Darn, you beat me to it! Just goes to show what happens when you stop to update old command files... :p

Don't be too upset..You should see jade's set up. He has like a wall of monitors and computers set up with every forum he is a member of open and set to refresh every 2 seconds with each forum having a different sound for when they get updated.

He has mastered the art of typing with his feet as well, plus he can type and speak two different things which allows him to use his Voice to text software he has set up on all his machines.

It's actually a pretty impressive set up he has. This is actually an image of his work area.

How is everyone's battery life in this 2.51? Are there any amazing kernels that seem to be working great or is the supplied kernel giving the battery life people are happy with.

I'm really not sure why the Footprints widget isn't showing up, but I have a solution - you can just install it from this post. I would delete it from /system/app first, though.

Since the ROM is odexed, and I wouldn't want to slow down the system by adding any deodexed APKs into the mix, I have a "better" method for installing Footprints, so that it ends up on /data (or your EXT partition, if you're using a2sd):

- Install the Footprints system files (flashable zip attached to this post)
- Download the Footprints app & widget APKs (from this post), and install.
- Done!

That should get you working and uninstallable Footprints. If anyone has issues, let me know.

P.S. As far as Locations goes, the version I'm currently trying to use performs a device ID check, so, while it installs, it Force Closes. If you open the Locations Car Panel, and go to Map Settings, the units automatically adjust themselves from Metric to Imperial, which fixes it in Footprints. But it's a LOT of FC'ing to get there, and the Locations app itself is unusable. I'm going to look for an older version without the Device check, and see if I can get it working a bit more smoothly, for anyone that wants to try it.
Update on Locations - SUCCESS!!

This will follow the same procedure as Footprints above. The only caviat is that there is one APK that must be installed to system, and it is deodexed. Also, in total, Locations will take up about 20MB of space on /system, so if you want to use this, make sure you have ample space there (which you should).

One other thing - this will install a 3rd Car Panel in your app drawer, so you'll probably want to get rid of one or both of the other ones.

So, here are the full instructions (Note: you will need to have installed the Footprints system files for this to work properly. If you choose to keep Locations, the Footprints app & widget can be uninstalled, as Footprints is integrated into Locations):

- Install Footprints system files zip (if not already installed)
- Install Locations system files zip (Direct Dropbox Link)
- Install Locations APKs attached to this post.
- Done!

This will also give you the option in Settings (under Location) to Integrate Google Navigation into Locations, which is highly convenient, since Route 66 isn't free.

Nice work man...Have you ever looked into odexing your apk's? It's actually very easy to do. Here's a link to TT's guide to do it. I've done it a bunch, takes about 2 minutes to do.

Just a thought.

saving great posts

There are so many times when I run across a great post, but I don't have time to do what it suggests. Is there a place on XDA for recommendations to the site? It would be fabulous to have a "save post" button so that when you get back to things several days later you don't have to try searching for a key word you think you might remember.

Just click on the post number on the top-right and that should show just the single post. Then you can bookmark that post with whatever name you like.

I like Read It Later... it's available for Firefox as an extension, some scripts for Google Chrome, and there is, of course, an Android app (free and/or paid versions). One of my coworkers uses Instapaper, but I haven't tried it.

If you click on the number at the top right corner of a post, it will take you to single-post view. Then add it to your Read It Later (or equivalent) list...

There was a great addon for Firefox called Taboo, but it doesn't work with anything higher than version 3.x... :(

HTH,

    4th... huge thanks to pvy for the Miui like battery bar settings app and mod (i added it to tweaks instead of a stand-alone app)
    as always thanks chingy for his debloater addons to tweaks and to mcluvin for the graphics and of course huge, huge, huge props to seo and snq- that made sure a lot of the sense 3.0 apps can be used with sense 2.1.

    Full Change log and Download links are HERE.


    v3.00: (MD5 - 0e5ff2ef1adcd8167c87b8aac2950415)
    Please fully wipe coming from the beta or v2.xx!!!
    Updated Market (v3.4.4)
    Updated all market apps (FB, Flash, etc.)
    Updated Maxthon (v2.3.9)
    Tweaks:
    • Transition/Window Animations Speeds
    • System Font sizes

    • 3 different Lockscreens changeable on the fly (honey/vanila/htc)
    • Tons of fonts to choose from
    • All Htchub apps/widget/skins downloadable (so u wont have to login to htc hub to get it)
    • Various bootanimations
    • Various volume rocker sounds
    • Softkeys light tweaks (on/always on/off)

    • Some apps file names have been changed to work with the debloater app
    • Some apps from data got moved into /system/app/ for the same reason as above (and to save more room on data)

    • Bootanimation file names have changed
    • I think it goes without saying that a lot of smali files got changed (framework and system apps)
    Known Bugs:
    • Long pressing on tabs to remove them will not work.
      I had issues keeping the bounce overscroll and the tabs working together so i decided that it is an "OK" bug to have since most of us never use the long press on tabs anyways and might like the bounce overscroll better.
    • As far as i can tell any other bug is really minor... but ill add to the list as time goes on
    • If its grayed out... its not a bug...

    Added rotation to music lists (artists, songs, etc... not sure how i didnt notice it all this time)
    A few more tiny things... nothing major yet since i dont really have much time to add more and more things.
    Full wipe is always recommended... for those of u that dont want to i will add a patch that will not include market apps or any data apps (flashing the patch will still show v2.59... sorry guys... i forgot to change that)

    v2.59:
    Updated market apps
    New SystemUI Twekas to status bar and removable on the fly quicksettings (long press settings quicksettings or go to settings on the phone) (thanks to One_love_420 for the initial work on this status bar tweaks and of course to romanbb for his tweaks)

    New music mode by One_love_420 to skip songs in any music app by long pressing the vol buttons when screen is off (works with htc, pandora, google music, etc.)
    Full wipe is always recommended... for those of u that dont want to i added a patch that will not include market apps or any data apps.
    * i got used to having the tabs at the bottom of the quicksettings menu so by def thats what u get, i will include a mod to remove them also since u can swtich between them using the topbar.

    Updated Market (3.2)
    Updated market apps (FlashPlayer, SU, etc.)
    Updated Maxthon
    Update theMikMik forums app
    New Rotate animation from android 2.3.5 !!! (when switching from port to land and vise-versa) (that was a fun job to port over btw... :))
    Reverted to older EPST so that it will work for all
    Full wipe is always recommended... for those of u that dont want to... u can garb the system files and push them (frameworks and apks)

    v2.56:
    Updated Market (3.1.6)

    Rebuilt all the odex files which should now be a lil smaller.
    Removed Calks extra kernel profiles etc. to make sure all other kernels wont have issues with it.
    I recommend switching to this version just because indeed your personal info is more safe and it seems like speed improved on 3g and overall in general due to less actions running in the background.
    I did fully wipe... u guys can feel free to try without.

    v2.53:
    Included all patches from 2.52 and 2.51
    Updated all market apps (Gmaps, FB, ES, etc.)

    Updated google's CarHome (u wont see the diff)
    Updated Maxthon Browser (direct links to forums should work 100%)
    If u guys already patched up to 2.52 u guys are in no rush to flash this... its mostly a version to include a few updates and not really to add features.

    Voice search issue should be gone (some had it.. some didnt... i hope all will have it working right now)
    Added the streaming fix to be applied on 1st boot (the ports to 0 etc.)

    Im sure im forgetting 1 or 2 more tiny things... but nothing major im sure.
