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

What a great update. Thanks for sharing with the community JerryScript.
Used the Backside Updater without incident to update the ROM.

Since I've read people having trouble with their WIFI and I did too at first I'll post this info. I did have trouble with connecting to my WIFI. What worked for me was to delete my WIFI network and "ADD" it fresh. Connects to network without a problem after that.

Updated my Blue Marble Theme for the 1/25/2012 Build (Follow link in signature)
 
OK all you themers, I've got a new job for you: bootanimations!

This weeks build will include a built in bootanimation changer, with preview and reset to default functions! I'll be posting links to lists of bootanimations, and instructions for making your own.

There's also some change to the updater, improved gui, and ability to check the md5 sum of any file against the posted manifest value. ;)
 
Hey Jerry, got another ocd did i do something wrong or maybe a bad flash question for you. I'm seeing a quick glimpse of the old IHO cyanogenmod 7.2 screen right after the BACKside screen. It just kind of pops up and fades out right before the green boot animation.

Is this normal? Anyone else notice this?
 
Anyone else having trouble with Gmail since the update? Seems to be the only problem I am having. Gmail will not open (stopped unexpetedly). Keep getting the Force Close Dialog. Anyone else having this problem?

All is well. Uninstalled, cleared all history files, re-installed, BINGO!

Move along nothing to see here.
 
Is there a way to disable the screen rotation animations? The new build is running really snappy for me, except the screen rotation seems much slower. It looks choppy and it takes noticeably longer for the screen to rotate.

What you are seeing is the begining of the bootanimation. A couple of months ago, I overlayed the part0 portion of the particle bootanimation over the IHO logo image. My goal was to make a smoother transition from the image to the bootanimation (never got around to making it truly smooth).

This weeks build will have a bootanimation chooser, so you can change it on the fly. ;)
 
ooh a boot animation chooser.. now that sounds fun. :-D
this rom is just getting better and better.
now if only the mic could work with headphones plugged /hinthint /nudgenudge :-P

It does work no problem,
Or do you mean the phones Mic? That would be nice but I can see allot of issues popping up from trying to make that work and headset mic working.
 
I'm a bit confused here. The mic does work with headsets that have a microphone, it picks up sound from the headphone's mic, and if you push speaker phone it uses the phone's mic.

I just tested to be sure, using the stock LG headset that came with the OV. ;)

What we are working on, and not having much luck yet, is getting headsets without mics to work with the phone's mic without having to use speaker phone. That and I'm looking into fixing the issue with credit card readers as well (that looks fixable at least).

that's what I was referring to. being able to use a regular set of headphones (with no mic) while listening to music and take a call without having to use speakerphone..
but that one little bug compared to the entire awesomeness of this rom is very insignificant . I was mainly just trying to see if there was any progress
 
Hi my name is AndyOpie150 and I'm a ROM flashing addict.
Take it from one who has flahed most everything for the V.

BACKside be berry berry good.

Speaking of being a flash junkie. Due to my impatience I have been trying to flash Bob's 3.7 kernel. Got data2ext set up and installed apps. After trying to theme with Metamorph (which has not caused me trouble in the past) something got messed up in the process after the reboot. I have a feeling something went wrong with the data2ext partition since all the apps I installed started force closing after reboot.

Must... have... new... kernel!!!

>.<
 
Hey Jerry, how comparable to compiling a kernel for linux is it? I've always cooked up custom kernels for Slackware, and wondered how different it is for Android?
