I want to point out that the Sense 4.1 update broke the phone.apk in such a way that you might set a custom ringtone for each contact, but it only uses the system setting. Those of us using MeanROM 3.6 have been taking the Sense 4.0 phone.apk from MeanROM 3.4 and replacing the Sense 4.1 version to get things to work properly.

So I replaced the phone.apk in the deSenseICSv1.1 zip with the one from Sense 4.0

Also, MeanROM 3.6 has quick settings in it now (though not as many options currently), so flashing this, you'll lose that. So, if I wanted to, is flashing the ROM the only way to revert back to normal?

Oh, and then there's this:
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] TaintedByte:
Yes, your idea would work perfectly :)

I was not aware of the Phone issue that Sense 4.1 brought up, I used the new apks that were included in the rom. The reason why v1.0 of my rom crashed on mean and goodies was because the Phone apk was older.

I won't be able to update to MeanROM 3.6 till I get home, unfortunately. But you can make it partially work by replacing either SystemUI or framework-res from my theme with the ones from the 3.6 ROM. Mikey is too good and releases too many updates xD

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] xlxcrossing:
The transparency inherent in your zip isnt user definable through venom tweaks. in fact there is no pulldown transparency setting. There are 3 settings related to the statusbar background appearance. One is the statusbar itself, the other two allow you to change the background to any solid color OR choose a background image. With your zip I see transparently to my custom image just not through to my homescreen when I don't have a custom image set.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] TaintedByte:
Never said that it was. Also my theme does not touch Venom Tweaks at all.

Yes there is.

Not just a solid color, you can choose the opacity of said color.

This is explained in the Viper4G thread, but here is a handy guide on how to set a transparent pulldown image with Venom Tweaks I threw together:
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] xlxcrossing:
I see where the transparency intensity bar is now. Looking for it to be more smoke grey and less black, guess I'll fiddle with it.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Kilokk:
I am waiting patiently for this fix. :angel: In the "MEAN" time, :laugh: I've been using PowerToggles. It sits in the notification bar and looks pretty good and functions perfectly. It's highly customizable, a lot more than you would think.

Does this work with the new Mean 3.8??? I dont seem to see the Skin when i go to personalize. Only the normal HTC skins are there???

I wouldn't install this until it is updated for the Sense 4.1 framework.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Evo_Shift:
I'm pretty sure his themes for meanrom and stock with goodies are updated for the new base but they were updated before quick settings were added so you lose them if you flash. Other than that and maybe the extended power settings not working on stock with goodies the theme should be fine.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] kusanagi-sama:
No, they aren't updated for the new base. Or rather it is, but it isn't updated to the newer MeanROM that has the quick settings (it didn't have this on MeanROM 3.5 [first MeanROM on the new 2.13 base], which is what v1.1 is based on)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] TaintedByte:
Yes but it is updated for the latest base (that being 4.0.4 and sense 4.1). The base is current but flashing the current file in the OP (which is for MeanROM 3.5) will get rid of the quick settings.

I will update when I get back home.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] rank78:
Just came here looking for why I lost quick settings and the clock turning white after flashing on top of Mean 3.9, lol. Good to hear you'll be updating soon, I love your theme so much that I'd rather be on an older ROM with deSensed ICS than the newest without it.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] TaintedByte:
Wow, thanks :D I appreciate that!

Anyway no need to worry anymore, updated the theme for MeanROM 3.9 so everyone now gets the best of both worlds! Here's the download (OP is also updated with the new link):

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] kusanagi-sama:
Is this using the Sense 4.0 or 4.1 phone.apk?

--EDIT--

Its using the Sense 4.1 phone.apk (3.24MB), which custom ringer settings is broken. I'll drop the Sense 4.0 phone.apk (6.02MB) in this before I flash it (MeanROM since 3.6 I believe is using the Sense 4.0 phone.apk)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] TaintedByte:
Well. It has been using Sense 4.1 since version 3.5 as I stated in my previous post. The base is updated therefore it's using Sense 4.1. I grabbed the new Phone.apk from the latest MeanROM 3.9 though, so it should include the fix mikey did.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] kusanagi-sama:
I believe the fix Mikey did was to put the Sense 4.0 Phone.apk in the ROM.

--EDIT--

Oh, yeah. For some reason the notification bar clock keeps turning white.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] reprod:
I haven't been following these threads too closely. Wondering if there will be any support for Fresh ROM in the future.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] kusanagi-sama:
I think he said he removed support because not enough people were downloading it for that rom?

Racer,

Any possibility of inverted Settings and submenus for Mean4.0 +?

Hope you are /did enjoying/enjoyed your vacation.

Skid
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Evo_Shift:
I believe this is a rom issue that must have popped up on the newer update. At least on the tranquility rom every time you would switch to landscape the clock would turn white and not change back until a reboot and that's without the desensed theme applied. Their rom was doing it. They released an update that fixed it. I suppose if Racer Of All knew the fix he could implement it into whichever file is responsible but I don't know if that's something themers really do normally. The fix seems to have involved the systemui.apk and the framework-res.apk based on the zip needed to fix it.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] rank78:
I was testing ROMCleaner yesterday on MeanROM 4.0 w/deSense and was wondering what was I removing or doing wrong that is messing with this mod. One thing I see for sure is the blue toggles in quick settings reverts to green. There is a Sense and No-Sense version, I've test the latter but will test the former to see if that's where I'm going wrong.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Evo_Shift:
Make sure you are using only the matte skin.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] TaintedByte:
Haha thanks and I agree, AOSP is ready for prime time, I'm running CM10 myself. But I understand that some people want a perfect ROM so I'll continue to update this until there's no point to anymore :P

No need for inverted settings, check out the recommended apps on the main post, it's literally the settings app from AOSP working fully on Sense :) can't do any better than that xD

Yes, I tried to troubleshoot it myself but came up empty handed, I don't know what is currently causing it. I will look into it when I get some free time again but if someone finds out how let me know and I'll fix it immediately.

You have to make sure you can keep the Personalize app and whatever dependencies that app requires because you have to switch over to the Matte (renamed to deSensed ICS) theme to keep those blue switch icons.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Evo_Shift:
I had a quick qeustion. I was trying to pull all the icons from the systemui.apk folder to see if I could add them to the rom I am using now but I cannot seem to find one icon. It is the icon in the status bar when the phone is on vibrate, like when you push the volume all the way down as far as it goes. Am I just missing it or does it use the same icon for silence as it does for vibrate in silent mode?

edit - found it. For some reason the thumbnail wasn't showing up for me :) I love me some AOSP icons! Thanks again.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Skid71:
Racer...

Thanks for the heads up on Art's inverted AOSP settings. I was using that before, and just assumed it wouldn't work with the new base. I know... I know... assuming.

So is Mean v1.1 with the correct phone.apk that can change ringtones or is it with the "new" phone.apk that doesn't allow changing of ringtones?

Really waiting to get deSensed back up and going on Mean 4.1.

Thanks,

Skid
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] kusanagi-sama:
No, its the sense 4.1 phone.apk (the "new" buggy one). You can just drop the Sense 4.0 phone.apk into the zip and it replaces it (the one in MeanROM).
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] rank78:
I figured it out. There wasn't an option for Personalize in the script so I added in the location and made it exempt, as well as made sure Matte was safe. Everything seems fine so far. :)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] fr0st420:
Hey could you update this to the latest stock with goodies v2.06. He updated the quick settings for sure, I don't know about the rest.

I adore notice this theme doesn't show 1x when we are in 1x mode. Please check into it when you have time. The rom does though.

I downloaded the latest deSensed for MeanROM (1.1).

Extracted the zip, deleted the phone.apk from it, then replaced the deleted phone.apk with the phone.apk from the latest MeanROM.

Zipped back up, transferred to phone, then flashed the altered zip.

Nothing changed, deSensed was not installed.

Is there a step or two I'm missing here?

I was replacing the phone.apk to allow ringtone changes.

Appreciate the help.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] kusanagi-sama:
Its in the first post. You need to change the theme to deSensedICS (it used to be Matte) Go to settings --> personalize --> skin

Missing this on meanrom :(
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Skid71:
After flashing the zip (the one that I changed out phone.apk's) there is no deSensed option in the skins, it's still "Matte".
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] kusanagi-sama:
Try downloading the zip again. This time don't decompress it. Just drop the Phone.apk in it, the zip file will automatically replace it. You probably used the wrong compression level.

Did TWRP say "successful" or "failed"?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Skid71:
Thank you, I'll follow your suggestion and report back.

Admittedly, I didn't look at the TWRP screen, but could tell it was a no go because of how quickly (it didn't) install.

With MeanROM 4.4.2 & .3 having the "official" HTC contact ringtones fixed, can we now use deSensed 1.1 without issue?

Good luck getting your system back up to speed Racer.

I'm currently using it with ViperROM, and soon they will be releasing a major update. I hope you plan on updating the theme when the time comes!

Mad respect and admiration!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] TaintedByte:
Okay system is almost 100% up to how it was and while I am waiting for the rest of the HDD image to write to a new one (which takes longer than you would imagine, tbh) I decided to throw together an update. I didn't get a chance to test these on my own but I don't see a reason for why they wouldn't work. They both also have the updated Phone.apks (pulled straight from the respective ROMs) so the multiple contact ringtones should work again.

Flash these at your own risk, I recommend making a nandroid (should do it anyway..) so you can fallback to in case I can't get these fixed up right away if something is wrong (look how long it took for me to update to the new ROM updates xD). Please let me know if they work so I can update the OP with the new download links if they do.

I'll throw this in for those who just skim posts:

THESE ARE TEST UPDATES, I HAVE NOT TESTED THESE MYSELF AND HAVE NO IDEA IF THEY WORK! FLASH AT YOUR OWN RISK!

Lastly I would like to apologize for these updates taking so long. During this time of the year (and until around the start of February) my life gets hectic, work is exhausting and by the time I get home I don't want to do anything other than relax or hang out with my friends/girlfriend. Also I didn't count on my HDD dying out and while we're at it, tip for everyone: do not buy Hitachi Deskstar HDDs, I even knew this and went ahead with the purchase and the drive is dead in less than a year. My other two drives (WD Cavier Black) are older and are at 100% health.

Thanks so much for the update, Racer. No need to apologize for any delays, we're all just happy to de-sense our ROMs and are more than happy to wait patiently for your quality work.

Earlier today I decided to try out MeanROM so I downloaded it, but have not flashed it yet.

Now that the theme is on 4.4, I have no reason not to try it. :)

Running MeanROM 4.4 with your updated theme. Running fantastic.

I will say this...about that.

Since installing Racer's modified 1.1 for Mean, the blue clock is sticking. Previously the blue would stick around for a few minutes tops.

Maybe the order in which zips are flashed possibly?

Racer,

Thanks for the confirmation on the AOSP settings. You have told me that before, for some reason it wasn't sticking. I tried to rename the original .apk with a .bak and that didn't eliminate the original .apk. Instead I deleted the original, renamed the one I wanted, changed permissions, and all is good.

Still working great on MeanROM 4.4.4

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] kusanagi-sama:
Well, I just flash the ROM, run ROMCleaner and then run deSensedICS zip. Sometimes the clock will go white right after the phone starts, and sometimes it won't do it for a few hours.

i think it has to with if it goes into landscape..I use tranquility and it's already coded in as part of the ROM, and never changes...
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Skid71:
I'm not sure this is theme-specific.

At times when powering the LTEvo on the deSensed wallpaper is displayed "under" the lockscreen. At other times instead of the wallpaper being displayed, it's just black.

I'm interested in finding the rhyme or reason to this. The lockscreen is gorgeous with the wallpaper being displayed.

Anyone have any thoughts?

Thanks,

Skid
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Skid71:
Sorry for quoting myself.

Appears as if being on battery power maintains the wallpaper on the lockscreen instead of just a black screen.

Anyone know of a way to change that setting?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mexlos:
So you're saying the lock screen shows your custom wallpaper on battery power, but while you're charging your lock screen shows a black background instead?

That's really weird, my lock screen shows my custom wallpaper regardless of charging state.

It sounds less like a "setting" and more like a glitch. Have you tried re-flashing your ROM and theme?

What happens if you're charging, turn on screen, unplug power, then turn screen off and then back on?

In any case, if everything else works perfectly, do you really stare at your lock screen while charging that often? Sounds like a pretty minor and harmless annoyance. But it's your phone and I understand if you want it to be perfect. :)

Racer will likely update it whenever he has the free time to do it. Like he posted a while back, he uses CMX, so updating a theme for a ROM he's not using might not be his #1 priority, but I'm pretty sure he will throw some love our way when he gets a chance. ;)

Fair point, this issue is probably about as minor as it can get. I suppose it's more of an eye pleasing type of thing.

I can no longer say it only shows the wallpaper while charging. It seems pretty random. The second half of yesterday it showed the wallpaper all of the time on the lockscreen, but I also lost the blue clock in the upper right corner, it has changed to white. Wonder if there is a correlation?

In any case I appreciate your feedback and thoughts.

---------- Post added at 07:45 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:41 AM ----------

The wallpaper is the default wallpaper for deSensed. Not sure if it's a stock ICS or JB wallpaper, but I like it. I'm assuming it's stored somewhere in the system.

Charging from the wall, but like I said in my previous post, now the wallpaper is being displayed all the time on the lockscreen. Would be nice to nail down the cause-effect. Oh well, no biggie.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Osirus71:
