[REQUEST] CM7 overscroll glow port

I love CM7. I use it on my tablet. However there is not a stable build for my Epic 4g, and I would not want to switch to it anyways, as I am running Bonsai 4.0 and really love it. Its nice having android tablet and phone, AND having different version on each. keeps things interesting.
HOWEVER- there is one thing i would love to have on both devices. that is the overscroll glow effect present in CM7 (where the edges of your screen glow when you drag too far past a menu). Is there any way someone could make something that could be flashed in cwm that would provide similar functionality as the one in CM7??? I have posted on AC forums, on CM7 official forums (on their website), and now on here. No response on the others... hoping maybe one of the devs on here can work your magic. It would be GREATLY appreciated!

Correct me if I'm wrong, but is that a feature of CM7 or gingerbread altogether? I think you might just have to wait until we get stable(er) cm7 or gingerbread.
Sorry!

i believe it is a part of cm7. i have 2.2.1 on my phone already with no such feature. I was hoping there would be a dev that would be willing to either port that feature FROM cm7, or code something like it. i can, and DO, do all my own theming, but when it comes to code i have zero skill.

bahaa ya i forgot CM7 built on is the next version of android. haha. wow. ya it'd been a long day.
but does that mean there is no way to create such a feature on froyo?

[Q] Why No Love Anymore for Froyo?

I've said it before numerous times here, that I haven't had a very pleasurable experience with Gingerbread ROMs (i.e. those built off CM7 source). Every GB ROM I've tried has had their good and bad points, but many of those bad points span across them all since they're built off CM7. Not being able to play videos in portrait mode, Gmail not handling text properly in its margins, etc etc keeps me going back to ROMs built off Froyo. Specifically, I'm thoroughly enjoying Virtuous 1.0.1 (built on HTC Sense), as everything works perfectly in it.
Sadly, no one is making ROMs built off Froyo anymore. If you look back at any of the threads starting with [ROM], you'll notice there aren't many that don't have either "gingerbread" or "CM7" in their titles. ROMs that were built using Froyo have dead links or aren't supported by the developers anymore, so if you have questions or want to report an issue you can't. I wish I had the skills to develop my own ROMs for G2 owners, but I'm just not smart enough nor do I have free time to try learning how to do that. Are there any devs here who would consider building some Froyo ROMs? I know there are still some out there that we could use (Villision by TeamVillain, CM 6.1.1, etc), but they haven't been updated in quite some time.
Who here would prefer using Froyo over Gingerbread? I can't be the only one here who isn't totally sold on Gingerbread. Maybe once the source code is released so devs can build ROMs off it without using CM7 as a base, then I will really start to enjoy it.

You just might be the only one here looking for this, lol. Jk. Its the curse of moving forward with this tech. Noone wants to linger on old, they wanna be pushing into the future. Ive abandoned my froyo builds awhile ago. Deleted backups and everything. So sad.

PyroMod is pretty stable AND it supports actual A2SD. GO Launcher is also better than ADW and the stock Launcher.

If you like Virtuous you might want to give the Desire S ROM a try, it's the best ROM I've used on this phone so far.

I think you're missing the point of this thread. I don't want Gingerbread ROMs built off CM7 source (with PyroMod it's built off CM7-Nightly-31). I'm looking for more ROMs or more development of ROMs built on Froyo. Granted, that could be a really good ROM, but it's still going to have the underlying issues I explained in my OP since this isn't built off pure Gingerbread code. Thanks for the suggestion, though.

There are a few us that still prefer froyo to gingerbread... with CM6.1.1 is there any room for improvement though? I doubt it... when CM goes stable (very soon) and with the release of an official GB for the G2/Desire Z... it won't be long before all of us switch to GB for good.

I also prefer froyo too.. and I think to make cm6 perfect is get that unknown number issue fixed. Why can't they add the same work around they did with cm7 for it? I wish I knew how to make roms, that'll be my first.. and I don't think the number issue is a sim card issue because why would they have made that workaround??

That's so true... I forgot about that one. It's a pain to put the number in everytime you want to use the walkie talkie app or for looks on sms. I saw the name of the guy who supplied the fix for CM7 but am unsure of his user name on xda... if we could find that out, pm him, and add the fix ourselves to CM6.

Double post.

The unknown phone number is the only bug in CM 6.1.1. Sure it's fine after you enter it, but you have to do that every time you reboot the phone. I would love to find a fix for that.

I just want a stock gingerbread rom without the Cyanogen stuff.
A Nexus S out of the box!

Because it's old and Gingerbread has everything Froyo has and more? I'm not sure why this is even a question.

You might want to consider the "Stock Gingerbread".
I totally agree with you. Froyo Roms are more stable, has less problems and everything is working. I too enjoy the Virtuous Sense Rom. Everything works, I tried switching over to GB Sense, not so great with the bugs and other faults that I can't easily customize. its pretty saddening that Froyo Roms aren't being supported and updated. Virtuous Sense was one of the greatest Roms I used during my experience with the G2 and when I try some other Rom I always come back to it. Just really wish I knew how to make my own Rom. But as of now, when I just try to compile a APK with XML edits, I can't compile it into binary . If only a the Villian Rom Devs would reopen their Froyo Roms.....

What I hate is all these roms with sense in them. I hate sense and al the sense roms i've tried have issues and never work completely. GingerV1.5 is the most stable rom I have experienced.

GingerVillain is a good GB ROM as it was built off an earlier version of CM7 (before CM7-RC2 was released). Are you having issues with Sense based on Froyo, Gingerbread or both? There are issues with the GB versions of Sense, but the Froyo ones (i.e. Virtuous) all work wonderfully with almost zero issues. I personally haven't experienced any problems with my phone running Virtuous, just the once-in-a-blue-moon unable to wake the phone with the trackpad.

I completely agree with the first paragraph of the OP. I swear, I could have written it myself.
The nerd in all of us wants the "latest and greatest", and that is fully understandable. But the fact of the matter is that GB has not been officially released yet for this hardware. All the custom GB ROMs are ports, and therefore buggy. I tried various CM7 builds for a while, at first I liked CM7. But eventually the minor bugs all got to me, and I'm on to Virtuous (but using ADW EX instead of the Sense launcher).
Aside from the bugs you mentioned, the camera button on CM7 is really laggy compared to Virtuous (or even the stock Desire Z ROM). And the GPS issue is a constant worry to me. I was able to fix it on RC1, RC2 was fine as-is. But the fact that some people have issues, others don't, and it seems to be radio related, has me thinking its a locational problem. And since I travel frequently for work, it has me less than confidant that I will have a working GPS when I really need it.
Also, there is really not a whole lot different in GB aside from some more consistent theming and a better keyboard. Sense already polishes a lot of the ugly theming in Froyo, and I use Swype anyway, so those GB benefits pretty much are moot for me. I'm sure there are performance enhancements and other small fixes in GB as well, but the performance difference seems to be negligible to me.
This is obviously a matter of personal taste. But I don't think the OP is anywhere near alone, judging from the still decent traffic on the Virtuous thread.

I'm sure that eventually there will be an official 2.3 release from HTC/TMO, once that's been made root-friendly that should be more like what you want. I actually wouldn't be surprised if it were already ready to go but is being held back until HTC gets their Sense 2.3 updates ready.

[ROM][4/15/2011][DEV] DZ/G2 Sensation Sense 3.0 Port *Not For General Use*

This is a port of the leaked ROM from the HTC Sensation (new Sense 3.0 device), for the G2/DZ. I have to emphasize, this ROM is far from usable and is largely intended for consumption by other developers. The reason is that the Sensation is a qHD device (960x540 resolution), where our G2/DZs are WVGA. All the alignment is off to the point where key UI elements are frequently off the screen.
Notes about the changes:
- Full wipe of data is REQUIRED prior installing the ROM.
- /system/app relocated to /data/system.app and symlinked back (to make it fit).
- Uses select libs/bins from the Gingerbread leak for G2/DZ (2.30.405.1)
- Kernel 2.6.35.10 from the Gingerbread leak for G2/DZ.
- Added my modded Superuser.
- Removed HTC's Lockscreen (you simply cannot unlock with it in place).
Again, substantial work will be required to make this usable. Please do not download it unless you intend to: a) just tinker with it for fun, b) to start working on adjusting the images and layout for our resolution.
Download Here

Reserved for future use.

Although this is highly unusable I love that you have ported it to the G2! Best of luck fixing issues!

this looks fun to play with **Clicks thanks button**

They have it (alpha) on the Desire HD ... I posted the link in the Sensation Dev thread.
If that is WVGA, isn't there a way to pull their resolution and use it for the Vision?

They're in the same boat right now. If it gets fixed on any device, we can pull the changes over easily.

First off...Dude thanks for jumping on this so soon....I think the Sensation is the only thing in the market out or coming out, that would make me even consider dropping my G2. It seems like a sweet piece of hardware, and that Sense ROM looks awesome! (and I am not a big sense fan, yet!)

Wold LCD Density have anything to do with this....LCD Density is akin to resolution on a reg monitor, so could you modify LCD to get more "surface area"?

Unfortunately no, the density doesn't help at all. That's the first thing I tried after booting the ROM.

can't wait to tinker with this, i wish i was a dev though =/..but ill gladly be a tester

After it downloads of course. =(

Thanks for all your hard work! I am crossing my fingers for a working version!

the lock screen is the sliding tab i was hoping it was the original sensation lock screen but hey its only the first port i can wait, but the cool thing is that once u unlock it, it does the carousel spin and goes to the homescreen, its cool

i must say this has to be one of the best first ports of a rom..majority of the things are working its not sluggish..only real issue is that resolution issue..great job

this is HUGE!!! thanks a lot rmk!!!

be updated once a fix is released

miui rom 2.3.3 has it

miui -IS NOT- sense
trackball to unlock is not working cause of sense ui, not gingerbread

Ok, then the person must have lied or gotten something wrong, someone in a thread said its already possible, you just had to look good enough to find it. Then i have to stay a while longer on froyo. Cant go without trackpadwake. Thx
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA Premium App

You'll stay on Froyo because of trackpad wake ? You people crack me up. Menu wake does the same thing, if you manage to train your thumb to position itself 0.5cm to the left before pressing down.

i stay on froyo because of other things too.
My reflextsense is super stable and fast,i have trackballwake,no bugs.
Menuwake is ok but i just dont like it,and till now i dont see any features of gb-sense that are superior to froyo neither feature,speed or stability.
If i didnt knewit better i wouldnt realize its gb overall.
it just isnt worth the change yet

[Q] Tv screen power off patch for mikrom's incredible 3d rom

Can someone let me know if there is a patch I can flash or add to the Rom itself to change how the screen goes blank when locked? I'm using mikroms incredible 3d Rom. I want the screen to turn off like a picturetube tv. I think the cm7 Rom does it. I just need to know where to get the patch from..
If you want a stable Rom that runs sense 3.0 on your incredibe use MikRom incredible 3d. Way more stable then kingdoms Rom and incdoes3d. Newtoroot made it and it is awesome. Id tell him thanks but my profile is too new to post on the developers forum. THANK YOU NEWTOROOT.

That rom has barely been out for a week, be more patient I'm sure Newtoroot will fine tune the rom in a short period of time.

What you're looking for are CRT animations, and no those haven't been incorporated yet.

I guess I figured all his roms could use the same patch. I think I remember his incredible 2 rom for the incredible 1 had the crt animation. I figured that would work on his new one.
