I do not see that option at all.

I'm assuming we'll need stock rom to use it??

I wasn't using a stock rom when I was offered it. I doubt it though

I was talking to customer care on the phone when. They offered it to me. Might not be available as an add on service thru the website yet

I have it on my family plan, I don't use it though it was primarily for my mother. It doesn't come up on mine. Get calls quite a bit from individuals I either don't know or aren't saved in my phone. So I think the assumption that having rooted it may not work.

Help to get Name ID to Work on MT4G
I have a theory that if we were to install the phone.apk fromthe Doubleshot (MT4G Slide) this option would work. I think the option is enabled to accept this information from within the application
I have updated my account by changing phones to the MT4G Slide purchasing the option and then changing my phone model back to the MT4G.
This Name caller ID does not work yet but I am looking for help in updating the Phone.APK for the VU ROM.
Any ideas where to find the latest Doubleshot "Phone.apk" .... Please do not not say SEARCH. LOL I have and cannot find it or cannot be sure this is the latest Phone.APK for doubleshot.
I downloaded the ROM for the MT4G Slide but am unsure how to extract the Phone.APK from the Update.zip
OK - UPDATE
Finally extracted and pushed Phone.APK form Doubleshot ROM.
No phone signal at all so I reverted to original VU Phone.APK
Any thought on how to get Doubleshot Phone.APK into MT4G?
Thank you in advance for your help.

HTC Sense Expresso -Sucks??

Well im planning on getting the phone as soon as it drops this Wednesday, however i couldnt help to notice how the phone is build with a HTC Sense Expresso 3.0 build, which honestly sucks. coming to think about it...
-no customization of lock screen
-no 4 icon shortcut at lock screen
-boring black and white customization screen
-only 5 home screens
-no HTC Hub with extra themes download capabilities...
those are the big things i kinda noticed with this HTC Sense build. even though its 3.0 and what not, it doesnt offer that much customization as the HTC Sensation 4G..
it should have the regular HTC Sense 3.0 stock built, no skinned 3.0..
anyone think the same way? share your thoughts

Just give it like a week and all will be available!

If I hate it ill keep using my favorite home replacement, go launcher ex.

Who had the bright idea to make it impossible to remove contact suggestions in sense without root.
Also T-Mobile contact sync ignores you when you click the checkbox off to not sync so T-Mobile is basically stealing all your contact information without asking you.
I feel like I have a rocket engine in my pocket running a pretty ****ty stock build.

thanks to everyone who has replied to the thread, greatly appreciate it,
anyways
-they call the expresso build phones "stalkers" down where i live because wheather yu ask it to or not, it will sync facebook contacts and all their info into yur phone..
-and UNCLESPOON are yu implying that they will like release an update of some sort?

I think he's talking about S-OFF.

Yeah I'm just referring to the fact that the devs here on XDA are awesome and with S-OFF coming we'll be able to overclock and run a fuller version of Sense 3.0 and I'm not worried about it at all!

oh yes! the guys down here at XDA are truly incredible when it comes to all that good stuff and yeah ima wait for them to come out with something like that, i wish i could help somehow though....
either way, thanks guys!
-has anyone with the MT4G Slide have any reasons to why keep the HTC Expresso Ui build?

oh guys i have read and seen that devices that are retail (which i guess means bought at the store and what not) are all S-ON
theres no S-OFF for retail devices, i think HTC lied -_-
so without that...theres no custom ROMS? (

Someone will S-OFF this bad boy like they did with the G2, give it a week.
We'll either have a way to flash it with the S-off bootloader or we'll have a ENG S-OFF bootloader, or something like g-free

And HTC will unlock the bootloader with an update in August or September anyway.. probably around the same time as the Sensation.

[Q] Virtuous Inquisition v3.0.0

Hi guys,
You guys might think im a newbie because i got zero posts. ( We'll actually i got 1 post after this one. =D)
I've been using roms a couple of years. I've never been posting or requesting on XDA. So this will be my first time. My first android phone was a HTC HERO G2 Touch. At that point i was researching and trying out roms. I was totally inlove with Android. I've been a Iphone user. HTC Hero came with the stock version 2.1.
But then i found Cyanogenmod they've managed to get Gingerbread 2.3 on the Hero. I came more in love with Android. After using the HTC Hero G2 a year or so it became boring the phone is getting slower and i saw a couple of friends have a faster Android phone. Then the HTC ChaCha came out. I thought im gonna change a bit from touch to a keyboard + touch. The bad thing about it. It wasn't S-off but S-on so i couldn't unlock the bootloader. I've been using the HTC ChaCha a couple of months but like the HTC Hero it became boring. I couldnt change roms because it wasn't S-offed. I was waiting on HTCdev to release the unlocked bootloader. But then a friend of mine he asked me if i wanna buy his HTC Sensation for 200euro's. He used it for like four months. He wanted a Iphone 4S. So i thought it's sounds pretty attractive. So i bought it a month ago. I allready put a custom rom a while back while he used it. (the Android Revolution HD 3.6.1 when it came out). When i got the phone i updated it to the latest version back then. Off course i've tried the ICS rom of ARHD. I was blown away by the looks of it. Then i came across Virtuous Inquisition. I wanted a FULLY ICS. Im now running the latest version v3.0.0. Its freaking smooth no force to close. Almost everything worked how i wanted it.
I got 1 issue about it. Skype. The one i called he sees me in green. I dont know if its about the rom or Skype.
Also i discovered something while i was playing around on the homescreen.
When you swipe with two fingers to the right you get a small pop up "Got rotate! false" and when you swipe with two fingers to the left it says "Got rotate! true". I thought it was a shortcut to change the settings of rotation of the screen but it wasn't. So i was wondering what it does. I've searched on the forums and i didn't found anything about it.
Can't wait till a FULLY WORKING ICS ROM without any problems.

I too have rooted my Sensation and installed the following:
Virtuous Inquisition 3.0.
SebastianFM 1.5Ghz Kernel
The Sensation now actually lives up to its name! This thing really flies! I am elated to get rid of the Sense UI and really love the Nova launcher. Despite the increase in clock speed the battery life is actually quite good.
I have tried to replicate your two finger swipe anomaly but cannot. That being, said, perhaps it is related to live wallpaper? I use the Beautiful Widget live weather wallpaper and it is somewhat interactive in that you can move the clouds and sun around. So, if you have a live wallpaper installed, maybe it too is interactive and reporting back these messages? Just a guess....
I am hopeful that a fix for the incoming call not showing up on the lock screen will be fixed soon as this is annoying. Another minor issue I and others are experiencing is the contact ringtone assignment not taking affect.
Overall this ROM breathes new life into the sensation!
Dennis

I tried replicating the error on my Sensation 4G running Virtuous Inquisition v3.0.0 was unsuccessful.
Try flashing it again.

I too have the 3.0.0 Virtuous Inquisition.
How stable is flashing the 1.5GHz kernel?
I remember it was quite unstable when I was on ARHD, has changes been made?

Personally the 1.5ghz kernel gave me a bunch of odd issues on this ROM. did a full wipe, standard 3.24 kernel linked on the ROM's page, and installed the newest version, zero issues. Reluctant to try the 1.5ghz again, not worth it imho. Maybe that's just my experience though.

Screenshots please? As for appearing green on Skype, this is the first time I've heard of such an issue.

Yeah you might be right. i got a live wallpaper the stock one when you install virtuos. I will try it out tonight without Live wallpaper.

Thread cleaned. Some of those posts were very disappointing.
if you have nothing useful or helpful to say, don't bother posting.
I'm happy to hand out bans to trolls...

Hey I was able to replicate the "got rotate! True" and "got rotate! false" ...but that was "as far as I got! True"
To do it put two fingers on the screen like they're at 12 and 6 on a clock, then swipe clockwise/counterclockwise.

I have none of the issues mentioned... Having tried ARHD GB and ICS basedroms...I have to say I'm completely blown away by the quality/stability and performance of this rom.
I have a question to the VI users that flashed their roms with 1.5ghz...has stability and battery life suffered at all?
Thanks

[Q] FULL sense 3.0

Is there a way that the mt4gs can get any of the sense 3.0 lockscreens without root or roms. And is there any way that the device can get different themes i do know that its technically impossible to get it from the market or from the htchub/htcsense website. Ive also email htc about the ics update and sense 3.6 for the device. Ive done it twice and i will upload both replies.

Here's one of the messages they sent to me..........

Try Go locker, and Go launcher. Go locker has all kinds of lockscreens, and Go Launcher has all kinds of themes.

We are not getting ICS officially ever. I contacted my "connection" at htc and he said the HTC Doubleshot will not get updated due to "Tmobiles Add on Skin" meaning expresso. We are the red headed step children. Stop asking htc when we are getting an update cause we are not. We will be lucky to see 2.3.5 officially.

Team Freedom never got the rom working.
You need to have ADB (Android Debugging Bridge) Setup.
Then goto the "Unlocker.Com". They have guides for our phone, alongside a video to help.
There's no Sense 3.0 Roms that are worth flashing on XDA. Over on Rootzwiki there's a Sense 3.0 Rom called "Rubix Sensation".
We have an ICS 3.6 Rom. Great since we have WVGA 3.6 parts now.

Someone's cousin/friend/uncle etc. has been telling someone crap for decades. 99% of the time it is bullsh*t. People claimed the original MyTouch would never be updated, yet HTC updated the whole lineup, even the old, ancient original one, up to Froyo.
I'm not counting out an official ICS update for the DoubleShot just yet. It might be late, but I think we will get one.

How do i get the trace input to work on this device id perfer it rather than the swype kb.

I'm not sure how well my translator works, but it might be accurate enough.
So, bjballar41, uhh in regard to Sense and to the Market/Play question, is your Girlfriends phone rooted?

If the phone is not rooted, she might want to check for software/firmware updates. Sounds like she is still running froyo, android 2.2.

Uh, ROM version aside, there's a d/l for the play store.apk. Google it. I did that way back, b/c I was still on market 2.5 (I think)

But is the play store an improvement? I recently went back to a nandroid of the ROM I found most stable. I have the old market back and am loving it compared to the more recent veal they have foisted upon the unsuspecting masses. Yes, it may be a good idea to have the apk, but I won't install it unless my market stops working. My 2 cents.
Edit: Veal? Really? I typed "crap". Lol, autocorrect.

As it is stock ATT never updated the Inspire to anything past 2.3 with the older sense. It didn't even get the Sense 3.0 update HTC pushed out. This is the reason foe not having the lock screen. Unless you root it and flash a custom from it won't happen. The market maybe OS version dependet

I don't know about better. It looks like the 3.x series of Market. I will say that the 2.x Market I had had started having random times where it wouldn't connect.
