Looks like a great program.

I agree with OP. I'm looking for the same thing. Googling for info led me not many places but here.

A five minute video walking through a typical screen setup would be wonderful.

Or a post with one or two or ten pointers that everyone should know starting out with the launcher would also be great.

Whoever takes the time to do this will surely be met with extrinsic rewards in the form of many scincere thank-you votes, as well as intrinsic sense of accomplishment for a valuable contribution to our community.

A few of my 1000 questions:

1 - the picture thingy... is there a way to resize it so it displays the entire picture rather than scrolling portions of it?

2 - how do I add new screens on the side rather than building one long vertical screen?

3 - when I try to assign an application to a tile, they are not in alphabetical order.... can it be changed to alphabetical like the "App Drawer" on the right hand screen?

4 - How to change the size of my time panel. When I edit it, there is no option to change the size like on other panels.

I'll give one tip:

You can set the borders between tiles to zero for a very cool look, and more room for photos/icons.

Go to Settings/Themes/Tile Paddings -> 0pixels.

(I read that in the other thread and love the results)

Hi guys,

I'm a former i9100 owner and recent buyer of a Gnexus :victory:

I'm getting this new phone in 3 days , in the meanwhile i've done some research on XDA but there are some points which are still unclear to me.

I hope someone can help me out.

1) How can i change softkeys DPI? ( I mean how can i make them smaller so the screen for apps is bigger? )

1bis) How can i make the black bar transparent so the keys stay directly on wallpaper?

2) I've seen I can change softkeys and that's cool. Can i change also which buttons are displayed? ( for example i never use the right one, the open tasks manager ).

Thanks in advance!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Jubakuba:
1) Custom roms (most) have this option.

---If your rom does not have this option you can use This Guide (ignore the edits made in the video)

Instead navigate to \framework-res\res\values\dimens.xml

And edit these three lines:

<dimen name="navigation_bar_height">48.0dip</dimen>

<dimen name="navigation_bar_height_landscape">48.0dip</dimen>

<dimen name="navigation_bar_width">42.0dip</dimen>

To the height you'd prefer.

YOU NEED to be on a deodexed (all custom roms...any rom you flash.)

Personally, I take it down to 0.0 dip and use LMTPie instead.

1bis[lolwut]) Eh. There are some hackey little tweaks that a few are making...

Personally; I think you end up with too many bugs and it isn't worth it.

2)Yes, via custom roms.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zoneeee:
Ok thanks for the answer.

1) the link you posted for the guide doesnt work :cyclops:

2) on my i9100 i have a stock deodexed rom without samsung crap.

can you suggest me a good 4.2.1 for gnex clean and simple?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Jubakuba:
Lulz, sorry.

I made the url tag and forgot to link in.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1949442

I think most people who like a stock feel are using "Mmuzzy" builds.

I personally run the heavily modified AOKP.

Edit:

Also, as for your "customizing nav buttons" question...

This is definitely not a stock feature...so it wouldn't be in stock rooted.

AOKP and I'm sure others that are 4.2 based include the option.

There isn't a publicly available 4.2.1 build for AOKP, however. The team is working on mashing all of the features back in.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zoneeee:
Ok sorry for the dumb question but...how does AOPK roms behave on gnexus?

on my i9100 anything which is NOT based on stock (ie cyanogen) has a massive battery life penalty compared to stock-based. For example with my stock based+ custom kernel i can achieve around 35 hours with normal usage ( 1 hour call, whatsap and browser ) while on cyanogen i dont get such results.

This is why i take stock roms deodexed and work on them

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ragiut1:
Hello everyone

I installed AOKP and was running CF-BENCH, no OC or UV. The device got very hot it shut down and can no longer start it or charge, all i get is the LED flashing red.

I managed to get into Bootloader but once i remove the usb cable the device shuts off, i flashed factory image and re locked the bootloader to no avail. i think thermal throttling got over ridden somehow.

Has anyone recovered from this, or should i go RMA?

thnx

Update------

I tried everything, i even got the weird LG download mode. finally i plugged the device to the PC (PC was off) and went to sleep, when i woke up the LED no longer flashed red and the device was running normally.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pedro Peguero Jr.:
Ugh "thermal throttling"...

I hate that term and how people are really over doing it on it on this device.

If you followed the ROMS OP instructions one by one perfectly, I don't see how you ran into that issue.

If anything, let it cool down, give it a day, and see what happens.

[HTC One X] dj.dejan:
Recently got the OTA JB update for my One X, but honestly I'm not satisfied, so I have 2 possible options:

1. try custom JB ROM

2. downgrade to official ICS since it was a GREAT ROM: less bugs, SMOOTHER & BETTER BATTERY LIFE than official JB

Since there are tutorials for option 1 listed above, I need help for option number 2.

Thanx in advance! :)
[HTC One X] faiz02:
If you want to go back to ICS, you have to root your phone,, install cwm

and then restore the nandroid backup of official ICS..
[HTC One X] Seelendrache:
But will this work ?

When u install ota it will upgrade the Hboot doesn`t it ?
[HTC One X] faiz02:
yes but you can install ics on the latest hboot. Its not an issue.
[HTC One X] McDowski:
Well, that's not good to hear. I was actually thinking of going back to Sense, and was looking forward to the eventual upgrade to JB.

I wonder if battery life is just an issue with Jelly Bean itself? Because ever since I went from Sense 4.1 to CM10 (with JB) my battery life has become absolute garbage.

I was thinking it was largely due to CM10 being s**t but now I wonder if it's JB itself?
[HTC One X] aman360elite:
No

No it isnt as the ROM doesnt suppport the latest Hboot..That is why think before u jump the gun!
[HTC One X] scott62185:
Not true. If you're asking if you can go back to an ICS rom after updating your hboot to JB rom status, yes you can.

You cannot, however, downgrade your hboot once you upgrade it. That's why I don't personally recommend updating your hboot because, if you want to flash an AOSP rom after updating, you will have to use a special boot.img and even then apparently GPS won't work.

In summary (as it seems to me), you need to update your hboot in order to flash a Sense JB rom, but not to flash an AOSP JB rom. As a matter of fact, as stated above, you will be constrained with an upgraded hboot if you want to flash the AOSP JB roms with the newer hboot. But, flashing an ICS rom after updating hboot is no problem. Phew!

Damn, this phone is confusing!
[HTC One X] aman360elite:
Nah sir,He can flash JB sense ROMS but not ViperX AFAIK.Still i would suggest check with some expert too!
[HTC One X] scott62185:
I don't know a lot about this phone (pretty new to it and, wow, is it complex compared to my Nexus), but not only did I get it from an experienced source that you can indeed flash ICS roms on JB (updated) hboots, I have actually done it myself. I bought my phone off Craigslist, already rooted and running ARHD v15.0 (a JB Sense rom) and on 1.23 hboot. I didn't know what that meant at that the time, but after doing a lot of research and asking around (and despite a lot of conflicting opinions), I ascertained that I could flash an ICS rom on my updated hboot. Thus, I flashed Viper X and it worked fine.
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
Please do a nandroid backup and try the viper x. I have seen that viper x is compatible up to 1.31. Did not see a post anywhere that its not compatible with the 1.36 hboot. So please just try and post the result here.

Or who did see the post point me there :thumbup:
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
I did made up my mind. At the moment i really don't see why it should not boot, and i can't find a post that it will not boot on the 1.36. I say ... just give it a go , do it for xda-science :p
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
As far as i know all ics roms boot on the higher hboots.the only problem is with kernels , you can't use 2.17 based kernels on JB roms due to radio/network problems

You can't downgrade....that's true but it regards the hboot itself, and no ruu will work either. This has nothing to do with a custom rom

I hope that aman360elite can point me to his source of info.
[HTC One X] sheva_xan:
I have thought that we would be able to downgrade to ICS using official RUU, can't we?
[HTC One X] Lewiswatson99:
Not shore about that?!?

Hello,

I upgraded my hboot from 1.12 to 1.36. on hboot 1.12 i was on viperx 2.7.1 and then when i updated i could still use viperx 2.7.1 so as far as i am aware viperx still works on hboot 1.36. and i thought any ics rom works on 1.3 and above?
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
We can NOT downgrade the hboot with a ruu ! That's because our phones are still S-ON ! and yes you can run ics roms on the higher hboots but you need a stock nandroid backup for it !

Lightning Launcher is very nice, i also test it.

i use the ssLauncher and its very fast and smooth, i love the customizeing features ;)
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] Sunxperous:
Great suggestions!

Personally, I am loving Lightning Launcher. My apps drawer has been customised to show only icons, and I adore the ability to hide apps in a different page of the drawer as it makes the hidden apps accessible. I have edited my homescreen such that there seems to be a vertical dock on the right side of my screen. The RAM usage is awesomely low as well.

I doubt I will be switching to other launchers soon on my Milestone.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] teddyfresco:
Erovia and others, do you use these light launchers with swap enabled to free up the ram to this level?
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] Erovia:
Yes, I use 32MB swap with swappiness set to 15. (FuFu's script's default values, bigger swap can cause huge lags)
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] -FuFu-:
i use ssLauncher on CM7 and i have 66mb free ram in normale use... have 32mb swap, swappiness 15...

[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] Bruce Fraser:
I'm a noob, so thank-you in advance for your patience with me.

Do these launchers completely REPLACE the default Android home tool, or do they work ON TOP of it?

What I'm really getting at: will I have the maximum remaining memory if I don't use ANY of them?

Thanks again.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] Erovia:
In Android nearly anything is an app, even the launchers. If you have more than one installed you will be asked which one would you like to use as default. Only the actively used one is loaded to the memory and you can change back to the previous one anytime.

If you don't use any launcher....I don't know what you will be able to do. You will not have icons and app drawer so basically you can't start any other app. If you'd like to have the lightest launcher, I recommend you the Lightning Launcher.

HI .

As you know we have just 211 mb internal storage . And we can't install apps that are more than 50 or 60 MB . So how to solve it ?

Here's a trick . But your phone should be rooted . just ROOT .

First download the app and put it in your SD . Now use an expert file manager like ROOT EXPORER .

Now from top-right choose mount your internal . Now copy the app in Data/app folder .

Results is here . app installed . If not reboot Your phone then it'll be OK .

Just pushing the app in data/app won't work when the app uses external libs. Better to move apps using the native method, an ext partition or Link2SD.

Hi guys,

It seems I have no clue what I'm doing and am very desparate (almost threw phone out the window).

Right now I have CWM recovery but no zip on the card. The phone won't boot any further so I can't upload anything to the SD card. I used this guide as a tip from another forum member > http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1975140&highlight=clockworkmod+recovery

But I do not understand the guide. It does not tell me how I should get a nandroid backup onto the phone, it merely tells me to put the backup on the sd card and use cwm to install it. It also constantly refers to .zip backup files while the nandroid comes in .rar and .tar. So I'm probably missing something, but i've been at it for hours and the more time I spend on this the more lost I get.

Can anybody tell me how I can install a rom through cwm without being able to boot into anything but cwm or flashboot? And if you would be so kind, please explain it to me step by step.. all the guides have thrown me into mazes I can't get out of... :(

mate mount the sd card. there is an option in cwm to mount sd card.

then tranfer the rom.zip to the sd card

take boot.img from rom.zip and put it in fastboot folder.

now install the rom through cwm

boot into fastboot and flash the boot.img

erase cache

your phone should boot fine.
[HTC One X] SidDev:
1. Download the latest official CWM recovery: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1594819 and extract it.

2. Connect your phone to your computer, hold the power+volume down button for 10 seconds. Go to fastboot. Open a cmd windows to the path where your recovery file is. Flash the recovery by typing "fastboot flash recovery <name of recovery file>"

3. Download the ROM you want to flash and extract the boot image from the RAR file. Also, place the ROM on the root of your SD card. Open up a cmd window where you extracted the boot image, and then flash it by typing "fastboot flash boot boot.img"

4. Hit hboot. And then hit recovery. You will now go to CWM.

5. Wipe data partition, wipe cache partition and go to advanced and wipe Dalvik cache.

6. Choose install zip from SD card, choose zip from SD card.

7. Choose the RAR file of the ROM.

8. When it flashes it, reboot system. And you're done :)
