Yet Another Stock ROM.
Version 1.1
Over The Air. (LEAKED)
Version 1.2
Welcome. This ROM is based off the stock ROM that came with the Incredible. It's very similar to various other stock ROMs with a few tweaks and things left in. My aim with this ROM was to clean up the stock ROM, leaving in some useful apps and provide a good base for themers and modders.
Current YASR Users: see latest patches at the bottom for bug fixes.
ROM Information:
Based on HTC stock ROM with most HTC apps removed. See below for app information.
The entire ROM is deodexed. This will allow the framework files to be modifed or replaced for themes.
The HTC lockscreen has been removed. The default 2.1 lockscreen is enabled.
The lockscreen can now be unlocked by using the d-pad click (NOT AWOKEN, you still must use power to wake the screen). This replaces the unlock via menu button.
The kernel is the default stock kernel with no modifications other than to enable root. I suggest using the very awesome Hydra kernels if you would like a different one.
The default wireless driver is installed (No 802.11n). (Again, see Hydra)
App Information:
LauncherPro is included. (Due the breakneck speed of the dev on LP, be sure to update this)
Superuser.apk and wireless tether are installed by default.
Most HTC apps have been removed with the exception of the following: Mail, Calendar, MMS, VVM, Photos, Browser, Camera, Calculator, Contacts and Phone.
All Exchange services (EAS) are left in. HTC has by far the best implementation for EAS and it is included for those who use it.
Facebook for HTC Sense and Backup Assistant are left for those that use them. If you want to use Facebook for HTC Sense to sync your contacts, you MUST download Facebook from the Market and sign in using the application before you set it up in Accounts.
YouTube has been updated to the EVO version.
Due to default lockscreen, the vanilla 2.1 clock is included instead of HTC's Clock.
Current Bugs/Known Issues
USB plugged-in behavior cannot be changed. Uncheck "Ask Me" under Settings > Connect to PC. Unplug/replug the USB. Use the notification bar to change the mode. I'm STILL looking into this issue.
Fixed: Phone options menu (holding power) has incorrect names and icons for the Silent and Vibrate options. The options still function correctly, however.
johnnybueno has created a new Vanilla 2.1 theme for this ROM. It is currently in alpha, but it already works very well. Check it out in this post.
As always, I'm in no way responsible for any damage, direct or indirect caused by this ROM, into perpetuity for ever and ever.
Enjoy!

LOLz, I missed that! The ironing iz delicious, yo
Gonna try me some of dis ROM, thank u.

Im not sure if its a bug, but when i plug it in to my computer and pull down the notification bar its not giving the open to mount my sd card/phone memory for my computer to use. Even if i set the default connection type to disk drive they still wont mount. Also every reboot Launcher Pro loses its icons for phone/sms/browser and i cant remember the last one.

Everything looking good here except for facebook sync. Don't know why, but if I connect the sync (even htcFacebook sync) I get constant sync icon and it never syncs my contacts.

I was having the same issue but I think I got it to work; I deleted the account under settings>accounts&sync, then followed the instructions in the link below, then reenabled my account. After that I went into apps>people, tabbed over to 'online directories' (the world icon) and did facebook, menu, refresh. Try this and let me know how it turns out!

There's some weirdness going on here for sure. However, try going into Connect to PC under settings, setting it as disk drive and then rebooting. It should connect as a disk drive after a reboot. At least, it did for me.
I'll look into the issue however. It seems that the HTC screen pop and settings menu can't change the USB behavior once it's booted.
Uncheck "Ask Me" under Settings > Connect to PC. Then unplug the USB, plug it back in. It will now work and just change it from the notification bar. I'll see what I can do about it.

found a way!

ok so in order to mount are SD card from the phone with out rebooting and stuff just go to the market and download "USB switcher" its a FREE widget that lets you mount you sd card. work perfect and its a a work around for now. and also if you can include the stock music player that would be nice so we can have the music tab working on the clock app from sock android for now can any one supply me with the stock music app please.

Workd great baring the mounting issue but usb switcher corrected that.
Dark

pardonmyfreedom, great, great work, man. this is perfect and exactly the ROM i wanted...is there a way you can fix the Facebook sync though? I hate how it syncs forever in the background (kills my battery, too.)
otherwise everything works great, a+!

The entire ROM is deodexed? That's awesome. Im going to check this one out. Thanks!

Great work. I love the ROM. Seems virtually bug free. Anyway for the lock screen to show just the background though? Other than that it's awesome. Keep up the good work. And thanks for leaving in voicemail I actually use mine.

Check this out: Lockscreen Widgets

I haven't tested it out yet but this caught my eye... put widgets on your lockscreen like Touiteur or Mixzing... etc...
For only 99 cents!
http://androinica.com/2010/07/16/wa...ckscreen-get-widget-locker-video-app-reviews/
I've now tested it a little more... You can also add shortcuts and change the style of the lock...
It does show the stock lockscreen for a second sometimes before it loads up and sometimes hangs before unlocking... but like mixedlemon said below... its a lot better than Lockbot... and does widgets!
I'm using xtrROM3.0.3 @ 748mhz

Saw this, it looks pretty sweet. Don't have any cash on my card at the moment though, so I can't try it out.

This is awesome, it's working great.
Nice find!

I saw this app the other day. Apparently, the developer is going to be releasing a new verison within the next week which will include different slider styles as well as sliders that can have different functions. Seems pretty sweet. I just need to know if there's any lag when in use.

i actually have noticed some lag every now and then... still trying to decide whether it bothers me enought to return it or just keep it... its only a buck i guess....

I'm running KaosFroyo v23, overclocked at 710MHz.
I'm at my college right now, so all I had to record with was the webcam on my laptop, so sorry about the video quality
You can see it showing the stock lockscreen for a fraction of a second sometimes, but it has a nice fade effect to the widgets, so it isn't too obtrusive.
Certainly not as bad as lockbot was
Hope this helps

After viewing your video, I decided to give it a go. It seemed pretty fast when I used it (xtrROM 2.1/OC-710mhz), however, I really couldn't think of which widgets to put on it haha Also, it seemed to interfere with the Handcent sms popup feature. Anyway, thanks again for the video! Very in-depth...

Thanks! I'm glad I could help.
I've never really used handcent, what are the advantages of its SMS popup over, say, putting a messenger widget on your lockscreen?

I like it because it pops up over the lockscreen, but if you don't access it within the normal screen timeout (I think), it goes behind the lockscreen. The popup allows you to delete the message or do a quick or voice reply. You can have it set to mark the message as read if you close the popup, but if you press the back button on the Eris itself, handcent still shows the message as unread, which I find useful if I want to do something else but still have that reminder in my notification bar. I also have my Eris set up to go to the compose screen with a long click on the search button.
Sorry if this is confusing. It's just my personal preference.

downloaded this morning and really like it. Very flexible. anyone notice any performance or lag issues since install? mine seems to be solid so far.

Yes, I have as well. I got curious about what could be causing that. In addition, I've noticed that often when I unlock, my Pure Calendar widget shows no events. Occasionally, even LP itself has to redraw all the homescreens, which takes at least 5 seconds. First, I tried changing the LP memory settings to "medium." No effect. Then, however, I thought that maybe the "Helper" app that the developer suggests we use as our home app, has something to do with it. So, I decided to change the default home back to LauncherPro. According to the dev, there is some sore of 5 second delay when pressing the "Home" button on the device if the helper app is not set as the default home. I have found that contrary to what he has said, THIS IS NOT THE CASE. I can unlock via my custom sliders AND the Home button, and there is virtually NO detectable delay compared to using it with the helper app as the default home.
Observations after resetting LP as the default home:
-- No disappearing events in Pure Calendar (scrolling enabled)
-- No redraw on exiting lockscreen into homescreens
-- WidgetLocker STILL replaces stock lockscreen at boot
-- Battery life versus helper app as default home: I used the phone for several calls (one as long as 26min), texts, and occasional data, and was able to squeeze around 17 hours out of it. This seems to be better than using the Helper app as the default home.
-- If you enter WidgetLocker from your app menu, News/Weather widget will cease rotating among news items. However, if you reboot and let WidgetLocker replaced the standard lockscreen by itself, it will act like normal.
My setup:
-- XtrROM 3.0.3
-- No OC
-- Nexus One lockscreen patch
-- LauncherPro 0.7.1.0
-- WidgetLocker notification bar icon disabled
Sorry if this was long-winded and confusing. I hope this helps anyone on the fence about buying this app or those on LP or with Pure Calendar who are experiencing similar problems. After these tweaks, I can now say I'm glad I paid for this app!

[APP][UPDATE 10/10/2010]CarMode V3

Thread moved to - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=806018
Please unfollow this thread and visit the link above instead for latest updates.
Introducing CarMode, an alternative to Car Home. Basically what it does is it shows you huge buttons to important apps that you might use when driving a vehicle with less distraction than manually waking your phone, opening the app drawer, etc. Unlike Car Home, this app will give you more flexibility and more settings to poke around with (even better in future updates).
Looks best with MDPI devices (320x480 resolution, e.g. Droid Eris).
As of now, this app is currently in Alpha phase. What you see right now does not reflect how it will look like and work in the future. I'm working hard to make changes and add more features. Currently NOT in the Market but available on GetJar.com

}
Here are some apps/redirections that you can use with CarMode:
* Dialer
* Messages
* Call logs
* Shazam
* Navigation
* Voice Search
* Contacts
* Music
* Maps
* Display
* Settings
* Notes - opens a built-in note-taker with save and load features.
To-Do-List:
Where-did-I-park? feature
Be able to set apps to open by default, 3rd party apps (Dialer One, Handcent, etc)
Add more tools, options
Fix layout for HDPI devices
Auto-fill when hiding apps
Fix landscape layout
Choose own apps to launch
Changelog:
v3 October 10:
Changed theme
Removed button sets (temporary)
Added more buttons
Reworked layout
Added a persistent option to hide/show buttons
v2 October 5:
Changed app icon.
Added two button sets
Added several settings options
7 total buttons
v1 October 1:
First release
What else should I add? The less the better 'cause I don't want people to be distracted too much when driving! Please do suggest! If you're familiar with App Inventor and is good at it, may I ask some advice from you? Send me a PM. Thank you!

Whoa it worked?! Nice Thank you for testing it!
And yeah, I just need to fix the graphics and such @[email protected]
For the Display, I directed it to the Display settings so you can put the screen on for whatever time limit you want before it goes off, useful if you're driving so you don't have to press the End call button to wake the phone xD

Nice job. I don't use Shazam so I can't test that. Everthing worked fine except the dialer button. It FC every time I tried it. Maybe because mine is themed or because the rom I'm on has a different dialer than the one you created the app with.
Great work. Looking forward to seeing a custom icon.

Oh, the Dialer actually uses the "Dialer One" app. You can get it from the Market. I'm actually working on it. Fixing and stuff. I'll let you guys know for changes. I'll be posting a new version by the end of the day.
Thanks for trying it out!

V2
V2 works well for me again. One thing that I notice is that when I hide one of the icons they come back when I open the program back up. It would be nice if the settings would stick. Nice progress though

I like the themes and the option to hide unwanted apps but a few things that I noticed:
Can you only display the disclaimer at initial open?
I get FC when navigating back from any given app.
Large file size.
Keep at it, it's coming along nicely.

Good one, I'll try to find a way to hide the disclaimer and not be very intrusive.
The size is my problem too. Probably because of the themes. I'm thinking of making another package for themes but I don't know how to do that yet. I'll find ways to decrease the file size.
Again, thanks you two Your feedbacks will help me improve this app by A LOT!

The file size really isn't that big a deal (apps2sd) but if you find a way to trim it, it would be nice.

Yeah, A2SD FTW
I'm somehow looking for a way to modify apps from App Inventor so I can publish them to the Market so updating would be easier.

New update tonight 10/09/2010
v3 is up! Please test it out? Thank you so much!

screens look awesome. gonna try to dl and try tonight.

Well........That was a major improvement! I love the new interface. It is very quick and smooth. Keep up the good work. Its coming along wonderfully. Again major improvement over v.2!

Awesome app! Much more stable than the last version. I tried everything and couldn't get it to FC at all. I like the different tabs and the hidden disclaimer...and that it no longer has the stock icon. A few constructive suggestions for V4:
When apps are deselected in the settings, have the main screen autofill (it currently leaves a blank box).
Fix orientation for landscape so you don't have to scroll down to see the rest of the apps.
There was a blank app box (not sure if that's supposed to be there).
Is it possible to let the users select their own apps/settings for it to call on? This would eliminate the need to add a bunch of apps and have the user deselect unwanted ones.
This app has come a long way. Can't wait to try out the next version.

-Autofill
-Landscape mode
-Fill in blank box xD That was just a filler cause I didn't know what to add there.
-Ability to select own apps
-Where-did-I-park? feature
Thank you for the suggestions, I'll try to find ways to add those. They're good ones too. My only problem is that the landscape and the choice to add own stuff would probably take a while. I have to find a way around App Inventor. It has a lot of limitations that's why I can't implement some other stuff.
But again, we'll see. I appreciate the output!

Hi,
Does this work with HTC desire? I tried to install it, but it closes down everytime I start phone oglor an app that has to do with contacts. Navigation is working fine

Yes, I made an error and based the actions/intent on Froyo ROM. I forgot that this differs with every ROM/version/phone.
If you could help me, if ever you have LauncherPro as home replacement app, could you go to your desktop, hold down screen and choose Shortcuts > Activities and look for the app that force closes and give me (if you don't mind), all the things that has starts with a com.* etc, etc under the Dialer for example. That way, I can fix it

TabletBar Hider
Want to use your honeycomb tablet in *true* fullscreen, without that pesky system bar in the way? Now you can! (REQUIRES ROOT!)
This app allows you to hide the system bar in landscape mode, where it gets in the way the most. Then, if you need to access it to leave the app, just rotate your tablet to portrait and the bar appears. When you're done, rotate it back to landscape and the bar disappears again. You can go back to the app and end that behavior at any time.
There is currently an issue with apps that prevent rotation - you may get stuck in them! But worst case, you can always reboot and everything goes back to normal. I will work on a fix for that if people like the app!
I am new to Android app development so please let me know if there are any issues! I have created a free demo version that you can run to verify that the app will properly hide and restore the system bar on your tablet. I have tested this on a Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 but not others yet! So please make sure to try the demo first.
Note that the demo is only for verifying that the app can kill and restore the system bar. It does not feature the automatic rotation service that the full version contains.

Well thought! tested the demo and working well on arabic rom p7510jpkg5. Though expected demo to be a little more useful beyond just hiding and restoring the bottom bar. Couldn't revert to home screen after applying the tweak. The full version could have been free.
well done.

It's useful...thanks

Works great on my Xoom but some time in future development it would be nice to have the option of a transparent status bar too.

Bought it in hopes that you'll be further developing it. Further development on this that could really turn heads would be access to the full apps list with the ability to check mark which ones you want the taskbar hider to work with (and more importantly, which ones you don't).
Great idea. Looking forward to where this might go.

Please consider making it work with multitouch gestures.
I have my tablet set to always stay in Landscape mode (unless an app forces me into portrait mode). So the current way of hiding and restoring the status bar is a PITA.
What you could (should) do is this.
Two finger swipe down off of the screen = Hide status bar.
Two finger swipe up onto the screen = Restore status bar.
Does that make sense?
It's a great start!

this would be really nice!

It would be great if it would work with wizz or have like a wiz type bar where i can click bottom middle during any app and bring up home and back and multi task and then even better like wizz i can add my own!
edit:
on adw ex I have swipe down as notifications. with this thing enabled. I swipe down and my notifications dont pop up really wished that I could swipe down for my notifications with the bar off
O well, guess its good for specific apps although I would really like to see it as a more accessible thing like wizzbar

Yes, I know its a simple app and it could be free, but this is kind of an experiment for me to see if I can make money writing apps. It also will provide the encouragement I need to keep developing it. And yeah, the demo is just to make sure people don't get stuck buying the paid app and have it not work. Its not really intended to be useful.

Actually I was originally going to hook into the volume buttons, and have one hide it and one restore it, but I found that background services don't have access to the volume buttons. Orientation was less ideal, but It was something I could hook into from the background. I'm not sure if background services can see the gestures, but I will look into it! One thing I know I can do is look at the accelerometer instead of the orientation. That way even if you're locked, you can still rotate to show the bar. Of course.. then its sideways, and that's weird. But thanks for the words of encouragement as well!

Ooh, yeah the app kills the process that contains the notifications, so that is one area where it won't work. Also, I said this above but I'm not sure if I can see gestures from a background process. But I will look into it for sure! That would definitely be better.
I also realized that if I implement the suggestion above about selecting which apps to disable my app on, I could have it also disabled on the home screen. That would be nice.

So, I just realized that the Market app doesn't allow rotation, and it can appear that you're stuck. I will definitely have to add a way to filter which apps this is enabled for.
For the meantime, you're not actually stuck in Market. Just use the menu on the top right and go to "Contact us" and it will open the browser.
Silly, for sure. I'll try to add the fix soon. Probably not till the weekend though.

Awesome Work!

I have Wavelauncher installed and it's a good workaround. If I'm in an app that won't rotate I just swipe for Wavelaunch. It can show recent apps and user defined apps. If the app you want isn't listed, just pick one that does portrait to get the system bar back. If this app can come up there must be a way for you to do a swipe gesture to bring the bar back,
Anyway, thanks for this app! Love watching movies without the bar at the bottom!

I actually found virtual button bar in the market, works like a dream. Lovin the fullscreen now!

A nice feature would be:
Have the system bar timeout and hide itself after a set time amount of inactivity. Say... if you do not touch anything that has to do with the system bar for a whole minute, it will automatically hide itself. Swiping up could bring it back up or something like that. Would be extremely useful. Kinda like how Windows has the auto hide taskbar feature to give more screen space.
Honestly, I think auto hiding the system bar should be something Google should cook up and bring natively to the Honeycomb tablets. It makes sense to do that if you think about it. I know that the icons and such will dim down to white dots after a few seconds while using certain parts of the system apps, but something like auto hiding the entire system bar altogether will be far superior.

I still like the idea of checking off the apps this is allowed to work in on a list. I imagine that's a lot of work.
Perhaps in the mean time, you could implement a hidden button that could toggle the taskbar by tapping in the extreme upper right or left corner. That (I imagine) should be a lot simpler to do for the time being.
I wouldn't hesitate to spend $2.00-2.50 on the finished app.

I hope you could get it to work with the international 3G Xoom. MZ601

Hey guys,
Man, I don't get what the deal is with forums *not* e-mailing me even though I have notifications enabled.
But yeah, I have been brainstorming ways to make this work better. The simplest idea, and what I will try to enable this weekend, is shaking the tablet to toggle the bar.
Hooking into rotation was the simplest thing and I just wanted to get off the ground and see if people liked it. Clearly you guys do (thanks!) so I gotta make this app easier to use.
I looked up how to do swiping, and apparently background apps are not supposed to have access to touch events, for security (imagine if an app secretly waited till your banking app was running and then watched locations pressed on the screen when you typed your password). So people seem to think apps that run in the background and read swipes are using some kind of unsupported security holes, and my initial search only found people not willing to talk about it. Still, I haven't spent much time on it yet, busy week!
But I will look at it this weekend and see what I can do to improve it. I also gotta shoot a youtube videos as I have what feels like a high rate of returns - I think it would be really helpful if people saw how it worked before downloading.
And I finally got a review, yay! Of course if you have any opinions on the app I'd love a review!

Does it not? Is your tablet rooted? This app cannot work without root, unfortunately.

Let me rephrase it. According to the market, your app is not compatible with my MZ601. When i do a search through the market it doesn't come up in the list. Its strange though since I was able to download your tester and it worked. I really would like to have this on my Xoom. And yes' I am rooted and running the Hammerhead ROM.
Have you checked your spam folder? A lot of times emails get marked as spam specially ibes coming from forums.

Hmm... weird. I haven't purposefully hidden it from any devices. As far as I am aware it should work with every Honeycomb device.
I'll look into that this weekend.
And I checked my spam folder. Nothing there. I'll double check my notification settings.

Stuck on "You're using full screen mode", swiping up does nothing

Just got an S8. When I go full screen, I get this overlay. I can't get rid of it. Nothing wrong with my touchscreen, swiping up works everywhere else, just not in full screen mode.

You're using full screen mode. The home, back and recents buttons are hidden to minimize visual distractions and to prevent you from leaving the app accidentally.
However you're holding your phone the buttons will always be located next to the charging port. When your phone is rotated counterclockwise, swipe left from the edge of the screen as shown by the arrow.

This is the note 8 section, you say you are using a S8, but, it seems that the full screen message you are getting is related to the app you are using, not the device itself

Sorry, just posted it there at S8.
Thanks for your help. The full screen issue actually occurs wherever and whenever I go full screen. It's quite frustrating because I basically can't watch anything without this annoying overlay. I only found one other person who apparently fixed it, and his solution didn't work for me. I wiped the cache, restarted multiple times, toggled off then on full screen apps. To no avail.

Ok, maybe some app you use that has the inmersive function is keeping it even when not in use? Again, the message you are getting does not look like a system one

That's the tool tip you get when you choose to autohide through navbar in Oreo. But swiping up on the arrow is supposed to take you to the next tip in the little mini tutorial. If that's not working, then something is booked. Maybe a factory reset.

I reset it from the settings and also the "wipe cache/data" option. Didn't fix it, unfortunately. I also went to settings and disabled all apps (including system's) that can appear on top of others, and can change settings. When I turned on "Show touches", I can see that the touch works in that region. And I also did that touch screen test and I could fill in green all the spots there too. It's so frustrating, I can't watch anything or play a game without this stupid overlay.
I've been just thinking of waiting for Pie to come, maybe this thing will go away. But I don't know how I can seek help for this.

Are you using a home screen launcher app other than Samsung's own?

Nope, just plain standard mode TouchWiz. What actually ended up happening is I called Samsung. Apparently they can remote control with a mouse, so they simply swiped from their side and, boom, the message went away. So it looks like there's something on my side preventing swipes from the charging port. It's strange because I still sometimes get responses when I touch on the bottom edge; I can actually press on the navigation bar buttons and they work fine, but swiping doesn't work from that area. So now, when I'm watching a video, I'm forced to swipe the status bar down to show the navigation bar, instead of from the charging port. Also, when I go to the Notes app and begin drawing, I can see the line tracing until it reaches the bottom edge, where it just stops even when there is more space. I know that there is a crack on the bottom left. Maybe I need to replace the screen or, possibly, the digitizer.

Maybe this is a first time you are using fullscreen mode with app have function hide navbar (not using full touch gestures in stock rom).
Solution
Just disable funtion hide navbar in your third app
When you are open app full screen like youfube, this warning will appear and you just press button Got It. It will show anymore.
Then, reactive hide navbar.

Hi, I have the same problem. Any solution ?

I had this problem and fixed it by opening a YouTube video full screen. The YouTube app does allow you get rid of the message while most other apps I've tried won't.

Finally solved it by swiping from the arrow side and hit the word OK

Hive got +1 nord 2003 phone. İve got cubasis with a missing right side buttons in that. So got to the menu found screen optiin for the front camera. İts got options because the camera has a place on the screen . So that menu follows about the screen should act how for the front camera if disturbs you. Then choose the app and select dont hide its solved

I have the same screen on my daughter's Galaxy A54. We just configured the new phone. But now she cannot swipe to unlock the phone. Help please!
