@mrwookie

have you read the known issues part in the first post?

You have Launcher pro or ADW, right?

Then please read it again ;)
[Desire Themes and Apps] stingerpl:
Can You add battery %?

Also, can You make the notification area transparent or black?

Thanks!
[Desire Themes and Apps] FormelLMS:
Transparent isn't possible on FroYo, as far as I know.

On our Nexus, we don't have this possibility, too.

If anybody has an idea: Help is appreciated^^

Battery Percentage? What do you mean?
[Desire Themes and Apps] sandervanzijl:
maybe a silly question, but since i do not have a desire yet:

what do you mean with:

4. Apply zip from SD

how can you apply a zip?

should it be extracted, clicked on, double clicked, opened in a program, selected as a theme etc etc.
[Desire Themes and Apps] FormelLMS:
If you're phone is roored and you're running an custom recovery and have installed a custom rom over this recovery, you know what it means.^^

If not:

You can apply update.zip as they are. Don't extract, don't use any programs. Just boot into recovery, select "update from zip" and choose your zip file you wanna have installed.

Ready ;)
[Desire Themes and Apps] stingerpl:
It is possible. Actually Your theme took it off ;) It is included in SetROM ( http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=699648 )

By battery precentage I mean an indicator of battery % left in the middle of the circle (like here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=7126291&postcount=17 )
[Desire Themes and Apps] FormelLMS:
OK, I'll have a look into it ;)

Thanks for the links.

I really don't know anything about Desire Customizations^^
[Desire Themes and Apps] mrwookie6379:
Yep read known issues but not running launcher pro or adw...??
[Desire Themes and Apps] Sulphy:
mmm.... was looking forward to this.... now my Desire wont boot....!

recovery time!!! :(
[Desire Themes and Apps] stingerpl:
Give it some time. My first boot was taking a couple of minutes.
[Desire Themes and Apps] Sulphy:
left it for about 20 minutes..... boot screen would load up, then go black... start loading again.... lockup.... go black..... over and over....

attempting a nandroid restore at the moment.....

Update........ phone is stuck on white screen.....!!!!!!! GREAT!
[Desire Themes and Apps] FormelLMS:
No Problem with a Nandroid Backup, isn't it? ;)

It is very cool, when you write your rom to those error messages.

"Won't work" doesn't help me. :mad:

Guys, I've spend a few hours over it, I never have a desire and you don't have 1 Minute to describe a bit more? I do it only for you, not for me.
[Desire Themes and Apps] Sulphy:
Don't get me wrong, appreciate your work... mebbe something went belly up for me... but my phone is now erm.... out of order......

Nandroid backup didnt help either.... :(

am trying not to panic just yet... am hoping i can get it functional again...!

Running OpenDesire 1.6b .... well, was!! lol!

if i get it up again.... i may try one last time..... :)
[Desire Themes and Apps] FormelLMS:
Ok. What you can Do:

Go to recovery and apply your rom again without a wipe.

I hope you can fix it with this.
[Desire Themes and Apps] Sulphy:
I have managed to get my Desire back up and running..... with quite a mission... something went horribly wrong.... but think it was my fault tho!!! :)

Do you think i should try install the transparent again~??

it does look really sweet!!!!!
[Desire Themes and Apps] FormelLMS:
Phew....

I really don't know whats going wrong there.

On Nexus One it is far easier to make themes/Metamorphs.

If you know how you can get your desire running if it fails, you can try it again.

Sorry for the problems.
[Desire Themes and Apps] Sulphy:
hehehe... its all good man!!!! i guess learning the hard way like this has its benifits...!!!! although some tense moments...... i really do hope that it works this time... cos u did a great job on it..... i love the screenshots... and if I manage to get it going, then i doubt anyone else would have a prob... or if they do.... it is fixable!!!!! :)

I will let u know shortly how it went.... :)
[Desire Themes and Apps] FormelLMS:
Okay, bro.

I'll stay tuned.^^
[Desire Themes and Apps] Sulphy:
ok.... it installed fine from recovery mode.... and rebooted.... now i have the Android boot screen loading, then reloading.... in almost a loop...... i forgot to make a new backup!!! DOH!!!!!!! ....... so i am gonna go get a cup of coffee... and take a walk outside.... and leave it alone for a while....! :)

If nothing happens after half an hour....... ill let you know....! if it works tho.... you will know all about it!!!! :) cheers,,,,, :cool:

UPDATE - Half an hour later................................. boot sequence is still in a loop.....! :(

Oh well.....! wish i could hand u my desire to play with...... Thanks anyways bud..... will keep an eye open on this page, for any updates... :)

Have a good one
[Desire Themes and Apps] djtosh:
anychance of just the glass status bar and no icons?

dont like the icons here
[Desire Themes and Apps] nitrox1:
Hi,

I really like the bar, and the icons.

But is there anyway to throw in this circle battery icon?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=724778

Thanks
[Desire Themes and Apps] wesjumper:
Ita not working on my desire. I still get the black status bar and i dont have launcher pro and Adw launcher installed. I use the dj Droid froyo with sense ui.

+1
[Desire Themes and Apps] FormelLMS:
Hm, I think it isn't working on Desire ROMs with SenseUI.

Sorry.
[Desire Themes and Apps] wesjumper:
However i did have got the circle battery icon.
[Desire Themes and Apps] abu_121:
I agree with the above. i have froyo sense UI DJ droid... i have the blue battery circle and a clock symbol but no glass status bar...
[Desire Themes and Apps] FormelLMS:
The guys with sense and the black bar:

Can you try it again?

I hope I have the right fixed now...

Nandroid, please!
[Desire Themes and Apps] mrwookie6379:
Nope still just black bar for me.....
[Desire Themes and Apps] FormelLMS:
Oh no.

Then I really do not know now.

I hope I get an idea soon.

Sorry...
[Desire Themes and Apps] mrwookie6379:
Hey dont give up on it buddy...... :)
[Desire Themes and Apps] FormelLMS:
Which one have you downloaded?
[Desire Themes and Apps] mrwookie6379:
Downloaded middle one on front page for froyo with sense.... :-)
[Desire Themes and Apps] shoey-n:
What exactly did you change for the transparent notification bar and drawer ?

Because I really like my Circle Battery, so I would like just to add your transparent notification bar and drawer (not too fussed on the icons) to the battery mod
[Desire Themes and Apps] FormelLMS:
You can extract the framework-res.apk as a zip file.

There lies all pictures in the /res/drawable-hdpi folder.

You can use all of the stuff if you want.
[Desire Themes and Apps] shoey-n:
I managed to merge the circle battery with this, looks really good

Do you know how to make the actual notification drawer (screen which you pull down) transparent as well ?

Because when I pull the notification bar, I can see the drawer moving past the bar

Cyanogen has transparent drawer in all of his ROMs so it must be possible, any help would be great :D
[Desire Themes and Apps] Sulphy:
Has anyone got this working ok on OpenDesire 2.0 ???? really wanting this .......

thanks :)
[Desire Themes and Apps] Sulphy:
BOOM BABY!!!!!!

Formel - I hope that you dont mind.... All credit does go to you for this!

Ok, I got mine working... i re-created the apk.... and installed it on my Desire with OpenDesire 2.0 .... works perfectly....!!!!! Let me know if anyone else wants it....

Happiness is!!!!
[Desire Themes and Apps] FormelLMS:
Yeah, cool! What was wrong?

can you upload and share it?
[Desire Themes and Apps] Sulphy:
... absolutely.... am making a few small changes to some of the colours.... more to my taste if u will.... :) but i will upload both sets shortly for you guys...

EDIT : The reason my phone was crashing : your res/drawable-hdpi-v4 was what wrecked mine.... as my res does not have the -4 extra in the filename.....

I havent done any comparisons on the xml files as yet... :)
[Desire Themes and Apps] Sulphy:
Ok..... here are the files i created.....

They work on OpenDesire 2.0 .... honestly have no idea how to edit them for a sense theme....

you need to copy and paste the urls... pain i know...! something to do with using a free host ... SUCKS!

Original set from Formel .....

ltjones.20x.cc/temp/icons_update.zip

Slightly modified set :)

ltjones.20x.cc/temp/icons3_update.zip

If you want the battery % inside the rings - go here and download the appropriate file :) works a charm on my Desire : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=679937

On DJDroid_v1r1 still black bar :( for some expert it possible have it full working but whit a circle clock or only a trasparency bar
[Desire Themes and Apps] nitrox1:
Hello,

Again really like bar.

Will you be making one that's compatible with defrost 2.1?
[Desire Themes and Apps] BeepBob:
I would love to see one for 2.1 as well. :cool:
[Desire Themes and Apps] pranavd1980:
Yeap...Working for me with Opendesire 2.0......Very good theme...

Today will try it with Opendesire 2.1......
[Desire Themes and Apps] AkkerDK:
Which launcher do you use? ADW.launcher or LauncherPro?

As I understand, this shouldn't work with LauncherPro, which I use.
[Desire Themes and Apps] FormelLMS:
On launcher pro you cannot disable the wallpaper hack. So you can't use a glassy StatusBar.
[Desire Themes and Apps] Sulphy:
This GlassStatusBar works fine on OpenDesire 2.1 :) I can confirm :)
[Desire Themes and Apps] Jiia:
I can't install the file. After I choose to install the zip file I get the following errors:

I have rooted stock 2.1 ROM with SenseUI. I downloaded the last of the three files. What's wrong?
[Desire Themes and Apps] mrwookie6379:
Need to turn off signature verification before flashing zip.
[Desire Themes and Apps] Jiia:
Thanks for the advice. But how do you exactly do that?
[Desire Themes and Apps] twist1234:

[Vibrant General] Aqua1ung:
As you probably heard, Samsung decided to confuse us even more by launching a Canadian Vibrant on Bell Canada's network. That being said, will you guys be looking into rooting this one as well? :o
[Vibrant General] Ziostilon:
for those that are looking for a Euro-like Galaxy S. but with AT&T bands, keep a look-out for the Bell version.

http://galaxys.bell.ca/

http://pages.samsung.com/ca/galaxy/English/

Just use some random Postal Code. for example, search up some random sports arena location, and use their postal code
[Vibrant General] SamsungVibrant:
how do they differ
[Vibrant General] turtleoftime:
That's the i9000, not the Vibrant...
[Vibrant General] trashcan:
that's the Canadian Vibrant with the salme i9000 look but has AT&T 3G bands. I am thinking Samsung probably has one radio chip for all...instead of making different radio chips for different version. So, there may be a way to enable all bands in the radio. We were able to change bands in the service mode but on Tmo vibrant, the 850mhz 3G band is still not active.
[Vibrant General] Viper717:
I have my phone rooted using Ryanza's OCLF, worked no problem. The only difference i found thus far is the keys to get into recovery and download mode, well for my usage anyways lol :)
[EVO 4G General] akarol:
So, I've been noticing my phone has been going through a lot more battery recently and part of the reason I believe is due to my Wi-Fi disconnecting and not re-connecting at times. Even if I reenter the password it still won't connect at times. I am forced to turn the antenna completely OFF and then ON again to get it working at times.

I have installed Fresh 0.53 since rooting and haven't noticed any issues with it until recently. The only other thing I have done is tried out different Kernels from ffolkes. Right now I am running the undervolted version os his kernel. Could that have something to do with it or is it unrelated to the Wi-Fi?!

BTW, I have been running the latest versions of the radio and WiMax.
[EVO 4G General] Sporkman:
no troubles here when i run flipz or any other rom on wifi

im running baked snacks and get GREAT GREAT battery life
[EVO 4G General] LearnIIBurn:
My WiFi is pretty unreliable as well. Im running stock OTA update that was supposed to turn on N. I still get terrible WiFi reception even when very close to router. I get a lot of hang-ups as well when browsing and usually have to refresh a website 5-6 times till it finally kicks in. Either I have a terrible router, or my EVO still has really bad WiFi.
[General Questions and Answers] gulluwing:
I installed remote tracker I changed sim to verify it without result so I re-inserted the allowed sim:

I started rtconfig, I entered my password (i'm sure about it because I always use it in all application) but remote tracker tells me "password doesn't match". So I sent an sms rt#"secret,[my secret answer]" (I'm sure about it because it's my father's name) but the replay is "password doesn't match. bat :61-80%".

After I sent the command rt2#lostpass and the device replaied me correctly, second pass I sent an sms with the string rt#"secret,[my father's name]" and the answer was "password doesn't match. bat :61-80%".

I read that it's possible to reset password deleting the key in the registry:

HTML\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\explorer\defpas

but I would not worsen the situation: what do you think?

thank you
[HD2 General] jimbonics:
OK.

Our entire company is syncing our Exchange accounts Over The Air, which is to say, we do not have the need to use ActiveSync for this, thank gawd, at least in terms of having to plug the phone into a PC.

An issue that has been brought to my attention, is that our SENT items are not syncing, the folder is completely blank.

I have a seen a few threads stating menu-->tools-->manage folders....

I don't have a tools option when I select the Menu Soft Key whilst in the Inbox. Is this something else the US version borked up? My subfolders underneath the inbox are not syncing either. What's the Dill, Pickle?

I'm issuing you a .001-second ban for self-flaming...let's try to keep it civil in here, k? :D
[G1 General] gringo69:
Alright...so i wanna see what else is working for other ppl.... Like many others im sure u like ur devices quick and snappy....

Ive noticed that disabling surface dithering helps performance for me.....

With Compcache my home screen doesnt have to reload as much when i go back to it from an app.

I have Jit enabled....still cant decide if it hurts or helps.....anybody else?

I left the vm heap size at 16 (stock) ....im guessing its virtual memory but havent tested different settings...

In ADW launcher I have it set up for 4 screens cuz i dont really need anymore...

I set the Desktop scrolling and overshoot both to 0 and have disabled scrollable widget support, and also disabled the Animated drawer effect and the Fade App Labels.

I have the screen cache and system persistent enabled.

I know the adw launcher settings might not be real performance...but it does make the homescreen and app drawer feel much quicker.

What else do you guys use? Whats working for u?
[G1 General] lbcoder:
Avoid froyo2sd like the plague.

There are good things about it, but its implementation is riddled with memory and cpu consumption. We need to kill all 8 trillion redundant mounts and all the encryption to make it viable.... that and get the dalvik cache and home directories onto the sdcard with the apk.
[G1 General] gringo69:
guess ill be moving the apps back to the phone to test out performance:p....thanx
[G1 General] mejorguille:
CM6 has been one of the fastest roms I've ever flashed. Here's my current settings:

I've always used compcache so I'm not sure if it helps performance or not anymore.

VM heap size as I understand it from a few google searches is related to the amount of ram dedicated/allocated to/per background process(es). I currently have mine a 12mb with no weird side effects.

The argument for jit is that it makes opening apps a little slower but it helps out with intensive apps like maps and browser. I have it on and my dialer still opens within 2 seconds, and browser seems better so idk.

ADW with 0 scrolling speed looks ugly and jerky =p I usually stick within 300-400, using only three screens, no dockbar, no nexus dots, sliding top paginator, no drawer animation, no status bar (you can swipe up/down and it shows up anyway), no background on the lab/rab/launcher,no scrollable widgets, screen cache, etc. I only use the calendar, powercontrol, and 4*4 music widget and a handful of icons. I find those settings to be smooth as butter.

I also turned off autorrotation except for 180*, I always find it annoying when I have my phone in my lap or I'm laying down watching tv and it rotates on me, and sometimes it's more comfortable to hold the phone upside down (I also use it when i listen to music so the headphones are on top). Also 3D gallery has no rotate bugs for me....

Yeah those settings haven't failed me yet. I haven't even gotten around to overclocking since its so good and speedy.
[G1 General] ftruck90:
I noticed a huge difference when I swapped from adwlauncher to launcherpro, launcherpro just seems a lot faster and smoother then adw. I'm also running compcache and jit, overclocked to 610mhz. I'm getting linpack scores of.4.25 MFLOPS, quadrant scores of 370 and neocore scores of 21FPS(sound) and 24.1FPS(no sound). My phone is definitely running faster then it ever has..now the real test is mastering swype...
[G1 General] chrisgto4:
how did U overclock to 610
[G1 General] kboater:
same question. what kernal did you use to overclock above 576? when you used a different kernal, did it break wifi or anything?
[G1 General] kboater:
my experience:

I left OC at 576,

turned off dithering

turned compcache on

turned jit on, and reboot

no swap, but type free in terminal to make sure compcache is working.

go into normal phone settings > display > turned off all animations

go into ADW settings and turned off animations, turned desktop scrolling speed to as fast as possible, turned off animated drawer, make sure system persistent is checked, and just made sure all scrolling speeds are set to as fast as possible with no animations or fades.

for me this thing is flying. as fast as any donut I ever flashed and way faster then any 2.1. with the above settings, im constantly getting a little over 4 mflops.

no lag, and only once in a while will it reload the launcher when returning to home. if i enable swap it may never do it

get a random FC every one in a while (not often at all) but no big deal.

just wanted to share what i did and my experience so far

still wondering if anyone has OC past 576 and with what kernal. if so, what any problems? or battery life issues?
[G1 General] mejorguille:
I really don't suggest a bigger OC then 576 unless you have a big battery....

My findings are each Mhz of overclock drives down battery 2%. My phone overclocks steady at 691 w/ no reboot but battery doesn't live more then a few hours. I haven't even used set cpu yet since I feel the rom is fast enough.

Oh and linpack results don't really matter at all.... Your phone does not often have to perform loads of math and java calculations...
[G1 General] kboater:
ok thanks.

i know you said you have not used set cpu yet, but I think CM6 is overclocked to 576 automatically upon flashing the rom

at least when i hit autodetect, it detected 576 and 122
[G1 General] r3s-rt:
I hate all you people. :P

CM6 runs HORRIBLY slow for me. Tried every speed tip I can do - it's just unreasonably slow. Yes, I wiped before I flashed, even redownloaded CM6 and have latest gapps. Is anyone else experiencing this? I'm talking about so slow I can't get to my homescreen from an app in less than 30 seconds.
[G1 General] kboater:
im on mytouch 32b also. sorry to hear about your really bad experience.

i know you tried everything, but you could always re-wipe everything, flash rom, flash gaps 3 then try all the tweaks I posted in this thread on previous page
[G1 General] mejorguille:
Try checking persistant home in ADW settings
[G1 General] skater4690:
do the persistant thing in adw it keeps launcher in memory after that rare home reloads use set cpu and oc to 576 and a528 thats what i have and i would suggest doing fix_permissions through terminal just did that it took like 3 min but damn its freaking fast now and i was about to get rid of cm6 cause it was starting to run sluggish
[G1 General] Silent8Strike:
I've been using: compcache on, JIT on, dithering off (which was a big one), and VM size set to 16. Also I ditched ADW for LauncherPro and CM6 is no slower than CM5 was for me, if anything its faster. I'm loving that my G1 boots twice as fast on CM6 :D
[G1 General] ftruck90:
I used dumfuqs 610 kernel to OC it runs fine with wifi. I agree it strains the battery but I'm not overly fussed over battery life.
[G1 General] gringo69:
it was either the 710 or 614......:confused:
[G1 General] ftruck90:
Hahaha **** at time of writing I must of been confused too I meant the 614 .
[G1 General] r3s-rt:
Done it all. :/ When I mean horribly laggy, I mean that I would miss a phone call before the phone got off of the lockscreen to accept it. :/

I'm persistent, though, and tried again today. For some reason everything seems to be running like it should now. Time to finally get to try these speed tips. =]

could someone help me with some kind of guide for the recovery, backup, spl, and eeeverything else please? D:
[G1 General] adambenjamin:
Remove a few widgets. Set the drawer setting to 4 columns instead of 5. Change the background to alpha=0 or a plain color. FYI, it goes REEAAALLLLY slow... until your syncing icon at the top has gone away for 5 minutes or so. Upon flashing, your phone is backed up with thousands of tasks, just let it do its thing. And simplify ADW.
[G1 General] adambenjamin:
PM or Gmail me at adam4homes
[G1 General] gringo69:
culprit ADW return to home lag... Android Backup Service

Uncheck "Automatic restore" and "Back up my data" under "Menu > Settings > Privacy"

Heres another tip that might help out guys....it was posted in the development forum by "inthewoods"

i didnt have it b4 so i doubt ill miss it if i deactivate it:D

Also theyre saying the new adw in the market runs much smoother....i think ill give these both a try ;)
[G1 General] lbcoder:
Are you trying to be funny?

You see the front of your phone? There's some BUTTONS on it. You see the GREEN one? THAT is the **ANSWER** button. Try using it next time your phone makes that weird "ringing" sound.
[G1 General] :
Didn't do anything.
[G1 General] gringo69:
well i deactivated both and updated the adw launcher to the new one in the market.....my home screen doesnt have to reload as much as it did before....

dont know which one helped....but its better than b4 so no complaints from me ;)
