[APP] Revolver Parts (Official Thread) | DEAD :(

gnufabio · Nov 2, 2011

Hi guys, since the combo of Revolver Rom and Revolver Parts had a great success here, I decided to start up this thread.

This thread is intended mainly for:

Report bugs
Ask for help
Features suggestion

Notice that this app will work only if you are using the Revolver ROM!

But let's start with some screens*:

Features:

OTA updates
Plugins download client
Lot of settings for system
Organization of the downloaded files in folders
A rich help tab

Licensing:
Revolver ROM, Revolver Parts and Revolver plugins (the one done by me) are distributed under Creative Commons 3 BY-NC-ND license. If you want to use a part of my work, please send me a PM and ask for permissions.
You may not use ROMs component, Revolver Parts plugins and other stuff done by me working hard hours without asking for permission, that's it.
More details on the license:

Changelog and links in the second post.

Suggestion

Make directories configurable: each section could has a field where choose directory's name.

Question : What is the advantage of 'Defragment on boot'?

megacoolrock · Nov 2, 2011

that would be cool if u could get a way to play .gif as wallpapers

Sent from my Transformer TF101 using xda premium

The defragmentation on boot remove void spaces in the databases in /data/, thus they size is reduced, but the boot time will increase.

Can be inserted a sort of live chat (IRC) that can allow to ppl that using Revolver Part to comunicate in real time for problems or other? This client could be started only by user's needs (i remember that for example Jdownloader have a plugin inside that allow to enter in a dedicated chat room for speech to Devs or other users).

That's exaggerated for a simple simple App like Revolver Parts, there's already xda for asking for help and for reporting bugs

lol but also StarTrek Technology was exaggerated years ago ^^ i suggest to insert a plug that allow Revolver's user to communicate to each other in a sub-community reserved for Revolver ROM

in this case ppl that have simple problem can ask on chat without re-write same things in the main topic on XDA

directories for downloads for a mod be in /ClockWorkMod/mod/file.zip , them- /ClockWorkMod/theme/file.zip
also these should be configurable and delete the all zips on sd or a selective one in the clockworkmod folder

for apps
a market selection, honeycomb market, or stock...
screen calibration

Being able to download the full flash able rom within the app would be nice. Along with downloading updates, I always make sure I have a full version on hand in case something goes wrong.

But because of the "download failed" bug, downloading the flash able full from is all but impossible from my tablet.

If the Galaxy Tab 10.1 ebook reader gets ported over and added to other you will officially be the best person ever gnufabio

Feature Request:

While Its easy to do in CM thanks to the CM tools, I have had to manually change the device name!

Ill be asking this of roach for his Prime rom (come on, I love jumping from release to release checking out the hot-spots before returning

) "Prime Tweaks" as well!

What I currently have to do:
$ su
# getprop net.hostname Android_A100001B6A55CA
# setprop net.hostname RevolverPoweredTF101

In terminal, maybe you could add this somewhere in Revolver parts so I can easily change it from there instead of terminal or some other 3rd party software

[edit] fixed by unistalling markte v3.1.5 and installing v3.3.11

Of course it's normal, if you didn't download them

This thread is about Revolver Parts, not about the problems with unofficial markets

Its the device's DNS hostname (like the computer name setting in Windows). CM7 has the option to change this on the Settings > Applications > Development page. I agree that this would be handy to include in Revolver Parts.

Hammerfest · Nov 5, 2011

gnufabio said:

That string is exactly what it says its for

the HOSTNAME... thought that was a given

But seriously however, the hostname is the name the device presents to other devices on a network! IE If I go to the network area on my WinBlows PC it shows me the PC's on my network and the names associated with them, IE I see Desktop, Craptop, NetCrap, DorimanxPoweredHD2 and RevolverPoweredTF101

You can also see the hostnames (easier IMHO) if you go to your routers status or lan status page (I use DD-WRT so I see it on the SYS-INFO page), IE I see HOSTNAME : IP : MAC : LEASE TIME

The hostname is a commonly used identifier for devices on a network making them human identifiable (and with 5 Android devices in this household, seeing Android_435knl324hn5l324hnln5l32 a few times with just a different following string each time is annoying as piss... hell you could even make a default host name for when people flash your ROM and only the most picky (*me+some others) would notice... or want to change it to something else

Needless to say, if you decided to come up with a default HostName to use on your ROM's Id support it 100%, BUT make sure you have the option in Revolver Parts to rename it to something else incase someone has more then one or is anal (me) about naming schemes!

Thanks again!

Maybe would be nice a sub-category under Themes called "Battery Skins", or something like that, where to put different skins for the awesome battery-with-percentage mod.
Another new feature that you could add is a simple way to let users share their mods to the community, maybe after a compatibility check etc...
Last but non least you could add a "tips & tricks" section with some usefuls mods, like "change screen resolution" "font size" or as said before to set a custom Hostname and other cool stuff....

Thanks for your great work Gnufabio!
