What I'd like to see a dev do is take the android source and one of the kernels (ScaryKernel stable preferably) and develop a ROM from the ground up.
Call waiting does not work properly in CM7 or another AOSP based ROM I tried.
GPS has problems fixing in that ROM as well. I believe Sense based ROM users don't have this problem.
What would be really cool is having a nice 2.3.5 ROM with ScaryStable kernel, Android 2.3.5, some, not all of the tweaks from CM7, apps included that are actually useful such as antutu benchmark, kernel manager, rom manager, super user, terminal emulator, speedtest.net, wifi analyzer, gps status, fasterfix stuff like that, HTC GPS drivers, and being able to update profile, and prl and being able to get to the ##code# menus from the dialer (basically need the HTC dialer for this I'm guessing which would also fix call waiting). That would be like the ultimate ROM in my opinion.
Thoughts? And yes, I'm actually thinking about taking this on as my own project if I have to even though I can't program to save my life.
What's a matter with call waiting on ASOP? I've never noticed anything messed up or anything different.....I have predominatly have had cm7 but also ran shiftdeck for awhile and call waiting has worked fine I believe....
I have read others having problems getting gps to get a fix but have never experienced the problem myself.....I know the solution has been to flash sense get a lock n then flash asop and from what I read gps is fixed after that....

Tap manage calls in CM7, tell me what happens.
As for GPS, I found a combination of resetting the GPS and downloading GPS assistance data with GPS status, and using faster fix and setting the proper ntp server while having wireless assistance on helps for a while. I'm still investigating exactly what needs to be done for GPS to to work properly.
I can honestly say I have never had a single problem with GPS on any cyanogen build but i never shut my GPS off I don't even know why It's on maybe for the weather so maybe that info could help someone maybe get a lock right before flashing and leaving GPS on might work but AOSP is fast has no bloat and is very customizable but I am a Sense guy so:
I think a Rom I would be 100% happy with as an all time Rom for right now it would have to be a Sense 3.0 Rom because I absolutely love it, with the HDR and panorama effects added to the camera, overclocked to 1.2 Ghz with a very light theme maybe like Rosie, status bar with no clock and notification area to be semi-trans black with white font a themed HTC_IME and dialer and a custom Glock LockRing that's all

The real question is how does your GPS work with wireless assistance turned off?
And Sense 3.0 is beautiful (mainly talking about the weather themed lock screen with the shortcuts) but I hate the way Sense 2 and 3 manage contacts and it's way too facebook integrated in general which is annoying.

I have to disagree. I love sense bc it has Facebook integration. I like how I set my contacts to their respective profile on my touch pro 2 with wm 6.5 synced with Google and never had to worry about it again. It puts a pic to your contacts and gives u a bday entry which is nice imo.
Now my gps sucks, I have to wait 5-10 mins to get a lock outside or in the car. And sense 2.3 doesn't have kernel source so its limited to the stock kernel.
My dream Rom is MikG, with x99 kernel. I used to love that kernel on 2.2

My dream Rom would be MikG With x99 or V8 kernel, AND Firerats due to that sucker helps save a lot of space.
My "dream" ROM on the Shift would have to be full blown Sense 3.0 with it running perfectly smooth WITHOUT overclocking. I would want the kernel for sbc and UV. And I would want google + integration added along with FB and twitter.

To start out, it would look a LOT like CM7. Same launcher, same extras. NO Sense UI.
(for the record, I know that most of this is available, it just means installing a number of extra packages)
Add in all the google
T9 predictive input for the dialer
A nicer looking messaging app that doesn't fail every time you try to send a text longer than 1 message.
A few of the nice sound options from Sense UI, including having the ringer volume automatically reduce when the phone is picked up, automatically switching to speakerphone when you set the phone face-down during a call, and double-tapping the home key to see all your launcher pages at once.

1. Gmail, Voice, Talk, Maps, Latitude (yes, I know it's bad for battery AND privacy, but it's fun and I don't plan on committing crimes, cheating on my wife, lieing to my boss or ever being worth enough money to kidnap; so I don't care if people know where I am.), Navigation, and of course, Market.
2. I haven't made any changes to the built in messaging app of any kind, but I'm also running the latest nightly. Doesn't matter too much, since I've installed GoSMSpro.
3. Yes, I'm well aware that many of those features kill the battery. That's why I like CM7, and only want a small handful of the highly useful features from Sense.
well no matter which rom i try, i always end up installing launcher 7, so to have that already integrated would be nice for the drawer, and a rom that lets you use the volume bottoms to skip tracks in your music player ,

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?

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.

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.

i was running desire hd 3.4 for the last couple of days but today i decided to switch to froyo sense 2.4.2 because the camera is working on that build.
now i would like to know if it's possible to get a updated sense on that build. there are some nice features missing. like the preview of themes, a lot of themes, background pictures and especially some nice widgets and the feature to see all htc wigets in one place.
especially i am looking for the data-connection and settings widget which comes in bar-style (setting, wifi, mobile-data, sync, bt, etc.). is it possible to get it somewhere? it was pretty convenient compared to the single button widgets i found on the market.
thx a lot!
u cant. HTC sense is complicated. u either have it or u dont. at least for now...
that's sad. does anybody have a suggestion for a bar-like-settings-widget. sorry for my english.
I know what you are talking about. There are a few out there. Try "extended controls" in the market. It's also built into CM 6.

Have you tried the "Power control" widget? I do use LauncherPro, but I don't think it's specific to that.
Go to the market and search for "SwitchPro". It's awesome, and you can customise the appearance, actions, and number of buttons. Easily better than the power widget included with froyo.
Hi,
first of all, sorry for my bad english, it's not my native language
On to my problem:
I'm using RaduGs Tasty Ginger 2.0 and managed to install live wallpaper support.
I installed different wallpapers but when selecting one, they don't give a preview. When choosing one, there's only a black background on my homescreen.
When going back to wallpaper selection, choosing one and then FIRST hit settings, then just go back, i do get a preview!
When i now try to set this wallpaper as the standard one, i'm back on a black homescreen.
This happens with all ROMs i recently installed (radug, elelinux, cronos), but only with lw using opengl.
i tried for example "multipicture live wallpaper" or "Maps Live Wallpaper", they do work.
When choosing "Wave Live Wallpaper" or "Original Flurry Live Wallpaper", they don't work, only as described above.
Is there a workaround?
greets

The Hero doesn't have 3D support so a lot of the live wallpapers you find on the market won't work on it and will result in a black homescreen. And I believe most ROMs use old OpenGL libraries.
To be honest it's not worth installing them anyway, they are very slow on the Hero, and even if they run smooth it brings the rest of the phone to a halt. Not to mention the battery drain.

I know, but the mentioned Wallpaper do work, but only after hitting settings an just press the back-button. only when applied as wallpaper, there's a black homescreen.
If i'm not completely wrong, RaduG uses v1.1 of opengl, so it's up to date, isn't it?

Mail will light the SEARCH botton
MISSED CALL will light both BACK & HOME bottons

Well, I'm using this kernel and it seems to be causing issues where the capacitive buttons are unresponsive on screen unlock. I think morfic is trying to fix this. I seem to have stumbled across a work around that I can't post on the developer thread(being "new" and all). Don't know whether anyone else has mentioned it.
If I leave the BLN test notification in my notification bar alone. Then the issue doesn't crop up any more and my buttons and BLN feature work fine.
Sorry, scratch that. That was a bit premature. The issue is back when I leave a notification unattended and lock my screen. My bad.
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App
sadly not for all nexus s user
I've found a bug with the kernel where if on keylock you touch the shortcut buttons. Once you do that they light up and it doesn't fade away, only happens when I take it out my pocket. Also sometimes the buttons when unlock done illuminate and aren't clickable resulting in a restart.
Has anyone else seen this? If not it might be down to my set up.
Same problems here. You might want to try morfics s10 BLN v3 test kernel.
Sent from my Nexus S using Tapatalk
BLN is very buggy. when charging the phone and getting a notification it will cause the phone to freeze or reboot. Also when getting a notification and unlocking the phone the cap buttons will not always light. Locking and unlocking the phone will fix this problem but not always.
Even after uninstalling BLN, the cap button weirdeness persists. Only way to fix it is to restore from a backup or install a new ROM. I'm using CM7 11 w/ honity12 at stock speeds.
When BLN works its awesome. Hopefully they can fix these problems before I install it again.

Actually, what you need to do is use another kernel (which coincidentally happens when you restore a backup or install another ROM).

You can only have one kernel at a time.
It's a pity it only works with some ROMs, I like to cook my own ones making them as tiny as possible, removing unused apps and changing ringtones and notification sound for my own ones
As long as you're basing your cooked ROM on a ROM that has a BLN-enabled kernel, you can use that kernel.
For example, if your ROM is basically a CM7 with some modifications, you can use any CM7-compatible kernel and it should work.

Problem is the ROM I like to use is a very stock one with some modifications done with dsixda's kitchen.

Ok, so I got my 4.3 and Sense 5.5 update and, altough there a re a lot of improvements, I'm more pissed off because of some stuff they removed or... ahem... added...
- Why did they remove the lock screens? I know the lock screen widgets are accessible through a right to left swipe in the lock screen, but why remove them altogether? For example, I just want to be able to have a different wallpaper for my lock screen than my home screen...
- Why did they remove the old video highlights themes?I very much welcome the added new settings and permissions for the highlights... Honestly, they're a very big deal. But, for the love of God, why remove the old themes? My favorite (and judging from what I've seen on the internet - youtube, Facebook or HTC Share - "Islandia" is gone... Why?
- Why is the NFC logo pinned in the status bar? Why do I have to see that? I have NFC turned on all the time... :
These are the few things that got me upset about the new Sense 5.5 update. I know that the update has a lot of good new features (and I welcome them all)... But why remove other good features that have been on Sense since I can remember?
Are there other features that have been removed/altered in a bad way?
Please share...
And an UPDATE: I know that they've added a s*it load of new emoticons in the stock SMS app, BUT they made it so that the we cannot see the old ones.
For example, when someone sends me an SMS with an emoticon from HTC One X with Sense 5.0, I just see it as text and they cannot see the new emoticons that I send them... Great thinking HTC (_|_)
Yes. Why the he'll did they removed the medialink hd api?
No more movies on the tv and browsing on the phone at the same time. Really makes the hd medialink useless.
I wonder how long HTC will take to actually understand how things work.
They removed all weather animations in sense 5. And what they provided in that version is now removed in the latest version.
Are they confused?

You got that working before? For me when I pressed home the clip stopped too. Even on Sense 5. I have not tested on sense 5.5 yet.

Can't get my head around removing the old themes. I suppose now that there's custom music available you can use the old music easily enough I would imagine but you can't get the old visual effects back. I love Islandia.
Ridiculous decision, I only went to 4.2.2 and got the six new themes in July, three months and they've removed them?!

It's indeed annoying. I "fixed" this issues with changing NFC on and off via notification toggles or EQS. Thats not a perfect solution but it just takes 2 sec to de-/activate...

Custom music is cool but try to upload your video and have all these warning about copyrighted music etc.
The new themes aren't good or aren't there any themes anymore?
Also, did I read that now the duration of the clip is changeable or am I wrong?
The duration of the clip is variabile, but cannot exceed 30 seconds. Maybe on HTC One Max you can make videos longer than 30 seconds.

That's because the old emoticons were just three-character strings that the messaging app interpreted as a smiley. For example (-: turned into . This caused tons of problems if you were trying to send a more technical text message with tons of parentheses and colons. Now, in Sense 5.5, the emoticons are standard Unicode emoji glyphs that are supposed to be universally compatible with every phone supporting the updated unicode standard. For example, in Android 4.3 (and probably 4.2.2) emojis are partially-implemented. The latest iPhones have a full implementation, as does Google Hangouts (one of the reasons to be excited about Hangouts SMS integration IMO), and now Sense 5.5 has a full implementation of emojis.
The reason your old phone cannot see your new emoticons is because it's either not running a recent enough version of Android or HTC's software on the One X simply does not render the emojis right. Some messaging apps also can strip excess unicode information -- older phones are notorious for this. A simple fix would be to use an alternative SMS/MMS app on the One X, one that fully supports emoji input such as Sliding Messaging Pro, or Textra (don't know if Textra supports ALL of the emoji glyphs, but it has some functionality).
One more note, CM10.x's MMS app also has support for this built-in, so it isn't just some fad that little girls and iPhone users are aware of, it is legitimately an evolving communication standard.
all what you need to do is wait, wait for viper tweaks.

Oh yes, I want to disable the lock screen appearing everytime I turn off the screen, so annoying
The removal of old video themes may be a deal breaker for me. I love some of them absolutely.

Islandia was one of the only reasons i bought this phone... **** !
please tell me if you find a way to either downgrade or restore the themes
Also really miss the the ability to disable lockscreens natively. This https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.jraf.android.nolock&hl=en is somewhat of a workaround for those of you in the same boat, doesn't always work perfectly but I haven't found a better solution yet.

Yep, will have to wait for ViperOne team to do their magic. I'm sure they'll have an option to disable the lockscreen whilst retaining pin lock

You are right, I was choosing a song that had 26 seconds in my tests and I wasn't paying attention that I cut that song a few months ago to use it as a ringtone. Now I have chosen a song that was 4 minutes and didn't encounter any restrictions.

I don't like new Gallery and Music apps. Before update i can change track with swiping albumcover left or right. With this update i can not.
Did you notice that the zoom bar disappeared from the camera interface?
