I'm getting random bouts of lag. I had the same issue with LeeDroid which of course had the same kernal. I'm thinking its looking for a nonexistant 3G radio. Anyway to remove all the 3G stuff? I just got a wifi only flyer

EDIT. I used TB and removed all the 3G stuff and cleared the cache and it took a few reboots but now all lag is gone. Still a bit choppy but faster than stock and the random bouts of lag are gone.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Gumby63:
Okay since my flyer is bricked and has a broken screen, I think it's time to close this thread. I will PM a mod soon. Its been fun everyone :)
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Aerogriff:
Just got my flyer yesterday and this is the first rom I flashed on it. Love it! Awesome rom, no problems so far.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] h8dannyboy:
I really like this Rom alot... but I need access to my contacts so I:

1) Extracted "HtcContacts.apk" from another flyer Honeycomb rom(.zip) (you can find it in "apps folder" of the "system folder".. hope that made sense)

2) used "root explorer" (you can use other root file managers) to change the protected systems folder to writable so I could copy and past the "HtcContacts.apk" in the systems

3) changed the permissions on the app (by selecting and holding the HtcContacts.apk file you will see permissions again I'm using "Root explorer")

4) Check marks in blocks:

Read- all checked -owner, group, other

Write - owner only checked

Execute - no blocks checked

Special permissions - no blocks checked

5) reboot and you should see your contact app "people" if you have problems you probly didn't set the permissions right
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Gumby63:
I'm going to re-add the stock contacts app and mms app in the next update. I'm visiting some family in Florida but I brought my laptop ;D
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] scotty1223:
thanks so much for this! im a huge AOSP fan,this is just what ive been lookin for,i love the look and feel of the launcher and keyboard :cool:

just flashed it and so far seems to be working great.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] scotty1223:
care to upload it or email it to me so i can be lazy and not have to restore a backup? :p:D

Gumby63, are we able to write this theme into a skin format to be used with HTC's personalize/theme app?

I took a prelim peek around at the changes in this rom. I like how it's trying to accomplish the same default honeycomb theme. I still haven't found the exact file locations that the Sense UI overwrites/implements its own icons, unfortunately.

I noticed the battery icons in /drawable-mdpi/ of framework-res.apk is using the stock AOSP honeycomb icons. A couple of them are the original battery icon though, slight bug if that is intended to be fixed (stat_sys_battery_10.png and stat_sys_battery_20.png)

With permission from Gumby63, I'm looking into porting this for those of us on the View with Clevernamehere honeycomb rom. Really glad to see this is out already so we have some development to work with.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Gumby63:
I don't think a skin would be able to change the status bar images, but we could use it to change the sense UI . I never really thought about that Lol.

But I'm pretty sure that a lot of sense images and such are located in com.htc.resources.apk

I didn't even realize those battery images weren't overwriten so thanks for pointing that out! Regarding the port I could probably add support for the view myself, I just wouldn't be able to test anything. I'll look into it more when I get back to my computer.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] :
Just thought I would tell you that you need to deleted browser2.db in order to have the orginal honeycomb browser to work. It's located at /data/data/com.android.browser/databases/browser2.db.

Reboot and then tap a book mark in the bookmark widget, and now it should work

If not delete anything with browser2 in that folder..That should do it =]
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] kaijura:
I was initially thinking of theming through custom downloadable skins sort of like how they did it for custom phone sense themes, sopL87 has instructions on that but it's not written for tablets/honeycomb. I was thinking of how to accomplish this yesterday and found you had already done this (found your post in the screenshot thread that lead to here :p).

Anyway, yeah I have no clue if it'll work 100% as I notice SystemUI.apk is necessary for the HC status bar icons. But I'm willing to help test/dev it out, as I'm already trying to make my homebrew kang of your work to the View to see if it works.

---------- Post added at 02:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:10 PM ----------

I pushed over your SystemUI.apk to the View.

Didn't change anything, just to see if it'd work. Achieved honeycomb taskbar, nothing broken so far. :)
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Gumby63:
Dude thanks lol logcat kept saying something about data but i wasnt sure where to look.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Gumby63:
The names of the images are probably different or something to that sort . I'm going to pm you sometime in the next couple of days when i get a chance.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] :
Oh no problem. I have flashed your rom and I de-sensed it a little more, and added some AOSP apps to it. I may look into how to theme the bar, the windows and the little notifications menu...Then it would be majorly de-sensed =]
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] mcord11758:
Do you guys mind posting the files and apk needed for the asop browser
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] :
Here is the file push to system/app/

adb remount
adb push browser.apk /system/app/

Follow the instructions I posted above
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] r_3:
Can we use a different kernel with this rom?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] kool2zero:
Is it weird that Gmail is the phone version and not the tablet version. Also, it cannot be found in the Market.

Second, is it possible to add US/en to the locale when setting up the tablet?

I used morelocale2 to change my locale, but do you think one is related to the other. Whereas, the market is still seeing the locale as uk and they may not have the tablet version of Gmail?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] graffixnyc:
Gumby63,

I ported it over for the View :)

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1416868

Lets put our heads together and see how much more sense we can rip from this thing :) I tried using the stock HC browser but it kept fcing on me.. I really want to do something about the settings screen. Maybe we cant change it completely because sense relies on it too much but maybe we can at least theme it out to look more stock. I was looking at the settings.apk and I couldnt find some stuff like the backgrounds, the icons I saw so that shouldnt be a big deal.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] r_3:
I answered my own question. I installed LeeDroids kernel and it works fine.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] :
Look at my posts above for the browsers
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] :
Yea it is kind of funny, I think HTC wanted us to use their mail app.

I found the ICS gmail.apk it's a lot better. If you want it find a way to push it to system/app/ , reboot , and then wait a little it may FC the first or few times but it does work =]

Also they need to add American English to the language options, but I have not noticed any major differences when using this rom
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] graffixnyc:
hehe thanks, I hadnt seen them yet. I had hit reply from the 1st page without reading the rest of the thread. I tried what you posted. I deleted all references to Browser2 in databases. I think there were 3 files that said browser2. But when I run the stock browser it still fc's on me and when I go back into the database folder those broswer2 files are back
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] :
Try deleting them again and try to open the browser through the bookmarks widget
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] kaijura:
Pushed this over to the View, works fine from here too. Didn't expect it not to. :p

yeah, it's a lot better than the default.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] r_3:
Was listening to pandora and got a boot loop restart out of the blue.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] kool2zero:
Thanks bud!

I think it's because the ROM is European based. That's why there's no US English
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] graffixnyc:
I had to use a different version of the apk than the one you posted. But it works now :) Thanks!
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] mcord11758:
Where did you get the version that worked for you? Was having the same problem
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] graffixnyc:
I pulled it from an Asus Transformer rom
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] :
I was wondering if anyone had any progress on the themeing front. I tried modifing the systemui.apk but it did not work.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Gumby63:
I'm going to look into theming a skin and see how that goes sometime this weekend hopefully
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] kaijura:
I did look a bit into the sense/skin aspect. I learned a bit of things so far from experiment.

It seems that the sense framework (com.htc apk) uses some of what it has from there, while HTC links to some things out from the aosp apk's while they replaced those images.

Heres what I came to so far:

Home, Back, Menu, Windows: SystemUI.apk

Wifi signal icons (htc ver): SystemUI.apk

Battery meter icons (htc ver): framework-res.apk

Statusbar icons, NOT back/home/menu on Statusbar (htc ver): framework-res.apk

Font: in system/fonts/ HTC uses Helvetica____. I replaced them all with the default HC font, so far only my lockscreen clock font has changed. Not sure what font the statusbar clock is accessing. I found some pngs of HTC sense clock widget numbers only in the skins apk's. Those are in (skin).apk /drawable-mdpi/clock_weather____.png

If you pull one of the default HTC skins from app, such as Burgundy or GreenImmersion, decompile the apk and then you can see in the drawable-mdpi what is changed in terms of png's.

I also believe one of the xml's in that skin package controls the colors of backgrounds and color when highlighting or selecting a menu category.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] :
Okay, I'll try some more. If I get anything I'll post
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Gumby63:
It's killing me not being able to work on this at all right now
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] r_3:
hmmm just realized that there is no way to change what apps launch with the ring on the lock screen
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] mcord11758:
That did the trick for me
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Gumby63:
Oh wow there isn't. -_- I'd love to get the stock aosp lockscreen but i have a feeling that would be a rather difficult task.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] kaijura:
Yep it's a definitely a tedious undertaking to mod sense to AOSP as close as possible. It's probably much easier to build and compile AOSP from the SDK, which I've been looking into. Removes the headache of having to search around and find all the file locations and whatnot..
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] :
We could just port ICS from lets say the DHD
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Gumby63:
I've been looking into it also but my Linux is all screwed up and I don't have a stable internet connection to fix it.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] r_3:
The obvious alternative is to just run widget locker to bypass it all together and have the ics lock ring.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] AidenM:
Gumby63, can you install stock HTC launcher to access lock screen settings and whatnot or does it depend on other apks you removed?

Edit: Also, how to reinstall stock HTC keyboard? I kinda liked it. Just the apk? HTCImei.apk or something?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Gumby63:
You should be able to pull the Rosie.apk (stock launcher) from another rom and put it in system/app. And the same with the keyboard. It's called HTC_IME.apk
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Gumby63:
I'd link it to you but I don't have computer access right now
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] AidenM:
Thanks, I got the keyboard to work now to try launcher :D

I might post a flash able zip of both

Edit: Rosie.apk in system/app doesn't do anything, no launcher choice and you can't install the APK.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Gumby63:
Did you adb push or install using a file explorer? And which rom did you get it from?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] AidenM:
I ADB pushed, I got it from Cool3D
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] AidenM:
Gumby, there is anew RUU for HC WiFi only users. Are you going to rebase off that? These roms actually are trying to find a 3G radio.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Gumby63:
Well I'm planning on keeping support for 3g and WiFi. So probably not. There are ways to stop it from doing that I just need to look them up again. I haven't ever really gotten any huge battery drain though
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] AidenM:
That's OK. I'm making a ROM for wifi, mind if i borrow your home, menu, and back images?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Gumby63:
Yeah dude go for it
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] AidenM:
Thanks man
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] scotty1223:
i havent done anything other than turn off mobile data,and my battery life is fine. definatley not worse than the stock HC rom.

only thing id like is the contacts... i tried to install as described above,and for some reason it would not work :mad:
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Gumby63:
Sorry guys I haven't been putting to much work into this lately. I've been trying to build ics for our tablet and it's rather difficult :P
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] estelgrace:
Awesome! No prob (I think Chainmail's got your back?)

Sending encouragement your way...

I'm drooling for ICS on the Flyer :D
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] lawguy:
Keep it up! The harder it is to do the greater your sense of reward when you do it. If it was easy, it would have been done already.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Gumby63:
Updates out :)
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] SAPPH1RE:
I notice from the first post that you used launcher from the xoom. Is it direct porting or you need to modified the apk, cause i'm thinking about ICS launcher right now. Have to wait for my wife to get back from work, than i can try my idea..
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Gumby63:
All I did was install it. Simple as that. However, I highly doubt the ICS launcher will install. That would need modifying
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] SAPPH1RE:
Yeah, i notice the systemui.apk and framework-res need to be modified.. I thought it was easy as copy and paste the launcher :p

Anyway, tried your 1.5.1 yesterday, and i'm notice a bug in app drawer. When i'm browsing the drawer in landscape, if i rotate the flyer into potrait while in drawer, the icons in the drawer would be missing, until i swipe randomly, then, the icon would appear again.

The scrolling animation in homescreen and drawer is lagging. I look into the build.prop and debug.sf.hw is enable. Tried to add debug.enabletr=true, still haven't noticing any improvement. Haven't had the time yesterday with these tweaks:

windowsmgr.max_events_per_sec=150

debug.performance.tuning=1

video.accelerate.hw=1

Maybe this will help in scrolling responsiveness. Will try later when i had the flyer in my hands

Haven't tried your v1.6. Still downloading though.

Anyway, great job on the desensified.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Gumby63:
I tried to re-create the app drawer bug and couldn't do it. That's strange.

And as far as the lagging, how bad is it?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] grippa:
AOSP browser

hi there,

i'm trying to add your AOSP browser to my stock HC without flashing the ROM. I extracted the browser.apk from you rom and placed it in /system/app with the correct permissions (deleted the old one). but the browser FC's - do I need to modify something else to get it working? Thanks.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] nickmgray:
just flashed the rom. Love it so far, but I'm having issues with the launcher. Every time I try adding a widget to the home screen the launcher force closes. I've tried restartimg and reflashing twice but still have the same issue.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Gumby63:
Try deleting anything that says 'browser' in /data/data
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Gumby63:
Let me see if I can re-create it
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Gumby63:
Alright i'll post a zip soon to fix the launcher force close when choosing a widget. sorry about that
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] grippa:
that worked! thanks.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Gumby63:
Posted a fix for the launcher fc in the second post!
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Indirect:
Hey gumby, would you mind pulling the "Setupwizard.apk" from /system/app for me? I wanna try something on my view :)
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Gumby63:
Here you go!
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Indirect:
Got it, it worked but didnt change anything. >.<
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Gumby63:
Haha what were you trying to change?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] nickmgray:
thanks for pushing that out, but it actually made things worse. Now I can't even use the launcher since it force closes immediately after launch and going into a force close loop.

Thoughts?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Indirect:
You need to wipe data before you flash the launcher fix. Also gum by I was trying to fix a FC on my rom when adding wifi on first boot startupwizard

Sent by breaking the sound barrier
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Gumby63:
That's odd because I tested it myself and it worked. Try re flashing the ROM and then flashing the fix
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Gumby63:
Wow thats odd. Did you accidentally remove anything?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Indirect:
I didn't accidently remove anything. It only did it while trying to add wifi on first boot. I made a decent full desensed rom though. Only thing left with sense in the UI is the lock screen that doesn't have shortcut icons or bubbles. :D

Sent by breaking the sound barrier
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Gumby63:
That pesky lock screen..I want aosp lock screen! Lolol not an app that mimics it
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Indirect:
Yeah I agree. It requires framework and Smali edits though.

Sent by breaking the sound barrier
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Gumby63:
Yeah I've looked through some smali but to be honest I don't really know what to look for.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Indirect:
i was actually wanting to get a flyer/view team together so then we can organize our work and release fixes for things. I tried talking to graffix but he only seems interested in his rom. I have a themer but want more from devs and maybe sMali/Java coders too
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Gumby63:
I'd totally be up for that even though I'm fairly new to the dev scene. I'd love to learn more. Shoot me a pm if you want :)
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] VDub2174:
I'm always up for trying new ROMs and I really like the look of yours.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] eva_d:
I've got the same issue. Haven't tried to wipe data (as suggested by Indirect) to see whether that would solve it, tough.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Gumby63:
Maybe try reflashing the ROM and then flash the fix before you resort to a data wipe.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] TSGM:
Perhaps this is a silly question, but there are a few ROMs in the forum which remove Sense. What are the advantages of going Sense-less?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Gumby63:
Well I guess you could say some believe that it performs better without sense becomes its just bloatware. I do it mostly for the looks. I love the look of stock honeycomb so I decided to remove sense and for the aosp look.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] trksab:
Good Job! Thank you

Will try it when it become more stable ;) I hate taking risks
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Draciel882:
I just flashed this on a full wipe and then I wiped Dalvik and cache and all I get when I reboot is a black screen. Is there a way to get it to boot?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Gumby63:
Uhhhh not sure why it did that. You had already upgraded to honeycomb before flashing this right?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Draciel882:
Yeah, I came from LeeDroid HC. I just restored my backup and it booted right up so my Flyer isn't pooched haha
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Gumby63:
Lol that's weird. Maybe you got a bad download? No one else has run into this issue so I'm not too sure what to tell you. Maybe try wiping everything again and flashing?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Draciel882:
I'll try downloading it on my computer instead of straight to my Flyer.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Draciel882:
Redownloaded the zip on my computer. Put it on my sdcard, full wipe, install, wipe dalvik and cache. When I turn it on, it flashes the white screen with HTC on it and then it goes to the black screen where a boot animation should be and the capacitive lights are on. How long does it take to boot on the first install? I must be doing something wrong :/
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Gumby63:
Dude I don't know. Try wiping cache and dalvik before the flash, and if you have adb run a logcat to see what's going on
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Gumby63:
Try adb pushing the file in the zip attached to /system/etc/init.d

And tell me if that fixes it. If not i'm going to pm you an old version of the rom to see if that will boot
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Gumby63:
Lol yeah.

Sense

Hello,

Just bought a 32G 3G flyer. I am not very fan of Sense and so I want to use other launcher (standard honeycomb or other).

What is the difference between the desensified ROM and the original ROM where you do not add Sense widgets? The homescreen of the original flyer is the standard honeycomb homescreen. Isn't it?

thanks

Sebastien
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] SAPPH1RE:
The original flyer is not standard honeycomb homescreen, is a rosie launcher which integrated with sense widget, even if you don't add any widget, is still a sense launcher.

What Gumby did is replacing the rosie launcher with other standard honeycomb launcher, which in this ROM, it was taken from the motorola xoom ROM, if i'm not mistaken.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Gumby63:
Spot on lol
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] smille:
thanks all....

Could you give me a link for tuto how to install the desensified ROM.

I am on flyer CID_num HTC_405

I have upgraded honeycomb stock HTC ROM

I cannot make the flyer S-off as the HBOOT is 1.11.0011 which is not supported by Revolutionary...

Shall I only copy the desensified ROM onto the SDcard and go into recovery mode?

Thanks to all

Sebastien
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Gumby63:
you're HTC unlocked right?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] smille:
Also one question: can we use the stylet and the notes application in the desensified ROM?

Thanks

Sebastien
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Gumby63:
Yeah you can i kept that.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] smille:
I have done nothing except upgrade OTA for honeycomb.

If I copy the desensified.zip to the flyer, the recovery does not work (even if renamed update.zip).

Is there a tuto to install the desensified ROM for stock honeycomb ROM please?

Thanks

Sebastien
