Sense ROM control? - myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I tried installing two different romControl.apk files suggested in different forums but neither worked.
I'm new to Sense roms and have a couple of questions (trying blackout ICS v 2.1):
1) is it possible to change the lock screen apps from the settings?
2) Is it possible to turn off the trackpad pointer?
3) Is rom control something that exists for Sense roms, or is it more of an AOKP/AOSP rom thing?
Thanks in advance, I'm quickly getting hooked on the Glacier forums thanks to the great community here.

1. I don't think so, but I haven't run that ROM.
2. If you absolutely must do away with the pointer you could delete the .png from framework-res.apk and recompile it. That is a very fickle apk. It likes to cause bootloops, so be careful.
3. ROMControl is not for Sense.

[IDEA][DEVSWANTED] Custom Aria ROM

Okay, so being a proud Aria owner I like to modify it make it looks as sexy as I can ;D
I've been watching the Inspire 4G forums lately and have been seeing a slew of ROMS pop up. Now, not saying I want a huge amount but maybe an awesome custom one.
That's where my idea comes in. I want to make a Custom ROM based off of SENSE DDX FR008.
Now, I know some of what to do....so I need help.
This will probably be an idea for a long time unless I get some help.
NOW THIS IS AN IDEA. DON'T COME STOMPING ALL ON MY STUFF.
I reside in the freenode IRC chat a lot.
Check my signature for a link.
I'm brswattt. Nice to meet you. Just PM me or talk to me in chat.
Added as of 3/17 :
-GO DEV Launcher, SMS, Contacts, and Weather
-Bootanimation
-removed the Rosie.apk and HTC Sense Widgets
In progress
-Adding Reboot, Recovery, and bootloader power menu.

That is a beauty!
If you can put the cm6 features into it that would be sick. I like cm6 's customization ie. Status bar color options. And also love the transparent pull down from that gingerbread add on. What would you take from the sense rom?
Banging cm7-night's 14
@brswattt, definately worth a custom ROM/Theme. i have been thinking the same thing, maybe some sort of Hybrid based on another phone such as Droid.
tilt4life2 point out a kick-a$$ ROM. love the lockscreen
im slowly learning app creation, and as time allows im looking into system changes. for me i would like a custom ROM which allows the user to re-assign any key function for custom actions(keymapping)... there's probably a program somewhere that does this already
Like THIS one
good luck bro, if i stumble accross any cool things we can add to a custom build i'll keep you in mind.
Thanks for the support guys! I'll look into it when I get home.

The system.img (at least) won't dump with unyaffs. This is usually caused by incorrectly copying it from the partition with dd.

The marvel_dump.zip has the /system image already expanded. The system.img in the original file has a blocksize of 2048, so you have to use a parameter to get unyaffs to extract it.

[ROM] Sense Android 2.3.3 (based on Cyanogenmod)

Hi first I know this is in the wrong place but I have only joined a few months ago so currently can't post in the developer forum so if someone can move this there it would be ace.
All thanks for this rom go to the Cyanogenmod team and the Leaf rom team, this is a sort of combination of the two to get sense and Android 2.3.3
This is the first release so could be a bit buggy, so please either comment on here or message me so these can be fixed! However it is based on two stable roms so shouldn't have too many problems
I am not responsible if you brick your device by flashing this, you flash this at your own risk.
This is signed so you can flash through any custom recovery
Once again big thanks to the Cyanogenmod team as it is mainly based on Cyanogenmod 7.0.3
Enjoy!

That's great! Do you have any screenshots? and perhaps more specs? like CPU Overclock capability's, SuperUser etc...? Does it support fully landscape support, so also the Rosie APK (launcher)? And do you need to flash Google Apps?

Hi sorry screenshots will be up soon and it has all the features of CM 7.03 so if you look on their website it will tell you all of the overclocking etc.
It has elements of Rosie sense at the moment I think the launcher is ADW but i shall fix this to the Rosie launcher in the next version as I think there is a package conflict there at the moment as to which launcher the system uses
Great job, dude!! I really would like this rom if Rosie can fully landscape the homescreen... I'm looking forward for your update. Hope it wil be very soon

It doesn't matter what you want, the 'use the search button' response is the most helpful because these are all questions which can be answered by that magical thing. Stop being lazy, and search in order to learn.

1.
Go to android nand section and see the sticky thread linking to some tutorials.
2. Nand rom is flashed to internal memory (nand .) and sd rom will have all files on sd and will load things in ram etc (you need it if you want to stay with win mobile or using it with wp7)
3. No but there are many different roms for every taste
4. Yes see the nand section
5. If you follow the tutorial etc you will never have any problem (did about 50 rom flashes and no problem)
6. Hope I get a thanks for not posting :use the search function

Yeah
1. Latest android version is 2.3.5, but there are mainly customized and optimized roms but that's what a community is for
2. There are some bugs in sense 3.0roms (only low quality recording).
But for example the nexus rom has nearly no bugs.
Depends on how much new things you want etc.
Read some threads and decide which fits best for you.

So which is the best Cyanogen mod with the most less bugs?
2. Is there any official Cyanogen Mod?
3. I haven't even used HD 2 once and I want to know after I install a version of Cyanogen mod how much space would I get to install apps?
Cause I don't wanna partition my SD Card.....
NOTE : I don't have HD 2.... Am Flashing HD 2 with Android for a friend of mine and need to get as much as possible info before I flash it....

1. I don't use cyanogen mod so you will have to decide. But most of the roms are based on nightlies so they are probably not the stablest. Find a stable one by reading the threads.
2. No they are mostly based on cm7 of desire etc.
3. You will be able to install about 30 apps (depends on if they can be moved to sd via the normal app2sd way)
Good luck

[Q] Couple of Revolution HD questions.

I recently picked up a used, rooted TF101 and I am loving it. The rom on it was a fairly unstable release of ICS and I quickly changed it to Rev.HD and it works great.
But, the previous rom had the ability to add a couple of programs to the unlock circle as well as the ability to hold the power button and reboot, reboot into recovery and power down the unit. These functions are not built into Rev. HD unless I am missing something, and that is possible. The other odd thing happens in Google Play, I do not see the whats new section for any of the apps that want to update. I could be missing something, have been using, rooting and roming my Motorola Droids for years, but ICS is a little different.
Thanks Matt
Well I can awnser your first question and indeed there is no advance power menu.
and second, I don't understand your question.
and 3, this topic is totaly wrong.
3a. if you post questions do that in the question forum
3b. this could be posted in the ARHD topic.
Please follow up these comments...

I am new to this site, the banner for the general section was subtitled with "Q&A". If there is a section that is for ARHD and not for development I would be happy to post there, but I have not been here long enough to hit 10 posts so I could not post in the development section.
I will try to explain my last question better... On my phones, in GPlay, when I choose one of my installed apps to update I get several panes. One of the is titled "What's New" and it lists changes in the current version. I do not ever see this pane in ICS GPlay and I really like to review this info. On the tablet when I choose an app to upgrade it goes straight to the "accept and download" pane.
Am I doing something wrong?
You were probably on a cm9 based rom which would explain the power menu with reboot to recovery and such. Megatron is probably closer to what you are looking for.
TF101 Megatron 1.0.4 Guevor test 19.2
The first ROM you had was probably a custom ROM also.
There's two ROM i know that you can customized the lock ring to add apps. AOKP and Team EOS and both those had Power button menu.
The Play Store work a little different on tablet vs phone.
When you see an app with update avaiable, you'll see a panel with teh usual "Open, Update or Uninstall" option.
Click on the app's icon, it will take you to a page with "What's New" ect.
First of all thanks to mike1986 for his work on this ROM.
I bought the Transformer rooted and with REVOLUTION HD ROM installed (don't remember the version 2.... ). After this i updated to 3.2.1 ROM and ALL was perfect. No errors, no random reboots no incompatibility with any app that i needed.
Since I was so confident with this ROM and the quality, I decided to upgrade to the last version (3.4.2) last night. All went ok, booted to lock menu and started to continously reboot. After litle observing I disabled the Wi-Fi and no more reboots. So i started to uninstall all apps related to wi-fi that I had installed in previous ROM (Wi-Fi manager, widget, Auto airplane mode). Than again I enabled the Wi-Fi via setings menu and the reboots returned.
Now i have the transformer with ROM 3.4.2 but no Wi-Fi!!! since it is not a 3G model, this puts me in a very frustrating situation .
Does anybody know how can i solve this matter or please post a link to REVOLUTION HD ROM version 3.2.1!
Many thanks to all and I hope someone can help me with this.
Solved my wi-fi problem
What can I say.... some digging in this forum and one solution was found . Even if the original post say you should not wipe if you are coming from dev's own ROM, actualy you should wipe. I just did that and installed again ROM 3.4.2.
Now all is working as it should!
Thanks again for this to all involved
Other tips. Look for an app here at XDA although I'm not sure if it was a transformer subforum or not called Reboot to Recovery. A shortcut to it on your home screen will give you the ability to reboot to recovery of the ROM you're using didn't offer that.

Thank you for this info. i'm stable and happy with ROM 3.4.2. for my next update i'll keep this in mind.
When I first started playing with custom roms, ARHD 3.4.2 was definitely my favorite. It has a very stock feel to it with many optimizations.
But when when I developed a better understanding of recovery and flashing roms, I switched to AOKP and its derivatives. They offer you a lot more customization options. I'm currently running Steel Droid v2 with the Harmony rev3 kernel.
Make sure to make a nandroid backup and use an app like titanium backup to keep everything safe and then experiment and find what's best for you.
ARHD is great, but I like Steel Droid sooooo much more!

[ROM][Aug14 2012] Blackout ICS Incredible v3.0.0 FULLY WORKING!!! [4.0.4][Sense 3.6]
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1531218
i hope ppl dont mind me using this post as a sounding board for the ICS Blackout incredible rom, but i have no option as i currently cannot post in the android dev thread due to lack of 10 posts
this rom is working extremely well for a daily rom, but just noticed a few issues:
1) once the default wallpaper is changed, the wallpaper ceases to scroll as you scroll through the home screens
2) Battery monitor widget reporting wrong mA differences...tried all settings in the widget to no avail...
3) could someone please tell me what rosie scroll does?
and thanks to the ICS team once again
cheers!
:good:
I've been testing this ROM for 2 days now and I haven't had a bug yet. Works perfectly for me, I love it. I had been using puse ICS ROMS lately, but now I'm back to Sense, the best UI out there.
I noticed people had problems installing this rom. When I installed it, I used ARHD superwipe to fully clean out any residues and it installed perfectly. The only bugs I've found so far is that the WIFI portable hotspot did not turn on properly (not password protected) and it would not allow me to turn the WIFI back on unless I rebooted. It's ok in smoothness, not quite like ARHD 6.33 running TSF shell. I did use their blackout tweaks to smooth the rosie but again, you can see a bit of lag when it came to switching applications. They also forgot to remove HTC logging which I froze with Titanium backup.

Well actually I tried exactly the same approach.
Only I ended up with a black unresponsive screen right after the first "htc splash"
Gave it 5 min. Nothing whatsoever happened.
Went back to ARHD 7.0.4 without a hitch.
Dunno - the installation itself ran flawlessly :what:

I also made sure when I downloaded the rom, the MD5 checksums matched. When I was downloading Virtuous Infinity, one link provided a bad MD5. I believe I waited a while before the whole rom booted but I did see the splash screen of Blackout after HTC's. This was coming from 4EXT and not Clockwork since I believe 4EXT is much better.

Used ext4 recovery myself. MD5 checked out. Rebooted from recovery.
In short - dotted i's & crossed t's.
Would have tried again but ran out of playtime Need a working phone for a while. Will give it another go later.
Thanks for the input anyway.

This may or may not help your problem. But I found this reply from one of developers interesting about a install script problem. (can't post links yet, best I can do)

"mount: failed to mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p26 at /data: Device or resource busy"
and
"error: file_write: write: I/O error
Installer Error (Status 1)"
Now what can the cause be?
Oh, I forgot: have checked the md5sum and was correct (I mean throughout recovery on the SD after the zip was copied to the SD...
Again: sorry but not allowed to post at the ROM's thread...
Theres a known bug in the aroma script. Youll have to select "perform a full wipe" in aroma and not tick the reboot checkbox that shows up when flashing is done. Then all should be fine
Script will be fixed in future releases. Sorry for the inconvenience

Well actually I tried exactly the same approach.
Only I ended up with a black unresponsive screen right after the first "htc splash"
Gave it 5 min. Nothing whatsoever happened.
Went back to ARHD 7.0.4 without a hitch.
Dunno - the installation itself ran flawlessly :what:

i'm surprised to read that so many people are facing a problem installing the rom in the way specified by the devs! i followed the exact instructions given by the dev team and it seems to work just fine. i guess that a previous post mentioned a corrupt file download from one of the earlier mirrors.
i had clockworkmod recovery 5.0.2.0 installed to help me load the rom.
i just hope the dev team of blackout reads this thread too, so that less fortunate people like us also get their voices heard!
Everything is ok now. I just activated the choice gsm / wcdma, the cellular network is once again functional. Also the option of blackout tweaks, it works only from the application menu. This is the most stable of Roms in Ics and sense.

I don't think you waited long enough for the first boot.

Hmm - Possible i guess. Thanks.
Next time i try, it´ll get ½ hour to make up it´s mind!
That has got to be enough. Will try downloading & MD5 check again.
Oh - to thread in general: I chose "sense theme" Did everyone else do differently?

anyone facing a problem logging in to adobe account through the reader app? my old e-bboks are now showing as DRM protected and i can no longer access them
Just wanted to thank everyone who worked on this rom. Everything is working great for me!
Anyone else with an Inspire on ATT with working MMS care to share their APN? I cant send or receive them.

I'm sure it looks great but you will run into a lot of sluggishness/slowness. I did the following to clear up this slowness:
- go into daemon control in apps drawer
- go to the cpufreq tab at the top
- change governor to smartassV2
- hit Apply button
I tested this and it clears up the sluggishness/slowness a lot have seen with this rom. You can definitely tell if you play a mp4 video without it and then with it on. If you use the OCD tab where it has min and max wake/sleep values with smartassV2 governor, it doesn't give the best results of smoothness like the method above.
You can also use SuperCharger_Starter_Kit_RC12.zip & V6_SuperCharger_for_Android-Update9_RC10.sh.pdf script to set the min/max memory tweaks that the whole system keeps free. This script requires you to reboot every time a change is made. You can however use an app called Autokiller memory which does the same without rebooting your phone.
Hopefully they will fix this daemon issue along with a lot of other issues in the next build. Again, thanks to the Blackout team for a great effort.
