Yeah, mine was going gray too but I have also just got back home after a bit of traveling so I wasn't sure if it was the places I was going or anything. I keep getting a server time out on the market app as well, or I have to open and close an app to get the data to kick in sometimes.

The bars being grey means that you are not syncing with the Google servers. Either your data/wifi is not connecting to the internet, or there is some other issue with your google account syncing. Most of the time it is not connecting correctly, but sometimes it is something weird with your account not syncing for some reason.

Some really good info in this thread. Glad to see development moving forward (it's not as dire as I thought). Did anything useful ever come out of andro-id? Seems like that would have been a goldmine. Would love to see someone pick up on miui development again... so we could get that useful capacitive button fix in...

Being that they use simular kernels, wouldn't matera's kernel work?
I just saw that MIUI just got a new kernel.

Can you add the option to change the carrier label text? Thanks for this great rom.

Just thought I'd update that my capacitive buttons are still unresponsive at times

Mantera's next kernels will have my touchscreen re-write.
Unless it's already coded by someone else out there, I'm not going to spend any time making this feature from scratch.
Yeah I noticed it too, maybe slightly less often than before. I guess this elusive bug is still out there.

For what it's worth, I can reliably fix an unresponsive capacitive button (usually menu or home) by rotating the phone into landscape mode and then back to portrait.
Rotating and then rotating back also fixes the occasional keyboard screw-up with Swype.

Nice, for the buttons I hit the power button to turn the screen off and then back on again and they work. but rotating sounds better.

I just keep hitting the button repeatedly and it unlocks in about 5 seconds or so...
For those who want to experiment. you can edit the /system/etc/media_profiles.xml file to try different video/audio codec and bitrates, rebooting makes it into effect. Be sure to keep a nandroid backup handy, in case it messes up the phone (I've done it already so it's possible). Let me know if you find something that works well and I'll include it in next version as default.

I pull down my notification bar (so long as its not in a game or some app that doesn't show it) and it usually fixes it...
Nice.

It's a simple change in the framework-res.apk. But it has to be specific to the version of that your ROM has or it will mess things up.
After typing that I realized they were asking for coding in the ROM to make it changeable from there (completely different than what I wrote). That would be too much work for how simple it is to change anyway. There are posts about it in the forum here and instructions in a couple places.
As an alternative maybe you could (or someone else if you don't want to) post some popular ones people want in a flashable zip. Either in your ROM thread or a companion one just for the zips.

Actually, there's an easier way. I've tested this with the latest version of this ROM and it works fine for me. You'll need some way to edit text files as root (I use File Expert), but it's really simple after that. Create a file called eri.xml in /data with the following contents:
Code:
<EriFile VersionNumber="1357" NumberOfEriEntries="2" EriFileType="1">
<CallPromptId Id="0" CallPromptText="CallPromptId0"/>
<CallPromptId Id="1" CallPromptText="CallPromptId1"/>
<CallPromptId Id="2" CallPromptText="CallPromptId2"/>
<EriInfo RoamingIndicator="1" IconIndex="1" IconMode="0" EriText="CARRIER_NAME_HERE" CallPromptId="0" AlertId="0"/>
<EriInfo RoamingIndicator="99" IconIndex="1" IconMode="0" EriText="CARRIER_NAME_HERE" CallPromptId="0" AlertId="0"/>
</EriFile>Replace CARRIER_NAME_HERE with whatever you want the carrier text to be. Toggle Airplane Mode and your carrier name should be changed!

Yes, that does the same thing.
There is a lot more to the original eri.xml file though. Does your way overwrite the whole thing, or just adjust those parts?Neither way is that difficult though. Glad you pointed this out.

It seems to just overwrite the relevant parts, but it's hard to tell. I've never seen my phone show anything else, really. It still shows No Service fine, but I don't remember if that's in eri.xml or not. Any way I could test what it's doing exactly?
agentc13
Daleks Über Alles
You could pull the framework-res.apk and decompile it after to see if it changed the eri.xml to just what you added, or if it changed the relevant parts. It seems like you said that it probably just changes it, which is cool.

This seems like a common problem for new people so I updated OP to include the gapps link. In your case you'll need to re-wipe, and reflash the ROM, then flash one of the gapps.zip files before booting into the ROM for the first time.
In other news, I got my build env working again last night, the next version should be this weekend (I'm testing it out now). From Cyanogenmod, it has new RingLock feature and external BT GPS dongle support (haven't tried it). And disable bootanimation is working now (so don't start cursing up a storm like I did if you have that enabled and the first boot stays on a blank screen for a long time, it's rebuilding the cache and could take a while if you have lots of apps installed)
It doesn't change anything in framework-res.apk. It just seems to use it instead of what's in the framework-res.apk file.
