S3n5uouS

Okay soo I've finally updated to sense 3.5. Just wanted to get this out as soon as possible considering its been a while since my last update. The Rom is about 250mb zipped and it actually is a lot cleaner than the last version of the ROM. I was able to make this one more stable and take out almost double the widgets. 3.5 adds about 20 useless widgets on top of the old ones. I also worked on getting HTC weather working in this build since a couple of users asked about it.

I HATE the stock weird notification bar/icons so I have themed them to look more AOSP, just like you would find on any other non-sense Android phone. All in all, it really gives the ROM a clean, sense, feel to it. Rom is super stable and will give you more juice than the stock 2.3.5 ROM.

Anyways lets get to the details:

Features

- AOSP like notification bar

- Stock Rosie/3d swypes

- AOSP browser added for speed

- AOSP desk clock added for speed

- MIUI music app added for efficiency

- Updated HTC Camera/Camcorder

- kept other HTC widgets including calendar, clock, messaging

- themed quick settings

- better sound

- based of the 2.3.5 base

- multilanguage
​

What's Removed

- HTC Music

- Friendstream

- Stream player

- HTC Watch movie

- random HTC widgets

- world clock

- HTC's stupid facebook/twitter apps

- connected media

- Weather animations

- ALL TMOUS Apps

- ALL voice dialers

- my HTC

- sketcher

- polaris

- browser

- greader
​

Thanks to:

- HTC for the awesome phone

- EddyOS for porting the 2.3.5 ROM

[HTC Sensation] 808prettyboy808:
Very nice!!Will give this a try soon..:)Thanks for your hard work..Is there any chance you will upgrade to 2.3.5?
[HTC Sensation] tspx23:
I will update to 2.3.5 soon just waiting for a more stable base, so far it's just based off a chineese leak. and alright cool! :)
[HTC Sensation] 92drls:
Hell yea this is looking promising, I've been on the prowl for a lighter sense ROM, just not too light. You've removed everything I would have and nothing more. By removing the HTC Facebook app the contacts pictures may not sync so I might miss that but whatev.. I can figure out how to add it back in if needed.

Any issues you know of yet? Either way its downloading as we speak ;)
[HTC Sensation] dnguyen1988:
Facebook app will allow the pics to sync :D and yea im super stoked about this thanks so much i cant wait to try it.
[HTC Sensation] superas:
nice release thank you for your efforts but can you add an apk or flashable zip file for who wants to take back the weather animations. :)
[HTC Sensation] teshxx:
Removed WiFi calling as well?
[HTC Sensation] nerlim:
Specifies that only in English and Spanish !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :-(
[HTC Sensation] tspx23:
Unfortunately it will take me forever to create a ROM with the weather stuff built in, it's not as simple as just providing the zip lol. I tried making 20 different versions of the ROM to try to get the weather animations/stock app working with the modified framework to get the AOSP notification bar and other tweaks--it never worked. Instead I made sure to just get the HTC weather clock working since that's a major feature most people want.

If you want I can release an unmodified gingerbread ROM with the same htc things removed. The weather animations would work in this case, but you wouldn't get the AOSP notification bar/some of the other tweaks in the ROM.
[HTC Sensation] bigbadmoshe:
htc apps etc

i love the fact that the rom has allot of bloat removed, my question Is how much of an Impact does friendstream etc. really have on the phone.

I love the fact that all htc apps tie into each other. IE in people you can see all the recent messages facebook and twitter info. if things are removed will it effect that? :confused:

and what about 4g icon and advanced power menu? can they be added pretty please.
[HTC Sensation] tspx23:
I will update on Sunday with more tweaks and will start adding flashable zips for the htc/tmobile programs people want just post it in the comments and I'll get to it!
[HTC Sensation] tspx23:
There have been ROMS without friendstream in the past, it just wouldn't show up if its not included.

As for the 4g icon I can probably get to that quicker than the advanced power menu. (if the advanced power menu requires additional framework, it would take me a while)

Also people please let me know if I should change to the stock HTC look vs the AOSP kind of notification bar/tweaks.
[HTC Sensation] bigbadmoshe:
sorry i know about the roms working fine i am asking because you said it impact the performance of the phone do you have any idea how much i keep a close eye on my phone and have never seen those apps doing anything bad.

with regards to theme i like the aosp could you make it in blue?

and include superuser 3 beta 4 :rolleyes:
[HTC Sensation] tspx23:
Good idea about the blue, I might do that if I change the launcher style/change the entire theme to a blue rather than the HTC green.

As for the performance.... well friendstream would always be running in the background so I'm sure you would have performance better than not having it. For example people are getting way better battery life/more free RAM with the Senseless Roms on here just because it removes all of the HTC components. Likewise with this ROM, I can say I'm definitely getting better battery life right now though.
[HTC Sensation] chrisizzle492:
Love the Rom completely what I have been waiting for. I would prefer it to stay green but its up to you. I have a bug in the music player where I can't go into settings.

Do you have an apk for stock sense player. I like to be able to control the music from my lockscreen.

This is now my daily driver till miui is perfect. Sorry lol. I got u for now.
[HTC Sensation] tspx23:
Posted the Music zip and wifi zips in the ad-ons.

Update for v1.1 coming soon.
[HTC Sensation] superas:
Thank you for your kindly answer, I will give it a try. :)
[HTC Sensation] smakked:
Awesome work mate , what i have been looking for. Cant believe not many are grabbing this, Sense has so much crap most will never use in it.
[HTC Sensation] tspx23:
thanks man!

And idk no one wants sense anymore now that CM7/AOSP dropped! I had it on my phone for a while but the camera is so weak compared to sense ROMs. I need to update my other ROM will probably release in a week or so.
[HTC Sensation] Elchemist:
Excellent Rom tspx23, thanks for all the hard work.

I'm always looking for more RAM to spend on my own apps/widgets :)

A few things I've noticed. I am unable to change ringtones to mp3 files stored on my microSD.

Before I installed ES File Explorer, the ringtone selector would FC once I clicked on the New Ringtone button.

After, clicking on the button loads ES, I go through and make my selection, it brings me back to the ringtone selection screen but nothing has changed. Its almost as if I hit the back button.

The music app FC anytime I try to access settings.

The clock app FC anytime I try to access dock settings.

Eagerly awaiting 1.2 :D
[HTC Sensation] tspx23:
I have heard about the music/clock app f/c for settings. That's why I included the HTC Music zip.

As for the ringtone... that is really weird. Is it fc when you try selecting it from the htc menu screen or from the settings menu? I'll get to it soon.
[HTC Sensation] xboarder56:
hey man feel free to use my aosp/cm7 hybrid if you want :D build it any way you want
[HTC Sensation] |Melvin|:
I love how you are and ive told you this lots of times. You encourege me more to be more open source.. ;);)
[HTC Sensation] tspx23:
haha thanks man i appreciate it. just don't know if I could do a better job--yours and trips are def the best builds out right now...
[HTC Sensation] rockmaster:
I'm going to try this coz I love AOSP looks. Btw, does it support all asia APNs?

And I have to say I prefer green instead of blue, but could you make quick settings icons dark green as the background is white so it's so bright.....

Anw, it's up to you to keep or change the theme, but again it would be nice if you keep green and make it dark green. :D
[HTC Sensation] Elchemist:
It doesn't matter where I start from, as it loads the existing list of ringtones normally. The FC only happens when I click on the New Ringtone button.

However, with ES Explorer installed it launches that instead of FC'ing.

Thanks.
[HTC Sensation] tspx23:
weird... so with the es explorer ringtone is NOT fc? but without the es explorer it is?

ODD. will test it out, i remembered encountering this in an old build but I fixed it in 1.0 I'll see what I did different for it to go back...

As for the theme it will stay green :)
[HTC Sensation] |Melvin|:
Just in case. Did you by any chance removed "HtcSoundSetDownloadManager.apk"? if yes then add it back, thats the link for setting new ringtones.
[HTC Sensation] xboarder56:
Open is the way to go helps everyone :)
[HTC Sensation] Six6Sicks:
I'm sorry but was coming up with an original rom name too hard for you?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1211868
[HTC Sensation] tspx23:
O woops my bad I was going to name of superlite and I noticed that was taken didn't know this was either!
[HTC Sensation] Elchemist:
How about the SAS ROM? For Slim Aosp Sense?

OK there probably should be periods between the letters but stupid swift x refuses to put them anywhere but at the end of the word. LOL
[HTC Sensation] tspx23:
nope it's still in there. I need to figure this out this is bothering me lol update coming this weekend for sure

maybe will change the name too but for now it shall be sensuous
[HTC Sensation] doctorlirio:
Just a silly thing... I believe point 3.5 is missing: flash the ROM???? :p
[HTC Sensation] tspx23:
hahah good call. fixed it!

As for the ringtone problem.... idk there is no problem I can't recreate what's described on my sensation, everything seems to be working even with es file explorer installed - Just do a full wipe and re install?
[HTC Sensation] Six6Sicks:
It happens. I was just being a brat.
[HTC Sensation] Elchemist:
Did a reinstall and it fixed the fc ringtone issue. Now with es explorer installed in actually get asked which program I want to use next. However picking/using es explorer still doesn't 'apply' the ringtone once selected.

On a totally different note, does using mods like the typhancey or the faux123 kernel increase the ram usage on the phone?

In terms of the mods I am not referring to the skin only option but rather the full mod which requires a flash from clockwork?

Thanks again
[HTC Sensation] tspx23:
don't select the rington via es file explorer--I don't think that would work. and you should be able to flash faux would make it faster since it overclocks. the ram wouldn't be affected.

as for installing the thyparancy mod go ahead, but you will lose the tweaks in the ROM.

I'm trying to update to XE, running into some errors though don't know when next release will be :/
[HTC Sensation] Elchemist:
Well the HTC Raiders 4g got announced with sense 3.5 scaled to the proper res so hopefully we will see a leak soon.
[HTC Sensation] Gregory.u317:
So how is this rom with gps navigation, is it on point... And what force closes
[HTC Sensation] tspx23:
yes everything is stock untouched so there is no issues w/ the hardware.

As for the FC.... there shouldn't be any FC if you wipe and install v1.1
[HTC Sensation] Elchemist:
Hey tspx23,

On a future release could you add in sdcard unmount and airplane mode toggle to the notification screen?

Also maybe an option to have no recent app list.

Thanks in advance
[HTC Sensation] Elchemist:
Things have been pretty quite on the thread for a while, any updates to speak of tspx23?
[HTC Sensation] dancingtortoise:
How do I apply the music add-on? Tried flashing it and didnt work. Tried un zipping and installing the apks. It says app not installed.
[HTC Sensation] tspx23:
It won't work when you just install the apks you need to flash it... it worked for me.

I'll be updating to 3.5 today I made the ROM a while ago just haven't had time to edit it all the way.
[HTC Sensation] Elchemist:
Awesome hope it doesn't need a full wipe way too many games going :-D
[HTC Sensation] tspx23:
unfortunately it will def require a wipe its a completely different base!

btw... anyone know how to fix an error code 110 when accessing the market? can't seem to fix it... other than that rom is super fast will be working on some other tweaks and try to fix the market issue.
[HTC Sensation] tspx23:
UPDATED!!!!

new rom is sick let me know if you guys like it will get to the ad-ons later
[HTC Sensation] Elchemist:
Awesome, downloading now. Thanks alot tspx23
[HTC Sensation] Elchemist:
So I have been using this ROM for almost two weeks now and its been very good. No random reboots, very fast, battery life is the same and after initial installation there was more free memory than the older version.

Two things i've noticed.

First thing is the notification area needs some work. The tabs are neither hidden/stealthed nor are they normal. On mine they have a semi transparent grey box over it.

Second, now I'm not sure if this is ROM related or not but I notice that the phone seems to stutter. I don't really have a better way to describe it. Basically the device is unresponsive for a second or two. This is pretty random,across didn't apps. Tested the same programs in old version of ROM and it doesn't happen. Again not sure what is the cause, but its annoying so I thought I'd share the info.

Next two questions. Which radio package should I flash along with this ROM?

And what dimension should the wallpapers be? The ones already installed work fine but anything from the gallery gets stretched and distorted.

One last thing could you please make the voice feature an addon? I really wanted to try the conversation mode on the new translate but can't:-(
[HTC Sensation] tspx23:
Thanks for the info man!

I actually had an update ready for the camera issues.... but my computer crapped out on me (probably cuz it only has a 1.4ghz processor nd I run it way too hard lol). Anyways... Once I can go back home I'll run an update to this one it should fix any "lags" as well as the camera issue. Stock radio should be fine.

I am currently working on an ICS theme so this isn't really my number 1 right now.

I updated the post to point out what it really does as an advantage, but mainly thats useful for unlocked BL phones ;) Keep your fingers crossed that something also is found to make fastboot flashing large files useful to you!
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drinkmixer84:
So I've seen this question in other forums but just not here on Galaxy 10.1 Tab Forums yet. Here's the deal...

If possible what app can I use to backup my homescreen settings (I've spent a lot of time on one recently)? I have Titanium Backup, but will that do the trick for this? Should I look at a different backup utility such as SGS?

Thanks as always for the help guys!
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drinkmixer84:
I take it no one has had success backing up their homescreen yet?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EvoXOhio:
Your homescreen is the Launcher2.apk app. Backing it up via Titanium Backup will backup the current layout and how you have everything set up.

HOWEVER, due to an Android limitation, it will not backup any widget placement/settings you have. There is no way around that unfortunately.

Your best bet is to make a nandroid backup via CWM and then restore that if need be. Of course that would be a complete restoration of everything but it's the only way to back it all up.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ccapasso:
Don't know of any way to do this. I know with Launcher Pro you can backup screens and settings, but widgets are never saved.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JMMusic:
I love my Nook Color! It is an excellent tablet, that can run almost anything.

But I have to download most of the stuff from the Amazon Appstore on my phone, back it up, then copy it over to the Nook and install it manually. I always get the app of the day (whether I want it or not, I figure I may someday and just don't install it). So I have more than a hundred apps available on my phone when I open Amazon Appstore. On my Nook I have 17.

I have successfully installed many of the apps that I cannot see in the Amazon Appstore on my Nook, and they work perfectly. I used to be able to see everything in the Amazon Appstore and then a while back they added some sort of device check that is causing this.

How might I get around that device check? The phone-to-nook shuffle is a pain. It apparently isn't working off build.prop like the Google Market does.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] inportb:
Hm, I have 40~ish apps visible to both my Nook and my G1, and none that only one could see but not the other.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Skunkeye:
I think it does go off the build.prop - but only the first time you connect with the device. It stores the information for future accesses. So modify your build.prop, then go into your Amazon account from a web browser and click on "Your Apps and Devices". Deregister the device, then run the Amazon Appstore from your Nook (with the phony build.prop). It should re-authenticate with Amazon and register as whatever device your build.prop says it is. It worked for me, anyway.

I find this development a little disturbing, though. Amazon is clearly just trying to freeze out a competitor. They didn't have a problem letting me buy apps for my Nook until they got close to releasing their own e-reader tablet, and suddenly none of the apps that are installed and working on my Nook are deemed "incompatible" on the App Store. I've bought a couple apps through Amazon (and have a good number of the free "apps of the day"), but I certainly won't ever buy another one from them. Sure, I can work around it with this little trick, but I shouldn't have to resort to trickery to get around their bad business practices.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JMMusic:
Beautiful. Worked like a charm. I went from 19 apps available to 122. Many thanks. :)
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doncaruana:
So what build prop info did you use?
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Skunkeye:
I used this:

ro.product.model=Nexus S

ro.product.manufacturer=Samsung
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobstro:
I'm not so convinced it's a nefarious plot by Amazon in their Apps store, nor Google in their Market as I am that I've hacked something in a non-standard and not fully understood way and broken something. I'm seeing the same 61 Apps (on the All tab) on my Nook Color running CM 7 as on my Droid 2 phone. If I go flash a new ROM, it all breaks again. That's ME, though, not them.

I'm enjoying the Free App of the Day enough not to take this out on Amazon.

All I've done is set density to 160 and cleared data.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Skunkeye:
There's little doubt in my mind that Amazon is restricting apps on Nooks. They're getting ready to launch their own device, so it makes sense to try to reduce the value of a competing product. It's good business sense, but it shows very little respect for the customer.

I hadn't changed anything in months on my Nook, and one day it was suddenly "incompatible" with most apps on the Amazon market. Changing nothing but the product name in build.prop and re-registering the device makes it all work again, and if I change it back to the Barnes & Noble information, suddenly my apps are incompatible again. Sure seems like Amazon is filtering for "Nook" in the app store.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Homer_S_xda:
Are we certain this is a plot by Amazon or is this a response to the same type of "feature" recently implemented on the Google App Store?

Homer
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Skunkeye:
It's not the same LCD density issue as the Google Market. I tested that. I registered the Nook as both a Nexus S and the default Nook Color settings in build.prop, at various screen densities, and no matter what the density is, if Amazon thinks it's a Nexus, it shows all my apps. No matter what the density is, I get about 75% of my apps not showing up when it's registered as a Nook Color.

It really appears to me that Amazon's App Store is looking for "Nook" or "Barnes & Noble" or something in the product model at registration. There might be another explanation, but I can't think of one. Especially with Amazon getting set to launch a direct competitor to the Nook Color...
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobstro:
Care to list a few of the apps you're having trouble with? If it's a plot, they shouldn't work for any Nook, right? This should be an easy test.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SeaFractor:
Never had a problem with any of the apps I wanted.

Just got the app of the day today without trouble too for example.

Guess the conspiracy is not yet fully in force.

Wait... I purchased some books with the Kindle app on my Nook. Perhaps they gave me a good comrade status.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobo12:
I'm running Stock 1.3 rooted and I have had AppStore since 1.1 rooted. I just bought ThumbKeyboard and followed the directions on the preceding page to modify my build.prop because it wasn't showing. Now Amazon's website tells me it's incompatible with my "Samsung Nexus S" (Nook Color). Any ideas?
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tightwad:
Isn't it possible they are simply trying not to give noob customers apps that may freeze their device...like say a nook that doesn't have a back button? It may not be some diabolical scheme to drive people away from the Nook Color simply because they HAVE to have the App of the day.....
