[ROM] TWO roms?? This guy's crazy!

[sephtin]

So I have been running Blurry and love it, but i have been wondering about Focused. I know blur is taken out but I really dont know what that means...what would I be missing?? I think I want to give it a try but would like to know the above please.

Also, would i be able to install Focused through ROM Manager since I have Blurry installed? Or would I have to do the zip method? THanks

Love your work!!

Crap, there is a post either here, or droidxforums by drod, that lists **some** of the stuff that was removed from Focused to Blurry. Search is your friend? (I"m sorry for being lazy and not looking.. fussy baby in my lap. :S

Well basically Blur is almost everything you see and use (well i do thats why im running Blurry) on the droid that came stock with the phone. Mostly being the motorola widgets it came with and maybe a few apps. ie social networking app, toggle widgets, and photviewer. Backup assistant also is removed on focused it might be added now though. If you like how your phone automatically syncs your friends and contacts pics from FB or myspace then i suggest you dont. There are ways around this but its just a hassle. So lets put it this way, your not missing out on anything running Blurry maybe besides the extra memory thats available.

As for flashing it i think you can do do either way but its easy as hell both ways but i like the zip method better but a slight user error can make it hell for your phone.

Pretty good analysis!
Same info from another perspective (I'm a HUGE fan of Blurless!
The blur stuff is also really resource hoggish, and makes it harder to replace a single function. The one thing you can't get without blur from what I've seen.. is the facebook/social stuff/ syncing with contacts. But I personally keep ALL my contact info in my google contacts, so .. who needs this (My facebook contacts are old highschool friends, and family mostly, not the people I'm likely to call, so I totally don't want that crap taking up space in my contacts list!
The for every MotoBlur widget, there is a much better replacement from the market. Of the ones mentioned above:
--toggle widgets = SwitchPro widget
--Social networking apps = dl facebook, etc. from market.
--Photoviewer (gallery? I assume) is actually included with Focused, but I much prefer 3dGallery anyway (which seamlessly integrates with Picasa, which I use for my photos... *shrug*

And regarding which method to install.. either will work fine. ROM Manager will give you check box options for the patches.. vs. having to dl and install them from recovery manually as well.

Either way, you're getting the good stuff. Enjoy!

also currious. if i wanted to add drods black glass theme. what 1 would i choose?

black glass x deodexeerrrr?

black glass x 2.3.15 deodexed

or

black glass x 2.3.15 odexed???

This is the one I used 928DroidBlackGlassX-DroidX-OTA2315-DeOdexEERR-THEME.zip for my droid x

reason i asked was since this rom is already deodexed would adding a deodex theme thats suoppose to auto deodex ur phone for you undo the deodex?

For the little I know about deodex you should be fine.

Really? I was trying to help, and I have to deal with this crap? REALLY?

If you've read almost every post, then I'm sure you read the one that ANSWERS YOUR QUESTION.. which I FOUND after 20 seconds of SEARCHING.
http://www.droidforums.net/forum/droid-x-roms/85190-rom-rubix-focused-0-3-a-7.html#post876033

You're welcome.

EDIT: And.. I just re-read my post, and I believe there's a miscommunication:
I'm sorry I didn't do the search the first time, but my SON was hungry, and was fussing in my lap... so I couldn't do it, BUT I wanted to post, that there have been posts detailing some of the differences between blur and non-blur, that may be helpful. *sigh* If you thought I was calling you a fussy baby.. *sigh*.. then I apologize. I meant no such thing..
...

Edit2: I typed that one handed... so didn't exactly spell it out. bleh, oh well.. if you're just upset because you believed that I called you a baby, then I again, apologize.
However, if you are upset because I referred you to the search button.. then screw you! LOL.. (j/k).

thats is indeed what i thought...appologie accepted (and I probably should have handled it better...Im sorry as well)...sorry for the fussy baby...miscommunications happen...sorry we had ours

Weird.. aren't the pics/videos on your sdcard? weird that you lost them. :S

Re: Music player.. I know Drod is looking into this. I think there have been posts previously that describe putting stock music player back.. I believe that resolves that issue.

 

[jr1125]

Yea so i thought right? Only pics i have is what i had on my homescreen in photo widget (i still have nandroids) but even these pics arent on my sd card. Weird.

Could sum1 possibly direct me to the talk about putting stock music player back?

Running Rubix 0.5 Focused with the Gala X theme. Fast and great battery life...

 

[heathro1281]

does anyone know where the stock "google news and weather" apk is located or named? I want to delete it. It keeps running even if it is killed and disabled in autostarts.

This has all the APK's installed on droidx

And there are other themes that can be made to work, just need to make modifications before or after install. :S

so i thought i saw this question posted here somewhere but i can't seem to find it. sorry if i'm asking it again, but since we mounted the system when we isntalled this rom, is there anything special we have to do before we do a nandroid restore?

thanks

p.s. i really like the rom, i'm asking just in case i need to restore or anything.
