Quick Tips

Quick Tips


Zram is dissabled by default, if you want to enable it type without quotes " zram enable " in a terminal emulator.

The softkey leds are on by default, if you want to turn them off go to /etc/init.d.dissabled, and move the SoftkeyLedsOff file to the init.d folder.

To take a screenshot hold down the power button, tap home button and release power.

There is a "Scripts" folder in /system with several scripts in it for different things, one being !V6 supercharger which i highly recomend using.

There is also an "init.d.dissabled" folder in /etc that has several init.d scripts for various things that can be moved to the init.d folder to activate at boot.

If you would like a script to be run when the phone is powered off, go to /etc/init.shutdown.sh and open it with the text editor. Then place the code in the file and save. Note there are already some commands in there, feel free to delete or comment out # any you dont want to run on power off.

If you would like to swap the emmc and sdcard (eg. sdcard mounted as emmc and emmc mounted as sdcard), go to /etc and look for "vold.fstab" rename it vold.fstab.bak Then find "vold.fstab.emms_as_sd" and rename it vold.fstab Then reboot.

Downloading it now, just installed protekks ics rom. But I do like stock roms... I just switched to ics because of the lack of updates on the other roms lately, not much to fix though.

I just need something to flash. So thanks.
I'll post back with my thoughts

I'm not sure why but this is the quickest and smoothest sense rom I have used. Only complaint is removal of friendstream apk while leaving the widget in, I like friendstream so I pushed it back in. Also I was having a lot of problems with apps not starting, I had the same problem when I tried zram and I ran zram disable and those problems stopped.

But anyway great job. This is my current daily. Also is there any network tweaks in place, I seen better dbi numbers

For some reason after the first install i had problems opening some apps too, but i just wiped dalvik and cache and rebooted, and all has been fine since.

I forgot i left zram enabled by default in versions 1.0 and 1.1, if you want to dissable it run zram dissable from a terminal emulator. I have been having issues with zram also. I believe tiny said he is going to give up on it. When he releases a new kernel it will likley not have zram.

No network tweaks radio (call) wise, but there are several 3g speed tweaks in the build.prop

Thanks for the feedback guys, glad you like it.

Is there a mirror somewhere? The DL speed is terrible from the link listed. It's cool if not, I can just be patient. :)

I'm having the same problems opening apps, a restart solved it. I also disabled zram.
Still on version 1 though. So far so good besides the apps not starting.

My button backlights don't seem to be working. I'll reflash tomorrow as it's getting late tonight.
I flashed v1.1, I disabled zram again I got multiple reboots. Stock+ seemed to like zram, I never got any restarts.
But this rom seems very stable and the battery life is pretty good so far.

Edit: I was getting some weird graphic glitches on v1, the status bar would be messed up on one end and the lockscreen silent bar was rotated 90 degrees for some reason. Not sure if you fixed it but it's gone now.

Button back lights are off by default on versions 1.0 and 1.1, something else i forgot to remove. If you want them on, remove the "SoftkeyLedsOff" file from the /etc/init.d folder.
This rom is basicly my current daily setup that i put together as a rom, and i forgot to remove some things that i had dissabled / enabled that others might not like.

The lockscreen vol slider being vertical is an issue with the ota release, and is usually not noticed as the sense lockscreen is usually over it. The lockscreen this rom uses however is the default android system lockscreen. I use widget locker (great app), so that is why i had the sense lockscreen dissabled. If you want the sense "lense" lockscreen back adb push the file below to /system/app, or manually use root explorer to move it to /system/app and set the correct owner (root), group (root), and permissions (rw-r--r--). http://dinc.does-it.net/APKs/Stock_HTC_Lock_Screen/HtcLockScreen.apk
The glitch on the left side of the notification bar has something to do with either the quicksetting mod, or the notification pull down transparency. I will take a look and see what i can do.
