I am not much into development stuff but if we work together, we can find a fix for black Call screen with incoming call which is very annoying..
Please don't suggest alternate applications...
Don't expect it will be fixed in official HTC ICS release as it's not their job..
So far what i understand is that when we receive a Call, HTC dialer/phone sends command to HTC lockscreen to Awake and show that Answer/Reject on lock screen...Since we removed HTC lockscreen, that signal goes nowhere ...
I looked into framework-res.apk file.. It has png images of Answer/Reject call for ICS lock screen. HTC has not removed those...This can mean that all elements for answering call on ICS lockscreen exists already but are not signaled to work or disabled...
I will be looking into Phone.apk and HTCDialer.apk to see which file is involved in this command so that we direct it to AOSP lock screen instead of HTC lock screen..
If anyone is good at Development may please help if they can...

EDIT: i sold HTC Sensation long ago...
I talked to romanbb about this (he fixed this back in the 2.3.4 roms) and he said he did some heavy smli hacking in the phone.apk and that he doesn't remember what all he did to fix it.
I hope this too helps someone fix it.

Glad someone responded...
Infact i know romanbb, RCMix team and virtuous unity team are genuine modders and truly recognized developers...
I will pm him if he can help here...
Smali edits are basically too complicated... i hope he remembers it again... We actually need smali editors..
Is it not a matter of just completely restoring the original Android dialer? Or are you wanting to keep the HTC dialer, but not the lock screen? I don't care much for Sense at all, but I'm not finding any "non-Sense" ROMs that restore most of the original dialer that can send the caller-ID outside of the original lock screen, either.
There is also the fact that the Apk Manager has some trouble extracting from the 4.0.3...
I got a bit inspired after reading this last night and downloaded APK Tool. Only to realise that I am way out of my depth unfortunately
same problem i think!!!
Hi
Having this strange and annoying problem too ,when I receive a call the screen stays black so I can't see who's calling, if I swipe up on the screen I can answer. Any ideas? I've tried battery pull and a factory reset but no different.
is there any one who knows the answer?

Because they are AOSP or senseless roms without the htc phone apk.
E.g the bug is present in sense roms that use the AOSP lockscreen option in tweaks

The two I mentioned are AOSP / AOKP. The thread is about AOSP ROMs. The dude didn't specify what ROM he is talking about. I gave him options.
Sorry the info in my last post was incorrect. Eye Candy is AOKP but Virtuous Inquisition is Sense-less. Either was, incoming call on lock screen works on both.
The sad part is that while both are great ROMs which I have used for extended periods, both have been abandoned by their devs

Hello,
I was wondering if there is any way to disable the 3D Cube Rotation in HTC Sense. Whenever I unlock my phone, I have to wait a couple of seconds to see the desktops rotate... very beutiful, but useless...
Nope.
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA App
What ROM are you using? It might be a kernel issue
Revolution HD at the moment, but I wouldnt mind using other rom if it fixes it (I need sense though)... lets wait, I cant be the only one bothered by this feature...
Thanks for your replies
I think you're the only one GETTING the feature...if it was an issue a lot more people would have mentioned it. Although saying that, I had your issue when using the Smartass governor
Sorry EddyOS, I did not explain myself correctly.
I dislike the HTC Sense 3.0 feature that makes the desktops rotate in a 3D cube when unlocking the phone before finally displaying the home screen.
It is not a bug or problem, I just dont like it and would like to disable it if possible.
Ah, the animation itself? No, that can't be turned off. You'd need to use a different launcher
oh I see... Thank you!

Browsing the net for some splash screens/wallpapers and so on, I've accidentally found some nice lockscreens made by nick1313. I was wondering if there are also available for our Desire S (originally they're made for Evo 4G)

Actually bud I can't take credit for those, Mando41 actually made them, I think. Here's a tutorial for it that I've found but haven't ever used.
EDIT: Just saw you said lockscreen. Did you mean lock ring? The lock screen is just an HTC lock screen right?
Don't know exactly what the posibilities are, that's why I said "lockscreen" (in the print screens there was the lockscreen). What I'd like to have is that digital round watch as a widget on my screen or, if that's not possible to have a lockscreen as you have in the prints.
It just crossed my mind now that the digital watch is on the desktop and the lockscreen has transparent background so it's seen through it.
I'll check the link you've provided and see if I can do something that works on CM ROM not MIUI

Hi, really do like that unlock ring mod I believe its an apk sense skin, correct me if I'm wrong cos most lockrings are modded thru skins.
Would you be kind to direct me to the thread that I can find this mod please.
Cheers.
Sent from my HTC Desire S using xda premium
MasterDL from what I've read and understood, that is the standard sense lockring lockscreen with a moded lockring. Nick has already provided a link to a tutorial for making those custom lockrings (check his post). For this to work though, you should have a ring lockscreen integrated in the rom (Sense based or MIUI as far as I saw). Unfortunately there's no such lockscreen in CM (the "ring" lockscreen in CM looks different)
^ Yeah I know, I am asking for it Cos I am a sense 3.5 user and like to know where this thread is so I can make one myself.
I'm talking about that ring in your first post.

HERE is the tutorial nick has pointed to, for the rest you can check the links in his signature. There are some screens and mods on that site too.
You can also search XDA for "lockring lockscreen" and you'll find plenty of threads that also have sample lockrings for you to use if you like to build your own
I've made PyroIce my new Daily, and we all know it has some bugs. So I thought I'd start a thread to help Unclutter the fourm.
Here's the first thing I've found out.
- Wi-Fi Networks that are WEP/PSK locked can be connected to without having to Manualy put the name in.
Nova Launcher is a Great ICS Replacement Launcher. It can be downloaded from the Market. Or found on XDA as a flashable Zip. That makes it a system app, and allows widgets to be accessed from the launcher.
It has homescreen effects, drawer effects. Custom Grid Sizes, and all widgets are resizeable. Its the ADW of ICS, and is better than CM9's Launcher for 4.0.1.

first off, i think this rom is simply great, considering that ics is on very few devices right now, and that our phone is a bit slow in general with development (nothing against all the devs on this phone, cuz what they have made are all really good)
two questions:
does anyone know why the camcorder app is limited to 720p recording? it's definitely not a big issue, but this camera is considered to be one of the best, seems like a shame to waste it.
also, any way to fix the htc dialer showing up in the call and to answer a call you have to unlock first?
how's everyone's battery life doing? mine's much better than when i had cm7 on it
I was looking at 1080p but for some strange reason libstagefright camerasource detects that 1080p is not available. Coudlnt binary hack that, and no idea why that happens.
You can use fullscreen caller id to let you receive calls without unlocking, or can use widgetlocker from market with security set off.

NEW VERSION IN TEST PHASE - COMING SOON
UTB-ROM for the HTC One S gives you a clean, no fuzz, CM9/AOSP based ROM.
Version 2.0 marks the start of the future. As we anxiously await the kernel drivers from HTC, talented developers are making good progress on getting AOSP running smoothly. While there are still some issues floating about, its time to start building the base for the new ROM.
Description
You have two options. v1.0.6 gives you an AOSP-like experience but with the comfort of the original stock HTC ROM as base. Most things work as expected. However, if you enjoy living on the bleeding edge, version 2.0 gives you an CM9 based ROM which will get some bleeding edge extras along the way. Version 2.0 is still very early in development and is currently pretty identical to a stock CM9 ROM, but I wanted to give a taste of what is coming.
Highlighted Features v2.0
CM9-base
Google Play Music
OLED-Optimized ICS Boot animation (true black levels)
Latest Google apps included for your convenience
Note that this is just an introductory release. It is plagued by the same bugs as the other AOSP/CM9 based ROM's are. But we are making good progress and soon we will get all bugs figured out, Im certain!
Highlighted Features v1.0.6
Stock Android apps (Trebuchet launcher, Android Messaging app, Android Contacts, etc, compiled from source)
Stock Android ICS notification bar
Most of the included HTC apps are long gone
Based on the new 1.64.997.1 kernel
Zipaligned
Just feels good!
Changelog
v1.0.6
Picasaweb added (syncing works, uploading is still an issue.. maybe because of this)
ICS Live Wallpapers
Updated Gallery app (Now shows your online photos)
1.0.5
Removed CruiserPwrExpert - A ridiculous logging tool from HTC that does nothing but drain your battery.
Removed the HTC Gallery
Removed HTC Music
Added AOSP Email and Exchange
Added Google Play Music
Added AOSP Gallery
Known Issues v1.0.6
Unlock required before answering call (Hard to fix as its a compatibility issue with Sense)
The HTC Camera is for some reason not willing to open the ICS Gallery for previews.
NOTE: If you are coming from a different base ROM than the one you are flashing, a full data wipe is encouraged and recommended.
DOWNLOADS
v2.0 RC1
v1.0.6
Be honest your ideas a good one.sense stripped away..add some tweaks change some GUI for image sake..I'm already running a stripped down rom..novas running.only thing that looks different are the menus.

Yeah, I left the stock HTC camera app and gallery app. The reason for this is the unique features of the ImageSense chip which I didnt quite get to work with the stock camera app.
HTC's settings are also still in as well as the HTC Music app, but I might be removing that in the next version. Unfortunately, until we get AOSP running on the One S, it will be difficult to escape HTC's customized stuff completely. But I am trying to get as close as I can without breaking anything.
In terms of bugs, I am still trying to resolve answering calls without having to unlock the screen. Apart from that, I havent found any other serious issues yet.
Feedback is most welcome though. Ive just made a ROM to satisfy my desires and needs

Thanks for the feedback. Good to know the foundation is stable and solid.
Is there an easy way to change the behaviour of the app switch button in here? I'd find it more useful to switch between apps than as a menu button.
Hmm haven't thought about it. Just made more sense to have a menu button. If you long-click the home button you get the app switcher though

Problem is that when you don't assign menu to one of the buttons you get the onscreen menu button back...

The on-screen button doesn't really bother me. At least it tips you off that there are hidden settings in some apps. Over time there should be less need for a menu button anyway. Guess it's just a preference of mine, but very awesome ROM otherwise!
Shame there's no live wallpapers though.

Is everyone experiencing better battery life with this ROM? Also, what is the issue exactly with screen unlock? When you update the ROM, will we have to wipe? Do you know how long before answering calls bug is resolved? I happen to enjoy this version of Sense versus the older ones but I'm all for trying a "lighter" version of the OS.

To be honest, I didnt really use my device much before I flashed it, so its hard to answer the question of battery life with any certain degree of accuracy. But battery life is great for me and Im sure the new kernel doesnt do it harm either.
The screen unlock issue isnt really an issue, but more a HTC - Android AOSP incompatibility problem. When an incoming call occurs while the phone is locked, you have to unlock the screen first before being able to click the answer-button.
Hello..
very great rom.. i'd like to know if there is a battery mod for this rom!
Thanks

Thought I'd share a little trick I found in the HTC Rezound forum... turns out you can easily peel off the Sense-style lock screen and leave your One X with clean-looking stock ICS lock. You simply need to rename /system/app/HtcLockScreen.apk to something else, reboot, and voila, Sense doesn't skin it. I renamed it using adb shell.
It doesn't work perfectly however... I've already found a couple bugs where incoming calls don't show up on the screen (only in the status bar), and if you use something like Google Music that is supposed to add controls to the lock screen, only a black background is shown. I'm sure these functions are supposed to be handled by the Sense Lock UI which is no longer there. Maybe somebody smarter than me can figure out how to fix, or maybe this is just a useless crippled hack.

I doubt it, most of HTC's other apps are complete replacements of stock, whereas the Sense lockscreen is really just a skin sitting on top of ICS.
So it makes sense why incoming calls, texts, etc. using HTC's stock apps don't show up on the ICS lockscreen (they want to be handled by HTC's skin)....but I'm not sure why Google Music won't show controls since it isn't an HTC app. Curious!
Nice tip! Thanks for the info!
