[Q] Tester for Capacitive Button Brightness App

Hi One X community! I'm from the AT&T One X world, so I don't really belong here However, I wrote a little app for the evita/snapdragon One X that changes the brightness of the capacitive buttons (back, home, recent tasks) and I'm curious to see if it also works on your endeavoru/tegra3 One X. Would anyone be willing to test it out and report back in this thread? Although the app requires root permissions, I cannot imagine it doing any damage to your device should it not work. That being said... anything is possible... you have been warned
If you don't mind testing it out, there are 2 ways to do it:
Load the APK file for the application and run it
Run a command as root
Load the APK file for the application
If you are willing to load the app, the APK is available here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1912216. After loading the APK, just launch the app "Capacitive Buttons Brightness" from the launcher and press one of the 3 buttons in the UI. If the capacitive button brightness changes, then the app works.
Run a command as root
Run the following command from a root shell:
echo 0 > /sys/devices/platform/msm_ssbi.0/pm8921-core/pm8xxx-led/leds/button-backlight/currents
This should shut off the button backlight. Using 1 and 2 instead of 0 should make the button backlight dim and full, respectively. These are the commands ultimately issued by the app.
Other Ideas
If this method of setting the button brightness doesn't work, would you happen to know the command to issue that does work? If you do, I could incorporate that command into my app, and have it choose the right command based on the current device.
Thanks in advance for your help!

Hi there, didnt try your app.
But here at endevour we do stuff differently
either with some kernel hacks - never tried them
apps like screenfilter or adjbrightness and its child.
or :
SENSE: editing framework-res
CM10(not sure this would work on sense):
echo 0 > /sys/class/leds/button-backlight/brightness
chmod 444 /sys/class/leds/button-backlight/brightness
chmod 444 because as soon as you go screenoff it changes to default value, same as reboot.
that path you posted I couldn't find it in my installation.
echo 0 > /sys/devices/platform/msm_ssbi.0/pm8921-core/pm8xxx-led/leds/button-backlight/currents

Thanks PAGOT for the information. So if I understand you correctly, running these 2 commands will turn off the capacitive buttons backlight:
echo 0 > /sys/class/leds/button-backlight/brightness
chmod 444 /sys/class/leds/button-backlight/brightness
But you're saying these two command only work on CM, and not Sense-based ROMs?

I do not know if they work on Sense roms, I didn't try it there. On sense I edited framework-res which doesn't work for sure on CM.
Dont know the other way around . Someone with a sense rom and rooted would have to test it. Right now I am not near a device like that to test.

In an attempt to get this app working on the HTC One X+ (evitareul) I believe I also got it to work on the international One X (endeavoru). Since they both use the Tegra3 chipset the changes that made it work on the One X+ should make it also work on the International One X.
Could someone load the attached app and let me know if it sets the capacitive button brightness? If it does, then I will post an "official" version into the Play Store asap. Thanks!

Confirmed working on international one x running cm10.
The half brightness doesn't work though. When enabled brightness goes down for a split second and then back to full brightness. Nice little app.

Awesome. Thanks for your response! It was the same thing on the One X+ where "dim" and "bright" were exactly the same. On the North American One X (Evita) the "dim" setting is actually slightly dimmer than "bright". I will get this app fixed up and published as soon as possible. I will also start a thread in the apps/themes aection once that is done.

A widget would be a nice addition.

Indeed it would. I actually started to look into it a few weeks ago so next time I have a few free hours (probably in the new year) I'll see if I can hammer out a widget for it.

I've created one (hopefully) last test version of the app. This one only shows buttons for "bright" and "off"; the button for "dim" is not shown on the International One X since "bright" and "dim" have the same effective brightness.
Could someone do a quick test with the attached app? Just press the "bright" and "off" buttons each a few times and ensure that the capacitive button backlight turns on or off, as expected. Also, double-check that the correct device name ("HTC One X (endeavoru)") is displayed at the bottom of the "About" screen. Thanks!
Version 5 of the test app is attached.

An official version of the app that supports the International One X (endeavoru) has now been published. See http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2033973

Works ok and the name is displayed correctly too.

[APP][ROOT][BETA] ButtonLED

New thread with updated ButtonLED.
Everything below this point is outdated.
Hey guys,
I've been fiddling around Tasker for the last few weeks and finally decided to create a fully functional app using it.
At this point, some of you will be thinking "Another useless, ugly, cluttered Tasker created app that does something nobody needs".
Well, then, I'll try to prove you wrong
Note: You do not need Tasker to use the app.
App Description:
ButtonLED is similar to NoLED: it allows you to have LED like notifications without actually having the LED light. However, NoLED uses uses your screen; ButtonLED only uses the hardware buttons' backlight (your screen stays off). It's customizable to an extent, with more to come depending on feedback and suggestions.
Features:
Pause for some user defined time on proximity (e.g. if phone is turned down, or is in your pocket);
Turn button backlight for X seconds, then off for Y seconds;
Should work on all devices since the user can locate the brightness file;
Notification exceptions (e.g. to ignore all notification that contain "Hello", add *Hello* to the exception list)
Logs
Compatibility:
It should work on all rooted devices. It will work out of the box (once you open it) for Samsung Galaxy Ace i devices (Galaxy Ace users will probably need to locate the brightness file), which is why I'm choosing to offer it for testing here. I'll release it in the Android Apps and Games section if the reviews are favorable. If not, I'll take their content into consideration and improve it before release it there.
Running the app:
Install, open, enable in accessibility. Done. You may need to select a different brightness file.
You may also want to customize the options.
On the Galaxy Ace i, the brightness file is located at:
/sys/devices/platform/bcm21553-leds/leds/button-backlight/brightness

Optional permanent notification.
Option to use flashlight instead of the hard buttons' LED light.
Test button that will turn on and off the LED/flashlight.
Other minor modifications and fixes.

Added in v1.1, will release it later.
Would you like to use both (button + flashlight) or just one at the same time? In v1.1, you can only use one at a time, but I could change that.

I'm not sure. It might be because it's not compatible with JB. Didn't think this would be an issue first, since our devices only support GB. Forgot about the regular Ace's custom ROMs.
I'll release a JB apk later, and hope it works.

Test button added to v1.1 so you can make sure it will work.
Other than that, just wait for a notification (e.g. WhatsApp) while your screen is off.

Should be fixed in v1.1. Actually, it shouldn't be happening in v1.0 since I've already included a quick check that resets the brightness to 0, but I altered a few things in v1.1 that should make it fail proof.
@Qeemi/Toscanitex Thank you guys
Changelog of the upcoming v1.1 version:
Missed call/Unread text notifications support. (can someone confirm ButtonLED v1.0 doesn't detect them? I'm almost certain it won't do anything for missed called/unread texts, but I'd rather be certain about it)
Optional permanent notification.

Test button that will turn on and off the LED/flashlight.
Other minor modifications.
I'll upload it as soon as I can, probably in the next 24 hours.
Keep the comments coming!
Also, if you think it's read to be released in the general Android Apps and Games section, please say so.
I'll get much more reviews, bug reports and suggestions there which will allow faster development if time allows it, but I don't want to release something unfinished there.

Good luck!

You may notice it now needs more permissions. This is for the missed call/unread text notification support, and for the flashlight.

No idea why that's happening, sorry. It could be an issue with your ROM, you might want to check logcats if you want.

You can already do that: open ButtonLED, select "Permanent notification" and then press the "X" button.

I will try the app on a stock based rom and on cm9. I'll tell you what it does

Ok, Houston, have a few situations here... with v1.1
The camera led it´s not working with buttonled, no way.
The log does not work.
After 5 hs. the battery power is on 20% , (only wifi is on)
So back to v1.0 and stay here for a moment.
(to be fair v1.0 it´s all I need, but...
Info about the phone:

About the camera LED, just to make sure:
Open ButtonLED;
Select "Use flashlight ...";
Press the "✓" button;
Select "Test ButtonLED". Your flashlight should turn on and off.
If it doesn't work, and if you have Tasker (or if you can install the trial version), can you try creating a simple task that will turn the "Torch" on then off? Just to make sure that Tasker feature is compatible with your phone (the documentation says it's not compatible with all phones).
Regarding the battery, I don't see why that would happen, unless you left your phone with ButtonLED active for those five hours (when I say active, I mean turning your LED on and off), especially that nothing, battery wise, has changed from v1.0 to v1.1.
Did you flash a new ROM lately? If so, try recalibrating your battery.
For the logs, what exactly do you mean when you say they don't work?
Are they inaccurate? In that case, I fixed it in v1.2. It was a slight issue causing skipped notifications to be displayed as "processed" in the logs (e.g. if your screen is on, ButtonLED will skip a notification; v1.1 will mark it as processed in the logs, tho).
If it's something else (e.g. logs not showing up, some other issue), please specify.
Thanks for the reports

Ok..thank you so much ..

I just remembered that pushing the app using adb should give you more information about why the installation failed, so please try that.

Hi, I found this app on Tasker groups (thanks to the author)
However on my device (galaxy s2 with cyanogen10) I have no /sys/devices/platform/*-leds/leds/ and on tasker Set Light says it's not available on my device...
It's a ROM problem I suppose, because keys backlight are present (as hardware) and supported by the ROM (they turn on and there is an option to use or not use them!). Should I ask to cyanogen developers?
again thanks

Yeah, it's probably hidden somewhere else.
Did some googling and found that for the One X (running CM10), it's /sys/devices/platform/msm_ssbi.0/pm8921-core/pm8xxx-led/leds/button-backlight/currents
Other users say that /sys/class/leds/button-backlight/brightness works instead.
So you could also try looking for something similar.
Make sure to report back once you find it

Frequently Asked Questions
Which brightness setting is "stock"? It depends. On Sense based ROMs (eg. CleanROM, ViperXL) "Bright" seems to be the default. On AOSP-based ROMs (eg. CM10, AOKP) "Dim" seems to be the default. It all depends on how/if the ROM maintainer tweaked the default setting. The "default default" (ie. if you RUU to stock) setting is "bright". In v1.0.4, a "Default" button was added to allow reverting to stock brightness.
How do I get back to the default setting? The most reliable way is to click the "Default" button on the main screen of the application then simply reboot. Or, you can just set the brightness setting that is the default.
What happens if I uninstall the app? Nothing. Well, it doesn't change the brightness setting if that's what you're wondering. After a reboot, though, the brightness setting will revert back to the ROM's default setting.
Known Issues
"Dim" does not work on all ROMs and kernels
"Off" does not stick when "GV Integation" app installed

However, I am quite interested personally in different places that this app is used. So if you do include it in a ROM or whatever feel free to post a note to this thread to let me know! The app is licensed under the GPL, which means you can even take it apart and include it in your own stuff... I just ask that you honor the spirit of the GPL (unlike HTC's 120-day policy... grrr!)

Unfortunately, no. Unfortunately, the International One X (endeavoru) does not support the "dim" setting. The YouTube video in the OP and the screenshots from the thread you linked to was taken on a North American One X (evita), which does support the dim setting. I tried, but the capacitive button backlight on the One X (endeavoru) is either off or on... no dim. So instead of having a "bright" and "dim" button that do the same thing, I modified the UI to hide the useless "dim" button.
Good question though. I've added this note to the "known issues" list in the OP: HTC One X+ and International One X (endeavoru) do *not* support the "dim" setting; therefore, the middle button is omitted from the UI on these devices

Yeah, you're right. When ever we turn off the screen, the lights are back. Better to use a script, which should be placed in system/etc/init.d
If any one wants that, I will attach it here.

Hey denversc, please remove the chmod 444 part from the script.

The app is not actually running any chmod commands. I'm not sure exactly why the capacitive button backlight is turning back on when the screen turns back on. The way the app works is that it writes either "0" or "255" to the file /sys/class/leds/button-backlight/brightness to turn the capacitive button backlight off or on, respectively. So probably the OS writes 255 to this file every time the screen turns on. It might be difficult/impossible to "fix" this. Any ideas?

I'm not sure that an init.d script would make any difference. It may be worth a try though. Why do you think it would make it work better with init.d? I just don't understand how init.d scripts are called. Thanks.

Just place it in system/etc/init.d using root explorer and check permissions and execute it from there.

Sorry, I thought you grabbed the script entirely from the q/a thread.
The thing is, you need to set the permissions of /sys/class/leds/button-backlight/brightness/ to read only. That way system wont change it to 255 when screen is turned on.
An init.d script works this way:
1. Set rw-permissions to /sys/class/leds/button-backlight/brightness by chmod 0666
2. Change value to whatever needed
3. chmod 0444 to /sys/class/leds/button-backlight/brightness for ro permissions.
I'm not quite sure if you can use chmod commands or not but thought I'd share this.

Ahh I see what you mean. I can definitely add that logic into the app to see if it fixes this issue. I'll post a test version of the app here in the thread when it's ready (probably late afternoon tomorrow).
One question about init.d scripts... do they run only when the device initially powers on or do they also run every time it wakes up from deep sleep, or every time that the screen powers on?
For now, I've added this issue to the "known issues" list in the OP: capacitive buttons backlight turns back on when the screen turns back on, even if "off" is selected in the app; a fix involving init.d scripts and/or chmod is currently under investigation

Here is a version of the app to test to see if it fixes the issue where the capacitive button backlight turns on when turning the screen on. It doesn't use an init.d script but it does run chmod 666 before setting the brightness and chmod 444 afterwards. The idea is that this will prevent the OS from turning the backlight back on since the file that it attempts to write to is read-only.
The APK of the test version of the app is attached to this post. You must uninstall any old versions of the app before installing this one, as it is signed with a "developer" key instead of the "official" key. As a result, you will also need to uninstall this test version of the app before installing an official version (for the exact same reason). Not doing so will simply cause the install of the APK to fail.
Please let me know if this fixes the issue.

Denversc, already tested. Works fine. Now light after unlock is off . Buttons are always off Thanks

Denver, this version keeps the lights off when the screen is locked/unlocked like intended.
But I can't keep the lights on. After screen on they are off again.
Did you add chmod commands only to the the lights off script?
E: I assume you did, took a look at src.

Great. I can confirm too that this works on Maximus 11. I have been looking for this app since the ICS times. I love how the buttons don't light up because you know where they are anyway and at least in my case when looking at a completely black image, you can see some light on the lower part of the screen from the buttons. Now that is disabled and the screen is gorgeous.

[APP] Peace of Mind+, Fairphone fork

Hi,
I have forked one of the app's released on GitHub by Fairphone/Kwamecorp, the Peace of Mind app. It's bascially an Airplane Mode with a timer.
We become more conscious of our phones as our lives become increasingly connected. Would you like to disconnect, if only for a moment? Your phone will go silent and disconnect from the world: no e-mail, no status updates, no SMS and no phone calls. Choose how long you wish to disconnect (up to 12 hours).
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I'm not sure if they're planning on publishing it as a standalone app (currently a system-app), so I've forked into Peace of Mind+ to make it available for other devices and for eager Fairphone owners!
Released under the Apache License version 2.0. Source code and APK are available here https://github.com/mudar/Fairphone
For Android 4.2+ devices, the app requiers Root privileges to enable the Airplane Mode. On non-rooted phones (or if SU is declined) the app enables Silent Mode instead. This is due to security changes introduced by Google in Android SDK version 17.
Attached are two screen captures and the APK.
When done, I hope to refactor the Fairphone OS launcher.

Yes, sir, nice. That's the reason I really like open source. Just more variants, that's nice. Thank you for your fork.
I have some thoughts about the widget and the app:
The widget is just too big/tall. Maybe it's possible that you can reduce the used space on the screen?
One major bug is, that the app only switches the airplane mode on/off. I usually use WLAN at home and work with activated airplane mode. If I'm going to take a nap for 30 mins, I activate peace of mind but WLAN is still active and Mails, Hangouts (messages, voice/video calls), G+ and other messengers would. The app also does not silence incoming messages. So currently not that much peace. Would be nice, if you can make a workaround or something.
If users install this app, the need root. Please mention it somewhere, maybe in the thread title.

Nice to see you working on that!
Maybe you'd like to submit it to f-droid? That'd be great!

I've edited the OP. However, root is not strictly required. For Android 4.2+ devices, the app toggles the sound (silent) mode on non-rooted phones. If SU is available, permissions are requested (to toggle airplane mode). If declined, the app falls back to toggling silent mode...
I have added the issues on GitHub https://github.com/mudar/Fairphone/issues Upcoming features will also be listed there..

Upcoming version
Next week's version will have a Settings screen to control max-duration (3, 6 or 12 hours) and to toggle Airplane/Silent mode.
Your suggestions are most welcome! Either here on xda or on github https://github.com/mudar/Fairphone/issues

Version 0.9.1
Here's the updated version:
- Settings to determine maximum duration (3, 6 or 12 hours) and disconnection mode (Airplane/Silent mode)
- Fixed layout issues and optimization!
Attached are the APK and a screen capture of the new Settings
The app is also available on the playstore, and the APK is available on GitHub too.

Very nice. Installed it and switched to Google Play to get all the updates automatically.
The 3/6/12 hours steps are really nice implemented. This will save my peace during the (business) day :angel:.
I talked about the functionalities of this app and I was told, there is a further need. Switch off all connections with the airplane mode but then let the user decide whether he wants to get notification (alarm, appointments) or not. Silent mode would probably not deactivate the LED notification light. However I did not check.
At the New Year's Eve party I'll get a chance to try out a Fairphone and then I can compare the original and the improved version and also show it to others.
If you want the app translated, place a request in our app translation thread. And if you want, you can post an advertisement for your app in the Fairphone Blog, like for those who have to wait longer, so they can test at least this app/widget. Almost like a teaser. The guys from Fairphone shouldn't have anything against it, because this is the way they provide their software - open for forks
Oh yes, I put some links related to this app in the OP and we also have a app tester thread.
EDIT: GPS is still active after airplane mode. I understand, this app just enables/disables the airplane mode, but can we get some extra tweaks in the settings area, in this case to save battery? Would be nice. If you know what's on the todo list of the next version, give us an update.
Thank you and enjoy the holidays.
EDIT: This widget/app was mentioned in the article Fairphone im Kurztest (at the very bottom; German, c't magazin, 3rd Jan 2014).

Version 0.9.2
New version released, with many fixes
Changelog:
AirplaneMode enables SilentMode too, to avoid notifications
Fixed SilentMode issue (would trigger AirplaneMode on some android versions)
Fixed video animation playback issue
Fixed minor timer issue (was running an extra minute)
Attached is the new APK, also available on the playstore.
NOTE: I have reported an issue to Kwamecorp, related to the AlarmManager timer that ends the Airplane mode. If you enable PeaceOfMind for 15 minutes, then leave your phone idle (disconnected, screen off), there's no guarantee that the timer would actually be triggered, since it does not wakeup an asleep device. This means that you might not receive any calls after the 15 minutes have passed, until you wake up the device by turning the screen on.
I'm currently working on fixing what I consider a critical issue before actually testing it on Kwamecorp's original version. Sorry about this, update is coming before the end of the week!

Version 0.9.3
New version released, fixing the deep-sleep bug.
There are still some minor UI glitches I'm currently working on. Will edit this post soon, but wanted to publish this before the end of the week, as promised

Version 0.9.4
Changelog
Fixed deep-sleep bug
Improved timer accuracy
Fixed videoplayback issue on some devices
APK is attached here, update is also available on the playstore.
Next version will include widget enhancements and integration of DashClock.

This should be fixed now. The change I made is that Airplane is mode is enabled each time PeaceOfMind is started, so this disables WiFi. Previously, the app would check airplane status, skipping if already was already on.

When enabling PeaceOfMind, Airplane and Silent modes are (now) both set (or silent-mode-only based on settings). So this silences notifications. Handling Alarms is a whole different story since they could be set by different apps. This would require displaying a list of installed apps to handle sound for each. I prefer to stick to the original mission: disconnect from the outside world

Well, it seems that enabling GPS with Airplane mode on varies by manufacturer. It's a very good idea and I understand the advantages, however I don't think such a feature fits with this app's scope. sorry

Thanks @mudar1488 for the recent updates. Before I go on, I want you to update also the first post of the thread, if you upload a new version including the new file, to get a version history. Also a Changelog in the first post would be nice. You also can place a new post, but please also update the first post. This makes it way easier to check if this thread was either updated or not. If the Fairphone index is up or let's say necessary, I don't wanna miss an update.
I use your Peace of Mind+ on my business device, a Samsung Galaxy S3 LTE (720 x 1280 pixels, 4.8 inches). Today I was checking the last version and I saw a couple of things, probably issues, maybe not.
1. Version number
I think I should have the version 0.6, but after a look in the app info, I was confused: "ca.mudar.fairphone.peaceofmind version 0.9.4 beta". Is that right or did I just update to much?
2. Sound on/off
Usually my phone is silenced completely. After I set a time in Peace of Mind+ and time ran out, the airplane mode switched off and sound switched on. So no silence anymore. Please save the settings of the sound before Peace of Mind+ becomes active and after the time ran out, restore the settings. Same thing with the airplane mode, which usually is active on my device, as well as WiFi is active.
3. Graphical issues
I have some graphical issues on my device. When I start Peace of Mind+ you see the following:
You can see a strange graphical fragment on the right of "ATPEACE". I started the app three times, and I always saw a different fragment.
Then I started a time and reset it to zero right afterwards, result:
Ok, so the fragment is gone and the text "ATPEACE" jumped one text line up and stays there, because on the left side, there are two text lines during the time is running out. Check the image below, in this case the two text lines are "1h35 TO1h35". To avoid these fragments, I currently have to set a time, then the fragment is gone.
Hope the images help to compensate some of the wrong or not correct words/text phrases I used. If not, don't hesitate to ask.
EDIT:
Just recognized your title of the post with the latest app version: "Version 0.9.4". I am a bit lost. Why is version 0.9.4 called v0.6 in the file name?

Great feedback @benkxda, as usual
I've added updates to the OP, but for detailed history I on Github. For future versions, I'll probably just publish the updates in the OP instead of adding a new reply each time.

well, this is a strange one! I did test on a Galaxy S3 and didn't see such pixels.
When you enable PeaceOfMind, do you see an animation in the background (like a water flood)?
Do you still these pixels in landscape mode?
How long has it been since last time you did a reboot?! (just looking for hints)
Do you think these pixels could be translucid? meaning do you think you see a scramble of your homescreen ? or do they look more like pixels of a corrupted video?
I'll do my best to find the issue.
I've added the last two to the GitHub issues page
Edit: I've attached 2 APKs to test the Graphical issues. @benkxda reported having graphical issues on his Galaxy S3 (unspecified ROM). Users who have the same issue (screen captures attached) can try installing these 2 versions and see if the issue is still there. Warning: ugly colors are used

What a shame, I forgot my S3 LTE at work. It has Android 4.3.1 running, CM10.2 nightly (set to 280 ppi).
Well, I just thought, I give other devices a try. I used file version 0.6, as this was the version on the S3 LTE, where I found those graphical issues.
First up, the Nexus 5 (full HD set to 440 ppi, Omni nightly). I did not see any problems. Then I tried it on the Galaxy Nexus (720x1280, just like the S3 LTE, set to 320 ppi and running CM11 nightly) and also no problems. It might be a problem with the older Android 4.3.1 or maybe this special nightly? I am back at work on Monday.

Thanks a lot for this. I was looking for such an app when I saw a Fairphone unboxing video.

Yes, I see the animation (smoothly on N5/S3 LTE and on Galaxy Nexus a bit sluggish).
Yes, I see these pixels in landscape mode. Doesn't matter if I start in portrait mode and switch to landscape mode or if I directly start in landscape mode.
I have this all the time, doesn't matter if I try after reboot or at the end of the day... always the same.
This is a bit special. Well, I think I don't see my background wallpaper (my wallpaper is just simple black). But I tried it on two home screens. One screen with a lot of icons, the other one with none (even no navigation icons). The result was interesting, as I saw a mostly brown or green fragment on the screen with much icons and usually a black fragment on the screen without icons. It is not always the brown/green or the black one, but that where the most results.
Hope that helps.

This is a bit special. Well, I think I don't see my background wallpaper (my wallpaper is just simple black). But I tried it on two home screens. One screen with a lot of icons, the other one with none (even no navigation icons). The result was interesting, as I saw a mostly brown or green fragment on the screen with much icons and usually a black fragment on the screen without icons. It is not always the brown/green or the black one, but that where the most results.
Hope that helps.

Thanks @benkxda! Did you try-out the v07a and v07b versions (attached here)? the latter doesn't play video and they both use ugly colors to try to understand what zone/element holds the strange pixels!
However, I do suspect an issue with the custom ROM or the custom DPI value used

New Version 1.0

Nnnniiice work! So will you get/ put it into the f-droid repository as well? Looking forward to it! :good:
(also, please tell me if the people from f-droid put it into their repository or if a developers has to do that. It could be just them, because all the code is available and they build it from source by themselves to make sure applications don't differ from the code they link to/ offer)

-MOD EDIT-

REPORT SIR!!
There is no english for music equalizer.

it would be nice to see the title of this thread in the xda fashion...
i.e. [ROM] [date when last updated] [android version] [variants supported]
it's a bit messy how it is right now

Flashed it this morning. ROM is great. HDR mode does not work on this ROM. It force closes the camera and the theme store is not in English. BEsides that so far that is the only thing I have found. Thanks for this.

anyone able to get mms to work？

good to go on VS980?
Hate to be the guy that "Had to ask" but is this compatible with the Verizon version of the G2?
I know the title says "all model" but I wanted to be sure before jumping in.
thanks in advance.
