Root Velocity 1.2.2 OPEN Beta

Velocity is awesome, though I never cared for ADW that much, using launcher pro instead, especially since it can resize things which works well with my increased resolution (8x5 icon layout instead of the stock 4x4); awesome in landscape but resizing is sorely needed for portrait. :p

This glitches the market occasionally, about twice a week - I can get the market working fine (180dpi, 8x5 icon layout) - but every few days it decides to freak out and give me the 'incompatible app' problem, till I reset the dpi, stop it, clear it's data/cache, and reboot 2-3 times :/

If the velocity devs can fix THAT, so it works with noon-standard DPI's, it'd be *incredibly* awesome.

I've got a couple other little glitches; I often find out I got a text or missed a call, hours later and without the notification sounds going off when I get it, much less the reminder ones. And I don't see anyplace to set reminders for email messages. (it'd also be nice to set separate ring/notification tones for contacts, I haven't found how to yet if there already is).

Those are all minor things I could live with, and probably just annoyances I have, I'm a bit picky :)

But one thing that DOES seriously bother me, is that the tether apps, especially the wifi one, are unstable with connections at times, especially telnet ones. I've frequently had them disconnect when idle more than a minute or two and that's an extremem annoyance; as is the fact it seems to get windows thinking it's a new network every time I connect- it's apparently changing the MAC address every time I start either tethering app. (and there's also no option to put it on a 192.168.0.* network, only 192.168.1.* and others).

If there's a way to fix those, and it's not just my Ally, I'd appreciate it; I can live with them, although the wifi issue is a real serious annoyance, especially since I use it frequently. (Oh, and a better shell like bash would be wonderful, especially if it has a command history!)
 
I wish I could get a hold of savox, and we could just roll velocity and stormDROID together for one final awesome ROM.
 
Hes out doen his own thing i believe. Last time i got ahold of em, i recieved permission to finish velocity and he wanted the velocity script updated. (assuming its crashing or misbehaving)
So far ive updated the following

4.0 styled wallpaper app
Themed up a few apps
Did some work on the framework
Working on the android settings
Removed some unnecessary software
Updating the system with latest froyo sdk

Its taking longer than i expected with all the projects ive dedicated myself to.
 
one thing that would be very nice, come to think of it, is the ability to remove things like google music, google docs, stock message thing, stock clock/calendar, etc - there's several system apps I never use, and I'm not sure what's safe to uninstall and what isn't...

We've pretty much stripped these roms down to what's necessary. you can safely remove music and docs though.

Those options can be done via the velocity script i thought
 
Neat wallpapers, though most are too abstract and 'graffiti'-ish for my taste (I like the black one with the X though!)

I'm excited to see the final release, I hope it's soon! (...I'll just have to find a nice fast way to batch reinstall my apps!)
 
Sorry guys for long wait (if you are waiting...) been busy
But since jellybean is making an appearance. That gives this rom an oppurtunity to grow more.



Bump

How does jelly bean give the rom an opportunity for this rom to grow more. Surely you aren't talking about porting jelly bean over?
