Ok so before I start to tackle this 100%,I want some thoughts on what I have planned. Ive already made a Frankenstein android bot for the notification backdrop 75% transparincy,on black 50% trans.Ive made several launcherPro icons for the dock.I am also going through each ringtone,notification and alarm and amping them up sound wise and putting an N behind each title indicating it should be used as a notification to increase the sound level just like it was an actual ringtone sound level. Im going to try and keep the theme mostly black,but Ive never been a fan of all one shade of color for all the notification icons,so they will be diffrent,and as the name says,I will pull icons from many ROMs to make this one.I was using Super heroes 2.2.4 as a base,but he has started using Mammons Bonzai4all,so I might switch.But I will tweak it the way I want before I post it up...Any more suggestions or if someone wants to help let me know what you can do,this will not go prime time for atleast 2 weeks,I need to make a boot ani,and shutdown ani,I have the sound bite from Young Frankenstein,Gene Wilder," alive,Its alive,ITS ALIVE" ,look it up,sounds awesome for a startup.And Ive included it as a ringtone,alarm,notification,2 versions for each,one normal,one amped up.
I really want to see how big the interest is for something like this.
I know how fast things get burried arond here,so Ill bump this,wont do that often.But really want to se if there is an interest before I put the real work in...

Ill put some up soon,just got home.Not much to look at yet,no dialer yet.Ill thow some up.
Ok,I was gonna rush some things just to put up an image or 2,but I ran into a snag,and I dont have enough icons made yet to call it my own,,,so Ill keep working on it,I really wanted to see more than 1 person respond,and maybe offer up some icon help,but Ill do it solo,just gonna take more time,so for now Ill keep it under wraps and wait till FROYO drops to see what changes,then add what I have finished.

Just like when someone wants to create a movie, an art director will throw together a few mockups to peak studio executives interest. To get feedback from this forum it might be easier to paint a picture than to tell a story!

If its frankenstein centric, why not use gingerbread theming as a base since its already green

I was also thinking about this aswell,but I really dont want it to be a shading theme,I still want it mostly black with some killer icons,but I like some icons from some ROMs.The main reason behind the name is because I planned on pulling things from several ROMs and have slight hints of Frankenstein.I will have alot of Launcher pro Frankenstein icons,but I want the notification icons to be classy I guess,nothing like a Frankenstein head that lights up 4 diffrent colors and the eyes to be red when its at full strength (I thought about that for like a minute). But all in all I want to provide somethings that no one else does,like amping up notification,alarm, ringtones.I know this can be fixed in a system tweak or kernel hack (not yet),but I figured this would be somthing I could do easily. I will continue to tweak my ideas and make sure I put somthing out that shines.If you want your name associated with this just let me know what you can do,main things I need now are a boot ani,and shutdown ani. Everything else I can do. I could use a high res Frankenstein android bot made up as a watermark for the notification backdrop image,the one Ive made is weak,really weak,but I planned on redoing it over the holidays when I can get some free time. I dont want major fame,just want to put somthing out there. I really want this to be a community ROM with ideas from other people,I dont just want to add what everyone else is adding,but ofcourse some things will be a must have feature,but I got used to the new lock screen now after playing with AOSP lock screen again for awhile.So Ill keep the new Sammy version.I find swiping up is easier.

Ill be releasing my first ROM today,not 100% in regard to all the icons I dreamed up just yet,still getting used to gimp compared to photoshop...What is the best place to host the file for free? Testers wanted...

thanks,,,it will have a black themed market,and black themed miui player,plus some other goodies,but it has been stripped down,and it fast and clean,no FC's at all...I know its late in the game for a DK28 rom,but I would love a tester or 2 before I work on the official update.

I come from the Samsung Vibrant Dev area. A friend of mine has a Droid X and all he does is flash Roms, doesn't know much about them. His phone does a TV like on/off animation when the screen goes on and off. What is that? Where is it located/ implemented. any info on it would be great. As search is down right now i cant search it. I am interested in possible porting it.
The liberty tool box has a bunch of different startup animations to choose from, I'm not sure if the one your looking for is in it but it does have the option to add ones from your SD card. Its meant to run on the x with the liberty rom but if you can port it then it might be a good place to start.
Edit:ah just reread your post you're looking for when it goes to sleep, sorry don't know that one. Sounds cool I'll have to look out for it.

Unless his rom is built on 2.3 I don't think it is. Since that power off tv animation is part of 2.3 and 2.3 only good luck.
I think you might be right but I thought it was a feature he was planning on adding. I did some searching and did find that the ultimate Droid has the feature, here's the link...

Edit: and just because its a feature of 2.3 doesn't mean its impossible to port it.

Hello, I own a epic 4g and I had a quick question regarding the nexus s screen and figured it would be better to ask it here because you guys would know more about it. My girlfriend bought a nexus s and I noticed that colors on the screen are smoother. Is this a UI thing, or is there something different about the screen.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
you can flash a kernel with Voodoo color and it should change it a little bit
Our froyo source isn't going to be out for a while. And I don't want to go back to eclair, so I guess I will wait. Heh, I'm kinda hoping its a GB change though.

Its mainly GB and the GB launcher. You could push the GB launcher and your phone should be just as smooth screen wise, such as scrolling through screens. I came from the vibrant. As far as everything else, I'm not so sure.

This is my first post here, so hello! I have a new Droid X, which I promptly rooted thanks to the helpful posts here. I have put Apex 1.4 on it and love it. My only question is that a quick scan of my local network (on two different machines) shows that port 23 on my phone is open. Not good.
Any ideas why this would be the case? Overlook Fing (available in the market) also shows my phone with an open port 23. Anyone else have this problem, have any ideas about what may have caused it, or how to close it? If it's a standard Linux iptables setup, can I just close it through that?
Both lsof and netstat show nothing (as a matter of fact lsof isn't even found - not part of busybox?).
UPDATE: If this is posted in the wrong spot, can someone tell me where to post it?
Stumped...
maybe a dumb question, but what is port 23?

It's commonly used for Telnet.
That's right. And it should NOT be open. Major security risk. I'm a bit concerned. Anyone else have fing and can tell me if 23 is open on your X too, and if so what rom you're using?
Or can anyone tell me how to close it?

A bizarre new discovery; It's only open when I'm on wifi. Completely closed when on 3g.
Even more confused...

ApeX 1.4.1 Here... Port 23 closed.
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
Wait, are you saying port 23 is knowingly left open on apex 1.4? Because if you are, ummm...that makes me never want to install Apex again (or frankly any other rom). That's essentially a blatant backdoor into my device.
Are you affiliated with Apex in any official position?
Or is all of this mere observation that you're on Apex 1.4.1, and port 23 is not open?

Lol, sorry for the quick response. I was posting with regards to your request for any other users using ApeX to scan and report.
Using Fing, I scanned and it shows closed.
No affiliation. But... When I first read the post I immediately thought of the port being used by the ApeX Toolbox for the connection to the fabdroid server.
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
Thanks. I hoped that is what you meant, and thanks for responding.
I have run the ApeX toolbox, you think that might permanently open up port 23? Have you run it on 1.4.1? Again, if that's the case, I won't be using ApeX, and neither should anyone else, as that would be a massive security breach and huge privacy violation!
Anyone know a way to get in touch with the developer of ApeX? Does he have a username on here?
Hmmm... I'm using Liberty 1.5, but this makes me wonder about port security on other ROMs.
{scurries off to install Fing from the Market}
Well, if nothing else, I hope this makes people think. Installing a custom ROM is really a sacred trust. I sort of just assume that if there were problems 'someone' would know about it. But that may not be the case. Kinda scary really, there is so much of our lives on our phones now.
Let me know what you find out.
As of right now, I am still without an answer...
I know this doesn't really help your quest for why its open much, but im running leaked 3.4.2 and port 23 is closed.
Just came across this, running liberty 1.5 on wifi used network discovery to port scan my phone IP. No open ports. That is kind of scary the amount of trust we put into the developers of these roms. That's why it's good to donate when you come across a real solid one. Liberty 1.5 is the first rom i've ever tried and coming from a stock droid x, i love it. But we kind of crowd source our security when we hope that the hive collective will find something bad and tell the rest of us. Sometimes it works great that way, sometimes it can have disastrous consequences.
@shark thanks for replying anyway. I thought there were a bunch of experts here? A little disappointed that a dev or something hasn't chimed in.

@thejam thanks for replying. I haven't tried anything but apex. Maybe I should switch. I really don't want to blame the rom though unless I know for sure. It is scary though.
Anyone who has used apex and liberty have a good comparison or link to one?
Doesn't anyone use apex??

Can someone please link me to the boot animation that starts by showing apple logo them an android gets built and vaporizes the apple with lightning from his eyes. I saw it yesterday somewhere and now I can't find it I've been looking for hours. Thanks in advance.
