As mentioned, you can't have both right now. To get Sense, you'll have to go back to a Froyo ROM. Until HTC leaks an update, they are mutually exclusive. You can have either GB or Sense, but not both.

What exactly are you asking? I've never heard of "Ginger bread kernel". Are you saying you have a gingerbread rom or aosp kernel? You can run a sense rom with a cfs kernel, might run like ****, but you can.

**WORKING** [APP] HTC Sense 3.0 Lockscreen on some Ginger ROM's

Hello all,
This works on Virus Ginger Rom.. not tested on other Ginger's yet.. Thx to ChubbzLou, Lyrcal and myself for testing.
Just apply apk as a normal apk install it'll update lockscreen No need to flash in a update.zip
HTC Lockscreen (Sense 3.0) attached from Doubleshot dump thx to 911Sniper, *Captain Throwback* for posting in thread and Everyone helping to port.
*Shortcuts are not working yet on this apk*
To install if not showing after installation (Some Ginger Roms):
Go to Settings, Display and select Stock Android Lockscreen (depends on rom) then install HTCLockscreen.apk which is attached below (it'll update previous lockscreen). Once completed go back to and deselect, new lockscreen should be working now. Always Backup.
** Don't think it'll install on non gingerbread or aosp (haven't tried) Works by just installing as well on some Ginger Roms, some will also need to restart to see it function.**
** You can also install by using Root Explorer and copying over the old htclockscreen.apk file then just reboot. May not work with all roms.**
Check Sensation/Doubleshot Port for updates http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1035350
The shortcuts for Lockscreen are being checked, they don't work yet. Music Widget, and Alarm work.. Caller ID photo not showing up- ENJOY!!!!!
Please inform what ROM's it works on when posting so everyone can use, and I will continue to post list of working rom's below.
Sense 2.1 Based and Ginger Roms
Working Roms Lineup:
Virus Ginger B2
Virus GingerSense Rev
Virus Desire B1
MikG Sense 2.1RC1

Just tried on GingerAleB2 and boot loops like a mofo.

This is the HTC lockscreen so I'm sure it's not going to work on AOSP ROMs since there's probably dependencies in the HTC framework. And it's probably not going to work on the leaked GB Evo ROM either since it's the old Sense 1.0. This probably needs at least Gingerbread Sense 2.1 to work. It's working fine for me on MikG 2.1 on the exception of the shortcuts.

Let's not derail this thread based on the version of Android OS.. Android OS version is not the issue.. it is the HTC Sense version that is incompatible.
I have verified Netflix works with many GB based ROM for the Evo (Sense 1.0, MIUI, CM7, Decks, Stock AOSP) EXCEPT Sense 2.1 and above I haven't found one of these that it works on.. (Shift Ports, the Kingdom ROMs etc)
@skydeaner have you made any progress on determining if it is possible to get it to run on Sense 2.1 and above? I am running Evolved Shifted RC1.1 and really enjoying it, but can't make it my daily driver until Netflix is working on it.

+1 on that bro

Is it possible this will be cleared up for us when the OTA Gingerbread update for the Evo goes through on June 6th? (See news on Engadget and confirmed by Sprint)
I know that the Netflix apps compatibility was not universal, but a major update like that should move Netflix to quickly update the app to be compatible, especially considering that the Evo was one of the launch units for the app.
Of course, it could also be an inborn issue with the leaked 2.1 that all the Sense Gingerbread Roms are based on that would actually need a fix, at which point the OTA won't help anyone... But that's for smarter people then I to fix.

It would appear that virusrom gingersense is based, at least in part, on sense 3.0 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1036706) which may be the reason it works. The Netflix issue seems to be specifically with sense 2.1 which was based on a leaked version of the Evo's official gingerbread build (which should be available as early as today in its OTA form).
I wonder if someone else with more knowledge would be able to isolate which part of sense 3.0 is compatible with Netflix that isn't compatible with 2.1 and be able to port that component over to all the 2.1 builds to enable Netflix. Or if the simple availability of the official 2.1 from the OTA will enable the Netflix issue to resolve itself...

I used a few of Virus's Sense 3.0 ROMs (actually I used all the beat releases he put out) and Netflix didnt work on any of them for me. i tried the stock apk and both modded ones. no dice on any of them. strange.

You are correct in that I am speculating. However, considering that the sense 2.1 being used in all these Roms was from the leaked gingerbread for the Evo, I'm assuming that HTC/Sprint didn't abandon 2.1 in this final OTA version. Although they very well may have...

Thanks s0calstate0fmind for clearing that up. Could you confirm what version of Sense the OTA is going out with?

It would seem from this page of peoples experiences with the OTA that the Sense version is 1.0 mixed with certain elements from 2.1. Unlucky for us, it seems that the elements from 2.1 that they chose to include were the same ones that don't work with netflix, as people are reporting that the app has stopped working for them.

The race is on now to see who fixes the issue first, the awesome devs here at xda or the HTC/Sprint/Netflix folks....

If that is true how come it doesn't work on the OTA update from today which is running Sense 1.0?

Haven't tried on the official OTA (obviously because at the time of my post only the "Leaked" version was available) I did try it on the stock rooted leak version of the GB release (from TMartin I believe) and it did work for me.
It is official however that the GB OTA Update broke NetFlix on the EVO. NetFlix is aware of the issue and has removed it from the Market and expect a fix in the "near future" (their words).

I'm sure you've heard already, but the OTA is Sense 1.0, but hopefully the devs can work with the official Kernel to work some magic on the Sense 2.1 GB ports..

My wife is watching a movie on netflix now on the TV so I can't test the upgraded netflix app's streaming (we can only stream on one device at a time...). Can anyone confirm if this did indeed fix the issue either with the OTA (sense 1.0 with some 2.1 elements) or the leaked Gingerbread based sense roms (running sense 2.1 or 3.0)?
The Netflix app now lists Evo with 2.2 and 2.3 as compatible devices in the Android Market.

I'm on version 2.1 and have netflix

Perhaps the developers dont have sense 3.0 ready yet maybe. Thats just like the issue i have with netflix on my evo; it doesnt even show up in the market on my evo running sense 3.0 nor any other non stock rom for that matter.

Custom

Does having a custom Rom enable me to download more apps then the standard default.
For example my HTC desire s used to be 2.3.5 and I couldn't get 4od but when I upgraded to android 4 I can now get it

I'm not sure if having a custom ROM will enable you to get more apps directly, but it will most likely help with performance, and might make rooting your device a lot easier. Be sure to do a backup and make sure you have everything in order ahead of time, if you decide to try it.

Yes and no. Some aps have ceased support for versions higher than 4.0, like app2sd. Also since 4.0, there is no adobe flash support.
However, some other apps have dependencies on newer androids and therefore using a custom rom might enable them to you.
In essence, it depends.
Haha, you got the desire S. I was nearly going to buy that phone.

yes it did :good:
