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.

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/MOD/AWESOME]MeatRom v106 Updated 2-14-11

This is just a simple, basic rom, I've been using it a few days and a couple people have tried it. It uses a stock deodexed system with some of the sprint and samsung bloatware removed. I've added a few apps that I often use, and a couple I don't. This should work with both rfs and ext4 file systems, and uses the edify script so its flashable via cwm3.
I wont be adding any themes or anything fancy to this, its just a slightly modified stock system, but it runs pretty strong. So, don't expect super beautiful. The boot animation is just a basic flashing android logo, however you should be able to insert your own if you would like.
I personally don't use the ATK as the phone manages memory fine on its own, but for those who need it, or if you have pesky apps that need killed its there. Linpack is there if thats your thing.
As with anything regarding flashing custom anything, you assume the risk. Always keep a recent backup, and know that your warranty is void (If you didn't already know this, you should now)
I'll be adding and removing stuff as I see fit, and I work at my pace.
Things I've added
The recompiled libdvm, seems people are seeing benefit from it so I added it here.
Dameon's ext4/rfs kernel
The stock deodexed and zipaligned /system from ACS
Spare parts
Zeam Launcher
Gingerbread Keyboard (multi touch support)
Things I've removed
Most of the samsung/sprint bloatware
Touchwiz launcer. (Zeam and the Froyo launcher are both on the phone, if you don't like zeam its in /system/apps, remove it)
Stock Email.apk - Will be added in 106
Memo.apk
ThinkFree Office
Samsung's Keyboard
Swype
Boot animations
Boot animation sound
Change Log 106
added the stock email.apk back
changed my edify script to fix issues with cwm3
added the tutorial on first startup so google backup works if you use it - I know its a pain in the butt the first time around, but worth it.
I would like to personally thank Ften for letting me borrow some space on his website, there are space constraints, so I will only have the latest there, if you need a previous version pm me here, or at www.sdx-developers.com my screen name there is MeatCurtains.
Change Log 107
Minor changes
Removed some of the "useful" apps I added
Removed Facebook, Memo, and ThinkFree Office
Removed Swype and Samsung's keyboard
Added the Gingerbread keyboard
Boot animation sounds should also be removed
I was going to remove Launcher2 (Stock Froyo launcher)but left it just in case someone needs a backup launcher. Will be removed for sure on my next release for sure
Again, I didn't make any crazy changes, system is still fairly stock save for the DVM.
107 on will be available at the sdx-downloads link provided.

The name is based off of my typical screen name of MeatCurtains. I've used the Meat[kernel, rom, mod, ect] naming for a while now. I just stuck with it.
The inches idea will be pondered

As you know, but for records, installed from 2.5.1.2 on Bonsai4all with ext4 without without wiping anything and got Gmail force closes. Wiped data/cache/dalvik and reflashed, no change. Finally, odined to stock dk28 and reflashed as rfs (too lazy to do ext4 conversion) and reflashed and no issues whatsoever. Great rom man!

This is JesterCorp... talked earlier on freenode, just an update.
flashed to dk28 with odin then updated to the latest cwm that isnt 3.0 and installed meatrom, seems to be working great. Not sure why things were weird the other route. Thanks for all the help

Thanks guys, ill take a look to find out what the issue was. I may add formatting to the /data partition so see if that fixes it

That's odd, I flashed over bonsai and had no issues at all (save for the gmail one which I believe was due to me forgetting to wipe data/cache/dalvik and thus no fault of yours). To add to my parenthetical statement, the fact that I had ONE force close after doing that is just a confirmation of how well built your rom is man. Great job, I love it. If I wasn't getting an Evo tomorrow I'd be running it and I'll be suggesting it to the guy I'm trading with lol

Anymore feedback? I need to know what is broken before I can fix it for the next release.
Also, I will probably be adding rom manager support for updating through clockworkmod

thanks for going out of your way to create this rom

The only real complaint i have is that for whatever reason i cant seem to get the call log to view by "all calls" instead i have to do all logs... which shows text messages in the call log. Maybe im just doing it wrong, but ive never had any other rom get stuck on all logs before.?? I really like it so far otherwise tho.
thanks!
Dave

Glad to see you over here Meat (followed your moment stuff when I was setting up my gf's moment)
and slight tangent from the OP, but everytime I see the rom version 105.1, I can't help but hear the station jingle from a local station in RDU. "105.1... G105" except "105.1 Meat 105" keeps creeping into my head.
Anyways... as you were, folks.

This rom does not flash thru cwm 3.0.5 I wiped data cach and dalvik 2 x and still end up on,the same rom previously installed quantum2.7 or bonsai 1.1.4 same result any suggestions

So I have been on DI18 for a week but now need flash again for a poker app I want to try so I am downing this now. I am interested in trying the dvm also. One question, you think about turning on the auto market update thing like when the phone is new? It makes it easier when it downloads all my paid apps for me, or maybe you know how I can turn that on myself? Is it in build.prop?
Glad to see some Meatware on the epic front

VERY FRUSTRATING! Home Screen Redraw

Im experiencing so much home screen re draw it is discomforting and frustrating ive never wanted to throw a phone against the wall. What can i do to fix it?! I know for the droid x there were some command lines that seemed to work but it causes boot loops for me here. Has anyone else experienced this!?

Download and install the tweaks using CWM from within the same gummy thread. Should fix you then.

I have the same frustration. Mine occurs when taking the phone off the media/charging dock. It takes a good 10 seconds or longer for my home screen icons to show back up. I am running gummy charged and have installed the tweak and I even disabled the dock mode but it still has this lag. I wish there was a way for it to not go into dock mode at all. Even with it turned off it still puts my phone in landscape and takes forever to return to normal when I remove it. I just want it to charge it. That's it. It's frustrating bc I keep it on my desk at work charging while I tether to my iPad but when I get a text I want to pick up and reply quickly but I can't bc of the above reason. Rather annoying.

Are you on Humble? no offense to danalo but that thing is so slow on my phone. Every single version, especially the services.jar frame work for the pulldown menu. that thing lags.
If you want smoothness try Eclipse 1.2 (not the latest)
That cleared all my redraws

Try both of these. The V6 Supercharger is easier than the Loopy Smoothness tweak, but my phone has never been snappier after using them. Plus I don't get redraws. Ever.

Can you post decent noob friendly instructions on how to install that? Thanks man

Nvm, i think i figured it out. Did you choose option 6 "hard to kill launcher"
and did you downgrade busybox to 1.82?

Option 7 has made my phone alot faster. Which one do you use ?

Personally, I use numbers 10 and 11. 11 fixes the OMM groupings. For 10 I use the following settings: 6, 8, 28, 30, 32, 36. And yes, I did downgrade busybox. I also used Zepp's 3g TurboCharger and KickAssKernel(The one without the IO scheduler, I was getting bootloops with it) tweaks plus a bunch of other build.prop tweaks. If you're interested in any of them let me know and I'll post the ones I've found to work best.

I would love a step by step tutorial for setting up the V6 supercharger as when I did it it jacked my phone up and I had to wipe and restart

Thinking about giving people an option in the toolbox to select there launcher which would then modify the script for them to match the one they have...
if you really good with this script, hit me up on a PM and maybe you take take a look at it and give your input..

Put the V6_SuperCharger_for_Android*.sh.txt file on your sd card.
Download busybox installer and script manager from the market.
Install busybox 1.18.2
Run script manager and open the V6_SuperCharger file. Make sure to run as ROOT.
Select a text scrolling speed. 2 is suitable if you plan to read all the lines.
Choose a setting. 6 is a good place to start.
Then enter option 16 to reboot your phone. (It will happen immediately)
Go back and run the script again. If the current minfrees match the previous minfrees (These lines are right under the 1-17 menu options), then the settings stuck and you're good to go!
If they don't match, post back here and I'll tell you what to do next. I just don't want to post more than necessary so that it doesn't confuse anyone else reading this.

I honestly just applied this script a few days ago. I try to read into everything as much as possible before applying any tweaks to my phone, so I'd like to think I have a decent handle on how it works.

ok so what if you already have busybox 1.18.4 installed by using a Rom with it already in it?
edit..I found it in the system xbin and renamed it with .bak at end...so I guess I can install the 1.18.2 one right?

I see the lower 2 are actually updates....so I am assuming I do the top one?
nevermind I read small print....zip is for milestone units

Are these okay to run if we have Voodoo enabled?

Just use update 8.
Yes. It'll work with Voodoo enabled. Maybe I should just make a tutorial for the charge... All of the info is in the OP, just read through it all a few times until it makes sense.

If you could make a tutorial, I would be eternally indebted!
Have you noticed a positive effect with the 3G turbo script? Does it also help with LTE?

Well I posted a brief walkthrough on the previous page. I was just thinking that this is starting to take away from the original topic.
I did apply the 3g Turbo script and made some additional changes to build.prop. It definitely increases the 3g data, but I didn't notice too much of a change to LTE.

It's based on playin4sheezy's boneSTOCKeteer, with some tweaks but staying true to stock touchwiz in most ways, while adding functionality.
I'll try to keep this updated frequently, I should definitely have the time for AT LEAST weekly updates, as long as there is something to be added or improved on.
Latest:
Beta 0.3
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/13957069/cobra_betav3.zip
Old:
Beta 0.2
DOWNLOAD: http://dev-host.org/T0t
Also I wanted to make this a community effort, if something is broken and you can fix it, please do, and let me know, if not, you'll just have to explain the issue and I'll work on it. I'll gladly merge whatever fixes/improvements come about from you guys into the project to keep it healthily maintained.
Mods:

AS Usual I am not responsible for any damage this may cause to your phone
Issues:
Csip force closes after initial setup, works fine afterwards
anything else?
Expect more features and tweaks soon as this is still in early beta.
I'll try to get screens up soon, but believe me when i say this thing looks exactly like the stock software your phone came with.

Just in case..

again, just in case.

First, yeahhhh, well off to flash, thank-you for keeping us busy
and i have a quick question, did you remove the tethermanager.apk from the rom, that way we can tether with no problems

Looks good so far. Will definitely give this a go. Thanks

I have not looked into that, but if it is under /system/app/ it is gone as I can't find it. If I'm wrong correct me and I will be sure to remove it.

This sounds right up my alley on how I like my ROMs. Definitely gonna try it out. Thank you for your work good sir.

is it support NFC?

I'm not sure if it works as I have nothing to test it on, but nfc can be enabled in settings if that's any indicator.

what do you mean nothing to test on?
I thought you had a skyrocket?

I do I just don't have anything to read an nfc tag from.

Update coming soon, worked out the issues with dsp manager, got the supercharger functioning off the bat for the most part, removed swype as it expired. Working on adding more features after school today, if you have any requests post em in now

hulu, please, voice command

If you can confirm wifi calling on Rogers, I'm sold.

I don't have Rogers myself so I'm not sure how I'd test that, and I'm about to release my update so i'll look into hulu and voice commands, for now you could try side loading and see if it works.

Yeah hulu worked with Seanz hulufied adobe,
i couldn't find a voicecomand that would work well with bluetooth
also if you could add the crysis battery and crysis signals, they just look good, or it could just be personal preference

I'll definitely look into adding the hulu flash player to the rom, as long as when I test it it doesn't have any drawbacks.

def. try it, and if you could also do some theming, if its not too much to ask

[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.

Try making /data/system/theme.
Some of the theme issues are probably hdpi/mdpi issues

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.

Reflash brought the browser back. Runs well considering the specs of our phone lol

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.
