Database Develop

Sense UI for Milestone (anyone tried it yet?)

Theres a sense ui rom that i found, looks like that the developer abandoned it, iv tried to port it into my milestone...but im just a novice user...so dont know how to tune the rom...hope some one here can further develop it...
http://forums.zeusdroid.org/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=25

ehh its zeusdroid.
the developer didnt abandon it, it just that it was a port from and HTC Desire, and porting a rom from GSM phone to CDMA is HARD!!
so his release is only in ALPHA not even beta yet.
i tried the past 2 versions and unless ur gonna partition ur sd card DONT bother!!!
its quite Pathetic how slow and unusable it is.
i just use froyo + HTC like clock widget, and thats enough for me

Begs the question are we talking about the GSM Milestone or the CDMA Droid since the OP asked about the Milestone....
And how does one port a ROM to a device with a locked bootloader in the first place?! (Kexec is yet to be up and running properly remember?) That could be a reason why the OP is having a hard time!!
I ask since there is also no Froyo on the Milestone until Motorola release it...

The issue actually has nothing to do with the bootloader but the radio libs. The Sense based builds make specials calls intended for an htc based ril. If the Ril doesn't know what to do with those calls there are all kinds of issues, as in the case of the droid/milestone.
Running a custom rom on the milestone is possible, in fact I had the latest CM compiled for the droid up and running on the milestone, but there were many many issues with it that I just couldn't work out.

actually is main flaw was that he used the Droid port in order to apply it to the phone witch litterally brick his modem ( sort of speak), he s worked around that and will be releasing this soon .
Tonight from what I gathered ..

Add modmymobile.com before that link.
Anyway, it doesn't work on my Milestone, HTC logo just goes on in a loop.

Yep, the modmymobile one seems the more promising but loop on the HTC logo for me too :/

It seems that only the creator succeeded in making work it, anyway looking at the videos he posted it seem pretty much fluid, even if it has some problems in landscape mode.
Hope he will fix it soon...

Landscape would not be a problem for me. But it's weird it works on its Milestone and not our :/

Won't be a problem for me either, but it's very strange that it works only on his device :/
He also posted that reflashing the .36 ROM and applying the customisation led to another different result (works but not as fast as the previous try) :S

wrong thread

mod merge all the sens ui thread maybe ?

[ROM] On hold. HCDR.ROM v2.0 - Sensible Yoghurt. (FroYo with Sense!!!!!)

Hello,
I am making this thread for my next ROM which is being released soon. It is based on a leaked chinese version of Android 2.2 for Wildfire. I have managed to boot it (albeit with most hardware not yet working). I am removing the chinese apps and adding things like the android market and multiple languages, as well as looking into the hardware problems to fix.
First impressions so far are that Froyo is fast even with Sense, I didn't experience any lag yet.
What to expect when the ROM comes:
*Root
*FroYo
*System apps relocated to /data/app_s (like in KiljackenROM)
*Android Market
*Flash Player (Flash Lite, NOT 10.1)
Looking forward to getting this ROM working fully for you guys and releasing it
To do:
*Fix Wifi
*Fix Bluetooth
*Fix Sensors
*Fix Camera (or at least try to)
*Fix FM Radio
*Add APNs
*Add HTC Facebook & Twitter (FriendStream)
NOTE : THREAD TEMPORARILY CLOSED WILL OPEN WHEN JACOB IS READY WITH HIS NEW ROM
JACOB SEND ME A PM LATTER ON WEN UR READY OK

Great!
I think the camera will not work, but i can't wait.

awesome ... Keep up the good work

Great news
I like Sense UI, now on froyo will run better I think.
Thank you for your hard work

Great!!!
Cant wait to see some screenshots, even if camera never worked, froyo runs great on our "poor" tattoo. Would love to see sense on 2.2 ,even if it slows a phone a little bit, never mind, but then maybe you will allow for some OC in the kernel?
Keep up the great work, be well and THANX once more.

thanks thanks thanks!! waiting for flash&test when done...keep the good work jacob!!

great news jacob... great great.... i can't believe.....
thanks jacob....

thanks for yoru work

Can't wait. I love your 1.6 ROM!
Still, I hope the camera will be fixed in the near future...
Keep up the good work!

And what about FM-radio?

Hey jacob, awesome news! Thanks and please overclock if possible...

OMG! That's great news! I can't wait!

I'm really hoping Bluetooth file transfer will work! And if you can get FM radio and 3D to work, better still... If you get the camera going... I'll love you forever!

[Q] Change to MIUI or not?

Hi guys,
i dont really find any related threads..
so i wanna ask you all whether it's better to stay on darky's rom
or change to MIUI?
and how serious is the battery drain problem? does it matter?
how long does the battery last?

MIUI is awesome, i never looked into it at first but im glad i did. I have been on it for weeks and i aint going elsewhere.
Battery is normal. 1-2 days at best.
Also. New updates every friday.
Highly customisable. You wil be amazed at it.
Try it and see. You can always flash back if you dont like it. But i know u will
Sent from Miui powered SGS

I agree, I love this ROM, totally different to any other ROM you will have tried, it's like having a new phone. If you can flash your phone successfully and iron out some other niggles you'll get trying to update, you won't go back to another rom again

id say looks great but finding so many many annoying things - though im new today so if i missed something or a fix i apologise way in advance 690odd pages is too much to sift through
keyboard has no working dictionary
auto rotate is bust
themes doesnt seem to change all the time correctly
auto brightness seems to not work too
and keep getting FC now and then in settings
Signal keeps switching off too(only fix is lock/unlock)
besides this and as i say totally new today n maybe i screwed up or missed a fix. its a great looking rom. feels nice

Their are other roms
Rom Kitchen
Look In Developers section .
Darkys is a rom not the holy grail of rom development suggest you try others you can always go back.
jje

miui 1.4.15 works awesome with zachs kernel!
now just wait for the rc5b then it will be even better

Keyboard will be fixed today. download keyboard from market temporarily
auto rotate is fine for many of us, depends on your kernel
majority of themes work perfect, very few of the 1000's of themes dont work 100%
auto brightness, again works well for many of us, check it under the settings menu.
FC in settings is due to the theme being used. as mentioned above
signal issue.... is lock/unlock so hard work ???
anyway rc5b will be released soon and im pretty sure all the above will be fixed. im sure you can appreciate the hard work taken to get this ROM almost perfect. there is no guide for this ROM, as there is for samsung ROMs.

looks like you all appreciate the miui rom
thats good.. i first thought that the battery drain would be a problem, but atm
my darky roms sucks more and i can run it only for one day
what major changes will come with rc5b? i thought of changing to rc5?
does anyone use the miui version? or is everyone on xda version?

well i use the xda version i think - the xda page directs me to 'sourceforge'
as the team translate it to english (its originally chinese)
RC5B will just fix a few bugs that is in the RC5.
you can flash to whichever version you want, just follow the steps carefully.

Buddy, try SpeedMod Kernel with DarkyROM. Trust me, you won't go back.
Even with 3G, Sync, Music & video playbacks, my I9000 has about 60% battery at the end of the day.
& of course, benchmark is about 1.9 to 2k ;-)

MIUI always gave me trouble with constant FCs.I've tried varius versions and not even one was stable.This is the most annoying thing in MIUI there is no stable version,only unstable roms full of regressions.I always end up in stock roms
I should point out that i am an avid flasher and i have the phone for over a year so i know exactly what i am talking about.

I've tried most of miui roms and I won't be going back anytime soon.
1) Theme app not working consistently. Sometimes it hangs and doesnt load anything, other times it just FC's
3) Battery, whatever they say is rank compared to a Samsung rom
4) Laggy browsers. This is was got me really REALLY frustrated.
5) No radio
6) Updated every Friday my arse. Only reason they are updated all the time is because there is so many bugs and ALWAYS something not working lol
7) The whole modification thing is a bit of a fallacy if you ask me. There's only so much you can change. Icons and wallpapers basically and most that are available are crap or just a mashup of other themes mixed with different wallpapers.
I could go on all day
I'm much happier on Samsung based roms.
They work.
You can theme them
Battery is lots better

[Q] What's your favourite ICS for Nexus One?

I'm curious...what is everyone's ICS distro of choice for the Nexus One?
i.e. BCM / TexasIce / MIUI
No bashing allowed...only critical conversation please!
I'm using BCM as I like to have the Cyanogenmod features.

+1 for BCM9

BCM is running pretty smooth and with good features.

BCM

Bravo CM9

Damn.
That's a lot for BCM.
I'm currently running TexasIce. No problems. Smooth as silk.
What does BCM have over TexasIce? Have they fixed the video camera FC?

CyanogenMod 9 I don't care about the video camera, rarely use(d) it.

Gotcha.
So what does BCM have over TexasIce? I'm in no way trying to poke holes in anybody's preferrence. If anything, I'm looking for a reason to flash BCM here. Is BCM basically just TexasIce with the CM9 toolbox? Is one any more "AOSP"-ish than the other?

As I said, BCM has CyanogenMod 9 over TexasICS. I got really used to CM7, and CM9 is no different (some functionality is still missing though). I tried TexasICS a few times, but I feel like BCM fits my needs more than TexasICS. I don't have anything against TexasICS, and I don't think people should see these 2 ROMs as opponents.

I got you bro, but my question is still pretty unanswered.
To begin with, I'll say that I LOVE the CM team and all their work. The CM ROMs are minimalist, yet customizable, ultimately providing an android experience that's unadulterated by even the slightest carrier modifications. Plus it's tailored for the power user.
I know this, but that's not quite what I'm looking for in the answer.
I'm simply wondering, besides being associated with the cyanogenmod team, is BCM more stable/closer to being a complete, bugless AOSP distribution of ICS than TexasIce?
I gather that they have not fixed the video camera FC- something that's not a big deal to me.
For example, this is the list taken directly from the TexasIce thread of things that are NOT working:
Gapps might not work properly (search the thread for fixes before posting issues)
USB: MTP / PTP / Tethering
wifi ad-hoc (might work)
Builtin alarm clock app doesn't work 100% of the time.

*Anything in blue doesn't really bother me...and the gapps issue is an old wive's tale
I'm curious about whether the stock alarm clock app is buggy in BCM as well, though.
While it's not on the list, an FC when hitting 'record' in the stock video camera app is the only other major issue. Apparently this is due to having to fix something with the stagefright video encoder
What I'm wondering is- Has BCM fixed ANY of these things as of right now? Or are both ROMs on the 'same page'?

The Gapps that I installed with BCM are all working 100%. Never had any FC or freeze. The USB issues I wouldn't know because I never use it for anything other than ADB/Fastboot. Wifi idem dito. Alarm clock is working 100% for me, never missed any early class. I don't believe I've read anything about the alarm clock not working in the BCM thread
Also, I believe BCM doesn't have the Screen of Death which some TexasICS users are experiencing. But it's the same with every ROM: it can work perfectly on one Nexus One, while it sucks on the other.

Awesome bro that's what I'm looking for.
Ultimately, I've got no real allegiance to one brand or the other. As I said, I love the CM team and what they do. I'm all about results though, and if they're a bit behind TexasIce than I'm not interested.
By the sound of it, though, this isn't the case. I appreciate your input man.
Just flashed TexasIce ICS yesterday, but it looks like I might be flashing BCM today.
Thanks again for the info bro.

Just wait a few hours and somebody else would recommend TexasICS
Please let us know what you think after you've installed BCM!

Yeah, likewise, I haven't tried TexasIce, but the known problems listed as being present in TexasIce (aside from video recording), are non-issue in BCM.
One thing I did discover though - if you take TexasIce's latest Kernel (he posted it in a thread) and put that in BCM, BCM becomes just as fast (or faster) than Cyanogen Mod 7! No hindrance on battery life either. I was in shock - a full speed / slick / stable ICS on Nexus One...now if the video recording / camera scanning features were enabled, this would be 100% fully operational.

I have used both.
Both are equally good and stable but I was on Bcm at the end for a while before I switched to sensation xe.
I preferred bcm due to no SoD issues(drewis kernel solved it later on also) , ease of install and configuration also I was having 3-5 random restarts on tesaxice but seldomly had on bcm, once a week if any.

Really quickly, I know BCM is ported from the HTC Desire/Bravo CM9. Now, I know the Desire and the N1 are almost identical, the only differences being the N1's trackball and capacitive buttons (as far as I know).
So, question: Does the N1 port of the Desire's CM9 distribution have all the N1's hardware working correctly? Trackball wake and notifications? Any/everything else?
Ultimately, even though it's a port, is BCM being developed with the N1 in mind?
Thanks for the info fellas.

+1 BCM with Drew Kernel

Yeah it does. Plus if you want to customize anything, you can install Lightflow to do so.

tried them both, but always preferred bcm.

Nobody has tried. Icy 7. Look on drewgaren Web site

custom rom with native chinese support?

Hi everyone, I'm new here and would really appreciate some help with my new phone from Mobilicity. Samsung Galaxy Mini (SGH-T499)
After rooting, unlocking and installing all my apps I realized my phone doesn't come with Native Chinese support. I can type some chinese characters while some appear as squares. CSR from mobilicity said that the phone doesn't have Native Chinese support and won't provide any support.
I'm guessing the only thing left for me to do is installing a custom rom with native chinese support (if there is even one available). It's not a big deal but my girlfriend's parents only understands chinese and it would be a lifesaver...
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks a lot in advance.
PS: In case there isn't a rom with native chinese support. Since i factory resetted my phone, I might as well install a custom rom since stock rom is garbage.
What's the latest custom rom without bugs and is 100% stable? Any help on this would be great. Thanks in advance.

For samsung dart, i doubt that there might be any but one custom rom i suppose.
Try searching inside the galaxy mini android development forum for it.
or google it.
Edit: i was wrong.
Found a cm7 port for dart on madteam forum…
Try this.
Dev's comments
Partially working:
Camera (no preview but can take pictures, unable to adjust effects, brightness, sharpness, contrast and exposure)
Not working:
Video Camera (depends on the camera preview to work) Touchkey Backlight - Nothing wrong with it. Just have to finish adding support for it in the liblights daemon which I am almost done. But is a bit buggy.

Yea i found that one too. Too bad that the camera doesn't fully work. Guess i'm stuck with stock rom then...

Well don't think so that camera is a priority (atleast not for me xD),atleast you can give it a try..

wild guess:
search for miui roms - they should have it, since the genuine software is chinese (beware stability issues though)

Lol the galaxy dart is having hard time when it comes to custom roms and you're suggesting for MIUI roms.
Insane , try porting some already.

yea well no one seems to give a damn about this crappy phone lol...
guess its stock rom for now..

Well there is always hope,
You can try compliling cm7 from source, if you want to or modify stock roms to your needs.
Good luck.
