[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.

ICS Issues....

Well since I don't have enough posts it won't let me post in the Dev section...ugh....anyway, I just wiped and flashed MazWoz-EVO ICS ROM BETA 4 and had to do it a few times because it kept screwing up after I would restore my apps and data via Titanium. I figured since this was ICS and my previous was Gingerbread there were some issues so I didn't restore data this last time and thought all was well.
I can't seem to get the browser to work and I tried Chrome Beta but I already read on the forum that is not working right with this ROM so I'll try something different. But I heard the ICS Browser is really good so I want to try it! Someone else posted the same issue but no response yet:
slikgman: My browser stopped working and i don't know when and why. I keep getting the message "unfortunately, browser stopped working" i am now using Dolphin HD browser. I've tried using the reboot and ROM manager permission fix to correct the problem.

Then I just went to unlock the phone a minute ago and my background showed up but no icons and none of the home buttons did anything. I could scroll between all the home screens but they were all blank except for my background! Hmmm...maybe I tried ICS too soon...though people on the Dev forum seem to be having a lot of luck with this ROM

Can't really help, but sounds like a bad install. I've been running this ROM for 2 weeks with no issues other than what is stated in OP.

Can I just re-flash the zip or will it force me to wipe again? I just got some of my main apps up and going so I hate to wipe for the third time in the last 12 hours...lol

Also, do you know how to change the lock screen options? I use Handcent for messaging and want to swap out the standard "slide up" to go to Handcent instead of Messaging. I can't figure out how to edit this for the life of me!

Until you've gotten a good install I would always wipe a couple times per the instructions in the OP.
Also, when changing the lock screen icons there is a trick to it. It's discussed many times over in the OP.
Basically (going from memory since I am not running the rom at the moment) you go to the lockscreen changer, if you want to add weather only you use the rosie utility. Otherwise you have to use the other utility option that is there. You can add/change whatever icons you want by tapping the icon and selecting the replacement. The icons on this screen may not update. Once you close the utility the icons and shortcuts should be as you desire. If you go back in it will reset and you will have to do the process over again.

What recovery are you using?

Oops, i just realized my response was for "The Express..." rom shortcuts. Sorry about that!
So to change lockscreen shortcuts go to Apps -> Evervolv toolbox -> Lockscreen -> Lockscreen style -> Custom Mapping -> App shortcut -> Applications....and so on.

I was gonna say! Thanks that's exactly what I needed!
Oh FYI...I sort of figured out the browser issue. All I had to do was go into my Manage Apps, go to Browser and did a Force Stop, Clear Data, and Clear Cache and then went to try it again and it has worked fine since! Weird....
Also, does anyone know where the Car Dock settings are for ICS? I'd like to change the setting to not go into Car Dock mode when docked, since it leaves the phone lit up the whole time. Some ROMs have that option and some don't, but I'd like to know if ICS has that built in and how I get to it.

Another weird thing about this ROM....
If I long press on the home screen to add an app icon, I get the usual list (Apps, Shortcuts, Widgets and Wallpapers) plus choice for Nova Actions. I can add shortcuts and widgets just fine but when I click Apps, it will show me my list of apps but when I select an app it just opens the app! It doesn't add the icon to my home screen! Annoying even though I can still add it there by long pressing the app itself.

When doing this method when you get to the app hold it don't tap it.

Questions about Stock phone and messenging app

I just made the switch from the S2 to the Nexus, and love the phone minus two things...
I really dislike how the nexus doesnt start to search contacts when you start to dial there name or number... any way to flash the touchwiz phone app?
And the smiley face icon that pops up in the notifications and the stock messenger app icon are a REAL dislike, any way to use the touchwiz messenger app?

Hmmm... mine will pop up a contact as soon as you type in a couple of letters. You can also hit the microphone on the home screen and just say "call Mary" and it will do it.

Like if the person's name is sarah... on touchwiz you can start to type S A R
and it will filter the contacts and display the first couple that match, and when you continue to type it will narrow down the contacts... my nexus just displays the dialer

T9 Dialer.
You might find alternative dialers in the Market.
If not...custom roms have this option.

Ok yeah I was thinking that I might have to resort to flashing a custom rom..which i was going to do anyway
Do you by chance know if using the galaxy S3 launcher brings any of these features?
I know im going to get flamed for mention this, but i do like a FEW things from touchwiz such as the phone and icon... could you recomend any of the custom roms?

would there be a way to pull the apks from a 4.0.4 build of the s2 and use those apks?

i dont think so. they use the touchwiz framework, so you would need all the framework items too.

You need more than just the apks, you need all of the other touchwiz BS. And the launcher isn't going to bring the functionality either.

There's a S3 add on pack that might suit your fancy. I recommend flashing it on top of AOKP, it was buttery smooth with no problems for me.

Thanks! Ill check it out... Honestly in regards to the messaging icon, could i just change the icon for the stock apk?

Jelly Bean 4.3 dialer for Kitkat(4.4)

Hi, I have update the my nuxus 4 to Kitkat(4.4) but I am very much disappointed with new dialer, Can any one have the old 4.3 dialer?? Please share me..
Thanks,
Bhaskar

+1, every time I try to swipe to awap screens it deletes my favorites.

Also need it for a friend...If i pull it from factory image will be working??
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk

4.4 dialer sucks
That's why I went back to 4.3.

It really sux!
Agree with you.
Installing apk from jelly bean will fail as it has lower version (and it might be not the only reason).
Maybe some can grab sources from JB Dialer/Contacts app and change it's ID so Android will install it aside with original dialer as separate app painless?
:highfive:

it's just a matter of time till you get used to it, JB's dialer was and is outdated, the new one is a total improvement and you'll learn to like it like all of us did :fingers-crossed:

Why do you want the old dialer? If you have the same problem with it as me, I might have a workaround.
I hate that it doesnt show the dialer itself, I just want to open the app, press a few numbers and call a person. For this, someone made an Xposed module called Show Dialpad which will show the dialpad the moment you open the app. Now I don't mind using the new dialer anymore

Do you know how or if we can get landscape in the new dialler? With the 4.3 one, the dialler automatically switched to landscape when docked in the car, which the Kitkat one doesn't seem to do.

Xposed App Settings can also do that. Go to App Settings > Dialer, turn the switch on and in orientation, change (default) into Normal Rotation.

Thanks and yes I am already using that Xposed mod just to get some degree of landscape as unfortunately it doesn't give a 'proper' landscape mode. It just expands/compresses the portrait screen into landscape. So for example, the dialpad becomes almost unusable with the rows of numbers overlapping etc. On the 4.3 dialler, when docked, it brought up a properly formatted landscape mode, with the caller image on the left, and buttons on the right.

You can install Contacts+ from the play store. I would say it is a nice dialer to replace the stock.

Thanks. This certainly helps, but the one thing we're missing is the in-call landscape. Unfortunately due to the way Android works, it seems as if no other dialler can be used for the actual in-call functionality other than stock.

[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

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
