[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Blubberor:
Hi,

what happens if I encrypt the full phone (including sd card?) and I just update my mod? Is everything lost, or does ICS recognize the encrypted SD card and asks for the correct pin code?

Best,

Blubberor :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] skramz:
Just recently flashed the ICS official ARC port rom to my WT19i.

I noticed some slight lags with it compared to the 4.1.A.0.562 generic port kamarush released.

I'm just wondering if it had something to do with the Tweaks, cause the description said something about containing a RAM tweak... :confused:
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Someguyfromhell:
RAM tweaks usually either improve multitasking(less free RAM, more open apps, better multitasking) or improve playing games(more free RAM, less open apps, better for HD games).
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] skramz:
dunno whats going on with the lag, but seems like it runs better without the tweaks.

ill try wiping the data and see if that helps.

Here's my skinned HTC_IME Sense 4 replica keyboard, originally from Sensation forum made by me HERE

Using HTC_IME for Amaze as base so it will WORKS with latest ICS Sense 3.6 Amaze ICS ROM, thanks to Nirvana Rules AndroidAutobot for providing me the apk file.. :)

Old Screen Shots (V1):

V2 Screen Shots anyone??

NOTE:

UPDATE: V2 zip is flash-able and it will works on DEODEX ROM ONLY, Odex version coming soon

For advance user only, You have to manually push HTC_IME.apk into system/app and set correct permission.. remember to backup the original HTC_IME before you test this.. ;)

[HTC Amaze 4G] Alan Corona:
Will check and report back
[HTC Amaze 4G] Alan Corona:
Installed successful but no changes.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Double0EK:
Looks nice... Thanks.

Wait....I sent this with Tapatalk?
[HTC Amaze 4G] Alan Corona:
It didn't install for me what steps did you do?
[HTC Amaze 4G] Alan Corona:
Whenever I download the file name is just .zip is that correct?
[HTC Amaze 4G] ebatr8:
Flashed it but didn't work still have the white stock keyboard.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Double0EK:
I used Root Explorer. I renamed the stock one to HTC_ IME.apk.bak then moved it to ky sdcard. Then moved the other modified one to system/app, set permissions and rebooted.

Wait....I sent this with Tapatalk?
[HTC Amaze 4G] AndroidAutobot:
Thanks for confirming that this method works. Is tried flashing it a couple different times but got the same result as Alan. Confirming that this method does work =)

NOW we just need the arrow version to be ported over for us =)
[HTC Amaze 4G] jerrytan93:
ermm.. try to download the zip file from PC??

The flashable zip is not working.. need the updater-script for your device.. will update it later.. ;)

For now please extract the HTC_IME.apk from the zip, push it into system/app, set permission, reboot and enjoy
[HTC Amaze 4G] AndroidAutobot:
Looks great with my modified system font!! =)
[HTC Amaze 4G] AndroidAutobot:
Yeah don't worry about that. The apk is still in there. Just extract the APK and use the method described a few posts ago and you'll be in good shape =)
[HTC Amaze 4G] Nirvana Rules:
Thanks jerry u r the man. I know u r super busy and made time to help us out. So guys make sure we hit the thanks button and donate to jerry.
[HTC Amaze 4G] jcjackjay:
it wont show up after pushing the apk to system/app. im running Android Revolution 2.2.1, S-ON. I set permissions, rebooted and everything. just wont show up
[HTC Amaze 4G] AndroidAutobot:
So the keyboard doesn't come up at all or it comes up with the old colors. Sounds like you'd know this already having set permissions already and having mentioned it... But make sure your permissions look like this -

If all is done according... All I can guess is that its not compatible with Mike's ROM for some weird reason. It works on NRG's just fine, and he offers a stock looking version of bis ROM as well so is probably just recommend running that Rom instead in order to get this to work. Energy Rom is pretty flawless. It's never let me down and benchmarked at around 1675 (on vellamo) for me (which is a good 600+ stronger than what I got prior to running energy Rom)
[HTC Amaze 4G] Nirvana Rules:
Actually mine looks like this. And I also changed owner to root and root
[HTC Amaze 4G] AndroidAutobot:
That's bizarre. Although I'm not certain it would make a difference, I'd try marking owner execute as well. If that doesn't work, re download the file, extract and repeat. It should work on any Rom with that method. Only thing I can think of is perhaps files got mixed up and you accidentally have been working with the unskinned version there
[HTC Amaze 4G] Nirvana Rules:
Well my keyboard is the one jerry uploaded. I am running the sense 4.0 replica. And I love it. Thanks jerry u r the man.
[HTC Amaze 4G] AndroidAutobot:
Oh ha ha ha. When you quoted me and left a screenshot of your permissions I didn't read your handle and naturally thought I was still helping jcjackjay troubleshoot lol. I see no ow that theyvr yet to reply lol
[HTC Amaze 4G] romerovallin:
Do you think you could make a version with white text? The black text hurts my eyes. Thank you.
[HTC Amaze 4G] jerrytan93:
If I can edit the keyboard smali code then it will be possible.. but when I decompile it there are no smali files in the keyboard.. :cool:
[HTC Amaze 4G] HuskyHamburger:
Kind of unrelated, but will your AIO mod work on this phone?
[HTC Amaze 4G] jerrytan93:
Nope.. you will only get bootloop after installation.. :p
[HTC Amaze 4G] stratax:
flashed the one from the sensation page, the no arrows one. now i dont have a keyboard lol..
[HTC Amaze 4G] stratax:
Okay so i read a page back and apparently i wasnt supposed to flash it? tried pushing the original htc_ime back to system/app and it still wont work..

anyone know a fix?
[HTC Amaze 4G] ziggy46:
the colors are controlled by xmls :D
[HTC Amaze 4G] jerrytan93:
Uploaded new keyboard for testing purpose.. hope to solve the grey keyboard with black text problem (see screenshot on first post)

NOTE:

For advance user only, You have to manually push HTC_IME.apk into system/app and set correct permission.. remember to backup the original HTC_IME before you test this.. ;) after that let me know it works or not.. :)
[HTC Amaze 4G] AndroidAutobot:
Installed the arrow one from the first post. Getting the same result (black letters with grey outline) and no arrows. Thanks anyway though =)
[HTC Amaze 4G] jerrytan93:
Can you provide me some screen shots for this? and you are using my latest uploaded HTC_IME.apk (from Mediafire)?
[HTC Amaze 4G] AndroidAutobot:
Followed the link for the arrow version on the first post, downloaded and installed. Can definitely provide screenshots. Driving and generally out and about right now. Can put somethin together for ya as soon as I get home =)
[HTC Amaze 4G] AndroidAutobot:
Here's the screenshot. And a screencast for good measure just in case. Appreciate your hard work towards this end man =) thank you =). Look forward to the finished product and am happy to help out however I can in the meantime =)

[HTC Amaze 4G] Nirvana Rules:
I can't seem to load the link on my phone? Jerry is the link down? Tried it on two different phones.
[HTC Amaze 4G] jerrytan93:
Updated mirror link.. ;)

btw I think I need more time to investigate the xml (or smali?!?) that control text color.. :cool:
[HTC Amaze 4G] Nirvana Rules:
Thanks you are the MAN. Whatever you can do for us is greatly appreciated.
[HTC Amaze 4G] ebatr8:
Which one should I install for no arrows? I like the keyboard but hate the arrows personally?
[HTC Amaze 4G] Turboboxer:
This did not work for me. I placed the app in System/App, set permissions and rebooted. Downloaded from Mirror tried again. no change. What am I doing wrong?
[HTC Amaze 4G] AndroidAutobot:
Going from old version of this mod to the recent update or the default HTC ime to the modded version? If its the prior, I had the same result. He's working on it still.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Nirvana Rules:
Do you have the old version? I was unable to get the new one working :(
[HTC Amaze 4G] AndroidAutobot:
In fact I do. I'm fairly certain that this is it =) -

[HTC Amaze 4G] Nirvana Rules:
Thanks man. Rocking it now again. It had been a week since I lost it. I hope jerry fixes the colors. I love this KB
[HTC Amaze 4G] AndroidAutobot:
His skins are pretty darn good too =). Rockin his Ice Night II skin now. MUCH better than the one I was running before =)
[HTC Amaze 4G] Nirvana Rules:
Yeah been rocking his skins for a while now too. I was rocking them when I was running sense 3.5 and I asked him if I could use them in the themes I made. Of course I gave him full credit. That's why I'm extremely grateful that he is showing us some love.
[HTC Amaze 4G] jerrytan93:
Glad that you all like my works out here.. well I love to share my work and experience with all other's member here since most of my Android knowledge are also learned from this great community.. :D
[HTC Amaze 4G] rtaz79:
I tried to out the file in system/app and set permission and reboot and still not working. I tried to put the original apk and still not working. Please help.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Nirvana Rules:
Change owner to

Root and

That seemed to work for me. Except on Iced Bullet RC1
[HTC Amaze 4G] rtaz79:
I, tried that and still didn't work
[HTC Amaze 4G] Nirvana Rules:
Which Rom are you using?

I managed to get it working on the following:

Energy's April 27 release.

ICS first leak

Hope the screenshots help
[HTC Amaze 4G] AndroidAutobot:
What Rom are you running? I recently switched roms and think I may have discovered something...

I don't know enough about deodexing to be certain on this but it seems that this mod doesn't work with deodexed ROMs. It worked fine for me on Energy, which doesn't have the apps deodexed fully (if at all... I think he may have only deodexed the framework).

So I tried a few things. Traditional method didn't work on my new Rom (fastamaze 2.1), and having a hunch about the reason it didn't work I grabbed the odex file from a backup and insterted it into system/app folder along with the modded IME. No dice.

Jerrytan - any idea how to effectively deodex apps? If this is indeed odexed... And you are able to deodex it for me I can confirm whether this is the reason its not working on certain ROMs. =)

I tried several different deodex methods to no avail when on energy before I finally just made the switch to fastamaze. Missing that keyboard and hope we can figure this out =)
[HTC Amaze 4G] jerrytan93:
Looks like the base keyboard sent by Nirvana Rules to me was from an odex ROM.. and that's why when I de-compile the keyboard I got no smali folder to be edited.. I also try to PM him for the odex file of the keyboard (HTC_IME.odex) but with no response (maybe he had accidentally deleted my message lol)

I think I had figured out the problem, we need two types of keyboard.. keyboard from odex ROM and also keyboard from de-odex ROM. So if you are able to send me these two keyboard from two different ROM and I will make a fully working (and with white keyboard text too) replica keyboard for you all! :)
[HTC Amaze 4G] AndroidAutobot:
Sweet. That makes perfect sense. He's running energy Rom which has an odexed version of the IME. Think I just deleted the odex file from my backup folder =L. Let me extract it again and ill have both the files you need lickety split =).
[HTC Amaze 4G] AndroidAutobot:
And here they are =), for your convenience, I created two separate zipfiles to distinguish one from the other. The odex file is included in the corresponding zip =)

[HTC Amaze 4G] jerrytan93:
Thanks mate.. after I done repack and I will post here for testing.. hopefully this will not taking me too much time.. :cool:
[HTC Amaze 4G] AndroidAutobot:
Sweet. Bout to fall asleep lol. It's 336am here and I can barely keep my eyes open ha ha. If its up when I wake up that'll he the first thing I check and will get back to you he he.
[HTC Amaze 4G] jerrytan93:
V2 released.. currently for deodex ROM only, odex version coming soon.. :)

hopefully in V2 the font color had changed successfully, please test and report and provide me some screen shots!
[HTC Amaze 4G] xxquicksh0txx:
Here are the screenshots!

Any way we could get a normal, looking one?
[HTC Amaze 4G] AndroidAutobot:
That was his intent (white text). Patience young butterfly. Sounds like editing this thing isn't a walk in the park.

Thanks again Jerrytan for working so hard to bring us this =). Your efforts are definitely appreciated =)
[HTC Amaze 4G] xxquicksh0txx:
I am definitely not a butterfly. :p

I was just posting screenshots, I didn't expect the text to be red.

;)
[HTC Amaze 4G] AndroidAutobot:
Don't think any of us did lol. It's a work in progress =)
[HTC Amaze 4G] mreeekay:
Subscribing...

Thanks for the hard work! Will try this out once I figure out which deodexed rom I want to try. By the way, does versions 1 & 2 that say Arrow on them have actually have the arrows? I prefer no arrows like the stock keyboard but like the black skin like sense 4 and the replica you created. :)
[HTC Amaze 4G] Y2Ne1:
Energy ICS Rom Not April 27 version will be fully deodexed so it seems so im like you can't wait to try this out on a deodexed rom :D
[HTC Amaze 4G] AndroidAutobot:
Sad to tell you jerry but the sense 4 keyboard has been popping up in recent roms lately (supersayan, speedrom, and now the new energy update that came out yesterday). (My system font has been altered so it looks like this but with normal font)

Might still be able to use the replica keyboard for roms that don't have this one though as it seems nearly impossible to get it working by flashing to another Rom or even pushing the app and setting permissions.

Might be a few out there on a different Rom who'd still want a lil sense 4 keyboard love. =)

And although im now on the new energy update, I'm still absolutely lovin your ice night II skin and use it religeously =)
[HTC Amaze 4G] jerrytan93:
So it looks like somebody had beat me on changing the font color.. btw I will still try to change it becomes white font and then finish this project.. I will focus on my theme for REAL Sense 4 ROM now.. ;)

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] param.006:
I want to customize my lockscreen. In the sense that I want to add a thing that will show my missed calls and messages and clicking on them would open the appropriate app.

Ive heard about using widget locker, but I don't like the fact that if u press the missed calls alert and it opens ur call log and then if u keep pressing back it will end up going to the lockscreen, like the lockscreen is a normal app.

Also I've heard that using such apps for ur lockscreen drains ur battery a bit?

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] edhardie:
Hello,

I have a HTC Desire, and recently got a new One S and thought I'd try and revert the desire back to an unrooted state so I could sell it. Bad idea.

The desire is S-OFF, rooted running a custom ROM. I thought it would be as simple as running an RUU, but something went wrong somewhere.

I'm now stuck on a screen with four triangle exclamation marks in each corner. Trying to boot into hboot isn't possible I just get the same screen again. The only way I'm able to interact with the phone is by plugging it in via usb and fastboot.

I've tried flashing the stock recovery back on (from alpharev) and it said it was successful but nothing changed. Everytime I try to run any RUU I get a file open error (screenshot attached).

I really don't know what to do, any help is much appreciated.

[Motorola Droid Bionic] IRMalleus:
Hey folks,

I hope I'm posting in the right area & a can't find a similar issue on this or other forums.

I purchased the TBH app from the TBH website Friday April 27.

Rooted my Bionic & installed the TBH app yesterday the 28th. When I try to download the toolbox I get downloading for about 3 seconds then "Download Cancelled"

I have Busybox 1.20.0 installed, I'm on WiFi, & I'm bloated for sure.

I have un/reinstalled the app. Redownloaded the app both brom 2 different PCs & from Firefox on my phone.

No joy at all. Any ideas?

BTW- I have posted this query also on the MDW forums but it seems fairly inactive there & sending a query directly to TBH resulted in an automated reply which didn't help.

Thanks in advance.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] projektorboy:
Same issue is happening to me. TBH must be having issues with their server or something.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] IRMalleus:
Thanks for the reply; it makes sense.

[Galaxy S II General] LenAsh:
Reserved for "tips and hints"

Avoiding problems

Always data reset and wipe before doing anything major from one ROM to another, or follow the installation guide for any specific differences in approach.

Avoid Titanium Backup like the plague - it invariably leads to functional issues later if you cross flash. Use Google and/or airdroid for everything, it all just works. So many friends and other forums I contribute to have had too many backup issues to count. Go clean. Forget about Google paranoia.

ES File Explorer is very useful and recommended.

Don't bother "calibrating" the battery - it's an outdated practice and useless. Just use the phone normally, and anyone who claims the battery life is "great" 1 hour after flashing a newly announced ROM is a fool. Likewise NEVER fully discharge a Li-Ion battery. Just keep topping it up. See here: http://batteryuniversity.com/learn/article/how_to_charge_when_to_charge_table

Thoughts

Newer ROMs are rarely better ROMs. Better means different things to different folk of course.

ICS ROM core LPQ to LP8 are largely all the same, just variants of the same thing for different markets. Some users believe they perform differently.

Custom kernels and ROMs are always work in progress and should be treated as such. Check out the number of revisions. Some kernel cookers are (welcome) enthusiastic amateurs that assume more is better and cram "fixes" in that the professional salaried software engineers have mysteriously missed. If you only need your stock kernel to be insecure, learn how to make it so. You are running Linux on your box, right?

Deodexing is not a means to improve performance, on the contrary.

Undervolting is a mythical beast

I bought a phone with an FM radio because I want to use it!
[Galaxy S II General] kranti2064:
And I totally agree. to all of it. Tried all iterations of almost all roms available. For some reason keep going to my VR 3.0 nandroid back up.

Except CM9, I don't really think there is any real development going on. Most are just cooked up roms OR stuff taken from the CM9 tree and implemented OR so called fixes that have actually broken something else OR just debloated rooted official firmware (that AFAIK is pretty easy to do with the fantastic dsixda's kitchen or on a rooted rom).

Now fanboy's may flame as much as they wish to, but seriously a stable CM9 (hopefully..!) or a VR 4.0 is all I am willing to wait for.

Till such time VR 3.0 it is.
[Galaxy S II General] omeryounos:
I don't agree with your final thought. Different ics rooms have really different feels. E.g. Look at scrolling from lpq to lp7.....and there are numerous others as well. If u want more specific thoughts and feedback, just browse through different ics threads in this section..
[Galaxy S II General] LenAsh:
Hmm... I have browsed through the sections, and tried various "revisions" or versions of Samsung ICS today while jotting this lot down, and my view, honestly, is there is no real difference. That isn't to say there isn't, I just can't see or feel it. I do accept that playing with 3 ROMs in a few hours is less than ideal. And a drag!

I suppose if someone could deconstruct the ROMs properly and thoroughly...

Anyway, thanks for your thoughts, appreciated. :)
[Galaxy S II General] Phistachio:
Very nice review! +1

Keep up the good work :)
[Galaxy S II General] B3311:
I broadly agree with the OP.

ICS/AOSP/AOKP/CM9 have improved over the last few weeks, but I'm back on GB, and will probably stay with it until I get the SGS3.

May be subjective, but for me the GB stock browser, camera and dialler are streets ahead of what the rest can offer. Scrolling is smoother too. And I like/need a radio.
[Galaxy S II General] Sigurd02:
Seems like you and the OP only tried the AOSP/AOKP roms? Give the roms based on the latest official a try.

The dialer is still as good as always (unchanged), camera is actually improved with higher bitrate recording and the ics stock browser...is untouchable at the moment in my opinion. (Granted I use "ICS Browser+" from the market which uses the best ui in a browser I've encountered)

I currently use Dynamic's ICS rom and it would be extremely difficult for me to go back to GB at this point.
[Galaxy S II General] tom_asdelonge182:
While I agree that in terms of loading websites, ics default browser is a little bit faster, scrolling and pinch and zooming is much smoother with stock gb browser. Also the dialer is worse on ics as it has removed the contacts section which means I have to put both the dialer and contacts shortcut on the dock.
