Nice one! Only bug I can see is that the dialer isn't HTC - it's the Donut one. Just letting you know.

Thanks - changed description to "Themed dialer" instead of "Hero dialer".

great job!!

Nice!
Thanks Plemen. Nice, clean setup. Its great to go back to native res for a bit.

I like the theme, especially the app slider. I do have two suggestions though. One is doing something to blend the different color box around the time better, it looks like an awkward block. Then also, change the color of the date on the top when you pull down the notification shade. Its currently black on black.

Good suggestions - both are high on the list. I almost didn't release because of the clock but I wanted to have a native Res donut with themed dialer out there... I should have an update in a few days.

plemen, I added your ROM to my theme thread. 3rd post will be the running list. Hope we can keep them coming. I can help you with the notification text color if you want. Or you can grab the services.jar from mine which is already hex edited for white text.

what should my lcd density be set to?
Edit: also, in spare parts when I set the end keys function to"home then sleep" it doesn't work. anyway to fix that?
DOUBLE Edit: turns out it does work, just takes a whole 7 seconds to do so.

lcd.density=120 works well. To be honest I've left this out while testing and the default looks pretty good too.
The new button mapping is long-hold camera to return home. Leave the end key at default.

thanks for the help.

New build on first post - switched to enatefox base (deodexed); fixed the clock color and background.

Does this have java enabled?

The time looks a lot better now. I really like this build, its my new everyday one. The one complaint I still have is the date is impossible to read when the notification shade is pulled down.
EDIT: attempting now to make it work with mssmision's method.

Fixed the date - keep the input coming.
I was using mssmision's method for a while - had some mysterious reboots using that and will have to test more - now I'm back to sqsh. If anyone is interested in an .ext2 file let me know. You can use ext2 instead of the sqsh if you want to modify any system files while the phone is live.

plemen, this is awesome... works great with mssmison's new partitioning technique, runs fast, looks fantastic. Great work on this build. It's not my everyday build... till Bell gets the Samsung Galaxy next month

Is the new download with the fixed date compatible with the mssmision method? I want to use that and yours. Have had no restarts and it definitely runs faster.

Everything is running solid using the 200mb ext2 partition method. It's been awhile since I've messed with anything android but this is great. Thanks a lot.

[MOD] LCD Density - DIY!

Ok guys, people seem to be having problems using the LCD Density changer app, so I am making this write up to help you out
If you would like to make your Droid X look like this...
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Then follow these steps.
Method 1 - ADB
1. Download LCD Density w/ 2.2 market Fix - This also contains the 2.2 market fix (without the stagefright)
2. Put the build.prop in your android-sdk\tools folder
3. Connect your phone via usb, make sure it shows up with adb devices
4. adb remount
5. adb push build.prop /system/build.prop
6. adb reboot
Method 2 - Root Explorer
1. Copy the build.prop to the root of your SD card
2. Long press on build.prop
3. Select "Copy"
4. Navigate to /system
5. Click R/W in the top right corner
6. Paste, and overwrite
7. Reboot
Your screen will now look like this, giving you much more space. And If using ADW launcher, you can use 6 X 5 rows of icons!!
Now if you really like to do things yourself, in the build.prop..
Change
ro.sf.lcd_density=240
to
ro.sf.lcd_density=200
push, reboot.
If you want to revert back, just push this Stock Build prop back into place.
Credit to the guy who made LCD Density app, but it did not work with Droid X phone and koush's recovery installed. People had to SBF, so this post was necessary.

does this change the resolution ? does it affect any apps from running correctly ?
Looks great, I think I'd like to try it. Just want to make sure it's safe I guess.

Jacked mine up.. the method works fine, the only problem is that apps are completely screwy now.. the apps only show up in the original size so if your screen is 4 inches the app is only displaying in like 2.5 inches of space and the rest is just black now, also cause some fuzziness with some various icons in the notification bar ( battery etc).. definately gonna revert back

Only seemed to have resolution problems in the root explorer app, all other apps work fine Aside from that, i think 200 is probobly a little on the low side, may try 220 or 230 for a improvement

Yea I love it but a few of my apps are also little now. I'm gonna rock it tonight and see how I feel in the morning.

Worked well for me as well.
Thanks very much.
FYI
I couldnt adb remount (got an error, not sure why but whatever)
I had to boot into recovery, then do an
Code:
adb shell
then just (assuming your modified build.prop is on the sdcard root)
Code:
mv /sdcard/build.prop /system
exit & reboot!

230 was a good middle ground

Yeah, I like how it looks mostly but some apps don't strech which is kinda annoying. I'll give it a shot for a day or two and see what I think.

Change screen density (icon/text sizes)

For anyone who doesn't know, this is a neat and simple trick to make the items on your screen bigger or smaller:
EASY WAY (it will keep the setting until you do a hard reset-- holding the power down for 10 or so seconds until it powers off):
1. Download LCDDensity for Root (free) from Market
2. Change density based on your preferences (higher # = bigger items, lower resolution; lower # = smaller items, higher res)
MORE ADVANCED WAY (if you want the change to survive a hard reboot):
1. In root explorer, navigate to system/ and backup your build.prop file.
2. Set system to r/w
3. Hold down on the original file, and select open in text editor
4. Find the two entries where it says:
ro.sf.lcd_density.xdpi=169.33333
ro.sf.lcd_density.ydpi=169.33333
If you wanted your density to be 250, you'd change them to the following single line:
ro.sf.lcd_density=250
5. Save, reboot, and enjoy your NC's new look.
Here are a couple of my homescreens set at 250:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Now, jacking up your LCD density much above 200 will make your status bar look wonky and cut-off. One solution for this is to set it to 250, like above (by changing build. prop - I think the app I mentioned only allow multiples of 20), which will make it look clean (as long as wifi is on). The only problem there is that you'll lose your status bar clock and Notifications in portrait mode ...
... the solution for THIS is to get two apps: hellostatusbar, and quick launch. Set quick launch to open hellostatusbar on a home-button double press, and it will display your Notifications.
FYI the Galaxy Tab's default is 240

The free one, LCDDensity for Root, doesn't keep the change after doing a full (battery pull) reboot. To me, this is less than ideal, but if you don't mind changing it again, knock yourself out.

A battery pull reboot on a NOOKcolor? Don't you need a screwdriver for that?

I believe he is using the phone example for reference. In the case of the NC, the free option should be a good alternative for those not wanting to modify scripts.

Anyway, thanks for providing the entries to change manually. It's a good tip.

RoboRay said:

Yeah, good point - not sure if a power-button-long-hold hard reset would be the equivalent on a Nook or not. If it is only a battery pull that would do it, then you would indeed need a screwdriver and a little bit of masochism for that to be a problem.
EDIT: the long power button hold reset DOES make the free app lose the setting

If anyone's interested in getting the density more like the Galaxy Tab's without having an ugly, cut-off looking status bar in portrait mode (with a couple sacrifices), here's a little work-around I came up with (if you're using softkeys mapped to double-tap of home button, this isn't for you):
1. Set density to 250 using the build.prop editing method. Reboot.
2. Get a market app called HelloStatusBar.
3. Get a market app called QuickLaunch. Open it and set home button double-tap to open HelloStatusBar.
You'll lose your status bar clock, and it'll look ugly with wifi off, but with wifi on, it'll be nice and clean like the pic below:
Your Notifications will be gone, but now you can double-tap home to bring them up:

Very useful and thanks for sharing!

I bought the paid version and it does not survive a reboot. Unless I am doing it wrong. Which is highly likely.

I'm not familiar with the paid version, so I can't really comment on that.
That's ADW EX launcher, with the browser, email, and app drawer icons from the Galaxy Tab. Not sure if Samsung's launcher icons are open source, so I won't post them (PM'd). . .

So wait the galaxy tab comes stock with the screen virtualized to be a different resolution than it actually is?

adwlauncher ex has adjustable icon sizes. You can adjust so icons are a nice size and not interfere with the dock. As if you needed another reason for ex!

I am using LCD Density Changer at 190. Works great.

I manually changed mine to 141, an opposite reaction to many. By doing this I can get 4-5 items in the notification area on the right and things are not too small on the screen.

Where is the root explorer program located?

I am liking 200, because it makes the back arrow easier to press !

White on White text in apps?

I have an NC, rooted with autonooter, and everything seems to be working ok, but on lots(most) app's dialogs, including the nook popup UI, I will get get white on white text.
Has anyone else seen this or have a fix? It makes several apps a guessing guessing game and checkboxes have no descriptions so I haven't been able to check any of them.
Thanks!

i have the same problem!

me too! * Hoping for a quick fix!*

So, if its not a unique issue, are there people who have working rooted nooks that don't have the issue? I'm assuming that stock/unrooted NC's don't have the issue so is this some setting that needs tweaking when we open up the rest of the android OS?

I assumed it was an issue with the rooting process.

Im having the same problem with the long-press pop-up menu in xScope. I had to use trial and error to memorize the location of each option.
Sent from my Nooted friend...

What applications are you seeing this in? I haven't noticed white on white text.
I have noticed that Tasker's action tab has light blue on dark blue that's really hard to read. I think that's the only one I've seen

How do you add a bookmark in xscope? Thanks

I've had this problem with the pop-up windows in XScope and RedditIsFun, although I feel like it must have happened at other times as well. It's always in a pop-up window.

I find the ADW settings screen very hard to read. It's white text on almost white background & I first thought that they were grayed out. Very annoying!
Cheers,
kev

I had it too. I saw it first in an email widget I got off the Market - de.invalidobject.mailwidget or something like that. White on white text on a popup.

Yes. Same here. It is very annoying to see Table of Content with white fonts on white background with my ezPDF Reader. And many pop up screens too.

I feel like the reason for this is because the apps are using the sam sort of theme that the books settings page uses.
The apps are set to be white on black but the book is set to be black on white so they get mixed up.
Sorry if that doesn't make sense it is rather late here.
Sent from my NOOKcolor using the xda app

I found this to be the case in the game Alchemy if you try to get info on items you've created. The popup shows hyperlinks in blue but all other text is white on white and unreadable.

I seriously doubt this has anything to do with the nooting, vs just that the default text color is not appropriate for normal Android apps.
I suspect someone can find the way to fix it eventually.

it happens in lots of places

No text visible next to the checkbox for what I assume is something like 'set default'

In file manager context menu
and here is an example where you can almost see the white text on a settings page
It makes things kind of a guessing game, with possible bad consequences if you choose the wrong option
So, is there a way (setting/app/etc) to change the theme or text color globally or such?
thx!

What I do is I highlight an option which changes the background color of the item but I don't release so I can read what it is, bad part is I have to do it for all menus until I get used to which blank spot I can click. Hopefully we can get this fixed

Good workaround... I've been also having to use my phone as reference for apps that I use on both such as Tasker.
Such a pain in the arse, but I know help is around the corner. Someone out there with the knowhow is going to change the xml settings for font color soon and share with the rest of us.

CURRENT ISSUES.
Don't open the app after a reboot till it notifies you it's value is restored after a reboot. Again this is BETA and is work being done on getting it resolved.
REQUIREMENTS!
Must be rooted.
Must have busybox.
Must have SeLinux set to permissive.

No. You don't need Tasker to use Vsharp. Vsharp is a stand alone application built on tasker using the Tasker app factory.
I just posted the source in the second post to show the work if someone wanted to look at it or modify to their liking

Actually my biggest complaint about the display isn't actually the stock sharpness setting of 4, but the gamma. The gamma on my V10 is off a considerable amount and I'm losing detail in dark scenes. It's definitely not around the more standard gamma value of 2.2
I hoping to tune that up in the future also with this app.

Anyone has this confirmed to be working? ^.^
Will love to add it to the Index with confirmation

It's just like setting the sharpness on your tv. It should not have any effect on taking a picture. If you see some grain effect in a pic its completely unrelated to this mod. What your experiencing is noise in a dark scene which is typical of a small, high pixel count camera sensor.
When taking a picture, try to use the lowest ISO setting possible. In a dark scene the ISO will need to be greater for a properly exposed pic. This is when you will experience the most noise.

I personally set it to 0 as there really isn't any need for sharpening. It just introduces noise in the display.

SWEET! Thanks for this! I was really bummed that the screen on the amazing V10 was not as sharp as my G3. Now its just as sharp. (doesn't seem to affect the second screen, but don't care)
I set it to value 30...anything more and it doesn't seem to do anything. Also, setting to max, 99, upon reboot is goes back to 0.
EDIT: So.....maybe an issue. The sharpening effect dies when i launch some apps, like Gallery. I then go back into the VSharp app and its reads the value and its back to 4..like it was overridden by the system.
Edit: Removed Gallery, Switched to Google Photos app. Doesn't instant kill sharp effect when that app is used.

Sharpness not sticking after screen off.
I definitely am noticing that any sharpness value is not sticking/being re-applied when the screen shuts off/locked or goes to sleep.
I go back into the app, and it reads the current value and it says what i set it to (30), but when i toggle it up or down, I can instantly see the example bars sharpen up, which proves it was off then was re-applied when I toggled the value.
I tried setting the app to ignore battery optimizations in system settings, thinking maybe the OS is killing the app in the background, but that has no effect. I also tried disabling the lock screen entirely, no change.
Any ideas? I do have other things like Xposed, App settings (530 dpi set on certain apps), Gravity Box, and G4 TweakBox installed....but none of them have any display mods enabled.
Any way to make a widget or something i can one-press to toggle the value and re-apply....vs having to use the app every time I want the screen sharp after it goes off.
Edit: Is this app supposed to may a dozen and more "Subsystem/img_tune/" directories in /sys/class/panel/...all inside of each other.
Is there a way to just change the sharpness file and lock it to read only o that it can be overridden...I have tried setting permissions using root explorer to read only...but it still get overwritten at reboot..and eventually by system.

Do i need to set selinux every time i reboot and app runs?
