rubiX Focused 1.9.5

[trulunacy]

Keyboard keeps fc'ing. Gonna try to fix the permissions on Rom Manager. If that doesn't work, I'm just going to do a fresh install then install the keyboard.

-edit-

doing a fresh install right now

anyone know why voice search keeps force closing even though i took all the steps i needed to take to stop the FCing? lol this was happening in apex for me as well. and i do have voice seach installed from market.

I'm guessing you installed apps and/or data via titanium?
(common issue that comes with restoring apps/data... but can happen from other things too...)

Fix for misc. apps FC'ing is usually just to wipe data/cache for that app:
Menu> Settings> Applications> Manage Applications> all tab> (the offending application):
Force stop, Clear cache, Clear data, then try what you were doing again...
Usually works.

Also, Focused 1.9.5 installs several apps (that CAN be upgraded via market) as part of it's installation... Voice Search is one of them. So, if you go into market, it should have seen that you already had Voice Search installed... and if you restored from backup, as mentioned above, it probably wasn't happy with you.. either way, it should have already been there on a fresh install...

Actually, I installed it using bootstrapper. I just freshly installed 1.9.5 again. I'm going to try to install the keyboard again.

dangit!! lol no it didnt work. Voice search has become a major problem for me lately...which sucks cause i use it quite a bit. i cleared data but there wasnt an option to clear cache. that didnt fix it. then i uninstalled and reinstalled. still didnt fix it. Do you have any other questions for me? and i say that not to be a smart ass but because hopefully i can answer a question u might be thinking of that would fix it, know what i mean?


oh and thanks for the keyboard patch. a lot better than the stock 'mini me' GB keyboard lol

Some people wanted pics. I know it just doesn't do EITHER version justice.. but the default stock home screen (pretty much same for both ROMs), as well as the notification drop-downs of both are posted on sephtin.com.

Just as I thought. Droid X Gallery Mod FTW!! Time for me to go to bed. Good night everyone.

Sent a PM. If we get a fix for this, I'll make sure it gets posted to the thread. I want to be able to recreate the issue, but I don't want to tangent the thread into troubleshooting a single issue... heh.

From Droid X System 2.3.15 to rubiX 1.9.5 - Music Wasn't Working

I rooted my Droid X when I bought it a few months ago. It came with 2.2 on it -- system version 2.3.15. Coming from the original Droid, I absolutely hated (and still hate) the Moto-trocity Motorola added to try to help, but instead ruin, Android, so I settled on rubiX after trying 4 ROMS the first day -- rubiX is by far the cleanest. The version at the time was 1.6 -- I upgraded to 1.9.0 no problems.

The other day, I decided to give Fission a try, as I hadn't tried it before, and I installed it, and reported on the Fission thread that my music wasn't working -- it kept saying "Sorry, the player does not support this type of audio file" no matter what file I tried. We're talking simple MP3 files, CBR or VBR... should have played flawlessly. I got the same trouble when I flashed rubiX 1.9.5, and since I spend a lot of time on campus at my local college, I need my music to work on my phone. I had come directly from rubiX 1.9.0, from the 2.3.15 system version, and I *did* wipe data and cache.

As a means of trying to fix the problem, I backed up my rubiX 1.9.5 system and settings nandroid style, and restored to the stock Droid X rom to attempt a system update -- I had a feeling my kernel was causing the issue since I had never updated to 2.3.40. Most of you would know that doesn't work well since the bootstrapper prevents the system update from going through OTA, or even via update.zip... so I eventually found a 2.3.15 SBF, flashed it with RSD Lite 4.8 on Windows, and then ran the OTA without any problems.

I couldn't get any of the one-step rooting solutions to work, so I eventually tried this manual rooting method involving typing commands into Terminal Emulator physically on the device after installing Astro and unpacking a zip file on the device, and it was successful. After re-rooting, I installed the bootstrap and restored my rubiX 1.9.5 nandroid backup, booted it up, tried the music and low and behold, it worked.

My theory was that something with the radio or kernel that is NOT backed up / overwritten by a nandroid backup or a new ROM zip flash that changed in the 2.3.40 update disallowed my Fission and rubiX 1.9.5 music files from being able to be played. It may not have been that directly, but when I flashed back to stock with the SBF, updated OTA, re-rooted and went back to my rubiX 1.9.5, everything worked as I expected immediately.

I searched the other day for this issue, and found no help, so I thought I'd post my theory, experiment, and results here... it worked successfully.

Thanks drod for this great ROM. It makes the Droid X bearable -- I'd have returned it the second day I had it without a fully de-blurred ROM.
