DarkSlide V4 - .340 ROM - Style, Quadrant, Linpack Champ

[Porterhouse0]

is it still the 'mini me' version or has the size been tweaked like other GB keyboards to make it a little easier to use?

It is what I have used for awhile and have liked it, it gets better with use but Im not married to it. I don't like swype and am no fan of the stock board either. Any suggestions?

Well, I agree with you on that- I hate Swype and the stock Multi-touch keyboard...but I love the Gingerbread Keyboard...

Well, you didn't really specify exactly what was going on with SwiftKey, other than that it wasn't working...were you using the free trial? Perhaps your free period expired?

At this time, the only suggestion I have is: check out the Gingerbread Kryboard...I posted a screenshot on page 1 Post 3... I can give you the link if you are interested...

I never experienced a "mini me" version, though I do recall that some had issues with GB keyboard shrinking on them when the firat GB keyboard was released...I think that was corrected within xa few days though...this one is quite lovely...check screenshot from post 3 on page 1...

Not entirely sure what you're asking for... you installed the clear sliders and want to go back to visible ones? Or you want to disable the lock screen entirely?

Lots of reading would be recommended first. Make sure you have clockwork and the droid x bootstrapper installed and make sure you make a nandroid backup before you try to flash it.
1, backup
2, bootstrapper option 1
3, bootstrapper option 2
4, navigate to the 4.1 darkslide version you chose and install it.
5, reboot
6, use bootstrapper again after you get things going again to update to the 4.2 (you must have 4.1 installed first and be sure to match versions based on blur).
Also make sure your phone has the correct version of the ota. If it is not matched, you'll have to get more technical yet.

is it ok that it shows 4.1 under about phone even though i KNOW FOR A FACT im updated to 4.2?

Hey guys, just rooted my X today and installed 4.1 (upgrading to 4.2 and the DS Marketplace right now) so I'm new to custom ROMs. So far, this ROM is kick ass. Upgrade my Quadrant score from 7xx to 1336. Just one problem so far

I might have read this in the thread (read to about page 32 or so), but I don't really feel like going back and looking for it. I tried to download an App. (Battery Life specifically) and it downloaded fine, but it didn't install... well, it did, or so it says, but it's not in my app bucket nor can I open in via Marketplace. I have tried a reboot, but that didn't work. Any solutions?

Also, how can I OC my droid X (Yea yea, I know what you guys think about it, useless, battery drainer, etc.). IMO, it's always good to know how, and I would like to know. SetCPU only lets me go up to 1Ghz. I read somewhere about installing different kernals, but haven't found much information on it.

EDI:

Shows 4.2 to me. Try re-installing it?

EDIT 2: D'oh, I'm an idiot. Didn't realize it was only a widget. Move along, Nothing to see here, this ROM is awesome, etc. etc.

Installing different kernels cannot be done on the DX due to the locked bootloader...to OC on this device (which is entirely unnecessary with DarkSlide BTW, LOL) you need JRummy16's OC app...

Did you install any keyboard from the DS4.1 OP?

#1- check your system version to be sure it is 2.3.34 (you can find this in settings>about phone)
#2- install Droid X Bootstrapper
#3- download DarkSlide4.1 (blur or not that's your choice) and matching 4.2 update, and DarkSlide Market zip.
#4- place these zip files on your sdcard (if you downloaded directly to phone they are already on your sdcard )
Then:
-in Bootstrapper
Bootstrap Recovery
Reboot Recovery
-in Backup and Restore
Backup (better safe than sorry!)
-back to main Recovery
-in Mounts and Storage
Mount system
-back to main Recovery Menu
Wipe data/factory reset
-install zip from sdcard
Choose zip from sdcard
select DarkSlide 4.1
Install
-back to main Recovery Menu
-install zip from sdcard
Choose zip from sdcard
Select 4.2 update
Install
-back to main Recovery Menu
Install zip from sdcard
Choose zip from sdcard
Select Black-Market update
Install
-back to main Recovery Menu
Reboot
Enjoy

This procedure combines everything to get you running DarkSlide 4.2...I hope that helps PM me if you need assistance i'm always glad to help...

Gotcha...just reinstall the DarkSlide 4.2 update. This will bring you back to the trace sliders...
