I don't quite know what the thing is called. That's basically my question:
Can the pull-down connectivity bar at the top that allows you to quickly turn on or off wifi, Bluetooth and GPS as well as switch between vibration and ring tone be installed on a Sense ROM?
I've encountered it on CyanogenMod 6.1.1 and rather liked it. Unfortunately, I prefer some of the HTC Sense functionality, so I switched back to the stock ROM (after learning how to uninstall uninstallable apps, that is ). But the stock does not have this bar. Where it would normaly be, there is only my network provider's name and a delete button for the messages.
How do I get this functionality back?
Regards and thank you,
it's built into the framework of a rom. If you want the feature then I suggest you install a rom with it or just use the power widget thing
Seriously? The only option is a widget? That's sad.
Afraid so, the widget notification bar thing is one of the tweaks and features Cyanogen put in CM. It is quite handy.
Back when I had my Evo there were devs making flashable zips for notification pull down controls for this so I'd assume they're around for the G2 as well. On the Evo it required a Deodexed ROM though so you might as well just flash one that already has em in it at that rate.
Hmmm... I'm just warming up to the Virtuous ROM so I don't think using Cyanogen again will be an option.
Ah, what the heck, whether I pull down the menu or scroll to the right once doesn't matter much, does it .
Thanks for the replies .
I was wandering if the HTC_IME requires the HTC Sense framework to work correctly, essentially; what I am wandering is: If I pull the HTC_IME from a sense rom, and put it into my SYSTEM/[Whatever folder it needs to be in] and reboot my phone, will the keyboard work?
I know that there is a HTC Keyboard on offer on the Nexus one forum, but I want the Desire HD keyboard which has the arrow keys (this is because I find with such a large screen, pressing the keys at the bottom can result in discomfort, or sometimes the pressing of one of the soft keys..)
In essence, if anyone has any experience on the subject, please tell me what the outcome was.
Thanks for your time.
P.S. I am on a MIUI ROM, although that should not make a difference because I am only wandering about using it with any rom after being pushed to the system/app directory (or where ever it needs to go).
I am reluctant to use a Sense rom and flash a no-sense script because I do not generally like the HTC ROM's (style of the notification bar etc.)
You can use it on any rom
Sent from my Motorola Startac running Android 3.0 Honeycomb.
I'm currently using Cyanogen Mod because of the customizable notifcation power widgets. It lets you choose the order they appear in, how many you want, and it's scrollable. I also like that it's bluetooth isnt totally broken, and doesnt give me any problems with my headphones. It also allows access to android's built in wifi tether, which I require because I have a xoom. The notification widgets have a button to turn on the tether quickly.
However, I love and would really like to have the newer HTC music, camera, and clock apps. I know I cant install these on a non sense rom.
So, the question is, is there a sense 2.1+ rom, with gingerbread, that has a non broken bluetooth, and a similar set up for the notification widgets with the tether option.
All I've tried is Mikz, and that's how I found out about the new HTC apps. Thanks in advance.
Try Virus's ace port. It's quite stable. I don't know about bluetooth tho as I never tried it.
Bulletproof MIUI Addon Pack
Due to a lack of time, I've discontinued weekly updates to Bulletproof MIUI. I didn't want to leave anyone behind, so I believe I've come up with the next-best-solution.
The Bulletproof addon pack is designed to be flashed directly over the weekly translated MIUI builds (e.g. MIUI.us/MIUIandroid.com, etc). The pack will enable all of the features listed below, and should make your phone run significantly better.
The addon pack allows you to update as soon as the translations are available, so you're not stuck waiting on me to update every week! This pack should (in theory) work on pretty much any G2/DZ ROM, but your milage may vary. Please always make a backup before flashing, just in case.
Features
- /system converted to ext4 file system.
- Virtuous OC Daemon (Installing SetCPU or CPU Tuner will automatically disable the daemon.)
- Tsubus' ILWT kernel
- EFS wiped on flash to prevent GPS issues.
- Wifi Calling conditionally installed for T-Mobile US users, uninstalled otherwise.
- Modified SD card read cache (set to 4096)
- Applications Zipaligned on boot (skipped if already ZA'd)
- App Widget Picker added for users who prefer to use alternative launchers.
- CyanogenMod/Galaxy Nexus ringtones/notification/alarm tones
- OC/UV Beater bundled to control/configure OC
- Themed keyboard that's much more MIUI-like
Installation Instructions:
- Install the MIUI ROM of your choice (MIUI.us/MIUIAndroid.com recommended)
- Flash the Addon pack
- Configure OC settings via the OC/UV Beater application
Whenever you update your MIUI each week (either via OTA or by manually downloading/flashing), simply flash the pack afterwards and you're all set!

MIUI has a built-in FTP file server. To use it, open the File Manager application, and tap on the "FTP" tab.

What makes this rom > osimood's?

I installed it and it performs well so far. I flashed the tiamat 1.1 kernel to because i like the smartass governor a lot, but now it seems as if the virtuous overclock controller just doesn't work with it (fc's all the time).. Does this mean that the daemon doesn't work either?
Whats better abouth the virtous controller compared to setcpu?
Cheers keep up the good work tho!!
thanks for your hard work, will try it later!

Oh well so much for the bulletproof part, guess this was a flop. Let me know when the FC's go away and we'll talk.

The overclock daemon wasn't intended to work with the smartass governor. The daemon uses screen off profiles which makes the smart ass governor useless. Switch back to the on demand governor or the per shoot kernel and things will probably work better

first thing i notice is that scrolling through the homescreens is smooth as butter! wow.
im going to try this one for some time, see if it becomes my new favourite!
Just wondering is the kernel important to work with the daemon or does the governor just need to be set to on demand and it works with any miui compatible kernel?
so could i use tiamat or streamline5 with this kernel then? (sorry i know jsut the concept behind daemon but not the specifics like this)
The force closes of the controller are due to the frequencies in the scripts that are default not being supported by the kernel. If you want to use a different kernel change the frequency in the script then everything will work as expected.

You can try to flash the extened settings. They should work. http://forums.miuiandroid.com/showthread.php?7738-MOD-Extended-Settings-Menu-Options

Where is the link to the Rom you cooked up. Think you can do do better? Let me know when It's released and we'll talk.
If have to criticize don't be so rude about it.
i totally agree with u...

Ok so now after reading this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=14529333&postcount=5
things are starting to make sense, and it seems legit to go with the pershoot kernel and skip the smartass governor alltogether.
Let's try with the pershoot kernel then
cheers
