Raptor912 said:
Yeah! I have been following you and Bo's posts about Fission. Decided to give it a go and I am glad I did!

Exchange works!

Will run it for a while, then put on Matted Blue Theme (Awesome!)

Thanks again

Great Im happy for you! Im still on the stock theme. Let me know how you like matted blues. Im tempted, but love the stock look of Fission with the black theme.

Cheers!
 
Will do. The only thing I dont like so far is the white background on the messaging app and I dont want to use Handcet or Chomp

I hear you man and feel the same. Its probably the only thing that I don't care for. Maybe when you install matted blues it will change the mms.apk? Not sure.

I don't like nor want to use Chomp or Handcent either. I hope Team Defuse changes that at some point. I've emailed Angelo about it before so we'll see.
 
Getting ready to try 2.5.7 Anyone give me the install procedures coming from another rom. I thought I saw somewhere that you need to mount system which I have never had to do with other roms

Why don't you guys just try installing Liberty's Mms.apk. Changing the background color requires modifying xmls. Both Liberty and ApeX xmls have 6 entires to change colors, while Fission only has 3.....leads me to believe that you have to change other parts in the code of Fission Mms.apk to get it to be the same......just easier I think to use Liberty's Mms.apk.

EDIT:
I actually I don't even remember if Liberty's background was black or not.

Well that's the deal. I can't find the install directions. No wonder not many people are running fission. I've had a hell of a time finding the download (which I do have now) and the install instructions.
 
Liberty's Mms.apk works and the background is black, I just tried it :D

Here it is if you want it, I made a zip:
http://www.mediafire.com/?v02xdg4a8ii96dt


If you install and the background is not black, simply try shutting down the app and restarting it. If it still does not change, go into mms.apk settings and uncheck the "Black Background" check restart......go back into settings check the box again, and restart......as a last resort if it's being stubborn just reboot the phone with the "Black Background" box checked.

EDIT:
I removed the link because that is modded for BWC, I will post the stock mms in a few....sorry.

EDIT 2:
Ok, the correct zip is up now :D

Put on sd card, boot in to recovery, wipe cache, wipe data, go in to advanced and wipe battery and dalvik, back out to main menu, go in to mounts and mount system and data, main menu and chose zip, pick rom zip and install, reboot. Once in android go settings them privacy and wipe all user data....after that when boots back up do a final reboot. Then add on anything you want.

Imo let the market clean reinstall your apps automatically.
 
I am running Fission 2.5.7 and love it, the only thing i dont like is the dialer, i downloaded dialer one and its ok, but still not what i like. Dose anybody have a recommendation for a good dialer?
Thanks

What's wrong with the stock dialer? I only know of dialer one really. Sorry maybe someone else will chime in.

FYI, you don't need to mount the system when installing Fission. Here are the manual directions from Team DeFuse website.


  1. Select the ROM for your device (Droid2, Droid2 WE, DroidX or Droid Pro)
  2. Download and place ROM on SD Card
  3. Open Bootstrap
  4. Tap
 
So how are you liking Fission so far Raptor? Have you had a chance to flash the black mms.apk that bouchigo has done up? I've not had a chance yet.
 
I like it a lot. I have not had a chance to check out the black mms that no did. Hopefully later tonight. I look forward to fabers matted blue theme as well. Looks sweet and am particular to the font in that theme.

Overall, Fission is a keeper for me. I think I will stick with this one for a while.

That's cool man glad that you like it. I could not understand why there have been no major posts on Fission here in awhile. Guess we've all been in ApeX and Liberty love. But times have changed, well, for some of us.

Let me know if you like the black mms if you get to it before me.

You're on 2.6.1 right?
 
Yeah, 2.6.1

Yeah, the tool boxes and stuff were cool in Liberty and Apex, but it got a bit stale after a while. Overall speed and functionality is what I am looking for. Minimalistic smoothness! :)
