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

The only thing that doesn't work on bluetooth is file transfer between phones.

For contact lists, check your settings. I'm sorry I can't be more specific, I don't use my car's features the same as you.

You can email attachments almost as fast as bluetooth file transfers. ;)
 
In fact, all IHO roms are now 7.2 RC1 ;)

BTW- I've started to make a few videos to help people learn to get the most out of BACKside. I started out with the customization elements. I plan on adding more technical ones as well. Here is the customization playlist so far:
Note - the forums hijack youtube links into the player, trying to figure out how to post just the link

Thanks for fixing my video link Andy! :)

Does anyone else on this forum use the bluetooth capabilities of a car? Previously to flashing the ROM, I never had problems pairing my phone with my car and accessing the address book. It's as if my car no longer has access to my contact list.

I'm not sure what settings would allows this on the phone. I never had to change any settings with the stock phone.

I figured it out. It appears to be a Froyo feature. To allow access to the contact list, you have to go into Contacts and click the "menu" button. From there, click "Import/Export contacts" and then click on "Share visible contacts". From there, you choose what you want to share it with (I chose my car). Once your car attempts to retrieve the contacts, the phone will ask if you like to grant access to the car.

Google can be your friend sometimes (found it in this post: Android > Bluetooth contacts sync - Solved - Kia Forum )
 
Sorry for starting a thread on something that was stated in your giant op lol:) but how do you get the green theam where do I enable it or do I need to flash it old school.
 
I've got a question.
My sister just switched to Virgin and got the LG Optimus V.
She asked me about a voice recorder. I said I'm pretty sure the stock one had it.
I thought I used it before by pressing the button above the camera button. Pressing it on the BACKside ROM does nothing. Is it broke, a setting needing changed, or just remembering something of the wall....

It's called Sound Recorder, located in the app drawer, a red mic with a red disk around it. Just tested to be sure it's working, and had no problems recording my rendition of "So long and thanks for all the fish!" ;)

I did find the sound recorder in the app drawer and used it yesterday. I should have made the question a little clearer.
The button above the camera, IIRC on the stock ROM, would open up the Sound Recorder when pressed. With the BACKside ROM this button did nothing on my phone.
Does anyone else recall if on the stock that buttoned opened the Sound Recorder app (will have to double check with my sister)?
Can that be fixed in BACKside if that is what that button used to do?
 
Had no issue pairing to my Kia bluetooth computer, the phone had a popup actually asking if it was ok to send contact info to the car. That bluetooth system is Microsoft, so maybe some bluetooth car computers are different acting and need you to do more manually like you said you had to do.


For overall phone with this latest build I get about 16 hours on a charge based on last night me sleeping with zero use. With stock rom I got about 2-3 days on a charge, this was with wifi and bluetooth on all the time. When I woke up this morning after full charge last night it was at like 48% battery. Phone said the cellular and bluetooth both shared the most of the battery use. Wifi was notable in use. Is this just a negative of 2.3 versus 2.2 from what I was on previously? I used to have wifi bluetooth both on all the time.
Maybe its words with friends and facebook though as I didn't have those before (not enough room til now)

Barcode Scanner app crashes the actual camera device after scanning a barcode, but only in bulk scan mode. Bummer I liked that app but I guess I can do non bulk mode now.
 
This is actually something I'm working on, but it takes modifying so many files, it's very easy to bork. The issue is with finding the correct button mapping code. Unfortunately, we have to use the stock keyboard bin file, and it's not easily decompiled. So it's a detective's search and guessing game as to the correct mapping.

I'm not giving up, but don't expect anything soon. Here's a partial list of the files affected:
KeyCharacterMap.java
KeyEvent.java
KeycodeLabels.h
QwertyListener.java
keycodes.h
APNKeyCodes.h
ShortcutManager.java
attr.xml
System()
 
Maybe it'll be easier to build a custom service to run in background and monitor for that 216 key code pressed and execute user configurable action?!?!
 
Tried to find and install zip from sd card for the new touch recovery but it's not a zip so it doesn't show up does any one have an install direction for it and I like flash image GUI I imagine I need to rename in revoveryv.img but wanted to hear a little feed back if you gota clue let me know I just don't like renaming things and trying to flash image them?

Recovery files do not come in zip format, they are in img format.

You place the recovery.img file on your sdcard, open terminal and type this:
Code: 
su
flash_image recovery /sdcard/NAME_OF_RECOVERY_FILE_HERE
Once it finishes (about 20 seconds), your new recovery is installed. ;)

If the recovery file says it's a txt file, then you probably downloaded it on your phone. Often, downloads that don't start immediately are changed to .txt extension to make the download work. Just change the extension, then check the md5sum, then follow my directions above. ;)
