[Q] Questing about ROMS - HTC Sensation

Hi Guys I had a quick question. I have been using Insert Coin Rom for the last few weeks and love it. However I have never been able to get the market to download some of my banking apps. I know thats because the build.prop and other things like that define the phone as the European model. So I tried to change the various lines in it and couldn't get it to work. So I downloaded the Android Revolution ROM which I also have used and love. I noticed it had a folder called additions and in it was a Tmous folder that had a different build.prop and different GPS file and a few other things.
So basically what I did was just copy these files from the Revolution rom and pasted them into the zip of the InsertCoin Rom and then reflashed and it worked. My market now knows what my phone is. I also pasted in some files from the lib folder.
So onto my question. Is there anything negative that willl come from this that I don't realize? Does this mess up my insertcoin rom by pasting in the entire build.prop and a few other files from the Android Revolution HD rom?

Try Market Enabler.

Tried that as well as Market Access app. Neither of these would work. I just copy and pasted the config file from the Revolution rom to the insertcoin rom then flashed. I am curious as to why some developers make a folder called additions or tmous and have the phone checked and if it is tmous it installs the stuff from the seperate folder. Makes things so much easier. I know CtDroid and Android Revolution HD roms do this. Insertcoin rom does not do this as far as I know.

[Q] ROM patch question

Can the DesireHD > Inspire4G patch LeeDroid posted for his ROM be ok to use with another ROM? (Android Revolution?)
...or any of the other add-ons?
I guess what I'm trying to ask is.. Are add-ons such as this, or the flying animation add-on (which I found posted on LeeDroid's ROM thread) safe to use with other custom ROMs or are they tweaked by each individual dev for their own ROM? I guess I could just nandroid backup and test it
Yes as long as it isn't a AOSP ROM

They should be as long as the dev didnt make any changes for their rom. I know with my rom no other themes or mods will work for it unless they were made for my rom itself.
It will work fine for the audio and gps fixes. However, to change the phone identity to inspire 4G not desire hd this fox must be flashed over the ROM before first boot, otherwise dhd build.prop and default.xml identities will be read.
Also... It may change your boot screen back to stock Android depending on where the boot screen in your ROM is stored due to the chnges in default.xml

Streaming DLNA Flashable from Stock Rom??

Currently Running Virtuous Inquisition v4.0.2 and I have lost the ability to stream from my phone via DLNA to my Smart TV.
Is this something I can flash over this ROM or is it a feature of only the stock and Sense ROMs?
I really like the feature for sharing my pics from the gallery over WiFi to the TV.
Anyone with any suggestions, I really appreciate it.
Wink
search dlna on market! alot of app
Hi - There are many that stream from ....I want to....
Its a new feature in the STOCK HTC Sensation ROM. but missing in the Virtuous Inquisition v4.0.2 ROM
I can do those things with the HTC gallery so i guess you have to pull out 2 APKs from a Sense ROM (HTCAlbum.apk and maybe HtcDLNAMiddleLayer.apk). Just download any Sense ROM and open the zip, find the two apks mentioned under system/app. Put them in system/app folder in your phone using Root Explorer app and touch and hold the apk and choose permission to set the permission to rw-r-r then reboot. I'm using HyperNonSense (its a sense base rom without HTC Sense) and did something like this to have NetworkLocation. Correct me if i'm wrong, i think VI is also Sense base so it should be ok to put some HTC apps in there...
Hi - I actually tried that before you posted but without success. The HTC Album appears in my drawer but when I open it and select pictures/video/music it FC's
I copied from another ROM as many APKs I could find that looked to be involved in the DLNA proccess
Any more thoughts...Come on lets crack this!
After putting the two apks in system/app folder and setting their permissions, try installing HtcDLNAMiddlelayer.apk like a normal apk... Then reboot...
Dont forget to do a Nandroid back up before all this...

Stock inspire camera on CM7?

I want the stock inspire camera on my cm7. Can I make that happen? I don't like the other ones on the market...
Sent from my Desire HD using xda premium
Look into how to extract the apk. Not sure if it's possible or how it's done. It is the only thing I can think of.
Sent from a dream.
Unzip the stock rooted rom and take the apk out if system>app folder then install using es file explorer and see if it works with cm7.

I'm pretty sure it's not possible. The sense camera is designed specifically for HTC Sense ROM, it won't work on any other rom. I've tried for ages to get any sense camera to work on a non sense rom to no avail. The miui camera is the closest you'll get to the sense camera (still very poor IMO), but you can find an apk/flashable zip for that on the web.
Oh my. Seems not only does the OP not know how to search but neither do a bunch of others.
Had any of you looked for the answer before responding you would know that no HTC apps will work on AOSP based roms. The drivers and framework needed are not there. The coding is different. This has been covered hundreds of times.
So a word to everyone. Try looking for the answer before replying to questions you dont know the answer to.

App versions in ARHD 6.7.0?

Could someone tell me what version the mms.apk is in 6.7.0?
And also, if you know what other apks were changed with the update, could you list them too?
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using xda premium
Thanks everyone, you've been a great help. -_-
I decided to flash 6.7.0 myself and compare some of the essential apks. Most if not all of the ones i checked have been updated.
mms.apk for example has been updated to 3.5.2215192631.376509
If you had problems with the contact pictures in mms.apk like i did but don't want to update to ARHD 6.7.0, updating the app will fix it.

[APP]Sense 4.1 Camera from the One X [08.13.12 Screenshots]

As you probably all heard the rumors about Sense 4.5 and the camera that worked its way through XDA was not completely functional.
HTC announced the One X International android 4.0.4 Sense 4.1 update rolled out. So I googled the Camera and found a flashable zip in the One X forums.
Credits for mod/zip:
ALL CREDIT GOES TO HIM, IM NOT THE ORIGINAL POSTER, JUST RE-POSTING WHAT IVE FOUND.
Disclaimer:
I'm not responsible for what you choose to do with your already rooted device, etc.
The zip won't flash. It will abort installation so just follow the steps below to install:
Screenshots:
Installation Instructions:
1. Download zip HERE (DropBox link)
2. Extract zip contents to SD Card.
3. Backup your original files individually or do a nandroid backup of your system partition.
4. Use Root Explorer (or other type app) to copy all files in zip to proper locations (as shown below
Zip contents:
--- system/app Camera.apk
--- system/etc media_profiles.xml
--- system/lib libhtccamera.so
--- system/lib libOlaEngineNew.so
5. Set all permissions to look like rw-r--r-- (ie. Like every other system file)
6. Change Owner (root explorer option press n hold and scroll to bottom) to root (0) and root (0).
7. Click on camera app once in system app directory and perms and owner are set and actually install the app.
After Install (thing to know, bugs, etc):
- All settings from previous Camera app will be there
- Video recording will work from HD and down. Camera app will close if you try the Full HD setting for video recording.
- Slow Motion video will cause the camera app to close also. Most likely kernel related.
- FFC works fine for me on picture and video...as well as a 0.3 VGA can work. Functionality seems fine.
- Touch Focus reported not working on ViperS ROM.
- Touch to take photo works great for me (on IC Evolution 2.20) and focus is clear for me as well.
Enjoy. I like it, so other may as well.

Well it was posted in the sensation forums so yes. And the OP seems to have tried it so yes.
Sent from my pyramid...
do we have to delete the original camera.apk
does it work on aosp roms?
1. Yes it is compatible with the Sensation on a Sense 4 ROM only. I'm running InsertCoin Evolution 2.20 Final. Works fine.
2. The Camera.apk will overwrite the original. Follow the steps posted to either backup the files individually or use nandroids advanced backup feature to backup the system partition.
3. Idk about AOSP. Its a Sense camera so I guess if the AOSP ROM is based off a Sense 4 base then go ahead and try it and report back.
Like I said, working great for me on Sense 4.0.

I wouldn't have thought so as you would need some of the sense 4 libs... You could try though.

Why not do a backup and try it yourself. I'm not on that ROM or switching ROMs but it will install and function on a Sense 4.0 ROM so what have you got to lose?

this camera mod is NOT designed for CM10, it has broken your system probably because a sense camera mod will only work on a sense rom or a sense based rom. You will probably have to reinstall your rom, its advisable to make a nandroid backup of your rom just in case things go wrong so you can revert back
Did I miss something? The screenshots are not showing in the OP for me.

Really nice work bro.
Still have to modify camera script for full functionality.
Overall great work. And also thanx to devs related to original post.
Any idea what it would take to get this working with JB?

Just as a heads up, this won't work on AOSP. I have the hybrid rom (PACman) on my MT4GS, and it could not install. At first, I thought I did the install wrong, but turns out it's because it's not based on a sense rom. Long story short, this won't work on most other roms except those based around the HTC Sense.
Such a shame, if one thing HTC got right, it was the camera app.
Would be nice if anyone could port the camera app and make it flashable, but gotta make do with what there is.

Sense apps require sense framework so a port would be pretty much impossible... No sense only apps will work on AOSP.
