Is in the rom including CWM with not working backup/restore or other CWM?
thanks

Great rom..its really quick and light on resources. Iam nt a huge fan of LP so i removed it and installed holo launcher instead. Works great.
2 things i noticed..
1. There is no way to change the wallpaper of the lockscreen.
2. Many of the default audio sounds are missing. Were they removed intentionally?

audio sounds hd been removed by me in simplicity. So it wil nt b in dis rom as well.

Flashed without any problems, but I´m facing network problems. My ace is S5830M, firmware WHLA1 I know it doesn´t matter since rom are compatible with every firmware, but any idea on why i cant connect to network.
Edit.
Fixed, just need to stop data pack for a moment and it´ll catch the network. After that just restart data packs.

The CWM Backup/Restore feature works. You just shouldn't restore a backup made before you install the ROM with permanent CWM. Because It will restore the CWM and it wont be permament. Otherwise if u make a backup using the new CWM U can Restore it aswell.

1. That is because the default Gallery app is removed. You can maybe use Holo Locker as it adapts to your Homescreen wallpaper.
2. Yes I removed them because they take space and are useless. I usually use Zedge for those stuff

U can empty the hostfile and del some fonts too.
Nice work, but imho, a barebone shouldnt have a launcher.
Keep up the good work!

I dwnloaded the gallery 3d app frm play shop bt i guess that is different frm d default gallery app? Although d luk and feel is pretty mch d same bt it doesnt have d option to manage lockscreen wallpaper.
I find holo locker to be snaggy. Its nt as smooth as d stock locker.
Edit
When trying to change d wallpaper of d lockscreen under display settings, i get an FC.

oh no worries...it aint that important.....thought of just reporting it here..besides i can always copy the stock gallery apk from another working rom..

Looking forward

Guys, I think I will be moving this rom over to XXLA2 baseband. I will flash PDA.tar from raj. deodex it and try to move the rom on that Baseband.
Reason: I will implement, Qeemi's 6 lockscreen in the ROM
So wait and hope it goes good

Isn't difficult to add 6 lockscreens mod.
U need to edit android.policy.jar of your firmware

is there an app which sets icons in app drawer?

i'm love testing roms so when ever i flash a new rom i have to set all apps and stack them into folders(i prefer stacking apps in folders) and this is very difficult when u have more than 400 apps.
is there any app that back'ups the previous appdrawer settings and then restore's it ?
i've read it somewhere that a app is there and it works for samsung launchers.
anyone aware of it ?

Backup data of touchwiz launcher using Titanium Backup then restore it whenever you flash a new TW based ROM.

Go backup..... Their will be an option to backup the launcher layout

[Q] Widgets, why can't the be restored?

Hello peoples,
[hope i am in the right section now?]
I love android but hate having to restore widgets over and over again (i flash a lot of different kernels and roms). Up till now i have never found a way to backup and restore the widgets in there former glory (location/size/settings). I use Titanium backup/restore but i found that only a nandroid restore really restores everything (and that is not something i can use when trying out new kernels and roms)
Am i missing something? (an app for instance that will really save position and settings of a widget? Or is it just a know shortcoming in android? I have used almost every launcher around but none of them restore widget (position/size/setting)
Can someone link me to some wisdom?
ps: i understa...alvik VM that hosts the widget position/size?

66 views so far but no response...? Anybody?

Cause no one knows even me but I believe if you copy launcher data using tb and restore it although I didn't try but let me guess that it works

I think this because of the launcher. If you use Apex for example and you make a backup via the app all the settings will be saved on to SD card. If you want to use another launcher with the same widgets you'll need to replace them since the data cant be restored from apex etc. Some apps can import settings from others but this will be said by the app it self.
Like i said, it depens on the launcher. Perhaps to ask one of the developers of the launcher for more information.

Good advice. So i guess i have been obstructing myself by changing launchers on weekly bases. :laugh:

where is the lockscreen file of a rom?and whats its name?
and the wallpapers of the rom?

[Q] How to change lockscreen shortcuts with Nova Prime launcher?

Hello guys, i have rooted my One and using the ARHD rom.
I didn't like Sense, so i've bought the Nova Prime launcher. But i can't change the lockscreen shortcuts with this launcher.
Is there any way to do this?
Thanks,
Bill

Nova does not control that lock screen. Nor does it come with it. If you got rid of sense you sit with the basic android lockscreen. There is no options to configure it I believe unless you have a Rom that has configurations for it implemented

If i get rid of Sense, i would be able to customize lockscreen shortcuts?

How does one get rid of sense on a sense ROM?
The lock screen is part of sense and I don't think you can just "customize" it. You could change which icons it displays, but that's about it.
You could, perhaps, change to an AOSP lock screen. Not via an app, there are some files you would have to change.

You have to disable nova launcher, press the home button and when it asks what you want to perform the action with, choose Sense (just once) ... Setup your icons in the dock that you want on the lockscreen and then press home again and choose Nova Launcer and always.

use ViperOne Rom and when u install it you have an option to delete sense on it then u can customise as u want the lockscreen with custom notification and shortcut

I tried this with ViperOne Rom but I couldn't find a way to add my shortcuts in the lockscreen.
Flashed again the Rom with the Sense enabled and did it like AllAboutTheCore mentioned.

have u tryed to choose on venomtweak lockscreen to disable Sense lockscreen and enable ASOP one?

You're missing the point. He wants the Sense Lockscreen so he can have shortcuts for apps but he uses Nova Launcher, so needed to set up Sense before switching over ... Changing to Viper and using AOSP Lockscreen is not going to give him what he wants.

Exactly what AllAboutTheCore said. So, i think your solution is the only one.
Tried also the AOSP lockscreen but still not what i want to do.

there is an app for that
uninstall htc launcher > reboot > install http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1874283 and set it up > reboot > profit.
also works on latest ARHD 21.0 sense 5 android 4.3 for the htc one m7 and make sure you dont use any cleaner script just uninstall the launcher using titanium backup.

Looking to try this out - but don't see what to uninstall. in TIBU i don't see HTC Launcher listed (I see lock screen 5.0, but know i need that).

It isnt any sort of public rom. It's a rom which a good old friend made for me but now he lives in a different country form mines so he cant help me with theming it.
It's using the Nova Launcher

And what exactly do you want to do? Nova launcher already has quite a few options.
