[fix] Notification Pull Down Bug w/ Launchers

UD Launcher will be optional for now.

I have posted a link in the op for those who would like to continue to use UD Launcher.
[Nexus S Android Development] RickROM:
Trying to download, but I only see 17 and 18 currently.
[Nexus S Android Development] :
Thanks.

i'll continue with UD Launcher, also i looked the change log it seems nothing added for NS in N#39 So i'm good with 1.0.18.I have no issue about "Pull down bug".
[Nexus S Android Development] slaman:
Stupid question, but must we wipe when we update versions?

EDIT: Nevermind, I can read the OP ;)

My prob with the UD launcher is that you cannot change the phone icon. Don't want green icons LOL.

I did at first but after the first two reboots I set it back to factory. Same issues continued.

[Nexus S Android Development] saywhat4118:
So what is this new UD Launcher? I see the download post in the front page and I flashed it but nothing changes. I only have the stock launcher installed.
[Nexus S Android Development] icase81:
Stock launcher is hardware accelerated using the GPU. As far as I'm aware, none of the 3rd party launchers can do this, so the GPU is sitting idle and using less juice.

UD Launcher was great. Why you changed it :/

[Nexus S Android Development] frank707:
UD Launcher in appearance is identical to stock launcher, so after flashing it you won't really notice a difference. But go to your home screen, and then press menu on your nexus s, you should see a configure option that will give you the customizable features of UD launcher.
[Nexus S Android Development] :
@frank707

Seems like usefull for any others but, i use brightness at %0 with the brightness widget.

Because we can't set it %0 with normal settins section cause i saw %8 when i open the widget than i set it %0 manually by this widget.So is it possible to make it right or fix with the setting without using any widget?

Thanks.

With the UD Launcher everything is fine... Can I change the number of Homescreens?
[Nexus S Android Development] :
for now you cant change.
[Nexus S Android Development] buachaille:
I've been using ns_collab for a while now and I am a big fan. I've tried nearly all the nexus s roms and in my opinion this is the best.

Some things I think are useful to know (this will only be of interest to noobs :D ).

Don't use the launcher that comes with the rom if the launcher is liable to be changed with future releases, as you'll have to reconfigure the new launcher after flashing the updated rom. I am using go launcher without any themes. It is nice and stable, looks good, and it gets updated (unlike some launchers). This means that when I restore my titanium backup my screens are exactly as they were - including my wallpaper.

Don't bother with the stock browser or dolphin hd (just a modded version of stock browser). They choke (and often force close) on pages with loads of content, javascript, and flash. Opera Mobile (not mini) is a good choice. I've switched to it. It loads pages that crash stock and dolphin browser, and it runs these pages fine.

[Nexus S Android Development] gamin92:
I'm not hijacking anything or anyone, just sharing a rom I liked and recooked. I'm not asking anything, just sharing for lazy people...

Frank's thread for Frank's rom.

You need a new thread for your rom.

Frank's rom is recooked from cm7 and he created a new thread for it.
[Nexus S Android Development] MU-Biomed:
I really like this ROM but it is a bummer that I can't get rid of the extra home pages. Is this something intrinsic to the ROM or is it something that can be fixed down the line?

I am using the newest build with stock launcher btw
[Nexus S Android Development] :
Pls use UD launcher it has 7 home page.
[Nexus S Android Development] frank707:
Stock launcher does not have an option to configure the number of home screens, and neither does the UD Launcher. But w/ Stock Launcher you will have a much smoother experience imo.

Working on the next update, which w/ include updated CM / Rom Manger / Tweaks to the stock launcher for smoother scrolling and app drawer animations.
[Nexus S Android Development] kevin_ngckk:
It sounds great. But i like to use ud launcher because it seens use less battery level. It would be great on using stock launcher with a lower battery level and smoother:)
[Nexus S Android Development] slaman:
Great ROM... however, I woke up this morning and got a Force Close for Android.phone... I kept pressing close, but it would pop up again immediately. I couldn't even reboot the phone because I couldn't press the pop-up...

Didn't use any toggle button... and don't have a need to toggle between the two anyways.

The only toggles I have in the notification bar is gps, bluetooth, wifi, and sound
[Nexus S Android Development] MU-Biomed:
My battery life on stock launcher has been good and I agree with Frank 100% on how smoooooth it is. You guys must be looking for some serious battery life because I havent noticed too much of a difference between stock and UD :p
[Nexus S Android Development] :
Ok, if you could not open phone open it with recovery.Than plug it with usb cable to computer. go mount and storage than mount sd card or mount usb storage and copy the rom file to sd.than i guess you know how to re install it.
[Nexus S Android Development] frank707:
The launcher shouldn't affect battery life. UD is based off stock launcher w/ customizable settings. It was included with cm7 final build which should have improved stability and battery. UD launcher is good option but IMO stock launcher's reliability and performance are far more important than customization included w/ 3rd party launchers.

Sent from my Nexus S
[Nexus S Android Development] slaman:
I could access recovery, but just required a battery pull... my issue was that the Force Close was popping up so quickly that I couldn't touch the "reboot" selection when I long-pressed the power button.

Was annoying, and the only time it's happened so far... but wanted to know what caused it since I've only been running this ROM for 48 hours.
[Nexus S Android Development] :
just reinstall the rom.it has to be solve.first wipe everything dailvik cache too.than install and make fix permission.
[Nexus S Android Development] frank707:
It's not a common issue at all, may be related to various factors. Data corruption, corrupted backups, possibly an applications that could of caused the fc's errors. If you ever do come across any type of issue similar to this you can always lock your phone screen with the power button, and without unlocking the phone if you press and hold the power button you should be prompted with the reboot options on the lock screen.

If you ever do decide to backup apps / data make sure its only apps on the data partition not system. Restoring system app / data that is incompatible may result in unfavorable results.

Thanks - I found out that Google seemed to be auto-restoring a couple of apps that this ROM has already as system apps (Rescan Media, ROM Manager, Terminal Emulator, among others)...

I will disable this feature and rely only on my own MyBackups from now on.

I'll wipe completely and disable this feature on the next update and see if that fixes things.

[Nexus S Android Development] lfmmoura:
Frank,

Great work, as usual! :)

Would you consider not including TouchWiz calculator in the ROM? Aren't Samsung apps proprietary and illegal to distribute? I said the same thing in a thread about porting TouchWiz or Sense to the Nexus S and people dismissed such a claim. However, after doing some research I saw that even HTC sent a cease and desist letter to some developers including Sense apps in their distributions.

Would you at least make it optional?

By the way, have you tried Stormindorman's calculator? It's an iPhone calculator clone, and a very nice one, even in the free version. Perhaps you could consider it as an alternative to using Samsung's calculator.

Regards!
[Nexus S Android Development] buachaille:
You are not serious are you? Can't be..........

I mean, are samsung maybe going to go bust if some extra people use their calculator?
[Nexus S Android Development] derekv6:
frank,

I just upgraded from NSCollab .18 to .20 and with default cpu settings (and 1.2 OC and performance governor), my scores have dropped tremendously from .18 release. I was averaging 2200 on Quadrant Standard and now its ~1600-1700. If I OC with 1.2 and performance governor, I get ~2100..

Any ideas? can anyone else confirm their benchmarks on default vs OC with perf governor?

Thanks for the excellent work!!

[Nexus S Android Development] frank707:
Sorry guys seems the ext4 tweak was misplaced somehow, which is affecting your benchmarks. Real time performance should not be affected by this, but it does improve data I/O times. Here's a small patch for those who would like the script.

I upgraded to 1.0.20 last night and when I woke up the phone was on the boot screen (pulsating X) and the colors were all jacked up but still animated. I have no idea how long it had been stuck like that but I panicked when I saw the colors. I did a battery pull and everything booted fine. No issues with random reboots today so idk what was up this morning. Big sigh of relief for no screen dmg though lol
[Nexus S Android Development] robstunner:
Do you have any modifications like OC enabled?
[Nexus S Android Development] frank707:
Was it a green / red hue? Almost like the screen went bad?

All you would have had to done is unlock the phone. i believe its a known issue, but very rare, what happens is at times the color profiles from voodoo may not be applied / read correctly, and waking the phone up w/ the power button will restore those colors, fix it permanently.
[Nexus S Android Development] lfmmoura:
Whether Samsung will choose to enforce the copyright or not is hard to tell. They might. Companies have done it for much less. Some time ago, HTC threated to sue a guy who was doing a clone of a Sense clock widget. It caused him to remodel his widget.

Either way, some of us aren't comfortable using copyrighted stuff. Especially considering that it's something completely unnecessary. That's why I was asking if Frank could at least make this optional, or perhaps replace this with a perfectly legal (and very cool) free iPhone-like calculator.

Regards!
[Nexus S Android Development] MU-Biomed:
No...

The screen was on full (I had no idea for how long) and looked strange so I didn't stop to ask questions. I came out of a dead sleep to full awake trying to fix it :eek: Never has a battery cover came off so fast.

hrm not a request - just a question: Why? I didn't see any problems with it and in here there wasn't really much more of a fuzz about it than there would've been with anything else, was there?

It DID reduce my standby battery drainage by half. Well almost by two thirds.

It isn't available under another name as stand-alone add-on launcher by any chance? Googling "UD launcher" doesn't really spit out all that much.

Anyway - thanks for the awesome rom - never going back to anything else as far as I can see :)

I would imagine frank707 was 'advised' by the Mods to cease promoting the works of a banned developer. I came to this little corner too late to know why the UDrom dev was banned... but banned he be!

And since the Admins of this site do not allow for the concept of offender rehabilitation, he is forever damned; destined always to be an outcast. A google for udrom may give you leads.

If you believe the maxim: power corrupts; absolute power corrupts absolutely; then you'll understand what happens in all forums eventually.

Choice was based off the mixed feedback in the forums, and also some minor bugs that still need to be worked out in the launcher. I myself am a fan of the launcher, so I will defiantly consider the option in the future. I did bring over some of the optimizations from that launcher into the stock launcher, which makes the most recent build so much smoother.

Will be testing out a new build today. Have not come across any reboots myself, there are some reported bugs for nightly 40. So will push out this release for you guys soon.

Frank, .20 working well on both phones I am using.. I think the only feature thats soo important in ud launcher is 4item dock which is why I just flashed it over the one you've included in .20. If you could incorporate that feature in stock gb as a mod that'd be the same no worries. Also what about the possibility of using an undervolted kernel to get a true full day of heavy use ? Are there any stable?

Since the latest .20 update my launcher has to re-load pretty much every time I hit the home button. It's really annoying, I'll check my e-mail and then hit home and I have to wait 15 secs or so for the launcher to load. Any way to make it persistent?
