[Q] Query on BHS Roms Mixer B3+BHS Themed RC4 Source ICS

This is a feedback a question or help for solution for the rom "BHS Roms|Mixer B3+BHS Themed RC4 |Source ICS|CAMERA+Dual Pane|8.8B7" from synergye
I use a DHD and downloaded the BHS Mixer (UnThemed) BETA 3 of the rom with the Dual Pane.zip and the EVToolbox fix also.
Everything works perfect - including the camera - So thank you Synergye for that.
But when i go to the app drawer and get back to the desktop pane the widgets and apps seems to have disappeared temporarily. I have to go back to the app drawer once again and return to see them in each page. I am sure there is a fix for this too without screwing up the ones that work already.
Moreover the Facebook status updates won't work for me - this could be a FB issues. But im hoping there would be some good fix for this too if this is a ROM issue.
Shall follow that thread separately to see if a fix is around.

Firstly, thanks for the positive review!
The app short cuts disappearing have to do with a recent commit of nebkat (trebuchet maintainer). Push menu at home screen, trebuchet settings, then home screen. Check and uncheck "fade side pages," or leave checked if you want it on and app shortcuts will stay. This is now fixed in his source and will be in today's build.
As far as Facebook goes, I'm unsure about the status updates, however I did just realize I broke contacts synching. If that is connected(would make sense, due to being the only Facebook commit which has been accidentally reverted) it will also be fixed in today's build since I just switched contactsprovider back to CM from AOSP.
Edit: for glitch free photos, take in landscape, or use flash.

Thanks a ton for the response. Im following the original thread and will hope there is a fix soon for the calendar issue too.Im unable to add the google (or) the facebook calendar as i used to do earlier.
The fade pages deselection worked well as i am on the RC mixed (Unthemed) beta 3.
Any improvements can be expected on the camera front in the near future ? As you must be aware that HTC DHD has a wonderful camera which when exposed to right tool like Camera 360 was a boon to photographers like me.
Have a wonderful birthday too !!

Hi,
Im currently on the RC 9 unthemed, the camera works fine in landscape mode and i love the new ROM control tweaks and the option to change Carrier label. But i have a few concerns which i hope you would keep in mind while building the next RC :
1. Camera glitch in Portrait mode
2. Speed is a bit of issue - although not major. It used to be faster in responsiveness but kinda lags a bit
3. Image viewer/Gallery - Can you embed a better package ?? It is not great for those who have lot of images and folders/albums.
4. Would love to see the keypads shine for telephone dial in !! Am i asking too much already
Thanks in advance.

My experience with stock jelly bean

Hi everybody,
i'm on stock Jelly Bean with official Jelly Bean bootloader + radio and want to tell you about my experience with it (got stock ROM from the link in Rom Manager and flashed the radio and boot loader files from some topic in this forum. Locked the bootloader afterwards).
Okay let's start:
At first haven't noticed any bugs with this ROM. Also the system is way smoother compared to 4.0.4 ICS and many things that have annoyed me in 4.0.4 have been fixed.
Biggest differences between ICS and JB:
(I will add pictures later)
- Data Usage Graph is now linear, like in CM9:
- Some benchmarks are better:
- Some benchmarks are worse:
- Wi-Fi Direct has now an option menu:
- WPS-Pin is now supported:
- the account-settings are now a seperated category in the settings:
- Now there's an arrow downwards instead of the back button when the keyboard is opened:
- There is an other lockscreen animation and you can access google now from lockscreen:
- new animations:
- access google now instantly by swiping up from the home button:
- Process of adding a new word to the dictionary have been optimized:
- Developer options have been rearranged and new ones have been added:
- New Wallpapers:
- New Search-Bar:
- New Radio and Bootloader:
- New Boot-Animation:
- Homescreen objects rearrange when you add an widget automatically:
- New Google Music App:
- New Youtube App:
- New Google Maps app:
- New Voice Search app:
- Contacts with a higher resolution:
- Expandable Notifications:
- Completely redesigned nofication bar:
- New animations in gallery app
- Optimized Camera app:
- New programm-chosing-menu:
- If you want a tutorial or more information about jelly bean just write your questions here. I will update this post afterwards.
Questions:
Is google now english only? :
- No. I just asked a few questions in german. It gave me search results but I it just list sites with the answers. No knowledge graph in german. But it shows me my weather and my route to work with tiles
What happens if you enable/disable WiFi Direct for 5-10 times in a row? In ICS, after a couple of times toggling WiFi Direct the wifi driver crashed and I needed a reboot in order to make WiFi and WiFi Direct work again:
- Sorry I don't have another Wifi-Direct device to test this feature at this time.

Is Google Now English only?
Is it possible to ask questions to Google Now by typing? For example, "What is the weather like in Paris?"

Sorry for double-posting, but I think the topic starter won't notice my EDIT otherwise.
I just meant toggling WiFi Direct on and off. There's no need to find other devices or connect to them. Just enable and disable it a couple of times.
And is it possible to type queries into Google Now instead of using voice?

Yes you can type queries into google now and it will perform those specific functions (i.e. typing "play music by The Beatles" opens your choice music app and starts playing The Beatles).

Geeze I'm really tempted now to switch over to JB from ICS 4.0.4 but not sure if I want to official OTA version or not.

Curious to know, how the Google voice search optimized for commanding. I know everyone expect something like iSiri.
One more, howz the 3D maps and driving directions?

[Q][SOLVED]How to enter gallery directy in Jelly Bean

After Jelly Bean update to get to your pictures you need to click Gallery then My Phone shortcut. Most of the times you need to click My Phone several times to get to the pictures. HTC? Why?
Is there a way to get to the pictures directly, like it used to work in ICS?

That's the only way unfortunately

perhaps use a widget?

I'm not using a Sense launcher but Apex.
I tried using some of the Gallery activities but that produced bugs when returning from viewing a picture.
It seems to me that there are a more places in Jelly Bean update where they require more clicks to get to something where previously it required one click.

Found a solution, it was in the Activities afterall.
Just got to add activities. Scroll to Gallery and add the second activity called:
com.htc.album.AlbumMain.ActivityMainExtLauncher
This will create a normal Gallery shortcut but it will point directly to phone pictures like on ICS.

How to get into "com.htc.album.AlbumMain.ActivityMainExtLauncher"?

I want to know how to get into "Activities" too ??

You need custom launcher such as Apex or Nova.
Long press home screen -> Shortcuts -> Activities and then find Gallery.

[Q] Missed call notification Issue

Noob here... and yes i did search for this...
Sprint has recentyl replaced my wifes phone from HTC Evo to Galaxy S2 due to some hardware issues. While the phone is nice and faster then evo, one thing is missing.
HTC Sense UI has the missed call notification preview / missed message notification preview option to display missed calls / SMS/MMS on the lock screen. Since this is missing on the stock galaxy rom, apps like notify or sms popup work pretty nice.
While I can disable the stock UI to display missed messages by going to phone - settings - and unchecking notification box, i cannot find anything that will disable it for the missed calls.
Missed calls have to be cleared twice now - in apps and in stock UI.
Anyone has any ideas how to get this resolved? I`m open to rooting the phone but cant do a custom ROM at this time.
Any input would be great....
On my device ( Evo 3D ) all i have to do is go to Privacy - and uncheck the boxes...

Root the phone and read some how to guides on removing that, or possibly install a custom Rom with those features. Remember this isn't sense based, Samsung is touchwiz and nobody has been successful porting over a sense Rom

I`ll root the phone tonight.
So i`m assuming that there will be a way to change the permissions to rw somewhere in root
That will work.... i`ll look over the guides
I highly doubt that Sense will make its appearance on Galaxy 2... just saying

Stock jelly bean roms give you a notification on your lock screen.
Messages or missed calls.

Does stock jellybean have option for message / missed.call preview on lock screen ? On other hand I don't think it would matter since you can turn off notifications from within the privacy settings on the phone ans use 3d party app ...

Whenever my phone is sleeping (screen off) and I get a message or call and I'm not near the phone, when I swipe the screen to wake it, it displays a bubble icon with either a message symbol or a phone symbol, letting me know that I had a missed call or message. You then swipe the bubble and it takes you to the phone log or messages.
I'm on rooted /stock jb fk23.

[Q] HellKat Rom (&Cyanogen) Questions

Hello guys!
New to (posting in) the forum so unfortunately I cant post this in the developers topic
But I'm hoping someone could help answer a few questions for me
I finally got around to rooting/unlocking/rom-ing my Koodo T989D
Decided to give Hellkat a try as my first custom rom, and so far it is a huge improvement over JB
So many little annoyances now solved
However with that there are a few things that have cropped up that I'd like to change if possible
First is probably the most important thing,
having used stock Samsung android for the last few years, I grew very accustomed to being able to swipe left and right over contacts in order to text/call them, probably my favourite feature really
I understand that samsungs dialer/contact app are very intergrated into touchwiz but thought I'd ask if anyone knew a dialer that works well and has this feature that I could try out?
Second is the camera, I know recently that stock google camera apps have gone to a very 'clean' interface
however when I am trying to take a picture randomly, I find it far easier to change useful settings if they are shown constantly overlayed over the image (as opposed to pop-ups)
one thing I was impressed with by samsung was their camera apps customizable settings buttons (allowing choice in where and what to display)
Can someone recommend a camera app that has settings overlays or better yet that allow customizable settings buttons?
Third is more specific to the HellKat rom I think..
I've noticed when texting that if I go back to change a word (spelling check) it comes up with a pop-up with a few suggestions and also the option to add to dictionary
However suggestions also pop up in the suggestion bar above the keyboard
I would prefer to only have the suggestion bar, and to not have the pop-up at all
I have tried turning off the 'Spell checker' option in input settings but then neither show up
Is there a way to turn off the pop-up? or will installing google keyboard get rid of it?
Fourth is that I found when typing a recipient number into a new text, in 'Hellkat dark theme' the font is black on black so that you are unable to see the numbers you are typing
not a huge issue but maybe someone can let the developer know
Fifth is just that I am wondering if there is a 'lockscreen widget' (like the one for the camera) that is a dialer screen to place a call from the lockscreen
Thanks to whoever responds and I understand if you are not able to answer some of these, any help is graciously accepted
Will try to provide any additional info needed
Thanks!

P.S. pic is the spell check pop-up i'd like to remove!

did you update it thru the rom today? it popped up saying there was an update but not sure if i should mess with it since it took alot to get this thing running smooth haha
if you mean connecting to the external and internal sd cards with USB thru the computer then yes thats working fine (just checked)
for now i have just disabled "spell check"
i still get suggestions above keyboard but no longer the pop-up when you select the word
unfortunately you also lose the underlining of misspelled words
added this as a lockscreen widget and it seems to work very well so far
Simple Dialer Widget

No that works fine. But I am talking about using an Otg Adapter to plug a mouse or keyboard or flash drive into the phone . This works on certain custom romss on this phone but wasn't sure if it is an option in hellkat
