[ROM]One small step for man one giant leap for --- Liberty 1.5 2/2/2011

[sephtin]

No HDMI out support? Why would you cripple one of the best features of the phone? I was enjoying this ROM so much until I found this out. Back to stock :icon_frown:

I don't understand why people want to get rid of blur. If you don't like it use a different launcher. There are a lot of blur elements that just work right for the DX. Hopefully the next version of liberty will give us a choice on what blur apps we want to keep or get rid of.

I don't see why not. In the toolbox you can install the blur camera and blur gallery. How come no DX blur media player that supports hdmi?

Short version:
BLUR based ROMs don't mess with the framework much. They might change out apps, and add scripts, and .. do a few fancy things, but you're still running a ROM based on the Blur framework.

Pretty sure all of the non-Blur ROMs available (including Liberty) use a base for the framework that's from the DroidX Moto SDK, and a few other non-Moto sources (to get some other things working properly)...

It's not that they just "took it out", it's that it simply doesn't work with the framework that the ROM is based on... so they didn't include broken functionality. If the framework can be made to work including some of those Blur features.. someone will probably eventually figure out how, and it may be added to some of the Blur-less ROMs (feel free to fix it and submit a patch... I'm sure almost all of the devs would be thrilled to include it!).

Until then someone does figure it out, you have options... You can either be grateful for a clean, fast, efficient, blur-less ROM (that removes the Blur that moto puts on the phone, or you can run a ROM that's based on the Blur framework.

If that doesn't explain it clearly enough, feel free to PM me for details...
Happy to help if I can...

That was a very good short explanation, maybe the moderators need to put a sticky on the main page explaining the difference between blur and non blur roms. I myself get tired of seeing posts of people who put blurless roms on their phone just to ask for blur features back after install, I cant imagine how nuts the devs. must get! These guys work hard to make these roms please read and ask before you install and if a particular rom doesnt have what you need, Keep looking! You wouldnt buy a corvette and go back to the dealer and ask them to put a 4 cylinder in it, why do you want to take a kick a$$ rom and load it down with blur!

so, i made the jump from gummy jar to liberty. i truly love it! what a nice job.

any recommendations on what to do first now i got it installed?

Well I spent the better part of the weekend in the Liberty Toolbox! I may be a phoneaholic!

how do you change the sensitivity of the sensor so the screen stays off during a phone call?

You can use proximity delay in the liberty toolbox to control how fast or slow the phone comes off of the black screen while you are making calls. I believe the default is set at 150

Thanks. I moved from 150 to 350, and I think that did the trick. Love this rom and the ease to customize.

New Guy here, got the X few days ago. Z4'd, bootstrapped and flashed Liberty. I simply want to say great work!

That is all

So much unwarranted Blur hate.. I don't use it but honestly it's really not that bad. The difference in speed between a blur rom and a non blur rom is practically non-existent.

I'm pretty sure the reason blurless is so popular is because it's basically the only thing that we can do on this phone.

+1 on the blur hate

What little blur I use is great. I have most of it frozen myself when I'm running a different ROM.

This ROM runs amazing for being a blurless ROM, and I like it. But I don't hate blur at all, JMHO.

I made the switch to Liberty pretty easily, but for some very, very odd reason, I cant install the Facebook app from the market. Every other app I install works fine, but Facebook just downloads to 100%, then doesnt install and doesnt show up in my app list....

EDIT: I took the yellow facebook.apk from BigDX's theme and that works perfectly fine, but I would still like to get this issue resolved so I can continue to update through the market in the future.

EDIT 2: Its happening with all the apps. The only reason I didnt notice it was because I got most of the apps I needed through Titanium...But yeah I finish Downloding apps on the market and they dont install...

 

[andylulzyou]

Try rebooting and see if it persists, if make sure all those apps are uninstalled and then clear the data/cache of the Market app.

I am going to respectfully disagree.

I ABSOLUTELY HATE Blur.

I hate the fact that Moto/Verizon took a beautifully designed piece of hardware and crippled it with software. If that is not bad enough, they attempt to lock the software bloat on the phone. It is like buying a sports car with an extra 1000 lbs of unneeded weight welded to the frame. At least when you buy a PC these days with all the bloatware, you can wipe the harddrive and install the software you want from scratch and get the speed you paid for.

Seriously? I went back to blur for a few days when I took the OTA and couldnt stand my phone, it was so sloooooowwwww I was chomping at the bit to get back on a blurless ROM! If blur is so great why are there so many downloads of these custom ROMS? I challenge you to go back to completely stock for a week, Im 99% sure that youll want to throw your phone out rather than keep using blur! Blur is like the darkside of the force!

Quick question regarding the Liberty Gallery. I used to hide files that clogged up my gallery by adding a period in front of the title using Astro Manager, but that appears to no longer work. Now when I use a period in front of a file name, it still shows up in the gallery. Is this known/intended?

If you want to hide media, create a file called ".nomedia" and place it in the folder you want to hide. So for example, if you don't want a folder on your SD card called "pr0n" appearing in your gallery, you would create the ".nomedia" file and place it in the /pr0n folder.

Thanks for the fast response!
