[Q] CM7 Alpha 4 SD file transfer and Accelerometer

I have alpha 4 downloaded, but i cannot do any file transfers from my computer to my phone. I was wondering if this is a known issue or if there is a way to get it working.
Also, how do i fix the slow accelerometer? I did what was said in the first post of the CM7 thread, but it didnt work.
This post was edited twice with new questions.

I cant wait to get a stable gingerbread rom

Bump for new question up at OP.

Take the SD card out and use an adapter to transfer files directly from your computer, it will not read properly while in the phone.

New question again. See OP

Man u have to understand that alpha means its a test version not everything going to work all the bugs are getting worked on and they will realese when its ready. If its to much for u don't flash it and go with a diffrent rom that is more stable for u

Excuse me Mr. Douchebag, I do believe he was just asking if there was any fixes known, not *****ing or complaining about ROM. So remember what your mother told you when you were a kid, if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all.

thanks! i posted this thread in there for the exact font, got a response that someone will work on it so hopefully all is good! thanks for the lead!! (post thanked as well)

Took me a few minutes to figure out how to install them as i never had a need until this phone.
Basically go to the thread link above on your phone and download the ones you want. Then in the browser, bring up the menu and go to More->Downloads and then click the fonts you downloaded and install them.
Then go into the phone Settings->Display-_Screen Display->Font Style.
Easy!

[THEME] Change ICS Grey Background to Black using ZipThemer/MetaMorph

This mod will change the stock grey gradient background in ICS to solid black (see attached pic). This should work with any ROM. To install, see the instructions at the bottom of this post taken from atticus182's thread (anywhere that it refers to "Softkey Style", replace that with "blacked-out.zip").
This zip is 100% the work of belipe: blacked-out.zip
atticus182 said:
*** ZipThemer ***
Download and install ZipThemer from the Market
Download a Softkey Style using the ZipThemer link in the First Post, and open up ZipThemer on your phone
If this is the first time using ZipThemer, hit the (hidden) menu key -> Hit "Update Edify" -> Hit "Browse" (pick a file that you have flashed before on your phone, like your ROM or a theme) -> Hit "Configure" -> Then hit the 'back' softkey to return to the main screen.
Click the "+Theme" button, browse to the download folder and select the .zip you have just downloaded using the ZipThemer link in the First Post, probably /sdcard/download
Click the "Build It!" button, and when it prompts if you want to make an "undo-zip", click "Always"
You will now see the output screen with the Build Log, check if everything went alright, it will show that a zip file has been created on /sdcard/
Reboot your phone to Recovery after this and flash the .zip file that is created on /sdcard/
Done! If you experience problems or want to undo the action just flash the "undo-zip" that's also located on /sdcard/
*** MetaMorph ***
Download and install MetaMorph from the Market, open it at least once so that the folder AndroidThemes will be created on /sdcard/
Download a Softkey Style using the MetaMorph link and move this .zip file to /sdcard/AndroidThemes using your favorite file explorer
Open MetaMorph, choose "Unzip/Extract new theme" and select the .zip file you downloaded. A popup screen will appear, meaning it has been extracted. Press the "Close" button.
Hit the "Apply all!" button and wait +/- 5 seconds (nothing will happen)
Reboot your phone immediately after this and you're done! Oh, and set a new wallpaper because it may be restored to default..

[SOFTKEYS] [09-03] Softkey Collection 2.0 [GSM/CDMA]
[THEME] Blue Magic (Full ICS) Theme (CNA 1.5.0 | Universal .zip!) [Mar 10]
I was wondering if it's possible to make a similar zip file to change the grey background in the ICS Settings and other screens to solid black? Is this even possible? Being able to apply this to any ROM using ZipThemer or MetaMorph would be amazing - that grey ICS background gradient is just so ugly.

of course that is possible, as you can see in many themes. I dont know zipThemer or metamorph, but generating a zip with the changed images is very easy.
you can find the image you have to change in /system/framework/framework-res.apk/res/drawable-nodpi the file you have to change is: background_holo_dark.png

Thanks, I'll try the manual route for now then (will try this on BAMF). The reason I thought a file compatible with ZipThemer or MetaMorph would be good is because is auto-generates a flashable zip for you, as well as an "undo" zip. Very convenient and user-friendly.

Yep I know that, but sadly I never worked with that. The manual method is the method I prefer, because I control whats in the zip and whats not

this would be awesome especially for rapid release roms like cm9 nightlies

There is a vrtheme patch somewhere in that thread, or here:
http://www.teambamf.net/f75/[rom]-bamf-paradigm-v1-1-[4-0-3]-4416/#post80887
It should work on any rom.
Just an alternative in case you guys don't want to use metamorph. I always use this. Makes for a clean look.

It was popular with some of our beta testers. I couldn't convince the team to let me include it though

thanks for the theme

Thanks for this, they grey gradient always reminded me of the G-Nex screen flaws

Awesome mod! The black looks so much cleaner and fits my current layout much better than that gray did.

Works on Liqiudsmooth v1.3

It's a VRTheme - just copy it to your N7 and flash it in recovery (either TWRP or CWM).

Hey few questions
First is there did you get the icons from. Do you have Amy HTC ones? Or any other interesting ones?
Also what happens when i want to update my rom. Do i have to re flash?

Thanks , its working ) i tryed only MetaMorph before, i dont saw on google any other tutorial

Its Easy. No need to change roms or anything.
Just install the application mentioned in this post "forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2219804" and remember you need to have busybox installed or it wont work. It worked for me on my Nexus 7, as you can see in the screenshot attached. Hit thanks if I helped you.

App "SoftkeyZ" from the playstore (needs root & busybox) does the trick.

AOSP browser without root (yes you read that right) 4.3

I have a method to install the aosp browser without any root privileges at all and no modifications of the system partition. Just involves installing 2 or 3 apks (depending if you want bookmark syncing). This should work on any of the other nexus devices that came without stock browser.
Please don't repost this yet. I want to add in the other languages to browser.apk for the "find on page" button in the menu. I fixed English. The stock nexus roms don't have the string in framework-res for this one button.
Download zip (this is not a cwm package/just extract it or open the files from inside)
http://www.mediafire.com/?f98l0b3apkbb6s1
Steps:
1. Use es file manager to browse to system/app and install browserproviderproxy (it will say app not installed, don't worry it worked) OR install the included file
2. Reboot (it will not work without rebooting first)
3. Install Browser4.3_blackhand1001.apk
4. Install ChromeBookmarksSyncAdapter_blackhand1001.apk (this will give you bookmark syncing)
Extras:
User agent selection in Advanced Preferences
Fullscreen Toggle in Labs
Please post if it works for you!!

Sorry fixed it. Moved it to mediafire.

Updated the process. It now should work on all devices. Turns out the signature on browserproviderproxy differs between devices.

Does this work on all devices as well as previous version of android say for example Sony Xperia S running 4.1.2 (comes with stock browser version 4.1.2-N7_zg)?

yep working fine on my nexus7.. though there's no option for full screen.

Its not going in the system folder. You navigate to folder and open the existing apk to install it. It does not effect OTA updates. I just included another copy of the file for those who don't know where that folder is.
