Can we get an updated theme fix? I just flashed back to GP7 and I can't figure out how to change the background or text colors.
[Motorola Droid X2] Kevin3328:
Peppermint just curious. ... clearly u have a vast knowledge of developing any plans to make your own custom rom outside of this project? Would love to see what u could bring to the table.. and I guess sorry for hijacking this thread just kinda been thinking about this for a bit
[Motorola Droid X2] Peperm1nt:
I have thought about it, but I have little time as it is with keeping this rom up to date! I actually am in the works of adding in the features stated in the Future Dev section. I don't have a "vast" knowledge, but I have learned a LOT about developing for this device. I plan on doing other stuff IN THE FUTURE, but as for anytime soon, I appologize. But maybe something will come up soon. Someone pointed me to a different launcher and it looks to go in the direction I would like to see GBP7 evolve into; however keeping the WP7 elements. As for my statement on this, I have to say that I don't know what the future will hold. Currently, I'm just finding random bugs(like the Battery Fix I made) and tweaking those. And I'm trying to learn more in the tweaking of the actual system and finding how it works to bring this beast alive, with the limits we have(locked BL). Also, I want to bring this rom to other devices. No one is going in the direction I am taking in Android and I want to try to stay as innovative as I can. To be honest, my original intentions was to "downgrade" our phone to an ORIGINAL cell phone device and build from that(ie. calls, sms, bluetooth, camera, and music only!!! no Smart Phone features). The idea was to bring back OLD stuff and see how the phone would perform in basic form and evolve from that.

As for a theme patch, soon hopefully. Ran into .9 errors and I'm awaiting for the edits from a friend which will fix the theme for everyone. Soon! This will setup the Theme Manager app for this ROM and will allow me to allow easy edits to the overall phone(think Liberty Toolbox but for GBP7).
[Motorola Droid X2] Peperm1nt:
Bump for update!

Flash the patch over your existing v4 GBP7 rom to get the effects. Make sure you WIPE CACHE AND DALVIK-CACHE! Happy Holidays!
[Motorola Droid X2] swbf2lord:
Thanks for the patch. I noticed a few issues with the current ROM. One is small: The Gingerbread Phone 7 logo is stretched when in landscape mode. The other is large: there are very few visible apps compared with Eclipse 1.3. I'm not sure what the cause is for the latter, most likely a device identity error that confuses the Market. (i.e. daytona being spelled datona). But I noticed it after several reflashes, so its not an isolated error.
[Motorola Droid X2] Peperm1nt:
Well be fixed in the next update. It will be 2.3.5 firmware.

Tapin' the Talk on the xSquared
[Motorola Droid X2] swbf2lord:
Thanks. I'm not sure its a ROM issue anymore. I just noticed a similar issue with Eclipse. It may have something to do with Market updates. (The app visibility). For instance: Great Little War game is no longer visible for my device.
[Motorola Droid X2] Peperm1nt:
The ROM is on the Atrix port, thats why the market is failing on some stuff... Will be resolved in next update. The ROM will be on official 235.

[Motorola Droid X2] Peperm1nt:
On the final tests, me and victimssun ran into some framework issues that were affecting other apps. Along with Google Voice Black on Black as well as GMail. Gmail is almost completely fixed thanks to Victimssun and Im bout through with Google Voice. This release will be worth the wait and I appologize. Ill update the OP.

btw GitHub is updated with my mods.
[Motorola Droid X2] T3HBR1AN:
Sounds good! I'll keep an eye out.

[Motorola Droid X2] Peperm1nt:
ROM has been updated to V0.5 Check the ENTIRE OP For full features and known Bugs and HOw to setup the ROM.

Make sure you are on a stock 2.3.5 build prior to flashing! There is a link in the OP for how to do this.

Enjoy :)

A lot has been modded updated in this release And the theme has been completely reworked with the help of victimssun.
[Motorola Droid X2] T3HBR1AN:
Excellent. Im going to try it out tomorrow. I played with a WP at a Best Buy mobile yesterday and it peaked my interest in trying this again.
[Motorola Droid X2] Peperm1nt:
lol my goal is to make it "almost" as identical to that as I can. This is probably going to be the final "major" release for a while. BUT there will still be patches if I deem them necessary. But for now, the ROM is fully functioning with VERY LITTLE bugs. I doubt most will find any to be honest.

But app development is now beginning to be the next course I take in my journey through Android(this ROM was introduced to everyone to help me become a developer) and I WILL be starting to build the apps from Source now and my first goal is to take care of the Contacts and SMS apps to mimic wp7(and yes they will be Facebook/Twitter/Gmail integrated if I can help it). The ROM is going to be released on the X soon and I plan on turning over the maintenance of it to one of their Devs so I can focus on the x2 users :D.

I thank you guys for following this ROM and thank you to my Testers and the Devs that helped make this ROM work right(Ryman222 and victimssun had a big role in this ROMs development).

Soon 2nd INIT will be fully functioning on the x2 and when it does, I can focus on building more of this ROM from source and become an even better developer for you guys.

Hey Pepper! I have not flashed this ROM yet, but I must say I think your idea for this is great! I have been watching it since you first released it. I will try this soon. Keep up the good work, its nice to see a completely different styled rom once in a while(not that there is anything wrong with other roms :P).

Shout out to UbuntuBrandon for uploading a video review of this ROM!!

GBP7 population has grown quite a bit since my initial release of this Project and I would like to thank all those who have supported me and thanks to the devs that have helped me along the way thus far.

History and Explanation of this ROM:

This ROM was started as a Project to help me along the ways to becoming a developer for Android. I don't classify myself as a "good" developer, but this ROM has taught me a lot and the information I have come across since the initial build of this ROM has made me that much better at becoming what I need to be to make this ROM and Project a reality.

The reason why I choose GO! Apps over AOSP is the fact that they have so many features and really isolate a lot of battery drain. The developers @GO! have did an amazing job with these apps and are used in place until I finish building the actual wp7 apps from source. Once I have accomplished a good foundation for those apps, I will replace them to match the theme of this ROM. The goal is to get wp7 UI on Android and not just by replacing a few apps here and there. This will be a project and the day that this ROM is "complete" is when ALL apps(everything that I or any developer supporting this ROM can touch) with a WP7 styling.

Why? Because I honestly feel that WP7 has one of the cleanest and nicest UI's that I have seen on a mobile device. But I choose Android over wp7 because of the Potential the Android platform has with the UNLIMITED customization and the openness of Android. WP7 will probably never have the number of features that Android can offer and with Google's push to keep things open as much as they can, Microsoft has no chance. So, with that comes me and my project(I'm sure there are others as well) to get that WP7 clean and slick UI to our Android Devices.

The Blur camera is used over AOSP because I have had less compatibility issues with the Blur Camera as opposed to AOSP; especially trying to record Hi Def videos on the x2. Soon there will be an AOSP Camera app and soon everything will be built from source.

I thank all those who have supported this project and thanks again to UbuntuBrandon for the video Review.

Happy Holidays everyone :D
[Motorola Droid X2] LaserChicken:
Just got it installed. I don't know if this is bad, but I was on the bare bones version of Eclipse 2.0.2 (2nd Init). I just did a data wipe and factory reset, didn't SBF. I still get the Eclipse animation during boot, but the phone comes up fine.

So far, the only issue I'm seeing is Gmail is black on black, I see that's been reported already. I'll get more time to use it tomorrow and see how things go.
[Motorola Droid X2] Peperm1nt:
The eclipse boot animation is the nexus bout animation, with eclipse tagging it. If you notice, the eclipse logo isn't in the center of the boot animation.

The text errors will be patched with next release, just got my new computer yesterday and still setting up my tools to work things out.should see a patch within a week or two, but it will probably be a full release. Hope you enjoy.
[Motorola Droid X2] LaserChicken:
I hate to over-post in the dev area so I'll just update this post if I notice any other issues.

I used the phone (with GBP rom) for about 24 hours now. That might not sound like much, but I'm obsessed with my phone and use it for everything from entertainment to work. Anyway, GBP has worked fine. I have had zero data issues, I use Skifta to interact with Rygel on the Linux box I use for media--I streamed Contagion (movie) with no issues or interruptions. I downloaded a few large files (Fedora.iso) over wifi just to test the connection--no issues. The 3g speed was a bit slow, my speed test was about half a meg, upload was not much better. I normally pull about 1mb, but the connection was stable--and the speed issue could have been for many reasons that have little to do with the rom. I played music for a few hours, no issues, used mx video to watch an episode of Family Guy from my SD, no issues. About the only time I had an error was using the camera, when I tap the image to open the gallery, it says there is no gallery installed--but when I open gallery from the app drawer, everything is fine.

I'm not a dev or even a professional tester, but the phone worked for all my normal uses. I did notice that it doesn't have the bells and whistles that Eclipse does, but damn, I'd be proud if it was my first effort.
[Motorola Droid X2] Peperm1nt:
I have NO android experience prior to the x2 lol and this ROM was made for me to learn how the process is with development of Android software and ROM developing. Thanks for the post LaserChicken. I hope you enjoyed the ROM.

The issue stated within the camera app is because its the stock blur camera, and I didn't rework it to use the Gallery provided. Waiting to build everything AOSP with the next release and hopefully, the dialer and sms will be exactly like the wp7 apps; along with some other goodies.
[Motorola Droid X2] phieta:
That's really impressive. I've been meaning to flash your ROM, Peperm1nt, when I get more work done and had to comment on that when I was checking out your thread. How did you get into developing? I'm just curious how ppl get into developing these ROMs. All my knowledge is through GOOGLE and I wish I had computer classes at my high school.
[Motorola Droid X2] Peperm1nt:
Just pick up n go...learn different aspects of how the system works. Plus I have a good foundation in Linux and how OS's operate. Google was my friend in learning the process.
[Motorola Droid X2] Watercycle:
wow the theme looks really nice =) ~ I've never been a real big windows mobile fan either

the only thing holding me back from going for it is i don't know how kind the battery life and performance plan to be, how much free ram, and if i can actually trust my phone to not consume it's battery life when it's not in use lol

I used to have a silicone case but I exchange it for a snap on hard case. I keep my arc in the pocket and it tends to slip out from the silicone case because the case sticks a bit to clothes. Also I found that the silicone case does not give a nice shape to the arc as it brings more thickness since the arc is a thin phone.

Beware, CRAZY TALK...

Edit::: To clarify, I'm saying if you use a launcher and have your notification bar hidden you may run into a problem when trying to mount your sdcard onto your pc.

Ok, I've seen this so many times when using Launcher7, or any launcher that allows you to hide th notification bar. You may think "nah, that's not the problem", but I can almost asure you 100% that this is the problem for our phones on FROYO. I've tested this many different ways...

Edit::: This fixes USB/sdcard mounting.

LOL he's saying that if you're running L7 and can't mount your sd card to yourPC, make sure you're not hiding the notification bar because that's what causes your computer to not see the card when you mount.

Atleast....I think

[Epic 4G General] malcolmXman:
I promise you this is a problem. But the fix is un-hide and reboot, but I've seen it still be iffy. I installed any other launcher that dosnt have that option (TW 3) and it works every single time, and I mean 100 times no problem. It dosnt happen on GB, mounting always works even when notification bar is hidden, only a problem on FROYO.
[Epic 4G General] zanderman112:
Its still never happened to me and I use adw.ex to hide the notification bar all of the time. And I use L7 with the status bar "replaced" by the wp7 ome

I just noticed this in the Privacy settings and since I use CWM and Titanium Backup pretty regularly, is there still a reason to use this option as well? I assume that the syncing of contacts, calendar, etc. will still happen as needed.

I noticed in 'Partial Wakelocks' within BetterBatteryStats that I've had a count of 1762 after just under 12hrs. I imagine this has had an impact on my battery.

The partial wakelock is listed as "*backup* Android System".
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Entropy512:
I've found that in weak signal (bouncing between one bar and no service) on some ROMs (most notably Hellraised ones for some reason) can cause Google sync to rape battery.

For me it's always been gmail - It happened a lot on every Hellraised ROM I tried, less so on S7 but still occasionally.

It seems to be the case where the cpuidle patch in my latest DD kernel and the Hellraiser beta9 kernel makes the most difference.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Evanescense:
So I just got my Samsung Infuse 4G like 2 days ago and wanted to customize it.

It was running firmware 2.2 with froyo.

I rooted it with SuperOneClick and it went smoothly.

After that I went ahead and did the 3e recovery.

Note: I also used the Titanium Recovery.

After that I followed gtg465x's post and used ROM manager to install infused v2.2.3

I deleted the recovery file as he mentiones in step 7

On step 14 it rebooted but it took me to the ClockworkMod Recovery screen and did NOT install it automatically like the step mentions.

So, I followed "Samsung Infuse how to install the infused ROM" on youtube from user "rt5060" and installed it manually.

After finishing installing it , and around minute 8:48 on the youtube video, after reboot system now, the Samsung screen came up and after that it just kept playing an animation of some fireworks or lights that come from the sides and fuse at the middle.

It never shows up the ATT logo and just keeps playing the animation mentioned above.

Now, I can get it to Download mode, but now what do i do to make it work or even to flash it back to stock.

Any help would be much appreciated please.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Kadin:
How long did you let the firework 'X' animation go for? It can go for quite a while the first time I've noticed.

I never use that or the Search/Voice Search widgets personally. I notice too that Samsung ditched it on the Galaxy S2.

Let's see how it's implemented in ICS when that comes out, with it's 'virtual buttons'. I'm guessing by virtual they just mean context sensitive?

I use it for voice search. Mostly for navigation. I just say "Navigate to Davenport hotel in Spokane, WA" or something and it just pulls the map up and starts telling me where to go.
