ok... so I started messing with settings.apk.. I got most of the icons on the left hand side stock. All of them except for 3. Pen, Location and Power. This is because in stock HC Location and Security are together, there is no power and there is no pen. These will have to be custom made images and I'm not really a graphic design person. for the time being I will work on getting the background color something different besides white

Hey, I'm a graphic design person! If you can get me a couple of the other stock icons as samples (and for size/color reference) I can supply the missing ones.

Hey there, gratz on the ROM.

Question: Does Scribe work on this?

Sure does :) I was just using it to take my screen shots
which I added to post 3

Hey, I'm a graphic design person! If you can get me a couple of the other stock icons as samples (and for size/color reference) I can supply the missing ones.
ok! will do. I'll attach one of the samples to this post in a few. I need to run and get some coffee :)

I believe connect to PC should be in systemui somewhere. Thats where the files are called from on the nook tablet atleast so it cant hurt to check.

Thanks! Got the icons replaced except for the connect to pc one. That one is not coming from settings because the image that's showing up isnt in the apk at all.. hmm smh, I have to figure that out

I'm assuming there's a stock version for that but if not let me know and I can put one together.

Also, just wondering - has the Sense flip clock / weather widget been removed? NBD if so, but it was one of the few Sense bits that I've always liked.

Cool glad you like it :) How is it running so far for you?

I couldnt find it in systemui. It could be in htc framework-res somewhere. HTC has a habit of doing this all the icons will mostly be in one apk but then there will be one or two that's not and they are in some random apk somewhere

I'm assuming there's a stock version for that but if not let me know and I can put one together.

Also, just wondering - has the Sense flip clock / weather widget been removed? NBD if so, but it was one of the few Sense bits that I've always liked.

thanks, I have one I can use. I just have to find where it is. There isn't a stock version as I think it's an HTC thing. Because it's not in my asus transformer settings screen at all. Like I said above it's probably in one of the htc apks somewhere since it's an HTC thing.

The sense clock and weather widget are apart of the launcher. If you dont use the sense launcher you dont get those widgets. Even if the sense launcher is not removed and if you use a different launcher (adw, go launcher) you also lose access to those widgets.

ok, So I was going to release version 1 which removed the HTC mail and calandar app but when I did that of course the shortcuts on the lockscreen were gone. It annoyed the crap out of me so I looked into removing the shortcuts. It seemed pretty easy and followed the directions to the T (I've played with .m10 files before) but after I made the change to hide them I kept getting a boot loop, so I had to revert back. Now I think I will add the HTC calendar app and Email app back (still leaving the stock HC ones as well) just so the lockscreen isnt an eye sore. I use widget locker so it's not really an issue for me if they are removed (in fact I will prob run it with them removed still) but I'm sure not everyone uses a LS replacement so I didnt want them to have to look at the eyesore as well :)

Version 1 and the only really two big things left to tackle are settings.apk(which I made a little progress with) and the lockscreen(not as huge for me since I use WL)

Downloading now. This might be as close as we get to an AOSP ROM.

I think I just read it wrong, but did you already release the 3rd alpha version? The link in the OP is for the 2nd alpha.

I was actually thinking of building CM7 for the device but not sure...

There's been people who have been saying it wouldn't be worth a developer's time, but really, I think a lot of people would appreciate it.

The only problem is that it will probably be difficult (or impossible) to get the pen functions to work in an AOSP ROM.

CM7 would be awesome, though...if for nothing other than that it opens up a door for CM9. :D

CM9 would be great. I'm curious about how ICS looks on tablets - is the status bar back on top (like on the Galaxy Nexus) or is it on the bottom like HC?

    A few people have PM'ed me asking about donating. Well, I dont/wont ever ask for donations and honestly I prefer to NOT get donations. I do this work first and for most for me(Yeah I'm a selfish bastard) so I can learn more, so I can make my device the way I want my device, I just decide to share what I make for myself instead of keeping it for myself (I'm selfish, not greedy) and I feel if people start donating they might get more demanding and feel more entitled so I'd rather just skip all of that potential drama. When it comes to requesting things in this rom, I will put them in IF it's something I would use myself. If it's not, then I most likely wont add it. So please dont donate to me, If you want to do some good instead of donating to me, donate to a worthy charity instead! Thank you all for using my rom!

    Okey guys.. this will stop right here.

    There is no need for this debate. The work is done for free, nobody has to be here on demand.

    take it or leave it.
    XDA is not a helpdesk !!!

    Thread cleaned !

    I am sorry but I have to put my 2 cents in here. Graffixsync has alot more on his plate than you think. Someone can't spend their entire life helping people all day every day 24/7.. I have spent 132 hours within the last month and a half developing a tool that would simplify life for people and I try the best I can to support, correct, and update the tool. I have a cell phone so I have irc up all the time 24/7, I have 8 hours off a day (yes thats right the military makes me work anywhere from 12-15 hours a day) and I spend my free time helping people in this community. I spend my time and I get lots of thanks here and there but then I get those very few people who are ungrateful that say I'm not there (for that 3-6 hours that I sleep) and they rate my tool bad and very difficult to understand. We are only human, as developers we spend our "free time" helping the community and we are not always there. If I wanted to I could easily leave this forum and say forget this I quit at anytime and would feel no regret knowing that my tool is working and will be working for quite a while with no support. If I died in battle, training or in a car wreck and didnt show up here on the forums for weeks, months years... would you just say "close this thread the developers doesn't care anymore?" Leave this guy alone. I wouldn't blame him if he said "forget you" at any time. It's people like the "trolls" that make us developers not want to help people anymore.

    Think before you post. Cause you might regret those words later.

    Until you are a developer with 100's of request every hour of people wanting something from you don't talk crap toward us.

    If it was something you paid for yes I would understand support daily but this is all free..

    by the way you said "no one held a gun to their head to make the rom" well guess what buddy "NO ONE PUT A GUN TO THEIR HEAD AND MADE THEM FLASH THE ROM"

    also if something is working fine the developer can step away for a while. If there is a problem (weeks later) it is the end users problem. It is not the rom.

    It is kind of sad that so far EVERYBODY that has posted after you has posted negative comments about what you wrote so I think the majority vote wins on the point of "the developer doesn't have to support the product if its free"

    I have recently talked to Graffixsync (within the last day) and he is busy right now. If you can just hold on he might help you.

    Have u ever walked into a business and there's a sign that says "we can refuse service to anyone"?

    I am going to cut off now because I know that I wouldn't want my forum to be turned into a flame fest.

    And if anyone agrees with the last statement please don't post anymore comments to feed the trolls....if anything just do "thanks" on the posts you agree with to show the negativity instead of filling up the forums with stuff that doesn't pertain to making the rom better :)

    Ok wow... I just read through the pages that I havent seen in since I've been around....

    for 1. I do have a full time programming job, I also go to school at night full time which I'm taking calculus this semester and it's killing me.. I was suppose to get something to kevin last week but just didnt get around to it with all my studying. I have a psychology exam AND a calculus exam tomorrow. Plus my 14 year old daughter was getting into trouble and now she is living with me full time instead of her mom so the past month has been quite an adjustment for me considering I was "free" before and now I have my daughter here all the time. I'm also getting a side business off the ground to do rooting and flashing for noobs(and I'm talking noobs that know less than xda noobs) as well as writing for a android site AND also trying to find time for my music...

    I dont even have time to beat off anymore let alone much of anything else..

    This weekend I'm going to play catch up here on XDA As well as give Kevin something cool for his tool.

    Now I really dont appreciate all the arguing in the thread. So if you guys could please just chill out and get back on topic I would appreciate it.

    One thing I would like to address is people have been asking me about when the next update will come. Well honestly, with the HC rom I dont know of much more than can be done to improve it. It's not like there are new OTA's coming with updates. I have asked you guys what would you like to see in the next version but didnt get many responses. so I will ask again.. Knowing that there really havent been any official updates since. What would you guys like to see in the next version that's not in there now? And dont say ICS because that would be a completely different rom. So what are some things I can add to improve this rom?

    Ok... So now I will address some of your questions and bickering


    my g-sensor isn't working correctly after I flashed the rom. I tried to calibrate it but it seem like the calibrate isn't working correctly either, can someone help me?

    Hmm that's odd.. I'm not having that problem at all.. My sensors are working perfectly..


    just installed this on my view, LOVE it!! so far very smooth and quick.. I am a fan of sense but mostly for its features on my phone.. so this is great! I love it..

    well Has anyone else noticed a huge decrease in battery life with this ROM? It is drain incredibly fast and charging ridiculously slow..?
    has this happened to anyone? Is there any settings I can fix.. I have wiped eerything and reflashed it but still draining .. the number on battery goes down every time i look at!! lost 20% in about half an hour and the battery on this is normally pretty good..

    any help would be appreciated!!

    other than this, I love this rom which is why I really hope there is a way to improve ;-)

    Glad you like it! I havent experienced bad battery drain. As a matter of fact my battery life is pretty damn good. I would suggest getting the app better battery stats. It will help you identify any rouge apps causing battery drain. The says it is for GB but it works fine in HC. I use it all the time to help figure out what's draining my battery if I have bad battery drain

    I have similar impressions - the battery graph seems to drop pretty steeply whenever the tablet is awake. I also noted that the "cell usage" bar is a solid orange (I did not flash the extra ZIP to enable the radio).

    See above


    Gonna give this a try. I have a quick question. If I need the htc facebook sync added back, is it as easy as pushing the htcFacebook.apk file back to the system folder?

    Yes, You should be able to just push the HTC FB app apk and it should work. All of the HTC framework is intact

    I haven't flashed zip.. but I was under the impression that the radios aren't working because I have the wifi only version of ROM. Am I wrong in assuming this? If so where is the zip that I can flash?

    The radios wont work if you just flash the rom, unless you flash the enable.zip, But GPS wont work as well (if at all) without the radio stuff because GPS depends on the radio to an extent

    I must be missing something (wouldn't be the first time), but I can't see where in the stock Messaging app it allows me to attach pictures? I know I can because I did using Go SMS.

    Anyone give me a heads up here? No attachment button anywhere I can see

    I believe in the stock messaging app you press menu, then there is a menu item to attach a file.

    any future updates coming soon?

    Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using XDA App

    I'm trying to think now of what I can update ;)

    I've used this rom for a week, the only problem is sms message always delay and will be sent after device restarted. I've flash the enable4g.zip right after flashed the rom.

    hmm I dont use 4g at all, so That I cant help with. :( sorry, Maybe one of the guys that has 4G service can better answer that and chime in.


    Well I guess the developer has abandoned his work here. It seems like most roms for the View have been abandoned by their developers. Thanks Viper for keeping up with yours. Now could you please create an HC rom for us? :)

    Too bad. I guess that's what we get for buying a relatively obscure device. If only HTC hadn't wildly overcharged for this device from the start they might have had a real winner on their hands here.

    I have tried all the 7 inch tablets and IMHO the View is by far the superior product. I LOVE the pen input. This rom is awesome except for not being able to attach images to texts when using the stock messaging app (wish I could get an answer on that).

    Sent from my PG41200 using Tapatalk

    I didnt abandon anything, I've been busy.. Are you paying my salary? Are you paying my rent? Are you even making a donation? no, So I'm sorry to sound like a **** but I dont owe you or anyone anything. I did this rom because I wanted a rom with as much sense ripped from it as I could get. After I did it for my own use I shared it with everyone. When I first was working on it there were updates every day or every couple of days. Now that's it's been pretty stable there is no need to update it that often. If there is a huge update of apps for HC (which there wont be anymore) I would incorporate them into the rom but there havent been any significant updates

    He was just on the thread Feb 9th. Give the guy a break. I imagine he also has a paying job.

    sent from my EVO 4G running ICS

    TY!

    Oh I'm sorry. The developer visited his thread only 8 days ago. How dare I believe he abandoned it - facepalm.

    I posted a question in Vipers rom and he answered it THAT day.

    I have asked a simple question about a major feature of this rom twice now over a period of many days. If the developer is not prepared to support his product and answer questions about it he should not post. Coming around every 2 weeks is not sufficient for a developer. People are counting on their work and need their input.

    I am not complaining about the SMS app, just asking a simple question about it which I cannot seem to get answered.

    I also pm'd the developer regarding the SMS issue and no response.

    Sent from my PG41200 using Tapatalk

    I dont recall seeing a PM from you, but honestly I'm VERY bad at the whole PM thing.. Sometimes I dont check my PM's for weeks..



    I am going to give this rom a try. I have a quick question. After flashing the 1.5, I flash the enable4g.zip to get the 3g and 4g service back. Will I need to go ahead and update the profile after it boots?

    I would update your prl and profile after enabling that stuff


    Actually, as a developer we have no responsibility to help those with issues. Thats the beauty of us being non-professional developers. We basically can drop something off and then say "figure it out" there is a bit of a rule when asking for help, if they decline or don't reply, you better learn to troubleshoot. I just became a developer a few months ago and until that, I was an end user. You know how many times I posted my issues with a rom? None. Because if something doesn't work, I see why. Such as if it was my fault or not. If it was, I fix it and move on. If nothing is wrong due to me, I'll wait quietly if I see the issue is known and wait for an update. Users like you make me regret learning this much about android sometimes. We do this for the community, not ungrateful idiots like you.

    i wouldnt really be to afraid of breaking this one. Its quite difficult and my tool can put it back to shape in no time if it "breaks"

    Thanks Kevin for giving me the heads up of what was going on here...

    Now with that gentleman, I am now going back to studying for my 2 exams tomorrow.. I will be around the thread this weekend for sure. I'm actually going to be in CT this weekend to visit my uncle with my daughter but I will be taking my laptop with me so I can at least check on things..

    If I forgot to address your question in this post I'm sorry, I had a lot of posts to read, but re ask it and I'll answer it.. ON FRIDAY
