Hey G,

Do you plan on releasing RC 3.0 at all? I was looking forward to at least some of the aesthetic improvements. It'd be nice to have a more polished version of the ROM even if you're gonna stop deving for it (which I'm really upset about). Thanks in advance!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] gmichaelow:
So I've decided not to give up yet :) The new Sense is just too good.

I'll get working on a proper RC-2.5 release.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] khanam:
Yay! That's right buddy. Old sense is booooorrrrrring... You can't even get a unified email inbox or widget! No google news reader, no translator... I could go on and on. Keep your focus on this. This is the best rom in terms of features and functionality.

To be honest, you are tired of maintaining this thread because you answer too many questions. Don't do that. It will kill you. Focus on keeping the op posts clearly detailed and answer only a few questions. If you want, a few of us will answer most of the queries for you. Just keep developing the rom and bringing in new features and tweaks. Don't waste your time answering all the posts. Let people find the answers. That is not your responsibility.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] NilsP:
Went through that urge a few times myself but the features are too good to give up.

Glad your sticking with it.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] nagasgura:
:):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):)

Yay! I'm so glad that you decided to continue development. It really is a great rom. For the HD camcorder, you could probably bake the fix on page 131 into the next release.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] khanam:
Agreed, features on new sense are way above old sense. I can't go back...
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jbdan:
You and Nils rock! thx for sticking with it
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jayinla:
I have a question about installing some HTC widget apk's. I've been able to install some HTC widgets such as Tasks (if you haven;t seen it it's amazing) battery and translator on other Z roms but when I try to install via Astro and other file programs this rom won't let it install. Just curious why and if anyone knows a workaround?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] gmichaelow:
I had to edit some signatures on the apks for my modifications. Can you upload the apks and I'll take a look?

(Tasks btw sounds really awesome)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] redsunrising:
Dang G you had me scared for a second there. I was looking for replacement ROMs and it just wasn't the same.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] gmichaelow:
Yeah, I think you're right. I'll make an FAQ sometime, and try and not answer the simpler questions.

It's so difficult not to answer questions, but it seems like the community will answer, or the user will figure it out.

Thanks khanam.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] redsunrising:
It would be awesome to keep adding the functions like you do. Honestly that's what makes this ROM so "Uber" ;)

By the way, what kernel did you choose for 2.5? Stock?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] gmichaelow:
Thanks Nils. Means a lot coming from you.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] gmichaelow:
No no, Ziggy's. He fixed the bdi flush vold errors, which helps with USB copying. Not a total fix, but at least now things copy fast, and the phone just lags up, as opposed to rebooting.

Thanks man, I know you've been with this ROM for a long time :) (And it'll be around for a long time as well :D)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] gmichaelow:
Hmm, I tried that fix, and it didn't work. Did you try it? Are you SURE 720p recording works?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jasonxlee01:
Whats this Tasks Widget? It sounds cool but idk where to get it.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jayinla:
Here you go! Thanks!

View attachment HTC_Translator_Widget.apk

View attachment com.htc.rosiewidgets.task.apk
[Droid Incredible Android Development] gadget!:
It's like an on-screen sticky note program.

Hmmm....

Tasks installed fine for me. I had installed translations earlier with no issues either but I don't use it.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] contagous:
Awesome news :) cant wait to see it
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jayinla:
What did you use to install? I tried with Astro and ES File and I get the application not installed message each time. I'm also running Uber 1.2.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] nagasgura:
Titanium Backup won't restore

In the latest RC 2.5.0, I'm experiencing some issues with titanium backup. It could be the app, or the rom, but it worked on rc 2.0.1. I can't seem to restore any of my apps. At first, it worked fine, but then it wouldn't restore the last 40 of them. I tried reflashing (wiped everything) and now it won't restore a single app. I suspect that it has to do with busybox, so i installed that from the market, however, it fails to install busybox.

Thanks in advance and keep up the great work. It's a fabulous rom.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] BarackMitzvah:
Hey, just noticed a bug that causes RC 2.5 HTC Sense to crash, I installed the non rotating custom rose over top of it too. After letting the clock and weather animation finish, HTC sense crashes (cloudy animation)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] gmichaelow:
Yes yes, gah, forgot to mention. A lot of things were redone in 2.5, no mods from before will work. I'm working on redoing them.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] gmichaelow:
Hmm. Oops, this last version doesn't have the latest busybox. I'll be sure to double check ti-backup.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] nagasgura:
Stock bootanimation

For those of you that want the stock boot animation, you can get it here: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=YUUNF8DR

TO INSTALL:

Use root explore (android market) as this can write to the system

top of screen, tap the mount button to r/w

then copy/paste bootanimation to /system/customize/resource

it will ask to overwrite the bootanimation select yes

then hightlight new bootanimation select permissions

user needs to be ticked as read and write

group needs to be ticked as read

others also ticked as read

press ok

reboot
[Droid Incredible Android Development] gmichaelow:
Yeup, same here. I just installed tasks perfectly. And translator should already be included. Did you wipe before install? It shouldn't be necessary, bit try doing that.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] gadget!:
I used Root Explorer but I doubt that is your issue, I'm running the latest Uber 2.5.0.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] BarackMitzvah:
So could I reflash the tester zip? Or is it just too risky?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] gmichaelow:
If you want you Rosie mods, roll back to 2.0.1, 2.5.0 is NOT official yet.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] dpwhitty11:
G, quick question...

Does the 400mb limit apply to things like DoubleTwist or other music syncing software?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] gmichaelow:
Nope. Only mounted drag and drop type stuff.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] dpwhitty11:
Strange... Cuz I'm syncing a massive amount of songs right now, and I've gotten 1 reboot and at least 5 Rosie FC's.

Probably due to battery temp, though. I took the cover off and placed it on glass and it seems fine so far.

*EDIT*

Rebooted again...

Odd though, I don't have to keep using the Uberscript mounting method. It just remounts itself and continues the sync.

*EDIT2*

And one bluescreen.

lol

*EDIT3*

I would just like to say that I placed my phone over a large computer fan and cooled it down to 75° and all problems went away.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] nagasgura:
75° C? That's really hot. If it gets that hot, something might be wrong. Its around 170 degrees Fahrenheit.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] RegnierD:
Haha! Yeah, I'm hoping that value is in Fahrenheit as well, otherwise his phone would be a puddle of molten plastic and whatnot. XP

I'm a romwhore, and I'm damn proud of it.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] dpwhitty11:
Lol, should have clarified, that's in °F not °C.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jayinla:
Hey G, I downloaded the 2.5 tester and love the improvements. Is there anyway to incorporate the green % battery or an option for it instead of the grey one? I've tried to metamorph it in but keep getting boot loops.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] gmichaelow:
I'll add that to the list of addons. Expect a proper release sometime towards the end of this week.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jayinla:
Great! Thanks so much for your hard work! Donation heading your way. Is it possible to also get a link to the 1.2 beta? The link in the front has expired.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] nagasgura:
What script did you use to mount and unmount in uberscript? I accidentally deleted them.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] gmichaelow:
I'll post up the apk when I get home in about an hour, you can just reinstall it :)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] gmichaelow:
Aiyah, 1.2 was on a old mirror that I can't use anymore.

Why don't you just grab 2.0.1? Oh gah, I think that link is dead as well. I'll have to put up a mirror.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jayinla:
The reason I like 1.2 is thats the last version which allows you to change out the battery as well as I really like the last used programs on the top of the notifications and last but not least, 2.0.1 does not have the option to use the wifi and bluetooth widgets.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] lazysleepyboi:
hey g, you can just use mediafire to upload your roms, i personally find it faster to download and much easier to use
[Droid Incredible Android Development] gmichaelow:
The settings widgets will be fixed in the next release.

Umm... I know many like the recent apps, but I feel that long-press home is so much more universally accessible. And it's so tricky for me to re-implement it.

I unfortunately don't have a copy of 1.2, and it sounds like the server I was hosting on removed me. (I actually forgot to remove the files myself)

If you could just post up your battery images, I can make an update zip for 2.5. Things are moving faster than expected, soooo yeah =]
[Droid Incredible Android Development] lazysleepyboi:
here's the RC1.2 files,

http://www.multiupload.com/LH5QWC1A77

and here's the green battery bar that works with rc1.2, not sure if digging into this will help you G

http://www.mediafire.com/?i1opod7i75mu0ed
[Droid Incredible Android Development] gmichaelow:
I've got hosting with Ziggy now, and a WP site that's under construction, so I'll be using that now :D

Ah thanks! :D I'm working on an awesome update.zip mod, sooo close.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jayinla:
Awesome, and thank you!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jayinla:
That would be great G. The link for the battery posted a few posts back is the one I have been using. Thanks again!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] gmichaelow:
Mhmm! =] /10char
[Droid Incredible Android Development] PGleo86:
Is it, perchance, the one on page 158...?

:D:D:D

(self-inflation is bad, I know)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Fretless:
This is the first Z rom i've been able to use as a daily. I bet if the Z gets updated to gingerbread the resulting roms will be insane.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] redsunrising:
Hey G is there any chance of getting a 5 column app drawer? kind of a minor thing, but when I was searching for potential replacement ROMs when I thought you were changing directions, I found that also very useful if you have a good quantity of apps. (Also the search made me appreciate the work you do ;) )
[Droid Incredible Android Development] dpwhitty11:
G, how hard would it be to include the screen off & screen on animations like in this?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] setexascustoms:
Added a new splash1 image, linked in OP. Hope y'all like it. :D
[Droid Incredible Android Development] gmichaelow:
Not possible, sorry. It's hidden somewhere in the GB apks, and no one can find what controls it. I'll look into an alternative way of implementing it, but that's a bit lower on my priority list xD
[Droid Incredible Android Development] gmichaelow:
Yeup! Got it done for RC3! I've got an amazing new way to modify apks, it's mind-blowing easier on me as a dev and you as a user. Looks like a weekend release coming up :D
[Droid Incredible Android Development] gmichaelow:
Towards the end of this week, I'm going to clean up my new WP, and I was wondering if you would rather I link to your post, or reupload your stuff and put links and credits there?

Same with you, gadget!, link, or is reupload okay?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] gadget!:
Whatever works best for you is fine with me.

Can't wait for the 5 column app drawer. Looking forward to the update.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] setexascustoms:
Same here, what ever's most convenient. :D
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Futur Innovations:
Could you post a link to RC3?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] trevsky9:
It's not released yet...
[Droid Incredible Android Development] gmichaelow:
This weekend is the release :) finishing up some stuff, namely mods and WP and documentation.

Thanks gadget and setexascustoms, I'll reupload to my server and put it up with credits. It'll look nicer :)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] trevsky9:
Sounds so awesome I can't wait...I love this ROM good work G, you're the man
[Droid Incredible Android Development] PGleo86:
Will there be an option for the 4 column app drawer too? I don't really like the 5 column one.

Flashable zip would be great.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jayinla:
Hey G, any chance of getting the battery update zip? I've uploaded the file.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] gmichaelow:
Yup, very easy to go back and forth.

Yup yup. I'm gonna release everything at once this weekend, as all addons are only compatible with RC3.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Futur Innovations:
What will the differences be between this one and RC3?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] gmichaelow:
Wait and see :)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] PGleo86:
Oooooh, you're such a tease :D

Can't wait for RC3 personally
[Droid Incredible Android Development] gmichaelow:
Lol, half of it is that a lot of it is still being worked out to work justttt right. And I have to do a lot more testing, so yeah xD

Don't want to get anyone's hopes up for some feature that may or may not make it you know?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jskolm:
G,

Any chance you got to look at this issue with the RC3 release? :)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] gmichaelow:
Yes of course! :D
[Droid Incredible Android Development] gmichaelow:
Okay, so I just tried a simple fix and a test. I ran:

telnet localhost

And I got:

Can't connect, connection refused.

Can you run that command in Terminal Emulator. and tell me what happens?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jskolm:
telnet: can't connect to remote host (127.0.0.1): Connection refused
[Droid Incredible Android Development] aostl:
G looks like incdoes got a thunderbolt leak to boot. Any plans for that?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] gmichaelow:
Hmm, it sounds like localhost is recognized... not sure why the app doesn't work.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] gmichaelow:
Nope. Not from ID.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] tmellen:
Are you running a telnet server to accept the connection back to local host?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] gmichaelow:
The problem is that localhost isn't recognized in the app. But the telnet localhost shows that localhost declaration in hosts is working. I don't know what else to try.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jskolm:
I am using Connectbot to forward the localhost through the ssh tunnel. This setup work on VirtuousRom, but for some reason I cannot get it to work on with UberRom.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] aostl:
Yep gotcha. Srry I eventually read the rest of that thread
[Droid Incredible Android Development] RegnierD:
Heya, G. Check your PM Inbox for me, if you would. :)

I'm a romwhore, and I'm damn proud of it.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] greenro89:
so running v2.5 or the tester 3.0 and been fine all day til now and have a google services framework force close all the time.. any help?

For anyone interested, I've got a speedometer battery / fully transparent status bar / vanilla lockscreen mod that works on this rom.

PM me if you're interested.

[Droid Incredible Android Development] gmichaelow:
If you could post up the pngs, I'll make a patch compatible with RC3.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jayinla:
Do you thin k this has something to do with the reason why the Sirius App will not stream on 3G only Wifi? I know there was a problem with the Sirius app and how it performed with the Evo but none with the Dinc. The Sirius app works as planned on Virtuous also.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jskolm:
I don't know about the Sirius App, but I have a feeling this is the same reason that programs like Wifi File Transfer won't work also....
[Droid Incredible Android Development] gmichaelow:
Hmm. I'll check it out. What command do I run in Connectbot to test?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jayinla:
Not sure about any commands, but this is the fix that Sprint is having Evo users do to fix the app.

Enter the phone dialer and dial # # # 3282

Edit mode

Enter MSL (get Sprint tech support) I forgot the number

Is there a separate thread for RC3?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] lazysleepyboi:
no im pretty sure there isn't. Why do you ask? RC3 isn't out yet, it's supposed to be during this weekend, so just sit tight for it.

Thanks! :D
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Futur Innovations:
Is the release scheduled for today? Or will it be tomorrow?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] nagasgura:
If only

If only htc had devs like this, we'd all have "Zebra Cake" on our phones by now.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] lazysleepyboi:
If only, but don't forget that HTC only does the overlay of android with sense. Google is the ones in charge of actual upgrades like gingerbread and honeycomb
[Droid Incredible Android Development] gmichaelow:
Pulling the links for RC-2.0.1, as I've just flashed the vTester build of RC3. If it looks okay, I'll be uploading and sending links out to testers sometime tonight / late tonight.

-g

EDIT: mmk, so it just booted, just have to go through set-up to confirm I didn't break anything.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] nagasgura:
Could you make an "older versions" section in the OP with 2.0.1 in it, because I found that 2.5.0 had some bugs that 2.0.1 didn't have. It would be nice to have a second flashback option.

Thanks again for your persistence and amazing rom-making skills :)

[Droid Incredible Android Development] kmanuel74:
I know there is no such thing as a stupid question, but this probably is. Where is the download link? I looked all over the first page, but can't find it.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Sean1208:
Will we be able to go directly from 2.0.1that 3.0, or will we have to flash 2.5.0 first, then make the jump?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] BarackMitzvah:
I can't wait!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] gmichaelow:
2.5.0 really wasn't ready for a proper release. But yeah, old links will be maintained. However, I lost RC1 and RC2 files, as I forgot to back them up after I uploaded. RC3 is looking good though, but from now on, old links for sure.

Haha, not yesterday night, still some work to do on the WP, but tonight.

Thanks =]

I think I'm going to start adopting that, no more ETAs, too rushy xD

I pulled it because RC3 is being released tonight. No point in spending all your time flashing RC2, only to do RC3.

Straight jump.

Me neither =]

Also, it looks like RC3 is going to be a wipe release. I've tried a no-wipe, and things have been reaallllyyy sluggish. Then I wiped and everything was nice and fast =] So I'm going to just say wipe is necessary, sorry!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] ltbakken:
Sorry if this has been asked but what kernel will RC 3.0 come with. I saw Lou just released number #9. I was using 8 with amazing results.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] PGleo86:
Sucks that we have to wipe but can't wait anyway

[Droid Incredible Android Development] khanam:
G, I wiped only dalvik and cache, did not do full data wipe when I flashed rc3 test over rc2.5 test and I did not experience any sluggishness at all. Are you sure a full wipe is needed?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] gmichaelow:
Hmm, probably not then. I WAS messing with libs, so that would explain why I had to wipe. Ah, I'd suggest no-wipe first, and then if issues, wipe.

Thanks khanam!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Futur Innovations:
Where are the links to RC3 at? They are not on the op.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] khanam:
Sure! It might be a good idea to strongly recommend people to wipe dalvik and cache though since it does seem to be a good practice to clear out the vm and caches. Always works for me.

Sent from my desire z inc port.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] PGleo86:
Do I despise wiping? Yes, I do. GREAT NEWS
[Droid Incredible Android Development] khanam:
Yup. I hate wiping too. By wiping only the caches, all my apps, home screen widgets, settings remain in place. And to be on the safe side I ruin the fix permissions command in rom manager and voila, I never face any issues.

Unable To Change Notification Sound

Hi everyone, long time lurker, first time poster. I have flashed several ROM's lately but this is the first one I've liked enough to bother posting about. So far everything I've tried with this ROM has worked flawlessly. Thanks for your excellent work! I have encountered one very minor problem, I am not able to change the notification sound. I have several custom sounds that I like to use, but no matter which one I select, the default sound plays. I have no problems with custom ringtones, they all work fine. Has anyone else experienced this, or is this just an isolated incident?
