Guest le_lutin Posted September 7, 2010 Report Share Posted September 7, 2010 That looks nice, is it completely bug free? P I just tried that 3d gallery Pros: - Nicer looking - Higher resolution (you can zoom into photos further) - It seems to cache all thumbnails so that they are already displayed when you open the gallery. HTC's gallery always seems to regenerate thumbnails every time it is opened. Cons: The pinch to zoom doesn't quite work properly. It jumps around the place (pinch zoom on a photo a bit and then pinch zoom a bit more). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest TheScrub Posted September 7, 2010 Report Share Posted September 7, 2010 One small thing that bugs me about MCR releases is that you're still left with a black notification bar after removing sense (as well as various small bugs associated with removing it), is there any way to obtain a truly vanilla feel when baking a rom?

Guest EddyOS Posted September 7, 2010 Report Share Posted September 7, 2010 Go for an AOSP ROM if you want that (crap) vanilla feel - I love the fact you have the black bar as the white looks stupid against the dark Desire housing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul's doing an excellent job and offers one of the best roms out there, but why allow you to remove sense and its related widgets if there little niggly bugs remain...You might as well not bother and leave sense in anyway.

Guest EddyOS Posted September 7, 2010 Report Share Posted September 7, 2010 The black bar isn't 'Sense' though, you can get themes to make the white bar black so it's just theming...and theme changes are up to the individual as this is a Sense-based ROM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bigthunderkid Posted September 7, 2010 Report Share Posted September 7, 2010 apologies in advance if these questions have already been asked elsewhere. I did a search of the forum and couldn't find the answers.... Does the option to include Sub501's governor settings mean that installing the SetCPU app would be redundant - or do they complement each other?If ok to use both the governor settings and SetCPU, are there any settings in SetCPU that must be avoided to prevent any conflicts? thx pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest TheScrub Posted September 7, 2010 Report Share Posted September 7, 2010 (edited) The black bar isn't 'Sense' though, you can get themes to make the white bar black so it's just theming...and theme changes are up to the individual as this is a Sense-based ROM No it's not, but it's a part of the sense theme which isn't removed when it's left out of the kitchen. You'd think that removing sense would restore the vanilla feel whilst still being able to enjoy the benefits of an mcr release. The whole point of having a kitchen is to allow users to customise roms to their liking, s'all I'm getting at.

Guest EddyOS Posted September 7, 2010 Report Share Posted September 7, 2010 Sense is the UI, not the theme. Removing Sense restores the stock Launcher/lock screen but not the theme... Anyway, I doubt Paul will do it - he's got his vanilla Android ROM for that (which he'll apparently update at some point - is that right, Paul?? :P ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Noonski Posted September 7, 2010 Report Share Posted September 7, 2010 (edited) Oooh, the smooth icons are nice. I wonder if jercik would mind me making a non-percentage version? P Don't think he would have a problem with that as there's already modded versions of his Smooth Sense. I've alerted him to the Query anyway :P Thanks for the RIL update it was indeed the most important one, and saves me flashing it myself. Sense is the UI, not the theme. Removing Sense restores the stock Launcher/lock screen but not the theme... Anyway, I doubt Paul will do it - he's got his vanilla Android ROM for that (which he'll apparently update at some point - is that right, Paul?? :) ) Not if we keep him working his ass of on R9/10/11 :( +1 on the Reboot Mod from: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=776495 (if snq- don't mind it being added) Just flashed it and it feels like it should always have been there in the first place. (The added reboot into recovery is an extra for us Flash Frenzy Fiends) Edited September 7, 2010 by Noonski Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Lamhir Posted September 7, 2010 Report Share Posted September 7, 2010 Works fine so far, Droidwall finally working too. German/European Date issues still there as described in this thread. Any chances on fixing this anytime soon? In the german T-Mobile branded Version of Android 2.1 everything worked fine, even with the ROM used for rooting in this thread. It just stopped working after applying the Froyo MCR r5/r8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest dunbad Posted September 7, 2010 Report Share Posted September 7, 2010 Anyone else having unstable reception. Mines jumping between strong signal and no signal. It appears one and two bar signal strength no longer exists. Changing radio doesn't appear to make a difference. I've encountered thus on various roms over the past couple of weeks.
