HTC Sense Theme for AmeriCanAndroid

This is a guide for the basic htc sense look that we've all fallen in love with. Copenhagen will clarify more on this later.

1. Download the attached files on this post.

2.Download and install the NT-sense-signed.apk to phone. (Install the file like a normal apk from a file manager.)

3. Open the "theme chooser" app, find the one that says NTSense (blank preview) and hit apply. (It will show a popup saying resources are missing for your screen size. Hit apply anyway. You should notice a change in your theme right away, the HTC sense theme.)

2. Download LauncherPro from the Market.

3. Set it as your default.

4. Open up the themes.rar folder, Copy the HTC Sense 2.1 folder into the root of SD. (Or a folder of your preference) You can experiment with the Expresso later.

5. On LauncherPro , Press :

Menu Button > Preferences > Appearance Settings > Dock Background > Custom > Choose the dock . Find the HTC Sense 2.1 folder and look for the navbar.jpg inside. (This is your dock, NOTE: it may take another try to set it) The HTC Sense dock should now be set on the homescreen.

6. The Left-most icon (should appear as Phone icon) will be your app drawer. Hold the icon down, until a window pops up.

Change shortcut > App Drawer > Custom Icon > In the HTC Sense folder there will be a clean icon image, select this.

7. The three middle icons should be for your dialer. Hold each of them until the window pops up.

Change shortcut >Activities > Contacts >Phone (com.android.contacts.DialtactsActivity) >Custom Icon >Clean image icon

8. The Right-most icon is of your own preference. If you prefer the browser and just want to change the icon:

Change shortcut > Change icon > Custom icon

9. To change your wallpaper, look for the HTC sense wallpaper attached in the HTC Sense 2.1 folder.

As for the HTC sense-like clock, look for Beautiful Widgets or just find one yourself.

Sorry Cope, for some reason I can't attach files in PM.

EDIT: This was posted on pg. 217, but I figured it needed another post for those who may have missed it.

Wow - I took three days off to drive on a trip with my kid and there are FIFTY pages of comments to catch up on!

I'm hoping the latest updates fixed the problems. I had to fall back on winmo 6.5 during trip because of GPS and other issues. :(.

Hope everyone is having a great weekend.

edit 2 : What is AMA stand for ??
[HD2 Android SD Development] AmeriCanAndroid:
(this only applies to ^^ THIS GUY ^^^)

AMA AmeriCanAndroid

could be ACA.. should be ACA..

doesnt matter

lol

what youll want to do is create a blank .txt document.. rename it to just 05mountsd and copy it to

/sdcard/android/root/system/etc/init.d/HERE

so you have

/sdcard/android/root/system/etc/init.d/05mountsd

do this BEFORE YOU boot the first time.

this will then ONLY use the data.img

make sure you do exactly this or you might mess it up. ;)

and ALWAYS leave the 05mountsd file there.. always always.. if it disapears, youll want to replace it asap. :)

also the sdmagldr file rename u have to do this as well. :) dont forget.

Just so you know,

Tether has not worked since the move to 3.0+

That is the only reason I'm still keeping two copies of this rom. There are a couple of possibilities, Driodwall seems to be a hit for some, reloading the binaries seems to help some. Docent, Cope, and Warren seem to be aware of the issues, so I'm not one to poke the chefs. Check the first post, check the FAQ, check code.google.com for wifi tether. If those don't help you, I think the last working build was 3-5. Try loading that if Wifi tethering is a must for you.

Hope this helps

Screen Resolution

Thanks to Uzi2 for the suggestion to use LCD Density from Market. After never being able to change the resolution by editing the file, this worked in say, 20 seconds with great results. If the resolution on your screen results in icons/writing that are too small, get this application from Market to quickly select what you would like to see on your phone.

Hi Everyone. I have been out of the Android on SD for HD2 scene for 3 months now. I was wondering if I have a stock TMOUS HTC HD2, do I still need HSPL before running the Android file?

Hope I could get a quick install guide if possible.

Thanks in advance. =)
[HD2 Android SD Development] tuccc:
U dont have to have a custom WinMo Rom or HSPL to run Android on SD card. However, you do have to have correct radio, recommend 2.15.50.14

Have fun on Android

[HD2 Android SD Development] profahmad:
No need to apologise, you've made such an amazing build that I ought to be thanking you immensely (thanks!), the issue is probably the result of my own doing.

That solution you propose will probably work, I ended up using a Titanium Backup to restore each of my apps. What actually happened was that when I updated before this 17/03 build (the 12/03 build), my apps didn't restore from my ext3 partition. It just didn't happen. So at that time I formatted my ext3 partition and used a Titanium backup of my apps, hoping that the next restore would work properly. As I stated in my previous post the apps did restore to the 17/03 build but presented FCs.

I'll update to the latest build in the coming days and will report any issues if they occur, I'll be sure to try the fix_permissions file if I experience a repeat of these symptoms. (In the mean time I'm replacing my LCD.)

Do you think using a Titanium Backup restore to replace my apps is having some negative effect on the ext3 backups?
[HD2 Android SD Development] profahmad:
Alternatively if you like the screen having a 'higher resolution' look with an LCD density of 180 but find the text too small, simply change the Font size value in Spare Parts to Large or Extremely Large.

I prefer to fit more on the screen so actually do the opposite and make it smaller. :)
[HD2 Android SD Development] geenyous:
random reboot issue solved!

+1 = 34 AMA

Thanks guys, I love this build!

BTW, on 2 GB SD since 5 days, no random reboot or anything and it feels faster than before... (although SD is unpartitioned?)

Might wanna put that in the FAQ, random reboots = most probably faulty SD card (independent from the brand, I had a Sandisk 16GB class 2 that caused random reboots all the time, tried Fix permissions and that was a real mess. So, SD card to blame...)

Cope I was away from the office for a workshop this week. Hence I could not charge the battery during the day. That is when I realised how terrible battery life I am having. I am running this off the SD without partitions. I had to make use of the extra battery to make it through the day.

During one of the boring lectures I decided to try a different kernel. I have heard good reviews of Rafpigna 1.8 oc. I am glad I tried it because the first thing I noticed is that web pages and web photos load immediately. In a flash. And data connection is very stable. Best of all my battery drainage on standby came to below 10mA where before it was going to up to 100!

I am on 14 March build. I am not demeaning Warren default kernel in any way but I thought it fair to give my experience with a different kernel.... :-)

Thanks for the resolution/font change suggestion - that's a great idea. I too value more real estate, but my 50 year old eyes just cannot deal with the smaller info (without reading glasses, and when on the go, that SUCKS).

[HD2 Android SD Development] profahmad:
At the risk of having my arse (for the Americans among us: ass) handed to me for posting in the wrong section or post, I feel this is relevant as I need to make sure it isn't a ROM or HD2 issue, which I very much doubt.

I replaced my HD2's screen with one I bought off eBay a couple of days ago. It works but I noticed that colour gradients are not displayed well--actually 'not well' is a serious understatement: they look ridiculous. There's very obvious colour banding and it seems to be an issue with the new screen but I'm finding it hard to rule out if I'm just being paranoid. I don't have access to another HD2 to compare.

The issue is most obvious when opening Winamp or the XDA app. Both opening loading screens use strong colour gradients which my screen can't seem to display. It's even obvious on the background of the Power widget. I compared this to a Desire and a Desire HD which both display the images perfectly. The reason I'm posting is to show these images and hopefully have someone confirm that their HD2 with a properly working screen (that is running this Android build) isn't displaying such colour banding on the starting screen of these two apps.

And before I'm slated for buying cheap junk off eBay I've contacted the buyer and he guaranteed before the sale that the screen will function perfectly, or my money back. He's willing to honour the refund.

Let me know your thoughts, besides "this is off topic, you git".
[HD2 Android SD Development] profahmad:
Stange, I didn't think of trying this until now but I just took a screenshot of the Winamp opening screen to view it on my PC and it's displaying the same poor image. This'd imply it's not a hardware (my phone's screen) issue..
[HD2 Android SD Development] deweylima:
+1 = AMA 42
[HD2 Android SD Development] shamez23:
Hard to be sure. The quality of the pictures isn't good enough for that. I just checked winamp on my HD2 and it looks pretty much the same.

Don't the phones you used for comparison have different/better screens than the HD2?

If you want to do this right you better find a HD2 you can hold next to yours and compare them directly.
[HD2 Android SD Development] profahmad:
Yeah, true, the quality of those images is quite poor. I used a Desire to take them.

Hmm, yours displays the same 'rings' of colour in Winamp? I had a feeling it might be a limitation of the HD2's 65k colour screen but it just looked so wrong, and I hadn't noticed it before the screen change.
[HD2 Android SD Development] peramikic:
+1 = AMA 43
[HD2 Android SD Development] shamez23:
I do have rings, hard to tell if they are the same. You would really need to have two HD2s next to each other to be sure.

As I said, I think the displays of the Desires you tested are better than the display of the HD2. The old Desire had a AMOLED Display which was changed to a Super LC Display in later models. Don't know about the Desire HD but I would imagine it also has a Super LCD.

We tend to be overly critical when we make changes to a device.

It's like having a dead pixel somewhere on your 24" Computer Display. You never noticed it until someone else pointed it out and now you can't stop your gaze from wandering to that spot all the time, driving you crazy.

Just find another HD2 and do a real comparison. Then you'll know everything is OK or that something isn't right with your new display. Either way you'll be able to sleep well again at night.
[HD2 Android SD Development] profahmad:
I think it is a limitation of the HD2 screen, the Desire and Desire HD both have 24bit colour depth. Getting hold of another HD2 will be quite difficult. I'll see what I can do.

I'm confused about why the screenshot viewed on a PC monitor is showing the same chracteristics as the HD2 screen, if the screen is the issue.

Would it be better to start a vote, or not an option,

Please remove Titanium Backup from next release

Hi,

I installed 3/14/2011 release.

Battery performance was not good on my HD2.

I dont blame the release, issues could be because of apps in background,

I found Titanium-Backup running in the background.

I never used this program.

I am unable to install this program.

Can you please remove this application from the next release.

Thanks in advance
