In this case for sending it back there is a right hboot and its the same proccess for switching back.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] pmcqueen:
^^^

would appreciate if one of you guys could test this.

and, for the love of all things holy, create a backup of your original systemui.apk (or just pull it from the unity rom zip) before you replace it with mine. I am not able to test so I don't know if it's going to bork your phone.

thanks!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] CodeMonkey-10:
^^^^^

I would love this also!!! any testers would be greatly appreciated!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] mputtr:
is it not possible for you to test it out on your own phone? Just curious.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Stratspider230:
Apparently no one wants to brick their phone. Guinnea pigs are required
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] cjward23:
It wont brick your phone, at the worst you will need to reflash the ROM
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] pmcqueen:
it's not going to brick your phone.. worst case scenario is you have to push the original systemui.apk back to /system/app in place of my modified systemui or reflash the rom altogether (I highly doubt that though)

I am running Cm7 and I have no desire to run unity or any sense build, and I'm not going to dl and flash just to test 4g icons.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] d@rklink:
I have another issue that is driving me crazy and I hope its just a simple setting I am missing. When I first installed the ROM yesterday, the touch keyboard was working fine. Now I can't seem to get it to come up in any app. The only thing I can use for typing is the hardware keyboard.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Mnemoch:
I have a UK Desire Z so went with the .16 radio since it was WWE and not T-Mobile. Probably doesn't make any difference but I felt better doing it, and it is working great so will stick with it.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] SG_Shadow:
I would recommend checking the settings for "language and keyboard." Maybe you somehow disabled it. Also, I would recommend using swype keyboard as it is awesome!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Mnemoch:
Did you check your keyboard options in Language and Keyboard in Settings? First I have seen of that problem so has to be that or an app you installed...or a bad flash?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] SG_Shadow:
Not trying to be a ****, but why did you click this thread and even go so far as to post? I'm sure others were wondering the same.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] d@rklink:
Checked all language and keyboard settings and everything looks fine. I did enable the trace keyboard as well but still no on screen keyboard when in any apps. Should I just reflash the ROM?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Mnemoch:
Did you wipe? I tried flashing just for fun without wiping and I got the same problem...wipe and reflash and all better (except Google Reader restored from Titatium Backup wouldn't sync in the background and force close so I uninstalled it, haven't reinstalled fresh yet to see if that would make it work)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] pmcqueen:
not to be a counter-****, but I am providing something to unity users without even being a unity user myself, so why are you getting on my case?

someone requested 4g icons in the theme section, I provided. no one replied there so I came here to see if anyone would test.

edit: to make it easier for someone willing to test... put systemui.apk from my dropbox on your sdcard and move to /system/app, or adb push to /system/app, set permissions correctly (either with a file manager that supports permissions modification or chmod 644) and reboot. if you have 4g icons, it worked. if you still have h icons or you're getting force closes or a bootloop, it didn't work.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] mputtr:
sorry pmc, but the problem would be that none of us has any idea who requested the 4g icon and so the best bet would probably maybe message the person interested? it just seemed completely random that someone is suddenly asking people to test out something without doing it themselves.

This is ofcourse, not attacking you or anything, but it's from a perspective of "where did that come from". It's good that you're willing to help others out, it just threw alot of people off to have it suddenly appear as if it's always been there. I'm personally completely fine with my H icon and I'm on a pretty tight timeframe, so I personally wont be able to test it out. but good luck.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] heybobitsme:
Sorry, that was me in the thread in the Themes Sub-Forum. I just tried to do it with Root Explorer and screwed it up. I did things in the wrong order and had a constant systemui force close. Trying again.

Edit: It worked. I again did it with Root Explorer, but it would be better to push it with adb. After backing up the original, I put the modded systemui.apk in and it started force closing before I could set the permissions. It may be a good idea to do that beforehand. Thanks pmcqueen!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] taob:
He mentioned it came from the theme subforum, specifically here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=15199735#post15199735 .
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Mnemoch:
Aha, HTCSense.com is doing it. Pretty nice!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Mnemoch:
Mine do too, but always did with my previous Virtuous 1.85 ROM as well. I use "SMS Time Fix" from the market, works great to correct the time stamp...this fixes the order. they show up in...but only new messages old ones are not corrected.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] mputtr:
that much was revealed when he mentioned that in the post above my previous one, but before that, there was no mention that it came from a request in the themes forum, that's why it confused people because it literally came out of a different thread that most of those here do not frequent as often.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] pmcqueen:
thanks, mr. bob. I'll create a mini guide in the theme section for any one else interested in having 4g icons in place of H.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] taob:
Confirmed here that it works, although it also seems to mess up my notification pulldown background. I'll post some screenshots soon.

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] pmcqueen:
oh wow. that's wonky. let me try zipaligning and see if that fixes... will have a new apk to try shortly.

thanks guys.

edit: here is a zipaligned version. note that you need to change the filename.. don't think your phone would be too happy with zaSystemUI.apk ;)

nothing else has been changed. let me know if it fixes or not. nothing else in the apk was modified aside from deleting the H pngs and duplicating the 4G pngs, then naming them as the H's, effectively replacing H with 4G, so I'm not sure why status bar images would have been modified.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] taob:
Okay, I'll give it a try. I'm using a UOT Kitchen SystemUI.apk, so I'm guessing that while the PNG files themselves are fine, there may be references to additional graphics not present in your SystemUI.apk, at which point the ROM might just grab the first icon it finds. ;)

I happen to have all my system APKs disassembled on my hard drive right now (working on something else), so it won't be too hard to compare the contents of yours and mine.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] LAMER_CZ:
Rotating home screen

Hey guys,

I didn't find any fix to disable that bloody annoying home screen animation. It's just so awful and slow:( Is there any fix or something?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] heybobitsme:
I believe I did this correctly through adb, but the graphical errors remain. Just in case here's the commands I used after downloading and placing in my sdk folder:

adb pull /system/app/SystemUI.apk
adb remount
adb push /path/to/sdk/tools/SystemUI.apk /system/app/
adb shell
chmod 644 /system/app/SystemUI.apk

I won't be able to check any progress until tomorrow so I can't help until then.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] taob:
You mean with the default Sense 3.0 launcher, where your home screens "swirl" into place? I just use a different launcher. ;)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] taob:
Are you talking about the same "graphical errors" I am? See the second screenshot in my post above.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] heybobitsme:
Yes, except the pull down bar is stretched also.

Edit: Here's a screenshot.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] pmcqueen:
POOP!

ok let me try something else...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] CodeMonkey-10:
Hey, I just wanted to say thanks for testing the icon out, i would have been no use if i had tried to do this. And i would have somehow messed up my phone in the mess also, HECK IM TOO CHICKEN TO EVEN TRY ADB!!! 4G icon looked nice quality before it screwed up the rest of the notification bar! haha, anyways hope it works out. Would it be a simple flash recovery or would i need to replace the SystemUI.apk? and do you think there should be a separate thread to follow this? if so, and if there is already if you could put up a link that'd be great. Thanks for you work guys, hope to hear back from pmcqueen soon with this "something else" he is trying!

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] heybobitsme:
A flashable .zip would be a lot easier in that you could backup the ROM and restore if it isn't right. But for testing, the adb method is the way to go. As far as another thread, we probably should move this conversation over to Themes as this isn't directly related to this ROM.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] taob:
The "brute force" method would be to do a full nandroid backup, and then if things mess up, restore from that backup. But if you know what you are doing, you can selectively replace just /system/app/SystemUI.apk, reboot, and you should be fine. However, that assumes you have adb setup. Having some knowledge of how Linux works (which is really all Android is underneath the shiny bits) also helps.

Anyway, this is kind of getting off-track from VU discussions. :D
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] CodeMonkey-10:
Ok I see what you mean, makes sense to move to another thread.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] CodeMonkey-10:
I really dont know anything about adb and such code and what not, so im asking whether this is fixable? your work is greatly appreciated!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] taob:
I deleted my two most recent posts and moved them over to the existing thread in the Themes subforum. pmcqueen, I posted the solution over there (re: 9-patch PNGs).

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=15267911#post15267911
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] taob:
Yes, it should be easily fixable. pmcqueen had the right idea: you just need to replace the "H" icons with ones that say "4G" in the graphic, that's it. But for some reason, some of the other graphics he included did not match up with what was in the stock ROM.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] DaygosTommyT:
hey! try this for the 4g icons, I used the zip that xboarder uses for his 4g icon zip and changed the SystemUI.apk with the one I have working on my G2 with 4g icons. I just switched the names of the H and 4g png files and it works for me. Create a backup just to be safe!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] LAMER_CZ:
Different, but which one? I like sense weather integrated when I unlock phone:)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] taob:
Oh, you're like me then... I am always checking the weather with my phone! :D Try doing this:

Go to Settings -> Personalization and use the Weather lockscreen. With wake-on-trackpad, that gives you the fastest way to see current conditions. Note that you MUST be using the Sense launcher for this to work. It does not work if you have set your default home app to something else.

Install a different launcher. I personally like GO Launcher EX, but I have also tried LauncherPro and ADW Launcher EX.

Install a 3rd-party clock/weather widget. I'm using Sense Analog Glass Clock, but there are lots of others that look more like the Sense widget (e.g., 3D Digital Weather Clock and MIUI Digital Weather Clock).
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] monomer888:
Changing the launcher won't get rid of the Weather Lockscreen. There are a few alternatives. More well known ones are the likes of Launcher Pro (the paid version has more features). GO Launcher is a good free launcher that I've tried in the past and you can even choose a rotating cube effect but alas it doesn't spin.

Bear in mind that if you choose an alternative launcher, you lose access to all the lovely Sense widgets. There are alternatives on the Market to some of them.

EDIT: Yeah, what taob just said!! :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] l3wish:
Up and running :)

Noob question. I haven't install a SENSE ROM for a while now. I've been on CM most of the time. Last night I tried to flash this rom and everything was installed, But when i Booted the phone it sent me back to recovery.

Do I need to adb something or ext?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] mputtr:
please search the post before you ask this. You're probably using a G2, so you need to flash for DZ hboot. check this sub forum for the instructions or go to www.virtuousrom.com
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] deliciousj:
Flashed it and it works great from what I can tell. Thanks!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] CodeMonkey-10:
Hey i asked that noobish question myself 2 days ago, anyways here is how to get it to work, you need the DZ H-Boot (guessing your using G2?) here is how to install it on your phone without adb... (and here is the download... http://files.virtuousrom.com/vision/misc/PC10IMG.zip)

Do a full nandroid backup before any of this, and you will need an sd card reader....

Download the h-boot and move it to the root of your sd card.

Turn the phone off and turn it back on by holding volume down and power.

You’ll be ask if you want to update, press volume up to proceed.

After your done you be asked press power to reboot, press it.

You should will see the white HTC screen, wait 5-10 seconds then pull battery.

Pull sd card out of phone, and place in a card reader.

Delete the PC10IMG file and put the sd card back in the phone.

Then hold volume down and power to go to bootloader

Once in bootloader go to recovery

Do not wipe anything because the new h-boot wiped everything

In recovery go to install zip from sd card

Then, choose zip from sd card

Find the Virtuous Unity Rom in the sd card.

Choose it and wait for it to install

Once it is finished choose reboot now.

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] LAMER_CZ:
Thanks.

I know I still have lockscreen weather, but I like the clouds etc. at home screen too. I tried both launchers before, but I was not impressed as much as I would:) Maybe I give them a try ...... and maybe I give a try to rotating cube .....

I just can't understand why there is no option to disable, I would be really pis.... if I get this sh... in HTC update:)

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] CodeMonkey-10:
I thought that if you use another launcher such as launcher pro you still get to use the widgets from htc sense?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] jayb222:
Launcher pro plus has htc like widgets. I like them better because unlike the original widgets, they're resizeable and scrolling is actually smoother. If only launcher pro plus had the semi 3d animation.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] SG_Shadow:
I honestly have no idea why your keyboard isn't working. The ONLY thing I can recommend is doing a full wipe and install. If the ROM boots, your good on the hboot (which appears to be 90% of peoples problems). If all else fails, download the swype keyboard. The new swype 3.0 keyboard is out. Much better then default system keyboard.

My findings on 1.26

Bugs:

- Auto correction/prediction still only in English (EN) when typing in HTC Mail or SMS, even if the phone is set to German. FN+Space only shows English.

- Email/SMS Text still gets lost, when switching apps (or receiving a call) while typing.

Rest seems very good.

Especially OK:

- Selecting different Alarm/Ringtones in the alarm clock now worked for me on the first run.

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] monomer888:
If you applied the CRT (TV) effect patch, then having the orange/red notification light up is a side-effect of opening and closing the hardware keyboard. It's usually switched off by touching the top notification bar.

If you haven't, then you might need to give us a few more details about it.

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Scythe01:
Noticed a few things:

Calendar app not syncing at all.

Shorter battery life - new battery so I might have to cycle it, even so the stock ROM made the battery last alot longer despite max brightness.

App details (size readings especially) in Settings or any Task Manager app go berserk then stop a few seconds later.

Just noticed an issue with wifi. I have two remembered SSIDs, and both use WPA2-PSK encryption and authentication. But when I first boot up and wifi is on, it will say it is connected to "null", with extremely low signal strength. In fact, the notification bar icon is just the dot, without any of the "waves". 3G data is thus disabled (because the OS thinks wifi is available), but I can't actually get anywhere.

Turning wifi off and then back on allows it to find my AP at home, get an IP address, and connect out to the rest of the Internet. I've looked through the remembered list of SSIDs via Android System Info, and there is no "null" network. It only shows the two known networks.

Anyone else seeing this? It only seems to happen after a reboot.

change the keyboard shortcut key to stop it from running an app. that and press the search button (on the keyboard) once and see if it does it again. I had to deal with not too long ago when I was on what's app and I can't hit S or it takes me to messages. I just went into the shortcuts and found the S shortcut and removed it.

for somereason, it sometimes think you're pressing a certain modifier for no reason. just check the shortcut keys and see if it correlates to yoru problem.
