[ROM][WIP] Meizu M9 v0.1.0 | Updated 1/15/11

This is a port of Meizu M9 for the HTC Droid Incredible.
This is very much a work in progress and should not be your primary ROM. This was not easy to port since it's a non-HTC device but I got a decent amount of functionality working in just a few short hours.
What works:
- It boots
- Hardware buttons and lights
- 3G
- Network Location
- Orientation
- Other unimportant things
What doesn't work (or work properly):
- Launcher isn't scaled properly (I am pretty sure I know how to fix this, I'd rather fix other things first)
- Phone FC's (it will dial and connect the call but the FC prevents the keypad from showing up)
- WiFi
- Bluetooth
- Camera
- GPS
- Probably more
Anyway, here it is for your testing pleasure:

Your help in getting this ROM working properly is appreciated. If you are able to fix something, post it here and I'll get it added to the ROM.

Yea. I'm going to try to get everything working. Until the M9 is rooted we wont have a proper system dump so I wont have to release a new rom every week like with miui. Their system updates are encrypted.
I also just realized the keyboard doesn't work. Ill fix it tomorrow. You can either install a new keyboard with adb or wait for a new build.
Sorry about that. So much wasn't working that it slipped through in my attempt to share my progress.

Not too sure. I got to this point in about 3 hours while doing some other stuff. The Evo guys are also working on porting this so info sharing will help this along. I've already shared with them how to get 3G working and phone in the same state as the Inc. Now we just have to work on the FC issues which as far as I can tell is all hardware related. If we can fix Bluetooth I am 99% confident the phone will just start working.

Pretty damn sexy. Excellent!

The keyboard issue has been fixed and I reuploaded it. Same link.

I flashed this rom but I got a black screen is it because they're is no bootup screen and that I should just wait a while til it loads?
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App

I flashed it... Had issues setting up the google acct. Had to reboot and I skipped the acct setup. Then it magically worked. most things work except the things listed. The music app doesn't detect my music, don't know if that is universal though.

[Amazing App] Wave Launcher (Quick App Launcher)

Just wanted to give you guys a heads up on this app!. Costs $.99 cents now and adds the Palm Pre like wave bar/quick app launcher!
It doesn't replace your current launcher and could be accessed from any app! Just swipe from the bottom of your screen to the middle and thats it! Its really nice
(Thanks to Android Central for writing on it).

He didn't post the actual apk. And as far as I remember, it's not against forum rules to say a paid app is worth buying, is it?

This looks pretty amazing. I will give it a try.
Edit: I bought it and I have to say 'money very well spent'. It's looks and feels gorgeous.

Ugly? How is it ugly lol.

For those of you that HAVEN'T bought it yet- it's today's free app at the Amazon App store.

This is one of those apps that once you've had it you can't go without it. I really like the new app drawer plug-in which brings up your whole app drawer over any currently running application.

Everytime I try to buy it via Bill My Sprint account, it gives me an error. And this was going to be the 15th app I buy via Bill My Sprint account.

This app is so great! I've been using it for quite a while now and it is not ugly. Don't know what this person was talkin about. Very customizable

great app! got if for free from amazon - now just waiting for them to catch up to the current version in the android market

I use it together with swypepad
One launcher from each direction of the screen edges and dock4droid on top or bottom of screen
Think sypepad might be the winner even if its not shapped like a "wave"

Cool. Nice apps!

Great recommendation! Ever since I became more than just a lurker on this board my wallet has gotten much lighter. Thank you for that
Edit: Its making tasker act crazy so I got a refund. Anyone else experience this?

I think Swipepad does the same, but better and looks way better.

[Q] App to keep track of Facebook

What is the best app for keeping up with my Facebook friends updates?
The widget from the official Facebook app doesnt appear to show every update.

Try Launcher pro plus widget for Facebook
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App

I got the lasted clockwork and the latest Superclean and my stock Facebook app works like a charm. I get real time notifications (although the settings only offer every 30 min or more).

-1 for launcher pro plus widget. Its very limited. I use the official Facebook for android app for my notifications (which only work for me with the new ec01 rom) and I use seesmic if I want to copy a status or delete a post I made. I still use the lpp widget for news feed, but it takes a while to load. Just my 2 cents.
Edit- so seesmic also offers a widget that seems to update lather quickly and displays all feeds.

There's an ad supported version and a paid version. I personally bought the paid version simply because this is, by far, the best Facebook app I've ever used. The developer is constantly updating and it gets better everyday. I love the gmail notification option instead of the periodic polling one. The UI is sharp and the performance is very smooth. Barely any lag at all, although sometimes that depends on your data connection. All in all, I highly recommend this app.

I don't get the fuss about miui. They all look too similar for me, almost like a crippled, locked down product made by a company that I don't buy from.
Just saying.

Uuh, you can do whatever you want with it.. it's still Android. Don't like the launcher? Install a new one. Done.

Aye lass. Each to thine own

I personally love MIUI - best of what iOS should've been but... its ANDROID!
I love the music player, browser, widgets, and over all customization you get with it.
Not to mention I like the general layout and options - you can tweak just about everything in it.
I like the lockscreens - you get a ton of different options.
Not to mention the theme the community puts out.
The only thing I don't like (at no fault to MIUI) is I take a hit in battery life.

What kernel are you using? How do you use your phone?

Chrome, chrome, chrome.....

Ordered my nexus 7 (x2) as soon as there was a button on the UK website. Now I know chrome is the default browser, so I thought sweet, I'll install it on my a500 so I can get used to it before the tab arrive's.
Omg, what a piece of rubbish, every time I change tabs from XDA to another site the page is just plain white, then back to XDA since it was already tabbed and loaded you'd assume it would still be, but no. Its plain white. Then to piss me off even more halve way though writing this post it crashed lol! What kind of a browser crashes inputting text lol. I wanted to like it, in fact I do like the interface but the bugs are just not fun!
uninstalling that crap and going with the good old opera
Anyone else having probs with it ?

You must have something wrong with your A500, because that's not the experience I get on my Xoom or Galaxy Nexus...

The plain ol' Browser will be on the Market for download. I have no idea why Chrome is the default browser.

I don't know about A500 roms but to me it sounds like a memory issue or something, its sort of "killing" tabs to save memory and then reloading them once you need them again. Maybe some background processes eating memory?

It does crash occasionly if you keep getting a white page it can clear by going back a page then trying again if not close it then task kill it after that it will be fine.
Overall I find it to be far better than std browser.

I'm a very "clean user" I have fb opera order and chaos, that's it. thinking though maybe one of the processes I have disabled, chrome uses, I disable everything I don't use, camera Calender live wp themes etc, maybe that's the issue?

It don't crash for me at all...works fine and it doesn't look bad enough to use something else

Chrome runs perfectly on my Galaxy Note without any problems with tabs and, whilst there isn't flash support, I love it because of how it easily syncs my bookmarks from my computer.

I won't be using Chrome much on my N7 much if at all just simply because of the lack of adobe flash player support. Dolphin HD seems like a much better option.

Is Chrome open source?

Chrome still needs work. Use opera, or dolphin. Both are extremely fast and a lot less buggy.
