I'm running a custom ROM at the moment and it had cLock installed, which from experience, makes the lockscreen clock abnormally small. I've been just dealing with it, but it's getting annoying. How can I fix this or revert it to the old size. If I slide down and then drag to the left, the old "big" style clock will show up, but upon sleeping and waking up the phone, the tiny clock comes back. So, anyone?
Thanks in advance!
Its seriously hard to help with no mention of what rom, what device, and so on.
I will guess on the device, Verizon, but at far as the rom, many have different things that may or may not work.

I'm running ProjectOdex right now, but I've had this issue on Synergy, Beans ROM, and Hyperdrive.

This ROM is called NiteUI and, as far as I can tell, it seems to be a mix between the Windows Phone 7 UI and Android. It seems interesting to say the least. Has anyone tried it and, if so, what do you think of it?

That isn't a rom, it is a theme.
Wow. I feel like an idiot now. But, before I ask to have this thread closed, the i777 should be able to use this theme since, according to the guide, it doesn't require flashing?
As far as I can tell all of the theme can be used on ours except the status bar will require some work on your end to replace the images and icons as it is a dark theme for miui, unless you know smali it's gonna take some time to get the icons moved to the opposite side of the status bar.
It seems like getting this look would take a lot of work. And, really, I don't think it would be worth it seeing as there's a possibly we could have a functional version of CM9 by the beginning of March. I think I'll just pass on this and Hellraise VillainRom, which I've been meaning to try for sometime now. But thank you for the help anyways!
Hey -- Am I crazy? I was cleaning up my Electrify folder when I found my Nandroid from stock MotoBlur. Unlocking wiped everything, of course, but I had made a backup with Titanium and simply restored from that, and then replaced the Nandroid with my full app loadout. And then flashed CM9 and never looked back. Until today. I thought "what the hell" since I was already running CM7. Is stock really all that bad? That's what I was wondering... so I restored it. So... many... updates... Not to mention a lot of stuff I just quit using. So a lot of stuff got uninstalled, too.
(Funny story. I did not want GO Launcher EX, so I tried to set Blur Home as default. It wouldn't do it. I couldn't clear GO as the default, either! So I uninstalled it. Big. Flipping. Mistake. Somehow, GO erased Blur Home. I'm quite sure I wouldn't have done that myself. Or something. But I had no launcher whatsoever. Home key didn't work. Back took me from app to app. Android really didn't know what to do. At one point it dropped me on the lock screen (Widget Locker) and I couldn't leave it. So I rebooted. Fortunately, Holo Launcher had finished downloading, and that greeted me when I booted up the phone again. I don't know what would happen if you tried to boot a phone without a launcher. Speaking of which -- anybody have a spare Blur Home I can have? I don't want to use it, I just think I should have it in my \system\app folder just in case.)
First full charge, I got not even 4 hours before I hit the 15% warning. Ouch! But I know there's a lot of "extra" stuff in Blur that nobody wants (tracking stuff). So, that got me wondering. Before the ICS/JB bug hits again, what's y'all's favorite Blur-based ROM? Only condition is, everything's gotta work. That's not usually a problem with GB ROMs because the devs have the source. Then again, CM7 can't stay on WiFi when the phone sleeps, so not all GB ROMs are perfect. I'm just wondering if there's a good, lean and mean Blur-based ROM out there.
I love peetr's rom. I've been averaging 16-24 hours of battery life with some custom setcpu profiles. All the functionality of stock and some cm7 goodness. Its sad to hear he's leaving for the xperia t in a couple weeks but he's a great developer and contributor to the community.

I've heard a lot of great things about peetr's ROM, but the topic title says it's de-Blurred. But it has all the functionality of stock? I may have to check it out.

Honestly, the only true blur rom that worked well I can remember is the jokerstock rom from way back when. Most others are based on old code or have been trimmed/deblurred. Rocko (Ed hidalgo)blur rom's have had some issues since that last time I checked.
I suppose you could sbf, root, and then tweak and trim off bloatware you wont need (there is a list of what is safe to remove) and then theme to make a new blur based ROM.

Ah, fair enough. Thanks.
Live ROM. It's primary purpose is to duplicate many elements of Blur without the Blur overhead and remove carrier bloat. It about as close as you can get to stock without it being stock and has been used as the first step in building lightweight ROMs like Nothing But Speed on the Defy. It's also hard reset safe.
Out of nowhere, the bottom buttons stopped working today. I was on a Sense ROM (ICS Business) and I figured it was just software related. I tried 5 or 6 different ROMs, even went back to stock. Has anybody else had this issue before? If so, is it hardware or is there a way to get this working again?
For the interim, I just installed an AOKP Rom (Neo 1.5 Linaro) because it offers the software replacement navbar. Out of curiousity, does anybody know what other ROMs may offer the same software replacement?
I was going to look at Neo Rage (1.6 Linaro), but it's listed as AOSP and I'm not sure it offers them or not. I assume there are no Sense based ROMs that offer this?
Thanks!

In any AOSP rom you can enable the soft keys. Some roms you have to manually edit XML files to get them though. In sense, you can't add them
Thanks. I'll poke around some other AOSP ROMs as well. I never really paid attention to them mainly cause I had no use for them heh. Now I really don't have much of a choice.

Did you run any of the mods to dim the lights? I know I run a mod that scripts this change and I wonder if that's sticking and not playing nice with the other roms. Do you have anything for dimming the lights in:
/system/etc/init.d? if so maybe remove that

Ok, looks like I am not the only one, sorry to dig up this old thread, but my Capacitive Buttons stop working today.
I did not install any app, or made any changes and had been using the same (Niles Business 3.6) ROM since Jan.
I never have that dim Capacitive Buttons script.
I did not drop the phone recently either.
I am going to try INFECTION and see if it can tie me over until I get a new phone.
Oj, my guess here is something happened to the digitizer or digitizer ribbon cable. Have either of you had your phone disassembled anytime? If it's not the digitizer and software related, a hard reset or new ROM install should have fixed it no questions asked......
unless some other piece of hardware in this phone has taken a dump. .?
No, the phone had never been taken apart. The only thing that happens to the Rezound, was that I dropped in about 3 ft on asphalt, and it only had a few minor rash on the frame (the shiny part), and that happened many months before the capacitive buttons died.
I am added the info below to hopefully help others that have this issue.
Installed INFECTION, followed Neo's direction (below), and it has a usable phone again.

I recently flashed my Samsung Fascinate with PowerWashed Team's PWGB Version 2.0 (Beta 3). I'm terribly new to using custom ROMs, but I'm quite pleased with the results. I've only had one concern with this ROM regarding the back light on the soft keys. They light up every time I touch my screen or press a hard key.
I've attempted to find a setting for this in the OS and in CwM Voodoo Lagfix Recovery v2.5.1.x screen, but wasn't able to find such a setting (Again, I'm very green so it could be right under my nose and I simply don't know it.)
I also attempted to install myriad apps to keep the back light off on screen touch including:
Screen Filter (No effect)
Night Mode (No effect)
Light Flow Lite - LED Control (No effect)
Light Manager - LED Settings (This app actually stops the back light from coming on, however it's unpredictable and works >15% of the time)
I've also done a lot of searching on the matter. I've seen where others have stated the problem, but none where there was a solution or enough information for me to further investigate a way to fix this. It's also been complicated to find information due to a variety of search terms (soft keys, led, etc.) yielding results about the camera or other things that are unrelated to my issue coupled with my lack of direct knowledge on the matter.
I'd really appreciate any advice on either directly fixing this or a source of information so I may learn more from what is causing this behavior and fixing it myself. Thanks, everyone for all the time and effort you've put in for making things like this accessible to individuals like me. I can't tell you how much I appreciate it.
This behavior is a product of the kernel, and most people find it desirable. If you install the kernel control app nstools, you should see an option called cmled timeout, allowing you to set the led backlight timeout.

Thanks for the information! Unfortunately, the ROM I flashed has a stock kernel and doesn't offer this option. So, I suppose that's the first thing I need to address, but now I know where the problem lies! Thank you so much for your time and input, I'll put it to good use.
Are you saying the back lights light up even if you just touch the screen? That's strange, they only have ever lit up for me when I actually touch a soft key or hit the power button to wake the phone up.
Well good luck, I'm not sure what kernel is best for GB as I started flashing custom roms during ICS and I'm now on Jelly Bean and never going backwards.

Yes, exactly this. It is really odd and very bothersome when trying to read at night. Even if I use the volume rocker to turn the page the lights will come on. It's maddening. I'm currently looking at the kgb kernel, but I think the nstools led option isn't actually going to address this quirk. (Directly, I believe I will end up disabling the led altogether)
If you don't mind, what rom did you choose?(Ignore, I was on mobile and did not see your signature at the time)
How has the performance been? I'm interested in doing the same, but was afraid my fascinate wouldn't handle jb very well.
Well needless to say it's different for everybody when it comes to roms, sometimes your phone will have no problem running a certain rom where as someone else's might not even boot. As for myself I've been pretty fortunate and have been able to try any rom I've wanted to with success, and I'll give you a few of my thoughts on it.
If you're wondering about performance, well simply put JB blows everything else away and runs like a dream on the Fascinate. Once you spend a few days with it you'll never want to go back honestly. Even on our aging hardware, it runs amazingly fast, even without kernel performance tweaks.
Anyway, as far as roms go, if you're most concerned with stability and reliability then I would highly suggest CM10 (whatever the latest nightly version is). Of all the roms I've tried, it's by far the one that's given me the least hassle. That said, I'm quite fond of the tweaks offered in AOKP, mainly the voltage settings (for battery life) and the fact that it seems to vibe much better with Devil kernel than CM10 does. I've been running my current rom/kernel for a couple of weeks now, and I'm happy enough with how it's running to keep it as my daily driver for a while.
This isn't to say the GB roms aren't any good, because of course they are, but considering how nice JB roms run on our phone you'd be doing a disservice by not at least giving them a shot.

You sold me on the idea of JB. Flashed it today, and I love it so far. Plus, my soft key lights aren't constantly on! Win-win.
Thank you so much for the guidance. Your input helped turn a satisfactory experience with ROMs into a trully positive one.
Glad to hear you liked it man, I was reluctant at first too due to (at the time) no 'official' releases, but I'm glad I made the jump. I'm quite enjoying AOKP M1 and will probably stay on it for a long time. Which rom did you end up trying?

I was really impressed with your review, so I chose to go with the same rom. It also seemed like the most stable option and easiest for me to understand the installation procedure (very important for me since this is my only device and more than just my daily driver, it's my life line). I had been extremely hesitant to go to JB for fear of junking my phone up, but I'm really glad I took the extra risk. I just needed an extra bit of encouragement. Thanks again for all your input!
If you managed to install AOKP smoothly you can pretty much install any rom the same way, basically meaning wipe data and cache/davlik then flash whatever you want to. Luckily this phone happens to be very hard to break, and you'd have to do something pretty extreme to brick it. I highly recommend Titanium backup pro so you can just backup the apps you want, and restore them in no time when you're trying different roms. Also, I've been using some voltage settings that make battery life insanely good, so if you're interested in doing that let me know and I'll post them.

Regarding the key back light, since you are on aokp jellybean now if you still want to tweak the settings, goto settings and then device settings. There you can adjust the timeout on them

I've actually done that before just to see what happened (system settings) and it didn't bootloop, it simply didn't restore anything. Not that I mind re-setting everything after a clean install, just figured I'd try to save a little time

I'm using a VS980, currently running crDroid's 5.0.2 ROM. I get random reboots at times and the homescreen has changed icon size twice already meaning the way I had screens laid out got messed up, along with some handoff issues going from a long time on wifi to LTE without rebooting. Little things like that are annoying, so I'm looking to change....
Has anyone tried both XDABBEB's VS982.5 and Ressurection Remix? If so, what made you stick with one and not the other?
I like the hidden face unlock ability in LP and how things are animated and how Tasker-like features are built in although not as good, but I miss some of the functionality the LG ROMs provided (especially the G3 ROMs). So, thoughts if you've tried either of those....
