ROM Toolbox - Motorola Photon 4G

So I'm sure a good majority all ready know. But ROM toolbox has a root explorer built into it in the latest edition, and that is included in the free edition as well. Plus it allows you to set the scaling governor and cpu sliders, along with some other little nifty tweaks. So if you haven't checked it out, I would.

Thanks, nice find.

Not a problem.

Yeah, I think I will as well.

Conflict b/n Rom Toolbox and Rom Manager
Can anyone offer a suggestion on where I should go to find out why I'm having a conflict between Rom Toolbox Pro and Rom Manager/Clockworkmod?
I'm having it with both UnNamed 1.2 and CM7 7.1. I can't do anything like backing up or installing roms because Rom Manager is blocking everything unless I buy the paid version of Rom Manager...what's up?
Thanks in advance and sorry if I put this in the wrong place.

I don't use ROM manager but when I was on home base it had ROM manager and I had no conflicts. Have you tried any other ROM's?
Sent from my MB855 using XDA App

Likewise. I've tried LCD densities between 200-264. I noticed anything over 240 changes the way the weather widget displays. Unfortunately at this time we can only change the min frequency on CPU slot 4 per developer. Additional profiles for the remaining slots are being considered, however I think the developer wants to see greater interest for the same first?

I messed around with that on my Symbian phones. They had a trial version of SPD, but it didn't do anything for me.

ADW question
I have a custom dock and icon pack that is in a zipped file. The instructions say to "The docks and icons in the folders meant for custom launcher such as launcherpro, adw launcher, go launcher and so on. Don't apply with cwm! Just extract the zip file in desktop." but not much else...
How do you get ADW EX to recognize this package? THNX

Yes, I am running on my LG Optimus V. It has run smoothly so far (one fc, minor) but does have a minor issue with the app drawer. On the LG, the screen is kind of small and the apps extend up into the header area (Apps | Widgets) and the lower bar doesn't show up at all. Doesn't seem to matter much to me, I am pretty happy with it and think the guys did a great job on it. HCL looks pretty cool too.
This launcher works great on the Atrix, the devs are doing a great job and they've promised an ICS lockscreen for this week.
Keep an eye on their thread/site this is going to rock even more soon!

Need Help Switching Keyboard!

I flashed CleamROM Kang Tablet Edition to my Rezound. I LOVE it and its a great daily rom BUT everytime i go to changed my keyboard in the settings, it force closes. Please help. Anyone know another way i can change my keyboard to go keyboard or smart keyboard?!?
Also anybody know of any security apps to lock the phone COMPLETELY?! Everytime i go to set a pattern or pin lock it force closes!
Usually when you get force closes you should fix app permissions. So since I do not know of another way. I would suggest that you fix your permissions in amon ra then retry. Other than that I have no help but I think that you should at least try that. Good luck and I hope you can find another way or the permissions fix works.
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using xda premium
it didn't work :/
Did you fix permissions in amon ra. And also check to see if any other sections to the settings app are killing themselves. And did you say you are using the tablet version of the Rom for a resound.
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using xda premium
Another idea would be trying to use an app link to go to the settings like when I used use swiftkey it would automaticallly send me to settings. Some times when you kill.the app and do that you have enough time to get into settings before it kills itself. Just a suggestion.
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using xda premium
After rereading your post more closely I would recommend that you change Rom you can get security applications but if.you are having an array of problems.with the system settings app then I would recommend changing to the last stable version of tha Rom.
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using xda premium
nope ): still not working.. someone told me to change the "dpi" (whatever that is).. but idk how...
Oh to do thavyou can get an app called Rom toolbox in the android.. er play store. You go to the build props tweaks and you can edit from there I think that the default is 320 but I've never edited it before and I don't know whether.you should raise or lower. Just by looking at the number is say its safe to assume that you should raise by 10 then test then lower by 20 in other words 320,330,310
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using xda premium
okay.. on the tablet edition of cleanROm the dpi is 192 though.
Try 320 that is stock rezound 192 seems awfully low.

Maybe go there with incriments and reboot between each change.

Anyone enabled 180 degree rotation yet?

I believe it's just a build.prop edit, but I've heard of it bootlooping some people after making the suggested edits, so just wanted to make sure I used a tried and true method for our phone.
I'd really like to have this mod on my phone. I use a flygrip, and while it doesn't sit properly on the kickstand in regular portrait mode, it works great if you flip it upside down.
As much as I can't wait to flash custom ROM's with all of these features already implemented, I'm kind of having fun learning how to do some mods on my own! It's really neat to watch the development unfold for this phone..I can already tell this is going to be a great community!

I went ahead and tried this 270 rotation build.prop tweak for the Note GT-N7000 and it didn't make a difference(even tried to set it to 180).

Just a heads up, in using this app I came to realize that on some gyroscope enabled applications, such as games like Need for Speed, this app will cause it to not with properly(the car was just doing circles).
Tried forcing different orientations with the app, but it didn't seem to work. Uninstalling the rotation app and rebooting the phone fixed the issue though.
Oh well, now that we have some custom ROM's starting to flow, most of them will have options for 180 rotation. I started this thread when we only had stock rooted available.
Thanks for the app suggestion though, it worked well for what I needed for, for the time that I needed it!

[Q]Landscape keyboard on Badseed Tranquil ROM

Just flashed the Badseed Tranquil ROM last night and noticed today that when I'm in landscape there is an empty space on the right of the keyboard. I can see through to the app behind the keyboard. Is that supposed to be like that or is there a way to fix it? Also I'm getting some reasonable lag while I'm using the keyboard that I didn't get before. Any help would be great.

I flashed using twrp and came from Hatka Supreme if that helps at all. I'm also having problems in the extended settings with the kernel options. Won't let me set tweaks on boot. Dunno if that's a Rom issue or kernel issue though. I'm running cubed but might switch back to beast. Thought cubed would help cuz since I installed roms my car charger won't charge the phone. Gives me the notification error message.

When I got hone from work I wiped everything and flashed from the beginning. Then the keyboard worked, then I put all my apps back on, went to send a txt and therer it was again. So I went into every app that I could use the keyboard on and discovered the empty space is only there in certain apps. My stock messaging and stock browser are fine but gosms and xda and chrome have the empty space by the keyboard. Really disappointing cuz I absolutely love the Rom otherwise. Blue is my favorite color and especially that color blue lol. My case and even my car is that shade blue hahaha. See if that problem happens with anyone else and if it ends up getting fixed in an update I will surely be switching back!

This is a Kernel issue , I suggest BeastMode 5.9 , and you set the options you want in aroma . If you want to change things on the fly feel free to try another kernel , CP's kernel for example .

That is so confusing. Maybe I was wrong and chrome wasn't one. I was trying to remember from last night lol. I know gosms definitely was one though cuz I send so many txts. Give it a try and if it doesn't do it for you then maybe it's an app that I installed that's making it do that. I also have lmt pie installed and that works from that side of the screen so it could possibly be that.

Hey is your phone going into deep sleep when this is enabled?
After I installed this (I did the APK method, for some reason the .zip wasn't downloading.) my settings app closes on launch.
I can still go Menu Key > Lock/Home Screen Settings to get into the app, but I can't even use All Settings.
I uninstalled the app, but the problem is still there. Any ideas?
