My room mate and i both have evos, he has an epson panel and i have a nova, it never bothered me until today when i noticed exactly how distorted the colors were on the nova, i can easily see the pinkish/purple hue in it, both phones are rooted and 003 revisions, any way to somehow distort the color so it is accurate on the nova panel? or am i just better off with the nova? ive read many opinions on the nova vs the epson i really need a non biased opinion and a solution for the nova if there is one haha
I don't think there is any way to fix it. There is such a variation with these screens, even from one nova to the next. My first Evo was a nova, my second an epson, and my third and current one has a nova and is easily the best screen I've seen on an Evo. I compared it to my buddy's with a nova, and I saw in his screen the purplish hue that everyone talks about but mine is as black as night.
edit: I stand corrected.

That's exactly what I was gonna post. Install it-- it works great. No more purplish greys, and whites remain a bright white.
Or, if you have CM6 it comes pre-installed with the 3 calibrated settings pre-built-- just choose which one you like the best.
im using baked snack, as well when i try to change the settings it force closes, the .zip flashed just fine, any ideas?

don't install the "Sense" version. I am running Baked Snack 1.7, flashed the "Sense" version, then installed the controller app and got Force closing as soon as I tried sliding any of the sliders.
just flash the Universal .zip, don't need to reinstall the controller apk.
should be set to the "optimal" settings right as you restart!. which looks great to me, a little too warm for my taste, so I tweaked it.
fantastic find and thanx for the post!

Okay, this may or may not be in the correct forum, but it's a question. I think the icons are horribly ugly, especially the camera. I know it's not quite rooted yet and it's not super high up on everyone's list, but would anyone be able to help me out with getting better looking stock Android 2.1 icons on there or maybe make an icon pack that replaces the ones on there with 2.1 stock icons? Thanks in advance.

BetterCut?
I tried Better Cut with mine and the stock 2.0 icon pack. The icons are low res and look kind of bad on the large Evo screen.
With the size of the Evo screen you will really want to get More Icons. Trust me on this, it is perfect for this phone.
I've never heard of BetterCut, but it seems like it won't work. My girlfriend has a Nexus and those icons are very classy and would work very well with the Evo, I think. And I just want to replace them completely, not have extra.
Soooo ... for the past couple days I've decided to give up my Sense ROM on my G2 and switch to CM6.1 Final, with the Gingerbread Theme. But for some reason I can't find a way to install the docks & icons. I've seen on many thread folks asking questions about installing custom docks and icons and I figured I would just start this. If anyone know's how to do it, feel free to post the instructions here.
Thanks!
Checked around to see if there were any rules for starting this thread and I didn't find any reason not too.

The launcher that comes with CM6.1 is ADW Launcher. Personally, I prefer Launcherpro. Both launchers have the ability to change the dock background. Try out launcher pro from the market and see which you prefer. Then you can go into the "Appearance" settings and change the dock to a pre-loaded dock or to a custom dock by selecting "custom" (it will then take you to your SD card to choose your custom image.
As for the icons, I use Bettercut found in the market. But if your not willing to spend, then Desktop Visualizer is another great option. They both allow you to change the shortcut icons.
Hope this helps!
I agree with Nissan. Been using Launcher Pro for about a week now and love it. I tried using a similar app when I was using my Cliq, but it made it super lag. With all the pwer behind the G2, u shouldn't notice anything too drastic as far as performance goes. And if you're overclocked, well then all the better

Damn ADW
I've flirted with ADW the entire day and there is no way to change the dock to anything custom. I'm going to download LP and just use that for my docks/icons and etc. Screw ADW.

Lmao! That's the same way I felt about ADW. ADW uses theme files that you can get in the market. When applied, it changes your wallpaper, icons, and dock background. I'm pretty confident that you will like LP if you don't like ADW.
not only does ADW lack an easy way to theme it but it also lacks 3d app drawer and the flick up app dock is super laggy on Vision, at least it was the last time I used it.... LPFTW!

Suddenly I was getting errors in my email and handscent google force close. I re-installed Syndicate Frozen Full. Each time after a day I started getting TWLauncher Error force close. Tried 3 times. I am running Syndicate Rom without touchwiz seems to be ok. Anyone else see this. My wife is occasionally getting force closes on stock EC08 just rooted. Is there a bug in touchwiz with EC08?

You mean EC05 and no. Running it fine with Bonsai 4.0.1. Are you pulling the battery without shutting down properly (waiting for the vibration)? With journaling off any improper shutdown will cause force closes due to data corruption. Clear the data in twlauncher and reset up your homescreens or restore data from titanium if you have it to get your homescreens back. Then do a Nand backup and restore through Clockwork to turn journaling on. That should prevent the corruption of data you are seeing. Also turn off any overclocking or undervolting. This will also cause data corruption.
Have you tried fixing the permissions in CWM?
When I flashed this ROM everything started force closing randomly and I read in the SyndicateROM thread to fix permissions and it's been great since.
I will have to read fix the permissions but since witching to launcher pro version of Syndicate everything has been great. odd.
Can you link me to the fix permissions thread I can't seem to find it? Thanks

True, but other than twcrushdlauncher which is basically the same, what other launcher has the nice icons in the dock area and where you can put 4 or 5 of them?

Um... all of them? LauncherPro, for one, has a scrollable dock. Icons are theoretically infinite. If you want a custom background, there's thousands.
I am liking launcher pro so I bought it wish it would scroll horizontal in the apps list

Shouldn't you be finishing kicking my a$$ in Wordfeud? LOL
I want a launcher that looks like Touchwiz with 5 icons in the dock, in color. We all agree Touchwiz sucks and TWcrushdlauncher sucks only a little less. So I need a good alternative but want color on my Super Amoled 4" screen.

Personally, I've always loved the bounce effect. It feels more natural to me. I don't suppose any devs are interested in modding it back into the 2.3.5+ framework?
Looks like some people are using parts of the 2.3.4 framework to get it back on the original GS2, but of course you lose any changes made to the framework in subsequent updates.
Also, is the horrible overscroll in the browser driving anyone else nuts? It's like Samsung's version instead of the Android version and it's awful. It even gets stuck and 'drifts' if you scroll diagonally and hit an edge. Gonna have to use a different browser for now.
I'm using it on cm7 you should flash it only thing not working is 4g and bluetooth.

Ha e you tried UOT kitchen and their tweaks for overscroll
Sent from my SPH-D710 using Tapatalk
Woot, Will of fire that should be perfect. I didn't realize how close CM7 was to working. I can hold out until GPS and Bluetooth are working as I use both quite a bit. I've been planning on running CM when comes out anyway.
playya, I checked UOT Kitchen before but I only saw options under Popup to change the color or disable the glow. Does disabling glow enable bounce or am I overlooking the bounce options?
i would love to get the bounce back too, the overscroll color made me think there was something wrong with my phone, lol
I was excited to see ViperOne on the M9, since I've used it on my M7 for basically the last two years.
After having trouble with Revolution, I installed ViperOne and my problems went away. But one thing that is bothering me about it is the weirdly limited grid size. Even on my M7 with ViperOne I could set the grid to 5x6, but on my M9 I'm limited to 5x4 at max, but the default was 5x6 before root.
It might sound like a silly thing to be weird about, but the 5x4 grid size takes away the sleek look of the OS in my opinion, and also disrubts my need for a certain order.
Is there an option I'm missing to change the grid size that isn't in the app list? Or is there an app I can download that will allow me to adjust grid sizes?

Download textdroider. Change the dpi to 400. Sorted.
The app has no footprint on the phone, if you want to you can uninstall the app after modification
That changed the grid size of the home screen but not the app selection.

Really? It actually changes everything as you're altering the dpi output of the phone . So it should affect everything. Try a different dpi. Find the sweet spot. For me 400 is perfect and as far as I can remember it does change the app drawer, have you tried leedroid. That's my go to sense rom.

Yeah it just made everything super tiny but the apps remained the same grid, just more spread out. :/ I went all the way down to 380. Everything is too tiny now.
I don't want to reflaah right now either because I don't want to have to set everything up again, so I'm probably stuck with the app grid unless they do an update for it.
Or I decide I'm ready to redo everything again.
Maybe I'm wrong and it wasn't an option on stock M9? I thought it was. But I do know ViperOne had 5x6 on M7. So it is weird that it would be different on M9.
