[Q] Widget Locker + Gingerbread Issue ? ?

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.

[Q] Rom suggestion with trackball wake

I've never rooted my phone but am about to receive my third nexus one because of power button failure and I don't want to do it again. I watched some Nexus One development video where they were using a machine to depress the trackball thousands of times, to simulate lifetime use and test for failure. I guess they didn't test the power button.
Any suggestions on a ROM similar to stock but that has wake on trackball press? I was looking at cyanogenmod.
It seems like there should be an app for this, but I noticed an enhancement request on Google code, I guess that ability was removed in 2.3.3.
I am currently using anyunlock to wake my phone with the volume button but am not really a fan. I don't want to adjust the volume and it replaces the lock screen.
Thanks a lot.

CM7. Like Stock but...better!

CyanogenMod is one of the best alternative ROMs out there. All the features of stock with a ton more added (along with bugfixes).

agreed with cm7 (if you prefer the normal stock look) I personally don't like all that sense / miui stuff. now that the big bugs are fixed, i don't see why you shouldn't give it a try.

cyanogen 7 really is easily the best option. and with the newest battery increases and optimizations, its a no brainer to use cm7 over stock.

Running Kang-o-rama-1.2 . . . . It's just CM7, kind of.
Loaded it last night and seems to be the best so far. The least amount of lost MMS compared to regular CM7.

There were issues with MMS messages in the nightlies due to a merging conflict when they merged to the 2.3.4. This has been resolved for the last couple of weeks.
I'm not sure if that is what you were talking about.

How much free memory do you have on your phone?

[Q] Note wakes up after call hangup with button

Hi guys, my first post here on XDA.
The Note is my first Android phone, I previously had an iPhone. I really like the Note, but the most annoying thing about it is that it will always wake up after a call is ended.
I always call using the headset cable, and I both answer and hang up calls using the headset button. The phone is in my pocket. After hanging up the call (using the button) I happily go on doing whatever I was doing before. Meanwhile, in my pocket, my Note happily continues making pocket calls and clicks around at random!
It's driving me absolutely crazy. How can I fix it? Is there a mod I don't know about? An app? I've tried downloading another dialer (DialerEx) but no luck. It's obviously an OS "feature".
I first noticed this on stock ROM, so I tried RocketROM v21 in hope that it was fixed there. No luck.
Can someone please point me to a fix? I'm even willing to hack kernel code to get rid of this!
Thanks

Edit: I of course posted this thread in the wrong forum just to show my noobieness. Can't find a way to move it to Q&A so I leave that to the moderators... Sorry!

Moved To Q&A​
No Problem, its moved​

I'm curious about this as well. I use a headset 95% of the time and this drives me crazy. It's got to be TouchWiz I think since my AOSP phones never did/do this.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium

I just compared this to my friend's HTC (Sense UI), and he also does not have this problem. I find it problematic if this is part of the TouchWiz UI, because we don't have access to the source code for that, right? So, no way of fixing it beside throwing out TW completely?
How about the ICS TW? I'm still waiting for a stable CM9 release before jumping on the ICS bandwagon, so can someone with the ICS leak confirm that this is till an issue?
Thanks in advance!

Want to go to Gingerbread!

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.

with locked bootloader is unable to brick droid ( always is way to get back phone to life) but ppl must know what ar they doing

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...

I bricked my first droid 4 without problems with locked bootloader. do you want a link I sell it for parts?

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.

[Q] Looking for a good stable ROM for S3 mini

I have been ROM-hopping for 3-4 months and I have tried many ROMs for my i8190.
I found some I really enjoyed, some did not work well for me.
Without meaning to "compare" the ROMs or find "the best ROM ever" I am just looking for some suggestions on ROMs that I can try.
My requirements are very simple:
-OTG support
-No clock freezing
-No battery drain
What ROMs would you suggest?
Please note, I have no intention of comparing the ROMs with one another, I am just looking for suggesstions in case there is something good that I have not tested yet.
Thanks!

Thank you for your time. This was the ROM I installed last and seems to be a good option.
I have been using it for almost a week, I really like the stability, looks like a solid ROM.
I only have one issue with it (all cyanogenmod ROMs basically).
Even though I have turned the backlight of the hardware buttons off, they keep lighting at random times, I have not found what is causing that or how to fix it, can you suggest something or do I just get used to it?
