More bars? - Droid Incredible General

Hey all,
I have had a question for a while, and can't find anything via search.
Is there a hack to make the signal level/bar icon have 5 or 6 bars instead of 4?
It is more of a sense of mind, but when you get to -95db+, your bars go down to 1 or 0, and for me -- that tells me that im not able to make a call.
It would be nice to have a more accurate reading, so when I get to -95 I can have 2 bars or something of that nature.
I'm sure some others agree with me -- the EVO has it.
Thanks!

The evo only has 4 bars. I know that because I'm running the signal icons and status bar from the evo's dump.

Afraid not. It does have more bars (as of 2.2 anyway). Mind you they are just graphics...

What ROM would you want more bars on?

General forum? Isn't this considered development?
I am using the leaked 2.2 rom right now (not the 8/1/2010 one)
I wish there could be a simple patch for it, install any rom you want, then apply the patch and be good to go.
There's a 3rd party software out there, but it doesnt replace the original "graphic", it just sits on the top left...which is sort of lame.

That's exactly what I am looking for. My friends evo has more than 4 bars but even our most recent ota leak still has 4. How did you get that?

I would LOVE to have that also, please share!

Its from the evo port rom from androidforums.com. Go to htc incredible, all things root, roms, and the evo port is in there. I'm using it currently and its working great.

That's the ticket!
I would love that on mine.

This is so not a general thread LOL....why it was moved is beyond me.
Methinks the mods might be confused on what is development and what is not.

Yeahh!!
That's what i'm looking for!! Perfect.
How is that rom? Stable?
EDIT: what is the official name for that rom? Looking for EVO ports, just see a thread with BETA application...

They are mixed throughout. Test 3 is on page...2?
Its stable. Has some Sprint crud in it that doesn't work, but its all in the wireless settings and general settings. If you can ignore that, it does well.

Got it...This is your rom, eh?
What is the easiest/best way to install it?
Would ROM manager be fine?

Yeah rom manager is fine.
Best to wipe, so backup first.

Android Forums isn't easily navigated, so here's the link, and here's a Multiupload link.

I wonder if there is a way to extract just that portion of the framework and turn it into a flashable update, versus using the entire ROM?

Perhaps. Its not just a graphic, but framework changes elsewhere too. I don't know for sure where.

If I'm not mistaken, our framework has the images already in it. So I think your'e right about it being something else calling those specific .png's...

Uh oh... Headed back to Atlanta with 4G coverage.

I think I might just have to flash a Sense ROM to try it out. I don't get 3G in my apartment for some reason, but Clear's map shows it in full 4G. I don't know if I can go though with it though!

Sense Rom using LauncherPro as your home....what's the issue!?
Edit: <-- you can see my UI there!
Edit: Well, don't know what happened to that post, but Sense still clogs up the ROM, even without using Rosie.
I'd say just nand backup your current love (I'm assuming CM6)
Install a sense Rom for the day (week, whatev')
And on your way home (or just out of the city) Nand restore and you'll have the best of it all. Or you could just nand back up the sense Rom too and switch back and forth while you're there as your needs dictate!

Well I actually live there for the whole school year, so if 4G is as good as it seems then I may have a conflict.
For most things, I don't even notice a difference, here in Austin, TX. Yes, it's faster... Yes, app downloads are slightly faster, and web pages open maybe 2 seconds faster... but, it's not mind-blowing. The hassle of dealing with the 4G toggle switch, (to prevent battery drain,) is a pain...
I wish there was a 4G-toggle program that would use GPS, and check every 10-15 minutes, and turn it on accordingly... when you venture out of 4G coverage, just have it disable it until it finds you in a valid coverage area.
I had the same problem when Orlando went to 4G. I finally stopped at EViO with the KingxKernel BFS kernel, and I have to say that this thing is fast and snappy where I am completely happy with having this until CM6 supports 4G. If you find that 4G is a deal breaker, the best thing to do is to sit down and test out a bunch of different Sense ROMs with a few different Kernels and find out which is barable enough to switch it to a daily ROM.
Eh, I can't bring myself to go back to Fresh. It just wouldn't feel right. D:

I didn't personally like the nightlies or the RC, so I was able to switch just fine, and 4G had no impact as I don't get it.

I've been using it since the first nightly, and they've all been amazing. Currently on RC2, but I usually flash a new nightly every few days or so.
Well, decided to give it a shot since I was having some issues with my school's WPA network on CyanogenMod. I was pleasantly surprised:

[WIP] Stock Gingerbread Theme for DX

Here's a little something I'm cooking up for everyone running the gingerbread leak. yes you will need to be deodexed and obviously you will need to be rooted.
this includes the screen off animation, stock gb keyboard as an option (if you like the dx gb keyboard you can still use that), and a transparent notification background. let me know what you guys think and if you have any suggestions

Awesome news. A couple of questions, though.
Are you pulling all images possible from the GB source itself?
And will you be able to change the light that shows up at the bottom/top of menus from blue back to the AOSP orange?

An undo zip would essentially be the same thing as a backup. Flashed the same way and more reliable than me having to go through and create a whole separate zip reverting all of my changes.

Petition: ZenExp Rev8 to be Re-opened

Ok, I've been waiting for this rom to be released and finding out that it was canned due to lack of interest. If enough votes we can get this rom reopened and released. This rom needs to be released so it can break the monotony of the Gingerbread and Honeycomb roms thats out there. ZenExp rev 7 was beautiful and I can't even imagine how Rev 8 would look like.
Please vote to have this roms released. Thank you.
P.S. I don't know no other way to state my vote, maybe by typing "please release"

Yes! I was on this for a year, and I had to finally move on -- one of the saddest days of my life. I would love to see Rev8!
Yea I'll vote even though Im on a Dinc now. I still have my Eris laying around enjoying its retired life. Could have made a poll to go with your thread.

This was one of my favorite roms. I use xtrSENSE now. The froyo and gingerbread roms are alright. I just don't really care for them. The sense based roms run so much smoother on my phone. I would love to see this reopened. I would definitely rock it.
Excellent people, keep it coming. We need to let MAK know that we love his work. GB is great but there are too many roms that look the same. I use now GSB and go back and forth with xtrSense/xtrRom. I would love to see this released. It'll be my everyday rom.
If this comes out I wouldn't get another phone. All these phones coming out with different UI and downloadable 3d ui's that the Eris can't handle. But if this comes out I'll be more than satified.
Hm, maybe I'm missing something, but I'm not sure I see whats so appealing about that UI. Hopefully this doesn't sound like I'm trying to rag on your idea, I'm not, trust me.
Are there any screenshots laying around that "show it off" a little better?

Its not my work, but somebody elses. Its simple and different from all those Gingerbread roms (they are all so plain). At least this rom has some themes that are appealing.
You may look on this thread on the 5th page for the zenexp rev7 to get an idea and some more info. but its the same screen shots I posted.
The reason they are plain is for u to
Do what u want with them... I find that when I add something people want less

4g seems a little more flaky here at work with the new radio Getting 1 bar to no bars where I used to have a fairly solid 2 bars.
Works for.me
Works for me have not tested 4g as ill prolly never have it on the boonies of SC 3g seems faster

I have actually been a bit slower on 4G. Use to get a solid 2 bars at the house and now barely get one, sometimes. Download rate one Speedtest.net dropped down to just around 6M from 7 Mb before the update.
I'm a radio noob...if I update my radios can I still flash back to my old backups? Can I also use CM7 as well?
your ROM and your Radios are two different things. you can use any ROM you want and your radios won't change, unless there's a ROM that flashes new Radios, too.
Anyhow, I flashed mine here at work and haven't had a chance to do much, but I am getting a full signal for a change, which is rare inside this building.
All is well for me. I am on CM7, so I updated the radio, flashed a Sense ROM (Sprint Lovers) updated Profile/PRL, and restored back to CM7.
Reception seems better, but it could be my imagination. I'll need more time to tell.

I never get anything over 1mb on 3G on cm7 (updated & tested). I just switched to the rooted ota just to run a 3G test and hit 2mb on 3G. I'm stoked because that means my 4G might be faster but I won't get my hopes up.

Onskreen from Cornerstone is open to all.

It is now open source. There is a ROM for the WiFi Xoom. And the source code has been released for the dev comunity. Team EOS where are you? 3G Xoom ROM? Any way, just wanted to put this out there.

Runs fairly well in my opinion.
Sent from my Droid Incredible 2
Tried installing on it my UK WiFi Xoom, but it didn't really work.
First I tried to connect to WiFi - it saved my WiFi network, but wouldn't connect to it. After a reboot it connected.
Second when attempting to log into my Google account I tapped in the email field but the keyboard would not appear. I had to hit the back button for the keyboard to appear.
Third it kept saying that I had input a wrong password even though I'm sure it was the correct password, so a no-go getting Gapps to work.
Based on the hassle with these seemingly three simple things (have flashed several roms and never experienced this) I hardly doubt that this rom will be a favourite of mine anytime soon...
can anyone video-review it?
is it just the same as their ICS SDK vid?
This whole thing seems like a security no-no.
(I don't install any rom that's not completely open source and from an established and trustworthy team.)
Also, while this is a neat idea, ultimately it's a framework mod and unless it goes into AOSP, which I can't see happening, it looks destined to the gee whiz niche.
So I only just found out about onskreen a few hours ago...

Sorry to hear it's been pulled but it's understandable...I had some stability issues. But it will be a great addition to EOS ICS Rom once it's been worked over.
That's one of the reasons why these nightlies are so exciting--you never know what fun surprises are in store!
Thanks a million, guys.
How much tweaking can be done to this? I mean since its open source then we could tweak it as much as we want, no?
