bug found

i found a bug myself lol

on fresh install first time on market you get FC when contacts sync

THIS is fixed for now by including HtcContacts.apk, hopefully this will be removed later.
[Wildfire Android Development] daddyspud:
well im just having a play around and switch htc setting with cm6 setting as cm6 has better and more advance options

[Wildfire Android Development] Mariusrapi:
any screenshot?
[Wildfire Android Development] kevin2516:
Wow another remake lol.
[Wildfire Android Development] raskall:
But this seems like a good one. Looks like just what I need. I love CM6.1 but miss a few of the good things from Sense.

I am just "sitting on the fence" watching the feedbak Hugeball gets. If they are good I will definetely try it. Right now I am "stuck" with Wildpuzzle because I can't live without some of the Sense bits.
[Wildfire Android Development] raskall:
HewGballs: Have you left FM-radio in there? That is one of the deal-breaker for non-sense roms for me.
[Wildfire Android Development] DJ.Eagle:
Does the GingerBread v.8 theme work with this ROM?
[Wildfire Android Development] HewGBalls:
yes, FM Radio is there.

I will have to try it later but at present i really want to get the lockscreen to improve so i am working on that.

Editing Setting.apk.

Since rosie is not present Setting>personalisation gives a FC.so tryin to edit the settings.apk to remove these menu items..also trying to include the ADW settings in the same..
[Wildfire Android Development] adellon92:
How do i remove these apps? Iam a beginner at all this, any help will be appreciated, since iam trying to increase my battery life as well!
[Wildfire Android Development] HewGBalls:
thanks for your input, few of them like torch, teeter, weather, facebook, friendstream are really apps that i or someone else would use which is why they have been left in.

The others such as fieldtest, checkinprovider, updater etc i will have to test them myself because they need to be tested on fresh install, if removing causes any issue on fresh install rather then running system.

@Alex_Gp

I am still working on phone.apk and trying to understand how it all works. I found that yes_no.xml is the green accept and red decline screen when you get a call and the phone is unlocked. framework-res.apk does not have anything to do with the incoming call screen. I think it was services.jar or android.policy.jar where i found the code for slide to accept/reject when phone is locked but i forgot when i started doing something else.
[Wildfire Android Development] vijaykirann:
Hi,

I found that the weather apk are for the sense weather widget...and which no longer works with ADW,therefore I removed it coz it was using up battery..

Since many of these are Sense Apps some of them might have dependencies while installations..

Else we can create the flashable zip file after the installation to remove these apps..I think this is a safe idea..

[Wildfire Android Development] Alex_GP:
Interesting stuff, thanks for sharing. Really, I`m starting to hate HTC for this Sense interface. I mean, it`s nice and all, but it`s just too intrusive, somewhere deep inside the original android.

My next phone will not be an HTC, unless there is a FULLY working AOSP Rom.
[Wildfire Android Development] vijaykirann:
Weather apk"s

Hi,

HTC"s are the one of the good android hardwares available on the market...so rooting the phone is the best option ...

I leant towards sense as ASOP dont have Radio and I dont like the fone hardware to be left useless :p

How do i remove these apps? Iam a beginner at all this, any help will be appreciated, since iam trying to increase my battery life as well!

I used the ADB with linux on my laptop.. trust me using adb is way tooo easy on linux than on windows..

The other way is using root explorer ,Deleting the apk from root explorer and rebooting , but that dint work for me for some reasom on the system apks

Also, we can freeze the apk using the Titanium Backup pro..but later when I saw the frozed apk in batttery usage list .. I was not sure if it was working..

-----------------------------

[Wildfire Android Development] HewGBalls:
aosp is great but camera is still lacking, slight movement causes blurry pictures. On CM6 the focus was giving FC on camera which is now changed on CM7 which is why i think there is focus issues otherwise its top stuff and i would not bother with sense rom atall.

I have put together V5 anyway with the apks removed as you tested. There are still few that could be removed but i will test and remove them next time. for now this should give a better battery life.

I'll work on the settings.apk and phone.apk now.
[Wildfire Android Development] vijaykirann:
Hi HewG,

Is it possible to include the icons on the notification drawer as on Cyanogen ..for faster access of GPS Bluetooth etc..
[Wildfire Android Development] arasan82:
Having the dalvik cache in Phone vs SD..Is there a performance difference?

Also does it affect battery life by any chance?

Thanks!
[Wildfire Android Development] HewGBalls:
it is possible, you would have to find the xml file in the layout folder that controls the status bar, add ids to public.xml and ids.xml, this would show the controls and then you would have to add the right code in smali file to control the buttons. I will add to my to do list and see if its easy enough to achieve this.

I have some progress on the incall screen. If you look in com.htc.resources.apk layout folder > htc_lock_screen_control.xml and htc_lock_screen_control_arc_incoming_call.xml is the layout for slide down/up.

Now if i can figure out how to modify it to froyo sliders.
[Wildfire Android Development] arasan82:
Apparently i heard that only class 6 SD cards gives faster access and other one's are slower. So it will result in slower fetch inturn draining battery as well.

Any pointers or experiments done before on this?
[Wildfire Android Development] adellon92:
When will the patches be available? for the V5? or are there alternate solutions?
[Wildfire Android Development] -Howard-:
Had a quick go with this very fast i like it :D worked okay for me nice work :y: but i have to go back to sense i prefer it ;)
[Wildfire Android Development] HewGBalls:
Just uploaded the patches, 1st and 2nd post. Cannot attach more than 8 so VpnServices and Weather patch on the first post.
[Wildfire Android Development] TheEKey:
Hello HewG,

Your ROM V5 is really fast and clean. I really love it and that's what I've been looking for so long :)

But I found that there's no input for Chinese language. How can I enable it?

I've got my hands dirty on the file system/customize/CID/default.xml

with addition of one line of code

<item type="boolean" name="Chinese">yes</item>

But there's still no show. So what else should I do to make it happen?

BTW, I found that all the Chinese input capabilities were already stated in the file like

"Handwriting;ZuhYin;CangJie;PinYin;Stroke;"

Please help..... especially Handwriting is extremely helpful.
[Wildfire Android Development] Alex_GP:
Can someone please upload a screenshot of this ROM? I know, I`m a screenshot whore. I just want to see how the icons on the notification bar look.
[Wildfire Android Development] HewGBalls:
I installed HTC_IME.apk which is the htc keyboard, you can then click on the "en" icon and select Chinese as input. This however does not give handwriting option.

For handwriting you have to go to language and keyboard > touch input > international settings where you select the chinese handwriting option, this is missing though and i am trying to figure out why. This rom is based on wildpuzzle so it should be there.
[Wildfire Android Development] vijaykirann:
Hy m8, if you are still on it can you please post your linpack score of v5..

----------------------

@vijaykirann
[Wildfire Android Development] Alex_GP:
Thank you very much for the screenshots, much appreciated.
[Wildfire Android Development] TheEKey:
installed = adb push to system OR normal app install?

Before I try it out, let me ask this: what is the the gingerkeyboard package file? So if I push the HTC_IME.apk to system/app, it'll replace the gingerkeyboard automatically? or it's totally irrelavant?

BTW, I got over 3 MFLOP from Linpack with HCDR 4.1 kernel @ 729Mhz all the time. My phone now is running smooth like silk~!
[Wildfire Android Development] HewGBalls:
Adb push HTC ime.apk to system/app

Adb shell

Rm /system/app/GingerKeyboard_r12.apk
[Wildfire Android Development] MasterDL:
I asked this question a little back and am delighted that someone is on the same boat as me. I extracted the htcime.apk and pushed it into system/app and kept ginger keyboard alongside and result with Chinese keyboard input but no handwriting either. Would love to see this solution to attract a wider audience to this good Rom concept since wildpuzzle is ceasing development.
[Wildfire Android Development] TheEKey:
Yea, same thing happened.

1) I pushed HTC_IME and it showed up on Input Language menu. However, Gingerkeyboard picked up the system broadcast in every app requiring a keyboard ALL the time. I didn't know how to set up the default keyboard to use. So I got rid of the gingerkeyboard from my system/app for now.

2) HTC keyboard showed up in Message, for instance. I pressed "en" and it gave the Chinese input options. There're 4 in totally WITHOUT handwriting. Touch Input settings -> International keyboard -> only English was left. All other languages input options were no where to be seen.

I wonder which xml file(s) govern the behaviors of language and input language. I peeped at the files under system/customize/CID and, as far as I could see, all xml files contained multiple languages. So what has dictated the options at the moment? I was not sure.

Is there any HTC_IME official docs you guys know of?

BTW, loonychewy had modified /system/customize/CID/default.xml by adding a handwriting line tag and it worked on the SUnAaBh ROM.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=11241360&posted=1#post11241360

This fact confuses me of what to do next because I saw handwriting has indeed enabled in default.xml in this Hybrid ROM.....
[Wildfire Android Development] HewGBalls:
The latest version V5 is based off wildfire 0.8

system > customize > default.xml & system > customize > CID > default.xml

these both files have

<function name="IME_sip_set">
<set name="single">
<item name="total_list">Handwriting;ZuhYin;CangJie;PinYin;Stroke;</item>
<item name="Handwriting" type="boolean">yes</item>
<item name="ZuhYin" type="boolean">yes</item>
<item name="CangJie" type="boolean">yes</item>
<item name="PinYin" type="boolean">yes</item>
<item name="Stroke" type="boolean">yes</item>
<item name="default">ZuhYin</item>
</set>
</function>

I have tried various things already:

pushing HTC_IME.apk to system apps leaving gingerkeyboard in aswell.

pushing ........................... removing gingerkeyboard

including HTC_IME in the rom and wipe + flash

but handwriting does not work.

What i am going to do is take wildfire v0.8 and strip the apps and add the changes i have done again and then see if that helps.
[Wildfire Android Development] TheEKey:
Yea I felt very weird on this too.

Been spent 1/2 day poking around but still no luck.

2 things I will try out when I have more time.

1) Replace gingerkeyboard with HTC_IME in the ROM zip directly and flash the ROM again. Looks like the system has done configuration based on gingerkeyboard, which doesn't support Chinese Input, on it's first launch. I suspect that some of the config files are done deal once they're set.

2) Pull the HTC_IME from some other official ROM for Asian market. I suspect that there maybe tweaks that Hnadwriting was supposed to be hidden for Western market ROM.

I'll report back if I should have any success :)
[Wildfire Android Development] niksakl:
Hi there!

Thank you for this ROM! I installed it last night and loving it so far...only 2 issues:

1) The FM Radio doesn't display the appropriate frequency range for Greece (and this is a problem as my first bookmark would be on 87,6FM,which is out of range!)

2)when the hands-free is connected, there is no ringing tone on the speaker, only in headset, which doesn't work for me..how do i fix it?

THank you all guys!
[Wildfire Android Development] HewGBalls:
incoming call slider

if anyone interested helping out...

after much fiddling i found that, decompiling phone.apk > out/smali/com/android/phone/InCallScreen.smali

I am going to compare it to the AOSP version and see the differences and try to modify it.
[Wildfire Android Development] Birthe88:
If we could get JIT ebabled this rom would be perfect
[Wildfire Android Development] harshdev:
So far Best Rom!!

I would say by far this ROM is the most stable and best ROM out of the lot for wildfire that I have tested. I like it more than cyanogen mod. Thumbs up and five star.. Thanks for your efforts.
[Wildfire Android Development] adellon92:
Yep i came back to this rom after trying cynogen rom rc1 for a day, only thing iam waiting is for jit, it would make this rom perfect!
[Wildfire Android Development] daddyspud:
Jit dose not make a lot of difference this Rom very stable and fast Jit just make thigh more laggyer n unstable sometimes
[Wildfire Android Development] adellon92:
If HTC gives the wildfire a 2.3 update, can we expect hybrid to go gingerbread?
[Wildfire Android Development] HewGBalls:
well the reason i embarked on mission to create hybrid rom was because on CM6 or aosp froyo the camera was not working fully, so i thought a sense rom with camera + stock apps would be perfect.

CM7 then came out and now its reaching stable releases plus everything working including camera it would be pointless to have a hybrid rom. You either use htc gingerbread when its out or if you don't like sense then use CM7.

I will try my best to complete this rom with the left to do and will work on hybrid rom for gingerbread if necessary.
[Wildfire Android Development] wildfire.daniel:
hello.. is there a way i can change the transparency in the lockscreen? i want the ordinary, when you can also change the lockscreen wallpaper.. like in cm6. is it possible? ïf yes, pls help.. i know how to use adb i just need the codes... thanks in advance..:)
[Wildfire Android Development] HewGBalls:
The lockscreen in this rom is already the ordinary froyo one and its transparent. Wallpaper on it should be the same as the homescreen wallpaper and i need to work on it.
[Wildfire Android Development] wildfire.daniel:
.. i want the not transparent lock screen.. as in i cannot see whats behind the lockscreen.. like in cyanogen 6.1 where it is not transparent... is it possible? :)
[Wildfire Android Development] HewGBalls:
Let me rephrase what you just said:

"I dont want the transparent lockscreen as in the one where you can see whats behind the lockscreen, i would like the lockscreen similar to cyanogen 6.1 where it is not transparent but there is a background, is it possible?"

now the answer:

yes, its possible and it was one of the things to do on my list but i have just abandoned this project now and sold my wildfire so unless someone else takes on this project or help you then its very possible.
[Wildfire Android Development] DoiX:
May i ask the reason's you got rid of your wildfire and why you decided to stop using HTC? I'm curious
[Wildfire Android Development] kevin2516:
Ew sony, I only liked their non-smart phones since I previously had one :p
[Wildfire Android Development] HewGBalls:
I personally hate the sense interface and while on this project i saw how difficult it was to remove the HTC apps. The most annoying thing for me was swipe up/down on incoming and found it impossible to replace.

Kudos to the cyanogen team and jacob for bringing the CM6/CM7 but unfortunately the roms are not stable enough and i cant live with the sense so i am going to give X10 a shot and maybe settle with Nexus S or something.
[Wildfire Android Development] Alex_GP:
Exactly my gripe... I`ll never buy a phone with sense again.

What I would like to say is this: THANK YOU HewGBalls for all the work you put into this. People like me, and many other will be/are grateful.
[Wildfire Android Development] TheEKey:
Same here, Thank you very much for the rom.

I will keep this rom for sure until the CynogenMod7 through the beta..... :)

It's fast and smooth enough even without JIT. Great for daily use.
[Wildfire Android Development] Chippie_83_:
Thanks for this ROM! I've tried a few others but this one is definitely the best one around! Keep up the good work :-)
[Wildfire Android Development] Astral07:
best rom so far and i've tried quite a lot of them

this is just the perfect mix of functionality and speed, sorry to see you're giving it up, but hey i get it :) understandable

by the way i only BEG of you one thing, is there a way to use HTC_IME mod keyboard? or any other similar good keyboard? this gingerbread one is killing me :(
[Wildfire Android Development] Langoniery:
Im using smart keyboard with T9. But in qwerty mode it seems way better than other keyboards i used.
[Wildfire Android Development] kaefert:
I tried your "remove_HtcLockscreen.zip"

It gives you the nice original transparent lockscreen with nice thin bars. (as compared to the solution http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=12858695)

But the problem with it, is that it breaks the HTC Clock app. The Widget still works, but normally you can click on the clock and get the HTC app to set alarms, to set timers to show the world clock and all that stuff. With your zip flashed, this app doesn't open anymore when clicking on the htc clock widget... :(
[Wildfire Android Development] technolust109:
does this contain the htc sense keyboard?
[Wildfire Android Development] maxiii:
Looks like a nice rom, downloading the rom. Thanks bro for your hard work :)
[Wildfire Android Development] HewGBalls:
This might sound silly but i am not using any kitchen, i am on ubuntu with android sdk setup and manually signing the zip files through terminal, hopefully i will learn this way.
[Wildfire Android Development] daddyspud:

if u would like some help im willing to help but im just a new to this as u are

ps i used ur rom and enabled 4-1 boot and the new 4.1 kernal and oc to 691/345 and very stable

also i changed the htc setting to the cm6 settings all worked fine accept i was unable to get into network/wifi settings fc all the time i think its because it in the script of the cm6 rom as all i was doin copying and pasting
[Wildfire Android Development] Alex_GP:
Screenshots would really be appreciated, especially with the dialer, lockscreen and call screen.
[Wildfire Android Development] H1tmanx:
This is a great idea of mix and matching.

Btw, if someone is wondering how to install the 4 in 1 reboot menu.

Check out Dk Custom Rom.. He has a the 4 in 1 reboot patch which works great for me on this rom.
[Wildfire Android Development] pl0ppy:
Can you keep phone and people app from HTC in future versions since they tend to be better than AOSP.
[Wildfire Android Development] HewGBalls:
thanks

thanks latest version 2 includes 4in1 menu and gingerbread keyboard
[Wildfire Android Development] HewGBalls:
People app is still there because i am unable to remove it at present without force closes but dialer is replaced.

I think what i will do is once i have been able to remove all the HTC apps i will make patches to install specific htc apps so everyone can install back whichever HTC apps they like.

Camera + FM Radio will stay regardless.
[Wildfire Android Development] H1tmanx:
Hi, any luck on fixing the lock screen?
[Wildfire Android Development] pl0ppy:
Good idea. And yes I've noticed that, I've been using the HTC People app since I've flashed this. But I like the HTC Smart Dialer better, I like it better than stock dialer or dialer one. and yes I saw in-call out call screen. Like it that way.
[Wildfire Android Development] daddyspud:
Hewgballs have a small question is ur using and shell and sdk how did u get a current Rom setup to run on sdk as in only curently able to new run new roms .any advice help thanks

[Wildfire Android Development] arasan82:
Does facebook sync works fine with this ROM?
[Wildfire Android Development] HewGBalls:
yes it should do, facebook app is not in the rom though.
[Wildfire Android Development] arasan82:
I installed FB from market. APP as such works fine..But i could not get the contacts synced.

1) tried adding the FB account from Accounts & sync menu..it always comes back to main menu.

2) Also i see search in not working in contacts..

Thanks
[Wildfire Android Development] johi69:
Facebook sync does not work. Maybe HTC friendstream is requiered. Lockscreen fix did not work for me.

Anyway this is a great rom. Thanks for IT.
[Wildfire Android Development] HewGBalls:
Hi attached is flashable zip for friendstream and socialnetworkprovider.apk, hopefully one of them will solve the facebook sync issue, can you have a go and let me know which one worked so i can include that in the next version of rom.

I just tried reverting back to version 2 without lockscreen fix and then flashing the lockscreen fix and it did work for me.

Please note, This fix only resizes the sliders for now, the lockscreen is not completely fixed yet.
[Wildfire Android Development] johi69:
Ok, will try it immediately
[Wildfire Android Development] johi69:
friendstream.zip doesn't work - settings screen keeps black.
[Wildfire Android Development] johi69:
Unfortunately none of the patches solved the sync issue. :(

Btw the lockscreen issue doesn't bother me, I think it is more important to fix the facebook sync issue.
[Wildfire Android Development] johi69:
I guess, for friendstream HTC Facebook app is requiered.
[Wildfire Android Development] Alex_GP:
I think the ideea with the patches (everyone removes what they want) is brilliant.
[Wildfire Android Development] HewGBalls:
Hi thanks for testing it.

Please look on first page under patches to install facebook and sync works aswell now i have just tested it myself.

Lockscreen is also on the first page, it has smaller slider and uses default wallpaper now, still working on it.

cheers
