Hi,
What are the major changes in Gingerbread when compared with Froyo? What are the changes one can notice?
I've noticed that the App Drawer is now 4x4 based like the Galaxy S, except it is vertical based and you slide like an iPhone App Drawer, except vertically, the app drawer is also organized by the tabs below the drawer. (All Apps, Frequent, Downloaded)
A new mirror app.
Most widgets have a little visual change.
The OS is faster, more stable.
The notification bar now has two tabs, one for notifications, another one for Quick Settings, which allows you to toggle Wifi, Bluetooth, GPS etc.
The Battery Use screen is changed to a more detailed look (Added a graph).
Startup time is faster. (From Cold Boot)
In the Gallery, pinch zooming is now buttery smooth, not laggy anymore.
The weather animations now has sound effects added to them. You can turn the sound effects off.
Smoother weather animations.
That's all I've found.

The update notification states that "it will not clear any content on the phone".
Are all your contacts, call logs, sms messages etc still there after the OTA update?
Or do i have to backup my stuff to somewhere. . ? Hmm..

you don't have to back anything up. it updates everything without any deletion of apps/contacts
I would have really wished for there to be a sound profile option in the new quick setting feature but well, would just have to use the quick setting application.
In addition, the Camera app has a little change.
Now you can switch cameras without accessing in the hidden menu.
Video Recording now adds Stereo Recording, which uses the Dual Microphone technology to record sounds in Stereo, and it seems that the video recording in HD is now smoother, I think it is around 28 FPS to 30 FPS.
In Photo Taking mode, The menu has Auto Enhance added, which removes more noises, but keeping the photo in high quality.
Is there any change to the standard HTC keyboard? i.e. still have arrow keys on the right (in landscape mode), long-press on every key for alternate characters...

Mind taking some screenshots of the camera app and posting a video that demonstrates the Stereo Recording?
I wanna see how the Video Audio Quality is now as currently it sounds like a tin can when recording.
Thanks!
hi is it true that if you update the IS to gingerbread the wifi issue that desire s has also occurs in this phone? i've read somewhere that people updated to gingerbread and they got all this deathgrip kind of issue on wifi..
i hope those who have updated to gingerbread can confirm if this is true or not..thanks!
I've been thinking a bit. Now that most of the D1 users no longer have the D1, I'm sure they would like to be able to use it for something else. I was thinking that it would be kind of cool to turn it into a device that no longer has the ability to connect to a phone tower. Simply put, it would be a media player. I'm not sure how many people are interested in this, but I'd like to see it done. I think it should still be able to use wifi and bluetooth, but other than that, no wireless signals of any sort. What do you guys think?

I completely agree with you I too have a Droid 1 that I intend to use as a media player now that my Galaxy S3 is here. I am currently working on a media (Very Early Stages) ROM so to speak that would essentially just be like you said Bluetooth and Wifi only connectivity, in a stripped down configuration optimized for playing media. What features would you like to see in a media ROM?

Mind telling me what you've done so far? I'd like to know what ROM you're using as a base as well please. I really don't know what features I'd like to see except those I've already mentioned. Maybe I'll get some ideas after I know a little more.
Why not just take a popular ROM and delete all the cruft with Titanium Backup?
There are guides for making a bare bone system around.

Progress so Far
For those of you who were wondering what progress has been made so far as I mentioned in my first post in this thread, the media ROM I am working on is still in the very early stages. Today I came up with some design concepts and have a few questions for what peoples preferences would be in terms of a base ROM to be used. Would people want AOSP Froyo, AOSP Gingerbread, CM7, or Peter Alfonso's stock and rooted FRK76 ROM?
Concepts
ROM would be deodexed, rooted, busybox, init.d boot scripts support, etc.
Performance tweaks so you can enjoy your media lag free
AROMA Installer to customize pre installed apps and things along those lines
Custom launcher optimized for media (See Concept Art section below)
Lockscreen tweaks optimized for media (See Concept Art section below)
Lightweight and as performance efficient as possible
Kermel optimized for battery life so you can enjoy your videos, pictures, and music for as long as possible
Bluetooth and Wifi will be the only active radios all others will be disabeled
Non-media essential apps will be removed (Can be customized with AROMA Installer)
More ideas to be added latter

Lockscreen Concept
Homescreen Concept
Concept Art Explained
Lockscreen
At the top of the lockscreen you see the time of day and the date these are pretty self explanatory. Below is the battery indicator, self explanatory. Next comes the "Shake to Unlock!" message, rather then taking up valuable room with a slide to unlock feature or something similar, this would allow the user to quickly unlock the phone (Options for slide to unlock, may be added). Then the speaker icon allows the user to tap the speaker icon to adjust the media volume and alarm volume (Ringer volume would be disabled because cellular radio would be disabled) all from the lockscreen. After this comes the three album covers which represent the cover flow lockscreen widget, this would allow the user to browse their music collection through a cover flow view and when they found the album they wanted to listen to they could tap on the cover to select it. Long pressing on the album cover would show the list of songs in the album and they could then select an individual song to listen to, all without having to leave the lockscreen. Lastly the music controls at the bottom would allow the user to skip songs forwards and backwards and pause/play songs that are playing.
Homescreen
The main concept behind the home-screen is a simplified view that makes it easy to enjoy your media. User would be able to customize a 4x4 grid of tiles for their home screen, allowing them to chose the size (I.E. 1x4, 3x2, 4x4, 2x2, etc.) background color, icon, and other attributes. In my concept example the "Rise Against" 2x1 icon is an example of how if you listen to a particular song, artist, or album a lot you could have a shortcut on your home-screen that when you tap on that tile automatically takes the user to that song, artist, album, or playlist. The 2x1 "Music" icon is an example of how the user can specify a application shortcut which when they tap on that tile takes them to the application they specified (Taping the "Music" tile open the music application). The 4x1 "Movies + Videos" tile when tapped by the user would open the video player application and from their the user could chose what movies and videos to view. The 3x1 "Quantum of Solace" tile is an example of a homescreen shortcut the user could create for a specific movie, TV show, TV series, video, etc. that when that tile is tapped on the specific video plays (Tapping the "Quantum of Solace" tile plays the movie Quantum of Solace). The 1x1 "Pictures" tile allows you to access the gallery to view your pictures. The "Google Play" tile allows you to access Google Play (Must be connected to Wifi, certain Google Apps will be an optional install using AROMA Installer). The "Apps" tile brings up your app draw (Horizontal paginated for maximum smoothness) to view all apps. Lastly the "Browser" tile allows you to access the internet (Again, must be connected to Wifi.
Wrapping It All Up
Further development will be begin in the next few days, and I will be periodically updating my progress and posting my early builds. Please remember Rome wasn't built in day and neither will this ROM. Any suggestions, comments, etc. feel free to post them in this tread or PM me.
ROM would be deodexed, rooted, busybox, init.d boot scripts support, etc.

make a nandroid backup XD
i think that using root explorer or titanium backup it's possible
wipe un-necessary files (telehpone,mms etcetera)
place launcher 7 on it and link the application that we use more.

This is basically what I would do for an early build but eventually by the final 1.0 release I would replace launcher 7 with my own launcher built from the ground up. And yes always do a backup before testing anything

This is a great start Personally, I'm not too fond of the W7-like homescreen... I think that if we had a media-oriented homescreen, it should include media controls and an app drawer. Maybe a shortcut to the video player, or something. One single screen as default, and the possibility to add a shortcut page by swiping left or right (for apps). Nothing else. What do you think?

Yeah I like your suggestions starting builds would use Launcher Pro or ADW (Preferences? Alternate suggestions for launcher?), I might try and use Rock Box for media controls. Ideally I want to get it to the point where people can chose between a one homescreen setup launcher and my custom style launcher from the concepts. And im not 100% clear on what you mean by "possibility to add a shortcut page by swiping left or right (for apps)" care to explain this more.:good:

Uhm... I guess that there would be a custom app drawer on either side of the main screen... If that makes it any simpler.

The purpose of this thread is simple...
To discuss anything that will truly add features to our phone... As we know this is a light skinned version of stock Android
And here I will be presenting links to apps and threads and everyone can contribute... Which add features to Op5...
Not just ui customizations..... Features...
Definition of a feature...
Something which your phone does which it couldn't do before that app..
So come on guys.. Lets start...
Though I did hate the laggy TouchWiz. I did live the s pen and S note...
And honestly speaking you wll too...
Let's try and customize our Op5.. To the extent that we want to...
This thread will present a series of apps and threads links etc..
Which will help the user to truly add whatever features they want from whatever skin htc sense Samsung TouchWiz to their op5
And I am no developer so please help me out here...

Thai all add the air command and scrapboom like features to the phone ..
What it does....
Allows you to take custom screen shots and save content like scrapbook for later use...
It is also a over screen float like air view...
It kinda blows samsung air view out of the box... But ya note devices do have bigger screens...

MacroDroid - Device Automation
MacroDroid is a powerful task automation and configuration app that focuses heavily on usability with a simple UI and logical step by step process.
Amazing UI. In my experience better than Tasker.
How about Always On AMOLED - BETA?
It's a simple app which keeps your screen on always (like MOTO devices). Nice and cool. If you pay a small amount you get an unlocked version with customization...
Loved the suggestions guys... Specially the always on amoled
Sent from my ONEPLUS A5000 using Tapatalk
I have two minor additions I'd want added:
1. More customizable theme colors (or honestly I just want red back!)
2. Invertable color option for the system tray
TL;DR add automatic rules
I had a note 5 I loved it, unfortunately it didn't like the hot tub.. TBH I never used the pen much, but when I did it was handy, perfect for field work; snap a pic, doodle on it, send it off. Awesome! I was torn between buying a note FE or the OP5, I'm glad I stuck with OP from a 2 to a 3 to a 5. I've become a flash-a-holic.
The feature I'd love to see is "automatic rules" you can actually get access to the setting on OOS if you have nova launcher, but it just doesn't work. I'm using "#1 profile" to automatically set the phone to priority only at bed time, this shouldn't be a difficult thing for OP to add/activate to OOS.
I'd also like the old dialer, or for that matter any other dialer, swipe down to answer for me is counter intuitive. Like thumbs up thumbs down, swipe up to answer, or swipe down to reject a call.
I wish you could choose the text bubble colour in the default sms app. Like textra or Google messages (too bad they don't have a dark theme for Google messages).
A setting to switch the wireless data indicator from 4g to LTE, I'm not sure why this bugs me, but it does.
How about Tiles? Also, Virtual Hosts is excellent for setting up a root free ad block. Just download one of Steven Black's host files from GitHub and point the app to it.
Would love for buttons and gestures (especially screen off) to be able to invoke app shortcuts. Just imagine the possibilities for Tasker.
Always on display.
Notification badges on the stock launcher so I can enjoy the shelf.

This is a nice app and I have paid to support but the battery hit is just too much right now compared to what you get using LG or Samsung's version

I don't understand why not a single stock ROM has long-press volume to skip track. Its such a simple feature. Its baked into every single custom ROM out there. It was there on Sony Ericsson phones (Walkman and K series). I need to get the damn phone out of the pocket, turn the screen on, unlock, open notifications shade, and press to skip a god damn song. (Not all headphones come with buttons, and not all headphones support skipping songs by multi-pressing the buttons.)
2 features I'd love added:
1. Long press back to kill app
2. Brightness slider in notification drop down. I know there is one, but you have to fully extend it to change it. My S7 had the option to place it in the first drop down.
Yeah I agree with most of you, some useful additions:
1. Badges on the Stock OP Launcher! I love it from my iPhone and sometimes forget to answer because I swyped the notification away and no badges to know there are still unread messages
2. Always On or something similar, but only if it doesn't use too much battery and no burn-in
3. Kill all apps in background with one button gesture
I'd love to see OMS commits get to OOS and probably experiment with the Kernel a bit (I know you can flash a custom, but if you'd like to stay complete stock, without unlocking). Maybe improve audio libs similar to ARISE....
How about a one-handed mode feature? That would be pretty helpful.
- Options to block QS & Power menu on secured lockscreen. (Smart Lockscreen protector app does the job, but it's service doesn't start at boot until the first unlock...)
- Skip music tracks using volume keys
- Built in Caffeine tile (the one from play store works well, but doesn't reset when turning screen off).
- Launch torch using power button long press when screen is off
- One-handed mode
- Center status bar clock
Hi guys,
1- badges for notifications. All my previous phones had this function.
2- more functions in auto mode for camera app, it's too basic for me. And in pro mode, I cannot set up the luminosity if the speed is in manual.
3- ultra power saving mode, like Samsung does, very useful when no more battery and we know no access to electricity for several hours.
4- Resize several pictures at the same time. Sometimes I need to send some pictures but the weight is too big.
1. Badges for unread msg or any notification
2. Always on
3. Camera should have more modes
4. Blurred wallpaper on lock screen
Always on clock
Ability to have status bar icons anywhere ie: signal on left
Ability to use dual cameras for wide angle
Ability to use normal USB-C to HDMI cables (not displaylink, Chromecast and wireless solutions are not fit for gaming, one of the 1+5s strongest points)
Screen off/on animation
List view animations
Full halo support
I'll think of more but that's my list of wants
Coming from a samsung mobile, i was just wondering if there is any way to get notifications like on the samsung mobiles on the AOD screen, instead of the just red tintet clock, and the 2 analogue clocks?
Bump
Go back to Samsung. This phone has no dev work. We will never have a proper aod.
+1, came from Samsung and I miss the options it had for AOD, would also be cool if we have more digital clocks AOD options instead of the red lines garbage we have now
Bump
Have you tried any of the AOD apps in the Play store? https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.newgen.alwayson&hl=en_GB

Yes, it's very good and all but the problem with it is that it takes a lot of battery in a very short amount of time, as the screen is "on" all the time in the battery consumption settings.
I made a post after getting pie update and now, here is an in-depth list of features of android Q in ZMP M1
all phones are not getting the same features
removing screen lock /fingerprint doesn't save you from password after update (at least it didn't work for me ) make a backup of everything in case you need to reset
list of things I'll suggest making a backup
WhatsApp chat
google photos
apps with es file explorer or any such file manager
settings + contacts+ call log+ messages from settings backup
notification led :
I like to turn it off all the rime even when charging but in android Q I couldn't find any way to disable it during charging
i was checking my old post about pie
1. Ambient Display : settings>display>advance>Ambient Display
It works only when you get a notification (its dope would like it being enabled always) though Daydream nowhere to be found.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
so ambient display is gone screensaver is back (edit: its renamed and moved to display lock screen area as new notification toggle)
volume panel:
change volume click more slider button and this is how to devolve UI it shows a big screen covering prompt to show sliders
font in developer settings only two options device default seems better
no third-party launcher supports the new gesture navigation but it is a problem on google's part
left earphone to week? there is audio balance in assessability settings
vibratin and haptic feedback in assessability
not the true dark mode in assessability settings dark theme and color inversion options are nearby enough to test what we could have got for dark mode
dark mode doesn't get turn back to a light mode in live wallpaper
assessability volume key shortcut might come in in handy for some but it makes a notification sound
there is charging sound and vibration in sound settings might want to turn it off, I have seen Samsung charging sound but Asus just makes the phone vibrate with a faint sound might scare people who don't know as it's on by default in android q
I am getting the rotate once button in navbar when autorotate is off I am using two-button navigation and a small circle when using gesture
the lockdown option to prevent unlock by any other means now also prevents notification to show can be enabled in display>lock screen display> show lockdown option
in gesture navigation you can swipe up and continue in an app to make it go smaller beyond it should go
to start android it asks for setup screen lock password it is stepping in the right direction but we should have it in kernel/bios as once entered in recovery mode anyone can reset a phone
QR code to share wifi available
still no way to monitor or block devices connected to your hotspot
default Bluetooth name QCOM-BTD Qualcomm's BLE chip?
widgets to settings shortcut there should be system UI tuner after opening it shows this funny warning message
apps notificatio>notification snoozing useless button more useless because cant see snooze option in youtube notification
battery saver got new auto turn off at 90% feature
battery picture in battery settings seems thick would prefer "ampere app" like stats in later versions
display don't have color temperature adjust
accelerated location something about data storage and data concent
high accuracy, battery saver, etc options for location not available
google play system update is 1 January 2020 please update it
security patch is 5nov 2019

auto video encoder is h264
portrait mode has extremely bad edge detection
night mode isn't that good
no fps option for video like 24,25,29.98,30,60 fps etc

nowadays phones are getting so powerful and people can take great pictures so shouldn't sRGB be enabled by default? like it does help semi-professional photo editing if we get a bit more color accuracy.

things are too much to explain / broken but I like to deeply analyze things and couldn't find an in-depth bug list while thinking whether I should get in beta so after upgrading I made one. it has some errors but I am working on it

I saw this problem also mentioned in the forums and I asked my friends if my phone sounds different and didn't got any negative report also I watched youtube for 4hrs on Thursday and didn't heard any difference
Would be interested to know how to turn off the lock screen. Lock screen none does not appear as an option.

Gestures are enabled by Google after December security patch nova / most other launchers work with gestures. You can however use 2 button and 3 button navigation perfectly.
About that dark and black mode difference we don't have an amoled or led display it's an lcd so it won't make difference in battery but kind of personal choice. I like dark more than black.
The thing about wallpaper and dark thing - in android 9 dark/light theme was set by wallpaper color so live wallpapers needed to support color picker api to tell the device to keep light or dark theme. (it was half broken by asus as selecting dark theme should've disabled the api completely, but using pixel default live wallpapers they had that api so dark mode worked with them).
That srgb was being considered by Google they dropped it as it broke a lot of the things.
You can resize top and bottom windows just hold the middle line in centre and drag it where you want to put it. (I use 400 dpi so I get more steps).
It's because that feature is intended towards large screen tablets or foldables and Samsung made their own thing, (the free form window thing).
It's for devs making password manager apps or autofill apps those people need it for debugging, the logging levels are to make reports to find bugs, the max request is how many times in one field the autofill will attempt to fill in credentials. The max visible dataset is if you have multiple accounts to one app (take Gmail as example) so while trying to autofill it lists all of available accounts to show (I'm not an expert in this so I maybe wrong if needed confirm that.
About sound issue it is very real and use some good quality earphones or compare side by side with 060 running device.
