Okay Fab,

Switched to your set-up, how has battery been treating you?

I really liked Koush, but I will give this a shot..

Go back to page 2 of this thread. There's an explanation on how to fix it there. I suggest getting root explorer from the market as it works the easiest for this fix. If you still need help let mek now.

Edit: It's actually on this page just some posts up by Fab.

Thanks to fab and you. maybe i should start reading more thoroughly.....

 

[toker11]

any ideas?

Sorry, there is no nandroid for this release. I only put out an update.zip. I thought you were refering to the nandroid of my NexTheme 0.9.

I think what you did was unzip my update.zip. That won't work if you try to restore with nandroid.

I suggest just using the update.zip method, but being sure to do a factory reset, and if you can adb, also make sure you:

adb shell
format SYSTEM:

So why did I get a system update notification from VZW with this?

How do I block it from prompting

 

[Fabolous]

oops, looks like I forgot to delete otacerts.zip from /system/etc/security.

That's the file you need to delete.

No problem.

Off topic but I was just listening to the NY vs Boston game thru MLB at bat and surfing the web and my phone had its first reboot. When it came back on I looked at my temp and it was at 114

Ok, download the update.zip file. Go into astro file manager and rename it to update.zip , move it to the root of ur sd card, then power off, hold x and power back on into recovery. If u are using spr recovery, scroll down to allow update.zip, and then install update.zip. And that should about cover it.

I am running this and have not got a system update message yet....
But I have just ran into a problem with this rom, it seems my maps will pull up, but when I try to use the navigation, it force closes.

Ran into the Maps FC issues today, as I was trying to theme the new update that was pushed out today. I'm kind of in a hurry right now, so for now, if you want the newest Maps, or have issues with FC's from directions/navigation, I've updated the OP:

BUGS
-If you're getting a FC in Maps while getting directions or trying to navigate, this is the fix:

su
mountsys
rm /system/app/Maps.apk
rm /data/app/com.google.android.apps.maps.apk
reboot

*Ignore any errors about if one of the above .apk does not exist.

After the reboot, go to Settings, Applications, find com.google.android.apps.maps.apk and 'uninstall'

Then, reinstall Maps from the Market. No more FC's.

hey fab. this theme is sweet and smooth. flashed with chevy 7 slot and running nice good job!

 

[-=Jeff=-]

I have to say I am happy with the 16 hours so far and 60% battery still left

voice calls were only about 16m though

Anybody else having problems w/ Helix Launcher and this ROM? I'm getting several FC's a day, just randomly when opening up an app or going back to home from an app. Getting lots of home screen reloads also. Other than that, this ROM has been quite good. I've got lots of widgets running, and I run Executive Assistant widget on the main home screen, so I don't know if that has something to do with it.

 

[-=Jeff=-]

No FCs here, but I have seen a couple slow reloads of the Launcher

 

[PhilosoRaptor]

I'm running this ROM with absolutely no issues so far. My only question is what widget is that weather widget pictured above?

Thanks!

It is part of Beautiful Widgets... it is a paid app available on the market.

[toker11]

2. when i try to use some of the live wallpapers i get FC. they were working before i did the su, switchlwp. any way to "undo" that?

 

[jlinn75]

Does anyone know how to change icons... I want to change to the stock marketplace icon?

 

[Benny879]

Hello all....I came up with a Weather Widget clock theme for this ROM. Hope you all like it.

Download: nex_clock.zip

How to install:
1. Download .zip file and save to your Weather Widget skin folder
2. Install the skin!

Hey Fab...again nice work on the rom. I finally played with NexBeast and now I'm running this rom. This is actually the first ESE81 ROM I have played with (other than the "stock" release) and I am pretty happpy with this! Looks great too!...the NexTheme is growing on me.

 

[Fabolous]

Use Metamorph (it's available in the market), and download the .zip for the stock market I posted in the first post.

Put that zip into the folder 'androidthemes' on your sdcard. Then metamorph should see it and it will change the icon for you.

On another note, I may be releasing a slightly updated version of this ROM soon. I'm going to remove Maps and Facebook from the /system/ partition, since updates to those apps will give people some issues.

I'm also hoping to include some other goodies

 

[Fabolous]

Alright, the new version is up. The important differences are as follows:

-Maps is no longer included. Get it from the market. This should eliminate all FC issues.

-I'm using P3Droid's kernel by default now. It allows for Wired tethering, as well as wireless. It defaults to 600MHz, so no boot loop issues, but goes up to 1GHz. More of his kernels can be found in the OP.

-I've included a skinned HTC_IME keyboard by default. You can enable it by long pressing any text entry field and 'select input', then 'touch input'. IMO, it looks really nice. Credits will be posted in the OP for the creator.

-I yanked the black Mms.apk from Cyanogenmod. It's the default program with a dark background, as well as custom notifications, etc. Eliminates the need for Handcent for me, at least (no pop-up though, if you need that).

I think that's it...

*Screenshots have been updated for the new keyboard and mms
