Released to market!
Remember all those nifty little tricks in Sense which you sometimes miss on cm7 and cm9? I thought about getting those features into an app which can be used with all ROMS. The main one I'm thinking of is the flip for speaker but there are also other ones like the loud ring in pocket and so on. It was really something that I wanted in an app. The closest one I found was Sanity which switched on the speaker as soon as the user takes the phone off his ear, which can lead to troubles such as in a classroom/meeting.
So far, I have a working version of the Flip For Speaker with an option to disable it of course. I'll will try to port the other features. I would like to get your opinion of small features that improve the usability like this one and I can try including them as well. They can be from other ROMS of other phones like say something from TouchWiz or MotoBlur. Post them here and I'll see what I can do.
Meanwhile, here is an alpha version of the app if you would like to test it out. If you run into errors, let me know. Try getting a logcat if you can. I'm open to suggestions.

Flip to Silence
Flip for Speaker
Pick up to answer (Meaning hold it up to your ear)

Only thing is, its a paid app, but works very well for me.
Nice find!
I think I'll continue developing this app so that it can suit my purposes better and it's fun developing

Had a bug in the earlier version I posted. I thought that only pitch would be enough so the speaker kept turning on at incorrect moments. I've fixed that I'll post an update tonight.
As for the sense clock, sorry. I'm not that good at theming nor do I have enough patience for something like that! Henry would be a better person to ask. You can also check out UCCW clock widget which has sense clock like themes.
For internet passthrough, you can checkout this thing called "Reverse Tethering". I haven't used it personally but it should work.
Fixed the issue with the roll and also added flip for silence working. Updated apk in the OP. I've tested it very briefly cause I'm about to head off to sleep. Let me know if you find some issues.
Updated with a few bug fixes and hopefully should now support other devices because I've changed the API now. Check the changelog.
Added Pick up to Answer. Updated OP.
'senseable speaker control'
or
'non-sense speaker control'
Just a couple of things that popped in my head
Is this still in development? I really liked this idea and would pay a full app to do the "nifity tricks" (my suggested app name )

Yes, of course. I have a pretty major exam tomorrow so after that I would be getting back to development. Any features in particular you would like to see?

Hey AceRoom, great work on the sense app hey. Features I know I definitely miss on CM7 and CM9 roms are the jus the three you mentioned earlier on - quiet ring on pickup - flip for speaker and pocket mode. The rest are not so important but if you could get those working on any cm7 or CM9 rom - that would totally rock!
Looking forward to more of your work
Cheers
thanks a lot, i was searching all over for these features.
---------- Post added at 05:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:24 PM ----------
since this is an application, why dont you add it to the play store?
Amazing! I think it works better than the actual sense version

Actually, no. It picks up fine but the caller can't hear me. So I've just turned it off till you you fix it.
For some reason, it mutes the phone when it does that. So I tried explicity unmuting the phone and it still doesn't work. You can unmute it manually but it kind of defeats the purpose anyhow!
It's actually a hack I found somewhere since Android stopped supporting the call answer API after 2.3 (But had it in 2.2 and earlier).
The next thing I'm planning on adding is a speaker volume and normal volume (Because I find that I have to increase the volume when I flip for speaker usually).
I've tested it on the WFS only on CM9. What ROMs are the rest of you guys using?

Definitely looks spectacular, I'll probably try it out and get back. Hope you get the WiFi and such worked out, will post back after test running
ok - not to be a **** or anything but this begs the question:
Why do you WANT blur on your phone? Everyone i know with a blurred motorola phone struggles to make it blurless and wants to remove that crap as much as possible - it is a serious detriment to performance and battery life.

yea im aware of the many issues, i still have alot of work left with this rom, about landscape mode it should be working just fine even with the keyboard out, also the browser im not sure as i havent fixed wifi so i cant use the internet on the rom. And yes i figured gps was not working again iv got no internet so i have no way of fixing that, i need wifi for that XD. anyways im glad you guys like it.

Because this version of blur is different from the others and better, and well because we on the g2 forums deserve variety, other than the 3 classic roms, sense,cm7 or miui. And no i dont think this rom will drain that much battery or affect performance, our gpu's beats the crap out of the omap that the droids have.
Also found that when calling someone it will restart the phone and it will keep you on the call till the os finishes reloading.

i'm guessing this is based on the Droid X GB leak - the blur is different than the blur on 2.2? My girlfriend was running stock 2.2 on the DX and getitng like 12 hrs of battery life. Then running Liberty 2.1 (blurless 2.2 based) she was getting 24 hours +. I flashed her over to the Liberty GB alphas (has a lot of blur in it) and have yet to see how the batt life is.
What i do know is that if you look @ running services (on the DX Liberty GB) and use an app like autostarts to see the on startup apps - blur has a whole ton of blur stuff that runs in the background from startup on - unrelated to ui changes and widgets.
What i fail to understand is not manufacturer ui (which differentiates) but why it has to be baked in so deep into the OS and kernel that it makes it impossible to remove if - god forbid - you want a more stock experience.
I have a lot of respect for any dev who brings more variety and software choice for our phones and i dont mean to undermine his work. I guess i just get pissed that companies like motorola make it so hard to go stock (particularly mess with that damned bootloader) that they would rather u ruin your device (i soft bricked my gf's droid x once and the only way to get back to stock is a complete SBF flash - a rare turn of events that i've never had the displeasure of running into on an HTC phone).
On a related note to this ROM, i noticed on Liberty GB (but not on Liberty 2.x) you can remove stuff from the notification area because there is a minus button (ie you dont have to clear all notifications or click on the notification itself to clear it - there is a button that enables its removal). Is this part of blur? I'd love to see this ported to AOSP.
UPDATE 4
Hello all,
Pending a new release for this ROM, I will stop supporting the "0.3" version originally posted.
I would like some help deciding cosmetics & features next release before it goes live. Please complete the following brief survey:
http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/VJRLWRZ
A lot of fixes and changes have been made and requests have been accounted for as long as they do not deviate from the nature of this ROM being clean, functional, stable, good-looking, and ready to be a base for future devs. The appearance will be very AOSP-ish but with traces of TouchWiz.
Heads up: there will be no XLoud\Beats Audio by default. We have enough audio issues as it is and these are IMHO not any better than using DSPManager (aside from having the cute Sony\Beats branding stamped on them).
I'm not releasing anything until I fix the damn call echo issue ...worst case scenario I will workaround it by keeping Noise Reduction off. But I want to fix it
Q&A: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=24253640
General questions? post in the above link...it will help me keep track better
^^
I no longer wish to have two seperate topics. So post here...but wait till the next release before you do
First of all, thank you to Racing19969 and anybody else associated with the Skyrocket ICS port...you made this possible.
Also want to thank CyanogenMod (<3) and the original author of DSP Manager (will find credits tomorrow) from which I borrowing DSP Manager for this ROM
The goal: to make a CLEAN, no frills alien TouchWiz + ICS rom. Its not meant to be exciting or have a crazy amount of hacks in it. In fact as of right now, the only packages added from the community are SuperUser and DSP Manager. And I don't plan on changing that.
Current status is...the ROM is running and its running QUICK. But there are some minor issues to be worked out and some beautification to be done.
The priorities:
Stability
Friendliness
Battery Life
If you are going to comment without constructive criticism, then just look away from this thread. The ROM is what it is. If you are going to install it, I would appreciate pointing out as many bugs as you can
For right now (temporarily): I did add the wonderful, feather-weight Zeam Launcher alongside TouchWiz...this is because I had issues with TW force closing on me early on in the modification process. So until more progress is made on this ROM, I've decided to keep it in there in such an event that TW decides to be unhappy and constantly force close.
A *lot* of bloatware was removed, especially from AT&T and some of Samsung's own social/media/diary/etc packages. I want this ROM to be STABLE, fast, and clean.
Next release ETA:VERY VERY SOON. NOW THAT AUTO ROTATE WORKS :-D
That being said, there are still issues to be worked out. Here is the list of changes made right now:
Added DSPManager from update-cm-9-20120330-NIGHTLY-galaxys2-signed, not functional ATM
Added Gallery, Mms, and Shutdown from GT-I9100 XWKI4 ROM; This fixes the shutdown issue, the Gallery landscape resize issue, and the delete SMS thread FC issue
Also added Browser from GT-I9100 XWKI4 ROM; not only is it more stable but the Search icon is fixed in its place and it has more features
Added apns-conf.xml from above CM9 nightly
International Galaxy S2 boot animation (AT&T anim is hideous)
Removed many many bloat; I'll try to compile a better list later
Added latest version of Polaris Office from T-Mobile ROM...It's a simple, lightweight, and pretty good doc editor/viewer
Already rooted

PS, my personal opinion...install the Telus radio. no echo issues thus far. But if you don't know what a radio is....don't do it.
Update: I have big suspicions that this is a RIL or qualcomm audio config issue. It is now the priority problem which I will look to tomorrow..
Enjoy
Update coming tomorrow..
For today I am tired!
Hopefully I can get this one to boot. Raver's just gives me booltloops to eat. We'll give this a run. I'll report back.
Edit: booted right up and is going well. Nothing too crazy yet. Will keep you posted.
Youtube played well and video was right on. I could actually hold it in landscape and watch video with not much effort.
>>DARKSIDE
the first boot may take a few min as this is Deodexed
Also, nice to see a fellow P999er here
I have been running the port for the past 3 days and the only issue I have is the rotate and I know that's a kernel issue but that port took many flashes and reboots. Let's see if this one is easier to install and I'll report later.
Edit : I always use darkside wipe just like on my transformer there some kind of wipe just like it and I'm so glad that the gs2 has it too.

It's important to to siperwipe. Darksides script works perfectly everytime, but prior to using it it took me many attempts to flash the leak. I am looking into hacking usermode android into invertig the kernels auto rotation parameters. Dirty hack but I believe it is possible
by looking at the change log I think you are on the right track! I do have one question, on the ics skyrocket leak, I noticed there is a lot of freezing and watching streamed videos is damn near impossible it lags beyond belief, so I was wondering if you had a chance to take a look at some streamed videos.

I'm not into any drastic theming, so there is not much specialty here. I like clean and simplicity....I cannot BELIEVE AT&T and Samsung even plan on releasing the current ROM they have for Skyrocket. It's bloated to hell.

How did u get youtube in landscape? I have the hacked hd ics youtube pushed into system apps . It works great but no landscape.....is it the youtube that comes with the rom? Oh and for a camera fix use camera zoom fx... it will actually show pics the right way in gallery and send to people the right way too. For portrait shots just hit menu and rotate once

Well since our auto rotate is broken, I just turned it on and physically put the phone in portrait mode. LOL
And agreed at Camera Zoom FX. Like it a lot. If the autorotate fix doesn't work out, I will compile an ICS camera locked to landscape mode**.

I will look into it, hopefully in the next 24 hours.

I started the video then turned on screen rotation then held in vertically and slowly moved to horizontal and voila. I used the YouTube app that came in the rom.
The only real gripe I have right now is that the sideways scrolling16 panel toggle (thanks lidroid & RaverX3X) and the folders ui in gtab simiclock is pretty sticky, from lack of a better word. I'm sure it's due to the rotation issue. Looking good so far. Adwex hauls ass on this rom.
Oh yeah and vignette is great for pics too, alas youbhv to go into gallery and rotate them. Snaps em quickly tho. No delay like the stock camera.

Hi all,
No more call echo
This fix uses the proper T989 audio parameters so noise suppression actually works like it should (car dock should work too in theory). On top of that is Samsung Diamond Voice Engine which really makes calls sound great.
It fixes the issue at the core, within the audio libraries. The audio paramaters and noise cancelling routines now work as they should.
UPDATED
I think I finally fixed this f$cking issue once and for all. For real this time. Try out the newest update I have attached to this post (Diamonds.zip)
This patch is a breed of libraries from the Galaxy Note and the Galaxy Blaze. It took me a very long time to put it together. But with a lot of work and hex digging I found the perfect combination.
I don't even think T-Mobile's ROM is going to sound this good
You might still have to turn down your volume a notch if you have a troublesome case, but I am going to make a bold statement and say that this should fix the problem for a 90% portion of you
Also--by its nature--this newest patch should fix the car dock audio problems. I can't test it to confirm. Please let me know if it does.
Report back with results!
Devs you are free to use. Credit is all I ask I spent lots of time on this and not enough time working on a project due tomorrow >_<
To the kind folks that donated to me in the past few days. thank you and I will thank you personally and address my PMs too. Been on and off the grid because of finals.

great work my friend!.. i love your rom. and your fixes.. rotation, facebook font, now echo ! great!
I think TDJ already fixed this issue you should ask him for help if he'd be willing to share.

I know people keep saying he fixed it, but if he did. I would expect he would have released it. Unless he is doing the community a disservice and trying to squander the fix for him self only for glory or what ever other reasoning.
Also to the OP. What do the display firmware in /etc have to do with the audio echo? and i understand you're trying to fix the compass so is that why the sensors lib is in there?
Based on his new ROM being a beta I think TDJ is testing a fix same as Yaldak.
Hopefully they both work.

The approach used in the Darkside ROM is different. I did a library comparison to verify it.
While the approach should work because it appears to reverse the noise redcution switch (hence why the TDJ says to keep it on), this approach fixes the problem at its core--audio library side. Noise reduction will work exactly as it did in Gingerbread. Some people in that thread are still reporting the call echo issue because the audio paramters are off in all of the Skyrocket-based roms.
A LOT of work and experimenting was done to narrow it down to this one stupid file.

There is no display firmware. That's sensor firmware. This is preliminary work toward fixing the compass, as such it is a work in progress. It's not a beautified patch just yet

A beer will do my friend
I had echo before and using NexusMod.
Made calls to a POTS, VOIP, and another cell phone.
These people had complained about the echo before and report these calls sounded fine.
Thanks and great work.
Hey Yaldak,
I'll test this out on RomChicago tonight, which is based on your base.
As far as the compass goes, I didn't even realize there was an issue with it until now. I'll check the parts bin to see what works.
This is why I use your bases, because you da man.

Darkside's ROM has another approach to this issue....so that is probably why.
It is also likely that--since you had the issue with gingerbread--your phone might be defective. My GB audio was crystal clear.
I'm up to 8 phone calls (2 incoming 6 out) in which the recipients reported no issue.
Is it difficult to apply this? Just asking cuz I never applied a patch. Switching roms, navigating thru root explorer, etc no problem.. but I don't want anyone wasting time explaining it if its something you believe is too complicated to do so. I'd just love to have call echo fixed so people stop telling me about something I already know. Never had call echo on GB. (I have tried the search but with how many posts there are with 'how to' and 'patch' in them its quite difficult and easier to ask)

RENOVATE, why don't you stick with the "If it ain't broken, don't fix it!" principle?
I'm referring to the RENOVATE team's decision to do away the input method notification from the notification bar. Yes, monolinguals may not change their keyboard for their whole life, but multi-linguals like me speak and write 4 languages and change keyboard many times a day! This newly introduced "feature" (read: bug) is so irritating that I have to flash another ROM. The input method notification is there for a reason! If it ain't broken, don't ever fix it! The RENOVATE team can feel free to disable it by default if they like, but not give people options to enable it?

Yep it was! Imo it's pointless, we don't change keyboards every 5 minutes so why have it there!
Kill apps is working fine here mate, have you flashed and mods containing an android.policy.jar?

For now, try another rom
For this problem, you'd better write to the leader of the team, because you can't write in Renovate's Thread..

Why don't you just download a free app called 'input method' from the play store??

Thank you mate. The app works. For the time being I think it's the best solution.
But still, AOSP has a built-in feature that works just fine and then someone decided that the users can't use it because they don't use it, and now I have to download an app to do what I used to be able to do. It is just not right. I'm very disappointed at this kind of attitude.
Re: RENOVATE, why don't you stick with the "If it ain't broken, don't fix it!" princi
Top be honest mate you can't please all the people all the time and you might not like it but others will do unless you're going to build your own Rom then your bang out of luck.

Well, considering we do this for free... and most of us use SwiftKey anyways it's our choice in the end whether we want to include that function or not.

Well i didnt know we had so many multi language speaking users! For most people, they set up a keyboard, then they won't ever change it, therefore the notification coming up every time you write something gets really annoying. If it's such a big deal i'll add the keyboard switcher back in.
Wouldnt it of been a lot easier to just ask nicely in thread and not create a thread about it?
and long press to kill apps is 100% working how it should be.

He can't post in Development threads since he's a new user mate.
IceColdJelly (or AOKP, not sure) has the option to disable the keyboard popping up in the notification bar - i disabled it my self. It should atleast be a user choice. On the other hand, if it can be revived by a simple app, the devs may remove it if they wish, its their project, and its done free of charge in spare time
Being that I'm a noob (<10 posts), I can't post this in the actual ROM thread (mods, please move if you deem it appropriate).
I wanted to ask if there was a way in Google Edition 4.3 to change the clock settings to *NOT* display the hour in bold font?
Is that functionality available and I'm missing it in the settings?
Thanks yeahmann for putting that together and to the entire XDA community for all the hard work!.

As far as I know you can't change the look and feel of the widget in 4.3, however you can always install Cyanogenmod cLock widget where you can customize it. Hope this helps.

It does help -- thank you.
I actually ended up flashing CM-10.2 because of the availability of better config options and am so far loving it.
Thanks again and best wishes!

Whenever you get a chance can you please let me know how's CM 10.2 working for you so far? I mean can that be used as a daily driver with major things (GPS, Bluetooth, NFL, camera etc) working without any issues. If so please let me know which nightly did you flash.
Thanks.

So far, CM 10.2 is rock-solid. I flashed The Sept 5 Nightly. Reason being - Friday gives me 2 days if something doesn't work.
I tried AOKP (too many options for me -- never thought I'd say that) and both Virgin and 'stock' GE (4.3) ROMs (a bit too stock for me).
I have so far set up email (GMail and Work using K-9 + Invitation Processor) and customized some options/appearance (cLock is da-shizznit). The camera works perfectly. I have not set up Bluetooth and not used GPS, yet, but will try both tomorrow on my way to/from work. One thing that I still need to figure out is the file-system layout inside Android (i.e. /storage/0 vs. /storage/legacy, etc...) as I'm apparently using 7.4GB out of 9.6GB available. This is probably because the stock T-Mo version left most of its guts behind and/or I incorrectly cleaned the device after having flashed all the ROMs.
One thing that I've noticed (with all the ROMs, except stock T-Mo) was that when you press the power button to lock/shut-off the screen, it ends up shutting off like an old-school TV. With the stock version, it would go dark seamlessly.
Regardless, I really enjoy having this phone now that I flashed CM on it. The fact that they provide an 'update-CM' option directly inside the settings is awesome in its own right. I'll update this thread once I give GPS and BT a run (can't promise I'll run TV apps on it, though -- that's not my cup-o-tea).
Best!
if you find certain things to be a bit buggy on CM, give Virgin Rom another try. the hardware elements of the phone work flawlessly. in an ideal world, someone would use Virgin Rom as a base and "Cyanogenize" it so that more things were customizable, such as Quick Setting toggles. CM is great, but the nightlies don't have the stability that the GE Roms have, obviously.
Thanks for your inputs...I guess back up of your old Roms may be eating up your internal space (if you have backed them up )...the old tv animation is the crt animation which Google introduced in ICS 4.0

Aaah! Good to know (about the TV animation).
I haven't backed up my old ROMs, but I'll definitely investigate space usage once I find some time.
Tested GPS and BT this morning: played a few songs over the car radio streaming over BT - awesome.
GPS is working good, too. I get a lock within 10 seconds of starting any app requiring GPS.
Thanks to all!
