Explain your issue?

I don't.. understand why it's such a huge deal? Use a custom launcher?

Eugene releases new hero to slide beta

Eugene has produced a new ROM. I didn't format the title because it is not my ROM to post, but I wanted to share the link for people in the meantime.
Hero To Slide Beta:

Keyboard lights work
You should still format the title properly, just give credit to Eugene...

He posted it late last night on twitter
Has anyone flashed this rom? I'm not too interested in ports on my Slide, but I'd like to hear the thoughts of people who have installed this.
Personally, I'm sticking with SlideM until CM5/6 arrives for the Slide.
i flashed it.....It stalls,big time for me...and before anyone goes"did you wipe(lol)" yes I did...ohh and did the mount system to but to no avail still stalls and freezes!
But it is fast but just freezes too much...went back to slide m
on another note, which do you guys like better SlideM or the Legend rom?
Did you run your log cat to see that it was indeed frozen
Remember Custom ROMS can take up to 15 minutes to flash in some cases, although on this phone I dont think it will ever be that high.
I thought mine was frozen but it turned out it just needed 7 minutes or so to load.
The logcat looked plenty busy
Thanks to kingofyo1 for teaching me how to check if the phone actually is frozen
anyways ill be sticking to the SLIDEM rom till someone builds a good kernal to overclock or a froyo rom or CM rom.
Mine kept freezing too .. But I didn't check my logcat..
Been loving legend... Except for no genius button...
Sent from my T-Mobile myTouch 3G Slide using XDA App
well i flashed it, and im at work, so cant logcat.. and i tried installing setcpu, because the kernel looked slightly different, i was thinking he may have implemented the OC kernel(hopes and dreams ) and i got a lock. restarted and then tried setcpu again, and locks still there >.< so i am guessing either superuser is messed up or something, will try a different root program and see if possibly its the program or the superuser.. overall its a good looking rom, check back on my slide bible for my scores if interested
I just clocked it. 3 minutes 14 seconds
After about 51 seconds you will get the little heropetit image. than an HTC for the remaining time.
Just relax and go away from the phone for a few minutes. I also filmed this.
So yea....i used it like i said...and im already back on using SlideM
BTW i changed a tire while this was loading and was still stuck after multiple boots.
OMFG 3.8 LINPACK!!! and second time is 3.3, 3rd is 3.5 4th is 4!!! 5th -8 is 4.1
can you say quickest slide rom to date??

working on it... no such luck yet, i'll post if i can get it working :/
newest ver of setcpu makes device unresponsive >.< never get a su request either on it >.>
Eugene has been working on a kernal to let us overclock. I saw some pics from him posted some where last night.
the superuser.apk is out of whack.. replacing it now and we will see what happens guys. wish me luck? lol
EDIT: cant seem to drop the stock su, dont have adb at this time with me so i cant do it that way either.. anyone else having troubles with su perms?
Tried it again and it boots.....but then just freezes.....i tried to uninstall superuser and wouldnt but installed setcpu.apk and opened her up and now my phone is stuck/frozen/locked up.....
Will be staying on SlideM till these issues are resolved
my biggest issue is the trackpad is messed up,
up=right
down=left
left=up
right=down
there are also some graphical issues that aren't incredibly bothersome, but stuff is just a little offcenter in landscape
if someone is a member of the community where eugene's original post is hosted, would you mind copying the images he attached over here?

2.3.4 changed the background from black to white. How can I get it back?

With 1.83, the default background for apps was black, but with 2.3.4, they seem to have changed it to white or light grey.
Is there any way to get the default background color back to the way it was in 1.83?

Why are you guys acting like asses? All I did was ask a simple question.
Sorry. Not trying to be an ass. Your guess is as good as ours unless ive overlooked something too. Will probably have to wait for cyan7 release to get it sorted out. Lmao. You got admit it is pretty funny though because there isnt a good answer. Yet.

Thanks for the advice - on both counts.
why would you ever want it to be black? You can't see it in the sun. White is better to see it in the sun.

[Q] Screen Burn

I have had this problem for a while now and been reading about it so kinda need some clarification :-/
I currently have a faint keyboard burnt into my background on everything i do on my phone which gets very annoying especially on light coloured backgrounds.
Turning your phone off / on is meant to cancel this problem but it has not worked , I have tried turning it off for short and long periods of times (upto a day).
Is there actually any real way of getting rid of this problem or is it a phone fault ?
BTW - If this helps, I have stock ROM 4.0.4 and currently using Nova Launcher Plus, also using original samsung keyboard.
Could be a problem with the rom. You can try flashing another stock rom, like 4.0.3.

Most ridiculous advice I've read in a while. Amazing :good:
It's just screen burn, because it's an Amoled screen. Nothing you can do about it.

I dont really want to tamper with that kind of stuff. Looked into Flashing your own rom using ODIN whether being stock or not and its not for me tbh
Do you think this is a valid reason to take my phone back and request it to be replaced? Had this phone for just under a year now.

There is really nothing much you can do, because it is usually temporary. Try turning your phone off for more than a day.(you could try) to let the pixels or crystal return to their natural relaxed state.

Maybe somebody knows a fix

I picked up a note cheap,it is android 4.1.2,and has jelly beer 3.34,it is rooted,my question is do you know of any screen rotation issues,I can turn the phone and it will swithch to the sideways mode but when I turn it back like a phone it stays stuck until I hit the home button,I have tried every kind of setting on the launcher and the regular display settings.I also cant find screen calibration to recalibrate,thanks for any help
A rotation mod may have been used on the device prior to your getting it...
there may also be other modifications to the device you are not aware of, but without seeing it, I cant say for sure.
this much I do know, that it's a rom related issue..
check the rom thread here on xda for a potential solution, as I'm sure it's been addressed in that area...g

[Help] How to disable round icons

im currently running resurrection remix on my 5x and like many other roms it force enables the horrible round icons. i have tried to edit framework-res.apk a few times but have not been successful. every time i switch the apk's i end up in a bootloop. im sure its the recompiling part thats messing me up.
so, does anyone know of an easy way to disable the damned icons? i know i can use an icon pack but none look good in anyway to me and i just want to use the stock icons. i heard somewhere that just opening framework-res.apk with 7zip and replacing the bools.xml will work without all the other stuff.
i want to try this but i want to make sure before i go risking another bootloop issue since its early in the week to fix my phone. any help is appreciated!
It's up to RR team right now, all you can do is slap a custom launcher and an icon pack

You can simply take a nandroid backup before trying that method. So if something goes crazy, you can restore.

Just wanted to drop in. Oneplus One, same exact issue. I can go disable this iWare (iPhones enforce the same shape for all icons) on every single rom by modding framework-res, with the exception of RR which bootloops. It's a shame, I'd love to use RR, but those round icons are atrocious and no icon pack will satisfy me (even though I like icon packs), because it's just a fix over made up issue, instead of treating the root cause (useroundicons=true).
I really hope that RR devs figure out a way for us to NOT use their **** round icons like every other rom.

THANK YOU!!!!!! so this is mainly an RR issue? weird! i have only tried the mod on RR and gave up on trying it on Cypher-OS because i didnt want to deal with the bootloop.
i too feel that these damned round icons should not be shoved down our throats. it should be optional but on N its not. O seems to have implemented differently but that is far away and for now i have to deal with these damned icons.
im going to the Cypher g+ in the hopes that i get some help with this. i hope RR changes their implementation. thanks for the help Lirannl!!

It's up to them to determine if they'll use round icons or not, but I hope they bring the option while flashing to choose between Normal and pixel icons

Let's wait for Android O. Google added an option to choose what the shape of the icons will be. Circle, square, squircle, and the Allo shape icon.

that would be preferred but somehow i doubt it. it seems O will have this baked in so you can enable/disable this to your liking. what ever happened to "be together, not the same"? im gonna try and modify the framework over the weekend. i really hope it works.

okay, so i looked through my history in my phone and found the link but because i was at work i couldn't post and link it last night. now i have a few minutes before i get ready for work. so the dev who built the app is BDFreak. the app was easy to use. had i known that RR would bootloop regardless of correct modding i would not have put off this app.
the app is Advanced ApkTool v4.2.0. ill try again over the weekend and report back on if/how it works. just in case someone beats me to it, please report back. i cant wait to be rid of these damned round abominations!!!

welcome to the anti-rounders!!!!....... ew! nevermind, that name sucks! sorry to disappoint, but it seems that this mod wont work on RR. you can try just in case i did it wrong but make sure to backup your original file. good luck to all who attempt this mod. please give feedback on your results.
