[Q] ??? Power Control Widget and Vanilla Lockscreen Chooser Possible ??? - EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So I found this thread that has a Power Control Widget and Lockscreen Chooser that you can flash on the EVO 4G. My questions is can this be ported over or modified and made to work on our EVO Shift. So that we can flash it on our phones. I know they're using it on some roms as part of the rom.

This should be able to be ported over. Here is what you do:
1. DL Original base of EVO 3.70
2. DL MOD from thread
3. Compare the files from the MOD to the original using WinMerge - figure out what has been changed.
4. Compare the files from the MOD to original files from a Shift and try to bring those changes over to the Shift's files.
It seems really simple but there are a bunch of problems that usually jump up. I tried a few of the seemingly easier ones but was having trouble. But an easier way than porting this awesome MOD would be just use CM7

Sounds fairly straight foward. But, then again a lot of things do. I think I'll just leave it up to someone else for now. Might give it a shot if I get brave. Using the Mik v1.1, too set on it to change

The app is called WidgetLocker. For the notification bar Widgetsoid. But what I was talking about would be built into the rom itself. Not an add on app.

[REQ] REAL lockscreens

Hey,
You've all seen the lockscreen types:
-You have seen the actual lockscreens that can be chosen from the main phone settings. They come stock with the phone, and custom ones in ZIP files. Usually, the custom ones need to be flashed via CWM. They are immediately present when the unlock button is hit - a standalone app doesn't need to open/use up memory while the phone is locked. They're usually relatively simple.
-Then there are the standalone application lockscreens found on the market. They usually are adorned with a variety of nice gadgets/gizmos, and are very well polished. Some examples of these are: "GOTO Lockscreen", "Simply Lockscreen", and "Widget Locker". The downside? These applications need to open when you hit your unlock button, meaning sometimes you'll actually be seeing your homescreen first, and then your lockscreen once it's all loaded up.
My request is this: can we please get some more REAL lockscreens (the ones flashed via CWM) that are as decorated as the ones available as standalone applications?
Doing this would ensure our phones can have beautiful lockscreens without the shoddy startup of the standard application lockscreens.
Thanks.
It would be great to have some custom lockscreens for AOSP Roms like Redux or Oxygen, too.

Personally, I'd want the lockscreens to be universal to 2.2+ phones, but if that's impossible based on all the different ROMs, then some fancy ROM specific lockscreens can't hurt, right?

[Q] 3.0 Lockscreen with weather and Shortcuts

I have seen the .apk to install the 3.0 lockscreen and gotten it to work on MikShifted G Sense 2.1 but I am wondering if there is a working version of the 3.0 lockscreen with weather and shortcuts available that will work?
I think it may have to be intergrated into the ROM itself with multiple files. I have no idea what ones or how to do it though.
Yeah last night I tried to put the new lock screen on mikshift...it didn't work lol I was kinda bummed but all I did was use root explorer and copy/paste because I really don't feel like tearing a great rom apart for that cool little lock screen or to see if it could be added
Sent from my PG06100 using Tapatalk
I think the 3.0 lockscreen with working shortcuts might already be in the works for MikShifted G - Sense2.1 Beta. You can check over on theMikMik for updates. I'm using this version now and it has the Sense 3.0 lockscreen working without shortcuts.

You probably didn't change the permissions and rebooted.
If you only copy and pasted it, it will not work.

Here you go . Remember it's still in Beta, but I've been running this rom for a while now. Zero issues .
http://themikmik.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=178&t=940
I'm running the rom too, I think your post is the one that made me choose it. I was using kingdom's rom and loved 3.0 lockscreen.
I love the battery life. I got the lockscreen from kingdom's rom and dropped the apk on my phone but sadly when I would try and install it it wouldn't work. I also put the apk into the rom zip folder tried flashing it and I would get stuck on the android screen. Removed the 3.0 apk and it loaded up fine.

It disturbs me when Cooks call their rom Non Sense or Sense Less, yet they still leave at least 1 Sense item in the Rom. If you were willing to recook your ROM without the sense lock screen I would be willing to give you a mirror off my colocated server.
Well thanks but no thanks. Im fine with multiupload. And i kept the lockscreen FOR A REASON. Thats the best aspect of the new 3.0 sense. Duh. I dont know where u get off calling me a cook. If you check my Rom i compiled 12 apks from aosp source code. So you can keep your opinions to your self.

The lockscreen sucks. I might agree with you if it was the customizable version but the doubleshot version is lame.
Ok. Well please test this version for Me. I will change the lockscreen to aosp if that is the demand.

I personally love double shot screen lock a lot more then the AOSP one, and the HTC Sensation (3.0) one.
Reason being, its simple, I don't need apps on my locks screen. I don't see the point of it, I might as well not have a lock screen if I'm always needing to access my apps.
This is of course a personal thing, but its slightly a gimmick, I just want to slide unlock and call it good. If the feature was there, I wouldn't complain, but I'm not begging to have it either.
Also to note, I much prefer this stripped down version of sense a lot more than the full blown version. Its faster and does not slow down over time like I have noticed with the full version. Downloadable themes would be nice though.
And while I'm at it, I don't like how many shortcuts are on this phone to do the exact same things, like the notification bar Quick Settings, and the Personalize menu. Too many routes to get to the same places.
Downloading to test now. Will report back shortly.
In all honesty thanks for developing and getting the community open to roms. Love to check xda and not see a bunch of "when are we getting roms" threads.
Thank you. Let me know how you like it.

Sorry I didn't mean to rub anyone the wrong way.
I thought cooks were anyone who puts together custom roms. I am just not a fan of The sense 3.0 lock screen, that is it. If you were to make your Rom without the Sense lock screen then maybe offer a CWM update for just the lock screen for people who want that, I think your ROM would cater to everyone. As it is I am still waiting on my 4G slide to arrive.

There's a reason they're called shortcuts. Because they take fewer steps to get there. If I get an email its quicker to slide a gmail icon and get there than unlock then go into apps and open gmail. Same with the quick settings. If I want to turn on wifi its just much faster than hitting menu then settings the wireless settings. I always thought that shortcuts were self-explanatory as to why they exist.
Oh got ya. No cooks are people who take people roms throw them in Rom kitchen and do little mods. Dont get me wrong this is cooked but there are compiled parts as well so i guess u can call it half baked.

I like the lock ring, and am interested in hearing others feedback about this rom. Thanks for putting it out there, I still haven't mustered the courage to s-off and root my phone.

I'm 99% sure that if you use root explorer to remove HTCLockscreen.apk from the system/apps folder it'll revert to the stock android lockscreen. Problem solved! You can download this ROM and delete the HTCLockscreen apk and you'll be golden.
I too like the lock ring. I find the sensation's lock ring with shortcuts to be kind of gimmicy to be honest.
Is this a true Sense-less rom? I installed Tasteless Venom, and while I love it, when trying to connect a Wii controller to it, it still says the phone is running HTC Sense, so it won't work.
I'm a heavy gamer and emulator user (major reason why I got the phone ), and being able to connect a Wii controller or PS3 Controller is a MAJOR thing for me..
No this still is a sense based rom. He just deleted some sense apk's.

*(ROM)* SLIM Virtuous [16th Nov] - debloated & swyped!

First - huge thanks to team Virtuous - this is all there work, I have just debloated.
If Virtuous finds this offensive then please do the necessaries and remove this thread, it doesn't phase me, I just thought I'd spend couple hours putting this together for the average MT4Gs flasher
Having had great success with the VU ROM supplied in this forum, I decided to kindly post a version I am currently using - which has around 120mb of unwanted apps/media removed. (system partition comes to around 332mb rather then around 530mb which I had with the original VU rom.)
Orig ROM 376mb
This ROM 246mb (8mb of which are new wallpapers placed on sd - hence 238mb.)
(media is very slim, contains my custom mario notifications and only 2 ringtones: 'Crystal Silence' and 'Again & Again'.)
I have added around 8mb of wallpapers to the new /sdcard/virtuous_unity/wallpaper folder.... use gallery to apply
Removed majority of default skins & lockscreens - I use Honey HD or Slate 3D for skins & only want the basic lockscreen (no weather, clock lockscreen etc.)
The ONLY HTC Widget I included is calendar, as I have no need/want for the others.
Finally, I have no real need for flashy bootanimations, so I have replaced the ~8mb VU anime for a basic/lightweight one I could find (1.5mb droid b/w version.)
Instructions:
Ok, I like to retain as much of my data & apps prior to flashing.
I use MyBackUpPro to backup data (specifically, call logs, sms/mms, dictionary, bookmarks, android home, android settings.)
Similarly use Titanium Backup to backup (any newer apps/versions before flashing any new rom), then to Restore these apps with data post new rom flash. I find it takes you back nicely to the state you were at... that's just my way though
Do a Nandroid Backup!
1 I am running this on Modaco 4.0.0.9!........ I can't say if this will work on the newer/latest recovery as I am having issues using that recovery with any rom, so I can't help diagnose if it fails to install on that recovery for you.
2 Toggle Signature Verify (in recovery under 'other' I think) : Turn Signature Verification OFF (allowing you to flash unsigned .zip files) - this should hopefully be set to Verification OFF by default I believe!
3 wipe everything
4 flash this rom
5 flash the 2.39.1 patch (found in VU goodies link below.)
6 flash optional "Smooth_Scrolling_App_Drawer" update (I like the 5*5 app draw personally - 3 versions available...found in VU goodies link below.)
7 flash optional battery mod (found in VU goodies link below.)
8 reboot
9 Swype will be expired. You need to edit the build.prop manually as it doesn't stick when hard coding it into the roms build.prop.
You will need root explorer - Install 'root explorer' manually using filepicker/explorer where root explorer can be found here for installation 'sdcard/virtuous_unity/app.rom' folder.
10 Now open root explorer and navigate to the system folder, now mount R/W. Hold press the build.prop file and Edit in Text pad, down to around line 64 and edit ro.product.brand=htc_wwe.... by replacing htc_wwe with tmous this is case sensitve Save & Exit from this text editor.
Now 'Save & Exit' this file.
11 Now Power off the device
12 Battery pull!!!!!!!!
13 Insert battery
14 Power back on.
15 enjoy
(you will notice in the lock screen, of the 4 icons, the 2nd one defaults to Mail.apk - however, I have removed this from this rom as I am a gmail.apk user only - goto personalize, lock screen, wallpaper (current) and customize this default configuration.)
That's about it - Nothing major here - just a slimline VU rom.
I won't be supporting this per-say - I'm here simply sharing, providing MT4Gs users with another option
I will say that the force close that came with the original VU Rom - post boot up/turn on device (I'd receive a HTC Sense fc) on every boot up - however I'm not getting that on this stripped down version - a bonus I guess

(swype is only around 2mb, where as HTC_IME is around 8mb... hence this rom currently uses HTC_IME.apk)

Been running for 2 days, superb battery & no fcs no errors whatsoever. And that's the truth moreso then what others are saying every other day they update there roms, like 'its perfect, flawless, bug free' when really they are far from it, annoyed at what was going on, I chose to do this to VU, cos it works so well.
I challenge anyone to make this rom crash. Booooyaaaaaa

Just a couple things....
One putting a paid app in a rom and distributing it is a violation of rules here so you might want to replace root explorer with a free app like ES File Explorer (think you can edit the build prop with it)
Plus all you have done is delete a few apps and then post it as a ROM which would be wrong...I mean you just deleted a few sense parts...the Size of the ROM is not a big deal with an Android ROM...Linux and Windows run differently with RAM and space...but I really don't see why you post this as a new ROM you could of potentially just posted this in the VU thread and Chris could of put it in the OP if he felt was a need to post....I am not dogging the fact you can delete apps...although not to hard for anyone to do....

[APP][SENSE 3.6/4/4A/4.5][2012/9/17 1.42]HTC Lockscreen Shortcut Provider

This is my second Android app. I develop this little app because I prefer 3rd party launcher (e.g. Apex) than existing Sense 4 Rosie. Existing hacked Sense 4 Rosie (full version) currently doesn't support non Sense widget correctly and is less feature-rich than many other launchers.
Even if you install a 3rd party launcher, Rosie still consume your precious memory as a system service. But if you freeze Rosie and thus release it from memory, you'll lose your lockscreen app shortcuts. After painstakingly reviewing the codes in HTC shortcut components, I found that Rosie actually act as a content provider to supply information of its launcher bar shortcuts to lockscreen. So without Rosie, lockscreen has no information to construct its shortcuts. Therefore I wrote this little app to replace the role of Rosie as the content provider. What's more, it allows you to select your own apps with a simple config screen and store the data separately. And it doesn't stay in the memory permanently.
Installation instructions:
Uninstall Rosie (Freezing doesn't work because Android doesn't allow two content providers of same type) ** You're reminded to make a backup first **
Install HTC Lockscreen Shortcut Provider
Run Lockscreen Shortcuts
Select your app for the 4 shortcuts
Hit back to save settings and notify HTC lockscreen

** Currently this app has been tested to work with Sense 3.6, 4, 4A and 4.5 **

1.1 just uploaded. No need to reboot now!
Is that also working if i just want different icons on my lockscreen than on my Sense Launcher bar?
Just wanted to ask that.
Nice app bro!

It doesn't work that way currently because this app replaces Rosie and cannot coexist with it.
But what you want to do can be done. You need to mod the idlescreen_Base.apk to use a different message to request for the shortcuts and change my app to listen to that message. This way, Rosie can coexist with this app and lockscreen will communicate with this app for the shortcuts.

You are my hero!
I needed this so badly wow you did exactly what I dreamed that some1 should create
Update:
Its not working.. :\
I thought it did at first but I guess it was still because of the last run of the HTC Rosie Sense.
After a restart the icons are gone and no matter if I go back to the app and rechange the list, the lockscreen is still empty.. :\
Can I help in any way to make it work? Perhaps sending some log files?

Can you give me more information?
What ROM are you using?
Did you see a toast (popup message) "Notified HTC lockscreen" after saving the shortcuts settings?
If possible a logcat would help
I'm quite confident that it works for DHD since it's so similar to IncS if you're using a supported ROM.
I will give this a try. I hope it works because I am using Blackout ROM (Sense 3.6). It is just what I was looking for! Rosie looks nice but takes too much memory and is very feature limited so I want a third party launcher but still want to try and use a Sense based rom.
Thanks man and hope it works .
Thank you
Gooooooood work ! :good:
That's exactly what i was looking for
Thank you very much.

Please report back your result since I'm not sure if it works in Sense 3.6. If it doesn't I still can find a way to add support to it.

* ROM is Sabsa 4.1 (its based on Sense 4A)
* I did see the message.
* How do I get logcat?
People that managed to make this work please write down your ROM, I don't care to switch ROM right now, this is more important

For logcat, you can use aLogcat. For your ROM, can you send me the idlescreen_Base.apk in the /system/app folder?

Doesn't work dude. I deleted rosie, installed your app, put the apps i wanted as shortcuts and everything looked fine until trying to open the apps from the lockscreen. When i try to do that nothing happens and the phone unlocks at home screen. Will try to provide logcat tomorrow. Can't do it now cause I'm on the road.

OK I got some new info,
I tried a different ROM and in this one it kinda works
I use now ROM Sabsa Bliss 1.0 (Sense 3.6 ICS) (new one from today)
For now it shows the icons but if I run one of them it just unlock with out opening it
Here are the files you asked (I added from all of my ROMs I had on my PC):
https://www.dropbox.com/sh/rvhvfm9fv87un0b/dzXRmNZqgS
I hope it will help to make this work
P.S

It just scans out for nonestop.. do I need to wait really long for it to finish or I manually stop it?

I know about the issue in Sense 3.6 and I'll try to find a solution. As for aLogcat, after it's running, you need to go to the lockscreen and unlock it. Go back to aLogcat and save the log file and send it to me. If the lockscreen generate any error, I'll be able to see it.
This is log from sabsa prime 3.0

The idelscreen apk file is not listed on this ROM, not on the zip and not on my phone..

The link to your dropbox has nothing. Can you check?
oops sorry, try this one:
https://www.dropbox.com/sh/frdro0hph30n84v/txm1CtAPQn
it includes all the idlescreen_base apk files + logs in some of them
I tried now trickdroid (Sense 4A) ROM and it does the same error it did in any sense4A ROM I tried, it won't show any icons at all,
I added a log cat to this folder (theres also another one in sabsa 3.0)
I hope it helps
