Except there's about 11 other things on the list that I don't want. :p But I do understand, perhaps it would be easier to just install that one and remove the stuff I don't need... I'm not really sure how I would revert those tweaks you forgot though :)
[Nexus One Android Development] Geo411m:
I forgot tweaks? Which one's am I missing?

BTW, if you took the stock rom I put out and used The trackball alerts program to patch it and then apply the blackbar add-on you would have just about everything you're looking for. In the future I can add the trackball stuff to the blackbar add-on so it can be used with the stock rom to achieve what you're asking for.
[Nexus One Android Development] mslatter:
Hey tech338,

You rock - works like a champ. I knew there had to be a way to get it done. Thanks so much!

Cheers,

Mark.
[Nexus One Android Development] nachod0g:
I was just referring to this part of your original post

Ok cool, I didn't realize the blackbar add-on could be applied to the stock rom as well. I'll give it a shot, and if you could add the trackball stuff in to the blackbar then that would be perfect. Thanks. :D
[Nexus One Android Development] Geo411m:
Those tweaks you're refering to are from a change log from version 1 of FRG33. Everything over that version will include those tweaks.

Hi Geo , could you put FRG83_Black Bar_Add on but without Percentage in Battery?

Thanks
[Nexus One Android Development] cardellino:
Hi all,this is my firt post on the xda forum....

I would ask if i install the "Completely Stock Deodexed with busybox" from the firt page on my nexus one,i can receive an update OTA from google?

Thanks

Antonio
[Nexus One Android Development] Geo411m:
Antonio,

The only way to install a custom ROM is to use a custom recovery. Once you've installed a custom recovery, you won't be able to apply OTA updates because the recovery and the ROM both need the same signatures. A few custom recoveries ignore ROM signing thus allowing you to install unsigned ROMS, but I'm not sure if they allow for OTA updates.
[Nexus One Android Development] sonofabit:
Great ROM

Just wanted to say how great this ROM is. It's stable, and has just enough goodies in it that separate it from the vanilla ROM. Keep up the good work.
[Nexus One Android Development] efrant:
I was able to install OTA updates with Amon_RA 1.8.0, as well as with ClockworkMod 2.5.1.0, as they both skip the signing check. However, I was running a rooted stock FRF91 at the time...
[Nexus One Android Development] Geo411m:
But was your rom deodexed? I think some of those OTA are small patch updates meant for odexed roms.
[Nexus One Android Development] efrant:
No the ROM was not deodexed.

Battery Icons

Geo and others,

I have included the 123 battery pngs that I would like to replace the originals with. I am completely oblivious as to how to do that. Please guide me to a solution or please add these as an option to your FRG83 Blackbar1.2 addon as a lot of people have requested this.

Thanks in advance.

Edit: A couple of icons were missing, so I just included duplicates of existing ones to fill the void.
[Nexus One Android Development] Geo411m:
Don't decompile the Framework. Instead, just open (don't unzip) the apk using a zip program and copy your new png files into the apk overwriting the originals. Also, don't sign the framework-res folder of you'll break it. The error is due to a broken 9.png file btw.

Nice looking icons. I don't have time today to add it to framework-res but if you follow my advice above, you get it working on your own.
[Nexus One Android Development] sonnysekhon:
Thanks a lot. Worked like a charm. I have attached the modified blackbar addon with Circle A icons as seen in the screen shot for those who are interested. Just flash this in recovery.

EDIT: Added 3 more icon styles. Circle D, Gauge and Desire. I have flashable addon files of these as well if you need them. Or you can make your own with the provided icons.
[Nexus One Android Development] Anksta:
Looks great. Can't wait till Geo411m makes it official. :)

Quick questions:

If I want to reinstall the rom all over again, do I install the rom + app2sd addon + arabic support without rebooting, untill i finish installing them all?

Geo, is trackball alert succession still breaks Arabic support?
[Nexus One Android Development] Bulltza:
Thanks a lot for this rom, I had it installed it since it had like 5 pages of posts only. Stable and with all the tweaks, the only tweak I was missing was the night mode but it is as simple as installing the zip from the threath of the calibration profile :)

Hi there,

I have been using this ROM since FRF91, and find it very good! It fits all my needs, except one. I am not sure if I can get this in any of the settings. It's the vibrate-when-connected for calls. I am now using the FRG83 one, and this feature is missing. How can I activate this again?

Rgd, Bill
[Nexus One Android Development] cardellino:
Thanks,and is available a stock(really stock,no deodexed) of the FRG83?

Ciao
[Nexus One Android Development] selden:
sonnysekhon, just added the v1.2(2) add on and works fine, many thanks!

This rom is just perfect for me now, thanks again to Geo aswell!
[Nexus One Android Development] OutlawPro:
I added the Super Circle style "C" icons to my update. Have you had any issues where the icon doesn't change to the "charging" version when you charge your phone? I've only been able to get it to show up once using my desk dock. It has yet to show up using a USB cable.
[Nexus One Android Development] OutlawPro:
I've installed the "Completely Stock" version and updated it with the Black Bar v1.2. Does anyone else have an issue with the trackball notification for new email not going off once you've read your email? I had new email when I woke up and the light was flashing, now it just won't stop. I had to reboot to make it stop.
[Nexus One Android Development] selden:
Outlaw, no problems with the icon doesn't change to the "charging" version when charging my phone with wall charger, just tried usb cable and icon changes there too, i'm runnining frg83 v1.2 with blackbar ad on
[Nexus One Android Development] blarblargs:
hey geo I love the mod. one question though, I installed the theme from the first page and I like it but now I don't have the battery %. what's the easiest way to just get that option added? thanks a lot
[Nexus One Android Development] mslatter:
I went into recovery mode and tried to flash the blackbar ROM and got:

Would anyone know why?
[Nexus One Android Development] OutlawPro:
The percentage is just numbers in the images. Just find some battery icons you like that include the numbers and replace the ones you have with those.
[Nexus One Android Development] blarblargs:
thanks for the fast reply. do I have to flash from recovery to change icons?
[Nexus One Android Development] Tenacious Steve:
So, if I want the icon featured in the picture, I just download the blackbar link you have posted and flash that? Would I need to re-flash the original ROM from Geo first, or just download and install?

If I already have the blackbar from Geo, should I just download one of the other battery files you have, or are those replacements for the one in your blackbar?
[Nexus One Android Development] wuli:
I don't get it, won't using the Ultimate Online Theme Kitchen http://circle.glx.nl/ just work on these roms? This kitchen can let you choose how the icons look and then it will replace framework-res.apk to the updated one.

If not, i guess we can just use it to generate the icons that we like and then manually put them in the framework-res.apk.
[Nexus One Android Development] OutlawPro:
Yes, I believe doing it recovery is the correct way.

1. Start with the black bar addon zip

2. Remove framework-res.apk from the zip.

3. Open framework-res.apk in 7zip (or whatever zip application you want)

4. Replace the battery images in res/drawable-hdpi-v4 with the images you want.

5. Put your modified framework-res.apk back into the black bar addon zip, replacing the one already there.

6. Flash the new black bar zip to your phone in recovery.

You can also replace other images while you're at it if you wish. I replaced status_bar_close_on.9.png with the one from Formels black bar because I like it better. I also replaced some of the notification icons that I found in the SuperCircle Battery pack because I like the blue theme.
[Nexus One Android Development] OutlawPro:
I thought that it should work also. However, the framework-res.apk that was generated for me caused me to bootloop.
[Nexus One Android Development] OutlawPro:
Here's mine:
[Nexus One Android Development] XSafire:
How do I enable the seven screens?

I don't really like the horizontal home screen. Anyway to disable it?

How do I customize the Trackball Alert mod?

Also, if I flash the blackbar mod, can I go back to the stockbar easily?

thanks.
[Nexus One Android Development] sonnysekhon:
Yes. This is exactly what I did. I am using the gauge icons. Place the icons against a black background to see how they look. They are the most aesthetic IMHO.

Geo's framework-gave came back with an error-log when using with online kitchen because I guess UOT tried to sign it and broke a .9 file. I pulled all the icons manually. You can do that too if there are a certain ones you like.

Hey Outlaw, can you please share the .9 file for Formel's black bar.
[Nexus One Android Development] OutlawPro:
It can be found here:

[Nexus One Android Development] mslatter:
XSafire, take a look at post 1058 in this thread on the 7 screens. Worked perfectly for me.

I'm in agreement on the Home Screen going to Landscape. I'd love to know how to turn that off too.
[Nexus One Android Development] MountainDrew:
That happened to me yesterday. Just that one time, and it hasn't happened again. I've been running v1.2 for about a week now.
[Nexus One Android Development] tech338:
For that, you can just push Launcher2.apk from the leaked G2 ROM (7 screens). This is the one that Geo edited to add landscape functionality (I think). Let me see if I can find the thread....

Here it is. ...

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=765121

(see post 5 for download link) Just rip out Launcher2 from this rom and push. No more landscape. Worked for me

By now you could also check the G2 section and get the final version of the launcher. Not sure if anything changed...

battery life

I'm using FRG83 1.2 w/black bar add on, the battery life is so short compared to FRG91 with the same settings. Any one experienced this or it's just me!
[Nexus One Android Development] sonnysekhon:
A few posts above, someone posted how to calibrate the battery. Mine is about the same even without calibration.

I made another addon file with gauge battery icons and a modified status bar pulldown menu. Attached is the file and screenshots for those interested.
[Nexus One Android Development] Tenacious Steve:
Sonny, can your blackbar file packages be flashed over Geo's that are already installed? Any contradictions or consequences in doing so?

Also, my battery seems to be about the same as before during all amounts of usage. Currently at 12hr47min with 43% battery left. I usually average around 15-17hrs while having 25-35% battery left (depends on how much I use it). The longest my battery has ever lasted me was 1d6h42m (that's nearly 31 hours for those not wanting to do the math) and STILL had 22% battery left...wasn't used much that day, though.
[Nexus One Android Development] sonnysekhon:
None that I know of. Just flash this if you are on Geo's FRG83.

[Nexus One Android Development] Arcarsenal:
I'm guessing you also removed CarHomeLauncher.apk when you deleted the app with Titanium Backup. I, and several others did the same. The solution is here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=8407891&postcount=16

download carhomelauncher.apk, place it in system/app with root explorer, install the apk, reboot & you'll be set.

Hmmm ok, I think that I wasn't mounting the partition to rw as I was using the bridge earlier it kept saying it was read only... thanks for all the help.

Hey Tech338,

Thanks for the lead man, but that link no longer works - says "forbidden".

Trackball Alert support

I have a similar issue as OutlawPro. I have FRG83 Stockbar v1.2 + Battery % + Blackbar + latest Trackball Alert (v1.1.4) installed.

I'm getting "phantom" trackball alerts. I would see the normal trackball alerts blinking away on my phone, but when I check the notification bar, there's nothing there. I tried checking whether the usual, if there was new mail/sms/chat, but there wasn't anything.

Instead of rebooting like OutlawPro (which does also work), I've found that wiping down the notification bar (there's nothing there, and the clear button is not visible) would stop the alerts.

[Nexus One Android Development] Tenacious Steve:
Thanks! That worked like a charm!

As for the battery life with this ROM, I'm still thoroughly impressed even months later! With the stock ROM on the Nexus One I was lucky to get 8-10hrs under normal usage. Would always have to charge mid-day as it would never last. Not sure what you did, Geo, but with this one installed I've NEVER gotten less than 15hrs or come even close to running out of battery life. Usually average 20hrs easily and have gotten all my N1 friends to faithfully use this ROM! Keep up the good work!

Only thing missing, IMO, is 720p video... any chance of that happening?
[Nexus One Android Development] sonnysekhon:
It works on fine. And I have it stored on my SD card with Move2SD Enabler. It shows a green arrow when you click on a video. Is that what you are refering to as it asking you to install the flash player? I just click on the green arrow and the video starts playing. Tested on cnet and CNN. Using Dolphin HD.
[Nexus One Android Development] viasat:
No,the answer is back on the pages of this topic.720p needs another kernel,so Geo's rom will not be anymore stock rom,with stock kernel.If you need it so badly,you can try a bunch of rom's with the 720p mod included.

What's up Geo or anyone that can help.

I just ran the FRG83 A2SD addon.

And I partitioned my SD card. I set the swap size to 0

and the ext partition size to 512MB. It appears to be working sort of,

because I went from having 15MB of space to 89MB of space.

But, my question is, where is the rest of that space? I assumed I would have an additional 512MB of internal space for storage of apps.

And, I don't even know where that 89MB figure comes from.:confused:

Plus when I use TB to force apps to SD, I don't acquire more internal space. I think I did something wrong.
[Nexus One Android Development] jlevy73:
Thanks. I deleted flash, reinstalled and everything worked fine.
[Nexus One Android Development] dictionary:
That's correct. You won't see a super high number in Menu>Settings>SD&Storage because that is reading the internal phone memory. If you want a bit more space, you can enable a2sd via terminal app on the phone. If you don't have one, download "Terminal Emulator" from market, and type:

su (hit enter)

a2sd reinstall (hit enter)

phone will reboot

When it reboots, go back to Terminal Emulator

su (hit enter)

a2sd zipalign (hit enter)

Now, this is where it varies. Some people do a2sd cachesd, which moves the dalvik cache to the sd card. I prefer doing a2sd cachepart, which moves the dalvik cache to the cache partition. Which ever you decide, type that command, then hit enter. Phone will again reboot. You should be able to install massive amounts of apps now, and you'll barely see the Internal Phone storage go down.
