So has anyone noticed the crazy animations for the stock keyboard key preview? This was a last minute addition..haha..its crazy!

As mj said....anyone with any constructive criticism can let me know what you think of the animations..... I still have a lot of different ones that we didn't include.... so the best is yet to come!

Was itching to try a new rom out, awesome work!!! Working great so far
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] purple1:
Is that purple or pink?!?!?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] LikeaG2root:
I just had to post again to say this rom is by far the best I have tried!!! This thing is so fn smooooth! MeXdroid team did one hell of a job! Its like getting a new phone. Even launcher pro, which was buggy, is working so much better. I can't say enough thank yous to meXdroid. You should be on XDA TV, lol.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] TheRomMistress:
It is HOT pink.

Hi All,

Glad to hear tweaKr is working out well... there have been a huge number of changes under the hood since the last version.

The DT a2sd enabler was a last minute idea I had & hacked together yesterday, so was one of the reasons for the slight delay in getting the ROM out... Apologies :o

Something to remember, as I forgot to add it into the main help text, if you manage to bork something (particularly when playing with the cpu voltage levels), there is a tweaKr reset zip on your sdcard (in the tweaKr folder)... just boot into recovery & flash it to remove the autostart entries.

There are a bunch of other cool features in the pipeline which I'm putting the finishing touches on & will begin testing soon.

Lastly, for anyone that has other devices or have ORD & want to be a part of a small beta testing group, send me a PM... Next phase is to get this baby working on a good number of other devices/ROMs :cool:

Cheers

WDS
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Spastic909:
Okay so I wanted to add some apks to a certain rom. After adding the apk's to system/app from the zip, I ran the autosign batch method. Was able to get all apks signed(i think) and also the rom's flashable zip. still getting no luck flashing the "resigned zip", please help please please I just want to add a couple apks to make this the best tom ever. Please help

thanks

How's the battery life of this rom and what is it? AOSP?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] TheNewGuy:
Battery life is good! Make sure you calibrate your battery stats after flashing... battery life is GREAT if you take the time to utilize all the tweaKr options to adjust the cpu/freq/voltage and turn on the smart cpu script! :)

Check it out.. it is way better than smartass governor!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] d12unk13astard:
Thanks for all the updates all of you guys did an amzing job on this rom, thederekjay has also ported this rom over to the mt4g and it has become my daily. Currently beta testing the newest pre ghost chili rom atm. I also wanted to say quadrant results and linpack scores are in the 4000+ for quadrant and over 50mflops in linpack so ya keep up the great work! :D
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] jkoenig00:
Hey great rom guys I'm loving everything! I noticed a couple small things. When I exit an app using the back button, it just flies into the home screen. However, if I use the home key while using an app, it changes to my home screen immediately and that screen flies into the home screen. Maybe someone else can verify? Try opening the xda app and then press the back button then re open it and press the home button. Also the bootsoundtoggle command says that that option is not found. Just thought I'd mention those small things other than that great rom!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] mjybarr:
Glad to see that everyone is enjoying the new release! Keep the feedback coming. Your feedback is very important to us, as it helps us develop bigger and better roms.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] strker45:
Can someone explain the different I/O sheduler options
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] mjybarr:
As far as the "bootsoundtoogle" command....its not in rom...my bad. I forgot to update the OP on that part. Now the OP is updated with the right commands. Now for the animations....both of them fly into the middle of the home screen. So Im not for sure what you are talking about. Then again...Im kinda blind to see things that are right in front of me haha
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] strker45:
Oh and can you explain the Kernel VM Config options as well
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] darkdata:
so far everything running good the 4g working again..has any one tryed SPB Shell 3D on this rom yet?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] jkoenig00:
The animation is the same but the contents of the page that flies into the middle are different in each situation. It seems like you would have to make a separate animation for pressing the home key instead of the back key cause it probably had something to do with not exiting the app. I dunno man it's not a big deal just something I noticed keep up the great work!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] TheNewGuy:
The animations are supposed to be like that.. i am still playing with them... I didn't make it a priority because I thought it made it even more different..... more variation....

I do think I know how to fix it... maybe I will in the next release...

I want to update the toast animation.... i am thinking of making it like and leaf falling down.... that pauses so you can read it... then falls the rest of the way... any ideas?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] jkoenig00:
Hey where is the option to change the clock color and the color of the text in the drop down status bar? I can't read the text for weatherbug cause the bottom half of the notifications fades to black. I thought the options were in cm settings but can't seem to find them...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] mjybarr:
Those color changing options are in froyo, not gingerbread yet...to my knowledge. But I do agree with you, its a little hard to read at times. In the next release I will see what we can do, to make it better.

Having major problems trying to download this rom. RM keeps giving me a Rom download error, and the link in the op keeps getting interrupted and just hangs.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] mjybarr:
Just checked into it. It looks like it might be there server and its just affecting my rom. I updated where I have to upload the roms and I still got an error. I will give it awhile and see if it fixes itself. Don't know if I should depend on that idea haha. But I will wait and see what happens. Until then... download it from the OP.

if you dont want to explain each of the I/O scheduler option in detail, is there one you would recommended using. i look up dealine, noop, bfq and cfq but found nothing about vr and i dont really understand any of them that well
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] TheNewGuy:
Deadline, noop and vr are all good.... they are basically algorithims that decide how to use the system recorces....I really like noop. search google for noop i/O scheduler..
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] jkoenig00:
Screen off animation is not working. I thought it was working but it definitely is not now. I tried un checking, rebooting, etc. Screen on animation works though.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] TheNewGuy:
Did you set the window animations to fast in spare parts?

Leave those at normal and set the transition animations to fast. That is a cm thing.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] jayb222:
Screen off animation works just fine. Be sure you didn't turn off animations in cm settings or speed them up in spare parts. If it still doesn't work, time to wipe!

Also I gotta say, the new rom is reeeeally smooth! Great job! I want to get rid of some of the animations though. Is there an easy way? And is there some sort of tutorial for the under volting, battery saving settings?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] mrbmg:
Feels smooth and fairly stable. Trying to get used to the launcher but having a hard time. Other than that, for the first time flashing this rom, its real up in your face. Getting used to it, just afraid if I flash anything else it will feel so lame, ill always be back lol. Ty guys for all of your hard work.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] misfit61871:
Well so far I'm really really loving 4.2, I like the new tweakr options I'm not sure if some of them as in I don't know what they do.

The transformers boot animation is cool, but can you make an optional one with the decepticon symbol? It looks cooler:)

Other than that it's awesome! You guys kick ass!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Richard1510:
tweaKr is so AWESOME! It makes the best rom on the planet just that much better. Great speed with great battery life what more could one want:D
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] coszy:
Has any one try the new radio .25 with this rom?

I'm going to, and will try to give a feed back
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] jkoenig00:
Fixed it thanks. It looks like the text is only unreadable in the drop down status bar under ongoing. Under notifications the text is grey on black instead of black on black.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ajk1311:
download link in the OP is not working for me.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] AndroidNoober:
After newguy's advise i charge batt to 100 % at 2:20pm now 1am and my bat is at 45%, Jezz u guys rock my g2 world!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] jriv:
download links in o.p. are broken can anyone post some mirrors please
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ajk1311:
Wait a sec, just tried the link on my phone and the rom is downloading now. For some reason it just didn't work on my laptop
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] darkdata:
htop even working good in terminal htop a must have :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] mrbmg:
I used it and got 8 hrs out of my first full run through, in dfw tx. Have mixed thoughts on this radio.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] mrbmg:
After ruunning the battery calibration app, going through a full battery, and running it all the way down to no boot had an issue. This is all after I got the phone booted back up and had it on the charger with 75% battery.

Left 3g/4g on and went out of service area to edge. Came back into coverage for 4g and it was not switching to H or 4g. Clicked off on the notification bar and rechecked it to try and possibly reset it. Whille waiting to get any kind of coverage (no bars) phone rebooted into bootloader all by itself.

I hit reboot in the bootloader, and all is well now with full coverage.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] 144saint:
little off topic?...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] mrbmg:
Well, being my first time to try this rom, I can totally understand his post. Not so much the irrtation, but it is up in your face. Having adhd, its a little much. Though great job deving, I can only imagine the hours put into this.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] dannejanne:
Been trying out the update now a little and it runs great. Good job. Animations are sweet. I miss the old glossy blue notification rectangles though (while pressed).

4G is back in stong action also! Terrific.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] SnowOokami:
Oh! I started using SmartCPU instead of the smartass governor! big difference lol :eek: will try some volts and stuff too ~~
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Cosstas:
Hey. Great rom!!! Really smooth and I'm loving the animations!

I'm definitely a noob so this is probably a dumb question... How do we get the lock-screen and home screen icons you have on your meXdroidMod Pre-GhostChili ((SNEAK PEAK)) youtube video?

Thanx
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] GhostZini:
Simply amazing guys, job well done. Boot is sick, animations are new n exciting, and no problems like fc;s . Sweet

I noticed all FTP server apps do not work!

The ones I tested are: SwiFTP, AndroidSync Manager, IP Webcam, PAW Server, Remote Web, RemoteDroid... and others.

Any solution for this? :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] fade2black101:
Thanks for this ROM. Really like it. However, I was wondering whether it is possible to choose what animations I want? I'm happy with most of them but one of the menu animations I'd quite like to change/disable.

Is this possible?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] TheNewGuy:
What would you like it to be? Is it not fancy enough for you? I think it is kinda boring... but my original idea didn't work out. So I went with a simple idea for now. You can pull the animations from another rom and inject them into this one.... the one you want is the "options_panel_enter" and "options_panel_exit".

If you are interested in making your own. Or modifying mine... you need to look into something called "apk_manager" it is on XDA. It will allow you to decompile the framework-res.apk so you can see the code of the animations. Then you can make changes and recompile.

*NOTE* there are tricks to getting it to work. So if you can't get it figured out by reading the apk_manager thread I can help you out. PM me.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] AndroidNoober:
A noob question, how I install icons? Lol sorry for this stupid question :(
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] d12unk13astard:
really digging the keyboard animations.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] d12unk13astard:
you need an app like bettercut, adwlauncher ex will also let you change and install custom icons but bettercut allows full icon customization.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Alipk52:
Man you gave life to cyanogenmods from your v2 versions, i wish you also put ur hands on sense based roms as well, plz, i know it will be most stable sense rom as well :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] AndroidNoober:
Thanks a lot!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] fade2black101:
Thanks for your response. Changing the animations myself sounds abit tricky and time consuming. Your animations are nice, and more than fancy for me, but there's one where you're scrolling through the menu (i.e. clicking on something in the "settings" menu, etc) that seems abit jumpy to me and could do with the "normal" original animation instead.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] PaganAng3l:
@TheNewGuy. I gotta say I love your idea for popups falling down the screen an pausing to be read the falling the rest of the way. I have another thought too, but I don't know linux well enough to code it so forgive me if I use C+ or visual studios terms describing it. Ok, here goes. What about making a popup or animation that 'assembles' then 'dematerializes'? In C+ it would be similar to coding an array to randomly fill in the pixels and shading, then the same process in reverse on the way out. I hope I made some sort of sence there, lol. Anyway, what do you think?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] AndroidNoober:
Another noob question, do i have to unzip the icon zip? Where?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] atgrande1:
Desktop Visualizer is the best imho.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] fade2black101:
If you have the time, and if it is simple enough for people to do, would you mind explaining how to pull animations from another rom and inject them into your one?

If it's hassle for you then no worries, but maybe this can help others too if they decide to change the animations.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] AndroidNoober:
I download better cut, but only cant find icon zip
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] PaganAng3l:
Are you trying to install the icons from the original post? If so, it won't work. Those are just the icons already included in the rom, they're there for themeing lockscreens and such
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] amazinglarry311:
Changing animations is an easy process, you can be a bad ass like thenewguy and modify them yourself, or you can mix and match from other rooms. I'm not sure if UOT has the ability, but you just need to replace or modify files found in framework-res.apk/res/anim

Then resign and inject the new framework apk to system/framework

Once upon a time I had several flashable zips for transitions, it's not too difficult even for a beginner.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] AndroidNoober:
Ahhh ok lol! Thx!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] fade2black101:
Okay cheers, I think I know what to do now. Just wondering though, since there are so many different animations there, can someone point out to me what the name is of the animation I'm to replace? I'm looking to replace the sliding screen effect you get when, for instance, you click on a link in the "settings" menu.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] TheNewGuy:
Its not as hard as it sounds. All you would need to do is download this stock framework-res.apk

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/25585143/Stock_GB_framework-res.apk

extract it using winrar.

Then take the framework-res.apk from our rom and put it on your comp somewere.

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/25585143/meXdrodMod_Ghost_Chilli_framework-res.apk

click on it..so that the winrar window pops up..but dont extract it...navigate to the /res/anim folder..you will see a list of .xml files...now click on add file....navigate to the same folder inside the stock framework-res.apk that you extracted...and select the two stock animations you want.

they are "activity_open_enter.xml" and "activity_open_exit.xml". now click finish so that winrar adds those files.

You now made a custom framework-res.apk! you can push it to your phone with adb...

adb shell mount -o remount,rw /system
adb push path_to_MODDED_meXdroidMod_Ghost_chilli_framework-res.apk /system/framework

or just copy it to your /system/framework folder on your phone with a file browser like root explorer and then reboot to recovery and wipe dalvik_cache...

you should be good to go!

*NOTE* you can go one step further and click on our rom so that winrar window pops up..navigate to the system/framework folder and click add file...now select the MODDED_Ghost_chilli_framework-res.apk and click finish...You now made a custom ROM...just flash that rom like normal...in this case wipe dalvik_cache and then flash should be ok..

Now if you want to "Go all bad ass" ;) you can try extracting the the stock framework-res.apk with apk_manager.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=695701

***read the thread for more info on how to use apk_manager..or PM me..***

once you have a decompiled framework-res.apk in the projects folder you can view the .xml files in /res/anim with notepad ++

one of the things alot of people want to be able to adjust is the speed of an animation...so for example the "wallpaper_close_enter.xml" and "wallpaper_close_exit.xml" are responsible for the app opening transition...

So, you could add or subtract an even amount of time from all the

android:duration="1200"

That would adjust the speed similiar to using spare parts.

If anyone actually wants to learn this stuff I will make another post for apk_manager instructions...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] jayb222:
Mod Edit

Now for the animations questions, I managed to change some animations to some less time consuming but still pleasant to look at ones by using metamorph. I believe I'm using miui window transitions now. And I changed the boot screen back to the last one they used. Mexdroidmod with the lightning. Because, although I liked the new transformers, I didn't want it as a start up to my phone. It's perfect now for me and easily my everyday driver!!!! Thanks!!!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] lu270bro:
Love the theme on this rom! Is there a theme.apk that is available separately to install on CM7?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] fade2black101:
Thanks for the instructions.. Will most likely look into this in the future. At the moment though I'm just trying to replace the animation I was talking about earlier. Can you shed some light on what that specific one is called?

Also, I replaced a couple files in the framework res apk, and then used root manager to overwrite the corresponding file in the system/framework folder. But once I did this the phone rebooted and now it just keeps repeating the boot animation without ever going past that screen? Did I do something wrong?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Lazy361:
I believe like 3 pages back he said it was called "options...panel..enter" and "options....panel....exit"
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] fade2black101:
Oh ok cheers.. Will try again. Not sure why it's not working though and causing this boot up animation loop.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Lazy361:
Hi Guys....just wanted to say Great Rom! Congrats on another successful release! So smooth, I'm likin tweaKr.

If I may...and just for improving the next update...in landscape mode when someone is calling the sliding tabs are screwed up. Ha! Sad that's the only think I can say needs improvment.... Rom is Perfect my G's!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] TheNewGuy:
There are lots of things that could have gone wrong..Look back over my post. The ones I was talking about are for you..try to copy this one to your phone..

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/25585143/MODDED_meXdroidMod_Ghost_Chilli_framework-res.apk
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] TheNewGuy:
Sorry at that post I thought he was talking about a different set of animations...

options_panel_enter/exit are for the menu open/close

the activity_open_enter/exit are for the one that you get if you select an option in settings..
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Lazy361:
...sorry bout that.

Is anyone having problems with WiFi?

I'm trying to connect to my home wifi...I enter the wep...it finds it, connects...I see the wifi signal at the top...the it goes away...say "disabled, secured by wpa/wpa2 psk". Wtf? I just entered it...when I say connect it remembers and authenticates it...then just doesn't actually connect

EDIT: I downloaded and ran FXR WiFi , rebooted...and whatever it did it fixed... bc I can and am connected now.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] d3mon_fx:
Wow, just wow. This rom keeps getting better and better and finally my wife can have the same great rom on her phone without getting confused and taking mine. You guys rock!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] fade2black101:
Tried the one you uploaded but still get the same problem :-( not sure why it's not working properly! Don't know what to do next.

Thanks anyway though
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] RL72:
*Mod Edit*

I don't think there's enough ROMS or themes that completely appeal to me. While I liked the blue themed ROM ... the pink I love! Kudos to the team for making something that appeals to us women "nerds" and all others who may want a change from the standard. But in all honesty who cares who's downloading what and why or the reasoning behind the colors the team may choose .... even if they made the pink themed rom for ONE person that's awesome.
