If you can repost your unanswered questions...I will try to help you out. As a Mod on this site now, I have less time available to provide "tech support" but I try to stay up on this thread as best as I can.

A lot of the old school Moto Droid guys have traded up for new phones and that trend will only continue. Everything works in cycles with these phones...even the people

Thank you so much!!! This is awesome all though I'm not trying to make this all about me...sorry if it seems that way but I am grateful to all!! These were the questions, I dont expect every one to be answered but however you can help me would be awesome! It's just hard when you first start out but I am picking up on this rather quickly...
I believe I sent you a PM but I'm not sure if you received it...could you check if you haven't at least so i'll know if I sent it properly? Thanks again UBRocked!!!

This is not meant in a negative way, my hope is that all things positive will come out of this...
Ok this has me a bit fired up not in an angry way but in a motivating way! When I woke up this afternoon (work nights) and I read these post I knew something has to be done!!! I am glad that LiQuID called us (me) all out on donations because he is absolutely correct as well as thaDroidz regarding how much time, energy, and effort LiQuID puts into these ROMs for all of us (me) to enjoy...and boy do I enjoy his ROMs!!!
Time is money and honestly it shouldn't take the developer informing all of us (me) what I already know...that I need to contribute and do my part in order to keep this going!
Now I, like many others here maybe new to this forum, brand new to LiQuID's ROMs, and brand new to flashing, installing, and setting up all these apps in order to get things working properly on my device but I am NOT new to knowing how to show my appreciation for the things I enjoy...I was taught this as a child!!! We are all benefiting from the creativity, hard work, and dedication of LiQuID with his FroZeN YoGurT ROMs and its time I started showing my token of gratitude even though I, like thaDroidz, does not know what a "good" donation is so I sent what I could which was $20 (FOR THIS RELEASE) and I also donated to Slayher for his hard work and dedication!
It is my belief that thaDroidz is absolutely correct with the 75% to 25% ratio on here and honestly I have been getting a little agitated with the response or lack there of when a question is asked these last few days...for me personally I have asked 3 maybe 4 questions because I really needed help and still do but have yet to get a response from anyone! I really want to send a big thanks to UBRocked and SigmunDroid for their detailed responses that helped start me off in the right direction and also thank you to javaman70, Rodeojones, and thaDroidz for all of you're incite and direction...I am so grateful all of you have helped me with my new addiction!! LOL
My rant is over thanks for listening and please lets help each other out on here especially LiQuID and Slayher because without them...well...no one would be reading this right now!!!
I'm open to any feedback...
Dude, I hear exactly what you're saying...
I still have yet to get a response for my signal issue...
Liquid and his team have made my Droid experience the best
it has EVER been! Nothing will change that statement.
Unfortunately the margins for profit are not proportional
to those attained from creating an original piece of work/software
and therein lies the issue.
Personally I feel that if the end user uses something
that a developer took time, effort, patience and dedication
to construct (not create) -then with ingenuity and creativity
build upon that stock ROM and add customizations the end user
will undoubtedly appreciate then I feel a donation *should* be
in order, however....
Should the expectation not be met in that
not enough money has been *given* then it should be
incumbent for Liquid and his team to curb the obviously expedited
work that they put out in seemingly record time to please
the Liquid customer base they have built through their hard work...
I remember when I *made* a custom soundset based on someone elses
basic sounds (hardware synthesizer) it would be a hard sell. I think when all was said and done...
(after spending almost a year of sound design) I had amassed
approximately only 50 buyers at $40.00 each.
The key is volume and unfortunately the modding community is
in the vast Minority when measured against the bulk of
Android OS users who do not know of rooting, roms and the like.
I'd like to give a HUGE Thank you!!! to the entire liquid team
because I have a phone now that is a pleasure to use and
when I need an app to load? It does so right away no matter
the condition.
If we could get one million rooted users
to donate a dollar to liquid? Well...

Absolutely, I totally agree that LiQuID and his team have made my mobile experience FUN, ENJOYABLE, and YES THE BEST ITS EVER BEEN!!! I wish I could have given him more to be quite honest...he hasn't seen the last of me I tell ya lol!!
And although the margins for profit aren't there which I doubt this is the reason he does what he does we still as a community in his sub-forum that use, smile, and say ahhhh with his CREATIVELY CONSTRUCTED ROM...we have to "help him, help us!" I love going over to my friends house and comparing devices...I wont do that with a stock ROM, my friend has one of those!
I wouldn't mind at all if he slowed down and let this version "melt in our hands" then surprise us with a new version in a month...some new "FroZeN YoGurT flavor of the Month Special" he serves up......
Thanks for responding!

Yeah, traitors! lol
I'm trying. I'm by no means an expert, especially when it comes to the very technical goings-on. But I have owned a Droid since Day 1, been rooted for quite some time now, and have made enough mistakes with this thing to realize how to lend a hand. But I want cookies!

Updating to a different version of Launcher Pro would "untheme" LP but should not affect system apps as those are are not controlled by LP.
What do your icons look like? Screenshots might help (drocap2 in the market works great for screenshots).
Afterthought: If you are talking about the default LP icons...they are probably not themed in the paid version of Launcher Pro. There are ways around this...but before I go there...I'd like to make sure that IS the problem.
Honestly, I haven't heard anyone talk about GDE in a while. I can recall one conversations where GDE was mentioned...but that's about it. I actually used GDE back in the day (November/December 2009) and it was decent...but LP and ADW have become the top aftermarket launchers and I wouldn't go to anything else. Can you get a demo in the market? I think some of the GDE themes in the market come with a "lite" version of ADW so you could try it out.
Make a backup before loading it as I don't know what it themes and what it doesn't.
Are you talking about the icons on the Launcher Pro Dock (by the app drawer)? If so, just long press the icon you want to change and click "Change Shortcut", then select "Applications" when the pop-up menu appears, then select the app you want in that dock position. When you select it, you will be prompted to use the default icon or the custom one. Use the default and it will match whatever the app icon is inside the app drawer. Make sense? If this is not the problem...let me know and I'll work on a different solution.
Being in the car dock, there are two screens. Swipe your finger from right to left when looking at the "Car Home" default screen. One of the three options will be screen brightness. THIS IS NOT THE SAME AS YOUR NORMAL SCREEN BRIGHTNESS SETTINGS. The three options are Day, Night, and Automatic. Auto simply switches between the Day and Night brightness mode (based on the phone's sensor) and I too find it too DIM when on Night mode unless I am completely in the dark. Change your setting to "Day" and you should be fine.

If you PM'd me, I might have looked at the Forum and seen that someone else had posted the answer (or what I perceived to be the answer) and disregarded your message (if so I apologize). In the future, please continue to post your questions in the forums. PM's are nice but the answers you get will typically only help you (unless you share that knowledge with others). Now the answers may help someone else as well.
After working on coming up with responses to your questions here...I imagine that part of the problem with ppl not responding is that the questions are a bit confusing. I had to re-read the questions a few times. Screenshots are good for times where it may be hard to describe what you are seeing (and helps with people using different terminology). What you might see are icons that are messed up, while I would call them LP dock icons, and others might call them shortcuts. A simple picture eliminates confusion and makes answering the question easier.
I was an Android noobie a year ago so I know what it's like for people to talk circles around you. If you don't understand something...ask. Don't be afraid to make a backup and then experiment with changing settings, testing apps, etc. If you screw something up...just revert to your backup.
Hopefully this post helps you.
Ok, I just rooted my phone last night and am already on my second rom, I did UD 8.0 at first and didn't really like it because of the phone dialer. I am having a similar problem with this rom, too that just turns me off.
I can't get the tool bar at the top of the screen to stay there when im just looking around my home page. The tool bar with time and battery. It's pissing me off because if I drag down, the updates page comes, but it doesn't bring the tool bar back. Anyone have any input as to something I might be able to change?
FYI, I am DLing the watermark'd theme as we speak, think that'll make it come back?

the slayer donation kept resetting telling me to enter a value greater than 0. At first I knew I entered so I did it again. Same message.. I will try in a few days.
jbulluck any info I give out is from what I have learned here, I try to refrain from the more technical topics.. LMFAO
just passing along the knowledge of the Jedi..
hoping one day I will master and harness the powers myself.

I use Zeam Launcher and it has a "full screen option" it makes the task bar at top disappear like you were describing.
Not sure what home launcher you have but it sounds like that option was check off..

LMAO...thats awesome! Thanks
All I did when I donated was enter in the total amount I could give ex. if I wanted to give $10, I just entered into the box 10 and click "update total"...worked fine for me and I just tried it again and it seems to be working...not sure if this helps you any but it worked for me!

I should have put this all in one reply sorry folks..
This thread and the other LYF rom releases tend to get multiple pages deep and actually it's hard to tell some times what question got asked and whither or not it got an answer.
Would it be better for the problems/questions post to be started as a new thread under liquid0624 - Android Forums ?
Just keep the realeases stickied at the top.
Just sumfin I been noticing.

the liquid one worked, just the slayher kept defaulting back to 0. Maybe I was being to cheap on Slayher and that's his way of bumping up the anty...
EDIT: sum bitch that's what it was, I raised it a few dollars and it work..
LMFAO maybe just coincidence..
Crap I forgot to add message to the invoice... yeah the blank check was from me Slayher...

Love this ROM! Its perfect! Runs so smooth with launcherpro. Just got it all hooked up last night with the galaxy s theme and a 1.25 slayher kernel! No problems so far. The only thing is I wish Gmail and the Market weren't black on the galaxy s theme. That's the only thing. Besides that, I'm straight!
Thanks Liquid!

Yes you are correct with the LPPlus icons and it makes sense that it would "untheme" LPPlus after thinking about it! Its just this ROM runs so smooth its like taking it out of the box and unwrapping it!!! I honestly had a brain fart not realizing I'm working with a themed ROM so makes perfect sense now...I know i'll be looking for a fix tonight! Screenshots of before and after are attached.

WOW didnt realize GDE was that old...where the heck have I been? Ok so I was thinking of removing the ADW Launcher (not a big fan) and then use GDE as one of my launchers along with LPPlus, just like I have the option with LPPlus and ADW now...this is possible yes? I will look for it in the market!

Yes I am talking about the icons on the dock but I was asking a different question than answered, no biggie, my bad for not explaining myself properly! This question coincides with the other post I referred to by gotwillk...I'm asking if his solution to the Google Search would correct my issue with the LPPlus icons that are now grayed do to the update but now I get that once I update then its unthemed so his solution will not fix my issue im thinking...

[/QUOTE]Well I have done some searching and found that its actually a defect in 2.2 Stock ROMs according to whats in these post but I have since found a fix for this (see post # 9 in link)...you can tell by my excitement in that post that I had really felt like I was the man for a minute LOL!

Thank you for you're help UBRocked!!! I will try and do better on my explanations of what I am talking about too! Hopefully some other NooBs will be able to see this entire page used up by me (sorry guys/girls) and get some answers to their questions as well!

Here...try this GSFYv1.6_Stock_Gmail_&_Market.zip
This is how I made that file:
- You just take the Galaxy S theme and open it with WinRAR or 7-zip (open it...do NOT unzip it).
- Navigate to system > app
- Delete everything in that directory
- Open LFY 1.6 the same way.
- Navigate to system > app
- Select the apk's that you want to move over to the theme (in this case I moved gmail.apk and vending.apk)
- Copy those over to the Galaxy S theme (just drag and drop in the same screen you were in when you deleted all the apk's).
- Close the application windows (WinRAR or 7-zip)
- Put the "new" theme on your sdcard and flash like you normally would
Enjoy

The "grayed" icons are LauncherPro icons. If you long press on the icons in the dock, you can change to use the default icon (the icon as it appears in your app drawer), the grayed LauncherPro icons, or a custom icon. You can download icons from various places to assign whereever you feel necessary. I highly recommend going to LauncherPro's website and perusing the forums there, as there's links to lots of diff places where you can find icons. Also, they have a lot of dock options (almost too many..lol).
Here's a link to that site:

Chances are that you are using ADW Launcher. Just use a swipe motion on any clear part of the screen for it to appear/disapear

I may have this one, although it slows the overall set up process down a bit.
- Install ROM, let it install all apps on its own, or else just kill that and restore apps only using TiBu.
- Reboot phone
- Use TiBu to now restore settings
- Reboot phone.
YMMV, but this time around when restoring my backup I used this method an all my widgets were back as of the second reboot....
And, yeah, Swype is so much of a PITA - it worked on the last three ROMs without a problem, so when it b0rked on this one I was miffed a bit - but I realize that it could be any one of my 170+ apps installed, so...
that is interesting - have you tried wiping caches every other day and seeing if that helps? That is the first thing that comes to mind when it comes to periodic failure like that, as the caches are the one thing that start going not so well with our phones.
Another thing is the number of SMS stored in memory - I had gotten up to 500, and while I couldn't say it was a bad thing directly, I did notice improved phone responsiveness after using SMS Backup and Restore to back them up and then delete them all...
Migrating to GV also has helped, except that not everyone know to use my GV number instead of my reg cell number lol....
All good bro - we both made mistakes - but at least we kept hour heads about it and explained ourselves.

Dude.. FREAKIN' WOW! Thats all? Thanks a billion dude. that dark market and gmail were starting to erk me this afternoon. Now i can use my market widget again. Now i can officially say this ROM iiiisss... PERFECT!
thanks again dude!
EDIT: LoL, oh yeah, nice pic and signature!
Just wanted to add kudos for this rom. Much smoother for me than 1.5. Really happy. I'm running unthemed with default kernel and LauncherPro added back on. My hubby is running unrooted 2.2(latest release) and he's unhappy. I'm trying to talk him into letting me root him!
Also I believe in supporting the developers! Thanks are great but sometimes you gotta "say it with cash."

Can anyone tell me how to do those mods where you can block adds and turn off the camera sound? I tried using the terminal emulator but they didn't work. did a reboot too and still no go. Also can anyone answer why when you download and install the smoked theme you get the watermark wallpaper and not the smoked wallpaper? Love the rom other wise. Thanks for all the help.
