[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crump84:
I'm pretty sure Supreme Sense has a apps 2 sd version, so you could easily utilize your sd-ext.

As far as the lock screen, I'm not sure. I haven't used supreme so i don't know if it has miktweaks, or if miktweaks even offers that option. You could try removing the lockscreen altogether, but again not sure if that would work

As far as Kernels, you have 2 options with Sense.. Either Dodge or x99's kernel. Both are solid and i think are more about personal preference. My suggestion would be to try both and see which works best for you.
[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prboy1969:
Supreme Sense v9.1 has an A2SD version. Both Supreme Sense and MikShifted G have MikTweaks. Yes in MikTweaks you have an option to choose what Lockdscreen you use. The 3.0 LS , ICS LS , Stock Android LS. Also a BUNCH of other tweaks. If you want to keep your A2SD dodge's kernel is your choice. Because I believe x99's is not A2SD enabled.

[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmags:
Thanks for the info guys, I definitely want a2sd, so I'll use 9.1 with Dodge's kernel. I'm guessing I won't be able to keep my apps on it though, and will need to format the partition clean. But hopefully titanium backup will be able to restore them back to the new ext partition.

The Miktweaks for lockscreen customization sound cool but what I need is that the phone does not lock when you turn off the screen. So when you turn it back on, you're right there in the launcher (or whatever other app was open when you turned off the screen). Yes, the likelyhood of accidental screen presses increases, but I modify the keypad.kl fileso that only the power button wakes the screen and its kinda hard to accidentally press on this phone. It works well for me.

However, I'm open to any other potential solutions to not have to enter a password each time i open the phone, when there is a security policy in place on the phone.
[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hamagc:
nolock in the market disables lock screen. May be along the lines of what your looking for.
[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmags:
I just tried this, and it doesn't seem to work in CM7, but that doesn't mean it won't work in SS. I thought I had tried it and it only disabled the lockscreen but left the password screen intact, but the help seems to indicate that you can't enter a password when its functioning, so maybe this will work. Thanks for the input, I'll be trying this out in the next day or two.
[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prboy1969:
NoLock should work on Supreme Sense, or MikShifted G. If not you can always remove the Lockscreen apk.
[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmags:
Interesting idea, is the password entry also within the lockscreen apk? I wonder if that would trick the security policy, or if the policy would fail due to an inability to confirm that the password is enabled and up to snuff.
[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prboy1969:
Not sure :(
[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hamagc:
works on ssv9.1 no clue about the securities though.
[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sparksco:
Btw in the first post it says no update on cm7 in 4 months. Not true? There's a couple of new cm7 roms out. Sure they aren't nightlies but they are from the latest changes in the source code with a few cherry-picks in them.
[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmags:
Are these CM7 or CM7-based roms? I was talking about CM7 directly from cyanogenmod.com, where the latest build was the nightly 255 version, from 11/16/11.

But I had been waiting since version 140 or so when i started playing around with CM7 for the GPS to work properly, and it always worked fine in stock Sense, so I figure I'll try a Sense rom for a while.

BTW, the SS9.1 a2sd version says to format a 512mb ext partition. I already have a 1gb partition - will it use it or complain about it not being the right size? The zip is downloading now.
[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] YoungCorruptionV2.0:
the 512 is more of just a minimum 1 gb will work fine
[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmags:
Thanks, I figured as much. Just sanity checking. ;)
[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prboy1969:
I have a 2GB partition. I don't usually have a lot of apps, but I only wanted to partition once. Not that I'll run out of space any time soon with a 32GB card :p.

Xplod

Well if you want an Alternate rom from CM7 try Xplod , I can't post a link because I'm just a newb, so just Google, Xplod Shift Rom, then download it :D

Sorry if my post doesn't help at all..
[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmags:
So I've got ss 9.1 and dodge kernel installed, most apps back running, and my work email synced, but both Nolock and No Lock Screen fail to prevent the phone from locking. It seemed that when I restored nolock from titanium backup, it worked for a while but when the security policy was enabled it stopped. Anyone beat a security policy like this?

Also, I have root access (can change cpu speeds etc) but for some reason, I can't get rootexplorer to mount any system directories r/w...?

Sent from my Evo Shift running CM7 via the XDA app
[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmags:
Confirmed, if I disable the security policy (and remove access to my work mail), No Lock works fine to prevent the lockscreen, but once the policy is re-enabled, the lockscreen forces itself regardless of the No Lock setting.

I did find that I can change the password lock timeout to up to 30 mins, which is a bit better, but still not perfect. I can also set the phone not to sleep while plugged in, but then it charges a little slower.

Is there any way to figure out how CM7 does it? It seems like the *only* thing that worked... :mad:

Also, still confused on the r/w access. I discovered that I can go into miktweaks and mount /system as r/w and then open my rootexplorer to access files, but can't do it from rootexplorer directly...?

As i see you are the best!!!

So i was wondering if you could transfer android to vivaz pro!!

(if there is memory problem, you may fix it to be in a MS)

thanks in advance!!!!!!:)
[General Questions and Answers] xHackell:
doesnt seems lyk thr's dev motivated...

in theory its possible and not possible.

possible - hardware haf reached the requirements

not possible - 75mb of phone memory aint enof for android(can be countered by installing it on SD)+bootloader

thr's just no

!

EDIT:I ASSUME VIVAZ AND VIVAZ PRO IS IDENTICAL(hardware expect keyboard and camera)

[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] MeeGz:
I'd like to flash my Vivid with the new Rum Float ROM and from what I gather; now that a RUU is available it should be fairly easy. I.bought the phone last Thursday and haven't had a chance to grab a SD card. I just want to make sure that I fully understand the process involved. I've read a number of posts here at XDA and elsewhere but I still have a few questions to make sure my knowledge is solid and I don't end up with an HTC paperweight! A) Will the Android market will have a record of what I have already dl'd so I can dl it again? B) Is using the RUU executable fairly simple? Should I do the BL UL before I restore?(I would like root, so I'm assuming that this is one of the first steps!) C) Is it a simple follow the instructions sort of thing with the RUU? D) Will "frigid's" "supertool" method to get root work in this instance or do I need to use CWM? E) I'm using an AT&T Vivid could somebody give me a simple step by step(not in detail, but if you could that would be great!) Such as "1- Do BL UL, 2- Run supertool for root, 3 - Run RUU, etc, etc, etc

Also there appears to be a sense and a NONSense version of the ROM, are they both included in the RUU exe file? And for the NONSense version will there be any difference in stability, performance, you acceleration, etc?

Thanks for any info in advanced!

-MeeGz-
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Pirateghost:
The RUU DOES NOT CONTAIN MY ROM. It is an official tool used by HTC for upgrading and returning to stock.

Android market will keep tabs on purchased apps. It will not keep track of free apps.

You need an sdcard to keep safe.

The RUU is easy to run. Its just an exe. Follow the on-screen prompts.

I don't know what you are trying to restore but it would appear you have your terminology and methods all mixed up.

RUU will get you a stock ics. And it will wipe your apps and settings. It will act like a phone you just pulled out of the box with ics.

In order to run rum float (or any aftermarket rom) you need to unlock your bootloader. Rooting has nothing to do with it. Unlock bl then flash recovery on then flash rom and kernel.

Your steps as you perceive them are slightly off. I don't recommend you do anything to your phone right now.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] strose09:
After you complete the RUU you'd have to go to htc.dev and unlock your bootloader. After you can fastboot flash a recovery and CWM with root. After that's complete you can flash a rom of your choice. I'd get familiar with using fastboot commands in ADB (command prompt). I guess you can use the supertool to root but it isn't necessary really a matter of preference. Check out the superguide. Maybe PG or someone can update it with specific steps if you are using the RUU but the process is the same. It starts with the unlocking the bootloader. Definitely pick up an SD card!
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] MeeGz:
Thanks for the quick replies and the clarification. I think I get it now, I would do the following to get to a rooted custom ICS Rom: Unlock the boot loader, root and run titanium backup to save my apps(using an ad card), run the RUU and get to stock HTC ics, copy ROM to sd card, re-root, download and run CWM, root again and restore apps with titanium backup, enjoy!

The only things that may be a bit off in that process is running the RUU as I don't need that to just flash a custom ROM, assuming said ROM includes the ICS kernel. If did have to use the RUU would I have to re-root to run cwm? Also the actual ROM itself is installed from HBoot, correct?

Sorry if these sound like dumb questions, I'm just new at this. I really appreciate the replies. I'm sure I will pick this up fairly quickly as I have years of linux & OS X command line experience and am well versed with c. It's just kind of information overload on this board as there is such a wealth and variety of info here!

Thanks again,

-MeeGz-
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] megatronisabeast:
So you can run the ruu.exe even if you are rooted, unlocked bootloader, on att stock? Or do you have have to relock bootloader to proceed with the ruu?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] strose09:
RUU is for stock roms IIRC. If you are rooted and already unlocked I'd use the original method PG and Thecubed created.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Pirateghost:
back on my computer for a little better explanation.

the RUU or the methods that thecubed and i have laid out will get you the necessary HBOOT/RADIO/etc that you will need to flash a custom ICS rom

either method will get you the same thing....an updated HBOOT and ICS

if you run the bootloader unlock tool from htcdev, YOU WILL LOSE ALL YOUR SETTINGS! it will wipe the device like its brand new......do NOT include this in your dreams of getting backups prior to flashing a custom rom....

please just read through the posts and understand what is going on.

in order for ICS to happen on your vivid you need the new HBOOT, Radio, and various other components that the RUU/PH39IMG contain

there are 3 different roads you can follow to get there, the EASIEST being just run the RUU (WHICH WILL ALSO WIPE SETTINGS!), afterwards, reboot to bootloader, unlock bootloader, reboot to fastboot, fastboot flash the boot.img and the recovery.img of your choice on (limited on boot.img's at the moment, better use the one from the rom), reboot to recovery and flash the rom

the other methods imply you understand somewhat how the process works.

relock bootloader (if unlocked), run PH39IMG install, unlock bootloader, fastboot flash recovery and boot.img, reboot to recovery and flash rom.....

if you wrap your head around HOW it works, its all really simple....so the first step is understanding HOW it works, not blindly following some tutorial or walkthrough.

please try to LEARN and UNDERSTAND what it is you are doing....

PS. you have involved ROOTING too many times in your post...... the rom is already ROOTED, you dont have to ROOT to unlock, flash rom or anything....ROOTING is only applicable INSIDE the booted OPERATING SYSTEM, and has nothing to do with recovery/bootloader
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Pirateghost:
i feel i need to apologize to the board here.

frustrations were not directed at the OP of this thread, just in general....

i have been inundated with PM's and seeing the same barrage of questions for the last few days on the forum....

i can understand everyone's excitement...hell i was excited to get this too.

but you all need to read, and try to take it all in before attempting anything. sometimes those of us that understand whats going on, dont explain in a whole lot of detail, because we take the knowledge for granted, and assume if you are on this site, you are here to learn. it is frustrating to see the same questions pop up on nearly an hourly basis...

all i ask is that you take forth the effort to learn how these tools of ours work and understand that a lot of us working on things like this rely on you guys to assist each other in the process. that leaves us more time to deal with what we need to deal with and try and fix and squash bugs/processes/etc.

in return i apologize if i seem on edge the last couple of days...its because i am. if you can imagine one question multiplied by a hundred.....and having people freaking out about them 'bricking'.....after being warned its possible, but unlikely. i think most of these 'bricks' are salvageable and just require someone that understands how they work.

sorry to seem like an ass, but mainly its because i am an ass, and i have a hard time being nice most of the time.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] megatronisabeast:
Thanks pirateghost. I understand how to do the other methods but wanted to use something less complicated with less risk for user error. I read and read everything that is posted on the forums. I try not to ask a question unless I am not understanding what has been posted. Thanks for your patience and understanding.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] joshua54:
PG, so im pretty sure i "bricked" it lol. im not upset as it was entirely my fault, just wondering if there is any way to get this mother to turn on? i know that when i plug it into the computer it recognizes it but not as anything i have seen lol..if i can find the correct drivers can this be reversed?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Samizdat:
Thanks

Thanks to PG for everything and the instructions. I thought I had bricked my phone, but theCube was able to help me on IRC, which is where I suggest anybody go for real-time assistance.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Dxtra:
This could off all been avoided with step by step Detail instruction. Why? Well example , I don't follow this forum at all never had an HTC phone but my wife's phone the vivid. All my phone has been Nexus and the galaxy line from Samsung, things over there are a bit different. All I did was flash the ph.img and then after not seen the device reboot I wipe/factory reset and all when to hell from there. Couldn't unlock the bootloader or reboot the phone. How could this happen? Assuming that people should know the basic is wrong. I'm not in any way blaming anyone I did this own my on risk but at the same time I'm super mad had to buy a new phone. As developer you should eliminate all threats and post a details instructions step by step with do's and don't before posting firmwares.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] formicae:
As a user, you should understand the risks/benefits of the things you download. The devs are under no obligation to keep you from bricking your phone, and to be fair, most everything is covered in the Superguide and the various ROM threads. Even if someone were to post a file called NOT_A_VIRUS.EXE and you downloaded it and it wiped your computer when you ran it, the responsibility is squarely on your shoulders.

As far as I remember, there is no dev/user contract and they're not getting paid for any of this.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Pirateghost:
oh?

am i being paid to do a job here?

i gave instructions based on how *I* got it to work and duplicated the procedure several times. so its MY responsibility to try and find a way to brick my phone for you?

an RUU cant brick your phone.....however, being a retard can.

this is the type of attitude i would expect my boss to have, if i screwed up a project....but alas, i am here out of my own free will.....

if this is how you feel, then you should get the F off this site.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] MeeGz:
I totally 100% agree with you. If you HAVE taken the time to read and are still a bit confused, ask! For me I'm not even a week into this platform and I WILL NOT do anything that I don't entirely understand. The problem with android, if you could even call it a problem, is that there is such a huge variety of handsets and a big variety methods for doing this, that, and the other thing. It basically results in a non-linear process to get from point A to point B. It's imperative to understand the basic proceedures. If you were here since the G1, great, you've been able to.follow things from the start. I've used iOS for years, and I still love it btw.(only jailbroken of course!) I'll probably buy an iPad 3! The software is integrated with the hardware amazingly well, battery life is phenomenal, and ONCE JAILBROKEN, iOS is an excellent platform. Sure the "spec numbers" may not be as high but it boils down to.performance. That has always been great for me, obviously battery life is exceptional on apple devices as well. I'm hoping with a rooted ICS Rom there won't be cpu-time hogging processes and ill be able to adjust other things accordingly to get somewhat better battery life. I really wish each OEM would take the time to optimize the SW that they're using to the HW that they're selling. B/C from what I've seen the "Nexus" devices generally perform extremely well, even.against higher spec'd devices. So far I'm loving Android and my Vivid. I love the freedom that I get even on a non-rooted device! It's an excellent platform. Flexible, dynamic, and personal. Customization is there from the get-go. There are a million different things that one could do, even while staying un-rooted. The only reason that I've waited so long to get on board with android is ibwas waiting for it to grow and mature, if I could have a device that tri-booted Android, iOS, and WebOS I'd be a very happy person. I love using multiple platforms.

PG - I'm sorry if I bothered you, thanks for the great info though!

I think knowledge-wise I'm at a point where I'm not going to brick my phone. Wish me luck!
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] MeeGz:
Seriously if that is how you feel do get the f*ck off this site please. The devs in all mobile hacking communities are unpaid and do it for fun. You sir are a prime example of WHY THEY LEAVE!!! IF YOU DON'T KNOW AND HAVE READ, ASK, DON'T BE A ****!!!
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] MeeGz:
REALLY? You want the UNNPAID DEV'S TO REMOVE ALL THREATS?!?!?! FROM WHAT IS BASICALLY OSS AND A FIRMWARE THAT SOMEBODY DL'D? REALLY? These guys take a FW and cook it into a ROM for FREE and just b/c you didn't take the time to understand it you're gonna put it on them? WTF?!?!?!?

i'll make him a deal. next time we get a hold of something like this, i will let him figure out how to get it on his phone....i don't have to share how...
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Red5:
You know, its users like you that get Devs frustrated and not want to share the work that they have accomplished. XDA is a site for Devs, its not a WalMart that people can stop by and expect to be spoonfed and be on their merry way. Pirateghost is a very talented Dev who wanted to share something with this community, and instead of saying "thank you" you decide to look a the glass as half empty instead of half full and EXPECT MORE from him?

Reading your post, it tells me that you dont frequent the HTC forums at all, and instead of reading up, you just decided to flash. Just because it didnt go as smoothly as you thought it would is NO REASON to tell a Dev that they needed to do more. That part lays on you.

Next time you decide to tell a Dev that "they need to do more" I think you need to do more reading so it prevents you from having to buy a new phone. If it dosent make sense to you or you dont think theres enough documentation/step-by-step instructions YOU HAVE THE POWER TO SAY NO AND NOT FLASH IT.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] creasy425:
Uh, there's a reason every single solitary dev puts a disclaimer on their ROM threads. Their work, if directions are not followed to the letter can turn your device into a +/- 200$ paperweight. I've been lurking around these forums for a hot minute, rarely post ( not an ounce of dev skill being the main reason), and really, when's the last time a dev didn't post at least semi detailed instructions to go along with his/her OP.

@pirateghost- bought a vivid literally 12 hours ago, got home, saw your thread, FOLLOWED THE DIRECTIONS CAREFULLY, and now have ICS on my device. Just wanted to say thanks.

And now for the most epic noob question of all time. Wth is RUU? I'm very familiar with flashing roms, cam, tibu, etc from my days on the sgsII SR forums. So most if not all HTC terminology is new to me.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Dxtra:
Believe me I would never flash anything from you ever again, the fact that you don't care how many devices you brick with your half ass instruction is enough for me to look the other way.
