Hi all. I've been doing a lot of tinkering with the music and picture applications. I wanted to update anyone interested on where we stand. Although the media provider mod is great, it comes with a few complications.

1- The HTC picture gallery will no longer see your pictures. (sdcard or emmc)

2- Due to the above issue, even with the HTC picture gallery installed, you will not be able to select a contact photo from the htc 'people app'. The workaround is to find the picture in the 3d gallery, hit menu, and 'set-as' contact photo.

3- Interrelated issue, you will not able to add a caption to pictures if you share them via friendstream. (i'm not sure why this makes a difference, but it does)

4- Although the 3d gallery can read from emmc, the camera will not save to internal storage (sd card only)

With the above issues in mind, I have decided to pull the media provider mod from the 0.7 beta and offer it as an add-on.

What this means to you

-FriendStream will allow adding captions to shared photos

-Address book will allow you to manually select contact photos

-3d gallery will only read from the sdcard (no emmc/internal storage)

-Vanilla music app will only read from the sd card (no emmc/internal storage)

-HTC picture gallery will be added back to the rom (full emmc and sdcard access)

-HTC music app will be added to the rom (full emmc and sdcard access)

-Camera app will allow saving to either emmc or sdcard

-Camera app will use the htc gallery as its default gallery

The media provider mod will be a separate update.zip.

Now keep this in mind. This is not a permanent solution. I will continue to work on getting the media provider mod to a fully functional state. My goal is to use it in the final release. (Hopefully I can get the kinks worked out).

Expect 0.7 this afternoon. Thanks for your understanding.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] aostl:
Any chance the Twitter/Windstream issue will be resolved?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] deficitism:
Yes. I have a couple REALLY cool features coming in 0.7. Hang tight.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] aostl:
Awesome. Thanks for this Rom its great. No wipe coming from .6?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Triumph23:
Sounds great...quick question. I installed the EVO camera upgrade that is available inthe ROM Manager in the Virtuous Extras. I really like this camera better thanks to the touch screen shutter. Will this be a problem when upgrading to 0.7 as you are doing things with the camera app?

Thanks!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] coontag:
Between all the great Rom makers kicking out updates I'm lucky to keep a Rom 3 days. Looking forward to flashing tonight ;)

Sent from work's toilet
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Echoes of Time:
Nah, I'm having the same issue. All of my contacts are linked, but some of the People contact pictures update to the newer ones, while some remain as the old Facebook profile pictures.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] deficitism:
Bumpdate! 0.8 Beta Added!

I'm super stoked to announce the 0.8 beta! Tons of new fixes, features, and updates! Check the OP. If you are flashing-over without wipe, PLEASE read the 'important notes' outlined in red.

We now have a reboot option in the power menu! You can reboot to standard, recovery, or bootloader via the long-press power button.

The lockscreen has been updated to the tab slide-to-unlock WITH music controls.

Media Scanner has been fixed, allowing HTC Gallery to see all of your pictures.

3D Gallery and Vanilla Music apps still have full access to SDCARD and EMMC!

Wifi Tether has been updated to 2.05 pre-9

Boot Image modified to enable usb debugging by default

HTC Twitter and HTC Picture Gallery Added!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Hatman41:
Flashing it now to check it out :)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] mrchambo:

[Droid Incredible Android Development] Hatman41:
Ok HUGE problem with this one...it keeps FC'ing after I install it and go through the setup wizard. says Proccess.com.htc.launcher has stopped unexpectantly and keeps looping. I will have to restore my last nand. I did a full clean wipe when I did this install.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] deficitism:
updated op with fix. enjoy!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] mrchambo:
I can confirm Hatman's observation. Same exact behavior here...

jc
[Droid Incredible Android Development] deficitism:

[Droid Incredible Android Development] icountFOR2:
loved .6 cant wait to try .8

keep up the great work!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Hatman41:
I do not use twitter anyway. I went and removed that apk and rezipped it. Going to try it now :)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] ihtfp69:
Looks awesome!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Hatman41:
Ok after removing the twitter.apk and installing the ROM it works great :)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Hatman41:
I do have a question....is there any way to tell the default music player to just play music in a paticular directory?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Jayneo74:
Can't seem to find the Rom

I'm pretty sure I read that this ROM is in Rom Manager but can't seem to find it in there? Any help would be appreciated. Want to try this one out after reading all the info. In the past week I've tried Virtuous, Redemption and wanted to give this one a shot.

Thanks for any help to what I'm doing wrong or were I'm not looking for this.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] mrchambo:
Not in ROM Manager yet, to my knowledge.

Will have to wait until def reposts the corrected beta.08 unless hatman wants to upload his corrected copy.

jc
[Droid Incredible Android Development] deficitism:
op updated with fix. htctwitter removed. thanks for your patience.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] mrchambo:
no, the thanks go to you, def...

[Droid Incredible Android Development] aostl:
This is a great rom. However neither the setup wizard or HTC mail will let me sync my live account. Also, where is the peep app in the virtuous section?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Hatman41:
Blue Theme

For anyone interested I ported over a blue theme for this ROM. I take no credit as I am not a themer not did I create this theme.

Download it ---->>> http://www.mediafire.com/?edaz4f2aokie0wo

Just install via ROM manager or recovery.

Credits for this theme goto djkms and Drukan as I took parts of both of their themes to make this one.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] rock28:
I've noticed two things with .8.

1) the HTC music widget is missing

2) clicking the time in HTC weather/home widget doesn't bring you to the clock. I imagine this is due to the rotary lock screen, right?

Otherwise, everything else seems to work fine.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Hatman41:
There is no rotary lock screen on this ROM. I click on the time in the HTC weather/home widget and it brings up the clock.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] deficitism:
Both of these items are normal. HTC music was pulled from the rom. And HTC alarm clock was pulled as well. They are redundant.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Hatman41:
Oops I added the clock back with my Theme :) Guess I will have to redo your apk with the blue files instead.

***Edit***

Redid the HTcClockWidget.apk that came with this ROM to work as the ROM maker wanted. It is blue though :)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] rock28:
Sorry, I misspoke. I meant the slide-to-unlock screen.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Echoes of Time:
Love this ROM, and 0.8 was an awesome update.

The only thing I would really love to see from it is something that was promised in the official Froyo build, though I haven't seen outside of Cyanogenmod- that is, an automatic brightness option in the power control widget.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Hatman41:
Think I am done porting Themes. No one ever downloads them so from now on I am just going to port them for my own use.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] thatdudebutch:
No way man, share! Let's see the clock widget.. Every thought about porting a theme like Smoked Glass?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Hatman41:
Check out post #140 I have a link to the theme and it does include the clock widget. Give me a link to the smoke and I will port it for ya.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] thatdudebutch:
Here ya go man, the link I have is for the ROM. To me it's the sickest theme out there.. check it: http://www.droidforums.net/forum/adamz/29999-rom-tgz-smoked-glass-v6-0-03-15-android-2-1-ese53.html
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Hatman41:
I will see what I can do. This ROM is for 2.1 but that should not make a dif if I am just using the .png files. It will be a little dif as the beta v0.8 has a differnt main screen. Just keep in mind I am not a progrmmer or themer. We shall see what I can do though :)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] thatdudebutch:
Sweet man! Yeah I mean they main parts would be incorporating the status/notification bar theme into uncommon sense's framework w/o while keeping the signal bars, etc. I think the rest would be straight forward, just packaging the apps and some other crap. I am just now looking into doing themes as well as Photoshop, so in that regard I am an epic noob.

:)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Hatman41:
Well all I can say is do not expect to much. If I were a programmer then I could prolly do it. I will see what it looks like.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] thatdudebutch:
cool cool

[Droid Incredible Android Development] deficitism:
I do like what the dev did with the vanilla widgets. I will do something similar for the last beta release.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Hatman41:
Well this is to complicated for me sorry. I could not figure out where the smoke theme was inside the ROM.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] thatdudebutch:
ok man thanks anyway
[Droid Incredible Android Development] ogkhaze:
Can you post some more screen shots please :)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] thatdudebutch:
Dude.. There's like 7 shots in the OP..
[Droid Incredible Android Development] ddonalson:
Thank you so much..I've been using this ROM since .6 and just upgraded to .8 and I am very happy with it.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] radiohead14:
awesome.. keep up the great work!

will you be adding the option to remap the rosie bar?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] deficitism:
Absolutely! Once we are out of beta, all of the rosie remaps will be available.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Itismetravis:
love it.....thanks guys cant wait for the rosie remaps!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] ogkhaze:
Is there anyway you can give us an option to uninstall the media buttons off the lockscreen?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] aostl:
I absolutely love the look and feel of this Rom. I want it to be my daily driver so bad. But I can't seem to get the friendstream widget to sync with peep. I can even get peep on the phone working. The friendstream app even syncs with peep. But the widget won't. Is there a fix for this on the horizon? Regardless great work dev
[Droid Incredible Android Development] deficitism:
yes. there is a fix on the horizon. :)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] aostl:
Nice!!! Can't wait
[Droid Incredible Android Development] aostl:
If it helps at all... peep doesn't cause the HTC launcher to repeatedlyforce close if you have signed in to Facebook for sense. Even after you remove Facebook for sense. That's how I got it to sync with friendstream app. It just wouldn't show on the widget.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] radmeck:
This ROM is totally wicked!

I was running SkyRaider 2.5 for the first few months I had my DInc and had recently moved on to Virtuous because I wasn't sure I liked the direction of SkyRaider 3. After loading USense 0.8 last night it has quickly become my new favorite ROM! Super slick and so far very stable for me - you should re-badge it as Wicked Sense!

I'm really digging the lock screen and the reboot options - awesome additions...

Would it be possible to add/integrate any of the following?

1. Add an option under settings to disable USB bebugging notification. I found the code to make this happen on GitHub but wasn't sure if the necessary changes could be made to a Sense-based ROM. Settings.java and NotificationManagerService.java would need to be changed in source unless someone knows how to make the changes to the smali files.

Disable USB Debug Notification on GitHub - github.com/leonnib4/frameworks_base/commit/78d4835732d5f62fdc5de4e2f01beeb65d3babf9

2. Make the Play button on the lock screen a long press or a downward swipe to avoid accidental presses.

3. Make the HTC sense clock/weather widget open the Vanilla Clock app when you click on the time (not sure if changing an HTC widget in this manner is even possible).

Keep up the awesome work!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] TD7424:
ROM is working great on my phone! Great Job! Only question I have is, can we get the current clock app rather than one in the ROM?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] sectorsymmetric:
virtuous 2.7 user, here...can we get a compare and contrast between uc and the skyraider 3.0 vanilla release? I started out on cyanogen, but switch to SR then virtuous mostly because of emmc..id love to get back to a more "seenseless" experience ala cyanogen, but do want to keep some of my current features (such as the custom rom in virtuous..it has *excellent* batt life..i also do prefer the htc phone app..and what's up with the uncustimizable power control widget in sense?)

also: am I the only one completely underwhelmed by rosie? I much prefer adw (running it over rosie as we speak) ..what's the rationale for keeping it around (esp. since it requires a flash to re-map, unlike adw, which is far more customizable to boot)..is this just about perf and batt drain or am I missing something?

I'm excited to hopefully check this rom out soon and would like to learn more about it.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] thatdudebutch:
If you hate sense this isn't the ROM for you lol.. Rosie imo performs outstanding, and scrolls so smooth. No home replacement can replicate it. If you're looking for something AOSP, check out ruby or something.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] bhazard451:
Rose is not smooth at all compared to adw or launcherpro. You can use socalmiles' rosie removal script on this Rom.... it works great.

I can't install flash or angry birds though for some reason.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] DRW315:
Still loving this ROM, by far my daily driver. I did a full wipe for v0.8 and my google contacts now sync, it was probably user error on my part the first go round (not wiping or something to do with titanium backup).

I'd love to see a way to use the HTC clock widget that shows dual time zones. Far from a deal breaker. The only other bug I've seen is that ROM manager functions aren't automated, if I attempt to install a ROM, backup, etc. it just boots into recovery. This is most likely a ROM manager issue as it's happened on a couple ROMs now. I'd love to see this in ROM manager (maybe once out of beta?).

Keep up the GREAT work!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jewillia:
I'm really enjoying this ROM so far. Thanks for the great work.

I'm wondering if there is something I need to do in ROM manager or somewhere else to be able to install things from the Virtuous EZ customizer. The only one I have the option to install is Footprints. All of the rest say "Remove ...".
[Droid Incredible Android Development] ardax:
No, there's nothing you need to do. EZ Customizer only allows for installing Footprints, most everything else is already installed, and everything's there on Uncommon Sense. What are you trying to install?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Crimton:
i started out on rosie of course when i first got my phone, i used it for a few weeks i guess then switched to launcher pro. i thought LP was awesome and still do because of all the features and settings so i've been on LP for a couple months now. i recently decided i needed a change and started using rosie again and i must say i really think rosie is so much smoother than LP is. now as far as awesome customizations LP is #1, but rosie has a very fluid immediate response that i really like. sense also has some widgets that i missed and the htc news widget is great, haven't been able to find anything similar in the market to use in LP.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] thatdudebutch:
+11111
[Droid Incredible Android Development] deficitism:
I could not have said this better myself. There is a certain fluid movement that makes rosie unbeatable by any third party launcher.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] ACD168:
This is HTC Sense. Rosie is just the launcher.
[Vibrant General] denny_1986:
hi all,

qs for the devs...can the volume rocker be "hacked" to make it wake the phone up from sleep mode? It'll be a nice addition to have and would put far less stress on the power button!
[Vibrant General] Dasugo:
that would be a cool idea too.
[Vibrant General] Kubernetes:
It already happens if you've got music playing. Changing volume will wake the phone and screen. It's actually pretty annoying and a big cause of battery drain.
[Vibrant General] jjuice525:
I don't see why it would "stress" the power button. The feature is ok IMO and i don't think the volume feature you want to add is necessary. As long as you don't abuse on it or press hard on it it should't be a problem.
[Epic 4G General] Kafluke:
I don't have a DNLA enabled tv but I have a PS3 that I can view streaming video from my pc. Allshare see's my PC so how do I set this up? I'm using windows 7 64 Ultimate.

I want to be able to be sitting in front of my LCD TV in my bedroom and hit a button on my epic and have my TV play my 720p video.

Can someone explain this process for me please?
[Epic 4G General] rufflez2010:
1. You have to have a wireless router with either DLNA or UPnP enabled

2. Be on the same network

3. Fire up allshare and select from phone t other device

4. Select find media servers on the ps3 and select samsung phone.

5. Find the 720p video you want to stream and hit triangle and select copy

6. When that's done copying, hit play from xmb

Actually, I just tried this but I get unsupported data. Movies on my sd card work though.
[Epic 4G General] Kafluke:
1. I have a Linksys RangePlus Wireless Router WRT110 (I looked through all the tabs on the setup screen and can't find UPnP or DLNA)

2. Check

3. That's not one of the options, here are the three options:

-Play file from my phone on another player

-Play file from server on my phone

-Play file from server on another player via my phone

4. It only finds my pc media servers
[Epic 4G General] Whosdaman:
The PS3 can see the Epic...so just cut out the PC
[Epic 4G General] Kafluke:
Can you please help me to accomplish this? I tried the steps above with the results in my post. It's not working for me.
[Epic 4G General] Kafluke:
If the PS3 can connect directly to the epic then please explain these steps because I'd love to cut out the middle man so to speak.
[Epic 4G General] othan1:
Just Open allshare.

Look at your video/pictures/music menus on your PS3. Ta-da!

It's that easy.

The PS3 won't play your personal videos, though, so that sucks big time because it kind of defeats the purpose of why I want to use my PS3. If I want to watch movies through it, I'll just pop in the DVD.
[Epic 4G General] rufflez2010:
1. If you can see your computer, your router supports it

2. Good

3. The first option on #3. Play file from my phone to another player (ps3).

4. Check for media servers after you've selected the file you want to play on the ps3.

Report success/failure. I'll try to help remotely. PM me if still having troubles.

After google searching, your router may not technically support it, but if it sees your PC, I don't see how it couldn't. Log into your router's settings. Select Administration. Select Management. You should see Web Access, Remote Access and UPnP. Make sure its enabled. If not, try a firmware update for the router and see if its visible after that. Careful with the firmware updates, usually, you can't roll back.
[Epic 4G General] Kafluke:
Well router UPnP is on:

Still no love though. Epic says "No devices":
[Epic 4G General] othan1:
Yeah. You won't be able to do anything with your PS3 on your Epic. It's a one way street. You can view some video formats on your phone through the PS3 but not the other way around.
[Epic 4G General] Kafluke:
That's all I'm trying to do. I have recorded some 720p videos with the epic and so far I haven't found a good and easy way to play them on my HD TV. I'm not trying to go the other way.
[Epic 4G General] rufflez2010:
Well that won't work. You would need to send the video to the computer and have it transcoded to the ps3 cause it doesn't have the codec to view it. It pops up as unsupported data on the ps3. Windows media player will convert the video automatically (transcode) on the fly. Ill do a video for you on how to do both.
[Epic 4G General] Kafluke:
I'd really appreciate that! One of the selling points for the phone was the allshare capability but since I don't have a DNLA TV I have to find other ways to make it work.
[Epic 4G General] othan1:
Yeah, I'd appreciate it, too.
[Epic 4G General] rufflez2010:
As promised, here is a tutorial on the allshare to ps3. You must be logged into the playstation network. UPnP said not supported when I setup my ps3 to my network. I'm not really sure why SinCity does what it does when trying to share the file, others have worked better in the past. I'm still looking for a transcoding program for windows. It appears that Windows media player no longer does this (sorry, had a mac for the past 2 years, just bought a new windows beast today).

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ysN2pgWiOHg

Example of transcoding on a mac
[Epic 4G General] Whosdaman:
The Epic and the PS3 go both ways. If you want to view pictures from the PS3 on your Epic. You have to turn on Media Server on PS3 and connect your Epic to the same network as your PS3. Turn on AllShare and select "Play File from server on my phone."

And then if you want to go from Epic to PS3, Click Play File from my phone on another player. And select the epic on the PS3....your done!
[Epic 4G General] Kafluke:
You've just described the exact same thing that a couple of other posts did. It's not working! I have my ps3 and my epic on the same wifi and the ps3 can see my windows pc just fine.

Please don't post unless you have something you can contribute. Posts like, "you just select allshare and it works" are useless. Read the thread, there are already posts like yours. We're looking for complete steps because for some of us its not just a matter of "finding" your epic on your ps3 media server search.
[Epic 4G General] Kafluke:
You have to be signed in to psn? Thats a problem because I don't want to update my firmware (psfreedom)
[Epic 4G General] rufflez2010:
I thought you did in order to get media servers to work... maybe thats the issue? I wasn't 100% sure. I'll try signing out and reporting back... Please hold

Update: Nope, its finding my desktop's media server despite having an update now. Thats not your issue... My bet is on a router. Know anyone else with a PS3 you could try this with?
