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

Just to let people know instagrams built in camera app crashes the camera but so does any camera app I've tried other than the native. All you have to do is reboot and everything is aok

Well never got flixster working but, directv updated there app and now you can stream movies and shows from any of the big name movie channels you subscribe and since I subscribe to all I am happy it works flawless on backside and linked with link2sd. :D

I don't see the point in adding a root checker to make an app not work....I think they would be losing money.......
 
I've never had a problem with my camera working with any app I've tried (well, except on Quattrimus...)
Paper camera, camera FX, etc, all work fine for me.
 
Hi Jerry:

Loving the ROM, but I wanted to let you know something weird I've been experiencing. I travel a lot and am switching timezones all the time. I've noticed something weird. I use the Sense-style clock and I notice that when I come out of airplane mode, the Sense clock updates the time, but the status bar clock does not. So I go to options and restart the status bar.

I also recently started running Watchdog Lite again, and after restarting the status bar I immediately get a warning about 'Android Core (Home Screen)' taking up too much CPU. I clear the warning but it just comes back until I reboot the phone. Before this my battery was getting slaughtered, which is why I reinstalled Watchdog Lite.

After a reboot everything is fine, but it's a weirdo thing I thought I'd ask about.

Running latest build, The blues theme. Clean wipe install. Screenshot attached.

Thanks again for all you do Jerry, you've made my phone fun again

Couple of noob questions:
1) Just downloaded the CWM Green Recovery to my SD card. How do I apply it? It is install Zip from SD card like I do to get new builds? If yes, I assume I wipe cache and dalvik like normal?
2) I also recently did the partition of my SD card using MacFelt's tutorial and did the Link2SD deal, but I might have read a couple pages back that when I flash a new build of Backside, I might have to do a few more steps because of this. Can someone map that out for me?

Thanks in advance!

To answer the first part of your question:

If you already have backside, download the recovery here.
Put it on your sd card.

If you are running BACKside-IHO on your phone:
1--Open the BacksideUpdater
2--Press the menu key and select Install A Recovery
3- choose the file. Reboot and enjoy. =]

Basically, do it the same way you installed a recovery before. backside updater makes it easier though. Even easier the next time we get updates, rom updates will happen all for us without us doing a thing in recovery and such.

Look at the tutorial in my signature for the second part. It has pictures :D
 
All CM based ROMs including BACKside have init.d support built in, so that's a red herring, sorry. I haven't looked at the script yet, does it's name conflict with any of the scripts already in /ect/init.d? (there are 8 in a default build of BACKside)
 
Yeah I know what you mean. Might have to move backside updater around on the screen a little or I may wear a spot in the screen.. :D

There are two scripts in /etc/init.d in the zip file, neither of them conflicts with an existing script. I'm still digging....

::edit:: Might the kernel have something to do with it?
 
It is synced to Google so once you've downloaded the apps you will be resynced. As for texts you'll want to back those up with an app if you want to save those.
 
Okay, but what about apps like Poynt, WHERE, the Virgin Mobile apps, Google Talk?
Gallery photos?
I'm quite worried.
 
Your photos are on your card Google apps will resync. Where and poynt are junk no longer being supported even but you can get them from the market.

How do you figure?? I use Poynt almost every day and it works good. In fact it's the only VM app I kept cause it works well for what it's for.

do you have a better suggestion, I'm always open to new apps?

Poynt is widely considered bloatware by most. There are relatively few users to whom it's useful, such as yourself. Most people dislike the way you can't exit out of the app, even when it isn't in use. It's always running in the background, no matter what you do. That's certainly a deal breaker for me.
 
Sorry, this is a noob question. Just wondering what the radio refers too when speaking of VM having a new radio update. What does the new update do? Is it worth flashing the original VM Rom and updating the radio?
