currently running the latest nightly and am interested in getting the htc camera app to run.
(please dont respond with, if you want sense, go with sense)
i understand to get sprint VVM to work some libs had to be brought over, like to get htc_ime to work you had to bring the clicker over. i figure it might be something along the same lines...help?
also i thot i read that cm 6.1 will have slide to dismiss in the notibar. im running the latest nightly and dont see that as an option...is this to be included in the rc's, or maybe even further down the road?
tia!
slide to dismiss works on my nightly and has been for over a week now. with the htc camera question, you answered it yourself. sprint vvm has nothing to do with sense which is why it's able to be moved over. htc didn't create that app. any htc stuff (including the camera) can't be moved to a non sense rom. if you don't want to hear "use a sense" rom then don't ask about using sense parts.

Well I moved to the epic anyhow, so htc is no longeron my list of priorities. But I stand by what I said...if the htc_ime could be ported over to cm6, why couldn't the camera? The htc_ime has been working on cm since the hero, all it took was a little modding and a lib or two.
Thanks for doing everything I asked not too, at any rate.
Hw kb samoled ftw!!!
Why are you even in this board if you don't have the phone anymore go back to your overly blue tinted samoled and post in your phones respective forum for help.
As for Sprints VMM app no libs had to be copied over idk where you got that from same goes for HTC_IME no libs needed there either clicker is the calibration app that goes hand in hand with HTC_IME.

Just FYI, on some of the EVOs (mine is one of them) the display has a nasty blue-red (purple) tint.

Yeah I know about the Epson panels and I've seen them in person but the Galaxy S lines are way over cool on the color temperature my friends Vibrant is nice and all but the screen is just too blue tinted for my liking.
Btw... cm6 camera app is 100% better than sense.

Hello xda,
Im currently using the rom on my signature which runs close to perfect. But I want to know why and how can I fix the ugly pixelated graphics and widgets in the rom. Is not a specific rom issue since all NAND roms i've tried have that problem. Back in SD this issue was fixed and graphics looked perfect. How can I achieve that sharp and nice look?
Thank you all, this community is amazing.

do you have a screenshot at all to show us? Maybe a photo of the screen from another camera if that is easier?
Here's a screenshot with music and calendar widget.
Notice the ugly pixels and blocky look.
Edit. Actually don't know why drocap won't show it. But all of you who have nand open those widgets and you'll see what i mean
sorry dude... it looks normal... and looks totally fine on mine, I have a Telstra HD2 (512ROM) tried the CM and Desire and MIUI based ones, they all work great on mine, no odd looking pixels

Maybe that issue caused by image compression ... I think.
The rendering of widgets can be affected heavily by the launcher. I've heard suggestion that Launcher Pro will get rid of that problem. Worth a try since you just uninstall it if it doesn't fix it.
If it is down to the launcher, there's not going to be any fix for you, other than hope that there's an update to the launcher you use, that addresses the issue.
Thank you all for your answers. Will try another launcher and see.
I installed launcher pro (free) and tried it in the beginning with MDJ 2.6 G-bread nand version... I noticed pixelated widgets but kind of did not care. I also installed bunch of things after 1st boot and started using the phone. Among other apps it was ADWlauncher EX which I paid... I rebooted after that once for different reason and once it booted up again I literally noticed huge bump in how smooth and fluid motion was with this launcher - pixelation was also gone and I do not know whether it was launcher that made it that way - but I definitely love it
I know what he is talking about. I try to avoid widgets with that ugly looking thing. Which is why I'm currently using transparent widgets.
These screenshots have been taken with this app called "shoot me" As you can seen, they look perfectly fine
But, now look at these pictures taken with my digital camera

Looking at the pics you posted I believe this is the banding problem alot have referred too caused by the 65k limitation on the screen.. Yes it is capable of 262k but the devs haven't figured out how to unlock it yet.. Winmo say it's a software limitation.. Hope this is a lil explanation.. The reason your screen shot doesn't show it, is cause android itself isn't limited to 65k colors only the screen is (currently)..

Hi, can you update us on whether this has worked for you?
I'm facing this problem too, and I'm still keeping the power control widget even though the pixelated one looks very ugly..
What do you want to see or not see in RoyalGinger V1.5?
Like I said in the actual RoyalGinger thread on the Development page we wanted to pull the community and see what you guys like and dont like and what you want to see and what you dont want to see. I know at least for me I might try other Roms especially for testing but I always come back to RoyalGinger, This little red head has in my opinion everything a Rom needs and everything a Rom user wants. So just to make it more of the Peoples Rom we wanted to see what you guys like and what you guys dont like.
So please keep it short and simple if you want to see a specific thing like a Theme or a Mod please include the link to the thread.
It will help us find what we are looking for and get to making your wishes happen. If you want something just let us know we will honestly try our hardest to meet every wish of the community for V1.5. If we dont get your idea into 1.5 I will let you know and let you know if it is possible and if it will be coming on a later release.
Thank You all for your support.

Do you mean the stock clock that flips with the Weather? if so I cant include the one made by HTC cause that is a Sense Only item and it is not Open Source, But I am pretty sure I can accommodate your request with something. So great suggestion it will be in the next release.

Yes, it is that one. No wonder the question has been asked a few times on the net (when I Googled) and no one seems to know.
Ok, no problem. There are a few other apps out there that are similar. But not quite. Thanks though.
Top request if at all possible would be the original camera. Picture quality is better and speed is wayyyy faster.
DSP Manager
Car Dock (even though it’s available as apks)
Genius Button (I personally like it)
Ability to mute camera sound

Personally, I like this Rom as is... Though I moved on to using Royal Mint as my daily just because of the sense look... Love the work TeamRoyal... I have the zip, and a backup with all my most used apps for EVERY Rom I have ran across with the TeamRoyal name on it...

1. Ability to receive MMS view like on stock froyo.
I hit download, and it rarely works. Stock it normally already has picture showing, instead of hitting download.
2. A big pickup, although i don't think it is possible, would be to add date along with clock in status bar.
3. Calendar similar to stock calendar, which is default month view.
4. I love the themes with battery display % options.
BTW, you guys are most excellent!
royalknight, hope you gets to feeling better, brohim....
all in all, fantastic rom, but.... (and since you're asking), this is what i would like added:
(1) stock mt4g calendar (pink in color i believe) because there's more options than the one included with RG (ie. ability to have agenda view when executed). if it's tied to sense and can't be ported to RG, then no worries.
(2) use of the genius button with dragon dictation (already mentioned). i'm not sure if i'm the minority here, but i used that app a lot.
(3) desk dock/car dock (already mentioned).
(4) stock camera (already mentioned).
not sure if there's anything else that this rom needs as i'm sure the more you add, the better chance it will become slower...
The problem with the "stock" apps you are all referring to from the original rom, is that they require sense frameworks to function. Unless HTC open sources sense, we may never be able to make it happen. (doesn't mean we can't try )
I think this should stay as close to stock Google as possible.
By trying to add in all this sense stuff... why don't you guys just use a sense rom and install the gingerbread launcher. That's basically what you want this rom to be.
I enjoy this rom because of how minimal it is. Please keep sense junk out.

People's request in AOSP roms are always sense related add on's. Launcher pro has some good alternatives for sense widgets and so forth. But I agree, keep this rom bare and clean in AOSP standards. Although I would like it if you guys added Torch app back on
And I do have a question, I love the rover theme included, but I feel like that actual battery percentage decreases my battery life by a lot everytime I use that theme. Any way you can take out that battery percentage out in the middle of that circle?

The battery life decreases due to the broadcast message required every time it changes a percentage and has to call a new image to be displayed.

man bummer... i love that theme but thats a killer for me. anyway you knwo how to take it out?
A completely blacked out (inverted them would be really nice) Kind of like the the terminal settigns, but with maybe more feel and texture than those. I do a lot of night use, that would be good. I like the terminal ones, but some things completely get lost in the transition. Now I am asking for too much!
This rom is so customizable, and now that I have a clean install, the fc have for the most part disappeared, and I have not even thought about flashing stock, like I normally did.

10-4, just wasn't sure how feasible it was... it's not a deal breaker if none of those happen, but he asked... have a good one, option...
thought the stock camera was a part of the sense framework as well, could be wrong.
My main request is to have a ROM specific theme. I switch ROMs a lot and after flashing lots of ROMs now on different phones (I'm the go-to guy at work now), I like the aesthetic touches a lot of devs put on their ROMs. You guys are adding more and more tweaks in this regard, so I doubt this even needs to be a request, but it's really cool to see those extra touches. After seeing gingerbread on so many different phones now, I've come to learn how unimpressive it is visually. Using the theme engine could then satisfy the themers out there, giving them the option to use what they want, but allow you guys to offer the Royal Theme that makes the ROM your own. I've also seen things like boot animation/fonts/optional app install scripts written into the settings. Things like that offer customization within the ROM and help it to stand out from AOSP GB.
Only one person has requested it, but it seems a bit easy to do (in my dream land, at least). A Sense ROM with no Sense in it (except the camera, the camera is and will always remain awesome). Kinda for those who like the Sense camera, hate Sense, and doesn't wanna flash between AOSP and Sense every time they want to be speedy and take sexy pictures. Would anyone like it?
I would. Mainly using vf for the new sense camera.
And if you could get the hdr and burst feature working, it would be pudding on the cake.
Love aosp but camera is just inferior

Of course people would like it. The problem is, the there's a lot of backbone behind the all those sense apps/widgets that make them work. You would need the entire sense framework just to have that spiffy camera, and that means you'd have a sense ROM. It's not simply a matter of copying the camera.apk from one to the other.

That, I know already, but lots of people don't want to go around repeatedly changing their ROM, or deleting all the things for them. This would just be like a light Sense.

My contention is that "light Sense" (as you call it) doesn't really exist, it's just Sense. Even if you didn't include any other apps/widgets that require it, you still have the entire Sense framework under the hood. That's like swapping out the entire engine just so you can mod the headlights. There's no way to do that without altering the behavior of the entire car.
Granted, I don't have the same depth of understanding as ROM builders, but this is the impression I get about it.
I would like to openly discuss the possibility of a Landscape Sense Rom.
When I am at work, or in my car, I always have the phone sideways either using the kickstand or in a pocket in my dash. This layout just seems more natural to me as the keyboard is bigger in this orientation. I would rather scroll up-and-down to read emails/txt/anything than sliding left-to-right and then sliding down to get more info.
I wonder if it would be possible to port the EVO Shift or Merge to the EVO and hard code the Rom to think that the keyboard is out. If I remember correctly, when I played with the Shift, the Sense home screen would switch to LS when the board was out.
We all know that there is, buried deep down in the files, an LS options in Sense. We've all seen the occasional "glitch" when exiting an app and Sense displays in LS for a second or 2.
If I had the skills, I would take this on in a heart beat. Unfortunately I do not.
As I said, I would like to start an open discussion on the subject. Thanks for your time.
Landscape sense? Do you mean Landscape Rosie because plenty of roms already support this or this can also done with Launcher Pro.
I forgot its Rosie. LauncherPro does do landscape, that's correct. But I haven't seen the ability to run Rosie/Sense Widgets in LauncherPro.
AOSP/plain Jane Android is nice, but it is nothing like HTC's package.
And while HTC continues to update that package, I believe they are missing a key option.
Have you checked out the Flyer port? Landscape, and consistently updated
I am actively following that topic, but am wondering why it is taking a tablet rom to get this accomplished.
I can't wait for Plattypus to get that working.
But one option doesn't really cut it. I see a ton of Sense/Rosie roms that are needing to be resized to fit the res of the EVO, and not one trying to take advantage of our HTC cousin slider phones.
Check out mikg 2.5 rom does landscape, and superfast cant go wrong. Its solid, stable, and in my eyes the best

I came from original galaxy s to my inspire and have always thought the display was horrible??
Sent from my Inspire 4G using xda premium
Well Yes and No.
hardware wise
The screen is just plain LCD(or Slcd ) and will never be as vibrant as galaxy s2' S Amoled screen which is able to produce deep blacks and deeper colours.
BUT
Software wise: sense has this "glossy" theme which can be arguably clunky and ugly at times. The s2 A's software interface is more streamlined and less cluttered, which probably is more pleasing to the eye.
You can have a similar UI to the samsung S2 by downloading AOSp roms like CM7 OR MIUI.IMO this makes the screen seem "less cloudy" . Check it out at the development section?

try reducing your screen dpi if its supported by your rom. Its somehow a new handset experience...
To the Amoled Screens: my brother has the galaxy s and a friend the s2...both screens i find ether blueish or greenish. which they told me came with time.
