as the subject reads.
if the missed call fix is in the kernal then i would rather have that kernal with the Comm Rom. little quirks but the icons in the framework bar on top are big compared to the Comm Rom and i miss the rotary lock screen.
Yep! I had Evil Fascination 3.6 running like a champ with Imnuts's 8/4 kernel. Try it! If it doesn't work, you can always flash a new one =]

well figure if the ed05 kernal is 'suppose' to fix the missed call issue i can still use the Comm Rom 2 with the features it has and still benefit from the 'fix'. while the powerwash is a good rom, there are a few minor things that i can't seem to fix.
no rotary lock screen,
the icons on the status bar up top are BIG compared to Comm Rom

Hi, long time lurker, new poster.
I couldn't find any info on the G-tab forums on this, so I figured I would ask:
I am just wondering if any of the devs have considered tweaking their Froyo ROMs to replicate the bottom status bar tweak found in CM7. There are a few Froyo ROM's over on the Nook Color forums where this has been implemented (i.e. Nookie-Comb or http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=999214).
It seems like a mod like this would include the best of both worlds; smooth flash and the bottom status bar tweak similar to CM7. Just curious if it has ever been considered? If a Froyo ROM implemented this, I would probably hop back on that because of the speed and smoothness, but honestly I'm jonesin for the tablet tweaks in CM7 (mainly, bottom status bar), making my ROM of choice a GB ROM with choppy flash.
Any thoughts? Please correct me if I'm out to lunch.
try downloading the new VTL Launcher by GoJimi...its pretty nice

I agree! I did ask this in the Vegan thread and have received no response on it yet.
rbansal2 - I already use VTL Launcher and it is great but I like the CM status bar along with it.
VTL makes for a better tablet experience that's for sure.
Having bottom status bar in Caulkin's ROM would be mighty fine though.
VTL + button savior is a good alternative for the time being..
i read that the status bar at the bottom causes issues with the keyboard. Thats why they dont do it.
I love to use modified script / tweaked ROM's because of the speed, snappiness & obviously because it's awesome to have devs we love that work hard to bring us something better than "stock."
However, I remember clearly (every time I flash a new ROM (no matter how impressive & beautiful they are) that one of the real selling points for me was definitely the Samsung Vibrant's original "stock" theme (TouchWiz, not stock Android).
As far as aesthetics, there are very few (primarily status bar png's) things I always mod (Pitch black status bar BG, Honeycomb Accurate Battery MOD, sometimes white TouchWiz 2.3.3 wifi icons, I use the fonts from d4a, TouchWiz 2.3.3 data icons (cleaner, but "feels" TouchWiz, & prefer the large button Swype (beta).
Otherwise, I LOVE TouchWiz, especially the Samsung app icons - even though I left the TWiz launcher long ago) and would really appreciate not necessarily all answers...perhaps just a point in the right direction?
If you feel you've wasted your time reading this, I apologize. No need in flaming though. Thanks to anyone willing to take a minute to help me learn more. I love this stuff. Currently my worst obsession.
On to my questions:
Instead of "morphing" things, I mod png's with drag & drop via 7zip, sometimes prior to flashing, sometimes not [1] Is one method better than the other? (Pull & push with Root Explorer)
I've never had a problem doing step one [2] (maybe because of rebooting after the push & by not exiting Root Explorer before the reboot?)
[3] Can I damage the file system, scripts or optimization tweaks by modding png's like this?
I'm cool with APK Manager, Photoshop, swapping/modding png's, but I'm not comfortable taking a chance on messing up my OS to do this [REQUEST] on my own...
[4] [REQUEST] Are the dev teams willing/able to release each ROM with a stock TouchWiz theme for their ROM, or is there an easy way for ME to do this (without screwing anything up)? I know how to MetaMorph, NinjaMorph, etc...but nothing much about development.
Right now I'm running the 04/14/11 Stock TouchWiz KB5 Deodexed Leak with Voodoo, and it is fast & quite impressive.
With KB5 modem, battery is great but data & phone signal are Edge/1 bar @ home. With KA6 or KA7 modem, decent battery, 3G & H @ home, with 3 to 4 bars!
[5] Can running a KA6 modem on a KB5 hurt anything?
I want to be on the Ported KB5 2.2.1 because I want the latest US version (less bugs in my experience), but in Stock TouchWiz.
I realized the port wasn't the Touch Wiz I was expecting, so I switched back to Stock 2.2 KB5.
[6] Can I flash EDT's 100% Stock 2.2.1 theme over the V4G's KB5 2.2.1 port, or will it change the ROM •besides its png's•?
I still don't understand how is it possible to use a theme that works for both Bionix & Trigger...it doesn't make sense to me. [6] Is it because the MetaMorph only affects aesthetics (drawable hdpi)?
And if so, [7] I should be able to Metamorph any 2.2.1 with it, right?
[8] It's easy to MetaMorph flying animations in Trigger, etc...but how do I do that with a Samsung Stock Deodexed ROM?
Thanks a lot. I hope my questions help more than just me!

I was wondering if you can run a tw launcher on the new comm rom call me weird but I like it better than the one in comm rom

I don't see why not... If you're just wanting the look I know Go Launcher Ex from the market has a touchwiz theme that looks pretty accurate and neat.

Well I remember in the thread the said flashing it left some issues im using ef for now though comm rom and ota did this funky thing with my cantact pics where they flashed and went crazy

hmm well a reflash and/or data wipe seems to fix a lot of bugs like that that I have with any rom im using... however I think one of the main reasons custom roms are made is to get rid of or modify stock touchwiz and the launcher. It might take a little extra work to get a touchwiz launcher to work with E.F. or ComRom, which I unfortunately can't help with. A theme seems like a suitable substitute that won't cause as many problems, so that's my recommendation

Supposedly FunkBot's TW 4.0 launcher has been updated to work with Comm Rom 2.0 (check his thread in Themes & Apps), but I've been having lots of crashes with it, particularly when trying to use my docks. If anyone has a link to a TW 3.0 launcher that works with Comm Rom, I'd love to hear about it; I like the debloat in Comm Rom, but the TouchWiz launcher design has grown on me quite a bit relative to the alternatives.
There are so many GB roms out there now. What's the difference between miui and say Simply Honey? I've only ever used that and Simply Stock. Is one better than the other as far as performance or is it more visual? Thanks!
Simply Stock 2.3.5 JVS w/ 1.2 Talon Kernel. Badass Rom \m/
Miui is mostly visual it is an overhaul of android ui its also fast but i multitasking menu is slow to start when playing games but it is cool also its smooth over all battery is avrage to bad 8-12 hrs in my experience an other gb roms is samsung roms on steriods an battery is great 12-20 for me froyo like 14-24 an its regular android with twiz on top of it an the browser is lag free on jvs an jvr roms an i prefer sammy gingerbread because its better over all

If I may explain in a slightly less feverish run-on-sentencey way than Jason, MIUI is built from the ground up, while most other Gingerbread ROMs are based on leaked i9000 ROMs from Samsung.
MIUI has a unique launcher that does away with the app drawer, instead putting all apps on your home pages which are easily organized into folders of your choosing. It also has many special features you can't find in the leaked i9000 gingerbread ROMs. For instance, long pressing a toggle like wifi or bluetooth will open up its settings.
MIUI is also, in my experience, a much smoother experience than Froyo and even leaked Gingerbread. The launcher has no lag with only a mild overclock, and apps load quickly. Even the phone itself starts up quicker than with other ROMs.
The best part of MIUI is in the customization by way of theming. All those special lockscreens that require custom ROMs and flashing to use? MIUI allows for anywhere from single swipe to, I'm not kidding, 15 button lock screens simply by downloading them through the online theme collection. You can change your icons, status bar, lock screen and wallpaper, dialer, SMS, and more by simply downloading a theme online through MIUI, and can even mix and match various components to your liking. SMS from Blue Dado Black combined with an animated lockscreen from some indecipherable Chinese name and a font from the Evolver theme, and on and on.
That's just the tip of the iceberg. If you want to know more, read the MIUI threads in the Development section. For me, I can't imagine leaving the ROM without something catastrophic happening.
Thanks man!! I'm gonna give one a try tonight.
One quick question, if I have the gb bootloaders I need to Odin the froyo one right? Also need to be on stock 2.1 or .22

Yes, you'll need a Froyo bootloader. I just installed Lithium V2.1 MIUI and wow, it's super cool. I'm trying to figure out the lockscreens.
of all roms that I have tried Simply Stock 2.3.5 JVS w/ 1.2 Talon Kernel is one badass rom!!!!!!!!!!! it is super fast with 0 bugs or forced closes and I have no desire to switch it for any other "pretty rom"

I have never tried a jv(anything) Tom but I did try every froyo I could get my phone on and I did miui in early augustvand it was a constant flash back and forth from cm7 to that.
I have noticed occasionally lag while loading apps like cnet tv and games (using chainfire pro).
What was the last miui you tried? I must say l, miui as is really stable and still fast, lithium rocks in speed, stock is my face so far when the powermod is applied.
I could not justify staying off of froyo until now.
Miui launches apps fast but are they faster once loaded in Samsung base rom's?
Also it has been since august that I tried any cm7 nightlies since gr90, is it just me or has miui surpassed cm7 in stability with less maunual fixes?
One thing is that the speaker on off for people to hear me is still happening on every miui I try
Hey guys,
I recently installed the Bionix-V FishmanMod 1.3.1 version and am having some issues with the Notification pulldown option. When I pull down the top bar to show the notifications, there is a lag, and it is VERY choppy as it opens. However, closing the notifications is relatively smooth. I tried turning off the animations in the Display menu, but that did not change anything.
Anyone else experiencing this?
Fixed
I installed the latest update -FISHMANMOD and the BlueMyst Theme and now everything is SMOOOOTTTHHH as butter. I love this.
Also installed the ICS fonts, and it's amazing how something that simple changes the whole UI feel.
The Bionix developers and Fishman are awesome.
that's good, I didnt have that issue and im testing it with the stock theme from the rom, you might wanna update your post title and write (fixed) at the end of it
Sorry to hijack your thread here but I'm running V1.3.1 with the ICS theme and i find it running really well, is this fishmanmod that much better than stock 131 to make it worth the hassle of resetting everything on my phone? Perhaps i should ask in that thread as well. Thanks

I personally think it is, much more stable if anything, and the slight speed increased helps too, bionix is already a great rom but fishman just makes it even better and more stable, havent had a force close yet and battery life is great
My notification pull-down is choppy sometimes (not a lot), but I don't think it's the rom as much as it is the crap running on my phone. It's nothing that worries me.
