I like the O2 ROM on my phone, although there are a few niggles. I'd like to be able to assign the buttons better. Turn off the side volume switches and things..
I do use the Office software. So I would like to keep that.
What ROM is going to fit my needs ?
Thanks
don't believe a rom changed is required
there are programs you can manually install
which will give you a lot more power over button assignments
I've tried a few of these 'tweak' programs but none seem to change the things I find annoying. I know its a very personal thing as to what we like and dislike on our phones.
Thanks.
Any names of these apps in case theres one I've not tried ?

Hello everyone,
My AT&T sales guy sent me to this forum. I have been looking around and searching and realized that I am in over my head to be honest. I just got a Fuze and like it for the most part. There are a few things that I do not care for that maybe you guys can tell me if I need a new ROM and if so, which one. The things I would like to change are:
1. I would like quicker/easier access to my Tasks. I use Outlook tasks A LOT and it is not easy to get to them (not as easy as contacts and messaging anyway)
2. The notifications are not obvious. I was running an 8525 with WM6 and the notification would pop up at the bottom of the screen. I have to click the tiny notification bell symbol on the Fuse, which is annoying.
3. Scrolling is an issue. I am very used to my scroll wheel on the 8525. Is it possible re-map the volume control buttons to scrolling arrows?
Also, dragging my finger on the screen is a pain. I almost always call someone inadvertently when I try to scroll.
4. Battery life is MUCH better than my 8525 (probably due to the 8525s age + the better technology), but battery life could always be better.
5. The ring and speaker phone volume is pretty low, even with my volume control maxed out.
6. I don't like that the screen turns off when someone answers. It is great for everything except voicemail.
So, all in all, I am happy with it and hopefully the short list above is comprised of things that are easy to fix. What do you think, can I fix these issues with registry changes, or do I need to change the ROM? If I need to change the ROM, which one (I have found dozens)??
Thanks!
Can't answer most of those.
#6. Get Touch In Call Screen Tweak

This is a good page to start looking for answers:

Yes - a custom rom will (probably) make it easier to access the parts you want quickly, however some 3rd party apps may give you the same control without the hassle of flashing (however, if you do decide to flash - its not difficult, just make sure you read the guides carefully before you start!
As for the audio volume - (sorry if this sounds dumb) make sure that the screen protector has a cut-out over the speaker. Crazy i know - but from reading some old threads on here - not all of them did, so you end up blocking the speaker & not being able to hear properly.
Battery life - depends on usage of course, also a different radio may make a difference for you. Unfortuantly there isnt a magic one here, different radios seem to give different performance & battery life in different areas (and of course usage patterns)
Re-mapping buttons? google for AE Button - can remap buttons in anyway you like.
Notifications - i believe you can get the balloon preview at the bottom of the screen using advanced config (search for it on here) [dont have my phone with me right now so i cant check what the setting is]
Hope it helps a little and welcome to the forums
Thanks for the info guys. I like the looks of the in-call tweak, but think I'll wait until I get the rest of the stuff and do it all at once.
Beeble,
I admit that I am a little worried about flashing it for a new ROM, especially since there are so many out there. If I do it, I want to make my choice, do it and be done with it. I do not want to be flashing it every 2 or three days until I find a ROM that I like.
As with the phone tweak, I think I'll try the the AE Button one when I do the in-call tweak.
Couldn't find a setting on the notification bubbles. Maybe I am not looking in the right place.
How do I get a new radio? I assume this is a software thing. Does this require flashing? Is it an ordeal to do this?
Thanks!
Unfortuantly you will almost certainly flash more than 1 rom once you start!
You'll (probably) spend hours and hours reading about them and trying to decide which is right for you. Then 3 days later you'll start grabbing random ones and just trying them out!
Before you flash anything you'll need to hard spl your phone. This is very important, but really pretty simple (if you dont hard spl, you can only flash official roms from your phone supplier - once you have hard spl you can flash any rom from any carrier, aswell as custom roms)
This is the guide to flashing and its very simple to follow - just take your time & dont skip steps.
If you do get the flashing bug - check out this UC thread it'll tell you how to automate about 95% of the setup of the phone after a flash (or hard reset).
Flashing a radio is the same process as flashing a rom, although it wont perform a hard reset (so you dont have to set everything up again) - But as always backup first just in case!
Radio thread here - remember, once you have hard spl'd your phone you can flash any Raphael radio. If you want to use a radio from another device, you'll need to Security unlock it first
Backup - you can use backup software like sprite, but if you are changing rom dont restore the old backup - you'll get all kinds of problems! Instead use PIM backup (free) which you can use to restore numbers/meetings/calls etc regardless of rom
If you get problems - or want some help - just let us know whats stumping you, make sure you've had a good read first - and please dont ask what rom you should get without listing exactly what you want the rom to do for you! most roms come down to preference.
Finally - good luck! and remember you have a GSM phone - so stay away from CDMA threads & downloads, otherwise you could brick your phone (follow the links in the guides and you cant go wrong)
anyone have this on their Mega?
I have in a custom Rom, but did not pay a lot of attention to this app......
possible to extract out the program?
Sure, I can attach. Will do that tonight when I get back. Have a few versions check which one is best.....
WOW
this is a gr8 app and works fine with mega , sound quality really improves
As promised.....
thanks a lot . which one works with Mega? do i have to tweak the registry to make it works?
Not sure which one is best.....try them both.
No changing of registry needed.
tried both, hard reset, still cannot work. it seems that it cannot load the driver. luckily can uninstall. any other file can be use?
Could not find a better version......check this thread with some other options like changing registry. Hope this helps.......

Thanks..hopefully one of these works.
Why does my sound not work at ALL now !?
even when i press the volume up key, all the way to max there isnt even a progression of higher sounds. Then if i exit that and press volume up key again, it starts from the bottom again, even though i just put the volume up to max
please help, dont know wtf is going on, i installed the "SRS.WOW.HD.v1.28.5.0.ENG.RUS.WM5.WM6.cab" then the problem above happened, so i then installed "SRS_WOW_HD 121.cab" and the problem is still there
I don't know if this has been solved before, i'll post it just for the sake of it.
One of the major issue i've ever encountered on any rom is actually htc dialer, which may sometimes show a bar which hides "end call" and "key pad" keys. Now, i've been wanting to solve this for a long time, so i kinda looked into it myself, since i couldn't seem to find any solution. One of the solution i came with was that the htc dialer isn't ported completely into VGA version, and i kinda left it to that. But school got me thinkin' (yeah, i usually attend school to think to problems of my own, lol.) Even though it's not completely ported to VGA, it makes little sense that, out of the blue, it shows this damn annoying bar. So here i go.
I noticed that everytime you use "Fondamental Purge" on cleanRAM, this damn bar approaches. Thus, the solution is very simple:
Freely install CleanRAM, which i find SERIOUSLY USEFULL, especially with roms such as Energy's and many others. It speeds up your phone. But, here comes the solution to the problem: Tap OPTIONS, then "exception list", enable it, and find a process named "phcanvga.exe", port it to the left column, and voilà! u're done. Exit the exception list, and feel free to use cleanram anytime you want
Hope i was helpfull, keep on developing touch pro roms n programs!!!!
As in the title. Is this possible to do on Android head unit.
As we know we have various different physical button options and ways to link steering buttons to different apps. But as far as I know there isnt a way to shuffle running apps to bring them to the front or in focus with just 1 simple button (steering).
As we know using our phones we can press the left list button on our phones and scroll through recent apps and select the one we want to use to bring it back into focus. Well I generally have less than half a dozen main apps I might use any one time in the car and its a bit of a faff doing this with the screen. Id rather do it with just any easy dedicated button. And possibly assign the apps I want to switch between such as navi, radio, music, phone etc.
So can this be done ?
Its already done. I got a pumpkin px5 that has a mod button where in hal9k rom i set any numbers of apps i want and i scroll with that perfectly. Also i had assign for it a steering wheel button that works also fine.
I highly recommend the Hal9k rom as well. It does exactly what you want.
If you don't want to flash a new rom though I did this originally by using an app called MTCD Tools. I don't have a link but it's mentioned a lot in here.
I ended up using a combination of that and Tasker to get apps like Spotify or Pocketcasts to start playback automatically at different volume levels when cycled to.
But again, much less effort with Hal9k
Thanks guys, i thought perhaps mtcdtools might do it. But it is a bit scary as i dont understand most of it.
Good to no its possible tho. The more I think about it the more I like the idea.
Ive only just installed malaysk's rom which is very good + all my other apps so dont really want to wipe n flash again just yet. Did you also use Malaysk rom or go straight to Hal9k. I thought they were much the same.
I did install at 1st malaysk but it was too altered for my taste because i like just root and some extra options and hal9k rom fit the bill perfectly.
You sure malaysk doesn't have this option? Better ask in malaysk thread if you don't find it.
Yes I could do. Where did you find it in Hal9ks rom. Is it under settings?
Yes
Settings -> mod settings-> apps that cycle throw mode button.
If i remember right the last setting
Hi, I just finish the Note 20 Ultra configuration, but there are some shadows zones....
Sorry for the lenght of the message, but I really don't know where I can ask these questions and I know here is the best place to do it.
First of all, the S-Pen.
I'm used to Samsung's Note line. My last Smartphone was a Note 9, and all worked perfectly.
This time, with the S-pen, I wanted to do things such as write an express note when the screen is off. I can't . I tested all the settings, unfortunately I only managed to get the express note screen once. Since then, aod or not, when I remove the s-pen, nothing happens. Same thing, when I press on the s-pen button and try to 'touch' 2 times the screen, I see the "Create a note" button, but same : nothing happens when I touch it.
Even with all the settings activated/deactivated, all I tried, nothing happens.
LED notifications and apps that do't work correctly
I was affraid to see that this phone don't have a LED for the notifications, at least, not natively.
I tried 2 or 3 apps, especially aodNotify, but none worked correctly. I found one that is almost ok, "LED Me Know", but I wish I use the aodNotify app. Don't know why it doesn't want to work with me.
Third thing : Good Lock and change side of the clock on the status bar.
May be it's because I'm in France, but this app is not on the Galaxy store, and when I download it manually and install it, it tells me "Sorry, we encountered a server or network error..."... And I can't use it. At all.
Is it a region thing ? Or may be an Exynos thing ?
I also wanted to root the phone : impossible for know apparently, same for any Theme making app lile #Hex_ or #Hexed_...
I can't even replace the clock in the right side like I always do.
I had a custom rom on my Note 9 (Ultimate Rom), and I could do it simply.
Now, the only method that seems working is using Good Lock, then download 'Quick Star panel' (something like that) and change the side of the clock. Cannot do. ?
I hope all my little issues are just due to the fact that Android 10 and this phone are brand new, and we just have to wait a bit to do all these things, to root it simply, install Custom roms etc etc are easy to do....
Otherwise I'm the one who has a big problem...
Ok. Basically, thank you for reading my novel ?
I hope someone would have the courage to help me or reassure me on these few things....
Thank you, take care, bye
