Hello devs.. i am currently running the 7/11/10 version of slideme mr1 v4.. is it possible to take the messaging app, the lockscreen and the slide left to answer right to decline phone feature and put it into the slide mr 1 rom? I l know cm 6 is froyo based but the applications i seek are not.. (at least i dont think so) i know the gmail app is 2.2 only for sure. Can i take the phone.apk from cyan and use it in mr1 v4? Would that change the lockscreen also? And does anyone know how i can install the htc calendar that came wit the slide? It has the refresh option and kind of a black outer shell in the UI. And for some reason i cant install the gallery 3d.apk even though the change log says it was removed. genius button too. Thanks in advance ! You guys are always a big help when i get jammed up
I was wondering the same thing on a few options. Basically I just wanted the Facebook/Contact intergration add and I would be set with that.
Try it out and test your results... pull the apks from one update.zip and put them into the other update.zip then flash;
or .. pull the apks reboot into recovery adb push them to the /system/app folder...
post your results;
questions go in Q&A... a lot of these questions about compatability you just won't get an answer to; you have to test them yourself...
the reboot script i posted I straight up pulled out of a random rom for a samsung moment...

Don't bother....Sense apps do not work on roms they didn't come from....Especially since one is 2.2 and 2.1...Apps aren't all just backwards compatible, you cant pull rosie and put it into Cm6..Nope that wont work, sense apps rely on the "HTC" framework, which isn't in Vanilla roms. And no Cyan cant add the framework(exc htcmusic/IME). Sense is closed sourced unlike android.

Thanks for your feedback ! But you must have misread... i dont want to put sense apps on cyan 6. I want the lockscreen and the phone settings from cyan 6 to use on the 2.1 rom. I also would like to get the htc calendar back on the 2.1 rom im running because it originally came with the phone but for some reason this has just the regular calendar. And this 2.1 mr1 v4 rom is based off of the original rom that the slide came with so it should work. Does anyone know what apk has the information for how you answer or reject calls upon receiving them? Is it dialer or phone.apk ? Thx !
I am not 100 % sure but i think I remember reading that if you remove the lockscreen.apk that it will force the default android lockscreen ( the one you want to work) to work. If that doesnt work then I swear I can remeber one of clays roms had the expresso lockscreen taken out so if it is a APK then you can get it from there. I dnt have tome to check it out right now, but might be able to later.
Ok so i removed the htclockscreen.apk and the phone booted correctly.. but the lockscreen is now out of wack lol.. it still moves up and down like the original htc lock screen but it has the buttons of the lockscreen i want. so i cant slide left to right, i still slide up and down except it has the other buttons that you see in cyanogen 6 2.2 froyo
also i used the zip packeage that was provided at the top of that thread to change back to default lockscreen.. it worked but only to unlock the phone... i need the same thing for when i receive a call.. i want to slide left or right, not up or down to decline or answer calls
I was really hoping it woukd work. I wanted the original loccscreen too. Atleast you stopped me from trying now. There is. Neww rom out that mau be what you want but haven't had time to try it out myself yet.
yea me too... my phone is out of commission now because of removing all the apks and pushing and pulling and mixing rom elements lol ! ill flash a new zip soon and be back to normal tho.. which rom is that you speak of my good sir?
I Noticed that many developers are including the new Rotary Lockscreen in the recent roms that have been released, and thought I would create a thread entirely devoted to Custom Lockscreen Mods for our device. I don't claim to be a developer or themer, but however noted that we have some of the best themers and developers in the Vibrant thread so thought I would start a thread for those who would like to share some themed Lockscreen Mods. I have extracted several settings apk's from several roms and noted that they do work or are compatible with different roms. This thread in no way seeks to minimize the hard work of those developers who have included Rotary Lockscreens in their roms, but only seeks to stir up the creative juices of others who may want to share some of their work. Thanks!! Credit goes to Whitehawx & Hoey2011 for making this possible on our devices. Heres hoping that they will continue to bring their creativity to this thread along with other themers and their themed lockscreen mods.
Thanks to Whitehawx for getting this working on our device and shout out to Hoey2011 for these Lockscreen themes and Brick'd, RobZarzecki and others who supported this. More to Come in different colors and flavors! Stay Tuned!!
Hot Screenies
1st waves of morphs compliments of Hoey 2011. Flash with Metamorph and should be all good. NOTE: The star wars mod may not work after you apply this but the other 5 lockscreens work without a hitch. This is the 1st wave of morphs and all glitches that are found will be worked out accordingly. Whatever theme you are using should not be affected as shown in screenies using Danny Doans Theme with Hoey2011 themed Lockscreen with Rotary. Enjoy and Be on the lookout for more soon!

Yo RobZ im going to post a couple of framework apks and possibly a couple of those setting apks that we discovered works on particular roms just to get it started a little im still contacting a few people to just make sure its ok. Thanks to brickd he okd to post his saturated grey rotary framework and going to check with others also. Its nice to be able to change out lockscreens according to personal pref if compatible. Imagine if someone could develop a lockscreen changer this would be the business!
Hello everyone! Hmmm where to begin. I have done a little poking around regarding adding additional shortcuts to the rotary. I for one would like to have it show missed calls/texts on the center piece and you swing one way or the other to shortcut to it.
Something another dev in the fascinate forums PM'd me about was using the rotary to answer/decline calls. That would be freakin awesome. I'm going to be investigating this as I think it might actually be easier to do than what I said above.
Jcc, I like your idea for an app that can change out colors/themes/ect on the lockscreens. I'm going to do some talking with Roman later to see if we can't work something out for this (he's the java/app expert ).
I do have some other lockscreens I'd like to port over, including the multilock from CM and the iFail...err... i mean iPhone slider lockscreen. No promises on anything though. Anywho, its time to vape!
Whitehawx, I am using Axura 2.3 and when I flashed it the rotary lockscreen didn't appear in my list. I flashed it again and themed it with Gen x red and it still didn't show up. I wanted the rotary look so bad that I found the one attached in the market. Its called GOTO LOCK. If you look at it, I can roll the arrow to the right and hover over sms (my handcent) and it will preview my messages and the same for phone calls and my gmail. It also shows the number of each if any are waiting. Allows me to customize background as well. On the box up top it allows me to silence ringer, vibrate or turn ringer on and a few more gadgets as well. I think if you could incorporate something like this into rotary it would take it to the next level!
BTW...any idea why the rotary lockscreen didn't show up with the rom?
Thanks.

Hmmm I am unsure why the mod would not work, but doesn't Axura 2.3 come with the rotary lockscreen already? Flashing my mod should work, but you would lose all of your theming, ect. Seems odd that it wouldn't work though.

I dont know. Strange. Right after I flashed and went to into settings, display and unlock screen, it only shows the 4 options. Rotary is not even there. I didnt want to lose the theming from my Gen x red theme so that's why I downloaded the one from the market.

Yeaaa Whitehawx appreciate you picking up on this. One of the things I appreciate about EDT is they're a class act and are loaded with creative minds. Whitehawx thanks for responding to this thread and look forward to the freshness. Hopefully the lockscreen changer will come to fruition this would be hot.

Funny.....Lol. It's actually in the market. It's called GOTO LOCK. It's a buck 50 but well worth it. I only found it because the rotary that whawx created for the roms wouldn't show up when I flashed axura 2.3 and I really wanted a rotary unlockscreen.

Hey guys, I made a little mod of the rotary lockscreen for bionix V 1.2.1, based on the GingerBlue theme. Therefore, when you flash this zip, you will have a blue themed phone, only for what framework-res touches. There are no changes to tw-framework, so that apk is not included.
This is a clockwork flashable, and it clears your dalvik cache, so it takes ~3-4 minutes to reboot after flashing it. I was a bit worried because of how long I was having to wait after flashing, but then I realized I have 200+ apps, and that makes rebuilding the dalvik-cache a little time consuming. Screenshots included, here's the link to the mod:
http://www.4shared.com/file/ryMYzZYU/HoeyBWRotary.html
If there's enough interest in this sort of thing, I'll take whatever lockscreen ports there are to handle, and make them customizable for our Vibrants I'm a themer, not a coder heh heh
Edit: I suggest trying this with a black and blue theme, because that's what I designed this little inspiration after. the jog icons are black and transparent, not black and blue like the screenshots suggest, it's just the blue smoke from the wallpaper.
I added a space wallpaper to demo a little better the way it looks
EDIT #19390487: I will consider making these theme a Metamorph simply for the possibility of avoiding replacing the entire framework-res.apk . Metamorph may make it possible to avoid the time-consuming flash/dalvik-cache wipe process I am using now for the theme. Then again, everything has room for improvement, including this mod! Keep in mind, this is a *rough* draft of an idea, and the idea was made specifically for me. If you don't like it, then throw up some suggestions. I will give folks a run down in a separate thread from this, so you can have an idea of what I can change and the effects it will have. That way, this thread can stay open to new *actual* modifications, rather than just aesthetic ones. So basically, I am going to take what progress comes from here, and theme it to gooey goodness. I have a simplistic stylistic preference, but you all may not!
Where exactly are lockscreen-containing files located within the ROM?

Hoey dang that lockscreen is sweet!!thanks for joining the discussion. I'm going test this baby out. It looks Great. Please feel free to Share some of your Lockscreen mods. That's why I started the thread because I believe themers such as yourself as well as others could post the hotness!
@ Oxirane It's either the Framework_res.apk or The Setting.apk and using root explorer you can copy it in systems/framework directory and if you use the setting.apk you can copy it in Systems/Apps folder. It's funny though because I've discovered that on some roms the framework_res.apk file changes the lockscreen, and on others all you have to do is push Settings apk to Systems/Apps. Maybe someone could expound on it for us. Make sure before you push any file with rootexplorer on your phone. SAVE your original files so that if something goes haywire you can just recopy those files as it will give you back your original look before the push. You could also just flash a rom with it already on it also. Hope this makes sense! Chime back if it works for you.
Update: Unable to download from dropbox its giving a error message. Could you post the Mod here in the thread. Thanks.
Intro
First of all, this is not a module
I'm trying to port Gingerbread's TV screen on/off animation to Froyo. Those f**ckin cool animations are the only reason for me to use GB!. I'm happy with Froyo, as everything works, and smoother feelings.
Progress
- Screen on : Good.
- Screen off : Good.
- Animation when screen timed out : Good.
Release
May 27th, FroyoBeam source is pushed to my github : https://github.com/doixanh/X8Features
Notice
We (the X8 users) spent some time testing the animations in my FroyoBread, and it seems to be good. I modified CM6 source, so it may not compatible with some ROMs. If the compilation fails, check inside the published source and take the lines around "dx" to your ROM's source.
More notice
0. This is a work-in-progress. I don't care that it's on xda-news or not. This is my attempt to satisfy my need (GB animations on Froyo). And I saw somebody saying it should be finished before being posted on xda-news. Did you fully read the news?
This hasn’t been released yet, due to the developer wanting to make sure it works perfectly, and he has kindly asked that you do not ask when it will be released
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
1. This mod should be compatible with most devices
2. These animations cannot be packaged as an update.zip, because
3. Lots of things are modified inside the CM6 source, not modding xml files and so on, and
4. The "release" that I mentioned will be a source release, and is intended to be used by ROM builders.
5. End-users will have to wait for their ROM builders to rebuild the ROM with patched source.
6. My FroyoBread ROM is built with personal purpose, and for experimenting my source code modifications.
Enjoy, ROM builders and users
Great, so people like the animation too.
Well, what files that related to the animation?
gosh...this is what im waiting for ...old tv screen off..it's gonna be awesome
Are you going to make one specific animation, or are you getting a few of them? Or are there even multiple to choose from?
Also: is it a script that runs some animation files? What are these, gifs, mpgs, avis? Because we could create additional ones and simply replace the animations within the script (if it works like that).
Awesome can't wait !!
WTF guys? Don't spam this thread with something like "yeah I like that..."
Stop spamming until the topic doesn't contain [DEV]
I don't consider my post spam. I'd like to prepare new animations (if I'm able to prepare them in the output format), so I'm asking specific questions.
This is stock screen on/off animation from gingerbread. You can see the clip. It's nothing to do with new animation or output format.
It's hard-coded inside android source.
is it only for froyo? wat about eclair?
I am asking, what files that related to the animation? I want to know, not just saying i like the animation.
Oh, I see. I simply didn't know how it works And I believed that it is still based on some graphic files.
Well then, good luck porting it
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=10020365&postcount=26
You've probably already seen that but just in case
This CRT animation is burried in surfaceflinger an has lots of dependencies on gb changes. Many have claimed this to be impossible... please prove them wrong mate ;-)
Sent from my X10mini using XDA App
Yep I'm trying to do that ;-) It seems that I cannot "take screenshot" to make it as an GL texture for screen on...
aldee_s: it's in the source of libsurfaceflinger. You have to modify the source and recompile if you want to do anything
hoo, then i cannot do anything yet, because i dont have the source yet, cause my connection sucks, hehe, sorry, i thought i can help.
Well, good luck doing it, you're super(module)man.
sorry if you consider my posts here as spam.

There is an app that does something similar so it is clearly possible to do, just needs building into the system and then to replace the default power button action
Yeah I know that program. It does not work in case the screen is off after timeout, or when pressing power button...
Lockscreen should be modded for this to make this work.
Sent from my X8 using XDA Premium App
I don't have to mod anything with any lock screen....
/edit : uploaded first WIP clip. Check first post.
Update:
On/off animation is working, but only white/gray color. I still couldn't get the screen content to put into the texture. Will look deeper into this.
I managed to enable the animations while pressing power buttons. When the screen timed out, there is no animation. Maybe we have to look into power management service also...
Hi,
There is a package in Spike's thread for v5.0 for the battery percentage. My question is, can that be installed on v6.1?

v6 is a different base. So maybe wait for him to come out with one for v6 first. Should be any day now.

Thanks for the answer...
btw i have a little more questions...
after using v6.1... i realise that i am no longer able to take screenshots on my sgs2. the home + power button does not seem to work. is there a different way on this rom to take screenshots? or need another app?
also is there a way to remove homescreens? by default it has 5 screens, can i disable one or more of it?
last question, how do i configure to set the USB connect on default as usb storage instead of media server?

I really missed the days i can take a screenshot just with home + power buttons .Now i'm using a app to take screedshots(do a search in the market then you'll find many). Hope the CM9 team intergrate Screenshots in their work.
Are you using Trebuchet launcher ? If so you'll find the homescreed settings in Trebucher settings(press menu key in homescreen and select Trebucher settings) .
The media server is annoying to me too but now i'm trying to get used to it.Maybe you can try this out: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1389375

thanks to your reply i now know about trebuchet. now that helps me to reduce those unused homescreens. but some of the options does not work such as Dock and Icons. Ill have to start googling about this anyways...
but yeah i hope spike will add the screenshot. i dont want an app for that. better to intergrate it with the rom i think.
SPIKE, if you see this, i sincerely thank you for this awesome ROM. you have done great. I am loving every bit of it. thank you!
Guys,
I was reading the development thread, and now there is a 6.1 version. Somebody said that he updated from ROM 2.3.6 to Pure ICS 6.0...
I would like to be sure if this can really be done without having to install stock ROM first or something like that. I have stock ROM 2.3.5 with root, and I would like to know whether I can go straight to flashing Pure ICS 6.1 with Odin or not.
I am asking cause I have seen many different comments on approaches people have followed, and I want to know whether I can do this first or not.
Thanks!
The trebuchet is far from complete and still under development(pretty stable for a alpha release ,though). You can have a try at Nova launcher and see if it fits you.

I suggest you flash a sammy leak ICS ROM first , it won't take you so much time.

I was reading the development thread, and now there is a 6.1 version. Somebody said that he updated from ROM 2.3.6 to Pure ICS 6.0...
I would like to be sure if this can really be done without having to install stock ROM first or something like that. I have stock ROM 2.3.5 with root, and I would like to know whether I can go straight to flashing Pure ICS 6.1 with Odin or not.
I am asking cause I have seen many different comments on approaches people have followed, and I want to know whether I can do this first or not.
Thanks!

There should not be any issues. I flashed straight to 6.1 from a stock official release of 2.3.6. worked fine for me. did not have issues. just make sure to follow the steps provided carefully.

The trebuchet is far from complete and still under development(pretty stable for a alpha release ,though). You can have a try at Nova launcher and see if it fits you.

I suggest you flash a sammy leak ICS ROM first , it won't take you so much time.

I just flashed Pure Special Edition straight from one of the KI or KJs, everything works ok (Great rom btw) but I noticed the colors are slightly off. Almost like overexposure?
The color looks slightly faded and runny in and is quite obvious in videos and games. Wonder what's the issue here? should I reflash?
Cheers
Check Display - Screen Mode to see what it is set as. It is in Settings. You can make or more punchy there.

Screen Mode was set to Standard, and setting it to anything else make it look worse... However, the screen did look slightly better once I turned off auto brightness and adjusted it manually. Totally forgot that ICS had a problem with this!
However, I noticed that stuff like font edges isn't as sharp as when I was running stock. I guess I'll flash stock ICS tonight to check what the problem is...
pure ics 5.0 vs 7.1 battery life.
Hello. Why is my battery life 100% better with Pure ICS v. 5.0 than 7.1? is there a way to make 7.1 as great (im my opinion) in terms of battery life as 5.0? of course 7.1 is fully functional and I would like to keep it.
Thanks.
Transparent lockscreen
Hi all,
Does anyone know if spike is planning to get rid of the samsung lockscreen?
It would be so much nicer to have the stock transparent lockscreen as on the galaxy nexus.
Hopefully it will come round with 7.3.
For those who want to install AOSP Calendar in Spike 7.2, maybe can try flash AOSP Package for Pure ICS v7.0
ICS call screen
I wanted to know if there are plans to incorporate the in call screen from ICS into this ROM? I switched from CM9 to Pure ICS and so far it's the only thing about CM9 that I prefer.
You can ignore my above post, apparently this is a future theme change. Looking forward to when it actually gets implemented.

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
