Is it just me, after i inherit this sidekick from a coworker as a co phone, i notice there is not many choices on Cook Roms. Coming from a vibrant, there nothing to use. Stuff that is months old is still not updated. Just wondering is there every going to be a GB rom.. like 2.3.x versions anytime soon?
This has been brought up many times but the main issue is really we lack a dev capable of hand writing drivers for a gingerbread kernal. And making drivers i can imagine is no easy task like the devs at cyanogen making Bluetooth drivers for the nook color when the device had no source code or existing code to go off of to enable blue tooth. Eventually samsung/tmobile will release a gingerbread rom for our phone but atm we have only froyo based roms to go off of an you can only do so much with froyo though ayoteddy did add a neat feature to glorious overdose that allowed swiping across the status bar to adjust screen brightness.

For those of you who like/love the lock screen of Sense 3.0 then this app is for you. Its called Agile Lock and it has tons of options/settings for things such as changing the font of the lock screen, of course being able to have the 4 app shortcuts on the lockscreen just like Sense 3.0, and much more. I spoke to the dev/one of the devs behind this masterpiece (Bo Zhang) and he seems pretty cool and he said if I/we have any ideas to help improve this app then feel free to email him @ [email protected].
This app can be found in the Android Market by typing in "Agile Lock". There is a free version and a paid version, but I definitely recommend buying the paid version.

Yea its a nice app but it definitely wont work with cm which sucks cuz I really dig the app I tryed disabling cm lockscreen twice it was a. No go probably a good app for froyo or ota based roms

Why doesn't it work? Try emailing Bo and tell him. I'm pretty sure he'll make it work. He seems very understanding. I emailed him about 2 ideas and he said one of the ideas will be implemented in the next release and the other will be in the one after that. I just finish emailing him. He's awake!
Edit: I just caught on to what you said. Sounds like its an issue with CM7. Maybe you can contact one of the devs and ask them how to make it work. They should be more than willing to make it work since CM is about personalization.

Did you restore specifically for this app or you just like the stock rom? I'm on the stock rom also and I personally don't have any issues with it. I honestly must of had one random reboot in opposed to 5-10 on Froyo.

I agree. I love the stock rom minus not having the LG camera and the radio needs to be updated. Places where I used to have signal I now do not have signal at all.

Love having the sense 3.0 lockscreen, however I have a quick question. I'm on CM7 and i have it applied but the CM7 lockscreen still appears also. I looked in system/apps but did not see a lockscreen apk. How can I disable the CM7 lockscreen?

XDA member Sarni84 mentioned that same issue. I'm on the non rooted Gingerbread OTA so I can't check right now plus I'm at work, but when I get home I can extract the CM7 file to my computer and search through it. In the meanwhile go to the CM7 posting and see if anyone has found a solution or can find a solution. I usually get home around 5-6pm Eastern.

No problem. I found it to be too much of a hassle personally. Nice app though. Maybe future versions will be compatible with CM7-based ROMs.
Hey guys FatalityBoyZahy Mister Hat(??? is that it sorry) and I are going to be developing a new ROM for our beloved G2x and we need some ideas on what you guys would like to see so post em here and we will try to incorporate everything that gets a lot of votes.
Alright guys have fun and well see what happens.
Votes:
Theme for ICS: 1
Should make a theme from the leaked pictures of ics.

Keep it clean and smooth. Don't need all the junks.
Usable
-GPS Lock
-A2DP
-Good Camera
-low battery drain
-A good, fast launcher that's fully customizable
-I love notification toggles
Make it all work and you'll get the devotion of the entire community!
Notification toggles are a must. I can't use a rom without them.
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium
-HDMI output control
-Ability to use both Netflix and HBO Go.
-Colorized theme
-Toggle controls (sound, wifi, data, gps, etc) in drop down.
Battery life is the most important aspect for my daily needs. Not of big fan of CM7. I would prefer a Rom setup similar to stock regarding internal and external storage.
Add lots of color but keep the fonts stock. Theming the black and white icons found on stock would be great.
+1 on the NetFlix comment.
Thank you for your efforts.

Personally I would like to see a pure Gingerbread rom with OC'ed kernel and just adding the Theme Chooser. I don't need notification toggles because I can just use the power control widget on a homescreen in order to toggle. I'm more interested in speed and stability myself and don't worry about battery life like others. Though I can see how battery life would be important. I OC right now to 1.55/1.55 with performance governor, so my personal battery life is crap, lol.
Just something simple, stable Kernel (but without sacrificing performance and battery life), and definitely gotta have the LG camera.
So, I'm guessing most of you would like a 2.3.3 based ROM?

Would be nice if it were 2.3.5, lol.
2.2.2 has Enables for Background sync, and Auto-sync. I'd like to have a timed sync - like while "screen off", every n minutes allow background and auto syncing, then disable syncing.
It appears that when WiFi calling is active, the cell radio is enabled or occasionally enabled? I'd like to see the cell radio totally disabled when WiFi calling is active.
Maybe the wrong thread, but it'd be good to be able to "nice" individual processes.
I suppose some of these are already do-able, I just hadn't found it yet.
Thanks.

Weapons does not have the ability to play Netflix. CM7 does, but HBO Go doesn't work; plus CM7 doesn't allow you to adjust HDMI output.

Does the skyrocket have a notification light for missed calls, SMS, etc...or itps there a way to get it working?
Sent via rooted SkyRocket
There's no notification LED on the device.
Just use NOLED from the Market or XDA.
Just tried noled, and it doesn't work...it also lagged the a$&% out of my phone...anyone else got this to work on the skyrocket?
Sent via rooted SkyRocket
when I had the OGSGS2 I also tried NoLED as well. It was a pain in the arse to work with.
it was only compatible with Widgetlocker and the Samsung's unlock screen always gave it trouble (double unlock). Go SMS Pro pop-up would over sees NoLED... etc..etc..
Essentially I was pretty fed up with trying to get everything to coexist.
The only other alternative is wait for a kernel with BLN support on the SkyRocket. Hopefully the source code will be release soon, then we can start working on compiling new kernels with new features
NoLed worked on my, i have I727 on Rogers, i think this is same phone as on ATT
What about the home, etc. buttons?
What about the light up "home", etc. buttons at the bottom? I'm actually annoyed that I can't see them at night when they're off.
Maybe someone could figure out how to control their lighting as a surrogate notification light.

When using GB I loved CM7 for the notification widgets. I could change the settings without leaving applications on the front.
I love the stock ICS I'm currently using, but I miss those notification widgets. I see there are some roms with this feature, but not customizable yet. And they don't have Edge control which I need badly.
Any idea which rom has worked this out?
J know the cm9s have it an some aosp have it integrated
Yes. Use the search feature.
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using XDA App. Developer of brickROM, and OP of XDA Thread of The Year 2011.
Its called wigetsoid which can be found on the market. It allows for the widget to be placed on the status bar in the advanced menu.
However, if you're running CM9 they already have it done and can be configured with different buttons.
If you really like them so much you can use MIUI v4. Works perfectly in it.
BTW I also think that its about time someone gets customizable notification widgets in his rom. We have geniuses for devs for crying out loud..
Thank you. I'm very flattered that you think I'm a genius!!

I'm running a CM9 kang at the moment, and really liked this feature in CM7. However, can someone please point me to the control for customizing the notification set in CM9. In my noodness i haven't been able to find it in CM9.
I just thought I would ask if anyone knows of developers updating to the new baseband so all of us users can gauge when to do the upgrade. I know that "you'll get your new ROMs when you get therm." is the standard XDA response, but I just wanted to gauge the development.
Hard to say. Seems like ICS is the thing now. I'm sure they are though.
If I'm bored today I was thinking about looking to try to put the extra reboot options in power menu lol .
The only changes I'm particularly interested in are to get a battery icon that shows the numerical percentage and to get rid of the "fully charged" popup, both of which were in lotherius' Tsugi, based on an earlier leaked version of this ROM. Otherwise, I'm happy with it in its current state.

Tsugi was based off p95g that's why ums was buggy. Just because something is the same android version does not mean they are alike.
I've managed to port most of the tweaks options and the toggles from weapon. After I get that 100% I'll add some lock screens and such.

Yup they're already done. I think I'm gonna throw an all new theme over the ROM just to have something different.
Other features I'm thinking about adding are crt animations, swype to remove notifications, and a few others here and there. I'm not going to add extended power menu because toggles already handle all that. These other features and new lock screens will probably come as updates since I'm trying to get something stable to use first. And lock screens are a major pain in the ass.
