[Rom] Soulife's ION Remix v1.2.2 [7/13/09]

READ THE DAMN POST PEOPLE, THE MAJORITY OF QUESTION I GET ARE ANSWERED RIGHT HERE!!!
Remember it's good practice to wipe before coming to a new build. 9 out of 10 problems are because you probably didn't wipe when coming from another build (as in one that's not mine). Also, hero is great for polluting your /system/sd directory. And a lot of developers are installing stuff on the data partition. So if you have a2sd and you flash a rom that installs stuff on data, it will reinstall itself when you come to another a2sd enabled build. Which could cause problems. Just a few things I want everyone to remember. Flash away...
This Build is constantly getting worked on, so looking at the change log to figure out what your getting can be confusing. So here it is in a nutshell...(as of July 12, 2009)
Two different versions now available. Regular for those with the "original" spl and Extended for the "special" spl.
To add ringtones, alarms, and notification sounds back on the phone download the resources.zip file from download page, and add those 3 directories to the root of your sdcard. Viola, you now have audio.
DO NOT RUN ANY OTHER APPS2SD APPLICATIONS ON THIS BUILD. YOU WILL BREAK YOUR SYSTEM. THEY ARE NOT NECESSARY BECAUSE THIS ROM WILL DO A2SD AUTOMATICALLY AND BETTER!
Built with Cyanogen's kernel and boot.img (3.6.5)
(please, please visit his thread. a lot of those same rules apply here)
(dalvik-cache stays internal)
* Enhanced ramdisk which uses optimal mount options and smart startup
* Includes E2FSProgs for checking and converting Ext filesystems
* Apps2SD is automatic! All you need is a second partition.
* Includes script to upgrade to ext3
* Supports ext2/ext3/ext4 for Apps2SD
* Clean filesystem shutdown at poweroff/reboot, and fsck at boot (should stop FS corruption)
* Highly optimized kernel with many extra modules
* Tweaked frequency scaling options to be more responsive
* Maximum CPU scaling frequency set to 528MHz
* Runs /system/sd/userinit.sh after A2SD setup and before starting the runtime for user scripts
added cyanogens settings app to allow showing ext2/3/4 partition available space
Optimized with JF build environment

Newest Google Maps app (3.1.1)(extended)
More locals than just "English - United States" (not all work)

- removed amazon mp3
to do
odex some critical apk's for regular version (speed boost)
maybe give you guys 5 home screens (it takes up more memory and i wont use the extra screens, so its not worth it to me yet)
maybe remove homescreen auto-rotation (some find it annoying)
re-odex framework. i need to find the right sequence or ill get stale nfs bullsh*t. i have little patience.
put overclock widget as seperate download with custom artwork to match theme
make a default theme template for extended version (im lazy and dont wanna re-odex yet, although its only a few apk's)
known issues
theme - status bar icons are barely visible on white background
theme - highlighted dialer is "weird" on the left side (damned *.9.png files, i need eclipse)
theme - the alien dude has something in his eye
adjusting ringer volume in settings will throw a FC
CREDITS
Haykuro provided the initial build
Haykuro provided hero build (where i got some artwork from)
Cyanogen provided the kernel, boot.img, a2sd method, settings.apk, e2fsck tools, new busybox, concepts, etc....
Stericson provided lockscreen, HTCmusic from hero, white clock
Manup456 provided A LOT of the artwork you see
MOONSSPOON for artwork
ultra spikey for artwork
(playing with ion i've come to realize that its not what is in ion that makes it fast, its what's not in it if you ever read dalvikvm from ion for speed, laugh, unless every single build has started using it, it is the same as on a stock g1 )
Builds

The 2nd bootscreen is AWESOME. Love it......

Doesn't work...

It takes almost 10 minutes to get pass the second bootscreen. So give it time.
NOTE to the Developer: why is the pull up tab for the app tray so low on the screen. pretty hard to tap with it so low

Nevermind. Got it working.

Anybody know what icon pack that is? Hoping there's one in the market for bettercut so I can match 'em up.

if ur still tryna find out how to change the resolution(dpi) in Gimp, I found this

In the dialog box, click 'Advanced Options' and change both 'X Resolution' and 'Y Resolution' to 300

I used the Google Ion rom sometime back and have always loved its response. I am currently using a modified version of rogers rom and love the HTC dialer.
Can anyone please confirm if this ion remix have this dialer or not. Preferably a screenshot would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks soulife for your great work

It does not have the HTC Dialer.

Modified launcher - source and apk attached (Number of homescreens now customizable)

Modified Launcher:
Current features:
* Customizable number of home screen and default screen. (default 3 screens, can be set from 2 to 10 screens)
* Sensor-based rotation can now be enabled/disabled from the extended settings menu.
* Applications from the application drawer can be hidden by throwing them in the recycle bin.
The ones that are thrown away will not be deleted but in the background a database is kept in which the applications info is stored and i modified the application loading so that it checks against that database and the ones in it will not be shown. This way you can finally organize the menu...
* Ive added an extra menu option to manage the added features. ( Extended )
Updates:
21-07-2009:
Source added ( attached as zip for now )
Somehow the forums zip upload isnt working at the moment ( or it doesnt like the zip file ) , so ive uploaded it to rapid share.
22-07-2009:
Number of homescreens and the default screen can now be set manually in the Extended settings screen.
Added apk ( launcher.zip ) to the first post.
23-07-2009
Sensor-based rotation can now be enabled/disabled from the extended settings menu
Added apk and new dump of complete source.
Side note:
The source has been build/tested against 1.5r2.
Issues:
There is one little bug I know of:
The applications arent removed on first boot... if you reboot everything works fine... I will look into this issue.
Same goes for the settings... you will need to reboot before stuff will be saved correctly.
Downloads:
-- STILL WORK IN PROGRESS SO IF YOU WANT A FULLY STABLE LAUNCHER DONT USE THIS UNTIL ITS TESTED FULLY --
Latest dump of the source can be found at http://rapidshare.com/files/259200651/Launcher_source_090723.zip
Be aware that the code is only a test case. Ill start cleaning up / organize stuff as soon as all the features are done...
And the latest .apk is attached below ( zipped )

Would it be possible to have per home screen menuing, so a different menu can be used for each home screen?

Wow. That sounds awesome rogro! I can't wait to see it. I'll be one of the first guinea pigs

neato
dot folder

Did I hear right? You will now be able to hide apps? Amazing just waht I have been waiting for! Maybe you could password protect the app that "Hides the apps! This is worth donating for!

Since your sharing the apk, you should share the code at github. This way there's no debate if it'll work on this build or that. sharing is what this community's all about.

Will do... as soon as i have everything tested and finished ill upload the source...

Wow ,great job. Been looking for something like this to run on a cupcake ROM. I'm curious though ,the app launcher is it the bigger ones (i.e. 5x4, 6x3) or the original ones.

what happens if you throw that extra menu option, that manages the hidden apps, into the recycle bin???
Universe exploads?

Sounds too good to be true!
I can't wait to try it!
(subscribed to thread)

IDEA!
PLEASE
add a function of picking up and dropping the icon allows a context menu to come up that includes app info page and market info page. (like dxtop)

This sounds awesome.. If you put up a Git repository I'll pull it for sure into my build.

wow can't wait for this sounds great!!
think you can have some sneak peak screenshots of this launcher in action =D
build up the HYPE lol.

this does sound awesome.
can't wait to see release and details!
cyan, i hope you put this on your rom!
i love all your roms!!

i think i'm excited.
yup. i am.

ummm
Any way you could use your superior knowledge to make one that has 3 screens and no auto rotate? I love the idea of being able to hide apps, but am not too fond of 5 screens and auto rotate. I've been replacing Launcher.apk in cyanogen's builds because of this. Does hiding apps make things run a little faster when returning to the home screen with the app drawer open?

Ill first finish this version tonight and then ill look into making the number and default of the home screens customizable, so that everyone can choose for themselves

dude you are to nice with trying to compromise with everyones needs. thats a good artist if i could say. i can be a test subject if you will and willing to try with ne rom or whatever. do it up!!

Added screenshots to first post showing the removal of applications

we've been hurting for home replacements, free ones anyway. Since you're at it, could you look if there's something that can be done to the app-drawer tab to have three clickable regions instead of one? I'm thinking something along the terms of the Rosie tab. You could add options so that the user could customize what each region does (ie, region 1 brings up the app drawer, region 2 brings up the dialer, and region 3 brings up the widget dialog, like rosie). I'd do it myself, I've already worked some pseudocode for it, but alas, my Java syntax is about 6 years too old and I haven't learned much of android's implementation yet.

[MOD][250510][CM 5.0.7-T3] Framework + Browser Mods by Wysie, pershoot and bcrook88!

All the changes have been merged into CyanogenMod 5.0.7 ! Please do NOT flash any of the current listed versions. I will remove this message if bcrook88, pershoot, or myself updates anything.
Also, I've since release a Spare Parts update for CM5.0.7. Find it here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=688347
Hi all,
Note: This replaces your framework and services.jar, meaning Trackball Alert will not work, custom clock colours will revert, and notification in successions will also not work (since services.jar is replaced).
ALWAYS NANDROID FIRST !

Old Post:
Been a while since I did anything for Android, so I decided to first tackle one of the problems I have with it, which is, "Why must Android show the red arrows when I make a mistake, even in stealth mode?" I find it quite "insecure" .
Anyway, I know there's a morph to have a invisible lockscreen posted in david1711's thread, but this mod allows it to be an option . Enough talk, here's some screenshots:

Changelog:
250510:
- Added ability to change battery percentage colour
- Added option to hide clock on status bar
- Attempt to fix the percent alignment on D/S devices
240510:
- Implemented 2 additional options.
- "Show unlock message" will hide the "Draw pattern to unlock" message
- "Show unlock error messages" will hide the "Sorry, try again" message
- However, if you get the incorrect pattern, it will still show the 30 seconds countdown. That is not configurable, don't intend to make it configurable as well.
- Removed Browser.apk from package since it's included in CM5.0.7 latest test releases now .
230510:
- Notification items' colours are now changeable. HOWEVER, not all notification items will change, as some of them are implemented in a different way by the app dev themselves . Not sure if I can do anything about it yet.
- Re-organized SpareParts. For those asking, I have no idea what PLMN and SPN means, I took it from the source variable names. What I do know is they are related to carrier, and you can change them for your carrier colour to change.
- Updated source to CM's latest .
180510:
- Added various options into spare parts to allow configuration of clock, date, and many other colours. A reboot is required for the changes to take effect! SPN and PLMN is for the carrier .
170510 #2:
- Removed the swipe function in browser . It broke the Browser completely. Sorry about the error.
- Browser.apk no longer available as standalone since all it does is increase the max tabs from 8 to 16. It is still in the update.zip .
- Fixed the PIN lock buttons getting cut off if you use both visible dots and custom message. Thanks to _avatar for the help !
170510:
-Made some modifications to Browser.apk, as follows:
- If in fullscreen mode, swipe down on the title/address bar to show notifications/status bar, touch anywhere on the webpage will hide it back.
- Increased max number of tabs from 8 to 16.
- It is included with this mod update.zip because I've made some changes to framework, and I'm not sure how well it will work on the previous CM5.0.6 framework. A standalone link is also available, please report if it works for those on CM5.0.6 or CM5.0.7 WITHOUT the rest of our framework modifications.
160510:
Added option to make the delay on incorrect pattern customizable. (I dislike the delay!)
Changed the correct delay of PIN lock by avatar from 750ms to 0ms. Report if there're problems .
150510 #3:
Made it show 6 apps by default, otherwise it will cause a boot loop unless you've used spare parts first.
150510 #2:
Fixed a visual glitch with the focus/select drawable being cut off for the right-most apps if set to 12 recent apps.
150510:
Test release with configurable number of recent apps. Configure in SpareParts. 9 and 12 is now working but looks wrong (left-aligned). pershoot/bcrook88/myself are working on it. Removed previous version as invisible slider broke too many things. Give pershoot's links a try if you are looking for them since he has not added the invisible slider part. For those who have flashed my previous test release containing Browser.apk, please push Browser.apk from CM5.0.7-test2, or simply reflash CM5.0.7-test2 (or test whatever, if you're on D/S ).

Special thanks to:
pershoot - For being a very helpful guy throughout, esp. with his help with the make commands (although he suggested I do a full make ), and for the 15 recent apps layout, from which 9 and 12 was derived from
bcrook88 - Same as above, without the full make

Have an option in Spare Parts to reset all colours to defaults?

sweet thanks so much!! downloading now
looks like the link is broken....

Re-uploading, try in a minute or so, I based the update.zip off pershoot's 15apps, and forgot to remove one line (not major, but I'm ocd ).

thank you kind sir.....great work!

Thank you! I got tired of people peeking over to see my lockscreen combination lol.

A lot of apps FC after flashing, the notification bar disappeared and I cannot switch off my phone
I previously installed pershoot's OCUV kernel + 15 Recent apps on CM 5.0.7 Test 1

[Request] optional text into the lockscreen
I love it
Request:
would it be possible to implement an option like this in settings:
So everyone can insert a specific text into the lockscreen??

same for me!
I would even say all apps produce fc

I'm not using CM at the moment. I switch back and forth between it and my own custom Desire Rom. But this is the first useful lockscreen mod for CM that i have seen so far.. Great work!

rori: Thanks for the suggestion, I'll look into it. By the way, with the britoso mod, what happens if you have the dots on? Or are they permanently gone?
For those of you having FCs, I'll be honest with you, I have zero idea why . Are you all using any morphs? How about flashing CM5.0.7-Test, then my update.zip again? Pershoot's changes will also replace services.jar, although I'm not too sure if it will affect anything. I'm doing a repo sync now and will make a version for test2 asap.

ill roll this in tonight to the 15recent.
good work

Thanks pershoot !
Updated update.zip file in first post for CM5.0.7-test2!

That xml layout mod is for the slide-lock-screen with the slider below the text. There are ways of showing a view below another, example , Not tried this but it looks feasible.

Any chance you could implement hiding the clock and/or date?
I have a live wallpaper that displays the time. (ping pong)

Hi britoso, thx for the help. Actually I've already added a line of text under, but it doesn't seem to look good. Adding the text directly over doesn't look good either .

[ROM - Bloatless] {MT3G} FroyoZone v1.2 [CM6 Base - Advanced users only]

Bloatless FroyoZone
Based on - CM6 RC3
**** PLEASE READ EVERYTHING ****
**** I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR NEGATIVE OUTCOMES - USE AT OWN RISK!******
Cyanogen's Pre-Req's Remain for this ROM
After reading the Barbones wiki - http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=Barebones, I decided that I a better froyo experince could be had if I removed what I didn't/never use.
This is my first ROM modification that I'm posting (I've modded roms before but kept em to myself due to adding paid apps into the base build). Most of the questions that are to be had here, have already been answered in other threads (use the search button!)
This is not meant to be used by n00bs!
This is meant for advanced androiders that know what they're doing and how android works. So questions about how to do this and that, why is this and that, will not be answered (as I said before, already been answered in other threads, so stop being lazy and look for it).
Any other questions are fine though.
The following has been removed from the 8/14/2010 nightly build:
(This is all to my preferences; Fully Tested on my MT3G. Should work on G1 but I don't own one, so a G1 tester confirmation would be helpful)
If options you need were removed, so what, download another ROM and GAPPS package.
---TO INSTALL---
Do you really need to know how to do this? This is just a mod.

System Recommendations:
CM Parts:
- Dithering Off
- JIT Off

If you want LauncherPro or ADWLauncher, go download it since they're constantly being updated)
=Calculator (I have a real calculator!)
=Development.apk (I never use this)
=Email.apk (I stick with GMail for it's push services; POP3/IMAP polling kills the battery)

=LiveWallpaperPicker (Live Wallpapers are not designed for D/S hardware)
=Music.apk (Better options in the market; don't use my phone for music for batttery conversation)
=Protips.apk (Who cares about this!?!? I sure don't!)
=RomManager.apk (Rom Manager has been updated a few times and the CM version is now old)
=SoundRecorder.apk (The icon is ugly and plain; pick your own recorder from the market)
=SpeechRecorder.apk (Same as above)
=term.apk (I prefer to use Better Terminal Emulator Pro, no use in having two terminal apps)
=voicedialer.apk (I never use this since I'm never driving or using a bluetooth headset)
=vpnservices.apk (I never use this)
=All ringtones and notification (one stayed -Drip) sounds (I use my own/removed for system space)
---ROM Additions--
Toggle 2G
---GAPPS Removals---
=Amazon MP3 (Because I never use the music app, why would I keep this?)
=GenieWidget.apk (Constantly running in background, no matter what I try. I use the browser to keep up on news and weather anyway)

=VoiceSearch.apk (Removed to update to Market version)
=Maps (Newer version in market)

-----
To Do List
Add theme options
Integrate Firerat's AutoMTD patcher
Create setup script to allow user choice of launcher (with market links) and other options
Add pershoot's overclocking kernel
Start building from source

EDIT: Force closes when opening Settings. =/

How many times have you tried opening the settings?

More than 10 times. All force closes.

Also echoing the Force closing on G1's when flashed.

Ok, try running a fix permissions. If not, send me a logcat. My intuitions is telling me that it could be the launcher. Will check when I get home.

Still trying to figure out why this is "Advanced Users Only".
Flash ROM, use it.
Not so advanced, but good work I guess.

I think when he says that he means if you have to ask questions on how to set it up or how to fix your bootloop (when you prolly just forgot to wipe) don't install. He doesn't want to have to walk every person who doesn't understand how to set up swap or how to remove or add app through the processes. And i totally agree with him. Many rom pages get cluttered (over 200 pages) with a bunch of useless crap like how much swap people or using when they should be posting logcats or reporting problems. Much stuff like setups vary on what and how the user uses the phone for. So the chance of one person set up will prolly only work about 5% of the time. See even this post is useless but you asked so i answered. Again this is my opinion on why he said that.

New version out.

I would like to say, good work on this. I gave it a try yesterday since I had been running CM5 for a while (after an attempt to smoothly run CM6) on my G1. It was good until apps2sd was needed via Firerat's scripts. The phone was super sluggish and I was basically back to the same experience with my first try at CM6. This was after a full wipe and fresh SD card. I think I'll hold off on 2.2 until I change devices, but again, good work

Very smooth on my tmobile g1

[ROM] Rock Steady / CM7 (GingerSense) (5-1-11)

Rock Steady / CM7 (GingerSense) (5-1-11)​
BEFORE READING ON, MAKE SURE YOU'RE USING CLOCKWORK MOD RECOVERY!!!​
Who is Rock Steady for?/About Rock Steady
Looking for the faster 2.3.3 hero cdma rom with HTC Sense Theme??!?! This is just for you!!! This rom is a developed by me and cyanogenmod and the cyanogenmod team. The name inspired by the Rock Steady Break bboy crew. They are the original bboy crew that inspired future generations to breakdance like myself, but yet they remain true to the dance. That short explanation reminds of this rom and how android went from 1.5 to 2.3.3 but this rom remains original to the default theme of android when you first bought your phone from sprint, sense ui framework. If you can't tell by now I like to breakdance so that is the basis of where the name came from. Please read on for more information.
What Needs Work?
- modify the lock screen pattern to have that same green streak like sense's lock screen pattern does
- modify the lock screen and notification bar "sprint" text to say either "gingersense" or "heroc"
- also i need to include a super circle battery mod as extra for those of you who would like a super circle battery instead of the sprint battery (coming soon )
Instructions:
1. Backup EVERYTHING (SD Card, Titanium Backup, Nandroid)
2. Wipe EVERYTHING (Data/Factory Rest, Wipe Cache, Format Boot, System, Cache, and Data, Wipe Dalvik)
3. Download and Copy RockSteady & Gapps to your sdcard
Get Rock Steady Here
Get Gapps Here
4. Flash RockSteady and Gapps and Reboot
5. Skips gapps setup and reboot into recovery and wipe data, cache, and dalvik again
6. reboot into system
7. After setting up gapps, in the menu > sense settings > ui setting > check tint ab and make the scale factor 1 instead of 7
8.Press menu > add > custom shortcut > then click the phone icon and use es file explorer and choose the transparent.png I provided for you on the root of your SD card. Change the activity to say phone by pressing pick your activity > applications > phone. Okay the custom widget and the drag and drop it over the phone button. Do the same for right sense dock button (choose a custom activity of your choice)
9. Add the sense clock by using the fancy widget widget i provided for you.
10. Press menu > settings > cyanogenmod settings > lockscreen > style options > lockscreen style > lense. This is the new modified lockscreen I've been working on Its not perfect yet but it's a start. This is just my way of saving you a few bucks from buying a lockscreen from the market. Although, if you'd like a sense-like lockscreen which looks slightly different from the stock lockscreen (in terms of shading/brightness/darkness), please see here about widgetlocker. Please purchase this app from the market to use as the sense lockscreen. I REALLY RECOMMEND IT. And you can easily disable the default lockscreen once you start using this app by going into the cyanogenmod settings > tablet settings > and checking disable lockscreen.

4-4
-fixed reboot problem with flash zip

- hardware acceleration for ui
- fixed media volume up/down icon
- fixed manual apk install warning icon
- screen state governor switcher :D so this rom is now almost a mp & bl rom (the balance is now like 80/20 with majority of the tweaks being for performance but battery life is still awesome for all the performance gained)
- phone lag is GONE! :D finally got my phone lag script correct for the heroc
- i/o scheduler tweaks helped performance/smoothness A LOT
- boot time tweak so rom boot in about 20 seconds or less for me after first boot :D

- changed settings icons and other minor icon edits

- came close on the lock screen VERY VERY close but i need to learn java to complete it so i removed it until i learn java :D

4-10

4-21

OK, installed. Going through the setup instructions on the OP
9. Press Menu > Sense Settings > Sense UI (last step should be >IU Settings)
10. Check Tink AB (Should be Tint AB)
35. Repeat steps 24-34 except for an shortcut of your choice (creating add to homescreen shortcut isn't capable right now) - (Dont really know why or what you are attempting here? Please clarify)
41. Wallapaper (Misspelled)
Your set up is completed.
So far so good. I will let you know when I have My set up completed. Installing stuff.
Can I use A2SD? (I assume I can since it is a GB base)

I have used the data2ext before but my card is only a class 4. Causes much lag. I am fine with just A2sd. Right now I am using Jason's 691 uncapped kernel and it is working fine so far.

That is fine also I'm working on my own kernel but glad to hear good reports

Is this real "HTC Sense" integrated with gingerbread, or is it just a "Sense theme" for gingerbread? I assume by looking at the rom size that it is just a theme. I really like the sense widgets: calendar, messaging,email, etc, but I assume that if it is just a sense theme then those widgets will not be available? I will still download and give it a whirl. Thank you for your hard work!

It's probably just the themed ADWLauncher and warez version of Fancy Widget that have been floating around.

Thats what I was thinking. Without the sense widgets, I'll just go back to launcher pro plus, the sense theme doesn't me do me much good in that regards. Other than that the rom looks pretty solid

I know that most folks that use Froyo or Gingerbread think that Sense is a dirty word, for some reason I always find myself going back to a sense rom after being on froyo or gingerbread for a while. I really like the interface and widgets. Thank you again for your hardwork

Fancy Widget is not warez. The oudated version that you've included here (the one that you've likely included without license from the creator) was taken off of the Market a long time ago after HTC sent a cease-and-desist letter to the creator for ripping off their work (if you crack open the apk, you can see pretty clearly that he blatantly copied the image resources from the original). It was later re-released after a code rewrite, sans the ripped-off bits.
