Hi all
I know other people have posted similar threads, but not with (somewhat obviously) the same personal requirements. Here's what I'm looking for:
1) A ROM compatible with the O2 UK network.. yes, I know it pretty much should be anyway, but I've used an O2 ROM on my Desire S in the past and the voicemail speeddial was set to the Spanish number. It's unlikely to be an issue assuming I can set the speeddial assigned to 1 on the keypad - but still.. My voicemail number is 901.
2) No custom screens - ie. I don't want it to be apparent that the phone is running a custom ROM, so no personalised loadup screens (although I'm possibly open to different icons assuming I can see what they look like before I install the ROM).
3) Bloatware removed. I don't even have any intention of using Facebook or Twitter.
4) General speed improvements alongside greater stability, if possible.
5) Optimum battery life! At the moment, I get three days at a stretch out of my Sensation with no background data and light to medium useage. I conditioned the battery to get this and am fairly happy with it, but would like a very comfortable three days if possible. I think I easily got this before I installed the latest official software update and now no longer do.
Is that all hoping for too much? Thanks for your help in advance.

EddyOS 2.08 rom, pretty much stock but bloat free and with a couple improvements.

Now, people have asked you to use normal colour for text but you still use cyan, so from now on every post of yours I come across will be reported if it's in cyan. Please, there is absolutely no need for that colour to be used all the time.

I've been seeing screens with these custom lockscreens. How do I go about getting some of these? Do I have to create them myself? Sorry if I sound like a total newbie. I'm probably gonna be stuck with my Hero for another year because of Sprint's changes. Can someone point me in the right direction?

Most people use widget locker in order to get a custom lock screen. It's a paid app though.

now if you just want an alternate lockscreen there is a few lockbot is the best but i will say its very laggy and half the time your system lockscreen overrides it
I really just want something that actually replaces the stock screen. Whenever up tried using lockscreen apps they tend to be buggy and... like you said, the stock screen overrides the app. I just want something flashable that overrides the stock screen, not the other way around.
I haven't had time to search for anything but will try tomorrow.

I've not seen any actual lock screen replacements. Cm7 has about 5 different styles but i haven't seen any replacement lock screens in a while since everyone was putting vanilla lock screens on sense

word, using widget locker is legit, paid for app but its great!! I have 3 different widgets on the screen and it's only not worked like once but i think it was a phone issue not the actual program.
Hey guys just wanted to show you some screenshots of the famous CyanogenMod. I am running version 7.1.0. I haven't had any real problems with the ROM yet and i have been running it for about a month. Only thing i have really noticed is that it won't vibrate when i get a text message... even when its on vibrate. Another thing that bugs me is that you do not have the option to set a Live Wallpaper... but you get over it. The kernel i am using is the stock kernel with this ROM... I am wanting to flash a 1.5GHZ kernel, but i never seem to have that much luck flashing kernels and always get stuck at the boot screen. This ROM is plenty fast enough and very smooth on the stock kernel. I also get amazing battery life. Check out the thumbnails below.
Um...not sure what to say. CM7 has been out for the Sensation for a couple months.

Just saw you had troubles getting your phone to boot after a kernel flash. Do you wipe cache and dalvik before you reboot ? If not, that might be the reason it gets stuck in a loopboot.

I just flashed the 1.73ghz faux kernel and i got it to work. =) i also attached a thumbnail of SetCPU showing the clock speed.
Nice let us know how it performs. I'm on HD Rom now with 1.56Ghz Kernel. Happy with the phone as is but always looking for potential improvements. Particularly I want more "4G" speed, not sure there's much I can do about that though.

Why but a sense equipped phone and then downgrade it with ugly CM7? You should really have bought a samsung, at least then the ugliness would be vivid, very bright and have a greenish tinge.
But if thats your preference, enjoy it - We are all different after all

I know some are having problems achieving root and S-OFF on their MT4G's that ship with 2.3.4.
A dev named Frigid has made a pretty powerful program that does that for you in no time.
Here's the link: http://itechnow.com/root-s-off-unlo...-3g4g-inspire-awesome-with-htc-super-tool-v2/
Obviously all credits go to him, so maybe that might be of help to some new users having problems downgrading and such.
Holy crap. Can anyone confirm this works on 2.3.4?
Nice find by the way.

Jack_R1 said:
If they're just using gfree "as is" - then it won't work on Panache, and won't work on MT4G either. Unless gfree was updated and I don't know of a new version, it can't deal with 0.89.0005 bootloader on MT4G with Android 2.3.4 and on Panache.
Judging by the comments, the author of the script just grabbed several tools and put them together in one menu, he didn't change any of them and most of the comments state that this "tool" doesn't work for their phones.

Didn't find them yet. I guess it depends on a specific ROM. I'm using VA 1.48.
In VU 2.39 I found 3 bugs. 1 visual, 2 made me switch to Sense 3.5 eventually, one was fixed (flash in camera on auto settings), one wasn't crashing the phone anymore (calendar events in Exchange mail - 1st recipient changed).

Tweaked, you can't help those who are too lazy to help themselves. Sorry man, sometimes these things are a lost cause.
Allow me to help you help yourself while always helping everyone here at XDA. Search for APKtool and/or APKmanager. No one is going to explain any further how to theme since there are more then enough threads/sites/information out there already. Eventually you'll either learn it or just live with the colors..I would always say turn to GO SMS but I can see you have taken a distaste for doing things the easy way. Well here's the hard way my friend. Enjoy

You first need to decompile the apk. With apktool then inside the drawable hdpi folder is your images. Change them as you want. As far as changing the text , that can get difficult. Some of the RGB values might be In styles xml and colors xml. It's been a long time since I did it but I think some text values get pulled from com.HTC.resources. as well. Just play with it till you figure it out. It's the best way to learn. Once you get it how you want recompile ,sign and push to your phone to check it out.

Ok here is what you do. Get the android SDK, Java, JDE and JRE. Install all of them with admin rights. Then Get Apktool. Decompile the apk, then look through over 500 lines of XML coding and changing the color codes one by one, recompiling after each change and flashing to test until you find the changes you need.
If that confuses you then Use another sms app as advised. Go sms beats the stock hands down.

Hey guys, simply put i am a noob This is my first post on these forums and i need a little help with my HTC Sensation 4G (T-Mobile, Rooted) I have searched for a similar thread but i could not find a really helpful answer. I want to change the home screen transition effects on my Sensation and i could not find how to do this. I do not want something like SPB Shell 3D because that changes the whole 'Sense 3.0' experience. I want some different transition effects on my homescreen because the outside cube effect is really boring.I want something without giving up Sense 3.0. I have already tried Anim Mod but that did not really help.

Oh give over, don't have a go. Some people like sense and its UI, I like it but I can also appreciate that some people don't like it but I dont go round having a go at those who prefer an alternative launcher. It's his opinion so let it be and get over it
EDIT: to answer the question, no unfortunately the cube animation cannot be changed without going to alternate launchers. If you use an alternative launcher AFAIK you won't be able to use sense widgets

There is a ROM for the sensation (I'm not sure which one) that if you are using 4ext touch recovery with the yes/no function you can choose to have the 3d effect removed, just a flat slide like in earlier sense. Hope this helps!

Also i backed up my data, used SuperWipe, and flashed Android Revolution and restarted, my phone gets stuck on the HTC Quietly Brilliant Screen and won't boot. So then i took the memory card out an the battery out, and put it back in to get to recovery mode and i went back to MIUI.
What Should I do?
