jdloach, i'm downloading now and i'm going to set out to change some things before I even flash. I always end up removing a bunch of stuff you leave in, so i'll be taking that out from the getgo. also will be removing the clock from the taskbar and adding the transparent notification. probably also integrating bootscoot2 into the rom to flash with my bootanimation already and whatever else I think of.

not promising anything, but i'll see about a logo for the rom. i can work things in photoshop, but it's really difficult to visualize things at first for me :o
[HTC EVO 3D] jdeloach:
Sounds great!!!!
[HTC EVO 3D] dodava:
I see that the HTC News didn't make it back in. I have added the apk's for the app and the widget to /system/app, changed ownership, and permissions to match the other apps and the app shows up and the widget shows as installed but I can't get it to appear on the list of widgets for me to select from. Do you know if there is an additional step needed to get the widget to show up when using the the Personalize menu?
[HTC EVO 3D] Rippley05:
Still plan on making a flashable nascar app

?
[HTC EVO 3D] Max_Pain:
so, I spent about two hours editing the rom before flashing. removed about 30+ apps, removed them from cert and manifest, added a couple of adds and updated cert and manifest. made a bunch of other changes. wiped cache and dalvik and wiped. it finished booting and right when the leds turn on before the lockscreen comes on, it gets stuck there. so i figured it was my work that messed it up.

I did a complete wiped, restored my nandroid from right before doing the above. now this time flashed the stock rom as downloaded from this thread. same thing. this time i gets stuck right when the LEDs turn on, but instead of getting stuck on my boot animation it's getting stuck on the stock one.

what am i doing wrong? i thought I could flash over previous version?

BTW, working on a shogun droid logo...like i said, no promises. but working on it.
[HTC EVO 3D] jdeloach:
Here you go:

NASCAR APP

**It takes you to the Market to update the app when you first click the icon after flashing. It only works on 3G/4G....?? I guess that's normal?
[HTC EVO 3D] Max_Pain:
here is my attempt at a sort of shogun logo. probably the best I can do. took a good 2+ hours and like always i'm not 100% satisfied with the result but oh well, i'm not as talented as other people.

feel free to use whichever one you like, or none of them at all.

P.S., i still haven't gotten it to work on my phone :-(
[HTC EVO 3D] jdeloach:
Try flashing this after wiping Cache & Dalvik:

News App & Widget
[HTC EVO 3D] jdeloach:
Max,

Those are incredible!!!

Have you tried a full wipe? I know you don't want to have to do that, but I'm curious.
[HTC EVO 3D] Max_Pain:
making a backup with TB right now and I will try a full wipe + flash.
[HTC EVO 3D] Max_Pain:
full wipe + flash worked. just got to restore everything now:)
[HTC EVO 3D] jdeloach:
Upgraded rom in OP to v2.3...LOL It includes an awesome Transparent Notification Background (thanks to kushdeck). The framework wasn't touched, so you should be able to flash on top of v2.2 with a cache & dalvik wipe. (This is the way that I installed on my phone)

I really wasn't 100% pleased with v2.2, so I had to do this.
[HTC EVO 3D] Max_Pain:
ahhhh!!!

downloading again.

EDIT: dude can you find out what could possibly cause this? I got stuck at the same point I did last night. now after flashing 2.3 over 2.2 with cache and dalvik cache wipe.

that's ridiculous!

so I have to wipe/flash and then it works. but flashing over a 1-day old version doesnt work...that's what I loved about this rom! there's got to be something i'm doing after I restore my apps or something no?
[HTC EVO 3D] jdeloach:
Hmmmm....has to be something to do with restore.

PM me exactly what apps and stuff your restoring, and another step by step. I'm gonna do exactly what you are doing and see what I can find out for you.
[HTC EVO 3D] dteze88:
I also tried to flash 2.3 on top of 2.2 and it got stuck at the black android screen. :confused: No biggie, 2.2 is great but I want that clear notification drop bar!! :D
[HTC EVO 3D] jdeloach:
Here is a screenie of the notification transparency
[HTC EVO 3D] Max_Pain:
I'm up and running just great. The new notification window is amazing...almost everything is in there.

Let's see how well it runs throughout the day.

Sent from my HTC Evo 3D on the MetroPCS 1x network...
[HTC EVO 3D] jdeloach:
Glad you like it. I messed with the background color for 2hours before decided on that....so hope you guys like.
[HTC EVO 3D] Max_Pain:
got to run now, but when I get back home i'm uploading a customized systemui.apk with the shogun rom logo in the drop down;)

looks rather nice if i say so myself.
[HTC EVO 3D] Rippley05:
I'm gonna try to flash 2.3 over 2.1 .. don't wanna wipe lol
[HTC EVO 3D] Max_Pain:
here is my modified notification background.

download that and put into SystemUI.apk/res/drawable-hdpi or download this copy of SystemUI.apk (this is exactly the same as in Shogun v.2.3 with only the above image added): http://www.keepitfishy.com/evo3d/shogun/SystemUI.zip (NOT FLASHABLE)

can anyone tell me how to take a screenshot on my phone? shoot me doesn't show up in the browser and DDMS keeps disconnecting so I can't use it to take the pic.:confused:
[HTC EVO 3D] westona:
can you please make an all white flashable that will work with v2.3. I mean overscroll, Icons, white honeycomb bat, with clock and crt anim.

I have been trying for hours to figure out how to combine the .zips but have no luck. better than doing it for me, do you have any advice on putting together zips, or know where there is a good instructional?
[HTC EVO 3D] jdeloach:
I will get started on it right away for you.
[HTC EVO 3D] jdeloach:
Looks great Max!!

To take screenies: press power button and hit home button while holding power. You should hear a shutter sound, and it will be saved on SDcard
[HTC EVO 3D] jdeloach:
Try this:

White Stuff for Shogun Rom

Do you use Windows or Linux?
[HTC EVO 3D] westona:
whoa. that was fast. thank you. Im set up to dual boot. I have spent the last few hours looking through various zips and roms just trying to get a feel. I replaced a few things. But now I dont know how to turn the framework-res folder back into a .apk
[HTC EVO 3D] jdeloach:
The good thing about Linux, is you don't have to unzip the apks just to open and change pngs. It will automatically update. As long as you are just replacing a png with a png (like color changes, etc) it is just copy and paste.
[HTC EVO 3D] westona:
Do they have to be resigned to be put back in? then I will have to resign the original zip too right?
[HTC EVO 3D] alnzbail:
Nice ROM like the status bar but I like the quick settings a little bit more. Nice work tho
[HTC EVO 3D] jdeloach:
No they don't have to be resigned.
[HTC EVO 3D] Rippley05:
Has anyone successfully went from 2.1 to 2.3 without a full wipe?
[HTC EVO 3D] ttieder:
I tried to flash the no crt animation and when it reboots my lockscreen is gone and my signal bars are lower then the usually are but my speeds are about the same
[HTC EVO 3D] alnzbail:
You welcome you think u might add those back? Would like to run this rom for a few days I like the themed out look

.... e3Dvo ....
[HTC EVO 3D] jdeloach:
Probably not possible. I actually changed quite a bit under the hood between those versions.
[HTC EVO 3D] jdeloach:
Sorry, I meant to remove everything in post #2 until I get them all redone for v2.3.

I'll get you a "Remove CRT" posted ASAP.

***Edit: SteelH has a remove crt zip posted in his SteelROM thread. It should work since this is built on his v2.02 Rom.***
[HTC EVO 3D] Rippley05:
This post says you can flash 2.2 over 2.1 .. I just figured you could with 2.3 since no framework changes...it's cool tho.

I'll check it out soon
[HTC EVO 3D] jdeloach:
Yea....sorry. I changed it again before I put the link up. That was when I left several things out and couldn't get it to run smooth. I really didn't like v2.2....LOL
[HTC EVO 3D] ttieder:
Thank you
[HTC EVO 3D] jdeloach:
You're welcome
[HTC EVO 3D] ttieder:
Any reason for the single bar issue mine is only showing 3 bars when I usually have full bars where I.am at
[HTC EVO 3D] jdeloach:
Hmmm..I thought I read somewhere that sprint was having some network issues, but I may be wrong. Maybe someone else could shed more light on the topic.
[HTC EVO 3D] jdeloach:
Just added Max_Pain's awesome notification background in post #2. Just wipe cache and dalvik then flash......and enjoy!
[HTC EVO 3D] jstn76rs:
Looks nice.
[HTC EVO 3D] jdeloach:
Ok...Ok...Dont hate me, but I am uploading v2.4...LOL

Before you say, "What the _______?" I am going to leave v2.3 in the OP as well. The new version has the newest OTA App update. It seems to be just a couple apps affected, but many claim that it does improve 4G speeds. (I can't tell you if thats true or not :() I also included Max_Pain's custom Shogun background for the Notifications Pull-Down and changed the default file explorer to Astro instead of ES Explorer.

***If you decide to try v2.4,

PLEASE do a complete wipe!

I would think that, because of the official update, it would be best.

***It probably won't be posted in the OP until morning because of my freakin' slow upload speeds.
[HTC EVO 3D] Max_Pain:
whaaaattttt?????

EDIT: by the way, I flashed the MattedBlues fontpack from the Evo 4G and it looks amazing. much better now for the clock font and pretty much every text used throughout the OS looks much better and crisper. together with the Slate skin, it's like having MattedBlues on the Evo 3D...just missing the status bar icons!
[HTC EVO 3D] jdeloach:
Sounds nice. I am gonna check it out.
[HTC EVO 3D] jdeloach:
Shogun v2.4 is posted in OP.

:D
[HTC EVO 3D] alnzbail:
Does the status bar have the quick links

.... e3Dvo ....
[HTC EVO 3D] jdeloach:
You talking about "Quick Settings"?

If so, it does. You just click the top of the pulldown where it says "quick Settings"

It's just not on bottom anymore.
[HTC EVO 3D] alnzbail:
Lol ya quick settings I like the full unlocked quick settings

[THEME] MattedBlues - RELEASED FOR CM7 THEME ENGINE *4/26/11*
[HTC Sensation] piratashitzu:
Hi everyone,

sorry for a noob question.

I have a HTC HD2 running an android rom (Typhonn), and tomorrow, i'm going to buy a new HTC, the Htc Sensation. The store says it is a HTC Sensation 4G (T-MObile version).

I have been reading a lot of stuff about, but untill now i'm still unable to distinguish a 4G model from other sensation ( i don't know how it used to be named - maybe vanilla whatelse).

Is there a specific serial number or a simple test or any sign or place in settings or configurations i can go to confirm if it is the genuine 4G model?

Once again, sorry for my bad english, for my noob question, and thanks in advance for your attention.

p.s. yes, i've already googled for it, but find lots of confusing pictures and reviews.
[HTC Sensation] mrg02d:
Youll probably see the T-Mobile logo on it somewhere near the top front of the screen. Also, if this is any sort of reputable dealer, they ought know what they have.

Matt
[HTC Sensation] idavid_:
Easy, the unbranded one has HTC logo in the middle, and 4G version has HTC logo on the left and T-mobile logo on the right (below the top speaker)

Swyped from my HTC Sensation
[HTC Sensation] Rod3:
As both are HSPA+ capable, they are both "4G."
[HTC Sensation] piratashitzu:
Thank you guys. But i've already read about 4G distributted by canadian Bell, then this 4G model comes with a Bell logo in the upper right instead of T-Mobile logo?

Thank you Rod3, so the only difference is the T-Mobile (or Bell) logo in the right side, just below speaker? Because there are some sites talking sensation is 3G dual band, and 4G is 3G triband. This all based on this comparation.

http://www.gsmarena.com/compare.php3?idPhone1=3922&idPhone2=3875

look at both 3G network line, 4G additional 1700 Mhz capable. This is right?

Maybe it has a sign in the battery like HTC HD2. Can u tell me if your sensatio battery has the model of phone type printed?

Once again thanks.
[HTC Sensation] idavid_:
I've never seen a Bell version, but I think it looks the same as unbranded

Edit: I just found pics of Bell version, and yes, it looks the same as unbranded

Swyped from my HTC Sensation
[HTC Sensation] newter55:
You are correct. Just the HTC logo under the speaker.
[HTC Sensation] piratashitzu:
Done.

T-Mobile 4g model bought.

Everything is ok. Actualy no real difference from sensation unbranded (technical specs), just only the T-Mo logo.

Thanks you all.

See you on Sensations subforum.

p.s. Time to read a lot about starting rooting, s-off , mods, roms and other things about this beauty.
[HTC Sensation] moto211:
There is a difference that is more than cosmetic and that as you already mentioned is the data bands. Where are you and what bands does your provider use for 3G/4G data?
[HTC Sensation] idavid_:
Bands are the same on both

Swyped from my HTC Sensation
[HTC Sensation] moto211:
Really? They might be the same on the tmo and the bell mobility versions but the OP didn't mention bell mobility. And I could be mistaken, but doesn't the tmo version have different bands then say the unbranded european version?
[HTC Sensation] newter55:
Bell and tmobile are different bands.

The bell version has support for 850/1900 wcdma.
[HTC Sensation] nornore:
Sorry to raise this again, but, really? I bought a T-Mobile unlocked Sensation 4G, and on the website I bought it from (newaci.com) the UMTS bands were listed as 900, 1700, 2100. The box, however, had the following on it - 1700, 2100, 1900 (in that order). Now I am using this beauty on Wind Mobile, with is UMTS 1700, so that's fine, but what I'd like to ascertain is whether my phone will work AS 3G (that's crucial) on Bell or Rogers (they both use UMTS 1900 as 3G band).

I don't even know how I can check it. I have a Bell SIM, but as I ported my number, it is no longer able to log on to Bell network (and the plan that came with it didn't have data anyway). HOWEVER, when I put this Bell SIM card into the phone and ask it to search for WCDMA-only networks, it _does_ detect Bell network. But again, as my SIM is not registered at Bell anymore, I cannot register and so I cannot check properly.

Thanks for clarifying in advance.

EDIT: I just checked newayci.com, and it used to be listed on newayci.com as 900-1700-2100 two weeks ago, but now they've corrected the specs to 1900-1700-2100. _However_, again, in the carrier chart them guys claim that the phone, as far as mobile internet browsing is concerned, will only work as 2G on Rogers, and that it won't work on Bell at all - which doesn't add up at all, if UMTS 1900 band is really in the phone (for both Bell and Rogers use it for 3G).
[HTC Sensation] idavid_:
I meant that Sensation 4G and unbranded Sensation have the same bands. The Bell version has different bands from both

[Thunderbolt Accessories] voxigenboy:
i bought that Motorola Rapid Car charger recent and have been using it about a week now. i've noticed that it doesn't seem to charge my Thunderbolt any faster then it did when i was using the Thunderbolt's USB cable with this USB car charger adapter.

so, my question is, why is it called "rapid" if it doesn't charge any faster?

and i suppose secondly, is there an actual microUSB charger that will charge the Thunderbolt faster?

they make one for the iphone that will fully charge it in 30 minutes so i know they are out there.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] mike.s:
Maybe you should try this one.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] worwig:
Install the battery monitor widget. Monitor the battery for about 20 minutes while charging. Tell us what the charge current is.

Does the Motorola charger include a cable? If not, you may just have a weak cable. I have seen cheap cables with wire so thin that the charging current is no better then charging off a weak USB port.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] loonatik78:
My experience has been that the phone typically recognizes car charges as USB charging and uses a different charging profile. My solution to that is use a wall charger through an inverter or a kernel that doesn't use radically different charging profiles for A/C and USB.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] worwig:
No need for that.

Cut a small piece of aluminum foil. Carefully place it where it shorts the two center conductors in the charger. Plug the USB cable into the charger. Make sure the foil stays in place over the two center conductors.

It is now a high rate charger. (assuming it can put out 1 amp.)
[Thunderbolt Accessories] squeakyl:
The limiting factor is typically the usb cable itself. Most usb cables can't support the 1amp that is provided to it. Since you used the original usb cable that came with the thunderbolt (that's been "shorted" as mentioned above" ) it will be just as fast as the moto car charger. the 1amp charging rate that the moto charger charges at (i have one) and that the original one charges at are already "rapid". if you plugged a normal usb cable from somewhere else into the other usb car charger, it'd be much much slower
[Thunderbolt Accessories] doodlebro:
The stock charger is what shorts the connections. The cable is NOT shorted on the two inner pins because they are the data connections used for connecting your phone to a computer.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] mike.s:
To meet the USB charging spec (which the TB uses), the two inner (data) contacts should be shorted with no more that 200 ohms.

But, the cable can also be an issue for rapid charging. The voltage drop for a 1A/5V source, across only .5 M of 28 gauge copper is ~220 mV. If you use a longer cable, there's more voltage drop. The TB likely current limits itself when the voltage drops below a certain threshold. Best to buy 24 gauge USB cables, if you can, especially if getting longer ones (monoprice has them).
[Thunderbolt Accessories] KidJoe:
I think its a matter of rated output current. BUT on the other side, the phone must be capable of drawing/using that much current. If the adapter is rated for more current than the phone can charge, the "extra" current wont be supplied.

Initially, Moto's standard car chargers output 5V and up to 550ma max (just like a standard PC USB port) so they didn't charge phones all that fast. Moto then came out with chargers that had higher current output, so they were capable of charging the phones "faster" than the original car chargers (but on par with the home/travel/AC chargers) and called them "rapid car chargers"..

Today, the current output on the Moto SPN5400A car charger is 0-950mA, and I've seen it sometimes referred to as "Rapid Car charger."

But as far as I know, Moto no longer makes/sells the lower current car chargers, and their web site only shows one MicroUSB and one MiniUSB car charger for sale, both of which appear to be of the 0-950mA output variety.

Just because someone makes such a charger for the iPhone, doesn't mean one must exist for the TB, or other phones, does it? I know the iPad uses a 2A charger. What happens if you connect an iPhone to that? will it charge faster? I guess that depends on if the iPhone is capable of drawing more than 1A to charge it.

I've not seen a "home" or AC charger that can charge the TB any faster than the Stock 1A charger. Does such a thing exist?

A proper car charger with 950mA to 1A output should charge the TB at almost exactly the same rate as the stock 1A wall/AC charger.

And btw, the Moto SPN5400A car charger DOES charge my TB in about the same amount of time that it takes me to charge my TB at home with the stock HTC charger. So while its not "rapid" compared to the stock home/travel/AC charger, its "rapid" compared to PC USB Port charging, or a plain lower current car charger.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] worwig:
I made a charger for my motorcycle. I use it as a GPS, screen on MAX, phone active with marginal signal. And I wanted to actually charge the battery at the same time. I did a lot of experimenting with the Thunderbolt. It would not exceed a pull of about 850ma from the supply, even at 5.5 volts. IMHO, you are wasting time looking for any charger over 1 amp.

Also, even with about 850ma in, not much over 500ma is getting to the battery. So a totally dead battery is still going to take between 2 and 3 hours to charge, no matter what charger you have. And twice that long if the charger looks like a PC USB port.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] KidJoe:
I was asking because of the OP's statement about knowing "they must exist" because they are out there for the iPhone.

I'm perfectly happy with my Moto car charger, and how fast it charges my phones.

Just what the title says.

Why the heck is my Music app using so much power? Is it Voodoo Sound tweaks? The phone shouldn't be spiking CPU-wise while the screen is off; I'm using the smartass governor which is not supposed to let the CPU spike when the screen is off.

Also music app was running 1/3 of the time reporting data to the cloud. Looks alright especially since you got no other huge battery hogs.
