[Q] Ported sense 2.1 (salsa and wildfire s roms) - Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]

1. On the ported salsa rom with sense 2.1 and 3.0 the YouTube app displays the to Chinese videos when you hit browse. I have edited the build prop to say my location is in the us but that didn't help. Someone told me that changing the fingerprint would be the way to go since it is a Chinese one. I would like to know if anyone who has changed the fingerprint to an english one has fixed the YouTube browse problem from displaying Chinese and if there are any side effects from changing the finger print.
2. If I want to port the 3.0 lockscreen to another 2.1 rom what all do I need to change? Simply changing the lockscreen apk isn't enough because I'm still missing the menu to change the apps in the personalize setting.
Signatures are fancy.

Sense 3.0 Lock-screen

I ran across this on the g2x themes page here on xda, it is the sense 3.0 lock screen and it worked on my tab running Jupiter. This is not my work just letting people know, one is a paid version and other a free version, download "Agile Lock" from the market and enjoy.
gawd, really?
Hi guys, girls,
Yes, I suddenly also found a guy nickname don2012 who compiled a bunch of stuff together to mimic the HTC Sense into Galaxy S2 --> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1652355
I tried in, agile lock works 100% I think, my own security lock doesn't come back right after agile lock, but it comes with a big delay, or when you install new apps (funny). Anyway, this agile lock works 10% in terms of potrait landscape autorotate and sizes auto stretch all OK. Dragging icons / functions i.e. camera into it also works 100%.
Sense clock was not as beautiful as fancy widget, it couldn't auto stretch properly.
Sense Launcher works, auto rotate etc, but the HTC 3 main button size is out of shape. Haven't found the right settings to correct them, if it's even possible?
I put the bootanimation into but it didn't show, it showed the old one instead, may be because I renamed the old Obootanimation.zip, may be I should delete it.
Didn't try beats audio and others.
thx good work

Death of CAMDroid 2.0

Hello, From The 13th September 2011 - All of my ROMS for the HTC ChaCha will be under the LightDroider name and I have discontinued CAMDroid + TweetDroid. I can no longer provide support for these ROMS and have no intention to do so. If you need a ROM use LightDroider. Thank You for using this ROM and it is time to update if you are still using it.

Aw man, this is one risky business
For example the already known - removing HTC Sense will cause some weird behavior (for example Settings -> Personalization).
I will test this as soon as possible.
Yeah but if HTC Sense is gone then GOLauncher won't require you to personalize because it will allow you to manually download themes and if you hold the home screen you can set a wallpaper.
This looks tempting, does the search button work do you know?
Will probably try it later.
One drawback with changing Rom I find is link2SD needs re doing each time, I need to re partition the SD after each new Rom. Not sure that's normal. It's not a massive deal but is certainly affecting my down time.
Right now I'm using my legend as didn't have time to sort all the post new Rom admin I seem to keep doing!

ADDED OFFCIAL SKYPE (HTC CHACHA IS NOT COMPATIBLE FOR VIDEO CALLS)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Suggestion: Put IM+ on it since from my point of view is light-weight and you can add multiple accounts (Yahoo, Skype, MSN, etc.). Since video calls are not supported Skype is just an instant messaging software. It's just my suggestion
I will try this rom today if I have time. I just hope it's stable with all the sense stuff taken out.
Ok, first major problem - cannot type number 0 in the PIN code screen
So basically my PIN starts with 0, therefore I cannot unlock it
Can anyone else using this ROM try inserting 0 in the PIN code screen?
Aye: I can confirm, 0/SYM key is not working
Let me see if I can fix it using a keyboard file.
@Tech - any ideas?
Suggestion - Uncheck fast boot from settings so in case something goes wrong we can boot to recovery
Suggestion - Remove "HTC Likes", FM Radio (does anyone actually listen to FM radio on an android smartphone?), News, News&Weather.
Hint: There are still some remnants of HTC Sense on yet though
All screens that have the blue bar on the right are from Sense (for example USB connection screen).
Same here. Cannot type 0 and have 0 in the pin code. Any fix?
Unfortunately had to jump off into a meeting so I restored my previous backup. Didn't have any time to check for a fix. Try using a keyboard file (update.zip) from the Flashable keys thread and see if that works.
Did just that and was thinking of updating the post right before you did. If you take the keyboard files from the flashable keylayouts thread and replace them in the rom zip file it works. Apparently they are missing completly from the rom zip.
Gonna use the rom today and let you know what else i can find.
LE: The bootanimation and downanimation are currenty named hTC_bootanimation and hTC_downanimation and that's why they don't work. They need to be named
bootanimation.zip and downanimation.zip
LE2: Apparently by using the keylayout from the keylayout thread, the english one, other keys get scrambled. Looking into it.
Please use lightdroider a.s.a.p - this is finished now and if i said i was going to make 2.1 - i am not.
Lightdroider is more faster and has more space for you.

A Few AddOns for IC 3.4.1 ?

Hello my dear Friends,
I have the IC 3.4.1 Mods with the newest Bricked Kernel. I want to have just a couple of more improvments, can you help me out?
1. Is there an smooth, transparent app drawer with Pages for IC 3.4.1 ?
2. I cant set a full wallpaper, even if its in the sensation resolution, i can only choose a small cut out of the picture.
3. I have problems with the GSM reception, what Radio should I install for a german network?
4. Maybe a CRT animation for IC?
Thanks and excuse my English
Hi
OK, about the first two questions, You could flash the Thyparancy Theme found in the themes section which will give you that transparent app drawer like you wanted, right now there isnt too many sense 3.5 themes but that will change.
Second, Yeah it is a bit annoying but it seems that HTC has removed the wallpaper scrolling part, but not from where you select the wallpaper. I found the best way around this was to use photoshop or any editing program and add extra canvas on the sides, which allowed me to put a thin image as my background. Hope that made sense..
I don't know about radios, but there is a thread about radios in the Android Development part for the sensation.. maybe try there

[Q] HTC Dream, Customizing ROM need help

Hello, Im a noob lol
Gone a few weeks now doing research and downloading appropriate software, mods, apps etc to customize a ROM for personal use, however I came into a noob bump.
I would like to edit the standard HTC Dream Settings menu (Where you can see ADWLauncher or CyanogenMod Settings) and I Would like to know the name of the file and its location to edit the menu.
Also the same for the defaults that get loaded (like desktop shortcuts, ringtones etc) location and file name so I can edit that too xD
Model: HTC Dream (G1), CyanogenMod 6.1.0

Anyone interested in a near-working Wildfire S "port"?

I found a guide that mentions basic Sense porting to another Sense device. I tried this with this Wildfire S ROM for a few reasons:
--I prefer the "standard" HTC Sense as found on any other device (ie. Black status bar, black apps, etc.)
--I wanted to see how well it'd run
--I wanted to see if there'd be any problems with anything
After following the above guide, I notice only the following bugs:
--Camera is upside down
--Rosie keeps force closing because of forced landscape orientation so I have to use an alternate launcher
--Lockscreen is always in Portrait no matter what
--Keypad backlights don't turn on
--Facebook button doesn't work (duh)
--(New)GPS doesn't work - need to mess with GPS libs when I have more time
--(New)The FM Radio app's graphics are messed up
To try and fix the Rosie problem, I tried copying over the Rosie.apk and Rosie.odex from the Chacha's 2.3.5 OTA, but no dice, the system doesn't even see it.
Anyone have any tips on how I could fix any of the above? I'm no dev, and I only tried this for (basically) the fun of it to see how it'd turn out and my "experience", so to speak, only goes as far as swapping files here and there - I felt like the Development forum was the best place to post this. Apologies if it isn't.
good attempt! nice to see to back into work. May be some developers can help you out.
I would like to apologize first, as it is 08:19 in the morning and I'm already drunk. lol.
Well, let's start with the easy bits:
1. --Keypad backlights don't turn on
Mainly the thing is that the Wildfire S ROM does not have support (or it is not activated) for a physical keyboard; therefore the need for backlight is redundant. To fix this you will either have to manually add the code lines or un-comment them. I suggest talking with adlx or xdbg since both of them have implemented this feature in the two custom ROMs.
2. --Facebook button doesn't work (duh)
As above, the ROM doesn't know (or doesn't want to know) about the physical keyboard. Same suggestions as above.
3. Landscape/portrait issues.
Well. The main problem here is the android system. By definition it detects the longest size on the display and sets it as the height. Therefore you'll have a tough time fixing the standard display to landscape. As above, I suggest speaking with the devs that worked on these roms and implement the ChaCha kernel files into the Wildfire ROM.
Aaaaaand that's about it I guess. I wish you good luck!
Drunk, this early??
Good effort!

Nice!
For the backlight, maybe you could try using system/lib/hw/lights.msm7k.so from the stock Chacha rom, or even from SuperOSR...
You cannot copy/paste an apk+odex file, it will probably never work. Try deodexing it first, then copy it.
I guess this is the right place to ask

I copied lights.msm7k.so from SuperOSR, and the keyboard backlight works now.
I used an application on my laptop called xUltimate to deodex both this ROM and Chacha 1.54 stock, and the only things that wouldn't deodex are the Lockscreen and Rosie :/
Camera appears right-way round/up if a 3rd party camera app is used
Additional bugs I've noticed after trying it out a bit again:
--GPS doesn't work - I'll mess around with gps libs tomorrow when I have a bit more time
--The FM radio app's graphics are messed up
For gps try also to use stock chacha libsensors (or something like that)
the right names for the files are:
/system/lib/hw/gps.chacha.so
/system/lib/hw/sensors.chacha.so
try using the one from SuperOSR.
Is this ROM going to be official released anytime soon because I am working on a ROM from another HTC device aswell and was wondering if you needed any assistance on final touches?
TechMayhem
This would interest me greatly, as I really love the "standard" sense and was quite disappointed with the amount of white/light colours used in the ChaCha's version, and how it just doesn't seem to fit in very well at all with the HTC family. Would it be possible to use the Desire Z's rosie? As that supports landscape natively.

Tbh, I haven't done anything on this for a while because I started flashing CM7/SuperOSR.
From what I can remember, the following things wern't working:
-Lockscreen - Always in Portrait, won't rotate
-Rosie - Force-close loop, had to replace with an alternate launcher
-GPS - Icon doesn't appear in the status bar
-FM/Dailer/maybe others - Graphics messed up due to forced landscape resolution
That's all I managed to check before I got caught up in crackflashing XD
I am by no means a dev - all this was done by replacing files in a Wildfire S ROM with ones from SuperOSR/stock Chacha

Precisely why I tried this in the first place - I wasn't expecting all this white, which doesn't make the Chacha feel like an HTC as much to me - I already tried the Desire Z's Rosie - while it did work, all the icons were huge (because of it being scaled for HDPI screens). Dunno about widgets.
Once I find it amongst all the crap I have on my laptop, I could upload it if anyone might have an idea how to fix what's left and to see what else is broken?
