Excellent..... this is SOOOOOO much better then many of the phones that come with Droid by default. It is in keeping with the linux spirit of cutomization / personalization.

3 more questions....

Is there a link for the DarkStar theme incase I break something.... I don't want to have to install everything again.

Are there any of the apk files that are NOT interchangable in the themes you posted?

Is there a howto out there for making themes?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] incubus26jc:
1. all you have to do to get the default theme back is reinstall the system and keep your data. It takes like 2 minutes:)

2. The only apk's that are changed are the ones included in the theme. Anything you add will not be changed

3. For making themes, i got a brief tutorial from cp0020 using metamorph here

Just found this ROM. The problem with your ROM is that there are 50 others on this forum that are mostly rubbish. I tried about 8 bad ones, got sick with the slowness and lag of Android and went back to WinMo. Not sure what M$ is doing, but the new builds of WinMo are seeing feature erosion and poor build quality made the phone unreliable.

As a last draw before buying a Moto Droid, I decided to try a few more new ROMS and found yours. Installed on SD and, WOW, this thing is fast and reliable. I can actually make and receive calls from my living room now, which I never could with any other build of Android or WinMo (it shouldn't have made a difference). I stayed up till 3am tweaking and tuning the installation. How did you manage to get this ROM to run so quickly on the HTC Touch Vogue? It is amazing. Fastest ROM I've had yet!!! GOOD WORK son!
[Touch CDMA Android Development] incubus26jc:
Myn is the man!! Its even better when you flash it. Which im sure you will be doing. Its only a matter of time:)
[Touch CDMA Android Development] Reddog80p:
Sounds like a user error as far as android roms you've used. All the android builds have been pretty stable with base features like calls,data since I've been using them sure they have gotten better lately as far as speed and function is concerned but they have been far from rubbish. It takes hard working devs time to get roms that are meant to work on much newer phones working on our trusty old vogue.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] incubus26jc:
I had a heck of a time with them a year ago when i first started with the sqsh versions. Not taking anything away from the devs. I went away for awhile because of all the force closes, trouble with phone calls, sms not coming through ect.. Came back a few months later. The devs didnt give up and made it very usable. But I agree Reddog, Its certainly not rubbish. Devs like mssmison need more credit for always pushing the envelope to get the latest and greatest working. If mssmison was to stick with donut up to this point he would have a very fast stable donut build himself. But he moves on to get the latest working witch means he will always have builds in apha\beta state.

There's only 1 kernel and it should work on all 7x00 devices. Titan used to work but I don't have one so can't test it. The problem is that Titan only has 64M so android won't run very well.

Bluest Day Theme

Bluest Day Theme

I present you with the highly requested Bluest Theme

This theme is a little unique as it contains Advanced Launcher. This gives you the ability to run up to 9 HomeScreen panels as well as configure the number of tray launcher columns.

Please note that Advanced Launcher defaults to 3 HomeScreen panels and 5 launcher columns. I personally prefer 5 HomeScreen panels and 4 launcher columns. The the more columns you add the slower the launcher will render.

To get to the Advanced Launcher home screen configuration:

From the HomeScreen, hit the power button (settings), Hit the "More" button, then select "Extended", then "Home screen".

With these added features come added bugs unfortunately. Play with it and let me know what you think. I may include it as part of the next release as an optional download or default if everyone really likes it.

Install just like any other update using NoMoRootFs

Bluest Day (Download) Ported From CaNaRi0N's Bluest Theme 1.0 theme
[Touch CDMA Android Development] Reddog80p:
That's a sweet looking theme! Thanks!
[Touch CDMA Android Development] jnadke:
Wow! Looks amazing!

Though I question the practicality of the dialer... Black on brushed aluminum I feel would be hard to read....

What files do I need to extract to use the Community Hero Remix or Enoch skin dialer?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] cp0020:
Sweet! Now with the advanced launcher I can create more and better themes. Ill probably have one by Thursday or friday
[Touch CDMA Android Development] Beackman:
Hahuahua just awesomeMyn, great, great... no words man. :D:D:D
[Touch CDMA Android Development] Reddog80p:
I think you can just make an update tar with contacts.apk and phone.apk from the theme you like.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] myn:
Give the default dialer in Bluest Theme a try. I think you may like it :).

If you do choose to extract out the dialer just substitute Contacts.apk and Dialer.apk from /apps with that from another theme.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] jnadke:
Okay, thanks!

I put on Bluest Day, and at 113, the dialer is cut off. Is it recommended to use 120? Or a different res?

Also, Bluest Day seems to default to the wrong Home Screen..... (or at least all my stuff from before the update was on the wrong home screen).

When I updated to one of the other themes, the home screen ordering returned. Bluest day was 1 to the left of my home screen.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] myn:
Give 110 density a try.

Regarding the HomeScreen. This theme uses Advanced launcher. Since the default number of panels in Advanced Launcher is 3, it will consolidate all 5 from the standard launcher and push your active one to the furthest right (at least it did that on mine).

To remedy this quickly and easily just go into the Advanced Launcher HomeScreen configuration: From the HomeScreen, hit the power button (settings), Hit the "More" button, then select "Extended", then "Home screen".

And choose 5 home screens, Default Home Screen on 3.

[Touch CDMA Android Development] incubus26jc:
this might help us. might not.

http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/linux/library/l-kexec.html
[Touch CDMA Android Development] cp0020:
Did you follow any of that? Lol so if anybody knows how to do this speak up!!! :)
[Touch CDMA Android Development] incubus26jc:
I believe this is what is important out of that.

Just need to figure out how to use this info for us.

Using kexec

Kexec has two components. The first is the userspace component known as "kexec-tools." The second is the actual kernel patch. The two parts achieve the two main operations of kexec: loading the new kernel into memory and rebooting to it. Getting a kexec-enabled kernel is simple. Just download the kexec-tools package and the kernel-specific patch (see the link in the Resources section), build the kexec-tools package to obtain the kexec tool, and apply the kernel-specific patch to the kernel tree and reboot to it. Of course, make sure you have selected the CONFIG_KEXEC option while building the kernel.

As mentioned above, using kexec consists of (1) loading the kernel to be rebooted to into memory, and (2) actually rebooting to it. To load a kernel, the syntax is as follows:

kexec -l <kernel-image> --append="<command-line-options>"

where <kernel-image> is the kernel file that you intend to reboot to and <command-line-options> contain the command-line parameters that need to be passed to the new kernel. Because the wrong command-line options can cause problems during the reboot, passing the contents of /proc/cmdline is the safest way to ensure that legal values are passed to the rebooting kernel.

For example, if the kernel image you want to reboot is /boot/bzImage, and the contents of /proc/cmdline are "root=/dev/hda1", the command to load the kernel would be:

kexec -l /boot/bzImage -append="root=/dev/hda1"

Then, to actually reboot to the loaded kernel, just type:

kexec -e

The system will reboot immediately. Unlike the normal reboot process, kexec does not perform a clean shutdown of the system before rebooting. It is left to you to kill all applications and unmount file systems before attempting a kexec reboot.

Well, I'm not entirely sure what happened to cause a problem that I'm seeing now, but here is what I've gone through: I was using the 2/20 release of this very killer Android distribution (thanks Myn!) with the default theme, kaiser wifi fix and exchange email support updates. Everything was working just fine.

Then a new poly release came out, and well you know how things are when something new comes out - you've got to try it. So I did. Long story short it just didn't work out for me.

So I cleared everything out and came back to the warm donut release. Only this time, I really thought that the buuf theme looked pretty cool so I installed that and the exchange work email update.

Everything seemed to be just fine. Before trying out the poly build, I was getting a good solid day's worth of battery life out of the warm donut build - even though at work I get no signal so it's seeking constantly. However, after going back to Myn's build my kaiser died while at work, completely dead battery. No problem, I plug it in for a bit when I get home then it comes right back - though it requires a soft reset and a battery pull to come back. Today it does the same thing......only this time I can't get it to boot for the life of me. The linux part will not boot up. I pulled the battery, I hard reset to reflash, I downloaded a new kernel from sourceforge and reflashed....nothing. Phone won't boot linux to save my soul.

So now I'm at an impasse....I need to use this for an alarm so I'm flashing a winmo rom right now and going through those motions.

I'll probably try again tomorrow as I've gotten used to having Android on my phone - it's much preferable to WinMo.

Just figured I'd throw this info out there, as I don't think I've seen where anybody else has had this particular issue.

[Touch CDMA Android Development] cp0020:
Hmmmm..... if only I was smart... anyways, so I downloaded the new theme, love it by the way. But I hated the new fonts!! I could not read anything! So I used metamorph and morphed a different font, I'm on 320×480 and I swear there is literally no blurriness whatsoever!!!
[Touch CDMA Android Development] knytphal:
Hmmm.....I don't know if it was the cause of my above issue, but I had forgotten that I did not have my SIM card in the phone - at least until winmo told me about it. So after putting that back in the phone and reflashing a linux image it seems to be doing all right.

So I guess we need to have the SIM card in the phone to boot it?

Still wondering if anyone else has seen a drastic battery drainage situation for no reason though.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] cp0020:
Also since there is no blurriness on 320×480 anymore I would like to increase the font size. But when you do it through spare parts it reverts back to the way it was when backing out. So does anyone know how to increase the font size?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] dzo:
Attached is the kexec executable, the initrd and an example of how to use it. Will only work on very recent kernels.

Put kexec, initrd.gz and zImage in /sdcard then execute the command in the testkernel script.

A use for this would be to boot into a new kernel at 320x480, clear your google login credentials and log in again to get full market.

[Touch CDMA Android Development] jnadke:
As I mentioned in the kernel thread:

kexec is essentially HaReT for Android.

The general idea is that you put the kernel you want in /sdcard/andboot and you can boot it.

By telling the kernel to boot up using the standard HaReT cmdline.txt, you can effectively boot off the SDCard.

Therefore, you can run at 240x320, and temporarily boot off SDCard to 320x480 to reset the market.

syncing feeling

good day all.

loving the build, especially like the boot up and the speed it runs at. this build of android linked with the rom i am running ALMOST makes me want to ditch winMO all together.

main issue and/or question i have is about the app 'work email'. obviously is designed for microsoft exchange servers, however my question is does it only use OTA as a connection?

our servers require USB interface to establish the partnership then OTA for updates, otherwise its a nogo. all i am interested in is the e-mail and contacts.

i read someplace there was an android/outlook conduit someplace,

fact or fiction

if i can get around this i could go to android 100%

I want to add a little to the post above regarding the airplane mode. If I put the phone in the airplane mode then it always reboots to Android. When it comes back online then I can see the airplane icon at the top notification bar but the menu states that I am not in the airplane mode. I can't use any data or make calls so I think I am really in the airplane mode but the menu says otherwise so at this point I have to soft reboot to get back into WM6.1 then restart Android to fix the problem.

It doesn't look like the airplane mode is a priority with the group here so there is no rush but it would be really great if this bug got fixed on the next release!

Thanks for all your hard work myn.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] jnadke:
There's already a discussion about this in the kernel thread. The bug hasn't been brought to the developers attention until recently. And given that it hasn't been discussed until recently, it's probably a kernel regression (meaning something was changed to introduce this bug).

Help us out! Next time your phone reboots:

1. Open the App tray. Open BetterTerminal.

2. Type cat /proc/last_kmsg

3. Post in the kernel thread what you get!

You can also do:

cat /proc/last_kmesg > /sdcard/kmesglog.txt

And then grab kmesglog off your sdcard and post it here.

The rebooting is likely a kernel issue. Kernel issues are indeed priorities!

Voltage and SD Card Issues ??

Maybe I'm offtopic.. but I started experiencing the "Error waiting for notbusy" with Myn's Warm Donut, so.... AND it is the BEST android I've ever tried, so I don't want to give up.

QUESTION: isn't it that those who are getting "Error waiting for notbusy" and corruption of their files on microSD (typically data.img corrupts) are doing so because the voltage used by the phone to write to microSD is not sufficient?

I think that would be possible, because this is what used to happen on my eeePC700 writing on a 16GB SDCARD till when I used an application to force it to work at higher voltage. ASUS had lowered the CPU voltage to save battery (and we know battery is a fundamental thing for us), but this had caused failures to write ONLY TO CERTAIN SDCARDS. So, my question here is: are we sure that the voltage that this distribution sets the CPU and bus is enough to write/read the microSD appropriately?

One more example: I was formatting the microSD on my ASUS eeePC, and it went stuck (waiting forever that it finishes and it was there since 3 or 4 minutes...). I realized I forgot rising voltage, launched the eeecontrol application, switched to high voltage and in 1 second formatting finished OK and the SD card was apparently perfectly fit for use.

What do you think Myn (and in the meantime I donated.. not sure I should get a confirmation).

Thanks
