[Q] TeamGalaxySense progress?

Does anyone know how #TeamGalaxySense's project is going, ever since they stopped the thread no one has really heard anything from them. Just wanna know how it is going
per a post I saw on Androidguys.com they have sense installed and it boots. They expect to release a beta in the next few weeks. I'm quite surprised they have gotten so far so quickly. :up:
It's weird how we desire something just because we don't have it. Example...I was researching ROMs for my girlfriends EVO 4G (ended up with CM 6.1) and I came across a ROM for the EVO that has Touchwiz. I couldn't figure why the hell anyone would want TW on an EVO, and yet here we are wanting Sense for our Captivates, when all the HTC people seem to be interested in getting rid of it.
i want the fancy color wallpaper

yeah Captivate and vibrant will be 1st

I rooted, Flashed, Flashed Again, Then Exchanged lol

I did the ace hack kit and successfully got s-off and full root. I flashed att1 ROM, followed by LeeDroid with the stock kernel, then the Telus Kernel, I had no video support at all. Youtube would not play or even videos I taken with the actual phone would not play.
I then flashed AndroidRevolution with the Telus Kernel and same problem, No video support what so ever, and bad sound quality all together,
Then the audio fix came out and I followed those steps with each of the above mentioned ROM and then developed speaker phone and or microphone problems, Still no video support, and crappy GPS.
After 5 days of flashing ROM, KERNELS, & FIXES I felt like I went back to my captivate of somethings working well and other not working well or not at all,
I flashed back to the rooted stock ROM, to not have WI-FI working at all. Secured or Open, "obtaining IP address" is all it would show for hours. I've rebooted, several times to still trying to "obtain IP Address"
Went back to the UNROOTED stock rom, and the phone was still never the same. Still could not obtain an IP address, Sound was still crappy, and I headed back to my favorite electronics retailer and exchanged it for another one, Soon as the phone started and played it's boot sound, you could tell a world of difference.
I did a full wipe of data, system, cache, and davilk cache before flashing all the ROMs. So i still want root, but I'm not flashing anymore ROM's. Even when the factory kernel source code is released, I'm afraid the ROM flashing is going to be like most other phones, you gain something, you lose something. The Inspire Stock ROM I find to be quite nice, smooth, and fast. The bloatware sucks but once you get your apps on the desktop, you don't even have to open the app drawer to look at them.
So you're saying the phone has been out for one entire week and you're already giving up on it? Weak.
I hate that you had such issues! I have a Craptivate as well so I know exactly what you're talking about. I have to say though, I rooted my Inspire and loaded AFR001 the day the phone was released. I didn't have any problems, but I still updated to AFR002 when it came out. I flashed to stock first just to compare and I have to say, I have no gripes with the Inspire, it's running solid as hell! MUCH better than my Craptivate ever did. I hope I don't do anything to mess this phone up cause I feel like I may have gotten lucky with it & don't want to risk getting a lemon.
Budco, trust me when I tell you this, once we get source code, custom roms on this phone will be NOTHING like what is happening now. This phone is a week old. What we have is amazing when you consider that. Once source code drops and we get real kernels made from source for our hardware, things will be much better.
I have owned HTC phones before and I can tell you this from experience. The HTC custom rom experience is NOTHING like the Captivate.
The captivate ROMS are cobbled together like they are, because there isn't source code for froyo for that phone. There is source for its cousins the i9000 and the Armani and Rogers, but none for the ATT Captivate. This makes you give up one thing to get another etc.
A similar thing is what is happening now. We are seeing things built for the Desire HD and NOT our phone.
Just be patient.

not giving up, just waiting to see if a method is possible without downgrading to a European ROM.

Wipe data/cache and advanced dalvik then flash vfr003 from attn1. Near stock sound and everything works.

Youtube and JetVD videos work fine. I saw someone else advise to wipe data & cache when ROMing. That's the route I followed. I haven't had any problems yet. I hope you get this worked out.

install attn1s stock rom rooted. i've been using it for 3 days and its been perfect. perfect audio, perfect wifi, no issues whatsoever.
also, this should prolly be in general. just sayin.
I'm working on a solution for this, I almost have everything finished and put together for a stock Rom with sidelong and tethering
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
I really think some of you are confused the only roms that video doesn't work are the ones that are for the desire hd (leedroid and Android revolution). All of attn1's versions have working video, at least for me they do. And leedroid did not. I totally agree with you that it is frustrating but you gotta remember we are using software that is not meant for our phones. In a way we are lucky to have this stuff this early. If you want a near stock experience go the rooted stock rom. From what I hear everything works as it should. The only thing I am dealing with is the poor in call sound quality with v003 but my stock in call quality was not perfect when I got the phone.

Keyboard randomly freezes on DHD ROMs!

I have had no major problems with my Inspire 4G while on Inspire 4G ROMs (well... Stock, rooted stock, and Inspired Ace which is customized for the inspire.) On every DHD ROM I have installed, there seems to be a problem with touch input. When typing emails, searches, SMS, and other things random keys will just stop working! Sometimes I can tap them repeatedly and fix it while others you have to exit whatever app you are in and open it back up. It gets really annoying.
I am currently on CoreDroid, but have had this problem with TB Fusion, RCMixHD, and RCMix3D as well. Since Inspired Ace worked fine I tried flashing its HTC_IME.apk to see if this fixed the problem. It didn't. I seem to be the only one with these problems on the Inspire. Has anyone else noticed? Does anyone have any suggestions for what could cause these issues?
(Yes, I am aware of the problems flashing ime packages from other ROMs can cause, I was just trying to see if it fixed the problem. I had to backup zip ready to flash in case it caused FC problems...)
Thanks in advance guys!
I'm using leedroid and I have the same problems of random keys not working at random times.

Wait so there is no possibility of ripping the drivers from stock and flashing or getting a kernel with them? And how come it worked on Inspired Ace? Did gtg465x get the driver issue fixed? Not trying to sound angry there just a bit perplexed since IA was dhd based....

Might be hardware than, I do remember it being brought up and it's unfixable.. I've had it happen on factory stock plenty of times. I just change my screen to horizontal and fixes it.

Hmm... Well mine never did that. Only failed to rotate a few times due to a few malfunctioning third party apps... If i find a fix I will post it.
I've had this as well and thought that maybe it was Better Keyboard having an issue with either the Inspire in general, or CoreDroid. So this is happening to others using the stock keyboard. Glad it's not just me.

No you aren't alone... I consulted gtg465x and he only edited a few things in /system/customize so I flashed the IA /system/customize/default.xml and it seems to have greatly improved. Noticed one of those such lags but it is not the one out of every hundred that it was. I typed this a few other things multiple sms one of which was long and only had to tap one key multiple times to get it to work. And only three taps at that!
If I further test it I will ask gtg for his permission and post the default.xml in a flashable zip.
Now all that is left to do is edit build.prop to make my phone say inspire not dhd then flash from mdj v21 to 23, calibrate battery for this ROM (grr... Coredroid updates wiped my battery stats while it was only at 63 percent charge during install) and then I can finally be happy and leave my phone exactly how it is! Yeah that will last all of what? A week maybe? Haha nah I am happy on coredroid!

I've had this happen to me on multiple ROM's and it always seems to be the "e" key that stops working for me. I just restart my phone or change input methods and it usually fixes it for a while.
Wish there was a permanant fix cause it does get annoying.

According to my research, editing the build.prop file on Sense ROMS doesn't directly reflect what is listed in About Phone. It seems that you have to edit default.xml in /system/custom/CID.... before installing the ROM
Yeah I read the same thing.right after i posted that... Oh well! Maybe when I get bored enough to do it. And after further testing i concluded that changing the default.xml to disable some of the keyboard layouts and things as gtg465x did didn't really help all that much... On the bright side, i may just go back to inspired ace and use uot kitchen to customize it
Sent from my Inspire 4G using XDA App
So nobody has any other potential fixes for these freezes? Has it happened on every ROM you guys have used or what? I tried replacing my customize folder with the one from ia with cut down keyboard languages and layouts but no luck. Maybe we can find a fix!
EDIT: There may appear to be some confusion here. The problem in reference is not that the keyboard fails to rotate, gets stuck in landscape, or shows that a message is being typed and nothing appears on screen. The problem I am having here is that certain keys in random order at completely random times do not work but the keys around them do. This results in messages such as "Hey that bnd sunded relly gd" instead of "Hey that band sounded really good!!!" because the A and O ceased to function and likewise the exclamation point which is with the A. Also, at times the key will show it is being pressed but stops registering before the symbol it relates to is pressed. These problems exist on stock android keyboard and on sense keyboard. Hopefully someone will find a fix in drivers or something otherwise we will have to wait for a cracked official OTA GB update if that ever happens as they say it will...

I´m having the same issue, and it´s driving me crazy!!!
It´s weird, because I´ve had this phone for months, and had no problems, until a week ago.
I´m on Stock ROM BTW.
no solution? this is an on going problem and hard to ignore...
I have to agree with everyone here.. It is a pretty glaring flaw in the Inspire. And many people think that it barely happens.. But it is a problem that occurs for me at least 5 times a day and that is not an exaggeration. Everything that I have been reading does say that this is an impossible thing to fix.. Just a bit frustrating. Does anyone have a way that lessens this from occurring?
ive had this problem also for awhile. ive had it on every custom rom that i can think of. i used coredroid and cm7 for awhile. right now im using miui. ive tried 3-4 different keyboard at least, and had this problem with all of them. the keyboards accuracy also seems to decline. when switching to a new keyboard the problem initially goes away, but it eventually starts doing it again with the different keyboard.
finally! thanks you, guys. Finally I get support for a bug that supposedly didn't exist. I have been out of the rooting and ROM flashing game for a few months, as I got a new Inspire and never got the chance to root it. I finally caught a break from school work and got fed up with having to do battery pulls on the ATT stock ROM (terribly made, I must say. Sense froze daily.) I rooted and flashed the trusty old Inspired Ace and what do you know? flawless. as always. I flash the new coredroid 8.1 to see if the keyboard bug still persisted. For the first day, I had no problems. Then the freezes came back. I think it is very possibly a side effect of the undervolt kernel. As for those that say all phones are not created equally, and my processor just can't take the ROM, is that really likely on two phones in a row while the inspired ace ROM works flawlessly?
Edit: Also, for those that say stick to IA if it works, it hasn't been updated in a long long time and never will be since GTG465x moved to the Captivate
It's not that people don't beleive you, its just that this is not a common enough bug for it to be a software issue. It has to be a specific hardware malfunction. I have never had this problem on any Rom configuration that I have used. I have never seen it as a reported bug either.
Sent from my Inspire 4G Using XDA Premium
Good point... It just still doesn't make since since one DHD ROM didn't do it all yet others do. Coredroid I is not doing it nearly as severely cd6 did. So maybe there is hope that it is a fluke combination of hardware and software bugs rarely manifested.

Well, in preparation for android 4 I decided to get used to AOSP ROMs since they will probably be more widely available than ICS Sense ROMs. After using cm7.1 for just two days, the bug is still there. Note that this is a different inspire than the thread was started on. Does anyone have any solutions? It just makes no sense that this bug does not occur for me on Inspired Ace or Stock but does on every other GB Rom I have tested. For everyone reading this with the urge to pop a comment at me like "Stupid, stick with IA if it works," that ROM has been abandoned since May 5, so it is outdated. Any hopes for ICS roms solving the problem?
Keyboard app is not the problem. Does it on touch input (sense ROMs), swiftkey X, swype, and android default keyboard.

[Q] Best Evo 4G official ROM and build?

Hey! My girlfriend is having a ton of problems with her Samsung Epic 4G, which is no surprise it seems everyone I know who's had a samsung of any kind has had trouble and replacements. She had hers replaced, with the same issues as before, theyve reset it several times... so she bought an HTC Evo. I myself have the Hero and I LOVE it. Ive never had any issues other than with finding the right Sprint build for my needs. Im rooted and changed many things on mine.
So Im wondering, if anyone knows which ROM would be best to have on her new Evo phone? Friend of mine just did an update on his Evo and is having trouble as well now. Im HTC smart, and she's not too avid on technology stuff so I want to make sure she has the most stable ROM and build that is official from Sprint, no custom ROMs please. =D
That would be so greatly appreciated if someone can get back with me!
By no custom ROM's, do you mean you don't plan to root the phone, or you just want to use a rooted OEM ROM like this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1038701
I tested this on my evo 4g today, but I still dont like HTC sense, so I went back to my cyanogen m7 ROM.

[Q] Thinking about getting GS4G

Hey everyone I am possible coming over from the G2x, someone on craigslist offered to even trade me for a perfect condition gs4g, I used to own the vibrant and liked it, seems like there are not as many custom roms as the vibrant, or an ics build, just wondering if this would be a good trade, knowing all the bugs the G2x has.
I own a Vibrant also plus a sgs4g and I really like the 4g alot. You are correct that there aren't as many roms to choose from, but the ones we do have are awesome.
+1 to that. Our few devs are great at what they do.
Go for it. I picked up a g2x a few months back. Used it for a couple months and came back to my sgs4g. The galaxy is a far superior device in every way, except the processor. And the g2x is to much of a headache to make that very slight speed difference worth it.
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda premium
If you like to have many options with flashing stuff like kernels and roms, then don't. If you like what you see here, then yes. I would sell that G2X and get some money to get a GS2. Nuff' said. This phone is a pain when it comes to hacking.

i wouldn't recommend it, i currently am using this and looking to get rid of it, it crashes on me and has to restarted once in 3 days, also i see no signs of android 4.0 coming to this. I'm trying to get the mytouch4g as there is hope for ICS on it (and it has more memory)

That's strange - my SGS 4G doesn't crash on me and reboots have been dealt with... and I see better ROM's coming than ICS. I wonder if it is user error
I have both and can honestly say that g2x is wayyy better... the best roms for the galaxy like ravers are not even close to stability or performance of eaglesblood or Hellfire roms for the g2x. And its also officially supported by cyanogen which is nice to have an actual cm7 and cm9 rom . so if your having issues with the g2x I'd look closer at the forums those old stability issues with the lg software are long gone and you can have a phone that kills the sgs2 in all benchmarks. I'm getting a 5200 in quadrant and can get about a day and a half of decent use.

SGS4G
Hey Guys, this is my first post. I own a SGS4G and I think its a pretty cool phone. I have flashed to a bunch of different ROMS and I have had very little problems with any of them. The biggest problem I have ever ran into was finding the right modem that would switch from Wifi to the Tmobile network properly but the KI3 seems to have taken care of that (running on day 2).
I almost went with the G2 and I probably would have if Tmobile didnt have a really good deal for the SGS4G... but I am very happy with my choice.
