[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] AbsolutZeroGI:
This is probably my 2nd or 3rd favorite ROM for the MTS right now. My only issue is that I can't find any of the touchwiz widgets (long pressed, went to touchwiz to find an empty menu). I love social networking but I hate FB for Android (and Myspace Mobile too), so I was really looking forward to using the TouchWiz widget for this.

Not a deal breaker though, wonderful ROM, saved in the "database" for future use :)
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] GoCkillaz:
The widgets haven't been ported yet. We're waiting on S-OFF before we can really do anything.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] AbsolutZeroGI:
And I have no doubt it's a work in progress, so I shall await the gloriousness of the widgets :)
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] DanDigity:
Hey thanks man, this is probably my favorite rom so far!
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] JeezyMT3G:
How is this rom goin??? or was it abandoned too??

just got a slide(yesterday)...i know i know..

and rooted it also...

and this whole touchwiz looks bad ass

id like to see more of it..

or a port of MiUi
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] acejoker25000:
Dev moved onto the hd2 so yea rom is dead
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] JeezyMT3G:
Ahhh that sucks..

ill still give this rom a try even if its a lil broken....

someone should really "revive" this phone development

[Desire General] alzone67:
More information added in my 3rd post below...

I've searched the forums, googled and tried praying to the smartphone gods and I can't find an answer. Maybe you guys can help.

I downloaded a ruu that got half way through the process when it said I was using the wrong ruu and to instigate the recovery procedure - which I did. Unfortunately the phone didn't go into the white startup screen (the one you get if you hold the return key while turning on) with the recovery option, when rebooted, therefore preventing it's recovery.

The phone has the green charging light when pluged into usb but there is no 'HTC' screen or anything when trying to boot it. Just a black screen. I removed the battery and all I get is a vibration when turning it on and that's it, although on a few occasions the buttons on the bottom of the unit have lit up but to no avail.

Forgive me if the details are vague but it's all I have. I hope someone can help...

Al
[Desire General] elmalote:
Do you have slcd desire and did you use the correct ruu?

Do you have custom recovery ?

Sent from my HTC Desire
[Desire General] alzone67:
I think I used the incorrect ruu; that's why it sent me to recovery mode. I think it's AMOLED which is why I picked the ruu I did but it is a 2.1 phone and I was trying to get to 2.2. I think I used the wrong ruu...

No, I don't have custom recovery.

Thankyou for helping so quickly.

Al
[Desire General] alzone67:
Anyone have any idea? I get the feeling this phone is truely bricked...
[Desire General] teppic74:
Which ruu did you use to begin with? Was it previously branded?

A generally safe way to recover any phone is to flash the froyo ruu, but you may need a goldcard for that. Start the phone in fastboot mode to get the ruu to work.
[Desire General] alzone67:
The issue is it won't go into fastboot. Just a black screen when I try to turn on the power. The ruu failed and said it couldn't see the phone and to remove the battery and then power on to recover the original rom - that's when it started not working.

I know how to get the fastboot screen but with this phone the screen will not come on.

The ruu i used was: RUU_Bravo_HTC_Europe_1.15.405.3_Radio_32.30.00.28U_4.05.00.11_release_121865.exe

It was branded to t-mobile and was trying to debrand it. I created a goldcard as well. I have all the drivers needed on my PC but my PC can't see the Desire via USB. USB bricked solutions won't work because I can't get the phone to power up - well the buttons on the bottom light up and the phone vibrates but that's it.

Perhaps my first bricked phone? :confused:

Al
[Desire General] nzdcoy:
don't worry. because of the feedback you are getting (buttons lighting up, green charge light and vibrate on startup), it is not a true brick. it should be recoverable.

edit: try this (edited from here)

if you don't trust the ruu you have got, I recommend you download a fresh one that suits the screen you have (whether it be slcd or amoled).
[Desire General] alzone67:
Yeah I have tried that but I am downloading another ruu as I type.

The hboot on this phone was 0.75. Can you (or anyone else) recommend a ruu to suit?

Thanks for the input. I'll keep plugging away...

Al
[Desire General] !PANDA:
Just make sure you know which screen version you have and find a ruu file that has a higher build number then the one that you have installed, if its lower you will get a bootloader error

Hope this help!
[Desire General] alzone67:
Ok. The phone isn't bricked but I still have the black screen.

The update.zip didn't work as per here but I have successfully installed ruu:

RUU_Bravo_HTC_WWE_1.21.405.2_Radio_32.36.00.28U_4.06.00.02_2_release_126984_signed

I still get the BSOD (Black Screen Of Death), though.

Anyone have any thoughts on a ruu I should install or do I need to try a different process? Also, how do I find my screen version? I can't see the screen - is there a prog I can use???

Thanks for the help.

Al
[Desire General] nzdcoy:
I dont think there is a program to identify them, I read elsewhere that even HTC doesn't have systems to show which IMEIs were shipped with SLCD or AMOLED displays at this time.

ala the SLCD Brick page, have you tried the ruu they provide? http://shipped-roms.com/shipped/Bra...1.00.32U_4.08.00.09_release_137222_signed.exe

the login and p/w are shipped
[Desire General] alzone67:
You, Sir, are my new idol. That ruu did the trick. The desire is now running super fast and is everything I ever hoped for.

A big thankyou to you and to everyone else who helped guide me through this process.

Cheers!!!

Al
[Desire General] EddyOS:
Now you've got that ROM the next step is to go to 2.2 (which you can do now or wait for the OTA updates to start again). Just make sure you leave your gold card in (if you had to use one in the first place)
[Desire General] alzone67:
I have saved the gold card for just this thing - the phone had a 4Gb card (my gold card) but I use a 32Gb for my music. <n00b>How do I get the phone to 2.2 (do I use another ruu?) and is it worth it?</n00b>

Al
[Desire General] EddyOS:
Click on the version number in my signature (it's a link to the full RUU)
[Desire General] alzone67:
Yay!

Nevermind. The phone is updating automatically. How cool is that?

Thanks Eddy.

I have been having 'successful phone upgrading celebratory' drinks so bear with me...

Is it worth going 2.1 -> 2.2?? I seem to recall reading some where that 2.2 ain't all that it's cracked up to be - or am I mistaken?

Cheers,

Al
[Desire General] EddyOS:
It's better than 2.1 IMO
[Desire General] alzone67:
Thanks Eddy. I am going for it...

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] SteelH:
This reference assumes that you already know how to recompile a framework file using smali/baksmali.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] ShadowDrake:
You're my hero for this, steel.

Just saying.

This is something that has driven me straight up the wall. Having so many useless icons means that when I finally do get some notifications, they get pushed right off the edge. I really can only seem to fit ~4 notifications most of the time before I get the arrow.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] mrcharlesiv:
Well I've got the necessary lines changed to take out the location icons... Now to repackage it. Thanks for this!
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] mrcharlesiv:
Uh... I've never signed a .jar before. Anyone???

EDIT: I attached the services.jar I edited. It has to be signed for the phone to even boot up. Hopefully someone can sign this.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] webby_s:
This is hot... I like it a lot. I have been looking for something like this for quiet awhile. Now to read up on smali/baksmali. I know how to edit a .jar file but there are "files" within that file.... Great... But I have to learn at least one thing a day right. If anyone has insight for me feel free to enlighten us but google search will suffice for now.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] mrcharlesiv:
Start here: http://code.google.com/p/smali/.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] xak944:
Thank you very much for posting this. This has been something bothering me since I got the device.

I have no idea how to use these tools, but I will figure them out. ;)

EDIT: Figured it out. The steps worked! My taskbar is so clean and beautiful now! :D

Here are some VERY BASIC directions. Use at your own risk. They worked for me.

Make a backup of your services.jar on your device (or alternatively make a nandroid backup): adb shell cp /system/framework/services.jar /system/framework/services.jar.bak

Get services.jar from your device: adb pull /system/framework/services.jar .

Extract classes.dex from services.jar

Decompile the .dex file: java -jar baksmali.jar classes.dex -o outputdir

Make desired edits to the files now in outputdir/

Recompile the .dex file: java -Xmx512M -jar smali.jar outputdir/ -o classes.dex

Add the new (modified) classes.dex file to the existing services.jar file (which is actually a zip file)

Cross your fingers and push services.jar back to your device: adb push services.jar /system/framework/services.jar

Reboot device: adb reboot
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] EVOme:
How about someone post two edited and signed files to share with everyone else...?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] xak944:
I believe (please correct me if I'm wrong) the services.jar could be different in certain ROMs or themes. It's better to make the edits yourself on the file that came off your device to preserve the integrity of the rest of your system.

EDIT: What we need is an app that makes the edits on the device for us... ;)
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] EVOme:
Thanks, Xak
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] xak944:
Sure thing. By the way, I love (and concur with) your avatar :D
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] mrcharlesiv:
So, as usual, I made this a lot more complicated than it needs to be. Somehow I was un-signing services.jar. I don't know. I got it to work now though. WORD!
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] lazyboy0172:
many thanks to xak and the OP. with your help i was easily able to get rid of that pesky gps on/off icon! i appreciate the tips
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] freeza:
Nice, this made me learn smali/baksmali and edit services.jar according to what I want.

Thanks!
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] SteelH:
Very useful information about services.jar, smali/baksmali, classes.dex can be found HERE

As someone else mentioned, they learned how to use smali/baksmali and do customizations themselves. My OP along with the link posted here gives you all the info you need to perform these mods yourself, and at the same time you will learn a great deal on customizing your evo; The benefits of which are endless!

One final note, you need to use the services.jar from the ROM you are running, THEY ARE NOT interchangeable due to the fact that almost all ROM devs add some customizations into their roms.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] ydnandy:
SteelH - thanks for posting this! I love learning new things, so this was interesting... wasn't exactly sure where to start though, so these steps from xak were a great help.

In addition to these steps, I wanted to mention a few things... these might be obvious to most, but hopefully they help someone.

- to extract and re-add classes.dex from/to services.jar, use winzip

- to modify the .smali files that Steel mentions, use notepad

- you will need to mount /system as read/write before you can push services.jar back to the phone

- it took a long time for my phone to reboot... i got pretty nervous :)

thanks again, I love not having the alarm and gps icons taking up space

i hate to say it but i cant seem to get it...i can pull a services.jar file and i can copy clesses.dex to the tools folder but im not even sure that thats right. hopefully someone can help me figure this out, i know i can do it...just need some more direction.

1. This MOD will hide the GPS status reticle and

Unlike the method of simply deleting the PNG, this method will not take up space on in your status bar (This means the other icons will shift to the right and not leave a blank spot).

This guide is a reference for the smali code changes that must be made inside of services.jar to hide the GPS status bar icons.

You need to edit HtcCdmaStatusBar.smali , which is located within services.jar under com/android/server/status.

You need to search in the smali file for the following line and change the "v4" to "v6":

Code:

invoke-virtual {v0, v1, v4}, Lcom/android/server/status/StatusBarService;->setIconVisibility(Landroid/os/IBinder;Z)V

There are two instances of this line, be sure to change them both.

thank you

Alarm removal on Myn's Warm Z TwoPointTwo

Has anyone else tried this running Myn's Warm Z Two point two. I was able to remove the GPS rectile just fine, however removing the alarm makes everything but notifications disappear on the status bar (Signal, 3G, Time,etc.) The part with removing the alarm seemed to be the same but doesn't seem to work.
