Loving this ROM! First one I installed on phone a couple days ago and no desire for anything else. Perfectly smooth and stable and getting even better battery life then stock! Thank you for all your hard work.

Just to be clear:

No HTC mods at all? Swipe up to unlock, double tap, photo edit, etc?

I can re-flash a Sense ROM after this?



I really like the stock experience but I do enjoy the Sense motion features.

Performance wise how does this compare to the Google play edition conversion? I ask because the gpe has been pretty smooth for me with antutu scores above 36000 and with great battery life. The only downside of the gpe conversion is that it repatriations the internal drive and it's a bit of work to convert it back to a sense rom.

I'm not sure if it's just completely going over my head, but I'm trying to theme my systemui.apk. all the other phones I've had has had it located in system/app. Doesn't seem to be the case here. What am I missing? Where should I look for it?

Do I need S-OFF to flash this ROM? Thank you

Not sure why you quoted me, but as far as I know, I'm pretty sure you needed to be s-off in order to flash this rom. I'm just getting back into the android game, so my knowledge is a bit rusty. Surely someone will come along and correct me if I'm wrong.

Systemui.apk is in /system/priv-app
They moved it there starting with KitKat ^^

Side note: this op is heinously out of date and I need to update it, we're on version 3.0.1 in the international forum and I have my own kernel for it too I made, that's why none of the links here work. Will try and get to it tomorrow ^^

    Hey guys, I have been running GPE for quite some time, it worked fine for me but I am interested in returning to stock Sense.

    I've been trying to figure out how to from this GPE v3.0.1 with SD Kernel 2.0.1 but am having difficulty returning to stock. I am still S-ON which probably complicates things. I have tried using SunShine to get S-OFF but it tells me that I am using a debugging enabled rom so it can not S-OFF. I am unsure what ROM I can flash which will allow me to run SunShine. Any ideas on what steps I should take to return to stock?

    Thank you so much, I really appreciate any help.

    If s-on, you must have just flashed the GPE ROM (did not do a "full" GPE conversion). So just flash a stockish Sense ROM that corresponds to your firmware (hboot, radio).
