Decided to help out and with the ok from ihtfp69 i wrote up a FAQ page
for everyone who uses Sky Raider Rom 3.3 Final
feel free to add.
zip is 180,304 kb
Sense 3.3 Requires a FULL WIPE
to avoid reboots make sure you have S-Off, Upgrade the radio to the OTA version
Wipe everything:
Factory Reset
Data Cache
Dalvik Cache
then apply SR 3.3
The initial boot animation is only there for the first boot and reverts to the original thereafter.
The fix for Rom Manager for fix permissions requires you to open Rom Manager once and then it will work after a reboot
Q: How to flash the ROM?
A:good info here... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=709220
Q: Since 3.3 requires a full wipe, due to all the changes, I was wondering if the MM mappings for the rosie launcher are still compatible with this new release.
A: All of the mappings are new so make sure you clear out the old ones and download the new ones.
Q:how to Change your lock screens from adb or terminal shellLock
A: there are 13 different lock screens including the HTC one
You must be on SP1 or higher to use them
Change your lock screens from adb or terminal shell
Type 'tabunlock' or 'rotaryunlock' to get the menu seen below
Please choose from the menu - S-OFF REQUIRED
1) normal
2) normal+menu unlock
3) normal+trackball unlock
4) music buttons
5) music buttons+menu unlock
6) music buttons+trackball unlock
7) restore HTC lock screen
8) get me out of here!
reboot
Q: how do you get a logcat?
A: Run CMD prompt and in while in the root folder sdk/tools/ run the command "adb logcat" copy paste all you see onto pastebin.com and post the link. or download logcat from market
"HTC Mail Mod for EAS Admin Removal" You just go to settings -> security -> remove admin policy
Any chance someone wants to actually put this on the wiki?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=HTC_Droid_Incredible
There is a ROM section in there and would be a much better location than in a forum post.
What do you guys think?

hi
I am running SkyRaider 3.0 Sense RC3 but I have been unsuccessful in updating the radio. I've tried HBOOT but it doesn't like the image, tried renaming to update.zip, tried running the zip from Recovery.
Please advise.
thanks

Hello,
I would like to know what is "HTC Mail Mod for EAS Admin Removal". Is this some kind of feature?
I would like to disable the PIN Lock on my phone that is enforced by my companies security policy. I used to use LockPicker on Android 2.1 but that no longer works. Is there another solution for Android 2.2?
Thanks.
Nevermind I found it. You should add this to the FAQ. You just go to settings -> security -> remove admin policy (forgot the actual name since after I removed it, the option is no longer there)
Im having a couple of problems
1) I cant get my Yahoo mail account to set up, I have installed the Mail Mod from ROM manager.
2) I am trying to install an application from the market and i am getting the error saying I dont have enough space to install. I really dont have many apps so i dont think thats accurate. I have cleared the market's cache, data, and restarted the application, problem still persists.
Thanks for the help

Check to see how many saved backups you have. Each backup can be upwards of 300mb's. If you have more than three that could be the problem. Happened to me once before. I got rid of a couple unnecessary backup files and freed up over half a gig of space. Apps from the market installed with no problems again afterward.

Q: How to enable Tab Lock Screen with Sound Controls?
A: You need to remove the HTC lock screen to get to the underlying stock lock screen, get into Recovery, mount system, I go into adb shell to remove
cmd prompt
Code:
c:/sdk/tools>adb shell
~# (showsup) mkdir /system/app.disabled/
~# mv /system/app HtcLockScreen.apk /system/app.disabled/

You have to let it sit for a good while... mine took like 5 minutes after changing the lock screen.
Is it normal for it to take up to 3 hours to complete? Cuz that's what keeps happening

Xperia X10a
ADW Launcher
Answer some if theres too many questions
[SOLVED] 1) Is there another more complete skin for the ADW dialer? Dialpad, Contacts, etc are all dark themed but once I do any of these it goes back to default blue theme
-Call a number
-View a contact
-End call
2) Which app will allow me to disable the slide to unlock screen and make it so that the power button will unlock screen? I tried NoLock as suggested on another thread but the lock screen activates at random times like other people said.
[SOLVED] 3) Is there a way to completely hide the notification bar? Cause my theme is blackish but the bar is blue (I made another thread asking how to skin the bar). I hid the bar from desktop with ADW but its only hidden on the desktop. Can I permantly hide it with other apps?
4) Im using the Droid X ADW Theme. How do I change the icons (Both drawer and desktop) with either editing the theme or using another app. And where are the ADW themes stored?
5) Is it possible to make the ADW Drawer a slide out? I know theres an option to set slide up/down fuctions but I want a draggable drawer.
6) Display is using way too much battery? It says its using 70% when the brightness is only like 30% of the brightness bar.
[SOLVED] 7) How do I remove stock apps like the default calculator, TrackID, etc? I tried using adb uninstall /system/app/*file*.apk but it says "Failure"
Ill add/remove questions as I find problems/solutions.
Thanks!

You can modify the bar so it's black, I've also just done that, but not sure how you would hide it completely.
But that is only for rooted ones, isn't it?

Ugh, more framework-res files. Its the same file with the notification bar files. The problem is I dont have ADB but my phone is rooted. Can I get that on my phone somehow?
Adb doesn't go on your phone. It goes on your PC. You use your PC to move framework files to your phone.

Setting up the Android SDK[/U][/B]
Download the file from above
Unzip to your desktop
Take the "android-sdk-windows" folder and move it to the root of your hard drive (C:\)
Right click on My Computer and click properties
Select the Advanced Tab or Advanced System Setting (Vista/Windows 7)
Select Environment Variables...
Press New
For Variable Name type: adb
For Variable Value type: C:\android-sdk-windows\tools
Now, [Get new sdk (1.5r3) to work]
1. Run SDK Setup.exe
2. If it gives you an error go to settings and click on "Force http//....."
3. Select all options and let it download and install
If you cant get the setup to work, Download the USB-DRIVERS folder - HERE (Windows XP/Vista/Windows 7)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Preparing your phone for ADB
Go to Settings on your phone
Select Applications
Select Development
Make sure 'USB Debugging' is checked
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Installing Drivers
Plug in your phone through USB and DO NOT MOUNT IT!!!!!
Your computer should see a new device and try to install Android 1.0 driver (If it doesnt, scroll down to the "Im not getting a notification of Android ADB when i plug in my USB" section)
Let it load
Once it cant find them select "Install drivers from my pc"
The drivers you need are in the Android SDK 1.5r2 folder (C:\android-sdk-windows\usb_driver)
Depending on your OS pick x86 or amd64
You ADB Android Device should now be installed! Good Job
For Android SDK 1.5r3+
1. Run SDK Setup.exe
2. If it gives you an error go to settings and click on "Force http//....."
3. Select all options and let it download and install
If you cant get the setup to work, Download the USB-DRIVERS folder - HERE (Windows XP/Vista/Windows 7)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Check if your phone is detected by ADB
Open up Command Prompt (Go to run, type in cmd, press enter)
Type in
Code:
cd C:\android-sdk-windows\tools === Press Enter
adb devices === You should see your device listed
adb shell === you should see # in the next line
Now you are all set to run adb commands
Note: for a list of commands type in 'adb' in cmd
CONGRATS YOU NOW HAVE ADB FULLY RUNNING!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Im not getting a notification of Android ADB when i plug in my USB"
Why: Your computer has detected your phone but as a protable device and as a storage device.
Fix: This took me a lot of research and time to figure out so this is what your are going to do.
First download USBDeview - Here
Unzip it
Run USBDeview.exe as Administrator
You will see all drivers being used on your computer
Highlight and Uninstall all drivers with the description have HTC Android (Should be 3 of them)
Right Click on the driver and press uninstall
Once done, Unplug your phone and plug it back in
You should now get the notification of the ADB device
Follow the steps above to install the drivers
Thats it for ADB! Congrats and if you have any questions please ask me or if anything is missing or not correct please tell me. I got all of this from research and personal experience.

I just pushed the new one over, however you do need to switch to the default dialler to see the change, and if you have trouble making calls like I did, go into manage applications, and clear the cache and or remove updates from the dialler and phonebook.

Edit your own, I use winrar, but don't close the archive, open it and extract the right file - statusbar_background.png - from drawable-land-240dpi, colour it, copy and paste it back into the winrar archive.

The phone says it is using 70% because the display uses the most energy at that moment. But 70% doesn't mean it is using much battery. It doesn't mean it is draining your battery. It only indicates how much more it uses compared to other things. It's normal and you can't do anything about it.

The problem is even after an hour of Asphalt 5 the display took 62% vs Asphalt which took 22%. However, I understand that all actions on the phone including Asphalt require the display so it will use up alot of energy. Was just hoping there was a way to decrease the battery usage.

The quickest way would be to load up another clean version changing the original to froyo boot it up & go to astro copy the build from system to SD or to the froyo version & restart then delete new version and paste the build into the original froyo & reboot
so i got my froyostone back to working
have pulled the build.prop from my shubcraft build... and pushed it to the froyostone build!!
hopefully the trick will work without that problem on my hopefully soon arriving android tablet
Next time, try backing up the android folder on ur SD card before changing anything.. that way a quick format and a trip to ur computer will get ur phone working again..

Can you share this file here? i got the same problem that many applications can't work with full screen, and i didn't backup this file...
thx~
Sorry for my Englisch.
Problems with the screen in fullscreen games.It is easy to change it.
Open the file with a text editor Build.Prop and edit the line of "ro.sf.lcd_density = 220" to "ro.sf.lcd_density = 240"
Followed the instructions and did this mod.
I sorta of like it. Didn't encounter any problems at all. It's hard to tell the difference. Some apps will support it, Sense UI does not.
The bigger question is. Does this impact battery life. I am still testing this..so right now that's debatable.
I set dpi to 192 and love it. Most apps show more info on screen, a few games are not clever enough.
After using WinMo for 2 years, I'm used to high precision "touching" :-D
A tip: download Spare Parts and use it to turn off compatibility mode.

Black screen from changing build.prop
So i really wish I found this thread before i tried to change anything. So i also have the black screen when loading android after changing build.prop file, I did copy the file before I changed it. Now i just dont know how to get into the system folder to change it back because when i load android its all black. Can anybody help me here?
Hi Everyone,
I am in need to know how to change the default homepage of litening rom as it gos to the very first page when i push the home button.
I would like to go to the middle page when i push it which requires i edit a line somewhere and put the number 3 in it.
Could anyone help me and the many others who dont know.
Thank you.
rom of Cognition provide this function base on official launcher, but i prefer 3rd party launchers such as adw launcher, zeam launcher and etc. all of which are configable.
Me too
Hey guys,
I wan't another screen to be default, so brought if I press the home button, too. I managed to change it on stock Samsung ROM with this method
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1096521
however there is no default.prop in system directory in Litening ROM! (I use 1.5).
So i wrote this ro.csc.homescreen.defaultscreen=4 into the "build.prop" file of the system folder -> does not work :'(
Then I have written it to the "default.prop" file in the / folder (so nothing ) -> does not work either : Seems to be that the Litening ROM overwrites this file every restart!
Please someone help me
I am in the exact same boat as you now. It does get annoying always going to the first page.
So not 1 person knows how to change it?
Easy way is to use Launcherpro, you an choose the amount of screens and which to use as default.
Put the below string in default.prop file. Replace 3 with whichever
screen as default.
ro.csc.homescreen.defaultscreen=3
This will set the homescreen at start up, but not working on pressing home screen button.

I dont get why it doesnt work when you press the homescreen button? LiteRom definately needs the feature to allow you to change it.

This feature does not depend of LiteRom(only if he finds a way to modify the rom somehow)
This file witch we were modifying up to now is missing in the latest rom's so another way must be found.
Maybe somebody with more skills can help us of corse the suggestions of changing the launcher are not solving our problem.
we need solutions for touchwiz.
this makes me sad
I am very new to android and rooting and roms, etc. I finally figured out how to flash a rom so i decided to go with lightening 6.1. Its really frustrating when small things like these don't work.
I really hope someone can come up with a fix. I've also noticed that adfree android app also doesn't work with this rom and thats such a bummer. I dont want to go back to my stock rom...

Yeah, I don't understand how it works but for some reason whenever I got the navigation and notification bar to disappear I just flashed the softkey mod and it appeared again . Hopefully someone more technical than me will make a use of it and design a better fix.
Big thanks for sharing this mate! Using a couple of these mods now, and that Greenify app is AWESOME. No idea how I haven't heard about it before

hi shem2409,
ok. 2 things:
- that is most probably my fault but the softkey_...._black.zip also gives you a black background for both, status and navigation bar. I could have been more descriptive in my post... sorry =)
- Ticklefish's Black status+ notification bar mod should give you in addition this:
Ticklefish said:
I've also changed the background of the toggles on the notifications screen to black as well. Looks nice, huh?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
but since both mods change SystemUI.apk they are going to overwrite each other. and if you flash the softkey mod, the black background of the toggles should be gone? can you confirm that? (the bars will still be black - since you flashed the softkey_black.zip)
and there could be a problem when doing mine and ticklefishs mod in the opposite order: I've put the ".odex file" into the SystemUI.apk, so it runs with odexed and deodexed roms - but it deletes the SystemUI.odex during installation (this is needed so the one from inside the apk is taken by android). Since ticklefish's mod does not have that "odex file" included (it's actually "classes.dex" when it's inside an apk), it will not work if you install his mod after the softkey mod...
so as far as I can tell from here (I haven't tried it out - just have looked at the files), step 5 is overwriting the changes made in step 4.
cheers and thanks for the video tutorial!
If you were to flash smaller soft keys, would games and apps scale correctly or would the image just be stretched? So right now if the soft keys occupy 100 pixels in height, and was changed to 50, would games use the extra pixels? Would it be stretched to fit or would it run at a higher resolution? Or would there be a dead space?

So right now if the soft keys occupy 100 pixels in height, and was changed to 50, would games use the extra pixels? Would it be stretched to fit or would it run at a higher resolution? Or would there be a dead space?

I checked in a couple of games and the bar remains smaller in the games, so I guess the game is stretched to fit the extra screen space.
Advanced reboot menu needs a deodexed rom so I wouldn't advise flashing it

Thanks for that information. I will add it to the video. I am actually on a deodexed stock rom and it worked fine for me.

hi shem2409,
ok. 2 things:
- that is most probably my fault but the softkey_...._black.zip also gives you a black background for both, status and navigation bar. I could have been more descriptive in my post... sorry =)
- Ticklefish's Black status+ notification bar mod should give you in addition this:
but since both mods change SystemUI.apk they are going to overwrite each other. and if you flash the softkey mod, the black background of the toggles should be gone? can you confirm that? (the bars will still be black - since you flashed the softkey_black.zip)
and there could be a problem when doing mine and ticklefishs mod in the opposite order: I've put the ".odex file" into the SystemUI.apk, so it runs with odexed and deodexed roms - but it deletes the SystemUI.odex during installation (this is needed so the one from inside the apk is taken by android). Since ticklefish's mod does not have that "odex file" included (it's actually "classes.dex" when it's inside an apk), it will not work if you install his mod after the softkey mod...
so as far as I can tell from here (I haven't tried it out - just have looked at the files), step 5 is overwriting the changes made in step 4.
cheers and thanks for the video tutorial!

I have modified the information in my post to account for what you thought me. Thank a lot for that. Tbh I always flashed one after the other and never even checked that flashing small softkeys on their own would do the job.

After TWRP backup I would install, Titanium backup, and do a backup of all the apps and settings, then install an optimised ROM, then 4 and 5 are covered in most cases.

If someone is on locked bootloader there is a limited number of ROMs available at the moment and tbh I haven't found one with smaller softkeys yet. As far as I am concerned the only one for locked bootloader available is the one in the link under my video. I could be wrong though.
Well, flash the smaller keys separately.
I have added the new MOD to add a background to the notification bar to the list.
11) Add a background to your notification bar (one of my favourites now)
