No, lockscreen gestures work just fine for me. And why would you put this in the dev section? This is a question, it belongs in q and a. That's why they imposed that rule for the dev sections, because newcomers didn't know and the dev sections were cluttered with junk and posts that shouldn't be there. All questions go in the q and a, you were right to post here.
Try running fix permissions or reflashing the rom

Ok after browsing all these ROMS and basically starting to get a headache lol, can anyone recommend a rom thats stock froyo (or close to as I use the football app and the nascar app etc) that also allows me to tether wifi. Ive probably looked at over 7 roms maybe more and they all seem custom in some way shape or form which im not interested in. I did look at the stock rooted 2.2 but I dont think it suits my needs, unless theres something im missing about tethering

Once you are rooted, the wireless tether application for root users will work on every rom. You can use any stock rom of your liking and then add the wireless tether app from the market and you will be all set.
Wow! Seriously?! Why in dev section?! I'm sorry to be rude but I'm getting tired of ppl always posting non-developing stuff on the DEVELOPMENT section. I almost never comment but I'm tired of this.
Please, next time post it on the Q&A section.
Thanks.
Edit: I'll be glad to help if mods move it to Q&A.
Stock froyo like sense 2.2 rooted? There's that option, if you mean like stock android froyo ala 2.2 there is CM6

OP,
I understand your headaches since I am basically wanting the same thing. But after a little looking around, think that the ROM http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=743352 is what you are looking for. They use to have a thread on just ROMs, how they have been modified, etc.
Also krazyconejo, maybe this is a way for a developer to help out a user? I know that the developers love to have their ROMs used, or at least some input instead of jumping on a guy, maybe you should strongly suggest for future education. Sometimes it is better to coach a fellow member than hit him over the nose with a rolled up news paper (figuritively speaking) - without being disrespectful to you.
Krazy..ive spent the past few hours searching and reading this section of the forums, so excuse me for posting here and upsetting you lol. Since this is a question about ROMS specifically and this section has them all listed, I felt it would be better answered here, then in a general Q&A section. I tend to value the replies I get in a specific forum topic more then a general one
like I said before I usually don't say anything and just ignore it. But if I come to the developing section, I expect to see that and not waste my time with this.
As for OP sorry for being mean but if you would had posted this in the right place, I'm petty sure someone would had helped.
*Not gonna respond anymore. OP if you still help pm me and let's just let this thread die.
Thanks.
if you want the football and nascar app...just flash any rom and install those apks.

Sorry, I didn't get past this part. I'm still too busy reeling from the discovery that someone actually uses those two apps to recommend that you use DamageControl 3.5 or something based from it.

This may be true however it is still the wrong place to post this. questions go in questions forum or in the thread of a specific rom/kernal if they pertain to it. since this is a general questions about roms and doesnt fit into a specific rom thread it belongs in the Q&A forum. Most of the people who will give you a true answer from dev also frequently go to the QA section. also yuo will get flamed less and not have to wade through as many posts telling you that you posted wrong.
To answer your question. You can use wifi tether with stock rooted froyo or almost any custom rom. you can still use football/nascar you can try Damage control 3.5 which will let you easily select what you want to have or not of the sprint apps and have the rest removed. you can also use roms like fresh Evio and baked snacks and install the .spk for those 2 apps.
Thread moved to Q&A.
Baked snack then install nascar and football apk. If you need them im sure they are floating around here somewhere if not pm me.
You could also try fresh. He puts all the apks he removes in a folder on your sdcard.

lol thanks for all the info...Kinda new to the whole rooting thing and with all the roms flying around and the 100+ pages for each its alot to read over but I tried as much as I could
And yes I am a nascar fan and a football fan..And since Verizon has the good app lol..I use what I got!!!
You could also probably find those .apks by browsing for a folder of the Fresh Removed .apks folder that comes with the Fresh ROM, or just find some Fresh user to upload them for you.

[Q] [MOD] Running Sense Rom w/ 3 Home Screens

I happen to be one of those rooters who still enjoys the Sense UI over an AOSP base.
However, I was wondering if there was a way to lower the amount of home screens I have. My daily is Myn's RLS4 and with Sense I find myself only really using 3-5 home screens and basically fill the other 2 with widgets just so they are not blank. I wouldn't mind them if I have to, but it's possible my phone would run a little quicker and save some battery if I were able to limit the amount of home screens and focus on using the apps for the info when I need it rather than have the widgets constantly running.
I'm not sure if there is a way to integrate a Miui or ADW/Launcher Pro method of controlling how many screens we have, but I think it's not far out of the ballpark.
I searched through the forums for about an hour looking for any info, but didn't find anything. Please post a link if this has been discussed already.
haha bump. i would like to know that aswell. there are times that i miss the clouds fly by lol.

Seriously though, when I first got the Evo, I was like yeah seven screens your other phones suck. Now I just want 3, maybe 5.

For the clouds just install "widgetlocker" it has the option
Hey bud not sure if you noticed, but this is not the Q&A section. Questions are to be asked in Q&A.
....really you cant change that in the sense options somewhere? Just another reason Sense is lame, imo.
LauncherProPlus, FTW!!! I got one homescreen, and 15 icons in my dock, not to mention swype gestures, and running CM6 so i have lockscreen gestures as well...
My Evo > Sense UI

Hey buddy, this is a development question. It was more of a suggestion of an idea that I had not seen before more than a question about something that exists.
The community is about making better devices, apps, etc. for all and there's no need to waste your time posting a reply about being in the wrong section. If it is violating anything, the mods can move it.
Moved to Q&A as this is a [Q]. The Android Development threads are for software coding/releases.
Bump. Nothing on this yet?
Any info would be nice.
Thanks
bump
Would love some guidance on this, hoping the # of homescreens config is held in a file somewhere and someone with a rooted phone can edit it?

[Q] Landscape in call screen?

Done the search thing but not finding a solution out there.
Basically I want to make and receive calls when the phone is in a dock in landscape mode without the incoming/outgoing call screen jumping back to portrait.
I can get the contacts and number pad dialer screens to stay in landscape but the in call screen refuses to rotate
Anyone got this running on their desire, and if so how?

Yeah have tried a few sense roms as well as MIUI and CM 7.0.something.
All the same, no option to do it.
Thanks for the reply.

Two things preventing me from...

going back to ICS.
1st is the heating issue. I remember this being a huge issue with my HTC Touch Pro 2 back in the day.
2nd is roaming guard.
With Gingerbread, I can turn off the roam guard for calls and data. When I tried one of the first ICS builds at the beginning of this month (March), I couldn't find that anywhere. I live in an area where I am constantly roaming and it gets annoying to do the step of acknowledging that I am roaming before answering or placing a call.
Anyone know of any fixes?
Don't have either of these. On on Mijjah rom 3.1 and roam guard is in the settings and my phone never gets hot. Maybe u should try it again.

I see that you a somewhat a new member...so ill try to be nice Might I suggest posting in a thread already relating to the ics ROM(s) you are having problems with.... They may have fixes already or it may be a known issue....
Rather than post a thread... Try searching for your problem.... (if you did im sorry but im sure most would agree this thread is "clutter"...... Props for not posting this in the development section)
As for you problems I experience not one with fc18
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
Anytime I've ever been flagged to allow roaming it has offered me the choice of never seeing the message again. Does your phone give you that message?

Got to agree do do t see the reason for your thread especially if the last time you tried ICS was a month ago. Your problems I have never seen. I tried CM9 and Gummy/Codename. Try it again...... simple solution
Sent from my Xoom using Tapatalk
also fc22 does not have any heating issues at fc15/fc18 in my usage.
Also, these threads are pointless, its well known that ICS are still in test build stages. If you dont wanna deal with the bugs, then DONT!!!!
sorry about the thread guys and thank you for the replies.
my answer wasnt really answered on the roaming issue but I think I will go ahead and flash a ROM again. Maybe 4.04 will address that issue.

Im pretty sure the later builds have solved that problem (roam guard off setting either missing or not 'sticking') the only time I have had the roam guard keep annoying me (after selecting dont bother me again) turned out there was other issues as well, and probly a bad flash/download. Try the newer versions. Oh and if you did indeed search, posting in the form of a question in the Q&A section usually gets less flaming... good luck.

Thge options for roaming didnt come in until fc07 i believe. Before that there wasnt even a menu option for roaming at all.
In all the current builds fc14 and higher i can confirm having the option to turn roaming on or off and to have romaing guard on voice or data
This was my first thought

Camera Tweak CM10

Hey guys,
I am running cm10 nightlies on my s3. I wanted to know if there is a way (or if there is an existing mod) that will allow me to change the location that the camera saves pictures to my microsd card. I know this option used to exist inside the camera in much earlier builds (on build 8/31). Please assist.
Thanks!

My apologies, thought this might be a development thing as I figured it required coding changes, anybody have any insight into this?
