[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Blue6IX:
You know, it's funny you should mention that. I've been toying with the idea, and looking at how the different Rosie mods people have figured out around XDA work out on this ROM.

The clear app drawer background is a no-go for sure, because not only does it get confusing but forcing the device to draw the home screens through the app drawer adds load to the device, kind of the opposite of the way i'm trying to go with the ROM.

I really want to make the app drawer not have those aggravating pages so you have to keep scrolling to go down the list. I'd rather just flick once and have it go as far as I want or all the way from top to bottom in the app drawer. Currently implementing that is where i'm at with Rosie right now. It's hard to sit down and puzzle it out with enough time and a clear head but i'm chipping away at it.

I have the whole Rosie.apk for this ROM decompiled and burned to a disc (well, all the apps and jar files actually, but not important at the moment) so I always have a clean copy already decompiled I can pull from, saves time that I have precious little of.

I kinda like having the black boxes behind the app icons on the home pages, it looks good with the Sense widgets - they all fit together nice. Thing is though, I think it puts more load on the system to draw them then to alpha blend them. I've already isolated that change and have two Rosie.apk files ready to test, one with and one without, so give me a few days to play with it and see how it is.

It's been too damn long since i've released an update for this ROM. I've been a lot busier then I expected to be, don't even get to see my lady but once a week if i'm lucky because of our schedules, but I am making progress on this and that here and there - this happens to be one of the things i've been poking at.

I also want to pull the wifi calling app, and figure out how to work that so people can still have it if they want it.

Tomorrow (tonight?) i'll get a few hours of late night dev time (prolly be in the clear to start around midnight and go until sunrise, that's a big enough chunk to make progress on something)

I want to spend that time looking into the sound issue first. Daswerk gave me a line on something that might shortcut a temp/permanent increase in volume level so i'm going to run with what people are giving me and try to tackle the biggest things I can in the blocks of time I get. Little blocks are things like Rosie mods, changes to Roman's tweaks app i'd like to make.

I also want to add the flashlight app to the long-press search button(genius button) menu for anyone who still has that remapped to search with the custom layouts (or default Bulletproof layout). That's a 5 minute fix - or should be, but when I made the proper edit I lost the .apk file in the app drawer so something wasn't right and I didn't have enough time to find out why when I did.

The video encoding/hardware video out issue i've been spending most of my time on recently is just a huge amount of testing, testing and more testing of the same video in every conceivable way it could be encoded for resolutions, bitrate, audio frequencies, etc... so that's just an ongoing project until it's done. Someone has taken pity on me and is helping me work through it so hopefully sometime not too far from now we'll have some conclusive answers to why video out to tv is screwy.

I still think the time spent on getting the test data I have so far for the video stuff was the best way I could have spent the time that was invested in it. At the very least there is posted data in the thread about it and I have a good idea of just how time consuming the rest of the project will be, as well as a spreadsheet sketched out on my dry erase board to give me a picture of how to lay the data out. Sometimes the biggest strides in a test regimen are figuring out how to run the test itself, and now that that's worked out it's just a matter of doing as time allows.

Yea, I should be working on something right now instead of sitting around typing this out but i'm trying to get ahead of my paperwork for tomorrow so I do get the solid block of dev time 18 or so hours from now instead of having to do this then. I'm still up and I have to start getting ready to leave in an hour so trying to sleep is pointless.

I've got it seeded in a handful of threads, but they've gotten buried over time. I'll add it to my guides thread that has the link in my sig, that's kind of my catch-all for random stuff, so seems like a good place to put it until I put it somewhere else too - it's a tiny file so attaching it to a post is fine for now. I ran out of room in my sig for all the guides i've written so far, so I made a thread to link to them all a while ago. That's where the 'guide index' link in my sig goes to.

Eventually i'll move it to my host and just drop links to it. Trying to connect to my host right now is difficult - if you only knew how long it takes to load individual threads right now... this is the worst time of the day for me to try to be on the internet, and it's freakin' 3 a.m. - I don't understand lol.

There are actually 3 of them - one clears /cache /data and /system, one clears /cache and /data and the last one clears /cache and /data/dalvik-cache. I'll drop all 3 on the guides thread in a few minutes when my net connection allows me to.

Edit:

Okay, got them up - here is the link for people who are on tapatalk/xda premium and don't see sigs.
