Any chance of adding Exchange Server Admin bypass to this ROM? Several of the ZVC ROMs had it, but so far, none of the ZVH ROMs do...

I'd really love to not be forced to set a pin to unlock the screen...
 
Well I am definitely not an Android dev, but I know enough to make more than average tweaks. I assume this is fine since everyone is here to help each other out...

Now that I have that out of the way I present you with the quick easy way to get toggles in your notification dropdown!!! Simply head on over to the yourmomrom thread and grab the "your moms normal (or center) clock" zip file. head over to recovery and flash the zip. this replaces the systemui.apk file with the one used on yourmomsrom so you get the dropdown menu!!!

I have not noticed any strange side effects from this, but remember that I am not a dev so make sure you do a backup first in case something goes wrong.

edit: I also made a revised Mod%Battery file using the graphics from yourmomrom which are easier to read. I don't know how to sign it, but the file works fine if you turn off signature verification. I can share this as well if there is interest.

One other thing, I cannot for the life of me figure out how to replace the two app shortcuts at the bottom of the screen. I use Dialer One rather than the stock dialer, and I can't figure out how to point the shortcut to Dialer One...

Am I missing something obvious, or is it impossible?

Thanks

Update: Ok, the forums are a lot more silent than I am used to... I have solved both problems, for anyone who is interested. EAS Bypass is solved with the free app of the day today on Amazon: Enhanced Email. Works beautifully and integrates exchange contacts with the central contacts list.

App shortcut replacement is solved by using another launcher, though that is not the ideal (I'm always afraid of losing functionality, or having both launchers running at the same time draining battery and slowing the phone... :P). Anyways, I picked Zeam, which is very functional and quite fast.

Re: [ROM] gROM 1.1.5 - 9/27/11 - GB 2.3.3 - Lets Rock!

I personally haven't seen the GPS off at all. Been pretty accurate for me. Lets see what others have to say about GPS.

Cannot get the GPS to work. Navigation and Maps will not lock onto a signal, rendering Navigation useless... Anybody figure this out? I tried several reboots, a dirty flash, then half my apps disappeared (including Titanium) and the Market would not install anything, because it said there was no space (there was tons of space). So... I tried a couple more dirty flashes until I got stuck in a boot loop and couldn't get past the LG screen, then did a clean flash and started over from scratch. I can boot up now, but GPS still doesn't lock on at all.

Needless to say, I'm pretty frustrated... Is this ROM being actively supported? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

If the ROM is dropped, I will move on.

Thanks

I have no issues with GPS and/or Maps.

Thanks for the reply. My GPS was working fine on Reborn ROM, but searching through this thread, it looks like at least several people have had GPS issues with gROM. Perhaps it was the ZVH update that killed my GPS...

I really like gROM and don't want to have to switch, but if I can't get GPS working...

Update: Tried installing Your Mom ROM, and GPS is still not working at all. Apparently it is a ZVH issue. Dang it! Back to ZVD...

Device-Profile = LG Optimus S
Setup-Method = Netd(master)

That's what I needed to get my wifi tether going...thanks!

Nice ROM, coming from Sprint SERO plan and trying to run Android on HTC Touch Pro 2, this is a dream-that was, well, work.

Bought an Optimus S off ebay for $43 with a custom ROM on it that had hanging/locking up problems. Figured it was a bad flash. Got lucky...after much flashing and gnashing of the teeth, got this ROM working well. I really, really like this little zippy phone.

I had to go to Sprint SERO Premium, but for $40/mo and this little phone, I'm darn happy. Thanks Dev for a great ROM! :cool:

i use gps status it should help you see the sats around
 
I installed everything is working great, except i cant seem to watch youtube videos using wifi keeps saying cant connect to server on the youtube app. When i open up the browser and go to youtube it said this video cannot be played. Everything else is working great. Anyone have a solution? Hmmm doesnt seem to work with 3g either.
 
Deleted the Sense Clock widget by mistake includedwith the rom.

Any way to get that back without re-flashing the rom?
 
I've been loving this ROM, and I just put it on my wife's phone a couple days ago and she's lovin' it too. Thanks :-D.

I just wanted to ask in case you hadn't thought of it: Are you planning to update Flash to 10.3 with gROM 2.3 (or whatever)? I noticed that's out, and I've heard performance can be considerably better than 10.2.

I would use 10.3 in the next upgrade.

While in a call and using Speakerphone I am not able to adjust the volume. It is full blast and straining the speaker. I tried to use the volume rocker to lower the volume and it doesn't work. Any suggestions?

Also I am getting phone internal memory low. I tried app2sd but it seems that I still am so close to the limit. Do I need to erase emails and txt mesages to get more space?

Otherwise works great and fast!

Not too sure why you would get low memory. When you installed did you wipe all partitions clean first?


Yea l think this is it.

Will take a look at use this in next upgrade.

Enjoying this rom more than others that are more up to date. My only wondering is when the next version will be.

IDK, whenever inspiration hits me. I have more than one device and more than one ROM each, not to mention making ROMS is one of multiple hobbies in the arena of technology.

Well I am definitely not an Android dev, but I know enough to make more than average tweaks. I assume this is fine since everyone is here to help each other out...

Now that I have that out of the way I present you with the quick easy way to get toggles in your notification dropdown!!!

That should work fine. Both ROMS are the exact same base so most mods should be interchangeable. The only "real" difference in the two ROMS is the framework-res.apk and the systemui.apk. Also, my ROM has quite a few more system level performance and battery tweaks than your-mom ROM. ANd my ROM references no member of you family at any time ;)

Wow, still no GPS on multiuple ROMS? Hmmm.. What base band are you on? Did you follow the instructions step by step to update to VH and gROM? I can assure you without a shadow of doubt that the issue you are having with GPS is not caused by the ROM.

Im sure by now you have moved on but if not make sure you are at the correct baseband and do a full and complete wipe before install.

That's what I needed to get my wifi tether going...thanks!

Yes, this is a nice little phone when it is utilized properly. Cant beat the deal you have either!

I installed everything is working great, except i cant seem to watch youtube videos using wifi keeps saying cant connect to server on the youtube app. When i open up the browser and go to youtube it said this video cannot be played. Everything else is working great. Anyone have a solution? Hmmm doesnt seem to work with 3g either.

Well, that is odd. Maybe a dalvik and cache wiping may help you on this one. Also, clear you tube app data.

Deleted the Sense Clock widget by mistake included with the rom.

If you change you backgorund to another wallpaper..

How do you get back to the default gRom Wallpaper?

I can't remember where but Scott had posted the file awhile back in this thread. I'd look myself but I'm on my phone.

I have attached the default wallpaper and Sense Clock to this post. Hope you enjoy!


Hey guys, been really busy with some other devices! Just got back over here to check in and it looks like you guys take care of each other in the thread! Glad to see that level of camaraderie!

Thanks

And that's why I wont jump ship on you! Question: Are those system level performance and battery tweaks in the systemui.apk? I just want to make sure I'm not foregoing the benefits of your ROM just for a drop down menu.

Thanks!
 
Hey Scott, I donated a few dollars (transaction ID #157460675X891303T) thanks for your work, keep it up! gROM is great, I just have few issues I don’t think it’s caused by gROM but I wish you can solve it with the next update.

a) Random shut off, my phone randomly shuts off once a day or once in a few days, and I can't turn the phone back on unless I remove the battery for a moment. This is very annoying and I missed some important calls because I didn’t notice that my phone was off

b) Lost call sound through headphone jack, my headset was working fine until Gingerbread update. Lately I can no longer use my headset for calls because the mic doesn't always work. Headset mic works fine with other voice apps on my phone but not for calls and also the headset mic works fine on other phones and devices.
