Hi,
I am currently using CM6 official night build for Hero and I got some questions, if someone's kind enough to answer it
* Why is JIT not enabled by default ? I thought Android 2.2 had JIT stable, why is it not the case in CM6 night build ?
* Will there be a way to {over|under}clock directly in the kernel like the last 2.1 roms are doing, not by using the overclock widget that register on hooks and is much slower to switch frequencies ?
* ADW.Launcher is the default home, why isn't it linked to the market, like the GMap app is (it can be updated but not removed) ? We can install the market ADW.Launcher app but it is not the same app (the settings menu is not at the same place and the previous settings menu still appears in the phone's settings).
* In the Rom Manager app, it is said that I should install the ClockworkMod recovery to use the app. What is it ? Is it as crazy as Kubrick ? Seriously, I am currently using RA-hero-v1.6.2, what is this ClockworkMod, is it better ? Should I install it ?
* I saw that there was a way to skin CM5, changing, for example the color and image of the notification bar, Skins were installable directly with a barcode. Is there such a way in CM6 ?
I hope these are not (too) noob questions, thank you for answering anyway
Seriously, you used the word yourself. You really think development is the area for questions? Next time post in the Q&A section, the hint is in the name... (reported)

Appologies, I didn't pay attention, my bad.
Could a mod move it to the right forum ?
Thread moved to Q&A.
Up ?
Nobody to answer those questions ?
I would suggest posting on their forums as the devs probably don't regularly check XDA.

Since there are too many to look through maybe since everyone here has used one or maybe 2, I guess all of you might be help to the rest of us.. People POWER
What I want is something with the Go Launcher type UI... Instead of the Original because I realized If I installed it on top of the original it takes up some ram and I don't want unnecessary ram to be taken out, so if someone has created a ROM with that UI as the standard and removed the original that will fix the problem.
Also this ROM needs to be nice and zappy and be able to be overclocked.
:laugh: is there such a ROM out there

First of all wrong section, should be in q&a, reported.
Go launcher type ui you won't get, but you can just download it (maybe move it to system/app as well) and freeze (or even remove) the shipped launcher.
About a specific rom, codec is pretty nice if you want a samsung based rom, cm9 if you like stable aosp, teamasek or resurection if you want jb aosp and hypergalaxy if you want jb samy.
But all in all it comes down to personal preference, just check yourself some roms and stick with the one fitting you best.
Moved to Q/A and closed. The development section is not the right place to ask questions, make sure you are aware of the rules, and search before posting
It doesn't take long to read the OP of a thread, take a look at a few and decide for yourself.
Go launcher is that, a launcher, you can remove the stock touchwiz (Or whatever one the dev includes) one from any rom, using titanium backup or many other app freezing apps, or even a root file manager.
So just started running paranoid android, and I really like it, but I'm used to a few settings I used to have when I ran Liquid Smooth, and was wondering whether it was possible to get them for Paranoid Rom for S3, for 3.99
They are:
1. Can I add a brightness bar to the top of the screen? in the Task manager area bit?
2. Can I add a settings button in the top of the screen, in the Task manager area bit?
3. Is it possible to get menu long press for kill app?
4. Is it possible to get shortcut stuff to wifi and things like that on the task manager bit? I think its called a power widget?
5. is it possible to turn on the thing where I can swype left and right on the bottom of the task manager bit to go in between the two take manager windows.
I apologise if these are pretty mundane questions, I've tried racking through the settings area many times, but I don't know if its just not possible, or if I'm completely missing the setting, or if its just some place that I didn't think of.
Cheers

Camera
Hi I own a Xperia Z2 and I'm interested in installing this custom ROM. However I am interested in the camera app with which this ROM comes with. As on the stock Sony ROM the camera app would 'overheat' after recording 4k video for 10 min. I would like to know what kind of app/software you use on this ROM to record videos and if the same 'popup' would appear after 10 min of 4k recording.
Thanks in advance
There is no 4k or Sony camera in ANY aosp/cm etc (aka non stock) rom unfortunately

You actually should be able to post in the real Nightly Thread now, I just deactivated the Q&A Thingy. To your problems:
The CPU thingy is like this. This is also how it is clocked on the stock Rom. You couls install a Custom Kernel to OC it to 2.5 (Actually 2.45 GHz) If you want so.
Regarding the Music App: Just install any App you like from the Playstore.
Regarding the Gov and Shedulers: Find it out on your own and what fits your needs best.
Regarding the Launcher: Not with the Standard launcher but you could always install a different one from the playstore.

BUG FOUND
rom installed : CARBON-KK-NIGHTLY-20141020-0238-sirius.zip with pa_gapps-modular-micro-4.4.4-20141019-signed.zip via CWM-based Recovery v6.0.5.1.
When I connect the charger while the device is turned off , it is booting the phone / system. You can't have the device turned off and charge your phone.
Another strange thing is that on Statusbar there is no indication on the battery icon that a charger is connected.
Still the best behavior in general use from a custom rom I had till now.

Don't really know about the charger thing. If I remember correctly this also happens on CM.
Regarding the charging animation: you can change the battery icons color when you charge the phone. Battery Circle animations are rotating when charging. Check Settings -> Carbon Fibers -> Statusbar for more.

request for the future + notices in behavior
1)I wanted to use an mp3 as a ring tone and there is no way to do it without installing Rings Extended or similar ringtone picker from the market. It is sad to see that basic things are not included in a custom ROM that is supposed to be one of the most customisable ones. It is not so important but I would like to see a better ringtone picker in the future.
2)Also I don't understand why there is no app for music. Of course I can download from playstore or other sources from the internet but usually a ROM should have a default player.
I am using this ROM for 3-4 days now , it is far better than others. Actually my personal opinion is that it replace easily the official ROM.
3)I've noticed that while my screen is locked (black) , without hitting the power button , the screen lock appears for a second and after that the screen goes black again. I saw that 4-5 times this afternoon.
4) When I go to Settings -> Themes -> Wallpaper -> Carbon Wallpapers and try to apply a wallpaper , it applies it but not correctly. The image is shown on the desktop is less than half of the one shown in preview.
5) Using the app Messaging , when I write an sms with Greek characters , it gives me a 60 characters limit. I know this issue exists even in official Sony firmware. I also know that I could download GoSMS or similar app with local support , but I would like to know if there is a way to fix that with Messaging.
p.s
All of my comments are posted based on good will.
cheers !

I did that my friend "Settings -> Carbon Fibers -> Statusbar" but this doesn't fix the isue. I will try to "play" with it by choosing different styles and colours but I already did that with no luck. Maybe it will work ...
thanks for the reply

1) place the MP3 in a folder called Rintones on the internal storage and select it with the default Settings. (stock Android bahaviour)
2) We decided not to include any as Apollo seemed to have random issues at the beginning of KK.
3) Check Carbon Fibers -> Lockscreen -> Lockscreen Notifications and Active Display if you have Pocket mode activated.
4)The picture is to big You should be able to scroll if you have more than 1 Homescreen tho
5) Not that I know.
Regarding the PS: We always appreciate feedback and I never expected your posts not to be on based on a good will
bug ?

Pocket mode is not activated
as said about Carbon wallpapers , I don't know if it is cause the image is too big , because if I tap on the right button Set as Wallpaper fast before the image loads the big preview , it applies ok without problems but not all the times. there must be a bug there or something
and about the charging status , sometimes it works when you connect the charger, the icon on the status bar shows it is charging. sometimes not
So guys, check out my screenshot, i was checking out system apps and i saw that force touch is here. And i am using A2017G axon 7, i think it means that there must be a way to turn force touch on on A2017G/A2017U models. Just like we modded Chinese Theme Store to A2017G/A2017U models. There should be a way to turn it on and use force touch on all models. Can you modders please check out and try to find a way to do it?
Thank you.
It's because the devices use the same software, but not the same force-touch screen. This feature cannot be ported, because it is hardware-related.
The next time please don't post in the themes and apps category. This thread should have been posted in the Q & A category.
