Oh wow, just got flamed at the ICS thread. It's making reading very tedious. Haha! Oh well...

Anyway, Chez, I tend to delete certain system apps upon installation of ROM but I kept getting bootloops lately.

Is there a certain .apk that shouldn't be removed?
[Desire HD Android Development] Chezbel:
Yeah, I saw that since it is one of the threads I read. Don't worry about it.

I guess I sound like a broken record today because all my answers are the same, "I never do that so I don't know". The point is I make very few if any mods after I flash. For one thing it is less work, for another just because you don't use something doesn't mean it needs to be or should be deleted. It may take up a little space, but this phone isn't short on space.
[Desire HD Android Development] TUN_SD:
maybe you can use titanium or app extractor the next time, to freeze at first the apps, and look, if they are needed.
[Desire HD Android Development] Wiingy:
Excellent, never knew this feature existed in CM. I liked it with AOKP ICS.
[Desire HD Android Development] WManzo123:
Ok well I figured out why hold to kill wasn't working. It had to do with v6 supercharger script and how it manages tasks and such. I took the script off because I like being able to manage my own applications versus letting the script do it for me. Just though I'd post this up in case others had the same issue.

Market Fix!!!

NVMND turns out it was only a temporary placebo

Read below
[Desire HD Android Development] maatsby:
I can almost guarantee you that if you leave it like this for a while, and then change build.prop back to 240 and clear market data again some apps will magically appear needing updates. I don't think there is a universal fix to the market problem, market was born to run at 240 on this device
[Desire HD Android Development] Chezbel:
That "solution" doesn't make any sense.

Maybe it has a temporary benefit, but in the long run it's more work for someone because of the manual steps. Posting that is probably going to cause more questions in this thread when it doesn't work.

We already have a solution that makes it very simple for people and there are still questions because people won't read or search first.

Amazing Rom, Ive tried the major ones and even the less frequented as well.

I know this isn't the right place to post this but wondering if anyone has replaced there volume rocker before? If they have can they pm me please. Mine came off today :( I just ordered a replacement and am wondering if I can just push it in place or not.
[Desire HD Android Development] Chezbel:
Try here, I haven't read that whole thread so I'm not sure if there is any useful result.
[Desire HD Android Development] Lazarus65:
I am so in love with this ROM. Everything works. Only thing I miss is the ICS lockscreen. I couldn't find anything that will let me replace the lockscreen. Is there a way to install a different lockscreen, or use an app that does it for me? Especially one for the zeam launcher. Thanks.

Reality hits you hard, bro...
[Desire HD Android Development] WManzo123:
You can always replace the launcher with the ice cream sandwich launcher. That should help you
[Desire HD Android Development] mehms:
You can try Widgetlocker which requires you to pay. Otherwise, you can try the GOlocker.

Personally, I'm using both GO Launcher and GO Locker.
[Desire HD Android Development] alienmind:
For a while i managed to semi-fix my volume rocker by inserting a tiny plastic piece between the rocker and the phone itself. That way the rocker triggered properly. In the end, I had to send my broken screen to be fixed to a pro, that - by the way - fixed the rocker.

My advice: don't mess with the device and a screwdriver unless you really know what are you doing.
[Desire HD Android Development] Chezbel:
There is a new nightly (see Post #1) with some CM7 changes.

This also includes my own change that is not yet submitted to CM7, which enhances the Custom Carrier Text, which you enter at

Settings-->CyanogenMod settings-->Interface-->Status bar tweaks-->Custom carrier label

The following character sequences can now be used:

$n = replace this with a newline if on the status bar (or with a space if on the lockscreen or if using the compact carrier label)

$d = replace this with the default carrier text

$p = replace this with the plmn carrier text

$s = replace this with the spn carrier text

Using my carrier name of "TW Mobile" if you enter the text: My DHD$n$d you will get this on the status bar

My DHD

TW Mobile

and on the lockscreen or if you use the Compact Carrier Label option you will get

My DHD TW Mobile

The benefit of this change is the ability to use the system carrier information and your own custom text.
[Desire HD Android Development] TUN_SD:
Great option! I wish I had that 2months ago!

send with a sandwich in my hand
[Desire HD Android Development] Chezbel:
Me too... LOL
[Desire HD Android Development] Chezbel:
New nightly on Post #1

There is 1 official CM7 change, but it may not apply to our phone

For the "long press HOME for Torch" function we cherry-pick a newer implementation. The functionality should be the same though.

The Custom Carrier Text enhancements have been submitted to CM7 so we now cherry-pick those instead of doing the more fragile diff patching.

In theory there should not be any noticeable differences, but it will help the flash-a-holics get through the day.

[Desire HD Android Development] DeathmonkeyGTX:
Plus one don't take it apart. I replaced motherboards and screens on wizard, hermes, kaiser, and rhodium but ace is way different.
[Desire HD Android Development] Chezbel:
One more nightly! (see Post 1)

There isn't anything very exciting, a few CM7 changes and the Torch and Carrier Text patches were updated to cherry-pick the latest patch sets that were submitted to CM7 today.

Even if you don't need to flash this... I know you will
[Desire HD Android Development] swolfman:
Replacing the screen lock is easy...

Well, if you use GO stuff - the launcher

you can add GO LOCKER to it

and later

Install Ice Cream sandwitch Theme from market

it will turn both your launcher and theme to be ICS look

Enjoy

[Desire HD Android Development] BenRoark:
So am I the only person who experiences the following?:

- no visuals (black) on embedded flash videos in Boat Browser.

- massive clipping (with or without Systune renicing) of music audio when powering the screen on and off.

- consistent failure to unpack and install the Nexus S swype keyboard (since version 1.23 or thereabouts)

I've been an avid user and fan of BlackIce since it was launched, but these issues are unresolved, for me anyway. Of course, I always perform full wipes and I never restore system data or anything.

Just curious whether anyone else is experiencing any of these issues...
[Desire HD Android Development] Chezbel:
I don't use Boat Browser and I don't really play music on my phone.

I did try installing Nexus S Swype from ICETool with logcat and I saw the following interesting line

W/PackageManager( 1567): Application package com.swype.android.inputmethod already installed. Skipping duplicate.

For me this makes sense because I already have a different version of Swype on my phone. Perhaps that is the same situation you have? I can take a look at the ICETool source to see if there is any way to make this better, but it's not my code so it may take a little time.
[Desire HD Android Development] BenRoark:
GdayThanks for the lightning response. Big fan of your work.

Nah, don't waste your time on my little issue. I have a Swype APK sitting on my sd-card which does the job. I just really really liked the BlackIce keyboard, and was raising the issue with the small hope that someonehad a workaround.

Thanks mate.
[Desire HD Android Development] Chezbel:
Thanks, but really all the credit goes to Alienmind. Most of my changes are just modifications of what he already did.
[Desire HD Android Development] BenRoark:
You kept the dream alive, bro!

I'm just disgusted that Alienmind thinks he can have a life and family instead of just cooking up ROMs and ROM Apps for whining ingrates 24/7. ;-)
[Desire HD Android Development] DeathmonkeyGTX:
hey chezbel, i have a question for you and alienmind. the International one x uses tegra 3 while the att version will use krait. does this mean that we Americans will nkt be able to use eurasian roms? i dont think i have ever liked an American rom all tbe way back to the wizard... or, would it not be tkl difficult to patch a euro rom with krait drivers?
[Desire HD Android Development] Chezbel:
I really don't know. My guess is that it could be done, but I don't know how big of a job that would be. Try asking some of the devs that have been around for a long time. They may have a good idea based on their previous experience.
[Desire HD Android Development] K Dotty:
Note or S2. s3 still isn't out. Haven't heard any official specs, just rumors of how its gonna be "OMG TOTALLY EPIC" so I can't e bothered to wait for it + its most probably gonna cost an arm and a leg + there was rumors of a Note 2. Kinda lost interest in things I can't see lol

Yes but s2 is so long in the tooth. I personally wouldn't want my new device to be already at the end of life from the manufacturer. I want one that will be supported for awhile.

[Desire HD Android Development] mehms:

[Desire HD Android Development] Rdlgrmpf:
Actually, I wrote him an Email asking for the workflow to at least keep it alive with the AOKP commits :D
[Desire HD Android Development] K Dotty:
Yh I get what your saying but I don't really think anybody on xda waits for things to be supported from the manufacturer, I know I dont. DHD for example, had mine a year and a half and never needed support from the manufacturer. The most I'd need is warranty because I know what ever phone I get or have had, blackberry - android - not iOS though burgh, it would be supported by devs of some sort + I'm clumsy. :D

S2 is old but it still out performs most devices

[Desire HD Android Development] Chezbel:
@K Dotty and mehms: I haven't even thought about that. It would require way more time than BlackICE and... Summer's almost here :)

However, I am able to build that code on my PC, which I usually do instead of downloading. The build scripts for BlackICE work with this codebase if you provide the right options, but just to be clear it builds pure ICS there is no BlackICE-ness.

Very good idea
[Desire HD Android Development] winter-X:
Anyone have the sound track for boot animation?

wanna make it as my notification sound...

will be appreciate if anyone can upload it here...

thanks...
[Desire HD Android Development] TUN_SD:
its in the rom zip\system\media

even in the system partition under system/media.
[Desire HD Android Development] K Dotty:
I'd be happy with that, I'm sure you'd be able to slap in a few commits that will make the rom more enjoyable. U did with this rom :D. There's already a black ice THEM too by Tun_SD. Even if u was to start an AOKP buil and update it once a week, I'd be happpy. I'm still like 2 versions behind on LC build due to my theme lol

@TUN_SD, maybe you could use the animal from this build in your theme :rolleyes:

It's been a while since we had a new nightly, but that's because there haven't been any CM7 changes that apply to DHD.

Tonight's nightly (see Post #1) doesn't have a lot to offer, but if you're starving for something to flash it will seem like a full meal.

The only CM7 change is: Bluetooth: Fixup problems with the SDP records [CyanogenMod/android_external_bluetooth_bluez]

The following apps have been updated to their latest versions

com.adobe.reader-1.apk

com.google.android.apps.maps-1.apk

com.google.android.apps.unveil-1.apk

com.keramidas.TitaniumBackup-1.apk
[Desire HD Android Development] rakesh2002:
Systunes update

Blackice 1.50 has systunes 1.6.6 but the latest one is 1.7. In the current systunes, I'm having the licensing issue, kindly update systunes for the upcoming Blackice release. Thanks.
[Desire HD Android Development] maatsby:
For reals? open Play and click update. I'm shocked there are still rom updates, I think you can handle a little app update after flashing right?
[Desire HD Android Development] rakesh2002:
I could, if and only if I wasn't asked to pay $2.61 for the update.
[Desire HD Android Development] maatsby:
I didn't realise the market asked u to pay again. Do u have the most updated version on another rom? Cos if u do u could go back on to that rom, adb pull the apk, and then install it on to blackice
[Desire HD Android Development] rakesh2002:
Thanks for the tip. btw, do you know which rom has latest systunes?
[Desire HD Android Development] maatsby:
i don't know of roms that include systune, i meant if you were on another rom recently, and you had the latest version of systune without any problems on that rom, and you have a backup of the rom, you could go back to that and take the apk out of it
[Desire HD Android Development] Chezbel:
Then something is wrong (such as an issue with the Market/Play itself) because once you buy something from the Market you can redownload it again as many times as you need to without paying again.

Regarding the apps that come with BlackICE there is no promise that they will always be up to date. Even when Alienmind was doing all the builds I believe these apps were only updated occassionally. I've only done this 2 or 3 times since I've been doing the builds. However, if I have time during the next build I will try to get the latest SysTune into the build.
[Desire HD Android Development] rakesh2002:
Hi Chezbel, I pulled out the latest systunes (1.7) out of sci miui rom. I still used to get licensing error but I used lucky patcher to remove the license and it works flawless.
[Desire HD Android Development] Chezbel:
I will assume are using Lucky Patcher to help you get something you have already paid for. If you are using Lucky Patcher so you can get apps without paying the developer that's not very polite.
[Desire HD Android Development] rakesh2002:
systunes comes free with this rom right. anyways i'll make sure of not misusing it. thanks.
[Desire HD Android Development] alchopop:
Been on ICS LC & MIUI which are both awesome, but I'm glad to be back on blackice.this rom is simply the best.

Thanks Chez for persisting with this & keeping it up to date
[Desire HD Android Development] Chezbel:
Anyone can use the free version and then upgrade to the paid version if they want to. When you mentioned Lucky Patcher one way that people might interpret that is that you were unlocking the paid version.

Good to know that is not what you were doing. There is a thread for SysTune here. Maybe there are some useful comments regarding the issue you had getting it from the Market, but I'm not sure.

Post #1 has a new nightly!

There are a few CM7 changes and these apps have been updated to newer versions

com.keramidas.TitaniumBackup-1.apk

ext.recovery.control-1.apk

@rakesh2002: I did not update dev.sci.systune-1.apk because it is already be the latest, 1.7. I did a binary compare of what is on my phone against what gets built into BlackICE and they are identical.
[Desire HD Android Development] mehms:
I forgot to mention, I think but recent update broke the hold-home-for-torch feature.

No big deal though.

ROM is still awesome. :)
[Desire HD Android Development] Chezbel:
It works for me. It only works on the screen you see when you first turn on your phone (security screen?). One thing that did change is that we cherry pick a newer implementation of this.
[Desire HD Android Development] DeathmonkeyGTX:
dude did you jack systune? if you did then you are a tool. a user is an awesome guy and not one to be ripped off.
[Desire HD Android Development] mehms:
You mean the lock screen? I just full wiped and installed latest thus morning. Oh well...
[Desire HD Android Development] Chezbel:
Yes, the Torch only works on the Lockscreen, not the screen where you enter your pin (Security screen?). I think that is the way it has always worked, is that true? Here are the 2 CM7 changes that BlackICE is currently cherry picking for this

Yup, since the beginning. It's okay, I'll try full wipe again later when I have the time.

I'm strongly considering getting a 1X...
[Desire HD Android Development] TUN_SD:

[Desire HD Android Development] mehms:
All the BlackICE users getting One X. I'm probably getting one too but when my contract ends in June.
[Desire HD Android Development] WManzo123:
I'm most likely getting a One X too. Even though my contract is up I still haven't found a reason to upgrade. My Inspire with BlackIce is all that I need.
[Desire HD Android Development] elbermu:
Would like to get one, but AT&T seems that is going to sell it only 16 GB and dual core, I feel is half the intl version. Like an One S but HD. AT&T One XL (xtra limited?). Going to wait the sg3. :p
[Desire HD Android Development] Chezbel:
New nightly on Post #1 with a few minor CM7 changes.
[Desire HD Android Development] Chezbel:
Yet another nightly, but I'm not sure that the 2 CM7 changes actually benefit our phone. At least the flash-addicts will get a nice new shiny version number to look at.

Also, I wanted to make sure everything still built after upgrading to Ubuntu 12.04.
[Desire HD Android Development] colt45x:
decided to come back to blackice after a while on lc ics. Did a full wipe, wifi won't work though. I turn it on, it sits there for a few seconds, then turns back off.
[Desire HD Android Development] Chezbel:
I haven't see that or heard it mentioned by anyone else. I'm guessing your signature is old and you are really using the latest version with the latest kernel?
[Desire HD Android Development] colt45x:
Ya, newest version, checked the md5, idk I'll flash again
[Desire HD Android Development] BenRoark:
Dude, did you pull the battery at any point? This exact problem was occurring for my missus, and it turned out that the WiFi antenna wasn't connected because the battery cover wasn't 100% on properly.
[Desire HD Android Development] mehms:
On another note, latest build is a little buggy for me.

Whenever I reboot, the 3G won't come on. Not a big deal though ccause I can always turn it off and on again.

If there's a solution for this, please do tell to help others. Thanks!

For now, I'll wipe and reinstall ROM. :)

Edit: Sorry, I figured out which app caused this issue. Now resolved.
[Desire HD Android Development] colt45x:
I did a full wipe and flash and it's working now(wifi), was probably my router or something. Another problem I've been having with this rom since the beginning is the status bar icons. I want them to be stock CM, not blackice. I can change it with theme chooser obviously but it always without fail changes back and forth from the blackice themed icons and the ones I want. I remember other people having the same issue back in the day. Is there a way to fix?
[Desire HD Android Development] stuffinthesky:
Refer to post number five.
[Desire HD Android Development] colt45x:
ahh thanks man. The links for those are down though, I can pull them from a CM nightly though. Where exactly do they go once i obtain them?

edit: nvm found it. /lib and /system/app

thanks for the help man

---------- Post added at 02:06 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:36 AM ----------

I tried to copy these over in root explorer a couple times and failed, lol. Whats the easiest way, put them in the blackice zip and just flash it like normal?
[Desire HD Android Development] Chezbel:
Maybe a silly question, but /system is read-only by default, did you change it to read-write before trying to copy? In root explorer there is a button near the upper right to do this.
[Desire HD Android Development] Chezbel:
I noticed a few more CM7 changes so we have a new nightly that includes them (see Post #1)
[Desire HD Android Development] TUN_SD:
Chezbel! you rock as usual!

something for the first page:

http://bit.ly/CM7centerCLOCK

statusbar centerclock! should work with all cm7 builds, as far as they are stock! :D
[Desire HD Android Development] colt45x:
I had /system set to rw, I knew it was read only and everything, when i tried to copy over the lib file it would just freeze. I tried to make a backup before, I just wasn't doing it correctly. I just pulled the files from the nightly and replaced the ones in the blackice zip with them and flashed. That seemed to work because I'm not having the problem at all anymore.
[Desire HD Android Development] Chezbel:
Post #1 has been updated to include a link to the Statusbar Centered Clock in the Miscellaneous section near the bottom. It's working fine after flashing it on top of the latest nightly (v1.50b17...) and it looks good too.
[Desire HD Android Development] Tangerines:
I have a problem with the latest nightly build. I am in Taiwan and when I try to find facebook or some other apps with google play I am not able to see it listed. I have changed my LCD density to 240... etc but still no luck. I'm going to flash the non-nightly version to see if that works. Other than that I'm stumped.

update: still no luck... any help would be greatly appreciated!
[Desire HD Android Development] mehms:
Did you clear the Market cache? It works fine on mine.
[Desire HD Android Development] WManzo123:
Did you go into icetool and install the lastest google play?
[Desire HD Android Development] Tangerines:
I just tried to install google play v3.5.16 and it says sorry the application com.android.vending has stopped unexpectedly.

Yup i have cleared the cache multiple times...

update: now all the versions I am trying to install keeps closing unexpectedly.

update 2: I've restarted the installed the lastest version of play, still no luck...can't find facebook app on market!
[Desire HD Android Development] TUN_SD:
I would suggest you install the market enabler app. maybe it helps!?
[Desire HD Android Development] Tangerines:
How do I use the enabler?

update: I have faked an US provider but still nothing changes in the app store :-(

This is unfortunate, because I am liking this rom. But I can't use it if the app market doesn't even let me install facebook!
[Desire HD Android Development] TUN_SD:
thats really weird, first time I hear, that facebook isn't available! whats up zuckerberg?

did you come from another rom, or did you made a upgrade to the nightly?
