I am by no means a chef, I have simply been sourcing all of the info I can find to create my own custom ROM, during that time I have found a multitude of posts from people like myself asking for help or information on building our own android roms.

I am not going to waffle about stuff I dont know much about but simply post links for you to read and learn from for yourself, enjoy.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sLiKK:
Im running Axura 2.2.5.7 with voodoo enabled. Is there any way to add a feature to the current rom that notifies you when the battery is fully charged? This feature was included in the first OTA update of stock 2.1 by Samsung. Basically what the feature did was show a battery icon (that says 100%) in the notification tray and also played a notification sound. This would let me know that the battery is fully charged and its time to unplug the phone. This benefits the battery life in the long run. I am wondering if such a feature can be added into a custom rom.

Please reply if you know how to go about doing it.

Thanks.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lethal_NFS:
Update to 2.2.6.0 and I think the battery icon always shows a percentage.

find out your HBOOT version and flash either

for 2.02

or

http://www.multiupload.com/VLFJ3L99PE

for 2.10

that should restore it 100% back to sprint if its rooted you will lose it and have to re-root

[Droid X General] preusstang:
Hey guys,

Im new to the forums but i've been trying out roms for a little while. First stock -> zapX -> rubiX blurry -> apex -> rubiX focused -> and now fission 2.5.7 (blacked out)

I liked apex the best but recently I was getting reboots. W/o changing the clocking or voltage or anything..

Any way, fission and rubix seem a little faster and I really like the fission download manager thing. Real simple.

I also like their version of the email app. Very nice.

To the point now,

The dialer is awesome (black theme with green highlights)

The rotary unlock is off the chain

The contact listing - im not a fan of the way the image thumbs are displayed ( looks choppy and the 3 side border looks weird to me)

During a phone call the facebook image shown looks to be a blowup of the tiny contact thumb. Apex used another sized thumb I believe. Way more aesthetically pleasing

The txt messaging in both fission and rubiX is not customizable at all! Not anything like the dialer or contact listing. I don't like how it looks as if im in MSN or IRC

I don't mean to offend any devs, I love you guys. And im not asking for features.

How would I combine the parts that I liked from each rom? I mean, is the dial pad in fission and rubix part of the theme or the phone app? Or is it part of the rom somehow? The contact listing is in the same window as the dialer but could I change the way it looks with a theme or ninjamorph or something?

Also the txt messaging.. I liked the one in apex WAY better. But I don't know if I could just grab the apk and put it in fission.. is it just an apk id replace or is it tied to other things?

Sorry for the massive post and obvious ambiguity. Thanks for any help.
[Droid X General] Jmoney47:
Try searching the market for the alternate apps that you want. For messaging I would suggest that you look up handcent because it is highly customizable and you should be able to make it look how you want

As for the others, I haven't really looked for those yet, but if I find anything that might help you I'll post it
[Droid X General] preusstang:
Can't stand handcent or gosms.. I just loaded liberty today tho and the messaging is at least black now. I can live w. that. I just hope that someone fixes the in-call pictures because they are all blown up and NASTY!
[Android Apps and Games] rob22202:
Hi All.

Just got my DX last week. I am liking the DX, except for the bootloader issue and the back/home/menu/search "hard" keys. I really miss the "soft" keys on the D1. These feel a little awkward and I also worry that they will wear out or break over time.

I installed an app called "softkeys" that gives me a floating bar with on-screen back/home/menu/search buttons and I am pretty happy with that. I have also seen the soft key application that places the keys on the side of the screen and lets them slide in or out.

But I would love to find one that shifts the screen up to allow soft back/home/menu/search to always remain on the bottom of the screen and out of the way?

Is it possible? Anyone know of such an app?

Thanks,

Rob

if you wanna play with loading other ROMs, learn about xRecovery menu and study the posts in the DEV thread

if you wanna customise the way your device looks, then read up on editing the framework-res files and learn how to edit the files using photoshop etc

if you wanna just have a hack around with the phone just cruise through the forums....there is always something new and exciting to read up on :)

You can also rename RUU_signed.nbh into leoimg.nbh and copy leoimg.nbh to your sd-card by using a card-reader, then get your screen in bootloader-mode and follow the instructions on your screen, when the update is completed, give a softreset, that should do the trick.

[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] audit angel:
flashing back to windows phone 6.5

ensure the phone is charged more than 50%

switch the phone off

(at the same time) press the end key (hang up) and the volume down button. this will get you into the tri colour screen.

at the bottom of this screen should be written serial, at this point plug the phone into the pc, the "serial" should change to usb.

on the pc you should hear the usb plugged in confimation sound and the safely remove usb should show a device called "Qualcomm CDMA technologies MSM"

at this point start Custom RUU and proceed to flash the device as normal.

tried to make it as simple as possible

hope this helps.
