There is a file @ /system/customize/MNS/default.xml that handles the initial homescreen setups and a bunch of other first-boot stuff.

It's what let's me tell the system what and where to put the initial shortcuts, widgets and others & also let's me do fun stuff like set the stock browser to default to desktop view, which has already been done for 1.1

I also set the browser home page to this thread.

You can change these things after it loads at the user level, but for the first install it can all be under my control.

For the 1.0 release, I just left this and other files like it at the stock settings, because it was more of a full field-test of solving the issues with Bulletproof pre-1.0 then making it polished.

( that default.xml file will not execute without the HTCSetupWizard.apk )

Moving forward with Bulletproof means attending to details such as this, and in this case it's already long handled.

I think we'll end up with close to 60% of the graphics changes I've made over the last week and a half in 1.1, as some of the more esoteric things need to be hammered out some more. In my opinion it's not worth holding up the release over.

I'll be home in another 5-6 hours, and then I'm gonna sit down and sort out what's getting into 1.0 and write out a plan to implement the rest of the changes moving forward to 2.0

Gotta run for now, I'm looking forward to the fun tonights gonna bring.

I believe what richierich118 means is the option in the browser to hide the status bar at the top, so that the browser fills the entire screen..... this is an option in the stock CM7 browser, along with being able to invert the colors. These kinds of tweaks are always very welcomed, but perhaps not so easy to implement.... wish I knew how!
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Blue6IX:
I definitely remember seeing the status bar show/hide option override near the bottom of the default.xml file - and honestly, every square pixel of space on a mobile device screen is a premium asset.

When I get home and am not checking in from someone else's computer, i'll swap the value and set it so the status bar hides by default on the stock browser, and see how it goes. If I remember right you only had to hit the menu button to get it back again.

This concept is a good suggestion, and I like the idea - if all goes well then because of how simple this is (really, just changing a true/false value in the default.xml script) it'll be implemented in 1.1

I haven't seen a way to reset this, or don't see a way to change it on the phone in front of me unless i'm missing something, so this will just be how it is from here on out.

Since the stock browser is one of the Bloater options, removing and re-installing through Bloater will most likely reset to the default value of showing the status bar - so if people don't like this change it's easy to revert.

I'll definitely be making a new category in Bloater when I get the time to hold the Bulletproof specific apps that i've changed so people can get them back the way they came in the ROM.

That new Bloater category is also where i'll push my de-pinked stock apps from.

Right now focusing in rewinding some of my changes to make 1.1 stable and getting it out the door for you guys to play with is priority number one, after that my time will be spent on rocking out the 1.x updates that are mostly-finished thus far.

Probably not until we are nearing 2.0 will Bloater be updated with the new Bulletproof category, but once i've actually made the alterations it's a snap to add them in to Bloater - I just don't want to drop the progress that's clipping along so quickly on Bulletproof to update Bloater at the moment unless something bad happens with it.

For now things like Friendstream and such you add after the fact through Bloater to the ROM are the stock pink colored T-Mo versions you are (unfortunately) used to - but that'll change over time as time can be spared on it.

I wish I was in my dev station now, i'm chomping at the bit to wrap up this update and get it started on testing.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Blue6IX:
Okay - theory correct across the board for everyone.

Using the default.xml file to set the stock browser to default not showing the status bar works, you can get it back just by pressing the menu hardware button.

You can't use the pulldown menu without the status bar showing, but hitting menu to make it show re-enables the pulldown menu.

Thanks for the suggestion, I hadn't thought to do this and I really like this feature added to the ROM.

I'm back in my dev chair, and gonna spend the rest of the night sorting this all out and writing out a plan of action now that i've seen everything I wanna touch in the near future.

Thanks again for all of the input you guys are giving me, it's really helping to shape what Bulletproof will become.

Suggestions are always welcome, and i'll try to respond to them all to let you know if it's already done, already planned, something I think should be added, not feasable...etc... and try to give some other info concerning the suggestion if possible in case others may want to do it on their own.

But like this browser tweak that just found a home in the ROM, anythings possible.

No promises that anything suggested will ever make it into the ROM, or happen anytime soon - but it never hurts to ask.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Blue6IX:
Just saw that you changed up your post that I had responded to a bit to make the list ( which makes sense from the way it was written before ) and while i'm sitting here getting my head together let me take a second to hit this:

1 - That's the plan, I have no idea where i'll start the actual fix - but the first step is to conclusively get to the bottom of the international text message scandal. That's why the groups tab is still in the ROM but not working.

2 - Definitely working on this, meantime we have a workaround.

3 - Curious, I like it. Something i'll look into in the future, but off the table for the moment. If you could figure out what those other devices are and list them together in a post here in the thread, when I get around to this i'll have a place to start.

4 - Definitely working on this too - no workaround at the moment.

5 - I honestly don't know what this beats thing is I keep hearing about. Someone tried to explain it to me not long ago, but my head wasn't really into learning what it was it was just an offhand question I asked.

I do use the phone as my sole music device, in my car, in my home and while about, and it's become my primary method of watching video as well. (basically, everything an iPod touch wished it could be.)

Digital media/entertainment being one of my principle reasons for owning the device, this is something i'll look into if it makes sense, the fact that you mention it makes me at least a little curious.

If you or anyone else could take the time to write a thorough explanation of what Beats is in one post in the thread (so I don't have to piece it together across pages) that would be cool and i'd appreciate it.

Right now I have bigger fish to fry then Beats audio - but it's not off the table. Probably about the time the in-call recording thing gets looked into is when this will get looked into. (also keep me in an audio mindset, try to knock out all the similar stuff at once.)
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] richierich118:
Yes this is what i mean. I have seen it in other roms for other devices that i have owned but alot of the new ones noone bothers to do this. Thanks for any changes made to achieve this
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] ck_jun:
I was using this rom and the batt life was fantastic compared to stock and the other roms in this forum. But i noticed that when i setup my email accounts and started pulling mail, the batt life drains to almost 0 within half a day.

Checking the batt use shows no one app that sucks the juice, but the phone was awake for the half day.

I suspected that the mail app is keeping the phone awake and true enough after i removed my email accounts, the phone went to sleep when the screen is off and my batt life started to be normal once more.

Is the mail app keeping the phone awake? anyone has similar exp?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Blue6IX:
I am honestly not sure, I never used the app and have removed it from 1.1 - it can be re-obtained through Bloater, because I know some people use it. The only email app that comes in the 1.1 download itself is Gmail.

I could make an email account with some other service to test it at some point, who do you use for email? If it's a paid service I won't be able to test with your provider, the only email service I use is Gmail.

--------

Already done - thanks for the suggestion!

--------

I tried to upload the stable 1.1 test version last night, but the upload failed after 6 hours... i'm gonna need to go somewhere else to upload it. My 19k max/16.7k average upload speed is just not sufficient for this task.

Edit:

It's not like I don't have other options, just at quarter of two in the morning from my house was all that was available to me. My lady has a pretty quick connect at her house, and a few other people I know also have decent to insane net connections, so as people start getting home from work i'll see who's interested in letting me borrow their pipeline for a bit.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] loveisafix:
First of all thank you for you great work, Man! I love your custom rom!

I have a small question. Is it possible to enable AVCRP v. 1.3 here? CM7 has that feature, but I'm not sure 1. what libraries should be put, 2. will they fit into your custom rom.

If anybody except respective creator could reply me, thank you guys in advance!

[General Questions and Answers] shadowskorch:
I sorta want an answer from anyone who knows about Android architecture... elixir is an app that reports different specs in real time. I.e: cpu temp or ram usage. (For those that didn't know). I showed a friend and he says this stuff is kinda fishy since it can only focus on one core at a time, is it giving false info on dual core phones? How does it obtain info on the CPU temp too? I don't know what to do since I like using it and he just told me its a piece of crap...
[General Questions and Answers] Dark3n:
Well without seeing the apps code, you can't really tell how the app works.

I also don't understand what your friend means by "it can only focus on one core at a time". What does that have to do with reading out ram usage or temperatures?

The cpu temperature is somtimes not the real cpu temp, but the battery temp. Not all devices have temperature sensors on/in the cpu.
[General Questions and Answers] Ant38:
haha the elixir is samsung galaxy SII the battery life is very very good thanks samsung ^^
[General Questions and Answers] shadowskorch:
Dual core phones have two threads of data that they churn out and apparently its impossible for the app to read both simultaneously.
[General Questions and Answers] Dark3n:
Cpu Usage and Ram is probably read from files like '/proc/stat'.

I'm still confused about what your problem is with dual core devices.

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kristovaher:
I wish to order Prime whenever it comes out instead of having to wait until next year until it is launched in Europe. Do any sellers in US ship internationally? I have checked Amazon and BestBuy and GameStop, but none of them ship internationally.

This means both the amethyst gray and champagne versions and with a keyboard dock (either separately or 2-in-1).

Please post information here if you have it available

(There still doesn't seem to be XDA forum for Prime?)
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kumabjorn:
You also have the option of using a forwarder. They provide you with a US address and then re-ship the product to you for a fee. That fee is usually less than European customs fee so if they send it to you as a gift or sample you might very well come out ahead of the game.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kristovaher:
Can you recommend any? I do not know where to begin with a search, since it might be easy to fall into a scam of sorts.

If you do go down the route of buying a US Prime there is a thread on the UK kindle users forums (thread here) where they used (bundlebox) to have them delivered to the UK. Seemed expensive but for the guy in the above thread it worked a treat.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kumabjorn:
There are lots of them. for example:

US Global Mail

CTSI Logistics

Mail Forwarding

If you don't like any of these just do a Google search for "forward shipping"
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hedgegod:
I was thinking of buying Asus Transformer Prime form bhphotovideo.com, but 32Gb model with all shipping fees and taxes would cost 580 euros, when the same model plus dock from amazon.de is 599 euros.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Techno79:
Had a quick check and reckon it'll cost around an additional £110 to get it shipped to UK. This includes the import charges, VAT and BundleBox's admin fee. Assuming you get the tablet for $499 and it's only the tablet you ship over, then that comes to a total cost of around £430. I doubt the 32GB version in UK would be priced at more than £499 so in the very best case scenario, you'd be saving around £70. For the added hassle, delay and additional risk if there's any problems, it doesn't seem worth it but each to their own.

I think I'll get mine to come back with the next friend/colleague who comes back from the USA :D
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kristovaher:
I ordered from there simply because most signs point that US will get it sooner.

Skyrocket 2.3.6 Gingerbread Build​

Well well lookie what we have here. Thanks to mikeyinid and whoever else for getting the dump posted. I have completely hooked this **** up to work great on our phones. I haven't encountered any issues yet.

WHAT THE HELL DID YOU DO WHITEHAWK?

- Completely deodexed and zipaligned

- Includes OUR stock kernel (same one in Juggernaut)

- Fixed Wifi

- Fixed GPS

- Rooted with busybox

- Somewhat debloated (This is what was removed)

- Replaced AT&T bootup with stock Samsung

- Added init.d scripts for zipalign and set permissions

- Added some misc. build.prop tweaks and edits

- Added latest Market

- Enabled free TMO music in market

While I realize no "stock roms" are to be posted in the dev section, this isn't 100% stock. Modifications had to be made for it to work properly with our phones. Just sayin'.

**** YOU NEED TO KNOW *YES THAT MEANS READ ALL OF THIS!*

1 - There is no setup wizard even on a clean install.

2 - You need to enable "wireless networks" in GPS Settings (GPS WORKS!)

3 - You might find random AT&T **** scattered about. If you do please let me know

4 - Your BASEBAND will still read UVKID. The baseband is the modem, NOT the rom...

Installation Instructions

Same as every other rom you've flashed... but if you insist...

1. Download zip and place on sdcard

2. Boot into recovery and choose to flash zip

OPTIONAL - for a clean install perform a factory reset

3. Reboot

4. Wait a minimum of 10 minutes

5. Reboot

6. Enjoy!

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] OuncE718:
Yes you would have to do a full wipe because as of right now these are two different roms. Whitehawkx just released this rom for us to play with. He hasn't added his signature features. Its basically a stock rom.
