Also I'am trying to get an EVO or Droid-X and my Fundsalo so if you could please please help me out with a donation or a hand out of any kind i would really really appreciate.........Nah im just kidding if you really want to help out donate to the CyanogenMOD devs
Thank you so much for this
Sweet, gonna try it out! Thanks.
Good work!
I fixed the keyboard issue but because I don't know how to do a fix file all I can do is re upload the entire rom if anyone wants it
Sent from my HTC Espresso using XDA App
fn keys need remap?
Does that mean the func keys don't work?
So there is no way to make #s or symbols with the kybd.
I am using adw so most of the sense stuff does nothing for me but waste cpu cycles, a vanilla or cyanogen would be perfect for my situation, but my big fingers don't lend themselves to using an on screen keyboard but thanks this just may work for me till there is a new release
Bhang
He's just missing a few files for the keyboard mapping. The FN keys still work but they are mapped to another keyboard setup
I'd appreciate the fix or a walk through to do it myself
Here's the keyboard and rotate fixes, playing around with A2SD now but I have a feeling it's out of my league

this rom is awesome but is there anyway to remap the genius key? i tried the guide but it has mapping for keys we dont have and so i dont know wich one to change.
Thank you for posting this! I have been waiting for 2 weeks since I got my slide to be back on 5.0.8 coming from a G1. I have a few questions.
1. There are still a few keys that aren't mapped and I'm sure you are aware of this, home, back, menu, and search from the keyboard, and of course the genius buttin (I'm about to work on these and will report when I'm done mapping)
2. Two things I really liked and found useful with stock Slide and I assume are part of HTC Sense apps are a) the ability to search the company directory from contacts and b) exchange calendar support.
Am I correct in assuming we cannot push these apps through adb because we would need the HTC framework? Thanks
EDIT: I pushed the Calendar and Contacts apps from stock over this and as I predicted, FC City! Thank goodness for Nandroid...

enter the shell command: getprop hw.keyboards.0.devname

Current working on that, Swype, and A2SD
I'm on #teamslide IRC, I'll try and help any way I can and suggestions are welcome
Thanks for fixing all these issues!
Other issues I've noticed:
* Wi-Fi suddenly became a little flaky and unreliable. I disabled it and enabled it and it was back to normal. Might have just been a fluke.
* Camera button turns the camera on but doesn't take pictures and doesn't lock in the focus.
* When the screen is locked and off, pressing the trackball doesn't light up the screen like it does on the original Slide ROM.
*** [07/08/2011] Free version FIX! *** There WAS an issue with this app not working for putting he NOOKcolor to sleep in the latest CM7 nightlies, including CM7.1RC, and BN 1.2. I have just released a new FREE and DONATE version with a configuration option to fix this! Sorry for the delay!
DONATE version with transparency, custom color, sizes, icon style, and reboot/poweroff/ask options on press:
http://market.android.com/details?id=com.otis8.nookpowerfull
LITE (free) version with no options, sleep button only:
http://market.android.com/details?id=com.otis8.nookpower
Update, v0.4.2 (DONATE version)
* Added configuration option (when placing the widget) to fix the sleep issue not working in newer builds of CM7 and (hopefully) BN 1.2.
Update, v0.2.1 (FREE version)
* Added configuration option (when placing the widget) to fix the sleep issue not working in newer builds of CM7 and (hopefully) BN 1.2.
Update, v0.4.1 (DONATE version)
* Attemped bug fix for an annoyingly spurious force close issue
v0.4.0 (DONATE version)
* Added four icon size options
* Now choose from three icon styles
* New icon preview area during configuration
v0.3.1 (DONATE version):
* Fixed possible issues with power off sleeping instead.
* Removed need to wait for power off dialog confirmation. When you press "Power Off," you mean it!
* Important! "Power Off" is now immediate on widget or dialog choice press, similar to reboot! No longer does it wait for the standard Android power off dialog!
v0.3.0 (DONATE version):
* Added full custom color options
* Added reboot and poweroff on press options
* Added option to ask what to do in a dialog popup when pressed
* Added ability for multiple widgets with different color, transparency, and action when pressed
* Now requests root access when configuring the widget
Description, from the Android market:
*** FOR ROOTED NOOKcolor USERS ONLY! ***
NOOKcolor Power Button is a home screen widget that (guess what) is the SAME THING as pressing your power button. So it puts your device to sleep/reboot/poweroff, without reaching for the hardware power button.
This is not just an app that blanks the screen, which is why it requires root. It actually emulates a real press of the power button on your device.
Seriously...it doesn't work at all if you don't have adequate root access to your device. Root access is required for real power button emulation if you are running Eclair (Android 2.1) on your NOOKcolor. It also works with Froyo (and Honeycomb?) as well.
Please contact the developer (me, the OP) with any issues!
very nice... just installed via market and its running nice.

What kind of toggle? This is a one-shot widget, not really a toggle of sorts...
I ran into some interesting issues at first with another app of mine that has a widget that toggles -- Softlocker (the donate version has a widget). PM me with specific details of what you want help with, so we don't clutter this thread.
Thanks! I've been wanting something like this.
Could someone explain to me what the draw is? I don't own a NC yet, but I'm interested in what makes this an attractive app. I'm genuinely interested, but I can't find a way to type my question without it sounding sarcastic.
Thanks!

It's ok, I understand. I'm the developer of the app, and it was just a little side project I came across while working on something else.
Anyway, the draw of this app is simply that I don't like always having to press the physical power button to put my NOOKcolor to sleep, it isn't the most amazing placement or feel to it, and I can make apps, so I did.
And somebody 1-starred it already, without leaving a comment as to WHY or what they thought was wrong...awesome. That is so lame and unhelpful. The app is dead simple -- if you have true root access, and a NOOKcolor, it should work without fail.
Can any of you who may have downloaded it please give it a rating in the Market?
MAN that chaps my hide...

Sure, if I make a new one. What do you want? I suppose I could pretty easily make an option that is dark instead of light, if that is what you are going for.
Great app, i use something similar on my N1 to save the power button.
Suggestion: besides color options would it be possible to have the option to set the transparency?

Possible, yes. I believe I have opened a can of worms, haven't I!
Would it be worth a cheap "donate" version of the app to have a couple of color options and the ability to set transparency? I might do it for free as well, though.

Thanks for sharing your work; it gracefully puts the screen to sleep, unlike the power button, which flashes brightly before shutting the screen off (dunno if others have this issue as well). Thanks again!

You're welcome!
I'm not sure if I have noticed the flash you are talking about on my NOOK, though. Interesting.
Works great.. a 50 cent option to adjust colors, size, icon and transparency would be a nice addition..
i just downloaded your app and it works great. you should definitely post a donate version on the market. color setting + transparency are easily worth a buck or two.

Welcome to the first release of AOSP+
AOSP+ is a collaboration ROM from myself and Lloir. Lloir enjoys using pure vanilla AOSP whereas I have always enjoyed the features from CM or AOKP. After trying out AOSP I was impressed with its speed and smoothness and found I actually only missed a few small things from those other ROMs so decided to port over just those features. The result: AOSP+
For all the changes over AOSP, see the second post.
All code that is not built directly from the google repositories can be found on github here https://github.com/AospPlus/
Other apps included in the ROM:
Superuser by Koush
LockClock from CM - much as Lloir hates it, i quite like it so it's gone in
Torch from CM
ShareLogs from cornedor - we will provide NO support unless the logs from this app are included with your post!
PerformanceTool from cornedor
We welcome suggestions of other things people like from other ROMs that you want included but we want to try and keep all changes as light as possible to stay as close to AOSP as we can. Also, feel free to add your own features and make pull requests to our repos to have them included.
Known Issues...
MHL, as with all non-sense ROMs
The boot.img included will not currently work well (or at all) so use the latest BLADE-42 kernel from maxwen (link below)
As these builds are very close to vanilla AOSP, updates won't come regularly but only as AOSP itself gets updated or if there are other features we implement
Downloads
BLADE kernel
ROM (MD5: d8a5ad3b0ff92930bd9d0d7abca98d60)
GAPPS
Installation
Install kernel from bootloader
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot-BLADE-42-201305280126.img
A factory reset and system wipe is always recommended (use Titanium to backup/restore your apps and data) but may not be required. If you have issues, please try and recreate them after a factory reset/system wipe before reporting them.
Install ROM and GAPPS from recovery
Wipe cache/dalvik
Reboot.
Thanks to...
Lloir for the device tree
Maxwen for his kernels
corne for his PerformanceTool and ShareLogs tool

we don't want this rom becoming a mashup rom like pacman and so on, which are highly unstable and cause massive issues with apps on the market....so if people want to recommend stuff sure, but not all will be accepted
Been using this rom for a good day now and I must say that it sure is incredibly smooth! So great work boys
Nice!!! :good:

Xtended NavBar
Xtended NavBar is an Xposed Framework module that adds an extra functionality to the navigation bar.
Swipe from the edges to change to Music player or Quick settings. Swipe back to show the navigation buttons again.
In the donate version you can also show favorite apps.
Playstore | Xposed Repo
Compatibility:
This module was developed for AOSP based roms. Don't expect it to work on heavily modified non AOSP based roms like Sense, Touchwiz.
Should be compatible with some other navigation bar customization modules.
It's recommended to do a nandroid backup if you're using the app for the first time.

I've got SlimRom nand backup too, I'll try it on there.
EDIT: Yeah, doesn't work on that either, I think both are based on CM11 though if that makes a difference. Also, I had changed the choice of navigation bar buttons, would that matter?]
I use menu, home, back and long pressing on back brings up recents.
If it helps, My face unlock also didn't show when I disabled the nav bar, when I enabled it again, back came the face unlock.
In other views...I wish xposed would go on the play store and have integration so your choice of modules could be saved under your google account.
I wish this was open source...
I really would like to use this one!
Very cool, nice job! I'm excited to use this.

You've done a better job than what I planned actually. I was going to have a button on the very left of the bar
When you pressed the button the Home button would become Play, Back would become Rewind and so on
When you pressed it again it would turn back
Never even thought if swiping :good:

I think it's already difficult to open sometimes, so i don't believe this is a problem. I might add this anyways in a future update.
overflow:hidden;
AKA Remove Action Overflow Button
"Because naming your module after a CSS rule is fashionable and socially acceptable!"
A simple module that completely removes the action overflow button from various apps. Useful for people that have a hardware menu button on their device and don't want to see the superfluous button on action bars.
This is similar to another module: "Noverflow" by el1t. However, my implementation should be more thorough in removing the overflow button from sometimes-stingy apps, such as Google Chrome.
Only tested on 4.4 CM-based ROMs, but it should work on previous versions of Android (anything 4.0 ICS or newer should be okay), as well as ROMs that aren't CM-based. If not, let me know and I'll try to resolve the problem.
Thank you to GravityBox for originally implementing the important lines of code!
Instructions:
Download, install, enable and reboot. No configuration interface included, nor is one necessary.
Changelog:
Code:
v1.0:
Initial release
v1.1:
- Removed overflow button in AOSP calculator app (thanks, Micks29!)
- Added try/catch blocks for safety
- Bumped up minSdkVersion to 14 (will change if I can make older Android versions compatible)
- Minor addition to app description string
v1.2:
- New name and icon!
- Only attempt to hook methods if user's version of Android has original methods properly implemented
v1.3:
- Removed overflow button in AOSP browser app (thanks, a4apple!)
- General project clean-up (APK file size has been significantly reduced and leftovers from previous project name have been purged)
- Compile project based on Java 1.7 to make use of some handy new development techniques
- Added TODO notes within project's source to inform anyone interested in my pending tasks
v1.4:
- Ensure the overflow button in AOSP browser app is correctly being removed
- Change a few fields to help prevent the overflow button from being shown in some apps, in some cases
- Use the latest Xposed API (d'oh!)
v1.41:
- Found and removed yet another instance of the overflow button in the AOSP browser app

I thought Google forced the overflow button in Android versions that came /after/ Gingerbread. And I also forgot that a back-port of Xposed for Gingerbread even exists.
I can lower the minimum required version of the module, but if that doesn't work for you, I'll try to implement a workaround.

On second thought, I don't think lowering the minimum SDK version would help. Here's what I found out:
Google didn't implement the necessary classes that the module hooks into until 4.0 ICS (for one of the hooks) and 4.1 JB (for the other hook). So whatever apps you're using on 2.3 GB must have their own non-standardized implementations to display the overflow button.
Which apps in particular are you having trouble with?

in telegram messenger. i contacted them to include an option to remove that menu button if one's device has a hardware menu button. still didn't get that,so i thought this module might help.
Thanks for the info. I'll look into it for you.
You may be in luck.
Certain action bar features are able to work in older Android versions due to a support library, and I'm pretty positive Telegram Messenger uses ActionBarSherlock to obtain this compatibility.

It's pretty common, so I wouldn't be surprised. I'll find out for sure tomorrow.
I'm also going to experiment with Daniele Segato's v7 support library tomorrow as well.

Thanks. I'll look into that as well.
Let me know if there are any other base apps with the overflow button still visible.
Well, I couldn't sleep and decided to get my coding on.
v1.1 changelog:
- Removed overflow button in AOSP calculator app (thanks, Micks29!)
- Added try/catch blocks for safety
- Bumped up minSdkVersion to 14 (will change if I can make older Android versions compatible)
- Minor addition to app description string
Looks like you got your wish, Micks29!
Actually, do me a favor and test out the calculator app with v1.1. I'm pretty certain the button is removed now, but when I uninstalled the module to verify certain apps were again displaying the overflow button, the button that normally shows up in the calculator is still missing. Not that I'm complaining, but it's not the behavior I was expecting.

I just tried to disable mod, reboot and the overflow button is back so the behavior is ok for me.
What about a module name more short? R.A.O.B for example...anyway it's not a big deal
I think I just need sleep. That might explain everything.
As for a shorter name, I originally had "overflow:hidden;” in mind, based on the very useful CSS rule. But Android Studio gave me crap because of the colon and semicolon. Maybe I'll try again later?

Overflow Hidden sounds very good!
Good night
v1.2 changelog:
- New name and icon!
- Only attempt to hook methods if user's version of Android has original methods properly implemented
What do you guys think about the AOSP Clock and Phone apps? There are overflow buttons in those apps and the hardware menu button doesn't seem to do anything.
Do you think it would be tasteful and worthwhile to bind the menus to the hardware key instead and remove the overflow buttons? Or keep it the way it is?

Good idea for Clock app! But for Phone app I think that will be not esthetic to have a blank space on the right side relative to other buttons (call log & dialer buttons).
What if the keypad/phone icon took the position of where the overflow button was?

hmm.... if we can have the option for that, it would be great. For me, I did use the overflow button on those apps. Can you please remove the overflow button on the aosp browser as well?
