@WoZZeR999

To display navbar we need to edit some smali in android.policy.jar, i think.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] WoZZeR999:
Hmm, I'll look at the policy file, and see what differs from AOSP. There do seem to be a good amount of changes, so maybe it is here.

EDIT: At first glance, I don't see anything that would cause it (but I didn't look too deep).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sonicxml:
nope all you need to do is in framework-res.apk in /res/values/bools.xml, change the

<bool name="config_showNavigationBar">false</bool>

to

<bool name="config_showNavigationBar">true</bool>

the only problem is that we can't get the framework-res to decompile and recompile properly
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] joshw0000:
Downloading now...can't wait to try it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BlackDino:
Have you tried decompiling with 1.4.2 and recompiling with 1.4.3?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] koaaN:
Yepp, i have.. but get error all the time :( tried all ways
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] WoZZeR999:
I've gotten it to recompile fine, that's not the issue.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Qortez1:
So what's the overall differences between Pre-Beta 1 and Pre-Beta 2.1?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SteelToast:
So glad to see the new Pre-Beta! Looking forward to seeing a stable release!

Thanks koaaN, nello92 and the Vicious Team!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nello92:
pre beta 1 was based on nexus s port and have nexus s libs...pre beta 2.1 is based on Gnex/tuna/omap4 libs...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] michie:
KoaaN, check PM.

---------- Post added at 07:14 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:12 AM ----------

We already tried that and recompiled succesfully some pages back.

Nav bar didnt show up although all the code is there, checked it myself. (Could be because of workaround around the compiling errors though)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] michie:
Koaan, could you upload com.htc.resources.apk to mediafire too please ?

This is needed also for recompiling.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nello92:
I'll upload it as soon i come home
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] koaaN:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] joshw0000:
Would someone confirm the md5? I've downloaded twice and I'm getting c36dea83dd208804852b5689c7d2e4b6. For some reason I can't get it to boot past the htc screen. I probably just need to reflash but it'd be nice to know that I'm using a good download. Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] joshw0000:
I had the same issue with Root Explorer. Try moving the file to another folder and it should delete fine.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] michie:
Am still trying to recompile, got some tricks left to try :)

I get it to compile with errors like last time but as i already thought it doesnt save changes to the xml when i decompile again.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nello92:
trying to fix audio...the error in logcat is that libtinyalsa.so is missing....placed in /system/lib/ the lib and it won't boot...any idea? no more audio error but bootloop without animation (only black screen) and only a popup (unclickable) that says that system has stopped working :/

maybe some other missing lib that don't let system boot (related to audio)?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] koaaN:
I got it working, but stuck at bootanimation when i fix it :/
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] michie:
Koaan, am able to provide compiled sense 4 apk with softkeys enabled tomorrow evening. Found some great help, i will pm you and nello for testing tomorrow.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nello92:
tomorrow from 4 PM (italy time ;) ) i'll be on IRC :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] koaaN:
Awesome! But im not at home all day, so upload it and send the links in PM :)

Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] WoZZeR999:
Which file needed to be patched?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nello92:
sorry i have many things to study so i can't be on IRC today :( but if u want pm me or koaan and when we have time we will reply ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jjrudey:
I'll be keeping my eye on this. Any word on ports for the CDMA Nexus?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nello92:
When we make this more stable for GSM, CDMA users will get some sense love...but the answer was written many times in the thread...pls read it before ask any question!! ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] michie:
Nello,

You can remove the text about decompiling for softkeys in the OP.

It's succesfully decompiled/edited/recompiled but no softkeys as of yet. We are working on it :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Waza_Be:
I don't want to be rude, but wouldn't it be better to install one of these apk in the Rom and focus on more important things like wifi?

That might be a great workaround and will let you improve other things that can be fixed more easily?

Any News?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gdmlaz:
I find this thing 2 funny..... Coming from the t989 galaxy s2 from tmobile where every1 complains about twiz and is dying for a clean ics version..... and here we have devs trying to get twiz on the nexus lol....... Don't get me wrong more options for every1 thats the good thing about xda we could flash whatever we want into our phone weather some hate it or some love it....... I just find it funny coming from one part of the forum to the other how we are all looking for different things lol
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hp13:
i agree.. i got ridd off my galaxy s2 and got nexus back in february..that forum people hated touchwiz and wanted a clean UI but here its opposite.. no offence to anyone..

its just FUNNY
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lockfolder:
it's about sense, noone wants the f*cking touchwiz :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] freemini:
For the guys that didn't experience Samsung's amazing implementation of ICS, known as TouchWiz..it's terrible. I don't think it adds anything at all to ICS. They tried to make it look as much as GB as possible. I didn't use Sense at all, so I don't know how that is, but I want Sense not TouchWiz.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Jensa76:
Its all about options ;-)

Skickat från min Galaxy Nexus via Tapatalk 2
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TheSobadef:
Well as terrible as it may be, it had some mighty fine codec support, so I agree that options are nice!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] michie:
Well enabeling the softkeys was not as simple as just enabling it in framework, we have to look further. As of now not many people are working on this and certainly not fulltime so progress is very slow.

BUT we are working on it! :)

Had framework-res to decompile/compile succesfully but now systemui is being a *****.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Bavilo:
Didn't you guys already enable softkeys? That one centered "Menu" key...

That's all you'll get...since the phone has hardware buttons...I think you guys need to somehow code the other softkeys...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nello92:
nexus s have hardware buttons too but u can enable softkeys on it...we have only to find the right line xD
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] michie:
And thats what im doing ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nello92:
really? :) awesome :) when u can come on IRC and we can talk about that :)

(not today i'm studying :( )
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] koaaN:
Think im gonna stop develope for a while..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nello92:
why? :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] koaaN:
Just check out what the korean guy did
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nello92:
i've seen it...but don't look at it...he don't have community spirit --'

we can take his build and make it perfect ;) just camcoder to fix and then make it the best daily port ever :)

u haven't to stop develop cause someone use ur work without say thx...

u just have to make yours better then his!!!! so he will disappear :D

don't surrend now u are a great dev!!! it will be a waste of talent if u stop :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] koaaN:
I wont stop, just wont upload things until they are PERFECT
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nello92:
i'll agree with u...so people won't stop ask and u can work better...just...if u want...pls can i continue to develop with u? i'm learning so many thing with u and i can help if u want...just keep in contact :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Waza_Be:
Yes, and during this time, people will download the version from the stealer because they need wifi...

That will give him some importance, maybe also money, and I don't want that to happen, you are THE man.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] koaaN:
Uploading a new release (RC1) and it has WiFi ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] smoki3:
Sense build?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] koaaN:
No, sorry.. Timescape :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] smoki3:
Pity
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nello92:
these are words man!!!!! :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] koaaN:
Not sense though, Timescape ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nello92:
doesn't matter :) i like that u continue to develop xD
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lockfolder:
:mad: we want sense man ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nello92:
i hope u were joking
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SteelToast:
I believe to port a fully functioning build of sense onto a non HTC phone, radical changes at the kernel level will be required. (e.g. device drivers).

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nello92:
u don't say? :D

;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SteelToast:
What I mean is that Sense is the hardest to port when compared to other skins like Timescape.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nello92:
we know...but we'll make this work :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] idkwhothatis123:
Sooooo koann... About that lte port for the timescape.... ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] fordstang99:
Pretty excited about sense 4....
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] seakins:
Me too! After flashing sense 4 on my wifes Sensation, I was really surprised at how skinned HTC have made sense 4. Really nice compared to Sense 3.6.

Good luck on this ROM, i'll be watching closely and ready to flash! :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tids2k:
hey koaan .. i am here to support you :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] speedfreak228:
Please don't abandon sense port. If you do I might have to ditch the nexus for a new HTC
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Neejay:
I'm kinda shocked more people don't want the TouchWiz port. lol

I've heard quite a few people that actually LIKE it (including 2 friends of mine), so I'm anticipating at least being able to test it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 15israellai:
My friend used to hate Samsung software but he just said TouchWiz is very good lol...I think he was joking

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Waza_Be:
personally, I am waiting the Sense port, because that's the only one with extra Exchange policies that would allow me to read corporate email...

Google does not want to add them, HTC dit it...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] littlegreen:
Since I got my HTC HD2 stolen(WTF?!?!?!!?) I've been roaming around with this 8-years-old phone wondering what my next smartphone will be.

If you guys get this thing up and running I swear I'll buy a Nexus! The only thing that keeps me from buying a Samsung phone is it doesn't have Sense... I'm willing to donate money for the project!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] joshw0000:
I've used Exchange on every phone I've owned....HTC, Moto, LG, and Samsung. What Exchange policies are you refering to? Maybe your company has tighter restrictions than mine.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] michie:
Nello, check PM.

I got apktools to compile and decompile everything i want, need you to test what i have atm.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] qballe:
sorted out the same problem with :

https://play.google.com/store/apps/...DEwMiwiY29tLm5pdHJvZGVzay50b3VjaGRvd25wcm8iXQ..

I know , 15€ :(

I work with exchange and I had a problem with some business configuration and some rom ( for eg. CM6.1 on desire or Samsung galaxy 1 ) .

sorry for OT.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] michie:
To clarify here why we dont just have the HTC softkeys in the rom like all htc devices :

The softkeys of the GNEX are are implemented and controlled (In android itself) by the components in System UI with all other corresponding .xml files (dimens, bools etc in framework-res).

The softkeys for htc devices however, are displayed outside the touchscreen and are controlled by the kernel/drivers that translate your fingertouch on the softkeys to android (Linux) code in the key layout xml. (We dont have those drivers / kernel)

So now i have apktools finally doing what i want i can finally modify the xmls and recompile without errors trying to display the virtual softkeys of the GNEX.

All google code is still there + corresponding PNG's.

Will this help with your issues http://www.xda-developers.com/android/fix-your-compile-errors-on-sense-4-0-framework-res-apk/ ?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] michie:
We dont have any problems compiling/decompiling anymore and yes its the trick we use too.

Thanks for the info anyway ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] WoZZeR999:
So it seems that Sense ignores mShowNavigationBar from framework-res.apk. I'm trying to force the value in android.policy.jar right now. Hopefully I'm on to something.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Waza_Be:
I guess there is some "intelligence" that display the bar only when the Menu button is needed, I guess that might be more complicated than simply changing some values...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] WoZZeR999:
Yeah, there is a lot of 'hide navbar code', what I hoped had worked, didn't. So I'm not sure where to go from here.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] azndan2:
Hi guys, CDMA user here. Just want to give some encouragement. We are all looking forward to seeing your work.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] michie:
We can code them in but its not easy if you cannot work from source.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lockfolder:
thanks for your efforts guys, but why dont you focus on fixing wifi und data and make the rom more stable. the navigation bar isnt big deal - there is button savior und other apps, which make a good job replacing the soft keys
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Life Engineer:
WAWWW!

Hi guys!

I just want to tell you that i have bought the phone today just after seeing this thread yesterday!

In fact i trade it with my galaxy s 2!:o:p

The s 2 is great but development is sooooo boring and nothing special!!

Besides i adore sense however i can't afford now the new One X to have sense 4 on HD!!!

So you are our hope guys!!

Thanks a lot and keep up the good work!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] michie:
You have to remember we are a small team atm, button savior isnt doing a great job, it crashes alot and everything we tried to get the softkeys is piece of cake.

It just takes so long as we are not working full time on the project.

We sure could use some more help :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nello92:
Htc releases one v sense 4 kernel...maybe this can help
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] michie:
We need to modify sense source code so i will have to check if the Open Sense SDK supports sense 4 already
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nello92:
Paul released CDMA version on rootzwiki...

He will work harder on this...updates will be paired on both versions now
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SteelToast:
Thanks for this update. Will we get to his updates for the GSM version posted here?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nello92:
just read what u have quoted....I will take updates that he makes on CDMA and put here...and he will do the same
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SteelToast:
Ah ok, your intial post was a bit unclear as to where the updates to GSM version will be posted. Thanks for clarification :o
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] robi_90:
any chance that this will work on the galaxy s2?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mystichobo:
None at all.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nello92:
that's not true...we can work on sgs2 too if we want....but we have 4 ports in progress...we cannot work on sgs2 too for now...when we have this working maybe we can try port on sgs2 ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xboxfanj:
I think he was asking if the zip here would work on the sgs2 and not if you guys would work on the sgs2. There is absolutely zero chance that the galaxy nexus rom zip would work on sgsii.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] robi_90:
i think it will be a great think!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mystichobo:
I interpreted the question as being "will this current update.zip work on the gs2?"

Which it won't.

I follow @Paullie_Vicious for the lastest news on Vicious Sense ROM. I agree that he works on the CDMA build of it, but at least we get some kind of news... As of his latest tweets, he is working on getting Rosie (Sense launcher) to work as well getting the device to stay booted...

A quick [Q] You said, that the ViciousWiz won't pass the Google Logo, right?

It was booting, on my GNex and was just constantly rebooting (Not a bootloop, but constantly checking and restarting the DVM).

If you want, I could have a look, at the system files, and see what I can do :)

To the Sense version: It deleted my CWM recovery lol ^^ It had the stock recovery ( The one with the: *!* )
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] koaaN:
I know this, nello is just wrong with the information :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nello92:
don't think that sense deletes CWM...it don't touch the /recovery partition i think u make some disasters :P

if u can take a look at touchwiz will be appreciated :) all the help is appreciated :)

I just wanted to know if there is an official Twitter account or Google plus from one of the developer...

Following this thread is really hard, as there are always request but no official annoucement on the current status....

I also would like to work a little bit on this ROM and bring my 2 cents, but would be usefull to know who is working on what and what have already been tried, so I won't waste some precious time on some things that have already been done before.

I'll take a look, once I have got enough work done :D

I'll post my (hopefully) fixed link, tonight, I hope :D

I'm going to be needing some testers, tough ^^ Please PM me, if you are interested :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Waza_Be:
Just a question to all the awesome people here:

As HTC seems to have done something great by adding some exchange policies to their email app, I am really interested in this Sense port.

But, as the ROM is not ready yet (I proposed my help by MP to familiguy59) I really would like to know if someone know if we can extract the email.apk of HTC sense and make it work on a stock ROM.

I guess we will need a Sense ROM, but is there already some works done in this direction?

Thank a lot!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Beatsleigher:
i just repackaged it!

I replaced the WiFi binaries, with binaries, where I know, that they will work :) So they should work ^^

I've added some fonts ^^

I changed the Build.PROP content. The device brand is now: Beatsleigher/KoaaN

Product name has also been changed to: ViciousWiz :D

Heapgrowth size has been widened to 256 MB (This should allow the machine to run more stable and work faster )

Added the Apex launcher (Incase you want to switch around, or don't like the TWLauncher...

Changed the libs a bit...

I'm backing my ROM up now, to then flash the TWROM. I'll post the result, once I'm done :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nello92:
Build.prop changed will broke market I think...ty for all the work but...why make a touchwiz rom without touchwiz launcher? U can use apex with every ics rom
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Beatsleigher:
Both launchers are in there :) I put both in, in case they don't like the launcher, yet everything else, that is TW :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Neejay:
Are you saying that it's at least booting now (all the way in)? Or just speaking in preliminary terms?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Beatsleigher:
Well, to to raise excitement, it booted for a second :D

So, that means, I'm on the right way :)

I'll let you know, when it reaches the lockscreen, for longer than 5 seconds. Or better, if it reaches the setup wizard :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nello92:
try delete setup wizard and see if u reach the home...in sense that gives us problems
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Drzfr3shboialex:
a full working sense would be awesome on the nexus, can't wait to buy it :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Beatsleigher:
No, it won't do anything to the market ^^ I extracted the build.PROP from a different ROM, for the GNex, and changed everything.. Nothing happened ^^ :D

Now that sounds good ...:D
