[Theme] 928Droid Black Glass X for DROID 2 !!!
- Thread starter 928Droid

It is as you say, mem-sahib. Google Search Widget is there, and it's themed.
But I don't know why you chose pink for it when everything else is red...
Yeah, kidding again.
Looks great. I don't use a search widget at all anyway - w/a dedicated search key that does the same thing it never made sense to me to clutter up my home screens w/it. But I understand other people love it like a cute little bunny.
It's fun to on occasion know what the answers are gonna be ahead of time......it's like being psychic
I also agree about Search Widgets ....
Funny story...when I had more time I used to do a fair amount of Beta testing for various Android app Developers. There was one app..VERY well know even today, and has been in the Top 10 almost since it was released and last I checked still is. Anyway, the lower function menu (displayed all the time in the app ) had a search button in....on the far right (yes, within a few mm of the search key)... and yet there had to be a submenu key because of 2 more important buttons needed for the apps functions beyond the others in the menu....yet...it took me over a month to convince the Dev to remove the Search button and the submenu button and replace them with the 2 functions in the submenu...he finally changed it 2 weeks AFTER the release.....go figure.
Moral of the story is some people LOVE such search buttons and/or widgets...and I don't get it either... wasted real estate IMHO, that's what the "hard key" is for.
BUT, Android above all else, is all about options and everyone likes to do it how they like....just as it should be!
Man, do I hate Pink (the color, Love the artist)
Cheers,
I actually was fortunate...my pack-rat ways stood me in good stead. I had a nandroid backup of 2.3.15 when I had installed it a few days back. It was fully loaded w/all my apps and configured w/all my accounts.
So I just restored that, applied the test2 file and everything was smooth as buttah.
I haven't had to use Titanium too much since they fixed apps/settings restore in Android...if I wipe data everything comes back automatically except email accounts, which take a minute to add.
I still do scheduled TiBU backups, but haven't had to use them for much.
Dave took the test links down earlier - I'm sure he'll have it back up again as soon as he's happy w/whatever tweaks and/or install instructions he wants to include are ready.
Are you on the DeoDexed 2315 leak and everything is OK, or can you be?? If so I can send you the link...it would be good to get another batch of feedback from you.

Ha ha...developers are a crusty, curmudgeonly, hard to convince lot, sometimes.
My worst developer moment...we had hired this guy at my old firm to write some software for us. Gave him the requirements and a couple weeks later his first draft of the program arrived in the mail (hey - this was a long time ago, some dialup-Internet, mostly sneaker-net).
Worst, most confusing interface we had ever seen...completely ignored our style guides and user experience requirements, and examples we had given him of similar programs.
So we had him come in to hear our feedback...we laid out our concerns about his design, noting deviations from our guidelines/examples and the resulting difficulty our customers would have using his app. He got more and more agitated and finally about 30 minutes into the meeting stood up and said dramatically:
"Well I don't write programs for stupid people!" and walked out.
Wow...we picked up our jaws off the floor, had a good laugh, and took his name out of our rolodex.

whats that do?
lol.............
No freakin' way - My Droid Life?
Yup - Good old MDW.
Downloading as well...someone tried it and got boot loops - be interesting to see if I can get it to boot.
Mind you, I won't run anything that doesn't have the Black Glass theme on it, SO GET TO WORK, DAVE!! Now we need our 2.4.0 BG.

Backed up, installed, booted up - at the R2D2 boot animation now - assuming I'll be there for the next five minutes or more and then we'll see if it boots up for me.
Booted up, at the Droid guy. Off to configure...and explore!
Seems very very stable...only issue so far is that swype won't swype, only types. Getting the "configured for another device" error. Likely need to pull swype from the D2 release and install on this.
No FC on battery status with this release, BTW.

I am still on deodexed 2220. Will work on 2315 tonight after work.
I would skip that and go to 2.4.0 , since it seems to solve some of the glitches of 2.3.15 it doesn't make a lot of sense for me to mess with 2.3.15 anymore....I will be working on 2.4 instead...AFTER I do the all of my current updates for the Official software 2.2.20.
