hi kaska_pt

thanks, i can live with the security thing, but the feedback is rather handy specially with my big fingers lol

i take it yours works in the dialer, everything works except when i,m in dialler i just doesnt vibrate, very strange?

[Guest kaska_pt]

I'm on my HTC Desire at the moment, my wife has the Blade with her, won't be able to help you until I get home :unsure:

EDIT: but on my desire it's working without those previous mentioned options on, so it must be a dialer issue itself

Hi,

i tried to flash the r8 ROM on my B05 SF. (coming from r6 fat) I wiped partitions & cache, after flashing the phone boots in the normal way, but the touchscreen fail to respond. Unlock the screen or input sim-pin ist not possible.

Everything is fine when going back to r6, Clockwork update from 2.5.1.3 to 2.5.1.8 and reflash r8 aigain (with wipe) also ends with an not responsive touchscreen.

Thanks for any ideas.

[Guest beangeles]

Hi, completed the custom rom install today, fairly easy once i got the right driver installed for xp, just wondered about the addon zip how easy is it to remove once i install it in clockwork ? also if i wanted to change the rom how would i go about it would i need to fastboot flash clockwork again ? or just go though clockwork on the phone and install from sd ? (want to remove the update zip,is their anyway to add just live wallpapers and is there any themes for this rom) would it just overwrite the current rom ? thanks would appreciate a reply :unsure: If anyone has the time to answer

You will have to install through clockwork the LITE version again

also if i wanted to change the rom how would i go about it would i need to fastboot flash clockwork again ?

You can do this or just go though clockwork on the phone and install from sd ?Or this also :D

(want to remove the update zip,is their anyway to add just live wallpapers and is there any themes for this rom) would it just overwrite the current rom ?

If wish to remove, well then you should install the lite version.For the live wallpapers there is the need to extract the unnecessary apk files from the addon zip file and install it afterwards

thanks would appreciate a reply :P If anyone has the time to answer

everybody has the time, sometimes it's just a lack of will

Hi,thanks for your reply its appreciated !

So all i need to do is install though clockwork again (just install zip from sd i originally did 1st time so just enter CW and wipe and install like before) and it will over write correct ? would it be same with other roms that are compatible with CW just mount move over and install ? as the fast boot flash just install clockwork on to the phone ?

is it safe to delete the rom zips off sd card or do they need to stay on the sd card (would it corrupt firmware if removed)

Sorry Noob just want to make sure as its all fully working atm

Thanks in advance

Have a good evening

Wife's phone is still on r7 and has been for a while, it's very stable and excellent work from Seb.

If I can upgrade it to r8 without wiping that'd be good - will give it a go - still not clear what the deltas are from r7 though?

Hi,thanks for your reply its appreciated !

In this case I think so

would it be same with other roms that are compatible with CW just mount move over and install ?

I don't know mate, could be in some cases but it's not guaranteed

as the fast boot flash just install clockwork on to the phone ?

couldn't understand this one...the fastboot is a way of communicating with your android device, loading roms, recoveries, boot etc...not sure what you want to know

is it safe to delete the rom zips off sd card or do they need to stay on the sd card (would it corrupt firmware if removed)

yes it's safe mate, you only need them to make the installation.

Sorry Noob just want to make sure as its all fully working atm

Thanks in advance

Likewise :D

It seems to be a minor fix, and updated apps if I'm not incorrect.

Thanks for reply, you've confused me now, i don't understand how to say install the "r9 if it were to be released" over the r8

would i just install from zip as i dont need to use cmd (windows) to flash the blade img. do you understant what i am saying when you change rom do you just install like the 1st time you did it ?

As you mentioned i can install the r8 lite over my r8 which has the addon on atm using install from zip in clockwork correct ?

Hope you understand what i am asking

sorry if i asked the same question differently just don't want to brick my phone :D NoOb at work here trying to understand

Thanks in advance

I was asking that you only use fastboot to flash the image as you mount to place rom zip on to the sdcard and install from clockwork which is what you flashed on to the phone... hope you understand what i was asking now :P

Hi, i like your Rom, but Touchpal is crashing when I choose German language...

[Guest liorwohl]

hello,

i had r7 + addon until today and now i have installed r8 without addon, and restored data.

it's looking good, thanks!

but why do i still have Global Time app?

and why two alarm clock apps? i think Alarm Clock should be in the lite rom and Clock in the addon, why have both?

[Guest kaska_pt]

Why the hate for global time?

Its there because people want the classic Clock Widget, and that's what it comes with....

Distance and light sensors - and the wrong thread

I deleted the globaltime app from /system/apps and still have the clock widget.

Another feature request: with the lite version installed, i have about 100MB free space on /system...

Would be nice to repartition to get some more space to /data.

[Guest Sebastian404]

No, you have the other clock widget, the modern version.. the one that comes with globaltime is a more 'classic' looking clock, the one that was in ALL the screen-shots you used to see for Android devices
