Rooted, Nex'd, and Overclocked my Droid in less then a few hours(I literally just found out about rooting and all this about a day ago, I am not much of a hacker.. haha) ITS EASY AS PIE!

Just one question, I am still VERY new to all of this, and I have seen people with a calendar that takes up an entire page, and I would love to have that. :D
 
I really like Agenda Widget for full page calendar view.

I have been very pleased with this ROM overall. But i just noticed today that i cannot get navigation to give me turn by turn directions, i just get searching for GPS when i try to navigate. It knows exactly where i am now so i know it is actually detecting my current position. Anyone else having an issue?
 
Flashed this rom after the update and its been amazing, running the p3droid 1ghz kernel and using LauncherPro, super fast, great work Fab. The only problem I've been having is redraws... anyway I can fix this??
 
I am using this and just DL Helix Launcher. Everything in Helix works great, except the auto rotate. I have gone into configure and checked it. Nothing. Did a reboot. I have double tap, just not the auto rotate, which I really wanted.
 
Looks like Fab is setting to release a new version since V1.1 is out.

Here's a little wish list for Fab. :D

1. That Dro/NexTang theme is nice! Hopefully will see a TangBeast (or whatever) version. With a themed ADW launcher.
2. Modified MMS settings rebirth? I miss the LED color changer.
3. Not sure if this is possible but the new spare parts included in the new CM ROM is sweet too. I like that you can up the recently used app list to up to 12, I think.

I tried the new CM rom and it's okay but I'm partial to BB and Fab's work.
 
A question for you guys, which would you prefer?

The MMS app from last time, that completely works, but has no extra options...

Or, the modified MMS that works 99%, but FC's when you try to change LED color?

Both will do sms, mms, video mms, etc. just fine.

I'm waiting to flash 1.1 until your NexBeast is available, Fab. My vote is for the one that completely works! That's the one I'm using now.

im confused.. I thought the last mms.apk was the one with broken video playback..? which are these if none of these are those?

I remember the stock mms.apk, which is the first you listed, i think

and the second one was the one with broken playback...?

Are saying that it only fc's one time after every LED change? I only change my LED once and that's it so if it's a one time thing, then I would go for the modified MMS app.
 
Just a thought, I really have no idea how much goes into this kind of stuff. Is it possible to build the ROM with the stable non led and then put a link to download the other MMS with led and run a script to switch similar to the launcher?
 
Ok, I got this figured out.

The Mms that I will include has working notification settings, led color selection, etc. The only issue is that video MMS playback is kind of choppy. I think this will be ok for the majority of users.

Those that want perfect video MMS playback, I will include the other file that works for that (but with a broken LED color selector). The thing is, once you select a color with the included, original MMS, it will still carry over :D

I think this is win-win.
 
Fab - do you run the same scripts regarding CPU clock speed that Pete does? Since you are just theming his ROM, does this carry over?
 
Like Fab said, you don't NEED SetCPU (and many folks find that not using SetCPU results in cooler temps and longer battery life) because the pete script sets up the ondemand CPU scaling for the kernel you're using. You CAN use SetCPU if you wish, however (if, for instance, you wan't to clock down when charging or the like).

So, uh, does that mean we will need SetCPU to OC? :)

I beleive what he is saying is that if you don't want to use it you don't have to and the script Pete put will automatically OC. If you do want to use you still can so that you can setup profiles and control like you always have using setCPU. In the previous version Pete had a script that would kill setCPU at startup, he removed that script in 1.1.
 
Threads like these make me scared NOT to use SetCPU to overclock:

SetCPU Vs Petes V1.1 CPU script - Droid Forum - Verizon Droid & the Motorola Droid Forum

I'm glad that BB 1.1 isn't killing SetCPU. I am veeeeery much looking forward to NexBeast 1.1 as well :). I spent 5 minutes with Cyanogen and just found myself instantly pining to come back (and I did).

I'm seeing many people have issues installing the new ADW. I did too, and I'm reflashed yesterday and installed LauncherPro. Having customizable icons is a really nice feature that it was missing.... although I miss having 2+6 like in ADW.
