[Miscellaneous Android Development] NAZUnlimited:
nice to see that someone is making stuff for our phone. like tuono once said, "i was starting to feel a little lonely here" :)

if u are using the ones from u8150, its normal they work good with vicky. like most roms made from cyanogen sources for huawei phones (u81xx/u82xx/u85xx/u88xx/m86x, etc), they all use the official u8150 code and part of vicky's code is also based on those sources, the rest is based on samsung.

about auto-brightness, u replaced the cmparts.apk. the "bug" is on that apk. its not an error in the code but something else interfering with the openning of that setting. i've tried the lux app and it proved me that auto brightness is working. activating the brightness icon (not the app in drawer but the toogle like the wifi, bt) in the toolbar (systemui.apk) and then pressing it until it reach auto, showed that too. i wasnt much concerned with that because i think it works backwards, when in sunlight it reduces the brightness and in darkness is the opposite, it burned my eyes when i used (i have photo-sensitivity <- i think thats the right name in english for that) and u8300 display is hard to see with sunlight and low brightness. but everyone is free to use what they see fit to it.

about performance, u are right. most performance increased is an illusion and its not. i did a couple of tests before i succumbed to the urge to change the stock looks (lol. i was forced by u know who :rolleyes:). i tested with stock look, mod look and stock look with a theme applied (using theme chooser). the results were pretty much the same but only modded looks got allways higher scores. most definitely because most pngs are smaller in kb than the ones from sources and the ones in the theme apk, that size makes all the framework (i'm not just talking about framework-res.apk here but all that is loaded for the display view) to occupy less in memory therefore granting more performance. but all that is if using vicky's apps, generated from vicky's mixed sources. now the reason that u have or appear to have an increased performance is because u replaced most system apps except the jar files. most of them dont make a difference but systemui, settings, cmparts and frameworks-res make. a quicky way to explain is if u think those apps as computer hardware and programs that run at windows start. if u disable some hardware and block some services and programs to start at boot, u will notice an increased performance in the pc, that is what u did. by replacing those apps u disabled some "instructions", since they wont run, more performance. just like when i crashed the network settings and freed a lot of ram. the jar files in frameworks folder use those instructions to make run some stuff like the 1% battery. stock only has 10% battery indicator.

i hope i explained myself well. its 6h in the morning here and i dont sleep for almost 34h. :eek: and i have to feed Vicky (btw, Vicky is the cat)

i am a bit curious about some things. why the rom manager and cmwallpapers conflict? those apps are universal. (cmscreenshot, u did have to replaced it, its universal, same code for every gb rom)

about the looks, i am making it a theme chooser app. it will make more easier for me to do the needed stuff in system apps without having to concern about the looks and the ones that dont want that look can easily change it or delete.

other thing, battery seems mor stable now. heres a screenie
