Root [Rom][5-3-12]Broken Out Rom 2.0

DroidzforLife · Feb 15, 2012

Is there anything I can do to help development on this ROM? I have alot of "themeing" experience and some basic java knowledge. I would love to help since I have this pantech breakout and will probably have it for a while.

Most definitely, I believe we all would appreciate cool customized themes. Maybe going back to the beginning of this thread by messing with the animations of the ROM. Anything really I believe would be appreciated. Post it here and we may all try out the alterations to the ROM, and if we like them I would not see why not we wouldn't keep them on our device

. Oh the Power setting widget, if you could look into that I and a couple of others would appreciate that

. I have but have been unsuccessful when trying.

As far as the freezes go, I have had issues with those. But I have been using Autokiller Memory Optimizer to kill things before playing a game or something that requires a larger amout of memory. That seems to be working for me.

Now for something completely different... Has anybody been having issues using Bluetooth? I've been trying to connect to Ford Sync via Bluetooth and it's had issues finding and pairing to the device.

Also, when I try to connect my phone through Bluetooth, my phone's clock stops (in the status bar). Also my clock widget (Band O'Clock) shows a completely different time as well, could be 10 minutes off of what the system clock is (but still not the correct time).

Thanks for the update of freezing, by that I mean finding an app that we can use until the problem is found and fixed

.

Now for the issues of bluetooth I have not had a problem yet, weird as it sounds a good friend of mine has a Ford with bluetooth capabilities. I have made calls through it and played music through it as well. I'll look into it for you though so if you don't have the time I'll repost with a follow up

On the clock I have no idea where to start but most likely trying to find a new clock widget, i.e: Simi Clock Widget, or Beautiful Widgets :S.

Question what do you have your parameters in this app set to? :eek:

I have my parameters set to:

Foreground ap: 6
Visable app: 8
Secondary Server: 16
Hidden app: 60
Content provider: 70
Empty app: 80

But before I run any heavy programs I kill process manually. I normally kill ones using a larger "oom" value. That makes things pretty zippy.

I flashed 1.0 and set up adw as my launcher. I see overall improvement in how this phone handles it's business. If I could only get the usb drivers and windows 7 to agree I would transfer 1.1 over and flash it too. For some reason my pc.recognized the phone the night I rooted it, but that is the only time some my gf purchased it.

I could probably help with some coding. I've done some c++, vb , java but never on a mobile platform.

also do you think this phone has enough support for mini to developer a rom?. I ask because I run mini on my d2 and my girlfriend keeps bugging me about wanting it lol

The Driver is right here: motorola_end_user_driver_installation_5.2.0_64bit.msi - 4shared.com - online file sharing and storage - download
Go ahead and try a re-install and it should work just fine.
The part about the mini, i'm kinda confused, the sentence doesn't flow correctly I believe you are missing a couple of words in there. But let me give it a shot; if you are asking if the developer supports this ROM enough to make a ROM for the mini, than yes he does. Will Matt do it? IDK, you will have to PM him about that one, @mttmichaelson.

Jaguar115125 · Feb 18, 2012

You may know as I do now having this phone for a couple of months that the sound, its pretty crappy :mad:

. But thankfully the Kernel Matt used in the ROM is supported by Volume+ app. My Sound Quality has jumped through the roof

, giving me a better experience on this phone. If you to are bugging about sound crappiness, than go try Volume+, hopefully you will buy it because it has so many more features :eek:

!!!!!!

P.S: Expect a new theme for this ROM, I have been altering and trying it out for a week now. A couple of adjustments and hopefully you will love it!!!

basoodler · Feb 19, 2012

I ment miui rom not mini. she likes the themes hehe.

I got 1.1 flashed last night and its working nicely. The phone is not lagging with general use as it was before the rom. The only bug I've run into after a quick look is the power control widget. The boot process seems to take a bit more time. Its not really a big deal, it just had me worried that I was in a boot loop the first couple times I rebooted.

1.1 keyboard is a nice change

2 questions though.

How hard would it be to incorperate theme chooser? I figure it has to do with the launcher used, just don't know how hard it would be to replace the ics launcher with a moded cm7 launcher. (If that is what is involved).

Are there any free lock screen changers aside from the Go package? The GO launcher seems to be heavy on memory with all the crap you have to download and install.

i noticed the problem. the app does not recognize the carrier:broken out

yo dev i think the carrier name should be named default. maybe that will fix the problem.

I think that's a good catch. I noticed yesterday when I fixed my ex-wife's Breakout with Broken Out 1.1, it says "Broken Out" on the home screen where it would usually say "Verizon".

I hope there is a 1.2 release soon with some bug/fc fixes (like changing Wallpaper), but I have to say that this ROM is smooth, and absolutely necessary for anyone using a Breakout. Great work, and please don't take any comments regarding functionality or bugs you see here negatively. We need you!

Answers to Questions

1. Instead of using the ICS launcher provided in the ROM we have found out that it easier to use ADW launcher. Using themes on that extremely easy. The ICS launcher on the ROM has issues working with our phone so I did a trial and posted about the best launcher to use earlier on. Just scroll up a bit you should see it in an earlier post

.

2. There are a couple but the best is Widgetlocker *Not being free*, shelling out the couple of dollars for that is way worth it

. Back to your question though as for the free ones I personally would go with either MiLocker or MagicLocker

basoodler · Feb 20, 2012

I settled for magic locker

adw is what I'm using and works well.

I must say thank you for your work with this. I have no idea what Pantech was thinking putting so little front end memory on a phone that was obviously going to be heavily bloated by the carrier to keep retail prices down. Either way, you guys did a hell of a job making the phone better.

I did find that the os does not play well with dolphin browser.. Which is no big deal because you can us the default browser. Dolphin will lock the phone up pretty quickly.

Do not use the full version of Dolphin use Dolphin Browser mini, much nicer than stock browser and is faster as well. Our device is very capable of using this.

I know this is a rom thread but does anyone know how I can get the cwm to properly install, it keeps getting stuck installing recovery and wont finish so I can move on to the root. I'm trying to root the Breakout and keep getting stuck no matter which one I use.

basoodler · Feb 21, 2012

I used the script that is posted in this forrum to root.. it was fairly painless after I got my pc to recognize the phone

NUNNYA · Feb 21, 2012

Bas are u talking about the allinone Breakout root?

basoodler · Feb 21, 2012

Yea,

I really had no trouble with the all in one script aside from the 64bit usb drivers not installing from the phone. I still have trouble connecting the phone to my laptop..

breakout · Feb 22, 2012

I was wondering if somebody would be willing to make a miui ROM because I really like the interface and I would love to have it on my breakout ... I saw a thread about making it for any device on any device but I'm not real tech savvy so I would rather have someone one experienced to try. Thank you in advance for any effort put into this ROM

rabidhunter · Feb 22, 2012

In my previous posts, I had commented about not being able to connect my Bluetooth, that issue has somehow seemed to resolve itself. Here's hoping.

I was having the boot looping before so I reinstalled the ROM per the directions posted here. I was getting some problems with the SD unmounting randomly and causing some issues. Then I was playing some music later last night. The song would play a couple of seconds and loop to the beginning ad nauseum. I tried exiting the music player, but the home screen was flashing. I was first using Songbird, but then I tried again using the stock music player and the issue was still happening. Anybody know anything about this issue?

basoodler · Feb 23, 2012

We are getting random blank screened. Last night it was while using navigator. The screen just goes black with lumination so you can tell the phone is on. You have to battery pull to reboot.

I fixed permissions last night so we will see if that helps

Sure I'll take a look at it for you, just give up to about 3 weeks or so, ok? I have been really bus lately and don't have much time, I'll look at it though

I do not know anything of this issue, as I have not had it and I use music all the time. It could be a back application using some permission or malware messing the device up, but I'll take a look for you send me a .zip of your phone ok?

I had that once but it was during the initial flash of the ROM. I have no idea what is going on there if you could pull your phones Log then I can take a look, just send me that info, thanks

did you ever get that theme done on the breakout lol i am really interested!!

basoodler · Feb 24, 2012

I will copy the log as soon as she gets home and PM it. It hasn't really done it after I fixed permissions.

On a side note teather (by rom manager) works with the breakout (I think I am allowed to note that due to a rule change)

I also got vnc working via wifi. I am having trouble doing a localhost connect (5901). I kind of want to use it for projecting thre screen onto my laptop for netflix lol.. any better options?

I have got the theme done, everything is up and running, but using it for about a week now I have found a couple of major issues I'm working out. I have been really busy so it might be about a week or so.

Which Permissions? This could help with the over all developing of the ROM
