awesome work
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] nitsuj17:
those should work fine, they just install to system (but im pretty sure theres more than enough room in there with this rom)
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] HypostaticOnion:
Yo nit. Is there any way you could instead of making a bloated and debloated, make then both bloated (since its easily removed) and make an odexed and deodexed version?? Especially since you're not doing the themes anymore, the deodexed isn't as necessary. Plus, I've noticed odexed ROMs seem to run a lot smoother. I'm currently on Mikrunny odexed, and I've found that its smoother than any other deodexed ROM I've used.

Plus, I'm really wanting a super reliable stock ROM other than andyBONESTOCK.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] elmanortega:
ill wait for you cause you are the master mind here

thanks again

i do see how wonderful this m rom is
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] nitsuj17:
i stopped making debloated versions anyway (too many roms as it is)

i guess i could re odex the rom (i didnt keep the original odex system pull) for the heck of it

personally im in the deodex camp as far as the odex/deodex thing...probably a reflection of having started in the samsung world where releasing an odex rom is almost sacrilege (or at the very least extremely rare :o)....but i dont get all bent out of shape like some do...just for me its 10x easier to mod deodexed roms so its the first thing i do
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] nitsuj17:
i checked, its fine
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] elmanortega:
it dint work

after installing using cwm no change im gonna reinstall the rom

flash the gapps

boot then install patch

ill be right back
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] HypostaticOnion:
It definitely is easier to mod as long as you're not messing with smali files and stuff. From what I understand there's really no reason to deodex if you know what you're doing. You can theme odexed ROMs, as we have several themes for mikrunny odexed, but you just gotta be careful of what you're doing in the smali files and stuff like that.

Sent from my Mikrunny'd Superphone using magic
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] elmanortega:
nope

dint work either

installed rom fresh

installed gapps from cm7

reboot but no go houston

ill wait for you
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] nitsuj17:
you dont have market access to download them?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] RegnierD:
To the person wanting G-Apps:

Just install them all from the Market, silly. ;)

Open up your Market and search this

"pub:Google Inc."

(Minus the quotation marks, but include the period after Inc).

That's a list of all of Google's apps on the Market. It's much simpler to do it that way. Flashing a G-Apps package for AOSP over a Sense rom is not a good idea. The differences in the two will cause a mess in your system and you'll need to flash the rom again.

Hope that's helpful!
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] nitsuj17:
yeah you can mod odex fine, but i just like using apktool and being able to deal with the whole apk rather than res w/ apktool and backsmali/smali for smali files

tis quicker/easier for me personally

but to each their own :o
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] nitsuj17:
flashing gapps from aosp is/should be fine as it doesnt do anything except install those apps to /system/app

(script doesnt format system or do anything wacky)

it just a necessary evil for cm/aosp as part of the google deal back in fall 2009
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] RegnierD:
Plus, most rooted users have TiBu, and there's an option to integrate the system Dalvik cache. It will odex/deodex for you, though I'm not sure if it will work starting with an odexed rom. I use it frequently. :)
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] HypostaticOnion:
So, you're saying I can take this ROM and odex it using a script or something?? I'm afraid I'm not following.

And all I'm saying is, I prefer odexed if I can get it. If not, its fine. Lol I love what you do nit.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] nitsuj17:
idk about tibu doing odex/deodex (never looked) but there are scripts that can odex a deodexed rom for you...just involves using scriptmanager or w/e

idk though if it full odexes the system or just certain parts
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] HypostaticOnion:
Hmmmmmm sounds like I'd need a computer for that. Which, I don't have... Dang I need to get one.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] nitsuj17:
nope supposedly can be done on the phone....i think tommytomatoe from the evo4g did it or something (i came across it at some point and i think it was him) could start looking through his started threads
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] HypostaticOnion:
True. I like the guys over at mik too. I mean, I've learned a lot since talking to them. That's where I learned about all the odex/deodex stuff
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] jbarcus81:
Thanks nitsuj17 for making my phone feel sexy again!! She's been kinda depressed lately about getting fat and old... But you have lifted her from the pits of hell!! THANKS!!

/Seriously.. Thanks!!
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] elmanortega:
nothing comes out

i do have access to market but you cant download google maps from it

if you type maps you will get all kind of apps but no google maps, none of the gapps can be downloaded if you dont have them is there a way that you can tell me to get them.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] thenaut:
I've never had a problem finding "Google maps". Use that in the search, BTW. It doesn't matter as I found the app searching "maps" as well, but give it a try anyway.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] nitsuj17:
version 4.5 of "m" should be out tomorrow

features:

good old sense 2.1

crt on/off

vzw operator tab removed from rosie

debloated

extra quick settings (ihtfp's source ones)

tweaks!

-3 lockscreens (sense 2.1, stock android, honeycomb)

-hide/center/regular clock

-hide alarm icon

-enable/disable wake on volume keys

-hide/show battery icon

-miui battery bar

-cm style batt%

-dbm percentage in stat bar (hide signal doesnt work though)

-enable/disable recent app bar

-enable/disable crt

bugs:

about phone-software info force closes (havent really figured out why but it only affects that)

-havent modded rosie at all (for launchkey) probably wont until the next release after, we ll see
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] HypostaticOnion:
Wow this sounds like a heavily modified. More so than I've seen in a 2.1 ROM before.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] nitsuj17:
yeah, ive gotten pretty comfortable with roman's mods after spending hundreds of hours of digging through them to fix them up on ports that i started trying to implement them in our stock rom

most systemui is pretty straightforward, and the lockscreens were surprisingly easy

unfortunately i havent found any comparable modded sense 2.1 rosie's to work off of for pulling mods as the methods that roman/rcteam/etc etc use rely on things that only exist in sense 3 and 3.5 rosie...and im not smart enough to rewrite the mods from scratch :p

but its been nice working with the stock rom for more than 20 minutes at a time
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] HypostaticOnion:
What kind of Rosie mods would there be other than remapping, and matrix and transparency settings?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] AliceBToklas:
Un-freaking-believable! Take your time. Really looking forward to seeing the results of your hard work.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Jizzylax:
Agh! I flash back and both between the M and the S ROM so much! Damn you for having two great ROMs. I can't pick one.

Actually, three great ROMs (Trinity gets flashed every three days or so).
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] nitsuj17:
Transparency and app drawer are the tough ones to make work with tweaks
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] bberryhill0:
Looking forward to M 4.5.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] elmanortega:
can you add gapps to that one

ill donate for it

thanks for your work

i will take a video about what i was talking about

i had an accident and i cut my feet pretty bad i cant move much but ill get it tomorrow
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] AliceBToklas:
Ouch. Take care of yourself and get better soon. Hopefully your phone can keep you occupied a bit while you are convalescing and take your mind off your feet. Otherwise, listen to you doctor (or, in my case, spousal unit).
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] elmanortega:
thanks a lot man

yes i will work on my device

here are the screen shots

i type google maps

or

So sounds like it's not a good idea.

yes, should work (im in the process of updating it though)

yeah thats simple enough, just swapping apks, ill try and get a patch up today
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] nitsuj17:
plans:

for "m" version

-hopefully get some more tweaks working

-fix autobrightness

-fix about phone fc

-id like to get skip tracks with volume keys when screen is off mod working, but for some reason our policy doesnt want to work the edits from other phones (although the methods are 99.9% identical meh)

-fixes as they arise

-at the least for rosie (if i cant get tweaks working for it) remap to launchkey

-remap clear button

-more quick settings

sense 3 patch

-update it

-fix missing lockscreen clock issue

-revert its rosie to non transparent and 4 columns (many seem to prefer this)

relevant patches for latest rom(s) m and s versions

(remove debugging etc)

Lol.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] chuck solid:
do you know if andybones' inverted pulldown will still work with M4.5?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] elmanortega:
please help me with the gapps
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] nitsuj17:
no it would revert all the systemui mods

which specific ones do you need? i saw someone had posted maps for you

all gapps are in version 4.5 of "m" and "s" you could pull them from /data/app in the rom zip and push them with adb or copy in with root explorer to your current setup

:)
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] elmanortega:
ok thank im gonna install the new version right away if all gapps are there its gonna be perfect.

you dont have to update the gapps all the time with a new rom cause we can do that

you are doing an amazing work

i have no idea why here in costa rica when you type google maps it wont show

well lets see this new rom
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] ericmtnbkr:
Questions about kernals from a relative noob.

What kernal does the stock ROM use? I assume since it's a stock ROM it uses the stock kernal. Can anyone suggest a different kernal to use with this ROM? I've heard drellisdee's kernals are good. Also, when flashing a kernal do you do it after you flash the ROM, and does flashing fernal wipe your data?

Thanks.

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] AliceBToklas:
Now that I have installed the latest 'M' all I can say is to repeat my earlier comment - un-freaking-believable!

As always, I look forward to the improvements you already have in the pipeline and thank you so much for your hard work. You have brought the most needed (wanted? - your mileage may vary) mods from other ROMS into the stock world.

For anyone coming from the earlier 'M' - I had to do a full wipe. WiFi was acting up until I did that. Afterwards it's all been rock solid (admittedly only a short time yet but given the history I expect it to continue).
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] nitsuj17:
yup, stock roms as of 5.10.605.9 seem to now mimic ports in that even flashing similar versions over each other results in wifi being borked

ive poured through logcats and nothing of use really shows up that i can personally fix other than to say wipe data :o
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] elmanortega:
amazing rom

i cant access software information

don't know why
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] AliceBToklas:
NP, just wanted to warn others who, like me, might try the shortest route. In any event, a good wipe can only be good for you. It's a very small price to pay.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] slacka-vt:
Confirm same issue -FC when going to "About Phone > Software Information.

Full Wipe

EDIT: In bug report, my bad.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] HypostaticOnion:
That's in the bug report. About phone doesn't work for some reason.

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] HypostaticOnion:
Lol yeah, I wouldn't be too worried about setting what version of Android is on it hahah
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] nitsuj17:
it has to do with how i hacked in the tweaks shortcut in settings....its surprisingly difficult

on our samsung fascinate roms to put tsm parts or spare parts in its literally a 1 line comment in an xml file

on htc phones (since it lacks a settings.xml file for layout) its about 25-30 smali comments across 4 files...and since roman originally modded settings for mod version (additional info shown in about phone) i pulled in the code but didnt adapt it right for our particular stock settings

its not gonna be a huge thing to fix, but i did it so long ago (relatively speaking 3 weeks ago) that ill just redo it from scratch rather than hack it up to try and fix
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] david_hume:
When will the mirror site for the sense 3 patch be made? Because the current one went bad...
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] bberryhill0:
4.5 M seems faster than Andybonestock but it's probably just the fresh install.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] slacka-vt:
It does seem amazingly peppy. Maybe it's just the fact it's debloated, zip-aligned, etc? I used the stock kernel for a bit then made a backup and installed drellisdee's #21. Not sure if I notice any difference but I like the ability to OC and UV.

Nitsuj, your wallpapers are fantastic! So many great ones to choose from.

Any one looking for a sweet Sense 2.1 skin, I'm using the MikMik's "Flat Black HTC Sense 2.1 Skin" found in the market: http://goo.gl/UAZ9E Well worth all 99 pennies. One caveat, the flat, transparent rosie breaks the ability to remap the "personalize" button (from what I can tell, it's now disabled in "Tweaks").
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] nitsuj17:
Nope that option wasn't present in 4.5...so the skin didnt break anything :)

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] tennessee_titan:
Flashed m with 3.0 sense. All is well except the FC on Phone Info previously noted, and the lock screen widget with the HTC chrono has no selections available behind it.

Also notice that there are a bunch of apps I can't delete. Using SystemAppRemover or Astro..
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] nitsuj17:
Any HTC apps or widgets need either a root file explorer or adb to remove
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Jizzylax:
Download ES File Explorer from Market... make sure in settings root is enabled. You can then delete anything you want.

heres the sense 3 patch, virtually same as version 3.5.2 except i removed sense 3 incoming call from it as that jar has been updated in the latest "M" rom and would cause issues (when 4.6 of m goes out ill re add it)

*same issue with clocklockscreen as before (ie no clocks available) for whatever reason pull the apk from /system/app in the zip and reinstalling it or pushing it with adb seems to fix it...idk why it doesnt off the flash, maybe permissions are wrong idk

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Letitride:
Excellent job well done on the latest V4.5 "M" verison - been on the solid & stable SR's Zeus 1.3 Sense since it was released back in November and decided to flash some of the newer Roms - this is just as good with newest OTA incorporated.

Did a full cache/dalvik/system wipe before flashing and once it settled down after initial setup, etc. - it's running nicely and no FC'd except the "About Phone - software" as others noted, not a big deal at all and I get Quadrant score of around 1500. Got the #21 kernel flashed after doing a CWM backup just in case, and all is good now - Quadrant score improved to close to 1600, excellent for what I'm looking for - and I maintain access to the GSM radio/Sim slots as needed, and doing the *228 OTA update for the PRL is good. Using AntTek App Manager/Root Explorer to delete & freeze unused, non-system critical apps remaining on this ROM to keep it as lean as possible.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] nitsuj17:
and....fixed settings - about phone force close for 4.6 :p
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] MotorcycleMike:
Is the fix a patch or do we reflash ROM?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] tennessee_titan:
Successfully got the clocks back using Root Explorer. ES File Manager never would get root access right for me.

Also was able to delete most of the unwanted apps using Root Explorer once I figured out how to use it.

Thanks to those of you who suggested this...

Still can't delete Latitude. Can't find it in Root Explorer to delete.

Only a day into this, and the ROM seems quite heavy on battery usage. Anyone else?

Is this up somewhere yet? Or to come in 4.6?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] thenaut:
I'm not sure if this has been mentioned but on the M version the search key doesn't do anything. everything else seems great.

it uses the stock kernel, so nothing should be different than normal (unless you were using an uv kernel or something before)

to come in 4.6

yeah i left out google search, just download it from market (ill put it in 4.6)
