Nice! Themed status bar is looking great! Just flashed it with no problem at all! The icons are exactly what I was hoping for! Honestly, clock doesn't bother me, I wish it wasn't there, already have it on the lockscreen and a widget, just saying, doesn't bother me. Just curious though, the signal icon randomly changes to the default, is that intentional or something strange on my end? I can't reproduce it on purpose either. Now that I've been typing about it hasn't been weird though.

Bandroidx, I haven't flashed the updated rom yet, but ill be doing that today at some point for sure. Just at the hospital right now.

Thanks guys, you're badass!
[Bravo General] heydabop:
Thanks! :D

Does it change back to the default when you have low signal? Cause I think I saw it do that on mine, I must have missed the icon, can't really change it now tho. In a few days I can.
[Bravo General] dynojunkee:
Yeah, seems its when there isn't any signal that the original shows. Sweet deal, no rush, much appreciated!
[Bravo General] heydabop:
I think I fixed it, here's the new zip. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/308440/UOT-05-03-20-04-2-mod-wt-2-1.zip
[Bravo General] jorgonv:
I got the clock to be white, but can't get the date to change. You need to change the deodexed services.jar.

here it is with white clock:

(unzip and put it in /system/framework/, you also have to be on bandroid's rom because it is deodexed)
[Bravo General] dynojunkee:
After flashing the rom, I verified the RC2 in About. But, I still seem to have Vlingo in my app drawer. It does seem much speedier and im loving it. Thanks for everything! This is great stuff.
[Bravo General] heydabop:
Thanks. I remember you mentioning services.jar earlier, but I wasn't real sure what to do with it. I just flashed your file to my phone, I'll check it as soon as it finishes booting. Once I learn how to script for cwm I'll add it to the zip for my theme.
[Bravo General] bandroidx:
nice work! I cant wait to see the themes you guys come up with!
[Bravo General] bandroidx:
Hmmm, is it possible that you installed vlingo from the market, or possible you updated vlingo from the market? I believe when you update a stock app it will install in /data/app and since I dont wipe data you would still have the updated version of the app. try uninstalling it, it might just uninstall since the bloat behind it should be gone.
[Bravo General] dynojunkee:
Actually, I do remember installing updates from the market for Vlingo. But when attempting to uninstall, its unsuccessful. I also updated about 5 other bloatware apps, although I don't remember which ones, but Vlingo seems to be the only one to stick around. Did you remove the ATT code scanner? That could be another one possibly...

Also, anyone have issues with the display timing out? I've changed settings in Android, and Lockmenu, which I also use and it still times out after about 15 seconds.

Edit: Dah, timeout issue isn't affecting me anymore. I might've jumped the gun. I went to verify my settings in Android and it was back at 15 seconds, so I guess I screwed that up or something. False alarm I suppose.
[Bravo General] kyngnothing:
Do I flash this with the recovery? or just unzip it and put it somewhere?

It freezes when I try to install it as a flash...:confused:
[Bravo General] jorgonv:
sorry, didn't clarify. you unzip it and put the services.jar in /system/framework/

you also have to be on bandroid's rom because it requires a deodexed framework
[Bravo General] bandroidx:
it looks like its a zip of the jar.

I can make a update.zip that includes both but in the meantime you could plug in usb, reboot into cwm recovery, then do adb shell, then rm the services.jar file, then push the services.jar file in the zip and put it in the framework folder. then chmod 644.

i wouldnt try to do this outside of cwm recovery adb though. (and it requires the deodexed framework, so you must be running bravoX rom)
[Bravo General] kyngnothing:
Got it - thanks!

I am trying the ROM out (looks great so far!)
[Bravo General] dynojunkee:
Actually, when I lock my screen it reverts back to 15 seconds. Im not sure why...

Any reason for the wireless tether app to keep crashing on me? Hm...
[Bravo General] bandroidx:
I am not sure about that, i will try to test it and change my lock time.

as far as wifi tether, i didnt test it much, if its broken let me know I can remove it from the next version of the rom, or you could remove it yourself or replace it with an upgraded version.
[Bravo General] heydabop:
Yea, included android-wifi-tether doesn't work for me either. It would be nice if you could somehow hijack the tether that comes with the phone, as I think it might make the phone an infrastructure network and not ad-hoc (tho that's a complete guess). Or at least modify the wired tether so it doesn't ask AT&T for permission, as I've yet to get android-wired-tether to work. I have no idea how possible any of that is tho.
[Bravo General] TimelesslyPrecise:
The 3g hotspot app uses a custom dns method, which in turn blocks your teetering if it isn't on your account. :/

I would suggest deleting the wifi tether apk from the next rom, and simply allowing the user to add it on their own, in this case.

I know the included 3g tether is garbage.

The wifi tether does work great, though it can't use security due to our locked kernel.. :/

Nevertheless, effective and functional. (granted, until the next release, you guys can delete it and then install it on your own) :)

Hippy, just curious, but has this happened with other files as well?

Were you using a card reader, or a usb-cable for the phone?

My droid won't even recognize music on my card...

I had an eight gig card that I thought was corrupt, but more and more now, I suspect this phone (mount/unmount issue?)...

I have been using a card reader lately instead of the included usb cable.. Which seems to be fine.

I will transfer these music files over via reader instead of usb cable( which in this case I just pushed over usb cable quickly), and see if the music.apk still can't see them..

Check out my theme for bravox. It is themed to look like the droid x 2.3.3. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1067690
[Bravo General] bandroidx:
make sure you dont have any .nomedia files in your sdcard root or directories. its a hidden file, i think adb shell and then

cd /sdcard

busybox find | busybox grep .nomedia

should work
[Bravo General] bandroidx:
You know I thought the reason the wifi-tether didnt work was because i had my radios turned off on my test phone. Someone gave it to me in this thread so I just assumed it was working.

I will remove it from the next version, you can all remove it the same way you remvoe bloat, just rename the file in root explorer or something like that.

u could also adb shell

mount -oremount,rw system /system

rm /system/app/wifi-tether.apk

mount -oremount,ro system /system

i will remove it from the next RC of bravox.

Am considering making a tool box apk for the rom that lets you pick your theme but I am not sure yet.
[Bravo General] bandroidx:
good news to those of you that have bought my Non-Market Apps Enabler app or are thinking about it..... It now should work for ALL ATT phones, not just motorola phones. If anyone has any att phones they test my app on please let me know I am trying to add as many devices as possible to the 100% confirmed working list for the app.

the market still shows the old desc but it should download v0.2.5 which supports all devices https://market.android.com/details?id=com.bandroidx.nmaenabler&feature=more_from_developer
[Bravo General] TimelesslyPrecise:
That would have been me : P

I apologize, hindsight tells me I uploaded that straight from my sd card that apparently went bad.. :/ though I know I am running on that same install :)

***

Edit:

I just checked the Hash on the file i uploaded, seems to verify against the one on code.google.com

hmmm, must be something Device specific going on, that needs to be cleared or reset as a fresh install would do.

***

The market unlock was done for me, with the root process.. though, it only unlocked the ability, not the actual option in settings..

will this be an option with the unlock app?

kudos btw, the rom is excellent sir!! Thank you very much!!

Edit:

"Am considering making a tool box apk for the rom that lets you pick your theme but I am not sure yet."

bandroidx,

That would be above excellent!! I've kind of been holding off on the themes idea, as i am slightly intimidated of its foreign nature. I am always interested in an easier way to keep pace with the theme work everyone has been working on here.

Thanks for such an awesome community Everybody!

[Bravo General] bandroidx:
yeah the unlock app will give you the check box. I make it so the changes are made in the rom and then re-generated to allow non-market installs but for some reason the only way to get the checkbox is with my app or by manually editing the db after its updated on the phone. i felt the app was much easier than manually doing it every time and buying even more expensive apps to do it.

as far as the tool box, i am going to look into it, i envision a "theme chooser" ala cm7. i am thinking maybe i can package up the theme changes into the apk, then make the changes in the apk and then reboot to take effect. this may work, i have to play around with it, I think it would be pretty cool, easy way to try different themes out.
[Bravo General] TimelesslyPrecise:
what exactly are these .nomedia files?

it was strange, after putting the music on there, i simply did a reboot and they showed up.

Using root explorer, i didn't see any there..

But i did run the above command just in case.
[Bravo General] bandroidx:
.nomedia is a blank file, you put a blank file called .nomedia in any directories you dont want searched on your sdcard for media (pictures,music,videos)

I sometimes use the file for games that put tons of .jpg's and movies on the sdcard and fill up my gallery. you can also use it for the stuff you dont want showing up in the gallery ;)
[Bravo General] zachthepack:
Help

Not sure exactly what I'm doing wrong, but I've downloaded the rom multiple times. It'll either fail to install or just hang at "opening update package"

EDIT :Well i decided to try one more time! i downloaded for the 4th time and it worked!
[Bravo General] dynojunkee:
Any follow up on the lock screen issue? It's still reverting back to 15 seconds, I've made sure to double check all my apps to make sure they aren't interfering with it. Hm...
[Bravo General] bandroidx:
so you set it to 30 or 1 min and it stays set to that and then goes back to 15 seconds anyways? or u set it to 30 and it changes back to 15?

can someone confirm the same issue? maybe its a bug in the froyo build for the bravo??? i will test it on my phone
[Bravo General] sdrawkcab3:
I'm on stock (ota) froyo, and I have no problems with a 2 minute timer.
[Bravo General] bandroidx:
On RC2, w/ heydabop's dark status bar theme, I set to 1 min and it works no problem.

But are you talking about the time out on the lock screen itself of the display? That defaults to 15 seconds on the default, if you dont unlock in 15 seconds the display goes off. but if you unlock, it will wait 1 minute before the screen turns off for me no problem.
[Bravo General] dynojunkee:
Thanks for looking into the display issue. I think I've resolved the problem. It seems as though launcherpro was causing the issue. After uninstalling and reinstalling that application it quit reverting back to 15 seconds. Ill be contacting them to see if there is an issue. Thank you and sorry, once again, for a false alarm.
[Bravo General] TimelesslyPrecise:
Have you tried ADW before?

Sent from my MB520
[Bravo General] dynojunkee:
I think I have tried it out but I think it was way back kn the G1. I haven't tried it on the Bravo though. Is there a lite version to try out?

Im very fond of launcherpro and I think it might've been a glitch, after uninstalling I reinstalled it via titanium backup from just a few days ago and the issue no longer exists.
[Bravo General] bandroidx:
I use ADW in cm7 on my nook color and LPP on my phone. I found LPP to be a little faster than ADW in my real world use. both are great though.
[Bravo General] dynojunkee:
Yeah, I just spent the passed hour trying to find out the similarities and differences between LPP and ADW and I really don't see the point in changing. Especially since it only seem to have been a glitch or something because I'm having no issues with the display timing out or reverting back to 15 seconds. Woot!
[Bravo General] GeNiO426:
Yeah, I tried LauncherPro and it worked the best for me. I also tried just about every other launcher available in the market as well.
[Bravo General] bullet358:
Quick question guys....i keep attempting to change my boot animation to the "android particle" through UOT KITCHEN but it fails to change after flashing ROM. I've tried twice. I even thought about cracking open the zip and extracting the file into the bootanimation.zip location. Any thoughts?
[Bravo General] jorgonv:
Yeah replacing the bootanimation.zip should work fine. It's located in /system/media/

make a nandroid before replacing just in case
[Bravo General] TimelesslyPrecise:
I concur with this method. I use a prog called absolute system to manage boot animations, which has a nice frontend for swapping animations.

I've got a few questions in regards to removing the bloat ware, and pulling off Blur..

It seems they have done a fine job of intertwining this garbage throughout the os..

For instance, and as my main concern,

There is Drm protection over the media files, ringtones and notifications, etc.

The Atrix media files i posted earlier in the thread, do not play on our devices..

Nor, do the media files that were originally on my device play anymore.

I have been pulling off software by the handful, and piecing the software back one by one trying to find the fix in order to get the files to play again..

(As far as I’m concerned, I don’t need the original files on… I don’t mind grabbing the files from a CM rom or something..)

So far, I have removed:

352,004 AABSync.apk

210,729 AtCmd.apk

4,730 AttDefaultSwitcher.apk

14,587 BatteryReport.apk

13,041,907 BlurHome.apk

64,014 BlurSNMessagingEngine.apk

42,742 BlurUpdater.apk

76,678 SocialShare.apk

160,008 StatusWidget.apk

44,838 WorkContacts.apk

634,994 WorldClockWidget.apk

51,983 YahooContacts.apk

I went from a 760 something on Quadrant, to 1200 just after pulling this stuff off, and rebooting..

There are Great Benefits to having a stock, clean rom.

Does anyone have any intel\insight on how the DRM is working for this device?

In regards to the media files, I’m almost contemplating a clandestine method of converting them over, if it is worth it.

Again, I have no problem with utilizing CM7 media files, assuming they don’t have any issues with this.
[Bravo General] bandroidx:
anyone try to get netflix on the bravo yet?

if it works I may throw together a quick free app that lets you switch between "emulation" mode and regular.

the hack requires you to change your build.prop hardware id, i was thinking maybe make an app that lets you enable the changes and then switch back after done using the netflix app. i would think leaving the settings hacked may cause other problems.

worth it?
[Bravo General] GeNiO426:
Does it only work on the stock firmware and whatnot? I just downloaded and installed it, but when I try to sign in it just closes and nothing else happens. When I try it again and again, it does the same thing.

On another note, from a lot of Android users, I've only heard bad things about the Netflix app.

EDIT: So, I just went to the app page in the app market on my laptop and I just found out that the Netflix app isn't even compatible with the Bravo.
[Bravo General] slowcurve:
then i guess its not even worth it
[Bravo General] bandroidx:
Damn, thanks. I didnt read your response and tried the hack myself and it doesnt work. I tried it on my rom and on a stock phone and no go. I assume you made the build.prop changes before trying right? I did and it also just closes.

I believe the issue is not our hardware but gingerbread is required. I was going to see if i could decompile the apk, change the sdk version requirement and recompile it but i dont even know if thati s possible. It could be things in gingerbread are needed for the app to work.

The app is fantastic though, the people who complained probably just cant get it to work. it works amazing on my droid x and even better on my nook color running cm7. Its a great app, especially since there is no extra fee to stream the entire collection if you pay the $9 a month for the regular streaming service.
[Bravo General] sdrawkcab3:
It's not Gingerbread req, people are getting it running on Nookie Froyo :)

I'll post if I get it going.

I am surprised you can actually login, although I realized i loaded my hacked droid x copy on the bravo by accident instead of using the market version w/ t he build.prop changes that worked for my nook color.
[Bravo General] bandroidx:
the hack i am refering to lets you get around the required device list ;)
[Bravo General] sdrawkcab3:
I get audio for almost a second, but no video as a "best" result from netflix-devicecheck-disabled.apk

The other various versions posted get logged in, but crashes as soon as it tries to load a stream.

With the market version and build.prop edits, I was able to load the app, but trying a stream would throw up the non-supported device message.
[Bravo General] bandroidx:
what build.prop changes did you make?
[Bravo General] bandroidx:
sorry i dont have anything that will help you yet. i am hoping to be able to make a system only sbf for boot looping devices but that wont be till after the bootstrap and custom recovery are working.

CWM port to Moto Bravo

My bravo is rooted. When you say it'll be bricked, I'm confused. I know what bricked is, but you say if it is bricked it'll restart after a reboot? either way, I'm rooted and ready to go.
[Bravo General] bandroidx:
bricked meaning it would need an SBF flash to be repaired which as of right now only at&t or motorola can do.

But we are currently working on it and are working out all the bugs and i am testing it on my phone and we are very close to a alpha test group. Basically 1 or 2 people. The chances of it causing a problem are slim, its been designed to not mess with anything important and get out of the way in case of a problem.
[Bravo General] apples2droids:
CWM port to Moto Bravo

can't wait for the alpha! i will definitely help with testing if it's needed.:D
[Bravo General] MCFarmfresh:
Didn't know if you had enough people to test with or not so I wanted to let you know I will gladly put my deceive up for testing. Just let me know if you still need testers. :)
[Bravo General] bandroidx:
great, anyone available late wednesday night around like 1-2AM EST? Maybe someone on the west coast?

In order to test make sure

1) your bravo is rooted

2) you can install non market apps! (there is a good howto in the bravo general forum, mainly superoneclick will root but it wont fix the market. The bootstrap requires installing a non market APK, most of you rooted probably already did this. You can probably just use ADB to install the apk if you cant install non market apps but i am not sure 100% yet, it should work.

3) working adb windows or linux is fine.

4) might want to atelast download teamviewer.com's software to have it ready incase i need to connect to your desktop to manipulate the phone directly, its a shared session software, you monitor what is going on of course.

5) a way to replace the phone if something goes wrong, even though it may be less than 1% using this method for the first testers, something could go wrong, you need to be prepared for this and atleast have a game plan, warranty or insurance exchange, another phone, etc. SBF would fix any problems, i dont have one yet but am trying hard to get one.
[Bravo General] MCFarmfresh:
Ok, I have all of the above except teamviewer which I will dl and install when I get off work tonight at 8. I have backup phones which I can use if the worst should happen but am confident we can get it working again if something should go wrong. Also I will be up then since I am something of a night owl. I am CST so it shouldn't be a problem. Let me know anything else you might need on my part. :)
[Bravo General] heydabop:
If you mean this Wednesday, today, then yes. EDIT: Guess not. :P

And yes to the rest.
[Bravo General] bandroidx:
sorry ended up taking too long to get a bug worked out.

good news is, looks like we are ready to test.

one important thing i forgot to add, you must backup your data with titanium backup because if something goes wrong we will need to wipe data in stock recovery in order to restore things back to normal. (although this is unlikely to be needed)

but just incase, you need a backup because apps store their data in /data
[Bravo General] bandroidx:
