Thanks for considering it, but if you'd rather not that's cool too. I completely understand about having issues. My process has worked for all my devices across all the ROMs I've ever tried up to and including on an ICS ROM on my Galaxy tab so I just figured I'd share if anyone else was feeling gutsy :).

Working as expected for me.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] inkling:
Sorry, false alarm on the battery use thing. I should have checked, but a restart cleared it up. I am using battery monitor widget, fyi.

---------- Post added at 04:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:20 PM ----------

I did a quick look through, since I can't remember either what happened with the issue before, and I didn't find anything conclusive. I don't think it was really resolved for me. I had thought it had to do with cache and dalvik clearing, but this time it happened with a simple restart.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Blue6IX:
Glad to hear your battery settings issue wasn't a problem - might've been something with the widget - something like that was my first thought when I couldn't duplicate the issue. Sounds like a simple hiccup and nothing to write home about since a reboot cleared it up.

I would ask you to please report back if you have any further issues with it though, just so I can stay on top of any potential problems that may develop within the ROM - and thanks for posting about it!

--------

I don't think there was anything conclusively decided before either - just to clarify your posting, though, did a restart fix the problem, or cause it?

Are you still having problems with the GO launcher widgets is my question.

If I wasn't spending my time now on really working with Rosie ( Sense launcher ) and learning how to optimize and speed her up, Go Launcher EX would be my top choice for an alternative launcher on this device.

The raw power the MT4GS has really makes Go Launcher shine once you can enable all the visual effects and stuff - whereas a lesser device slows down and gets laggy doing that.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] dillalade:
T

It happened on my sense launcher was stuck at 12:00 in the status bar. Can't remember if lockscreen also.

Again the hot reboot sorted this out.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Blue6IX:
Alright, thanks for the followup - i'll keep an eye out and see if this happens, or if I notice anything that might have caused it (... other then just a random hiccup) while i'm digging around in code.

If anyone else has this happen, can they please post about it and any other info they can think of that might be relevant?

Thanks!
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] inkling:
Yeah, it was a restart that seemed to cause it. GoLauncher is good, for sure. Not a huge deal, but if there's any info I can provide I'd be glad to. I did a restart since, with a widget installed, and the problem didn't happen. It's not every time.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Blue6IX:
Okay - thanks for reporting back - and i'm glad it's working at least some of the time. (i'll thank you for the report when I get them back)

I'll spend some time really focusing on this over the next few days to see if I can figure out what the issue is here - I have a feeling it's just going to become more prevalent the further along we move. If it's going to be resolved, sooner is better then later, because i'll end up building the ROM past a workable solution without attention to this issue.

I know the ROM is built and being built dependent upon using Rosie as the Launcher - but this is Android, synonymous with choice, and if there is one alternative Launcher I would pick - Go is it.

I also intend to solve the small problem of the big weather widget not displaying the temperature before moving on as well - that's just not cool, minor though it may be.

Besides, for how much this 1.1 update has changed, I want to give people a few days to settle into it and make sure there aren't any other little nagging problems before we move on. No sense in rushing and aggravating any issues that may arise - steady progress is better then buggy speed. I want to make sure we actually did gain the ground we've made before we push for more.

I also want to take this opportunity to tie up some loose ends I have laying around here in the MT4GS forums too, so this works all around.

Thanks to everyone for their interest and feedback, you are all helping to make this ROM better.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Blue6IX:
More themes? Maybe so!!!!!!!

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=20340488#post20340488

Check out this post by sgtmedeiros in the general section.

Seems he got the CM7 themes on the ROM - not sure yet if it's in addition to the stock themes already there, but if so you can expect a whole lot more theme options coming soon.

I've wanted to add more themes to the ROM and have said as much in a few posts here - but with everything i've been doing I haven't had the chance to figure out exactly how to do this.

We may very well have the answer sitting right in front of us.

I'm excited!!!!!!!!

EDIT:

Looks like we're in business - expect more info and updates to roll out on this over the night and into tomorrow!!!!!!
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] KrnlPanic:
Once again, blue, I bow before you!

Amazing work on this ROM as always!

Running it with the ICS launcher from the market for a splash of ice cream sandwich... :-)

Thank you again for all your hard work and dedication!
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Blue6IX:
You know, I was thinking about making a mod for this ROM that was fake-ics ( you know, make it say ICS in the phone settings and such ) in time for the holidays so that people could fake out their cousins and extended family by making them think they had ICS on their phone.

How does the launcher run, is it buggy or laggy? Does it change all the status bar icons and such - or are they still the way they are in the ROM?

If it doesn't take me too much effort to slap together a working-solid fake-out ICS mod, i'd like to get one out before christmas.

Let me know what you guys think about this.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] KrnlPanic:
It works flawlessly. And I would love the ICS tag in there somewhere ;-) here is a screenshot of the launcher :

I also would like to add that out of all the roms that claim to have power+ home screenshot, Yours is the only one that actually works... :-)
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] KrnlPanic:
Forgot to add a shot without the status bar and icons hidden...
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] dillalade:
I tried the ICS team syndicate lanucher. I didn't like it.

The 3 soft keys are not needed for us full stop.

Though they are there, the back button soft key (lhs) always causes a black screen for too long a period. The recent apps soft key (rhs) is static - the true ICS launcher shows recent apps, which can be killed be a hold swipe.... Similarly this hold swipe feature works in the same manner to notifications in the status/noitifcations pull down (rather pressing clear all, clears all.)

The app drawer is not true ICS like neither, in this version it's a step backwards.

For those reasons of it being a gimmicky ICS taster rather then a true essence of its features.

I'd prefer to see ICS come about from AOSP sources then these options.

All for the faking peeps with build.prop edit thingy ;)

ICS launcher I guess individuals can take down from market at will. I just didn't like the interperation available to us currently.

Perhaps abe "Theme" which very cloesly mimmicks ICS look & feel, could be a interim fix.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Blue6IX:
Thanks for the input and thoughts so far.

Yea, it wouldn't be ICS for real, i'm going to make sure it's crystal clear it's all fake and just a gag deal. ( On the download, after you flash the mod, the pretend game is on though. )

Seemed like something fun for the holidays.

What i'll do is download the market launcher, see what it has and what it still needs support from in the ROM-MOD to make the fakeout theme, and then make a flashable patch people can download to use with the launcher they'll have to download from the market.

Especially with the fantastic find about the CM7 themes post in General I linked to above, knocking this out is more of the same of what i'll be working on now - so it's not out of my way to make it happen.

I also still have the HTC default wallpapers in the ROM now that are not available in the wallpaper selection. They were never enabled in the stock ROM because there are missing preview pictures, so i'll run those through Photoshop and generate the preview pictures they need to appear in the wallpaper selection.

I suppose the time is now to get most of the theme stuff taken care of, since it all seems to be happening at once.

A nice, low pressure take my time relaxing dev project is just what I need after the craziness I just went through to get 1.1 done.

I also need to make my app icons and menu icons available as a packaged download, plus get all the stock icons together for a download package too - so I can get all this theme stuff handled now all at once.

Seems like the right answer.

If anyone has any other input on the whole theme/wallpaper/icon stuff i'm getting ready to work through, feel free to post up any thoughts you have.

Thanks!

Blue, I guess you and I are the only ones that like the green...
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Blue6IX:
Lol it's okay - glad someone else likes it - i've had a few ( very few - lol ) scattered reports of happiness towards the green.

With the headway we are making on adding new themes, though, I think we're gonna be in a good way for the people who would rather have something else.

...Especially since it seems now that we won't have to cannibilize a pre-existing theme to add a different option as a short term patch and we can just jump straight to adding more.

Definitely look forward to more fun stuff to mod the ROM with trickling out over the next few days - I have a few new lockrings already finished i'll be uploading soon for people to play with so far.

I'm having an absolute blast with this, working with Android is more and more fun ever time I sit down at my computer.

( I was supposed to be upgrading the RAM in my laptop with the chip I have sitting here right now and transferring my dev environment over to the old desktop I just scavenged a few days ago - but with the exciting developments on the themes we're experiencing right now that's just gonna have to wait. )

Hey blue, awesome work with 1.1. One thing though, I tried flashing the zip for stock key layout plus search and its not working. Is there something that you did that breaks the search function? Can anyone else replicate this?

Blue your awesome bro.... Any word on the process of a kernel? ;)
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Blue6IX:
How to use Search with the Genius Button.

In Bulletproof 1.1:

I have removed the Google Search Bar app - which is what the short-press of the Genius button accesses for search function.

The first reason that I removed this is because the QuickLookup app that came on the phone is I feel better - it is google search, wikipedia, youtube and translate all in one. A much more robust app. (even though the last link to google dictionary is broken - can't win them all)

The shortcut of "search" is not wasted without the app it tries to use for search, because it still enables you to use the shortcut functions on the phone that are a button press + search.

If you would like your actual search functionality back with the short-press of the Genius button, and not just use it for the keyboard shortcuts, all you have to do is open up Bloater and go to the "3rd-Party apps" category and install the "Google Search Bar" app.

The second reason I removed the Google Search Bar app from the stock Bulletproof distribution is because I know for a fact other people have been removing it and replacing it with some of the themed versions of that app you can find in the market.

It makes it easier for those people to install the themed versions fresh from the market, instead of having to remove the stock version and then replace with a themed version.

I was worried that something was broken, but it is all working the way it should.

I just downloaded the keymapping file, installed it, checked it - downloaded the Google Search Bar app from the Bloater app, and after doing so it all works as expected.

I apologize for not making this more clear elsewhere in the thread - but hopefully this clears up any confusion you or others may have.

I will link this post to the Mods & Apps section of the first post in the thread so others can understand what's going on and how to use the ROM.

Thank you for bringing this up.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Blue6IX:
Hah - one thing at a time.

I need to get this ROM a lot more optimized, cleaned up and generally faster and more responsive before any kernel work on overclock is worth the time invested.

Tonight it's about themes and such given what was discovered earlier with the CM7 themes.

This weekend is all about getting the next of the updates ready to roll out, and start working us up to 2.0

2.0 should be getting close, if not there, for prep to start playing with kernel edits.

I need a good, solid ROM to dump the kernels in that i've flexed my control in, where all the details are known and accounted for. This will let me minimize the variables present for comparing kernel work in - and I will be releasing a "kernel test" version of Bulletproof for people who want to help me test kernels in.

It will be functionally not much different from the stock distribution, but will help seperate the people who will be helping me test kernels and allow me to branch that version in a different direction.

Right now Bulletproof is front and center in my sights - but that kernel work is the whole point of everything I am doing in the ROM. Don't worry, we're getting there ... I'm just a fan of steady progress which takes longer then a rushed release needing constant patches.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] dung8604:

Okay, so I confess - i'm a pretty big Batman fan.

... and hey, he always had the coolest, cutting edge toys to play with.

There's no other slide phone that can compare to 'cutting edge cool toy' like the MT4GS so, seems like a natural fit.

Number 005 is my favorite, the most subtle - which is a trait I like.

Number 006 has just his eyes peeking over the edge of the screen, thought that was pretty cool.

I remembered seeing both the 'armed & hammered' and 'guns & coffee' pictures some time ago, so did a random google image search and grabbed the first one of each I saw.

I sourced all my links to the graphics in case anyone is interested and so the original authors have a chance at the credit they deserve.

Enjoy!
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] dung8604:
pardon my ignorance... what was discovered about the CM7 themes?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Blue6IX:
In the general section, the post CM7 themes on bulletproof! sgtmedeiros got the CM7 themes on his device.

They aren't exactly working right, but dang close - i'm working on it right now, actually, seeing what I can come up with.

I just wanted to get those lockring mods finished and posted before I dove into it, but so far it looks like i'll be able to add more themes to the ROM beyond the default 5 + system without having to replace one.

I'll have to seed stuff throughout the ROM in different places to make it work, unless I can find a way to get around it - but I really want to get Bulletproof up to 15-20 themes that it comes with on a fresh distribution.

The discovery sgtmedeiros made is the beginning of realizing that goal.

Edit:

I'm going to put this down for the time being.

In order to do this right, it's going to take a larger investment of time then I feel is worth it at the moment. Due to my anal attention to detail, falling into this will derail me from progress on the ROM for more then a few days, and I really:

- Hate graphics work ( in case anyone didn't pick up on that yet )

- Have other things to do under the hood before I work on a paint job or flashy rims.

The MT4GS forums needs someone to step up and put some time in to working on themes - there are some good repos out there with some fantastic templates to get started with if anyone is interested.

I am going to swing my attention back to the coding aspect that I enjoy doing - hopefully someone will start posting progress in the Themes & Apps section for work into Sense themes. Bulletproof and other Sense ROMs will benefit from this.

Really, though, this is going to take up too much of the time I am running out of. By the second week in January I won't have much time to be here because all the free time I have to devote to these projects is going to evaporate underneath of me.

I need to make sure this ROM is up to stable 2.0+ running and get some kernel work in. If i'm not halfway home on overclock by new years it's gonna get real sketchy to be able to have something workable for public consumption.

I have maybe 20 days left and I have to start spending my time as judiciously as possible. I'll still support this ROM - but I won't be answering questions and solving problems within an hour or so of them popping up...looking at me checking in once a day or every other.

I just spent about 6 hours of the 500-600 I have left and have basically nothing to show for it. Being generous and saying another 50 of them get spent on sleep, i'm looking at 450-550 hours remaining...and my Lady is going to claim some unknown number of those too.

Function over form - themes can wait unless someone else wants to pick up the torch and start working in that direction. I've put some graphics tutorials in the Themes & Apps section - a search over XDA will fill in the blanks for what someone needs to start making workable themes for Sense ROMs.

Feature Requests...

Blue I'm having a great time with 1.1 - great stuff dude.

I've been brainstorming & would really like to see the below features supported by your ROM ( I believe the majority of the below requires Kernel edits... so something for you to wet your appetite maybe.)

a]

2way voice call recording

"avs333" enabled two-way call recording directly from the phone line on HTC Desire (market apps unfortunately do not use the internall phone line, so the other persons voice is recorded via our mic, which is crappy & undesirable.)

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=993793

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1010086

This would be an excellent feature to have on our device.

Two features in sleep mode:

b]

One touch dictaphone record from sleep mode - led notifying recording. Possibly hold press on home button or something?

c]

Secondly, hold press on volume rocker - moves to the next/previous track (when music is playing.) - this is a feature I've used from cyanogen days, found it so useful - being able to change tracks without coming out of sleep mode - such a rich feature!!

http://forums.miuiandroid.com/showthread.php?7356-MOD-Skip-track-via-volume-press

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1211296

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.tournesol.rockingshortcuts&feature=search_result

Hope this is something you find appropriate - I just believe these to be very rich features & so desirable.

Also...

Maybe it be nice then to have soft press of our hardware 'genius button' to open up this nice 'QuickLookup app' - just a suggestion, but maybe ties it all together and re-enables our hardware button to do something useful ;)

I love thinking out of the box :)

I've added some Wu Tang Clan LockRings (maybe they need some work to clean them up, I was just testing your tutorial, very simple dude.)

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=20363347&postcount=4

(Alpha & Ring Sizes I think need to be tweaked, I may have overlooked the Ring heights - hence they maybe a little too short.)

Keep up the good work Blue
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Blue6IX:
dillalade, I like where your head is at.

I also appreciate you sourcing references to give me a place to start for seeing what some of that would take to do.

I actually just downloaded Paul's Desire base ROM apps just a few hours ago - i'm trying to get every single HTC widget ever released and make them available.

All of ours (including the downloadable 'get more' widgets) i've already uploaded to my filehost to make available in the widgets category of Bloater I spent the morning scripting up.

( No I didn't push the changes yet - later on I will. )

I managed to collect quite a few more HTC widgets that we don't have, and i've been sorting through them to see what ones work for us and not.

Since I have all the Desire apps sitting right here on my PC - i'll look up the two-way recording tweak to see what the deal is, having the base I probably need to experiment with already is a happy coincidence.

No promises anytime soon - I do still have a bunch of stuff already listed to work through on the ROM, but we can certainly look to some of these things for future changes.

When I get to audio stuff, it'll be good to have all the audio ideas sitting here ahead of time so I can focus all on one area at a time.

I'm torn about the suggestion for re-mapping the SEARCH press to another app - I have a feeling that would deprive people who are used to the google search app from being able to use it.

As it stands, even without the google app you can still use it for the hardware shortcut keys - but i'll toy with this idea and see how it works out. I don't generally use the shortcut to get to search like that so preserving the experience people are used to the way it is now might end up being the right answer.

...Can't hurt to look though, and then maybe I can show people how to remap it to some other app of their choosing.

Thanks for the suggestions, and glad to see someone taking advantage of the tutorials and adding some fun stuff for people to play with!
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] dillalade:
No probs, I wanted you to see my vision, so the links were needed for someone like yourself, knowledge is the forefront.

Showing us how to remap the genius button to an app probably a better direction (preserving for the majority the traditional soft press/bloater search facility.)
