Have you tested this? I'm doing backup right now, and I might, but I'm looking at the script, and it says it's for Galaxy S. There's also a part on one of the first lines where you have to specify your launcher. Also, I don't think the scripts it our init.d even begin with "S_..", but rather with a two digit number, e.g. "06swapon".

EDIT: I edited the file to point to my launcher "com.fede.launcher", and touched nothing else. Named it "18smooth" or something of the sort, and put it in /system/etc/inid.d. The system failed to boot(never got past the second "LG" screen. Maybe it's the rom I'm using, but this is not working so far. I hope your promised tutorial is of use. :)
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] eoghan2t7:
yes i have tested it and it works i will be uploading a modded one for the update.zip but if you install it just rename it to 97smoothnees, it asks for the launcher you currently are using e.g. adw launcher but if you have any worries wait until tomorrow for the tut :p
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] eoghan2t7:
I think this is helping with battery management because my battery seems to be going down slower ;)
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] nutterbg:
Let's hope I'm wrong. :) Looking forward to that tutorial.

Downloaded it, and flash'd it in cwm on my girlfriends gt540. In her opinion, it makes a noticeable difference.
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] pRo_lama:
Oki, so I install this script and I must say that it's working. ;-)
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] eoghan2t7:
Tut added hopefully you can all understand it ;)
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] pRo_lama:
Hmm, I don't know why but I don't have "97loopy_smoothness_tweak" in folder.
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] eoghan2t7:
let me have a quick check to see whats going on ;)
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] pRo_lama:
I did this and when i'm trying to do next i can't find the file in etc/init.d folder
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] eoghan2t7:
i just tried the update.zip again there and it installed fine for me what clockwork version are you using?

but you can extract the zip file and manually add the file to the init.d folder and give it these perrmissions

I have 4.0.1.4.

When I apply script, reboot phone then on screen with PIN I don't have any delay.
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] eoghan2t7:
try adding it manually to see what happens.
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] pRo_lama:
So I must manualy add the file into system and then continue with tutorial ???
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] eoghan2t7:
yes you coy the script to the ect/init.d folder then continue with the tut ;)

Why should I do the customMTD? (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=7061471#post7061471)

I'm not using ClockworksMOD as described by COS-DS. Should I? (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=950765)

My partition order is different as described by COS-DS. Does it matter?
[G1 General] AndDiSa:
Using customMTD you could assign your cache memory (around 27MB) as internal memory.

Clockwork, I don't like much, but this is my personal opinion. Advantage(?) of Clockwork: you can flash unsigned zip files.

Partition layout probably matters, because on system startup there is a chance, that they are not mounted.
[G1 General] samandiriel:
I found customMTD to be difficult to install (I did it with firerat's Magpie ROM), but worth it for the extra space it gave me. Prior to, I was getting low on disk space messages and random shutdowns galore.

I don't recall why, but during my research I recall learning that Amon-Ra is stable and Clockwork isn't if you're going to use customMTD.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sava1007:
Trying to test an app I developed; first roadblock is the setting under Applications / Unknown Sources [Allow installation of non-Market applications] is missing!

This is on a new g-Tablet (1.2-4349). I changed ROM to Mountain Laurel yesterday, and setting option is still not there. Can anyone confirm if this setting is available in Honeycomb or any other ROM versions, and/or how to make it appear (or what file to hack into to change the setting on the g-Tab?)

Thanks,

G
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aabbondanza:
It's never been there on my gTablets (4 - since they was new-also.4349s). Not sure if it's gTablet thing or Android 2.2 or greater thing. My old Anroid 2.1 tab had the option.

Even without the option your gTabelt can install from non-market sources.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sava1007:
Thanks for the reply. I think it is this "Unknown Sources" option which is what allows the Android device to be displayed as a target in the SDK to which to port your app. Currently, I am only able to 'test' the app in the Emulator through Eclipse.

If I create the entire .apk package, then yes I could probably install it w/o going through the Market, but when you're testing an app and compiling 40+ times a day, that's not a very productive way to do it. Essentially, I need to have the gTablet available as a device through the SDK to port the app, otherwise I'm stuck in testing it in the Emulator on my Windows computer for now...

UPDATE TO THE ABOVE POST -----

Just to resolve/close out this issue, in case someone has this same problem down the road... I just updated the ROM to the Flashback-Honeycomb, and the Unknown Sources option is THERE! Woo-hoo! I had absolutely NO issues with the update; simply downloaded/copied the update.zip to the device root, rebooted with power/Vol+ selected the zip, then rebooted and selected "Wipe user data" (then scroll down to "Yes"), it is up, running and quite an elegant interface. All is working well about an hour into this!!!

When I go into the Contacts app, then click on the Contacts icon where you see an A to Z sorted list of contacts, I also see a # symbol above the A, down the right hand side.

I don't understand the purpose of the symbol and why some of my contacts are listed under the # list rather than under the J for Julie for example. There doesn't appear to be anything different about one contact or another in the way I've defined them.

Has anyone else noticed this or can explain why it happens.

In case it makes a difference, all my contacts are sync'd from a Exchange account.

How to get BLACK Notification Bar for the Motorola Defy(Official Froyo 2.2) in the Simplest way?

Is it possible to apply the Black bar in the simplest way without installing/using custom roms like CM7 or MIUI or flashing anytheme roms?

i very much want a Black or Best-a "Transparent" Notification Bar(if possible) ,but i dont know how?

is using metamorph & a spl theme the easiest way to install black status/notification bar?...if yes,plz tell me the correct procedure!

i am currently on official Indian Froyo 2.2 from Motorola & am quite happy with everything & dont want to install other roms! (also i find the installation process complicated & risky), except a Black or Best-a "Transparent" Notification Bar!

Can u experts tell me in the simplest way how to do it,(step by step if possible), how to achieve what i'm seeking?

I'm just a common noob!....reply & help me plz!

*btw, my defy is rooted !

TIA!
[Defy Themes and Apps] mihovil13:
I think that the only way is to flash a ROM with black bar.

And transparent status bar isn't possible.

I recommend that you flash CM7.
[Defy Themes and Apps] kbxdauser2011:
No other replies...some alternative method of achieving Black status bar other than flashing custom roms?....i dont want to flash other roms..i'm happy with froyo 2.2,except the status bar which i want to be black coloured or transparent!
[Defy Themes and Apps] zoitee:
May be not directly answer your question,

but you can use some luancher that can HIDE the notification bar.

So yau can still use official froyo and no notification bar on the top of the screen.
[Defy Themes and Apps] kbxdauser2011:
Already doing that!... but i seriously thought black status bar could be at least possible on a froyo defy,w/o flashing any custom roms!...but i'm getting no lead to that!

current h.s w/o Statusbar
[Defy Themes and Apps] lim eng seng:
can use go launcher. there is an option to hide the bar
[Defy Themes and Apps] Kazid:
I'm not too sure, but I think the black bar is possible only on android 2.3.0 or later. Sure is possible do it on any rom, but you will have to edit the source of the rom, compile it again and flash it, so its more easy you flash a 2.3.x rom than put the black bar on your rom w/o flash it again (to not say impossible).
[Defy Themes and Apps] juli9797:
in cm7 you can use themes which have a black or a transparent Status bar.I think it's not possible to get a different status bar in Stockroms!

sorry for my bad english

[Defy Themes and Apps] juli9797:
Sorry that's wrong !

you can use this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=867692 theme with metamorph.

just download the. zip file from the link + metamorph from the Marked. Then open metamorph and select unzip/extract new theme and choose your downloadet zip.

if you want back to stock, just download the other zip and apply

it.

sorry for my bad english

[Defy Themes and Apps] kbxdauser2011:
Thanks everyone ! :)

I'm already using this same procedure with Go Launcher Ex for hiding the status bar.Anyway,Go Launcher Ex is really a super launcher!

Thanks Friend!,...but i'm Not such a expert,...i like the black bar in the simplest of way with least risk of damage to phone or its o.s, & n'way i'm currently abstaining from flashing 3rd party roms

Thanks Friend for trying to help me out, & it would have been perfect solution for me, except that there r lot of problems with it,particularly clock as found by various users,..morever i'm NOT sure if it's for 2.1 or 2.2 ?...i allmost halfbricked my defy by installing a wrong theme under metamorph!
[Defy Themes and Apps] Kazid:
Sorry to say, but if you want a black bar, lose this fear of install a rom or give up from this ideia. All this have risk of brick. You start of play with it will ensure you to solve any problem after. If you install a wrong zip from metamorph on your rom, you will have to install a rom our lose much more. Install the titanium backup. Make the backup of everything and try a new rom.the risk of you brick your phone trying to put the black bar without change your android version is much bigger than just put a cm7, for example. Get the FAQ on dev section of how install the cm7 or ginger with motoblur. Read it well and do exactly how it say. Will be faster and easier than how are you trying.
[Defy Themes and Apps] kbxdauser2011:
other than of just the fear of bricking the phone,....i have the fear that Cm7 or miui are still half baked products with bugs here & there...,example.wifi will not work/ cause problem(i have NO data plans & completely dependent upon wifi) or camera will not work properly etc,etc. i still feel that for stability purpose with everything running properly,stock roms r the best!
[Defy Themes and Apps] overclockthesun:
Seriously you think stock is the best.... well I just flashed for the first time and used CM 7 RC 1 and I was delighted to see an almost 2x increase in my GPRS/Edge 2G speed almost instantaneously. On my stock 2.2.2 Froyo.... it was cr$p
[Defy Themes and Apps] kbxdauser2011:
^^ have u any Negative experience with working/using the wifi & also about camera on defy after updating to cm7?...i hear many ppls facing problems on those issues. So,i'm asking u, if u can give me a Honest answer?...also can u tell me ,why it is called Cm7 RC1(Release Candidate1)?...why are not they final yet..if they r just perfect?
[Defy Themes and Apps] Kazid:
I don't have any problems with camera on my green lents defy. I just don't have a way yet to make a video with 720p, and this you don't have with stock too. Out you have a red lent, you can do it. Its not a final version 'cause they still trying a way to put 720p on green yet and others little things. It get a final version just when the group of cm past to support the device (hard without unlocked bootloader).

All that you have on the stock I have on cm7, much faster by the way. And you don't have a clock on demand like us, cannot change your lock screen by free without a ads or a strange bug that I fold when I tried do it on a stock. You cannot change your status bar or what you have on it and even get a transparent effect when slide it. And by the way, none about multitouth by default. And since I have used a custom rom,i had, the luck, of not see anymore a force close windows (much common when I was on 2.1 w/ blur). But is your choose. But with metamorph, you install a zip as you was installing a rom out paths of it. Any wrong file, and your rom can be corrupted. With this, or you do a backup of the rom or lost ask.

Do whatever you choose, but first install the titanium backup a do a backup of whatever you have. With this, whatever problem you have, you will can restore your apps and the data from them.
[General Questions and Answers] devps:
Hey people,

I just want to say something that is bugging me about android updates. It is depended on what manufacturer you have for getting system updates(eclair, froyo...) and most of them don't release updates for some reason about google or their own policies(for selling new devices, maybe incompatible(!) or else). But we see some groups release custom roms for popular models. that means they are compatible and it can be done. and some devices don't get any or get not fully functional roms because of their developers are not so talented, they have small developer group or other reasons. So this device owners never gets new apps or functionalities they may have. So my question is will we have to toss that devices to trash or is it possible to make system updates device independent?

Thanks.
[General Questions and Answers] rootfan:
It is not possible to make a universal update, because all devices have their own specific hardware builds that need to be compensated with specific drivers to make use of what that Device can do. Even custom roms only work with one device or another similar product. Also every company wants to make their software unique to the rest of the crowd such as motorolas motoblur and samsungs touchwiz. So no, there never will be one update that works for all because of hardware.
[HTC Sensation] ScurvyJ:
CID

It's your carrier's unique identifier. It has information like the country and a carrier code assigned by ITU (UN's telecom regulation department I believe).

fastboot

It works a lot like HBOOT and it lets you flash things ie radios and run some other commands.

USB debugging

Allows you to use adb commands on your phone. Carriers usually leave it off for security I guess.

S-ON/S-OFF is security on/off. If it is ON then a unique signing key from HTC is looked for by HBOOT before allowing something to be flashed. We don't have the key so no ROMs or anything fun until we can get S-OFF. S-OFF doesn't look for that key so we can do whatever we want.

I hope helped clear these few things up
[HTC Sensation] Firefall!:
Isn't it the thingy that makes your phone boot faster, by whatever means? I thought when Fastbood is enabled, your phone is not really turning off when you turn it off, or rather it boots up very fast compared to when fastboot is disabled.

I CAN send adb commands to my phone, even though I have USB debugging turned off...

Thank you very much for your kind contribution :)

[HTC Sensation] ScurvyJ:
I thought you were talking about the partition, the fastboot you are talking about is essentially the equivalent of hibernate windows. It writes the ram and such to memory so when your turn your phone on it loads the previous state into ram instead of actually loading the whole system again.

It has always been my understanding that is how USB Debugging works but I must be wrong. Hopefully someone else can shed some light on that.

[Touch Cruise General] Hakim Rahman:
First of all you should try hard reset again by:

- Press and hold the GPS/MESSAGING and INTERNET EXPLORER

buttons, and at the same time, use the stylus to press the RESET

button at the bottom of your device.

- Release the RESET button, but continue pressing the GPS/ MESSAGING and INTERNET EXPLORER buttons until you see this message on the screen " This operation will delete all your personal data, and reset all settings to manufacturer default. Press send to restore manufacturer default, or press other keys to cancel "

- Release the buttons, and then press SEND on your device to perform

the hard reset, or press any other button to cancel the reset.

if it still does not help try to reflash with official rom which you can get in http://shipped-roms.com/index.php?category=windows mobile&model=Polaris
