I was wondering does anyone has these issues:

1. Every rom that I overclock (it doesn't matter how much it runs smoothly on every higher frequence) camera preview flickers in mixed grey and color. The only time that is steady and normal when the phone is on default freq (it doesn't matter which one is default - e.g. in newker found on ewra blog the default one is 787 and all is normal).

2. What the hell is wrong with my touchscreen when the phone is charging? It is unresponsive, and the screens are dancing around when I touch anything. It doesn't recognize correctly if it is a single press or a long press and as soon as I unplug it from a charger, everything is back to normal.

This is happening on every 2.3 custom rom available for OT990.

Every insight is welcome.

;) You're welcome :) (nema na cemu)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aleksandar_021:
Well, thats menu background...e.g. when I press menu soft key...I need background for settings, contacts...etc :)

I know they are somewhere in framework or systemui...

I can change menu background with editing .pngs in drawable-hdpi, but my font color is black so that looks stupid...so I need to edit lines somewhere in framework probably to invert font color and background color...

Theme

Hello everyone, I created an ICS theme for this Rom (v5H6-0). Flash it via recovery (I used 5.0.2.8). It is recommended to flash after a fresh install (first flash rom, boot your phone and then flash the theme).

Credits: balamu96m - thread ; toxic77 - thread

Here it is: LINK

And here are some screenshots. Hope you will like it.

Edit: Don't forget to make a backup before applying! Just in case..

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] didije:
Thanks. I like the settings look. You can rearrange it however you like it and add or remove stuff from it. But it takes too much time (which I don't have) so I did just basic stuff. I don't like the default wallpaper, I forgot to change it but this can be easily changed within framework-res.apk or you can just change it after installing like any other wallpaper.

English: I don't own this phone (I own HTC ChaCha and loving it with my own mod). My friend asked me to customize it a little and some scripts and I just wanted to share what I did. I returned it to him this morning so I am unable to do any more modifications because I don't like to post anything before trying it first. You can use widget locker app (is has an ICS locker and it works great - it just takes a couple seconds on the first boot to load) which can disable the default locker. This is a really nice phone btw.

Regards

Serbian: Ja nemam ovaj telefon (imam HTC ChaCha i uzivam u njemu i modu sto sam kreirao). Drug me zamolio da ga malo dotjeram i sredim i samo sam zelio da podjelim sa drugima sta sam uradio ukoliko se nekom dopadne. Jutros sam mu vratio telefon tako da ne mogu da uradim vise nista jer ne zelim da radim na slijepo i bez licnog testiranja. Widget Locker aplikacija je odlicna ako hoces ICS izgled Locker-a bez muke. Odlicno radi, ima dosta tema, ima opciju da iskljuci glavni Locker. Jedina mana je sto mu treba nekoliko sekundi da se ucita nakon sto se telefon upali prvi put. Ovo je odlican telefon u svakom slucaju.

ok, can u tell me what scripts, we can use for our phone..
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] didije:
Well, the only one that is worth mentioning is DTa2sd. There is a guide for installing it (also a guide for stock roms how to edit init.rc in ramdisk and add a script). I use this in every rom, but to be honest I cannot remember if the boot.img of that rom is needed to be edited. I know it has init.d support but I don't remember if I needed to add sth in init.rc to make dta2sd work. It was a while ago since I did this for him.

Edit: You can also use cron mod script. I used D2EXT when I experimented with this phone. Install it after a fresh rom install (boot ur phone and then flash it via recovery). First boot will take a long time and you may experience one bootanimation loop but it will boot up. I dug up an old screenshot with the end result (see available internal memory).

Edit 2: So, after a couple of beers I made a bet with one of my friends. I really wanted to confirm that CronMod Script works as it is supposed to on this phone so I told him that I can make his phone to have over 1gb of "internal storage"! :)

He accepted the bet and lost :D Here is what I did:

1. Downloaded script. This time I tried INT2EXT+

2. Copied everything from sd card to pc.

3. Entered recovery and from advanced options partitioned card (ext: 1024 swap: 0 - I don't need swap and I recommend you use some normal values, I mean, who really needs 1gb for apps?)

4. Copied back data to sd (rom and script also)

5. Flashed rom and then without rebooting flashed INT2EXT+ script and formated sd-ext from mounts/storage menu in recovery and then I rebooted the phone. It took forever to boot (at first I thought it was stuck at the splash screen and it got me worried a little), but it booted nicely at the end and his internal storage was showing just little below 1gb but it was enough for me to win a bet :) And after that I flashed the theme I made. Everything worked out well and without any errors.

I really hate link2sd, and using this script one doesn't have to worry about the internal storage and there are many versions of it. So, enjoy :) Oh, I almost forgot, please make a backup before doing any of this stuff, you know, just in case.

Cheers

ty, but i ll wait for someone to try that, am first who wants to try, but i only have this phone, and am tired of installing fresh roms :D
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] didije:
I just tried it tonight. I edited my previous post with the instructions. You may try installing it without flashing rom again if you already have a partitioned sd (but don't forget to format sd-ext in recovery right after installing). They say that it will work that way, but I never tried it. And give it some time too boot. If it doesn't, enter the recovery again and format sd-ext again and reboot. Hope that it will work without fresh rom install.

EN: Adobe flash player worked with link2sd, cos lib files were linked to sd, so these dinnt got wiped out when restarting. That is the only positive side of link2sd. Any ideas to make flash player lib files to be linked in similiar way, maybe player will work that way?

SR: Fleš je radio sa link2sd, pošto su lib fajlovi bili vezani za ext particiju, pa samim tim nisu bili brisani iz lib foldera prilikom restartovanja. Ako ima neka ideja da se slična stvar uradi preko ovih skripti bilo bi idealno. Svaka ti dala didije, ovo što načini je veri gud.

Hello!

Somebody help me, how do I do it? :)

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] didije:
I managed to get it to work. Find attached script (you need to extract it) and apk and move them to sd. Create a folder named lib on root of your sd card and put libs in it (extract them of course). Install flash player apk. Download from playstore smanager (script manager), open it, enable browse as root and locate autostart.sh, click on it, open as script/executable and check su and boot and click save (restart your phone or hit run for the script to copy the libs for the first time). It will copy all the libs and set permissions on every boot. And flash player works fine for my friend this way and without link2sd. This also can be done with init.d so there will be no use for smanager as well, but I cannot do it now, maybe in a couple of weeks. This way is also acceptable.

Here is a link for libs: Link

Puffin sucks! I tried it a long time ago.

I would do it but I don't have the phone with me anymore. Sorry.

Nice work bro! Love the toggles and especially the narrow volume sliders :) Don't hate me if I borrow something, I always give credits :) I don't like though the blue text in the settings' sub-menus and battery style (the percentage is difficult to see sometimes). Any screenshots and/or tutorial for the spinners? I tried to implement them but just it wasn't quite an ICS look I was going for so I dropped experimenting due to lack of free time...

Hi all, i'd like to share my experience with the alcatel onetouch 990 that has been with me for a week now... I've been able to root using superoneclick v1.9.5 (thanks to this post), i successfully installed apps that needed root (setcpu etc..), but by the way we don't need setcpu or similar apps cuz the cpu frequency is self monitored / adjusted. You can download any cpu monitoring app to check for yourself...

The major embarrassment with this phone was that I was unable to play music on my car stereo using aux cable.
