Umm, custom boot animation + Evanescence = ROM?
[Droid X Android Development] evilkal:
I see... So a custom boot and Launcher Pro renamed.... Excellent..........
[Droid X Android Development] Riztnack:
"Looks" like there is no blur as well!
[Droid X Android Development] dontbehatin45:
same guy that leaked froyo with birdman...id have a little more faith than that:rolleyes:
[Droid X Android Development] MisterKrispy:
First of all, that's ADW Launcher. Completely different than Lancher Pro. Second, if you watc, he chooses the default launcher not ADW. That is what the stock froyo launcher looks like. This means its probably an ASOP Rom. Beautiful stuff there.
[Droid X Android Development] davisbs999:
Sapphire was, in my opinion, a sweet Droid ROM, so I am quite optimistic about this.
[Droid X Android Development] inzandity:
+1

Can't wait!
[Droid X Android Development] mbh87:
It will indeed be a vanilla rom. Birdman is also coming out with a couple and so is ChevyNo1 and possibly UD.
[Droid X Android Development] Irishpride:
Here's a little more info on the Obsidian ROM.

http://www.ccroms.net/drupal/
[Droid X Android Development] Casshern:
"Obsidian is our previously secret project for making a rom for the Droid X. With this proof of concept we hope to be able to ask our friends and Droid X hopefuls to help us get a Droid X to develop on. We have done this before, and with the coming release of Ruby we are making good on our promise that was previously made to produce a rom on a new device. So we are once again asking, help us get a Droid X so that we can produce a rom for the Droid X, and hopefully we will be the first!

Any amount no matter how small is welcome and appreciated! Thank you in advance! Donate Link Specifically for the Droid X

Proof of concept video below:"

Sketchy. A Droid X to develop on, yet there is one in the video running this "proof of concept"? Money is required to further the cause? I'm not swayed yet.
[Droid X Android Development] Irishpride:
These guys are pretty well known in the dev community and are the makers of the Sapphire ROM for the Droid1, I really doubt they are doing anything "sketchy". Also, what makes you think that they don't know anyone that owns at DX? They are asking for donations so they have their own DX to develop ROMs on for us.
[Droid X Android Development] Gimpeh:
^Jake Dayish!!!
[Droid X Android Development] davisbs999:
I agree. My positive prior experience with Sapphire gives me a bit of confidence in these guys. However, the whole jake day DI root fiasco reinforced why I don't donate until an actual working product or service is available
[Droid X Android Development] sp1kez:
Lookslike everybody is following the alldroid/birdman method

Tease something people want, ask for donations, then not release anything
[Droid X Android Development] inzandity:
Most of the significant stuff has come from birdman...root anyone?
[Droid X Android Development] mbh87:
I fixed that for you.
[Droid X Android Development] hijackerjack:
Im gonna have to go with the you all are pretty retarded option.

Plus, that video was from P3Droid.. a quite reliable source... aka the one who brought everyone Froyo and also almost all of the Droid leaks.

Plus, Rainabba and Birdman, also AllDroid in general didnt do **** so stop talking **** about everyone. Yes they teased FlyX rom, no they didnt ask for donations, and they didnt release anything due to bugs. Learn your facts.
[Droid X Android Development] Gimpeh:
lol, The intern3tz!
[Droid X Android Development] evilkal:
Don't care what they've done in the past. I'll believe it when I see it heh
[Droid X Android Development] Breezer23:
Still no custom kernals though :(
[Droid X Android Development] Casshern:
This might be true, however: Hey, let me borrow your Droid X so I can throw this proof of concept on it? Also. You can get the Droid X emulator files from Motorola. I hate to be a down train on such an open community, that I do love so very much, but the proof of concept video is a majority of an intro screen. Big M. Then a sparkling gem. A box pops up asking for ADW or Home. There is very little action seen beyond that. You also see what appears to be the stock Droid X background in the picture, with no icons on it and a white stock task bar, after ADW is loaded.

I said what I said based on what I see here. What's presented currently can't sway a firm belief, let alone me cracking my wallet, until something of greater value or an alpha is dropped. If you can proof of concept it, you can alpha it imo.
[Droid X Android Development] Irishpride:
You may want to take a look at the video again, he doesn't click on ADW, he clicks Launcher, and then it goes into the Vanilla Froyo home screen, like whats on the D1 and Nexus.
[Droid X Android Development] Casshern:
I'm having trouble discerning this tbqh.

Either way. Here you go:
[Droid X Android Development] :
Whether it is genuine or not, doesnt matter. All I know is the last thing I am going to do is flash a rom to my $600 device from a "Dev" that DOESNT EVEN OWN ONE. Just becuase its P3 doesnt mean squat, you have to treat these things objectively and right now there is absolutely no reason to believe this is anything more than a money grab.
[Droid X Android Development] Irishpride:
What exactly are you having trouble discerning? You guys just seem to me like a couple of haters.
[Droid X Android Development] thepolishguy:
I have flashed plenty of Energy roms to my Imagio and Energy does not own an Imagio. No problems. Just saying.
[Droid X Android Development] Gimpeh:
This front has been quiet for some time. Any news?
[Droid X Android Development] dubbingt:
There has been a minor update regarding this rom. I was checking out the droidxforums and there is an update since they stickied an official roms thread.

http://www.droidxforums.com/forum/droid-x-roms/9044-droid-x-roms-here.html

It still states its a work in progress but if you go to his site you can see hes uploaded 2 new videos showing some progress.
[Droid X Android Development] Gimpeh:
Just watched the two new videos. Very promising.

:O

Where's the damn link on that page?!

http://ccroms.net/drupal/
[Droid X Android Development] Ubermicro13:
"Obsidian"...even the name is badass
[Droid X Android Development] murryrulz:
Agreed... I can't find the damn link either. Am i going crazy or is he just messing with us ;)

But yea I would love to get this on my X
[Droid X Android Development] gunkle:
I think the reference was for the other rom he mentioned not our x's. There is a download for the others
[Droid X Android Development] RaptorMD:
I like the concept, I am willing to put up some cash to help the cause. I wonder how far they are from having enough to get a DX?
[Droid X Android Development] narsciso:
Ever since I've heard about this AOSP rom I've wanted it. It seems like it's taking forever for it to surface. I really hope that CVPCS is still working on it and that the wait will be worth it.

I'm also curious as to how this will be different than Fission?
[Droid X Android Development] jdaud:
His tweets a couple of hours ago said he was starting work on it again and that barring any issues maybe around 2 weeks
[Droid X Android Development] narsciso:
Nice man! This gets me pretty hype. Hopefully I see this before the end of November. I wouldn't care if I had to pay to run an AOSP on my DroidX.
[Droid X Android Development] blackdraggin:
this rom is taking forever ever...makes me a sad panda...hopefully before christmas??? be an awesome present to us all thats been waiting
[Droid X Android Development] Ubermicro13:
His tweets a couple of hours ago said he was starting work on it again and that barring any issues maybe around 2 weeks

You wouldn't happen to have a source handy would you? This is the Internet...
[Droid X Android Development] Aggie12:
A reeeaaally quick google search brought me straight to his twitter. This is the Internet...
[Droid X Android Development] Ubermicro13:
Why thank you good sir.
[Droid X Android Development] blackdraggin:
sweet, thx for the tweet link
[Droid X Android Development] kejar31:
Update at http://ccroms.net/drupal/ looks like we may get an unstable release before Thanksgiving!
[Droid X Android Development] Ubermicro13:
W00t W00t!!! Thank you for the info!
[Droid X Android Development] RaptorMD:
I still have cash for the cause. I know there are lots of hot phones coming out, but in reality I am going to get the DX again tomorrow and ride on through until LTE is full up and the best phones are out with LTE to upgrade.

I'm a working stiff like the rest but I WILL put my money where the ROM is.
[Droid X Android Development] Joe92T:
Sorry if this is uninformed, but what's the point of this rom anymore?

We can't change the kernal, therefore all we can work with is a rom itself.. I know this is "built from source" but I can't see things getting much more vanilla then they already are with fission and rubix.. Atleast not enough changes to make it worth it...

I kinda feel sorry for the guy because he's been working on an aosp rom for months.. Then some random guys find a vanilla rom that actually works on the DX and get it working in like two days (fission/rubix port)
[Droid X Android Development] kejar31:
Fission and Rubix are not AOSP.... If you dig around in those roms you would understand better.

A true AOSP would give us a much, much better base to build from. Customizations would no longer be modification of the current build but completely new builds from source.

If he pulls this off, I would be happy to donate to that team at least $100 of my hard earned money... That's how important it is to me.
[Droid X Android Development] drod2169:
He didn't say they were, he said vanilla ;)

Yes, you're correct.

It seems, though, like every AOSP rom I've come across has had the same exact issues, with the bugs being giant head pounders (I know, I've been working on it for a few weeks now)
[Droid X Android Development] kejar31:
Sorry wasn't insulting Fission or RubiX.. They are what I use at the moment and I love them! :cool:

Yea, I have been following the progress on one AOSP lately and see that the bugs are definitely difficult but I trust you guys will figure them out ;)
[Droid X Android Development] imronburgundy:
I wish I could do the same, but my wife would kill me if I paid $100 for a rom on my phone. (she just doesn't understand)
[Droid X Android Development] benjimatt:
Obsidian........Where are you :( ??????? I waited all of thanksgiving and now its black friday :confused:
[Droid X Android Development] kejar31:
Tweeted by CVPCS on 11/23

"Turkey release will most likely be pushed back, but we have narrowed down the cause of the audio problems with obsidian, trying to clean it"
[Droid X Android Development] Ubermicro13:
I'm a sad panda :(:(:(:(
[Droid X Android Development] RaptorMD:
Thanks for the update, I would prefer a working ROM than one with issues.
[Droid X Android Development] droid2501:
Your response got me curious. What kind of customizations are you referring to? I assume it's something more than custom themes, right?

Please excuse me if the answer to this question is obvious, I'm new to the android scene :(
[Droid X Android Development] Joe92T:
Thanksgivings gone.. Now a month has passed and its xmas and still no update
[Droid X Android Development] joebob296:
Why don't you just check out his twitter cvpcs he said its going to be released within the holidays.
[Droid X Android Development] Gimpeh:
That was many weeks ago and there has been no update since. I sure hope it happens though.
[Droid X Android Development] joebob296:
Read his twitter now. Should be coming very soon.
[Droid X Android Development] Gimpeh:
Can you provide a link? I stopped following awhile back.

Thanks. I am following him now. Looks like hes working pretty hard on it. I'm kinda excited now.
[Droid X Android Development] Gimpeh:
Won't be long now.
[Droid X Android Development] judasmachine:
Curious to how buggy it will be. His last tweet wasn't encouraging in that department.
[Droid X Android Development] Gimpeh:
Couldn't be worse than matts compilation, epicrom.
[Droid X Android Development] Mortalys77:
"GEM update: Obsidian/Tanzanite in BETA, Sapphire/Ruby built and ready to go, Emerald pissing me off. Expect a release within 48 hours :D"

-@cvpcs

I'm pumped.
[Droid X Android Development] sniffle:
hey guys, we should be releasing obsidian tonight
[Droid X Android Development] sniffle:
there are a few bugs still like camcorder not working but otherwise it is a fully stable build
[Droid X Android Development] imronburgundy:
Saweeet!
[Droid X Android Development] sniffle:
well crap, couldn't get the EVO tested, we release tomorrow sorry to get your hopes up... look for it tomorrow afternoon...
[Droid X Android Development] pCarson92:
Excuse my ignorance, but how is this different from other ROMs such as GummyJAR or ApeX? I'm fairly new to the Android ROM scene, and have recently flashed ApeX to my phone. I have tried to do some research on Obsidian, but all I can really find is that YouTube video showing it booting, which doesn't tell me much. Thanks in advance.
[Droid X Android Development] milan616:
This is completely as I understand it, but I think it's as follows:

Apex is still Blur based.

Fission is built off of almost Blur-less Droid 2 source (Tranquility too I think).

GummyJAR is almost completely AOSP (RubiX is based off GummyJAR now).

Obsidian is supposed to be 100% AOSP.
[Droid X Android Development] pCarson92:
AOSP meaning a build of Android that would come on the Nexus S, correct? Just straight Android with no manufacturer BS?
[Droid X Android Development] milan616:
AOSP = Android Open Source Project. What the manufacturers start with and stick their dirty hands in! In our case it's Android 2.2.1 (The Nexus S was released with Android 2.3). It's the base system, minus proprietary hardware drivers.
[Droid X Android Development] pCarson92:
Thanks, that's what I thought. Is Obsidian supposed to be skinned like Gingerbread? That is one feature I find very enticing about most ROMs- I love the look of 2.3.
[Droid X Android Development] Breezer23:
Still doesn't bypass the bootloader, etc., right? What's the catch with this ROM?? I'm just curious as these ROMs only became popular after I got rid of my DROID1
[Droid X Android Development] Gimpeh:
It actually tricks the bootloader into loading a seperate hack loader so technically speaking...it does get past this problem making true AOSP and custom kernels possible. Cyanogen anyone?
[Droid X Android Development] xxDriveNxx:
That, and by the sounds of it this makes a Gingerbread port quite possible.
[Droid X Android Development] Breezer23:
Miuiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii
[Droid X Android Development] milan616:
Doesn't sound like that from his tweets.

"@BlairAlton no. We are still locked into the provided kernel. When I say true aosp I'm referring to system source, not kernel source" - http://twitter.com/cvpcs/status/19669554858827776
[Droid X Android Development] will2live:
That is incorrect, we are still stuck with the mfg supplied kernel. With the bootloader still locked custom kernels can NOT be made and put into a custom ROM for use on the X. Same goes for the D2, PRO, D2g...etc ( ie anything with the locked bootloader)

The only Moto device that can use a custom kernel are developmental devices that are unsecured.
[Droid X Android Development] acidbath5546:
Yep you guys are %100 percent correct.

I am @BlairAlton and thought maybe for a second he had found a way to bypass that why I asked him...but still no go...we are more than likely always gonna be locked out with custom kernels.

But that life right? Live and learn and wait for the next HTC Verizon Android :)
[Droid X Android Development] milan616:
Bingo! I <3 Moto's build quality, but I'm going to whoever is easiest to mod next time around. (Though if HTC doesn't include a goddamn notification LED we're going to have problems! :mad: )
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] rmourar:
Hi guys, I have a rooted x10a with 026 firmware and whenever I open setCPU and try to configure the screen just goes black and nothing else happens...

I've emailed the developer but had no answer so far so I'm turning to you guys, can anyone help me up??
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] xGary:
Did you get the superuser prompt and did you allow it to have superuser stats?

Gary~
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] rmourar:
It doesn't even goes this far...

the screen goes black when the su permission request is supposed to come up...
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] D-Trixxx:
No problem here...the widget wreaks havoc though...since I removed it I no longer have ADWLauncher no longer FC's.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] rmourar:
Doesn't anyone have any kind of sugestions????:(

Even a way to talk to the developer that he answers to would make me happy...

Thanks anyway guys!
[Desire General] janeku:
Someone has this idea too ? To put recycle bin as icon-program on HTC desire ???
[Desire General] AndroHero:
android dosent use a recyle bin :confused:
[Desire General] dik23:
I think he's suggesting someone invent one
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GatorsUF:
is there a way to make Handcent compress the video? If I take a video I like the ability to take good quality, but when I do the videos are too large to be sent via MMS. Is there any way to fix this?
[HD2 General] Shwanz:
First off, i did use the search on the forum and didnt find any clues! :/

google search terms were:

+hd2 +leo insert picture message email slow storage card site:http://xdaforums.com

My problem is whenever i need to attach pictures to an email i take ages because accessing the pictures folder on storage card from "tmail.exe" is extremely SLOW! And on top of that i need to do it ONE by ONE! (i only have about 100 pics)

Is it my HD2 or it happens with you guys too? Is there any solution or way around it? I tried to see if there was any CACHE tweak for this problem but with no sucess!

Thanks in advance for all your anwsers!
[HD2 General] ronzogonzo:
instead of attaching a pic to an email, go to the picture u want, tap the screen once, tap on the double arrows icon,which gives u the email option, go from there.
[HD2 General] Shwanz:
Yes...but the problem persists if you want to add more than one picture...! Yesterday i took 5 minutes to add 6 pics...and i didnt even wait for the thumbnail to show, nor needed to scroll down the list or else i would have wasted several "5 minutes"....:confused:
[HD2 General] bronx:
ok. listen. it is quite simple...

open album, stay in thumbnail mode, press 'menu' (right onscreen soft key), 'share', 'mail', select pictures by pressing their thumbnail, 'ok' (left soft key).

how cool is that?? ;)
[HD2 General] Shwanz:
THAT IS VERY COOL!!! :D Thanks a lot...!!!

I just dont understand why cant we access with this ease, through mail app itself! But ok..this workaround suits me (and everybody, i think..:))!!!
[Streak 5 General] Cypher84:
Hi all, just throwing this out there as I have had no luck anywhere. My streak is now looking mighty shabby since I dropped it once couple weeks after I got it, and again had a nasty fall yesterday from waist height onto paving with force and this scraped up the side quite bad and split the top earpiece part. Ive seen a dissasembly of the streak on a tech site and they claim its super easy to dismantle, 5 screws and some prying, and I assume Dell would rip me off a treat if I send it off. So if anyone can or knows where to get a replacement housing, mainly the plastic surround and the bits above and below the screen please give me a shout or post here and I will be forever greatfull.
[Streak 5 General] lufc:
Not seen a Housing any where on the net,its so new things like that have not filtered through yet i would say your best bet is to see if a broken one comes on ebay or have you tried dell to see how much they would charge :)
[Streak 5 General] SandyB:
As long as it's only the back and side housing you need, something might come up in the future. As already said, it's new and replacement cases take a while to come through...if at all.

The Gorilla Glass and the screen are glued together though, so replacing that would need to be done by Dell. As you'd need a replacement screen and the Gorilla Glass glued to it.
[Streak 5 General] Troute:
Do those form fitting covers come in solid colours or just clear? might be a relatively cheap temporary solution.
[Streak 5 General] Troute:
Posted on the pocketables forum

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003F2WZKI/ref=ox_ya_os_product
[Streak 5 General] Cypher84:
Thanks I might give that a shot in the meantime, would cover up the damage nicely. I will email Dell see how much they would want anyway...

Guess I will have to wait till people start leaking OEM parts or stripping broken phones, never get the knock offs theyre always a really poor fit.
[Streak 5 General] Kohawk09:
I'd steer clear of that skin - per a couple posts in the 'Accessories' section, doesn't seem like a reliable Amazon seller...

[Can't post links yet... but take a look in the Accessories section.]
[Streak 5 General] coreth5:
I'd stay clear of that skin as well. As far as I can see it covers up the proximity sensors and the front video camera.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iLLestCoW:
hey guys i must have flashed something wrong because the phone is now stuck in that screen. I went into recovery and wiped everything. I also hit " clear storage" after booting with the volume up method. whats going on?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iLLestCoW:
it says Build:not set in recovery but I dont have any roms on sd card right now to flash
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iLLestCoW:
nvm guys got it to work. toggled usb through recovery.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] omarneg:
I think I am having a similar problem. What exactly did you do to fix it?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cesarcerros31:
Happenened to me try flashing a rom what I thought was there was no rom to load so it was stuck on the HTC evo 4g screen

Sent from my soon to be gingerbread evolution 4g
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nextlevel2k1:
I'm having the same issue. What did you do exactly?
[Epic 4G General] Jsimon9633:
:D

Here is to hoping the dev community quickly upgrades the Epic to froyo!

glad to be here
[Epic 4G General] hydralisk:
If they do, it will be missing 4G (amongst other things) until Samsung upgrades it themselves. But I think you made a good move.
[Epic 4G General] koolhand79:
I hope you enjoy the Epic more than the Evo. Im hanging onto my Evo until i get the Epic in hand and have a day or two to play with it. If all goes as expected then the Evo will be my girlfriends phone
[Epic 4G General] smashpunks:
Good choice . I have the vibrant and I love it. Good to see another sgs phone released ...
[Epic 4G General] ghostrid3r:
Well played Sir.... ;)
[Epic 4G General] rawsoup:
how much did returning your evo go towards getting your epic?
[Epic 4G General] Jsimon9633:
Wel luckily I was within my 3 days of buying my evo (bought it July 30th) at best buy. So I returned it and went ahead and preordered the epic too.

So I'll just have to pay the 50+ tax difference

Can't wait til Tuesday !
[Epic 4G General] NeonMonster:
Congrats on making the switch! The EVO really never did it for me. Don't like the phones accent color, Sense UI, and the layout of the capacitive buttons.

The Epic shall be EPIC!!! :D
[Epic 4G General] lordcyrus:
This is exactly what I'm doing, except I'm just getting the Epic regardless. My girl really wants the EVO so, good for me d'.'d
[Epic 4G General] Jsimon9633:
Speaking off best buy basically said I was only like the 5th preorder

Man is samsung or sprint screwing this launch up? I get worried because if it flops will that mean little Dev support (custom roms) or samsung official support like software updates?
[Epic 4G General] lordcyrus:
Stupid doublepost.
