Guys, can someone help me? I tried all the ROMs that currently exist for our device (Codename Android, JellyTime, AOKP, ParanoidAndroid, CM10), and with every one of them I'm having one major bug - I cannot change the screen brightness.
I tried whatever I could - reflashing, changing it from the Settings app, changing from the Notification Centre, and even rebooting - nothing helps.
I really don't have an idea what could go wrong and what could be the reason, and I'm sure that it's not the fault of any of the apps installed (I got nothing connected to system settings, so no interference there, 190%)
Maybe you can help me?
Device info is:
Hboot 6.98.xxxx
Latest radio (20.76)
S-off with Revolutionary
Am I the only one with this problem?
It seems that way. I have no problems.

There are applications from the play market that should enable you to change brightness, have you tried any of these?

How much more helpful could I be....?.search for brightness in the market was that really that difficult?

yeah, u should try ..its not really difficult.
Look in one of the threads were you have talked about your brightness problem. Finny may have pin down the problem.

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.

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.
Sent from my HTC Sensation
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

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.

I want to install this on my wife's phone, but she has no appreciation for the great work being done here. I would rather not put something on her phone that is going to cause me grief.
Also, is the user interface the same?

to be honest, its a great rom. for people that know how to deal with beta roms. if your lookin for a grief free rom, id use another one. i use this but i dont mind the small issues and can deal with them. the user interface is ICS, so the same as ICS yeah? same and gingerbread.. no, lil different. more user friendly i think.

Does anyone know if you can unlink the notification volume and ringer volume in ICS?
Sent from my myTouch_4G_Slide using Tapatalk
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.

Any ideas?

Try opera mobile - proper flash support is one of their selling points. Unsure if it'll help, but worth a shot - mobile, not mini.

If i enter full screen browser hangs. if i zoom in, it will play, but it's very choppy with elements of my wallpaper mixed in, sometimes it's the notifications bar that draws itself into the flash. It's very odd.

Go to Settings > Apps > All. Force Close YouTube and clear data & check if that helps.
If not, try changing the ROM that you are currently on.

I had the issue with Virtious inquisition v. 4.0.2 as well, however now the issue is gone on my current Rom, beats by Grogg. I have not noticed it anyore. No longer a problem. You say you have tried Every Rom and the issue is present in all of them? It's possibly your device then because after switching roms it fixed the problem on my device. I hope you can find a fix.

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!
