Referring to

:D

But to be honest I haven't even had a look into that to find out... Will do so later - first the UI stuff...

Regarding that I'm not yet satisfied: Out of the 4 theme chooser themes I've had left ("system", "elegant steel", "elegant steel super circle" and "nexus matte" - which I think you know almost all) only "elegant steel" does help a bit - everything else doesn't work out - especially with the Gmail buttons - it's still far from what I could live with (see attached screenshot). No idea about this (especially that even the standard CM7 theme has this probs). I'll have to dig more into that I guess (and learn a bit more about theming LOL)

What I've also noticed: if you hide the status bar by long press menu it acts a bit glitchy (in Gmail, haven't checked other apps yet) - takes some time or further action to resize the screen... (not a big thing but I got used to it somehow with a few apps).

Regarding stripping out apps I'll do that with caution of course. It's not as dangerous as deactivating Windows services - what can really be a pain and lead into serious problems (because recovery doesn't help there - you could only do a full image (like a nandroid) but that will end up in a time consuming procedure LOL (and you probably have to buy a few more hard discs).

Still a bit confused mate, regarding my apks i have pim and phone apks no sign of contacts or message in system apps.

I can read the text in your screen shot fine!! Im gonna download gmail and see if i can see what your meaning?

I have no themes lewa or themechooser installed just the systemui included! Or did i mod one? Not sure now lol. When i get access to my pc i will send some stuff for to you to try/compare :)

Forum fishing.... Who's biting!
[Wildfire Android Development] Slymobi:
Ok tested gmail and the mail text is fine to read, however my option buttons in app are faded like yours too. 1st time ive noticed this lol.

Forum fishing.... Who's biting!
[Wildfire Android Development] eventcom:
LOL it's me who is confusing things - when I said I flashed it just over that's for the data of course - not system. That one I've been missing while fiddling with that unknown stuff here. Sorry if it confused you...

I'm talking about the buttons - that's a bit better on the screenshot than in reality (you should know) - now it's dark - imagine you're outside in the sun...

Furthermore without using that theme (I don't really want that one as it's a bit heavy weighted for us memory junkies) I've not only problems with the light buttons - with other themes (including the standard CM7) the dark LeWa buttons (e.g. for settings) have the opposite problem (can't make a screenshot).

much appreciated - for the moment I can live with "elegant steel" - at least it looks good LOL
[Wildfire Android Development] eventcom:
Turns out I'm facing a more serious issue I've ignored a bit yesterday because I kinda heavily "worked" with the phone: battery drains way too fast :eek:

I'm at 60% now - has been at 67 when I woke up after around 7 hours idle... (fully charged before I went to sleep).

I only had a short look at it but have been too tired -first thing was to kill (not yet deleted) that power saving service which seemed to be the only difference to the previous setup.

Any ideas about that? Battery usage stats say "display" is the sucker -but I've been sleeping most of the time lol.

Swyped from my HTC Wildfire (Buzz)
[Wildfire Android Development] Slymobi:
Battery ok for me, thats the reason ive stuck with this rom. Get your autostarts set up, give the rom a couple of discharge/full charge cycles and it should balance out. i dont bother with the power saver either.

Forum fishing.... Who's biting!
[Wildfire Android Development] eventcom:
Me too - never had an issue like this (oh well I've tried a few themes with a high potential of danger for eye cancer - but none made app or system buttons barely readable). I've had a look at a few important apps - turns out Timesheet has the same probs (with the buttons of the entry/edit dialogue) while Todo-txt-touch doesn't. Still finding it a bit strange (luckily it's not just me :silly:)

ok thanks - I'll just let it run for a while and keep an eye on it. Don't have an idea what should be a battery drainer anyway because my autostarts are already set up agressive :D

I'll go on with cleaning the system stuff, guess this will take a while anyway LOL

Regarding the power saver I'm a bit undecided. CM7 did a very good job before and I hate it to have an app deactivate things like Wifi or mobile data hm. Anyway system is down to 119MB already without taking out serious stuff lol. No need to cut it to the edge I guess (well don't know if I can resist though :D)
[Wildfire Android Development] Slymobi:
My other menus text are fine, just a couple of app text faded.

Forum fishing.... Who's biting!
[Wildfire Android Development] eventcom:
for the system menus: I either don't know all the tricks or I have to get myself a better screenshot app than the CM7 standard...:( for the apps buttons see attachments
[Wildfire Android Development] crazy.girl:
great rom i tried alot of roms but always back to lewa ..but there is a small problem which is the # in dialer i need it always and i have to use another dialer but really it confuses and bothers me..why this can't be fixed..
[Wildfire Android Development] Slymobi:
Maybe its the actual apps drawable-res as its ok with certain ones and not others.

As for screenshots? I always use an app called Ascreenshot as it has better settings. Looking at my lewa i use the themechooser system theme and initally the default lewa but like i said no lewa launcher so lewa themes are obsolete to me.

Just had a thought regarding your battery drain! Did you have wifi on overnight? As default lewa is set to scan for new connections every 45 secs! This can be adjusted in system/buildprop with your esfile manager. Set it higher e.g 180 i use 300 then save via menu/save from esfile press back button to leave system/buildprop then when you go back to same path it will have buildprop and a buildprop backup file, delete the backup version and then reboot to set changes. Also location/auto refresh settings can cause heavy battery drain if not configured.

[Wildfire Android Development] lo2ay:
You can use go dialer as a replacement ;)
[Wildfire Android Development] Slymobi:
Yeah but...... Shouldnt have to lol. ;)

[Wildfire Android Development] eventcom:
if you wouldn't have the same prob with Gmail I'd have thought it could be ADW perhaps. Regarding the system menus everything seems to be fine now when switching to the theme chooser standard theme :confused: probably some tweaks were overwritten I can't say (or the problems resulted out of me testing LeWa themes).

If it wasn't Gmail (which is almost a native Android app) I'd think it isn't properly made by the devs. I'll try to ask the dev of Timesheet (a German) - perhaps he can explain (or even fix).

ha - tip of the month - thanks (guess I have to update my list again LOL). The only thing I'm missing with aScreenshot is the option for direct share :D (which CM7 app has) or I just haven't found it yet...

yes that's what I do, too - but doesn't that take up RAM or space, too? (if I accidentially kill ADW by pressing back too long the LeWa theme comes back - so I suppose it resides in RAM all the time or not?

ha ha - that might be the cause, yes - I'll give it a try at least. As you know for sure CM pretty much cares itself for that stuff (at least if you use moderate settings and include at least some energy saving setting...) so I didn't care much about those things. Furthermore I've used 176mHz as low processor frequency for a long time which switched the phone into a fake-death-mode almost LOL. I've changed that (you might remember) because I had problems with incoming calls sometimes (it took a while until the phone responded from deep sleep mode LOL).

Thanks for the hint - couldn't harm anything to adjust those values at least.

But like you already mentioned this morning it might take a few charging cycles to get balanced - had the feeling it already has been a bit better after recharging today ;)

Too sad (you won't believe I guess): I've been running out of thanks already around 8am LOL

P.S.: now that I can do better screenshots I had to attach a few LOL
[Wildfire Android Development] Slymobi:
Ok here we go, 1. you can delete lewa launcher from system app if not going to use which will eliminate the back button issue and free ram/nemory as it wont be there.

2. And i always lock launcher in memory. To do this on lewa you need to long press on empty part of screen as to create a widget but choose shortcut instead, choose cm7 shortcut then choose the performance option which will create a cm7 icon on screen, open it then scroll down to lock launcher in memory and enable it. I do message lock too.

Arghhhh im jeleous now! I cant get minimal ring to work on mine :mad:

HTC wildfire: LeWaOs
[Wildfire Android Development] eventcom:
very nice - good idea - the only thing: launcher has already been locked in memory :D The funny thing about that is, AFAIK this isn't CM default - but I can't remember having done this in the past (especially since that lovely V6 Supercharger script conflicts with that setting). Scary.

Now that I have around 35MB free in my system partition (of 150) I should think about what apps to put in there LOL (Oh, and I'm quite sure that there's even more to kick out...)

probably this helps :silly:

sorry mate just kidding :o - but I'd guess you have already noticed it's WL (not LeWa's)?
[Wildfire Android Development] crazy.girl:
what a help :D i already said i'm using another dialer which is miui dialer but that does not fix the problem..if you can fix it then work on it ..it's not a small problem.
[Wildfire Android Development] eventcom:
much better already, if it was either the scan intervals or just patience (I believe both) I've been @ 96% this morning (after around 10 hrs plugged off) not bad :D tnx again for pointing at this.

you should know that I'm a bit lazy: where do I find those? :D

Swyped from my HTC Wildfire (Buzz)
[Wildfire Android Development] Slymobi:
Your welcome.

Menu, settings, personal tab, accounts and sync for background and auto sync. Location and security for gps and wireless stuff.

Both these can be battery hoggers but are also needed for certain apps to refresh.

Forum fishing.... Who's biting!
[Wildfire Android Development] eventcom:
Now that everything seems to run fine I can waste a bit time on the cosmetics...

1) Due to the fact that I have flashed v13 and v13 update but still seeing day & time merged in status bar I guess that one hasn't been included?:

2) I've noticed that a few (a lot of) ppl use setcpu to adjust the screen off settings at least - what settings do you use? Because I just have the feeling my battery drained faster when using it LOL

3) any useful hints for translating ROMs? (nah, I just want to have a look - I'm not sure if I really want to do this - at least if not more ppl are using this port)
[Wildfire Android Development] Slymobi:
Have you tried the mod zip sam made?im not sure it will still work as it may be from the cm7 rc base version and v13 is cm7 stable!! Flash it (no wipes) reboot, if status bar has gone then flash my undo zip (no wipes) reboot and then flash the sam zip again as before.

Get a nandroid done, just in case this goes pear shaped lol.

If i use setcpu i would always have my screen off profile set at the same value as my min normal value.

Lo2ay might have a language pack for you? Or elia? As elia has mentioned a multi langauge port.

Edit... Just flashed Sams date fix mod and it flashed 1st attempt :)

Say oooh la la
[Wildfire Android Development] eventcom:
I'll give it a try

you mean: min & max the normal min value?

ok, I'll see. I also stumbled over "B.A.R.T. - BurgerZ Android ROM Translator".

I believe it couldn't be a big thing as the LeWa port is CM7 based - and that's fully multilingual. I'll have a further look. Would be nice if someone could point me into the right direction.

Thx :D
[Wildfire Android Development] Slymobi:
Yes min/max same value as my min normal setting.

Say oooh la la
[Wildfire Android Development] elia222:
I'll try to put new languages in lewa framework, however i don't know if i will get it to work because the last time that i've tried to do this I just got bootloops :rolleyes:
[Wildfire Android Development] eventcom:
do you know of B.A.R.T. (I've posted above)? I've seen that the dev also has CM7 and LeWaOS in his github repos (but I guess Russian & stuff, not German)
[Wildfire Android Development] elia222:
Yes, i've seen it, however i think that with that tool i can translate only to russian (he doesn't have other strings in his github)
[Wildfire Android Development] eventcom:
I see - guess you have compiled CM7 files then. Since I don't have a clue how this is done I've not been aware of this. But if simply putting them in doesn't work - perhaps we could use stuff of the CM7 repo? (bare with me if that sounds silly)

---EDIT--- wanted to have a look myself but I'm lost in those 615 repos because I have no idea what I'm looking for LOL

---------- Post added at 02:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:25 PM ----------

Confirmed - still works. Great, thx.

---------- Post added at 02:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:27 PM ----------

investigating further it looks like a well treasured secret
[Wildfire Android Development] elia222:
Tried now but the phone bootloops -.-

I've decompiled framework-res.apk of lewa, added strings (values-* folders) from cm7 framework but doesn't work :rolleyes:
[Wildfire Android Development] eventcom:
I see. I'll have a look into B.A.R.T. again later. What I've seen until now is that it doesn't seem to be easy as all translations are done inside the apps. Probably I'll test it with one or two apps (when I find enough time). For the German language files: a lot of stuff seems to be available through the MIUI community (since I'm pretty sure all the core apps of CM7 are in there) but this would only make sense if LeWa won't fc also with this method :-/

--- EDIT --- You have tested with CM7 strings? Do you know if I can find those in the repo somewhere? I don't know where to look...
[Wildfire Android Development] eventcom:
I believe it's time to make some kind of statement after using this ROM for a few days now. I'm not really a long term Willy user but I think that I've already put a lot of effort into finding the setup that suites my needs and likes best regarding the ROM and apps. The most important things for me are speed & responsiveness, a clean UI, size and upgrade compatibility. That's why CM7 has been my favorite all the time.

The first time LeWa caught my eye has been when I noticed that slymobi was using it :D. I knew that he shares most of the things I'm after so - when I had some time to sort it all out (and finally solved my 3G reboot prob) I gave it a try. I can say that I've been impressed from the first time I booted it up and the more I play with it the more I like it (not only - but also - because there's no manual and I randomly discover new things). LeWa OS buzz is slim, stable, fast and has a clean UI. Like slymobi stated more than once before, the battery lasts markably longer - in my case compared with CM7 - so it looks like to be the perfect ROM for me (at least until a working stable 4.1.x hopefully some time in the future LOL).

Just wanted to give a feedback and encourage everyone to go on with the developement of this "perfect" Willy ROM.

Explicit thanks to Le Frog Technology, elia222 for porting it to our Willie, lo2ay for the rebase to the 7.2 stable, slymobi for testing, assisting & coaching (and convincing lo2ay to leave out the bloating and/or tweaking stuff :D) and all the others who helped to make this working like it does for now.

Conclusion: LeWa OS might not be as shiny, blinky or stylish like others but at least for me it has earned a star at the Willy boulevard - definitely.

There's still a bit work to do (especially regarding a working full version including all fixes) but I've already fallen in love :o

Now I can go on with asking stupid questions how to make my Willy even more fast and stable. Thanks again and keep up the good work on this ROM :good:
[Wildfire Android Development] ZoRaN85:
Hi guys can some one tell me how can I change the notification pull down menu with original CM7.2 ?:confused:
[Wildfire Android Development] Slymobi:
Bravo bravo :D:D

What an absolute pleasure to read.

You are a true gentleman and its been a great pleasure assisting you as much as i could.

The rom has turned out remarkable (albeit a few personal tweaks here and there) and ive tested near all available and lewaos has had me glued for the longest any rom has managed previously. I fell in love with this rom a while back, before i helped lo2ay with a few issues he was having but he has done good,credits to sam and saadislam too and i hope development continues strongly on this but even if not im really impressed with it as it stands.

Oh p.s i think my alarm issue is fixed :) still a mystery as to how, when or why lol.

Say oooh la la
[Wildfire Android Development] elia222:
Just decompile cm7 framework-res.apk, you will have all the values-(language) folders under /res with all the strings inside ;)
[Wildfire Android Development] eventcom:
Well, I should do something serious again, I guess... so, back to business: Because this is LeWa related in many aspects I'm going to post it here. After doing some tweaks here and there I'm almost happy with the setup besides a few little things.

1. after "cleaning" my system apps there are a few left overs from the LeWa OS and from CM or other ROMs as well I guess - just wanted to make sure that I am right what they are and exactly do:

- FM.apk - I guess that's the LeWa FM radio?

- LewaUpdater.apk - is this needed for anything?

- MiuiCamera.apk - there's also a Camera.apk - which one to use? both?

- MiuiGallery.apk - issues if I remove?

- Pacman.apk - Game?

- VisualizationWallpapers.apk - what is this exactly?

- SPM.apk - Power Saving Management?

- LewaPlayer.apk - music player?

- LatinIME_2.apk - something keyboard related - what exactly?

- LocationProvider.apk ?

- LewaPond.apk ?

- LabiSync.apk ?

- Intercept.apk - is this a call-by-call thing?

2. a) If I want to replace a system app with a different one - is it safe to simply put it into the zip or is there something else to do

b) so does the makefile in the zip mean anything for flashing the ROM - I guess not...?

c) Does the same apply if I simply want to add an app as system app?

Could someone please enlighten me a bit :confused:

P.S.: are there any chances to get the minimal ring lockscreen working? :D:D
[Wildfire Android Development] Lesicnik1:
Uh no... pacman.apk is the thing that pops up to ask you which Google Apps you want to install.

And from what I know the stock camera has some problems.
[Wildfire Android Development] eventcom:
lol ok :o

Since I flash GApps anyway I'd guess it's not really needed?

ist this the CM7 stock camera? And can it safely be removed?
[Wildfire Android Development] Lesicnik1:
I don't think it's as needed, but I'm not sure.

And yes, I'm talking about the CM7 camera. It has some issues IIRC. Not sure how safe it is to remove.
[Wildfire Android Development] eventcom:
seems that nobody answers. Don't know but probably because none of us wants the CM7 status bar back :D

And on a more serious note: I'm either not 100% sure what exactly you''re after. Do you mean the status bar only? The status bar itself shouldn't be different from CM7 (at least hasn't been when I flashed LeWa). You probably mean the notification area? :confused:
[Wildfire Android Development] ZoRaN85:
Thanks for reply,and yes just notification area,not the status bar with clock, is it possible to make black or grey?
[Wildfire Android Development] Slymobi:
1.

Fm keep it, its your fm radio.

LeWa updater, delete it as this rom is only a lewa port so will never get an ota update.

Keep both camera apks. I think 1 is for cam other for video!

Miui gallery is photo gallery, delete it if you want. Esfile can manage this instead.

Pacman keep it. Gapps related and other stuff too, cant remember.

Spm you can delete but i keep it even though i dont use it.

Lewa player is your music player so keep it.

Viz wallpapers are livewallper widgets safe to delete.

Latin ime are keyboards safe to delete so long as you have alternative installed,i use swift keyboard as you can set its size layout(small in portrait) for better view. Im sure there are 2 latin.ime? Might want to keep one just to be safe.

Location provider cant remember but keep.

Lewa pond, cant remember but delete.

Labisync is some kind of contacts sync, safe to delete it.

Intercept is used for blacklisting unwanted numbers/contacts, i keep it.

2.a- yes to most apks but some wont work so then need to be removed and installed normally. Its trial and error but most will be ok.

b. No idea

c. Same as (a) really. Its easier to set if you add to the zip pre flash but if you are asking post flash adding to system then again its trial and error-using esfile copy apk and paste into system app then long press on that app to open context menu and scroll down to properties, open and change permissions if needed to rw-r-r and a reboot after to implement changes. Deleting system apps will leave there files in data/data but they are nearly always empty files so its not necessary to delete them but im a bit ocd like this lol.

Mmmmm i think all bases covered i think! Hope it helps. Its been a long time since i researched all this stuff etc etc.

Say oooh la la
[Wildfire Android Development] Slymobi:
You can do it the hard way but i cant help with this really as its too much hassle for me.

Framework-res.apk and/or sytemui.apk have the files etc etc you need to change/decompile. If this was a sense rom boooom id do you any status/notification you wanted but i cant master cm7 lol. Now you can remove the notification power widgets if you wanted and then install a 3rd party substitute. As shown below?

Say oooh la la
[Wildfire Android Development] eventcom:
thanks mate, I like this one most

:D
[Wildfire Android Development] Slymobi:
See above post.

In a sense rom i would just copy framework-res.apk, rename to. Zip, extract, open res-drawables (not sure which folder its been a long time) and find notification background image (again not sure on exact name) use a image editor(paintshop/gimp) i use gimp, make an image how you desire but make sure you name it exactly the same as original, put your image back in the same place to overwrite original, then its a matter of rezipping it back up and renaming back to framework-res.apk and copy paste back to original path and confirm overwrite etc etc. This is a basic run through of how i do sense framework but doing this has never worked in cm7 for me for some reason! I think its something to do with systemui.apk!? Now scratch hopefully will step in here as this is his speciality :) but i cant work his method lol (sorry scratch i did try once).

[Wildfire Android Development] Scratch0805:
It's most likely in systemui.apk the easiest way to edit an image is with apk manager, Google is your friend here as I'm not gonna guide you how to set that up, it's a bit long winded to type on my phone. extract systemui.apk with apkmanager then edit change desired images and again use apkmanager to zip it back up then push it to your phone.

You mostly only need to decompile if your editing code.
