[HTC Amaze 4G] bo1g:
Hey there.

I've been using the HTC Amaze for a few weeks and I've had an excellent experience rooting it and flashing custom ROMs. However, Sense UI irks me to no end. I'm currently using Speed Rom 4.0 by EclipzeRemix for the AOSP replacements, and the ICS theme by electronicrice.

This ROM uses the default ICS lockscreen as a replacement lockscreen, which works fine except for one thing - when I use Google Play Music the music controls don't come up. It looks like it wants to do something because the wallpaper vanishes when I listen to music as well.

So here are my questions:

1. How would I go about extracting the CM9 lockscreen and making it flashable onto a deodexed ROM like Speed Rom 4.0?

2. How can I make it possible to add the volume button music control functionality?​

Until the kernel source is released for the Amaze and CM9 can be developed properly, I would like my Sense UI to have the most AOSP experience as possible. I am a bit new to ROM/Application development for Android like this, although I've made a few themes in the G1 days and programming is not a new thing for me. I've rooted Android more than I can count too, and can say I'm pretty experienced in that field.

Any answers you can give me would be great, however try not to post something like "Use Widget Locker instead," as I would like to learn how to make a flashable add-on like this.

Thanks!

Try using the apollo player.
[HTC Amaze 4G] bo1g:
I'm fairly sure Apollo Player does NOT stream music from Google Play. Also, see my comment above that reads:

Your answer totally wen't WHOOSH right over my questions and did not answer what I asked.

Thanks for the tip, though.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ariellestarchild:
I was wondering since Boost and Virgin Mobile now have Sprint's 4G WiMAX , how would I flash my Evo 4G over to Boost Mobile with the 4G WiMAX working?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gellybelly:
Its been talked about already, you'll need a 4G donor. Read to use the HTC Design 4G.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ariellestarchild:
that doesn't help me any maybe a link would help..........
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alansupra94:
You don't need a link to figure that out. You needed a donor 3g boost mobile phone in order to flash any cdma phone over to 3g boost mobile. You will obviously need a 4g boost mobile phone in order to flash over any cdma phone over to 4g boost mobile.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] StaticMaal:
Yea I think you would need to buy the HTC EVO Design 4g use the stuff you used to flash you EVO 4g to boost mobile. This is just an idea after you are done with the HTC EVO Design 4g return it.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goin2cali420:
If u return the phone and somebody buys it and turns it on, won't that scramble the data
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] whitmerray:
Yea if you use the donor and return it you'll be screwed once someone else buys that phone and turns on the 4g unless you find a way to scramble that phones wimax address.... there has to be another way to do this besides using a donor for is wimax mac address..
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alansupra94:
I wonder if those WiMax MAC addresses are anything like ESN/MeIDs in a sense they are close numerically to other similar phones on the same network. That is the only way I can think it would work but that is highly illegal in this case. :eek:
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eznacho:
From my understanding

You don't necessarily need a 4g donor or anything just change your mac address to a SPRINT WORKING MAC ADDRESS on your phone.

I remember when I first started doing cable modems in vegas this is how we used to get on the network, we used to clone mac addresses from modems by fishing them and then we flashed them on a modem and voila

I don't think that sprint is provisioning the 4g mac addresses like that but using a friends wimax mac address as your own can work, don't ask me how to do this as I don't know with HTC evo I have it on my e4gt flashed to boost and I did it by ##33284# ##debug# lol dont know if that's right on the numbers.

But yeah just borrow a friends mac address and change it to that turn on your 4g and GG! :)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mavilarol:
4g on boost help

well i still havent figure it out, i bought the evo design from boost so i can have 4g, i dont like the cell phone at all, is too tiny compare to evo 4g or galaxy s2, so i flash it to the galaxy s2 like everybody knows now days and also change the wimax mac address from the design in to the galaxy change the realm and it worked!! I have 3g and 4g working with everything messagesand internet, now i tryed the same with the evo 4g change the wimax mac address and the realm same like i did on the galaxy but it didnt work, so question: anybody knows how to make 4g to work on evo4g with the evodesign 4g as donor?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 9h0s7:
You need more than just the MAC, also needed is the proper NAI and user name to the MAC address.
[HTC Incredible S] itandy:
First off, I'm not the developer of the kernel. I just merge the work of kaijura and chad0989 so we can have a ICS AOSP kernel with Force AC support.

You can read more about Force AC here. In short, it's a software mod to disable USB data transfer and allow maximum current from your USB port.

The function can be toggled by:

echo 1 > /sys/kernel/fast_charge/force_fast_charge

and off:

echo 0 > /sys/kernel/fast_charge/force_fast_charge

Or you can download Fastcharge / Force AC Toggle or IncrediControl by chad0989 for the same function.

Alternatively, I use Tasker to create two icons to run the above commands. GScript can be used similarly.

After flashing the kernel, the kernel version will become

2.6.35.14-x-ICS-v3-fac

andy@andy-Ubuntu1204#3

Sat Jun 2 14:01:44 HKT 2012

OR

2.6.35.14-x-4.0+_fac

andy@andy-Ubuntu1204#1

Sat Jul 14 14:48:30 HKT 2012

Again, I'm not a kernel developer and this is my first try to compile a kernel. I tested the kernel for a while and everything works fine including WiFi. If you have any problem using this kernel, just flash back to whatever kernel you're from. Or you can send me a PM and I'll try my best to help. :)

Note:

You have to toggle before plugging in the USB cable. If you toggle when the USB cable is connected, unplug it and plug in again to take effect.

If turned on and when you have plugged in the USB cable, you will see no change in the notification bar but the LED will be flashing as usual. Just like using the stock HTC AC charger.

If turned off and when you have plugged in the USB cable, you will see the "USB connected" notification and "USB debugging connected" notification, if enabled.

[HTC Incredible S] highKo:
am i right? it will charge via usb with the same speed like i have with via the power socket?

will i have problems with usb transfer after flashing this?
[HTC Incredible S] vizzy:
I'd assume once you put it to PC mod or whatever you should be fine. It'll only change charge only mode .....
[HTC Incredible S] itandy:
AFAIK if USB data cable is detected, the phone will limit the charge current to 500mA. This mod explicitly disable data transfer mode so maximum current from USB port will be used to charge. To resume data transfer, just toggle it off.
[HTC Incredible S] mr nick:
Am I correct in thinking this kernel is meant only for AOSP roms and not sense?
[HTC Incredible S] itandy:
Right, this is a AOSP kernel. Not meant for Sense ROM.
[HTC Incredible S] highKo:
can you update this to kernel v4?

i have the feeling that it is not already included..

thank you!!
[HTC Incredible S] itandy:
I can try to do it later this week. But I'm not using AOSP ROM at the moment, so maybe you will have to test it yourself.
[HTC Incredible S] itandy:
OP updated with new V4 kernel. I tested it with IceColdSandwich 8.2 and it works well.
[HTC Incredible S] samgurung:
Does this kernel have ip tables support?
[HTC Incredible S] itandy:
I'm not sure. You can ask kaijura who is the real dev of the kernel.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mehmetalidemir:
Hi all, i was using MIUI since 4-5 months. But it wasn't record 720p and i wanted to back stock rom. But it wasn't success for some reasons.

I have a brick tablet now. Now when i connect via USB nothing appears on screen. And can't do something (like power up, download more, upload more or someting)...

If i connect to charger, appears brick symbol on screen. If i press powerup + volDown + VolUp, it shows Power reset or unknown upload mode.

Exactly i can't do anything if charger not plugged in.

Help.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Qqqxxxzzz:
What is brick symbol? Can you take picture from it.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mehmetalidemir:
Thanks for the reply.

i.imgur.com/WKsBK.png

That's the symbol
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Qqqxxxzzz:
You have failed when flashing. That symbol means you are still in download mode. Just use odin/heimdall to flash stock firmware.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mehmetalidemir:
When i plug USB cable nothing happens on PC (any sound or any popup etc.) And i can't do something... i think it's Hard Brick...
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Qqqxxxzzz:
Make sure you have correct drivers installed.

It is possible to hard brick galaxy tab, but it's very hard. Try flash in odin even when odin/computer doesn't recognize device. If not working try heimdall. If not working use this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KPSBXC72rmg If not working use unbrickableMod (in dev section, sticky). If not working..........send to repair service.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mehmetalidemir:
When i plug it, it should wants to install drivers, is it? But it's not. I'll send to service. Thanks
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] G0G0L:
dont worry. hard bricking is very hard. i have done it. yours is a faulty flash. use the latest version of odin

dont forget to thank me if you found this helpful
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Qqqxxxzzz:
You couldn't use unbrickableMod to restore? It's hard brick when it doesn't work.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] swarochisa:
i too am in a similar position but i am not sure whether it's a hard brick or a soft brick. i have gone through the sticky in the dev section but my tab does not fall in entirely in any of the brick descriptions mentioned.

i have unsuccessfully flashed my tab and ended up with the same screen. by the time i discovered the fix the entire battery drained out.when i plugged it in to charge it drifts in and out of the said screen (screen stays for about 5-10 secs tops ) like a screen saver. unplugging it makes it dead(it does not even show the download mode screen).when i connect it to a computer through usb its completely dead...i can't even try "oneclick" .i would like to know whether its a hard brick or a soft brick coz i don't want to mess it up further by trying a wrong solution.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samygent:
Hi all , my up and down volume buttons aren't working anymore , tf101 is already flashed with cwm and rooted with some very old ics beta version

now I've never tried installing a new rom with the cwm market application. Problem is it game over if I ever get stuck in some infinite looping boot.

and also this is why those buttons aren't working anymore :

those 2 wires = my on/off button

can anyone help me flash a new up to date ics version pls ?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thing O Doom:
Use my PERI installer to install Rouge's touch recovery, no volume buttons required x)

You do need power button though, and a way into recovery without power button that won't cause a bootloop. (Since reboot to recovery apps are terrible, you can give it a shot)
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samygent:
thx for your help , sadly computer is not detecting the transformer =/ usb debugging is on and turn itself off whenever I reboot it. Might be some early ics usb problem

btw forgot to say I have a tf101 dock station
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thing O Doom:
Transfer a new recovery via a USB flash drive into the dock to /sdcard/ then run the commands from wolf's method 1 or method 3 to flash it.

dd if=/path/to/recovery/blob of=/dev/etc... (commands in wolf's thread)

reboot

ok first this it not my work.

thanks to RubberBigPepper for his great work. for download link, go to original thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1677645

but the thing i want to share here, it is very simple, but its VERY GREAT.:cool:

this camera help us to recording video at resolution 640.480:eek::eek: most camera app, from stock camera to apps from store, or porting..only can record at max res 320.240

but with this camera app, we can really record at 640.480

for this, just install camera normally.then go to camcoder, setting:

scene mode: action

video resolution: 640.480 (higher is not supported)

video encoder: mpeg4

video file format: mpeg4

video bitrate:5Mbit

other is default.then exit apps. open it again (u need to do it because it still in beta and have bug)

now u can record, then open in your computer.u can see, resolution it 640.480, video it much more better and detail

the only problem is framerate only 10, while with stock we have 15.but i think because this does not have right config for mini (same as miui camera.it only can record at res 320.240 with framerate 10 :eek::eek:)

notice, this app still in dev so it may have bugs.but the important thing i want to share you and hope devs hack it, its that our mini can record video at higher resolution, and if anyone can make the framerate more than 15, this would be very great:eek:

devs, please looking for this!

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Evo_Shift:
I really like the simple News and Weather app (I believe it is a google app) that was on my EVO Shift and Nexus S. I was dissapointed the LTE didn't have it so I found a data app version of it and am uploading it here in case anyone else wants it. It's just a data app so no messing with /system or anything. Click and enjoy :)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] pmorris710:
Thanks, this was a favorite on my old evo. This one seems a little refreshed even, is it opening links in its own browser?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Evo_Shift:
Yeah this is the first device I have used where the links open in its own browser. I don't really like that actually so I've switched to a different one posted. You cannot resize the page in that browser for some reason. The reason I liked this one was because you can install it like a normal data app and on some ics roms on my tablet the menu button won't appear if I use the system app for some reason. But my tablet doesn't open links in that weird browser thing or else I don't notice it since I use it zoomed all the way out.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] bigods:
Worked perfectly on GT-I8190N

The 24hr forecast graph is very useful. I've been searching for this app for my S3 mini since my Nexus S died.

Don't know how you found a "data app version of it" but this is perfect for non-rooted devices.

Thanks a lot! :good:

I bought myself a copy of NOVA 3 yesterday (it said it was compatible with the defy!!)

but after the long 1.7 GB download, it turns out, the only reason it was "compatible" was because it plays with low textures, no smoke effects, etc etc :\

Does anyone know if there's a way to play with high textures, since games like Mass Effect work without lag in HD graphics on 1.1 GHz

If I download SD data for, say, Adreno and replace the files, will it work?

I only bought the game because of it's graphics and gameplay and multiplayer. without the graphics, this game is nothing :(
[Defy Themes and Apps] Moises_sto_zn:
Many people said the same in some forums, I think that version of NOVA 3 not yet have all the graphics features, I'll wait update.:)

Read the tittle

underage17 said that he bought the app.

So is the same apk, that all of us have.

Mmm...

But I was thinking that you can get more stability using ICS. Obviously CM9.

I am using GB on MIUI, but I can play almost all games..excepting NOVA3...

So I am doubing about changing my defy´s ROM.

Well..I hope somebody can help us, by reducing the textures and can PLAY
[Defy Themes and Apps] dams161:
Turn on motoluxe
[Defy Themes and Apps] sixaxis94:
Like I said, it's unplayable because of the lag.. so if you really wanna play it, you'll have to make do with low textures

Edit - when I first played, it ran on low textures by default. Try checking the 'low textures' box in chainfire if its lagging
[Defy Themes and Apps] yamandude:
i did that ... still didnt work ... even the cutscenes didnt :P ... but then i saw the video ...... was just perfect ! ... seems that changing the ROM may address the issue .. :) ..

Not sure.. I'm running CM9 and it works lag free almost everywhere

try uninstalling chainfire.. I Had to do that to go back to low textures for some reason

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davibs:
Ehi guys, what do you think about?

Wich is the fastest without bugs?

Ics or Gb?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
There is no definitive answer to that question. There are so many different roms & kernels both GB & ICS, and there are also so many variables with regard to phone setup/use.

'Fastest' is such an arbitrary term when used in relation to smartphones.

For example, fastest could mean overclocking. Overclocking is dependent on your CPU; all CPUs come out of the factory differently - some can be overclocked to 1600MHz, some can't.

Or fastest could mean performing a particular task more quickly, or 'smoothness' (which is a stupid XDA Android fanboy fap off term). Which is subjective and impossible to get a handle on due to so many variables which determine any measure along these lines.

Getting the idea ?

What I'm hinting at, the only way you're going to find the answer to your question is to use a bunch of GB & ICS roms and make your own mind up. With CWM it's very easy to backup/restore & flash roms so it isn't difficult for you to do this.

I'm sure you'll get people who will post to this thread & seemingly give you the answers you're looking for. I'd advise you to ignore them. Because your experience with GB/ICS/a rom/a kernel will not be exactly the same as someone else.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chef_Tony:
please, not another one of these fail threads.

if you want to know the difference in features, read up on it on wikipedia or the google android site.

if you want to know, which one is faster and better for you, give them both a try and compare.

also, there is already a thread of a very similar name floating around the general section.

and may i remind you that there is a rule not to ask, which rom is the best?

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] randomseasons:
I flash to ICS once and couldnt stand its pack of stability and tweaks but it's been a long time ago so i guess it' much better now, I still stick to GB thought.

If you are not interested in fancy looks and are a simple user then GB is a perfect choice, stable.

If you want to have a modern look, new unique features then try ICS, but it's not stable now
