[Q] Porting the Fascinate Lock screen

Id love to port this thing over but what would all I need to edit? The XML files or just simply try and flash the framework-res.apk? Any help would be appreciated

Alot of the deva have been trying their hardest and it just keeps boot looping they said. It can't be done right now because unlike the fascinate, the Epic runs TW2.5 instead of 3.0. Gotta wait for 3.0 to be availible on the Epic I believe

Isn't the Epic Experience Rom using TW 3.0?

People don't search no more. This question and awnser had been posted in many threads from roms to asking for the lock screen.

I don't think its a full version because you can't edit the bottom icons or the app drawer.

Really? Whenever I long press an app it only gives the option to put it on my homescreens. When i press Menu in the app drawer it only says List View , and when i long press the bottom icons it does nothing lol. But when I press the home button it lets me edit however many homescreens I want and it also has the numbers on the dots at the top showing which screen im on so I thought it was just a partial 3.0 or something haha.

Open the launcher, hit menu, select 'view type', choose 'customizable grid'.
Then hit menu again, and now select 'edit'.
Of course this is if you are rocking the Epic Experience ROM

The reason we got 2.5 is cause 3.0 wasn't working right in landscape mode. Are phone automatically goes into landscape once the keyboard is slide out. The other galaxy s phones do not have these keyboard. So landscape mode wouldn't pose a issue

WOW MAN I LOVE YOU!
lol I was like what the EFF why can't I move my bottom icons thanks so much this tip should be included in the features of the epic exp rom!

Porting the lockscreen would require using baksmali to mod the framework-res.apk. I've looked at it and it was way over my head. People without coding experience need not apply.

so, if it doesnt work right with TW2.5 and epic experience has TW3.0 from the fascinate then why dont we just port it onto epic experience? wouldnt that make it much easier?
EDIT: epic experience uses TW3.0 from the vibrant past 1.2.01. not sure what the difference is but it still should make porting it easier.

Don't worry too much about it. I read all the headlines of the general forum but only the first few (and not that often because I go directly to my bookmark for Syndicate thread) of the developer forum. If it wasn't for this thread's headline, I wouldn't have even known about the Alpha for a while.
So, for what it's worth, your post helped me begin a new ROM on Monday. Thank you.

Would you rather see cheers in the main thread cluttering up the bug reports and stuff? Although according to Al Gore we're running out of internet so we need to conserve our posts, at least thats what I think he said.

Thanks for the heads up.

Some days I just wonder if it is a requirement to be a douche bag to own this phone. I am thinking not, just because no one asked me if I was a douche bag when I bought it, but man some of the people on this forum are just full of themselves..
Anyways, to the OP, thanks for the heads up, although I think I will wait. Syndicate Frozen is performing pretty well for me right now.

What information? He linked to another thread. Just go up one level, switch to the Android Development page, and you'll see it.

GPS fix, and the cause of many issues

I seen a few threads on GPS fixes. I read them and still see some people having issues after applying fixes. I found out something interesting so it's my turn to post a fix for the GPS issue.
Here is what this will fix:
taking a long time to get a fix.
Not being able to keep a fix.
Not accurate data.
GPS consuming more battery then it should.
I can tell every one who is having trouble still right off the bat that they have their TB's overclocked.
I found out something interesting while trying to get from point a to point b a few days ago. All of a sudden I was having all sorts of issue that I never had before. After futzing around to try and find a solution I focused on the only thing different then usual.
I had my TB overclocked to 1.5GHZ when I normally don't go much higher then 1.2GHZ. mostly not to drain the battery.
My unit took several minutes to get a fix, and when it did, if I started moving again,(driving down the road) it completely lost the fix, or it was sporadic at best.
I lowered the clock speed to 1.2ghz. Killed all apps for a fresh start. Started navigate again, and I got a fix in less then 10 seconds. And it held a fix.
I put the clock speed back to 1.5ghz and I lost the fix again. Problems were occurring again.
I was able to get a good fix at 1.3ghz, but it took a tad longer, still under a minute to get a fix, but at 1.2 it works flawlessly.
Apparently the chipsets used for GPS don't like too high of a frequency above normal.
If anyone is having an issue with GPS, lower your cpu to 1.2ghz or lower. Kill all apps. then restart your GPS software.
Hope this helps any one having issues out!

Great theory, and may be true to an extent. I don't oc and today I could not get a lock to save my life. And I was in wide open lake country where a lock should have been instant.
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA App

Yea I dont OC at all and Still even with a couple of patches Ive tried, it still dont work right.

My gps has never worked correctly since I got the phone. So interesting theory, but purely circumstantial and unscientific testing. The issue comes about from XTRA code being incomplete in the framework.jar. This is needed for fast locks. Secondly, the radio needs updating. Both are present in a yet unreleased TB ota.
Why you see wildly different results is that eventually, even a standalone gps locks. Fiddling with settings and so forth, you eventually get a lock. Once you have lock and keep it 'warm' with somewhat regular use, you get the illusion of your gps being fixed.

Yeah, I'll agree with everyone (minus the troll). The OC may be affecting your problem, or seem like it is. But, me, from the time I walked out of the store my GPS has not locked a single time. Glad I've still got my not-much-better fascinate to use nav with hhaha.

Currently, using the unreleased update I mentioned, I wait a maximum of 10 seconds on q cold lock, and I'm overlooked to 1.5ghz.

FYI- MIUI with ZEAM as home screen vs iPhone screen

Just installed to see what it was like....WOW!...I seem to have been lucky as I have ZEAM as my home screen, yet had read it was "ONLY" an iPhone home screen which kept me anyway. Other than the known "GPS" not working everything I had setup on all the various ROMs I have tried work so far....Just read everything and tweak as suggested....
Just follow the directions (I went back to JDF using Heimdall 1st)

Uhhh, I can't say. The Value Pack is Gingerbread based, even more so it's Gingerbread, it's not impossible, I don't think it is in any way shape or form and it's all things on the Rom side, not on the kernel side as far as I'm aware.
