I'm running Syndicate's Shuriken ROM, and for the most part, I like it. I've found two problems since I've been using it, which may or may not be ROM related. One is in e-mail, any time I've tried to attach a file, the e-mail app FC's. Not really a huge deal, since I don't often attach things on my Epic, but it's there. The other I noticed this weekend, is incoming SMS message timestamps are an hour ahead of actual time, outbound have normal timestamps, so messages aren't threaded properly.
I started with a bone-stock, freshly Odin'd DI18 ROM, and installed the Shuriken ROM, and from there, installed my various apps and settings either from the Market or from apk files. The ONLY other thing I've done to it was installed a battery gauge "theme" that changed how the battery gauge displayed.
Has anyone seen these issues, and/or have any thoughts on a fix?
Should probably post this in the thread for the rom instead of creating a whole new thread for this

I know I've seen this discussed before but I can't find it. Pictures always come as a slideshow instead of just a picture. For the life of me, I can't figure out how to change that, or if I can. Anyone have any input? Thanks
I thought that was just the way it worked on this phone. You mean you can have pictures just display as pictures? tell me more!
Heh. Seems random on mine. Sometimes they come as a slideshow and sometimes as just a picture. Maybe it has to do with the phone or carrier it comes from? No idea.

not really sure if the carrier, or the phone.
i've got a friend that sends me pics from her iPhone, and from her specifically, they sometimes come as one, sometimes the other.
might have to do with filesize?
Weird stuff, its not abig deal...a little annoying though
Since we are on this topic, why do long texts get split up, I was on tmobile and it never did that, I figured it is network related

CDMA (Sprint and Verizon) has a 160-character limit. T-Mobile and AT&T are GSM.
Well, from reading, everyone has a 160-character limit, but many GSM phones just allow you keep writing and it'll split them into separate 160-character messages on the receiving handset. Many phones now just split it automatically, regardless of network, such as our EVOs.
I'm not really all that well-versed on these technologies. Just a stab in the dark here!
Makes sense, I don't know much about either

On CyanogenMod, if someone sends me a single image, it just comes as a picture. I click it, it opens, and I can look at it until I'm done. Which is nice, because I don't have to try to soak it all in in 5 seconds before the one-slide slide show ends! But if someone sends me multiple images at once it is still a slideshow.
That makes sense, maybe ill try a different ron, I've been lookin at vaelpak's latest.

Well the thing is the for some reason HTC did that as feature.like people say but if you tap on the image then look down there is a pause button to see the pic for longer l

Yea I knew that, and there is a save button too. Just curious if there was an option to change it, same with split long messages, that annoys me more than the mms slideshow

Hi, I don't want to bog down the CM7 threads with noob questions. Now that our great DEVs have gotten WiMax working and Epic officially supported I thought I would try CM7 since I was already on MTD. I got it working pretty well but there are some things I miss from TW ROMs that maybe some of you have already got figured out or found an equivalent. I thought this might be a good thread to share tips.
First off the stock email app sucks, can't select to always show pictures so get K9 from the market.
So your long texts don't show up as gibberish make sure to select split sms and turn off split counter. Nightly 16 and up fixes long texts over wifi. Or use GoSMS and set to split long texts in settings.
If you want to record video and need the flash on I found Tjunks video camera in the Market has that option.

Please feel free to share other tips and tricks here. I want this thread to remain noob friendly so if someone asks a question that has been answered 100 times in the CM7 thread please just answer it nicely. Let's leave that thread to Development and bug fixes. Thank you my friends.

As for themes I always hate searching the market, but it is where I end up all the time. Sometimes a Google search makes it faster but not always. There is an app on the market that allows you to sort cm7 themes by price, but I wasn't a fan.
People have mentioned a paid 4g widget that works, but the toggle has been working since a couple nightlies ago. I'm on nightly 10 with shadow kernel and getting great performance and battery.

Have you tried K9 mail (free from market)? I dont use it anymore, but I found that to be the best email app for managing multiple accounts.
You guys are the best! Thanks for the great suggestions. Will get nightly 12 tonight and K9 and check out that theme listing. Will probably just end up modding framework-res myself...that still works on CM7 right? LOL.

Last time I looked at K9 I couldn't get over the ugliness of that app, and it wouldn't work with my email server either for work.

Try Enhanced Email (although I admit I haven't used it with exchange - just to manage two gmail and one yahoo account). Has a widget with #of unread emails and a bunch of customization options (different colored icons appear on the status bar for each of the accounts). I liked this app much better than K9. It's paid but can be had for free on applanet (just not the newest version).

Speaking of noobish questions, here are two - how does one add a speedial and a one-touch search function to the stock CM7 dialer? Haven't figured out how to tie speedial #s to digits, so have been using Big Dialer App for this (but would prefer to stay stock as Big Dialer is ugly as hell). I also miss the TW ability to search through contacts by letter from the dialer screen - now have to hit contacts -> menu -> search which is pretty annoying. Any advice? Would prefer not flashing a theme.

You can search by letter on the dialer screen. Try it.

Side note from previous link I posted. Looks like https://market.android.com/details?id=com.jrummy.list.tmobile.themes. Is a more convenient way of browsing these themes from your phone

Deca himself! (bowing down) thank you sir for all of your amazing work.
Yes, the T9 contacts search option works pretty well... needed to select search T9 in dialer preferences.
I found a thread with a way to implement speed dial without getting rid of stock CM7 dialer here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1369776
It's a market app. Unfortunately, it is either this speeddial app or the t9 contacts search option - T9 search has to be unchecked for it to work. There is no long-press function for this app, it is very no-frills. While it is not a make-or-break feature by any means, but it would be nice to have a long-press speed dial option baked in a future nightly (so it could coexist with T9 contacts search).

If you run multiple accounts in k9 like I do, go into account settings for each one. You can set it to show pics after clicking (default, yuck), only from contacts, or all, among many other settings you will want to personalize.

OK so I hope I can describe this well enough so that you know what I' talking about. Whenever I get a text message or miss a call and my phone is locked and screen off, and then I come back and wake my phone, it ALWAYS goes to this default screen that shows who the text/missed call is from (and for texts, it will actually show some of the text message). How do I change this, or is there not a way to change it?? Thanks to anyone that can help!

Sure. I don't know about the calls, but the texts I can help. Open up the default messenger. Hit the menu and touch settings. In there you'll see some goodies. One of them will address your text concern.
Hello everyone!
I just updated my Nexus 4 to Android 4.4, but it seems there has changed as good as nothing. (I was running Nova Launcher when I was updating, if that is relevant).
I don't find any of the new functions of the new android version: normally you can just swipe from the left to acces google now, but not on my Nexus. Everything seems to be just like android 4.3: the appdrawer, the homescreens, ... There are only a few things that have actually changed: the icons, the settings menu and the lockscreen.
I thought the problem could have been that I was running Nova Launcher while installing the update.
Does someone know what I can do to have the full Kitkat experience? I've already deleted Nova Launcher by now and the stock Launcher is set as default.
Could a clean install help me out?
PS: I can post some screenshots later if my explanation here isn't clear.
Thanks in advance!
Are you sure you updated? And are you sure you set Google search as your launcher in the launcher settings?
Sent from my N4, wanna know what I am doing? Check http://team-fun.eu
Search for and install Googlehome.apk
Nexus 4 KitKat update is different from Nexus 5. For example 4 is missing the new Google Experience launcher, transparent lockscreen. For GEL just install Google Home. For full transparent lockscreen flash this fix http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2527525.
Also if you like Nova launcher, join Nova launcher beta group on Google+ and became a tester. Nova beta supports transparent bars (you need enable it in settings).

I'm not sure why you bothered ether since we are both technically in the right.
Forget search it's lately almost always at the top of general (excluding sticky threads). If you can find how to post a new thread I'm sure you can find a highly active thread in general.

It's just that the constant “use the search” type of replies are about as effective as the war on drugs. You can take a dealer or user off the streets, but that will not do anything to actually impact the level of drug use or distribution. Likewise, there will always be people who don't use the search, so why not just ignore them so the thread dies, or actually offer a helpful response.
I'm more in the right. But that's probably because I'm awesome.
