Hmmm....maybe this needs to be in /system/app/ to work properly. I have been experimenting with moving as many apps as possible over to /data/app/, but I can't test them all (Hence the RC status and not final...). I will PM you an update.zip that will install it to system/app/. Would you mind uninstalling the flickr you have and installing the .zip I send, then testing it out? Thanks.

Steve
[Droid Incredible Android Development] sk806:
Nevermind. I just tried, and that was the problem. A .zip to fix Flickr sharing now in Post #3.

Steve
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Stevez48:
Very cool, thank you for the very quick response AND fix!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jbdan:
Sweet little ROM giving it a try this week. Nicely done thanks for your time :-)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] sk806:
No Problem. Thank you for trying it out...
[Droid Incredible Android Development] kriskmk:
I installed RC_2.. I want the notification bar to show the clock and alarm, so I installed the show_clock_alarm.zip from the magnolia folder in recovery. It doesn't seem to work.. yes, I have the latest zip files in the magnolia folder. Any help?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] sk806:
The status bar clock and alarm? I agree, the "Magnolia" folder is automatically refreshed when flashed, so that's not the problem.

Hmmm...a few questions (don't be insulted if they sound dumb, just trying to understand your situation):

- did you do a clean (fully wiped) install?

- have you done any other mods to your services.jar (e.g., the "uncapped data" mod that's been going around?

Thanks,

Steve
[Droid Incredible Android Development] sk806:
Sooo...

Is this a good benchmark score? Seriously, I have never paid attention to this sort of thing. The ROM has all standard apps and all of my apps installed from market and has been used for four hours.

This is potential RC3, made some big changes. Waiting to see if stability/battery still OK, but so far so good...
[Droid Incredible Android Development] kriskmk:
Yes, I did use the uncapped data mod that has been going around :).. and yes, it was a clean install after wiping everything. You think that could be the problem? Have those zip files been tested to see if they work on RC2? I know they worked on RC1..

by the way.. who does NOT want the clock to show up on the notification bar? when you are in an app or the app drawer that is the only place on the phone where the clock shows up.. I miss having that :(
[Droid Incredible Android Development] sk806:
Yep. It's the uncapped data mod. It replaces your whole services.jar, where the clock/alarm icons are controlled. I will try and throw together a zip that will work with RC2. Will try to post tomorrow AM.

Steve
[Droid Incredible Android Development] techobsessive:
No that score is not the greatest. Around d 1500 to 1600 is what alot of people expect, personally that doesn't matter to me but some care. Rubaning that app multiple times seems to make the score higher though. But you pro ably knew that
[Droid Incredible Android Development] sk806:
That's what I suspected, as I saw some ROMS with 1900's. I made some big changes to the framework and app apks that have really made the ROM feel like it flies, but I never did a benchmark test on older versions, so I had no starting point (and was too lazy to reflash & test ;)).

I also have never really cared about speed test scores, as long as the ROM feels fast & smooth.

Thanks for your input.

Steve
[Droid Incredible Android Development] kriskmk:
Okay thanks, that'll be great.. the show_clock.zip works.. but the show_clock_alarm.zip removes everything from the notification bar. Like you said, I am guessing it is because of the data cap mod. A custom one for this rom would be nice..

Also, what kind of rosie mods are available for this ROM. I am not completely thrilled with the default phone in the middle, browser on the right and arrow on the left for app drawer setting right now.. I like that it has a transparent background.. but it a bit too small in size I feel. I like the rosie buttons that Nil's Business Sense has.. Also, is there a mod to make the app drawer slightly transparent? those two things would make this ROM perfect for me.

and yes.. the quadrant scores are modest for this rom.. but I like the stability and smoothness over all other roms..the no-background clock and lock bar is simply too classy... plus the extra features built into the app drawer... hence I'm sticking to this rom for good.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Zeesis:
I believe (correct me if im wrong) Remapping of at least the right button is going to be available with the final release or was it RC3? Anyways I think the plan was just for remapping of the right "Browser" button... But Steve seems to get bored easily and surprises us. ;)

I thought nil's also had the phone middle apps left? with the Z customize/paint thingy on the right. Or did you mean just size of the buttons?.. Or am I thinking of the wrong ROM lol

Apps drawer semi-transparent could be slick looking, I like that.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] techobsessive:
Hey, thanks for the great ROM :D
[Droid Incredible Android Development] sk806:
Got tied up yesterday, sorry. the new remove icon .zips should be posted today...

I agree about the size of the rosie launcher/phone buttons, and have made them bigger for RC3. I am a bit reluctant to move away from the stock icons, as I like the aesthetics of them, but I am always on the lookout for new icons (sad, I know ;)).

What is the consensus regarding having the AP key in the middle? I am OK with it, as the Mod has been done a long way back by Bezerker, and should not be too hard to fit into the theme.

As to quadrant scores, I am starting to see that you really need to strip out a ROM to get them up. The problem is, the more I strip out, the more people want the same apps back in! Therefore, I plan to stick with the more general appeal, and a stable, smooth and fast feel.

For RC3, however, I have been messing around with stripping out extra languages from the ROMs APKs (except Spanish) and really squashing the PNGs as much as possible without distortion of any kind. It really makes the Rom hop, IMHO, although the benchmarks seem to vary depending on what I have running/installed, what kernel, etc.

I can make the ApFolders background semi-tranparent, I believe, but have to open that APK up and look at the XML in there. Was also thinking of nicer (no offense to Maxim's choice) folder icons.

Steve
[Droid Incredible Android Development] sk806:
I am going to wait until final (hopefully all will be set after RC3, which should be out this weekend, but, as my avatar suggests, I like football, so playoffs may be a distraction) to do the Rosie mods. It is just to much time to redo each Rosie after all of the changes I make for each release. Sorry about that, but please be patient, and I will get more mappings out as son as the ROM is in its first Final release.

Again, do people like the idea of the APP button being in the middle of the Rosie launcher?

Thanks.

Steve
[Droid Incredible Android Development] sk806:
BTW - how is this mod? I am skeptical, but not closed-minded by any means...
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Stevez48:
I personally like rosie the way it is. The only thing I would like to figure out is how to point the browser to skyfire instead. Other than that it is an awesome ROM. well done!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jdmba:
Dolphin is my default browser, so either dolphin or default would be wonderful.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] sk806:
OK, download the "Default Icon Mappings" in the OP, open the zip on your dektop, copy either the regular (if you are using AppFolders launcher) or NoAppfolders (if you are using the stock app launcher) zip for dolphin (either "reg_dolphin.zip" or "naf_dolhin.zip") anywhere on your SD card, flash the zip, and you're good. It will look just the same and everything...

Oh, and backup first, just in case...and its for Dolphin HD, not mini.

Issue with app folders (not the ROM)

Sorry for raising this here, but App Folders came with the ROM.

I'm finding that app folders is unable to distinguish between like-named apps, for instance "Angry Birds" and "Angry Birds" (Seasons) and shows one, or the other, but never both. (Similar issue for HTC's "Music" v. Android "Music" and for two versions of "Clock").

Any workaround short of stripping the app from the ROM?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Devildog8791:
Colored Icon Menus Theme

I should be done with the colored icon menus theme tomorrow, but I need to ask a couple of questions.

1) Is there a specific battery that everyone would want included or is the battery that comes with the rom good with everyone?

2) Does anyone want the black dialer included or the stock dialer? If black, then what color alphabet should it have?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] sk806:
Unfortunately, not. It is a known shortcoming of the app. I am looking into changing the way the app database is built for 1.3, but have had limited success thus far. I am not giving up, though.

It has been a while since the app has been updated by the author, which is too bad, because it is so close to being there...

EDIT-BTW, my wife and I just spent an hour playing Angry Birds because of your post. That is really fun and stupid.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] hgoldner:
Like I said in earlier post in this thread, my eyes can't see the battery icon that sk806 included in Magnolia 1.2, so I have already switched to a UOT Kitchen generated circle battery icon. Would prefer not to undo that.

Because of the Incredible's tendency to wash-out in daylight, I prefer the stock white dialer anyway.

If you're changing the icons that pop up when you hit "menu" from home from monochrome to color, that would be interesting to see. Do you have to wrap everything into one mod?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] hgoldner:
Thanks for the clarification. Right now the workaround is to put the missing app somewhere on the homescreen, or have another method of launching it, which still requires less real estate than using folders on the homescreen (instead of in the app drawer, which now makes so much more sense). For instance, I use SimiClock to launch the "real" clock app; and I've frozen both Music apps via Titanium due to their nasty habit of auto starting when on BT audio with a Ford using Sync.

I'm liking app folders despite this quirk because of the space it saves on my homescreens. (I used to have 8-9 folders spread over 3 screens; now they're all in the app drawer where they belong.)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Devildog8791:
I actually use the circle battery in my Black n Bold theme. If there isn't very many responses then I will use that battery and the stock dialer.

P.S. I have the same problem with my middle-aged eyes. It sucks to get old, but it's great to get better.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] i5aac:
Sorry to stir up controversy, but I rather enjoy the black dialers. I am currently using the stock, however, as I'm pretty sure I read earlier that one could have a black dialer or color notification icons, but not both. I happen to really like the icons (i typically don't--these are quite classy).

Honestly, I'm sure either way will look great. You do good work!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] sk806:
Here are the colored icons for framework-res and com.htc.resources if Devildog (or anyone else) wants to use them (these are just the icons, do not flash anyone): http://www.mediafire.com/?4ihpol4d5h41b2v

Steve
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Devildog8791:
One step ahead of you, Steve. I pulled them off the SD card a couple of days ago. Colored Icons theme should be done shortly.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] TeH PLAYA:
Nice. I followed your how-to and pulled the colored signal/cdma icons from the colored icons apk and pasted them in your black and blue dialer. I now have the black dialer and all the colored icons on the notification bar. Awesome!

I was gonna post the modified zip but it looks like you have something already cooking. Nice!

I noticed the Gmail icon is not in color. Is this due to the recent Gmail update?

Also, I prefer either a Gingerbread style vertical battery or a circle battery with a gradient, to match the gradient of the other icons.

As for the black dialer, either the green or blue lettered ones do it for me.

Tim
[Droid Incredible Android Development] sk806:
Yes, Gmail has its own icon. Will be color in 1.3 (until another update comes along), which I am just finishing up for beta testing. Have really got the start up scripts and busybox interaction cranking (Rom cooks...), as well as the vanilla lockscreens mod with gestures from JSChiSurf (with working smooth sense icons and color notifaction compatible, plus a modded vanilla clock that opens HTC album and music :)), plus other updates & goodies.

Almost done with the translucent status bar with clear widgets theme, too. Recompiling resources as we speak...

Then on to the gingerbread icon mappings...

Boot Animatiom

Just switched over from Virtuous and all went smoothly. While I like the Magnolia boot animation I had a custom animation that I had made and would like to use. What's the location of the boot animation file in Magnolia?

Thanks and kudos for a great ROM
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Devildog8791:
I have the Colored Icon Menus Theme done, but I'm having upload issues with Dropbox and now with MediaFire. I'll post when it is done uploading.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Devildog8791:
Colored Icon Menus Theme

Here is the Colored Icon Menus Theme. This will replace several system apk's (38 in all), com.htc.resources.apk and framework-res.apk. I have included the Color Notifications mod with it, but it uses the stock white dialer. I have also replaced the battery images with a circle battery with numbers in the middle (see images).

If you have any other mod that affects these files, this theme will overwrite that mod (i.e. Black Dialer). I will try and update the dialers with the colored icons later For now, I need to get going on my Black n Bold theme. By the sound of it, I might not get it done before Magnolia 1.3 drops.

Flash in recovery and enjoy. Make a backup first.

Thanks, I'm glad you like it.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] i5aac:
Looks awesome. Will run this until Black comes out!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] sk806:
@devildog - Can we coordinate for the upcoming version 1.3 (If you plan to keep up your great work for this ROM, of course)? If so, I will shoot you a PM tomorrow, as there will be some considerable (but optional) changes to the framework with the lockscreens/gestures port as well as my alternative translucent theme.

Anyway, again, very nice work.

Steve
[Droid Incredible Android Development] TeH PLAYA:
I'm looking through the black dialer zip (with green VM, blue letters) and I can't find the image of the black dialpad anywhere. I see the stock dialpad in the phone apk, but not the black?

I'm trying to swap out the stock dialpad in the Magnolia-1.2-ColoredMenuIcons.zip devildog8791 just posted with the black dialer that he made.

I'm obviously a rookie at this and thought it was simple, lol.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Vernox701:
you have to swap out htcdialer.apk and phone.apk .....better off of updating with the zip file through recovery. phone.apk has been force closing when swapping out for me. the text colors are xml edits and the black buttons should be located in com.htc.resources.apk/res/drawable-hdpi htc_pin_asset_pressed and htc_pin_asset_rest
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Devildog8791:
Sounds good. Let me know what I can do to help.

Default

Steve - Since I have made no additional flashes/customizations to your amazing ROM, I used reg_dolphin.zip and it worked like a champ. One less icon taking up valuable space on my main page :)

Is it even possible to create an icon that triggers whatever is the currently configured default browser? If it is possible, would you consider such for v1.3 instead of a hard code?

Thank you again for your wonderful ROM. Are you SURE you don't take donations?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] hgoldner:
+1 for coordination

Ran DevilDog's mod. Really like the color icons, but it overwrote my Rosie mappings (which were color with MMS on right).

Rather than reflash (and risk a conflict with Devildog's workproduct), I'd really like to see this coordinated in 1.3.

Willing to wait for that to do anything further.

Meanwhile, this ROM runs and looks great.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Devildog8791:
That's the bad thing about having several mods for a rom. I like choices, but sometimes it can be limited. As a community, we should discuss what mods need to be combined and either Steve or myself can work on getting them condensed. If everyone enjoys the color icons, maybe we can get Steve to just include them on the next release and then the mods would have them included as well.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] spjoneser:
Hey guys thought I'd finally post here. Long time Virtuous user, several week lurker here. Which seems to be a trend. I have had absolute stability with Virtuous but also enjoy the continuous tinkering. And with lack of support I have lurked around and am very impressed with Steve's dedication and welcoming colaboration of other community members. I have been swaping back and forth between the Virtuous and this lovely rom while I get this one set up exactly to my liking. I have messed with the framework in virtuous quite a bit, mostly swapping icons around making it more pleasant to my eyes:) And you all have definitely accomodated those needs with all of your available mods. I do agree with the above post about it being hard to get exactly what everybody wants rolled up into one nice package with so many options. Which is why I have learned to bring things together with all of the available items. Like I said mostly just swapping png's around. Love the colored icons which are very similar to what I used in Virtuous. But love the colored menu items as well. But enjoy a stock rosie.

So was wondering if devildog you could tell me if all I would need to do is copy some png's into the rosie I would like to use as to not lose the colored menu icons from your package that disappear when I switch rosies? And if so could you tell me which ones they are? Looks like 4 of them from the main menu?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] spjoneser:
Sorry for such the long post above. And by the way since I forgot to include this....

Great Work!

From one Steve to another, Thanks
[Droid Incredible Android Development] TeH PLAYA:
I also agree. Colored menu icons, colored notification bar icons, black dialer, colored cdma/signal meter, circle battery, and gesture vanilla lockscreen all rolled up in one nice package! Maybe also the Rosie mods for those that are not desensitized.

As for the colored menu icons, what about a black or dark grey background for those icons? Icons look awesome btw!

Right now I'm enjoying the black dialer I modified so I can have the black dialer and colored signal meter w/ colored notification icons. :)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] spjoneser:
Sorry should have made more of an effort before asking for help. I found the png's I was looking for and was able to get my rosie to work the way I wanted.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Devildog8791:
I looked at inverting the menus a while back, but there is alot to it. I may dabble in it again, but I am not promising anything. This will be a backburner project.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] trishuhh:
I just bought the Incredible because I was sick of the Eris. So, so sick of the Eris. Having flashed about 48319 roms on the Eris, I'm happy to say that this is the FIRST rom I have ever flashed on a Droid Incredible. The quality of this rom is awesome, and seems extremely stable.

However I am having trouble with the Hulu app loading/streaming any videos. It will just sit at the black video screen for about 2 or 3 minutes and then finally say "we are unable to stream your video. Please check your internet connection"

I have tried streaming with 3g, and then again with wifi, still to no avail.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Devildog8791:
Good. I was going to have to wait until I got home so I could give you the right file names to replace.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] sk806:
Have you by any chance updated your flash player? What clockwork recovery (or other recovery) are you using? I ask because the flash player in the ROM cannot be updated without breaking the Hulu patch, and clockwork recovery 3.x performs an inconsistent wipe that can leave traces of your stock/other rom behind, which could affect your Flash.

If neither of these apply, then I will send you a zip that should fix it.

Steve
[Droid Incredible Android Development] TeH PLAYA:
I'm actually having the same problem. I did not update Flash from market and I'm running clockwork 2.5.x.x.

I did have adblocker before and when I tried to run Hulu it did not work. Uninstalling adblocker did not fix it, so I re-flashed 1.2 again. Now I just end up with a black screen in the Hulu app after the short ad.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] sk806:
Hmm...mine works fine and I can't replicate the problem. Let me whip up a zip to flash all the necessary files. Will post in a bit.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] sk806:
OK, try flashing this...it will replace your Hulu, Flashplayer, libflashplayer.so and hosts file, too, in case you have had ad blocking installed. If you are not having an issue, you do not need to flash.

Steve
[Droid Incredible Android Development] sk806:
Could you please clarify: you went back to stock/unrooted and did not flash Magnolia? Or you went back to stock, rooted and then flashed Magnolia and are having the issue?

And by "can't see" do you mean in the phone (e.g., in settings) or via your computer?

Thanks.

Steve
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jdmba:
Did the above post indicate that hulu will not work if we have ad blocking installed? If that's the case I would update to current flash because I am more interested in ad free android than the hulu app. Thanks.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] sk806:
Not necessarily. Try hulu and see. I believe some ad blocking host files may pose a problem, but that is not definite. The zip was specific to certain users' concerns. If people want a zip w/o the host file, I can post that, too. However, I have no issue with Hulu, so I am not sure of the need.

Steve
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Devildog8791:
Totally off topic, but I love batch optimization in APK Manager.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jdmba:
Nope

I couldn't get it to work on 3G and figured it just needed my Road Runner Turbo WiFi. Got the same "we can't serve your ad" 30 second countdown, and am now looking at a blank screen (well, I get the ABC logos but nothing but black). I wonder if AdFree Android is the 'problem'.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Devildog8791:
Black n Bold Sense Theme

Black n Bold Sense for Magnolia 1.2 has been released. You can find it here.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] sk806:
I'll perform an experiment. My is fine, and now I will install ad free android and see what happens.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] TeH PLAYA:
I flashed this and I still get an error saying the content cannot be played, check your internet connection (something like that).

No biggie, whenever the next Magnolia update rolls around I'll just do a full wipe and flash and no adblocker. Should work then.
