havent tried for myself, but you should be able to change themes on this rom. I used to have a mytouch4g before i went back to the g2 i loved, and it had a theme manager, under personalize settings. check there?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] bsbokc:
The main problem as I see it is that the Doubleshot is a Sense 3.0 rom and the myTouch is still sense 2.1. But I am not even thinking about themes until I get all of the functionality of the ROM perfect. I am uploading RC3 now and that gets us closer but still not there.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] xT4Z1N4TRx:
LOL aha u badman
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] jmwils3:
sounds fair enough, we'll get it figured out eventually. :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] bsbokc:
You can definitely change themes, I like the Downtown one best. But there are only about 6 in the ROM I am sure if you looked in the MT4G/Glacier forums you would be able to find more.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] bsbokc:
Ya I also pm'd Cyanogen and rmk as well, if ANYONE can point us in the right direction it is them.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] jmwils3:
any chance you could link some here? as i said previously, im a former mt4g user, and i dont seem to remember any themes posted for it (well, like the ehemes in-rom, that is, idk if the flashable themes wouyld work on our device or not). there was a theme in the market, androidian, that was for the mytouch4g, but i think it was the froyo version.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] rr5678:
Does this have the small MMS issue on T-Mobile US phones?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] bsbokc:
I have sent and received maybe 3 MMS messages in my life and haven't tested it on this ROM but no one else has mentioned the problem so I would assume it works.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] chocohagelslagje:
Thanks that was the thing I wanted to know. I will wait for the new version and than really must try it out :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] bradley_e_smith:
Any chance of removing the bloatware from RC3? Maybe for good?

thanks
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] bsbokc:
Well in that case the time is now I just changed the link to RC3 and the RC3 - No bloat edition is uploading now.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] bsbokc:
No bloat version is uploading now will be up in 10 minutes. If there are any apps that you consider bloat that I have not removed let me know and I will take them out. When I come out with the final version I am going to move as many apps as possible to the data folder so they will all be user un-installable.

Edit: I really want to keep a stock version something that will look just like the myTouch 4G. I personally love the ROM and I don't mind the boatware, that is what root explorer is for. But some people like some of the bloat apps but not others and some people like them all, then there are some that hate them all. So it is hard to get a good balance of what to do. That is why on the final version I am going to keep EVERYTHING stock but move all of the bloat and as much else as I can to the Data folder to you can uninstall what you don't want yourself.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] 0.0:
This is a suggestion, but maybe you can make the rom with no bloat and have a flashable zip with all the bloat apps, as an option. That way, you won't need to make two separate versions and ppl will be happy :)

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Alipk52:
Not a bad effort at all...only thing i wanna ask as your screenshot shows, there is no fm radio in this rom, so can you add fm radio in it? This is what indeed supported by our phone's hardware, so why should we miss it?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] bsbokc:
That sounds like a great idea but I am still really a n00b at this and I have no idea how to make a flash-able zip although I am working on learning that now. And it is not much work at all to make two separate versions, all I do is have one base ROM then two separate /system/app/ folders and inject each one into it's corresponding ROM.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] bsbokc:
I will look into that and see what is available. I personally use Tune-In Pro but I am sure adding in something like the stock FM Radio from another sense rom wouldn't be a problem.

Speaking of being a n00b I don't know how to multi-quote in the forum so if someone can tell me I would appreciate it and hit the Thanks button.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Alipk52:
If you're a noob i am 10 time bigger than you :p you made a fairly good port...i told this coz its in our hardware, and tune-in pro requires network access thats tge only difference b/w built-in fm and tune-in :D
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] 0.0:
There's a multi-quote button at the bottom right hand corner of a post. Click that, then click quote on another post to have two quotes in one post. You can do more quotes, but I was only giving an example of two. Hope that helps :)

Sent from my HTC Vision
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] bsbokc:
Multi-quote still not working for me. I click on multi quote then on quote in another post and it only brings up the post I clicked quote in, if I click multi quote in both posts the quote in one it does the same thing. So I don't know maybe just a way to get my post count through the roof lol.

On another not I got the FM Radio working! I am trying to figure out how to make a flashable zip now so I can upload it to you guys. Do you want me to include the widgets as well?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Alipk52:
Widget is not necessary atleadt for me..coz i hav'nt used this yet...dunno what other users have to say :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] chocohagelslagje:
Wow, it's a really nice rom! Just flashed it and allready all my apps synced with google. It was never that fast with other roms! My question only is it possible for more languages? I do know my English so actually not really a problem but if possible Dutch would be nice :D Now my hope is dat the rom is nice for my battery too ;) Will see in about a day.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] bsbokc:
It has been really good on battery for me but I have been flashing about 20 times a day trying to update things so I may not be the best person to ask about that. As for the languages. I don't know how to add them, but I will learn. Keep checking back and as soon as I can do it I will add it for you.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] chocohagelslagje:
Again thanks! I will let you know how my battery will do tommorow after a night charge. If I get it to the next night for charging it's fine for me! And great if you get the language! I will certainly keep checking back!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] bsbokc:
OK for those of you who wanted the Radio, I have not been able to make a flashable zip. Just can't seem to get it to work right now. So I have uploaded the .apk in the OP. You can just download it and it to /system/app/ with ES File explorer if you have enabled root access or through ADB. The choice is yours.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Alipk52:
thanks man! You have fulfiled my request in no time :) Highly Appreciated!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] bsbokc:
Not exactly I couldn't make it a flashable zip. But I will soon. I know some people don't want to or know how to "push" files to their phone, but I will definitely include the Radio in the next version with the widgets as well. I am working on the swype problem now and hopefully will have a fix later tonight.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] kwalk316:
Decided to give this rom a try yesterday and so far so good. Really liking this one. No issues at all. Will update to the latest release tonight. Thanks for the rom, keep up the good work.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] bsbokc:
Swype is broken right now in the newest release, I just found a fix and as soon as I am able to figure out how to make a flashable zip for it I will be uploading the fix.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Alipk52:
I already uninstall it using titanium backup...never used this in any past rom :D
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] bsbokc:
Awesome! I think my eyes are about to fall out. I know this is so simple but I just can't figure it out. Maybe another 4 hours of googling will get it for me. Maybe not lol!:mad:

Edit: I am tired of trying to get this to work right now so maybe I will make the flash able zip later. Until then I have added a link in the downloads to a zip file THIS FILE IS NOT FLASHABLE! You can take the files and push them to their corresponding folders just as it is in the zip file. You can also extract them in ES file explorer and if you have Root Permissions move them to the corresponding folders, and overwrite the existing files.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] chocohagelslagje:
Hi I have an issue with my mobile data connection. In settings it is on but there is no connection when turning off wifi. Could flashing another radio help you think?

Also I don't use swipe, installed another one but typing mostly on the hardware keyboard.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] bsbokc:
I am not sure about the mobile data problem, no one else has mentioned it. But I would definitely suggest being on the latest radio. I just updated mine to the newest one. I didn't know one released about 2 weeks ago. Here is a link to the how to's and the radio downloads.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] chocohagelslagje:
Thanks, I flashed an older radio for another rom last week, now flashed the newest and it doesn't work unfortunately. Maybe it's also because there is no Dutch language that there is something missing too for the Netherlands for data network, I really have no idea, did not had it before? Don't know if it works for somebody else outside USA? Otherwise I can try reflashing or try another radio maybe...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Alipk52:
yeah i also use Es explorer for r/w access to root directories, but i always uninstall it coz dont know what is the advantage of swype :D lol
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] chocohagelslagje:
Yes, it is solved! I had to add APN manually at wireless & networks settings, mobile networks, Access point Names and search with google for the APN settings for HI, my network!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] bsbokc:
Great glad to see you got it working. I just woke up and was about to tell you that it had to be the APN lol.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] chocohagelslagje:
Alright :) Also, battery seems good but not sure yet, am busy calibrating now. Further it's very fast and apps install very fast too. Great rom!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] pernellparents:
I have been running this rom for about a day and this is coming from a dude who ran, cm7(latest nightly), glite, unity, virtuous sense, doubleshot and just about every other rom and My say on this Rom is that its very smooth to b a sense rom. Even though its only sense 2.1 I can deal with it. I haven't had any problems with it. The MMS size issue for tmobile phones that some of you are talking about is not present in this rom. You can recieve MMS perfectly fully sized. You might have to change the multimedia settings in the messaging app tho.

Just one question, is there anyway to get the peoples widget on this Rom ?? I know theres a fav widget, but that doesn't let me display a certain group in my google contacts
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] bsbokc:
Thanks for the kind words and ya I'm pretty sure I can add the people widget give me a few to test and I will let you know.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] bsbokc:
Got it running will be uploading RC3.1 with some added features later today.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] pernellparents:
Thanks a lot, for this to be your first port it is a very smooth and successful rom.

What are some of the other features that are going to be added into 3.1 and also can we just flash it right ontop of rc3?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] bsbokc:
Well I am moving a lot of the "bloat" apps to the data partition and because of that it will require a wipe. I am not going to make a bloat and no bloat version anymore. Just the one with the uninstallable bloatware.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ohcanada:
thanks for this rom! Honestly I thought this is just another laggy sense rom but this is so far the fastest sense rom i ever run. Virtuous is not fast enough, the official ota is not fast enough either, even with overclocking! This one makes me feel like running CM7, well not the same but very very close.

And it has trackpad wake built-in! This is definitely a killer feature. Message can be previewed in lock screen, it resembles the sense 3.0 appearance!

BTW this rom does have a mobile data access problem, you have to manually add your APN. I'm using this rom with rogers in canada. I can confirm that data works great after you add your APN. 4G sign on all the time.

The trackpad led is not working, which is expected cuz these 2 phones have different hardware.

And those T-mo things aren't that bad! I actually like the "faves" feature, looks very cool.

good job! I may stick with this and leave cm lol.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] bsbokc:
I am very glad to hear that, and since this is based of the TMO myTouch I think anyone not on TMO will have to configure the APN's themselves, unless there is a way for me to put them all in before hand, but then there are hundreds of networks out there so I don't think I am going to take the time to do all of that. But 3.1 will be up tonight with a few more fixes. It will also be the last rom that will require a full wipe. Since I am a little better at this now I know what needs to be done the first time then I only have to add things or change things already added so no wipe required! Anyways back to work glad to see you guys are enjoying it. Makes the effort all the more worthwhile:D.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] bsbokc:
Can someone test the DLNA for me I don't think we have the hardware for it but just want to see if maybe it works.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ohcanada:
another small thing. I was trying to type chinese with the hardware keyboard, language switching works! but when I start typing, it FC on me....typing english is totally fine. I guess I have to stick with google pinyin then.....

so far so good, this rom has great potential. Beside, it is android 2.3.4, not .3 lol
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ohcanada:
I don't know if this will work, did you try replacing the original apn list with the one in CM7? I'm a huge noob but I saw other ppl did that before and it worked
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] chocohagelslagje:
If still needed I can test in the morning (it's night here now, sitting downstairs with my sleepless son). Don't know if I am able to test, what is needed?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] bsbokc:
I will check into it. I have not really thought about that too much just trying to get some other apps working and getting more languages available. But I will get to that probably tomorrow.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] pernellparents:
No peoples widget?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] bsbokc:
Sorry I tried the one from sense 1.0 2.1 and 3.0 they all FC'd on me. If you want I can up the one from 2.0, it was working but only when it was pushed with ADB. Actually I am just going to go ahead and upload it now.

Here is a link as well. link
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] bsbokc:
Just see if it will connect. I don't have any DLNA compliant devices.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] pernellparents:
Is it anyway to push it with android terminal, I actually don't have adb set up right now, if so can you tell me the commands I can do it. That's only if you can, thanks anyway even if you can't
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] bsbokc:
I am not sure if you can I have never tried it but a quick google search would probably do the trick. Have you tried using ES File Explorer and changing permissions?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] chocohagelslagje:
Thanks for the new version. Downloading right now...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] bsbokc:
You are welcome and if you like the ROM hit the thanks button and/or rate the thread!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] chocohagelslagje:
Yes done that :) now going to test battery again. Yesterday it was very good.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] antinerd:
Just installed this sense 2 rom, and it is very fast for a sense rom!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] bsbokc:
Just remember to change your APN's for mobile data. I am looking into how to add them all from the start as well as more languages and also the power options right now.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] pernellparents:
Loved what you did to theming swype, its way easier to read the characters with the white theme, but I wanted to know if this the newest swype beta because on the swype beta when you click on a word it automatically goes to the end of the word so if you need to delete it it will delete the whole word. On your swype that you themed when you click on a word it will go where ever you clicked. I just wanted to know was this something you modified in the actual swype or was it already in swype?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Zacky32:
Hows the battery life on this ROM? Thinking of flashing this ROM..
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] chocohagelslagje:
For me batterylife is great! I am a moderate to sometimes heavy user. It's a great rom I think
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] heema88:
Is GPS working in this Rom? I live in Canada BC and GPS is a no go. The icon is nowhere to be seen and I don't think it's locking to the server can you please have a look @ it? Thanks OP
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] chocohagelslagje:
Hi, maybe this can help?

Link

Or this:

Link2

I used the second one on another rom and this worked for me!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Zacky32:
So I just flash this ROM, and its really fast I love it! Just wondering, how do you change the themes?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] TrueYears:
It crashes every time I try to type with the keyboard

Oh well Nice Port though I ll check it out late a gain
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] heema88:
Thanks for the tip. I didn't really do what you suggested but after reading those two links you send me I've decided re flash my radio and gps was working again =]

I reinstalled my laptop and haven't got adb set up yet but thank you again
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] chocohagelslagje:
You're welcome :) Glad that flashing the radio helped for you!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] chocohagelslagje:
Did you find out already? If not, here it is: Go to menu - modes and there click on normal mode there you can change the theme, wallpaper, ringtone, etc.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] bsbokc:
Are you using RC3.0 or RC3.1, if it is 3.0 then you are using a themed version of swype 2 something, if you are on 3.1 then you are using swype 3.0
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] bsbokc:
Glad to see you are helping out Hagelslagje, it helps me a ton for someone feilding some of these questions. Just wanted to let all of you guys know that yesterday I sold my G2. So I no longer have this phone. With your help though I still want to fix the problems it may have and add a few more features. I am taking off this week though and I will be back here working hard on this on Saturday, hopefully have a full final version done this weekend. So far we have had over 4,000 downloads and I think that is amazing. As far as I see it I have 4,000+ people that would probably like to see me finish this thing and 4,000+ people that will be happy when I do. So thanks for all the thanks and I look forward to finishing this for you guys and gals!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] chocohagelslagje:
You're welcome. Glad I could help :) Too bad you sold your phone. But sometimes that's needed. I'm glad that you will finish this one and if needed I will test for you. I did not find any bugs. The only thing that would make it even better is the apn's and language but if that's not possible it's still a fast, stable and battery friendly rom!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Zacky32:
Thanks! Manage to find it through your method.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] bsbokc:
Ya I still want to get the people widget working, get the FM radio working, and add the 4 way reboot also the APN's and languages then it will be done.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] heema88:
Fm radio is working great for me, indent see any problems with it unless it's hidden or something , I use it day to day.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Zacky32:
Hope you will make it super stable before you go :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] pernellparents:
Did u sell your g2 to get another phone, if so what phone??
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] xT4Z1N4TRx:
Another dev leaving the scene :'(
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] jmwils3:
you better not leave any time soon :P we need all the devs we can get
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] kwalk316:
Anyone having any problems with the hardware keyboard. Some of my keys are not mapped correctly.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] bsbokc:
I'm not leaving I am just temporarily moving to the HTC Inspire. But I am looking for another G2 if I can find a decent deal I will definately be back. The G2 was one of my favorite phones of all time. But I think next time it will have to be a desire z not a G2. Anyways guys I put in a little work today and to be honest I didn't really get much done, but I'm getting closer. Look for something big to come this weekend. I will be needing testers since I no longer have the phone so if you are interested, hit thanks, rate the thread, and PM me. Have a good night guys and gals, back to work for me.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] chocohagelslagje:
Did you found the time to work on the rom this weekend? Battery and performance is still the best on this rom for me.

And I like that I am able to set it to 7 screens and give it my own colour with the theme :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] bsbokc:
I am acctually working on it now. I should have something for you to test in a little while if you don't mind.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] chocohagelslagje:
I don't mind at all :) I have my titanium backup and google backup and like to flash and test roms :) and this is one of my favorites :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] bsbokc:
I have added a couple of flashable zips for you guys to try out let me know if they work.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] chocohagelslagje:
I have flashed the zips but it doesn't seems to work. Only choice is still English and Spanish and only normal boot/reboot options. Also no apn's are filled in (but I don't know if this was solved with this zip). Thanks for hard work anyway!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ATech:
This looks pretty cool. I'll give it a run and report back.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] bsbokc:
Thanks everyone who tried this out and for those still using it 6,000 downloads for my first ROM makes me feel pretty good. I hate to say that I am probably not going to be doing anymore work on this ROM unless I can pick up another G2 or Desire Z pretty cheap. Since I no longer own it, it makes it extremely hard to try to add things. I am now working on some stuff for the Inspire 4G/Desire HD so if you guys have one of those look forward to some cool new stuff coming in the future.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] SoMuch2S@y:
really sucks to see you go, this is by far my favorite ROM, love it, super stable, great battery life. I've tried them all and this is the best!

I just donated to buy you a beer, Salud!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Zacky32:
Yeah really sad to see you go by far the best ROM, hope you pick up a g2/desire z soon..
