opinion

In your opinion did I make a good choice going with htc bolt or should I had gone with the lg v20. I always been an android guy and i miss the Samsung notes. And I wanted to thank everyone on this site I learned everything about phones from here rooting and all. I would like to root this phone but been out of the rooting game a few months . last time I rooted I was using odin, will it still be like that any info would be appreciated. And I'm a new member to this site so if I'm posting this question in wrong place plz advise me I do not wish to upset anyone because of my ignorance

I'm a huge HTC fanboy, I have never owned anything but HTC. I've never been immpressed by LG or Samsung. Rooting is easy on HTC I know much easier than Samsung.
[HTC Bolt / 10 Evo Questions & Answers] mscooksey21:
Any updates on this? Mine overheats from time to time as well. Also locks up and lags. I disabled apps and am running only the essentials. I guess I'll see how that works.
[HTC Bolt / 10 Evo Questions & Answers] 4puttaz:
Mine gets warm but my problem is the lagging. It specifically shows up when you pan the camera around, it takes seconds for the phone to catch up to the new view plus the camera seems to be constantly trying to focus. On phone videos and crackle are very choppy - unwatchable. phone still seems to work ok, internet speeds are good, apps run and udpate.

Very frustrating as i have always liked the HTC product.
[HTC Bolt / 10 Evo Questions & Answers] eddieretsam99:
I followed the BadBoyz ROM for some time and at last this sunday decided to jump in the wagon hehehe. Took me a while to decide to finally install a custom ROM but here I am. Everything now seems so smooth and without any lag. The phone doesn't heat up as it used to when I posted this thread looking for recommendations. The internet speeds the blame is on Sprint here in PR. I flashed the MAGISK Root version of the Bad Boyz 2.0 ROM clean and no complains at the moment. Still need to test it some more, but I doubt performance will change. I'm an HTC fanboy myself and always installed custom ROMs on all my HTCs and I have to say that this is in my opinion the most stable I tried. I don't know whay I waited so long to flash a custom ROM; maybe I'm getting old hehe
[HTC Bolt / 10 Evo Questions & Answers] 4puttaz:
I too tried the Bad boyz ROM but with no luck. I factory reset my phone many times and tried all stock firmware from .11, .15, .22 and the newest as well. The lag won't go away. Cannot take videos at all because the camera wont keep up. Cannot play video, too choppy and keyboard is slow for texts, etc. I went back to s-on and locked with all factory stock. I bought the protection plan and am going to send the phone in for repair. I hope I just got a lemon. It was fine for 2 months before getting progressively worse.
[HTC Bolt / 10 Evo Questions & Answers] eddieretsam99:
Sorry to hear that. Hopefully it was just a defective unit. Still very pleased at the moment with the 2.0 ROM. Overall the phone feels more cold during regular usage (haven't done any intense gaming yet). For keyboard I didn't like the TouchPal as I found it kinda buggy so I switched to SwiftKey. Also the video runs fine here. I had for some years problems with Whatsapp media lagging and even FC a lot when opening pics and videos thinking that it was an Android related problem, but apparently it turned out to be a problem on my part. I always backed up every chat and restored with every Android new phone so even when emptied media folders the problem continued. Installed without restoring chats and the problem apparently is solved. Still need to keep testing to see if any other issue arises but at the moment still works fine. Will keep testing the ROM
[HTC Bolt / 10 Evo Questions & Answers] 4puttaz:
That is interesting. I am guilty of transferring a lot of messages. But in the end I would do a factory reset, no sd card and basic setup with no message restoration. I could tell right away if I had the same problem by opening up the camera and moving the phone around. The picture would not keep up with the phone moving. it would take a second or 2 for the phone to react to the new picture i was pointing at. Normally as you pan the camera around the picture changes with the movement. Hope yours continues to perform well
[HTC Bolt / 10 Evo Questions & Answers] OMJ:
mine had the same problem...out of the blue it started to get real laggy...it would even lag in download mode...even after flashing RUU & not restoring anything...I could tell going through setup it was still laggy...it was unbearable...I sent it to HTC for repair, it's been good ever since
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] garyHal:
With the release of 7.1.1, I am almost satisfied with the way my Pixel handles pocket awareness. The display turns on when lifting from the table or pulling out of my pants pocket. The missing feature is auto locking when pocketing the phone. Will this be an upcoming feature or an app that will handle this?

Thanks
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tjp888:
I don't know if this has been mentioned before in this forum.

Like a lot of people with the Shield Tablet, mine was getting very laggy and slow. It was at it's worse when it had been sitting idle for a while (and when not on a charger). I press the on button and it would take 2-3 minutes to become responsive. Since the "doze" function in Marshmallow sucks, I suspected that the slow down was a result of the tablet not executing the "doze" function correctly.

So I rooted the table and with the adb command of "adb shell dumpsys deviceidle disable" was able to disable doze.

Ta-da! No more issues with an unresponsive tablet since doing this. Of course, I'll have to execute this command after each reboot, but I don't care. It's a huge improvement.
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skooter32:
Why not just uninstall doze?
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Niii4:
Greenify may be the better option.
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sQeetz:
Used to have the same problem... laggines all over the place. After uninstalling Facebook and the messenger, it feels like a whole new tablet.

Download Vox Kitchen v0.2.a

Download OEM packages​

Updates :

Thanks goes to anichillus as I took a lot of inspiration from his great Hypercore Kitchen and to frauhottelmann for contributing on this kitchen with his oem packages and advices. And also to the geniuses here on xda dev who created all those wonderfull tools!

The kitchen is based on HTC_Vox_ARA_1.27.415.4_4.1.13.47_02.98.90.

Installation : The kitchen must be installed in \Vox Kitchen on the systemdrive (C:\Vox Kitchen for most of you) to work.

Organisation of the kitchen in 3 parts : Extract, Edit and Build

Extract : if you would like to use another base rom than the Ara one. But this part isn’t really developed yet…

Edit : to edit Registry (default.hv and user.hv), to create a splashscreen and also many tools for advanced rom cooking

Build : the final step. Also includes G’Reloc.

Using the kitchen :

Check out the WIKI

started by frauhottelmann. Don't hesitate to contribute, that's what wikis are for!​

Reminder : Don't forget to flash your USPL before flashing any cooked rom !!! See here : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=330909
[HTC Vox] jamin100:
It would be really good if someone with the appropiate skills could develop this... There is a huge gap for Vox ROMS
[HTC Vox] kingroach:
what is the process of removing apps from the rom.. for example if I want to remove the office 6.0 and have office 6.1 by default..
[HTC Vox] Dr. Martin Gonzo:
You should delete the Office folders in \SYS and create an OEM package (if there isn't already one available for office 6.1, I don't know...)you will copy in the \OEM folder. You can learn how to do that here : http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=1374154&postcount=138

This thread applies to the Hypercore kitchen though but the process is the same.

Keep in mind everything won't probably work the first time and that cooking roms is very time consuming!
[HTC Vox] knightcapain:
which files do i need to edit/ remove so as to remove any traces of the arabic language settings. im trying to build an eng (us) rom but i have come up to a snag.

my t9 defaults to arabic and the keyboard isnt responding

the arabic cab came up after the initial load

much thanks
[HTC Vox] Dr. Martin Gonzo:
First of all you can delete smartarabiser.cab somewhere in the \OEM folder. You can also delete the T9 arabic dll files which you should find easily in \OEM\OEMAPPS folder.

Then there is going to be some registry editing!

You should know that the registry keys I will give can be repeated through several .rgu files and also in default.hv and user.hv. So don't forget to look for all the instances of these keys. You can find them using a search program with the ability to search text inside files. For example I used SuperFinder for my rom cooking needs. And always search in OEM and SYS folders. Not only in SYS.

Here is the list of the registry keys you will have to find and how to edit them.

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Tegic\eT9]

-Edit "DefaultLanguage"=dword:0000010

This is the default language use for T9. Change the dword value to 00000109 for english if I remember correctly !

-Edit "AvailableLanguages"

These are the available languages for T9. The order is also the order they will display in the t9 language selection menu. Remove 0801 to get rid of the arabic option.

Ok that should do it. I hope I haven't forgotten any.. And sorry if it is not very clear, I wrote this fast.

Happy cooking!

Maybe I should release a version of this kitchen with arabic language already removed. Maybe you could release the kitchen once you made this modification and tested it? Many thanks if you do this as I don't have time for it myself right now.

I really hope we will get more people interested in cooking rom for our devices.
[HTC Vox] dacoon:
It's so possible to change the time for the longpress on the keyboard ???

if i want some chr like ; : / ( ) ... you musst press first Fn ... or hold the key a while ... and this while is realy long -.- ... like 500ms or something ;) ... an i want so set this to 200ms ... or more less ... to write faster ;)
[HTC Vox] knightcapain:
thanks,

i gave that a try and some how i have lost the ability to type anything on the keyboard.

anyway that you could zip up your rgu and hv's from your french rom, i could get a test rom going after i understand the changes in your rom and the ara one
[HTC Vox] Dr. Martin Gonzo:
Here you go:)

There is also something that I forgot to mention wich is sometimes the keys are even repeated in the same file !:confused:

I don't really know why they are repeated and if it would be safe to delete those copies..
[HTC Vox] knightcapain:
here are the changes i made to your kitchen.

if anyone is looking for the acutal changes i have left ; as a comment to the line that i have added the change to make this kitchen for north america

i have also found the provxml that will set the time zone as making the timezone changes in the rgu was very futile, well maybe excecpt finding the one for automatic time/ timezone updates. i have also included reg.chm if anyone wants to take a look at the timezone reference numbers, mind you it was pre2007 changes

if someone could oem'ize the apps in the kitchen so as to make fully customizable please do so for the greater good, lol

all creds go to Dr Gonzo for his mighty effort in bringing this kitchen to the masses, all i did was hack it for north america

so enjoy, and merry xmas
[HTC Vox] makaveli86:
hey so this isnt probably the best response, i just got my vox and entered the world of hacking :). modding a phone is new to me (flashed many other devices) so can someone real quickly tell me what flashing with something like 'the kitchen' rom allows us to do?
[HTC Vox] Dr. Martin Gonzo:
I don't really know if I undrstood your question but the kitchen is not actually a rom. It is a term used here on xda dev to describe an organised set of tools to modify an preexisting rom. The kitchen is where you "cook" roms. And users of the kitchens are called "cooks":)
[HTC Vox] makaveli86:
oh ok, that makes sense! :) now flashing a rom, like the ARA rom, will that enhance the performance of the phone and make the interface also look better? just curious to what 'roms' provide the user. Also, what is the most preferred rom for the Vox at the moment? thanks again for your quick reply, appreciate it
[HTC Vox] Dr. Martin Gonzo:
Flashing an official rom like the Ara one won't change your interface. It made my phone faster though
[HTC Vox] makaveli86:
oh ok, but what about flashing using your rom, will it make it run faster (cause i love your interface). my phones never been flashed, could you direct me on how i'd go about getting it flashed? do i need a storage card, cause right now i dont have one. thanks again
[HTC Vox] fooogooo:
Great new kitchen !

Easier to use and understand.
[HTC Vox] makaveli86:
so do i need a storage device inorder to flash it? has anyone written a tutorial on it yet? what are the basic steps i have to do, also read about backing up my original rom, i would like to do this too incase i brick it, lol. thanks for all your help guys
[HTC Vox] Dr. Martin Gonzo:
No need for a storage card, just an activesync connection :)

I can not help you to backup your existing rom as I never did it. hope others will e able to explain this to you.

However if you've never flashed a rom I don't recommand you to start cooking already. If you want to try my rom however you should have asked your question in this thread.:) I'm currently adding a very quick guide on how to install the rom. You will find it at the end of my first post.

Thanks a lot Dr. Martin Gonzo !

Downloading now ... :D

Et au fait, bonne année !
[HTC Vox] frauhottelmann:
Hey, I have a question. I downloaded your kitchen and now I was wondering if I could add German to it. I have a German S710, but with 1.16.407.1 so could I dump that ROM and somehow take the language files (and keyboard) to the new ROM??
[HTC Vox] Dr. Martin Gonzo:
Yes it could work ! :) Get all the files and I will try to help you .
[HTC Vox] frauhottelmann:
What files do I need? I dumped the ROM and extracted already so there a re a lot of files with 407 in the filename.
[HTC Vox] Dr. Martin Gonzo:
Updated first post, please use this version of this kitchen or you will have problem with .NET !

=>frauhottelmann : Yes you should collect all files with 407 in it (I think they should all be .mui files, tell me if I am wrong)

Then you should look for the specific german eT9 files : maybe they will be named something like this : eT9.Dis.9Keys.German.Kbd.dll and eT9.German.Ldb.dll.

Try to send me all of these files and I will build something for you that you will be able to test in my kitchen.
[HTC Vox] iceberg2403:
Hi, ive just been using your kitchen to build a custom rom based on the Norwegian HTC rom. I had to change some of the scripts a little and now everything seems to be working except BuildOS. It just crashes out before i can even run it...??? do you have a solution for this? :o
[HTC Vox] Dr. Martin Gonzo:
If Buildos crashes before even starting that could mean that one of your OEM packages as a different GUID for the files and inside the option.xml file. At least that is what happened to me before.

But here is also another problem with buildos which gave me a lot of headaches :) Almost made me abandon my will to create a kitchen for the Vox when I discovered the solution by pure luck\intuition :) I don't know if it is the same in your rom but here is what you should do. Place the attached dsm file (taken from a Tornado rom:D )in OEM\OEM_Lang_0409 and move the already in .dsm and .rgu files to another folder in \OEM, name it as you want.

Once Buildos as generated the files in temp\dump you can just delete the additional dsm file here (this action is actually in one of my scripts for the build process).

If it(s not already your problem I'm almost sure you will encounter it if you suceed at lauching buildos !:D
[HTC Vox] frauhottelmann:
Ok this should be everything. I searched for 407 and German and all I got is in the zip file. Another question: why don't you include the Adobe Reader LE? It is on my ROM and useful when you get a pdf via E-Mail or so. I am redownloading the new kitchen right now! :D
[HTC Vox] Dr. Martin Gonzo:
Adobe Reader LE is included but I have not made it as an available option in BuildOs, it is included by default. I'll take a look at your files later in the evening ;)
[HTC Vox] frauhottelmann:
Oh OK thanks
[HTC Vox] Dr. Martin Gonzo:
Try to put this inside the kitchen:)
[HTC Vox] iceberg2403:
Thanks Dr Gonzo, i got BuildOS working! (it was a problem with one of the dsm files.... lol) the next problem im having is when i go to build the rom, the message i get is:

"The file 'temp\dump\cgacutil.exe\imageinfo.bin' already exists."

From what i can tell, this file is used with .NET CF 3.5? It seems the file is trying to be created more than once?
[HTC Vox] raglits:
I'm having a similar problem, different files but sounds like the same thing. I'm actually assuming it's my incompetence as this is the first time I've tried anything like this. I've only ever flashed ROMs that other people have made (apart from my old Treo 650 where I was happily modifying the ROMs but that was Palm OS...)
[HTC Vox] frauhottelmann:
In which folder do I have to put it?

Thanks again
[HTC Vox] Isotopes:
Put it in the OEM folder.
[HTC Vox] frauhottelmann:
YES it works so far. But I had to take these files out of the "Your default theme" folder, otherwise I would get an error that they already exist!

[HTC Vox] frauhottelmann:
I have a different problem right now. In system fields like owner name I can't activate caps and writing in general is screwed up (like getting numbers, when ABC is selected). Any ideas?
[HTC Vox] Dr. Martin Gonzo:
=>Iceberg, raglits : yes you have to delete \SYS\NETCF folder in your new baserom in order to be able to have .NET CF 3.5 in your OEM folder.

frauhottelmann : That is because I wanted to group all theme related files in one folder but it seems like I forgot to clean things up in the SYS folder. Ooops, I will go and quickly fix this ! Thank you for your finding!

I will look inside your language problem next.

BTW : maybe I should keep all files in their original folders ?
[HTC Vox] frauhottelmann:
BTW I have a qwertz-keyboard (not qwerty) if that does change anything!?
[HTC Vox] Dr. Martin Gonzo:
Maybe try reflashing USPL ?

I'm currently building a rom with german in it to understand the problem..
[HTC Vox] frauhottelmann:
Yeah USPL was the problem, I just forgot!

Caps is working now. Don't ask me why but it does. :) :) :)

Maybe it's because I didn't have the kitchen on C:\vox kitchen :rolleyes:
[HTC Vox] frauhottelmann:
Mh it's still a little bit strange. When I type numbers in ABC in a system field with holding down long, every character after will be a number, but only when I use the numeric keyboard. At least the Caps works now on the qwertz keyboard.
[HTC Vox] Dr. Martin Gonzo:
Yes c:\Vox Kitchen is important. I don't know the solution to your new problem though... ?

Still USPL is strange, once it is flashed you don't have to do it again unless you install an official rom:confused:

Upadated the Kitchen to v0.1b
[HTC Vox] frauhottelmann:
Naaa my fault I didn't flash it! :rolleyes:
[HTC Vox] frauhottelmann:
Do you know if my qwertz keyboard would work when I choose English instead? And how can I make OEMs?

Thanks for trying
[HTC Vox] frauhottelmann:
I just noticed that I can't turn off the animations of menus and windows, it doesn't matter if I select or deselect the options it's always on. And a question: Are all the files needed for English or French in the OEM_Lang_040x folders? If that is the case then I would make such a folder and try with that (but then I don't have a xxx.dsm file! Thanks for helping
[HTC Vox] Dr. Martin Gonzo:
I don't think the folders would change something but you never know ;)

Your menu animations problem is very strange.. I don't have this I don't know. You *did* execute [2] Create ROM in BUILDROM.bat after running Buildos right ?

Something I forgot ! You should also add the content of the 2 .rgu files in the Base_Lang_0407 and Base_Lang_0407_DPI_131 folders from your original dump to the new .rgu I provided you. Can you post the resulting file once you have done this ?
[HTC Vox] frauhottelmann:
The problem is that all the *.rgu s are in one folder and there are 70 of them! Any idea?

These two folders don't exist!

If you tell me what's supposed to be in these two I can search!
[HTC Vox] Dr. Martin Gonzo:
Ho ok :) You should run Pkgtools on your dump folder (look for it by starting 2.ExtractROM.bat in the Extract part of my kitchen). All your files should get nicely organised.
[HTC Vox] frauhottelmann:
That's way batter lol

Here are the two files!
[HTC Vox] frauhottelmann:
What about the rgu in the OEM_Lang_0407? Or the whole folder? Now that the files are in order it is way easier to check the files! :) :)
[HTC Vox] Dr. Martin Gonzo:
Could you archive your dump folder and upload it on rapidshare or something else ? I'm sure I can quickly cook something !
[HTC Vox] frauhottelmann:
The whole folder? That'll take a long time to upload. Or do you want just the OEM folder?
[HTC Vox] frauhottelmann:
OK I'll upload the OEM first and then the SYS!
[HTC Vox] frauhottelmann:
OEM: http://rapidshare.com/files/81256247/OEM.exe.html

It's a sfx archive with 7zip.
[HTC Vox] frauhottelmann:
