Fixes

Note: You will not be able to use this fix and the weather animations. So if you want to use weather animations then don’t install this fix!    See below for a screen shot of what your weather animations will look like afterwards. Also I just updated the patch so that it will automatically remove the weather animations for you. Note that because this patch changes OpenGL it can have other side effects just like it did with weather animations. So don’t be too surprised. Notably Gallery3d (if you use it) will slow way down.

A lot of you have noticed that live wallpapers haven’t worked exactly as you thought, or launcher2 was having some issues, and especially live wallpapers in Rosie (which was just patched to work last night) was having issues. We all mostly assumed that it was caused by the memory kill off (and it still can be in some cases!) however thanks to MagnusRagnarok, jcase, and zifnab, we now have a better fix.

It turns out that our OpenGL has some issues. This patch will give you the full open gl es to correct the issue. The LWP’s may be a little glitchy at times however this should resolve any issues.

I took their patch that they had and combined it in to one, as well as adding the required Rosie with espresso for getting live wallpapers to work in rosie on fresh rom. I also have the patch wipe your dalvik-cache since a number of these programs were already included in fresh rom so expect a long first boot!

I just created an “undo” patch for anyone that decides they don’t want this OpenGL fix for any reason: http://link.geekfor.me/openglundo — This undo will put weather animations back on and will revert OpenGL back to ours. It will still leave you with the LWP-abled Rosie though.

For anyone that likes Android 2.1′s vanilla lockscreen, you have no doubt been disappointed to see that every leak we have gotten from Sprint has had the lock screen broken. This first could be seen in Fresh 2.0 and is now seen in all current Sprint based 2.1 roms. There is no telling if this bug will exist in our final release, but it hasn’t been fixed yet so it’s looking like it will be. Well I took the time tonight to sit down and figure out the cause and I was able to resolve the issue. I was also informed that World Clock’s alarm clock doesn’t ever pop up if you are using the vanilla lock screen. Meaning if you set an alarm in world clock it will go off in the morning but it won’t pop up on your screen and you won’t be able to turn it off. This is because world clock is integrated in to HTC’s lock screen and it expects it to be there. To resolve that I have also ported over a copy of the vanilla clock. If you are using the vanilla lock screen then you must set your alarm in android’s clock application (or a 3rd party app) and not in HTC’s if you want to be able to turn it off in the morning.
