pix folders on SD :(

This is the first time I've tried doing this, so don't know if other versions of Sense did this...

I have (had) several sub-folders located in the DCIM folder, on my sdcard, which I wanted to show up as separate "albums" when viewing using HTC Gallery. I renamed each sub-folder, prefixed each with "pix_", and put them in the root of my sdcard. I then deleted the thumbnails and rebooted my phone. When I fired up HTC Gallery, I noticed that none of the new folders (with pics) were not showing up, so I went into Root Explorer and noticed that they weren't there. :(

To test, I recreated a "pix_Wallpapers" folder on the root of my sdcard, rebooted, and fired up HTC Gallery ... looked in Root Explorer, and it was gone!

Am I doing something wrong, or are folders with pictures not allowed to be on the root of the sdcard? I have several other applications which store photos on the sdcard (e.g., ShootMe), which seem to be ok. Maybe it's a permissions setting?

Any help would be appreciated.

btw: AWESOME ROM!

Thats OK Just use the framework from this ROM and I will theme it. The 1 from wd's is also ok
[Droid Incredible Android Development] NilsP:
Try taking the card out and copy from the pc directly to the card
[Droid Incredible Android Development] JoeyBert:
Maps is causing a reboot and anything else that uses location (i.e Outbreak: Zombies) is causing Sense to crash when exiting the app - ideas?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jayochs:
joey, thats the GPS problem that's also on Gingersense REmix by WDfowty..thats why i asked nils if it was fixed on here; i guess it's not...it's a general gingersense problem i think
[Droid Incredible Android Development] roborob1969:
Weird. That worked! Thanks for the advice! :D

I had mounted my phone via USB (Disk drive) to my PC to create the sub-folders. Can you tell me why doing it that way would cause the folders to be deleted? Just curious.

I'm having a problem with the phone. Keeps force closing when I decline a call. Happens on the black dialer and the stock dialer. any one else having this happen?

Mail Widget functionality

First of all, round of applause for this ROM! My only question is whether there a Sense Mail Widget that is more of a "Universal Inbox". I love the PURE Messenger, but I have to run ADW or LP to get it to scroll. Pure Messenger gives you the pics from your contacts (in list format) with the gmail, SMS, and phone calls (or whatever you set up in the options) with a number of skins available.

Is there a Sense Widget that I'm missing that does something like this?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] KlugN:
Nils,

Sorry to bring this up again. I promise I'm not trying to beat a dead horse here. I was just wondering if you've had any luck with the 3.0 mail widget or what the chances of it being included in a future release are. It is such an improvement over the current mail app and I think that it would really give people another great reason to support your ROM.

[Droid Incredible Android Development] KlugN:
The closest thing is the 3rd people widget. It will give you pics from a designated contact list that you choose, as well as show you their most recent action, whether that is a birthday coming up, a recent status on Facebook, recent call, email, or SMS.

[Droid Incredible Android Development] SlimSnoopOS:
I love the community behind XDA for that very reason, I've learned a lot since rooting in January.

I have only had that issue once I first flashed the last two versions but it worked itself out both times. I tried wiping my dalvik cache only upon noticing that issue in 2.1 and that "helped" me but my friend had the same issue and for some reason removing his sd card was the only way he resolved his problem after reflashing the rom. Try removing the sd card, however bizarre that sounds, and see what happens. Obviously Nils is more knowledgeable at pinpointing a proper solution.

I'll keep an eye out for this behavior on my phone but I haven't had a reason to ignore a call. Usually I'd just hit the volume rocker on the side to silence my phone and wait until the call went away.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jdog94:
whats wrong with mail widget ? it works great for me
[Droid Incredible Android Development] SlimSnoopOS:
Judging by the post, it's more an inquiry of if the sense 3.0 mail app/widget will be in this rom. I don't know what the 3.0 version looks like or enhances and I notice many people posting about it on XDA.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] KlugN:
The current mail widget works perfectly. It looks and works exactly as it should. The 3.0 mail apk/widget just has more and better options (closer to gmail apk) and looks a lot nicer.

I flashed a 3.0 ROM a while back just to see what all the hype was about and immediately fell in love. I had asked Nils about it a few weeks back and he posted that he had forgotten to look into it so I was just checking again to see if he'd been making any progress. Not a big deal either way though I'm running this as my daily regardless. IMO it's really the only thing "missing" from this ROM other than carousel Rosie with remappable right button.

Have you used the app Gps status. it downloads gps assistance data ( current known sat positions) I do it at least once weekly and never have a problem getting gps to lock on any rom:)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] AlmostTactful:
I flashed my car....never thought I'd say that....about 2 months ago, but I'll give it a go again and see if there is an update. I used Synergy today however and it worked without an issue. I'm sure it's part car and part ROM on this point, if there is one thing I know about Sync is that it kicks butt...when it feels like working lol
[Droid Incredible Android Development] ascssmith:
I still can't get the gps to lock in, I'm trying to update radio as I'm on 2.15.00.11.19

No luck, as I copy over new evo radio, change name to pb31img.zip boot into hboot, it finds it and says it's invalid.... I know I haven't flashed a radio in a year but I can't be that bad and missed something?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] mirrin:
All in capital letters and on sd formatted to fat 32 also if your flashing the one I'm using in my sig that one is the leaked gb radio for the inc
[Droid Incredible Android Development] NilsP:
I am going to try to answer a few questions without all the quotes but you know if you asked it.

1) I have not had any luck yet with getting the 3.0 mail client to work. I am not giving up.

2) GPS should never fail but depending on which radio you are using it may take longer. I use it almost everyday. Suggest flash ROM without wipe which may fix it since I do some cleanup in the install script. I am using the 11.19 radio after experimenting with the Evo radios that to me showed no improvement.

3) Not sure what is going on with My Verizon. I downloaded the latest from the Market and at first it did not show up in the app draw but I rebooted and it was there and it worked.

4) I don't use BT sync with my car since I only have a aux jack. So, I tried it on my Sony iPod/clock radio and it worked. I then tried it in my friends Mitsubishi and it worked. Then tried it in another friends Ford pickup and it would not connect. Seems real hit and miss depending on the car stereo.

On a side note, if I can figure out how to theme the 3d clock and Rosie launch bar I will release a full carousel/3d ROM. Runs great with the latest tweaks.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jbh00jh:
Use my GPS every day all day and never have a problem with it locking. Try the GPS Status app on the market , it might help your GPS.

I am running the stock radio.

Re: the My Verizon issue...ever since the update to that app a few days ago, mine is working consistently on wifi, prior to that it was hit and miss. The app used to be 3G access only so as another poster mentioned, if you can't get it to load, try data connection with wifi off.

man i just keep finding myself coming back to nils' stuff all the time...tried out synergy, and while it seemed nice and snappy and whatnot, there were a few things that irked me that worked in nils and didn't work there...so i'm back and eagerly awaiting the next update..

nils, ever figure out if uot kitchen will work yet with this stuff? i remember last time i tried to do new icons, nothing worked and it kept all the same icons. i'm also wondering if you could possibly post the original lighter colored rosie and lock ring as a mod maybe?

i'm using landscape rosie again; any idea how to fix that calender widget? when you go landscape, the calender doesn't change to the landscape version like it does in the other landscape roms

2.1 over 2.1 to fix battery???

Greets - I foolishly flashed the 05.06 radio and my phone's battery and internet connectivity went to poo. I replaced the 7.28 radio and restored a nandroid, but now I am eating through battery again. I have disabled all syncing.

Has anyone who is faced with awful battery found any better results by flashing v2.1 over their existing v2.1? Any other thoughts?

Thanks
[Droid Incredible Android Development] KlugN:
I saw the same problem and mentioned it a while back. It was either here or synergy that I talked about it. Since I do use the calendar very frequently throughout the day, I opted to just go without the landscape mod bc the widget problem got too annoying for me.

[Droid Incredible Android Development] NilsP:
Go into recovery clear cache, dalvik, and battery stats

Flashing 2.1 over 2.1 without a wipe may also help.

I also recommend the 11.19 radio

There are a few things the UOT kitchen doesn't not handle correctly because it is a mixed 2.1 and 3.0 rom.

I will have to see what I can do with the calendar. Looks like the one I have does not include the landscape files/images. You may be able to pull the calendar from a ROM that it works in and replace the one in mine to fix it.

If you do a wipe and flash of 2.1 and then immediately flash the carousel before you boot it should work. You may not see the widgets on the screen at startup but they should be in the selection list.

If you flashed the carousel over an already working ROM you will lose the widgets

I have not got back to the rotating Rosie to see if I could speed it up but I am not very optimistic. Even cooking it in the ROM does not solve the refresh problem.

Could be..

A fair answer is that I have been working on a 3d version and am very pleased with it. It is very snappy cooked in and looks super. I just finished themeing the clock and Rosie launcher bar thanks to Stoney pointing me in the right direction. I just have to work on it putting the clock on the home screen at install time instead of having to manually add it.

The only problem with the 3d version will be that there will not be a rotating version untill later and also no changing the right launcher button.

I may simply release a 2.2 portrait only and a 3d portrait only then work on the rotating after that.

I wish I could figure out how to get rid of the poll in this thread and replace it with one for portrait only, rotating and 3d so I could get popular opinion.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jdmba:
Please don't forget.

Nils - Please don't forget to cook in Voice Dialer for those who actually want bluetooth button push to do anything :)

Also, the cooked in file explorer just got an update in the market, so perhaps cook in the newer version. Facebook and Adobe also got newer versions.

nilsp have you had any luck fixing netflix without it screwing other stuff

..................................

i would think if you started the poll you should be able to delete it
[Droid Incredible Android Development] NilsP:
Done, Done, Done HaHa

I will include the netflix in 2.2 and hope it works. It does not seem to break anything but I can't test netflix.

I thought so also but when I edit post 1 there is no option to do anything with the poll
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jdog94:
i would think you click somewhere on the poll itself to find option to delete
[Droid Incredible Android Development] KlugN:
Without there being a poll available yet, I would definitely vote for the 3d. Your upgrades are absolutely amazing. The one thing that 3d is lacking (which you already touched on) is that there is no remap of the right Rosie. I'm sure it's just a matter of time but that is also personally one of my most used features.

If you did create a full 3d ROM, would you keep it Business Sense themed including the Rosie Bar? I.love the sleek black and blue (although I wouldn't mind seeing it semi-transparent like the 3.0 Rosie).

Sorry to double post...

I know how much most of you love the 3.0 lockscreen. I loved it for a while, but it has started to become laggy for me, especially when opening apps from the lockscreen and answering calls, etc.

I decided to replace the current lockscreen apk with a standard android (sliding bar horizontally) lockscreen and noticed a couple things: loading time after unlocking was dramatically decreased, battery drain has slightly* improved, and my memory is now hanging between 98-112 whereas before it usually lingered around 70.

If anyone is interested in the old lockscreen apk I can post it here for you guys to try for yourself.

EDIT: I also have a sense 3.0 lockscreen with no app shortcuts or icons that I can share if anyone wants it. It just has the silver ring.

If any one wants a preview of the 3D ROM here it is:

GingerSense-3D

Remember that not all widgets will show on the home screens including the Weather Clock so you will have to add them from personalize. Working on that.

Also, you should install with a wipe since I have not tried to install it over the regular ROM

Plus no Rosie remap of right button and does not rotate home screens
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Slainez916:
I've been doing the same, trying to find a better radio. 05.06 didn't work for me, battery drained to quickly and couldn't stream anything online. Switched to 11.16, it's doing better as far as battery life and internet. I'm sticking to this for now.

I've used media fire for years. I use them for my levels that can reach over a couple hundred megs. Feel free to give a download a shot from my site, I have a paid pro account but when I used the free version it still had the same speeds it just allowed hot-linking and larger storage spaces..

www.amorton.com

and head to the level design page, then download a level. (the CTF-Immobile is only 40MB so it'll be the quickest.) The only thing with media fire is that a normal account has a max file size of 200MB, so you'd need a bronze account at 9 bux a month for ur roms.

I agree. You shouldn't have to pay to host when there are so many other options.

I don't mind waiting for your downloads. In the past when using other ROMs, waiting would get frustrating bc I would flash multiple ROMs during the week and sometimes even several every day. Even if I have to wait an hour to download yours, I end up running it for weeks anyway.

OK, took Nils' recommendation and decided to flash the 11.19 radio via hboot.

After flashing the radio, went to boot to recovery and I'm stuck at the splash screen. Been at least 10 minutes now.

Any advice? Will a battery pull brick the phone?

UPDATE: Thankfully, found this thread and we're operational.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jdmba:
Radio

For the record, my most severe 05.06 issue was overheating/rebooting (which we know happens when the phone tries too hard to process its data needs) and that is why I ran away as fast as I could; resulting in awful performance once I restored the 7.28.

I have moved onto 11.19 to see how that goes. I note that 11.19 LOVES 1x, but let's see what happens. With any luck, a GB release will come sooner rather than later, with VZW's view as to a real radio release (noting they have only had ONE for Incredible).
[Droid Incredible Android Development] NilsP:
Now I see your update.

Pulling the battery at that point is not a problem. I have never been successful booting from bootloader to recovery after a new radio.

Are there certain apps to avoid because i have noticed a couple apps crash my phone. When it restarts i loose the ability to get into it and need to reflash. :eek:

Using TB to restore apps is one, installing jjcomics is another, not sure about using Google Listen, but it might have crashed my phone as well.

Also i notice that my wifi just randomly turns off, what is the cause.

BTW i really like 2.1 it rocks.

If you are using TB to restore any app data that could be the root of all you problems. Also some apps are just not ready for GB
