ICS on screen buttons? - Verizon Droid Incredible 2

Is it possible to enable on screen buttons when you're running ics on the Droid incredible 2? If it is, then please explain how it is done because I'm curious about how it works.
It's the best! Beats the rest!

You can flash AOKP, and there are options in ROM control, but I think it's a dumb idea for our phone because the buttons take up a LOT of space.

[Q] g.b. or similar to roms

hey guys i am having a hard time finding the rom i really want it either leaves one of the features out or is too laggy. currently i am on a team-nocturnal g.b. rom. the features i want in a rom is non sense i hate sense it always resets on me. i also want a volume rocker wake option, i have tiny fingers i also want 4g i pay for it so why the hell not. and some theming options i have not yet found one the best one so far i have found is cwm however there is absolutely no theming if there is, it is not to my flavor any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
Might I suggest AOSP? Perhaps Deck's? You can find different flashable themes in Evo Themes and Apps for it or download some from the Market. No Sense, has 4G, and you can find the volume rocker setting in Advanced Settings.

Don't mean to be smart-ass, but you sound too picky. Cant possibly eat the cake and have it too.
You will need to find a rom with most of your wanted features, possibly an AOSP one like cyanogenmod 7 as you dislike sense.
The theming part is comparatively easier, so find one that has all the features and apps you need. Then get one of the many themes out there for the T-mobile theme engine on the market/xda or help yourself to the UOT kitchen.
At times the ones that suit your flavour might need you to buy the dev some beer, and its worth it.

[Q] Adding CRT Screen On/Off to SenseUI 3.5 roms

I've been using newtoroots Incredible 2 HD rom for about 3 weeks now, He just released a new Sensation XL based rom that I'm prolly gonna give a whirl.
The problem is that he explained over on the MikMikForums that he has tried to add the CRT Screen ON/OFF animation but it results in breaking softkeys, autobrightness, power saver and randomly causes occasional reboots.
Is there any developers that have succesfully added the CRT animation to a senseUI 3.5 rom without issues?
Please help, newts roms are super amazing and the only thing I think is missing is the CRT On/Off.
It's an issue that has to do with our special soft keys.

Doubtful since CM7 has the crt on/off with no problems. the only bug is that the softkeys don't rotate, honestly I could care less about that.
CM7 is AOSP.. Sense 3.5 is well, Sense. Big difference. It may take some time before this is accomplished.
It has to do with sense and the softkeys all together. Cm7 also doesn't have rotating keys.

download what?
The problem really lies in the framework itself. Breaks a lot of things. I remember newt was able to get it working on stock roms and such, but 3.5 is a bit different. I believe he said it was the phone.apk for some reason causing it to act screwy
It's kinda funny, I actually turned it off in the ROMs that supported it cuz I felt like it took too long to turn the screen off

this is the right forum. the crt animation is part of the OS, hense a development issue, hense the question is posted correctly.
I think its still supposed to go in the Q&A forum.

It's more of a question, so it should be in the Q and A section. There is no developing going on here.

It's under newts pyramid.

afaik, ihtfp69 is the only person who has gotten crt working in sense at all on the inc2 w/o breaking soft key backlights in zeus
he allowed me to kang it for gingersense 2.3.3, and the edits were similar enough for our 2.3.4 ota that i was able to get it going w/o help (minimal minimal changes)
and adrynalyne (in bamf with ihtfp) has it in the bamf inc2 rom...iirc ihtfp either did it for him or helped...regardless doesnt matter
so its probably not gonna happen in any sense 3.5 roms or w/e from newt until/if he figures it out
either way, this probably should be in q & a

you were saying?
this will be a good test of newt's "dev skills" to see if he can fix it.

[Q] Why don't more roms take advantage of the 2nd EVO led?

I love me some cm7, but i recently jumped back to sense roms and am using mikg 3.0 for the evo 4g. I LOVED the extra led used in cm7 roms. How come other roms dont use this feature? also a very much missed feature of cm7 is the menu unlock.
Mikg 3.0 is awesome though and im going to stay with it for now. expecially because it has the volume rocker wake and the volume rocker for going to the next music track. But that second LED is so cool and i wish i had it back! i searched forums/apps, but i dont see anyway of activating it unfortunately i liked the left led for power/charging and i liked the 2nd led for notifications.

You need to search for "WIMAX Notifier". That program enables use of the second LED.
EDIT: This is the one I use.
wow, im usually good at finding stuff i need, which explains my low post count. thanks for the link.
Go SMS also uses the second LED. It's better than the stock messaging app as well.

ICS Soft Buttons

Hello fellows, just wanted to ask if there is any way to bring ICS soft buttons to a Gingerbread rom, specifically Oxygen. Though I like ICS roms, they are still sort of unstable from my experience and tend to reboot exactly when I really need the phone -.- So I prefer the speed and stability of GB roms but my hardware buttons are really barely hanging on and thus I might be forced to switch again to ICS which I don't want to atm. I found the button saviour app which is nice but doesn't really do the same job as original ICS soft keys. Any help is apreciated!

Virtual Buttons On JB Rom (Team Dirt)

Was going to originally post this in the actual ROM thread but I just made my account so it wouldn't let me. I'm wondering how (if even possible) I would go about getting rid of the virtual buttons under the dock (back, home, recent apps). They take up a lot of space on the screen and are incredibly unnecessary when I already have hardware buttons. I looked everywhere so I figure its either not an option or I'm blind. Is it an Apex setting or what?
I know there are a couple other JB roms that don't have these virtual buttons that I have flashed but this one hands down has the best features and is the most smooth not to mention the working camera. The only other camera mod is preludedrews and that one has very limited customization so I would prefer to stick with this one.
bump!
Hmm, working camera, soft keys? What ROM are you on? You may still be on an ICS ROM.
Correct me if I'm wrong

No there are new BlackBean roms that have cameras working at 8mp and onscreen controls (which I hate). Search for BlackBean. He has a Baked and AOKP
