I heard somewhere that the Desire has a really nice feature that when u pick the phone up, the ring volume will lower itself. Is it possible one the N1 ?
Yea just install the Desire ROM.
my last phone had feature where you could flip the phone over to silence the ringer if you don't wanna answer. using the accelerometer.
it would be nice if someone could implicate this
i also had that feature on my old phone, quite nice
also, lower ring on pick up would also be nice if it can be brought into CM ROMs..
There are a couple of apps on the market that do this.
Flip.....something.
Oh this is a very nice feature on the Desire ROM in using! Gonna miss it when I switch back to Cyanogen or Stock entirely to obtain Froyo..
Technically, what prevents Cyanogen from implementing this into his ROM?
well so basically that feature utilizes the accelerometer ? I thought it had sth to do with the sensor lol. Anyway, hopefully someone can port it to a plain Vanilla android soon, esp Cyanogen )

Someone has to write up code for it. Cyanogen doesn't use yank private code to toss into his roms.

Is it worth me taking a new dream from Tmobile UK and rooting it to get a Hero ROM so I can have the new UI ??
Are there any problems with the ROM ?? that would stop it being used day to day ? also is it worth trading googlemail push for Microsoft Active Sync for Exchange which I used before on my WM device. ??
Hero is a port from a device with higher specs so to run on a g1, there will be a noticeble inherit slowness. I believe you will still have gmail on a hero rom though. For day to day use I would use a cyanogen rom. If you do want to run hero, you will need to partion your sd card into 3 partions, hero also has problems missing text, no bluetooth and no led notiifacations
Thankyou
Sounds pretty much like its not worth it then shame cause i love the dream QWERTy keyboard trying to type emails with on screen keyboard is a nightmare.
are there any screen shots of this ROM you mentioned ? What is good about this ROM ?
I just got the Dream yesterday it was supposed to be a Hero but they sent the wrong phone and offered me line rental discount if i kept it.
I just not sure if I should send it back and get hero.

it depends on how much you want the physical keyboard. personally i wouldn't be able to give it up. the cyanogen rom he mention looks like a stock rom unless you theme. sorry don't know where i can get stock screen shot right now. you can probably google it though.
Go over the devolpment sub-forum and go into cyanogenmod thread, you can see screnshots there, go witht the stable version which is 4.04, basiclly the feel and look of a stock rom but optimize for performance, it is the top rom for speed and stabilty at the moment. You can also download the cm updater from the market to stay on top of updates and a easy way to flash for now on. But make sure you make a nandroid backup for a just in case cause every once in a while you can get a bad download. Highly suggest also flashing cyanogen's pimped out recovery 1.4
Thanks for the info I might just hold off for a while and see how I go with stock ROM although I suspect I need to do something cause i am struggling to find any widgets that I want to use on the phone as standard

im pretty sure you could find a g1/dream on ebay or somewhere fairly cheap so if you can i would get the hero and have the g1 i mean i am buying a practically brand new g1 from a friend that is rooted with the 1.33.2005 spl for $100 maybe i just got really lucky.
You got lucky, I just got mine from t-mobile for 150 with a new 2 year contract, so hopefully my g1 won't be extremely out of date and unsupported by then. At least by then there should be a new android phone with a snapdragon or tegra processor with 500mb ram and a pyshical keyboard which will blow away the g1 and even hero. Who knows by then we might have full graphic support with some cool ass games. Just hope we can get some better battery life by then

actually gridlock is pretty much wrong.
bluetooth doesnt work but i dont need it so i can live without it. LEDs dont fully work. it shines green whenever i get something new,but it doesnt blink.
missing text only exist is some hero roms... in JACs 1.6r2a , sms works fine. there is a slowness when compared to other cupcake builds, but hero runs pretty fast in my opinion. just cyanogens cupcake builds run faster.
i really like the sense ui and included widgets. multitouch is nice. and watching youtube in High quality over a 3g network is wonderful.
i love using the twitter widget. its soo useful. i only use twitter to follow devs,android news,tmonews, and new ROM news. so its easy to keep track of what the devs are doing and releasing
also i enjoy using my phone as a wifi access point, so i can use my laptop anywhere i go.
there is lag at times,but its not like SUPER SLOW. and you cant open the keyboard while at the homescreen. u just cant yet. but in apps u can.
isn't there hero free from tmobile uk with a contract? or was that only for a while back? i remember seeing it when it was released. i would definitely get the hero then just buy a g1 off ebay or something. then just alternate between the 2. also it would take a large discount for me to keep the g1.
don't get me wrong i love my g1 but it would be easier to buy a g1 that it would be to buy a hero, just my opinion.
Ok so how do you figure I am wrong, you just backed up what I said, ok so you get your led to shine but it is still not correctly working, you backed up what I said about it being slower, I was saying hardware wise, and you backed up saying that some hero roms miss texts. Can you run your hero without swap or compchace without having a significant difference, I don't think so. Yes hero roms are getting better but in all reality how was I pretty much wrong when you said the same thing in nicer terms. Just out of curiosity. I think it just comes down to a matter of opinion

"hero also has problems missing text, no bluetooth and no led notiifacations"
jacs hero 1.6r2a has no sms issues. the ones that have sms issues are the one thats older and outdated, or the new hero roms that hasnt been optimized.
LED notifications exist. just not as good as cupcake, but they are there.
its late and i dont feel like arguing with u. hero does have lag compared to cupcakes builds,but its not major
i say get the hero and than get a g1 i got one from craigslist practically new without contract for 130=D
Just been looking down the specs
The Dream and Hero are pratically the same apart from the memory and camera.
Not really to bothered by the camera anyways I got a 12mp camera if i want a photo. The video on the Hero is poor anyways. The only thing id be paying for is widgets at the expense of a full keyboard of the dream.
I suspect the increase in ROM and RAM is only to allow the Hero to run the Sense UI interface.
I think im going to stick with the dream.....

Does anyone know if there is a leak of the new MotoBlur UI or rom? or if it's even possible to port to the G1? ... I know it was just annouced but there isn't a section for it and i wouldn't mind having some of the widgets and or features that have already been shown. Does anyone have any additional info on this besides what's already been released my motorola today?

i figured it would work in either section but it is development based b/c it is a new UI that hasn't been seen ... I was more or less tryin to spark interest into this.
Just in case someone didn't know, here some info http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/10/live-from-motorolas-android-announcement-at-mobilize-09/
Looks awesome, but i think the device only has the qualcomm ~550MHz cpu..
Waiting for the Motorola Sholes with Snapdragon, whoooo
As long as it runs on the Qualcomm architecture that the Dream/Magic/Hero etc. run on, there's no reason why it could not be ported to the Dream. Once it comes out, that is.
this will probably take months before its leaked and weeks before its usable
ANY videos?

Hero STILL doesn't have bluetooth, based on past results, it's very very hard to port this stuff over in a usable manner. The devs are the best, but if we still don't have Hero working, what are the odds of us getting this one anytime soon?

I'd say there's a high chance of getting a full working version of "MOTOBLUR" on the G1 before a working version of Sense UI.
Of course nobody can comment before the phone/rom is released but at first glance it doesn't look like the core of android has been edited much, if at all. It's simply the stock android home screen with 2 extra shortcuts at the bottom and some new widgets.
Even the calendar app has remained the same.
http://www.t-mobile.com/promotions/GenericRegular.aspx?PAsset=Pro_Pro_MotoCliqLaunch&WT.mc_id=637m3
go to this page and click on the MotoBlur Demo link on the right hand side to get
a full demo of the UI.
I like the fact that your "inbox" contains messages/gmails/fbook messages all in one list.
And it has the same screen res and 528mhz processor as the g1 so it shouldn't be too much work to get it on there. This is way more exciting than hero, cuz the hero roms are so slow

agreed i love the universal inbox as well as the Happenings screen/widget. even if that was all we got, i would be happy lol
what people need to realize is that its not about what official rom we want.. its what from each rom we want.. cause with the way devs keep taking things from all the new roms and putting into current ones.. all we need is to take the best from each and make one bomb rom..lol

devs havent got bluetooth to work cuz the hero source code is closed source. if motorola keeps the source code for the blur UI open, then devs have
all around access to not only port the build but framework, bluetooth, led's,etc.
i hope we get a system dump soon this UI looks real good.. i dont like all the colors but im sure manups work'll take care of all that

nah not with the rom devs here kid. i give em three days tops!
cyan might be getting a system dump sometime very soon.
Don't play with my emotions jc....lol. I'm hoping we can get this ported because all I really want from Hero is the HTC Music (got it) and the integrated social apps. This would be gold and for cyan to work his magic...
so cool
moto is back
Okay im new to the scene, had my nexus since Febuary after i broke my iphone. i want to join the rooted life but i dont know which is the better one for me since theres like over 4 diffrent roms *kanye shrug*
but ive been reading about kitchens, from my understanding its a program that let you pick what you want flashed, i want to find out which rom allows me to install things i really want.
heres a simple list
htc keyboard, htc peep (i believe thats impossible still want it though lol), anything that can make the trackball change color, a volume boost if it exists, the desire camera app, and a BETTER GALLERY APP if it exists, the one thats stock is pure a$$ it makes pics look like trash (main reason it failed that iphone vs n1 screen test)
thanks in advance

Hi guys,
I have a N1 and have moved from Froyo to Sense. My question, are there any Custom roms which have the best of both worlds?
Froyo features I like, Pattern unlock without having to swipe unlock first, shows charge levels when charging.
Sense features I like, Widgets, Music Player.
Is there a custom rom with best of both, or can you load the HTC apps onto Froyo independently?
Thanks in advance.
Plz ask in the q&a forum.
I don't think the Froyo Sense rom is stable yet.
I found this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=714184
It has a black bar and is Froyo. It's pretty much a hacked stock build thats not bloated but rooted and ready for hacking.

Cool, I'm on this now, liking it. Will check it for a while. Well liking the way that the Google account pulls down all your apps you have installed, can switch roms in minutes.
Its honestly all opinions my friend
That's like asking: Do you like chocolate cake? Cause I like vanilla. My mom likes carrot cake, and my dad. Well. My dad likes apple pie.

Your mom and dad are wrong. Vanilla is obviously the way to go
EDIT: OP: I wouldn't mess with any available sense froyo roms for awhile. Try out vanilla froyo and when good sense froyo roms are available you can check them out then.
Hey.
Do you have a AT&T version or a T-Mob version?...
If you have an At&t version could you please disable the 3g data and just enable the wifi and test if the wireless keep alive when the phone go to sleep
Thx.

Many good ROM's to try out. Just start with a ROM, flash it, test it for a few days, if you don't like it, try another.
No ROM is better than the other, is all about personal taste. Many people praise Cyanogen's work, though i admit he does a good job on his work, i prefer a ROM more closer to stock then i just take a little from others and put it in in the one i use for my own personal taste.
okay here is my idea... im the type of guy that wants the best of both worlds.. maybe im asking for 2 much.. but how hard would it be to put some of ics's features ie. the notifications bar and task manager and launcher in stock gb with out all the bloatware and still be able to have complete functionality with phone.. camera video bluetooth wifi ect... im a noob to all this sooo there may be something along the lines already made or in the works.. but hey i had to ask... id be whilling to help out anyway i can.. id like to learn and i think it would be a good opurtunity...

Holo launcher has alot of what you're asking. We can't exactly make a hybrid of GB and ICS because..... well just cause you need a base OS. Either ICS or GB. And ICS has alot of features that just wouldn't work for GB base because of GB limitations and kernel limitations. Hashcode has implemented his own kernel which he is working tirelessly on for SEVERAL devices, although the D3 is the only one with 512MB of RAM, which makes it even harder to do this. Despite all this, the only thing really not working on Hash's CM9/10 is the camera, which he is also working on.

Hash made two versions of ICS/JB, one that was running ICS using the GB kernel, where rapmv78, another XDA user made a workaround hack that made the camera work partially, not fully (ie. no video function). Those ROMs that were running ICS on the GB kernel, were slightly broken otherwise. Meaning sluggish, broken features and the likes, compared to the now 3.0 kernel that Hash has implemented. Those ROMs that have the camera working are based on the CM9 ROMs with GB kernels. These new CM10 roms that Hash has are running the 3.0 kernel. Hash is working on getting the OS to work smoothly and efficiently first, and camera later.
ahh i see now.. makes sence.. see this is my first venture into android world.. been locked up and what not.. so tho ive read bout them still alot different then using them... but glad to see hes working on it.. i the thing is i really dont care for a vid camera.. i mean it would be nice but not nessassary... as of now my phone is bricked..waiting on a battery charger and new battery to come in.. then ill be up and running again.. i was using darkness rises as a daikly driver and only went to stock wen i needed bluetooth which isnt alot.. the only problem that i found with darkness was that the launcher would crash when u swiped all the way to the left or right.. simple fix just install a new launcher.. i used apex.. but i will try the one you suggested.. cus i like the swipe away features of ics and the task manager... i almost bought a new phone when i bricked mine but i decided against it cus i really dont like the other choices i could afford.. and id rather stick with motorolla cus i like there interface.. my friend has a htc sensation and tho its nice.. i feel the droid is better.. i mean he has 4g and ics stock.. but other then that i have hd a better cam and my phone is faster then his.. and i really dont need 4 g cus im always on wifi.. tho my next phone will have it.. just trying to decide for my next phone if i want a keyboard or not... cus i really dont use mine all that often cus the lights are out on it.. so its kinda hard to type in the dark or w.e but thats minor.. but my upgrade is a lil ways away so im just gonna keep mine.. tho i was debating on buying a new droid 3 cus mine is a lil battle scared... crack in the top right left corner.. thankfully it missed the front camera.. and the keyboard not lighting up..
