If you run into a dialer force close issue, check out this fix. Simply flash the file in Clockwork just as you did with the ROM. No wipe necessary.

let kabaldan finish it's cm6 first ... if he commits his sources to a public repository, other developers may jump in and change our milestones

i´ve seen this is ported to droid so porting the home app to milestone it shouldn´t be that hard i would love to give this a try !

what you see in front of you , is not always "just a launcher", so beware, it can be a lot harder to make it work on milestone, as droid has no strange baseband problems(12+ different variantions + drivers changes), no bt,gps,gki system as backend to handle communication.
and finally, it might have less memory and can look nice, but reloads alot. which is not a problem on droid with swap and compcache options enabled.

someone please tell me what dialer this is using..
that looks like the perfect smartdialer for me

Doesn't look anything special anyway? :/

yes please stay on topic, we need to know if someone wants
to try to port this to our Motorola Milestone, the UI looks very nice
and fast to me + this ROM looks like no other so we got more different
options to choose from to install
Hopefully kabaldan can take a look at this thread and the Droid ROM
provided

Wow that is a sweet ROM ... its kinda like what I imagined Android should be (iOS + widgets + Google stuff).
Its awesome because it basically borrows the strengths of both Andriod and iOS and makes it into a hybrid: very intuitive user experience that supports advanced features.
I really dig the whole layout: just one place where you scroll pages (not double like Galaxy S's TouchJizz).
I think its awesome how you:
+ have only one main area where you scroll (unlike Galaxy S)
+ you have a cool looking arrow (that indicates which screen you're at)
+ the arrow is positioned in a great location
+ the arrow allows you to quickly scroll between them (your fingers dont need exercise!)
+ can have unlimited "Home" screens
+ easily rearrange them (so you can move groups of Apps easily)
+ can manually choose the main home screen is also awesome
+ can easily delete Apps from the home screen (that rubbish bin at the top is so cool)
+ enter "edit" mode on the homescreen (displays the boxes)
+ add Widgets in this weird but wonderful way
+ easily rearrange Apps and folders
- too bad you can't place folders inside folders (which isn't a big deal and actually helps keep things simple, but I still prefer having the option)
- too bad you can't make shortcuts of Apps (making it impossible to launch Apps from several places/homescreens)
- too bad it doesn't support haptic response (...that would be so cool!)
- too bad it doesn't work in landscape mode (I have an idea how this can be implemented in a great way, I will make a mock-up if requested*)
I also dig the intuitiveness of:
+ the controls/shortcuts for wateva screen is always located on the bottom (familiarity/cleaness)
+ Apps automatically get a coloured backing like on TouchWiz, to make each App look more familiar (retains order) but with its curved sides it still retain some funk (reminds some of the iPhone, in a good way)
+ I like how the page bounces when it hits the end, while kinetic-scrolling
+ the transitioning (page quickly zooms in when opening/zooms and fades out when closing)
+ I like how the Widgets/startbar/notifications tab are transparent (requires a theme that can change these collectively)
+ like the space to put 0-6 Apps to launch from the App-dock and re-arrange them easily
+ like the large icons on the bottom of the Contacts page
+ like the large icons on the bottom of the Dialer
- the Music App has the same thing but its located on the top row (they forgot?)
- the App-dock doesn't let you put any folders into it, shame (but probably an easy fix)
- the dialer could've been improved by taking some cues from the the Galaxy S... if requested I will make you a mock-up**
- the settings page is just stock Android, they could've decorated it slightly like on the HTC Sense ROMs (probably an easy fix)
I loved how you can scroll the "functions" buttons in the notifications tray but overall I didn't like it as much as the Galaxy S's, its great but I see some areas of improvement:
- i think they should've have 4-larger "functions" displayed instead of 5 smaller ones
- i think somewhere in the Settings they should've made an option to Add/Remove some of those functions and arrange the order according to the user (like having a second App-dock but instead for system tools, a Tool-dock!)
- i think it needs the controls for music/movies (the media player) in the notifications tray like the Galaxy S (that's actually awesome)
Other things that would make a killer experience on an Android phone is if they also had
1) the "hibernate" function that intiates when you switch off your device (new HTC Sense),
2) a customizable theme that's consistent throughout Widgets/Folders/Pages,
3) and 3 main buttons (no need for trackball) to make the experience intuitive;
Left button***
= press is back (works the same way already in Android)
= hold (1.5sec) is Force-Close the app (which is so handy in Android that its not funny)
Middle button***
= press directs you directly to the "main" homescreen
= hold (1.5sec) opens you another page that "previews all currently running applications" (which is great for speedy multitasking)****
= See this just as an example for what happens when you hold the Home button http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4013/4355688804_68ccaca964.jpg
Right button***
= press initiates the Menu function
= hold (1.5sec) initiates the Search function (just like on the Galaxy S)
And arranging the buttons in this order allows easier use for users because it is intuitive (majority read left-right, buttons function in that same order ... WP7 actually got this right)
I think that is the best way to go about Android ROM's (with my slight improvements) as a Froyo build. So yeah, this is about 90% finished of what I envisioned/want from Android (for the DEXT/Milestone2/GalaxyS). If you want to visually see what I mean at the (*)'s, I can do so if you are wanting

Hmmm nobody interested in this porting it to Milestone??

Sorry for that, I guess that I decided to postpone my reply and then forgot. Sometimes I'm not in the social mood, my friends are used to it .
I hardly find the time to focus on the bugfixing and improving of the CM6 port. I will not start any other project anytime soon, otherwise I could loose my wife, daughter and job .

believe me that if you just take 15-30 each day you will make it...and i'll be happy to know that someone's working on that
By the way YOUR ROM ROCK!!!

[Q] [CM9] Small text/icons. In Car Nav/Ent Questions

Looking for some help from my fellow XDA folks.
I've been running my SGT7 in the dash of my car for just over a year, loving the hell out of it. Upgraded to CM9 and it runs so much better, so smooth, but I've got a few issues.
For anyone interested in what it looked like in my dash on Gingerbread, here's a video I took the day I installed it.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZC5c6OZLnzg
I'm having a hard time reading a lot of the text because of the small size on CM9, and the icons are so much smaller than on Gingerbread, making it hard to select icons while driving.
I installed DPI changer and tried several different DPI settings. The ones that turned it into "phone mode" really looked about perfect, but gave me no more ICS navigation buttons. I need those, as the metal frame that holds the device in my dashboard covers the hardware buttons. I REALLY do not want to go back to using Button Savior either.
Suggestions?

Any one?
I'm basically looking at running the phone UI but keeping navigation buttons I guess.
Perhaps a different launcher, with the dpi changed?

Asking for a little guidance in the ROM / Kernel / MOD-Dschungle

Hey everybody,
I spent the last two weeks since I got hold of my HTC One with flashing every Rom available, but still I couldn't find an entirely satisfying package.
Since I see all the mods and kind of got to know that a lot of options are available via Aroma Installer I am beginning to question my approach.
Maybe I got it all wrong looking for the one ROM that fits my needs...
But that was what I was used to on my Samsung Galaxy Nexus.
I basically sticked to one ROM for months and applied occasional updates.
Basically what I would want:
Good Audio Quality
It doesn't have to be Beats, but at least equally loud and not cracking like most of the AOSP roms I tried.
This is crucial as it was one of the main criteria for me to buy the HTC One. I want to make use of those gorgeous speakers.
Stock look preferred
I feel that Sense is way to bloated and I kind of like the stock Android Halo Look.
As I am using Nova Launcher anyways I wouldn't be missing the Sense Launcher. I find the Sense Settings Menu confusing, to be honest.
Battery Percentage on the right, no extra icon on the left
Notification Toggles / Horizontal Toggles
Well there are apps (like this one), but they require to display a notification icon permanently.
Power Saver Mode
This one is apparently working quite well...and I wouldn't mind having it in the CustomROM.
But if I can get a sufficient amount of daily use outof it I would be happy enough
Changing Screen-Density to 400 to 420dpi
Doesn't really matter if done via manually editing the build.prop or in a different way. It's just important to me that it can be done withouth making the Framework instable.
Hide IME-Switcher Notification, as I am using SwiftKey permanently
Longpress Back-to-Kill
I really make use of this quite often as I have a lot of apps that I use only once a day, such as banking or runtastic. After using them I am used to killing them, which saves me the detour of going to the recently used apps.
Kill-All in recently used apps
If I have to kill 10 or so apps I endorse having the kill-all button.
Home / HTC-Logo / Sweep 2 Wake
My hands are average size so it is quite a pain to reach all the way up to the power button. (Misplacement if you ask me.)
Something I thought I might get used to, but I just couldn't.
(...seriously, this is what works on the iphone. Waking the phone pushing the home button, while it is placed on it's flat unwobbly back. Hence the HTC One lays better in the hand due to the curved back.)
Some way to wake the phone up without using two hands would be great.
HTC-Logo to Menu or Option to have an onscreen-menubar
I kind of miss the menu button...if the 3-dot menu is just disabled in some roms.
I actually was considering getting the onscreen menubar back and linking the home and back button to apps such as Whatsapp and Google Now solely.
Enough of the wishlist :laugh:
Has anyone any recommendations how to get this jack of all trades stock rom?
I tried the following:
Android Revolution HD, TrickDroid, ViperOne, InsertCoin, bigxie Google Edition, the nandroid of the GE stock image.
PAC-man, CyanogenMod, ParanoidAndroid
At the moment I am running InsertCoin, which is not that bad. But still feels a bit bloated, due to the sense "look and feel".
If I would have to evaluate what bugged me the most and really surprised me on each "type" of rom the baseline would look like this:
Sense based roms:
+ Battery Life
+ Stability
+ Sound Quality
- "messy" Sense look and feel (Settings etc.)
Google Edition roms:
+ Stock look and feel
+ Sound Quality
- Battery Life
- Customizability (Battery-Percentage, Toggles etc.)
Non-HTC Base roms:
+ Stock look and feel
+ Customizability
- Battery Life
- Stability
-- Sound Quality very poor
Please don't get me wrong.
I am not someone who is too lazy to get through all the Roms and read myself into it. :angel:
But I think that I might be missing out on something or just overlooking an option, like a kitchen for the HTC One or so
Thanks in advance :good:
All the best.

Flash the ViperOne
you will have all you want.

That's what I thought as well
And I tried it yesterday evening.
Though it felt bloated. It's not only the overwhelming sense-like UI, but as well all the features it offers.
Viper debloated and Google Edition based, with a leaner approach to all the used icons would be love on the first sight :good:
Thanks for the immediate reply
(just realized I called ViperOne "Venom" in my prev. Post)

You have to do a choise.
If you like the GE Rom, flash this, but the audio, the zoe function and much more there aren't.
ViperOne is the best rom for the customization

Okay Slim Bean for the HTC One seems to be the best compromise. :victory:
Not bloated at all, stock look and feel, true black theme and all the requested and beloved features are available.
The on thing I was worried about was the One-specific things, such as Hardware Key Controls and wake-options, but they are built right in the rom/kernel combination.
A user reported 22h (100% to 2%) with slightly over 4h of screentime, which sounds sweet.
Gonna try to install a sound mod to increase the soundquality.
Even though it is not as bad as on the other AOSP-based roms that I tried before.

Samsung Galaxy S5 - Omega Droid vs Cyanogenmod Camera and Calendar app

Hello everyone
I want to flash a new, fast and nice performance ROM on my Galaxy S5, but i want to keep the stock camera and calendar app.
As far as i know, if i install a new ROM it will delete and replace the stock camera and calendar, so my question is, which ROM Omega or Cyanogen let me do that .
Thank you very much for your help

Omega will let you keep the stock camera. Not sure about the Calendar.
You lose both in CyanogenMOD for sure.

Just out of curiosity, what don't you like about the stock ROM? The performance is on par with any of the alternat ROMs out there, so why risk borking your phone or losing apps that you want to keep?
Just get a different launcher to modify the look and feel of the phone to your tastes.

you're mostly correct but there's one thing that it's very different between TW ROMs (that I've tried) and AOSP ROMs (like CM or Carbon) - the notification and quick settings panels; i'm not sure how much these can be customized on TW ROMs and how easy it is to do so but in their default implementation I find CM's notificaiton and quick setting panels vastly superior to those of TW's

In what way? Been awhile since I used an AOSP ROM...
I mean, the notification panel is such a trivial thing most of the time. Shows battery, clock and basic alerts... To me, it isn't worth the risk of messing up a good phone, or introducing instability or missing features, just to tweak the battery alert or whatever...
I was all into ROMs on older phones like the DroidX, Thunderbolt and some others... because the stock roms were crap. Issues, random reboots, horrible lag, etc... The ROMs got the phones to work properly, they way they were meant to.
But on my LG G2 and now this GS5, I just don't see the need. There is no lag, everything works beautifully, and when I research the ROMs, there is always some bug, some missing feature, something that just doesn't work right... So I don't see any point in switching, when you have 20 launchers to choose from that can make your phone look and feel any way that you want, with no risk and with not having to give anything up...
Each generation of phone and release of Android, makes ROMs more and more obsolete, IMHO... I think that 90% of the people that use them today, do it either out of habit, or just because they want to show off to their nerdy friends.

Nice work!

Well, you are so right, I will keep my stock ROM with the apps I want. But, now I have other question, my GS5 is on ATT and I want to remove the bloatware apps that I don't use, do you know where can I find the complete list for this carrier. Thanks for your time.

What I meant by the notification panel was not just the bar across the top of the screen with a bunch of icons but also the pulled down notification menu as well as the quick settings panel. On TW half of the screen's real estate of the notification menu is taken by a row of toggle icons (which are duplicated on the quick settings screen), two buttons that launch apps that I never used (S Finder and Quick Connect, I don't even know what these apps actually do) and a brightness slider (which in fairness can be disabled, if I recall correctly.)
Then you get to the quick settings panel on which there's also not that many shortcuts that I would use (most of which are for the extra features of TW which I also have no interest in) and there's quite a few that I'd love to see there but they're not available. On CM, on the other hand, the notification menu is clean and simple; it's not bl(essed|oated) with some additional buttons which you may or may not use. The quick settings screen is also much more customizable than that of TW's which only allows for rearanging of toggle icons. On CM you can add, remove and freely arrange all icons on the quick settings screen. And yes, you can add that row of icons to the notification screen and get rid of quick settings altogether, if so you desire.
Some toggles that are available on CM but not on TW are screen time out, lock screen disable/enable or torch. Personally I happen to be using these numerous times throughout the day so while it is only a minor inconvenience to go to the settings and change something manually it adds up quickly if you have to do that often.
To summarize my little rant - the notifications menu and quick settings panel section of the system's interface is used quite often by me (and I'd say others as well) and I simply find inadequate what TW has to offer here. The rest of the TW is either virtually the same as any other version Android or can be easily "fixed", example of which was mentioned by yourself (the launcher).
Now, I agree with you that it may not be worth it for some people to "risk" using a custom AOSP ROM but it can't be denied that by definition such ROMs offer a much greater flexibility and allow one to use their phone exactly how they want (to a greater degree than can be said about TW). Differences can ofcourse be described as "minor" but whether they're significant is for everyone to decide on their own. After all, if there was no need for custom ROMs (whether it's just showing off to nerdy friends or some other reason) people wouldn't create them...

Have a look in this forum. There's a good few "debloated" ROMs over there, and a list of what's removed is sometimes included. As for what to remove the apps with, I would personally recommend Titanium Backup.

New Nexus 6 owner - how is your N6 cusomized?

Well, I got a refurb. 32GB Nexus 6 on ebay.
Love the phone, so far I unlocked the bootloader and manually flashed the latest 6.0.1 image from the google site.
I have not yet rooted the phone or installed a custom recovery.
I am wondering what kind of tweaks you guys are running on the phone?
So far I want to have these:
DPI change - icons and UI are huge
Black Settings menu
Vibration strength needs to go down
Speaker volume increase
Double Tap to wake
Possibly a better camera app (not sure which one is best, im coming from Lg G4-that phone was crap, battery life and heat killed it for me)

"DPI change - icons and UI are huge"
Pointless, waste of time, unnecessarily risky. Buy Nova Launcher and you can have as many small icons on your home screens and app drawer as you like. (If you're interested I'll post a screenshot).
"Double Tap to wake"
Requires root. I use the app Double Tap to Wake, and it's pretty good but doesn't work 100% of the time. I read a long time ago that it's in the ROM but Google disabled it for this very reason - doesn't work every time, so a flaw in the hardware/ROM, not in the app.
These two in conjunction minimise the use of the power button - and you don't have to look far in this forum to find how many people have power button problems. Double Tap to wake the phone, and Nova's swipe gesture (paid version only) to lock it - great combination. Plus all the other stuff that Nova does, so much stuff that I doubt I use a quarter of its functionality.
And I don't have shares - I'm just a very happy buyer...

I made my own rom.

And Nova Prime is on offer now on Play Store for 50p - 70 cents...

for dpi, i've used an app called textdroider_dpi and set mine to 420 with no problems. Everything works fine - Play store, Android Pay etc and it looks great.
For volume, use the ROM in my sig. It's sweet

Looks like the OP has lost interest...?
