Hey guys I know you guys are the best devs anywhere.
With that I would like to propose unto you guys a challenge. If any of you have ever gone from the stock HTC ROM to MIUI you probably noticed how the MIUI clock APP absolutely blows.
Now, I would like it very much if one of you developers could take the below attached HTC clock APP and make it so that it is either:
A) Installable as a standalone APP
OR
B) Able to replace the current MIUI clock APP
I would be appreciative beyond words if someone could do this. I myself have no developing background and could not even conceive doing something like this. Plus, I guarantee I would not be the only person gracious for this adaptation. I also do not know if this is possible or not.
Please and Thank You
PS.
I KNOW ABOUT THE WIDGET!!! THIS WAS POSTED ABOUT THE APP!!!
You know replace this

with this
EDIT: Or maybe just please suggest to me a close replacement? What I would really like in the app is the alarms/stopwatch/timer all in one nice looking app, not something that costs a fortune either would be preffered
OK I closed the last one and you make another? That is HTC closck that will only work on HTC roms.
Also no development for MIUI is done here.
Ze, you know to do brother, we're done here.
I saw that you closed the thread but I had thought that you did not understand the nature of my request. When I read it, it sounded as if you were speaking of the widget which, as I have read the forums, has popped up numerous times.
And yes, I get that the widget can not be replicated and I don't care, I actually like apps like beautiful widgets and HD widgets better than the HTC widget.
It's just that as I was reading through the forums for the Inspire here I found a post in which a developer here turned the HTC keyboard into a downloadable app for MIUI and I figured maybe somebody could do the same for this clock app which I like sooooo much more than MIUI's very basic, very stock android like app.
I really liked the added perks of the HTC app but I like MIUI a million times better than the sense ROM, although there are parts of the sense ROM I would very much enjoy having on MIUI (ie power saver, recent apps in notification bar, clock app, facebook syncing, etc.)
Thank you for trying to tell me the first time and I guess my bullheadedness steered me astray. Sorry if you felt mad that I created another thread after you locked the previous one, but as I said I didn't feel you got the point.
One thing I would like to ponder as a group though.
If these apps are cooked into the framework files, would you not be able to just isolate the files within the framework being used for say the clock app or whatever and put them inside whatever framework of whatever custom ROM you wanted?
Dude, It's cooking into the framework. It's not freaking possible. Done. End of story, Bring it on home Porky Pig, that's all folks, Zel, shut it down. Good riddance.
So what your saying is that I can't grab the framework files that the app needs, put them into the framework of my current ROM, and then have the app work?
Because to me that sounds logically sound

Ok the framework files are built on the HTC drivers. Reason HTC framework will not work on other roms. Not to mention HTC holds strong copyrights to sense. On every port attempt they have issued C&D orders and had it removed. MIUI may have gotten away with it on the CM code due to CM not really caring but HTC will never allow it. HTC uses a custom framework file called com.htc.resources which links right into the drivers and other HTC only files. So simple answer is no. You would have to rewrite the whole OS to make it work not to mention building the drivers from scratch. People wanting Sense on other phones and OSs is nothing new. IT has been brought up for years and the same is now as it was 4 years ago when sense came out. If you want any sense apps you have to run a Sense rom.
Edit: Zel beat me to it.

Where your logic fails is that each rom only uses a max of 2 framework apks, and a few framework jar files. Which I think is where you are getting confused. You have a framework-res.apk and a framework.jar file. As well as a com.HTC.framework.apk and a HTC framework jar file. All of those would need to be ripped apart and reprogrammed to use different drivers and hardware files. Oh and I forgot. The tools needed to decode HTC coding are not available to the public.

Nonetheless I found that very informative and it was something I didn't know. But i'm just trolling the thread
Not to mention the fact that HTC really doesn't like the Dev community. Hence why the Vivid still hasn't achieved permanent root via software exploit like the Inspire, or able to be unlocked and rooted via htcdev.com

Not even close to true. XDA was built off of HTC devices. While yes they are having issues with bootloaders due to carriers. Which don't want the bootloaders unlocked. If HTC ships an unlocked bootloader ATT or T-Mobile or whoever asks for it to be locked. Surprise surprise carriers don't think the average person should have an unlocked bootloader. And to be honest they may be right. What is done here is not for everyone. You can see this by the lazy posts about wanting to skip steps like a full wipe on new rom flash, or they brick their device. Then they want to return it to warrenty, but now they can't due to Modding the device in anyway breaks the warrenty. So returning a phone after you brick it Modding it is fraud.

Ok now that I understand due to the framework differences, is there any apps similar to the HTC one (has alarms/timer/stopwatch all in one app) available that you guys could suggest me?
One thing I don't understand though is that like you said, sense was released 4ish years ago. Within that 4 year timeframe you would have thought that somebody would have cracked HTC's coding by now.
One thing I still don't get though is how was this user able to turn the HTC keyboard into an installable app for anyone who wanted it?

The keyboard is a stand alone apk it is not hard to reproduce. It has no parts in the framework files. People have tried to hack their coding. But when they switched to android they rebuilt all the coding. That is followed by a cease and desist order by HTC if you get to close. Rememeber the one set of Widgets HTC had pulled and just recently the HTC sense 3 style lockscreen. Both pulled by HTC
No I don't remember, what set of widgets?

Oh god I don't remember the exact name any more lol it was like beautiful widget but was more like sense. HTC had it pulled due to copyright infringement
Factory Widgets?

No I will track down the name when I have time. Still have an older apk somewhere I think. But thebpoint is HTC are very struck about the copyrights to sense. Any poet that has even come close has been pulled due to a C&D order which XDA will follow. So if they ask us to we will remove it.

It is in framework,CIQ detector only scans apks
Personally, couldn't care less. It's just for diagnostic purposes and frankly, read my text messages, I'm not hiding a thing. So what if some tech dude who works for CIQ knows that I went to get gas and will be back at the house in 15 minutes? Doesn't bother me, or the vast majority of their users. They're not going to lose anyone.
Well they are test builds so they should have every reason to be using CIQ as this isn't even meant for public use lol
Well, I tried flashing it and my phone won't get past the boot animation.

Lol no offense m8 but are you also that kind who do not care about video cams everywhere, that you need to be registered with your fingerprints to have passport soon to come DNA as well plus the same for driver license?
I mean sure you do not have anything to hide because you do not think you should have a private life where what you do is your own and you can think and say what you want?
I mean come on sure if this is only used for logging in case for diagnostic but it does not mean that even tho HTC uses it for that so does your phone company or your country, as long its there they can access it as well.
No offense but I have something to hide my pirvate life my right to have a life where i'm alone with my own thoughts and being me it seems your not.

Sorry for the rant but I do not stand for stuff like that no matter who does it sadly all companies today does it no matter who you look at.

thanks a lot for this patch.
After applying all apps have been optimized. is that correct?

You assumed a lot about me just because of my view on CIQ. No, I'm not one of those people, its just that I understand carrier IQ is for diagnostic purposes thus I don't care if they have read any messages from me. A text message is a small part of my personal life. You think I'm 100% totally open about my life to everyone? Hell no, but text messages aren't somewhere I keep sensitive information.
There is no guarantee CIQ is/will be used only for carrier diagnostic purposes and since we have no control over it no matter how you look at it, it can't be good because and it can access almost everything on the phone. We bought ourselves a very intelligent tracker/spy device
Big brother is watching you! LOL
You've got nothing to fear, if you got nothing to hide. Simple as that.
As I was working on the current ROM I am trying to get going I got agitated and so for a break I themed it and made this while trying to get the extended toggles and tweaks to work right.
There is no need to do any wipes, as long as you are already on the stock 2.3.4 v21y rooted ROM that I posted. This theme is based off of the Xperia Arc UI and is FAR from complete, but I thought people would like something different with some functionality so here it is.
This will add the basic quickpanel toggles as well as the theme that I have included. All that is included so far is SystemUI, framework-res and some other small adjustments here and there.

Well, the good news is I didn't touch the USB or signal code at all. IIRC, Weapon had some changes to signal code related to how some of the lockscreens needed to access phone state, etc. Which is why I didn't mess with that code with a 10 foot pole!
The USB code looked like when LG first grabbed it, it had support for USB host in place, which they simply disabled. They may have messed some stuff up doing that, and fixed it for the final 2.3.4.
It is promising though that this isn't just a simple recompile of the leaked version, maybe we finally have a stable STOCK ROM for the g2x after all this time.
Awesome theme and toggles.

I resigned the entire ROM (except google apps) when doing Tsugi, so I may have avoided signature problems that way.
As far as Wifi, mine has settled down and is working well, though it has gotten "stuck" on an old wifi once this week. That's a problem I see on my TouchPad as well, so it may have to do with the Apple router at a friend's house which is the network they tend to get stuck on... the device will think it's still connected even when you're miles away, and of course, it isn't actually connected. Have to toggle wifi off and back on.
OH YEAH.....
Are you still using older versions of aapt/apktool/baksmali? Or have you updated to the latest versions? That could be an issue, might try switching versions to older and/or newer.
Love the animation. Sorry about my idea and the pngs if you don't like em. Just a random thought of mine. Sorry though. No hard "peeling" huh

I've always kinda liked the Xperia launcher in various versions because Sony appears to have made FAST and LIGHT key words in their launcher. Too bad it is horizontal scrolling. But I put up with that because the launcher is just very clean.
Stock launcher has always bugged me... they tried to make scrolling "pretty" but instead they made it kinda "boomerang/springy" feeling... like you have to fight if you want to scroll fast.

JustWorksTechnology - Without Him This Rom Wouldn't Have Been Created - Base Rom - Here
I will not be held responsible for any damage done to your device. I only say this so I don't get sewed or accused. Download at you own risk. So far I've been running it for a hour and it's working great!
Change Log:
Mega's_Sense_Preview2:
Chinese New Year Theme
Purple Passion Theme
Mytouch Power Control Widget
Removed Sense 4 Clock.apk And Replaced It For No Glitches Anymore
Enjoy
How's everyone like the new Rom? I don't suggest it at the moment.. Its just a preview and this is just the most stable one out of them all.. Trust me O_O Basically only 1 thing is changed from JustWorksTechnology is the sense 4 clock but I already have many other stuff working on it.. This is just a "preview" for now.. Now I go to bed lol.. Enjoy Oh and yes it 2.1 sense.. Good night!! lol
Whats to be expected in preview 2:
Mytouch 4G Slider Widgets
More Sense Widgets
Sorry for quad posting but an update will be released soon with new widgets.. This isn't really taking the Rom out of preview, it's just giving it a small update. Also there will be more Sense skins.. By far this is one of the best Sense Roms with signal..
Can I port this amazing Rom to the EVO LTE?
And what do you mean by this is the best sense 2.1 Rom with signal? NewSENSE, mikG, S.S. don't have signal anymore?

No see I try a lot of Sense Roms and they always go into roaming so I just tried this one and it has to be the best with staying out of roaming. It will go into it here and there at points but it has to be ONE of the best with that.. Im not saying it is the best.. Thanks and yes you can port it..

I think that signal is more dependent of physical attributes rather than software or ROM. I appreciate your work man. I see your actively contributing the community, and I don't post much but thanks for your work. I usually get ignored after my posts, but I would like to say that in the ROMs Drob mentioned, there is an option in the tweaks to set the phone to Sprint only under roaming. It prevents the phone from going into roam. There's also the option for Roam only. Just thought I would share that since you are having roaming issues. Also latest PRL updates help. Can't wait to try this ROM out when you get a final release. Looking for a new daily ROM.

Thanks for liking my Rom, I've noticed that stock android, when you roam you can still make calls but, on sense you can't and could you send me that method? Thanks!! Also my PRL has been updated, I have no upgrades on towers in my area for next 6 months sadly.. Where I used to live, they have 32 upgrades or something like that. Kinda made me mad but o well I enjoy my evo shift Thanks again!

It doesn't roam because HTC and sprint don't want you to know you are roaming. Adding the1x icon is mod we add to let us know our real signal strength...

It just uses a 1x icon that switches when you drop out of 3G to edge data network like cm7/cm9 roms have. I thought data had nothing to do with cellular reception but IDK. Kind of like how you can activate a phone with no data plan?
Sent from my HTC Evo Shift using xda premium
You did to edit a file in the systemui.apk to show the 1x/3g indicator. You then decompile the classes.dex file and search for something called htccdmastatusbar.smali file. You change a line or two from 3g_cdma to 1x, then recompile and pack it back up and push the apk back to the phone...I guess you could also insert it into a new rom then flash.

BTW what kernels are you using in these roms?
Sent from my HTC Evo Shift using xda premium
I don't know anymore, my head is being poked with a stick by android.. I'm tired of listening to android.. (not freaking on anyone) I've got to take a break for quiet a while because I haven't been hanging with my family a lot lately and that's pathetic and stupid of me.. I'll check in every 2 hours or so but I got to "chill" with this android stuff. I don't wont to loose my loved ones Btw this is based off of JustWorksTechnology's Rom read first lines of my OP.. Thanks and preview2 will be uploaded probably tomorrow It does have a mytouch widget and some more themes
You don't know what kernels are in your sense roms? I understand completely about taking a break, but please take into account that kernels are GPL and must remain open source with a public link on the threads if your using a custom kernel. If your using a stock kernel like cm7 or whatever it may be you don't have to provide anything because they have their own github repo's. Thanks for your work for android and I must also take a break for awhile.
Sent from my HTC Evo Shift using xda premium
Well I guess I need help with "kernels" because I know everything really but not kernels and some other things...
Edit: It's stock
There are plenty of good kernels you can try if the devs let you add them to your roms. Strapped and x99percent are two that I know of that have their kernel sources in order and public.

I knew this summer was going to be a hit for the Doubleshot, but it seems all dev action has ceased since then.
Anyone know what's been going on with our device lately?

Well it still has some issues. The major one is not going to deepsleep. Then the force close from portrait to landscape and back again. I'm racking my brain trying to figure it out though because I've gotten way more Widgets from LG added

I still don't have a development box to start developing so that first before the WIP since I would need to pull the whole CM build and compile it just to make this recovery. I don't think my good old vps is enough to do this kind of job and I'm not also considering to reformat my windows PC just for this.
I think it has been a pretty good summer for development on our MT4GS. We've got a nice crop of ICS roms to choose from, either AOSP or CM or several Sense flavors. It's a smorgasbord! :highfive:

Well Sun_Dream has worked on our phone with a bit of Sense roms if you dig that.
"HTC Doublshot ICS Bliss" sporting Sense 3.6: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1896643
and
"Doubleshot Android 4.0.4 Sense4.1+4A Base Ville_U_ICS_40_S_2.31.401.5": http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1832805
Both seem solid, didn't quite test them out as I'm digging XMC's Jellybean.
Should be a lot of development when Sense 4.5 comes out though I sense ports coming.

Still won't be that helpful to me since we got a crappy internet in our country. Pulling a whole CM build would take me like almost a day of non stop downloading to do that
Unlike on a vps I could just pull both cm7 & cm9 in 30minutes

Ok so where I'm at now. I have figured out I didn't need to use anything from the EVO Shift to get this LG launcher up and running. So its not a port anymore ( so it lost andromaus settings which were cool but caused wakelocks ), its more so a launcher replacement, all other cm9 functions work like they should. So right now I'm trying to figure out how to post it, and here are my posting options I can either
1. Just package all the launcher and widgets as a flash over for any CLEAN INSTALL OF AOSP/AOKP ( will need testers for AOKP ). And a certain set of gapps so the gallery don't get broken
Or
2. I can just pre package everything into a CM build ( gapps and all ) so nothing gets broken. Its your call here is a couple screen shots. And if anyone wants to give it a try just pm me ill get you a dropbox link

I don't know about other people, but personally I'd go with option 2. You will have a lot less bugs to deal with and give yourself more time to focus on improving it and adding features. I don't know what you think about that but that's what I'd go with

Hi all!
I am a new guy to both the world of flashing ROMs and the XDA developers site, in fact I just registered an account here a few moments ago...
From what I have read, this is definitely the go-to place for everyone who has the intention to make their android device truly their own.
I am getting a Nexus 5 in the following weeks... perhaps months, but I am the type of guy who loves to get ready for everything. Nexus 5 is going to be my first smartphone in the android ecosystem, so I came up with a nice list of android apps for my uses already.
Then I came across ROMs and how great it is to take your android experience to the next level. But I am really into the design and UI of the "vanilla" android experience, and Android 4.4 does look very nice to me. But after seeing how you can customize the quick settings with your own tiles, especially the camera, and the fact that you can add shortcuts on the lock screen as well as the quick launch ring on the bottom, I am quite conflicted with what i want.
And I am aware of how there is no best ROM as people have different tastes and needs… which I completely agree. I have settled my choice on cyanogenmod, since it provides an experience that’s close to stock and adds many awesome features on the top of it.
Now here’s my issue… Although I am quite a tech geek comparing with normal average people, I don't have any experience with rooting and jail breaking systems… at all. I am more of a software guy… I don’t know if I should flash my nexus 5 and install cyanogenmod when I get it, or I should just use the stock android 4.4. Will cyanogenmod have its own version of android 4.4? Like cyanogenmod 11.0? And how easy will it be to install it with the coming cyanogenmod installer? Does cyanogenmod include everything the vanilla android has? I know how google apps need to be reinstall separately… but will they all function the same way they do on the stock android?
I am sorry if these questions are too naïve and too basic. I know how youtube has all these wonderful video reviews of cyanogenmod and the cyanogenmod website has its own blogs... But I live in China and all those resources are blocked… so I will be grateful if someone could take the time and describe how the cyanogenmod will work on a nexus 5.
I also apologize if there are grammar and spelling issues in my post… English is my second language so please excuse me for all the vague usage of word choices…
Thank you.
Will write when I'll have time. C u!

Short reply - play with stock for a few days before making any decisions.
Longer answer - Yes, cyanogen and aokp and lots of others will almost certainly have ROMs out soon. They make a significantly smaller difference to a nexus device than on any other device. There's no bloat to remove, no custom skin to change, etc. The ROMs will let you customize android further in appearance and functionality, and sometimes add cool new features. Many of those features can be copied with apps, however. And there's the xposed module, once it gets updated, which allows you to customize stock to a pretty significant degree.
So, use stock for a few days, see what you like/don't like about it, then start loomin looking at the ROMs and see if you want any of their features.

How easy is it to switch back to stock android 4.4 from a ROM? Do I just simply use the full image backup of the entire thing that I made before flashing the ROM?
Saying this as an ex-Sony user-
Yes, there's sth called a nandroid backup which you can access from the recovery menu (once the custom recoveries have been made stable. There is a sticky in the general forum about how to flash it) - doing this creates a backup of the exact state your OS was in at the time of backup. I.e. your apps, messages, sync settings will all be backed up. So if you mess up somewhere you can always restore from the nandroid (provided you can get into recovery).
Alternatively in the development section there's some stock firmware images that returns everything to factory settings. I'm not sure about the procedure since for Sony our files are flashed using a certain program and I haven't looked at the threads but it should be quite simple as well.
Edit: on a side note there's the thanks button on the left side below the post which you can use if someone helped you. Not asking for thanks, but its common practice here (and in most other forums too)

Ah yeah I always wanted to do that... Well I am planning to get Nexus 5 off some third party guy in one of the electronic stores here in Beijing... The only problem is that it will be another few weeks before these "illegal" nexus 5 get here... so I have to wait... But I guess it's worth it since by then there should be tons of articles and tips online about how to make the most out of the device... plus Cyanogen might have a new version ready too... So if time's right, there will be plenty of resources I can work with by the time i get my own nexus 5...
Aren't you bothered by the fact that you can't customize lockscreen shortcuts and quick launches in "vanilla" android 4.4? That's probably my only concern with android 4.4. I could use tasker and customize the rest...

Ah yeah I always wanted to do that... Well I am planning to get Nexus 5 off some third party guy in one of the electronic stores here in Beijing... The only problem is that it will be another few weeks before these "illegal" nexus 5 get here... so I have to wait... But I guess it's worth it since by then there should be tons of articles and tips online about how to make the most out of the device... plus Cyanogen might have a new version ready too... So if time's right, there will be plenty of resources I can work with by the time i get my own nexus 5...
Aren't you bothered by the fact that you can't customize lockscreen shortcuts and quick launches in "vanilla" android 4.4? That's probably my only concern with android 4.4. I could use tasker and customize the rest...
