Also when I add any skins not designed for landscape rose they work fine in portrait but revert to the slate skin in landscape even if I don't have it installed perhaps that has something to do with those error messages
[Droid Incredible Android Development] NilsP:
Try installing the standard/stock flip clock in post 3.

Themes don't play well with themed clocks like mine
[Droid Incredible Android Development] aostl:
I do have standard one installed. This happens on all z roms. Always reverts to slate in landscape. I was suggesting that might b why that guy who posted above sees all those error messages
[Droid Incredible Android Development] NilsP:
Maybe I need to update the standard clock. I will also take a look at slate and see if it is doing something strange.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] NilsP:
I updated the standard clock in post 3 if anyone wants to give it a try and see if it helps.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] aostl:
I will after work. I don't think it will help though. I should have been more clear on my post. The skins you can download from HTC hub work fine in landscape. It's the ones you download from xda that revert to slate in landscape even if its not installed. Ie obsessed, tron sense etc...
[Droid Incredible Android Development] NilsP:
Ahhh. I hear you. Thanks
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Cincybearcatfan:
Nils you need to update your main page "known issues" with "phantom calls". I spent the time to put this on my phone because it wasn't listed as an issue. I made 2 calls with it. BOTH calls were interrupted where it "beeped" went dead, then came back after about 10-15 seconds. I flashed SkyRaider back.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] gadget!:
Most of the modified skins available don't support landscape. When the developer made them, if he didn't take the time to skin the landscape images they will have the landscape clock from whatever skin they used as a base for thiers.

I have made several that do, you can find them by clicking the link in my signature.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] aostl:
FYI if its a z Rom, it has phantom calls. I've tried them all. They all do it. It is after all a cdma phone running a gsm Rom. Unless the op of a Rom announces "phantom call issue fixed" or something.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] aostl:
srry double post
[Droid Incredible Android Development] aostl:
Now I look at my error logs and all I see are repeated:

"unable to add skin resdir=/system/app/slate.apk"

What is that??[/QUOTE]

This post is why I was mentioning the slate skin. It was intended as a possible explanation for the guy who posted this not as a compliant/bug report from me. I just noticed that whenever I have one of the skins with no landscape and use landscape mode it applies the slate dockbar and sometimes the widgets even if I don't have slate installed.

And that's awesome gadget I'm gonna check out those skins now!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] NilsP:
I didn't post it as a known issue since I have not seen one in a long time and had done extensive work with the dialer and phone so I was being hopeful. Also, not many people are commenting on it lately so I stopped worrying about it.

Strange that you had the same amount in one boot that I had since my first release (2). At least it comes back and is not a completely dropped call like in earlier versions of the Incredible.

You also got it worse since it is typically 2 to 3 seconds.

Sorry if it disappointed you.

Point me to the transitions you like and I will see what I can do.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] texanaustinite:
I have used 3 Z-roms and never had a 'phantom call'. I had random reboots with other Z Roms that were probably kernel related, but never a phantom call.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] NilsP:
I believe it is one of those "Your Mileage May Vary" situations. I have only had 2 in all the time I am tinkering with this.

There is the potential it is radio related but for the life of me I can't remember what radio I was on when I had the 2
[Droid Incredible Android Development] aostl:
I don't know of a forum about them, but some examples of roms that have them are uncommon sense and super z. Let me see what I can find.

Nils -

I haven't had a phantom call on my phone since I removed my task killer and started using a cache cleaner. So on 4.4 and 4.5 I have had 0 phantom calls.

Great job - and please don't let others deter your development of this ROM. It is by far one of the most stable and feature-rich ROM I have used.

Keep up the good work!!

By the way, I think new clockwork doesn't play well with ROM manager. I had some major issues trying to do a restore. I had inadvertently deleted the HTC Clock and couldn't get it back so I went to restore --- none of them worked until I manually wiped my phone in Clockwork before running the restore. I think I might stick with the old clockwork for awhile, seems alot more stable for now.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] strike3:
Nils -

Don't know if this is a known issue but something "bugged" me just now.

When I dial *228 for Verizon programming or try to dial into voicemail.....

the dialpad is inactive. I can press keys, the numbers show up, but they are not recognized by the programming or voicemail system. I am assuming I would have the same issue for telephone banking....

Is there a fix?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jbh00jh:

I think nils should get a thunderbolt lol. Cmon please?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] NilsP:
Thanks

All in all CWM 3 is working OK for me. Nand backups made with v3 work OK but restoring from a v2 Nand does not work so well. Although I have heard a few people have had the same problem you have.

Has anyone else noticed how long mounts take in recovery with v3. Seems to take about 15 to 20 seconds.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] NilsP:
Funny you mention this. I have been thinking of upgrading one of my phones but not sure what I want. But I can tell you it's not a stinkin iPhone :D
[Droid Incredible Android Development] aostl:
Haha agreed:) Im dead set on a thunderbolt. I love my incredible and the thunderbolt is a bigger, faster inc with 4g and the base for my favorite Roms installed stock. Thunderbolt business sense would be sick
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jbh00jh:
The Thunderbolt had a quadrant score of 1950 in the Wirefly test on youtube. Gonna be a fast phone and will get better since it is already rooted.

+1 would be sick with Business Sense.

What is "/data/system/dropbox" used for?

As I don't use dropbox, is anything using dropbox?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] NilsP:
You don't really need it I just have always included it just incase I ever got around to making the ROM available via drop box..

All the contents of your Dropbox are available for viewing online. You can even stream music and movies in your Dropbox straight to your Android. Upload photos from your Android and email its public link to a friend in less than a minute.

Sorry if this was covered already in the thread, but my wife stole the computer today so all i have is my phone to read through the forum.

I like the ROM a lot, but it doesn't seem like anything us updating automatically. The weather won't show up in the sense clock, and friendstream won't update on its own. Anyone else have this? Also i switched to this ROM from CM 7 because i was getting random reboots and bootloops out the butt, but i still get it on this ROM and another one i tried. Can't figure it out. i have fixed the permissions, and deleted some apps but i still get it all the time.

Any way to get vvm to work? It works fine on the latest release from incdoes
[Droid Incredible Android Development] NilsP:
It is in 1.1

This file is it \system\usr\keylayout\curcial-oj.kl
[Droid Incredible Android Development] NilsP:
It was not in his 1.1 version so I will have to look into it.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] le0.br4zuc4:
Was not on v1.1 but if download from the market it would work just fine. Now if I download from the market won't get to the screen to enter my password, before it tells me that my phone already has built-in vvm and I'm suppose to use that one.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] mygraine:
Same problem for me, and VVM is unfortunately something that I feel I need. Plz to VVM fix? Other than that (which seems to be a personal thing for some people) wonderful work and thank you for picking up this project!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] caifan:
I recall a build.prop fix to allow installation of VVM on the IncDoes thread. I tried it an it worked, but I had problems with the Market VVM; it kept freezing on me and was very slow. I had to reboot several times. That was the deal-breaker for me, so I abandoned the IncDoes Z port. A good fix here would definitely get me back on this rom. I love the New Sense.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] RegnierD:
I believe I read somewhere that fixing VVM is possible by using the stock messaging app for the Incredible. You could try pulling the apk from a rom that has it or beg someone that already has it to post it. I could be wrong, but there's no harm in trying as long as you do a Nandroid first. Give it a shot.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] mygraine:
I am prolly doing it wrong, but i pulled the stock app from redemptive and tried to install it, with no luck. I may need to tried some of that ADB stuff that I try to avoid at all costs.........
[Droid Incredible Android Development] RegnierD:
I think Redemptive has the EVO mms app. Try pulling it from Redemption. You could ADB, or probably just uninstall your current one with Titanium Backup, reboot, and install the new one.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] mygraine:
Will do, I dont know why I didnt think to uninstall the current one...(doh). Thanks for your help in this situation. I really want to use this rom and VVM is the only thing stopping me.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] RegnierD:
You bet.

I'm pretty sure I'm right, but if not, maybe Nils can roll out support for it.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] mygraine:
no go. i have the vvm icon but it fc's and the whole messaging app fc's as well..

no go with the EVO message app either.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] RegnierD:
Hmmm, that's bizarre. Maybe because the Z isn't a Verizon phone or framework clashes with the app. My only other suggestion would be trying an adb push.

Sorry to hear it didn't work out.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] NilsP:
I have the Camcorder fixed thanks to gmichaelow and smwoodward. Between them I got it to work for everything below 720p.

I will be posting a new release tomorrow after I finish testing and check out the VVM situation.

In the mean time you can try the fix from smwoodward which should work on v1.1 with the stock kernel (Maybe others).

[Droid Incredible Android Development] mygraine:
Thanks anyhow, I flashed the original from Virtuous using Rom Manager, so I dont really think that ADB push will be any better. But I do hope that someone proves me wrong, at any rate, I will just have to keep checking back to see if anyone finds the fix that I am looking for. Thanks again for you help!

Battery Indicator from MIUI?

Thanks so much for this ROM. I use it one week, then flip to the latest from MIUI. I don't usually have such a hard time settling on something.

Could you have a look at MIUI's Top-Bar Battery indicator? It's a thin line across the very top of the screen, proportional in length to the battery's charge percentage.

If charging, little dots come in from the right, as if adding to the length of the bar. I don't need to see a percentage number, this visual indicator suffices, and frees up some space up the notification bar for other information.

If you agree, and there's no impediment to importing it, I'd love to see it in one of your next releases.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] NilsP:
Could you find me a screenshot and I will see what can be done
[Droid Incredible Android Development] NilsP:
I posted version 4.6 for both CWM versions 2 and 3 a couple of days ago. The main change is fixing the ClockWorkMod V3 install. Follow install instructions carefully.

Version 4.6

Updated news sites

Removed Easy Answer Button (Causing missed calls)

Fixed up CWM v3 script (See install instructions)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jbh00jh:
So far 4.6 is working fine for me.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] NilsP:
Great. Thanks for sticking with me
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jpradley:
Here's a landscape shot showing the top-bar battery indicator. The picture was taken with the battery at 36% of full charge. I hope you can notice a little green spot or dot just above and to the right of the 12:26. When the charger is connected, these little dots flow in from the right at approx. a 2-second interval, to indicate something being "added" to the green bar.

You mean the old sense? Or the htc skin?

I was just going to ask the same question. You support this ROM better than I do :D

If the answer is un-themed then that is a lot of work since it touches on many apk's

I'm sorry I should have been more specific, I meant the stock HTC sense skin (unthemed)

Since I never intended it to be un-themed I have not saved any of my originals. Plus the originals did not have landscape in them so it will be a lot of work. I will see what I can do but it may take awhile.

On the other hand the biggest change was the clock and that is available in post #3

You could also pull Rosie.apk from one of the other Z ROM's that still has the stock bottom bar that may work

If I do it that is the way I will do it unless it turns out easier to do a fresh ROM.

You can experimant with the Slate.apk and copy and replace all the graphics in it from a stock version of the Rosie, HTC and Google framework files.

Try the Rosie from warm. I forget how much he modded it but it is from a later framework then Incdoes' original
[Droid Incredible Android Development] incubus26jc:
Hey nils, can you remove all the changes you made to this rom? Its awesome other than that. lol kidding.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] NilsP:
I hear ya...:D
[Droid Incredible Android Development] mothy:
Nils I apologize if I didn't sound appreciative. I love the ROM and I was wanting to go Sense again after getting tired of CM7.

Thanks
[Droid Incredible Android Development] NilsP:
No, No, No problem not taken that way

I might help with a little background. When the ROM was first ported by IncDoes it was completely stock (no theme) based on the first release of the desire Z. He got it working and passed it on to the community so then a couple of us embarked on developing it from a later version of the framework and tried to add a different user experience with theming and fix some of the problems from the first port. For example I already had a Business Sense based on the stock ROM which was themed it like this. So, it was logical (for me anyway) to theme a Desire Z for my stock ROM followers with the same basic apps.

Incubus and Myn also had a Warm semi stock ROM and simultaneously went on to do the same thing I did. Then others followed. Now you have choices however, there is no completely stock theme version.

In hindsight I may have stuck with stock graphics and made a Business Sense skin if I knew how they worked at the time.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] mothy:
NP thanks!!!!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] davidw2k4:
Well I guess since some of us who are asking for a stock skin it seems like some others see it as not being appreciative...

Sent from my Warm Z Incredible
[Droid Incredible Android Development] incubus26jc:
nah, i was just kidding around.. it's just that some people dont understand what it would take to make it be stock again. It would basically be asking that he undo alot that he has done. It is possible dont get me wrong, it would just take a huge amount of time just for one update. I believe wes's superz rom is pretty close to stock. But nils has put a great deal of effort into his rom as well. I'm sure your appreciative.

Im not saying your not. Just wanting people to be aware of what they are actually asking of him.

Lets not start a back and fourth, Its not what i intended. Sorry nils
[Droid Incredible Android Development] davidw2k4:
