It would be nice to have a Desire Z port.
And here is the last original desire Z rom
http://www.multiupload.com/ZX9EC8R2VF
just an idea
Good idea !!!!

hmmm ... no camera no flashing :
the rom is the same as sense HD ... or?
Pretty much the same rom. Larger font size and no arrows on keyboard is only real difference I think.
Eph.
maybe landscape mode?!
Yep the Z has landscape mode
shouldn't this be in the Q&A section?
as far as i know, the Z sense landscape mode is only activated when the keyboard is slid out
robocik is working on a port
Sence already has a landscape mode, it cant be triggered by sensors tho, thats why it dosent work for us, it has to be triggered by a h/w button, ie. The desire z keyboard sliding out.... so even if we had a port landscape mode wouldnt work

Is it actually working on the N1? Like the G2, it only rotates when the keybiard is opened so its more than just 'turn my phone on its side'

Can't the "keyboard slide out sensor" be somehow mimicked with "orientation sensor" in framework?

it is in rosie.apk, and then we have to sign lots of file to get it working... :/

Thanks for the clarification. Not directly related but I remember using a transparent overlay keyboard in Nokia 5800, which used to function as if the phone had a physical keyboard. I was thinking something similar, for e.g. an app, listening to orientation sensor and then trigger a signal equivalent to keyboard slide out.
or can we just make a widget, what we click on, and it turns into landscape?

Would it be possible to edit rosie.apk using smaliing and baksmaliing?
Or should we make a service that changes the keyboardside value when the phone is turned?
And can if we succeed in modifying rosie.apk can we just put it in a sense HD rom?
I think I'm gonna try smalliing rosie.apk...
EDIT: I think using apktool would be easier
EDIT2: Can someone post the rosie.apk?
you have to edit the android manifest xml in rosie, and if you edit that you need to resign rosie for it to work, and resign rosie you need to resign alot more, and then auto syncing gmail and others die due the resigning of apk's, you can resign so autosync still works, but more widgets and other stuff dies and you need to resign and resign things all the time, not worth it, untill we get a hack working in services.jar to avoid the check of the signing in apks, to match other apks, then we can be in business and rotate rosie within seconds

Okay, I get the point. Editing of Rosie.apk is not an option. I didn't knew all those signatures had to match...

So, now that people have figured out how to enable Navigation (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=582656), how about the Eclair CarDock?
bogdi1988 was able to install it by modifying the prop file (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4921107&postcount=201), but it won't run yet. Has anyone else tried it?
Thanks
it installs with the prop, but it fails to start. it gives 'force close' and that's all.
as soon as i put original props, app deletes itself. i shell-ed in the phone and it was missing from /system/app folder and also from the Settings - Application page.
i guess we need an app that is de-odex-ed... or w/e it's called... (it's late here)
I also got it to install with the prop on my MT3G but when i revert back to original props the app is missing
I also installed under new prop files and then reverted back to old, car home still remains for me... of course, this is completely useless as the app force closes just like for everyone else.
you guys stil trying? =P
java.lang.RuntimeException: Binary XML file line #25: You must supply a layout_height attribute.
I'll look into this but probably incompatibility due to it being the 2.0 sdk
first thing no idea what im talking about but droid have magnetic dock/sensor so would u have to change dock code from mag to accelerometer
I checked, there are no android:layout_heights missing anywhere. 99% sure this can only be run on a phone with 2.0 frameworks then. Besides, all the packed graphics are for WVGA and would have to be scaled down.

not entirely sure if they could do that as it would launch everytime the phone was tilted but they should be able to remove that code alltogether. The software comes with a shortcut that can be placed on the desktop and launched just like an app.
Since the stood has a bigger screen then the dream and magic is possible that the only problem is resizing the resolution to be compatiable with the dream n magic

I know the G1 has a compass which is a magnetic sensor. Don't most Android phones have compasses?

Interesting idea. A quick check with a rare-earth magnet shows a clear order-of-magnitude difference on the magnetometer, as you'd expect. That seems like a more significant code change, though, since you're adding a conditional check on the magnitude of the mag field.
Already a metal detector app on market
seems way more feasible to work via shortcut.

I'm able to run the Car Home (CarDock.apk) on Cyanogen 4.2.8.1 (ADP1), although the 'navigate to' voice commands don't work (needs map update?).
Here's the apk I used: http://n0rp.chemlab.org/android/apps/CarDock.apk
Does anyone know where the magnetometer is on the G1/ADP? I want to test the auto-switching without running a magnet all over and potentially damaging it.
http://drop.io/p12auxn#
I'm not 100% sure this is it since I don't have my Nexus One yet so I need someone willing to test.
I found it here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0dFh9RKsN6w&feature=player_embedded
This is the same one that's pixelated on the Nexus One. Also, doesn't stretch the full screen in landscape mode.
It is still the pixelated version. That wouldn't even bother me that much if the correction bar on the top fit on the screen and wasn't horribly warped.
Damn sorry then. The one in the video looks good though.
do you need to be rooted for this? Because I tried it using an appinstaller. It shows up in the clicker, but when I create new messages, it reverts back to the stock google keyboard.
You have to go into the settings and enable it, then when you're in a message box click the box and hold, then select "input method". You can alternate between the 2.
haha ya i forgot to do the "hold" part in the message box. thanks!
pixelated...but at least i don't have to switch back n forth for numbers and punctuations. can't wait for the non-pixelated version w/ microphone key =)

We'll need a high-res 2.1 SenseUI device to come out - probably need to wait for a Bravo leak.
Yep, works fine on N1 running MCR1.1 but pixelated. Will have to live with that for a while as it still beats the hell out of the standard Android keyboard...
Is the file linked from youtube the same as this file?

Ha good luck with that. They won't update it until they release a phone with the Hi-Res Sense UI.
Most likely we'll have to wait until a bravo dump is leaked or another sense UI device w/ a hi res screen's dump is leaked.
I'm running HTC_IME on the N1.... its great to have it back, only complaint is the lack of the dedicated 'microphone' key thats in the default keyboard... so AFAIK once you install HTC_IME you can NOT dictate text messages and the like
Does anyone know how to edit the dictionary for htc ime?
I don't know about editing words but you can erase it by going into your settings > applications > keyboard > clear data.
I installed this and it works great but my only issue-request would be to add more languages. The option is there, when you go to settings from inside the keyboard, but unfortunately, only english is available.
In the past, people have made language packs...could someone do on for this? pleeeeeeeease?
Thanks,
Lou
I used to change com.htc.android.htcime_preferences.xml file to enable dual language on my htc ime. I was wondering if this can be changed in the apk before installing. I dont want to root my nexus.
Thanks

I'm hoping someone would remap Rosie for the Z ports since none of the existing mods are compatible. Would like to see a phone-drawer-browser setup so I can then resize and theme for a GB style rosie.
Bump.
Anyone??
gmichaelow has figured out how to remap the right rosie button in his Uber rom, but I dont know if he is able to change up the app tray button and phone button. And the last time I used Uber, and re-mapped my right button to messaging, you dont have the option of changing the symbol. It changes itself to a "circle" symbol.
He may have figured out all the above by now, I am not sure.

He actually grabbed that from 1wingedangel over in desire Z forums. I was following that thread since he was the only one making any rosie mods for the Z, but he was unable to swap phone and app buttons and gave up basically. I was hoping one of the devs that have experience with this mod could lend a hand. I tried doing it myself, but I don't know Dalvik bytecode or how to learn it so I gave up....for now lol.

I was hoping the same, app button on the left drives me nuts!
Yea, no luck switching them. As far as I know, nobody has been able to do it with the new sense. The old versions, it was just a matter of xml edits in the layout. That won't seem to take at all, just force closes. I tried changes in the smali code, and it works to switch them, but is buggy. There is actually a logic to what the bug is, but I was unable to find a way around it.
After too many hours spent, I sat back and realized that it wasn't worth the work for something that really does nothing! Maybe someone else will think it worth the time though..
Edit: For those looking to change the images. You want to replace the personalize_on.png and personalize_rest.png in both the landscape and portrait folders. No need to decompile or resign. Just replace and push.
I guess I'm obsessing over it a little too much. I can still make do with a normal setup and just switch the right button to browser then resize and theme. Thanks for all the effort you put into it though, its greatly appreciated nice job on the rosie setup you created too.
Hey guys,
After realizing how fantastic the tab is after switching to 182 dpi I figured I'd fix up some of the apps to fit better.
Thanks to Xan from this thread for the quick tool and batch script to make the changes.
These apks are from Overcome 1.6.3 and should work on other dpi settings as well.
Instructions, push the new files to /system/app after mounting the system rw, or using root explorer..
*Edit May 4th* I've attached an updated Email.apk as well
Disclaimer:The Standard disclaimer applies, I'm not responsible if this causes boot loops, any other issues with your Tab, or giant meteors to crash into your car.Backup the files you are replacing first.
So u did rename framework-res to 1.apk and twframwork to 2.apk.. decompiling phone & contacts worked for me. Give me a howl if it didn't work and ill zip up mine and send it..
oh im editing overcome145 - not tested 163
just a friendly tip, might be a idea to use frameworks from a stock 2.2.1 rom instead from a moddified rom, might be a glitch there..
yup, sure did.
*edit* think I've got it now, I compiled the new apktool and started fresh..
Can you post screen shots
I tried, but ddms doesn't capture them correctly. The change makes the apps pretty much look exactly like they do at 240dpi.
can you change the email app too please? when i go into the landscape 2 pane mode, the left pane doesnot appear correctly.
thanks
Yeah for sure. Ill have a look and fix it tomorrow..

Phone might be a tough one, any time I adjust the xml's at all it just crashes out the phone app when you end a call, thereby restarting the modem.. Best temp fix I can think of is to adjust the png for the end call button to be transparent on the right hand side.
I'll keep plugging away at it though.
Noticed it too, tested just changing background to black, and it would behave the same, fc on inn or out going.??

This guide assumes you already know how to use apktool and use latest 1.52 version. If you don`t, there are plenty of guides already on XDA.
Latest Sense 5 com.htc.resources.apk and apktool are not great friends. Actually there is a long history of compile issues with this file, but also I managed to fix it usually in the past. I stumbled about some theme threads, who were correctly complaining, that they can`t fully finish their work, since many essentially stuff in HTC`s framework can`t be themed, since com.htc.resources.apk can`t be compiled and as a result many color themes remain incomplete.
So I had a quick look and here is the workaround, which is tested and works.
For those having other apktool issues, it also might pay off looking in my One S apktool issues thread, maybe you will find some ideas to solve other problems.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1642224
Credits:
brut for his awesome apktool
hdneuling for being a great tester and guy
1. First thing you will recognize, when decompiling the "nice" way, apktool will miserably fail. So let`s be the bad guy and brute force decompile
2. Decompile com.htc.resources apk with the following:
PHP:
java -jar apktool.jar d --keep-broken-res com.htc.resources.apk com.htc.resources-decoded
This ignores all errors and decompiles the apk
3. Since the real issues here in reality are only very minor dimens decompile problems, you can now simply delete all unneeded folders with an ERR at the end.
4. Make all necessary edits
5. Now compile the apk as usual, there are different ways to do it - I compile with
PHP:
java -jar apktool.jar b com.htc.resources-decoded
6. Flash and enjoy your work
Good job
Had to look into it, Helmut was desperate
Great Job, and o.k., feeling guilty now :silly:

One thing we noticed when putting together our tranquility rom was that any com.htc.resources, sense 4 and after, was that even when it could be decompiled it was better to hex edit. It caused issues with the rom. The dialer and battery life were affected. There were other performance issues also.

First off, Nice find!! So far the only ill effect I'm noticing is the fonts in settings/display, gestures and buttons doesn't function properly. it changes the font size in certain areas but not system wide like it should. this is the same error we had before, and maybe its because im using the port rom for Evo LTE. I'm looking into it but we couldn't find a resolve for this before.

Just to confirm, this is also the case on the One ROMs themselves as well, not just limited to ports.
To see it clearly, just go into Settings/Display, Gestures and Buttons, and try flicking between small and extra large fonts. When you go back out into the main Settings menu, the font size doesn't change as expected.
Did try to get around this by compiling the images, and dragging them into the stock resources apk. If you do this without renaming some of the 9.pngs back into r.9.pngs, you get SysUI FC, and a messed up lockscreen. With those corrections made, everything boots fine, but Dialer FCs and several Settings menu options also FC.
Next thing to try is using villaintheme to insert the altered pngs directly on-device....
Edit: yup, using villaintheme seems to give the best result. No app FCs and no text resizing issue. Just means we still need to hex edit to change any of the values xmls.
At least the recompile workaround gives us a way to easily test resource edits. Thanks again for the heads up!

no problem, Ive dug in settings and com.htc.resources and see no link in the two. Not arrays, dimens, nothing. all the arrays and sizes for the different fonts are in settings so i dont understand why that would be affected. If i find afix/workaraound ill post it here.
Noticed the fontsize-problem before de/compiling com.htc.resources.apk too, dont know if it works on Stock because i never booted Stock ^^
Besides this, my edited com.htc.resources.apks are still working without problems, even with ROMs based on 1.29.401.1/2
