CM6: Some questions

Hi,
I am currently using CM6 official night build for Hero and I got some questions, if someone's kind enough to answer it
* Why is JIT not enabled by default ? I thought Android 2.2 had JIT stable, why is it not the case in CM6 night build ?
* Will there be a way to {over|under}clock directly in the kernel like the last 2.1 roms are doing, not by using the overclock widget that register on hooks and is much slower to switch frequencies ?
* ADW.Launcher is the default home, why isn't it linked to the market, like the GMap app is (it can be updated but not removed) ? We can install the market ADW.Launcher app but it is not the same app (the settings menu is not at the same place and the previous settings menu still appears in the phone's settings).
* In the Rom Manager app, it is said that I should install the ClockworkMod recovery to use the app. What is it ? Is it as crazy as Kubrick ? Seriously, I am currently using RA-hero-v1.6.2, what is this ClockworkMod, is it better ? Should I install it ?
* I saw that there was a way to skin CM5, changing, for example the color and image of the notification bar, Skins were installable directly with a barcode. Is there such a way in CM6 ?
I hope these are not (too) noob questions, thank you for answering anyway
Seriously, you used the word yourself. You really think development is the area for questions? Next time post in the Q&A section, the hint is in the name... (reported)

Appologies, I didn't pay attention, my bad.
Could a mod move it to the right forum ?
Thread moved to Q&A.
Up ?
Nobody to answer those questions ?
I would suggest posting on their forums as the devs probably don't regularly check XDA.

[Q] How to disable lock screen?

Hello.
How do I remove/disable lock screen on GB 2.3.5?
On Atrix 4G there is a database entry that we could use, but it's strictly for motorola phones, now I'm using LG Nitro HD and can't find anything related.
Thank you.
P.S.
posting this question here, because we don't have many developers at Nitro's section..yet.
Click here for solution
That app and so far all other of same type enables wake on volume keys - it's not acceptable.
I'd rather do it manually if I can.
Any more suggestions?
Thanks.
Well, I don't know more apps that disables lockscreen, I have Jkay app on SGS2 and in menu I can disable lockscreen, so maybe you use search and maybe find if your phone is supported by JKay.

Jelly Bean Notification on the Lockscreen

Hello, I've got a HTC One S since few weeks ('got a MotoDefy before) and i'm really disappointed about the jellybean lockscreen :-/
It's really annoying to have to slide the notifications , on iPhone you just have to wake the screen to have a look on all your notifications (and i'm not even talking about the fact that the screen didn't switch on when you receive an email or sms on JB)
I'm using for now Widget Locker with Executive Assistant but there is a lot of things that's going wrong....
SO, is there a way to have the notification screen instead of the lockscreen...?
Or is somebody thingking about doing something similar? I think it would be a great feature for customs roms!
I've made an example but can't post external link :-/

Sorry, I was thinking that this thread was the best to post my question :good:
Ok, seems not so popular my idea :-/
If I'm not mistaken, HTC Sense has the ability to add notifications on the lockscreen. Never owned one before but I think I saw a review with that feature.
Also, the little icons in the status bar do tell you notifications already, and any more info would be somewhat...uh no word comes to mind lol but people could see who called or texted you and some of what they said, which bugs a lot of people.

I'm using CM10 on my HTC One S... So no more Sense on it!
And i don't really like Sense, it's ugly compared to stock JB... :-/
That's amazing that on stock Android (v4.1 !) the screen isn't powered on when a notification is coming!
And that we've got to power on the screen + slide the notifications to know what's happening!
That's not really effective to my mind...

[Q] Any Sola Themes?

Hey there.
Sorry if there is a post already about this but I tried to use the search function but apparently it does not work at the moment.
I was just wondering if there is any way to install custom themes to our solas. What I am really interested in is going removing the extra backgrounds presented in the dialer and messaging apps. Hope there's a simple way to do this through root. :fingers-crossed: Cheers!
You'll be better off looking in the Themes & Apps section and if you can't find anything then ask there.

[Req] 2012 MDPI devices' launcher for Xperia Mini Pro

I've search everywhere in the forum and found;
1. Xperia Arc launcher for mdpi device
2. Xperia S launcher for mdpi device
3. Xperia GX launcher for mdpi device
4. Xperia T launcher for mdpi device.
Non of these are really what I'm looking for.
I'm looking for a launcher like Xperia go, miro and tipo.
1. 4 icons dock on homescreen
2. 3 icon rows in app drawer
3. On screen home button is at the bottom middle, not on top right corner
However, xperia go, miro and tipo does not have horizontal orientation on it's launcher.
So can anyone help me to port these launcher (from go / miro / tipo) and mod a bit so it does have horizontal orientation when I pull my mini pro keyboard out?
Thanks!!!

No. Actually I said I found the thread in my post. It doesn't offer what I'm looking for. I'm looking for Xperia go/ miro/ tipo's launcher, with 3 rows icons just like the original. I don't want the modded into 4 rows. Yes I know many wanted 4 rows but my reason is, 4 rows comes with the cost of cutting the apps' name if the apps' name is long.

Come on, most people here are pro enough to mod the laucher, but no one can help with a simple launcher?
I really don't want 4 row icons, I want the original Xperia Tipo/ Miro / Go launcher. Just 3 row icons. Just like the original ones from Sony, for 320 x 480 px devices.
Please help me with it. Don't attach me with another link that links to 4 row icons.
*implied facepalm*
Come on dude...
You are asking the devs to do such modding especially for you...
When you can do it yourselves...
In the xperia T and most of the launcher...
You can simply edit the no. of rows and columns in launcher settings...
Hit thanks button if I helped you:beer:

The Dev has a lot more important work to do rather than this one, And in Fact you're not the Boss Of All Dev that Paid Them to work for you
So Please Don't Said that thing again, There are a lot of workaround and Some Launcher has Option to set the Number of Rows

I respect the developers. Without them we won't have fun custom rom to use. But it doesn't mean I can't point the truth out, and I know truth might hurt someone. I'm prepared for the consequences of getting banned.
I really thought the developers are all friendly and helpful people. This type of reply was really uncalled. I was just asking for a help, and if you refuse to help, reject me nicely, there's no need to scold me. You need to lower your pride a bit. I'm not as smart as developers, that's why I'm here to ask if anyone can help me. If no, it's fine. Just that no one replies my thread, so I don't know.
And your replies really shows you never really read my post. I suppose if you post a thread with clear instructions and someone don't read it and still ask you questions that you have written, do you like it? You scolded me without reading my post. I didn't just want custom rows. I went through my time to search for every thread, read every post and download every launcher to try it out. I even go through my time to read on how to root just so I can use custom xperia launcher, i took me few days.
It's when I have weeks of searching and couldn't find what I want, I opened this thread asking for help and I got scolded by your pride. Yes, your pride.
You didn't even read my entire post and come in and scold me. Which I was really not comfy with.

You are asking "I want this and I want that " and no dev is your personal dev here! They will do what many people feel it's good or what they feel it's good for the users. They know the best . You can't come here and demand the devs and question their knowledge just because they didn't fulfill your isolated personal DEMAND. This is a public forum and not your private forum nor the devs exclusively work for you, understand??? Please drop your demanding language and try to request the devs. Thank you.
