Could we at least get a 3g only port, from maybe the inc2 since they are somewhat similar as far as processors, etc? I'd hit thanks all day and maybe dig in my bank account for a donation.

It took DV forever to get MIUI data. Same with CM7. Just be patient. :-)
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] livetoskateaz:
I was looking at this:

http://www.netmite.com/android/mydroid/development/pdk/docs/telephony.html

and this:

http://www.kandroid.org/online-pdk/guide/telephony.html

And from those descriptions it looks like the RIL consists of the daemon, which is provided in AOSP and issues requests and recieves notifications from a vendor provided library (libril-vendor.so).

The issue is that if you don't have a libril-vendor.so that is compatible with your current version of the AOSP daemon, then you can't use the radio. And since the library is compiled C, it's probably difficult to reverse engineer or rebuild from scratch without detailed hardware documentation.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kh40s:
How were developers able to get a working RIL (data) for Gingerbread? I would assume the same process would work for Ice Cream Sandwich. Am I missing something?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CanesDrew:
This is why no one on this thread complaining or questioning why ICS isn't available yet is a developer.

This makes me sad. No love from HTC :(:(:(
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kh40s:
@CanesDrew It is my understanding that developers had to wait for RIL from the manufacturer in the past. There are stories of reverse engineering, but source code is nowhere to be found. I'm guessing that's still the case, and the reason we won't see ICS on Thunderbolt until HTC releases the first wave of updates in March.

Alright, so after I got pissed to the extreme after what happened tonight at work. My phone keeps un-rooting itsel and constantly reboots on Raver's CM7 hybrid ROM. I threw my phone across the room. Slammed it into the ground 15 times, and stomped on it. Does anyone know where I can find a cheap replacement screen? The LCD, not the outside of it. How can I open up the SGS4G anyway? Got out all of the screws, but it will not budge.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] hechoen:
Throw it really hard against the wall. I guarantee it will come apart. Or you could look it up on Ifixit. First way sounds more fun.

as i know,cm7 and the miui are the most rocking rom in android,but im wondering that why our sensation forum is not ?isn't cm7 performance can beat over sense?:confused:
[HTC Sensation] epsix:
CM7 and Miui are great add-on fir Sensation, I buy HTC for Sense UI ,smooth scrolling, great email apps,navigation and great widget. Screw those who said Sense is slow. If I want AOSP I would've get Samsung. To me AOSP sux balls and boring.

[HTC Sensation] n7of9:
i've tried both and didn't like them at all
[HTC Sensation] exb0:
here's the bottom line. Sense is cooler looking (except the ICS sense 3.5, to me it looks like ****. seriously. wtf. ). It IS slower. People who said it isn't are in denial. Sense is just really heavy due to the framework and ****.

Aosp is boring. as EpSix said. but, it's fast. muuuuch faster than any sense rom. Doesn't matter what "aosp" rom it is. CM7, MIUI, CM9. It's all faster than sense. Problem is it doesn't look as good out of the box. The customizations are endless when a stable build comes out. Just take CM7 + ADW Launcher + Theme chooser. it's heaven.
[HTC Sensation] big_sw2000:
What part of this sense 3.6 looks ****.

Its also super fast now on this rom Elegancia 2.1.6, maybe not quite up to Aosp speed, but close enough.
[HTC Sensation] exb0:
I'm sorry if I have offended you in any way, but I am a more minimalistic person. I do not like fancy neon colors. to me it's an eye sore. but that's what sense gives. so I guess my point wasn't valid. it's up to the user, but to me it's ****.
[HTC Sensation] big_sw2000:
No offence taken. lol

I just seen it as a way to show off my device, and what can be done with sense. And the fact that you say sence is cooler looking.

Everbody has the on way, other wise we would all be using the same rom, like sheep.

The only thing that i dont get. Is why people buy HTC to use Aosp roms.

Im sorry if my post came across as being a little agressive.

Steve
[HTC Sensation] tr1p7s:
I bought HTC because it was between the Sensation and the S2. The S2 woud've cost me 65,000won vs the Sensation's 56-57,000won. (In Korea, you don't buy the phone outright unless you want to drop 850,000won. So you pick a plan and a phone and pay off the phone in installments.)

I liked Sense but wanted ICS already so I flashed a custom ROM.
[HTC Sensation] k0nfucius:
Why shouldn't they? Unless you buy a Nexus device you're going to get a manufacturer GUI, whether it's Sense with HTC, Touchwiz with Samsung, Blur with Motorola, etc.
[HTC Sensation] big_sw2000:
Lol getting my ass kicked in hear

Sorry me being thick, not thinking others supliers use there own GUI like touchwiz etc.

Like i said above, everyone has diffrent ideas, i was just wondering.

To me, I bought this device because of the dual core, and I don't want a Samsung. I would have gotten the gal nex if it was HTC.

[HTC Sensation] DDeveryday:
Installed CM7 and MIUI and never looked back. ICS is awesome too!
[HTC Sensation] sshede:
the last good Sense was 3.0, which is why I'm still on it. 3.5 and 3.6 feel clunky and I haven't met anyone who prefers the soft gray over 3.0s hard grays and blacks.

AOSP roms offer the best battery life and smoothest experience, but there aren't any rock solid ones for the Sensation yet.

as for MIUI, it has always been very slow and laggy. maybe if it were GPU accelerated, but no goddamn way is that going back on my phone.
[HTC Sensation] g1user101:
Sense for apps and widgets.

Miui for iphone look

Aosp for plain look
[HTC Sensation] sergeybrin:
Sense UI sucks!

First of all the calendar app doesn't even show titles of events on the boxes(you have to click on them to see it), which is USELESS if you use calendar. You might as well take an actual, physical wall calendar and just mysteriously draw boxes for all your appointments, because that's all you get with Sense calendar.

Personalize button stuck on the main screen is also retarded lol, who the bloody hell is changing their wallpaper/ringtone that frequently to need it stuck on their main screen! Calm down with the uber personalization, I just want to use my phone!

The USB cable screen is a hulking behemoth of steaming poo, why are there like THIRTY THOUSAND OPTIONS FOR USING A USB CABLE?! The first time I saw it I had to change my undergarments. Stock Android just has "connect to pc" and then.....what do you know? "disconnect from pc."

And on the dialer screen, god help you if you decide to call someone you don't have a photo for. The giant huge ass green Android that pops up on the screen with a white background will blind you and scar your eyes forever with its obnoxious ugly huge size. Jesus phone, calm your ass down, I just want to make a call!

Want to use secure lockscreen? Good luck! You can't even see who's calling you, because they are so desperate that you use their nifty HTC lockscreen. You have to use two lockscreens! What a bunch of ****!

I also always hear people talk about their HTC widgets. Well who the bloody hell in their right mind would want a huge ass clock taking up half the screen? Not to mention you already have a clock(look at the top right corner of your phone) but why buy the Sensation and have a big screen just to put a clock that takes up half the screen on it?! I guess you can look "cool" to your friends, but I prefer a useful home screen!

Not to mention it's LAGGY!

I am currently using CM7, I was using VQ but couldn't stand the reboots. Waiting for a stable CM9 release.
[HTC Sensation] k0zmic:
Fair enough if that's your opinion.

Never use the Calendar so I can't comment on it.

I don't think it's that big a deal. For 'normal' users who may not know about long pressing the home screen and going to the settings Menu it could be fairly useful. Besides, I believe you could re-assign it to something else if you want, at my old Hero could.

Bit big of an exaggeration there :D! There's only 5 options (On ICS).

Once again I do think it makes things like Tethering a bit quicker to use. I don't use HTC Sync but I can definitely see why it's on the cable screen, people who use Outlook may need to sync their Calenders every day or so and this just makes it easier.

I don't have photos for anyone and I always though it looked fine. Never bothered me since my phone is up to my ear so I don't look at it anyway apart from briefly.

Not sure about this one since I had a call today and my phone was locked and I could see the caller fine. Maybe this is different on ICS and Gingerbread.

Me! Although, I didn't buy the Sensation just for the clock.

I keep it mainly because I find the weather section useful and it acts as a shortcut to alarms and the stopwatch etc.

So no it's not to look 'cool' (at least not in my case).

I think it was always quick and smooth, didn't notice any lag on Stock Gingerbread.

With ARHD it's quick, the only thing that could be a bit quicker is the Settings Menu, but it's beta so that's a non issue.

I look forward to CM9 as well.
[HTC Sensation] gbarayah:
This is my third Android Device. Two of them have been from HTC and the other from Motorola. I buy HTC not because of Sense, it does provide some 'eye candy' but its not for me. I go with HTC because of their great build quality and the fact that they are so developer friendly. With the number of ROMs under development, its hard to not find one that doesn't work for you.

AOSP CAN be boring, but with a few modifications, you can make look just as good as Sense:

Check out ADW EX as a launcher replacement. Tons of themes to choose from and easy to swap out icons.

I use Beautiful Widgets for a 'sense like' clock. IMO, it runs circles around the stock sense clock widget, much more customizable.

I do use the Calendar quite frequently. Pure Grid Calendar Widget is just as good as the sense calendar if not better.

Bottom line: to each their own. Some like a minimal look. Others like a flashy setup. Find what works for you and enjoy it. =D
[HTC Sensation] big_sw2000:
Like i said, everyone to there own. Thats exactly what i like about Sense.
[HTC Sensation] Asa2303:
I upgraded to my sensation xe purely for the 1.5 ghz dual core. Its my first htc, and I kept sense for about two days. Yeah, it looks lovely, and gave me a nice 'wow' feeling. But it slows down my phone and uses too much battery. So I run aosp as I did on my previous phone, and now it has higher performance and better battery life. That's what's important to me. That's why I use aosp. But each to their own. Peace out :)

sent from my Sensation XE
[HTC Sensation] big_sw2000:
Just out of intreast what is your battery life. On the latest ICS sense3.6 rom i can easily do 2 full days on a charge. That is loads better than stock.

I had a HTC Hero before the sensation, and i used Elenox roms AOSP a lot, because of the battery life.

Ok my next question.

What is the best AOSP rom for the Sensation. Ive not been happy with any of the ones i tried yet.

Steve
[HTC Sensation] ron1x:
can you post your setup? Looks nice
[HTC Sensation] Asa2303:
I get 2 full days (48 hours) of normal use from a full charge at stock settings, or about 5 hours if I activate both cores on boot and o/c to 1.9 ghz, so battery life can be a very subjective topic, and can only be compared on an individual level as everyone has different usage and settings.

Am running reverted aosp with cm settings, and the bricked 1.6 kernel for aosp roms. Everything works, I think, haven't had any issues. Maybe the camera apk isn't as good as stock, but the pictures taken are just as good.

[HTC Sensation] col888:
Im running ARHD ICS 6.2.1 @ 1.5ghz with sense 3.6 on my sensation, it was a bit sluggish at first, until I enabled the 2nd CPU core using system tuner. Now it runs ultra smooth and fast. Im definatly sticking with sense, looking forward to sense 4.0.
[HTC Sensation] ansonchan:
we need to manually enable second core?

isn't it will automatically enable when it feel not affordable while playing game or surfing internet?
[HTC Sensation] norazi:
Sense is for the people who want their phone UI to look pretty like Apple iOS with none of the performance benefits of iOS

see this is what i dont get... many devs have already stated that manually forcing the 2nd core actually slows down your phone in most cases.. this is backed up with benchmarks and dev knowledge... but people "think" that their phone is faster after forcing the 2nd core which is completely wrong and these are the same people who think that sense is actually "fast"
[HTC Sensation] big_sw2000:
Well i brought my Sensation use Sense because i dont like Appple iOS.

I dont see any spped problem with Elegancia rom, ive not forced the second core, as advised not to by most devs.

Although i have never compared it propley to AOSP rom, but i feel i dont have to.

Like i said on my HTC Hero i used all sorts of AOSP roms, because they were faster, and the battery better

Hi all, I am trying to find a way to hide the system bar.

on my SGT 10.1, HoneyBar used to work (you can hide the bar by clicking a space specified by the application, with offset and introduction modes)

However, the same application does not work on my SGT 7.7

Anyone got other solutions?
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Themes and Apps] Glamthaus:
I use HideBar.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Themes and Apps] kazuni:
Thanks, quite some good tool there (especially the hidden back button). Although there's quite a bit of lag after I tried to do the unhide action. (but it happens on HoneyBar as well).
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Themes and Apps] alvinlts:

[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Themes and Apps] Linuschen:
You can use mx video player.

It will automaticaly hide status bar.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Themes and Apps] psuusr:
HideBar didn't work well on my tab. (gt-p6810 imported from HK)

I can "hide status bar", but afterwards, never show it again.

What's the difference between others and me?

Anyway, I purchased HoneyBar

and that seems working well for now.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Themes and Apps] EarlZ:
Can you check if honey bar can still hide the status bar with Dice player or mVideo Player, thanks!
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Themes and Apps] psuusr:
I've just checked it and found HoneyBar can work with both Dice and mVideoPlayer.

I could watch videos with true fullscreen without any problems,

there are some people who say HoneyBar didn't work from the start, though.

Android market has 15min refund window,

you can try on your own :)
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Themes and Apps] EarlZ:
Thanks, I didnt get the Tab yet.. waiting for later batches. The ones we have in my country seems to be a bit problematic.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Themes and Apps] jakenz:
Honeybar, Diceplayer & aspect ratios

So I also tried Honeybar with my brand spanking p6800 (ZSLA2 Hong Kong firmware) and confirm it effectively hides the status bar in all the places/apps I've tried it so far: Diceplayer, stock browser, gallery & home screen. If I discover somewhere it doesn't work I'll advise but so far so good. No issues at all un-hiding the bar - just tap the invisible spot bottom centre edge of screen.

Most useful usage for me - for web-browsing where screen space is at a premium. Easily worth the $1 for that alone.

I was actually most interested in it for use with video, and it certainly works as intended there but for me the effect was very subtle:

(i) hiding the already virtually invisible "movie mode" blacked out status bar with its tiny dark grey function locator dots (bar is of course more visible in a pitch black room, so more benefit there); and

(ii) as it frees up the space used by the status bar the video image is theoretically able to "expand" to occupy that space. No doubt this is a great benefit for those who like fill the frame or have 1.6:1 source material. But for me much of my sources are 16:9 and I prefer to run in native aspect i.e. black bars above and below the image. So in this case all hiding the status bar achieved was move to the video frame very slightly down the screen (without changing its aspect, or raw pixel width or height) so that the video image remained centered between the upper and lower bounds of the now slightly increased vertical accessible screen area.

Probably a bit too much detail there but hopefully useful for someone.

PS: currently flicking through a 7.5Mb/s rip of episode one from my Bluray box set of BBC Frozen Planet and it is... stunning.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Themes and Apps] jakenz:
Hmmm, I spoke too soon. So the above was all accurate - when Honeybar was working fine. Unfortunately Honeybar just started being temperamental.

It stopped hiding the bar for a while no matter what I did, including closing in application manager and reopening the app. Then after disabling and re-enabling within the honeybar app started working again. Now stopped again...

Now working again after closing it in application manager then reopening. I'll see if I can discern a trend...
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Themes and Apps] EarlZ:
Maybe restarting the device helps?

Should be reported as a bug to the developer though..
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Themes and Apps] Linuschen:
Can honeybar offset change from middle left to middle right?

[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Themes and Apps] fabiovolta:
I'm one of those for who Honeybar worked and Hidebar didn't - it hid the status bar fine but rarely showed it again.

Then just recently, after installing a new status bar theme, I gave it another try and surprise! Both Honey and Hide were working.

Has to be noted that to show the status bar with Hidebar is not enough to touch the bottom of the screen. A brief rubbing in any direction is needed, in the area where the bar normally is. Neither the invisible back button option works too well, it also requires a rub to activate and in the process it makes the status bar reappear too.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Themes and Apps] ccyumo:
have you root?

have you root? mine is well.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Themes and Apps] Masterface7:
I have tried honeybar and hide bar and neither were really acceptable here were my issues:

Honeybar worked great for the first hide then it un-hid no problem. However after that the white box i needed to tap designating the tab region slid up above the status bar when it became un-hid. From then on tapping on the box or in the original tap spot yielded no result.

hide bar hid the bar like it should have but then i could never get the bar to come back reliably. I tried the bottom tap option and the multi top/bottom tap option and it never just worked. Also after the bar was hidden the ghost back button never worked. There was one time the bar came back but it was after a flurry of taps and drags.

there have been updates to honeybar since i have used it so maybe they fixed my issue i do not know.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Themes and Apps] sk806:
I'm working on a port of the hide status bar from power menu mod from 10.1. I am close...should be ready fairly soon.

Steve
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Themes and Apps] Gam3r 4 Life:
I was hoping the same thing. An option to choose the offset from left to right. Because in portrait mode on the 7.0 plus I had the honeybar area covered the menu button. But to the right there was open space. So an option to move it to the right would be awesome. Im no coder, but it doesnt sound like it would be too hard?
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Themes and Apps] Neversian:
honeybar have the function to offset the button... it inside the app option ...
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Themes and Apps] StupidIdea:
You can try Gesture Control.

It allows to hide/show bar and control device with gestures (Back, Home, show/hide bar). And it doesn't lag like honeybar.

[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] skdutta:
Just bought a new evo 4g view online (not via sprint), the software info is:

Android Version

2.3.4

HTC Sense Version

2.1

Software Number

1.22.651.1

PRI Version

2.8_003

PRL Version

60679

When I try to update the firmware, profile or PRL it gives 1233 error. When I try to do HTC Software Update it says "There are no updates available for your tablet"

I am only running with WiFi and have no intention of taking 4G data plan from sprint. I also do not have an SD card attached yet.

Is there any way to do OTA update to Honeycomb on this tablet. Or should I try to root and install the ROM, if so, what is the best way to get the stock HC ROM for this tablet. I would rather not root/ROM right now as I am still evaluating the tablet.

Thanks

SK
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] skdutta:
I went to the Sprint Store and saw another EVO View 4G with HoneyComb loaded on it. Maybe Sprint sends the updates upon activation only.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Maine_Coon:
No.

You will get it thru WiFi - eventually.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] skdutta:
Any references to this comments? I am asking because, otherwise I will plan to root and load the ROM.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Maine_Coon:
If you wanna root, you don't want the OTA upgrade to HoneyComb.

Go to the View Development forum and learn how to make a rooted HC version.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] skdutta:
In that case I will probably wait. I saw Sprint has decided EOL for HTC View 4G.
