[HTC Sensation] another_noob:
Yes, I am a complete noob. With a new HTC Sensation my very first contact with Android, a couple of days ago. And bloodshot eyes from hours and hours and hours and hours of reading through endless conversations about custom ROMS and S-OFF flags and temporary roots and so on, all of which has taught me that I can permanently root my phone with "Revolutionary" if I want to, but which still hasn't told me whether this would achieve anything beyond voiding my warranty.

All I want to do is get rid of HTC's "Sense". I just want plain, ordinary, vanilla Android on my phone. In my ignorance I thought this would be easy once the phone was rooted; but the more I've read about the procedures involved in rooting this thing, the more concerned I've become that I can't see any evidence of a follow-up procedure for wiping HTC's modifications and installing a "clean" Android. This "CyanogenMod" ROM so many of you seem to be waiting for doesn't look like stock Android to me: it looks like another bunch of modifications to replace HTC's. Am I missing something here? Is vanilla Android achievable via root simply by uninstalling "Sense"? From what I've read it looks more like I need to install Gingerbread from scratch, but if this is so, where is it?!

I loathe unnecessary bloatware (and run Slackware largely for that reason), but at least HTC's "Sense" seems polished and relatively bug-free. I don't particularly like it, but it works. If rooting my phone is only going to enable me to replace it with someone else's buggier and less polished bloatware, I'm not sure that it's worth it. After all these hours I think I've finally compiled a list of steps that will, if I follow them, leave me with a rooted HTC Sensation. Is there, somewhere, a guide to installing plain vanilla Android once this has been done? If not, is there any good reason why I shouldn't just learn to love "Sense" and keep my warranty intact?
[HTC Sensation] chewbz:
Cyanogen mod is basically stock android with more features such as the cpu over clocking, different lock screen styles, adw launcher, etc. If you want the aosp launcher then you can download go launcher and turn on the 3d app drawer or get the gb luancher. If your looking for a bone stock gingerbread rom I don't know if that exists outside of the nexus forums, but Cyanogen is better then bone stock aosp anyways.

[HTC Sensation] dcwiker05:
CM7 is close to AOSP but your right it has some added features, NOTHING like sense though basically its AOSP with a few added features like theme chooser lock screen button music control (when your phone is screen off with music playing you can change the track by holding volume up, pause with camera button) CM7 is basically AOSP a side from those types of mods. As of right now there is no offical "vinilla" android roms for the sensation.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1098849

This rom has a "sense-less" version but it is still a "sense" ROM and kernal just with the sense bloat ripped out and replaced with Gingerbread 3D launcher.

Basically you have to be patient CM7 is coming shortly and I am sure once it lands people will strip it of the CM7 goodies and make a vinilla ROM out of it. As for rooting its what gives you the ability to flash different ROMS and remove sense and bloat ect. So you must root to do anything you want to do. The rooting procedure for the Sensation is MUCH easier then root for the G2/MyTouch 4G aside from entering a Beta key and flashing SU after Revolutionary does its deal its basically a one click precuder. Where as with the MyTouch it was a lot of code entering in Terminal and stuff it sucked!

The long short of it is ROOT, WAIT, FLASH (AOSP OR CM7) ENJOY! Waiting though is the ulimate KEY!
[HTC Sensation] jelliottz:
If you can't wait for a little while, download ADW launcher from the market. It will give you a stock feel over Sense. It won't replace it, but it will make you feel better for the time being.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fizu:
so, finally i decided to root and flash CM7

root with unrevoked went smooth and well (love when it says "this was a triumph")...

so i downloaded ROM MANAGER , made the Clockwork stuff and finally gave the instruction to partition the sd card (8gb, dunno the class... is 1 year old sandisk anyway)... the phone just reboot and get stuck with an image of a droid with a triangle and a "!" inside it...

i searched the fora but seems that no one got this problem...

please take in consideration that i am a total n00b, and i would like to do everything without too much effort from my side (please appreciate my honest being) ... i suppose that this partioning is necessary to run cm7 and app2sd...

how can i solve this problem?

reading other threads just gave me an enormous list of programs, linux, ubuntu etc etc and the basic result is me thinking: "wtf"

thank you for any useful answer...

Ciao!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k3lcior:
Do full wipe/factory reset & dalvik cache wipe.

Try to repartition SD Card in recovery (choose 512mb+ ext partition and no swap)

Flash ROM from recovery, see what happens.

No need to use ROM Manager.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fizu:
thx k3lcior

i wiped and ect

how to partition from recovery?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k3lcior:
Depends on recovery, if you have some old one it might be not possible. :(

Just look at the recovery, should be somewhere in "Advanced" if i remember correctly.

ps.

Are you comfortable with linux?

There is very easy guide: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sVK-tJe8pXE&feature=related

Just instead of making 3 partitions make Fat32 and leave 1GB for ext2/3.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fizu:
actually is Clockwork recovery v2.5.0.7 and is impossible to find any "partition sd" in the menus ... how can i get and install a different recovery (ie yours seems cool) ?

ps.

totally unfamiliar with linux...

Download to flash through HBOOT. Put it onto your sdcard, rename it to PB99IMG.zip and boot into bootloader. (hold vol - and power)

If somehow it still didnt worked, you can try to Root again with Unrevoked, download this: http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=661319&stc=1&d=1311251519

Extract it, in Unrevoked choose "Custom Recovery" at the top under "file" and select the .img file you extracted, should be good. ;-)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fizu:
ok i dl the file, put in sd and renamed it... and boot into bootloader, then pressing recovery its always giving me the old clockwork recovery...

is this related to rom manager always? should i uninstall it?

sorry for being sooo n00bish
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k3lcior:
When you put it into root of the sdcard (not any folders), renamed to PB99IMG.zip upon entering bootloader (vol- power) it should ask if you want to apply update, hit yes.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fizu:
so finally i solved...

Updating from recovery was not working (same for bootloader), and i was starting to lose the hope...

so i managed to install CM7, planning to try a Panasonic program to partition drives in windows...

I have found in CM7 again ROM MANAGER, tried again to partition with no chance...

i re tried "Fix Permission" command into it and this time it worked (was not working in stock ROM)

then again partition with no chance...

in recovery mod i tried to install zip from SD (your recovery mod) , with no succes...

suddenly i have found in the menu "toggle permission" command, pressed it and then again "install zip from SD"

here come the mystery:

Phone started to partition the card, but without installing the new recovery... result: it seems that now card has a partition ...

i also installed the zip of gapps and now i can start to enjoy CM7 with all the google stuff etc...

im stille convinced that in the phone there are some gnomes that sometime are lazy and sometime not...

anyway i would like to thank you for your help and patience, hope that this experience might help someone other even if the best suggestion that i can give after all is : pray the gnomes...

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Beamen1:
I want Norwegian voice for my Navigon GPS (as the street names sound weird in English), but I want the rest of my phone in English.

I tried renaming the Norwegian sound files to English and vice versa, but that didn't work.

I can live with the program being in Norwegian, but the best would be English everything (minus voice).

Any ideas? Thanks!

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] epedrocost:
hello there. did you find the answer? i need it too
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] misaifan:
I've found a solution!!!

Apparently it only works if you change the language of your entire system. But sometimes you haven't got the proper language or you don't wanna change. Then you can use the app morelocale2. I've found this on another bbs.

1. Download MoreLocale2 app from the market and install it.

2.Choose your language

3.Open Navigon and it will automatically detect your selected language and use it for UI and SOUNDS.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] gbmolina:
Doubt it...

I strongly doubt this approach, morelocale2 just gives you more languages it does not fix this specific issue, when you switch to a different locale you make the whole phone change its locale, not just Navigon. The point here was to try and change the Navigon's audio language WITHOUT changing the locale.

Solutions, anyone?

This won't help much, but is it normal to have the MMS Settings app show up in the app list? It's been there since I got it a few days ago, and I haven't even dialed ##634#. Also, in the app list, it's titled "Connection Settings", but it identifies itself as MMS Settings in the app itself and has all of the options you mentioned.
[Venue Pro General] notebookgrail:
Yes, with the new FW 212, its bundled as a seperate App with new purchases.
[Venue Pro General] gauravr88:
I dont know if this has been found by anyone yet, but when you press 'protocol' and type in *#6336# it takes you to another menu with three options,

active feature

- seems to contain all the options to control the radio frequencies such as wcdma, gsm, bands, save efs log, and reset all..

when i clicked on 'fixed in bands' it seems to give you an option to check which frequencies you would like to use, theres four boxes with four of the regular gsm frequencies, 850,900,1800,1900, but five different wcdma options, I IMT 2000, II PCS 1900, then IV 1700, V 850, and VIII 900..

TMO

-stands for tmobile, brings up a longer list of other controls and status screens for the radio and other things that deal with tmobile network..

RILDRV Log Capture

- not sure what this one is about but gives you three capture options- capture at function level, capture at info level, and capture at error level, then two buttons that say Capture and unCapture...

curious stuff.. I havent played around with it much yet other than that..

[Venue Pro General] Monkyyy:
Which isn't working in Mango Beta, hopefully works in RTM?
[Venue Pro General] Thunder_47:
Some people have been reporting that it works with Beta 2, and the RTM(?)

Also, with regards to this thread, I know that the DVP has no developer base behind it like the other devices, so I thought that looking into Dell's own app for its phones would help, and as a joint effort we might find a way into the DVP itself.
[Venue Pro General] Thunder_47:
Also, I think some notable DVP-goers (such as notebookgrail and domineus) have already tried this, but what if ths thread could help us, or even work in our favor?
[Venue Pro General] domineus:
the major difficulty in the em.xap is tantamount

primarily the registry editor does work; but it only creates new keys - no modification of keys. Secondly, the interop capabilities has been rendered useless post nodo. So we have a unique situation as far as hacking the dvp
[Venue Pro General] notebookgrail:
Its been there since the DVP started.

The bands stuff is basically writing a flag to a file in the Isolated Storage of the EM App. Once you close the app, its state is gone. It doesn't really change bands in the Hardware as we thought to be.

The TMO options is useful if you are into AT Command. I had played with it a lot..But scary stuff. Its basically taking to the Radio Modem.

RILDRV Log Capture - haven't played with it. But looking at the code doesn't give much info.
[Venue Pro General] Thunder_47:
Curious, why is there a dedicated section to T-Mobile when all of the phones aren't being used with T-Mobile?
[Venue Pro General] notebookgrail:
Originally DVP was a TMO exclusive. May be they just left it there in the FW. I don't have a ATT DVP. Do they have the same TMO menu?
[Venue Pro General] lemonspeakers:
Is there anyway that we can use the EM app to change certain things such as IMEI (illegal) or find a way to bypass the upsell page when using Web2Go or T-Zones?

Basically, I want to use DVP with my grandfathered plan.

I don't believe that dell gave tmobile and att every single DVP IMEI out. There must be a low level security on each device that halts you from using web2go/tzones for working. I am trying to find that solution.

I am on tmobile USA with a grandfatherd web2go plan.

I originally ordered a t-mo DVP and found out it wont work on web2go/tzones.

I then bought the unlocked ATT DVP and unfortunately, it STILL doesnt work on web2go/tzones- knowing that I will only have edge speeds. I returned that device, BTW.

Any tips guys?

One thing I noticed: If the DVP chokes on loading up a webpage (via Low tower signal, etc), it will actually bring up the real webpage- somehow bypassing the upsell page.

But if you have full bars, the signal catches on, and you are redirected/forced to pay for an internet plan before you can use the grandfathered plan on the DVP.
[Venue Pro General] Thunder_47:
I don't think this is possible, the IMEI is hardlined into your phone, changing it (if even possible) would probably cause your phone to be unrecognized by the T Mobile network.
[Venue Pro General] Arcarsenal:
The sad truth with this phone is that there will never be developer support for it like there is for HTC or other devices. Without a way to write to the registry or fix the broken interop service there is simply no way. This is something that the engineers (or their outsourced, contracted employees) at Dell would need to fix. And that won't happen because they won't waste time on an old phone, they'll just launch a new one.
[Venue Pro General] Thunder_47:
No need to be pessimistic now, I'm sure if we all came together and explored all of the options (starting this this native app) we could eventually get to the promised land
[Venue Pro General] raiderfan247365:
I agree. Lets at lest keep open dialogue. You never know who may get there hands on a DVP...
[Venue Pro General] Arcarsenal:
haha, there's a difference between pessimism and reality. Take a look at the code of the unpacked EM.xap. Everything you'd need for your "native app" would be contained in there, including a way to modify the registry since EM and OurCOM.dll is the software layer that interfaces with the hardware at a limited level. There are people much more versed in the technical details of Windows Phone and the actual code of the EM app that can explain the uphill battle you face much better than I can.

But, any real progress needs to come from Dell themselves first, not the community. Their EM app is literally not completed. And, we know how Dell has responded thus far.

Not trying to be rude or anything, that's just how I see things and the situation with Dell.

edit: in an effort to keep people motivated here is a nice write up (part 1 of 3) about what is possible on a Venue Pro with Nodo: http://dennisdel.com/?p=840

keep in mind that things are now different if you're running Mango.
[Venue Pro General] Thunder_47:
The line between realism and pessimism is a fine one. However, much in the way that Dell works, little progress fan be made on our side of the equation. But, that doesn't stop us from improving our phones using the tools that we have. Time spent whining about the things we can't do while the HTC guys are having super fun is time wasted.
[Venue Pro General] notebookgrail:
That's the same code as in the EM app. OurCOM.dll is nothing more than a gateway to the actual Driver DLL's. I did do some decompiling (PE Explorer and IDA tools) of the OurCOM.dll a while back and found that no code actually exists in it. It just invokes the actual Driver dll's which inturn communicates with dll's MS provides with the core OS. Dell themselves, didn't fully bake the EM app. Halfway along they left the development due to MS advising them not to expose the core features (like regedit,etc). I am not that familiar with C, but if someone has strong knowledge, we can try to work out some movement.

Here is some food for thought info to get someone going deep.

There is a file called QEMDriver.dll which is the actual driver file that does the majority of the gateway work in the EM app. Upon inspecting that file in IDA, i found that the core function resides in Coredll.dll (a MS OS file) and ril.dll (MS OS file for modem, calls, etc).

What i also found was(most people knew) if we crack open a way to provision the phone with the proper rights, anything is possible. MS even has article detailing how to provision certain rights,etc OTA. I tried all and failed.

If anyone wants, i can post the files that i referred and links to the provisioning.
[Venue Pro General] Thunder_47:
I have seen all over the windows phone development forum that some HTC drivers work with the DVP, as far as tethering goes, can we extend this to other functions?
[Venue Pro General] notebookgrail:
Tethering uses generic drivers from the windows side to recognize the modem while in Composite mode. The problem is if i use a HTC dll inside DVP, the OS will kick me out as it's not signed by Dell. Worth a shot to try it out. Can you point me to some real HTC driver dll's? (not the tethering one, but from inside the HTC WP7 device).
[Venue Pro General] Thunder_47:
I cannot personally, I was simply stating that the ability to use HTC drivers on a Dell phone exists in the tethering ability, I will ask around the WP7 dev forum to find out.
[Venue Pro General] Thunder_47:

1. Below the options, anywhere?

2. "qwertyuiop" ten keys pressed at the same time or just in order? "q" then "w" each by each.

And mine has 1.10 written on the right hand top corner, does it matter?
[Venue Pro General] Kenji117:
tap the blank space anywhere below the first 3 options given. Then press the top row of keys starting with q ending with p.
[Venue Pro General] Thunder_47:
1.10 is the app revision number. I.E it started out with .25 and then updated sequentially until the current version.

Tap below the first 3 options anywhere in the blank space (as kenji said)

and use the physical keyboard to type the top row qwertyuiop each key at a time

Got it! Many thanks.

After trying some times and realized that mine has a German keyboard which the positions of "y" and "z" are flipped.:p

Has anyone tried the registry editor inside this?

(According to some member's info should be RD -> About RD -> type *#6336#, but I would like to know how to add a registry, as I would like add lang. codes before updating Mango)
[Venue Pro General] Thunder_47:
Many of us have tried to use the registry editor. Apparently it is incomplete, and we cannot edit existing keys or delete keys (not recommended). I don't know about adding keys.
[Venue Pro General] AlexMinsk:
oh, as far as I know, that editor cannot edit but can create new values in registry.

and can delete. Can't we just make editing as a group of delete and create?
[Venue Pro General] henry084:
I have also heard from somewhere, but how does it work? For me, can let me add will do.

But in that registry editor, there is only "get" available after entering the registry data, how can I insert (or also delete, according to yours)? Of course, it is also meaningless if I cannot save it up.
