LoL mike uploaded flashable .zip as well,didn't see that,Sorry mike

have u tested with miui

I think ill wait for the flashable zip hehehe very nice work thanks

Wating also here for the flashable zip

It's hard to provide flashable .zip since you guys need to edit your build.prop. I can make flashable .zip but specyfied for my ROMs.

Cdtdroid If possible would u like the build prop ????

change ownership of the file to root user and root group.
0 == root

I saw this in the HD2 forums as well, however it was generally concluded that there were additional changes in the xperia framework files missing in none Sony builds, leaving this method having no effect. Everyone to their own though I guess if you think it makes a difference as is.

Same problem! Can't compare with only one phone. So I decided to borrow my friend's Sensation and see if there is any improvement

[Discontinued][APP][MOD][CM9]Phonemod for cm9 PICO v2.1

Link to website here.
Note: This might work for other devices. Test at your own risk.
Does not work on evervolv. Certain bugs are experienced.
Let me begin by saying how popular the HTC Explorer (codename Pico) is. Almost anyone who wants a budget smartphone has one. Its simply the best phone out there in the price range. Even the hardware specs aren't that bad. It is very much capable of running Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich, although unofficially an unofficially ported version of Cyanogenmod 9.1.
Cyanogenmod 9.1 on an mdpi device such as the Explorer poses some problems/bugs caused due to scaling down of the graphics. One such problem is the caller id screen where by default, it is displayed as shown below in the attachments.
As you can see the caller picture is cut off by half and looks really ugly. I have developed a fix for this and now the caller id will display the full contact picture as shown in the picture.
v2.1 changelog (see attached image)
Added Enable status bar option during calls (Useful to check messages or other notifications during call).
Added Disable lights out option (Does not turn off light when near proximity sensor).
Added Exit to home on end call option (Disable going to call log after every call).
Download:
v1 Mediafire link.
v2.1 Mediafire link.
Installation instructions:
Download the zip file above.
Copy it to a folder on your SD card.
Reboot into recovery.
Toggle signature verification off if necessary.
Choose the option install zip from recovery.
Browse to the zip you downloaded and select install.
Reboot.
Manual installation:
Using a root file explorer delete Phone.apk in /system/app directory
Extract contents of the zip file you downloaded and find the Phone.apk file (modded).
Paste in /system/app
Set permissions as -rw -r -r
Reboot.
Development discontinued. But mod still works.

Will this work on Evervolv ICS ROM for the explorer?

I am on cm9 with ungaze script. My system part ion is showing only 40kb as free. I tried through recovery, which ended with no signal.
Unable to paste modded Apk due to low memory. Any other way to get this

You should delete the existing phone. Apk which will free some space then paste the new.

Well, you can try the following.
1. Try flashing the v2.1 zip. Updated in first post.
or
2. Make sure there is no unwanted apps in system other than cm9 ones. then try both flash and manual. In manual, once deleted the Phone.apk, restart and then paste the new phone.apk
or
3. Make the latest lirakoa install in this order. wipe everything (factory reset), go to mounts and storage and format /boot and /system, install lirakoa zip, install gapps, install google now (i usually use it but its ur choice), install v2.1 Phonemod, restart. Then you can install ungaze or int2ext (I prefer s2e as its safe) and then restore form titanium backup all your user apps.

Just flashed and it works great! However, I get a FC on selecting "Dialpad Settings", otherwise its perfect. Im running Evervolv ICS ROM.

I'm glad you liked it and happy to hear it works on your device. However, I am sorry cuz that isn't possible. That screen cannot be made transparent as far as I know.. The customizable screens are dialpad only.

[Q] [Bootanimation] android_audio.mp3 problem

Hi,
I actually using Android Revolution HD 6.8.0 on my Sensation.
i tried to replace the official htc bootanimation by the portal 2 bootanimation and audio.
there is no problem about the bootanimation but it's all about the sound, it's dosen't starting.
i tried to extract; place zip file; rename zip file to .mp3; place in system/customize/resource; place in system/media.
the name of the file is "android_audio.mp3" i don't think i made any errors maybe have another way to make this sound start?
thanks for replying and help

Have you tried placing hTc_boot.mp3 in /system/customize/resource? Is there any existing files in that folder?

there is no file in this folder, i tried to place "android_audio.mp3" or to rename at "htc_boot.mp3" it will take no effect.
Edit : Trying to place htc_boot.mp3 in /data/local but it's dosen't works too

try /data/local
For some illogical reason the chef of that ROM puts it in there (actually, its not illogical, its because he uses dsixda kitchen) and filename should be android_audio.mp3 and bootanimation.zip

[Q] Beats Audio.........

Well I think it's ok to create new topic. I searched around but couldn't.
Actually I wanted to add beats audio to the ROM.zip(jaggyROM 3.2.1) before flashing. I downloaded the beats audio zips from
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1525226
I simply extracted the data from the zips to ROM in their appropriate directories. Eg libs in libs, apps in apps etc in etc.
(No harm to the zip. Just drag and drop)
Well I went to recovery, flashed zip, fixed permissions.
It boots now but music.apk force closes.
Please help where am I wrong?
Please let me how can I add beats audio to jaggy 3.2.1?
Well I don't want to flash it separately.
(I know jaggy 4.1 has beats audio but I want to add it to 3.2.1)

I flashed that (selected "stock" in aroma) and music.apk force closes.
By the way I was asking about adding beats before flashing the ROM. I think it needs some build.prop, script updater work.
Will someone give me some guidelines?

R: [Q] Beats Audio.........
It's different to exract it and put on folders than flash zip directly.
Because there are some scripts that are launched by busybox and need permission on updater-script file

Yes exactly I was thinking so. Flashing sometimes edits the build.prop and set permissions as well. I copied the needed commands from the beats zip and added to the Rom script updater using es explorer but I think it made it unusable.
Now I got it simply using beats audio from play. Thanks to danceoff.

How to install beats audio on your phone
How to install beats audio on your phone:
1. Your phone must be rooted.
2. Go to the play store or google play or android market or whatever you call it.
3. Type in the search field ' beats audio'.
4. There will be an app called 'beats audio installer' which will be needing the permission of root to run.
