CM7 help.

Ok this is the first time I ever used CM anything. I figured out how to get the gapps but how to integrate my DB contacts with my reg. Ones? I've been on myn's so I don't know what I have been missing. I even read the wiki on this.
1. Fb integration
2. Changing toggles in notification bar.
3. Finding a red/black theme
4. Swype for cyan ?
5. Anything else useful I should know.
Please and thank you! (I'll be sure to hit the thank button if you help me.)

By DB contacts do you mean from a microsoft exchange account? Best to export them to a .vcf file and import them to your phone.
1. install facebook, under settings, accounts and sync, check the sync contacts box. That'll link it.
2. Settings, cyanogenmod settings, interface, notification power widget.
3. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=11760329#post11760329
4. Go onto swype's website, sign up NOW, they'll send you an email with instructions. Do it now because its a beta that will close soon. Its still free.
5. Enjoy it.

I flashed the themes from the destroyer ROM over CM7 and they work great as well. They will give you a lot of options, about 13 in the theme manager.

Contrary to what the person above me said, most themes you no longer need to flash. CM has the T-Mobile Theme Engine now, which just lets you side-load an APK, then select the theme in the Theme Manager app, then reboot. That's it!
No more flashing crap that breaks on every other update.

where are they? My CM theme manager only came with 3 options. Love to get more easily

I mean fb contacts lol and I'll try these. I was gonna say I'm getting horrible battery but it's hard to judge cause my phone was in the coat room with no signal 58%.

All over the place! There's some in the Market, and dozens posted in all of the Themes sections here on XDA. You could give BlueBuzzer or Honeybread a try, for example.
Remember, just download the APK, install the APK, select the theme in the manager, and then reboot. No flashing or anything. Taking a backup beforehand though wouldn't hurt.

The red CM7 THEME is amazing. I would like to know why my juice defender isn't working though. I cannot accurately judge my battery life but I know Juice would help me.

I don't use it personally, but not all apps are compatible with 2.3 [gingerbread] yet, so you may have to wait.

It's probably cause I'm running an older version. Don't really like the new UI. I am gonna try installing a different version to see if it makes a difference. Now I understand what all this GB hype is about.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App

Yea, I went gingerbread when it came out soon after I first rooted my phone and refuse to look back.

I can see why. I was wondering if anyone knew how to get my name on the lock screen in cm7.

Would look awesome but I'll have to use adb. Never used it before but I'm certain I can. Not exactly what I was looking for though, I'm still going to use it but I was looking for something to put text aka my name in my lock screen.

Well I think that is what you're looking for. You do that method, except he used "karadorde" for his phone, and I put it teh roxxorz on mine. You can make the text say whatever you want it to. And mine shows up like that on the lock screen and notification bar.

It worked. I used AndroZip and Terminal Emulator. Wasn't hard I just didn't read the second set of steps cause I thought it was an adb only thing. It effin' worked I'm "pimpin'" now hahaha.

More to the point, why do people root, when they have no reason to..... If you want to know things you can do after root, there is no real need to root.

Now that your rooted you can get rid of bloatware by using an app called root explorer, navigate to the folders stored on your phone and delete everything you see. Bloatware will be gone

Personally, I think Titanium Backup is better for removing bloat because it removes data associated with the bloat too
Also, to backup and restore your rom you need an unlocked bootloader. Root won't help you with that

I think you might have missed the sarcasm, if im not mistaken

And also, this should have been in Q & A not general.

get titainium backup and freeze everything. Then get app 2 or sd and move some stuff over
Good Luck

i saw app that change the command of the R and L buttons
but i cant find her now

Maybe it's time for a sticky thread about the best apps with root access? I think that would be a great idea. I wanted to root for a couple reasons (WiFi tethering, Six Axis controller, and removing bloatware) but there were still some things that I didn't know about that I do now because of a previous thread I made like this one.

Bloatware is any app installed on your phone by a service provider that you don't want, but without root cannot get rid of. (i.e. On verizon, they include vzw navigator, a pay-to-use navigation system; backup assistant, a "service" that works the exact same way as any android automatically syncs your contacts with your gmail account; and visual voicemail, a pay-to-use voicemail system that is equivalent to google voice)

Aww come on people, xda search button fail is 1 thing but google fail takes the cake. Now you must be trolling.
Whats next? Are you going to ask how to find google in the dev forums?

Hey dude. If you dont want to answer then just shut up. If i am really trolling then who cares, if other people know im trolling they wouldnt answer me and it is fine with me. Just freakin mind your own business and dont take opportunities to show off that youre better than any of the xda mate here.

Dude go take your fustrations out on your wife or kids, if you think im showing off because i know how to read then that really doesnt say much about you.
Like the majority of people here, if i do not know something i will go look it up, not ask others to do it for me. Your either super lazy or just plain stupid.

If paxchristos already answered then its over right. Why would you add up on things on which is already answered. Isnt it showing off. Why would i be frustrated? It is you who should be frustrated because nobody cares about how you show off here. I bet youre also doing it on others. Theres a problem with your attitude man. And stupidity is not even enough to describe. Maybe its just reasonable enough to take that frustration out on yourself. This is a place of information, from basic to advance. This isnt a place of showing off.

softkeys..

can these be reprogrammed? to do other stuff. or be taken away? etc..

eBen if you could, you would not want to. You need them to do the functions that they are programmed for to take advantage of ICS

In adding the Search softkey to Bugless Beast v4.0.3, I learned how difficult it is to remove them. I wanted the Recent Apps outta there, but simply removing the entry in the XML caused issues. With help over at RootzWiki I was able to swap Recent with Search.
The other issue is when things are added, they stay lit on the lockscreen. I have found the smali code that controls this, but simply don't know enough on what to add to make it work. I did point this out to some devs who are really good with that stuff, so we'll see what happens. But for each thing added, all of these edits need to be made, which is tedious.

Duplicate Apps

Hey. Is there a way to create a duplicate game app so I can manage two profiles? I used to do it on my iPhone all the time, but I haven't figured out how to do it on Android yet. Any help is appreciated.
Btw, rooted and I have a good file Explorer and TiBu. Thanks.

There might be a way for experienced modders and the like. You could edit the package name and it's manifest prevent it from overwriting the current app. I have no clue how to do this though. Another option is to find another device and just install it there. I think the latter would be a lot simpler and easier. Hope I helped!
Sent from my Galaxy S3

I may try to look through some things to do it. Whenever I unzip an apk, edit what I want, rezip it, change it to. Apk, and try to install it I get a parse error, though. It's extremely frustrating. And I only have the one device, unfortunately.

That parse error is because you edited the apk and didn't recompile and resign it. Look in Software Development for a tool to do those for you. Hope I helped!

So after some serious research, I found that in TiBu, I could just turn the app into a multi user app and setup different data profiles for it and switch between them as I so desire.

You should have just checked your duplicate thread. I posted it in there yesterday. Lol.

I certainly can. First, near the bottom on the main TiBu page it says active days profile, tap to switch. Tap that and create Two profiles. One for each account.
Then go to the backup/restore tab. Scroll down to the app you want to dup and tap it, swipe right, and click enable multiple profiles. Viola.
Now you can either go into TiBu and switch data profiles every time you want to switch accounts or simply create the TiBu data profile widget.
Let me know if you have any more problems.
