But this isn't a sense 3.6 Rom - its a 4.0a Rom?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] nickeedoo:
I would also like to know this. Can we use the camera libs from the andromadus rom to get camera working in here or is it substantially different?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] barclays:
They're both on ICS :rolleyes:
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] johrie:
If that was the way it worked then we could have sense widgets on aosp xd

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] zoot1:
Maybe we can have a look at Sense 3.5 GB camera drivers and use them in the same way as GB camera drivers were used in early ICS aosp builds....but i'm not sure...:o
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] crestofawave:
We're talking about two different frameworks. Sense 3.x and 4.0 that is. It's highly unlikely that it'll work. Well, camera is probably a different case as this is not AOSP, and considering that the One series has a new image chip, in which the camera framework was built around, it may be a lot more of a challenge to deal with. Either way the Camera issue (if it exists) will most likely be addressed when the Desire HD/S are also updated to ICS.

HTC Delivers ICS Kernel Source Code for the Sensation, Sensation XE and Vivid

I think this can us help or ? :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] crestofawave:
Well...None of these phones have similar attributes to the Desire Z, so I would guess not.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] VaderSKN:
LOL... I have an equalizer, works on this cool ROM, it's called volume+, just set the eq to Beats emulation and you got Beats like sound.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] =JKT=:
I could have sworn beats was working on mkwm's pre-beta-3 build...am I mistaken?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] masterismos:
i think the beats are working anly with hands free. im sure beats works with poweramp if you choose the beats option.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] xT4Z1N4TRx:
it says beats are on, but there's no difference
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] evilcuber:
Beta 4 :D?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] =JKT=:
Yeah, I for sure hear no difference with it on or off now, but I thought I did before. but I'm probably mistaken lol.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] philippecr:
Tested it out yesterday nite.

Am I the only one that feels that tis version of Sense4 has many stuffs missing/less polished? All those 3D stuffs are gone and Sense weather looks quite lame now... or mayb it's a leak rom?

But generally, it's a good port. :D
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] :
This is a lite version for single core/low memory devices, so it has less eye candy, but is also really fast and smooth. Something for something, I guess.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] =JKT=:
It's an intentional move by HTC to create a more affordable device with modest specs that can still run ICS sense. I think it's a great move forward, though it might feel like a step back; there was obviously some really efficient coding done compared to sense 3.x
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] theone10:
I like this sense. And it runs very fast at 921 MHz on my phone and the battery is ok too. It last about 8 hours for me mod use.

Comming from Miui I miss the lock screen flashlight :(

I think once the keyboard like works it will be perfect. The camera is the only other :)

I tired sense 3.5 on gb and it run slow at time ( that was while a go using unity)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] magic_android:
Does the FN key work for typing symbols and other characters on the hardware keyboard? It wasn't working on the other Sense 4.0 ROM, so if it's working with this one, i'll definitely give this ROM a shot.

Edit: Sorry for not reading more carefully, i saw a few pages back that someone mentioned that the FN key DOES work, so i'll be flashing this very soon then :).
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] =JKT=:
I'd say get widget locker, and you'll never wish for another lockscreen...cuz you can have it!

BUT the flashlight doesn't work on this rom anyway. I think it's part of the camera issue. When the camera is resolved, the flash probably will be too.

BUT when it does work, with widget locker you can set up your lockscreen to turn the led on and off (and no more needing to *hold* home down the whole time ;) )
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] almostthere:
Funny you guys might mention it but eventhough camera does't work (yet) but the flash light works using htc's torch app.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] theone10:
I know that works lol. In miui v4 the flash light worked too .
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] almostthere:
I know....was referring to the 1st quoted
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] magic_android:
I don't quite understand how this has happened, but for some reason, i'm missing ALL the HTC widgets from the "personalise" menu. I wanted to just add the weather widget to my homescreen, but all the HTC widgets are gone and instead, all i can see are the widgets of apps i've installed.

I did a clean install of this ROM, i did a full wipe and then ran a superwipe as well, i also installed the google apps that were linked earlier because i couldn't find gmail in marke....play store.

I also deleted apps like facebook and twitter and friendstream from /system/app as i never use these apps on my phone and i enjoy having more free RAM.

The strange thing now is that, the HTC widget .apk files are actually still in /system/app, but they simply do not show up when i try to place them on the home screen through the new widget menu.

Could someone help me out?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ArmedandDangerous:
Deleted...wrong thread...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] magic_android:
I just wanna say, i fixed my problem that i mentioned in my previous post. I'm absolutely LOVING this ROM, it's as if i have a new phone now. I can't believe how smooth it is, this ROM is just WOW!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] bogdan5844:
Mind telling us how you managed to fix it ? I don't currently use this ROM but maybe someone else has the same problem. :-)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] xT4Z1N4TRx:
Ok ladies I'm gunna update it to beta 4.... its gunna have a new base and what I promised above. Just gotta wait on mkwm to deodex it
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] magic_android:
Sure, no problem.

For people who can't see any of HTC's widgets in the "personalise" menu, just clear the data of the launcher through Settings-->Apps, stop the process and let the launcher reload with the default settings. This fixed the problem for me as it allowed me to use all the HTC widgets again.

---------- Post added at 06:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:59 PM ----------

Also, taz, you mentioned you'll be using a new base in the next update, does that mean we'd have to do a full wipe?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Steven How:
In this Rom the when,scrolling homescreen is the widget is in 3d or 2d?

:confused:
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] magic_android:
The scrolling animation is sort of like a 3d cube but the widgets are 2d
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Steven How:
Thx :rolleyes:

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] a.s.j:
BTW: Is it just me or... "Trackball" (touchpad) press does not do anything? I guess that could be another "guess I do not have that hardware" problem or is it just mapping missing? Because sliding works and finaly sense UI does have the moving cursor instead of only switching panes :D

What do you guys think?

Sometimes I feel like I am invisible here :D Noone ever reacts to my ideas :D But hey, guys, I am trying to work with you :D
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] crazyC:
Yes - what is with the funny little cursor?

Anyone here tried supercharger v6 on this rom? Can't seem to get it to stick
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] crazyC:
I haven't tried it, but did you follow the special instructions for ICS on patching the services.jar?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] almostthere:
Yep I did but the OOM doesn't seem to stick. Maybe need .rc file too but for the life of me don't know where to look for it as this ROM's file structure under /system/etc isn't the same
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] magic_android:
I don't think this ROM really even needs to be supercharged, if you just debloat the /system/app directory, you can gain a lot more free RAM. With about 4 or 5 apps open at once, i have about 120mb of free RAM.

That said, if there was a way to make this ROM, EVEN faster, i'd go for it xD.

Unable to connect via USB?

Is anyone else having trouble connecting Beta3 to their PC via USB?

I've tried different cables & different USB ports but still no luck?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ChristianFS1:
That is a common issue with alot of custom ICS roms out there. you can do one of the following options:

1: toggle "USB storage" in recovery. or,

2: get a usb mounting app. i don't know how well they work though.

hope i've helped you out ! :D
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] :
This rom works best with modded services.jar (I have used the blk_jack's website), but with default minfrees (without running the supercharger script).
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] penguin20000:
Yup mass storage mode basically. It's no real biggie as I have a card reader I can put my SD card into, just a small pain.

Other than that this ROM is awesome. Eagerly waiting for Beta4 :) I may even be able to host a mirror when it's live.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] magic_android:
I just use airdroid to transfer files to my phone over wifi, it's actually really fast and sometimes it's actually faster than transferring files over USB. Airdroid never ceases to be an awesome app.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] penguin20000:
Do you know what, I completely forgot about airdroid! Before I flashed I had a Tasker profile that auto enabled wifi & turned Airdroid on when docked :). Just haven't got around to setting that kind of stuff up yet.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] evilcuber:
If supercharger oom values dont stick, you can try to use the app autokiller memory optimizer which essentially does the same thing as supercharger
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] magic_android:
Well, at least now you know where you can start from again haha. I got used to using airdroid because a while ago, i created a swap file on my sd card and that broke all mass storage functionality with windows. I managed to fix that problem eventually but for the time that it wasn't working, i used airdroid for all file transfers xD.

I'd highly recommend airdroid to other people using this ROM for file transfers and what-not.

Hah, I'm dumb! I didn't even see it because I was looking for "torch" but it was named "flashlight" hahaha

No other torch-like app from the market seems to work, anyway. But I guess that's useless info now.

Wow what an amazing app, thanks for the tip!!

Yeah, file transfers are the least of its capabilities, i've been using it for months and it's the best app of its kind that i've seen. More people should know about it.

Are you sure you set the Api level for ICS for deodexing? (--api-level / -a) I am certain the right value is 15 and MUST be set for ICS compatibility.

Will it be possible to keep the 3D rosie scrolling? It looks that the new base is using an old 2.1 scroll.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Rosco911:
Cant wait for Beta 4.... as of now I only have 2 issues, the phone keeps telling me i dont have a sd card... but after a few minutes of reloading the files show up (even when Android still tells me I have no card lol)

And secondly , no mic! :P

Other than that... this ROM rocks!

Video capture went crazy. I took a vid of three minutes. While reviewing it, after 2 minutes there appeared fragments... i zoomed in and out a lot maybe because of that.

Review

When i first saw this thread i was like: "Sense 4? This can't be running really smooth when even 3.5 lags like hell...?"

But then i tried it, and this ROM is so beatiful and fast at the same time, can't put my phone down anymore :)

The only things i noticed were:

- Homescreen widgets i deleted just pop up over your current apps/widgets.

- Multitasking isn't coming up (mentioned before - hope for a fix in Beta 4)

- Chrome a little bit buggy (thats no ROM problem ;D)

But beside that, possibly the best ROM ever made for this device ;)

(Sorry for mistakes, english is not my first language)

EDIT: Forgot that: Is it somehow possible to add trackpad wake?

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] magic_android:
Here, flash this http://www.4shared.com/zip/UPRWBlFK/...to_recent.html and you'll be able to get the recent apps list upon pressing the search button. That's not my .zip file that i created, i'm just posting the link for it again.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] =JKT=:
not that there is any lag regarding rosie home page scrolling on this rom XD, but I've noticed that it's way easier to detect lag when the transition is linear, and the snappy 3D scroll covers up any choppiness (if it comes up)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] =JKT=:
That zip always gives me bootloops, no matter what I wipe. Anybody else have this issue and solve it? It soft reboots every time it gets to the "android is upgrading" zipalign stage...maybe I need to not-wipe anything?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] selfinflicted1:
The widget thing made me go back to elitemod. Also my weather and message widgets would go blank and never reload...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] magic_android:
That's really strange, i didn't wipe anything before flashing that .zip, i just flashed it over my current installation of Beta 3 and it's been working really well so far. The only bad thing about it is that it only shows the last 6 recent apps when there are often more than 6 apps open at a time. That's not a complaint though, it's more of a a comment.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] =JKT=:
Very strange. Tried again with no wipe at all, but same thing. Not sure what's up with that.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] magic_android:
Here, this is the exact .zip file that i used, maybe this one is slightly different or something?? Hopefully that can fix it for you.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] =JKT=:
Yeah, the md5s of the other two I tried are identical, but this one is different. I'll try flashing it...

Edit: yes! This one worked perfectly. It wasn't a bad dl..maybe a bad upload to the one mirror? otherwise the other two wouldn't have had identical hashsums. It could just be a different file too.

Anyway, I hope those who are looking for that zip find your link. If beta 4 is up soon it won't matter tho.

Just downloaded Beta3 and browsing it's package, look like this ROM not support init.d boot script.

@xT4Z1N4TRx: could you please add this feature.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Palingenesis:
How's the progress on the camera coming along? The only reason I can't use these ICS ROMs as a daily driver is because I have family far away which I do yahoo video chats with. And as far as I know, none of the ICS ROMs are capable of this feature.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] magic_android:
The camera will probably not be functioning for a while to come with Sense 4 ROMs. The reason for this is that HTC implemented some new dedicated imaging chips on the new One lineup and these use a specific technology called Image Sense or something like that. The purpose of that technology is to allow for super fast shutter speeds and for photos to be taken during video recording. If i am correct, it is highly unlikely for our phones to support those features because they are bound to the hardware found in the new One * phones, where the software (Image Sense) relies on the new imaging chips. Hence, i'm assuming that having a working camera for Sense 4.0 ROMs is going to need some other kind of approach.

I could be wrong (correct me if am) but I think that's the current situation with the camera on Sense 4.0 for phones that aren't part of the One lineup.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Palingenesis:
Thanks for the info. I feel a phone upgrade is coming to light. Once the galaxy s3 is released and/or specs confirmed, I'll be upgrading..

The G2 is a great phone, though I'm starting to feel it's quite outdated. I very very rarely use the physical keyboard, though it's a nice addition. But unless the galaxy s3 sucks or a new phone with good specs and a physical keyboard is unveiled, I feel i'll get the galaxy s3.

Or if the ICS camera issues are sorted, I'll stay with the g2 until my contract expires.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] rc_enzo:
You can say that yes, and I think there's truth in that. But keep in mind that the One phones are not the only HTC's which get the Sense 4.0 update, if I'm correct. As soon as the Desire HD gets it, we're really in business.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tiger2wander:
After an hour exploring this ROM, here is my experience, may be it difference with you, may not :)

+ Work:

- 3G: Fast

- GPS: Fast locked

- Bluetooth headsets

- Wifi

- HW keyboard

- Flashlight (Torch)

- Google Sync

- Music player

- HTC Sense Sync

- Weather

+ Not work / weird

- Camera / Camcorder: not show preview, back button not work

- FMRadio: Scanable channels but no sound at all

- Quick setting on notification bar: not support

- Vietnamese language: not included

- System settings tweaks: not included

- Trackpad wake: not included

- Show recent apps by Hold HOME button: not work

- Auto LCD backlight look buggy, too low at high light source

- HTC Location: can not install

- HTC Hub: not work, no content

- Stock reboot menu: not included hot reboot, recovery, bootloader...

Overall personal opinion: fast, smooth, lightweight, large RAM free (about 180MB), stable since I have no FC anymore, but weird things listed above keep me watching it till it get more stable for daily drive.

Cheer! keep your good work mate.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] magic_android:
For those that want notification power toggles (quick settings), just install Powerful Control from the market, it's a widget but it also adds notification bar toggles and it has a nice look. Those toggles work on the first press from the notification bar which is unlike other similar apps which send you to the menus which let you enable the specific toggle that you are looking for.

I am trying to find the right place to tell the system, that it should consider our HW keyboard being present in the system, rather then patching some wierd functions, that do not cover all the functionalities for us...

I was going through the build.prop and i noticed it said our camera is only 4 megapixels
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] steviewevie:
Yeah those releases are going to be massive for us, e.g. camera drivers and more GPU drivers to try. Hopefully as you say they can be integrated into a Sense 4.0 ROM, but I'm guessing it won't be easy. Lots of very clever devs around here, so fingers crossed !

Yes I have it too in Draw (maybe 3 seconds normal and than the glitches come, didn't have the glitches in other apps or games in this rom), also Tapfish gives problems (a blue bar or does'nt load at all) and Freeplay doesn't load. I thought maybe ICS cannot handle those last 2 games yet?

Well on AOSP ICS these games run normal without the glitches :/ maybe with the new base it works :P
