[Samsung Mesmerize] Elmojo:
Thanks for the quick reply. I did download the addons, but couldn't tell what I needed to do to get them installed.

Did I need to somehow package them into the ROM flash them all together or can I add them now? If so, how?

Thanks again for such a clean ROM option. I can't wait to try 0.3!

I'm getting 1600+ on quadrant now. ;)
[Samsung Mesmerize] phidelt82:
You can do it a couple of ways. You can flash each individual zip one at a time. If you feel comfortable using 7zip, you can pull all of the apk files out of the individual zips and drag them into the app folder of just one of them. Then you would only have to flash one file. Either way, it will make them a permanent part of the ROM.
[Samsung Mesmerize] Elmojo:
Okay, I think I understand.

So I can flash zips from recovery and they will be additive to what's there, not overwriting the existing "stuff". Is this correct?

I think I'll just flash the calendar app. I like all the other garbage being gone. :)
[Samsung Mesmerize] phidelt82:
Yup, it's just an add. Nothing will be overwritten unless it's already there. But then, you probably wouldn't be reflashing something that's already there. :p
[Samsung Mesmerize] Elmojo:
Awesome, thanks!

Great work on this ROM, I'm really looking forward to the next release or whatever else you make available for the Mesmerize! Are there any other must-have mods for this phone that I should know about?
[Samsung Mesmerize] phidelt82:
Thanks. I'm always working on something. I've ported a few themes and mods. My favorites are what I have in my signature.
[Samsung Mesmerize] Elmojo:
Yeah, I think I installed all those last night. :D

I got the 20sec backlight mod, though.

Is the Voodoo5 kernel in the pick-n-pack or do I need to flash that separately?

I thought I read that it was already in there?
[Samsung Mesmerize] phidelt82:
No, the kernel is jt's and is a separate piece but will really improve the performance of the phone.
[Samsung Mesmerize] Elmojo:
I see. I'm not sure why I thought it was already packaged into your ROM.

Can I flash it now or is it one of those overwrite things?

EDIT: The more I think about it, the more I think I've already flashed the voodoo ROM. Is there a way to check?
[Samsung Mesmerize] phidelt82:
Voodoo is the kernel. There is an easy way to check. If you reboot into recovery and it's red, you have the voodoo kernel installed. If it's blue or green, then you don't have voodoo installed yet. You can flash the kernel still and it won't hurt anything at all.

Some good advice, after installing a voodoo kernel, always remember to disable lagfix any time you are flashing something new or taking a backup.
[Samsung Mesmerize] afritchen:
If you shut down and boot into recovery (three-button method - the volume rocker - both keys - and the power button), you should have CwM Voodoo Lagfix Recovery. Text will be red vs. green and there should be a Voodoo option in the menu.
[Samsung Mesmerize] Elmojo:
Yep, red text, I got Voodoo! lol

Thanks to everyone for the kinda assistance.

I'm generally a quick learner, but I need extra help in the beginning. :cool:

EDIT: Oh, one last thing. I noticed with the GenX theme, that some of my apps (the alarm clock in particular) don't display quite right.

I assume that's because of the different fonts used. Is there any way to change that without using a totally different theme?

I'll post a screenshot if you think it will help.
[Samsung Mesmerize] phidelt82:
No prob. :)
[Samsung Mesmerize] Elmojo:
I think my last question got missed because I edited the earlier post.

Please check above for the screenshot.
[Samsung Mesmerize] phidelt82:
Yeah, this has to do with the xml edits and fonts. Possibly new fonts would help if it's an issue, or editing the xml code for the apps affected. In some of the apps it can look pretty cool, but that really looks tacky. lol.. I've never noticed it before, because I just set the alarm and never really worry about it. I'll look at editing the xml code real quick and see what I can come up with.

In the mean time, you can try any of these.
[Samsung Mesmerize] Elmojo:
Oh man you rock!

I flashed the AlteHaasGrotesk font pack and everything is lookin' sweet!

Thanks again. How do I go about donating to you?
[Samsung Mesmerize] phidelt82:
There's a "Donate to me" button under above my avatar on the left, but please don't feel obligated. I haven't really done anything but point you to a few things.
[Samsung Mesmerize] sreister:
Hey, is anyone else running into trouble using this and Beautiful Widgets? It's been force closing and then finally stopped altogether. It's not updating the time at all.Thanks
[Samsung Mesmerize] Elmojo:
My beautiful widgets crashes every now and then, but it was doing it on the stock ROM as well. I think it's an app problem, not a Rom issue.
[Samsung Mesmerize] sageDieu:
Fancy Widget is better IMO, and so is froyo. ;D
[Samsung Mesmerize] Elmojo:
I use both Fancy and Beautiful. Each has their pros and cons.

Now that I think about it, they both FC occasionally.

I'm looking forward to the Froyo update next month. :)
[Samsung Mesmerize] phidelt82:
I'm enjoying the Froyo leak now. It doesn't stop the problems with Beautiful Widgets, though.
[Samsung Mesmerize] akellar:
I've ran into a lot fewer FC with BW lately. Hopefully they got it figured out in their latest updates.
[Samsung Mesmerize] Tortuga1234:
I was having issues with BW and hide it pro. Hide it pro has a audio manager in it and it would force all my calls to come in silent mode even when the phone settings were set at full sound. This all happened after I installed the EA11 leak and went away after I went flash happy with themes and wiped my dalvik. Maybe doing a app restore with a backup app is causing a conflict in memory?

[HTC Aria Android Development] Sengfeng:
I do a fair amount of flashing/restoring ROMs on my Aria... One thing I've noticed is whenever I restore a ROM, my contact list's custom ringtones, send-to-voicemail settings, etc., get reset.

Anyone know the reason? Or have a way to keep them backed up?
[HTC Aria Android Development] maevro:
Im a little confused. So you back up your phone, for example in ROM Manager, then flash a new ROM and run your backup and none of those things are there, or just the contacts and other things you said above?

Where are your contacts saved to? SIM, Phone, Google, etc?
[HTC Aria Android Development] Sengfeng:
Contacts are all on an Exchange server. I do not sync to Gmail at all.

The contacts are all there, but the custom ringtones set for different contacts nor the "send to voicemail" state get restored.

Seems to happen on Liberated as well as CM...
[HTC Aria Android Development] superman6143:
I was having the same problem switching roms I would lose everything but that's because I did a complete wipe and factory reset. I learned that switching between similar roms like cm6.1 and cm6.2 u don't have to do the factory reset just wipe cache and all my stuff was still there. I've done a restore through rom manager wiped cache only and samething still had my stuff. Hope this helps

Did you try backup CONTACTS with titanium backup?
[EVO 4G General] mazdaspeed6:
i just got a new sprint evo 4g a few days agot o replace my PRE and im trying to root it. i never had htcsync installed. i installed the HBOOT drivers and they are reconized by dev manager. I run Unrevoked 3 and it reboots the phone and gets stuck at "waiting for root" the phone has booted up completely but nothing has changed. I tried rebooting my pc and the phone and trying again but it does the same thing. if i unplug usb and reattach i get the error failed to root, this happens sometimes. i have debugging on and charge only enabled. Am i missing something?
[EVO 4G General] ICEReaction:
Unrevoked3 currently does not root the newer EVOs. Since you said you got it a few days ago, I assume you are on HBOOT 2.02 or 2.10. You need to use another method besides unrevoked3 to root or wait until the unrevoked team puts out an updated package to root the new EVOs. You can find root methods in the Development Section.

[ROOT] ~~~ HTC EVO - Universal Auto Root ~~~ (updated for 2.02)(12/15/10)

or

[ROOT][GUIDE] HBoot 2.02/2.10 SOFF -Yea, Yes Im On Top Edition - Upd. 12.19.10

Good luck
[EVO 4G General] Bigirish:
Hey Maz,

I'm in the same boat. It's all to do with the new update that the Evo's received. I didn't know that taking the update (I really missed Swype from my Epic, lol) would kill our ability to root. We just have to hang back until unrEVOked, or another dev, comes up with a new one-click root that will accommodate our baseband/firmware/etc. /sadface... That'll teach me to leap before reading..
[EVO 4G General] mazdaspeed6:
thanks for the replies guys. does simpleroot support my version? i tried that a few minutes ago but im getting error that the versions are wrong or something in hboot
[EVO 4G General] J Piddy:
The second link is one that I used. It says it should even work with 2.10 Hboot. As long as you follow the directions exactly you should be good to go.
[EVO 4G General] mazdaspeed6:
since i attempted the root my evo seems to be responding slowly now. i formatted the sd card as one forum suggested. not sure it that had to do with it needing to sync up everything or something but i used task killer to kill the apps but its still running slow
[Galaxy S I9000 General] bohdans:
I have used this for JPU/JPX firmwares and various 2.2 firmwares.

Before doing ANY upgrades make sure you can get into recovery mode and you have backed up anything you want to keep (I suggest Titanium Backup)

Needed:

1) Oidin 1.3 - http://www.multiupload.com/4JLU4QHUV7

2) Pit 512 (Others are for 2.1 I think) - http://www.multiupload.com/I5WICSBFJ1

3) Firmware File - http://www.samfirmware.com/WEBPROTECT-i9000.htm

(All links are from samfirmwares.com)

Things to check:

Does your download have 1 or 3 files?

Make sure you extract your files and they are either "tar" or "md5" files. "rar" files will need to be extracted before you can use them.

If it has 1 file then:

- Open Oidin Click "PDA" Select your file.

- DO NOT select re-partition and DO NOT use pit.

- Click Start

If it has 3 files then:

- Open Oidin

- Click PDA and select PDA File

- Click Phone and Select MODEM File

- Click CSC and Select CSC File

(The Files will have Phone/Modem/CSC in the file name)

- Click PIT and select 512.pit file

- Tick "Re-Partition"

- Click Start

Notes:

On every flash I ALWAYS "wipe data/factory reset", "wipe cache partition" and "format internal sd-card" in Recovery Mode.

This is a personal preference, but I like the "New Phone" feel :D

To do this I:

- Flash the phone with Oidin

- Wait till it boots up fully the first time.

- Remove The Battery

- Hold Power/Home/Volume Up and reinsert battery

- As soon as the yellow text appears let go of all keys

- Use Volume Up/Down to move, Home to select

If you get a "E:Can't mount dev\block\st110" error when flashing JPX I had to flash the 3 file JPU first, boot once then flash JPX again and that fixed my problem.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] FRLinux:
Nice post. Been my method too and phone works perfectly :-)
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] Krisbo:
Has anyone else here tried Go Launcher? I think it's my new favourite. It locks my Streak's screen in portrait by default and is very smooth. You can also organise you home screens better than other launchers too, similar to that of the Galaxy S where you can add, remove and re-arrange your home screens.
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] Biggzz:
Going to try it out now.
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] tfd1978:
U have any screen shots, to check it out? Sounds good.
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] borijess:
I am actually trying it out. Its nice the only thing is the grid size of 5x5 is to small.
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] fone_fanatic:
how would you guys compare it to adw.launcher?
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] Krisbo:
I prefer it. I'm using a pixel density of 200 though so 5x5 is a good for me. It seems to run smoother for me than ADW and I really prefer the way it does the previews as opposed to the sense leap style. You can have up to 9 homescreens which is a bonus.

The only thing I'm not 100% on is the app drawer.
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] borijess:
I like the app drawer. The options for running apps is good and you can uninstall from that screen.
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] Krisbo:
+1 on uninstall from drawer. I just wish the top row was smaller, or there was an option to turn it off. To be honest, I generally don't use the drawer very much anyway so it's not a big deal for me.

There are only two things keeping me from using LauncherPro. It can't be locked in portrait. I use a lot of widgets, so if it switches from portrait to landscape then it takes a long time to switch back. The other is that if I want to change the number of home screens, I need to move all of my widgets if I want the default screen to be in the centre.

Tell you what, if Go Launcher can put together a swish Facebook widget like the one in LauncherPro Plus, I'll be sold!
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] ak47m:
LauncherPro not being able to lock in portrait is only a problem on the Dell Streak because the default orientation of the device is Landscape :/ LauncherPro DOES take SOOO long to switch from portrait to landscape and it annoys the heck out of me if I'm holding my Streak in Portrait and unlock it... feels so sluggish.

The app drawer in GO Launcher is nice, but I wish we could squish more apps side-by-side. That and the text seems like it doesn't fit and shows like Ca...ra (Camera) but for almost all the apps.
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] borijess:
I stop using go launcher and went back to launcher pro. Could not get used to the small grid size. If they update the grid I will download it again.
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] jazzdude555:
+1

It also made the wallpaper issue worse by showing less of it than even stock. Also couldn't use custom icons for buttons as some didn't work.

Went back to launcher pro.
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] tzk76:
Do guide us too as to how to use the Go launcher. Would would good to arrange the widgets on the dell streak
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] binary_boy01:
Actually you're bit wrong. Here's why: I have launcher pro plus along with simple lock lockscreen application. Not only unlocks the screen in portrait mode, but also, incoming calls are in portrait mode :)

Cheers,

Chris

The dock on go launcher is turned left about some pixels..(on potrate)
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] Matt Bernius:
Question for those using Go Laucher - is there a fix for the issue of the Dock background graphic not scaling correctly on the streak (for example the "ruler" from the sketch theme only covers about 2/3rds of the background of the dock)?

I'm running 2.2 (build 315)...

thanks
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] Revin:
I guess it is because of the different DPI Dell Streak have (other WVGA devices have 200 dpi, Streak have 160 dpi). Maybe try to ask authors?

But good news, Go Launcher Ex can have now custom rows and columns on desktop now!
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] Agent5150:
Using latest version of go launcher. Much smoother than adw and pro. It is now my favorite one. Zeam follows as close second because its latest release freezes alot.

I am not seeing any of the issues reported about wallpaper.
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] bluefrog:
Does no-one else use VTL Launcher then? I've had it a few months now and love it, mainly for the docks that stay there no matter which screen you move to.

Anyone compared it to Go / ADW etc?
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] trf000:
Love Go Launcher EX and the Go widgets especially calendar and message. the ability to kill running apps from the drawer is nice. and you can add as many screens as you want. very smooth, and lots of themes.

go Launcher

I had to switch launchers. Been using LP since December, but in the last month, it's been sluggish, FC, etc.

Switched to Go launcher, haven't had any slow downs, lightning fast so far.

Not sure what the deal is with LP, but when I was looking on the market, seems a lot of people are having FC and lags too.

[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] neiltring:
I love using the Go launcher, phone and contacts. However the contacts is conflicting with Androids own. If i import my contacts to androids own service then it appears as a duplicate in Go Contacts. If i merge them in Go Contacts then my SMS/Whatsapp contacts are all ****ed because as far as im aware they rely on the android contacts to get information?

Is there a way to make all programs use Go Contacts as a base for info?
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
I switched to Go Launcher EX from LauncherPro, mainly for aesthetics reasons. In the short time I've been using it, I've come across some things I like, some things I don't like, and some things I don't really worry about:

Pros:

Completely customizable: Go Launcher supports custom skins along with custom fonts. Apps can have their shortcuts on the home screen renamed and their icons replaced.

Apps can be deleted without dragging the icon to the trash can (though the trash can is still there).

Apps can be uninstalled directly from the home screen.

Go Launcher feels snappier in its response.

Neutral:

Widgets are free, although they have to be downloaded.

Widgets can be resized without having to pay for the capability.

Widgets currently cannot be skinned (that is something that is being worked on).

There is no setting to resize or remove the tabs in the App Drawer.

Wallpapers do not scroll in landscape. Instead the wallpaper is scaled to the screen width. I listed this as a "neutral" item simply because the lack of scrolling in landscape for wallpapers doesn't bother me too much, especially with my current wallpaper.

Cons:

Go Launcher's app icon appears in the App Drawer list by default. I'm not so sure it should appear there.

No capability of hiding apps in the App Drawer (which would eliminate the con of Go Launcher appearing in the App Drawer).

The App Drawer has issues with the fonts for the apps. On an app whose name would wrap to a second line, e.g. Beautiful Widgets, the name does wrap, however it is displayed as "Beautif Widget" on two lines.

Font settings are not applied when the Streak is completely shut down and then booted, despite the font setting being recorded in the Go Launcher preferences. One solution, if using a custom font, is to go into Go Launcher's advanced preferences, tap on font, select a different font, then immediately select the original font.

Go Launcher has some work to do, but it is a solid product, and to me is much better than LauncherPro despite its admittedly minor faults.
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] borijess:
You could hide the apps in go launcher. Open the app drawer and hit the menu button.

I had the same problem with merged duplicates and Whatsapp on my HTC Desire. What I did to resolve it, was to go into the stock contacts app, then menu > display options, and under my gmail account I selected all the groups. When I went back, all my merged contacts were back. Went into whatsapp and refreshed the contacts there and some guy named Bob called me claiming to be my uncle.
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
Thanks.

I replied rather quickly and when I last checked out the App Drawer, the menu button didn't respond. I must have been holding it wrong. :D So that eliminates one con. What about the Go Launcher icon? It shouldn't be in the app drawer at all. I know now I can hide it but even so.
