[Nook Color General] SCWells72:
As always, if this is already answered elsewhere then please just send a pointer, but I couldn't find anything useful after a decent amount of searching.

After playing with NookieFroyo and NookieHoneycomb, I decided to go back to the rooted stock ROM as my daily driver. I like the status bar on the bottom with soft keys embedded, and I like having access to the B&N reader without having to dual-boot. My main issue with stock was the lack of corporate calendar, but I even managed to get that working (although the Agenda view crashes it).

The one thing odd I've noticed with the rooted stock ROM is that sometimes the color scheme seems to cause fonts not to show up in some applications, primarily in their dialogs. For example, if I go into Miren and select Settings>About Miren Browser, the text in the resulting dialog is invisible except for the URL which is underlined-blue. Similar if I go into Miren's user agent selection dialog. I see the radio buttons but not their labels.

Does anyone know why this is happening and, more to the point, how to fix it?

Thanks in advance for any assistance!

I've seen this too, mostly with text next to "checkmark" settings
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] daedric:
Hello guys! I need your help and advise.

I need to use my kaiser to work. That's uhh.. receiving calls, making calls, sms, WiFi @ night to sync new contacts to my Google account... you know, small tasks.

I'm using as of yet CM7 with 2.3.32 (#63 IIRC) Data on SD Partition. Now.. although stable (no reboots, no crashes... seems OK) Its painfully slow.

If someone calls me, i have to wait about 7 ringtones before i know who's calling me. So.. i need your advise! Should i use a Donut ? perhaps a 2.6.25 ?

Please be honest, state your opinion and its basis :D

UPDATE 20110304:

I'm using as of yet:

VaniljEclair RLS11 - A fast & stable CM 5.0.8 for Vogue/Kaiser/Polaris [2010-08-19]

Battery rocks (i'm using a 2.8Ah).

Calls work pefectly.

SMS's work perfectly

Some apps apear to have a .... strange issue. They simply... don't open. But thats temporary. And a reboot fixes.

WiFi works (using latest from liquid with module update).

Quite happy :D

UPDATE 20110306:

Still no issues. One thing is granted, when i turn the WiFi on and let it sync... bogs down considerably. OC via atools to 490.

Will try the other option now, incubus26c's versions.

UPDATE 20110309:

Using incubus26c's with kernel .25 downloaded and edited through atools.

Been sufering from random phone problems. Simply shutdown. Cannot enable AirPlane mode. Have to reboot.

BTW, anyone has any other sugestions about roms ??

UPDATE 20110310:

Noted that my hardware keyb is sometimes eating letters... notably.. space.

Will check settings to see if disabling something helps.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] StripezZ:
Try using builds like those by incubus26c's or VaniljEclair. I've had both and enjoyed them greatly, going back to WM for the only reasons of better camera (autofocus never worked on droid for Kaiser) and ad-hoc WiFi support.

And... a few tips.

1. Use phone prioritizer (probably in VanilJEclair). This cuts delay between calling and receiving a call by two times.

2. Odexed firmware is faster, than deodexed. Yeah, no themes anymore, but you want a working device, not a box for bells and whistles, aintcha?

3. 2.6.25 is still up to date. Sometimes you'll need a patch to make wifi work, but that is a reasonable price for better speed.

What about donut? No, it is not faster then any 2.x droids.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] daedric:
Clear enough.

Will report back with more info :)

Thank you
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] daedric:
1st Post updated.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] daedric:
And again.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] StripezZ:
Still no issues. One thing is granted, when i turn the WiFi on and let it sync... bogs down considerably. OC via atools to 490.

1. get RogueTools from Market to overclock the device without atools

2. a question from my side: are Gingerbones worth it?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] daedric:
I actually used and tweaked a Gingerbones. Was quite good, not as fast of course, but then again, more eye candy.

I'm not getting any instability, just plain ... slow during sync. But this as been a standard with any version i've tested.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] StripezZ:
wifi sync lagging seems to be quite common for all low-end droids, both native and cooked. As long as it happens mostly with encrypted networks, i would suppose the reason is some sort of cryptographic calculations MSM72xx delegates to CPU.

Though, since all unsecured networks I encountered were very slow (256k or so), there's a chance the lag nests in higher bandwidth, causing data to be downloaded a bit too fast to be processed - sometimes HSDPA connection makes the gadget lag, too.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] dark_prince:
There is strange polling behavior with hardware keyboard on 2.6.25

Though I love stability in 2.6.25 kernel, the Eating of Space button is quiet frustrating when I am texting my boss :| (which I often do) and I press Enter to send right away (just as I am chatting).
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] daedric:
So... if the massive slow(ness?? is this a word??) is coming for a bogged CPU on SSL encode/decode, we could... say... use OsMonitor to check?

Which process should be giving lots of CPU usage ?? Android System ?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] daedric:
So... perhaps moving to 2.6.32 should provide me with it a better keyboard polling, at a stability price ??

P.S.

Anyone else would like to suggest another rom ?? BTW... i'm going to try and strip a gingerbones (by Aceyome if i remember his nick right) to gain extra stability.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] dark_prince:
I think yes. Though I have used .32 kernel for so less time than .25 so as I need the Mass storage functionality, which works perfect with dual mount on .25 kernel. Try Fat Free Froyo by thoughtlesskyle, if you really want a vanilla build
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] daedric:
Hey dark_prince, OFF TOPIC question:

How is the Froyo 2.2 x86 ?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] dark_prince:
Still not to be used as Primary OS. Alot of things don't work and force close on my D420. Though x86 build works pitch perfect with an EEEPC. It's blazing fast and stripped down to just 80MB and has Hardware OpenGL ES support for intel 915,945,965 chipsets. 1280x800 isnt supported fully as of yet (You can run HDPI one). Market doesnt work, but a proprietary App downloader is provided. Also, keyboard works perfect and mouse emulation is nice. Ethernet + Wifi support depends if kernel supports.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] daedric:
Why doesn't the market work??

(market! y u no work?)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] dark_prince:
It crashes randomly with the build, thats why it was removed. But there is another handy app installer which comes with every x86 build :)
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] madfarmer:
If you are looking for a great sms app, try gosms ! The best best sms app i have tried yet.. Simple functional and not bloated, what more can you ask for..
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] CB620:
ok................
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] AllGamer:
i've been using it for 4 months already, it keeps getting better and better

you should try the Go Launcher EX

makes an awesome combo
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] leyvatron:
It is nice... quick reply is much better than sms popup and the dark theme is really cool.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] AtomicPC:
I'm going to try it.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] irishrally:
My sentiments exactly after just reading your Windows 7 thread.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] Xandlinger:
I enjoyed the Dark Theme with that app. I stopped using it because of the icon :3
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] ruben8448:
Haha same reason i don't use it. Its great but i want the traditional icon. Well, you can't always get what you want :)
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] Kahuna900:
Tried it but it didn't connect some of my contacts with their phone numbers if the were only found via facebook. Couldn't figure out how to fix that so I went back to handcent.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] leyvatron:
U can easily edit ur icon....

I don't like that it says...

I said this ... and he said that in my text. And the bubble are okay.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] Paparasee:
Well, have been using it for about 2 weeks now.

Got an SMS yesterday and wanted to reply and also add one more contact to send the message to ... try as I might, could not find a way to do it.

Ended up copying the message and then creating a new message and adding both the contacts before pasting the copied stuff.

Anyone knows how to add a contact to a reply?
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] beancookie:
handcent is better imo
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] maldiluna:
I use it too and I love it :)
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] MacGuy2006:
Go SMS is stable and better than the stock client.

Most of the themes are tacky (the iPhone one is OK).

I wish it had the ability to forward texts as email.

You can change the icon with most launchers to whatever you want.

I use it with the MIUI iPhone Launcher, which is basically ADW, but with better icons.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] CaliLove310:
I agree, I haven't found any other SMS app with the same level of customization as Handcent.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] seanerixon:
Wow I really like Go SMS so far. Compared to Handcent thought, it's fairly close in my opinion. I like the popup more on Go SMS. And it seems quicker than Handcent which I find to lag sometimes.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] AllGamer:
all the above, and the widget for Go SMS works better than handsent's widget
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] willentrekin:
+1

(along with Launcher Pro)
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] SubyWill:
I switched from Handcent to this, let's see how it goes.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] jerrycycle:
The stand alone feature has worked to the point I have deleted the stock mms client. Miss the gestures gesture in the cm7 mms but oh well.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] lynkx:
I agree. I'm also using both apps. I just wish they would release an English version of their Chinese Browser. Looks very cool.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] MacGuy2006:
The big problem with Go SMS is that it does not do on-icon notifications when in the dock, or if you change the icon.

Big fail for this, since all the other SMS apps show on-icon notifications just fine.

But Go SMS has a prettier iPhone theme than Handcent (all the other themes are somewhat tacky).
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] AllGamer:
you know... the icon notification can be turned on in Settings

Enable notifications

default notification settings

notification icon

and you even get to choose what to use for the icon
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] zephiK:
I don't get why you post useless replies in certain threads just to raise your post count. If you don't have anything to say then don't post.

And yeah, I've been using GO SMS for a while. I got sick of the bloat that was added in Handcent and chompSMS. Filling it with ads and all that frustrated me (inb4 AdFree).
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] mrgermy:
You can use the stock icon in the notification bar, if that's what you are referring to. If you go into Go SMS and then settings and notifications they have quite a few different notification icons to chose from.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] djmr420:
is there a way to stop the stock sms from recieving or just a way to remove it. or do they both get notifications no matter what. thanks
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] zephiK:
open stock messaging -> settings -> uncheck notifications
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] AllGamer:
yup

that is the very first thing GO SMS teaches you to do when you install it for the first time

it comes up as a Tip
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] djmr420:
i did do that but the stock sms is still getting text. anything else . thanks
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] AllGamer:
did you set Go SMS as your default SMS application?

if you selected SMS, then that might explain why

there is another easy alternative

if you have TB, use it to Freeze the stock SMS
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] djmr420:
i dont have TB yet becuase im not yet rooted. Where do i find that setting to set as default
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] djmr420:
i did find the settings but its all set correctly. Is it just normal to have the stock and go sms getting sms together at all times? will it use more battery if both are going at the same time? thanks
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] AllGamer:
is normal, but you should be able to turn off the stock SMS

it doesn't user more battery, it just causes annoyance to have 2 alerts
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] djmr420:
I did turn off the notification for the stock sms. I was just curious on how to stop the stock sms from receiving. oh well
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] drew_grant:
Anybody have any themes for GoSms? All the ones in the market aren't my style.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] AllGamer:
they have a SDK / theme templates some where in their forum i read

you can create your own themes, you can even package it up and list it on android market for cheap ;)
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] drew_grant:
Awesome. You wouldn't happen to know the URL would you?
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] zephiK:
their site is http://www.goforandroid.com/ but i couldnt find a forum
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] AllGamer:
there are new FREE and nice looking themes

i like the new steel one and the glass transparency one, it really brings out the best of the SAMOLED screen :D
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] DKYang:
Where do you see those? I searched on the market and via in the go sms settings but couldn't find them.:(
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] SubyWill:
Where can I find these??
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] AllGamer:

Ohh, that's for the launcher. I though you were talking about gosms
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] jerrycycle:
Can you link these like you did the other themes?
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] DKYang:
Same here. Thought he was talking about Go SMS since that's the name of the topic.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] AllGamer:
my bad, yes those are for the Go Launcher. I'm using both Go SMS + Go Launcher EX, no they have not yet released the same skins for the SMS part yet.

for the the Go SMS i use the Dark Theme skin

Try connecting it to the charger and turn it on. If its dead, then yyour phone is bricked. Take it to the lg service center.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] 3c:
Dear users,

Considering all 3C apps are now based on the same source code, they all behave the same way, and will exhibit the same issues. Any queries will also likely applies to all apps.

To make my life easier while continuing to provide support here (and start with a clean slate), I decided to close all my app threads and open a fresh new thread here.

With your continuous help and support, the past 4 years have been a great adventure and experience. Let's take a fresh start and continue this amazing adventure.

Thank you all!
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] torete43:
Hi,

I bought this app and gave it a try since it is the only one I found with REAL background data management capabilities. So, this is a great beginning, although the app is not completely useful to me. I was looking for an automatic background data toggle following WiFi status, I mean, turn on bg data when WiFi is on and turn it off at WiFi shutdown. I know this is just a manual toggle, but I was wondering if I can use the toggle along with any profiler (like Tasker, Setting Profiles, etc). This way, I could set up a rule that triggers on WiFi On/Off and changes bg data status using your widget. Unfortunately, this cannot be done as there is no 'activity' to be associated to under Multi Toggle activities node. So, my suggestion is that you expose any public activity to toggle bg data, so it can be used when setting up rules from any profiler. Of course you can also develop an app to auto turn on/off bg data on wifi on/off... :D ... a lot of people is waiting for that since bg data has sense when wifi is on in most of the cases. Otherwise, it will drain battery.

Another suggestion, please make an easy way to uninstall when installed as system app (restore to user app or something... just to avoid a manual removal from /system/app).

Thanks!
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] 3c:
Thanks for your comment and support.

I will try to add an 'uninstall' procedure... Indeed it will make it much easier for me too :)

For the public activity, I will see to it too, though I'm not sure it's really recommended, the power-widget has been doing that until 2.3.3 and it was reported as a security hole... Would be nice though.

Just wondering something about activities, in Tasker (or similar app) can you manually specify the package, the class and the parameters? If so, even if it's not public, you might be able to do it!

Don't have the info at hand, but will update this post asap.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] _alphaBeta_:
I haven't downloaded this app yet, but I found it because it claims to control the background data toggle via a widget. Just to confirm that we're talking about "background data" and not just "auto-sync," correct? On my DROID 2 this option is: settings -> data manager -> data delivery -> Background data.

Any updates on reverting from the system application install? I need to be able to return this phone to pre-root status.

I've found that "auto-sync" only applies to google accounts: gmail, gmail contacts and google calendar on the DROID 2. My primary email is an IMAP account and I'd prefer not to receive these notifications (and ones from other aps) during the evening hours.

My phone also likes to stop syncing randomly, and toggling background data corrects the problem. Going through the maze of settings is just too annoying to be toggling this option on a regular basis.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] ftgg99:
Also, this thread belongs in the Paid Software Announcement and Discussion forums. By posting here you are gaining an unfair advantage!

;)
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] 3c:
Hello and thanks for your interest in this app.

Yes it indeed controls background data, you should see the corresponding setting being actually changed!

And yes it needs to be installed as system app for a number of toggles to work, which is only possible on rooted phones, which luckily is your case! System apps have more rights than user-apps and a number of settings cannot be changed by user apps at all no matter what! Even using su/root feature can't help!

Note that the app will do it for you from the settings. There is no automatic way to move the app back to a user app, yet.

What you can do is try the app for a few minutes to see if it works well for you. Should you have any issues don't hesitate to contact me. You have 15 minutes to try it or get an immediate refund from Google, but I can still cancel the order at any time which will get you a full refund.

PS: I noticed 2 behaviors when installing as system app, either the settings window disappears, then no reboot is necessary, the app is installed in system folder and ready for use. Or the app says it succeeded (or failed) and the settings windows remains open. In this case I noticed it's always installed as system app, but it requires rebooting the phone. Still working on that.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] 3c:
I didn't know about this forum I'm very sorry for this mistake! Any ways to move the thread there?

At the time of creation, I tried contacting a moderator, but not sure it's my browser/computer (tried with Chrome and IE) but could reach the page to find who's moderator.

Anyway, no excuses, will try to contact a moderator asap.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] _alphaBeta_:
I tried to quickly change my original post thinking that you wouldn't respond so quickly. I spotted the screenshots that clearly show the option to install as a system app, which answered my question.

Any idea when you will implement this? As my edited message above now says, I need the ability to return this phone to pre-root status. How difficult is manually uninstalling a system app like yours? Pardon my ignorance, but I'm only rooted for a specific un-related reason, so I haven't played around in the rooted world much.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] 3c:
You know what? Just published an update that will do it! :D

Note it will require a reboot and all existing widgets must be replaced after!

Can you please report how it works for you?

Thanks!
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] _alphaBeta_:
Hi,

Gave it a whirl and it seemed to work. Unfortunately, I tried your new "uninstall from system" options and it wound up uninstalling the entire application from my DROID 2. I'll get it back on there when I have some more time to play with it. Just be aware that it does a little more than uninstalling from system.

Is this greyed out heading "(System) Toggles" supposed to stay greyed out once it's installed as a system application? The only indication that a system install was in effect was that the option to install as a system application now said uninstall.

You may want to leave some time for a user to grant su permissions when installing as a system application. I've seen this on other apps. It took a couple tries to be quick enough to allow your app permissions before it reported that it didn't have them.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] 3c:
Well, that's why I initially left this out, because uninstall from system is not as easy as installing to system! I'll try to improve it by moving the app back to user space instead, but then users might end-up with multiple installs... Quite tricky.

This is just informative as I want to make sure users understand how system (or power-widget-based) toggles do work (or do not work)...

I indeed noted that sometimes it failed after being granted su permissions... Note sure how to permanently solve this, but I'll try to put a delay before launching further commands under su process to see if it improves.

Wish it was easier to test it, but unfortunately it often requires rebooting the phone!!!
