Hi all
Outstanding update I'm loving this from.
With regards to requests for future updates I'd like to have the 3 dots back on the task bar if possible as I used it a lot as well.also I noticed that when your using a app or game the task bar disappears and the only way to go back is to press the back button which sometimes exits the app which is a real pain.is there a way to get the task bar up in apps??? Also I still can't download monopoly,Bejeweled and a few other ea games and I can't side load them as when I do it won't let me download the extra data,is anyone else having the same problem???.
For everyone having battery problems I downloaded a battery calerbration app and charged the device to 100% then hit calerbrate device and now I don't have any problems.
Also anyone had any problems changing the language from English us to English UK?

I a guessing the taskbar differences are due to Apex Launcher being used?

What I did like about the stock firmware is the multikey function for Vol -/+. It made it annoying when trying to change the volume but have a dedicated menu/home button mean't it was easier to get back to the homescreen if the taskbar dissapeared.

Maybe it would be possible to map the 'back' button to:

Short press - escape
Long press - home

Hi,

I will add the Stock Launcher back, I will remove "Apex Launcher" and remove "full screen mod" also in the next release.

With regards to the "3 dots" on the taskbar, i will need to look into that further... I think that is the "Menu" option and is built into the settings app or framework.

I also made a build.prop that allows "Monopoly" to be downloaded, but this also makes some other apps incompatible. I will do an update for that on its own.

Yeah, the keys i mapped are not mapped as they should be, will look into that further aswell :)

Cheers guys.

Christian Troy at SD made this http://www.mediafire.com/?bprafrg67pcnw5p for the old button functionality, not sure if that's helpful but thought I would let you know

Thanks suggest as always I'm very grateful.I really can't understand why it won't let me download the extra data for the ea games I mentioned,really gets my goat considering I paid for the apps in the first place!!! If also noticed you can't download the amazon UK mobile app,its a pity storage options didn't pay for a Google play lisence as I'm sure we wouldn't be having these issues if they did.

Its not just a matter of paying for the licence I would imagine there is a lot of testing involved to get Play approval, which would probably take so long the unit would be out of date by the time they got it sorted.

I remember using a firmware version where it worked with EA Games and all others that I tried... I can't remember which one but it was either one of suggsys or the pwned or nightly from Christian Troy (either pwned 1.4 or one of the nightly builds).

Hope that helps.

I *think* the issue is mostly with the build.prop but I could be totally wrong.
