Nightlies Mirror

Here are the unofficial releases of our ROM. These get automatically uploaded every night.
You can check the changes in the changelog. The nightlies may not be 100% stable, if you want a
stable release, you're best off sticking to the official releases.


SVN Trunk

We use SVN to host our ROM project. This means you can
stay up to date with the ROM change by change. If you can't wait for the official
releases this lets you download the rom the minute we make a change to it.
It also stops you needing to download the full ROM every time, as it
downloads only the changed files for that particular revision.

For a guide on setting up the SVN, please check here

As you've no doubt noticed, the famous Renovate theme is still MIA. It will be reappearing in one form or another, just not sure exactly when yet. In the meantime, you can get your theming fix using the add-ons available in myHub (coming soon).

If you want something more complete, check out @Raymond Ebertt's great themes in post 5 of this thread.

Alternatively, you can get @nashshafrulrezza's masterpiece transparent theme over in his thread - Emerge. Be sure to thank him for sharing his work with us lucky Renovate folk, and bringing a touch of Team420 to our rom :)

Renovate Full Coloured Themes

After long consideration, I have selected three themes that I would love to share with the Renovate public. These themes are based on the latest Milestone and unfortunately, they will not work on any earlier versions of the Renovate ROM. These themes are fully inverted with 4 wonderfully assorted colouring schemes that I hope you'll find enjoyable. Please make a full back-up of your current settings before flashing. If you want to replace the wallpapers, just apply a wallpaper of your preference. All themes have been tested for some time now and I don't anticipate any issues.

Enjoy.



















This is a beta version of the Razor Chrome Red theme. This theme is based on the latest Milestone and should not be flashed on anything older. There will be an update in a few days once a couple of apks have been moved over to system. As always, make a back-up of your current settings. Download and flash. Enjoy. Any requests of issues can be posted in the thread and I will look into it. I don't anticipate anything going wrong as I ran this theme for a while now.

Enjoy








This is a Beta version of the Razor Black Theme for Sense 6. It has taken me a long time to get this theme in a position to publish. There will be some theming inverting issues, so please report. I checked as much as I could but I am sure I missed something.

This theme is based on the stock theme (the green wallpaper theme). All major apks are inverted. Please make a complete backup of your current settings. Again, report and issues regarding the theme here so that it can be corrected in the first update.

Enjoy.








Final Release - April 23, 2014.......... hopefully...





ASSORTED BATTERY PACKS

Here are a few battery packs that I made up this evening. I will be doing a couple more and probably a different style. If there is any special you want, just let me know and I'll try my best. Cheers.

Does Sense 6 support Sprint?
Answer: The Sprint support is being worked on but currently the rom is GSM only. Team Renovate appreciates our Sprint users and we are actively working to get Sprint support built into the ROM, as well as all other U.S. specific carriers

My GPS isn't working on ATT ! How do I fix it?
Answer: Simply flash SVN or Nightly Revision 60 or newer and choose full aroma install. Choose ATT for the carrier and then continue with your usual settings


What's this I see in the thread about editing my build.prop? What's a build.prop?
Answer: That was a workaround for early version, flashing SVN 60 or newer will eliminate the need for any such edits.


How do I remove or change the HEQS in notification drop down? How do I change from sense to android toggle?
ANSWER: Tap the DATE in the notification pulldown to remove them or switch between sense and android


Why is there no clock in my blinkfeed?
Answer: The clock will appear in blinkfeed when you set the blink feed as the default home screen

How can I get rid of the pastel green?
Answer: Go to Settings/Personalize/Themes and choose one of the other themes. That's right, Sense 6 has a built in theme chooser!

Does ART work?
Answer: Not currently working on any Sense 6 roms, we'll let you know when that changes

Should I do a clean install?
Answer: Clean installing is best especially when coming from a different rom or sense version, but you can try installing without a factory reset.
NOTE: Do not report bugs or problems in the rom thread until you have done a clean install after wiping with a factory reset.


Can I odex this rom upon installing it?
Answer: Currently odexing the rom causes problems booting, the developers will add that as a working feature soon!

Why is my phone bootlooping?
You probably chose to odex it (see above) and to fix it simply choose not to odex it.

Why are my icons so white and bright?
Answer: Renovate believes in building a high quality base rom for the foundation of our work. Renovate themers and developers are working hard to bring you Renovate Theme and a long list of features and mods. Sense 6 is the biggest update/change HTC has thrown our way so we are building from the ground up instead of simply porting a theme from one base to another.

What is the SVN trunk/checkout/link for Renovate Sense 6?
Answer: Also located in the OP, the link is currently http://androidsvnhost.com:9880/svn/renovate-m7-sense6/trunk/

Some quick questions
1. Is the clock removed in BlinkFeed and app drawer ?
Can I enable it in BlinkFeed?
2. Is Bluetooth fixed. Earlier I was able to send and receive but advance options was showing a blank screen and clicking on show received files used to FC the Bluetooth

Thanks

1) Blinkfeed clock is only activated when you set Blinkfeed as home screen
2) Still got FCs when tapping on show received files...
