Root [ROM][WIP] BACKside ROM (CM7) + Green Machine Theme

Darn it. My market is starting to come up with the package file is invalid error on certain apps. It was working for a while thanks to Michael123's post which uses terminal emulator and the following script:

su
# cd /cache
# mv download download.old
# mkdir -p /sdcard/cache/download
# ln -s /sdcard/cache/download download

Not really sure what else to do. I'd love to know that I can use that extra 80mb I have.

One more time, I offer the solution of TitaniumBackup to solve the Market insufficient space error.
1- Use the Integrate dalvik into system option (under menu--more).
Note- you must undo dalvik integration before flashing an updated ROM!
2- Determine which apps you use less than once a week, back them up with TB, then uninstall them till needed (this gives your virtually unlimited storage space, with a once a week or so pita of having to restore a needed app). ;)

I also HIGHLY suggest people start complaining to Google and the Market about these issues, since it occurs on many phones, not just the OV.

@ Germitty and norwoodsteel:

I want to apologize for my post #2636, I was confused and didn't realize all the posts related to your discussion. Please accept my apology, I didn't intend to be rude. I myself am one of the biggest offenders when it comes to posting something outside the thread's subject matter. I was wrong to chastise you for helping each other out!

AndyOpie let me know I misunderstood what was going on, thanks Andy! ;)

Hi,
Thank you Jerry. I couldn't find the threads specifically that I was asking about, but I have managed to figure out how to remove the bloatware and how to move apps to SD. I am experimenting with the freeze function in link2sd since the free version of Titanium won't freeze. I think it will keep apps from starting automatically thus reducing cpu demand which increases speed and battery life. I've turned almost all programs off in XP until I want them which has made XP run very fast and extremely stable (its been several months since a reboot). Everything has a learning curve. Here I go again veering of the subject...sorry

BACKside-IHO-VM670-01102012, upgraded from BACKside-IHO-VM670-12212011, cache and dalvik cache wiped before upgrade.
No additional themes.
Phone powered ON when charging.

I notice that after my upgrade to the BACKside build above my OV screen never completely blanks when charging. With 12212011 it used to come on full brightness when charger attached, and then go blank after a minute.

Now it comes on to full brightness as before, but only drops back to "dim" mode. The lock screen is still clearly visible, albeit dimmer. It never blanks.

Is screen "burn in" an issue with these phones?
 
My phone does go black during charging, strange that yours never does.

No worries though, screen burn in is pretty much non-existent in modern displays. I'm pretty sure it only affected CRT displays. ;)

Why is this? I didn't do this when I updated, and I haven't noticed any problems.

Help,

Is anyone running BACKside-IHO-VM670-01102012 and gapps-gb-20110828-signed and using the Square Up credit card app? After installing this ROM and gapps, I can't get Square Up to read a credit card. Square Up starts like it should and recognises the reader when it is plugged into the headphone jack like it should, but does not read credit cards. When I swipe a card, it does nothing. When I use the orig Froyo 2.2.2 that is rooted and heavily tweeked (most everything is moved to SD or removed or frozen), it works fine: vibrates as it reads. I haven't done any tweeking on CM7 except turned key press sounds and haptic feedback off. Any ideas out there?

Thanks,
Gerald

I assume that reader uses the headset mic (don't know how else it would work). Unfortunately, the headset mic is a known issue with IHO atm. We are working on it, but don't have it 100% yet.

Hi Jerry,
Thank you for your quick reply. I really like the Backside ROM, but for now I will have to try something else. I see there is only a couple other ROMs not based on IHO like BobZhome's CM7.2.0 RC0-BobZ and Leslie Ann's Harmonia v.2.03. The gapps I used with the Backside ROM, will it work on Harmonia or is there one just for it like CM7.2.0 RC0-BobZ uses gapps-gb-20110613-BobZhome-v2? Or are both compatable with the gapps I used with Backside?
I know you are real busy, but is there some way you can let me know when the mic issue is fixed? I tried CM7.2.0 RC0-BobZ before getting Backside to work and just didn't care for the interface.
Also, how do you add your own ring tones in Backside or others?
Thanks,
Gerald
 
BobZhome and Harmonia are both also based on IHO. I don't know of any Gingerbread based ROM that has a working headset mic 100%. If you need to use that appliance, you will probably have to revert to a Froyo based ROM for now. I would recommend Bumblebee.

Once we have the headset mic issues worked out, we will post the details here.

Actually Corsair is a blue theme I'd done up by request. I'll have to update it, when Peanut takes a nap later today.

I've looked at a bunch of blue themes and it would have to be Green Machine 100% except for the color for me to change (I love the status bar charge icon and the swirl when it is thinking). I really like GMT a lot and am only considering a swap for the colors.

Hi Jerry,
Thank you very much for your time, expertise and the reccomendation. I installed BumbleBee and the Square Up app works like it should plus I am able to do a lot of tweeking the phone to suit me.
I will keep watch for Backside updates as I do prefer the feel of it.
Thanks,
Gerald
