Green Hero Eclair Theme "Beautiful Widgets"

Hey all!

A while back i posted that i wanted to change the "Beautiful Widgets" on the Green Hero Eclair Theme. This is the fix figured out thanks to the fine people here at XDA. Its basically the fix used for the maps when the new version with navigation was released for 1.6. To get ready you'll need to back-up the current version of Beautiful Widgets, 2.86 is the one right now. I did this using Astro file manager. After that go into /sdcard/backups/apps/ and copy com.levelup.beautifulwidgets.apk. Paste the copy into root of your sdcard (These steps were also done using Astro). Using terminal emulator enter in this code.

$su
#mount /system -o remount,rw
#rm /system/app/Beautiful-Widgets-greenv2.0.apk
#cp sd/card/com.levelup.beautifulwidgets.apk /system/app/com.levelup.beautifulwidgets.apk

And TA-DAAAA!! Now yous gots Beautiful Widgets with skin support. aka the latest version. Thanks again to everyone that helped me figure this out. And thank you Cyanogen for all the bad-ass work you've done

have you tried fasttest 2.8 lite with wg kernel3?
[G1 Android Development] PJcastaldo:
Guess no update today...:( thats cool im sure we will see somthing nice soon enough.:D
[G1 Android Development] djdarkknight96:
Hmmmm, going to test it out. Thanks!
[G1 Android Development] Infinite76:
No not yet. do you recommend it? i am game to explore.
[G1 Android Development] Coderedpl:
Damn, as soon as I hear about some news of a new rom i just get impatient :(
[G1 Android Development] philosophics:
Ya well, at least we know that there is an update. We just have to wait till he finishes testing everything. Which probably means that we'll have some extra frosting on our donut...

Smart Alarm Clock

Searched in the thread but not found; sorry if is not CM related:

Any one has experienced problems with Smart Alarm Clock http://www.androlib.com/android.application.com-kosenkov-alarmclock-xwwn.aspx?

Suddenly has started announcing "This phone cannot record movements while the screen is off", even after a wipe.

Any idea?

Sorry for my english and TIA.
[G1 Android Development] Terrandroid:
Yes, i think this is a good question for the: Apps and Games section ;)
[G1 Android Development] ishb3w:
I am having problems with Long Pressing in this rom. If I so much as barely touch the screen, it acts as if I clicked atleast 3 times. Thus making it impossible to Long Press on anything. For instance if I open the calculator and hold my finger down on the number 2, it will repeatedly press the number 2 and fill the screen. It doesnt do this all the time. Sometimes I can boot the phone and it will work fine, then all of a sudden start screwing up. Sometimes reboots and powerdowns dont fix the problem, its very intermittent. Any help is greatly appreciated.
[G1 Android Development] heyyyitsjordan:
swype anyone?

cyanogen: is there a way to add swype to the new rom?
[G1 Android Development] heyyyitsjordan:
+1 i have the same problem with texts. i notice this happens when the phone starts to lag. it takes a minute or two to get the phone working fine.
[G1 Android Development] mrkumquat:
swype beta wouldn't work on my g1 but I tried out shapewriter and it's worked excellently for me if you're looking for an alternative

Note you have to follow the directions (from the 1st article) with regard to the settings
[G1 Android Development] ishb3w:
mine doesnt seem to want to fix itself though. its very frustrating, i cant pause videos, i cant browse without opening something i didnt want to open, i cant scroll using my finger, it opens things. is anyone else experiencing this, and do you know of a fix?
[G1 Android Development] heyyyitsjordan:
i reboot at least once a day. i also have keep home screen in memory in spare parts (idk if this helps or not). you could also try haptic feedback. ive heard some stuff about swap and swappiness... but idk what all that noise is about... lol
[G1 Android Development] Terrandroid:
I got this fixed by doing a full wipe, and then installing

the Htc base rom then latest cyanogen.
[G1 Android Development] heyyyitsjordan:
overkill... all you would need to do is wipe. the htc base and the lastest cyan is already installed even after the wipe.

also, i think cyanogen put the reboot option in for a reason... reboot the phone at least once a day.

AND since you're using amon ra's recovery, you could get by with wiping everything EXCEPT ext

AND you could also try the 10mb ram hack
[G1 Android Development] HaloTechnology:
is cyan ever gonnna release Ecliar Rom buz if not iam switching to some ecliar rom ( anyone recommend one )
[G1 Android Development] ishb3w:
i keep home in memory already, but i freaking hate haptic feedback. what have you heard about swap and swappiness because i have that installed, maybe thats the problem?
[G1 Android Development] heyyyitsjordan:
he's said it over and over. he's not gonna release a rom that doesnt work. if you look at all the other eclair roms, something doesnt work. most notably the gallery, the camera, the camcorder, bluetooth, wifi, etc.

so whats the point? what does eclair have that you cant get on this rom? live wallpapers? big whoop. multitouch? check the browser. flash? theres something called a computer for that.

he's posted on twitter he's testing 4.2.15 so i'd wait for that. its not eclair but at least its something.

for me personally, i think the eclair hype is overrated. remember, we're still talking about cellPHONES. as long as the phone does what its designed to do, don't mess with it. what the point of having all these features if an eclair rom doesnt make them work?
[G1 Android Development] tnpapadakos:
someday, when htc releases the video drivers and he can release a full, working mod, he has said (many times) that he will

i have had to ask myself "why do i really want eclair, though?" i'm not sure other than, "because its the latest version of android", otherwise, i think we have just about everything that eclair has that's really useful (or that i would actually use) already, or soon to be, ported over into cm's build on 1.6

oh, and video works on this eclair-filled cm rom......:cool:
[G1 Android Development] heyyyitsjordan:
me personally i have a swap partition of 96mb. thats all i know about that.

if you do a search on this thread, a lot of people talk about different swappiness settings. i dont mess with it lol.
[G1 Android Development] HaloTechnology:
Will Maybe You Right I Just Wanted Latest Version
[G1 Android Development] heyyyitsjordan:
ha. i was referring to a hero rom. my bad. but yes. +1

eclair is not a big deal.
[G1 Android Development] heyyyitsjordan:
has anyone ever realized...

the new mytouch 3g with the 3.5 mm jack is a 32a?

i did some digging, i found out the 32a has MORE RAM?!

i got jipped.
[G1 Android Development] Charrion:
His anger, and that of many of us here, is at your apparent need to tell us something of zero value when it comes to testing this release.

If you want to stick with the stable version, that's fine. In fact that's what it's there for, people who aren't interested in hunting bugs.

This forum thread is not for your opinion though. To be perfectly blunt, we don't care what you decide to run. If you wish to run the latest experimental build and help hunt and eliminate bugs, welcome. If you're just here to test the waters so to speak and not really contribute, then feel free to do so but don't tell us about it. In this case your opinion is worth a truckload of dead rats in a tampon factory.

This isn't twitter, we are not interested in opinions.
[G1 Android Development] :
I've flashed my phone (Magic) with HTC_ADP_1.6_DRC83_rooted_base.zip and CM 4.1.999, but now my phone got stuck in a reboot loop. It keeps on rebooting during the Android logo.

Any ideas?
[G1 Android Development] mattseg:
Upped to ext 3 (didn't get 4 right) and all is well.

Thanks for the tip.
[G1 Android Development] mattseg:
I had the same issue... if you are on ext2 go to ext3 for the apps2sd partition, made a world of difference.
[G1 Android Development] dan-htc-touch:
I guess it's mounting the ext as ext4 regardless of what you have, which is why ext2 is failing so hard
[G1 Android Development] djfreaq:
for all teh noobs

Hey guys. First contribution (sort of)

I was getting an error using the RAv1.2.2 recovery image to flash the official HTC "recovery-ota" ROM. Specifically:

getprop("ro.build.product") == "dream"
E:Error in /sdcard/update.zip (Status 7)
Installation aborted.

All you have to do is flash to the Cyanogen Recovery 1.4 and you'll be golden. You won't lose root either.

I, frankly, can't stand doing things on the phone itself and I've found the fastboot utility to be incredibly handy and useful. There are some prerequsits though:

First you'll need the official Android SDK 1.6r1:

http://developer.android.com/sdk/1.6_r1/index.html

Since I'm on windowz I downloaded the windows version.

The next step is to boot into FASTBOOT USB mode. It's easy. With your phone off, hold the Camera and Home button at the same time and press power to boot up the phone. At this point things could vary for you... I have the cyanogen boot partition... (it has skating androids), you might have something different... anyway... Press the "BACK" button to enter fastboot mode.

Windows will notify you that you have some incompatible hardware connected. Go into your device manager and find the Android Phone whose driver cannot be installed. You'll need to manually update the driver with the USB driver provided with the Android SDK.

It's here:

<some dir>\android-sdk-windows-1.6_r1\usb_driver

When you update that badboy, your phone will be recognizeable and you can proceed to flash the **** out of the various partitions on your phone. There's several, but the important partition is the recovery partition.

Next step, download the cyanogen 1.4 recovery image:

http://www.cyanogenmod.com/downloads/recovery-image

Download the image and put it here:

<some_dir>\android-sdk-windows-1.6_r1\tools\cm-recovery-1.4.img

Now the fun part. Use fastboot.exe to flash your recovery image. You can erase the recovery partition first if you want, but you'll see in this screenshot it wasn't neccissary.

Now that you have Cyanogen's recovery image you can (most likely) flash the HTC rom and continue with the directions in the first post!

I'm sure someone's already explained it, and YOUR RESULTS MAY vary, but this is what worked for me. I am running Cyanogen Mod 4.1.999 right now.

Cheers!

[G1 Android Development] PorchSong:
This might be a little off topic, but what version of Loccy's BetterBrowser is in this build? I downloaded the 1.5 version from his thread (dated 10/8), go to install and it tells me 1.6 is already installed. So how does 1.5 released after .999 tell me that 1.6 is installed when 1.6 hasn't been released yet?
[G1 Android Development] reemobeens19:

do you have the device properly rooted?

Hello All,

I am having problrms trying to update from 4.11.1.1

I'm trying to do the update and follow the step in page 1, but seem to get 3 geen androids and serial0 when I try to enter the recovery mode.

Can anyone advise what I need to do?

Many Thanks :confused:

[G1 Android Development] skesseks:
what is your ext partition? people, myself included, found huge increases by converting the ext partition from ext2 to ext3 or ext4. Search the forums, there are instructions on how to do this.
[G1 Android Development] chilln73:
Has anybody gone into dev tools and messed around in Development settings and changed the "Max App Porcesses" on this build?

Sometimes 4.1.999 sticks when when i'm scrolling through windows or seems to sputter in certain applications. It's running fast, but it's running chunky.

I bumped the Max app processes to 3 and thing seem to smooth out.

The strength of the build seems to be that it loads things into RAM and processes them fast. I figured why not keep the RAM free as possible by bumping down the concurrent apps since it can launch apps fast anyway. That way current apps run smooth.

I don't know if that makes any sense.
[G1 Android Development] [RiS]:
Just updated to 4.1.999, I'm having some troubles with applications that use coarse network location. This is the output that appears when GMaps is launched:

[G1 Android Development] tee aiy emm:
Are you sure you're holding Home + Power? It sounds like you're getting into the bootloader instead which is Camera + Power
[G1 Android Development] bkmo:
There is no user.conf in this rom. You can create one in /system/sd along with a userinit.sh if you like. There are other threads with this information.
[G1 Android Development] crypticc:
Could this affect battery life? A sleeping app uses less than unloading and reloading it.
[G1 Android Development] jklong03:
Noticed same here, coarse location errors.

I concur with the idea that course (i.e. cell signal only) location is acting "weird". I first noticed it after I flashed and went to maps, my location and it kept going to Sand Diego (I'm in Utah!) until I enabled GPS then it pulled in tight. Since then, if I have GPS off, I seem to home in on a specific cell tower in my neighborhood instead of triangulating a course actual position.

I guess the question is, Doughnut or ROM issue?
[G1 Android Development] chizu989:
Got a strange issue with this rom. Updating from 4.1.11.1, I followed all the instructions to the letter, upon booting up and getting back to the initial setup screen (since the instructions do say to wipe), I went through as normal, signing in, setting date / time, etc - but the whole thing was unbearably slow. Pressing the next button would register around a minute after i'd initially pressed the screen, any attempt to prod again would trigger repeated force closes which never actually force closed the setup app.

Even after pressing through the setup, the phone is horrendously laggy swapping screens, apps are running at normal speed, but the home screen is force closing repeatedly. Locking / unlocking the screen can take up to 2 minutes, overall it's just not right.

I'm aware others have posted about this before but all the posts regarding it i've seen have been brushed off as "you messed something up". I know for certain i've not messed the install up, I have also repeated it twice more, both times with the same result.

Could it be a localisation issue? I'm in the UK, all those reporting perfect success with the rom SEEM to be in the US.
[G1 Android Development] JoelOFH:
A lot have noticed that, yes.
[G1 Android Development] JoelOFH:
I have a problem. Oftentimes (but not always) when I reboot CM, I am stuck at the home screen for a good 1-1.5 minutes while it loads the widgets/starts working. The phone is completely frozen almost. I can't drag the notifications panel or the tray open. I can't swipe screens side to side. I can't do anything for ~60-90 seconds.

Is this normal? I have tried EVERYTHING to stop this. It just makes me a bit nervous, that's all. :(
[G1 Android Development] bryant_16:
I think its normal as the widgets have to be loaded and all the applications that you have installed are loading as well. Correct me if i'm wrong.
[G1 Android Development] _zygo_:
I think you are missing something. Go flash a theme that modifies Google apps icons, installs a map hack and lock screen, etc., then reflash Cyan's ROM and you will see those modifications untouched.

There's nothing wrong with a full wipe if just a reflash of the ROM doesn't fix a problem. It's only overkill if reflashing Cyan's ROM doesn't fix the issue, especially if a theme, app, hack, mod, partition, etc., has fried something or legacy issues remain on the phone. While I wouldn't suggest a full wipe for every issue, I think for some issues (a persistent, incoming-call crash issue, for one,) a full wipe and reflash is a valid troubleshooting step and can resolve many issues.
[G1 Android Development] Chosen_on184:
When you have a ton of widgets etc loading up then you gonna have wait while it does load. There are apps on the market that allow you to control whats starts up on boot. I thinks that might be of use to you
[G1 Android Development] TeeJay3800:
That's how my phone behaves every time it boots. The Market app "Autostarts" can help by disabling selected apps from starting at boot (and many other system events).
[G1 Android Development] tnpapadakos:
since i've been using the userinit.sh with the lowmemorykiller script (found at http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=622666), all that stuff doesnt start on startup for me anymore, i have more available RAM, and i dont have to (and dont) use autostarts or startup manager or any of those apps (which i didnt have satisfactory luck with anyway)

also, with home++, i only have to wait about 20-30 seconds on reboot-sometimes it says it stops responding, and i have to force close it, but then after 10 seconds its fine
[G1 Android Development] Jigga0o7:
From Twitter.

[G1 Android Development] agentaaron:
holy smokes...can someone please let me know if this allows you to invite contacts through the native calendar app? I dont want to wipe and flash just to see if that feature is there....pleeeease.
[G1 Android Development] el_smurfo:
4.2.15 should make the update whiners apologize...simply awesome. Even Speedtest.net is twice as fast on wifi..No Eclair for me...
[G1 Android Development] cityeyes:
This is most likely a stupid question because I doubt it can be done without actually being on Eclair, but are multiple accounts enabled in this version of CM (i.e. push email notifications/contact sync for all accounts instead of one)?

I have a work email and a home email. The main reason that I've stuck with a 2.1 rom is because I like being notified immediately of email to both accounts instead of waiting 20 minutes (and in some instances, I was never notified of email).

I miss the speed and stability of Cyanogenmod, but I'm not willing to give up that functionality.
[G1 Android Development] PsychoI3oy:
no, that'd require some major changes
[G1 Android Development] asb123:
I'm not gonna be flashing this but i would love to know how the 360 degree rotation is!
[G1 Android Development] TeeJay3800:

I am currently unable to rotate upside down on 4.2.15. Is this a bug? I can rotate in all other directions.
[G1 Android Development] cityeyes:
Yeah, I figured it'd take a hell of a lot of changes, but I was hoping that somehow "a ton of Eclair guts" meant that. Super long shot, but figured it was worth making. I miss Cyanogen.

Thanks for the quick response, by the way.
[G1 Android Development] projectzro:
New update to 4.2.15

ok i love the rom but unfortunitly the multi-touch browser and gallery is iffy at best :( but im happy with dolphin browser with smooth multi-touch and i dont care about the gallery. very nice job to the creator of cyanogen :)
[G1 Android Development] PsychoI3oy:
settings->sound&display, check box for 180 degree rotation.
[G1 Android Development] simplyTravis:
360 rotation is nice. I love how fast the screen "reflects" rather than having to reconfigure itself. Also, I feel like the speed is comparable to running 4.2.14.1 with the 10 MB hack (will see how it pans out after a few days first). Very smooth so far.
[G1 Android Development] agentaaron:
...and the calendar app?
[G1 Android Development] bxlegend:
I'm such an idiot! I should've looked there first. Thanks!
[G1 Android Development] oreoOozZz:
Wipeage and flash time, cant wait to try out the 360 degree rotation and my new extended battery. Tonight's a good night.

Nope...don't see the option. Sorry man.
[G1 Android Development] agentaaron:
Thanks for checking :)
[G1 Android Development] tnpapadakos:
just wondering...

1. i've never wiped my ext, why would i and what would it do for me

2. if this automatically installs apps to sd, do i need the "apps2sd" app that comes pre-loaded with cm, or can i delete it?
[G1 Android Development] G1-evolve:
So do not want to leave Super D..... but 360 rotation seems interesting?
