Moving stuff around

Nils:

Flashed this today (with complete wipe from your Non-3D GingerSense 2.3); had to double flash (got caught in a bootloop the first time after restoring a few apps.

One question and one observation.

I see you've moved the boot animation from \data\local back to \system\customize\resource, and it has to be named hTC_bootanimation.zip. So what does the sound have to be renamed? Bootsound.wav doesn't work anymore.

Also, getting a "low memory" message. I'm guessing that I have to re-relocate apps to SD, but when I tried to do that through the built-in wizard, it told me my card was out of room. It's not. It's a 32gb card with lots of real estate left.

Will report back if trying to move stuff the conventional way (through applications manager) fails. Problem may be that I have a ridiculous number of apps (300+). I might have to show a little more discipline.

UPDATE: Got caught with bootloops again, and decided to step back to 2.3, reduce the number of apps, then come back a little bit later.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jbh00jh:
Yeah , that is really pushing the phones memory (300 apps).

Sent from my Verizon 4GLTE HTC Thunderbolt
[Droid Incredible Android Development] NilsP:
Sound is: /system/customize/resource/android_audio.mp3

And yes, on a ported Gingerbread ROM 300+ apps is really pushing it since we had to steal some user space to accommodate the system apps. That by the way is why I moved all that would fit on system back like customize.

Nils, I'm very proud of myself. I finally figured out why the rosie nav bar was greyed out. It was in the rosie.apk rosie_workspace.m10, Both timeline.navbar* were set to an Opacity of .69.

I am attaching a rosie.apk that is fixed. Flash in recovery.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] NilsP:
Good team. We both figured it out at about the same time. Actually I fixed it in the remap-able Rosie I am about to post.

This will be great for people who want to go back to stock Rosie.

Thanks
[Droid Incredible Android Development] NilsP:
Remap-able Rosie

I just thought I would give you a taste of what is in the future release

I just posted a flash-able zip for the Rosie launcher in post 3.

It includes:

Remap-able right launcher button (Rosie Settings in app draw)

5x4 app drawer

Semi-transparent app drawer

Larger launcher bar

Generic right button image

Try it and if you want to go back to personalize button flash kentsimon Rosie above

Thanks to newtoroot for working with me on this.

QUESTION: Does anyone mind if I include this in the next release?

I read today they have a leaked copy of the Inc 2 GB rom.

[Droid Incredible Android Development] hgoldner:
That's another reason I rolled back to 2.3. No right Rosie remap. (Big deal to me). I'm still working on furiously uninstalling apps and will wait for your next update to flash. (Maybe I could get a second Incredible for the rest of my apps......? Naaaaaaah.)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] NilsP:
Need to check that out. Thanks

Very nice work. I would love to see landscape on the Sense 3.0 ROMs.

Edit: gallery only shows partial of final image in a particular row, sure its a resizing issue that's known but throwing it out. Really isn't even a issue.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] NilsP:
OK. Re-mappable will be in the next release

I have been thinking about landscape but not sure how much effort to make it happen.

Yes, I am aware of the right column in the gallery and do want to fix it and have tried but not been a priority
[Droid Incredible Android Development] scarfoot:
Looks great, not sure about the 4x5 app drawer. I like the 4x4 better since apps with long names aren't cut off... Otherwise great job!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] caleris:
I had the same exact issue but only have like 70 apps.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Newt:
Nils I have a new cam for you lol panorama and hdr included works as smooth as this one..... Btw landscape is possible but you well have to change rosie and every sense widget plus the fusion.apk to the ones from doubleshot these roms don't have the landscape images built in.... I'll send you the cam when I get home

2.3 is running good.

I still have that funky issue where Facebook and Flickr turns its sync on. I turn off sync for both of them and when I check it the following day both are sync again
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jbh00jh:
That's the main reason I took those off my phone and put them on my tab , they suck up too much battery with all that syncing.

Advice

No better place then here to ask this question,

I have been dealing with my 4gig sandisk sd card for long enough, Im tired of having to delete stuff, to add stuff.

I was thinking of going to a 16 gig sdhc card.

What speed class do you guys recommend?

Any recommendations?

Any cards I should avoid?

Thanks

Hitch
[Droid Incredible Android Development] SlimSnoopOS:
Yea, I'm on v2.2 though so my background is black where yours is white. Why do you ask about messages?

I have been using an 8gb Class 6 Lexar micro sdhc since I bought my phone in July 2010. If I were to upgrade, I would buy another Lexar and make sure the class is at least Class 6 for transfer rate purposes. I don't have any preferences though, I'm curious to see what others say as well.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] NilsP:
Folks, I need your guidance.

I do not like to have too many ROM's going at one time so I need help deciding where to focus my energies.

I have a GB2.3.5 New Sense 3.0 ROM running and every thing works except for the following:

No mount of EMMC to PC (Music plays)

Can't theme clock due to new M10 format until M10Editor is updated

No right Rosie settings yet.

No camera save to EMMC (SD is fine)

Camcorder only records at 720P

I have started a GB2.3.5 with Sense 3.5 and has the same problems as above.

The only thing that won't be themed Business Sense is the clock and Rosie launch bar at the bottom.

So the question is which would you prefer I focus on?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] EricS96521:
The changelog for 2.3 said mms was updated. What did the stock messaging look like? I know it wasn't blue. I just want a normal messaging app. Stock sense style.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] NilsP:
I agree, anything class 6 or above.

Most of the cards to avoid don't make a class 6 so that is easy. Also, if they don't publish the class it is low so avoid it.

Gets my vote!

Your ROMs are rock solid and I would absolutely love to try one of yours with 2.3.5/3.5

Thanks Nils
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Hitch_Itch:
I was hoping you would do a GB2.3.5 with Sense 3.5

easy decision, go for the GB2.3.5 with Sense 3.5

I thought I read somewhere Sense 3.5 is not nearly as bad as a memory hog as Sense 3.0 is. I would think it would run better, not that your 3.0 runs bad, I dont have any issues with it. just saying I would think it would be easier, but then again what the hell do i know;)

[Droid Incredible Android Development] SlimSnoopOS:
My vote goes for Business GingerSense 3.5 :cool: I don't know what more you could improve with another Sense 3.0 rom, this rom is fine tuned NilsP.

Thank you NilsP! I have been trying to decide which of the new GB 2.3.5 Sense 3.5 ROMs to try. You made my decision simple! Eagerly awaiting the new ROM from my favorite dev... ;)

On a side note: Have you tried the M10 editor on the clock widget? It worked well on the lockscreens, maybe would work on clock widget. I'd be willing to give it a try once I can get my hands on the clock widget file.

Oh, sure... I just get 3.0 running perfectly and now you tempt us with 3.5! Guess it's onward and upward.

NilsP, I liked the look of the messaging in 2.2. Is there an optional flash from the stuff linked in Post 3 to restore that?

[Droid Incredible Android Development] Bull_Moose:
This is the one I'm waiting for. I've always had the best luck with your ROMs and I'm still loving the 2.1/3.0 hybrid.

Is it possible to get the Quick Launch Widget from the Bliss port to this? Is it as simple as an apk install?

It is in post 3

My bad numbering. Should work fine.

Is it the "Black Inverted Messaging?"

I say 3.5 also. I tried the bliss one you were a contributor to get a feel of the 3. 5 widgets etc. I need gps and it was borked on that one so came back to 3. 0 here same day lol. Camera and gps were two biggest issues I had with the bliss 3.5 everything else was pretty nice. Look forward to your real 3. 5 as im sure everything will work and be stable from you fairly soon!

+1 on the 2.3.5 / 3.5 port. I've been using your Business Gingersense 3.0 (v2.1, never went to 2.2) for the past couple of weeks and I agree with the majority here... it's as close to perfect as a ROM can be. I don't know that there's much you can do to improve it.

Good to see another old WinMo veteran here btw. I haven't done much with my Incredible other than to root and install your ROM, but back in the day I used to cook my own WinMo ROMs, going way back to WinMo 5 on my PPC-6700 (yes, I was in the IRC room when HelmiC announced that he had ported WinMo 6 to the 6700). Good times, those...

BTW Nils: took a look at your personal page. How do you like your Behringer V-Ampire? I have the same amp, play my Fender American Standard Telecaster through it. Amazing stuff, that modeling... got it sounding exactly like a 60's Fender Twin Reverb.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] earendurh:
I agree a 3.5 rom would be sweet with your mods. As eraste mentioned above too, I'm also concerned about the GPS. I've noticed since 2.0 it seems to take noticeably longer to hone in to my location than when I first started using this ROM around 1.4. Before the lock-in would occur within 10 seconds, now I'm seeing it take at least a minute both in Maps and my running app Cardio Trainer. This is kind of annoying when I'm ready to go out for a run or need to navigate somewhere on the fly while driving (and I won't complain about voice search within Maps while in the car as many have already done, but this is troublesome also).

Is anyone else seeing this?

Other than that, I am still loving this rom and very much look forward to any improvements sense 3.5 may bring. Might just get me excited for the Vigor which seems to be just around the corner. My vote is on this one or the Prime for your next phone to develop on since it's about time to upgrade around November :)

I am seeing the delayed GPS lock too - and the voice search not working in the car also - the voice search possibly seems to be tied in general to GB/Sense and I think there was some patch for the Evo late in August to address it specifically for that device.

Is anyone else getting constant FCs in version 2.3? I had to restore back to 2.2, but would there be any way to get 2.3 working without doing a full wipe (I flashed over)? Thanks.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Bull_Moose:
I always recommend doing a full wipe. Typically if you do a flash over and it is still force closing, then full wipe is your best bet.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Hitch_Itch:
I did a flash over with 2x cache wipe and 2x d cache wipe. No fc's for me yet, 2.3 is working just as good as v2.2 for me.

I flashed the "Black Inverted Messaging" from Post 3, and it's NOT the sleek, glossy-look Blueish/Teal and White on Black from 2.2. It's very "flat." I loved the sleek/shiny/glossy 2.2 SMS/MMS with the black background - that is what I'd love to get back in 2.3.

Is it something I could perhaps just pull out of the 2.2 ROM and install as an .apk sideloaded?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] mirrin:
do you still have the zip from 2.2 if so you could dig into it and pull out the mms apk and then load that either by replacing it in the 2.3 zip with 7zip or by loading it

i did that with the newer market apk 3.1.3 it seems to work fine...
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Trebuchette:
Eh, ...crap. I lost smartass going from 2.1 to 2.3. Anyone else? (setcpu)

(wiped dalvik but didn't wipe data; everything else is working well though...heh, except keyboard, d/ling no-arrows keyboard now)

Is there another kernel I should be using, or should I have wiped everything before flashing?

TIA!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] NilsP:
Just take the /data/system.app/Mms.apk out of 2.2 and put it in the same place in the 2.3 zip file then flash without wiping. 7zip works best for drag and drop.

No, that did it! The old file worked and I've got my smartass back! Thanks again :)

Not a problem. The modules aren't tied to the rom, they are tied to the kernel btw.

1) ...which recovery are you using?

2) ...how long was it on the splash screen?

4) ...did you try redownloading and reflashing?

[Droid Incredible Android Development] SlimSnoopOS:
I can't advise on how long one should or should not wait on a splash screen, mine always boots within two minutes. That's even when I replace the boot animation and remove system apps. I suggest a redownload and maybe formatting boot and system in recovery.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Tired of the Bull:
Android doesn't play well if you don't prepare properly before installing a new ROM.

I stole the following from wildstang83 but there are many versions of these instructions and I think these are the minimum that should be done between ROMs.

Installation Instructions

1. Put Rom on the root of your SD Card

2. Compare MD5 Sum (if available)

3. Reboot to Recovery

4. Wiping these:

• Main Screen:

• wipe data/factory reset

• wipe cache partition
​

• Advanced:

• Wipe Dalvik Cache

• Wipe Battery Stats
​

• Mounts and Storage:

• Format-

• /boot

• /system

• /datadata

• /data

• /cache
​

5. Install Rom from SD Card

6. Reboot and enjoy!

Note: First boot is really long

I then use Titanium Backup to restore some of my user apps but never anything for the system apps because that is just begging for problems. If you want to test the ROM install properly, do the clean ROM install and then test the areas that were problems for you before restoring anyhing with Titanium.
