HTC scribble pen?

Hi,

it is nice to see something different on this Thread - I started getting disappointed with the lack of much activity regarding the Flyer.

Question: Does the HTC pen still work anywhere?

regards

Is there any possibility to use the AOSP Contact App? Or do you know someone who has all AOSP Apps?

The pen function still works completely, and I'm looking in to adding more aosp apps. My computer is stuck updating so I can't do anything right now lol

I'd also like to know this, I'm buying one of these tomorrow, and should think this the first ROM (most likely the daily driver) for it, but my main reason for buying this is the great functionality of the pen.

But I must tell you, I HATE sense, not the funcitionality, just the terrible, terrible icons.

Great to see such good work being done on tablets.

Hmm that's weird. Maybe try flashing the boot.img through fastboot ? The instructions are in the OP.
How long are you letting it sit after the flash?

i left it for over an hour

i think i may have lost the original backup i can seem to even flash back into original rom.

where can i get the instructions? op?

I have asked this a couple times because I think I know your problem, but you have yet to answer the question. What are you flashing from? Did you use globatron's method to hc with boot s off, or Paul's method with HTC dev unlock, or are you flashing directly from gingerbread?

And there is your answer. You need to use globatron's method to get hc with s off then flash this. You are trying to boot a hc system with gb boot. Thatsa no good

No just globatron's method. This will give you honeycomb with s off. You can freely flash honeycomb roms after that

I tried to install the aosp contacts app and it won't install. Logcat didn't tell me anything useful so i have to look further into it

Stock contacts, calendar, etc. won't work because you are not making a vanilla ROM (no such thing as a functional AOSP rom) you are just removing a few apps. Many of the Google apps have to be compiled into the ROM with the OEM framework. If you remove too many of the HTC items , the ROM won''t boot. Google made it that way so vendor OEM's could put their own brand, spin , sense, blur, whatever in there.

    If you are currently running gingerbread, and want to use this rom then you MUST follow this HC upgrade guide first:http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1358758

    Put the ROM on your sd card and boot to recovery
    Make a backup if you desire then wipe cache, dalvik cache, and do a factory reset then flash the zip!

    Note:

    If you get a WiFi error after flashing, then do the following:

    1. Extract the boot.img from the rom and place it in the same folder that contains your fastboot
    2. Open up command prompt and cd to that same folder you placed the boot.img
    3. Type: fastboot flash boot boot.img
    4. Reboot and it should be fixed!

    Just finished setting up after flash. Nice change up from sense feel. Definitely worth everyone giving it a go


    PS. You changed the rom name at the beginning if the install script but at the end it still says westfire. Not important at all but just a fyi.

    The option to be a ICS theme, what I would love would be a plain cm7 like rom with as AOSP as possbile, but of course I would have to help because you cant go around asking for ROMs to be made :p

    I'd be up for it. Wont have a lot of spare time on my hands this up coming week but shoot me a PM if you want to help work on anything.

    Diving in here but i would think a Desire HD or Sensation CM7 ROM could be ported over easier then just building it for source much like its been done with the ICS build thats in this forum. That being said me personally (to each their own) dont have any desire to run a CM7 like ROM on my flyer I would miss the tablet apps and scribe functions too much.

    Yeah both of my ports are from the DHD lol

    I've recently pull the trigger too quick on saying "I love this ROM" (not about this rom) so I am a bit hesitant to say it again for this ROM (now actually meaning this ROM) ...but... I must say I'm on like day 10 or so and this thing has been bug free for me, the ICS theme satisfies my ICS hunger (though i want Chrome browser badly; its so fast).

    With other ROMs it seemed like near day 4 for me there would be a lot of over all lag and odd Wifi connectivity issues(speaking of 2 other ROMs Ive tried; might be related to my app setup too IDK). So far I havent seen that in this ROM. If some one hacks Chrome to HC then I would (forgive me) be content without ICS. Now granted just like Chrome, now, there will be more apps and what-not that will probably be ICS only so I'm sure i will eventually go back on that statement.

    So long story short I like the ROM a lot! Thanks Gumby


    EDIT: So it hasnt been quite 10 days but I feel that I have put it to greater use over the past days then I have since I got this thing and that is due in part to how fluid the overall UX is (read: lagfree)
    SIDE NOTE: (I apparently love these (brackets) sorry)

    Thanks man always love hearing good feedback :) It makes it all worth it

    Sorry guys I haven't been putting to much work into this lately. I've been trying to build ics for our tablet and it's rather difficult :p
