I don't understand. You said "here's a look " but I'm not seeing any links or photos to look at???
Edit: this post was originally made from my Ally. On its screen, in Opera Mobile browser, I did not see that the word "Here" is a hyperlink. Actually, it is barely visible as such even on my PC using Firefox 4. When I still couldn't figure out where the thing was you were showing us, I hovered the mouse over each word in your sentence, and doing that picked up the hyperlink.

New Velocity 1.2 looks very nice, however, the battery icon no longer seems to display number percentages.

It's embedded.. here's the link since you couldn't find it:
Velocity V1.2 First Look - Imgur
Oh, it will
Sure it does! I had to tether to the computer to take the screen shots, though. So of course the percentage wouldn't show while connected to the computer.

1.2 looks great. I love the new battery icon...1.1 version is a bit hard to read. And ADW on board?! nice.
As for the Google patch that someone mentioned, I read something today that suggested the "patch" is actually being done on the server side, not to the phone OS...anyone confirm this?

Thanks for clarifying, Trident. As mentioned in my edited post, I couldn't see the link from the Ally. 1.2 looks nice! Kudos!
Not sure if anyone's responded to this yet but try the protected Apps thread I started last week in ally-all things root. Try the build.prop sdkversion edit I noted to show apparently that aren't compatible with versions of android higher than 2.2.
It's hard to share links with the phandroid app, ill post it once I'm at my pc tomorrow.
Here's a first look at Velocity V1.2
SICK! You guys work your ass off, I'll be donating again for sure. Thanks to all of the devs for listening to our feedback and most importantly fixing problems on the fly!

Thanks Trident for letting us know the numbers will still be there in the battery icon. I'm quite excited, as I've been following Velocity for quite some time. You guys really make the Ally the best phone I've ever handled. You devs are the best.

I was reading an article about it earlier, saying that it was patched in 2.3.4, so I am assuming that this implies that it is client-side, not server-side. Additionally, I read that Google is annoyed that phone companies and phone manufacturers are taking so long to patch software, that they are going to start working to expedite manufacturer patching procedures (thank god for that)
The Vel1.2 preview looks great. Has there been any development to make terminal emulator functional as a normal application (with shortcuts on the desktop) because it's inclusion in the toolkit kinda neutered the app outside of the toolkit, IMO.
I love the script's options for changing anims, themes and other options. Really great for making someone's phone, their own. Keep up the great work, devs.

hi, i am a newbie to custom roms, and it even took me over 3 months to figure out how to root my ally, but then after a lucky try got it on the first attempt. any way... i installed velocity (before had 2.2.2 on my ally). followed all the instructions (backing up and installing rom manager, etc). on first boot after installation got stuck on the velocity (vertical) screen, freaked out but finally got it to work after reflashing. now i seem to be running into these issues: music stops playing while listening, or the volume is all jacked and keeps going all the way down (to combat this i have installed a smart volume free which lets me lock the media volume at the desired level), also i get fc with many apps i have installed, im not sure if its cuz i changed my default install location to sdcard, but even have tried changing it back to auto and reinstalled the app and still having the problem with fc. also battery seems to be draining even faster than before i installed velocity... not sure if its cuz i am oc at 729MHz interactive gov. other than these issues i have to say BRAVO! LOVE VELOCITY! props to the devs!

You're right and I apologize for not thinking about it. Can you please delete my post and I will repost in a more appropriate thread/forum?

Surely, I'm going to delete all of the off topic stuffs. Thanks for your cooperation!

That is pretty awesome and should feel very gratifying.
Has anyone had the phone status stay "charging" after unplugging. My ally does this 8 of 10 times and it takes a restart to clear it.
Also if I use the flashlight app, the LED indicator keeps flashing red/blue/green until I restart.
Any ideas?
I have cleared and reflashed 3 times. Only thing I haven't done is completely format the SD card.

I've had that problem with the charging status, I never found a fix, but it doesn't bother me too much, and with the flashlight app you must open the app, and hit the back button for it to turn off. hope this helps!
