Open Home full feature 1.5 build

Hey guys,
Is anyone brave enough to test the full feature 1.5 build of Open Home Full? We know we can always find some brave ones here
It requires that you are running android 1.5 on your phone (aka Cupcake). This build has full supports of 1.5 widgets and also a good amount of stability and performance improvements.
We had not done a lot of testing on this build; also this build will expire in a month (5/30). If you want to test the latest and greatest, feel free to install and try this build.
*Remember safe mode is hold menu button when powering on*, if you see anything wrong, just enter safe mode and then uninstall it.
Do NOT install unless you are running android 1.5
Download the apk at
http://groups.google.com/group/openhome/files

I assume since I'm running the dudes build and it supports widgets it may work. I can always remove if necessary . This doesnt remove open home right? just a different version?
EDIT: it replaces the existing open home

Hmm, I was impressed with the demo of OpenHome when I downloaded it a couple days ago. I'll take a look.

downloading it now. I have just flashed the holiday cupcake build so I assume it'll work with this. I'll let you know.

So far so good. I am glad to have openhome back again in 1.5
I have added all widgets, and they all work as expected. Are some of these the 1.5 "stock" widgets? I assume so because i see 2 music widgets listed, one looks like your own and the other a stock one.
I'll let you know how it goes after some proper usage. great work so far though. thankyou.
oh, p.s .. Will this be a free upgrade for those who had previosly purchased open home full ?

Works well enough. I like it.
Normally use full edition but will keep this until it is updated.
Suggestion: How about that calendar widget from Haykuro's build so those with dude's builds can use it?

Using it. Works well so far. I'm an OH Full user too, will I have any problems going back to the market app when it gets updated/released?
Ps. Is there any way to add support for Jeff Sharky's weather widgets? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=509729

Weather widgets ok here. Problem with battery percentage widget though

It's already supported. That weather widget is working fine for me.

Hey guys i like the changes the menus are a little more intuitive now! Shame it doesn't seem to maintain your icons from older version, but weirdly kept my fonts theme etc - not sure if that qualigfies as a bug or not really
One problem i have found though is it seems to scrap folder icons the second you open bettercut again, not a huge problem but ....

BUGS!
I have almost 200 apps to SD so it's convenient to have my favorite "few" on the desktop. After I installed the new apk file... everything was GONE! Huge inconvenience! Then when I pull up the app menu I can watch them appear one after another like the app is doing a search for the installed apps. I also tried Picture Frame. It seems like it pulls up the Camera app, then the gallery. I selected my picture. Cropped it. Saved it. Then it went back to "select picture" again. Strange. Also... AnyCut Open Home Edition doesn't work. Definite bugs.
Other then that I love it. Thanks! Is this going to be in an update and when will it be available in Market? I purchased the full version months ago.

I don't think it has anything to do with bettercut because I don't have it installed and it still goes back to the default folder icons randomly, sometimes it comes back sometimes it doesn't.

Yea that kind of pissed me off when I realized it took all my stuff off the screen and the dock. It works fine besides these few issues though.

Hey quick question, is there any way to add a 3d effect on swipe? Like when you swipe to left or right screen, screen shrinks and rotates as a 3d cube. That will be awesome dude, you can name the app something different and charge for it again because I know damn well people will pay for it. I definitely will.

The reguar widget works for me, but not his. It isn't even displayed as an option.

Trying it out on my new Magic

But it's not 'open' in any sense...

Really dissapointed in losing all of my icons on all 7 screens. Glad that "real" widget support was actually added in. Almost went back to dxTop because of this. Please make the full version available on the market as an upgrade to the old full version. It would be nice to make it detect the old settigns and import them in.

Hey guys.. uhh i accidentally set my home to default instead of open home.. any help would be appreciated!

Opps. You have to wipe now.
Just kidding. You deal with it the same way as if you would set the defaults as any other app. Settings>Applications>Manage Applications>Home>Clear defaults.

Been using this app for a few days now.I havent ran into any problems with it pretty smooth.Only down side was losing my icons.But no biggie.

Wonderful job
dzo, incubus26jc, kallt_kaffe are the leaders.
Not to forget OTHERS and you as well th3lolz who make things easier.
I wished this was here when it was there, but this is now and that was then.
This will really help the ones without browsing/data plans. Great contribution!

is the link broken ?
edit : probably its just my connection, still can't download it.

aa

Thanks, this is great
its so clean without the unnecessary icons and more space for other apps
EDIT: One question, I tried out Flex dialer and i cant seem to get it to work, I just get an "I'm sorry" error when it dials my voice number.

aa

th3lolz said:
Yeah I had the same problem, go to the flex dialer configuration settings, and change the dial pattern from "A,B,2,C#" to "A,p,B,2,C#"
It no longer gives the "I'm sorry" error and works great for outgoing calls
I'll add it to the OP too to make it easier in the future, I thought that it was just me.

Hi, I installed this last night, but for whenever my phone is in sleep mode, it keeps randomly rebooting. Is there a way to stop this?

hi
I have htc elf
I want to know that can I install it on my phone or not ?
tnx

This is nice...
I just installed in my vogue, and all work as well.
Camera work fine, with the setting pop-up when i touch the icon, except for zoom function, if i touch it, camera would stop.
With task killer, i see 2 running services that usually not show up in other build.
"android keyboard" and "pl.magot.vet..."
does it took a lot of memory ?
it won't close at all..
EDIT : it's ancal process, can i uninstall it as well as GPS test, because my vogue doesnt have GPS.
Hope would be more performance improvement with next release, and might be some black theme as default...
Btw, eclair + no data plan and app replacement would be nice to have.
Thank you th3lolz for this build,
i think i will keep it run it my vogue untill there's a new release with more light build.

Here's another one, while the screen locked, signal bar would present the actual signal of the phone, when you unlocked it, the signal bar would drop, but looks like it doesnt effect when i making a call.

Is there a way to get Incubus26Jc's Darkstar theme without having to install the his androidinstall.tar? They have all the other theme's androidupdate, but none for the ROM's theme. >.<

You could try to unpack the androidupdate.tar and your android ROM you like, find the different, do some adjustment script, and repackage it again. I think you could use some different theme for your android....

th3lolz,
with this build, i got a lot of missed call, the screen doesn't wake up for incoming call. i hope this will fixed soon.

Did you try Incubus' build? - I'm pretty sure I didn't remove anything that would cause that

Yes, i already try all the android from all dev;
all incubus android, all myn's android, also dzo and Kallt_Kaffe, and i prefer to choose your build for my daily use.
With incubus' build, it also happen, and all things more slower then your build, and i prefer to choose not using rogue tools for more battery life.
With your build there's no need to use rogue tools.
And more clean from unused apps and more responsive when i push some button ( -menu, dialer, home, etc ... )
Sorry if i ask you too much...
and thanks for your support...

Cyanogen 6.1.0 Stable Release

As a sequel to my Cyanogen Nighlies thread, I thought it appropriate to create a celebratory post linking to the stable release of 6.1.0 for the Droid Incredible.
Please reply with your experiences, inquiries, and love for one of the smoothest, rock solid ROMs available for your device. I am also open to ideas about what else to include in this OP including links to themes, juicy nuggets of relevant info, or known issues (should we find any that are repeatable).
For now, please enjoy this excellent release, and kick a few pennies up to Koush. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!
Download link (or just grab it from ROM Manager):
http://mirror.teamdouche.net/?device=inc&type=stable
Known issues:
-Cyanogen default auto brightness adjusts only once, so moving from light to dark results in protracted dim settings.
-While disconnected from the charger, trackball wake will intermittently fail. This is a known bug and has been filed as such.
-Flash Test does not do anything for applications that don't have a customized setting. It should still blink using the systemwide default green when a real event comes in.
Solution Sets/Workarounds:
To install the new Market and avoid FCs:
1) settings-applications-manage and delete cache for the market
2) wipe cache
3) wipe dalvik cache

What's the best kernel for 6.1?

"Best" is certainly a relative term, however my personal preference for both speed and battery life is invisiblek's AOSP kernel.

Which version do you prefer?

Incredibleks. Best Kernel ever. Seriously, for AOSP Roms, it is the choice. Seriously, overclocking on a snapdragon is pretty pointless. The speed differences are pretty much non-existent.

op link is messed up. you got an emoticon stuck in it

wow.. it took a while but nice to see it make final.. seemed like it was never gonna make it past rc status

I'm on 17 and love it but it appears that different kernels are acting differently on different phones. I was on 18 for a while an noticed that battery life wasn't as great and went back to 17, while other people said that 18 was better than 17 on their phone. Now 19 is out and if you look at the last couple of pages half the posts say that 19 is the best yet for battery and the other half is reporting ridiculous battery loss. You're probably best off getting the most recent one listed on the first post (#18).

Great ROM. I was running the nightly for literally a day only to come back at night and see a stable. This + the Gingerbread theme + Gingerbread Launcher will hold me over until the source drops for GB and we get a port

L.E.D don't work when getting text,mail,etc... other then that runs smooth. Thanx for all the hard work u guys put into these!

One question I have is this: I know how to remove the status bar widgets, but after doing so I'm stuck with that blank space normally occupied by the Verizon Wireless banner. Is there a way to put that back in there so there isn't that gap?
Odd that I want it back I know, but some things I'm just anal about.

Is there anyway to make it so that when you unlock and turn off the screen its instant instead of the fade out effect?

What's wrong with the stock kernel? Invisiblek are very solid but going to give koush's stock kernel a try.
On a side note, does anyone know if the stock kernel has smart ass governor on it?

Optical pad wake
Is anyone else having a problem with the optical pad wake only working once in a while? It always works if the phone is charging but if it isn't charging it's like a 30/70 chance of it working. It seems to work if you hold it down for like 5-10 seconds but that sucks.

Does anyone know how to make it so when I install this ROM all of my apps do not auto reinstall from the market...? My old wallpaper from an AOSP i had like 4 months ago still pops up as default also!
Even if I select "do not backup apps with google" it does not work. I have also tried formatting my SD card, and phone storage to no avail...
I want to install this, but everytime I have installed an AOSP ROM and then a theme, it goes haywire because there is some sort of backup file I can't find.

There's a bug report for this but no one has been able to fix it. I believe it's the trackpad sleeping when not on the charger.
Sometimes a long press and then a short one works.. sometimes it just works.. other times you have to hold it until the screen comes on..
My power button is broken so I live with the press and hold..

During the first setup, skip when it asks you to set up an account. Then run a google app like Market, GMail, etc. and sign in. Contacts will sync but applications will not.

[Q] Tango video chat

Anyone get Tango to work? I tried to install from maket. It downloads fine and then errors on install. Been trying to find an app that works between this tablet and a computer. Any one have any ideas if this one doesn't work? We already got screwed on the Skype beta front.
If I didn't see the potential in the hardware of the grab, I'd return it. So far, VS has really dropped the ball. Stock has no flash or video conferencing. Both on the box.. lol I'll stick it out and hope for the best I guess.

I've had no luck finding a usable video chat app. There's a separate thread for this.
I've tried multiple apps but none have worked...

Yahoo messenger w/ video chat works on mine running Vegan beta 3, but the webcam shows up sideways

I got Tango to work on mine, but its sideways.

Im running vegan b4 and i did a titanium backup on my increddible and then put the backup on my gtab, just apps and app data not system. Ike i said it works but the video of yourself is sideways ut besides that works great.

I mentioned in a previous thread, video calling works better with the gsensor fix. Video chat works fine with yahoo messenger atleast, and is not sideways like it was before the gsensor fix. Maybe it works better with tango.

just tried tango on my droid works awesome never knew much of the app, will give it a shot on my g tablet when i get home its running vegan beta 5 will post if it works.

Tango from titanium
Just a quick side note. If you plan on pulling it from Titanium you wont find it by searching 'Tango', you need to look for the 3 'sgiggle' files to move and restore.
I have it on my tab now but am not in a place to test. I got it to dial out, it was still sideways and died pretty quickly. I'm not too familiar with it so I'm sure it's an error on my part but I'll keep plugging away.

I can confirm Yahoo messanger with the video chat plugin works on VEGAn beta 5 orientation is fine thanks to the gsensor fix. I finally got a chance to test with someone. I don't know if it was just me or not since I only tried once, but after a minute or two I got errors but was able to hit wait and it kept going fine. Eventually I was unable to bring up menus to even exit the chat. Not even to my home screen. Had to reboot to get out of it.
Its a working option for the time being and works from android to computers. So, great option if the closing issues can be fixed.

a lot of people say they got tango to work with video showing sideways.. i see that on my screen but the person i am tangoing with just sees a blank screen... and when i hit the switch camera button it just alerts them that i am switching cameras and stays there..

[Q] Widgets/apps probs

Hi guys, I really hope I can get some help here, can't find anything about the problems I am encountering.
I am using this phone for about 4 weeks now, and it's working fine, except for some problems with widgets. I have problems with 3 apps/widgets now; they all worked fine on my old phone, a HTC Sensation XE (rooted, with different ROM's and Android versions). They all have strange behaviour. At first I thought I had some settings set wrong in the apps themselves, but I tried everything I could think of and now I have to conclude that the problems start with the phone itself.
I am encountering problems with the following apps:
aCalendar+: widget, but also opened app get in some kind of update loop; sync icon starts spinning, stops and immediately starts again, and on and on. It does sync properly though in the meantime.
Plume: Most of the time the widget does not respond to manually syncing. Only after I open the app and sync manually (which works fine), and go back to the widget, I can finally sync using the widget.
Transparent clock & weather: Most of the time, the clock does not keep track of the time, it just hangs. Only when I tap the widget, or refresh the weather, it syncs with the internal clock, like it should. Sometimes though, the clock does keep track for a short time, but in the end it will hang again.
I tried out a lot of different things with the P7 energy- and network apps settings. Also I upgraded to firmware version 126, but it all doesn't make any difference. It's all really annoying, especially because I never had those issues on my old phone.
Anybody got a clue?

I have test this app.
I think you mean this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.droid27.transparentclockweather
I was able to reproduce your problem and solve it.
Please set this app as "protected app". You didn't have set it, so the app would be closed then the screen get off.
You can set this: Settings -> Protected Apps -> Check the checkbox of this app.
Then your widget is working.
Then an app don't set up as protected, the app would be closed on screen off.

Thanks for your help, I already tried that out before. It do not think it made a difference though. Anyway, the time freezing issue also happened when using the phone for some time, I mean without screen off time, so it should not make any difference. But in the meantime I updated the app, and that seems to work.
The links for the other apps:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.levelup.touiteur&hl=nl
I contacted the developer of Acalendar+, and as far as I understood there should be an update coming in the near future that should resolve the problem. I installed another calendar app in the meantime, which just works flawlessly, so maybe I just stick to that one...
I hope Plume gets a working update too, so I can enjoy me phone without being annoyed
Thanks again for your effort!

Oops, I just found out you were right about the protected apps thing. I have not had the issue with the screen active since the last update, but indeed, after screen-off time, the issue is back again. So I guess I should indeed use the protected apps setting.
I don't understand why this is necessary though. I mean, the internal system clock just carries on ticking in standby mode, so why wouldn't the app just sync with that automatically when I activate the screen? Or would it be so that the app has always been active in standby mode on my old phone, and is it only because I now have this protected apps mode on this new phone that I am getting aware of this? If you understand what I mean, this is quite hard for me in English...

I've experienced similar issues. Like you I use aCalendar+ which is very good. However I don't use any of the widgets that come with this app. I prefer Smooth Calendar instead. So far, no problems at all. And as for the clocks, it seems a bit hit and miss. I was using DIGI Clock Plus but had no end of trouble with it. It just won't update on wake up. Protected or otherwise. I've given up on it. The clock widgets from HD Widgets work just fine. There's an amazing array to choose from. Maybe it's an Android issue, maybe Huawei. Who knows? I think the best solution is to find apps and widgets that work and discard those that don't.
