oic. ok so I did that back in the beginning and I still have the f/c error guess i have another problem elsewhere. omg I really hate the multi touch keyboard!!!! lol if anyone has any ideas im all ears. thanks

Edit: ok soi got the beta swype installed but I now have a new problem. I have the beta swype keyboard but can only enter text as character by character. I cannot swipe to text. when I try to it just doesn't answer anything. so I think I have deleted something I should not have, so anyone with an answer I would greatly appreciate it. thanks :)
[Bravo General] TimelesslyPrecise:
If you switch to the android keyboard, then back to swype, it should work fine... You will have to do this between every reboot..

lmk if it helps

Sent from my MB520
[Bravo General] MCFarmfresh:
That works perfectly, thanks! :) p.s. The new look of the swype keyboard alone is enough reason to make the switch imo. ;)
[Bravo General] dynojunkee:
That's exactly why I wanted to switch too. Its beautiful compared to its former self. Now all it needs is a matching status bar!
[Bravo General] bandroidx:
hey guys, i was ill last week but am back working on the ROM and am just about done, I should have it out to testers by tomorrow.
[Bravo General] bandroidx:
Ok all, i have a beta ready to go out to my testers. who is still interested?

Features of BravoX Beta 1:

-Fully deodexed app and system

-fully theme-able

-zip aligned optimized apk's

-bloat removed (att apps, where, yp, etc)

-atrix media added (thanks poster!)

-wireless tether included

-enables non-market installs (trying to get button added in next beta)

-atrix forest wallpaper (forest that changes w/ weather - cool)

-various optimizations

Requirements:

-my bravo bootstrap app (with custom recovery)
[Bravo General] MCFarmfresh:
Awesome! I am still interested let me know when you are ready :)
[Bravo General] bandroidx:
check your PM.
[Bravo General] bandroidx:
so far atleast to me, it seems faster. maybe its the optimizations and deodexing, i have read that it actually speeds things up. (i always assumed they odexed to make it faster, which i have read is wrong)
[Bravo General] bandroidx:
check ur pm too.
[Bravo General] dynojunkee:
Sick! This is great news! Glad you are feeling better! Will be getting your bootstrap soon!

Can't wait to customize! Thanks for your hardwork! In return, I'm up for testing it out if you need more help!

Heading out of town today but ill be keeping up!
[Bravo General] jorgonv:
i don't have your bootstrap yet, but can you still send me the rom?
[Bravo General] heydabop:
:D
[Bravo General] notyourstar:
I would love to test if you need more.
[Bravo General] hippyman:
I would love to test, buying your app later tonight.
[Bravo General] zachthepack:
When you flash do you loose everything?
[Bravo General] MCFarmfresh:
Have ad it up and running for about an hour and you are right it does feel faster. Had no problems getting it up and running. Thanks bandroidx! Will keep ya posted :)
[Bravo General] heydabop:
Nope, you shouldn't :D

Side note, if anyone has Swype beta, I'd advise uninstalling or disabling it before flashing the ROM, after flash Swype kept FC'ing every 15 seconds until I disabled it and the re-did the beta installing procedure. (including removing current .apk and libSwypeCore.so)
[Bravo General] MCFarmfresh:
I was just checking back here for the exact same issue. So im gonna try your fix. Gosh I really hate.multi touchkeyboard!!!!
[Bravo General] heydabop:
Pay attention to the status bar. ;)

Now that I've confirmed that's working, time to get a more complete theme with white icons and such.

Also, in other news, here are some very early draft boot animation screen shots.

[Bravo General] dynojunkee:
Looking good!

Installed the bootstrapper and hoping to check out the rom soon.

Can't wait until I have to pick and choose my ROM!
[Bravo General] heydabop:
Just finished a quick boot animation for the release of bandroidx's ROM :D (which just might be tomorrow, if all goes well)
[Bravo General] TimelesslyPrecise:
I can do some testing.. :)

throw a few links my way, and let's see what turns up..

[Bravo General] dynojunkee:
Sweet deal! Flashed it this morning so far so good! Sitting in a hospital waiting room just toying around. So awesome!
[Bravo General] MCFarmfresh:
Ok well I have a problem which I am almost positive doesn't have anything to do with the rom but nevertheless I cannot figure out. I was having a problem with swype beta force closing after flashing. So I uninstalled and reinstalled SB and still having f/c. So I used recovery to restore to a point before I flashed and before I installed swype beta. I then refllashed the rom and then reinstalled swype beta only to have the same results with having it force close. Any one have any ideas??
[Bravo General] dynojunkee:
Not sure about your Swype issue. After flashing, all I had to do was remove swype.apk, I couldn't even find the other core file in my search. Then I reinstalled the beta and everything is working smoothly! And quick!
[Bravo General] MCFarmfresh:
Can others who have installed the rom report battery performance? I am just wanting to either confirm something or see if it was a fluke. Seemed my battery dropped from 80% this morning to like 30% in like 2 hours. Like I said though, could have been a fluke or I am wrong about the starting percentage
[Bravo General] dynojunkee:
I've been running this rom all morning using my phone nearly constantly for 3-4 hours, and im still in the green!! I would post and say it improved for me, lol.
[Bravo General] heydabop:
I was having similar Swype problems. It seems the beta (or stock) is leaving files after being uninstalled. I did a search with Root Explorer and found "/data/app/com.swype.android.inputmethod-1.apk", "/data/data/com.swype.android.inputmethod", and "/data/data/com.android.providers.downloads/app_sslcache/beta.swype.com.433", after uninstalling and removing /system/app/Swype.apk and /system/lib/libSwypeCore.so. I also found some files in the dalvik cache, so remember to clear that out in cwm recovery along with the normal cache. Swype seems to be working now, I'll see if it holds up to a reboot later.
[Bravo General] bandroidx:
Let me know if ur still having the problem. I can prob help.

do you guys want me to remove swype from the rom? if i do, you will have to install the beta. because the phone comes with swype, i am allowed to include it in the rom per swype's rom rules.
[Bravo General] bandroidx:
if anything you should have better life. probably an app sucked up alot of juice. or maybe cause u were playing with it so much?

I am also getting slightly better life.

the rom should really only improve the battery life due to less bloat services running. i didnt change anything that would make it get worse for sure.
[Bravo General] bandroidx:
I am testing a new test version w/ the new boot animation thanks to heydabop!
[Bravo General] dynojunkee:
I would love to see Swype removed!

Im a little confused because after I flashed, Swype worked perfectly for me, but after rebooting, I get the inputmethod error unexpectedly. Yet, I can't find libSwypecore file anywhere. Disabled and uninstalled beta, but now im having trouble getting the beta back installed without any errors because I've yet to locate that file and I know I haven't deleted it since flashing.

P.s. quickly learning the habit of rebooting before sharing my findings. ;).
[Bravo General] bandroidx:
I am going to look into doing 2 roms or maybe a way to pick if ur using swype beta or not.

if people are not on swype beta then they can use the rom as is no problem. if they use swype beta then they need to work around that with the current beta because the rom puts the deodexed swype back in /system/app. maybe i will check for swype beta installation and skip that file or something.

the next beta with heydabop's awesome boot animation is ready. i will send it out to a few testers soon. if u havent gotten the link yet dont worry, i will have a public beta out to you all to test a little later after work.
[Bravo General] dynojunkee:
New rom with boot animation working well.

Is the boot animation suppose to be continuous? Looks cool though. Still working on the ball drop/floor cracking?

Also, still having Swype trouble for some reason, I'll post more on that later if necessary, traveling atm. Can't seem to get the swype installer to work anymore.
[Bravo General] bandroidx:
yeah heydabop is still working on the other animation too.

as far as swype, let me see if i can do a rom up that will remove swype from the phone so ull be clear to install the beta. its prob a mix of swype lib's that are the problem or something.
[Bravo General] heydabop:
If you have Root Explorer,(after uninstalling) search for Swype, delete anything that isn't on the sdcard, then try installing. Worked for me. Make sure to mount as R/W in Root Explorer.

Here are some more theme screenshots. It's crude and unfinished, but it works.

[Bravo General] bandroidx:
Nice! want to add that to the rom! Looks super awesome!

anyone have any objections?
[Bravo General] dynojunkee:
You two guys rock! Keep it up, love what I'm seeing!
[Bravo General] sdrawkcab3:
Wow, that looks fantastic! I vote that you definitely get that in the ROM!
[Bravo General] dynojunkee:
Sweet deal, Swype is smooth again after taking the above advice and removing everything, with the exception that I have to re-select Swype keyboard after reboot.

Also, I'm loving the new layout but I think the colored icons in the bar should be streamlined with the Android green or a slight variation, or, at the very least, the same color whether it be blue, orange, green, or whatever. I just think its easier on the eyes when you are looking at the rest of the screen. I understand that its not finished yet, just another suggestion as I'm along for the ride and enjoying it!
[Bravo General] TimelesslyPrecise:
Swype..

Personally,

I prefer to have the stock swype installed...

though, taking into consideration the many others who prefer the beta, i think it might be feasible if we could get a .zip file which will extract the stock swype files where they belong..??

This will leave a nice clean rom for those who prefer the Beta, and also allow those who prefer the stock, to simply restore them via the Bootstrap.

I'm not that into switching keyboards every time the phone reboots...

Is it only the two files as referenced earlier in the post?

How can i work to help in making a CWM ready .zip with the stock swype?

P.S.

patiently waiting on download links for the beta rom.. :]
[Bravo General] silvagroup:
Swype: which ever one will give the least grief, after all it will also be a new rom don't need to many issues that can reek havoc.

Also have bootstrap installed an working.
[Bravo General] heydabop:
Yea, I'm working on that now that UOT kitchen is back up. I was just seeing where icons went in the .apk and was making sure changing them was possible.

Is that a feature request for the ROM? Cause you have to have the bootstrap and cwm to install the ROM. I might be misreading what you're saying though.
[Bravo General] jorgonv:
i think he was just saying that he got bootstrap on his phone and it is working
[Bravo General] heydabop:
*headdesk* That makes a lot more sense.

More theme pictures. Can't seem to get white text....I'm gonna look around in the .apk at some point and hopefully find something.

[Bravo General] dynojunkee:
Nice! Very nice! Thanks for the response and great work at wonderful speeds.

Sorry to rush ahead of you. I'm very stoked for this.
[Bravo General] heydabop:
So from what I can see XML files have been changed accordingly to make the text white. But that isn't happening...so I guess this moto status bar gets text color info from a different location than other's. :confused:
[Bravo General] heydabop:
Anyone having market troubles? Keeps fc'ing on me when it tries to install an app. I fear I may have messed something up with all the theming...
[Bravo General] TimelesslyPrecise:
No market troubles for me..

Just went and updated three apps, and downloaded three more. :) must be something freaky on your end.

On RC1 release no issues so far.

Boot screen looks great!!

Bandroid, there is a 3g wifi app that came stock on the phone, which is a p.i.a. App, ( pain in the ss), it can be removed since google wifi tether is added...

It is in system/apps and it is mynet.apk

Sent from my MB520
[Bravo General] bandroidx:
thanks i missed that, heading to bed now but will do it tomorrow.
[Bravo General] MCFarmfresh:
Love all the progress do far and just to clarify, battery issue I posted on was a total fluke. After I posted I put the phone on the charger at 20% for about 20 minuets and took out off and the phone wa 90% battery so I don't know what that was all about but everything is normal now. I've just been working non stop since yesterday morning and have just been able to get some rest and catch up. You guys are awesome though, keep it up!
[Bravo General] jorgonv:
I got the AT&T and ticker fonts changed to white. They are in the status_bar.xml in the /res/layout of the framework-res.apk.

The date (when you pull down the notificition bar) and the clock can be changed in the services.jar (deodexed)

Here the zip with the xml in it. Just open (don't unzip) the framework-res.apk with WinRAR (or another of your choice) and replace the current xml with the one below.
[Bravo General] heydabop:
Thanks, just looked at it, can't beleive I didn't think to change that field. :p

About to flash it along with a UOT kitchen theme I modded, hopefully it works.

Also, I have a zip from UOT kitchen for a small battery icon mod if anyone wants it. I can't guarantee it won't mess up your market, as I'm not sure what messed up mine, but I seem to have gotten it fixed anyway.

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/308440/snap20110504_173045.png

Kinda need to change the default SMS icon too, for those of us who don't like using custom notifiers. :P
[Bravo General] dynojunkee:
Nice! I'm loving that battery icon! Ill give it a shot!

I can't wait to get home and mess with some of this stuff myself. Keep up the good work!
[Bravo General] heydabop:
I'll upload a battery icon zip for cwm when I'm home.

EDIT: Okay, if anyone wants to have the battery icon I showed earlier, flash this zip in cwm recovery. DO NOT TRY THIS IF YOU DON'T HAVE BANDROIDX'S ROM. I can almost guarantee it won't work. Chances are it will cause a boot loop, disabling fc's, etc. Just don't flash this if you don't have bandroidx's ROM. Also, another heads up, my market wasn't working last night, I don't know if it was this .apk or something else I did. So this may break your market. I doubt it was this apk tho, and my market works now. So...just a heads up there. Also, clear your cache and dalvik cache just in case. :O Anyway, now that you've read all that, here's the link. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/308440/UOT-05-04-07-25-1-battery.zip

Again, DO NOT FLASH IF YOU DON'T HAVE BANDROIDX'S ROM. If you have his ROM, everything should work, key word being should, I guarantee nothing.
[Bravo General] bandroidx:
I am putting the finishing touches on a release candidate you guys can have at so you can start using heydabop's theme work. i will put it up soon.

i also wouldnt try flashing his theme w/o my deodexed rom as heydabop has said.

Also, who here had an atrix? I believe someone had a bravo and an atrix?

edit: have to fix one thing, will release when i wake up. hitting the sack now. pm me if you have an atrix, i need someone w/ an atrix to test something.
[Bravo General] heydabop:
Looks like my theme work will be coming to a halt for a short while. The motor of my computer's pump burned out, so until I get a new one, I'll be without my desktop.
[Bravo General] dynojunkee:
No! That's rather unfortunate about your desktop! I did flash your battery zip and everything went smoothly. Thanks! Also, I downloaded something from the market to verify that it isn't affected. Working good for me!!
[Bravo General] heydabop:
Great! Glad it worked for you.
[Bravo General] bandroidx:
Ok I got all the bugs worked out and I think it's ready for public testing.

May i present the first ROM for the Motorola Bravo:

BravoX RC2 by bandroidX

Includes:

-Fully Deodexed Framework and Apps

--Deodexed means fully themeable

-Optimized/zip aligned apks

-Bloatware Removed:

--All ATT Bloat (except FM Radio app)

--Vlingo, Where and YP

--Vsuite voice commander is gone

-Atrix Forest Live Wallpaper (weather changing)

-Atrix ringtones and notifications

-Wifi Tethering is included

-New bootanimation thanks to heydabop!

-Minor tweaks/enhancements

-stock swype (deodexed) included

-you will retain root, superuser, busybox, and bravo recovery.

NOTE: if you have swype beta I would recommend uninstalling it first and ridding your phone of all swype beta files. then flash the rom, then remove the stock swype and its lib and then install swype beta. if you are using stock swype you can just flash the rom.

Instructions

1) Bootstrap Recovery using my bootstrap recovery app (found in the android market, now that I am done with the ROM I will focus on finishing the ad supported version of the app, for now please consider supporting my work and buying recovery from the market)

2) Perform a nandroid backup.

3) Dont wipe anything!

4) Select to flash the zip from your sdcard.

5) reboot. the update.zip will wipe your dalvik cache for you which will slow down your next boot, let it take a while, dont pull the battery.

6) Go to about and confirm it says bravoX RC2. The boot animation should be good proof the flash worked too :)

dl link short: http://bit.ly/lFVth4

Download Link2: http://ubuntuone.com/p/rBu/

Enjoy! Consider flashing heydabop's battery mod, hopefully many more will use the rom as a starting point, i encourage you to make some cool flashable themes!

I also have something to go with the rom for those who want to make a donation and at the same time make their lives a little easier. I just put an app in the market that lets you easily enable the unknown sources check box so you can enable and disable installing non-market apps. I felt this was easier than the current method and doesnt require buying sqlite editor so that saves you some money becuase I think my app is less money ;) It should work on all att motorola phones. I decided to do this after having problems getting the box to show up in the rom. In my rom i believe it should let you install non-market apps in most cases but not always and you wont get the check box to turn it on and off. And then i realized i could do it in an app so i did ;) Its really just a makes life easier thing, so after an update or flashing a rom, or whatever you can run my app to enable it. it only requires temp root too to do the action and allows setting back to stock. https://market.android.com/details?id=com.bandroidx.nmaenabler
[Bravo General] heydabop:
Both of those can (and should) be flashed in cwm recovery. I'm not sure if it's necessary, but I advise wiping cache and dalvik cache when you flash these. These are only for bandroidx's ROM, don't try and use these on the stock ROM, they will mess a lot of thing's up. Also, it couldn't hurt to backup /system/framework/framework-res.apk before flashing either of these. Either through adb pull or root explorer copy or whatever.

Battery icon theme: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/308440/UOT-05-04-07-25-1-battery.zip

All that does is change the battery icon in the status bar, I think there are images a page back.

And then I have a zip for this if anyone wants it.

It's not finished, as one can tell by the black clock and grey date text. I also forgot to change the status bar icon for no signal, and didn't try to change the icons for new text message, completed market install, and a few more. There might be some other things I missed. However, it works, or at least appears to. (Once again though, I don't guarantee it will) It also comes with new window animations, and a glow effect around pop-up windows. If anyone finds out how to make the clock and date text white, they get a prize. I'll get back to work on it myself when I fix my computer, hopefully sometime next week. Now that that's out of the way, here's the zip. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/308440/UOT-05-03-20-04-2-mod-wt-2-1.zip
[Bravo General] hippyman:
I put it on my SD card, and on CWM it won't show up. Any suggestions?

Correction: I put it on my SD card, and it won't show up in general, even under files.
[Bravo General] bandroidx:
the rom or heydabop's theme?
[Bravo General] hippyman:
I tried putting the rom, from both dl sources, onto my SD card and they won't show up after supposedly putting them on there.
[Bravo General] bandroidx:
what you can try is this....

rename the file to update.zip

then copy the file to your sd card (either using adb push or take the card out, etc)

then load cwm and choose "install update.zip from sdcard"

then it should work.

if that doesnt work, go into adb shell and do a ls -l and make sure the file is listed.

If someone else can download and make sure there is not a problem with the link and post back too that would be great. I flashed the zip on my bravo w/o issue.
[Bravo General] hippyman:
I don't know what happened, but all of a sudden after the 6th try it worked.
[Bravo General] hippyman:
Thank you Bandroidx, this rom feels a lot smoother than stock.

Do you think you'll ever remove Blur and all the other bloatware that is always running?
[Bravo General] bandroidx:
the bloatware is mostly removed. as far as the blur bloatware, yeah, i was going to look this weekend and see how hard that would be. i saw some interesting things when making the rom that made me think maybe i can do a deblurred rom. i know from past experience and reading that we will have to leave some blur for the camera, etc. but i will be looking into this next.

i agree about the smoothness and speed, the real world difference seems noticable to me as well.
[Bravo General] slowcurve:
i am considering flashing the rom on my bravo, but i see theres some trouble with swype beta, i have swype stock, would the stick version have any trouble with the rom?
[Bravo General] heydabop:
Nope, it's just the swype beta that doesn't handle the rom install well.
