Microphone with a wired headset

[Optimus V Android Development] bigsupersquid:
yeah, my prebuilt for the OV is debian rather than ubuntu. I avoid ubuntu based on the extra bloat and the background services I have to disable after installing it.

anything that runs on the OS should run on the OV as well unless it relies on the RIL daemon, sprint-specific network features, or the mtd partition sizes. the hardware in the two phones is basically identical other than the two switched buttons. Same part number on the board even.

You can open up the maps app, then hold back button to kill it after you're done using it (CM7 feature). Or go to settings - applications -all apps to kill it.

I tested the Navigation app today for about 15 minutes. It found my location instantly, looked up my destination in about 20 seconds on 3g, and gave me step by step voice instructions all the way to the destination, and popped up the street view of the destination about 100 yards before I arrived there.

After reading a pastebin from someone who said navigation was crashing, I noticed that particualr person had no network access just before the usage. This leads me to believe that issues with navigation are related to network connectivity at the time you are attempting to use it.

my woman is really enjoying IHO on her new OV by the way. She's not technically apt at all, but she likes the features I've pointed out on request.

I talked her into replacing our old Rumor Touch with one of these (couldn't pass up $50, even if I got the last one off the shelf at 4:30AM friday.) Took less than 10 minutes to root, custom recovery, and flash IHO. Must have done it too many times already :p

Answering to mic input from phone and not headphone with mic.

No, so far it doesn't work. I was facing the same problem so I decided to try a different approach. I had a bluetooth output device by JVC with mic, attached to my car system ( or headphones) using a standard headphone jack, no mic and it worked but was fickle, would not constantly connect (does work well on bumble bee rom). Eventually I had to go back to bumble bee rom, as I need to talk and drive and not get arrested. ... before anyone starts telling me you're not suppose to be talking and driving, whats your point if you have a passenger in your car and having an active converstation??? Its basically the same, its definately not as dangerous as texting and driving.

It would be pretty sick to see an IHO build specifically for the Gelato

It might be totally foolish but strangely I trust google - besides they know everything else in the world about me so.... Besides, in theory android is completely open source (at least by the time we get it) so aside from the closed source google apps (maps and such) we should be able to audit the code and know exactly what they're logging right?

@Jerry

Do you advise flashing the Activate_Bootsound before or after Green Machine?
[Optimus V Android Development] JerryScript:
I know there is lots of advice out there stating you should always boot first before flashing anything else (themes, gapps, etc). However, I always use the following steps when testing out a new build:

1- Download new build to sdcard

2- Check md5

3- Reboot into recovery

4- Wipe cache

5- Wipe dalvik cache

6- Flash new build

7- Flash new GreenMachineTheme

8- Flash activate_bootsounds

9- Reboot

This has only failed me once or twice, and if memory serves, both times the issue was a corrupt download (I didn't used to always check md5 ;) )

An idea you may or may not like:

Cut down the launcher dock to one icon, the app drawer launcher, and remove the background. Under adw settings, set swipe up actions to open/close the hidden dock bar. Add the apps you had on the launcher dock bar to the hidden dock bar, and more if you like, it swipes left/right. Now you have a cleaner home screen, and those important apps are available on all screens with a quick swipe up. ;)

I cleaned up that image a bit, took out the artifacts, sharpened it, resized to icon size (48x48) and converted it to a transparent png. Using the right size images for icons will improve screen performance (though you may not realize it ;) ).

The second icon is from the ICS source code, just in case you want to try it out.
[Optimus V Android Development] SuperFilapo:
Set the dock to None. And swipe up & down to open and close dock bar.

Had to push a new boot animation to system/media. The original was broken ;)

EDIT: Removed App drawer icon all together. Set double tap function to open app drawer.

Be sure both Enable Surface Dithering and Use 16bit Transparency are checked. ;)

Also for an additional hidden menu that can be accessed from within any app or screen, look into SwipePad from the market (see my screenshots in my sig). I set the top-right corner of my screen as the hotspot, so a quick swipe down from that spot opens the SwipePad launcher, which has slots for multiple apps, and can be expanded with multiple functions (some do cost extra, but the basic app is free).
[Optimus V Android Development] mjs2011:

[Optimus V Android Development] bigsupersquid:
no. wrong chipset for the kernel. you will not be able to boot.

if you want to try to port it over, start with flashing an anykernel zip for your phone over the ROM, and it should at least boot. you won't have any radio functions except maybe wifi from the anykernel zip. probably no accelerometer either, but they're the same chip and might work.

hee, hee, hee!

I've read that google is either:

a) in cahoots with the CIA, freely sharing all information

b) owned/run covertly by the CIA

I only use ixquick metasearch for searches of anything... iffy... on the web, I use google for stuff that shouldn't raise too many red flags.

And I use iceweasel browser from debian chroot for opening any pages I don't want google to log me as having been at (don't trust their android browser any more than the search engine.)

I don't install any of the gapps, so there are minimal google services running on my phone, but it still pings data out every now and then... I don't have ANY apps installed that use background data, (probably less than 5 extra apps installed,) and all syncing is turned off, so SOMETHING's definitely going on there.

Sure, I could just be misinformed and paranoid, but why ask for trouble?

I have not noticed a significant benefit of overclock. But, as Jerry has stated previously, each phones processor is different.

In example: My OV seems to handle a 320/806 just fine, though I choose to remain default.

Using IHO CM7 on the OV has completely converted me into a CM fan, I ordered a Motorola Triumph (crossing fingers it's not defective), and one of the main requirements was that a stable CM build works on it (it does, just no working HDMI output yet).

One of the ICS keyboard upgrades was more accurate targetting for the keys, not exactly how it works but I think it's more accurate than GB as well.

I've been wondering this for a while and have finally remembered to post the question: what do you fine folks see as the "best" launcher?

[Optimus V Android Development] bigsupersquid:
I really don't like ADW but I'm too lazy to remove it most of the time. Until it removes the bottom bar too many times.

[Optimus V Android Development] jawz101:
the only 2 reasons I use a non-stock launcher. Adding more than the default number of icons and attaching swipe shortcuts to icons. As far as I know Launcher Pro & Go Launcher are the only ones that do this. Launcher Pro wins because Go Launcher has way too much features to me.

With swipe-up actions each icon on the home screen now serves me 2 apps:

icon / swipe-up action:

phone / voice search

market / settings

applications / clock

sms / email

browser / launches my current favorite game

that's really the only reasons why I have a non-stock launcher. If other launchers would use swipe-up actions I'd probably switch but Launcher Pro does it for me.
