I like the semi-transparent News and Weather widget I used on my EVO 4G, I threw the apk file onto my 3VO sd/card and it works like a charm, but it seems a little off, the weather part at the bottom seems cut off a bit ? Obviously it's due to the different resolutions between the two phones, I think ?
Is there a way for someone to re size it somehow to make it look right on the EVO-3D ?
Here is the file, from this thread;

Thank you
I am thoroughly pleased so far with the 2.3.4 atrix rom on my x2. The only thing i am lacking @ this point which i didnt notice till i went to watch a movie last night was no HDMI options in settings....
Is there anyway to go about getting this back?
I have the HDMI option in settings but when I use Netflix on my phone and hook it up to my TV the picture is turned on it's end. I cannot seem to find a setting to change that. Never had that problem pre-2.3.4
Yeah that's my only gripe with this ROM at this point, but it's kind of a big deal to me. Hoping for a fix soon.

You're going to need com.motorola.android.mirrorservice from the X2 version.
I feel stupid but i am not seeing HDMI in the settings menu anywhere... Is it labeled the same?
Under settings you should see HDMI. I'm running 0.3 and it's there. I have not made any mods.
Im on .3 as well... not seeing it.. just out of curiosity where did you start, before you flashed it?
It's there on mine as well, but nothing regarding mirroring like the stock x2. Love the ROM, but this blows. I switched to eclipse for this reason, but switched back because the camera is so much better on atrix and I get virtually no force closes.

Well appearantly if you flash from eclipse to the atrix HDMI is not in the settings menu...
I SBF'd back to the OTA gingerbread/rooted/flashed to atrix and HDMI is now there... new options as far as the ouput resolution but no scaling slider..
com.motorola.andoid.mirrorservice wont restore from tb i pushed it there manually but doesnt seem to make a diff.
Sorry this is slightly off topic, but I've have the same basic problem with P3's Pre-Rooted 2.3.3 all along and I'd love to fix it as well (especially since it's supposed to work in DX2's 2.3.3). It's never worked for me (I always got a black screen (no input recognized) when plugged into HDTV since the Gingerbread update). I later enabled portrait mode only by editing the build.prop line "ro.hdmi.mirror.enable=TRUE" (where it was false). As is well-known though, this DOES NOT allow landscape (the picture is sideways on the HDTV when phone is physically in landscape or playing video). I've read this exact case occurring with several 2.3.3 DX2's (as I've done copious amounts of searching on the topic) but I've never found a resolution. Is there any chance there is a known way to fix this? I'd be extremely grateful. Perhaps the fix for the Atrix ROM is related to this problem. Thanks very much in advance!

Ok so if anyone else is missing HDMI in there settings menu.. it may be because of a theme.. i had applied the cyan Icebream blur theme for atrix... once i applied it again the HDMI settings went away... good thing i made a backup before..
Paul of Modaco http://android.modaco.com/topic/348099-htc-flyer-honeycomb-leak-gets-an-update/ has gotten his hands on an 3.2.1 update of the HC for Flyer - still a leak but promising!
"It's been a while since the original HTC Flyer Honeycomb update Beta leaked... but today a new version has 'magically appeared'.
Now packing Android 3.2.1 rather than Android 3.2, the latest version wears the 3.41 version number (up from 3.10 previously) and while no new features are immediately obvious over the previous release, it does feel much smoother in operation.
Sadly, like the original leak, the install process is somewhat involved, but I'm documenting it now and will post full details for both Gingerbread users and users of the existing Honeycomb update shortly in the HTC Flyer forum. Stay tuned!"

Thanks for the update. It appears to me that actual HC update is imminent.
I will not update since do not like how HC takes up space due to the navigation bar. The Flyer already has capacitive buttons, so a complete waste of space on an already smallish 7" tablet. Compare the Flyer to the A100 and you will see the difference the loss of space makes.
Unless HC is like ICS and does not display the nav bar on devices with capacitive buttons, I will not update. Two nav bars with less display space is pure silly IMO.

If we are forced to have the on screen navigation bar, we should also get 360 degree rotation.

It would be awesome if there is a way for US Best Buy Wifi owners who have upgraded to install this. Is there a way to do this without reverting to GB?
This is exciting news indeed. Hope the official update will be out soon.
I recently upgraded a Dell Streak 7 to HC and had the same issue, screen real estate suffers (it's only 800x480) even worse. But I found an app that allows you to toggle the onscreen bar off and on since sometimes the other 'stuff' on the status bar is useful. I think it's called toggle bar. If I had the streak in front of me I could get the correct name. I'll get it posted tomorrow if someone else didn't post before I do. Or you can look at the Dell streak 7 forum for HC threads. I'm rather sure I got it here although I could have gotten it from the tablet ROMs forum.

There is currently no way to do this because the Boot, kernel, radio and recovery are different and not compatible. and you cannot write some of these unless you revert to GB.
I loaded the new system image and it does load. It seems to work fine other than that there is no Wifi. It says "error" under Wifi.

Using the Flyer with HC there are is no bar? HC has a bar on all current devices that officially have the OS, but none have capacitive buttons.
Dears,
I've updated to this 3.41 version after some struggle.
Now two issues;
1. How to root new HC 3.2.1? I noticed a program called "Honeybar" to hide the button bars but it says it requires root.
2. Can I use Fly Honey custom rom on this one or shall I go to first HC (3.2)? I think phone function was enabled at Fly Honey rom.
Thanks.

flyhoney is based off the first leak, so if you use that you'll be back to 3.2. The new leaked 3.2.1 is already rooted.

Is it possible to direct downgrade from 3.2.1 to 3.2 or first go to GB than 3.2?

Can't answer that question, but can tell you that the enabled phone function in Flyhoney does not work.

Did your Flyer work as a phone before Flyhoney?
I got my Transformer Prime earlier today (about 2:00pm to be exact) and I've been screwing with it all day. I love the way it feels and it made me very happy. The whole day I had also been postponing the update...
but I did it. I already miss the looks and feel that honeycomb offered. Yes, the ICS update may bring out the hardware a little more, but why did they "downgrade" some of the niceness of the GUI? The thing I liked about HC was that it felt different. It was a unique tablet OS that wasn't like anything else. Now that it has ICS, it feels like a bigger version of the ICS phone version. Long pressing home screens no longer brings up that convenient, pretty menu, but now just asks for the wallpaper location. The app drawer is no longer transparent and doesn't have that "fade" animation anymore, which I really liked. The home screens now have an unnecessary "dot counter" at the top and the default clock isn't the pretty blue one that I liked anymore. I feel like my first experience with the tablet is now history.
To top it off, the camera feels uglier and takes longer to snap photos. The flash is also messed up, because now when I take photos with the flash they are extremely bright and too white. Before, they would simply be brightened up a little bit.
I know some of this stuff can be fixed with app installs and stuff, but I really loved honeycomb and now I feel like the tablet isn't the same.
I agree whole-heartedly. I never expected to be saying it because I had been convinced by all the hype of how awesome ICS would be. Unfortunately, now that I've updated, I'm realizing that its no upgrade- lots of games/apps no longer work and the UI is only a shadow of its former self (see previous post). Hopefully someone will find a way to get these features to us, before we have to seek the next tablet.

I'm just hoping when the bootloader gets unlocked that someone makes an optimized honeycomb ROM. I know I'll be installing that for sure..
I think Asus rushed ICS on to the Prime. All the lock ups, freezes etc. Other than that I'm a fan of ICS. Honeycomb is an eyesore compared to it.
Well on top of that, all of the other stock apps seem to be downgraded as well. The calendar no longer has the nice coloring that it had before, the camera is now an ugly gray gradient color and is slow to take pictures, the lock screen no longer "ripples" and doesn't have the sleek animation that it had before, the homescreens now require more distance to swipe through (which is bad for me since I like swiping the corners a lot), the settings screen is all jumbled up, the clock is ugly, the gallery is now 2D and not as "nice" as the old one...need I go on?
ICS is such a downgrade for me. As soon as that bootloader gets unlocked I'm reverting to honeycomb right away.
I find the changes to UI in Android 4.0 as the best thing Android could have done. Native apps look sleek and modern, the sci-fi'ish/TRON coloring of UI itself is perfect for the culture it represents without being a bother for regular users.
I really, really love it.
But people are different, so it's interesting to hear some still prefer Honeycomb.
I love the style of ICS as well; the light blue / gray coloring is awesome. I'm just saying I really loved the black / blue honeycomb a whole lot more. It felt so much less cluttered and it felt "cooler" to me. Now I can't go back for at least a few more weeks
IcS OS the best thing to happen to Prime. Plus it was built for it anyways. People forgetting device was supposed to originally with ICS anyways. Yeah the long press feature on-screen of HC is missed but ill be OK..lol. too many people wanted ICS. ICS did fix alot of issues and speed things up nicely. If we would still be stuck on HC everyone would be crying about it. Plus ICS is the universal version. So phone version supposed to look similar. More n more benefits of ICS will show itself as more updates come. Probably with next update due anyday now.
I know what you mean and I agree with you. ICS definitely is a step forward and it was made to unify the platform and make everything better. My point is that I loved the way honeycomb felt and this is a little less nice in my opinion. Also to be honest I feel like it's slower now..but maybe I'm doing something wrong.
EDIT: Forgot to turn on "Force GPU Rendering" in development settings. It's super smooth now..like really smooth.
I'm glad I disabled my update. I was seeing all the problems people were having with updating to ICS. I think I'll wait until the bootloader is unlocked and we have a working CWM so I can do a nandroid backup before flashing any upgrades.
I'm so glad I've seen this, I thought I was the only one who preferred honeycomb on the prime.
Ics on my sensation = pure awesomeness
ics on my prime = just not as cool

I like it better (ICS) but where did Riptide go?
All I know is that when I pick up my original Transformer and use it for a few minutes, I'm missing the Prime pretty immediately--and ICS is one of the reasons. I just don't like Honeycomb...

I bet the Asus engineers scrambling to figure out the ICS lockup issue and hundreds of Primes owners with $500 paperweights would disagree with this.
Is it possible some of those pretty things in Honeycomb were Asus additions and with them trying to rush ICS out they didn't add those things? I agree, that I thought Honeycomb felt much more refined. I don't dislike ICS though.

Yup, ditto.
Just experienced my first lockup/freeze on ICS in the car today. Was testing the IPS+ brightness boost and when I turned it on, the device became unresponsive and rebooted after a few seconds.
There had better be a firmware update quickly, or the unlocked bootloader at least.
EDIT: The camera also now has a flash issue. If you use the flash to take a picture up close to something, the flash will make the picture extremely bright instead of just illuminating the photo; honeycomb did not have this issue. Former macro shots now look like flashbangs.
The only thing that sucks in ICS versus HC, at least in my opinion, is the garbage Gallery app in ICS. In HC, the folders were alphabetically ordered, and you could toggle between viewing only photos or videos. In ICS, the folders a completely random mess that cannot be properly ordered, and the video/photos toggle is gone. This is more on Google than Asus, as the gallery is equally crappy in ICS on my Galaxy Nexus, but it's annoying nonetheless.

Exactly. I know ICS is a great step forward, but it destroyed most of what I liked about honeycomb in the first place.
EDIT: Second lockup just occurred a little while ago while I was looking for an app on the Market. Ugh..
EDIT 2: Another lockup, literally 10 minutes after I turned my device on in the morning..went to select the camera from the lockscreen and bam. THEN, while it was rebooting, it locked up DURING THE BOOT and went back to the splash screen. This is kinda messed up.
Just had two lockups in a row within a 20 minute period. One in the music player, the other in the market (that makes two or three lockups I've had in the market alone so far).
I know everyone is having this issue but jeez..it's happening so frequently.
EDIT: Another lockup by loading up Barcode Scanner for the first time. Yes, I'm kinda using this thread as a way to keep track of my lockups, but maybe it'll help somehow.
So I bought a htc flyer on 2.3.3 and an Evo view with 2.3.4.
I am installing one in my car and am gonna use other as basic everyday tablet.
I have to update one to honeycomb as the dash trim will cover the physical buttons and honeycomb puts them on-screen. Just not sure what one I will put in the car yet. Evo views radio would help with gps i think.
Just wondering if I update the firmware does it go from 2.3.3 to honeycomb or does it have to step-up like first update goes to 2.3.4 and so on.

When I got my Flyer a few days ago, it did two OTA updates and is on 2.3.4. It says the Honeycomb 3.2 update is available but I'm not going to apply that because I want to keep the touch buttons on the bezel.
Unless you use a pen for input there is really no benefit to upgrade to HC IMHO.
Sent from my PG41200 using Tapatalk
Im not really into honeycomb for it either.
But Since im installing in the cars dash and the bezel buttons will be under the trim I need the on screen buttons. But at same time someone talked about gps problems in honeycomb, and thats its main use in the car.
Isn't there an app to put the back, home buttons on screen?
Maybe thats best bet
Go for it, GingerBread blows like a big old cell phone IMHO
Ive seen a few posts of GPS problems with honeycomb, now im leary about it. Thats a big reason why im installing it, for built in gps
I upgraded to honeycomb and I"m glad I did. I'll give HTC credit for modifying gingerbread to the point that it worked better on a tablet, at least what little I saw of it, but overall it's just not meant for a tablet. Honeycomb gives the tablet a much more "windows" look, and many apps are altered for it, and I like the virtual buttons better anyway.
As far as updating, it ran 2 GB updates on mine, one for sense I think, and the other was a security update.
For me HC is better because I can maximize stylus for taking note, etc..
I still missed the HW Buttons, althouh Leedroid rom activate the HW buttons but still not perfect (does not work on portrait)
