ADW Launcher - smoother, and more usable
Some one posted this over in Cyanogens site and on here.. (I don't take credit)
ADW Launcher - smoother, and more usable
1) Screen Preferences - Desktop scrolling speed - set to something low-ish like 150-200, default settings are just plain moronic here. Desktop overshoot should be fine at 30 or 40.
2) Drawer Settings - Horizontal Drawer definite on (this is far superior to the scrolling drawer if you have more than a few apps, and feels much smoother).
3) Drawer Settings - Zoom effect speed - 400 is a decent setting, default was way too high.
4) Drawer Settings - Columns/Rows - 4x4 is a nice setting for portrait, if you don't like a crammed screen.
5) System Preferences - Wallpaper Hack - check this. If you have issues, change wallpapers to something of a sane size.
6) System Preferences - Use Screen Cache - check this.
7) System Preferences - Scrollable Widget support - you should start with this unchecked. Only check it if you have issues with some widgets. In my experience it didn't make a huge difference in performance or smoothness.
There you go, 2 minutes invested in making ADW.Launcher faster and smoother than LauncherPro. If you use these settings and still find ADW.Launcher to be slow and chunky on a Nexus One, then there is something going on with your phone. I suggest doing a Wipe Cache and Wipe Dalvik Cache, or freeing up some memory.

i have this problem frequently thats why i make mods and roms. i can get it but not everyone can, and even i sometimes have to wipe, and/or a bunch of other crap. its basically at your own risk but you can look and the pics HERE; it does work, and im using it currently as is anyone else using my cyan mod. i havent had time because i been busy but my intentions were to add update zip form but havent got back to it yet. when i make a rom or mod i install everything before i sign it and thats why it all works in them. it does work, its just very picky. i have many pics. it works just fine other wise i wouldnt even know what it looked like after i themed it

If you're going to post tons of files it might be useful to have a little bit of a description of what each one does next to it e.g.:
SPRINT VVM UPDATE.ZIP - this is the OEM Sprint Visual Voicemail App

Very helpful thread, Thank you.
One question I have is how to change the home screen. I prefer LauncherPro to ADW but when I try to switch Home screens with "Home Switcher" LauncherPro does not stick as the default home screen. Any help would be appreciated.

Sorry if this is the wrong thread.
I have been searching for a way to access or change my PRL using CM6?
I have installed EPST.apk from another rom, and I don't know if there are more files I must include, or if it's simply not supported yet.
So far, the only way I have been able to change my PRL is flashing an eclair rom and then flashing cyanogen nightly.
Thanks

i switched my prl before i went to cyan and since ive been here i flashed the radio suggested in the first dev thread and everything works for me great. personally i have never noticed a difference in prl other than one time my market apps wouldnt update right and after i accepted the new prl it worked. that was way back on hero though. I dont really trust the ota stuff, but you are cyanogen now dont even have to worry anymore with the htc or sprint bs.
also check out your cyangenmod settings in settings. manymany options. if you have any questions just let me know or post...

Upon further reading of this post and some of the links, (please excuse my stupidity) I take it these files are meant for cyanogenmod roms. If you install or flash them on other roms, it might break something.
I was curious about the two voice mail files. Both are different file sizes than the one that is in my rom, so obviously they aren't the same thing. I was tempted to try them out, but my common sense told me that these are probably meant for cyan's rom. I take it that it would be a better idea to wait until the rom is released to the masses before playing with stuff like this.
Am I understanding you correctly with these assumptions or not? With me still being kinda newbish, maybe these questions could help other people that are newbs too.

Thanks for this.
Also, I'm in the camp that typically finds your mods a bit too loud for my taste, but as a few people said in the thread, I really dig power up. Nicely done. Not that your other stuff is bad at all, just different strokes for different folks.
I'll probably try this one out if I'm not crazy busy sometime soon.
I started an FAQ/known bugs thread, but they moved it to Q&A, which has rendered it almost useless. I'll link to this, but if the mods let this one stay maybe we should merge my content into here.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=729802
It really seems like since CM is getting so much attention there should be a sticky that gets regular updates with known issues and features so people don't post the same stuff over and over quite as much. The OP on the main CM thread isn't keeping it very updated, but he did state that it should be a temp thread, he didn't offer to keep it updated.

As far as my app drawer to get it running smoother I downloaded the free adw one theme, switched theme to adw one theme then back to default theme worked perfect... Also get the transparent app drawer instead of black background with default which is pretty cool

hey good thinking. i dont wanna break my evo either. give me some details and ill give you some answers. the vm apks are different because one is in update.zip form(flashed thru recovery like a rom) and the other is the apk alone. as far as the apps being for cyan only; most of them can be used on any rom. this is just a cyan geared assistance thread. but let me know the ones you want to be sure and ill let you know from my own experience, since ive used most every version of every rom weve had so far what works and what wont. most should work fine. if you are new, i do not recommend messing with cyankeyboard until i put it in a zip.

is there any way to get only the kernel of this rom becouse im unable to flash the rom i got error flashing it
-and yes i try to use a newer recovery but when i apply update.zip it goes back to the old clockworkmode
or can someone give me a link of a newer update.zip or any idea

[ROM] Super Clean ROM 0.3 for MESMERIZE!

Hi guys. I got my hands on some DI14 files from the Mesmerize and decided to cook up a ROM. This ROM is very lightweight (removed as much touchwiz stuff as I could), and is very similar the version I have released for the Fascinate.
[warning]THIS IS ONLY FOR THE USCC MESMERIZE!!! DON'T FLASH ON ANY OTHER PHONE!!! IF YOU DO, I WILL LAUGH AT YOU!!![/warning]
Features:
Latest versions of :
Google Maps
ADWLauncher
Google Voice
Google Street View
Superuser
YouTube
Aosp or additional apps:
DeskClock
FileManager
Gallery3D
Mms
Music Player
Other stuff:
bash / bmlunlock / busybox / nano / redbend_ua / strace binaries are included
fully functional terminfo for bash
lots of extra ringtones/sounds pulled from aosp
SGS boot and shutdown animations
LOTS of stuff removed, don't have a list, sorry.
Also included in the package is a custom kernel, which allows use of aosp style bootanimations (among other things) and has been optimized for speed and reliability. - kernel has been removed
Enjoy.
http://db.tt/PQYLPWX
WARNING: I do not have a Mesmerize so I cannot test anything myself. This ROM has been tested by a few people, but, if you have issues try wiping data, otherwise, please let me know of any bugs. Thanks.

testing now...

Flashed this a few minutes ago. Seems much snappier than stock. JT, can't thank you enough. I'll report back after I've used it a bit.
~Sophos

about to test it thanks

seems to work well the lock screen seems quicker but im having some pauses when in some apps. was wondering the name of the twitter and facebook feed app that comes standard on mesmerize liked that app but found it was missing in this rom

8hrs and going well. Couldn't get custom boot animation or BLN to work with kernel update so I flashed back to the 1130 kernel. Once I finish the final touches on this boot animation I'll upload it.

They are missing because they are bloat. Hence the "Super" in Super Clean ROM. The less in it from the start, the cleaner the build. There can and will be variations to this ROM, I'm sure, now that JT has been kind enough to give us a starting point. The pauses you are experiencing, I believe, are writes. When a ROM is deodexed, the .odex files are placed back into the apk for various reasons, including themes, causing the system to have to have to perform a few extra writes to cache. This should speed up as you use your phone. As I said, I believe this is correct, but I'm still learning so this may not be exactly what is happening. In testing the previous builds, I noticed the same thing and that this went away with use.

The only thing that I see as an issue is BLN doesn't appear to work. Oh well. Maybe in a future build.

Any way to get the original messaging working i like the way it shows the messages and maybe your navigator from uscc.

Link to Tom not working can someone post again please and thank you

All stock deodexed apk's located here http://ge.tt/3mWj9TK in a zip file. Files are not necessarily named the same in apk form as in the app drawer. Also, not all apk's are apps from the app drawer.
As usual, use at your own risk. Make a backup before you use.... yada yada yada.

Thanks... I'm looking through and I can't find two apps, not sure if they're there, or if they are, what the actual .apk names are... First is the stock Messaging app and the second is the My Navigator app. Not a huge fan of the messaging in this rom, if I can restore an apk to get back what it was like I'd be much happier.

Stock messaging app is mms.apk, but we are having a problem trying to get it back in the ROM. It seems to be the only one that doesn't want to go back in at this time, but it is being looked in to. My Navigator is USCC_Samsung_Galaxy_S-1059.apk I believe. I know it is one of the ones with USCC or uscellular in it.

i am 99.9% sure it wont
but does the wii mote work now? or is there any hope hat it will at some time

[MOD]V6 SuperCharger for Beta 2(Works on EVERY other ROM) - Update 4/10/12

Smooth Scrolling Mod & V6 SuperCharger for CM9
Disclaimer
By downloading and installing any of these mods, you have accepted my terms of agreement. I.E Your phone gets messed up? Not my fault. Countries WAGE WAR over your phone fearing its doomsday capabilities....Guess what? NOT. MY. FAULT. *sigh* I could sit here all day and think of more cliche and childish things for a disclaimer. But I'm going to take a nap instead. Enjoy! Also, I don't claim to any of these. I am merely correcting them for our phones and releasing them to the public. I guess then it doesn't reallllly belong in development. But no one has yelled at me so let's go with it![/CENTER]
Smooth Scrolling Mod:
This mod has been deprecated. Decad3nce has informed me that it is unneeded as ICS' scroll cache kicks ass.
This mod was designed to improve scrolling performance in everything. What it did was disable the scrolling cache. The scrolling cache used by older builds of Android didn't seem to work right and seemed only store cache for apps that are used often, and also didn't make sense for applications where the window content is constantly changes(Browser, XDA, Market, etc). Wiping the cache partition also wiped it out and constant flashers such as myself are always trying something different. So all in all it was kind of useless and scroll performance was a tad better without it contantly trying to build itself. SO with the help of AndroidON's thread, I killed it!
If you want to try and apply the mod yourself, go to the thread and follow the instructions. All you really do is use smali/baksmali to decompile the framework.jar and edit /android/widget/AbsListView.smali. Specifics in the thread. Real easy to do and a good learning experience for some. Try it out!
Downloads:
This mod has been deprecated. There will be no future downloads.

V6 SuperCharger Script:
Sir!
These are extremely outdated.
Go here and scroll down down down to the bottom of the page, when zeppelinrox has placed the updated files.
I recommend flashing the Starter Kit. *And if you need to adjust your services.jar go use the web app.
HUGE UPDATE! - Mod your services.jar instantly with the ICS OOM Priority Charger WebApp!
If you weren't aware V6 SuperCharger Script is not really compatible with ICS. It just doesn't seem to do anything. That's why zeppelinrox took to finding out why and how to fix it. The result is a completely different script. Entirely designed for ICS. That seems fine a well right? Just download the new script and use it like normal...right? NO! You have to crack open services.jar in order to allow for the script to have any effect! Here is the link to the how to. It was just as easy and straightforward as the scroll mod, and I recommend giving it a look see. So what I did was rip the services.jar out of Alpha 3 and apply the mod! COOL!
mocsab said:
I have been trying to use V6 Supercharge on CM9 and didn't seem to be getting much benefit - I honestly would not have been able to do the steps necessary to make it work - it is just over my head - so your flash file has helped me incredibly - I also never did try The other two 'tweaks' before until tonight and - the difference is amazing and immediately noticeable - extremely quick - and smooth - can't wait to see if they help save a little extra battery too - thank you very much!

All of the downloads posted here are posted in the threads above. I ask you to go to the threads and give zeppelinrox a thanks. He/she beyond deserves it.
I am also adding the links to the KickAss Kernelizer and 3G SuperCharger as well. I am using them both and it's pretty amazing. That said, the V6 SuperCharger, KickAss Kernelizer, and 3G SuperChargers will be the biggest boost you could ask for. I am underclocked AND undervolted and my phone has never been faster. YMMV but I'm still way sure.
Downloads:
Services.jar - Beta 2: Die-Hard​-Latest. Required to use the mods in ICS. This is a flashable zip. Just drag it to your SD card and flash in ClockworkMod. I ripped the updater script from EB! :tyrannosaurus: NOTE: After an Alpha update you will have to reapply this mod. THIS IS ONLY NECESSARY FOR CM9! MIUI has it built in, and V6 supports all versions of the operating system prior to ICS.
Services.jar - Beta 1: Die-Hard​Services.jar - Beta 0: Die-Hard​Services.jar - Alpha 5: Die-Hard | Bulletproof​Services.jar - Alpha 4: Die-Hard | Bulletproof​
V6_SuperCharger_for_Android-Update9_RC8.2.sh.pdf​
-Yes it says .pdf. That's the way zeppelinrox had to do it because the scripts got huge and the limit on .txt forced them to change. If you have a problem downloading it, right-click and select "Save Link as". You can remove the .pdf after the fact, but it doesn't really matter. Drag this to your SD card and then open it with root permissions with Script Manager. Note: When asked which speed you want to scroll at it gives for options 1-3. You can STILL choose 0. Choosing 0 will make the script run at top speed. This is useful for people who open it often. After initial setup scroll down and you should see 30 options. There are three pertaining to "512 HP". Choose one of those options. I chose option seven for example. I also turned on the "Nitro Lag Nullifier" experimental option. I have seen no ill effects. Only good happy rainbow effects. There is also SuperClean! Which just wipes your dalvik-cache and reboots. It's prompted, but you can say no. Which is probably for the best considering there is no shutdown. Instant reboot. Which can kill data. So yeah YMMV. Be careful. Make a nandroid! NOTE: After an Alpha update you will have to reapply this mod.
KickAssKernelizer_Tweaks_Installer_Update_3_RC8.sh.pdf​
-Again .pdf. You can remove the .pdf after the fact, but it doesn't really matter. Drag this to your SD card and then open it with root permissions with Script Manager. Run this AFTER V6. Let it does it's deal. Follow the script and click type I to install when prompted. I said yes to the I/O tweaks with no issues. It says that it may cause boot loops AND it may bork bluetooth...so keep that in mind Fixed! Go ahead and check out the I/O tweaks. But still make a nandroid! NOTE: After an Alpha update you will have to reapply this mod.
3GTurboCharger_Installer_Update_3_RC8.sh.pdf​
-Also .pdf. You can remove the .pdf after the fact, but it doesn't really matter. Drag this to your SD card and then open it with root permissions with Script Manager. Run this AFTER V6. Let it do it's initial intro and then you will see eleven options. I chose experimental 1. But you can choose whichever option you think sounds best. The lower the number the better battery savings(1 being the best, 5 & 6 being the worst). Make a nandroid! NOTE: After an Alpha update you will have to reapply this mod.
I recommend upon installing Script Manager to immediately activate root permissions by going into Menu->Advanced->Config->Browse As Root.
Failsafe:​ Flash this if using the I/O tweaks caused you to boot loop. It shouldn't happen as it has been updated. But this should fix it without you having to use nandroid if anything does go wrong.
All in One Package: Die-Hard​-All three tweaks, the services.jar, AND the failsafe all in one neat package. tweaks and failsafe will be placed on the SD card under folder name "ACS_V6SC". Follow the individual instructions above for the V6 SuperCharger, KickAss Kernelizer, 3G SuperCharger, and KAK failsafe.
The All-In-One DOES NOT WORK WITH AOK-FREAKING-P!!!
Having any issues? While I urge you to search through the thread for your answer if you need help with something post with the kernel, Alpha version, theme(if any), and the steps you took to install and try it. If the mod does not work the first time it could have been a bad download.
Do YOU have a speed mod you would like to contribute? Contact me! Leave a comment! Whatevs.

What exactly is the change you made in this?

Doesn't really help but do notice a small amount of difference. There's still that odd snap scrolling in scrolling through xda

I got the same result when I first installed the zip, but then I let my phone sit for a while as I watched some YouTube videos on my computer and when I began using my Epic, I noticed major improvements. No lag at all now. I've tested the scrolling in the xda app, Twitter feed, Facebook feed, browser, and through all my songs in the music app. Everything is smooth. I'm not sure if this is the mod working or not.

I actually did not create this mod. I'm just sharing it. In fact, I'm not really sure who made it. I saw it in this thread, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1342047&page=402 post #4014

Huh. I guess I never figured to make a thread for this!
I will make a github page with the changes tonight.
EDIT: Github is acting up like you wouldn't believe. I found the original thread that EB then I pulled this from. So all credit goes to AndroidON. It's incredibly easy to do.

Has anyone tried running the SuperCharger script instead to try and fix the lag? Personally I haven't but I'm curious to know if that may help.

I kinda like the snap scroll tbh. Haven't really seen "lag" in my scrolling yet though, so maybe it's more annoying for those experiencing it.

But to be honest I wasn't experiencing any major lag in the first place. Even with 10 apps open. The scroll mod is for annoying stutters while scrolling.

I already tried to contact sprint about this to clear my voicemail inbox, but instead they got rid of my 3G, so I had to go back to a ei22 rom to reactivate my phone, only to learn that the voicemail never even disappeared even when I asked them to. So how would I go by blocking this stupid voicemail? Ik its small, but it is persistently annoying. I'd rather have it just not show then to actually be fixed at the moment, similar to just turning off voicemail notifications in CM7.

Updated for Alpha 1.

Same here. Agent insisted the android visual VM was the same box as those on other phones but cleared it for me anyway. It didn't work.

I used super charger with the mod on cm7 with great results, about to try it on cm9. I'll do supercharge first, then add smooth scrolling mod n tell you what Ithink. First let me play with cm9 for a bit to get a feel for it.

[rom] miui ics 4.0.4:Updated 7/20/12

i am proud to present my 6th rom port for the heroC.
changelog:
v1
- updated to reflect henry_01's 2.7.8 port
v1-1
- added quickpic (sorry about that guys, totally forgot it)
-lowmemorykiller tweaks are now in line with roms from jordfaz and 1ceb0x
-wallpapers and sounds are now added back in
-size of apks edited some to allow for the same sized rom as v1 but with all the sounds and images put back in
to start, im not gifted enough to know how to develop, im just a lowly borrower, so if i have nothing to borrow, i have nothing to offer
also i take no responsibility for your phone crashing and burning in an epic fashion, and/or if your cat jumps off your keyboard and makes your coffee spill on your lap, or war, or famine, or disease, or anything of the sort. try at your own risk, dont bother me if your phone blows up
dont give me any credit, give the following people mad props and donate to them if you wish to:
original rom link from wfs: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1735773
Henry_01 for his port (link above)
ajrty33 for porting the first MIUI ICS rom
erwinp for the youtube fix
stritfajt for getting the camera working
mongoosehelix and all the crew over at the eris forums for the base rom
1ceb0x and the crew over at the hero gsm forums for the init.rc tweaks and the minfree settings in kernel
dsixda and his kitchen
matt, dastin, jaybob and the heroc crew
zeppelinrox and his v6 supercharger script
im sure i forgot people, im sorry if i did and if i forgot you please yell at me and ill make sure to thank you
this is based off of 4.0.4, MIUI v4 for the Wildfire S
what works:
touchscreen
sdcard
radio (data and calls)
adb
camera preview and taking pics
bigger keyboard, more like gb
wifi
sound
buttons
audio
root
vibration
bluetooth
zeppelinrox's supercharger script (just to supercharge launcher)
video playing from sdcard (use quickpic and .3gp video format)
minfrees set in kernel at boot time
mms hopefully
usb mass storage
themes
youtube (non hd)
try messing with camera settings in camera app, i turned down the resolution from 5 mp to 2.5 and picture taking worked quicker and looked better in my opinion
works with problems:
long press home displays large previews, not sure why just yet
other stuff im sure
what i didnt test: (lol its your jobs to test it)
pretty much everything else
when you flash this, remember i did not sign it, so if your using clockworkmod recovery toggle signature verification
i recommend you go let this boot all the way, then reboot. then after that, go into settings-developer options, and click the tick box next to:
background process limit/ at most 4 processes
show all ANRs
and make sure animations are off
i turn off all vibration, except for notifications, that includes the keyboard as haptic feedback slows things down.
then use script manager to run zeppelinrox's v6 supercharger to bulletproof launcher
this is the gapps i use from eris: http://www.mediafire.com/?qbpc1zthauh4c1h
md5sum: 2b4d664eda701da65d2ea2c5c928267d
(this is the same gapps offered over at the eris forums, i just added geniewidget as i like my news and weather widget)
go into phone app, hit menu, then settings, and check your voicemail number, im on boost so mine is my phone number
this port will not:
most likely be a finished project
win a beauty contest
make your manhood bigger
if you see something wrong, please fix it or ask me to
and now for the link before i forget:
MIUI 4.0.4v1-1
http://www.mediafire.com/?hjvpm1t1w31bqgw
if you see problems or have suggestions, please let me know. i dont know much about MIUI, as i havnt used it much since ajrty33 ported it for heroc (gb and original ics roms.) so if you see something that needs changed to better fit the mold of a good MIUI rom, please do let me know.
happy flashing!

Nice work man, Nice work indeed=}
#Root-Hack_Mod*Always\=LTE

thank you again
and a new version is up, based off of 2.7.8 for the nexus s i beleive. henry_01 goes more into detail about it in the link in the op. i've noticed this one to be a tiny bit faster and now has all the google stuff baked in
edited: now should read all wallpapers and sounds added back in
try it out and let me know how i did!

Another awesome rom from you, sad that we have 2.7.8 before the incredible (switched providers recently) lol
EDIT: Ahh where's the browser? Maybe just a bad flash?

i had another user inform me that the browser and music apks were gone, but i just redownloaded and reinstalled and they are both there. i think maybe it was a bad flash lol
there are still theme issues im not sure of, im still looking into them. and i did remove the file explorer app, as most people just use es or astro anyway.
other than that it seems to be working fine on my end.

Whew, glad there isn't an issue with the browser. I'll redownload then, see if that helps, because I do have the music apk. Might want to take a look at the xda build of the miui file explorer, it has root and a bunch of other goodies, that's what I'm using on my incredible atm, looks great and works great too.

K ill take a look at the Miui file browser.
And this is an hdpi rom according to the contents of the apks. It came from the nexus s I believe so that could explain alot.

It's probably just me but I'm having root issues on this ROM. I have Superuser downloaded. I even flashed the su 3.0.7 zip (Latest SU zip I'm aware of) I'm rooted obviously or else I wouldn't be here. It's just on this ROM. I tried reflashing this 3 times. Other than that, it's a really great ROM. It runs very smoothly.

Sorry about the su issues, but I think its the way that miui implements su that gives us headaches. In settings somewhere, there should be an option for root access I'm just not sure where it is. I'll look into it.

Yeah I've look at the system settings and unless it's under a different name, I don't see anything that deals with root access.

so here it goes guys. im out of the game for now. expect no new updates on the ics roms i have ported before. jb is the future, and shelnutt is the guy to get us into the future. ics roms never quite ran great anyway, so no big loss. i may pop back up in the future and throw down on some jb paranoidandroid, aokp, miui, or anything of the such, but i cannot guaruntee a thing. its been nice, but support for these roms stops here. (unless of course, anyone else would like to take these over for me, or i can get the guys from gsm hero using my allinone installer full time, then heroc will have everything they get)
if anyone would like to take over, please message me. ill be more than willing to send everything your way, since im way too busy with life in general right now.

[Q] tweeked 3.0 ROM ?

Just upgraded to tweeked 3 and have some problems:
1. I can't find the voicemail app & don't know how to call VM. where do I get the app?
2. Buddies now is missing. Won't restore via titanium backup.
3. I migrated from eclipse rom. How do I get the eclipse rom keyboard and colors?
4. Howdo Irestore the default power on and power off animations?
5. Verizon Data APP / My veerizon forces close on startup.
I think that is it for now. Will post when I have some time to play with it.

1. You don't need the app for voicemail. Just dial *86 or hold down 1 in the dialer.
2. Buddies now is considered bloat and you can only use it on the stock launcher anyway. If you want it it is in tweaktools.
3. I believe eclipse keyboard was either a themed ICS or themed Swype (I don't remember which - it was too long ago). Either way both are available if you search. As for the colors - since Nitro stopped working on the charge we don't have that, but there are a lot of themes on tweaktools.
4. Tweaktools
5. It works fine for me. Could be a bad flash, could be something else.
And I guess we have another nocturnal person here.

The vvm stuff was also deemed bloat, but all of that stuff can be restored using tweaktools OR the system apps and system app flasher in the tweaked op. Jihad has you covered on the rest (thanks Jihad).

I got the verizon app to work after deleting and reinstalling. The rest I can live with till I have a chance to research Tweaktools. Most of the stuff is minor and just me being picky as I'm not yet used to the tweeked ROM.
Tweakedtools: doesn't seem to be working. I can get into the menu and install a theme and buddies now, but they don't act as though they ever got installed. even rebooted. What the heck?

Ok. now it has the permission and does install things like buddies now, but when I try to install a theme or boot animation I get the android robot with the exclamation point and it does not install. what can I possibly be doing wrong? do i need to install something like CWM?

You don't have CWM installed? I doubt it works with stock recovery. When you installed Tweaked did you use the Odin version without CWM? You should get and install CWM.
The only 2 boot animations that work are Stock Galaxy S boot and Stock DROID boot. They use the Samsung format that works with the stock kernel. Themes should work though.

Ok. Now I understand. I did use oden version without cwm. Now I need to oden cwm and I'll be good to go.
EDIT:
Thanks for the info, everything works.
Now I need to find a suitable keyboard---possibly one that mirrors the one in the eclipse rom.
On another note, I'm not all that happy with any of the included themes. How to I create the theme I want?

If you know Java and smali, you can rip apart the framework and make your own theme.

I have no idea on how to work with Java or what smali is.
I do have the old eclipse ROM. can't i take the theme files from there and somehow load them to the phone?
Regarding the keyoard, I couldn't get that swipe one to install as the app keeps asking me to login and I don't know how to generate a username and password. I'm now thinking that it was a Samsung keyboard, but I could be wrong.

Smali is basically the decompiled Android version of Java. In Android, everything gets packed up in .dex files for the Dalvik VM (Android's optimized version of the Java VM), and when you decompile them, you get Smali. It's like Java, but "distorted", for lack of a better word. If you know how to read Java, you can feel your way around, but it's different enough that even if you're good with Java, you'll have to relearn some things for Smali.

well...I did some searching on line and I think the stock theme that comes preloaded at the factory is what I want to get back to. Also the default Samsung keyboard is the one I want.
I'm leaning towards tossing tweaked out the window rather than getting frustrated. If I do that what do I loose and how would I add root to stock?
also, I can't manage to get the phone to vibrate when i tap the screen. Haptic feedback. How do I turn it on?

No. What you think of as "files" are a series of edits in the framework. Obviously the framework for Tweaked is for Tweaked, and Eclipse is for Eclipse. If you're going to try to interchange these things you may as well just reinstall Eclipse.
For Swype, I'm not sure what you're talking about. There's a big honking button that says "register" on the website.

Not sure what you're looking at. The theme in Eclipse is NOTHING like the dickbutt gold (or pumpkin and poo) in stock. And the stock Samsung keyboard is God awful. Why not try something like SwiftKey 3? Swype is pretty good too, and it's free.
To root after restocking, all you would need to do is flash the SuperUser or SuperSU (whichever is your preference) zip in CWM. When you move from Tweaked (the only current custom ROM on the charge, by the way) you lose essentially everything. Dwitherell has put in numerous tweaks to improve the UI speed, and he has put in TSM parts... Plus you'll be back to the bloated whale this phone is at stock.
I believe most of the haptic feedback was removed in Tweaked because most view it as an annoying useless feature. I could be completely wrong but I don't really feel anything even though my haptic feedback is on.
Sent from my SCH-I510 using xda premium

I did nothing that would add or eliminate haptic feedback (outside of the entry in tsmparts, but I did nothing to hook that in if it needed hooking). Also, the stock samsung keyboard is called AxT9IME.apk. Sorry Tweaked is not to your liking. Have you tried the tw4 theme? That seems closer to the stock look at least. I didn't think anyone used it, but I can do a little work and get a stock theme variant together if you want. Also, rumor is some theme options will be added/returning soon...
And for what its worth flashing something different is a far better alternative then anything to do with a window.

Thanks for all the useful info. I must start by saying that i do like tweaked. It is much faster than what i had with eclipse. That said im not sure how much is due.to the rom and what is due.to the upgrade ota. I believe its mostly the rom. Way to go!
As for colors im not opposed to whats available im just used to what i had. The big complaint is that the calendar widgit does not have black text on a white background. Its not as legible but not horible. I can live with it. Im surprised there is no way to change colors like there is in windows control panel. Or an app for that. Oh well.
Thanks for.the keyboard.info. I'll take a look for it at lunch. As for missing the register button...it was to early to be doing anything tech.
Im sure that over time ill get more used to tweaked and be glad ro be uding it.
One last request...stock shutdown animation
Thats enough for now.

To be fair most of the speed change is due to the OTA - most of the edits made were the same as they were in the FP1 version, so I can't really take credit for that sort of thing. I don't have nor do I pretend to have the sort of skill necessary to do such things
As far as the stock shutdown animation, if there's some interest I could try to get that together. It required a number of framework.jar edits to switch the shutdown animation focus from reading a .qmg file to displaying a sequence of .pngs, so I would have to undo that sort of thing to make the shutdown.qmg work again. It wouldn't be too hard, so if there's some interest in that I can put something together and throw it on tweaktools.

I have interest but am not sure who else does and if its worth the time.
I googled the keyboard apk and downloaded it but it will not install. Is there a certain version that i need?
Sent from my SCH-I510 using xda app-developers app

FWIW, I really lock the Tweaked Shutdown animation. Just need to find a sound byte to go with that (for those occasions when my phone shuts down without me knowing) - thinking of getting something from Southpark's tweak.
as for keyboards, have you tried ICS Keyboard? best in my experience.

Ice is not my thing. I just like the Samsung keyboard best. Just can't find a copy that installs.
Also what about stock screenshot setting?
