Sense 4.5 Keyboard on Sense 4.1 ROM? - HTC Sensation

I know it is possible from Venom rom. But that rom is not stable enough for me to use.
I am using Inspiration Rom right now, and all I miss is Sense 4.5 keyboard. Since Venom did it, is it possible to install it to that rom.
Since I have no idea about software development, if someone can help me in that I will be happy. Maybe we can take the keyboard file or something from Venom rom as zip and flash it in our device?

You can't take anything from venom ROM in anything other than for personal use only due to their sharing policy

There's plenty of Sense 4.5 roms around, why go straight for Venom ? lol
I'm sure you'll find the apk somewhere besides inside their roms Also, since it's not just a matter of pushing the apk into system/app, what you need to know is whatelse do you have to do besides pushing HTC_IME.apk. Any libs? Any other file ? Any changes that need to be made?

Honestly, I don't get that sharing policy...
Isn't this an Open Source community?? On an Open Source community everything should be for everyone, and all the sources should be open and public..
People shouldn't be using sources from others, like "Google", "HTC", and so on...and then tell others that don't share theirs, and then again, ask people donations.
That's wrong guys!!!

Open source policy applies to android os itself. HTC sense, that wonderful layer on top of android doesn't quite have the same policy if any. The same applies to fixes, libs and whatever is done on top of it.
As much I would like to agree with you, they have the right to reserve those things.

Is it possible for us to know which appropriate files should we replace with the ViperS to have the sense 4+ keyboard?? Or is it still against their sharing policy??

Thats what I tried to do with my limited knowledge. I did some google search and tried to find the files for the keyboard.
Finally, after I put the apk and changed the files, just keys were working. Long press or numpad was not. I tried to change a few more files but it started to just crash.
So I turned back to normal.

Even that... It's the second or third time that a dev asks donations to buy a new phone, people donate, and then he stop developing for the old phone. How grateful he is?!?

Any news, ideas, solutions?
I installed viper rom again for the keyboard, but this rom is not usable at all.
I will go back to inspiration but all I miss is that keyboard.

[Q] Where to find (and how to flash) a Google Stock (AOSP) ROM with updates?

Hi,
I'm not sure if this is even possible, but I can't seem to find anything solid on it - and I'm new to the device, and very limited 'experience' flashing my old Wildfire.
What I want is a stock (Google stock, not HTC stock) that is capable of receiving OTA updates as soon as Google releases a new iteration of Android. Essentially like a Nexus device.
I'm not bothered about any other hacky features (for the moment, at least). I just want an AOSP ROM that ideally have OTA updates.
Do the TMOUS ROMs do this?
Also, can someone please briefly explain (or link to a guide - I couldn't find one) how to flash said ROM without adb/AndroidSDK?
Thanks in advance,
PS:
Kernel version: 2.6.35.13-3422292
Baseband version: 10.56.9035.00U_10.14.9035.01_M
Hello, no such thing at the moment, sensation Roms are still in their infancy and removing sense brings problems, at the minute the closest you will find is the beast rom which is what I use, other then that just wait for cyanogenmod to be released oh and before people start flaming for this being in the wrong section, just remember this is a new user so be nice

Ah, okay, thanks.
So, in general (and therefore one could assume Sensation AOSP ROMs once ou of infancy) do AOSP ROMs allow OTA updating, like as soon as the Nexus devices get them?
Or do the developers of said ROMs still need to tweak them, and there is no bog-standard Google ROM?
The forums are split up into sections there is one called Q and A post further questions there unless your a developer sharing a mod or Rom you more then likely shouldn't create threads here.

pretty much every dev rom has OTA updating disabled, because an OTA update would do things like disable root.
also the only OTA update a sensation would ever receive is an update with Sense, which would be incompatible with whichever AOSP rom you have.
most devs update their roms pretty quickly after an OTA though. unless it is an entirely new android version, which can take some time.

There is no stock Android ROM from Google for the Sensation - any would have to be ported from another device or created from scratch from source. As such, there will never be OTA updates from Google themselves as the ROM would not have come from them

Okay, I didn't think it was possible anyway - just some posts I read led me to believe it was.
Hopefully an AOSP ROM for Sensation will arrive before long that has OTA updates in some capacity outside of ROM Manager.

You're not quite getting it, the sensation will never get an ota update outside of rom manager, unless you're running a stock, non-rooted sense rom.
The *only* devices that will get an aosp ota of any kind outside of rom manager are the nexus devices. There's no way around that.
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA App
Let's put it this way.
Nexus series gets official updates from Google because Google is the one that's 'selling/branding' the devices. Just take Google in this case as yet another manufacturer which provides OTA for its fleet of devices. Like for HTC, it provides OTA updates for our devices with Sense..

These two seem to contradict, what I'm asking is if the update from ROM dev is OTA through settings or whatever, or if it requires a flash and possibly wipe of dalvik cache?
I'm surprised no one has done an AdamG and compiled an AOSP ROM for the Sensation. He did it for the Desire and it was an AWESOME ROM

First quote: talking about making a rom based on an ota from HTC, I.e. behind Google's current release version.
2nd quote: talking about an aosp rom. And no, there isn't a way for us to do an ota update through the settings menu, only through cwm/rom manager.

Anything is possible, and if it was done for the sensation then there is a high chance it can be done for our device as well, since they are very similar.
Just takes someone to sit down and put time into making it happen.
I realize that you are making a request, but also that you are asking a question - so there's the answer to the question half - now it's just down to someone filling the request or you learning how to do it

We definitely need people to work on themes for this device - I personally am not fond of graphics work, but went ahead and made 3 tutorials on how to work with the majority of the graphics on the device that are stickied in the 'Themes & Apps' section of the doubleshot forums. They are laid out in order of progression.
The only thing someone has to do is figure out how to actually wrap it up into a theme's package that can be installed and recognized by the device. Hopefully there will be interest in this.

I bet it's all the same for most of the ROMs with same sense version and resolution. Best bet is to grab the given ROMs original apks for themes, like Burgundy.apk etc in the given ROM, and start modding that, decompile, change images, compile, sign...the usual stuff.

3.0.42 TAMCORE and sluggish chrome

I've been using opensensation for a while now and I've tried using the latest TAMCORE kernel but whenever I open chrome it becomes molasses. When I switch down to version .38 the slow down goes away. Does anyone one else experience this? Just trying to see if it is something on my end.

I have had nothing but problems with Tamcore on AOKP with my configuration, I think its more of a problem on my end than it is on his kernel. But I switched to CM9 and am running the stock kernel with no problems. My dad on the other hand can run AOKP with Tamcore fine, I don't know what the difference is. I've never tried open sensation so I can't vouch for that. What gov. are you using?
Ohh and BTW, if a mod doesn't get this thread moved soon, your going to get a new one ripped by all the 12 year old 'devs' who will yell at you because this is the Dev section, if they were a real dev they'd politley tell you "wrong section, try to post in the Q&A forum first, but heres the problem.." After doing so, they'll most likely refer you to their donate button in their signature in case one of their 13 posts have helped you or someone else.

I don't think my particular problems are with your kernel but I think they are from my configuration. Like I said, my dad runs your kernel just fine but whatever I must do with system kill must cause problems with your kernel. I should have been more specific before I said "I have nothing but problems with TamCore" because at one point TamCore was the only kernel I ran because it was so smooth and had no issues whatsoever, its definitely more of a problem on my end, not yours.
Maybe. But the OP is just asking. He could get more help if he would tell us a bit about his settings.

[DEV-ONLY] Android L Port

Hi guys,
First I must begin by saying that I am not a developer. However, using this: (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1908008) thread, I have managed to "port" Android L to the One, though I have no clue if it even boots. There are a few problems that need to be discussed:
1) AOSP ROMs are around 400 mb? This one is 900+ mb.
2) When I was zipping the ROM, I saw Prism.apk was also in it, and a heck lot of other HTC related things.
3) Will the current kernel for KitKat work smoothly on L?
Anyway, this is my first step to being a potential developer and hope you all get excited for this. I do have one request though, if I can get a few devs to work with me on this, we can get to new heights on our One.
You can download the zip I created here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B4JA1Kc3xlxiZUw2XzNzM1NKMVU/edit?usp=sharing

Can you attach the Build.prop file?

Sure: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B4JA1Kc3xlxiWHJOV1JnS3FCRzg/edit?usp=sharing
But as far as I remember, I did not do anything to it. The base ROM that I used was a stock deodexed Sense 6 ROM and the port ROM I used was the system dump from Android L, if that helps.

Okay fine, all I'm saying is there's already a thread on this in the general section so its almost pointless to post something else if it hasn't even been tested or is just like the other. There's already work being done on this...

Im not a dev just a general user but I don't think we should be creating these types of threads if you don't know what you're doing. Let the real devs do their work if it was as easy as following a copy/pasting port guide every device would already have a l build. Just be patient and eventually a nice dev will maybe make some magic happen for us.

This ROM will not work, period. The reason is because you did not follow step 1 of the guide which states quite clearly:
"Take any clean CM9, AOSP, CM7, CM10, CM11 ROM which is running on your device as Base ROM."
Now, don't know about you but I do not think a stock deodexed Sense 6 ROM counts as any of those mentioned in step 1... that is why you are seeing HTC things in the ROM.

It will not work just by using that guide; The bases are just too different.

no man, you can not do this because we have not a base for L! so it should be ported compiling source and fixing bug and issues...is not a thing that you find in a guide

I think your best bet would be to download the Nexus 5 sources and then do some "patchwork" with HTC One libs and whatnot, when needed. The good thing is that they are both at the same resolution and have similar specs.
And after you're done with that, you should be able to build with a couple of adjustments to various build-related things.
EDIT: Also, there will probably be issues with kernels? so you'll have to work through that also.

You can't be patching and copy/pasting libs. No zip modding when it comes to porting big base changes
You'll need to decompile and redo your ramdisk etc. And like jonny said you can't be using sense and gpe parts

Android L Keyboard in Play Store
I just wanted to note that there's a third-party application "Android L Keyboard" by Shen Le in the Play Store which I've been using on the latest CM11 nightlies that works great.
I understand that's not the point of this project but I just wanted to make sure other users are aware. Also, it's kind of scary to have to trust that a keyboard from the Play Store isn't logging and reporting your keystrokes but that's another issue entirely... anyways I added a screenshot, good luck with the project!
:good:
Thread has been closed at OP's request,
