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

[Prometheus_]

I have no gps issues, just saying. Perhaps it's an area thing?

It takes a little bit sometimes.

Whoa... I just encountered this weird problem.. I tried turning on Airplane Mode and it automatically turned on my wifi? It's like doing the opposite of airplane mode. I'm running on the most recent build. Anyone encounter this problem before?

EDIT: Had to reboot twice and it fixed itself nvm xD

 

[djthebogan]

I think that's the way its supposed to be. When I turn airplane mode on it turns off wifi, bit u just turn the wifi back on and its ok. No need to reboot.

does BACKside support Loop devices?
Trying to install/run Ubuntu following this: Run Linux on your Android Phone (The Easy Way) - YouTube

 

[yogi-4]

It looks like Ubuntu is running over top the ROM. So basically two operating systems running at the same time. I think it could be done on our phone... just wouldn't be worth it performance wise. Now if we could dual boot this then Holy Macerall!! But very interesting to check out though!!

 

[benslgdroid]

That's pretty sweet. May check it out sometime.

 

[nitestalkr]

I'm sure it could be done, although I think that you can't have a partition on the SD, or apps on the SD (including link2sd), cause I keep running into an error that mentions having apps on the SD, and having over a certain amount of apps..
I will try to find one of my other SD cards, and retry sometime after the next BACKside build is released.

loop image works, but you can also run debian or older ubuntu from an ext partition (if you use a 3rd partition, /sd-ext works the same as expected for the move-app-to-sd-ext tweaks.)
I think the partition method is faster than the loop image. But you have to install differently, can't use the app to do it for you.
you can either take the long way around with debootstrap or some other rootfs generation tool, or download an existing filesystem tar and use that. I've got one on xda in the optimus v dev section if you're interested. Not the first post in the debian on optimus thread, but several down from the OP.
some relatively recent version of ubuntu dropped support for armv6; ubuntu wiki says the current version is armv7 and newer. so, no fresh ubuntu for the optimus!
debian stable and unstable work fine on armv6, though. ubuntu is bloated even worse than debian anyway, and you can run programs cross-platform between them, so no big deal there. if you want debian to look like ubuntu, just use the 1GB+ gnome desktop manager.

I've been having a problem recently with the clock on both the green theme notification bar and beautiful widgets being around 5 minutes slower than the actual time when I turn on my phone. The problem usually corrects itself within a few minutes of having the phone on. However, I would like the time to be correct when I turn on the phone.

Does anyone know how to resolve this?

Mine was doing the same thing. It happened after i took the battery out. I had to connect to the 3g network for it to self correct. It wouldn't do this through the WIFI connection.

 

[OmensEdge]

I was able to correct this by flashing the new BackSIDE vanilla theme over Green Machine. I'm not sure exactly how it fixed the problem.

 

[djthebogan]

it seems it could have also been a temporary problem with VM. A lot of users running stock also have encountered the same problem.

New build is up:

BACKside-IHO-VM670-11012011.zip
md5 checksum 7c699aef1229147ef038aa6a3b283689

GreenMachineTheme-11012011.zip

Changes:
-added option to set the status bar clock color in CyanogenMod Settings
-option to remove battery icon from status bar
-show share menu when taking screenshots from power menu
-several fixes to stagefright to improve video
-fixes to audiopolicymanager (hopefully improves lots of things, we will see)
-surfaceflinger tweaks should improve screen drawing
-fixed a wifi lock bug that caused releases when it should be locked
-lockscreen calendar now supports all day events
-quiet hours can now silence haptic feedback
-separate volume settings for when headset is plugged in and when it isn't

Note- Due to changes in both frameworks-res and SystemUI, all themes will have to be rebuilt

Thanks to the CyanogenMod team, Blarf, BobZhome, mrg666, Whyzor, asadullah, and kermkalelite!

Note- Status bar clock color change has a slight bug, changes to color will only take place if you change another setting, such as show, center, or ampm. The default for this build is set to green to make it stand out, but I will set it to the standard color for the next build.

 

[djthebogan]

just flashed 11.1 with my new theme. I like the update, only problem was with the clock at first, had to play with it a bit, but now its good.

 

[nikpmr]

Love the addition of a calendar notification to the lockscreen. Is a temperature nofication in the works? If not it should be!

 

[a5pe4]

^ Temperature notification would totally be something I'd like also!

 

[JerryScript]

The only temperature sensor on the OV is the battery temp. Otherwise, you'll need an app for that.

 

[nitestalkr]

i wont be able to flash till i fix my broken root..

That's exactly what I want! I'd like to be able to see when the battery is heating up without going to spare parts

 

[drfreeman]

What about themes that aren't flashed? I use the ICS theme, and that is an .apk theme.

then you dont have to worry about a thing, just apply that theme the way you normally would.
The update only applies to the themes that have to be flashed over.

I also think that would be a cool addition to the ROM. I'd use it.

 

[nitestalkr]

actually, come to think about it.. i would also like to see that feature, it would prove to be very useful.

 

[a5pe4]

I was kinda expecting Google Music to be the default player in the new update. I just tried downloading it from the market and it didn't download. Any ideas?
