Trackpad wake?
Does this ROM incorporate trackpad wake? I read the OP of Creamed Glacier and didn't see anything about trackpad wake. Or perhaps there is some way of manually doing it yourself? Anyway my power button is pretty much screwed lol but I really want to try ICS. I apologize if this question has already been answered somewhere.

No trackpad wake. the virtuous quattro beta 7 has it though, so you could probably find a way how to get it in there or ask feb

Guyz, have you tested any of these????

rules are rules whether you want attention or not. im sure this will come to the evo when source or an ruu leaks.
CM6 already has Landscape homescreen... Just gotta make sure the fancy widget changes to whats above.
If you use launcher pro, the launcher icons rotate too.
CM 6 (stock vanilla froyo) does this. and its better than sence.
Example... The fancy widget needs a better landscape mode
Swyped from my Snappified Evo via XDA App
Just a notion here, but when did everyone start using CM6?
The day it came out

When we see a non_TMobile Vision leak we should be able to obtain Landscape sense by using a few apk's from it.

?. What widgets are those that show battery and such.
I am not running the CM due to lack of 4g and camera issues. But I am sure it will be on my rotation soon, right now Fresh has had the least force closes for me.

I wouldn't use it. In my opinion its not very good. I don't like the looks of a lot of it. Lots of things still need a lot of work.

+1...I prefer vanilla in a lot of areas compared to sense, but I always find myself going back to sense. LauncherPro is getting better though.
Works fine with LauncherPro as well. I have 4G and all that good stuff on a fast, stable ROM. I have not found any Sense widget that doesn't have an equal or superior replacement anyway. They're OK but not very customizable and kinda gaudy/glossy.

Love the fact that we have something for MIUI with out buying an app.
Made by the same people that make ripple lock. Both replacements have very good graphically, but they need to learn that root users need to ability to NOT to disable lockscreen, as this is a stupid way to bypass the stock lockscreen, as Tesla the Guy who made widget locker figured out, and uses root to bypass the stock lockscreen which is better.
Tesla has stated he's going to add sense 3.0 replica style lock, but don't know when he will do it

Not for me it works great with cm7.1 RC1 i love this i used miui for a couple of weeks and i loved this lockscreen but had to come back to cm7 because how much faster and stable it was (also i love that you can change the shortcuts!
The developer of this app annoys me. He always updates his free version before he updates the paid version, he did this with ripple lock as well.
Sent from my ADR6300 using Tapatalk
I can't seem to disable the default lock so this one is only used as well as power button not waking. tried with a fresh wipe and flash install.these are effecting cm7 nightly 146 with Chad's 6/19 kernel with aggressive undervolt.
Did you disable lock screen in CM settings>tablet tweaks?
forgot about that.that worked once I disabled the poweramp lock widget which also enabled the system lock. that's all good but the power button doesn't do squat while it's locked
I haven't used the app, but it sounds like something that may need to be fixed with it, unless there's some setting for the lockscreen app that you need to change.
Multiple people are complaining about the power button problem both on xda and the market reviews. I emailed the developer about it but no response. The app is very similar to the developers on ripple lock. GREAT potential he just needs to work on it. I hope teslacoil releases a new WL with the sense 3.0 lockscreen soon, I like widgetlocker

Nice home app! Very smooth. No lags.
It works very well except when I press the top button to see the menu to shut down, the phone freezes and after a while it reboots, not on the initial "Sony Ericsson" screen but in the next animated screen. So, to shut down the phone I need to take the battery out. I don't know if it happens only with my X10...
Other nice feature to consider: Samsung Widgets.

[Q] HyperSensation-CM7.1-v0.3 - Replace notification bar

Noob here! HyperSensation is definitely my fav rom. The only thing I don't like is the icons in the notification bar. How would I go about changing to something more like the sense notification bar? Rather have text and slider volume control. Thanks!!!!

Well, you don't. That's a part of sense, and it requires a TON of coding to even get it started.

Yes. ANYTHING sense based, will not work on an aosp based rom. (There is some HTC keyboard mod floating around that works though)

He is most likely on an ICS build which does not have that function. It opens the browser, I tried today to change the function in ICS Sense but the only change I made was to make it TAB rather than browser. But there are many threads around here to explain this, maybe one could go at it with a text editor to achieve what they want?

I second the request in this thread, only less bitterly.
I became a little hooked on that function I guess! I'd also love to turn the slide out keyboard's back key to a keypress delete or something and a long press back so I don't lose XDA posts once in a while!
