Like many others(non-rooted) Nexus one, I rely on using Widget Locker to wake my N1 because sleep/wake button on my N1 doesn't work.(stopped working around 6 months back)
Have read a couple of reviews @ market.android.com that Widget locker currently does not support Gingerbread. Now with Gingerbread update hitting anytime, I am a little concerned and need to find a "working" app to wake my N1 after Gingerbread.
Any thoughts?
If you want to switch on and off you screen, use both screen off and lock and no lock.
(Dev of WidgetLocker)
*Insert rant about Cyanogen Nightlys being unsupported by the Cyanogen team but Market commenters complaining to app devs if something doesn't work on such*
I got the Nexus S the day it came out and tested WidgetLocker 1.2.8.1 on it. If something was seriously broken I would've released a small 1.2.8.2 update that day or soon after. Everything worked fine. Since then, the Nexus S/Gingerbread have been one of my primary testing platforms for the coming (big) update. (Don't worry, I haven't forgotten my Nexus One, I've been testing on that too).
I've received a small handful of emails from people suggesting issues due to Gingerbread and/or Nightly-roms-that-aren't-supported-by-their-own-developers but none has actually been at all related to Gingerbread. Most bugs reports I get are related to settings or third-party apps and relatively easy to resolve.
Thanks for the update. Hopefully as you indicated we won't have an issue when Gingerbread is rolled out.

Trackball wake does not seem to work on stock Nexus One Gingerbread. I'm still looking into it, but wanted to let you know.
It is possible that no third-party-application, such as WidgetLocker, will be able to enable trackball wake. It may have to be done at the rom/kernel level in which case unrooted Gingerbread on the Nexus One will not be able to have trackball wake.
The volume keys DO work with Easy Wake Mode to wake the device.

Hi folks,
Apologies if this question has been asked on the Bionic forums elsewhere; I did a search and didn't find anyone with an answer.
I've been experimenting with custom ICS ROMs on my Droid Bionic, and of the four I tried, three of them leave me in a situation where my Home button doesn't work. This applies to both the capacitive key on the Bionic bezel as well as the soft key which is native to ICS in phones that don't have capacitive or hard buttons (but can be enabled for the Bionic in custom ROMs).
Let me break down what I mean by "work". When I press or long-press Home, I get the appropriate visual and and haptic feedback as expected. But nothing happens in the OS. I expect it to take me to my home screen from any app; it does not. I expect the capacitive button long-press to bring up the Recents for multi-tasking, and it doesn't. I've assigned different behaviors to the soft key in the launcher, both press and long-press, and none work. All other capacitive and soft keys work just fine, and CM10 on my Iconia A100 doesn't exhibit any home button issue.
Here are the ROMs I tried which exhibited this issue for me:
CyanogenMod 9 (CM9 20120725 build, unofficial)
AOKP (Targa 20120725 Milestone 6 build)
LiquidSmooth MR 2.6 (Jester's JMOD modification of LiquidSmooth v1.5)
Currently I'm running on LiquidSmooth v1.5 MR 1, and it works perfectly. One thing I noticed is that CM9 runs the Trebuchet launcher, and AOKP and the JMOD of LiquidSmooth both run Nova Launcher. Meanwhile, the Liquidsmooth build I'm on is running what looks like LiquidSmooth's own modified Launcher (forgive me as I betray my n00b roots). I can only assume that the launcher is the issue and that perhaps if I just ripped LiquidSmooth's launcher APK I could run/use it in any other ROM, but this is just an assumption. I'm just wondering if anyone else experienced what I did, because from the looks of it I haven't found anyone who has.
Thanks for any insight anyone can provide!
This issue with the Home Button is not Bionic specific. I have had this issue with both Bionic and OG Droid. It has more to do with the OS I believe. I know I've read about this somewhere but I don't remember where. Usually it happens when you upgrade your phone with a custom rom and for some reason it disables the home button. In my case I just reinstall said rom until it works. It's happened a few times with my OG Droid considering I would switch roms always weekly due to the unlocked bootloader. Not so much on the Bionic since it's locked. Waiting for Motorola to release the bootloader unlock for our Bionic...hurry up Motorola or Google...I know I didn't really answer your question but that's my experience.

Even though it wasn't a direct answer I definitely appreciate the insight! It's good to know what's happening out there and I now have some more context around the situation... It's weird because Liquid is really the only one that works for me. I just now tried a CM9 update just for kicks and again the Home button doesn't work. (Using Trebuchet natch.)

I know that the Bionic and the OG Droid are not the only ones who experience this dreaded dead home button issue. It exist in a lot of android phones. You could google it and get a lot of hits on different phones. I know I have the first time I experienced this issue with the OG Droid. Could have something to do with the coding in the roms you are installing and it seems to be a hit and miss. Apparently your phone is picky about which rom it wants you to install lol. Maybe a developer could chime in and explain a bit more? Or someone with a lot more knowledge?

Hope this helps
Where can I find a stock Gingerbread ROM at? When I purchased my phone it already had ICS on it, and honestly I do not like it at all. I jumped to my favorite phone mod site (XDA) and did some searching but came up empty handed. Can anyone assist me with my request? Thanks!

Sorry. There are not any GB ROMs for the D4 that will work on ICS. The GB D4 ROMs there are are not compatible with the ICS kernel. Maybe if you can describe the issues you are having with ICS we can help you with those.

Mainly just nitpicking things, but the one thing I've had an issue with ICS is the fact that I cannot link notification and ringer volumes together.
Another issue I'm having is when typing using the hardware keyboard, I'll be typing something and the cursor will
jump and start typing at the beginning. Happened just as I was typing this reply, too.

That is odd stock ICS does not have the functionality to link notification and ringer volume. You should be able to find an app on the market that will give you this functionality. Found this on another forum with a quick google search: "Get cvolume from the market. Under settings you need to check notification volume not(Use incoming call volume for notifications). Works great" aarong03 - DroidForums
There are other volume control apps out there as well that may have similar functions. Try some out and let us know!
Not sure about the cursor jumping on you. It seems like I had this problem once too and it ended up being something I was doing that was causing it but I cannot think for the life of me what it was. Some button I was hitting or something.

Thanks for the information. I have tried many volume apps that claim to link the volumes together, but do not work. I basically just want to use my hardware volume buttons as a master volume control, so when I set it with the hardware buttons, nothing is higher. or lower than that volume. I had a Samsung captivate glide on att that was running GB and the app that I used on that phone did not work on my D4 for linking volume. I tried this cvolume app and it doesn't seem to be working either, even though the option to link them is set.

I use audio manager pro. It costs about $3 but is well worth it - Play Store

There is also a free version that just doesn't allow saving of profiles.

I've been using AudioGuru for profile selection, but I would much rather be able to dynamically change the volume of notifications and ringer together from the hardware buttons instead of set profiles with defined volume levels at each.
I have not found an app yet that works on this phone/ICS that works to lock both volumes together.
Perhaps I will just have to wait until JB is officially released for our phones. But I really liked GB on my previous phone, its too bad I can't get a ROM to work from ICS to GB, considering that the phone was originally released with GB.
Another thing I don't like about ICS is the stock messaging only let's you save a maximum of 1000 messages per contact. I would prefer messages never get automatically deleted, and in ICS it cannot be disabled, you can only change the max number of kept messages.
If you attempt to downgrade the phone to official GB there is a very high risk of bricking the phone.
I'd recommend you stop trying to do this and instead try to either get used to ICS or to replace the bits you don't like with some 3rd party apps.
I'm always having that cursor problem with the keyboard. Happens whenever I open up the keyboard and immediately start typing. Wait a second or two before typing, and it's usually ok. Seems the input editor is too slow to initialize itself, so it's still trying to set the cursor to column zero by the time you start typing...

did you try yourself before suggesting?
There is no risk in downgrading to GB via SBF. No risk, because you will most certainly B R I C K your phone. So learn to live with it.
I too have some issues with ICS. The cursor jump happens to me too, and I hate it. I also have issues with BT volume control. Music is no problem, but controlling Youtube volume does not work for me. And when docked (lapdock or plain HDMI cable) volume also doesn't work. On or off, nothing in between.
But still, I think ICS runs much smoother than GB.

Yes you can (maybe) bring your phone back to life, but one thing that will definitely not happen is that Gingerbread ROM actually booting. The locked bootloader does not allow you to downgrade.
Do not even bother trying to downgrade it will waste your time and you may end up with a brick.

At least I know I am not the only one with the cursor jump issue. And yes, I notice it only happens to me when I open the keyboard and immediately start typing. I will have to start being patient and give it a few seconds before typing.
I've tried many different Volume apps, and even when locking volume settings are enabled, the volumes are not locked when I adjust it with the hardware volume rocker.
I did read that JB will be getting an official push to the D4, but they have not said when. ICS just doesn't set too well with me for some reason. Yes, it runs pretty smooth, but I don't like it's all black theme, some functionality that was left out, and the new widget being part of the app list doesn't always show new widgets immediately. I guess my biggest upset about it is that it seems rather... buggy or undeveloped. To me, GB seemed to be more developed and work the way you would come to expect an android OS to run now days, and ICS just isnt there yet. Hopefully JB will be better...

unless you borked your bootloader or had a hardware failure niko is right there is no way to hard brick your phone just by flashing roms/sbf's
as long as your bootloader is intact you are able to recover your device
All that said, there's no reason someone couldn't get a vanilla AOSP GB build working with the ICS kernel for use with safestrap. On the XDAndroid project we had a single Linux 3.5 kernel working for Froyo, GB, and ICS. It's not a slamdunk, but the amount of patching required isn't that bad.

Hi All,
I've recently purchased the HTC One and flashed it with Android Revolution for 4.2.2
There are some small issues that I don't like with the phone which are:
- Camera isn't very good
- It gets warm often (even after browsing the web > 10mins)
- Volume steps are not to my liking (coming from IOS) - too large of a gap when hearing music
I've recently discovered ElementalX which has thermal options, maybe this will fix the warm phone issues? Anyone have experience with it working well with phone temps?
I'm not sure how to fix the camera, is there a ROM/Kernel that improves it?
There is a volume step fix out which doesn't do anything to the volume but increases the steps - so I guess there isn't a fix for this yet.
In conclusion, I think I've overloaded the phone trying different kernels (I like the HTC logo option to turn on/off) and I'm thinking of starting from scratch again. I want a near stock ROM e.g. Android Revolution - or should I just put stock on there (will root access still work on a stock rom if I've installed SuperUser ?)
Does ElementalX work on any ROM with 4.2.2?
What's the best ROM + Kernel for the things I want? Should I go back to stock + ElementalX? Will that work?
Hope someone can help, thanks!!

There are several Volume Step Mods in the Themes / Apps Section.
My personal Setup is ViperRom 2.1 with Elemental 3.4 Kernel but my Battery get on 42 Degrees so its not a heavy Problem when u can live with the temps
The Cam is a 4Ultrapixel so u dont get more then 4MP but u get 300% more Light on Night Shots...
If you want a rom like Android Revolution, why not go with Android Revolution? I'm using it with ElementalX.
The thermal options will make your phone run cooler, but it will impact performance somewhat. There are mods for the volume steps.
And for the camera, it's nothing without Zoe, so I'd recommend a Sense rom if you want at least somewhat nice pictures.

I've tried the volume mod but although the number of steps increases, the volume doesn't. So it acts like you don't have a mod to change the volume but just increase the number of steps (if that makes sense)
Did you get 42 degrees with the thermal option set? Is that under heavy load?
I can always see pixels (dots) on the camera which is why I said it isn't very good, maybe it works better outdoors. Isn't ViperRom heavily customised? I'll have a look anyway.

Your signature says you're using Stock! Anyway I was really just asking if it's worth installing Android Revolution if I can still get root access with the stock rom? Is that possible? Maybe I'll stick with Android Revolution.
Is there a way to remove these Kernels that I've added (can't remember which one I got) - should I just reflash Android Revolution without wipe? I don't want to lose stuff e.g. apps/contacts/bookmarks etc.
Do the thermal options slow the phone down? It is quite annoying at the moment that the phone decides to get warm whenever I start to use it, to do anything!
Thanks

ARHD contains a lot of optimizations, as mentioned in the thread. Reflashing a rom will also re-install the kernel (if it's included in the rom .zip). Seeing as you have root access, you can easily back up your apps using Titanium Backup, and you can sync the contacts + bookmarks with your Google account so they'll be automatically re-added. But as you're already on ARHD, it probably can't hurt to "dirty flash". Just make sure to make a backup in case anything goes south.
And you're right about my sig, I'll edit it now

ViperRom based on Stock Sense Rom with a bunch of Tweaks
and the 42 degrees are under heavy load like high performance games e.t.c.

and the camera has greater pixels for more light thats the 300% light extra
Installed the new update to ARHD + ElementalX with thermal set to cool. It does seem to have cooled down slightly which is good! It's a bit early to tell if it really is cooling it down though.
The only issue I have now is that "Keep" keeps closing unexpectedly. I have disabled it for now. Anyone know why Keep keeps crashing and how to fix it?

Yea I gave GPE a go today and almost immediately missed sense, Nothing wrong with it, infact it looks great and performed well, I just missed sense.
HTC have done a great job this time round.
However I've got my eye on Paul's Modaco switch rom, which looks to tick all the boxes, only problem i can foresee is the inability to use custom rom's for the switch, I'm not a great fan of stock sense, I like colours and mods too much
Each to their own.
Thanks for the suggestions guys. I'm gonna stick with ARHD + ElementalX for now
I don't want to move away from sense otherwise I could have got a nexus 4 instead, and I like blinkfeed.
I tried a vid today and the phone didn't warm up that much,!! Maybe it's also because I used airplane mode and battery saver at the same time too.
Now I just gotta fix my other problems like find a better video player than vlc which seems to have some slight sync issues. Try to get my klipsch headphones to work better I.e. button controls and get this volume step issue sorted! Any suggestions for any of these?
Maximus HD 12.1.0 FTW
So far my favorite Rom. JB 4.3 with sense. Best of both worlds! Also has 4.1.2 speaker volume & can add CRT-off animation

Thanks I'm using some headphones controller which works ok. Sometimes I have to double tap a million times before it works tho which is quite annoying. Setting speed to slower or faster doesn't help.
Using bsplayer for vids seems good no sync problems. So many roms to choose from! I'll stick with ARHD until 4.3 officially is supported by apps and released. This phone is slowly getting better thanks for your help all.
Another question... When I send a SMS and select a contact they appear more than once because its looking at the phone and SIM card at the same time. Is there a way to only look at the phone so I don't see duplicates?
Hey,
So my dad isnt exactly satisfied with the custom ROM I flashed on his device, he needs to wait about 4 - 5 seconds (!) when theres an incoming call for the screen to turn on. The ringtone will keep on going off during that few seconds, but the screen will be black.
So I tested it on my Nexus 4, and no such issue has been spotted by me. Although, on his device, no matter how many times I tried, the issue was never gone and I had to wait a couple of seconds for the screen to turn on so I could see who's calling.
I'm not sure whether it is a kitkat issue or not, I tried 2 different roms, first BeanStalk, and now CyanFox, both had the same issue.
I also tried to flash CM10.1, but the keyboard kept on crashing after a fresh flash, wipes didnt help (maybe someone could give me a hand here?).
Another question is, where can I find some good call recording app? the ones from the play store aren't good, they only record one side of the call, never both
tl;dr:
is there some setting that I should change for the screen to turn on quicker when theres an incoming call on kitkat?
what to do if I want to downgrade from kitkat to jellybean?
is there some GOOD call recorder app around?
thank you

I also tried to flash CM10.1, but the keyboard kept on crashing after a fresh flash, wipes didnt help (maybe someone could give me a hand here?).
Another question is, where can I find some good call recording app? the ones from the play store aren't good, they only record one side of the call, never both
tl;dr:
is there some setting that I should change for the screen to turn on quicker when theres an incoming call on kitkat?
what to do if I want to downgrade from kitkat to jellybean?
is there some GOOD call recorder app around?
thank you

If you still on cm10.1 then download keyboard from market and you are good to go Also stock 4.1.2 has this lag issue when incoming call its pretty annoying really

hey, thanks for your reply
actually no, STOCK 4.1.2 didnt have this issue, it started to show when I flashed 4.4.2 on it, is there some sort of fix for this or do I have to downgrade to JB? I'd rather stick to KK as I prefer it more.
on the other hand my dad hated google hangouts and he wants the stock messaging app back, I guess I can only go with CM
also I cant install a keyboard from the market, because I cant even log in to my google account, I cant get through the setup without a few things crashing over and over again, every second or so. the keyboard doesnt even show up
delete the latinIme.apk from the zip file you are trying to flash and substitute it with one from the other roms you tried flashing.
I know how to control the delay with which the ringer starts but not screen :s
These commands I think only help when call ends but it doesn't hurt to try, add them (or check the values if already present)
to build.prop in zipfile before you flash it
Code:
ro.lge.proximity.delay=5
mot.proximity.delay=5
I am on kitkat right now and have no lag issue...have you tried changing kernel?

I flashed Nameless ROM and surprisingly the lag issue is gone, and due to stripped gapps I flashed, I got the old messaging app back, which is quite the perfect combo, now the only thing I am missing is a good call recording app, is there a chance you can suggest one to me?
thanks again!

well I tried it out, the rom is nice and all, but my phone is extremely slow, the lag issue with phone calls is back, sometimes turning the screen off is impossible, or takes up to 2 minutes (!). turning it back on isnt much better either, I dont know what the problem is, the same thing happened on the BeanStalk ROM so I assume it isnt a software issue, but a hardware one, do you have any ideas what could be the problem and how can I solve it?
I want to tell you my experience about custom roms.
I don't know if you tried this combo: CM11 + kicos kernel (modified iodak's kernel) + minimal PA gapps
I works for me very well.

yeah, but shouldnt all the 4.4.2 ROMs be quite snappy? doesn't kitkat reduce the hardware requirements? why would JB work fine (or so I think, I'll go back to stock in a few mins and see) and KK be laggy as hell?
I've got a theory, I'm not a hardware guy and I dont know if I'm right or not, but:
could be that one of the cores is damaged and the system tries to switch some tasks to the damaged core (if android handles different cores the way I think) and that core doesnt really work the way it should, causing the entire system to work like a granny?

This is probably some wake/lock problem with software. Also on my o2x i've noticed strange lag when i press the power key it has lag until the screen comes on buttons below the screen light and after a couple of seconds the screen. It has 4.3 CM rom there if your father is using this phone i would suggest you some stock based rom with custom kernel. They should not have problems like these.

That still the best sollution for him - optimized kernel with stable ROM. He probably isn't techno freak?

could be, however, it isnt only for the power button, when the screen is off and a call is coming, it needs a few seconds for the screen to turn on, after the call is done, the system is all choppy and laggy. Turning the screen off after that is also nearly impossible, due to power button malfunction. I went back to stock for now and I'll see if the lag is gone, if it isnt, then its probably a hardware issue.
edit:
yeah, I'm on stock 4.1.2 and the issue isnt gone.
crap.
sounds like a problem in the timing the processor uses for scaling frequencies...
hav no idea what could be causing it unless you have some kernel tweak app and set wrong values
Have you tried clean flashing the Roms you installed? Have you Factory-Reset, Cleared cache, cleared Dalvik cache, and maybe did a system partition format before flashing?
