Root [Themed ROM] NexBeast V1.1 (updated 5/27/2010)

[Fabolous]

Hope your dont mind Fabolous...I themed the search widget for LauncherPro and grabbed the NexThemed Twitter app from Manup. Here are the screen shots and downloads. You'll have to adb push these over to system/app

LauncherPro 0.4.2: com.fede.launcher.apk

Twitter.apk: Twitter.apk

I don't mind at all, that is awesome looking!

I hope you don't mind if I include these in the next version

Yo Fab, I've been using your ROM for a little over a week now and it's great!

I do have a few questions though:

I noticed that the lockscreen icons are opaque when in portrait mode and transparent when in landscape. Was this a stylistic decision or a minor glitch? I don't really mind it too much, but I would rather they both be the same.

Another thing that kinda bugs me is that the icon for the marketplace is an HTC themed icon. I don't have anything against HTC, but I think it looks out of place on my droid and would like to change it.

Dont mind at all...I noticed this morning that there is a 0.4.3 LauncherPro and 1.0.1 Twitter app out now. I'll theme those tonight and post them up here. There's a couple other stuff I want to work on also that may go with this theme

I dont use ADW but if anyone wants the search widget themed for that app I can provide it.

What version are you using? I thought he dropped the HTC market icon awhile ago. I'm on 1.1 and its the standard market icon for me.

I'm on 1.1. That's the most current version right?

My Droid has been doing random reboots lately. Anyone else have this?

Love this rom, it's great, and haven't yet decided between LP and ADW.
However, after running it for a while, I stopped being able to "add to home" the icons for folders I have in Apps Organizer. It won't create them. I temporarily solved the problem by switching launchers to LPbeta, but it only lasted a few days, then I had same prob. Switched back to ADW, but it still doesn't work there.

Any ideas on this?

thanks,
rlr

ps: can't add them w/ better cut either

I don't know much about that app, or bettercut. I think they were designed for the default launcher, so it's not guaranteed to be 100% compatible with these third party replacements.

Thanks! Glad you're enjoying it.

Hot off the presses....Themed LauncherPro 0.4.4

com.fede.launcher.apk

 

[johnlgalt]

Holy crap you're fast - this update was just released....

haha....I had just finished theming 4.3 when I saw the 4.4 update in the market. It's a biotch to keep up with these updates lol

 

[flex_droid]

Just FABOLOUS! This ROM is great! So far everything is working. I am yet to install the updated baseband and the 2.2 Kernels.

Great Job Fab!

I am a rooting neeb (full disclosure).

I am on my 3rd ROM. First was BB 1.1 w/Nex theme (pretty, smooth and fast at 1Ghz). Then CM 5.0.8 (Not as fast or pretty but 40+ more megs of memory!). Now I am using NexBeast 1.1 (1.2 Ghz kernel, everything running smooth).

The only problem I'm having is using scripts. When I open Android terminal Emulator and type "su" and hit enter, it brings up an "Edit Text" dialog box with the options to copy or paste and it won't let me proceed.

I have uninstalled the emu and then re-installed but no luck.

Am I doing something wrong? Can I run scripts using Root Explorer and how? Is there another emu you would recommend?

All I really want to do is get rid of some of the native apps to free up some memory. Should I just use root explorer to do this?

Thanks for your replies.

 

[Lars1]

I got an answer (long press the enter key).

Thanks all

Figured out my issue...never mind.

Absolutely love the Rom. It was my first custom ROM ever! I rooted my phone long ago to force an early Froyo an for the wireless tether, but this is the first time ive really started to explore the possibilities of my phone.

Anyways the links on your front page for the Kernels seem to be down, so I went directly to ChevyNo1's page and tried out a new one via Clockwork Mod. I got the endless boot loop of death. I am not very knowledgeable about kernels and was wondering what you would suggest for me to try/do that would be the fastest and most stable one. Thanks for your help and keep up the good work!

I would suggest a Gingerbread ROM, or at least a more modern Froyo one. This thread is long dead, and the OP doesn't use his Droid any longer (but I do believe he still has it). I would suggest going to the Droid - ROMs section and exploring all the possibilities there. Droid has come along way since this thread was created.

well that makes me a sad panda thanks for the info

Ok s you were right. I am running the 2.3.2 gingerbread and upgraded to a 1.25 Kernel. I cant believe how much faster this thing is. I cant wait to try out new ROMs and themes. My question would be if there was a collection of the different types. I really wish there was an easier way to view a gallery of the themes and features. Its a little tedious the way it is now.

 

[Munk]

OK I am now running Liquid GB. I cant see ever getting better than this. disregard the last post. I am extremely happy

Glad to hear it, but every time you think the Droid can't get any better, a dev gets a hold of something new and wham, the Droid does better. Remember to make a back up, and try new ROMs. See ya round the forums.
