[THEME] Black Juice v4 for rubiX Focused 1.9.0 by Juicemane
[ROM] Rumm Rx v1.0 - First dose of awesomeness by jrummy16
Please thank these developers for their efforts and time spent to make our devices sick as hell.
Just treat it as any other D2 Rom or follow the link instructions that apply to the ROM your about to flash:
1. Bootstrap recovery
2. Reboot recovery
3. DO A NANDROID BACKUP!(Optional but recommended!)
4. Wipe data & cache
5. Mount system and mount data
6. Install zip from sd card
7. Reboot Phone
Please let me know of any bugs you come to find besides the top row on the device keyboard not working correctly and the version warning pop up when using Swype so I can attempt to fix these minor issues and expand our limited library of custom ROM's !
Thank you,

Rumm Rx on my DROID 2....
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vlaHk8_Fmpo

Did you have any problems with these roms?

I tried Rumm Rx v1.0. The problem with the keyboard is really just a mapping issue.
The part that didn't sit well with me was that it ran rather clunkily in comparison with ApeX.

i just posted a keyboard fix http://www.droidforums.net/forum/droid-2-roms/103957-ultimate-droid-d2-here-4.html#post1068253 over on droid forums. and i got camera working on rumm rx. just no video. and i linked your post at df over in the general section here

The only two problems that I have found so far are:
- The hardware keyboard has some mapping issues
- The camera needs to have the max mega pixels change in your ROM's build.prop.
Both of these issues have been remedied by Mikeyinid

Dont give me the credit. Actually the keybaord fix is very simple, and the camera fix only works on rumm rx and Squiddly directed me on how to get it goin(for the most part). And it has nothing to do with the build.prop, not that I changed anyway. I just deleted everything camera and media related and put it in from a near stock(as close to stock as I can find)rom. The backlight is also an issue on most DX roms on the D2. I figured it out on UD but cant figure it out with the rubix or darkslide rom. Speaking of darkslide, that is a very sharp rom, I asked the dev that made it about a port and he said he will work on it starting next week. That will be a very nice addition to D2 rom line-up. You can check that rom out here http://www.mydroidworld.com/forums/droid-x-roms/5788-rom-darkslide-v4.html

I'm going to try out the apex 1.3 gingerbread style rom built for the dx right now to see if it works... will that be safe or is that stupid to go ahead and try out the rom?

You do those things at your own risk... I have personally flashed every DX rom I can find on my D2, they ALL booted. Your gonna run into the same problems on all of them though; no camera, physical keyboard issues(easy fix), and maybe backlight staying on. Im not saying to do it, but if your gonna do it, be prepared for the problems I mentioned. One thing I will say, Im almost positive that if that rom is alot different than the ApeX thats already been ported, fab will bring it to the D2 also. Patience is a virtue

Ok. Also go system>lib>delete dsp and hw folders and replace them with ones from the D2. Then, go system>usr> and delete keychars and keylayout folders and replace them with ones from D2. That will get physical keyboard working. Let me know what the rom is like.

The DX roms wont work 100% The camera will NOT work because it is a different camera and requires different libs and the keyboard is unmapped because it doesn't have the correct keychars from the DROID2. Otherwise they work fine. I made JRummy a good D2 copy and kejar a D2 copy of his rom.

speaking of keyboard mapping would you happen to know which file to edit to stop the back button on the keyboard from working or to make it only back up when i hold it or press it twice? just wondering.
I don't know how many times I've typed up a long post only to have it all disappear with a misplaced keystroke.

I can an update.zip with the needed files to make a 2.3.340 based DX rom work with a D2.. if anyone wants it?

Ok guys I posted in the DX dev forums the files needed to port a DX ROM to a D2... Its in an update.zip format... Use at your own risk!!!

Multi-Boot different ROMs. Boot Manager Pro Compatibility list.

[ MyTouch 4G Slide - Boot Manager Pro Compatibility ]​
I'm not affiliated with Init 2 Winit Apps in any way. I'm just an average user aiming to help the community.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------​
Boot Manager Pro is an application that allows you to boot different ROMs easily (the App claims in can handle unlimited slots, as long as your SD Card supports it ). Kinda like Dual Booting Linux and Windows, two different operating systems on one computer. Boot Manager Pro is like that, you set up your default ROM through recovery and then you "Install" ROMs on separate slots, and then you boot them with a simple tap. This is perfect for Flashaholics and anyone who simply desires to test a ROM, no need to be constantly backing up and restoring different ROMs from nandroids.
This App is NOT free, you can get it from the Android Market for $2.99 [as of Feb 25, 2012]​
Over the past few days I've been playing with this app, trying to get ROMs running on it. Some MyTouch 4G Slide ROMs are compatible with Boot Manager Pro, others aren't. This thread aims to list what ROMs work, and what ROMs don't work with this app. If you've tried any additional ROMs, please add a comment and let us know! Also! I recommend plenty of storage space. Each ROM would take about 1.9 GB off your SD Card. I recommend a 16GB Class 6 or 10 card. Whatever suits you best!
This App was developed by Init 2 Winit Apps. Credits and a Screen shot are attached.​
Working ROMs​
Pyr'o'Ice ICS Desensed 1.1.1
Pyr-o-Ice Sense 1.1.0
Virtuous Unity 2.39.0 ROM (I wasn't able to install it from ZIP, instead I had to install it from recovery, run a nandroid backup, and then restore the nandroid to a ROM Slot on Boot Manager Pro. This ROM has the original stock Doubleshot Camera)
TBalden's CM9 OpenSensation Port
Rubix ICS 5.3 (thanks dung8604)
Wildchild IcE v0.1 ALPHA (AOKP/CM9)
ICS Virtuous ROMs should work (not tested)

NON-Working ROMs​
MIUI (tbalden was able to get it working by unplugging the USB, removing the battery, and rebooting constantly until it worked - if it works for someone else, please confirm)
CM7
Virtuous Infinity (thanks NovaxxBite)
Hopefully we can find a reason why these ROMs don't work. It can perhaps be the version/kernel of the Phone's ROM, who knows!
If anyone can get one of these ROMs working by Flashing them as the phone ROM from recovery, making a nandroid, and restoring the nandroid to a separate slot, please let us know!
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
If anyone has tried any other ROMs, please let us know! Also, messing with the Boot Manager Pro settings may enable some ROMs under "Non-Working" to work, I have yet to try it.​

Good thread. Perhaps we can e mail the developers and bring it to their attention

Not sure how, but I got rubix 5.3 working with boot manager. Stock kernel, I believe.

I think I have a copy of that ROM sitting on my SD Card, I loved how smooth that ROM was but I started disliking it when it began to be stripped out of it's core functions... Like, when the DS camera was removed. Thanks for the heads up!
What's your Phone ROM currently ?

Currently on pyr o ice 1.1.1, gonna update soon to 1.1.2. I believe I was able to flash the gallery and camera zip fixes. I plan on using it mainly for tv out, and if I want really good pictures. Day to day, camera ics and/or the sensation camera that came with pyr o ice is good enough.
If you want to keep all that stuff, just use 5.2. There isn't a whole lot of difference between the two.
On another note, I've been trying for like four hours to get miui.us to load in slot 2. Still no go. I have no clue how tbalden got it to load.

I used to have 5.2, well... Whatever, I'll give it a shot later! Pyroice does have a good Camera, but it's missing 1080p recording. I use Pyroice as my daily driver, and if I need to take an HD video I just switch quickly.
I loaded MIUI as my Phone ROM, But I've had no luck getting it on any slot. It gets stuck on the Splash screen. I asked tbalden for advice and he suggested the battery pull technique, I gave
up after 6 boots... Lol!

Same here, I don't know how he got it working. I'm not even all that interested in miui, but not being able to load is is annoying. Boot manager is really flaky sometimes.

I don't know if I'm doing it wrong or what, but this app is flaky for me. Can't get wildchild's ROM booting, and I really want to try it

I was able to boot CM7 selfkang via BootManager.
one thing i notices is when you first create a slot you have to make sure the screen dosnt go to sleep because if it dose it seems to stop creating the .img files and then they are not in the proper size they should be and that seems to cause issues at least for me i dont know if anyone else experienced this issues.
After the files were created successfully install CM7 in it worked perfectly for me.

Honestly, I've done everything right. This app is beta at best. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.

[Q] Can anybody point me to a Doubleshot Camera flashable zip?

I can't seem to find a zip for the stock doubleshot camera.
If not how would you do it manually through adb? I know id have to adb pull (or something along those lines) but where do I do that from?
And afterwards where would I adb push to?
P.S. I forgot how great Rubix Infused 5.3 was. Especially now with blue and yogis new kernels! Have been running yogis UV6 for about a month on bulletproof ZERO problems and now on Rubix with no problems!

Flash through clockworkmod like normal.

[APK][APP] Miui Camera for HTC Sensation

Hi all,
I have been using CM9 on my sensation for a while now and I like it very much
But I don't really like the camera interface... So here is the MIUI Camera V17 for the sensation which can be used on android 4.0 and you can just install it as an normal application.
I thought you might want to have it as well.
This is not my application and not my work! All the credits go to the MIUI team
Maybe someone can check if there is a newer version available from the current miui roms?
Bugs:
No camcorder function working.
'Can't find camera' error after used the standard one.

Is anybody interested?
I always thought that a lot of people didn't liked the standard cm9 camera...

It's not working on ARHD 6.6.4 after normal install.

Not worked ordroid too
Sensation cihazımdan gönderildi

Might have to push it to /system/app and set permissions. I'll give it a go cause the stock ICS camera sucks.
Edit: It works but crashes when trying to switch to video mode.

I think the app might have some problems with sense roms.. maybe because it's a totally different framework..
It should work normally on vanilla ics roms.. like mine
Pushing it and fixing permission might help

Yes that's correct...
Do you know where we can find the miui camera which is beeing used in android 4.0 miui roms?

Well, in an MIUI 4 rom of course. However, no idea. Not much an interest to find it either - I don't care for MIUI.

Do you know how you can extract a certain apk from a rom?

I have tried to extract the camera application from the new MIUI Pyramid roms... but unfortunately they have been using the framework from sense and therefore is the camera not working on vanilla android

4.2 camera

Anyone else tried the 4.2 camera on an ao-p 4.x rom for our phone? I'm running it now on cm10 and finally, finally...not only am I not sacrificing the good camera for the good everything else, but the new cam takes full advantage of our hardware, even better than the htc shipped sense camera.
I'd post a link to the zip I used, but i'd then feel liable for brickage. There's a few zips out there on this site. Install with full precautions.

Go in, post it. Or link to the thread you got it from. What could possibly go wrong?
(Anyway, we're all adults and I'd far rather try from the one you used than take a punt - far more likely it'll go wrong.)

Yes, please. A link would be great!

If you guys flash something meant to be flashed on another device you'll probably get yourself into some big problems and maybe even a brick on our DS. You'd be much better off pulling the associated app(s) out of it & just copying them to your "system/app" folder in your ROM.

I had a similar experience but didn't report on it because I had the same issue on 4.2 as I had with Swype (I was on Jellybam)... Sorry I can't help.

Just tested on Sense 3.6, 4.0.3 and the camera + the gallery work great, except for the sphere and panorama. Everything runs smoothly, I am so grateful right now that I can use this awesome camera on Sense, will test it more tomorrow
