Love to try it out but not for 15 bucks.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] :
Well... There are places you can find it. But that isn't to be discussed here anyway. I tried it out, and it was surprisingly smooth, but I'd be concerned about how much battery the thing uses if you were to use it long term. I played around with it for a few minutes. It's a cool concept and all. But not really worth the money. In the end I deleted it. I'd like to see how it progresses and if they have a price drop.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Smabbage:
Well, for what it's worth, I kept SPB Shell. I like the over all look. Granted, I don't like that I can't place icons where I want them but for me that's not a deal breaker. I like the 3D effect and the 3D widgets. It's really smooth on the Incredible. I got around the fact that it doesn't have a dock by using Dock4Droid. They work well together. And don't get me started on how well Moboplayer works... :)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] ihtfp69:
It has no support for live wallpaper either which is a deal breaker here. It should support at minimum what the stock launcher does.

Homescreen not rotating

I've been running CM7 RC4 for a few days now and love it. But today, seemingly at random, my home screens no longer rotate from portrait to landscape, although other apps will. Just before this began, I had changed some things in the ADW settings only relative to the launcher appearance itself, nothing more. I've rebooted, wiped cache, etc. Nothing.

Can anyone help?

Thanks! (and yes, I've searched the forum)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] userjf:
Make sure you did not lock it in memory, and make sure you have the option for it to rotate.

What is the current kernal number of cm7
[Droid Incredible Android Development] byrong:
Apologies if I'm stating the obvious, but when you are looking at your home screen, you are looking at ADW. So if you changed ADW settings, that is why your home screen is no longer rotating.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] papasmurph:
No apologies necessary...its not that obvious, especially when someone, such as myself, never really thought about it that much. I went back into ADW and did the 'reset' option, and voila, its back to rotating. Is it just a bug or something, because there is nothing about screen rotation in the ADW settings.

I have to hunt it down every time I do a full wipe. It's a little burried.

RM and CWM

I am having great results running the latest nightly #35.

Ever since #32 I think it was, I have only backup, cleared cache file and flashed.

I will pay for premium Rom Manager and see if it will perform the tasks such as backup, flash and recover.

Lately I can tap a selection and nothing happens.

I end up using the app just to download a ROM and have to manually backup and install the ROM.

Is this an issue with using the non paid app?

Can someone point me in the direction of a link to explore this..?

Otherwise these ROMs are awesome.

WiFi tether is the ONLY way that my poor Fathom can keep an internet connection active….

I will happily donate $4.99 USD to show appreciation for the development of cwm and the like.

The paid version just lets you download cm7 nightlies. You can backup, flash, and recover with the free one. If the free one does not work, the paid one will not work either.

Try this: long-press the app in TB, then click "Attach to Market (forced)"

If that doesn't do it, I'd say just uninstall the apps and re-install them through the market.

I seem to have lost track of the setting to turn off the carrier name on the lock screen and status bar. Can anyone point me in the right direction. I know I used to be able to do this on older CM builds (CM6), not sure if it is still in there. I think it was called PRML Display or something like that. Loving me some CM7 RC4 and Chad.

thanks
[Droid Incredible Android Development] GatorsUF:
I had similar problem with Go Launcher. To fix it, I had to "backup configuration" then it would be fine after restart. You don't have to restore each time, just back it up and for whatever reason that fixed it.

Not sure if this is the same for LPP. Many people have mentioned the FC issue with LPP, not sure on best measure for that.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] papasmurph:
Never saw anything like that. I might not have been clear enough in an earlier post, but the issue was resolved by simply doing the "reset" option in ADW. After I did that my home screens rotated properly again.

Thanks for the quick responses everyone!

Anyone else getting random slowdowns on #36? Im attributing it to DSP Manager because it always freezes a couple of minutes after it force closes. Ive removed it but it still has it. Im on the stock kernel on 998mhz and yet it still freezes....
[Droid Incredible Android Development] bradm23:
Does the theme Chooser basically go to recovery and flash the theme for you like rom manager? If not what is the preferred method to flash themes?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] userjf:
No, the chooser uses app-packed themes and installs them that way, no flashing or recovery, but the themes have to be written and packaged that way.

The chooser is convenient, but some people have had strange problems with it, and it will likely change your ringtone to the theme's ringtone so don't be surprised about that.

Some themes are available in chooser format, and others are flash only... so it depends on the theme for how you install it.

I tested out tiamats newest kernel yesterday. Was at about 60% batt after 10 hours and wake up was shakey.. Few times I had to pull the battery because the display wouldnt wake..

I've noticed this in the past with Tiamat its quite intermittent could on off animations have anything to do with this? I did disable them but seeing as my problem comes and goes as it please it could be a week before I can say its gone but by then I'll have flashed my phone about a dozen times..

[Droid Incredible Android Development] johnchad14:
Had my first big issue crop up with RC4. Worked fine about 3 days, then I started having the screen refuse to turn on after locking. Bottom buttons light up, but screen would not turn on at all. Had to hard reset. SD card seems to have been fried in the process and can't be formatted now even. I wanted to blame the card...but it did it again with a new card. After flashing nightly 36 everything seems to be ok again.

Anyone experience anything like that? Tried searching for it but found nothing.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] C Brown:
Yep same deal excluding the memory card. What kernel are you using? I experience it with Tiamat but not incredikernel or inviseblek.

Anyone care to chime....
[Droid Incredible Android Development] johnchad14:
Ah yes my other RC4 issue I had forgotten...after the freezes repeated I tried to flash nightly #36 and found that I could not reboot into CWM at all. Had to reflash a recovery in ROM manager to get that resolved. I ended up flashing it in amon ra successfully. Didn't try it on any CWM.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] GatorsUF:
Launcher = LP+ or GO Launcher

Clock = Beautiful Widgets or Fancy Widget

contacts = photo contact widget

calendar = Pure Grid calendar.

The above are all very similar to sense widgets, however id suggest there are better looks for your phone than the "sense" look.

Reboot Recovery

Wipe Data/Cache

Flash zip correct?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] elpeterson:
Are you just flashing over? Or doing a full wipe?

Flashing Over:

1. Wipe Cache Partition

2. Wipe Dalvik Cache (advanced)

3. Flash zip

Full Wipe:

1. Wipe Data/Factory Reset

2. Wipe Cache Partition

Go into Mounts and Storage

3. Wipe System

4. Wipe Data

5. Wipe Cache

Go into Advanced

6. Wipe Dalvik Cache

7. Wipe Battery Stats

8. Install zip (ROM)

9. Power off/on, the boot back into recovery

10. Install zip (GApps)

11. Power off/on

Its a little redudant, but I consider it thorough.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] C Brown:
Cool maybe its not tied to the kernel. Hey you should turn off all screen animations I still havent had it happen since yesterday. If you end up not having the issue maybe its attributed to the screen on screen off animations.

I just started to play with it. I like it but do miss the people app from the Sense roms... especially the Z roms. I loved the integration that it had with linkedin and facebook. and the people widget that had there last facebook or linkedin comments was GREAT. I am still not completely sold on this rom as I have been running into some errors with installing apps from the market. I keep getting invalid package and FC's in some apps. but that is what you get when trying the latest and greatest.

Ether way I would say try it out because everyones opinion is just that... an OPINION.

Have a great day flashing...

Is the Vivid theme a flashable theme, or is it a ThemeChooser theme?

If you flashed it, then yes, just pull the dialer (Phone.apk) from the RC4 zip package if you want it back to stock.

If you are doing it through Theme Chooser, then no, I'm not aware of a way to selectively undo parts of a theme.

[Droid Incredible Android Development] elpeterson:
pulled this from /system/app/

for future reference, grab root explorer or a decent file manager. everything (for the most part) on your phone is held in /system/app/
[Droid Incredible Android Development] byrong:
Well you didn't really answer the original question. Did you flash Vivid, or did you apply it through the ThemeChooser?

If Vivid is being applied through ThemeChooser, the Phone.apk won't matter. ThemeChooser gives your phone instructions on how to redirect to new icons, etc. So if you are using ThemeChooser, the theme will always override.

Changing the apk will only be effective if the theme was a flashable package.

Not speaking about you specifically, but more in general: I think a lot of people fail to realize what they are doing when they flash a theme. A lot of people imagine it as modifying what is currently on their phone. This is not the case. A flashable theme is literally just replacing your old stock apk's with themed versions of the apk's. This is why a flashed theme has to match your ROM version. This is also one of the reasons flashing themes can result in bootloops: people don't realize they are replacing their framework completely.

This is also why multiple themes/mods can't just be flashed one after the other with the proper effect. For example, if you want to flash a battery mod from user A, then flash notification icons mods from user B, you will lose the battery mod. Neither of the mods was modifying the framework: just straight-up replacing it.

ThemeChooser uses a completely different approach. It does not replace any files on your phone. Instead, it tells the system, "Hey, whenever you're told to show the stock battery icon, show this replacement icon instead."

This is why ThemeChooser themes can be used without care for what version ROM you're on. This makes them more convenient, but it also introduces some weird bugs here and there, since the system is redirecting resources on the fly.

MetaMorph/ZipThemer themes are another story entirely. They do attempt to modify the framework/apks that are currently being run. This is why you can successfully pick-and-choose mods and/or apply multiple mods.

I use my own compromise, which is admittedly quite cumbersome. I unpacked a ThemeChooser apk that someone had made, and got rid of the icons/effects I didn't want applied. Then I had to rename/restructure the icons and their folder locations before I created a MM/ZT pack. Now, when I install a new nightly, I use ZipThemer with my saved theme. This avoids any bugs that come from using ThemeChooser and allows me to instantly theme any new nightly. Of course, it is far less convenient than just using ThemeChooser and it requires a bit of know-how to port the theme over the first time.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] elpeterson:
i think an explanation like this, that everyone can agree on, belongs as a sticky in the themes section.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Doctor Butts:
Latest two nightlies gave me a bunch of force close issues and would constantly drop network and wifi. Rolling back because I don't wan't to do a full wipe
[Droid Incredible Android Development] C Brown:
What force closed and what steps did you take to flash?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] kzoodroid:
+1 on the sticky in themes section. Great post byrong, very informative. I think a lot of peoples issues with force closings and boot loops are cause by them flashing a new rom version over a themed version. I expereinced this myself with a vivid themed version of RC3 and got force closes and boot loops when I flashed RC4 over it. Once I went back to an unthemed version of RC3 RC4 flashed over with no problems.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] userjf:
That shouldn't matter. If you flash RC4 over a themed RC3, ALL of the files are overwritten with RC4 and you just lose your theme.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] fp99:
I have flashed RC's and nightlies over roms that were themed and this is what happens. The themed rom is overwritten by the newly flashed rom theme. (also, you get all the fixes :))
