Mostly Done :)

Took me 3 RUU's (Froyo replease) to get it not to bootloop (I knew the phone was hosed), installed 3.0.0.8 recovery, installed 7.07 radio, installed McSense v2.0, and spent a few hours (basically since my post) restoring apps through AppBrain with only a few restores through Titanium (maybe 5); set up the shortcuts, set up a bunch of logins, ran HTC Sync, and am now doing a Nandroid backup. Will flash the GPS fix, make a fresh titanium backup, charge it, hope to play with it tonight.

Fingers crossed that this solves all the problems I had with Nils (although there are a BUNCH of things I did which might also affect it, like the triple RUU and the 7.07), but I am sincerely hoping I have found my (last) daily driver ROM.

Will check back ... oh, and one request ... PLEASE make all updates as flashovers instead of wipes :)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] yepitsme19:
Freakin beautiful ROM! Great work! Only thing it needs is haptic on the lockscreen and the on/off animations.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] 00McD00:
That is an impressive flashing process lol I sure hope that it works for you too. And don't worry I have gotten all the big stuff done so any updates *should* be simple flashovers. I am honored you are thinking of this being your last rom, I hope it suits you well. Keep me updated.

Glad you think so, I am pretty happy with it too :) don't hold your breath for either one of those things (I enjoy the haptic feedback off and CRT animations is out of my hands) but I will continue to see what I can do.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] gramenz:
Anyone else getting a force close when trying to enter the mobile networks tab under settings? I noticed this when flashing the official build as well. I flashed the battery percentage mod, quick settings, how fix, and advanced power menu. I noticed it does it on McSense 2.0 after multiple wipes. Can anyone verify? Thanks!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] 00McD00:
Hmm idk why that would be happening, usually that only happens from a DTR being flashed. It shouldn't be on a stock rom. I'm running my new rom right so I can't test. Can someone else please?

I do not get the fc.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] trickster2369:
Mine works fine.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jdmba:
Nice

I am certainly very happy with the move to McSense off of Nils BusinessSense; so that you very much. Personally, I moved back to 7.28 Radio as 7.07 was just awful for me (has nothing to do with this ROM) but I am finding battery to be absolutely horrible (I am on the Kernel in the OP); guess I gotta look into that.

Of the features, the ROM definitely has 99% of what I wanted which is fantastic!!! The only things I really miss from Nils ROM are (1) the touchpad wakeup (with the 2nd touchpad press being unlock), (2) having the right hot button be an internet browser (of my choice) rather than a shortcut generator, and (3) the email shortcut/icon actually having the number of unread emails in the middle of it. Bonus is that my phone freezing during charging problem has been cured!

All in all, very happy here.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] ndcart:
Trackpad wake would be awesome. Not real concerned about the number of unread messages in email app. At least with this version I can select multiple messages for deletion. I do want to tell you how great of a job you did on this rom. Without a doubt, between your rom and the new radio, this is the best my phone has ever been! I would be hard pressed to move to another rom. It would have to be leaps and bounds better than McSense. Just wanted to say thanks for a fantastic rom!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] 00McD00:
If you are having bad battery life you may want to think about trying a wipe of battery stats (google it and you will find many walk-throughs on how to do it properly). A lot of times that can lead to better battery life. I would like to implement track pad wake and am currently looking into it, but don't hold your break lol. As for the launcher, having it remap to a browser of your choice would be extremely difficult, if not impossible with my skill-set. I would probably have to just refer you to LauncherPro to achieve that, sorry. And the mail icon could only show the unread if it was using the Sense version, but I figured the pros of the AOSP email client outweighs the cons of losing the Sense one.

Hope those were okay answer for your questions. Glad it is working good for you.

Well jeez, you're going to make me blush lol such kind words. I'm always happy to hear when people are having good experiences with my roms. I will have to say that these Desire and Sense 3.5 ports and probably going to be pretty amazing, I wouldn't brush them off too quickly.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] godsmacked4653:
I hope McD doesn't mind me interrogating his users a little bit... ;)

Can I ask what Sense widgets you guys all commonly use? Calculators, calendars, friendstream, etc. I'll explain soon. Just need some feedback for a "project." :D
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jdmba:
McD ... Check with Nils to see how he got track pad wake to work. Maybe it will work here too!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] 00McD00:
Of course not, go right ahead sir lol new "projects" are always welcome.

Thanks for the tip, I have been looking at a couple of different resources.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Futur Innovations:
Are there any kernel options for this rom?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] lord90:
hi, I'm new in android rooting and modding.... read on general section that this rom is one of recommendation for stable rom.... want to try.... hopefully it's much better than the stock one....
[Droid Incredible Android Development] lord90:
I need some help here...

currently using stock rom version 4.06.605.3

baseband 2.15.10.07.07

I can enter recovery mode,but when I choose update from sd card... it's shows invalid command and then restart the phone....

anybody can help with my problem ? so I can update to this rom....

thanks
[Droid Incredible Android Development] trickster2369:
You need to choose the option to install a zip from sd card, then choose zip from sd card.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] 00McD00:
Yeah Tiny's kernel should work just fine (as reported). Don't think it causes any wifi issues on this one. Make a backup before flashing just in case.

Beat me to it lol yup after wiping everything you choose install from sdcard, not update. Then you navigate to where ever you put the .zip and install it. Once it's done just reboot and you should be good to go.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] lord90:
wow a blazing fast response :-)

Unfortunately in recovery mode there is only 4 options:

reboot phone

apply update from SD Card

Wipe data/factory reset

Wipe Cache partition

So when I choose apply update from SD Card it's show invalid operation and then the phone reboot.....

there isn't any option for install from SD Card...

or do I need to install any application first ?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] 00McD00:
That is...odd, don't know why that would be. Do you happen to know which version of recovery you are using? And you are using clockwork (from rom manager) recovery also right?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] lord90:
It's version 3e and I don't use clockwork.when it's froyo version I can explore the SD card using update from SD card option but now can't.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] 00McD00:
Well that could be your problem. I don't have any experience with 3e, but it might not be GingerBread compatible or something. I would recommend going with clockwork 3.0.0.7 (if you have AMOLED screen) and 3.0.0.8 (if you have SLCD).
[Droid Incredible Android Development] RamAir02:
Download ROM Manager from the Market. Flash the latest Clockworkmod Recovery (I believe its 5.0.2.0). Reboot into Recovery. Go to install zip from sd card. Go to choose zip from sd card. Find your ROM and flash.

Always remember to wipe data, cache, and dalvik at the minimum.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] lord90:
thank you all for your help....... so now for first step I must root my Inc first..... from looking around the suggested method is using unrevoked tools because currently there isn't any one click method like in froyo...... then I need to flash clockwork recovery...

i'll update later on result..... thanks...
[Droid Incredible Android Development] 00McD00:
Yes...rooting your phone would be an important first step in flashing this rom lol. And unrevoked is basically 1-click, it's super easy. Also, use unrevoked3, not forever (just my opinion). Good luck.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] lord90:
okay... new problem :-( download unrevoked3 install modified usb driver... put the phone on charge only.... usb debugging is on... but unrevoked give error message "Is your firmware too new?"

looking around have tried these :

1.charge only change to disk drive

2. do factory reset

nothing happened.... any suggestion ?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] lord90:
apparently after searching around looks like I'm stuck for now.... because I don't have s-off mode when I upgrade to latest gingerbread rom.... until somebody find a way to break the latest GB, I can't play with other rom............ :-(

any solution is very welcome................
[Droid Incredible Android Development] hgoldner:
The danger in NOT running Unrevoked Forever is that an OTA update can remove root and you'll have no way to get it back. This is what happened to several folks who flashed the .02 Gingerbread leak with S-ON and now cannot re-root their Incredibles.

And a question for you folks running this ROM. Do you have working TV Out?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] 00McD00:
Pretty sure unrevoked3 is the one that turns S-off?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jermaine151:
Nope.

Unrevoked forever radio S-OFF/S-ON tool

http://unrevoked.com/rootwiki/doku.php/public/forever
[Droid Incredible Android Development] 00McD00:
But I used 3 and I have S-off? Because I think (it's been a long time since I did this) that it gives you the option of keeping S-on or turning it off. My understanding is that Unrevoked3 basically includes Unrevoked forever.

Hmm it's been so long since I did it I must have forgotten, thought for sure I used 3. But could be wrong.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jermaine151:
You must've used forever too. Unrevoked 3 just roots the phone and flashes custom recovery.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Delacombo:
Awesome

I installed this over the incubus stock version and it's running great! Love the fact the new email app, etc, is in this one!

Thanks!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] 00McD00:
No problem, glad you are enjoying it so far. Hope everything keeps running good for you and let me know if you have any problems/inputs.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jayochs:
hey, is it me, or are there no weather animations on this rom? i can't even find where to turn them on....

plus i haven't used sense 1 since january :X lol
[Droid Incredible Android Development] 00McD00:
Umm...I'm pretty sure that Sense 1.0 doesn't have weather animations, but weather is always the first thing I delete (I use weather bug so no need) so I can't be sure. Fairly certain it is as it is supposed to be though.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jayochs:
what? no, when i had this thing running stock when i first bought the phone, it def had weather animations..and that was stock sense 1.0 on android 2.1...even my Eris had weather animations lol
[Droid Incredible Android Development] 00McD00:
Hmm, well I just looked in the rom that I used for a base and I didn't see anything in there that isn't in here which would remove the animations (they are usually in the media folder). Can anyone else weigh in on this?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jayochs:
thats super weird...wonder if we could get the sense 3.0 weather app working in this rom? would that do it?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] 00McD00:
Yeah I wish I could help you out, but I honestly can't remember if it is supposed to have them or not. Like I said, I really don't remember removing anything that would have to do with that. I tried to keep this as stock as possible.

Um, back-porting is an ugly and difficult process. One that is pretty far above my level of expertise lol I will take a gander into it though.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jayochs:
haha nice...

so btw, i don't get it. my free memory on this things around like 100ish....which isn't up that much from running a sense 2.1/3.0 mix which would be between 70 and 95 megs free.....and sense 2/3 took up LOTS more memory.

i rememebr running sense 1 and always having around 170mb free, and i thought THAT was low. is gingerbread really THAT much of a memory hog compared to froyo or eclair?

also, under wallpapers, idk if anyone mentioned it, but there's like 6 wallpapers to choose, but theres selections for A BUNCH of blank ones..and if you click it and hit apply, ti says "phone storage is full"
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jayochs:
oh and hey, heres a pic from my pre-root days when i ran the stock sense 1 inc on 2.1 (date says aug 19, its from 2010, before i got froyo)..took the pic in ADB

notice the pic of the clouds sweeping by
[Droid Incredible Android Development] 00McD00:
Yeah I feel like something is hogging your memory, I almost always get at least 150mb unless my phone has been running for a long time or I have a lot of apps open. Do you reboot every so often? Yes, I removed all the wallpapers except those in an effort to conserve space (figure most people have their own collection anyways), but when you remove the wallpapers their selection box stays, so that's what's up with that.

Oooh those animations lol I was thinking of the sense 3.0 video ones when you open the weather app. Yes you are definitely, supposed to have those. You didn't accidentally check them to off did you? Idk what I could have possibly done to remove those.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] ChuckFarley:
Hey McD! Just flashed your rom and set up my phone the way I like it and I'm digging it so far. Works great and coming from a non-ginger rom before, I can really tell the difference when loading the apps.

One question, though. I noticed you removed the stock sense email app. Am I the only one who prefers the sense client for email? I really like how you're able to define the frequency and hours of operation; and I think the cut and paste is better than any other client. I'm guessing you did this to keep the rom size down? Just curious.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jayochs:
hey Mc, i just had an idea..so i removed the widget itself, and re-added it..when you do that, you can check "turn weather animations on"...well, it was already checked..so i unchecked then checked again, and they're still not showing up :\ i really like those, as silly as it sounds haha

and right now, i'm idling at 108mb. ive got maybe 34 apps installed. but yeah, is gingerbread really that much of a hog compared to froyo?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] 00McD00:
Happy to hear that you are enjoying it so far, always makes me feel good. Yes I did replace the sense email client with the AOSP one, but the reason is because I love the ability to multiselect in the AOSP one plus I just like it's functionality better. I have attached the stock sense one if you would like to replace it. Navigate to system>app using a program such as root explorer, delete "email.apk" and add this one, set permissions to following, and reboot:

+,+,-

+,-,-

+,-,-

Let me know how it goes.

I'm really sorry man, idk what to tell you. Can anyone else weigh in on what I might have done to break this lol? I really don't know and I would like to fix it. Hmm that's odd, mine is almost always higher than that and I have like 50 apps installed.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] packerjd04:
Flashed the ROM for the first time this past hour and while I am trying to go back to some stock sense again the biggest problem I have is the launcher not being able to change how many home screens there are. I have no need for 7 home screens and was just wondering if there is anyway we can get around this with the sense launcher?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] ChuckFarley:
Fair enough. I'll give it a shot before I make any changes to the experience you've put together here.

I'm new to this thread, but I'm really impressed by how quickly you've responded to everyone's questions and requests. Kudos for being awesome! And at the risk of sounding like a noodge after saying that, I have a request of my own:

I don't recall the exact term for the option in CM7, but it's part of the alert option where it played the alert over any audio you were listening to, instead of stopping the music. I always thought that was a nice option, but I've never seen it on a sense rom, or any other for that matter. Is it possible?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] 00McD00:
Not with Sense 1.0 launcher, sorry.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jayochs:
hey mc, so i love most of the stuff you did with the rom, but i'm honestly not a fan of the lockscreen slate thing lol..any idea how to flash the stock sense 1 lockscreen on here with the arch thingy? :)

also, i just reflashed the rom...still no weather animations :\
[Droid Incredible Android Development] packerjd04:
That's what I thought I just didn't know if it could be modified. Thanks though.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] ChuckFarley:
We're all hopelessly addicted, so you're not alone. No biggie on the alert option, I just always thought it was a nice touch and wondered why it wasn't incorporated more.

Funny you should mention Ihtfp69, I just left SkyRaider for yours. Nothing wrong with SR, I just started getting the OTA nag update and figured I'd try something new and luckily came across your rom. Thanks again.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] 00McD00:
Yeah no problem, take THIS zip and flash via recovery (wipe dalvik first, as usual). Now I am straight up telling you, make a backup before you flash this. This is not just flashing some regular system app, this is replacing the com.htc.resources.apk which is a pretty heavy hitter in the rom significance world...and I haven't had the best luck making flashable zips haha so ya. But if it works it will give you the original pngs back for the lockscreen. Let me know how it goes if you decide to use it.

I am also currently looking into the weather animations thing. I will let you know what I find out.

Yeah sorry and you are right, it would be sick to implement some CM7 settings (the one I miss the most is the ability to disable the lockscreen and just go straight to the pattern lock).

Well I am honored, leaving SR for my lowly rom is impressive lol I hope it at least lives up a little. Thanks.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jayochs:
hey mc! awesome! that file worked! i'd def post that in the OP under mods if i were you :D
[Droid Incredible Android Development] 00McD00:
Whew *wipes sweat from forehead* glad to hear that lol didn't break anything else right? I will add it to the mods, thanks for testing it out. Good man.

Edit: added to third post.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jayochs:
hey...so another annoying thkng i see...everytime i reset my phone, my wallpaper reverts to a very low quality version of itself. i use a .bmp of the stock incredible wallpaper and whenever i reset the phone, it loads a very low quality version of it..you can see the reds bleeding through etc, it looks like a highly compressed jpeg image. any ideas why? it's so annoying lol
[Droid Incredible Android Development] 00McD00:
Hmm, odd. Is that just with the default wallpaper or with every one that you try? Not sure why that would be happening.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jayochs:
every one. i set them in es file manager because if u use stock gallery to set it, it makes it that low quality image. i use es to keep the quality up. however, every time i reset it, it goes to the crappy quality version. i've never had this happen before...ugh
[Droid Incredible Android Development] 00McD00:
Was this happening before you flashed the lockscreen mod? Is anyone else experiencing this?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jeffgman:
Actually the latest version of Unrevoked 3 does both, roots the phone and gives you S-OFF. You don't have to run Unrevoked Forever anymore.

Jeff
[Droid Incredible Android Development] 00McD00:
That is also what I thought. They were combined into one and Forever is just kind of sentimental now.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jayochs:
yeah it happened before i flashed it. i think it's because that everytime you reboot the phone, the STOCK wallpaper (whcih is teh wallpaper thats in the pic of your sample pics on this thread) shows up..and tehn it goes to your actual wallpaper..i think each time you boot the phone, it's setting your wallpaper. i think it's setting it via the htc gallery on this, because when i set it with gallery, its the same distorted, compressy image, hence why i set it in ES file manager because it sets it at full original quality.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] packerjd04:
Have been running the rom all night and have been constantly using the phone setting things up and talking football and everything has been flawless. Really smooth so far and no reboots.

Incredible
[Droid Incredible Android Development] godsmacked4653:
Have you tried setting a wallpaper that isn't in a .bmp format? All my wallpapers are pngs or jpgs. I'm not sure if that would help solve the problem, but it's worth a shot. (I think I remember this problem coming up somewhere not too long ago.)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jayochs:
good thinking..bc i've actually got a jpg and bmp version....

wait actually, i just tried this. i took the JPG version, adn i put it in the system file to replace one of the stock wallpapers....and it still reverted to that ugly compressed file :( i could take screenshots to show you guys what i mean with the compression.

ok first, look at the second one. notice how vivid and sharp the reds are, and how the black outlining is nice and sharp?

now look at the first one. it's compressed. it's blurrier, the lines are blurry and the reds bleed out. it's much more distinct on my phone than my monitor (since the AMOLED screen looks nicer than my 6 year old LCD monitor!) but yeah, this was after a fresh reboot.

UGH DAMNIT! stupid XDA compressed BOTH images so they both look like crap. hold on

http://db.tt/12HwnQv

http://db.tt/WG3AKSV

i give the F up. now for some reason, they're super high contrast. however, this mightn help me illustrate my point. lookm at the second link, look in the black..hardly any pixels right? now look at the first pic and look in the black..see how pixely that is? thats because the first pic is the background thats compressed to all hell.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] ljmunz:
I've got 59 apps installed and showing 232mb free ram in settings/apps/services

Perhaps you have a misbehaving app?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jayochs:
mine shows 223...i was going by free memory in system panel...theres always more in the android one, and idk why the discrepency hmm :\
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jayochs:
so i mean wow...idk if it was because i didn't use my phone as much as normal or because this rom has amazing battery life but yesterday i had like 51% left at like 12.5 hours...then i just sat in bed for like 40 min straight reading rage comics, google talking, and facebooking and it dropped to 20%..so i mean damn, usually i hit like 6% when i do that and have to plug it in...the battery life seems to rock on this one!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] 00McD00:
Haha very glad to hear that and other people reported pretty good battery life as well. Hope you got some of your other issues figured out (wallpaper is really a mystery to me).
