So, setting up the Ol' Dinc2 to pass on to my wife, and decided to give her the Sense experience. (she's new to Android, and has only used her Kindle, so...)

Wiped everything including the Sd card. Installed the Latest M Rom, 3.0 patch, 5x4 patch, no arrows keyboard and the Better Slate Skin.

After getting everything up and running, I noticed the clock was missing from the home screen, so went into the personalize menu, choose widgets, and to my surprise, there was no clock widget. I've looked everywhere, and it's nowhere to be found. Funny thing is though, the clock app is in the app drawer, just no widget for it.

Anyone have any ideas of where it may have went?? If all else fails, I'll just reflash and start over :cool:
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] nitsuj17:
thats strange, only think i can think is did you flash all the things during one cwr session?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] ericmtnbkr:
Pacer,

Try re-flashing and booting up and setting up before flashing the Sense 3 patch. I had the same problem and that fixed it. Also, 5.0.1 is not a patch, it's a full blown ROM.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] PacerguyDon:
Yup, I flashed everything at once :D

I just reflashed the Rom, and then rebooted. Clock was back on the homescreen.

I Just flashed the 3.0 patch, still have the clock. So ill continue to flash each item individually.

Thanks for the help guys :cool:

Thanks, that did the trick :cool:
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] wierdo124:
Yup, ran it for like a month then did it. No matter, i just nandroid'd back to 2.1 and stuck with that. i only wanted the sense 3 lockscreen.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] elvensbane:
would be nice if the arrow on the better Slate theme was more vertically centered. :( my only compliant :p
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] tennessee_titan:
Tried GPS, no satellites. Was there a fix/patch back there somewhere that I missed?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] andybones:
Have you tried clearing data for HTC Sense?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Jizzylax:
No problems for me with GPS. No patches I'm aware of.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Vsio:
nitsuj17

You can change the Patch Sense 3 Lock screen , as shown in the picture (slightly up)?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] nitsuj17:
never had any issue with gps at all, nor had i seen it brought up previously :confused:

i probably could, yes...but i dont have any real plans to do anything for this rom until ics comes out (granted ill have to rename it then)
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Jizzylax:
ICSandwichBangSense?

IceCreamBangSense?

Some of the potential names could sound rather dirty..... :eek:
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] nitsuj17:
i was probably just gonna start recycling some other names from other tsm roms....since i have/will support multiple devices id like to end up with a standard name for my stock based roms across whatever device

im partial to opensense or evolved....probably evolved will win out since that was only used briefly
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Jizzylax:
^ Whatever the name ends up being doesn't really matter. I just can't wait for the awesomeness.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] ericmtnbkr:
Yes, this.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] haoyong:
Been running this rom for about a month, and am absolutely loving it. Very stable, very fast, very trouble-free.

Anybody tried the battery-life mod that was posted on the main page with this rom (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1621808)?

I don't understand enough about the programming side to know whether or not it would do anything, and didn't want to risk screwing with my current setup (again, running smoothly and trouble-free) if it looked useless...
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Zelmo88:
I haven't tried the battery-life mod, but I get great battery life with this ROM (not a heavy user). If you try it, let us know how it works!! Sounds interesting!
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] TheAtheistReverend:
I also get stellar battery life with this rom (my DD) but I did flash that mod a couple days ago and I can say this much, it didn't hurt any. I think it has helped a little, but I would give it a week or two before I make a final statement. I say give it a try!

As always, make your NAND!

:D
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] andybones:
Dude I would LOVE to figure out how to do this!
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] nitsuj17:
its one of two things (havent looked at all) but its either in framework-res /layout for one of the lockscreen files or in /layout for htclockscreen.apk

and just tweak the padding
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] TheAtheistReverend:
I haven't found this anywhere else in the thread, but I just (finally) updated to the 5.01M and I can't get any of the battery tweaks to take effect :(

I did a full wipe and format (4EXT) and install. Set up the google account and let it settle, rebooted, flashed the inverted pulldown5.0, rebooted, flashed the sense 3 patch, rebooted, installed a bunch of apps from the market (not Titanium), rebooted, and attempted to change the battery tweaks, rebooted, nothing changed. I toggled them back and forth a few times (Hide battery icon and show MIUI bar), rebooted, nothing. BTW I'm using ADWex for my launcher.

Did I eff something up?

Help?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] nitsuj17:
miui battery bar should work by just toggling it on/off

hide battery would be, toggle it to hidden, and then reboot...it should be gone

i had seen any issues related specifically to the inverted pulldown (though if i screwed it up that could explain why its not working)
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] TheAtheistReverend:
:(

Bummer.

If I replace the META-INF folder in your ROM zip with the one Andybones supplied in his stock thread do youo think I would kill it, or might it stop your zip from wiping like it does his?

Your ROM zip does wipe on its own, right?

I like to flash rom zips over my setup in cases like this (so I don't have to start over) to fix stuff that I flashed like the inverted pulldown.

It is more important to me to have the battery bar than the inverted pulldown.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] nitsuj17:
if you want to replace the inverted pulldown, no need to reflash the rom

you could either flash the theme revert zip in the downloads section

or pull SystemUI.apk from /system/app in the rom zip

adb push SystemUI.apk /system/app

and reboot

or you could probably just copy it in with root explorer and reboot as well

but i wouldn't replace the meta folder....the ext4 version has specific commands it in related to that, and the ext3 does as well
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] TheAtheistReverend:
Sweet, I didn't see that. I swear I JUST looked through it too :o

I'm going to try the SystemUI.apk thing you mentioned. I like trying new things :D

Thank you!

EDIT: The RootExplorer method killed the notification bar alltogether. Oops.

I'm just going to go back to my 5.0 backup. I don't really see a huge advantage to 5.01, I had already flashed dres's kernel anyhoo...
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] TheAtheistReverend:
I don't suppose there's any way you could fix the transparent pulldown so it doesn't bork the tweeks, is there?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] nitsuj17:
I'll take a quick look at the file on Monday to see what is wrong with it
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] TheAtheistReverend:
I'll keep my eyes peeled :D
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] HypostaticOnion:
Nitsuj, you're the freaking man. I'm building my own ROM, and I'm gonna use the sense 3.0 lockscreen. I saw that 4.5 allows for sense 2.1 call screen. I LOVE 2.1 screen.

I love your work bro!!

Only issue is it seems that this mod is using a heavily modified rosie. That in a sense that you can't use the personalize button since it's redirected to launchkey I think. Also if you long press, it brings up something about built in keyboard.. not sure what that means. Any insight?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] knipp21:
Needed something other than ics for a bit so I finally flashed your m rom. Love it bro good job!
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Jizzylax:
This has been my DD for months. Stable, quick, and everything works. I'm sure I will use his stock ICS ROM once it's released as well.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] wierdo124:
There's supposed to be a Dinc2 gingerbread update rolling out soon via OTA...any plans to support that? It's passed Verizon testing, just delayed OTA supposedly.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] nitsuj17:
I'll update the stock rom to it most likely

Unless there are amazing.improvements though I won't update the m version cuz it would be a lot.of work
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] dclay89:
On this ROM for the first time, as I have been strictly miui. I'm not a huge fan of sense but damn nits, this is pretty fantastic. All us incredible 2 owners are lucky to have you deving for us.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] knipp21:
Dude I ran strictly miui for 9 months. Only ics. Sabotage. And nit could pull me away.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Travisdroidx2:
If I flash M5 looks like I also need to flash patch 3.0 and do search fix. Apply kernel#21 is there anything else I am missing?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] TheAtheistReverend:
If you flash 5.01 the kernel is already there and the search fix is already applied. You don't NEED to flash the 3.0 unless you want it.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Travisdroidx2:
But will 5.01 change my recovery to ext4? I use the ics 5.5.0.4 I think it is. So patch 3.0 is just a theme?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] TheAtheistReverend:
As I understand it, no. The ROM will not change you recovery, but I think your recovery needs to support ext4 for the rom to flash...:confused:

Maybe.

But the latest version of CWM should work. I read it supports 4ext somewhere.

If you haven't yet, I suggest trying 4EXT recovery. I can promise it works great!
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Travisdroidx2:
Thank you very much. I will probably try this tonight instead of the new cm9 this rom looks very sweet. I got a sense bug after skyraider. Lol I did not see that coming :) will ext4 still work with my old nanoback ups in their current location on my SD card?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] TheAtheistReverend:
Seriously, you're going to be like "how the hell did I survive through a non-touch recovery and any other sense rom besides this one?"

You're going to be soooo happy!!!

:D
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Travisdroidx2:
Will flash 5.01 as soon as I get home. Thanks

Edit: wow awesome work!!! Loving it!
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] dclay89:
What kernel are you guys using to overclock with? Any suggestions?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] nitsuj17:
the ext4 version of m, uses drell's #21...i included no frills o/c app with the rom, but you can use setcpu, incredicontrol, or others
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] du_ku:
hello,

please help me flash Sense 3 Patch v5.0

1. I do full wipe

2. flash GingerBangSense 5.0 "M" or GB Sense M 5.0.1 Ext4 Version w/ Drell's #21 Kernel

3. reboot

4. flash Sense 3 Patch v5.0

5. I see sense 3 start screen and phone immediately go to reboot and looping.

If I do not make step 3 I get android.phone crash every 1-2 second but sense 3 is works.

What I do wrong?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] tincbtrar:
Are you wiping Dalvik and Cache? That should help.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Jizzylax:
Have you formatted your partitions to ext4?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] nitsuj17:
Are you s off or HTC dev unlock
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] du_ku:
yes (I do it before every fw flash), but problem still present.

Manually do not format. How to do it? and why it may help?

yes of course.

cwm v4.0.1.4

You can see this problem

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] nitsuj17:
Only thing I can think of is that its an issue with recovery

Update to newer cwr (link should be in aeroevan cm9 thread) or switch to 4ext which.seems.to be what most of us run
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] du_ku:
flash latest 4ext recovery but problem the same. reboot lopping. :(
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] CondemnedSoul:
I would try redownloading the sense 3 patch and flashing it.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] tincbtrar:
Agreed - bad download. Re DL and try again and let us know.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] du_ku:
I download it again and check md5. Problem do not disappear.

And format partitions to ext4 - problem the same.

Maybe is this problem from I use GSM sim card?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] dclay89:
Anyone know of a way to make volume up work as the shutter button while in the camera app?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] nitsuj17:
The camera.apk andy modded for.Zeus would most.likely.work

But.would.remove the mods I made to camera
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] dclay89:
I can confirm that it works, thanks!
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] wierdo124:
What mods did you make to the camera? I didn't notice anything.

I'm also curious about kernels. I'm not on the ext4 one (what's the difference anyway? I don't know), and am not overclocked because I don't know what kernels play nice with this sense. More complicated than my old Droid where it was AOSP and all the kernels worked.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Travisdroidx2:
I am a big CM7/CM9 fan but tried the M5.01 rom and I have to admit this is my second week using it and loving it! Good battery life and everything works great. I even tried the ext4 for first time its nice but still might go back to the ics version before I go back to ics. But in no rush after using this rom. Great job!!

Only issue I have and I had this issue BEFORE I flashed this is that I can not get the haptic vibrate to work with the keyboard. This happen to me on ICS but on CM7.2 I can adjust the haptic up and make it work. I have not found a way to do that yet on any other rom. It works on 3rd party keyboards but I do not like a 3rd party collecting my data.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] devator22:
You may notice a speed boost with ext4. That's really the only difference. And there is little kernel development for our phone cause there's no complete source. Drell made a custom kernel, it is essentially the only sense kernel we have other than stock. There's also the virtuous kernel, but I've only ever seen it in virtuous roms.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] nitsuj17:
add iso 1250 option to camera settings

longpress on camera screen to take photo
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] elvensbane:
I used this ROM for a while seriously loved it, but I couldn't play Minecraft multiplayer something messed it up :/
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] jameshmiller:
This is most likely not a ROM problem, but I found it a little funny, and though I would share.

Check out the days compared to the dates......lol

I have absolutely no GPS, can't get any satellites. Flashed the agps patch - nothing..

Any suggestions?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] nitsuj17:
does it work on other roms? cuz afaik gps is perfectly functional for most w/ this
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Jizzylax:
^ Agreed. I've never had problems with GPS in this ROM no matter how many times I've flashed it. No need for AGPS patch either.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Travisdroidx2:
I am using M5.01 and GPS is working fine.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] tennessee_titan:
Found the problem. Wouldn't work with my OEM back cover, tried extended OEM back cover same result - nothing. Put the Chinese extended back cover on- 8 satellites in seconds!

I don't know if it the contacts or the cover itself yet....
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] nitsuj17:
thats weird, keep me posted!
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] tennessee_titan:
The contacts for the GPS antenna are right next to the camera. They were completely compressed. I stuck a little screwdriver under them and GENTLY bent them back up. Put the OEM back on and presto - 8 satellites indoors!

I may have caused this myself by experimenting with the cover contacts. I can see a weak design here. I am almost tempted to solder a wire across the contacts in the phone...
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] elmanortega:
i just wanted to stop by and say hi and thanks for all the hard work

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] nitsuj17:
thanks, when we get official (or at least leaked verizon ics) i will update this rom
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] tennessee_titan:
There actually will be a stock ICS for the DINC2???

Does this mean that we will have to go through the agony of a bootloader replacement?

Just did it on my tablet, and it was frustrating.

Noticed on the tablet that ICS ROMs tend to use quite a bit more battery
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] nitsuj17:
We are supposed to get sense 3.6 ics from vzw/htc
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] wierdo124:
Yeah, supposed to be coming by mid-august.

There's also supposed to be an OTA coming before then though. It's approved by Verizon, just OTA is being delayed for some reason.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] seejoshplay:
Just flashed this Rom (m) yesterday... Thanks for the great tweaks, runs great.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] TheAtheistReverend:
Where ya been Josh?

Always glad when I see someone discover this ROM. It has consistantly been my favorite rock solid go-to ROM and DD. I play with others yes, but the combination of functionality, battery life, tweaks and Sense camera keep me coming back to this one.

Many thanks to Nitsuj.

Skype question. Can video calling work with this ROM?

I've read all sorts of conflicting reports online and in these forums about video calling on Skype on the Inc 2 with custom ROM's. I'm using the Play Store app, not the Skype for Verizon app, I have video calling enabled, but I can't seem to get video to work. Can anyone help me out? Is it a Wifi vs 3g issue? Does it require headphones?

Thanks.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Tortuga:
I downloaded the Skype app from the Play Store, and the Incredible2 was supposed to be officially supported for video calling middle of last fall. However, while on MIUI (from July/August until last weekend) I was using a modded Skype apk that worked flawlessly with video. I haven't tried the official app yet on TSM Sense, but have the backup apk just in case.

Can anyone confirm whether Skype video works on this rom?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] KB Smoka:
Loving this ROM so far....First time I've gone back to Sense from CM7. One question....Can you run the CM7 gallery with Sense?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] ericmtnbkr:
Where did you get the modded Skype?

So far I have not been able to get video calling to work.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Tortuga:
Somewhere on XDA I'm sure, though I couldn't say where since it was almost a year ago. You could search for it in the dinc2 themes and apps forum. I found this in one of the posts that may help...

Edit: nevermind, I see that you already have video enabled.

This appears to be an updated version of the one I have: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1148708
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] ericmtnbkr:
When I say I have video calling enabled, I mean that box is checked in Skype settings. However, video calling still does not work.

Thanks for the link!
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Tortuga:
When you say video calling doesn't work, what is happening when you try to initiate one? Do you get a blank screen? Does the Video Call option show up when you select a contact? Can you answer an incoming video call?

Just a couple questions. However, the modded version worked really well for me on MIUI, so well I never bothered to test the market version.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] ericmtnbkr:
Just tried the modded Skype from you link. Video works. No need to mess with the Play Store version. Thanks again, ttupa!
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Tortuga:
That's great, glad to help! I'll run some tests when I get home tonight on the Play Store version and see if I can get video to work. Kind of disappointing if it doesn't, considering our phones are supposed to be on their approved list. Maybe, as you indicated, it has something to do with the modifications in custom roms.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Tortuga:
I tested Skype with the Play Store app to a computer, and video worked well. I was testing over a WiFi connection, if that makes a difference.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] seejoshplay:
oh you know... around the block with CM again. the battery life is really, really good. i forgot how much i like the "disable always on background data" setting. That basically solves all battery issues.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] ericmtnbkr:
Hmm. Maybe Skype on my home PC is a much older version or something. I installed Skype on my work PC when I tested the modded app.

Question: does the HTC task killer do anything? I hit kill all, no memory frees up, refresh and all apps are still there.

Not a bug, does not affect Rom. Just wondering what others experiences are.

yeah it doesnt really work, other than just to show info in the dropdown...sorry
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] seejoshplay:
no sweat - i was just curious. i'll use a 3rd party one for all my task-killin' needs. which are few and far between because this rom rocks.

what governor are people using?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] SR3TLAW:
This looks like a great ROM. I like sense but coming from an AOSP sense(with the widgets I use) takes up all my RAM and system resrouces. Ive always wondered though? If I have a sense based rom and choose a differeny launcher like ADW, GO Launcher etc.. will that help ease my system performance? This build looks flawless with almost no caveats or catches. How does it perform when navigation, streaming music and running text message client at once.

Looking forward to this coming from CM7 RC3

Craig
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Jizzylax:
I run this ROM with ADW launcher. You can debloat the Sense widgets with File Explorer.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] nitsuj17:
honestly, it runs well even with all of sense intact...if you are looking for a version w/o all the sense widgets/laucher you would be better off with this variant: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1255330
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] SR3TLAW:
The sense widgets are what take up all the ram even when not active? I'm liking the way this build is looking though.

Curious thought though. I've flashed alot of roms / mods all on a 16gb card over time and have alot of folders and been using the same apps with titanium for a long while now. Im thibking this affecting my performance..
