I know, it's REALLY annoying. I usually use Goo.im, but it's acting funny. Is the mediafire link bad?

Test your ROM, works nicely.

But I prefer 3-dot tweak need to revise:
for native ICS app, 3 dot menu shall be at title bar
menu button shall be apply for non ICS app.

I use blubbers android.policy.jar file and it is OK.

Hey all, sorry that I have not been working on this (although noone seems to be able to download, anyway). I sold my One X to get the AT&T version, but I am also getting another international version due to a long story that ends with me getting lucky. ANYWAY, I have been porting in the CM "Notification Toggles" based on a port I did for the HTC thunderbolt last year (think they are done, but no phone to test on...), as I prefer these to quick settings, and am working with the recently released Virtuous 10 tools to see what I can do with the m10 files to theme Rosie (not sure what's up there). In addition, I am working on my own tweaks app based on Romanbb's app that I had ported into my sense 3.5 ROMs for Verizon HTC devices. I don't want to just use someone else's version, and I like the way mine worked, so I will be doing that.

In any event, I should be back up with a Much improved ROM in terms of features and performance in a week or so...

See you then

Steve

Oh, and I am putting up a new, Dev-Host mirror right now, it's uploadfing, just in case anyone wants to try the ROM (yes, I know it's not as flashy as those from the heavy hitters, but its smooth as hell (esp. on the Asian Firmwares) and very stable.

My heart dropped for a moment there... Temporarily living in Singapore for work, I would prefer to use the Asian firmware since I bought the phone here. It seems to be more reliable too. I also like knowing when I move back to the US it will have been tested working well on AT&T.

I have yet to dabble into full ROM building and making mods with the whole odexed business kinda scares me. I dipped my toes into some theming and basic mods on the Arc-S & GNex but don't recall odexed files on either. So, I'm glad there is still hope for your work here.

P.S. other current & abandoned tweaks/mods for Euro Roms seem to work OK with yours. Be sure to clear the cache & be patient on boots and initial Rosie loads though!

Definitely. I just need to "catch up" with what the other devs are putting out, and I want to do all the work myself in my way. That will take some time, but it will be worth it. I have a style, understated and easy to use, that I want to keep, but there are so many amazing possibilities, I want those I feel are valuable to be available, too.

Singapore rocks, BTW. Lived extensively in Asia, and always loved going there. They speak Mandarin (the only Chinese I can speak) and English and the food is amazing...

BTW, don't be too freaked out by odex files, they are just "optimized" dex files. Most developers de-odex their ROMs, which takes the code from the odex files and assembles them into classes.dex within the apk. The standard HTC kitchen will do most of this in batch form, although it is getting a bit outdated, and some apks have to be deodexed with baksmali, specifying API level and dependencies. In fact, there was one file in the One X I had to build an unreleased version of baksmali for to get deodexed (phone). Anyway, ranting, the point is that the odex files generally are removed, then you can work on the ROM (although some swear the odexed ROMs are faster).

Could you explain more about your "cook" baksmali, I also got phone.apk not to be deodexed. Thanks for share info.

If you go here: http://code.google.com/p/smali/issues/detail?id=114, you will see that JesusFreak, the author, has fixed the error that is thrown when disassembling/assembling the Phone.apx from Sense 4 ROMs. Basically, you need to download the repaired .java file (linked to in the thread) and then assemble it into a class, using a java assembler, like, say Jasmin, which I used. Then you can put the fixed class into baksmali.jar, and it will work.

If you are unfamiliar with any of this, you can google "assemble java into classes" or the like, or if things are really really confusing, PM me, and I will help you out.

building baksmali/smali 1.3.3 and using that will also fix that particular issue

Yep. I just went the shorter route...I am going to build 1.3.3 before I get started on porting over the "settings" style Romanbb tweaks app to the One X, as I don't know what I'll run into...

Have you had any success with Sense 4.0 and apktool? I find it very hit or miss....

Hmmm. I haven't tried this out. Looks like he did some additional reworking for this, no? Anyway, worth a shot, I suppose...

I use DSIXDA kitchen for my OLD HD2 and with your and nitsuj17 hint, I update the kitchen with baksmali/smali 1.3.3 and it works. I have clean deodex base for further modding. Thanks.

No rush. Once my fiance heads back to the states next week I will have plenty of time to experiment.

Singapore is pretty neat. I only speak English, but am starting to understand Singlish better each day. The food is great! That is definitely true.

Totally looking forward to your "settings" port. I haven't gotten around to taking matters into my own hands yet. Think I'll leave it up to the professionals for now.

    Magnolia X 1.0 Initial Release (4/26/2012)

    I have paused development of this ROm while I work on my own tweaks app, a skin and CM style notification toggle. I will be back up in a week or so. Please feel fre to try the ROM, below, but just be aware it is pretty bare-bones right now. It is still very smooth, snappy and stable, however.

    This is the initial release of my One X ROM. My focus is on stable, smooth and simple ROMs - the kind I use myself on a daily basis. If you like flashy, super tweaked ROMs, this may not be for you. This is just an initial base ROM that I will be building from, as I get more into the device and possibilities for modding. There is MUCH more to come, including CM-Style Notification Toggles (j4n87 beat me to quick settings...:)) and my full matte Rosie theme, which HTC seems to have partially taken for sense 4.0...;) (http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=16944397&postcount=1)

    If you like the ROM, please hit the thanks button...:)!

    • Tegra3 power mngmt fixed and full GPU rendering, courtesy of the great mike1986;
    • All bloatware and extraneous images, etc. removed;
    • My own blend of init.d scripts (combined into one script) for stable and smooth performance;
    • Semi-transparent notifications bar (app drawer to come once m10 tools done);
    • Recent apps key remapped to settings, long press home key for recent apps (this does NOT have the volume key media mod, as I can't stand it);
    • Simple extended power menu mod, just has the additional reboot functions (NOT part of a tweaks program);
    • All widgets & app shortcuts, except the weather clock, removed from home screens on first boot so you don't have to waste time removing them...
    • PNGs in main graphics apks (com.htc.resources, framework-res, Rosie, etc.) optimized;
    • More I can't remember...

    Known Issues
    • After first boot graphics on notifications bar gimped, this goes away after another reboot;
    • All gapps may not be perfectly up-to-date...;);

    Installation Instructions


    • MAKE A NANDROID BACKUP!!!
    • It is best, but not absolutely necessary, to have the latest 1.28.707.10 firmware on your device. If you already have the latest firmware, ignore the following. If you don't, do this:
      - re-lock your bootloader (reboot to fastboot and type "fastboot oem lock" in terminal/command prompt),
      - flash the 1.26.707.2 RUU (here),
      - install the OTA update when you are prompted to,
      - unlock bootloader at htcdev.com,
      - flash CWM recovery (see this forum for the thread), and you are set to go...
    • Flash the boot.img linked to below by placing the "boot.img" in the same folder as your fastboot file, booting into fastboot and then typing "fastboot flash boot boot.img" (in OS X, you can place the boot.img in your home folder);
    • No need to wipe anything as flashing this ROM will wipe everything for you, including data --- I REPEAT, FLASHING THIS ROM WILL WIPE EVERYTHING, INCLUDING YOUR DATA!!! This will NOT happen in future versions (although I always suggest a full wipe before flashing);
    • Flash the ROM in CWM recovery;
    • Let things settle down, sync, etc.;
    • Enjoy, and post feedback, suggestions in the thread....

    Spanish, I could not find it in the Asian firmware.

    It's in there. I just put espanol espana, and todo es en espanol. The keyboard also says its ES, but still need long press for some common symbols, like the "n"s in the previous sentence.

    Hope this helps.
