"Ultimate droid" - Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

My buddy has that on his milestone. Its a almost all customizeable rom. Is there any cappy roms that are really really customizable? That rom adds a million options to every menu...

Like what?
If you don't know what you're looking for, we can show it to you.

He's probably referring to the "Ultimate Settings" mod the creator of UD added to the Settings.Apk of the ROM.
He added a whole new menu of options to Settings.Apk that basically gives the user a whole new level of customization of the phone. MANY admin settings are in there. And a lot of options to fine tune some of the big settings from the other menu's.
Ultimate Droid is definitely one of the most robust Android ROM's available. Too bad BlackDroid only really develops for the Droid 1/2/X phones. Although he's supposed to be working on a Fascinate version, which I would love to port once it's out. Mikey, you should look at some videos of the newest Ultimate Droid ROM. GREAT IDEAS.
P.S. His window animations are pretty slick as well, but they need actual porting I think, because they cause some FC's on Serendipity

A buddy of mine has a Droid 1 and although I love my cappy, Serendipity and Perception, I drool over his phone. Some of the ROMS for that thing are just ridiculous, Ultimate Droid being just one of them.
And right now, as much as you can do stylistically with those ROMS, all I really care about really is getting the CRT style animation.
It's alright, we might be a couple months behind, but we'll get there.

I hope UD comes to a cappy near us soon!

Sense UI on Motorola Droid

When is someone going to port sense onto the droid? I just got my droid after a screw up where verizon sent me the eris, and i had to put up with it for 2 weeks. I love sense, but the hardware of the eris was terrible. HTC needs to step up there hardware. I tryed openhome with 2 different themes, one was good, but it forced closed sooooo much it i couldnt use it. I tryed aHome, same problem. Im not sure how safe rooting is, and i really dont want to mess up my phone. What is the best hero rom or theme for the droid? Has any one ported sense ui onto the droid? I mean, i know its possible. I would be willing to root my phone if there are any good roms/themes availible. Also, what are some good roots out there? Ive seen it on so many devices EXCEPT the droid! Im currently running GDE with the hero theme, and it works well, certainly the best ive used, but the only difference is the conversation widget, bar at the bottom, and 7 home screens. Still stuck with all the boring stock android widgets. I want to see sense run on a droid. I want it on MY droid. Thanks in advance.

.......what does this have to do with android themes?
I just thought this was the best place to put it. If it needs to be moved, move it. I didn't see any catagories that it fit in better, and it discusis themes.
I don't know maybe Android Development since you are looking at rooting and booting a new rom on your phone? Just a thought.
sense has been ported, check out the alldroid.org forums, but some vital things such as battery do not work (it must be plugged in)
this might have been fixed tho... idk check it out.
u might have to click on a dev's username in that forum, try eugene373.

it's not a theme. it's a complete rom. which is not a theme. which would mean it does not belong in the themes section. which this is.

Panda Home also has got got reviews on the Droid versus Open Home. I haven't looked into what would be needed to change to theme the Music and Power widgets for their themes yet, thats the only thing they dont import from the Open Home themes.

[ROM] Geared Romage v.02 (WIP)

This is my first attempt at Rom development. After flashing many Roms from great developers here on XDA I have decided to try my hand at it. I'm sure you might ask what's different about this Rom compared to others you have already used. All I can say is this, I have taken the elements that I have grown to love from my favorite Roms and Themes and baked it into something I can be happy with. I hope you will be happy too!
-This is a work in progress-
Everything is not quite what I want yet, I still have a ways to go.
Link is in 2nd post!
Here is what I have so far
I am working on converting all green elements to red- not quite there yet but close.
-Features-
Deodexed and Zipaligned
Bloatware removed
This is based on the latest build 3.26.605.1
My thanks go out to all the great developers that have brought us this far!
Specifically I would like to thank
lllboredlll for pointing me in the right direction for the "Notification Menu Power Control Widget" you can find this here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=853667
snq- for the power menu reboot option http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=776495

So I was just thinking and the notifications will probably be a little too "filled" with the recent apps there too. I personally use my phone alot while im usb tethering and more stuff pushing the notifications downward would be very annoying to me. Just a little thought i had.

Well that was just a thought I had. I am working on a few things right now. The recent apps idea was one, but you are right, so i may look at some other ideas.
How is it working so far?
Nice ROM, I Haven't Installed It Yet. But I Have Two Questions:
1. Can We Change The Font In Your ROM Into The System Default?
And Two
2. Can We Change The Battery Icon? I Personally Don't Like The Number Percentage On The Battery.
Other Than That, I Like The Look Of Your ROM, Good Job!
I Went Ahead And Installed The ROM Last Night, Overall Quick And Snappy ROM.
The Only Things That I Didn't Like Was The Themed Market, Also It May Just Be Me But My Battery Drained Pretty Quickly On This ROM Which I Found Strange. Not Sure Why.
Other Than That, Great And Snappy ROM. I Look Forward To Seeing What You Cook Up Next For This ROM
I am working on a Theme port atm so that is why I have been so slow for an update. You should see this Theme this weekend as long as I can get the original Themer to reply with a go ahead permission. I am also working on some new updates to this Rom so hopefully if all goes well you should see an update to it as well.

I have been getting great battery life, but I don't know what apps you are using so I can't diagnose what the problem is. I will work on fixing the market theme this weekend before my next update. I appreciate your comments, it only makes me better at this!

MIUI Rom

Would you guys be interested in a MIUI rom?
I've been playing around with porting one. I'm a newb but, I want to see how many people are interested in a MIUI rom
It has crazy good UI, and a great theme engine. It's a little less feature rich compared to CM7, but it's got the looks
I would love the launcher part (not having a separate app draw. On a phone MIUI is my favourite - the Maddog's lates CM7 has such great tablet functionality - it would be great if they were combined!
MIUI-whites and a MIUI-flow on the Nook? I'd def. wanna check that out but only if it were tablet-friendly.
If it was tablet friendly, HELL YES.
i would use it for a while test it out if you need help with anything contact jamezelle he ports for thunderbolt fascinate and droid and he could probably give you some tips
yep
id love it
I am interested
i would be interested
So....... where's the download link already?!!!!!

Battery Bar
Well Im currently on Fasty III v1.2 KJ3... If you could explain to me how to do it I would like to learn so I can do it in other ROMs. Thanks!
I am away from my computer so this might not be as highly accurate...
Get the apk manager.zip tool (google it)
Then dowbload the latest miui and other rom you want it on
Open both system/framework/framework-res.apk's using apk manager.
Then find any xml or.png related to the miui battery in the miui framework
Copy them all
Then paste them in the respectable folders in the other roms framework folder.
Then recompile the other roms framework.
Then you should have a working framework with the miui battery icon
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
Problem is I have no idea what files are related to what files.
When you open up the framework you can tell they usually have stat_battery in their name
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
I found two files stat_sys_battery.xml and stat_sys_battery_charge.xml and thats it in the MIUI's res/drawable folder.
I have wanted to try to implement that for a long time...just don't have the smali/xml smarts. Hopefully after Dags crew enjoy the exclusivity for while they would be willing to share
When I get the time I'll look into it, even though I hate trying to theme Fasty I'll see if I can implement something like that to Fasty...No promises though, I haven't seen how MIUI is set up.
I thought a battery mod for a I897 ROM wouldnt matter as long as its gingerbread and not MIUI/CM7. I thought the file system is pretty much the same for every I897 ROM. I have been digging and i have found a miui site that has several colors you can dl and the file is the SystemUI.apk. I can post a link later so u can look at the file system and files.
EDIT: HERE is the link that I found that has a DL of different colors of the bar for MIUI
HERE is a link to a thread where its being implemented into CM7. Look at post #17
Sorry not trying to put a damper on things but there's more involved than just copying xmls and PNGs over. Plus... Obssession has color change options in settings. Not just a CWM update that replaces the whole SystemUI. You can change to your favorite colors at any time.

see thats the thing , this one is part of many mods , its not as simple as cutting one tiny part out , not to mention the ability to put it on and needs ab apk ..
I have many mods in my i9000 rom Im sure ppl coudl look into and port to i897 ,
theres a reason I havent done so myself yet , the kernel without source makes imo the i897 rom sub par i9000 roms by a long shot , but I guess that opinion is not shared , once a real kenrel comes out pm me if I miss it, il make an unthemed base for i897 rom with pleasure

I understand. I too am running an i9000 base... I was just saying that for my knowledge, its a bit above me. I just finally figured out this build how to add the locks on my own...probably, at least for me, my biggest achievement, and with my knowledge, was able to help Johnson get them implemented into his ROM..a captivate base.
I have mad respect for what you do. And hopefully someday I can learn to get that battery bar up there. I ain't in no hurry though. I am still basking in the light of my little achievement
Much admiration..

But just today is when I realized he was talking about the battery bar, not the battery icon. The bar is quite over my head, I've been looking into it for about an hour now and I am probably just going to give up.
Have this on my Windows Mobile phones, Dash and Wing. Flashed Juggernaut Rom and damn, blast from the past. Would be better I think as a zip file or apk file so we could install on any rom. Would love this on my SGS2.

Think I figured out my issue with sense 3.6

It's themeing! Honestly I like the holo look of ics. I also like the textured look of sense. And it seems while sense 4 is just as intrusive as previous versions, they redid the graphics and tweaked in ics features to blend quite well with the holo elements in tact. However this isn't the case with 3.6. 3.6 really is just a tweaked 3.5 designed to work with ics. Problem is there are 2 themes present here. A lot of menus your seeing holo elements and but you still have textured borders of old sense everywhere in the ui. The result is a ui with a loss of identity. You can install custom skins that help but they still leave a lot of textured sense borders that can't be removed as the skins only go so deep.
I will say overall I like sense and buying an HTC phone I didn't expect AOSP. I think if they couldn't give us 4 than 3.6 should of at least been designed better to blend in with holo elements. And one thing I don't get about HTC is they always remove the overscroll effect. I'm going to root my phone soon and first order or business will be fixing the themeing. I dunno if ill put a custom Rom on yet just want more theming control to start. Imo I don't want a pure senseless Rom as I do like sense

Are you going to make a theme?
I dunno, it's one thing to root and tweak with the graphics, it's another to make a cwm theme. I'm not a developer... Yet

Nice wording man, I like the "yet" part... It's definitely an interesting community! Ever since I joined, I've installed Ubuntu on my Core i7 Dell laptop along with Android 4.0.1 on VirtualBox, I really hope to get involved in the dev community myself in the future.
Yeah I've been pressed for time but I've been wanting to learn how to develop for my HTC Flyer tablet and my Vivid. With the Flyer its creating a better stock launcher that interest me as with it being on honeycomb and support being cut off from htc, there aren't a whole lot of choices. For this phone its cleaning up the stock rom and allowing ics and Sense 3.6 to coexist in perfect harmony. No promises on anything yet

I don't consider my self a dev either...yet
But I do have some experience with the development on the Samsung infuse (which you can tell by my Sig)
I've been trying to mess with the stock rom for a while now with no luck...I just can't seem to get any apktool to work with stock ics of this device, and after a little research it seems sense 3.6 is the problem, but I have yet to find a solution
I've asked a few times for help on decompiling for the vivid but have gotten no response...I'm not trying to discourage you all i wanna get across is that if you have any success...please share the knowledge with me

Yeah htc makes someone nice devices but they aren't developer devices for sure. I'll let you know once I get involved in it what I can do might be why most flash the sense removed roms as its all or none.
Yeah overall I like sense 3.6 just hate the theme clashing. Good example is hitting the search button. All of a sudden your not using sense 3.6 anymore, your now using aosp android! I think I remember reading Google required a certain percentage of holo elements for market access, and I think htc kept that in mind in redesigning sense from the ground up with the one series. But when it came time to upgrade what they had they just basically ported 3.5 over and added a few ics features into the launcher. HTC claims that 4.0 is too different from 3.5 and earlier and previous users need familiarity but Imo if you've played with a one x its all pretty familiar. 3.6 overall was a bad call

My one major gripe with Sense is the lack of changing things. I'd like to be able to (without using LauncherPro) tell it "I want 5 columns, and 6 rows of icons, on top of the 5 at the bottom. (so a total of 7 rows of icons, 5 columns)"
It WORKS well, just see some photo's I've posted in recent days.

I hear ya, but thats all stock launchers including the google one. Sense 3.6 has some of the best customization for stock I've seen, but it still pales in comparison to say ADW EX, Go Launcher, or Apex.
alright...for the longest time ive been trying to use apktool with the "att stock ics for chefs or whatever" never had luck...today i decided to try apktool with an old download of 0.9 holics rom, to my surprise apktool works with it-i was able to install framework, decompile, recompile...it all worked!
so im wondering if maybe the stock ics wasnt properly deodexed, or maybe with holics rom something special was done? when i get the time im gonna try contacting bananacakes and see if maybe he can help me set up a stock base, or possibly use a stock base he may have laying around...ive tried making my own stock rom in the past from the RUU but got the same errors as the att stock rom for chefs...
