Coupla Questions:

Just some random questions in case anyone has any thoughts:

1) The Evo had an app (possibly email) which turned the camera on so you could see what was in front of you while you typed. Basically, the live camera became the background. Any way to get such an app on this ROM?

2) Why does the phone freeze (not just delay, totally frozen) while charging? If I unplug the charger, phone is instantly responsive. While charged, nothing I can do on the screen will take. Power button brings on the screen, but can't swipe to unlock (as screen touches don't process). If the phone was 'live' when it was plugged in, no action can be taken (as screen touches don't process), and it will eventually go to sleep. Again, pulling the plug = instant revival.

Thanks!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] terrencegf:
There is a keyboard replacement called Ultra Keyboard which provides a camera view while you type. It also does Swype. I have never used the camera feature, but I use the Swype feature all the time.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] sk806:
Mine doesn't freeze when charging. Has anyone else had this happen?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] 5thAgent:
I haven't had a freeze while charging... :/ Have you tried a dalvik wipe and a fix permissions?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] TheWhiteBandito:
I have never ran into that issue. Maybe there wasn't a full wipe before and something is interfering now. I would suggest a full wipe and reinstall
[Droid Incredible Android Development] sk806:
The scripts for car home and friendtream are attached in a zip. Unzip, copy to sdcard/gscript/ and load them into the gscript lite program. This ROM did not come with tweetdeck, so I am not sure what's going on there. Bad wipe, maybe? I know some virtuous users have had programs remain even after a full wipe (not sure why, exactly), so you may want to read back a bit (or search thread for "virtuous buddy," as I think that program was an issue)

Looks like some of your other questions were answered, but I'll repeat:

1.The Evo camera has the same name and icon. It just will look different due to the on-screen shutter button.

2. I have attached a zip for the circle battery mod (icons from Devildog). However, if you're interested, Devildog's themes thread has one that includes color menus, as well. Please follow the link in the OP under "Notes," and then download the color menus zip (first one).

3. I am planning on sending a request to koush re Rom Manager. It would be nice.

Hope these help.

Still sporting this awesome ROM!

Had something odd come up though. I applied a MM theme (flyin animations), which I have applied to about 7 other ROMs without issue. This time, however, upon reboot I had lost all of my sync accounts (Google, Flickr, FB, etc). Don't know if this is ROM specific, or something else. The flyin animations applied successfully and didn't mess anything else up. Rocking the BnB theme if that makes any difference.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] sk806:
This is because your framework-res.apk was replaced. I am not sure why it deleted your accounts, but that sometimes happens. I am trying to keep this from happening in the future.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Epicardium:
Thanks for the response. I knew it did something to the framework-res, but I'm still pretty clueless what all that affects. I can't tell that anything else was altered negatively, so once I restored my accounts I was good-to-go. No big deal...just an annoyance.

Perhaps you can clarify something for me...

Because I downloaded this MM animation theme a couple months back, and it does something to the framework, does this mean that I no longer have a ROM based on the latest framework?? Are there some negative affects to my applying that mod that I'm just not able to appreciate? I don't even know if I'm making sense. I did a backup, of course, so if you tell me that some optimizations were lost or something to that effect I will restore in a heartbeat. Thanks again for your attentive support!

Here is my crazy good battery life. This is one charge cycle on a 1500 mah HTC battery. Ziggy's latest beta kernel, overclocked to 1.113 with interactive governor, screen off profile with 245 min / 384 max conservative governor. Battery <10% profile with 245 min / 768 max conservative governor.

Yes, I am a heavy user. This was with ~150 texts, ~20 minutes of phone calls, and a lot of game playing (Pew-pew, Gun Bros, Angry Birds etc). Not too shabby! About 2.5 hours of the awake time was on 3G, everything else was on WiFi
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Epicardium:
Thanks for sharing this! I'm going to mimick your profiles and see what I get.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] rbt2:
Thank you Steve.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] sarge201:
Does the kernel play a part in headphone jack audio quality? I ask because I just used in Winamp and Pandora for the first time on 1.3 and it sounds like a tin can under water. I am using chad's kernel.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] sk806:
I think you are ok, if it just replaced the animation files. I have been working on a theme, and the framework changes affect account settings, not sure why as of yet.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] 5thAgent:
I don't know of any way kernel affects headphone jack audio quality... But I would love to recommend my favorite kernel to you. I've been using HeyItsLou's #9 with a ridiculous amount of success. It runs excellently, even without SetCPU.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] sarge201:
Ran HIL kernels for a long time, 9 don't like my Dinc but 8 was awesome, was my daily for months.

Just tried the ziggy beta and my battery life is way bad!!!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] sk806:
Are you still having the phone freeze problem?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jdmba:
Nope

It's not a 'problem' per se; it is a fact that has spanned 3 of my Incredibles. When plugged into the charger *and* still charging; screen is non responsive. When unplugging it from the charger *or* it is done charging; screen is responsive. Probably the brand of charger I have. It was my third one.

Edit: on a different charger right now and phone is working fine. Anyone know why one charger may freeze the phone and another won't?

Still interested in the Evo app which uses the live camera feed as your background. It's not a third party (paid!!!!!) app, it is a native Evo app. Figured someone might know. Oh well, no biggie.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] TheWhiteBandito:
I believe it is a Samsung app called Road SMS, try this APK, I haven't tried it http://dl.dropbox.com/u/3603055/RoadSMS-32AMod.apk
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jdmba:
yes!!!!! Thanks
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jdmba:
By the way steve ... 1.3.1 is great!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] hgoldner:
I just went back to HeyIt'sLou #7, with the multi-touch, after using Chad989's 2.5.1.8 version of CWM (which supports multi-touch kernels). Battery life has been excellent, and I do use SetCPU for 2 profiles (deliberately overriding the kernel): 1. When charging, I don't let it underclock too much (otherwise backups take forever); 2. When battery gets too hot, or below 20% I underclock further.

And, incidentally, I've always had great sound out of the Incredible, whether stock kernel, Magnolia's kernels or any HeyIt'sLou kernel. (and I've run #3, 4, 7 and 8).
[Droid Incredible Android Development] edbro9:
I took a look at it but it is not for ROMs without sense. I have de-sensitized mine. Stock works well for me. Of course, I might not know what I'm missing.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] TheWhiteBandito:
You can still use it on a desensitiezed ROM. You can't use Lou's kernel on AOSP ROMs (Cyanogenmod, The Ultimate Droid etc). Magnolia is still a Sense ROM and can use Sense Kernels. I am desensitized as well.

Translucent & Clear Theme Beta

Hi there. Would any of you want to beta test my new theme for the ROM? Please send me a PM. Thanks!

[Droid Incredible Android Development] sk806:
Ok. Got my testers. Will send out this evening. Thanks.

Steve
[Droid Incredible Android Development] sk806:
Attempt 2 (Bluetooth voice dial button opens voice command mod) fail. Will try again.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jdmba:
Voice Command

That's bizarre. Not on is it weird that it would be so difficult, why wouldn't Google choose voice command anyway? It does everything voice dialer does, and much more.

Ugh.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] sk806:
I don't think its hard, per se, but rather, a matter of coordinating several apks. I started off with just phone, and now I am going to mod Bluetooth, as well. Ill get it.

But I agree about voice dialer. Very very redundant and not needed as the function already exists. Ok, sorry for the wordplay.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] hgoldner:
The Department of Redundancy Department at HTC has a number of "features" that are default, such as the default "+" on Rosie even though hitting "settings" also gets you a "+". Just looked at the Thunderbolt, and the default Rosie I saw was app drawer, phone (in the middle) and a little palette on the right for "personalizing" the phone. Didn't have it in my hands long enough to figure out how to get to settings.

There are so many ways to get to voice, including the keyboard, too.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] BSquaredB2:
Just wanted to say thank you for developing a great ROM. I just flashed it today and it has worked perfectly. I only ran into a snag after flashing one of the zip files in the Magnolia folder. My DInc locked at the Magnolia screen and would not go past even after pulling the battery (not sure what I did wrong). I just reflashed the ROM and all is good again! Any-hoo, thanks for all your work!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] dbarber996:
Hey Steve - earlier today I ran the two extra gscript removal .sh files you posted up recently. Since then, my phone is constantly displaying the sync circle icon on the notification bar. I've rebooted a couple times to no avail.

Any thoughts?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] caleris:
I've run those with no issue.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] dbarber996:
The script for NoCarHome actually failed. The friendstream went through OK.

Somehow, the constant sync issue started after running those.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] dbarber996:
I turned off the "Sync live feed" option under Facebook for HTC Sense in the Accounts & sync part of Running Services. The rotating sync icon is no longer constantly displaying.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] sk806:
Wipe your cache and dalvik cache. Doubt it was the scripts, but who knows. Let me know if it worked.

Steve
[Droid Incredible Android Development] sk806:
No problem. May I ask which zip.you were flashing?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] BSquaredB2:
Unfortunately, I should've paid closer attention because I did a few right after the other and then rebooted. I definetly tried the hide clock zip and the 5 column app drawer. I also tried one of the CM_naf_rosie zips which is where the problem might be since I'm using the app folder. Is that possible? I can try and recreate if you'd like,

Sent from my pimped out DInc
[Droid Incredible Android Development] rbt2:
My assumption is that Magnolia is deodexed. Is that correct?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Devildog8791:
Yes, it is deodexed.

Theme Testers

To all testers waiting for the theme, sorry, spent the night with my wife :). Will send out in AM.

Steve
[Droid Incredible Android Development] sk806:
Oh, good. I wonder if the removal of Friendstream messes with regular facebook. Interesting...
[Droid Incredible Android Development] sk806:
So, you still have car home installed after running the script, or the script said it failed (which it can do if the dalvik cache deletion part is not present). Thanks.

Steve
[Droid Incredible Android Development] sk806:
Maybe. You have to be sure the 5-column mod is the appfolders version if you are using appfolders.

I am seriously considering stripping all but the statusbar hide/show extras out of the Magnolia folder of the ROM and putting them up as downloads (hopefully in ROM Manager, too, so it'll be easy to get them), with clearer instructions. The extras on sdcard thing started off innocently enough, but with more extras comes more complexity...
[Droid Incredible Android Development] hgoldner:
You know we love ya', but you might want to look at the way Chingyo5o does his thread for Incredibly Re-Engineered. Post #1 is the bare ROM, and mods are organized by types (icons, dialers, themes, etc.) thereafter.

You certainly don't have to go that far, and I am no developer, for sure, but it might be helpful as a template.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] sk806:
Yep. Sounds good. I expect to put out 1.3.2 as a maintenance ROM (updates, fixes, minor new things incorporated into ROM with both flashover and full versions) soon and then make the push for 1.4. I will be splitting off the extras for 1.3.2 and putting them in their various sections in post #3 with explanations/new screenshots.

Steve
[Droid Incredible Android Development] dbarber996:
That is what's weird... car home did disappear after running the script even with gscript saying it failed. I checked in the app drawer immediately after. Oh, well.

Looking forward to 1.3.2 and 1.4!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] sk806:
That happens sometime. It is because there was no dalvik component set up for the app, I am guessing, and thus, the script part that deletes that wouldn't process and it said it fails, even thought most of it ran...
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Epicardium:
What could you possibly improve upon with a new release?!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jdmba:
I updated adblock and flash and find that broke the auto hack on hulu. Hulu now reports, through the cooked in app, that my device is not supported. Sigh.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] VZYGuy:
After flash updated I reflashed the hulu fix and mine started to work again.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] sk806:
I hate hulu. If you want, try reinstalling flash then hulu.

EDIT-sorry, I misread your post, you need to reinstall the hulu zip, as VZW guy stated.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] rbt2:
anyone got a multicolor circular battery icon which works w/ Magnolia?

I'm spending way too much time trying to do this myself. Have spent 2 days trying to cook this at UOT Kitchen but each icon I make puts my Inc in a bootloop on the second startup screen.

Anyone have a multicolor battery icon for Magnolia? In a perfect world I'd like the green (full charge) icon w/ white numbers going from green to yellow to orange to red.. Anything else is great.

The admin at UOT has been helpful but up to this point has said that the site has had problems w/ DInc's.

Can't understand why the icons I've cooked on UOT won't work, but they haven't. Anyone have any additional advice?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] sk806:
It is sometimes more complicated than it appears. You need to alter some xml files to make it work properly (although this is already done in Magnolia) and messing with framework-res.apk is always trickier than it would seem (which may be why the site admin says it doesn't work for the Inc). I can make some icons for you; you want just the stock looking battery but with white percentages and orange/red for mid and low charge, no? If you can, send me a PM with a link to the icons. If not, I'll dig them up myself.

Steve
[Droid Incredible Android Development] BSquaredB2:
Seriously....It's pretty money. In the OP, how fast would my battery tank if I had an issue?

Sent from my pimped out DInc
[Droid Incredible Android Development] hgoldner:
I was only able to get the UOT Kitchen to do that multi-color circle battery when I was running Virtuous. My attempt to do so on Magnolia also produced bootloops on my Incredible. Fortunately, Steve has a flash for that kind of battery icon with Magnolia 1.2 and after (it's in the first message) and the Black and Bold theme also utilizes a variant of the multicolor circle battery.

My principal reasons for using it is that I simply can't see the numbers on the default battery icon without reading glasses, and I can on the circle battery icon.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] sk806:
You'd notice it, I'm fairly certain. 1.3.2 (very soon) has the fix built in, so if you don't see a problem, you can hold off on the battery fix. If you think there is an issue, flash away.

BTW-IMHO 1.3.2 is better than 1.3.1, by quite a bit, and I hope that 1.4 will be better still. I think I even have the damned Hulu thing ironed out using Flashplayer 10.2 and with no extra flashing (keyword "think" ;)).

Steve
[Droid Incredible Android Development] rfarrah:
Once again, thank you for your work. Looking forward to the next version!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] sarge201:
This is one of the main reasons I run Magnolia. The dedication by Steve on perfection and to keep improving a Rom that I.M.O. is already perfect. I even converted two friends to 1.3 and they were both die-hard CM users.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] rbt2:
Thanks for your reply Steve.

I don't want you to go to the trouble of making a special circular battery icon for me but thanks so much for the willingness.

Maybe you could file the idea away for the next Magnolia release. I was able to use this circular battery icon w/ Virtuous.....but just haven't been able to get it to work w/ Mag 1.3.1.

Attached is a screenshot UOT Kitchen of the icon I was trying to install. The only difference with the one shown here and what I was working on is that the numbers and plug (when charging) were in white. Otherwise it's impossible to read.

I've only pursued this because the current battery icon is unreadable by myself.

Thanks for your great work, I look forward to the next release.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] TeH PLAYA:
I'm running that same circular battery. I overwrote the battery symbols in the ROM with the UOT one via 7 zip. Easier to read.

Are you running any mods and/or the BnB theme? I can send you a zip file with that circle battery, but need to know what you have running on your phone.

screenie:
[Droid Incredible Android Development] rbt2:
Playa

If you could send that 2 me....plus some instructions on applying it, I would be indebted to you. Looks like just what I was searching for.

Have Mag 1.3.1 installed, no themes. The only mod I have installed is one for a circular batt icon Steve sent me last week to try. Unfortunately I can't read it and it's no quite as nice as the multicolor (green at full charge) one I had on Virtuous and looks like you have installed.

I've attached the current circular batt icon from Steve...if that helps. Other than the attached batt icon, everything else is stock.

Thanks again.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] hgoldner:
This is really annoying; flashing the CM appfolders update killed appfolders. When I pressed the middle rosie button, I got nada. So I had to install Appfolders from marketplace, and I think that pretty much fouls any subsequent theming or mods to Magnolia.

Can anyone suggest a reliable way to return to where I was *before* I flashed that "update," (short of just restoring an earlier nandroid)?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] dbarber996:
Bring it! :D

Circle Battery

rbt2,

Attached is the file containing the green circle battery. *DO NOT* flash this file. I will PM you with instructions. :) Thanks.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] sk806:
Sorry, couldn't resist, so here's the flashble zip of teh playa's circle icons: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/22769554/Statusbar_Extras/Circle_Battery_2.zip :).
[Droid Incredible Android Development] sk806:
Redownload and flash the new_appfolders.zip. There was an issue with the zip file (somehow got corrupted by Betterzip), but it has been corrected: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/22769554/New_AppFolders.zip.

Steve
[Droid Incredible Android Development] rbt2:
Thanks, will try out the procedure later this morning and post how it went, will also try Steve's flashable zip....thaks to you both.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] hgoldner:
OK, gonna try this, and if it takes, flash the other file you sent me over the weekend. Will report back. Thanks.

[Update] Great, that zip works; app folders back in the ROM. Now to the next step.....

[Update] No dice with that beta; got something that rhymes with Fruit Loops. Fortunately, did a nandroid right after flashing the app folders fix, so we're good to go 'til next update drops.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] TeH PLAYA:
Hey man no problem! I want to learn how to make a flashable zip, so I don't have to do everything manually.

rbt2, just flash sk's zip of my icons and you should be good to go :)

Mag 1.3.1 has been running smooth. I read that 1.3.2 is coming? Hehe
[Droid Incredible Android Development] laxer3n7:
I may have missed this but is there any way to get the regular sense homescreen layout (ie Apps / Phone / Browser) and the 5 column app drawer at the same time?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] sk806:
Not yet, but it's coming. I am redoing all the extras, which will be in post #3 in sections with descriptions, as opposed to on your SD card. The extras will have 5 columns versions of the stock icons, ROM default icons, Color icons and gingerbread icons. My OP, changelog and post #3 are a wreck, so I plan to pretty much do them over once everything is ready for 1.3.2.

Steve
[Droid Incredible Android Development] BSquaredB2:
Thanks, I am 99.9% sure that it was user error by me flashing the wrong zip mod. It's all good now so thank you.

[Droid Incredible Android Development] rbt2:
Playa, Steve

This is where I ended up this morning w/my circular battery icon business.

1. Steve, couldn't successfully flash the circ icon battery on my system. Not sure why....maybe the blue circ battery zip file you sent to me was the problem but I doubt it. I think there was just a glitch in my Mag install. Who knows.

2. Ended up downloading a fresh copy of Magnolia 1.3.1 and went thru the editing process Playa provided in a post above, and then reflashed the altered Mag 1.3.1 file. That did it......got the battery icon I was looking for ie the green (showing full charge) multi-color circular battery icon.

Many thanks from me to both Playa and Steve for helping me sort this out.

I'm a happy camper. Now let's see what happens w/ the upcoming 1.3.2 (when?) update.

Thanks again to you both.

Took a brief foray back into MIUI for the day because they released a gb version (3.18) and I wanted to see what it was all about. I'm back to Magnolia now. For any of you contemplating the same experiment, be sure to back up Magnolia. You'll be back. I can't say it enough...this rom just plain works.

Question re 5-Column App Drawer

Hello, all. I am wondering how people feel about the 5-column app drawer being the default in the ROM. I am redoing all the mappings, etc., and it occurred to me that there may be no point to the 4-column version (other than aesthetics?). Please let me know what you think.

Thanks!

Steve
