is there way to make this happend
so we could remove from the update file apks we dont want
thx
old topic
Code:
shubCRAFT build + Htc Sense possible ?
if i take the apks of htc sense and put them in
htc update file in shubcraft its will install the htc ?
and remove the LauncherPro
nope, it isnt possible, sense is much more than just a launcher it has lots of modified frameworks too
I'm sure you can find a theme that looks similar to sense if thats all your after.
Maybe similar but it is not the original.
the htc dialer would be great if theres anyway to bring it in.

A cat is fine too...
Whats wrong with the builds that natively run sense? What is the benefit to sense on top of shubcraft. The entire idea of shubcraft is to be an alternative to sense via the cyanogen mod.
shubchraft! was made for those who don't like HTC Sense and Original android stock! I also like HTC Sense and I am using Darkstone latest with HTC sense and it works great!
You guys don't get it, huh?
Most builds, except shubcraft, come with the system in an ext2 image that needs to be mounted in linux in order to make changes to the system. shubcraft, which uses zegobit's superb initrd, has the ability to use an OTA-like update.zip that requires no signature and is used to create the system image.
What OP is asking for is for a sense build built around this rootfs.
It's possible/doable. I'm still very much a linux newbie and I don't understand the boot process too well. I do know that as it is right now, the init.rc in the rootfs only sets the jar classpath for the stock android and misses some jars actually needed to get sense builds to boot too.
I figure it could be as easy as taking the initrc from a sense build, commenting out the filesystem mounting procedures (as the init script already takes care of it), and then make an update.zip using, say, matt's sense system (mount it, extract it, and then compress it all into a zip).
Guess I'll give it a shot and then post both the update.zip and rootfs if it works
yes that what i meant
hope u will success
This would be great to have.

1) I want to know, what parts of sense are device specific?
2) Is a new kernel needed to port it?
3) What dependencies does rosie.apk have?
4) To anyone that has ported it, what was the general process?
On samsung i5700 btw
Thanks
i too would like more info. There has to be a better way than the way of just trial and error. for the windows mobile of Sense, a couple of devs developed a SDK to actually program sense based roms and not just hack
would be interesting to see something like this come to android

#1 You dont see SenseUI on non HTC devices because drivers just dont match up. Its difficult to port from one htc phone to another, imagine porting from HTC to Motorola (although it is being worked on)
#2 I have used non sense kernels for Sense ROMS and there are some overclock kernels that are universal for all ROMS (for a specific device). Im not sure about all kernels.
#3 WOW this is a big one. The list is too long to describe haha. The Sense UI runs deep down from the framework to system files and you wont be able to simply drag a few files over to a NON sense ROM and make it run. The reason you don't see sense widgets floating around on non sense ROMS is because they reference back to other system files and images in the framework. Ok so SOME sense apps like the keyboard can be ported over because all dependencies and files run within the application so thats ok. I know the widgets are a no go for the most part.
#4 Cant help you on that one. Never ported one completely but Ive modified already ported sense ROMS.
I don't know about Sence, but my Liquid has a lot of changes in system libs and frameworks. But from the visual side of things - it is stock Android. So Sense should be even more intrusive.
Nothing is impossible - just take dissassmbler, debugger and plenty of time to accompany you.
Hello. How are you? I Would like to request ( i dont really know if is possible) the possibility of creating A2SD on cursorsense or a Stock with root 3.05.401.3. Do you think is possible? I Like speed and sense, just missing the A2SD . Thank you wherever is possible or not. I'll await a reply. =) Regards
The feature of a2sd must be supported by kernel,because the script would not be executed if sd is not mounted so we have to make some change to kernel that we could have sd mounted before the a2sd script's exed.

cursor tried working on this for his rom but i guess there was no possible solution
i hope it is possible though, my phone gets full from hardly any apps
oh. if is on framework, there are issues wich is hard to make work i presume. Hm Well If is possible wouuld be great =). Thank you for replying
Not the framework, the linux kernel. It would need to support one of the ext filesystems (ext2, ext3, ext4). You can check whether it does by executing
Code:
adb shell cat /proc/filesystems
and looking for any of the ext's in the output. If it's not there, one would need to recompile the kernel adding this support.
Hmm although I don't really know why nobody uses yaffs on partitions of the sdcard - anybody know whether it would work? Or make sense?
The kernel does support ext2/3/4 but the problem is that it executes the app2sd script before it mounts the SDcard.
Perhaps the new apps2sd script would solve the issue. (new as in cm5)
yeah I just found http://wiki.theandroidkitchen.com/index.php?title=CursorSense32A_FAQ which kind of explains this. I'm not really content with that explanation though, if it were as simple as tweaking the apps2sd script surely cursor would have implemented it?
EDIT I just looked at the apps2sd script on my current rom (see signature) and as I suspected, it's the script itself that issues the command to mount the sdcard ext partition. So that explanation kinda doesn't make sense to me.
There's an init.rc script that comes with the kernel (boot.img). But the kernel takes a while to load up the SD for some reason and hence the issues.
It's easy to edit but I'm not exactly sure what has to be edited.
On my cousin's phone I just moved the system dalvik-cache to /cache to free up about 20 MB.
Also move market cache to /cache:
Clean it out and symlink to /cache
cd /data/data/com.android.vending
rm -R cache
mkdir /sdcard/cache/market
ln -s /sdcard/cache/market cache
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Or just move first and then symlink it
You can query the size of a folder using: du -hs
If you really really want Apps2SD someone can look into it. It can be solved by using an alternate kernel (sanpei). But there hasn't been much activity with 1.5 Sense ROMs here on xda.
Alternately you can find plenty of 32A 1.5 Sense ROMs on international forums.

Thank you everyone. You guys as always are great. Im sorry to request a 1.5 android with a2sd. Without wanting to consider the devs work as in my opinion all work is really great, i was interested on a simple stable fast rom with sense with a2sd because happens that most wich has sense becomes very slow for me on daily use. The roms i had an excelent experience was villain 3.4 for magic ( cant use because it freezes but great release never had slow issues) its a 2.1 android. Also capyslide 1.6 ( only issues was that wasnt completle stable but o loved it. The rc became very slow compared to the other previous versions )
Sorry to post this opinion. But ive been looking and since most of roms 2.1 android are slow compared to what i need, at least i didnt had the experience i expected, cyanogenmod 5.07 in my opinion at speed has grown alot compared to the 4.2.1.15 version to bad isnt sense where i have a preference ( imagine for example i work as agent of a doctor, make alot of calls and in emergency situations if my phone is slow when i need to call an ambulance, im giving an example of the emergency situations wich might happen ) so prefered to roll back until there was. a more mature rom 2.1.
Thank you for all wich are reading and replying =)
That is the main reason of my request. Thank you

1)
CM4 and CM5 are both mature ROMs. You just have to downgrade your radio.
If you don't want to, use any one of the new radio ROMs with sanpei kernel that have apps2sd support.
I have a HTC Dream running CM5 and I don't see how CM5 can be considered slow at all. If you are really looking for speed, use CM5 with SetCPU to overclock to 576 MHz and you will see a noticable performance increase. rps13 is working on ironing the kinks in the 710 MHz oc so look at that one too.
If you limit your background apps, the ROM really flies. Just flash stock CM5 and bcrook's officially supported kernel port instead of one of the ones you see in these forums until you see more verification amongst the users for stability of those specific ROM blends. Cyanogenmod.com forums is your best bet.
2)
If you are keen on using a Sense ROM, you should be able to take a apps2sd enabled sanpei .32.9 kernel (boot.img and wlan.ko as usual) and flash it to Cursorsense to get working apps2sd.
3)
The .27 kernel Cursorsense is based on may have issues mounting the sd card quickly for apps2sd to happen.
Finally there is the option of flashing .9 (or some other version) version of Cursorsense where apps2sd was actually enabled, but you may run into issues.

Could you please explain what i should really do in orther to be able to use app2SD on cursor?
I like Cyanogenmod but the thing is i prefer much more the sense. I know i'm a bit dificult with taste but sense i moved to sense i didnt want anything else.
I would be happy to try your suggestion on cursorsense. I need to get the boot img of sanpei. but how exacly would it work? You know wher ei can find a tutorial or something wich would give me a begining to start? Thank you
Cursorsense in his rom said once:
I need to make something clear to everyone here...
Apps2SD is definitely a good option for people who need it, but I can't deliver it with this ROM.
The kernel doesn't load the SD card soon enough to handle the automatic Apps2SD script.
Guys, I really want to help you out here, but I don't know if I can.
Maybe another ROM might be best if you need the space... sorry eyegor.

Instead of automatic how about manualy? For instance a system as Cyanogenmod but. instead of loading the apps automaticaly, we have a loader(wich would work as an emulator or something identical) wich run the apps wich are installed on the SD Card?
To activate this option this loader must work as an app, and we could install apps from it. Wouldnt be this way more stable?
I think the title might say it all but I am a T-Mobile US user and I would like to see a 100% STOCK Desire HD build.
It must include/meet the following:
1. No Apps, Media, Images, etc.. Removed from the ROM
2. NOT Squashed
3. T-Mobile US MMS patched(I have a perfect patch for Desire HD builds that I will provide)
4. English (United States) - set as default language - My patch that I will provide includes this
5. Correct T-Mobile US APN Settings - My Patch includes this
6. RMNET... NOT PPP
7. T-Mobile US DNS settings in build.prop - I will supply these as well
8. ROOT Access with SuperUser - SUPER IMPORTANT
9. T-Mobile Apps(Visual Voicemail and My Account) - I have APK's that I can provide if needed - OK if not included. Can install as add-on to prevent the VVM app from resetting.
10. NO CUSTOM CRAP - Themes, icons, bootscreens(white with Green HTC logo is stock), etc... Must appear to be stock.
11. EVERYTHING MUST WORK AS EXPECTED(including Wi-Fi and Bluetooth MAC addresses)
12. Must be overclockable W/Smartass governer(mdeejay Kernel?)
13. Deodexed.
EXTRA. Would be nice to see a CWR zip of the final product as well. (THE IMG2CWM THAT BUILDS ZIPS DOESN'T DO IT CORRECTLY)
So what you now see is that I want my HD2 to appear as if it is a Desire HD, work like it was a Desire HD, feel like it is a Desire HD, etc...
I understand that 720p video recording is not going to happen. I'm okay with that.
I will pay $50 to whoever releases the NAND ROM meeting my requirements above.
(NOTE: This is for your time and services only. It is NOT for the ROM as that would be a violation of Xda rules and the Android GPL)
If you also want this, please vote "Yes" above and feel free to post.
(Option 2 is labeled how it is because you are forced to select 2 options when creating a Poll. This was created to get a count of the people who want the ROM, not the people who don't want it.)

Major differnces between v1 and v2...
Deodex
v1 is not deodex and v2 is. What is deodex you ask? Well, odex takes your apps and splits them into two files. The first files is let says CMYLXGOisCOOL.apk and the second file would be CMYLXGOisCOOL.odex. The reason for the two files is to speed the rom up. If you want to know how this is possible I suggest you use google to get the full technical reason behind the technology. Non-deodexed would also explain why some say that v1 is faster than v2. The reason that people desire a deodexed rom is that it is more universal and themeing is easier to do. However, you can still use deodexed themes with a non-deodexed rom...you will just have to do a little extra work. All files that are being replaced in the theme will have to have the corrosponding .odex file deleted. The only reason I did an deodexed ROM was per request #13 on post #1. However, I really think that goes against the point of this thread of having a pure fast T-Mobile Desire HD ROM. I hope this explanation will stear you guys towards v1
Default Sound Set Pre-Loaded
v1 does not have a preloaded Sound set on first boot. By not having a preloaded sound set you will not get email audible alerts until you log into the HTC HUB and download one. I have yet to figure out where these files are stored and will continue to do research to get one loaded. My future plans is to create a custom sound set for my BlueTopia ROM once I figure out how to do it. The base rom i used for v2 has a default sound set preloaded.
DesireHD/Z Hybrid
v1 is a true full Desire HD base and has higher res and gradients in all screens. v2 appears to be a hybrid build of the HD and the Z. The Desire Z has a 3.7" screen compared to our Huge 4.3". Even thou both phones run the same native screen resolution of 480x800 the smaller 3.7" screen has some items that displayed in larger fonts to make reading easier. The most noticable place for this is during the setup wizard on first boot. I for one can not really tell a differnce once fully booted.
Shutdown Menu
The shutdown menu pops up when you long press the end key. On v1 I have a slimmed down very clean and basic menu loaded. It gives you 3 Options; Power Off, Hibernate, Restart. In v2 the shutdown menu adds; Silent mode, Vibration mode, Airplane Mode, Mobile network. I personally only use the options that are cooked into v1 and I like the cleaner look. The extra options in v2 can easly be done with other buttons or menus on the phone. Again this is another vote for v1 by me.

It's an easy process to convert the regular nand to a ROM-ZIP...heck you can flash it then use clockworks to back it up then use clockworks to "restore" it after partitioning and it works to create the romzip files...just fyi.
If that was clear as mud pm me if you need the info.
i'm in, i'm not a rich man but $20- $50 mean nothing to me flash via usb please cuz i dont want mess around with recovery

can we use this thread to request a similar thing for the euro HD2
- unsquashed untrimmed untouched stock WWE desire HD build
- only useless apps and crazy big apps like quickoffice and reader are removed, also apps easily available in market like flash and voice search
- stock boot animation, stock framework, stock sounds and fonts, stock keyboard, WWE languages, default english, you get the idea..
- all the wallpapers and themes, only themes can be reduced if it must
to deal with the space issue it needs to have scripts enabled and run with either A2SD+ (like dark tremor script) or data2sd ext partition, preferable ext2 to reduce risk of corruption
i had a dark termor A2SD+ running on my classic desire never felt a space issue, data2SD can boost IO speeds but maybe a little more risky
in other words we need an desireHD2 rom with nothing personalized in it

I would like this as well, if it actually runs fast, and hastarin's kernel has OC in it as well, so you'd go with that or MDJ.
Honestly though, shouldn't this thread be in General? Anyone not a MOD would have their thread moved out of here if it was just a request for a ROM.
Let me clarify.. I'm asking for a TMOUS ROM using my patches. Not a Generic built-for-all type ROM. I am a T-Mobile US customer with a T-Mobile US device.
And yes this thread should be in General. Just like everyone else, I posted in Dev to get attention. I got my attention and so now I will move my own thread out of here.

lol, like a cop who turns on his lights to get thru the red light then turns them off again
no worries man you're damn good at keeping this place clean and moderating in general.
I'm with you on the ROM idea, completely generic then added your patches (since I too am a TMOUS user who wants it customized for my network/location) if someone cooks this I'm sure some TMOUS users would be pleased,
since I use CWM though I'd love to have a zip of this as well as a DAF version, I think the conversion is pretty simple.
Dont know whether I should put this here or in general.....
Anyways, I do have a laptop now. I can make mods etc, but I do not know how. What is the best way to make soft-mods?
What devs allow softmods?
What do people want in a softmod?
Any suggestions would be welcome!
Thanks for your Offer.
I recommend you to make a Froyo Soft-Mod, cause we've a lot of GB CM7 on this forums, will be great to see more Froyo's ROM updated.

Well you can always edit png's in framework. You can use uot kitchen, dsixda kitchen, xultimate.
Init.d can be tweaked
If you want a complete ROM build you can try aosp froyo. You might use pcfighter / zice kernel .....

Aosp froyo with notification bar togles, init.d script and ginger or some other theme would by nice.
When i created my soft-mod i didn't use a computer.
U don;t really need a computer to create a mod.
U just need root explorer. unless u want to create it into a recovery zip
Yes

Hi.
I want start to make Rom .
Where should I start *?
Sent from my HTC Explorer A310e using xda app-developers app
Start by making soft-mods. Get a Rom flash it on your phone, dont add any personal stuff like contacts yet. Put in some nice apps themes tweaks and mods and after that use CWM to back it up and it "should" be ready to share... well at least that is somewhere to start from.
Edit: For those planning to make 4.0 softmods maybe you can also see this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1680328 i know its from the SGSII but i guess the way to do things is similar. (just dont use the flashable thing from the mediafire link!)
How to port Sense.

This is NOT my guide, just posting it here!
This is a very difficult process that I hope you'll understand.
First step is to find a device that is preferably VERY similar to your device, in this instance I guess we would use the htc thunderbolt, which I've been told multiple times that it is used for the MT.
You're going to want to use CM7 for parts. Simple enough.
I will be referring the Sense ROM to SENSE and CM7 as BASE to simple things up. So remember that.
When I say replace, I would recommend deleting from one and adding it with the other
Open up Sense and Base in different windows.
Put in the boot.img from Base into Sense (make sure you put the original boot.img in some other place that you'll remember)
go into /system/usr on both
replace keylayouts and keychars from Base into Sense (this is just your keys)
download dsixda's kitchen (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=633246)
Get the ROM you have so far set up in it and what not (I'm a little fuzzy at this part)
Once you get done with that, run the menu in terminal and navigate your way to decompile the boot.img (action key- "a") and then run the same thing except run the action key "w" to decompile the original boot.img. So the key here is to decompile both boot.img's.
Go into the ramdisk on both and go into init.rc
THE MOST IMPORTANT PART IN THIS (THE MATTER OF BOOT AND BOOTLOOP) IS THE LINE
"export BOOTCLASSPATH" near the top. It will have a bunch of lines after it. Now in the Base's boot.img, delete this whole line. Replace it with the lines from Sense's boot.img.
Now you can add anything else you want that looks like it belongs (preferably anything sense related)
Don't recompile the boot.img yet.
Now we add a2sd. To do this, just follow this guide (https://www.facebook.com/note.php?note_id=158823170833688)
The only thing you do in there is the edits to the init.rc, don't listen to the decompiling/recompiling mentions. Now you can go back into the menu for the kitchen and recompile the boot.img (action key - "b"). Now don't compile the WHOLE ROM, just take the new boot.img in working_** and put it into the Sense zip.
Now you're going to want to download my ROM (sorry, just don't feel like uploading each individual file) http://gannon5197.blogspot.nl/2012/03/got-sense-booted.html
And go into the /system/bin on both
these are the files you're going to need: a2sd, bash, apps2sd.hlp, busybox.a2sd, chka2sd, jita2sd, launcha2sd, starta2sd, and maybe possibly sh (try once without it)
And you're going to want to set permissions for each one of these in the updater-script (look at mine for references)
Now also look at my zip and you'll see move_cache_sd. Put that in yours and set permissions for it in updater-script (use mine for references)
After that, the other stuff is mainly just getting rid of all the bloatware, (look in /system/app and /system/media) I wouldn't delete any libs as of right now. If you try to flash it and it reboots recovery then it is too big.
If it is too big, you're probably going to want to move a lot of the apps to data. To do this, just make a file called data/app/put_your_apps_here on the root of the zip. You're going to have to set permissions for it in the updater-script, but use the test.zip I sent you in the original.
This will most likely get you booted. Nothing will likely work. Which is expected. If you have any problems, just use logcat. It will be your bestfriend. Have fun porting

great guide, gonna try out soon
hmm this one's new for me. saved
should come in handy sometimes
someone has to do this for the Galaxy S2.
Will it also work for ICS ROMs?
I must do this. Anybody know where I can get the firmware for the One S?
Can i use a Gingerbread ROM as a base instead of cm7?
Hello for lg p500 there is 2 sense rom but data and mic not working in both rom can you help to solving that problems????btw great tutorial.
in fact sensse porting is differnet from the tutorial showed it is a little bit more difficult and there are some libs needed that there is only for the devices you are porting to. so a general tread will not really work

Well you ported a htc sense One x rom to the Nexus S, so can you show us how you did it?
