[myTouch 3G Slide General] DocHoliday77:
Edit: Volume Stepping Mod fixed! More Mods Added!! See second post for new Mods.

Hello, my name is Doc....and I am a recovering lurker!

First post ever here! (Would that be Step 2 or 3 in the recovery program???)

Anyhow, I have been lurking around XDA for quite some time now, mostly just absorbing A LOT of fantastic information, and although it is not much I thought it was time I shared back!

Please keep in mind, that I can offer no promise of support. (These are mods I did for myself and figured others may appreciate them.) The main reason I have never participated here before is time, as in I don't have much of it! (Single Dad, 2 jobs, and all that jazz) I will do my best to help out (and keep contributing), but there will often be periods of time where I simply will not be around to respond. I am not trying to be an ass, just honest and up front. If there are any issues with what I share, I don't want people getting angry because the OP wasn't around to fix his stuff!

I have been using these for a few weeks now and have had no real problems, so I am fairly confident that they should work for the rest of you. Once I reach my 10 post limit I will move these into the Development section since it seems that very few people even vist these other areas anymore. I will also post links to the original threads where I got the mods.

If any of these have already been done for our phones please let me know. And of course, if anyone knows of a better way, or has any ideas, please do share!

Link to downloads are at bottom of post.

Remember, these are for STOCK FROYO!

NANDROID, NANDROID, NANDROID!!!

Remap Faves button to Settings

(Rosie.apk) -(Thanks/Credit to the1wingedangel)-

I know there are quite a few of these already out there, but have not seen one made to go into Settings. I find I use it quite often and it has been very convenient for me. Hopefully someone else may find it usefull as well.

Smooth Spinners

(Framework-res.apk) -(Thanks/Credit to D.O.C)-

This is simple eye-candy, but I like it a lot! It does what it implies...Smooths out the rotation of the spinning circles displayed while loading.

(NOTE: This mod is in Framework-res.apk, so if you are themed, you may not want to flash this) (I will post the modded smali files later on so you can do a simple copy paste and keep your themes intact)

Volume Stepping Increase and Smooth Scroll

(Framework.jar) -(Thanks/Credit to AndroidON)-

The Smooth Scroll portion of this will disable ScrollingCache for the whole system. Apparently it was not implemented as well as it should have been and I find my Slide really likes having it disabled. (i.e. Under Settings > Applications > Manage Apps - when scrolling through the list of apps, it is very very smooth! No more skipping or hesitating!)

The volume portion will not increase the max volume of your Slide, but will allow finer control over the volume. It changes:

Media, Bluetooth and TTS from 15 to 30 volume steps;

Ringtone from 7 to 15 volume steps;

Voice Call from 5 to 10 volume steps. (I am uncertain what this changed, as in-call and speakerphone volume remains unchanged. I assume this may be overridden by another setting or it is not applicable to the custom ROM I am using. If anyone knows more about this, please share your knowledge!)

Thanks to everyone here at XDA!

ENJOY!
