[Captivate Themes and Apps] TheFurriousD:
I would like to almost completely replace the stock messages app. My dilema is that I really enjoy the stock notifications for the stock messages app, but how handcent is set up better than the stock app. I have the notifications turned off in handcent and the notifications on for the stock app. But this makes it when I read the message with hand cent it doesn't mark the message as read in the stock app thus the notification stays up in the status bar until I clear it manually, which is becoming annoying. So the only way I can think of to fix this since I could not find a setting to mark them as read, would be to take all of handcent files except the notification settings and use them to replace the s app files. Or if someone could tell me how to theme/skin the standard messaging app that would work as well. A third option would be to find a way to make handcent mark the text as read in the stock app. Hopefully someone can help me figure how to do this out provide with an easier way. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] imeraz:
What exactly do u mean by notifications? Do you mean the icons? if that's what you mean you can change the notification icons in handcent.

Here's how:

1. In the main handcent screen hit menu and go to settings

2. Go to notification settings

3. click on notification settings again

4. Go to notification icon

5. Choose your icon and enjoy!

I believe some of the icons in there look the same as the stock icon. And to keep from getting two notifications disable the notifications in the stock app. Not sure if this is exactly what you were asking about but hope it helps.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] TheFurriousD:
I appreciate the response, but what I'm really going for is the wile puzzle piece unlock thing. I have it set up now to where it works so I get the puzzle piece and then launch into handcent but since I have to have the notifications through the stock app to get the puzzle piece to work the status bar icons stay there until I clear them manually because handcent doesn't mark the text messages as read in the native app.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] imeraz:
I see. I use the pattern unlock on my phone so i wouldn't know how to change that. I'm sure a dev could probably figure that out for you. Sorry i couldn't be more helpful. Good luck.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] matt310:
^Agree with OP. Would love the functionality of Handcent but retain the puzzle piece notification, since it's a nice touch and the visual eye candy enhances the overall experience.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Dave the Knave:
The only thing I use Handcent for is the popup notification window when I get a new text so I send a quick reply and put the phone back down. For everything else I just use the stock messaging app.

I tried a few other popup notifications for texts but, like has already been said, Handcent is the best so far.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] TheFurriousD:
Yeah I pretty much want to the exact opposite of that. I like the interface of handcent, but I actually don't like the popups or notifications that handcent uses.

I also just put in a feature request on the handcent forum. Asked them to add and option to automatically mark the text as read in standard app or to have the option to use the puzzle piece as the notification in handcent. So we'll see how that goes
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Dave the Knave:
I might have to take back what I said about hancent. Seems as if it managed to delete all of my 3k+ text messages. Not very happy about that.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Pirateghost:
havent seen that happen

i use SMSBackup+ from the market to backup all my SMS to my gmail

makes things WORLDS easier for all my constant rom flashing
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Dave the Knave:
I know it was Handcent cause I looked at the logs and it was the last app to access my texts. I had a clockwork backup from a few days earlier. I got some of my stuff back, but still lost some important ones. I looked at smsbackup but I was a little weary of it having access to my Google account and about how it worked.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] johnfay:
I would love to have this as well. This is exactly what I have been looking for. If you do end up finding this or figuring out how to make it work, could you let me know or lead me in the right direction? Thanks.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] TheFurriousD:
I've learned a lot since I posted this. And to my understanding the puzzle piece thing is part of the touchwiz ui. So it only will work with the Samsung messaging app. The only way to achieve this effect would be to have some one create an entire rom based on this request by using handcent as the default and modifying the touchwiz lock screen to use handcent instead of the Samsung messaging app. Which sucks because this seems like it would be quite tedious but that's my understanding now of the problem but hopefully I'm wrong lol. I kinda gave up on this idea but still if anyone figures out a simple fix to this I would love to know.

[Captivate Themes and Apps] richuwo11:
I also have a question regarding the puzzle piece screen when receiving an sms... Is there any way for the puzzle piece screen to still show up when using Widget Locker? I don't see an option for something like that, but there are options to block popups.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] the818studios:
Oh man would I love this feature!! I think I'm going to have to go back to the stock app because I love the puzzle piece unlock so much. Its just too tedious to unlock the screen and then click on the messaging app (I know that sounds awful hahah) especially if you text ALOT.

I am looking on doing some reviews soon, and was wondering what some of the favorite roms are in the community. I want to know what your favorite Rom is, and if for some reason it isn't on the Incredible then list the device as well. Thanks in advance!
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikeacela:
Some really great Roms for the incredible are

Skyraider, cyqnogenmod, Ruby, Virtuous, and Shadow rom. All these Roms are smooth and fast. I've tried all of them and my favorite is cyanogenmod but I'm running Ruby until they work out all the bugs.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rice247:
I've tried them all except for Ruby. So far SkyRaider 2.5.2 and Virtuous are my favs and most stable for me, plus everything is working. That Desire HD ROM was great too but can't live without a working camera with my 2yr old running around.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dimebagdan65:
FTW!

I can personally vouch for SkyRaider and Redemption ROM as being beyond reproach, and HeyItsLou and Ihtfp69 are both shining examples of what a dev should be, along with Cyanogen and IncredibleDoes of course. Haven't used CM or any of ID's ROMs yet but the work they do speaks for themselves and HeyItsLou and Ihtfp69 both have stellar daily drivers out! You can see what I'm currently running in my signature ^_^
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] koolkidkorey:
sorry if this needs to be in the Q&A forum, but i thought since it was completely about android roms and opinion based, it should go under development. And i have tried most of the listed roms, gonna try redemption soon. been running desirehd port for a few days now, and its my favorite so far, but i would like cam support

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stoney 666:
I've tried them all and every one has something I really like that the others don't but I haven't been able to get away from uncommon sense since beta8. I'll flash an update from the others but that only lasts a couple of hours. The final beta title should be stable imo. It runs perfect... No reboots, fast, everything works including camera. Has a sick app drawer, modded music player... Over all, most stable, and again, still in beta.

i had a weird issue, one specific to this rom, and it ended up being the deal breaker for me

i have a california phone number, but recently moved to the midwest. on EVERY other rom ive used, across two different phones, this hasnt caused an issue, my messages and clls all read the right time. however on this one, my recieved texts messages were reading as california time. since the messaging app uses conversation style messaging, i would have to scroll up through two hours of my texts to find a text that i just recieved.

it was insanely annoying. that coupled with the camera killed it for me. i dont use the camera much, but the two in conjunction were just too much.

i tried pushing the old htc messaging app and using that, but no cigar.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] es0tericcha0s:
the verizon tab issue can be fixed easily with some build.prop mods btw. im not familiar enough with the INC yet to give you the changes off the top of my head, but with the eris, the issue was solved by editing the ro.product.name and ro.product.device i believe

I wonder if doing a *228 option 2 would help by setting the proper local tower info for your phone? Have you tried this? I know ID said this was a GSM ROM which confuses me that it works at all (at least from my BB days) but I guess it's quite an apples & oranges comparison for Android OS to BB OS. :)

[Droid Incredible Android Development] tdavis42:
I just wanted to say thank you for writing this review. It is a process to go create a EXT4 partition on an SDCard so I have been hesitant. This is well written and I really hope you take it upon yourself to write more reviews about new roms in the future. I think I might have to check out the next version of this Desire HD rom when he releases it. I can't wait for this to officially show up on our Incredibles in the future and get optimized to our liking by some of these guys.

I have a hypothesis...I'm downloading a premium navigation map update right now.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] xwera43:
It kind of makes sense to me...Sure hope it works! :)

X
[Droid Incredible Android Development] xwera43:
Thanks! :)

The partitioning after reading the command line process was a no go for me. While I would have no trouble doing it, it was just too much work. The fact that ROM Manager was failing was a bummer too but the steps I took were very simple. Being that I had 10GB on my 32GB sdcard was the most time consuming portion (about 20 minutes to back it up from an adapter & an hour to re-write the data). Partitioning was/is pretty easy.

Also, now that the ROM is in ROM Manager, that should be helpful too (even though it's a tad under 200MB).

[Droid Incredible Android Development] xwera43:
I wasn't taken to a premium option, just a simple menu selection of map locations (World wide). Being basically homebound, an additional 800MB+ was just kind of silly. ;)

[Droid Incredible Android Development] dgourd:
Just to help clarify:

This is a DLNA addition to the phone, so it can basically communicate with any other DLNA device. I can confirm that it works since I have a Windows Home Server in my house which supports DLNA. My Incredible can find all my music and videos. It will only display files it supports though. For example, it can play all my mp3 songs and mp4 videos, put my mkv videos are unplayable since it is not natively supported.

Anybody else having issues on 4.0 with streaming audio? Itll work fine for a few minutes and then the cpu usage will max out and the only way to fix this is a battery pull.

Its a shame because the audio on this rom really is noticeably better. The volume output is much stronger and sounds clearer and more dynamic. Until the phone crashes of course.

I'm loving my dinc. The things I don't like are the invisible screen in daylight and the lack of full duplex on the phone. These are 2 major pains in the butt.

1- Can anyone tell me how the new s-lcd screens compare with the amoled?

2- Is it possible to get full duplex?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] linuxmotion:
1. As sites recently have said view compare to about the same. But I can't tell you first hand as mind is amolled.

2. Full duplex is available. Every time you make a call. That is duplexing. The process of sending and receiving information simultaneously. What we want is multiplexing. And as for that I don't know. It could be software, but more likely it's built right into the phone, or that Verizon refuses to multiplex

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marcmarshall:
Thanks for clearing up that terminology. When I use my mic my speaker cuts out. I thought full duplex meant you could use mic and speaker simultaneously. Sounds like your saying that is multiplexing. I don't remember having this problem with my Razr. I was with ATT then also. Maybe this more CDMA bullsh** like no voice and data at the same time.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] linuxmotion:
Yeah I'm pretty sure Verizon stops the multiplexing of both voice and data. I think its bull also but unless they change it were probably sol.

My speaker cuts out a lil when using speaker phone.

Simultaneous voice and data are not enabled. There is a network upgrade that would allow it but I guess they don't plan on doing it. I'm talking about just being able to have the speaker and mic active at the same time on a call!
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] infotechsailor:
you can talk while people are talking to you during normal voice conversations, but why in the h377 would you want to do that , and how would you even test that, during a phone call on speaker phone?

are you trying to go Alec Baldwin on somebody?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] linuxmotion:
So you cannot activate speakerphone during a call and have the Mic receive your voice input. That is a problem if so. Are you running a custom ROM. If you are, you should report it to the maker. If you are running stock ROM Idk could be software or hardware. Has this problem existed since you acquired the phone?
