopOS:
Thanks Nils for looking into it. While we're on the topic, I noticed this in your other thread, the 3.0 version. You may have to look into both unless I'm mistaken.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] rboddy:
Thanks Nils, and +1 on the congrats for becoming a RD, glad it all worked out for ya man.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] azgoofball:
Hey Nils, is there a free wireless tether app available? I've used it in Synergy and WarmZ
[Droid Incredible Android Development] cmckee.cna:
People app and Facebook contacts

So, i've been searching thru this thead, and i cant really find any thing to do with this specific problem. So i loaded the rom and used titanium back up to restore all my system data, and for some reason, when i restore the contacts data, it clears it out...of course, google restore my contacts when it syncs, which is fine and works great....BUT when i go to the view setting and try to add the facebook contacts, once it syncs facebook contacts and my phone contacts(loaded from google) it force closes my people app...i cant even get in to it to "not" view the facebook contacts...the only thing i can do is restore from titanium again, which clears it, wait for google to reload, and make sure that facebook doesnt load them again...i've tried Facebook, and Facebook for HTC sense....any one else have this problem? and is there a fix for it? Also my mail (not gmail) app force closes. i havent found any other hiccups, but then again, i havent had much time to really play around with much of it due to trying to get my contacts working......NilsP, you have any ideas?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] rboddy:
Pro-tip for any ROM installation: DO NOT RESTORE SYSTEM DATA!!!!

Give it a fresh wipe/install and only restore the apps, and only restore data for apps you absolutely need the data for. There is no reason to backup and restore contact data or any other system data for that matter.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] NilsP:
Restoring system data will definitely kill the ROM. System data between ROM's is not compatible at all.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] cmckee.cna:
So is there any system data I can transfer? Like accounts and wifi lists or just nothing at all?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] SlimSnoopOS:
NO system data, only user app data
[Droid Incredible Android Development] NilsP:
Nothing at all for system will translate from one ROM to another ROM. You can do your personal apps and slowly add the data to them.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jbh00jh:
Read this.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] cmckee.cna:
So I will need to re- wipe and then flash the rom again? Or just reflash the rom?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] donnyp1:
Personally id rewipe and fresh install to see the full benefits of how good this rom is.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jlokos:
I flashed this over 2.3 after wiping cache and dalvik cache. It works like a charm.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] cmckee.cna:
OK... So earlier I move my dalvik cache to the sdcard with spare parts, will going into recovery and wiping the data and dalvik cache actually clear the dalvik since it's on the sdcard, or should I put it back on the phones memory first? Also, on a side note, moving the dalvik cache fixed my low memory notif...
[Droid Incredible Android Development] NilsP:
Once you wipe again it will not know your dalvik is on the card so no it will not wipe it. You will not need to move it to the card with this ROM.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jermaine151:
Be careful moving dalvik cache to sdcard. I think that bad things can happen if you mount the phone to your pc as storage.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] hgoldner:
Tearing my hair out

I am starting to lose my mind, and restraining myself from hurling the Incredible at the wall is getting harder and harder.

Each time I connect my Incredible with the PC (whether this ROM or 3.0) when I disconnect, dozens of applications have disappeared. I shut the phone off. I restart it. Sometimes I even clear the cache and the dalvik cache, but not always. Nonetheless, when the Incredible boots back up, those same applications are gone.

My card is good; I am wondering what could possibly wreck such havoc on my system. I have done repeated wipes and "built up" the phone slowly, Nils' ROM first, Google account and exchange account, then loaded apps in phases, dutifully doing Nandroids along the way, but this is just driving me completely nuts. Once the handset connects with the PC the first time, all bets are off.

It's enough to make me want to return to stock and deal with the shortcomings of Froyo just to wait for the OTA.

Is it possible that the sd-ext partition is somehow corrupted? If so, can that be "fixed" in Clockworkmod? (I heard somewhere that only Amon Ra will handle that).

Again, it's not a Nils' specific thing --- it happens on both ROM's, but I'm hoping someone hear can point me in the right direction (even if scolding me for not putting it in Incredible Q&A).
[Droid Incredible Android Development] NilsP:
Have tried ejecting the card on the pc before disconnecting the cable?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jermaine151:
I'm taking a wild guess here: You move your apps to sdcard. If so, the fix is: don't do that. :)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] cmckee.cna:
OK.. one more thing I noticed.... Not really a big thing... But when I get 1 text message, it always says I have 2... When I get 2 messages, it says I have 4, but when I click on the message it only shows the one or two messages that are actually there... Like I said... Not a big deal and it will probly be fixed when I reflash
[Droid Incredible Android Development] NilsP:
Yest it will. Do you by any chance use another mms app?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] hgoldner:
Yes. I "eject" on the PC, then on the phone switch to "charge only" then unplug. Funny thing is, just flashed this 3.0 ROM and the apps don't show in the app drawer but they DO show in Appfolders (and Manage Applications).

Really bizarre.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jermaine151:
Do you move your apps to your sdcard?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] hgoldner:
All the time, yes; there's simply no room with the Gingerbread ROM's for everything. (I developed this "bad habit" on Froyo, using an app called Not Enough Space that let me send apps other than to \data\data.)

I thought I had thinned how many apps I had (under 200 including user apps), but I guess I need to lose more weight, as it were.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] renzo.olivares:
nils i sent you a pm :D
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jermaine151:
That may be the issue because Nils said his rom wasn't set up for apps2sd, properly (I could've swore he said that, but now I don't see the post). I think that the OS doesn't know what happened to them, when you mount the card to your PC, so it removes them from the app drawer.

That's my guess.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] NilsP:
Your right. I did say that somewhere. I think GB wants it to be ext4 and that may be the problem. Some people are getting away with using app2sd from the market but I think they still lose icons once in awhile.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] cmckee.cna:
No I do not use any other sms/mms apps... Just stock android
[Droid Incredible Android Development] cmckee.cna:
Apps2sd has worked flawlessly for me so far... Played with some apps from sdcard and they work great.. I don't think I need to say this, but.... Make sure any app that has a widget is NOT on the sdcard
[Droid Incredible Android Development] omniatic:
If you are losing icons for apps put on your sd, partition your card and download Link2sd from the market. I use it and never lose any icons on my home screens.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] hgoldner:
Well, I uninstalled a bunch of apps, and have about 135M free before I move anything off the card. I also note that there are 2 apps in the market, "app2sd" and "appS2sd" (my emphasis). Which, if either, will work better with this ROM?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] rboddy:
You can indeed backup your bluetooth pairings and wifi accounts with Titanium and then restore them in any other ROM. I've done this time and time again without any issues at all. However, those are the only two pieces of system data I ever back up.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jayochs:
nils, i ddin't upgrade yet, but the only problem wtih the rom is the camera. review doesn't ever work on 2.3; it causes a hard reboot every damn time...it goes to go back to the camera from the review, and it reboots all the time. that's my only complaint! :)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] NilsP:
Yeah, it works fine on the full 3.0 ROM so I must not have copied all the libs needed to support the camera.

EDIT: I updated the camera in this ROM on version 3.0 so it may be OK but I don't have it on a phone right now to test. Can someone running 2.1/3.0 v3.0 try the preview in the camera and let me know if it works.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] rboddy:
Review works fine for me. I just tried multiple combinations after taking a picture to get back to the camera, and it didn't freeze once. I believe Synergy used to give me headaches, but nothing yet on this one. Only problem with the camera is the effects not working. Everything else seems to be jiving well.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] caleris:
Works for me as well.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] cmckee.cna:
I just go into settings> applications> manage applications then just go through them all and switch over what ever will

On a side note, has anyone had trouble sending a mms pic message? Mine won't send... Maybe it will be fixed after I reflash

Edit: I just rewiped and reflashed and after reinstalling all my apps and wifi and bluetooth pairings, and a full battery pull, so far so good, I can use my contacts list, send mms, thanks for everyones help
[Droid Incredible Android Development] rboddy:
cmckee, I wouldn't recommend worrying about any bugs you encounter until you do a full wipe and flash since you have all that system data in there corrupting things. But it should work after that, I have no problems at all, even with wifi on.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] hgoldner:
Yeah, after a bit of experimentation, and the deletion of several dozen more apps, I discovered that after the ROM loads, it takes about two to three minutes for the app drawer to fully populate. So sometimes when I go to look for the apps, they haven't appeared yet.

After I connect to PC via USB, I do a full restart to let the ROM remount the SD card, and let the thing sit for five minutes or so. That seems to have calmed it down.

For more than 48 hours now nary an issue. Smooth as I remember it to be.

On a completely different front, I see that TVOut and the accompanying library is in the newest Gingerbread OTA leak. Any reason not to plug that into this ROM and see if it flies?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] SynisterWolf:
So I'm getting board of AOSP Rom's and I want to try this rom. Quick question. Does it have power control Widgets in the notification pull down bar?

Sent from my sexy assistant. (AMOLED HTC Incredible)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] g00gl3:
Yes it does. There is a second tab on the notification pull down with a bunch of control options.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] SynisterWolf:
Can we also remap rosie yet? i would like app drawer in the middle because i dont use phone as a phone to often. lol
[Droid Incredible Android Development] g00gl3:
The right rosie button can only be remapped in the non-3d version.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] SynisterWolf:
thank you. Maybe i will try to port the old remap metamorph to this rom.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] NilsP:
Right button also re-mappable in the full 3.0 ROM.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] SynisterWolf:
how hard would it be to swap left and center with a metaporph file just skyraider had back in the days of 2.2
[Droid Incredible Android Development] hgoldner:
Nils -

Juwe11 updated his memory optomization script located here yesterday.

I know you have his original script in the init.d of this ROM.

Any reason not to update the script? (I want to avoid the nightmares keeping the sdcardspeedfix script in the init.d caused).

Also, did you notice my inquiry a few posts above about taking the TVOut apk and library out of the newest Gingerbread leak? Any reason they wouldn't work in your ROM?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] NilsP:
Not sure yet of the value but you can just copy and replace the old script.

TVout may work but I have not tried it yet. May need the new radio.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] cmckee.cna:
So everything was working great since I reflashed the rom... Except now when I hit personalize in htc sense, I get nothing.. if I hit menu> personalize, it pulls up the personalize screen with nothing in it, when I go to settings then personalize, it just goes back to my home screen... Ill try reflashing again, but before I do anyone have any ideas?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] NilsP:
How long did you wait? Sometimes the first time it takes a few seconds to populate.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] cmckee.cna:
Lol.. and see that's why I love xda, I had to wait like 10~15 sec.. lol

Thanks nilsp
[Droid Incredible Android Development] cmckee.cna:
Oh yea... One more thing.. linking facebook contacts with phone numbers adds a "+1" to the numbers and the dialer just sits there and seems like it just doesn't know what to do with it... I finally had to unlink some friends just to call them... Any one else having this problem?
