I just flashed Fission for the first time (hooray) but I liked the messaging and the alarm apps from blur, is there a way to have these? If so, can someone gimme some links? Is it just as simple as installing the .apk's?
Just extract the apps from any blur rom

And just for a refresher on how to do that....
That still wont work, as you need some of the blur services as well...Not just the apks...
There is a post on how to get the blur alarm app back for fission
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=825969
Not to be a downer... But pretty sure with the exception of the blur alarm clock, adding blur apps back in is a pain, as this rom was designed without blur. So as a previous post states, blur apps require blur services and other components that were stripped out of fission.

Don't really see how the messaging app would be a pain, hell the blur camera still works on fission and what not.
So has no one tried the blur messaging app?

I've been trying to find an answer to this from day one to no avail. I am also interested in having the messaging app, as I prefer the look and feel of that app to the stock android one.

Howdy,
I am new to rooting but did some research before pulling the trigger.
I followed the instructions located at droid life. I would post a URL but since I am new I cant.
But I have been stuck at the Z4 MOD screen with the rotating circle for about 20 mins now. Help please....
Sometimes a reboot and try again does the trick.

Just let it go until it stops spinning (took me about 20-25 minutes) pull the battery, reboot, try again. It will be almost instant the second time
If you still don't have any luck, make sure to go into settings-->Applications--> development--> USB debugging. Make sure that usb debugging box is checked.
If that still doesn't help, try putting the phone into AIrplane mode and then try running z4root.

When I did it to mine I was also in airplane mode. You might want to try that
Ok thanks for the help. I waited about 40 mins and then closed the program and rebooted the phone. It took only 30 seconds and it was done..
So now that I have that done I loaded liberty 1.5
I also downloaded adw launcher as I heard it was pretty good.
My problem now is I cannot get it to set up my two other email accounts (hotmail and another ) like I had before. I also cannot get it to link some of my existing contacts to my facebook contacts (basically double contacts)
What am I doing wrong?

Ok so I deleted adw launcher and went back to the liberty controls. Doing that allowed me to join contacts into one. So one problem solved.
But I still cannot get my emails to work. I enter in all the info and I get this message : "unable to open connection to server"
Also I cannot find the original messaging widget that I had on the phone before. It basically was a large widget that had a preview of my text messages.
My email widget is missing as well...
Thanks for your help
When you installed liberty, you removed all of the stock apps aka blur apps. Liberty uses all aosp apps which do not haves the blur elements. This may explain why you can't do the email and it is why you don't have the messaging widget. If you still want the messaging widget I recommend you try gosms or hancent
Handcent is the way to go for sure. And honestly you should get a gmail account. It just makes sense if you use a Droid. Plus go into liberty tool box - addons and you can put back some of the blur stuff. I recommended the blur camera because the stock liberty camcorder doesn't support hd. Good luck!

Thanks. I do have a GMail account but do not do much emailing with it.
I will check out handcent.
Next question is my facebook widget is not keeping updated like it should. On the main widget screen you can scroll through new posts from all of your friends but for some reason it is not updating them. If I click on the widget it loads my facebook and everything is recent.
Any ideas?
Hmm not sure I don't use the Facebook widget. I use the twidroyd widget instead. I had the same problem but it got fixed when the app had a new update. Are other people having that problem? Might be the app. Try seesmic I hear they added Facebook support. He's the guy that made ping.FM so you know it's decent. Maybe check your app update settings and make sure its getting content.

After I turn the phone on in the morning it goes to that "dos like" screen where you can backup and restore, update, etc etc. It says clockwork mod recovery on the bottom. I usually click the first option and the phone resets and loads fine.
What is going on?
Also I would like a clock widget similar to the stock digital one. I like how the stock one would change weather forecasts when I changed citys.

The dos-like screen is a hikacked recovery for the X. It may seem like a hassle to always have to tell the phone to boot normally, but the one time that it bricks or has issues, then this recovery console will.be q blessing.

You could make a nandroid back up once a month or however often you make major changes to your system.

Gingerblur deletes the Moto messaging app and replaces it with the stock android one. The two ways to get back to bubbles that I know of are to go into the .zip bloatware file and find what you're looking for, or you can download a third party messaging app (I recommend Handcent) that will do it for you.
That's great app, thanks.
Go SMS Plus is a great alternative as well.

+1 for Go SMS
YUP -- I tried both Handcent and GO Sms based on the referrals in this thread. I must asy.. GO SMS PRO was the handsdown winner... very customizable, fancy transitions, ease of set-up, no lag, and fast sync with my facebook contacts. Good stuff.
So I've spent the past week flashing different roms trying to figure out the issue and the only thing I can figure is sense based roms cause my text order to be out of order. The incoming texts show up before the sent text in the thread. I've tried stock messaging app as well as alternate sms apps and still the same thing. My wife is on stock non root and has the same issue.
Put CM7 on my phone yesterday and ran it all day and all my texts showed right..I first thought it was maybe a carrier issue in my area but why would CM7 work right when sense doesn't....
I'm at a loss on a fix and my wife wants a fix too lol...anyone have any ideas?
Fixed my issue...finally hit me on what I could try and it actually worked...so stinking happy!

I had the same issue with an AOSP rom. weird. I believe it might be one of the 3rd party widgets (not messaging apps) such as the sense widget or the launcher pro sms widget. first I thought it was my theme, reflashed still no go. so I wiped and reflashed then found out that if I clicked on a friends name from the launcher pro sms widget and sent a message it would be out of order for instance when he texts and I reply my reply would go BEFORE his message...
If not the widgets my second theory could be the kernels...
quick fix. just restart your messaging app and delete all the threads.
I tried everything and the only thing that worked for me was putting the vanilla android mms.apk on instead of sense mms.apk
Although the vanilla messaging app likes to force close on composing mms
1. I set thumb keyboard as default keyboard but after restarting nook color the keyboard defaults to stock one. I tried swiftkey but having same problem. Please help, it is very annoying it select the keyboard everytime I reboot the device.
2. Another prob is I cannot get some widgets working.They install correctly but do not show up in the add widget menu. Btw, I currently use nemus launcher.
Few widgets that don't work are sense analog by factory widgets, minimalist text widget, and a few other battery level indicatiing widgets.
Is it only me or anyone else having the problem?
I am running cm 7.2 from sd.
No rep
At least someone tell me if minimalist text widget or sense analog is working on cm 7.2 or not?
So that i can consider reinstalling the rom or try another rom.

First thing I would try is using a different launcher... see if that is your issue... I'm sure not many use the launcher you are, so it is hard for us to provide feedback/information.

I personally don't use any of those widgets... but I know others use minimilistic text without issue... you might want to fix permissions before you resort to a clean install.

You probably have those Widgets installed to SD. Widgets do not work if installed to SD. Go to settings, applications, manage applications, and choose the app and see if on SD. If it is, choose move to phone.
You might see if those keyboards are also on SD.

I suggest you install CM10 Beta. It is far superior to 7.2 now. I'm using SwiftKey and can report excellent performance. My signature shows my Nook's configuration.

I flashed on my Nexus 4 Google's factory images, yeah, the animations are cool and pretty fast but Google makes me have to use Google+ for example.
I don't use it and don't need it, but If I uninstall Google+ I can't use Photos, and It is the only gallery app on the device..
What can I do?
I just want the old Gallery...
So you are saying that android L sucks just because of that?

Pretty much.
In my opinion, the whole concept of Android is not be tied to 1 thing only, do whatever you want.
And that's really annoying when Google makes you keep an app that you don't need just because it is tied to another app.

You mean the AOSP version, not G+ Photos? Keep an eye out for an apk, or flash one of the AOSP versions of loli. Though I'm not sure if Gallery is present there, but I assume it is.
Wait to CM12

Dont click on Google+? It doesnt force you to do anything with it. Yeah I suppose its annoying if you cant uninstall it but just ignore it and problem solved?
Here's the AOSP Gallery you wanted: https://www.sendspace.com/file/cyym47
Make a folder named GalleryGoogle under /system/app and paste the .apk inside the folder you created. Set the permissions accordingly and reboot(if you're not sure about permissions, check the other folders and .APKs' permissions using Root Explorer). If it doesn't work, you need to do something with the lib files.
i kinda see his point. the first thing i always do when i flash a new rom or in this case stock image is get root, get a app like "root uninstaller" and start deleting all preloaded apps that i don't want like google+ and earth and newsstand, etc. i like a clean OS with just what i want and it doesn't hurt that doing so also free up more ram and system storage
but now i can't do that AS MUCH as i want cuz some apps are link like google+ and photo. Until i find a good 3rd party app that looks good with the OS to replace some linked apps i'm stuck like this
