Hi!
I have questions about more ROMs. I tested the last time nearly every ICS-ROM. I hope that someone can help me....GALAXY S I9000
-CM9: Why there aren`t some options that in other ROMs are still exist for example AOKP? For example the option to change the lockscreen is not there yet
-AOKP: Every time i go to the option to edit the Lockscreen i get a FC of Rom-Control......why?
-From were i can find the Rom-Control.apk? Can i install it on every AOKP-Rom?
Thank you for your help!
I can't answer CM9 queries I haven't been on it yet, that is more of a feature request that you need to take up with them..
AOKP: What do you mean edit the lockscreen? Do you mean the wallpaper? That is now fixed, download the latest from my sig below.
Rom control should already be on every AOKP rom, so you shouldn't have to install it.
However if you still want it, it's located at /system/app
Hi Talon,
thank you for your answer.
I mean generell the option "Locksreen"....When i want to enter this option on the AOKP-build31 i get an FC from Rom-Control....
I really don`t understand the thing with CM9. I love Cyanogenmod but i want more customizable options that are included in AOKP
I just re-read the lockscreen thing for CM9. Are you sure it isn't there settings/security/screen lock
I think you need to re-flash AOKP possibly with wipe. But use titanium backup (seems to be more through sometimes) or via manage apps, find rom control and clear data. Hopefully that works otherwise you will possibly have to reflash.
Im using the lockscreen options on my phone right now, so it must just be your phone.

Is it possible, after rooting, to get the stock Android unlockscreen?

Just install "Widgetlocker" from market
You can customize it to look exact like stock lockscreen or with moer features
I use "Goto lockscreen" though

Is there any lag using widgetlocker? been tempted before but thought it might create some lag.
Fairly sure soon there will be a .zip file that will be available for the stock lockscreen or when we get an AOSP ROM the stock lockscreen will be included.

Haven't experienced any lag with DHD using widgetlocker...
but the alternative, would be to remove the LG lockscreen on a rooted phone and push stock lockscreen instead... should be possible already now, but haven't tried it... Guess I'll just wait a few days for custom ROM instead
Widgetlocker or GOTO lockscreen is the easiest alternative right now
So, Im throwing together a rom from different sources (Nik's, Runnydroid, ARHD & CM7) to make a rom that is what i call AOSP (android open sense )
it will look like AOSP, but it will have sense core. why? because i want as AOSP as possible with a working camera. now that aside, I want to have a script running after the install finishes that makes certain settings on app's, system settings and also puts certain widgets and icons on home screens to have it as best setup as possible.
can this be done? and if yes, how?
any link to tutorial or so ...

I was thinking of the same thing and I guess it's doable after all its linux and when we have setup script for ubuntu we can certainly make it for android. However I am not a developer so will not be able to help much. I just hope some of linux or android geek might give attention to it and make it happen. Basically we need a command like apt-get in ubuntu for downloading it straight from market and some command to install from sd card. I will try myself but as said I have just little knowledge in linux (I am a mainframe developer) so i will not be of much help.
Just wait and Watch and hope for the best.

Exactly, and there isn't one like this, thats why i am making it
It's almost finished though, but i really need to be able to change some of the default settings otherwise stuff won't work (for example, in settings/connect to PC, ask me should be off, otherwise usb mount does not work ...)
I also need to take some stuff out (for example, after setting 'ask me' to off by default i wanna remove the 'connect to pc' completely from the settings menu)
so far i'm keeping only sense dialer/sms,sense ereader (because its a good one), sense music player (if removed it's impossible to set a mp3 as ringtone), sense calendar, sense camera, sense browser & sense radio. All other sense stuff and widgets are removed
it will have AOSP keyboard, mail, lockscreen, gallery & deskclock and some powerapps (like titanium backup, ES file explorer etc..) and also a lot of google bloat removed
The rom will be pretty light compatred to Stock Sense and you will be able to use any launcher etc.. you want. I will include a third party sense clock/weather widget, because there is nothing better
I'm still in doubt about wether to keep or toss the sense lockscreen ...
the sense lockscreen looks better than the default one but will be useless, go with the default android one.
btw what base are you using for this ? sense 3.5 ? and why not keep the gallery app ?

base is indeed 3.5 (Nik rom), good idea about the gallery, i'm gonna keep that (handy for going from in-cam to gallery)

Ok thought I would take the rubbish out of the dev thread.
So far I have done this:
Flashed JVT from start with custom .PIT file. Speeds up Ice Cream sandwich, I've tested this and it works great. Visually no lag and it works on top of any lag fix you do after wards.
[HOW TO]

So here it is:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/43088692/12MB_Gain_NAND_Symlinked_Modem.bin.zip
Download and instructions - Everything you need is in that zip (its not a CWM zip by the way) load it to your PC and unzip. Follow the PDF print outs I have included and also as an acknowledgement to ykkfive's hard work (this references directly back to coolya's work from XDA https://github.com/cmsgs/utilities/tree/master/pit-stuff)

1. You can do this by taking a CWM Nandroid backup of your current setup.
2. Flash back to stock using Odin and the files I have provided in my drop box zip file.
3. I have added modem.bin file, script manager apk, buszybox apk and superuser apk for everyone should they wish to test the script and modem on the base JVT setup that they just flashed.
4. When it works correctly boot into recovery and then restore your CWM Nandroid backup and viola your done
5. Boot up - NB: You will notice you have no reception until you run the script in script manager.
You set on moot the script to run and in ICS it seems to work better than on JVT (where I had to initiate the script even after checking the onboot function).

Nova Launcher! Yeeeew finally a replacement. ****s on the standard launcher, can make GOSMS my sms app in the dock setup just how I always wanted it. Go Launcher Ex fails big time on ICS so don't bother installing it (even though I love it) the animations on GO Launcher cause big time crashing hahaha test for ya self for LOLs
You will ditch the stock launcher in an instant once your on this. It allows resizing of widgets and app draw also has widget draw like standard launcher.

Ice cream sandwich clock download from market. It looks like the clock in the pictured icon of the clock....not the gay looking analog clock that comes with it that I tried for ages to work out how to change the skin when you can't.
Haven't got a link for it atm but its in the Market so just download from there.
Feel free to post up anything additional that would be helpful

Thank you for sharing this, i cant understand why google decided to build a dialer without t9 index.
since i got t9 dialer i never keep the numbers in my head anymore!

Whats the difference? I am running a tweaked version of MyUI ICS ROM on my Phone and freakin rocks!
The MyUI version of the ICS ROM based off OneCosmic's RC 2.11.
- List of Mods. 1% increments on the battery using the similar style to Perka's MOD of Elin ROM ICS. Uses the ICS font for numerals upto 100 and has blue lightning bolt whilst charging.
- Uses Nova Launcher and Glitch Kernel but with the nice white standard Google boot image and tweaked Boot animation as well.
-Center Date in notification dropdowm menu

anyway to stop vibration on lockscren?
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA Premium App
I think there is, u need to search in settings of the phone.
Thanks alot, Ive been looking for swype and a good and proper replacement launcher!
swype thread link broken?
didnt find a way to disable vibration on lock screen. if you disable haptic feedback in settings, it still vibrates.
furthermore, the vibration on haptic feedback is very high and not configureable.. thats annoying. disabled it, using now a keyboard with custom vibration length (htc_ime mod, yeah - still running under ics)

That one doesn't work after i tested it. The look of it is nice but the apk is made for a much bigger phone. It stretches too wide for the screen lol.
I went back to FlexT9 keyboard. By far the best swype out there that I have ever used. I keep deviating but I keep returning back to that old faithful hahaha. The issue with ICS is that it won't let you over ride the standard ICS keyboard to use anything other than native. So you need to freeze the keyboard apps with Titanium Backup. Then install the keyboard of your choice...in my case FlexT9. then I go and remove the apks from system/app like LatinIME and any associations with the standard keyboard, dictionary etc and put them in a folder on my SD card for "just-in-case"....cause that Justin bloke has saved me on many occasions lol.
I managed to use SwiftKey X without any problem - I do not need to freeze the stock ics keyboard apps.
i guess u knw wt i have done ..
You've found my very very very old thread that I started when ICS only first came to SGS...hahah
Hello,
Sorry if I'm not supposed to make a new thread, but I didn't know where I should ask a question.
I just clean installed CM10.1 RC2 on my captivate because my phone was getting really buggy. Everything works great and smoothly again, but I can't seem to find how to change the number of rows on my homescreen anymore. I thought it used to be under Settings --> Launcher --> Homescreen, but I don't see any options for changing number of grids anywhere. Did they remove this from RC2, or did they move the location of these settings? Or is it possible the settings didn't make it on my phone when I flashed for some reason?
I was previously on RC1, so I'm not sure what they updated in RC2. Please help me if you can. Thank you very much.

You need a 3rd party launcher, like Nova.
Hello!
I am getting a little into flashing my N7000 and so far I have travelled from rooting, to upgrading to the latest official Note ROM that was released in another country than mine, to SuperNExus to most recently Slim Bean
I am missing a couple of the original apps from the stock ROM (latest one I used was "XXLSZ_Stock_deodexed_rooted_eybee1970")
Apparently, just copying them out from the ZIP file and trying to install them isn't the right way to do.
Among others, I need
* S Note
* The app/function that knows when I plug in my headset and it shows that whole new page
* Dialer
* Keyboard with the digits on top
* Clock / Alarm clock
* S Planner Calendar
Most important is that I want to learn more and understand the main problem.
So copying wasn't the right way.
I have a feeling (based on fragments that I read here and there) that flashing might be the right way, file-permissions and stuff.
If I am on the right track - is there any software/tool that creates a flashable file for me? I have been rooting around inside the ZIP files and I understand some of the ideas, the update-script and so. But trying to make one own from scratch is too hard right now.
Another problem I had once, was the pointer image. Previously, it was a nice little circle. Then at some point (maybe the Nexus ROM) it became a classical window-arrow. I managed to understand how to open an APK, switch out the PNG file and so on. But since I didn't know how to flash in just that APK, I had to flash in the whole ROM from scratch.
I assume that such tool I am asking about previously would have been the solution.
Beside that, I would like to know if anyone knows if there is an original-app-pack for Note already. I need to know the answer for above as well though
Thanks in advance!
[Q] Need some information about the lockscreen in SlimBean/SuperNexus ROM
I installed SuperNexus ROM and after that Slim Bean.
They both had that nice lock screen where you could swipe to bring forth the camera.
What is this lock screen called? I need that so that I can search for info about it.
Among the questions I have now are
* If I change to pattern instead of slide, I loose the ability to have shortcuts. Is there any other way to have shortcuts and pattern?
* When I swipe to the left, I see a + and I can add widgets. However, I can only add one widget and no ability to rescale the widget or anything. Is there a way to add more widgets per page or modifying the widget that is there already, like rescaling it?
Thanks!
The Samsung apps like Snote and Splanner will not work on the non-touchwiz custom roms like supernexus or slimbean. So if you want those apps you will have to flash a TW (touchwiz based) ROM like the alliance ROM. The other features like pagebuddy and the keyboard with digits on top will also be available only in the TW ROMs (you can search apps for the keyboard and pagebuddy and you may find them)
---------- Post added at 06:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:29 PM ----------
The lockscreen you are talking about is the 4.2 lock screen with lock screen shortcuts. It is a feature of Android 4.2 only. And no u do not have an option for shortcuts on the pattern lock or any of the other secure ways. But you may add a widget for the app on the lock screen clicking on the '+' symbol. And i had read about adding multiple widgets on one page of the lock screen but didn't come across with anything useful then. You can give it a try now.

What does it mean, "touchwiz based ROM". I have seen other terms, "X"-based ROM (maybe CM-based or other terms).
Is touchwiz so much more than just a launcher?

Thank you - this led me to the right direction. Sometimes you just don't know what is a native Android feature and what is a custom one
Well TW ROMs are touchwiz based ROMs. If you look out for the ROMs repository for the note, you'll notice the categories are TW based JB ROM etc. When u see the name of a rom, if there is [TW] written before it's name, it is a touchwiz based ROM. And touchwiz is not just a launcher. Touchwiz is the samsung customised version of Android like the sense UI by htc.

Okay, I understand better now.
I am assuming that you are a Note user. Can you give me your opinion on the difference, if there are any, between a TW based, or others, beside compatibility of a selection of apps and so. Is there any real, big, important difference?
And one more thing. When the term "custom ROM" is used, is that what is meant by it? A custom ROM is per automatic not the original TW in the Galaxy Note case? Or does it mean something else?
The difference between a TW ROM and a non TW ROM like a CM based ROM is in the features. TW ROMs use the stock Samsung created touchwiz roms as a base and build up on that. So u can find the stock apps and everything else with some customisations. Whereas the CM based ROMs are built upon the CyanogenMod which is in many ways similar to the original Android os available on the Google nexus. A custom ROM is a customised ROM developed by a developer. The other type of ROM is the stock ROM which you get preinstalled on your note. So all the ROMs you'll get on xda are custom ROMs developed by certain developer.
