[APP] SMSTimestampFixer (Fixes SMS order problem) [v.1.3.1 - 28 April 2010]

Description:
This aims to fix the problem that occur when you use threaded messaging mode, that is sometimes the sms's appearing in the wrong order.
Background:
This problem is due to the fact that HTC Messaging app uses the device time to stamp on a send SMS and uses the server (service provider) time in received SMS and then uses that time to show and order the SMS in the thread mode (I'm not sure if native windows mobile app has this problem too). So if your device time is not in "perfect" sync with the server time sometimes, since the server could be late in comparison to your device, the messages will appear in a wrong order.
What this fix does:
When a new message arrives, this fix replaces the message time (that comes from the server time) with the device time and this way they will always show in the order they have arrived.
Also, every time that the device time is more than 1 minute different from the SMS original time, it will show the original SMS time between "[ ]" before the SMS text to let you know that it was sent some time ago.
This could be usefull if someone sends you a message and it does not arrive at that moment because your device was off (for example), you will see the time at when the sms arrived and not the one at when it was sent.
It will also show the date if the message was sent more than 24 hours ago.
Since this is a .dll that integrates with the winmo messaging process/service it will not eat your resources constantly.
I've been using this in my HD2 and having no problem so far.
Please report any problems that you find and fell free to suggest improvements.
A reboot after install may be necessary.
Procedure to test if it is working:
1 - Before installing you can increase the time in your device for 5 minutes;
2 - Send and SMS to yourself from the same device. You will see that the sent SMS will appear after the received one;
3 - Delete both SMS.
3 - Install this fix;
4 - With the time still 5 minutes ahead of the real time, send another SMS to yourself from the same device. This time it should appear in the right order and show the server time in the beggining of the SMS like: "[13:50:30] ....".
5 - Don't forget to put the time back to normal..
Version history:
1.1 [07 April 2010]
Launch version.
1.2 [08 April 2010]
Corrected the method used to find if it should show only time or also date in SMS text;
This new .cab ensures that the files are completely removed.
1.3 [26 April 2010]
Added configuration tool "SMSTimestampFixerCfg". Options:
Show/Hide original timestamp, the one between brackets;
Set the time difference that defines when to show the original timestamp;
Set the position where the original timestamp should appear.
The SMSTimestampFixerCfg application icon is not correct, I'll fix that in a next version.
1.3.1 [28 April 2010]
Fixed bug that was making version 1.3 useless (not reading the settings correctly).
1.3.2 [10 April 2011]
Removed extra space from "[ hh:mm:ss]".
SMSTimestampFixerCfg Settings:
"Show original timestamp": Enable or disable showing the original (service provider) timestamp between brackets in SMS text;
"Show if difference is bigger than": The original timestamp will only appear if the difference between your device's time and service provider's time is greater than the value specified here. This setting only takes effect if "Show original timestamp" is selected;
"Position": Defines if the original timestamp should appear before (beggining) or after (end) the SMS text.This setting only takes effect if "Show original timestamp" is selected.
You need to press the "Apply" button to apply settings. There should be a message box informing that the settings where applied. If the settings are not applied, do a soft reset.
ATTENTION: You should always remove the previous version and soft reset before installing a new one. When installing a version greater than 1.3 it should show a message with "SMSTimestampFixer XXX sucessfully registered" where XXX is the version number. If it does not show the correct version you should remove the application, soft reset and reinstall it.

Cool thanks for sharing going to try it out. This messaging problem has been really annoying. Hope this helps.

Thanks alot, testing it now

so has anyone tested this yet?

Added test procedures to the first post.

Perfect *.cab ^^
I've install and have no problem
Thanks you sir

Thanks, applying now and will see if any issues pop up. I've been getting annoyed by this and was looking for a fix.

Thank you thank you!!! this fixes my last little annoyance with the phone. Now its perfect!
this should be stickied or somehting

Thanks for the feedback
I've uploaded a new version (1.2), check the first post.

This is just plain excellent. I'm pretty excited that someone has finally decided to CALL UPON such an issue... then FIX it.
This thread certainly NEEDS more attention... with that said, TELL YOUR FRIENDS FOLKS!

worked for me on tmo us

thanks for the fix!

i think it fix my problem but as i not using htc messages.. cant see now lol
thanks

Thanks, just installed and tested, seems to work great !

I can't provide a point-of-reference in this case, as I haven't bothered to actually install the application JUST YET, but I have a feeling that eventually it will come in handy. Now having said that, IF there is anything else that can be done to further enhance this application, any improvement at all... continue to make it happen, and I'll be sure to bring more awareness to this sweet little fix.

ahhh finally, thanks for this

soo perfect... thank you, thank you!

how do I upload this to my phone?? What folder or program do I put it under?

Great!
OMG i can't express how much you made my day DeadVirus, this issue has been annoying me like mad and all i could find was cabs that fixes the time zone issue which don't help. Although i have yet to try the cab, but i'm looking forward to trying it! Thanks so much! Been ranting to HTC and they are doing nothing, and thank goodness for xda and people like you! Thanks! Looking forward to your future work or improvements to this fix, probably can look into the sms lag and other problems? Still, thanks so much!! Appreciate it man! Cheers!

[APP] Auto Memory Manager 1.7.1.1

Hi guys,
Here's a plug for the app that I'm working on.
**ROOT REQUIRED** Auto Memory Manager is a app that allows users to tweak the out of memory threshold settings. Doing so allows users to define when they want the system to start shutting down apps in conserve memory for other other uses.
Features:
- Sliders for ease of settings.
- 3 presets and ability to create custom settings easily
- Advance mode where you can enter exact values for each threshold
- View apps group by OOM grouping, app lifecycle
- Show services running
- Show details of apps and service running e.g number of clients attached to services, app lifecycle, OOM priority
- Kill services, change OOM priority.
- Comprehensive help
- Remember settings after reboot
- Lots of support on the Madsquirrelapps blog.
- Simple way of providing error reports to developer (hopefully you won't have to use this)
I actively support this so feel free to send me an email if you have a suggestion/complaint and I'll get back to you within the day if not immediately (depends if I'm awake or not).
QR code for AMM is in my signature so please go and give it a try and let me know what you think. thanks.
Version 1.7.1.1
- Couple of bug fixes
- Update Chinese translation provided by http://goapk.com . Almost all text in the app has been translated.
Version 1.7
- Added Services page. This shows all running services in their OOM groupings.
- Reworked Help. This should make the flow of the help pages much better. No need to go back from page 9 to 1 just to get back to the home screen. Just a press of the back button will do now.
- Root checking. Added this to check if the phone has root access. This saves people the confusion.
- Root guide. In the event that a downloader’s phone doesn’t have root access I’ve also provided a link to a page that I’ve made that is a compilation of rooting guides from the xda-developer and Modaco forum. Thanks for those guys for providing a valuable service for the Android community.
- Service is shut down once the settings are applied. Bad implementation on my part to keep the service running when it is no longer needed.
Miscellaneous bug fixes.

Will test and get back to you. Thanks

thanks. feedback is always appreciated.

Just installed, gave root permissons, set to "Mild" and had a FC on an incoming phone call. Set back to default and all is well again. I use TaskManager Full to kill what I don't need running. So I actually don't have a ton of things running in the background and Auto MM shouldn't of killed anything? TaskManager Full reports that I have 278 M available. Your thoughts?

Hmm...coincidence? No idea why the phone would crash AMM. And if it did it doesn't really matter. once you applied the settings then the job is done. You can kill AMM after that.

btw...if it did FC then on the next start you should see an email with the error log. if you could send that to me I would have a better idea of what's happening.

Never got an email. I just used TaskManager to kill AMM and started it back up again. Will watch to see if I get it. Just restarted my phone as well to ensure it was killed.

[APP ADD ON] ProjectM / NEST DROP add on Visualizer Preset MEGA Pack 2.0 by: Monsieurtalbot

UPDATE - THIS PROJECT IS DEAD AND DEPRECIATED. THE PRESETS ARE STILL AVAILABLE - BUT THESE DIRECTIONS VERY LIKELY NO LONGER APPLY TO CURRENT VERSIONS OF PROJECT M. THESE PRESETS ARE ALSO COMPATIBLE WITH NESTDROP - AND AS SUCH I HAVE PROVIDED A ZIP LINK ON COMMENT # 23. GOOD LUCK!
I HAVE JUST FINISHED TESTING THE NEXT VERSION OF PROJECTM WHICH **INCLUDES** THIS PRESET PACK IN THE DOWNLOAD AVAILABILITY. EXPECT AN UPDATE ANY DAY THAT INCLUDES THIS MOD ALREADY! (VERSION 3.32) + TOUCH INTERACTIVE SETTINGS ARE FIXED IN SOON TO BE RELEASED TEST BUILD.[/COLOR
I have compiled a bunch (about 9,000) Milkdrop and ProjectM presets not included in the app itself for use in ProjectM visualizer for Android (which only comes with about 250 available stock)... Here is the quick readme and directions I wrote up... Simple install... Make sure you have "ProjectM" from the Play Store installed before attempting this.
KEEP IN MIND - This may only be good for higher end (1ghz+) devices...
ROOT ACCESS IS NOT REQUIRED!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
UPDATE 4/8/2012- THANKS to XDA member and app dev "Psperl" this package will soon be available to download as a preset pack IN APP for the ProjectM visualizer- after a little bug chase, of course. So those of you that want this without the manual installation; wait a few days. - And anyone who finds the culprit .milk preset that is causing these very rare FC bugs will earn my gratitude. Please share anything you find.
UPDATE 4/6/2012- Make sure to DISABLE all interactive touch related settings in ProjectM settings - they cause Force Closes in my experience it seems after this mod. Maybe another reason we're limited to such a small selection of visuals stock... Change Preset mode is fine - the dev has been made aware of this issue and is looking into it. FIXED (for most presets)
UPDATE 4/5/2016 - Finally the developer released an update to ProjectM on the play store but has STILL not included this mega pack to date. Please continue to enjoy. Hopefully the developer releases this eventually. Continue to expect occasional crashes with this pack installed.
There are also VERY rare Force closes just in general... I believe due to an incompatible .milk file preset that is displayed randomly (we are already making this display content the app wasn't intended for- it is to be expected)... I'm trying to track that down and will release another update when I figure out which of the 9,000 isn't working right- hah. ...Till then, enjoy!

ProjectM for Android Add on Pack 2.0 - Compiled by Monsieurtalbot
Disclaimer: I in NO way take responsibility for any of the work enclosed in this zip archive...
Nor am I responsible for damage to your phone, yourself, your girlfriend, your dog, or anything that may just get in the
way of your phone's flight path across the room...
I have simply gathered these presets from various forums/torrents around the web into one place and tested them
in ProjectM for ANDROID devices. This is tested to work on HIGHER END (1ghz+) devices.
This is a compilation of various Milkdrop presets not included in the projectM app... YET (will be available in app soon hopefully!)...
DIRECTIONS-
Code:
DISABLE all interactive touch related options in ProjectM settings- touch
doesn't work with most of these and DOES cause force closes. Change
Preset mode is fine.
UnZIP the archive.
Copy the CONTENTS of the "ProjectM Add on Presets" folder
(not the folder itself) to:
"/Sdcard/ProjectM"
on your device. (THIS IS ON GALAXY SII) - (The folder may be elsewhere,
but it will be located on in the USER root of your internal SD and will work
on any device.)
Depending on whether you've downloaded presets from the app it may ask if
you want to overwrite files... Go ahead and skip them if you want... It
shouldn't matter either way.
Then start ProjectM, and give it about 10 min (sometimes more) to parse
all the new preset files (there's a lot of 'em), and VOILA -
You have about 9,000 new presets. (From the original 250 available!!) :)
****IT WILL TAKE A WHILE TO PARSE THE FILES THE FIRST TIME ONLY- Afterwards,
it starts immediately. Don't be impatient -THERE IS NO STATUS BAR.
You can hit "Menu>Browse Presets" and you will see no presets listed until
it finishes the initial start. Only then will it start visualizing something
other than "Project M"...
[COLOR="Red"]I CANNOT STRESS THIS ENOUGH - WAIT. THEY WILL SHOW UP EVENTUALLY.[/COLOR]
--IF COMING FROM A PREVIOUS VERSION--
Just go ahead and write over all previous files.
I will update this package as I find more. Enjoy. I know I am. xD
DOWNLOAD MIRROR VERSION 2.0- LINK DEAD SEE FINAL UPDATE BELOW
ALSO- Just so the community knows... ProjectM for Android is compatible with a LOT of the Milkdrop .milk files available in forums and torrent sites around the web. Do some searching, I am sure there are more that work. It would seem certain ones won't work due to shader support, but it is certainly possible to add even more. FYI.
--Changelog--
4/5/2012 - 1.0 - initial test release - 900 added presets
4/5/2012 - 2.0 - MEGA release - 9,000 more added presets
FINAL UPDATE - 6/20/2022 - Project is depreciated. Links are dead. Please see my comment linking my original 52K presets collected

Todo list: Fix occasional Force close bug... Possible touch support? I'm contacting the app dev.
**Touch support is fixed in later versions of ProjectM for Android.

Version 2.0 uploaded and ready to go. Now including over 9,000 additional visual presets for ProjectM!

Oh and just so everyone knows... Lots of people are downloading this, but no one is commenting. lol
Jeez, hit thanks or something. xD

How would you feel if I made this accessible in app like the other two preset packs? Of course, you would get to name the preset pack and write the description.
Also, there is no reason touch effects should stop working after a lot of presets are installed. I haven't tried to load this many presets though. The only reason it comes with 250 is because those are the 250 I had the patience to personally test for performance, quality, and uniqueness.

so far one of them completely quits the app. unfortunately I can't identify which one but kudos for this massive collection. I just wished the majority of them respond to the audio more
sent from my ICS flavored HTC Vigorous Vigor. If I helped please use the "thanks" option!

haha, I'd be honored... You can call it the "VJ Tbot Mega Pack" or something... (seeing as I'm a visual Jockey down here in South FL... seems fitting)
The only problem I saw loading so many presets was the amount of time it took to parse them all the first time loading the app post install. Took nearly 10 minutes... lol
I'm still trying to figure out which preset is crashing the system though. Gonna take a bit of sifting.
Thanks!
Oh, and I was having trouble with touch response with a LOT of the presets... So I just turned it off... Wish I could tell you why...
Thanks a lot for your hard work...

The in-app preset pack downloader shows a progress bar while initializing the presets so that will at least give people some feedback. Truth is, the operation shouldn't be so slow. Carm wrote the preset loader, which doesn't actually open the file as far as I know, so it has no business taking that long. I will try and speed it up before making your preset pack available. It might take a few days though.
If you find the bad preset pass it over and we will fix the bug that causes the crash. I bet there is more than one bad preset. I'll check out the touch response too, although that one confuses me. There is no reason that shouuld be affected by having many presets.

The thing is, since I loaded the presets manually... It didn't show a download bar- or any progress bar at all, unless I completely missed it....
Maybe there is one and I missed it, but I'm pretty sure it doesn't implement unless you download in app... which making this an official package will fix...

Yeah, there is no progress bar when projectM reads in new presets at application startup. I took a look at the slowness today. We are doing individual inserts per preset, we need to [email protected] a bulk insert and it should be a lot faster.

Ok, keep in mind also, that I copied all the .Milk files out of my Android to make this package- including the ones available in app... So we're gonna have to remove them to make this a true separate package... Just throwing that out there too.
I leave this in your capable hands, Psperl...

thanks
Yess i love this app!

Talbot, PM me your email address so I can send you a test build with 100x faster preset loading and your preset pack available as a downloadable pack. Loading is much faster but unzipping the zip file still takes a long time on device. I tried unzipping it with ES Zip Viewer and it still took a while so its not like projectM's unzipper is terrible. I also removed the xisting presets from the zip.

UPDATE- see OP.

With touch fixed in the new version, it actually works pretty well IMO...

I apologize for the lack of movement the last few days. I have been busy with non technical stuff. I hope to get a chance to do some work on projectM sunday night or monday.

Hi there! I'm from the future, i'm very grateful for the presets pack. I love it! Now i have to go back to my time, Farewell!

FC Culprit
I think I found one of the FC culprits, the preset name is EvilJim - Irregular Zoom. Maybe there's more but for now everything is working right. Farewell

[FAQ][CM10][Kang] for Bruce2728

FAQ for [ROM][CM10][Kang][Pyramid][RC][4.1.2]
This is a FAQ for users who would like to start (or just have) with Bruce's amazing ROM and run into issues.
The development thread is frequently seeing already-answered questions, frustrating many others
and drastically blowing up the thread.
Thank you Bruce for your great work and allowing us to experience a revitalized Sensation!
Obviously also big THANKS to the whole CM team, whoever you are!
In order to help out those users and lessen Bruce's workload to follow the thread, this should be a community effort,
so please feel free to post any items that need to be added or mistakes were made (I wrote this up from memory).
I'm bad with names, so I apologise beforehand to not plug every username here, thanks to whoever contributed!
If you are new to the rom: please take at least a few minutes to use the SEARCH feature FIRST with corresponding keywords
before posting a question, chances are pretty good that it's been answered already (many times).
Mods: if I missed to follow any guideline here, please let me know and I'll fix asap.
Q: I'm on a different ROM, what should I do?
A: Read the full first post as it already includes hints for installation.
You should then also check to have a current firmware (3.32 at least).
The first post has 2 different download links, one or both of them will have
the current version. If you do not see it in the first link (the >>>I AGREE <<< link),
just think for a second and click the mirror link!
There's also a link to a current gapps package (install from recovery as well).
If you think you need different versions, please search the dev forum first before asking,
there are plenty of tweaked/inverted versions out there.
Q: I'm on a previous build of Bruce's, what should I do?
A: just install the current build over it, you do not need to manually wipe dalvik/cache as the install does it already.
Q: Do I need a different kernel or can I switch to a different kernel?
A: Bruce included his own tweaked kernel. Other kernels (like tamcore) may also work,
but also may break things that Bruce had explicitly built in.
I haven't yet seen clear evidence that switching to another kernel offers anything, so
my personal opinion is: don't mess with it, just because you read about some fancy
tweak in another rom's thread.
Q: My data icon keeps flickering/bad connections?
A: this is a often discussed issue with unclear cause (as of now) and happened not only
to TMO users in the US, but also in other countries.
Yesterday it was reported, that getting a new SIM card fixed this issue (at least for
several months for another user).
Please search the thread also for more details/investigations by SkipJacks.
Q: There are graphical issues with Chrome?
A: This has been a known issue for weeks and still needs fixing (either Chrome gets fixed or new display drivers are released).
Q: Where can I find the option to dis-/enable the screen off CRT animation?
A: Settings -> Developer options: set "Window animation scale" to "0.5" or "off"
Q: Is it possible to have Sense widgets?
A: No, not the same Sense ones (this is a different software base). Check Play Store for widgets.
Q: How do I enable/disable Sweep2Wake?
This is disabled by default. To change this, it requires a mounted /system partition.
Use a root-enabled file explorer like the free "ES File Explorer", which has extra root
options to auto-mount it in read/write-mode (thus enable that option).
Then go edit this file as text:
Code:
/system/etc/init.d/89bruce
In it are separate sections for sweep2wake, tun and badass governor, like
Code:
SWEEP2WAKE=0
Change the value 0 to one of the values described right there in the file, read carefully!
Some changed settings can be activated by executing it in a terminal.
If unsure how to do that, do a manual reboot.
Q: The default badass governor behaves differently (or you experience lag)?
Proceed as with above answer, but this time change this line:
Code:
BADASS=2
The default is fairly well for battery, but set value to 1 to activate higher max. frequency.
Q: The camera does not have previous picture sizes, like 16:9?
Oct 25 build has the camera options now also list "8 16:9", "8 5:3" etc.
Q: My facebook app displays wrong/huge fonts?
A: Reported and confirmed by many to be a FB app issue after last weeks FB updates.
Q: My facebook app does not sync?
Syncing was removed by FB some while ago, but can be done by other apps (HaxSync?)
Q: Wifi hotspot does not work?
A: this is currently reported to be broken (Oct 25), but Bruce will certainly take care of it
when he has the time. Please do not report this repeatedly or ask him daily, also
follow the release notes.
Q: Call volume or headphone volume is out of whack?
A1: at least once after rom install, use volume rockers to set max volume and then
back down to normal level.
A2: Settings -> Sound -> uncheck "Safe headset volume"
Q: Can I install BeatsAudio?
A: with some extra package installed, probably (needs an extra sense framework),
search the dev forum for it.
but it might interfere with the built-in "DSP Manager" and cause other issues.
Please reply for answers to add... and hit Thanks if this helped you.
See next posts for more...!
Cheers
Tobias

PART 2:
Q: Better Battery Stats (or other battery app) is showing hours of Alarm Manager Wakelocks attributed to Google Services, what do I do?
A1: please read SkipJacks' post (page 1460!) about an investigation we did the last couple of days about it, excerpt:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We used System Tuner Pro to disable some of the start up items in the Google Services Framework.
Additionally we froze GTalk and Gnow (Google Search). And no, you can't just freeze those two apps.
The GSF will still create wakelocks when trying to activate them. So you have to modify the GSF as well.
These are the things that I disabled in the GSF using System Tuner Pro (other apps may work as,
such as ROM Toolbox Pro etc., all available in the market).
gtalkservice.diagnostits.gtalkdiagnostics
update.systemupdateactivity
gtalkservice.connection autherrordialog
talk.talkprovider
settings.googlesettingsprovider
gservices.gservicesprovider$override reciever
checkin.checinservices$reciever
checkin.checkinservices$triggerreciever
checkein.eventlogservices$receiver
gtalkservice.diagnostics.gtalkdiagnosticsbroadcast reciever
gtalkservice.serviceautostarter
gtalkservices.datamessagereciever
gtalkservice.sendxmppreciever
gtalkservices.packageinstalledreciever
gtalkservice.xmppendpointreciever
loginservice.serviceswatcher (You might try reactivating this one to see what happens)
usagestates.statsuploadservice$reciever
checkin.evenlogservice
gtalkservice.service.stalkservice
gtalkservice.pushmessagingregistar
You can freeze the GSF entirely with 1 easy step and that will also kill the wakelocks. But the Play Store becomes another casualty if you do that. Disabling the events above will stop the Google Services wakelocks dead in their tracks, and allow the Play Store to continue working. (Though I haven't tried purchasing a paid app yet)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is based on current 4.1.2 gapps, but may well be valid for previous builds.
A2: In general, unless utterly needed, disable any "sync" settings in individual apps, such as Calendar, Settings -> Google account etc. and don't forget to switch off BT and/or GPS when you don't need it.
Q: My mobile data icon blinks on and off, what do I do?!
T Mobile USA users may experience issues with mobile data going on and off in about 1 second intervals. The "H" will just blink continuously. The problem is how the AOSP framework interacts with the T Mobile USA data network. It is intermitent, and usually cures itself within an hour or two. This will occur in ALL AOSP ICS and JB roms for the Sensation. (CM9, CM10 Variants, AOKP, etc)
While a cure is constantly being researched, nothing final is upon us as of yet. The best thing you can do is turn data off and leave it off for an hour or two and see if it works later. If you must try to fix it right now there are a few things that may help, but understand they are temporary fixes.
Sending yourself a text message.
Calling to your phone.
Making a call from your phone.
Going into airplane mode for a minute then back to normal.
Sometimes these tricks work because they either force the network to either re-register or authenticate your phone. Sometimes they don't work.
If you absolutely positive must have data working right now, flash a Sense or Desensed ROM. This problem does not exist in Sense ROMs.
See this thread for more details about what does and doesn't help.
Q: I have no or issues with WiFi?
A: Read here.
-- BIG thanks to Skipjacks for the above (and me a little )
Q: The dialer/phone or gallery app does not show?
A: Having installed other tweaks or (inverted) gapps may have caused this. Try reverting any changes made.
If this persists, a fresh, clean install should be fixing it in any case.
Q: GPS is not working correctly?
A1: suggested apps to try out: "Faster Fix", "GPS Status" or simialr in market
A2: Settings -> Location access -> GPS source.. there check "Use internal GPS"
A3: "go outside!" (thanks Catnap, that made me laugh!)
-- Thanks to Catnap and darkbasic4
Q: I have a problem with feature X! Is this ROM broken?
A: Can you reproduce the problem after a full wipe, install the ROM (& gapps)? If not, it's not the ROM.
-- Thanks to Konstigt
Q: What to do about slow SD card transfer speeds?
A1: A solution I would recommend: MultiMount SD Card app
A2: Mount USB from within 4ext and transfer's should be at full speed
-- Thanks to MAMeingast and corumuk
Q.: Where did my video/picture/ringtone/music files go? They are on the SDcard but I can't see them in Apollo, the Gallery, etc.
A: Apps will not scan folders for media if they have a hidden file called .nomedia (with the dot in front!) in them.
Certain root apps have been known to put such a file in the main folder of the SD card itself, causing all photos, etc., to vanish. To fix, use a file manager like ES and enable View Hidden Files in the settings. Check the main folder of your SDcard (and others, if you like) and delete .nomedia wherever you want to be able to see media - especially the root directory of the SDcard. Then - and this is important - turn the phone OFF and reboot it (Restart may not be enough). This forces Android to rescan the card and your media will reappear.

Q: I have terrible battery life. After some browsing, phone calls etc. my battery is down from 100% to 50% in just one hour.
A: Do this battery test, charge to 100%. Set display brightness to 100%. Set timeout to 30 minutes. Disable WiFi, Bluetooth, Sync, GPS. Unplug the charger and just leave the phone at the home screen. Touch it after 30 minutes and let it sit for another 30 minutes. If you battery is below <insert a normal batterys percentage here> you might consider a new battery. So it's not the ROM!
(I don't know what actual value is supposed to be there, yikes...)
-- Thanks to Konstigt
Q: What kernel should I install?
A: The rom comes with it's own tweaked kernel (3.0.48 as of Oct 25).
You should not install other kernels, that are not explicitly made for Jelly Bean! The rom's libraries (a higher layer than the kernel) depend mostly on having functions and versions to be on the same "level" and could cause FCs/reboots if something is out of sync.
The Linux kernel contains drivers for: Display, Keypad, Camera, Wifi, Flash Memory, Audio, Power Mgmt etc. and as such it is specific to your phone model (different hardware likes chipsets, display etc.).
The kernel is under constant development, so mostly it's about fixing things, but in rare events there may be an issue introduced with it.
If that happens to you, you could either wait for one of the next frequently updated builds or revert to a previous build if need be.

- start Google Search|go to Settings|disable Google now
- use a tool like autostarts*|disable everything with gtalk, youtube, picasa uploader and (g)maps in it's name
(other tools also capable of that: Android/System Tuner, ROM Toolbox etc.)
- go to the sync profiles|disable all you do not really need (e.g. mail: sync manually)
- dont use any live wallpapers
- dont use widgets that automatically update its contents
- go to Settings|Performance|Processor|choose BADASS and then ... change init.d/89bruce file for badass to '3'
- additionally disable News & Weather with the autostarts* tool if not needed
- go to Settings|Backup & reset|Disable backup data
- disable all location based stuff or turn off as soon as no longer needed
- go to Settings|Display and disable automatic light adjustments

Just to be sure: if you have a rom build before Sept 5 you should also upgrade to the current build.

We should ask the moderators to delete the posts between the first post and the second part of your FAQ... I already requested the removal of my post! If we leave it like this, people will often not realize that there is a second part...

I think you need to edit that part.

Just report your own post (click the orange triangle with the exlamation mark) with a non-urgent request to remove the post! The mods will then delete it (mine is already gone)!

I've installed the 10/25 version, but still the camera is only showing up to 5mp.
Is anyone else having the same problem or know a fix?

Yes, I did notify Bruce and he kindly agreed to do that when he's got time.
As to the g-locks, please scroll down page 1 to see "Part 2", where there is a link to the original post.

Please install the current version and recheck.
Btw, my native tongue is German, please be so kind to post in plain English, thank you.

It's definitely there. The camera settings' 2nd options screen does show you the "Picture size" option, right?
Clicking the "right" arrow will list "8 16:9", "8 5:3" and "8" then.
P.S.: I ran out of thanks for today, so thanks to MAMeingast as well!

@tobitege.. i had to install the gallery 2 apk for it.. but after that when i reflashed the rom it didnt go away.. i dunno what happened b4.. will have to c in later builds if it persists..
And yes i m totally unable to get the 16:9 ratio 8mp camera shot.. as posted by someone to flash a file for it.. it didnt work at all for me.. i think it was toryheal or something.. but can u make out y it doesnt work for me??
Also about the battery.. i just examined it.. i got from 100 to 30 in 1 hours 15 mins with screen on all the time wifi on all the time.. played medium games like jetpack joyride browsed the web.. then i continued to use it on n till i reached 2 %.. suprisingly i got 2 hours 20 mins of "screen on" with 4 hours on battery..on 25th oct build without solving the g-lock issue.. do u think my battery is gone or is it a good battery outcome??

@H3llblax: I'm sorry, but I can't help you with that issue. In your position I'd go with a full fresh install.

Ok thanks ..
And it worked with a fresh install.. sry for the mistypes in the earlier post

It's definitely there. The camera settings' 2nd options screen does show you the "Picture size" option, right?
Clicking the "right" arrow will list "8 16:9", "8 5:3" and "8" then.
I have a left arrow and it shows 5m Pixels but no more right arrows. Should I reflash?!?

Yes, first try flashing again without any wiping. If that still won't work, a full wipe/fresh install might be needed.

ColdfusTion's Voxis Launcher Coming Soon

Hey guys,
Just thought I'd give you a headsup for anyone who doesn't know, the Voxis launcher from ColdfusTion is hopefully going to be hitting the Play Store next month. For anyone who doesn't know ColdfusTion's stuff, he's a popular tech YouTuber who makes custom Android themes among other things and has a great eye for design. Check out his channel if you haven't before.
I unfortunately don't have link posting rights yet, but if you check out his channel you can see various videos of him demonstrating the app in its current beta form. (Could someone please share?)
This is relevant/exciting for me because I'm the developer (Adam Sinicki) behind the scenes who helped with the coding! I can tell you for a fact that the app is looking really nice. Would love to hear thoughts/feedback, will keep you updated on the progress and launch! Thanks!

..

Java Error
I love the launcher. Worked brilliantly on my note 3. Now on a SM-N910T and experiencing Java error example:
1st screenshot: occurs when attempting to select the phone icon on the screen 1.
2nd screenshot: randomly occurs in any screen.
3rd screenshot: occurs when installing and freezes at 89% never completing load.
Troubleshooting: uninstalled and reinstalled.
Any advice? Non rooted stock 4.4.4
