xROM Android Port for the Vogue.

This is a port of JACxROM from the dream/g1. It's based on the stable android 1.5/cupcake AOSP from the master branch and 1.5r4 now includes some donut code as well. All resolutions should work with this build. It includes some htc frameworks and apps as well as the htc keyboard. Java is included in this build as well as exchange work email. It has a nice hero like theme done by manup. There are several hero like widgets included such as a flip style weather clock and several toggle switches. I've also included Loccy's Better Browser which is an enhanced version of the standard opensource android browser.The origional JACxROM1.X can be found in the dream forums.
JACxROM1.4r3 Vogue/Kaiser
Download: xROM1.4r3 from vogue-android
This is the android 1.5 AOSP version with the hero themed launcher. Use it with the standard basefiles package at vogue-android.
JACxROM1.5r4c Beta for Vogue/Kaiser:
Download: xROM 1.5r4c bundle. from vogue-hero experimental page. You must use the latest basefiles. I've included Java in this build and the Biz Card Reader from hero. It also includes all the other htc apps in the last xROM including the htc music app. It's using Loccy's Better Browser with double tap zoom and Stericson's lock screen. It also has the Meltus v7 audio hack and the standard pre like xROM Advanced launcher which is themed by overground and maintained by irrenhaus and ported from rogro82's original Launcher.apk.
All credits for the original xROM go to just another crowd(jac), manup456, cyanogen, loccy, overground, irrenhaus and rogo82 from the dream forums.

Good job, Zanulator. It's a very nice theme! But I found one problem on the polaris: The headset icon is always displayed, but I never connected the headphone to the phone (it doesn't work yet on the polaris). Do you know how to solve this?
Thanks!!

The headphone icon is just there. It's not a bug it's an unusable feature .

Very nice - works well. Great idea splitting the threads for the diff builds.

I use xROM more than hero now. Until the next hero update comes or someone puts out a better themed cupcake/ion/donut I'll be using this.

Yea xROM2 was really JACxROM1.3 it was just the second version that I ported to the vogue thats the reason I called it xROM2. They updated to JACMANxROM1.4r3 so I just used the regular version numbers for this one to avoid confusion in the future.

Should it work on the Kaiser?
Because I can't get Wi-Fi nor the modem to connect, could you possibly put this system.img in a bundle with the other files you think should work best? I love the responsiveness of it otherwise, seems much faster and less crash prone than the hero builds.

I didn't add the wifi pieces in this build. I'll post one later on in a bundle.

Dude just installed, everything is awsome, except my lock screen is mirrored lol, I dunno how that happened, but it is like looking throught a piece of glass and everything is backward.
Everything else looks amazing though, thank you.

did you use a fresh data.img? i accidentally booted xrom with the data.img from cyanogenmod and everything was weird kinda cool but not quite right.

New XRom is great thanks Zenulator, only thing is that that weird headphone icon is in the taskbar, lol, i know that wasnt in the last XRom release so i'm guessing you somehow fixed it before?

this is a great build man, no crashes so far. zen, is there any way to make the "in call" volume louder when on a phone call? that's the only real annoying thing about our android builds. im shocked no one has fixed this or attempted to hack the audiopara. the rest of my volumes are very loud.

Hey zenulator, great work as always. A couple of things.
1. I know your stance on the camera program and it not working in your builds. However, for a daily use build, I think it is essential. I know that fxcamera works, but a) it takes two clicks to get to the camera, and b) the resolution is not that great. mssmison had the regular camera working in his hero themed ion, which seems very similar to this build in a lot of ways, I don't know if it would be compatible. I did try bringing the camera app over from one of the other builds, but I could not install it on this rom (and yes, I have "unknown sources" checked under applications).
2. no album - also essential, and yes we can get an album program from other places, but I think having all the basics on board on a daily use build like this should be standard.
Thanks again zen.

what do you mean by album? i can see all of my photos on my sd card? for the camera use pro paint camera, works great!
i figured this was a themed cupcake build and not a true hero rom.

is it true that using android the way we do will eventually ruin our sd cards? i could of swore i read that somewhere before? if it's true i probably won't use it much as i have alot of other important info on my card.

yes, themed cupcake build. yes, you can see all pics on your sd card, just need an album program (most builds there is one installed by default name Album or Gallery).

Anyone else with this issue?
Edit: I did start with a fresh data file.

Music player 3.0 (official Google)

here it is:
http://techfrom10.com/2011/04/the-android-test-market/
works like a charm on Cyanogenmod 7 RC4, even lockscreen commands, replaced old music.apk with new one in system/app (s-off or via adb)
enjoy!
cheers

I agree it works great - a big improvement from the previous leak.

Larger than Winamp (7MB as opposed to 3MB once installed)

How did you get the lockscreen commands working? I had nothing. I'd maybe use it then as it does look nice, but Winamp has a better widget, plus lock screen.

It is force closing on my desire using gingervillian... any ideas?
it is working on my Viewpad 10s not optimal but useble..

Mine keeps saying "application not installed". I'm using oxygen 2.0.3. Any ideas?

I cant get it to install. I says application not installed everytime. I read somewhere that i has to do with the fact that i installed the older leaked version. How do i remove the old version completely?

Yes. That would be nice.

Not good... tried a few things.. looks ok .. uninstalled

buggy on oxygen 2.0.3
I really liked the interface though it is quite minimal so it's a shame that:
interface is slow to load and lags (not just on first load)
scrobbling gets very confused (last.fm doesn't know what to do and flashes scrobbling notification repeatedly).
uninstalled.
edit
downloaded a different version from some forum after reading an article about syncing music with latest music app. seemed to work very smoothly indeed.

I installed the one from here: Official Android Music 3.0 Beta! Get It Now!.
It works fine with the MIUI 1.4.8. But I'm missing some features like sleep timer, editing ID3-Tags. But I like the interface.

Is there a way of making this the default music app and having it work with the HTC Lockscreen? I Like it other than that.

I don't like it at all. It looks quite cheap compared to the older version... and compared to other players, including the stock HTC music player. Also, why so laggy?

thanks for this...

gooooooooood

Netflix

Now that the netflix app is officially out for android (but only for supported phones), is there any way to make it work on the Shift before it's officially a supported device?

Using the attached apk, which is the market release, I can log in and view my queue. I haven't gotten a video to work yet, but I'm in the process of checking.
tldr;
App works on Evo Shift, so far. I am on CM 7.3.1 running ScaryKernel 1.8.
Edit:
Unfortunately, I cannot get a movie to play. I can choose a movie and it goes to the red loading screen but the movie will not start. Loads to black screen with a second of noise then crashes back to the Netflix app home screen.
There is the possibility that my data connection is at fault. I have no wifi connection where I am and my 3G speeds are lackluster here in mid-Michigan. I will try more later when I have a steadier connection.

Ok. The apk I had found wouldn't load, thought it was an issue with compatibility. But it looks like it'll work with the version you posted, thanks.
It doesn't quite seem to work to play videos. I can hear sound, but no video. I tried it on 3G and on the WiFi here at work (26 down).

Same issue here on 4g, 3g, and wifi. It seems to do everything except streaming. The video and audio begin to load and then crashes.

What ROM are you using?
I'm using CM7 and it doesn't work and I have flash 10.3
Just get audio, no video and quits out after ten seconds

Mind posting your methods for getting the app to work?

http://techland.time.com/2011/05/13/netflix-for-android-workaround/
1) Download ES File Explorer (Or any other root file editor) *** I used File Manager in Cyanogen Mod because ES File Explorer would not work
2) In ES File Explorer, go into Setting > Root Settings and enable both check boxes
3) Navigate to /system/ and copy/paste build.prop to /sdcard/ (just in case)
4) Open & edit /system/build.prop
5) Change the following lines to make your phone think it is an HTC G2:
--ro.product.model=HTC Vision
--ro.product.manufacturer=HTC
OR
--ro.product.model=Nexus S
--ro.product.manufacturer=samsung
6) Reboot the phone
7) Install the netflix apk (if you haven't already)
Enjoy

Enjoy Friends!!!

Anyone confirm this working? Does it affect anything else?

I can't get it to work. Every time I try to change the build.prop and then reboot, it reverts back to the original file. I got it to catch using ES, but it still doesn't work. I try playing, and it does the same thing as before. Sound (shaky), no video.

I did the mod to build.prop above (just the HTC Vision one since the other was already there) and checked that the flash was updated to newest version of 10.3.
It worked fine for me so long as I did not use the Resume on the first page after login and didn't try to skip to far forward during playback (just skip a little at a time or let it play through).
I used it on wifi in my house to play Ron White - They Call Me Tater Salad all the way through (a little under an hour) and played another while on 4G and had no issues other than those above. 3G seems worthless (maybe if you get a really good connection)...my usual connection is sloowww.
Overall - great video and sound...probably even better with a headset...
Edit: Evo(Shift)Nonsense 1.0 rom and no special kernel, just one with Nonsense rom. That being said, I can't address any failures in other roms because I don't know why mine works and others don't...
Also, I included my build.prop (editted with Notepad++ and named buildnf.prop) in the attached zip file...
PS - I have two versions of the build.prop file in my system folder, the original and the modified version and just renaming them back and forth seemed to work even without rebooting. Also, so far I haven't noticed any drawbacks to just leaving modded version in effect.

Could you be more specific about your Rom and Kernel and possibly upload your build.prop that works? Thanks.
I've tried editing my build.prop in every way possible that has been said to work and I cannot get anything to play for more than a second.
The video is loading, begins to play for a second, audio only, then crashes back to the Netflix home screen.

Sorry, meant to include this info in original post (I'll edit it too):
Evo(Shift)Nonsense 1.0 rom
no special kernel, just one with Nonsense rom.

Its not broken, if you are on a gingerbread rom then that isnt supported by the netflix app on evos.. So u have to use the workaround, the supported devices list shows the requirements

Havent got it working on my epic but since the nexus s requires 2.3 I'm resigned to thinking i won't have it till gingerbread.

I can confirm that it for sure works on the Nonsense ROM as stated by hdmunger.
I also used the mediaclient-1.apk found in this thread.
I also edited the prop build to HTC Vision

Virtuous Quattro RC2 - Capacitive Buttons

Since I'm still too n00b to post in the Dev Forum I'll post this here.
I just installed this awesome ROM and it all woks pretty fine... except for the bugs everybody has already mentioned in some topic or another.
About the bug regarding the capacitive buttons (the little Home/Menu/Back/Search) non correctly lighting up I found out a peculiar thing not mentioned by anyone else (afaik).
Maybe it could be useful, maybe not.
Anyway... in my phone (DHD ex-Cyanogenmod7, s-off, wiped) they are consistently turned off except when I open an ebook with Aldiko.
It always happens, and they stay ON untill I leave the ebook's pages.
It happens with both pdfs and epubs.
It only happens with Aldiko ... both Kindle and MoonReader failed to show the same glitch.
Just wanted to let people know u_u

its look like kernel problem try diffrent rom on ur phone.

Maybe I will ... this ROM is still too raw (performance-wise) for me right now.
Browser navigation is quite slow and the overall phone is not very snappy (compared to CM7).
But my post was intended as a little help for the Dev Team ... maybe noticing this Aldiko glitch may help them understand where to put theor hands on the kernel.
Or maybe not XD

Umm use a different reader .if the lights stay on maybe a kernel issue just flash lords kernel from the dev section .failing that man use a devs Cyranogen infused rom

Forgot to ask what rom r u running

I used to run CM7.
With that rom the buttons were always ON, as they were meant to.
I usually use the Kindle app and it did nothing strange.
Then I installed (and am currently using) Virtuous Quattro RC2.
With this the buttons are always OFF, which is a bug.
Searching the forums I found out that this is a more or less common bug, and there is no fix for it right now.
But then I read an article about how awesome this Aldiko app is, and decided to try it along with MoonReader and a few others.
Doing this I accidentally discovered that Aldiko somehow "fixes" the button's bug.
Searching the forums it appears no-one else reported this thing to the Virtuous devs.
So I thought: if Aldiko "does something" that fixes the bug, maybe telling the Devs may help them look in the right place and find a solution or a workaround.
That is all

Also running that rom...after trying several. This seems to be the least buggy of all of...I have tried several. The 1beta4 (LC) was the quickest/smoothest. but I had numerous small but annoying issues and loaded Quattro on 1/23. I have an Inspire. I also loaded the Quattro wifi fix and had to load Lordmod for the sound to work..appears to be an issue with Inspire and ICS. Anyway, long story longer...I am also an Aldiko fan/user and don't have any issues with the buttons at all...maybe the difference in phone...or the 2 additional zips made it a non issue?

I'm now running RC3.
Wifi problem is solved.
Capacitive button problem is solved.
General lagginess appears to be solved.
Battery life seems better too.
Strange enough, there is no way to remove the 3g toggle from the task bar

I have been running RC3 on my HTC Incredible S for the past few weeks and I never had any problem with the capacitive buttons until recently they stopped glowing and as you mentioned earlier they start working when I open Aldiko app. I read that the problem got solved for the RC3 then why am I having these issues?

Oreo and Android Auto

Anyone using Android Auto with the Oreo ROM? Wondering if there are any issues or if Waze and Dialer will work properly now?
Rebranded to L29-C432 so might as well give a few more things a try, but the fRomFuture ROM I'm using is pretty stable so want to check before I jump to another...

I'm currently using it, the dialer issue is still there (I am using the modded Google dialer from Martin.077 to solve that problem).
Waze behaves the same for me as before - works fine for about a month, sometimes longer, and then one day just black screens and then the only fix is to re-install Android Auto.
I now also have a new problem with Google Play Music with the Oreo update - it does not output any sound when connected via Android Auto. Navigation prompts still work though.
The fix is to use an equalizer app - no idea why it works, but it does, I'm using Equalizer FX.
So yeah, no issues solved, and one additional one added in my case.
