[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

How do u fix the camera issues?

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!!!

I Need Help with HTC_IME mod Keyboard

I have been a keyboard junkie since i got my phone, hopping from one to another. Then i flashed my phone and found the glorious HTC_IME mod keyboard and have not turned away.
About 10 minutes ago i downloaded and installed one of the custom themes from gimpsters theme tool. I liked the color for a second because it fit with the theme of the phone, but i realized it was stressful to the eyes. I went and installed the Stock themed HTC_IME mod v27 just to get back to the basic keyboard, it turns out that now everytime i try to enter any text the keyboard FC's.
i not sure if im installing this right or if im installing a version not meant for my phone

You Have a non-HTC Device thats why.. you need to install another .apk called ClickerHi.apk.. find it here in the attached files..
AND REMEMBER TO TICK MY THANKS METER IF THIS SOLVES THE PROBLEM!

BTW you need to keep both apks installed.. HTC_IME and Clicker_HI !!

I've actually installed both of those files prior to writing this post (i think twice to be sure) but no luck but thanks for the suggestion.
I just went back to the gimpsta theme site and created a keyboard theme that was a little more easy to look at. Weird thing about those themes is that they don't come with the clicker_hi.apk its just a zip file that has one apk inside it and for some reason they work and the officially released one FC's

If it's Android 2.2, installing the version for 1.5 worked for some reason.

I just flashed to Axura 2.2.7.1 a couple of days a go and it turns out that the HTC_IME was removed due tom constant FC's. I had experienced this issue prior to flashing so it was a glitch between my phone and the prior rom. I'll definitely give the 1.5 version a try and see if thet solves the issues.

[Q] [REQ] Gingerbread Dialer/Contacts APK?

This might be a kind of noob-ish request, but I'm trying to avoid rooting (I know, I know) and wondered if there was a way to port over the dialer-contacts in APK form from 2.3.
I would appreciate any help/guidance.

Did anything change in the dialer between Froyo and Gingerbread?

Took these off my Nexus S. Not sure if they'll work but here you go!

Be careful. Make a backup of the original apks first (or a full nandroid backup) . if they don't work, they're likely to cause the system to crash-loop (continuous FCs). Happened too me when trying a moded phone.apk before.

Aren't the dialers the same, I didn't notice any differences apart from the look, from froyo and now on gingerbread

Thanks for the fast response, but I'm getting a parse error trying to install the APKs.
To everyone else: I'm mostly trying to get something more like AOSP over the stock HTC stuff, and most of what I've found on here is stuff designed to flash on top of ROMs for rooted phones.

[Q] Stock calendar apk

Hello all. I appreciate all of the custom roms out there. I agree withe the fact that the touchwiz ui uses garish colors, but the additions actually tend to improve on android's functionality, unlike other skins lime motoblur. Does anyone have a copy of the stock calendar apk. It seems that gummy rom got rid of it and all the roms based on gummy don't have it. I would really appreciate it.

I would like it as well. Would some one be kind enough to post it and tell how to install it?

I like the stock calendar as well.

I can attach the apk's from the deodexed EE4 version...but I dont know how to install them correctly. I keep trying to get them to work but have no clue. If someone can get them to work please let me know?
I have tried deleting the original apk's via root explorer and putting these in there place with no luck

I wish I had a way to install this. I really prefer it.

oops, I thought the op was asking for the aosp version

NEW SOLUTION FOUND - Restore ORIGINAL Verizon Visual VoiceMail

OK... First and foremost all credits, thanks, kudos and appreciation for this solution goes to Virus, this solution comes from their work.
This will restore the original Green icon VVM that many of us have been missing, and cannot find in newer roms.
(Screenshot at bottom)
The difference between this one and the newer version is that this one is integrated into the MMS/SMS layout which in my humble opinion is the best looking and most elegant solution. the last time i saw this working was in one of the earlier versions of
Eternity ROM mecha_signed_060812_063718
so i started there and extracted both the VVM and MMS apk, both are needed.
then i tried to simply install into the latest Eternity ROM without success... : (
On a whim i tried to install via a theme... and Voila success. : )
so here is the solution, i modded the theme zip for Eternity 1.0 so that it only replaces the MMS and VVM and this worked twice in testing.
So far as i know this should work in any rom with HTC Sense, ASOP will not support the mms.apk therefore it wont work on those roms, but i can only guarantee the rom i tested in...
this will replace your MMS.apk in Sense roms, but this shouldn't be an issue
For ICE CREAM SANDWICH look here... http://www.teambamf.net/topic/4331-romics-leak-for-htc-mecha-7006052-403-08212012/
let me know if you run into any issues
instructions
remove your current VVM
(I recommend a rooted uninstall such as Titanium, Rom Toolbox, or whatever)
then boot into recovery
wipe dalvick
wipe cache
install update zip
reboot

I never knew there was any way to get vvm on any aosp rom. That's why I switched to gvvm. I would have kept vvm had I known.. Great work.

ok nevermind, i just loaded up MiniBAMF and the ASOP version did not work.
The MMS.apk needs sense to work, and therefore since that wont happen on an ASOP rom the VVM.apk didnt load.
i have removed the ASOP version.
Sorry guys... : (

Since I already have gvvm set up and you cannot delete your phone number once foolish enough to give it to them I won't be changing back to vvm. It is still a great accomplishment and I hope others can use it. Nice to see folks still putting this kind of work in the tbolt.

Wonder if this is gonna work on the liquid ics ? The version. I had on liquid 3.2 won't work.

that depends, i have a thunderbolt therefore i cant test ICS, but if ICS can run a gingerbread version of the mms.apk then yes. but i dont know enough about the mms.apk on ICS to speak intelligently on this...

Awesome accomplishment!!

Thank you for helping the Thunderbolt community!!

What's the difference other than the icon? And I wanna say mine wouldn't work straight out the market On liquid 3.2. That's why I searched fire this one. Its the same version but I guess they had to make some changes.
