Will we see 1.9.7 soon??

Yes. Only have a couple things left to do, which are giving me fits. Once those are resolved, it will be released

Has anyone had any issues syncing their contacts with facebook? It seems all of my contacts are linked to their accounts, but only about half of them show profile pics. Any ideas how to fix this?

LOL, as Droid74 pointed out, I would love to answer this one. My answer: read the FAQ for how to fix this

Rubix 1.9.5 is the first rom and only I have ran.
Just out of curiousness, when 1.9.7 comes out will I be able to install over 1.9.5, or is this a wipe data and install type of update?

For the record, this rom has fixed my biggest issue with stock. Push email. on the stock rom my email worked "sometimes" and that was unacceptable. but Rubix fixed it for me, and then some.

Thanks for your work it is appreciated.

Glad that it's working, and that you're enjoying it!

SOMETIMES, between versions, you can get by without wiping data/cache.

Between 1.9.5, and 1.9.7, there are changes in the framework that will require a wipe again.

Cool, thanks! Good to know these things.

I was just trying to mess with the scripts, the one to add the droid eye live wall paper keeps throwing an error for me. I used terminal, and su, the dxeye -rs and get the error
'failed on '/data/rubix/DroidEye.bak' - Cross-device link'

I guess if 1.9.7 is coming out I won't worry about it not really needing the wall paper, I was just trying out some of the scripts.

Scripts were included, but probably not thoroughly tested. That should be fixed in 1.9.7.

Well Thanks again, after running stock for 2 months, it was time for change and I am glad I did. Not really missing blur other than radio and pandora fixes that

Looking forward to 1.9.7 and now that I know I will do a fresh install, I will tinker more before it gets here hehe.

Has anyone had issues with PowerAmp? When comparing PowerAmp and the default media player, the default media player is quite a bit louder than PowerAmp at the same volume setting (tested with EQ off in PowerAmp).

Could this be a ROM issue or is it a PowerAmp issue? Or is this normal? I like how the default media player sounds over PowerAmp.

Just a hunch, the Android 'mv' command doesn't like going from one device(partition) to another. Try doing:

export PATH="/system/xbin:${PATH}"

and then running dxeye -rs. That should cause the commands in dxeye to use the busybox versions if they exist (like 'mv') over the Android versions.

(For what it's worth, I tested this. It should work =P)

Self-quote =P

For what it's worth, most of the scripts in Rubix will hit this issue to some degree if the PATH of the user has /system/xbin near the end, like most do (quicksshd does that for example). It might be a good idea to add an:

export PATH="/system/xbin:${PATH}"

line to most of the scripts provided by Rubix.

Just my 2 cents =)

2 Bugs, please fix... :-(

Don't mean to pester but these two issues are still present:
1. Landscape mode for "current call" window still not happening when on car dock. For such an awesome ROM, this one feature definitely should be easy enough to get rid of. :-(

2. Camera crashing when in video mode. While the video works from a fresh reboot or after clearing cache/force stop, it would be nice to not have to do that anymore.

Otherwise, this ROM just gets better and better all the time. TY TY TY!

This issue is a limitation of the phone.apk that is used. By chance, the phone.apk used in 1.9.5 IS different from 1.9.0.
From the phone app, go to Menu> Preferences> scroll all the way down to "Enable sensor rotation", and check the box.

NOW, it won't have a dialer by default, but if you press in the text field, a mini one will pop up.

I know it's not perfect.. but until someone has a better dialer that works with
the non Blur framework for the DroidX.. this will have to do.

2. Camera crashing when in video mode. While the video works from a fresh reboot or after clearing cache/force stop, it would be nice to not have to do that anymore.

Wierd. Video player included with 1.9.5 has some issues... hopefully fixed in 1.9.7...

Thanks! That did the trick. wow I learn something new every day.
