"See" and "try" are better than "no." I loved having CM9 on my original DInc. If we were to get CM9 or CM10 on the DInc 4G, I'd be beyond thrilled. I know that's quite a long way off, but a Senseless ROM will do just fine until then.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] nitsuj17:
i think if you and aeroevan both end up with the phone (amongst others) the aosp crowd will be in good hands
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] maqsur:
I believe still cheap on letstalk.com but that is with contract.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] joefrog1996:
Then who will make aosp for dinc 2?

I don't want to depend on official CM9, or CMX
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] nitsuj17:
its not an "if else" statement

people can support whatever they want to support and theres nothing saying that getting a new phone means you drop support for others
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] Aldo101t:
all you have to do is change the launcher, and sense di\sappears
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] polarimetric:
This is not true, especially with more recent versions of Sense. Sense 4.0 themes just about everything (phone & messaging apps, default browser, settings, and notification bar, to name a few), much of it far beyond the launcher.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] Pandalero:
Exactly... can't stand the white menu theme and the cartoony colored icons. I'm also looking forward to getting rid of the ever present location and WiFi notification icons in the status bar. ICS status bar and notification shade is gorgeous... Sense ruins it.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] polarimetric:
My personal preference is Sense (even when I had AOSP on my original Incredible, I searched tirelessly for themes that would make my phone look more like Sense 4), so I'd disagree with you there, but god do I agree with you on the WiFi notification and the persistent location symbol. There is almost no real estate in the notification bar for actual notifications; the whole thing is taken up by completely unnecessary indicators.

I also find the Sense app drawer really frustrating--there is just way too much going on. I keep the Sense launcher because I like the clock, but I'd love to see a custom ROM remove the unnecessary sidebars in the app drawer and make it look more like Nova.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] nitsuj17:
you can remove the bottom tabs in the app drawer (app drawer > menu > edit tabs) and if you remove vzw, favs, and downloads it wil remove all bottom tabs
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] polarimetric:
...Omg, thank you. It's really embarrassing that I never thought of that. haha

EDIT: Did it and now it looks so much better. Any chance we could see a vertical app drawer built into the Sense launcher? Not sure how possible that is.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] con247:
The original sense 4 port for the sensation had a mod where it opened the AOSP app drawer because the sense one was messed up. So it is possible.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] n2theblu:
This is my biggest complaint about Sense. The white background is ugly (IMO), and I really want the tight integration with Google Voice and the call history log.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] n2theblu:
TSM UltimateKangBang LTE 0.1 ?

Greets,

Not enough posts yet to ask this in the development forum, but is TSM UltimateKangBang LTE 0.1 an AOKP ROM? Or is it a debloated Sense 4.0 ROM? Sorry for the noob-ish question, but I miss AOKP on my original Incredible, and thoroughly enjoy it on my Galaxy Tab 10.1 and the wife's HP Touchpad. Sense just isn't my cup of joe...

Thanks to all the devs out there!
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] nitsuj17:
its a sense 4 stock based rom

there is no aosp roms (yet)
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] joefrog1996:
True

But my point was don't give him any ideas

Of course they can do whatever they want, don't take things sooo seriously :o

nitsuj17 is one of the best and most dedicated developers involved in the Android world.

I'm highly looking forward to working with him bring the Venom ROM to the inc4.

if you want a stable ROM, use justin's ROMs. and if there is any bugs, read the OP, it's in there.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] Pandalero:
Is Venom an AOSP based ROM?
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] blazingwolf:
No.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] polarimetric:
No, it's Sense 4 with a theming and tweaking tool built in to make it more customizable.

It's probably best to assume that any ROM we'll be getting in the near future is Sense 4-based unless it's specifically mentioned otherwise.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] renzo.olivares:
well after trying to port inc 4g rom to my rez i took a break and made an aosp vendor and device tree for u guys and used intervigil's stuff as a base ill upload if anyone wants

[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] andybones:
senseless and AOSP are like night vs day ;)
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] aeroevan:
Yeah, it's the difference in hiding sense stuff vs not having it in there at all.

If I ever have some time I may take a system dump and try a CM9 build, but no guarantees.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] Pandalero:
That would be awesome and greatly appreciated.

Sent from my HTC Incredible 4G
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] maqsur:
Enjoyed your work porting cm7, cm9 on the Inc2. Thanks for showing an interest. :good:
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] blazingwolf:
In case anyone else is looking at getting in to this I wanted to let everyone know the issues that I have seen and started working around to get AOSP going.

First, I want to thank JoelZ9614 and aeroevan for the work they have already done in getting AOSP running on the Inc 4G LTE. If it wasn't for them I would still be wondering what to do. :)

The device tree as posted by Joelz9614 isn't completely compatible for our device yet though it is far better than I could have ever hoped to have created. Audio is the biggest issue and I had to comment the audio out from the make files to get past the errors it creates. I then needed to remove the overlay for the camera as it was causing errors due to lack of resources. After that I got a successful compile. :)

Even with the successful compile the ROM still did not boot. That is because it is having issues creating some folders and giving the correct permissions. This is where aeroeven came in as he was able to tell me what to do to get the folder issue (specifically with /cache/dalvik-cache) somewhat fixed. It was fixed enough that it actually made it past the boot animation and showed a screen. Unfortunately, it didn't get any further as it was having major fc's with the phone apk and many others.

That is as far as I have gotten so far (maybe I should say as far as the experts have gotten as it wouldn't be this far without them). Maybe someone smarter then me will pick this up soon and have something booting before I get back from vacation. If not I will try to pick this up again when I get back in a few days.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] dbrits:
Hey, at least it booted. That's better than nothing, and a step in the right direction. Thanks so much for your work on this.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] dmeadows013:
Working on this but don't have a device. Pm me if you would like to test. Right now I just have a tree but I need someone with a device to extract the files and then test the builds. I think it will be a relatively easy project even though I have no device.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] *Madmoose*:
I'm willing to test anything you throw my way. I'm not a dev in any way so don't expect a lot of debug info without some hand-holding. I'm an IT guy...but linux...not my forte.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] con247:
I'll test whatever once my donated device comes if I can get unlock to work. Thank you to that person. You know who you are. Not sure if you want to be named publicly.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] *Madmoose*:
LOL, it's all good Con. I'm working on getting some more for other developers as well. I want this phone to take off. Lovin this thing.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] dmeadows013:
Yeah so I've got a vendor thanks to Joel who I kanged :P gonna try to build aokp now
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] dmeadows013:

[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] *Madmoose*:
Doing what I can. It's tough though as we used up most of our upgrades before the data plan change.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] dmeadows013:

[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] nitsuj17:
If you were able to get another device out to a dev aeroevan would be the way to go imo

Really the best vzw HTC aosp guy left these days :good:
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] Pandalero:
When I started this post, I was hoping Aeroevan would see it and maybe get involved. I have his CM9 ROM on my Inc2 and it's been great. I'd love nothing more than to get a CM9/10 build for the Inc4G.

If he can't get his hands on a free Inc4 somehow, I'd like to start a donation fund so we can get him a device to use for building/testing. I've never done something like that before so I'm not sure how to get that started. I know I can just click on Aero's "donate" link, but my goal would be to raise funds specifically for the purchase of an Inc4G.

I'd gladly get things started with $50. If anyone has ideas or knows the best way to go about this, jump in and let me know what to do. Let's get this thing going!
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] nitsuj17:
i think usually xda frowns upon donation pushes for devices...but i think if you had a thread that just posts his paypal and links to his past work that would probably be ok

evan's a stand up guy whos work speaks for itself, and hes about the last person who would take the money and disappear
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] Aldo101t:
yes, i guess your right, but a different launcher helps some
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] Pandalero:
Whoa, didn't know XDA had a thing against fund raisers... don't want to get myself banned. Sorry, moderators! We cool? :angel:

The thought of Evan disappearing with money never entered my mind, I just meant I'd want to put $ specifically towards this device, as opposed to the random "thanks, love your work" donation. But if that's a no-no, then it's all good.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] polarimetric:
XDA frowns upon promoting donation drives for devices primarily because of the ensuing flame wars when things don't go quite as expected. A donation device has a lot of expectations attached to it--the community wouldn't spend money on buying a device for someone if they didn't expect a solid ROM worth their while out of it. That's not a problem at all with developers that deliver on their promises, but when developers don't quite live up to community expectations, the resulting situation can get pretty heated. (The HTC Desire was a fantastic example of both ends of the deal--two developers that I know of got donation devices. One went on to develop a number of popular ROMs for the device, another released a booting-and-not-much-else port, largely disappeared, and then left XDA on awful terms when things got too aggressive. Not saying either side was right or wrong, just giving an example.)

That being said, a developer that is reputable with a long history of successful development should not be a problem, and it should be easy enough to organize an "off-the-books" donation drive. I wouldn't recommend making a thread, but there's nothing wrong with contacting him and then encouraging certain users with this device to use his donate button. He'll know what it's for.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] aeroevan:
While I would love to have the device, I feel like if people donated to get me one they would feel entitled to something and I can't make any guarantees that I would be able to get data working on AOSP...

I'm also in a rather busy time in my life... finishing my degree, should be starting a real job in a few months, and getting married so I probably won't have too much free time to work on it.

That being said, if I did somehow get the device I'm sure I would find some time to play with it :)
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] con247:
If I can get the phone unlocked and I hate it as a phone I'll send you the one I am getting assuming mad moose is ok with it.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] Pandalero:
Makes sense, thanks for the explanation. I guess I didn't think of things going down that road.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] Pandalero:
I totally understand the time commitment factor... and the entitlement/expectation thing. I'm probably just getting a little too excited for AOSP considering how new this device is... Google throws Jelly Bean at us and I'm like a kid waiting for Christmas.

On an unrelated note, why is your CM9 build for the Inc2 classified as "unofficial"? What would it take to make it official and have it added to the CM download site? How does that all work?
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] aeroevan:
The camera code still hasn't been merged in, after (if?) that gets merged in official builds should be a possibility.

Until then I'll keep doing my unofficial build :)
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] dmeadows013:
Got a build :P PM me if you want to test. First 2 people get it. You need to be able to logcat :D
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] Pandalero:
Ah, I see. Well, thanks for all of your time and hard work. :good:
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] polarimetric:
Very exciting! Unfortunately can't test because I failed to get on the HTCdev unlock bandwagon before it stopped working, but excited to hear more.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] andybones:
still need a tester :)???
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] *Madmoose*:
Don't know how I missed this post yesterday. Anything that moves this phone forward is progress imo. Do whatever needs to be done honestly. I claim no hold over that phone. Send it, Ship it, Brick it...all on you guys at this point. I'm just hoping it proves a useful tool for progress. :)
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] andybones:
dude you are seriously one amazing kind and generous person.

Thank you for the donation towards the bettering of this community.:good:

if ocn doenst like it, or doesn't mind, I think aerovan is he has the time should play with it.. can't hurt.

and like he said , he doesn't owe us anything, his free time is enough,

same to con!

awesomeness going on already, this is def going to be a great community, I can already tell (knock on wood) hehe.

Apple doesn't hold this patent, because Blackberry's could do it before Apple started using it.
[Nexus 7 General] Locklear308:
You cannot patent "Magnet unlocks screen". That is far too board. It would need to be a specific exact way of doing so.

If they are allowed that, then I am allowed to patent phone chargers.
[Nexus 7 General] angrygnome:
That made me laugh. :D
[Nexus 7 General] ghost-5:
I don't know. In my opinion that is a good hardware idea and should be patented,with more specifics rather than just stating a magnet.

But if what the person above says is true about blackberry doing it first then no they shouldn't be able to patent it.
[Nexus 7 General] Cel1084:
Not if they put the magnet on the side near the hing. This could also get around apples patent issue. Once the covers open the the magnet would still be far enough away not to effect it. It would still work the same.

[Nexus 7 General] FiveOhFour:
They dont actually, not in the manner in which you suggest at least. As far as patents go, and especially Apple patents their patent in regards to the smart cover is not at all broad and doesn't attempt to cover the entire smart cover like you say as if to suggest anything that covers the screen with a material and comes in various infringes on it, and if you throw in a magnet than you are really pushing it. Not at all, first and most obvious the tech. has been around, blackberry used it before apple in their cases to sleep the phone and display instantly upon sliding it into their cases and laptops long before that used magnets when closing to sleep/hibernate and just powersave the screen. Apples patent in RE: Smart covers is only for magnets to the degree they are used in the smart cover to attatch the cover to the device quickly and easily and have it automatically align and snap in and also allowing the the cover to be easily removed with ha certain amount of force but stay attatched and secured. Anyway point being there is no way even Apple would attempt to say they have this patented. I feel like theyve got enough crazy stuff patented to not need to throw ones in that they actually dont have. here is the details of their actual smart cover patent. http://www.engadget.com/2012/03/20/apple-snags-a-patent-for-the-smart-covers-magnetic-know-how/

Is there a way to swap the double home tap to open recent apps and long press to open Google voice actions which is just so much better than svoice. It would be far more convenient than having to long press to get into my recent apps which is such a great feature but goes unused because I really hate long pressing.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] dLo GSR:
you can disable s-voice launching by going into s-voice and going to settings -> launch s voice and uncheck it.

as for search, the best i can say is use nova launcher and set the long-press menu to voice search.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] x_SCOS_x_ELITE:
that is a great idea, i also wonder if this type of mod is possible, i will look into it
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] Juicy92:
Ahh I use apex. I will check for this setting. Thanks for the tip, will report back
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] Juicy92:
, okay, so for anyone who cares. I change the apex launcher home button key function so that it launches my recent apps. This makes it so when I double tap the home key it will go home and then to reset apps. So that is done. I could not change the long home press button binding to anything at all so I created a short cut and put it in my dock so I just created a voice search shortcut and placed it next to the dialer in my dock. This makes it much easier to access the voice search menu. It also lets me not use svoice which sucks. And lastly, I use to place my camera app next to the dialer in my dock, I have now changed it to the pinch in gesture in apex launcher which makes the camera app load really fast and it is very very convenient. I recommend anybody using apex launcher to try this method to open up the camera, you will not regret it
