Expresso 2.06 - Customize ROM - Sense by default - Desire General

looooooooooooooooool

For my ROM I had to do a workaround. The phone first boots with standard HTC Sense launcher. After going through HTC Setup Wizard (it FC's if ExpressoBVar is applied on first boot) we go back into recovery and flash ExpressoBar add-on. On next boot everything is normal but with ExpressoBar.

Yes, I know that if i reflash expresso mod it works, but i like it in first boot like other versions

The problem is in the modified files. I tried using HTC Setup Wizard from FRF85B but the same thing happens. Could be me that messed something up while editing the apks on FRF91.

I Think the problem is in .xml files from .com.resources and framework-res, because before try 2.06 version, i was tried an older, and the Sense UI load in first boot (but with many errors).
I think that .xml says run default froyo launcher, and not senseui

Ok, that could explain something, but then again. Why if we're modifying images (not .xmls) Sense doesn't boot and on stock Rosie.apk it does?

With the older expresso, i modded images on rosie, and resources, and it runs by default, i don't understand that happens in 2.06 with non stock rosie. I think not is Rosie.apk, if not resources.

I also has a good side. ROM users can choose if they want to use stock launcher or ExpressoBar. In my ROM I included a set of instructions which explain on how to install ROM + ExpressoBar.

The problem is just in any .xml of com.htc.resources.apk, but i don't know witch and where is the parameter who tells use sense by default (or don't work if not original rosie.apk)

HELP!!!

I updated my ADW Launcher to the newest version and now it keeps crashing. I also selected to always launch with it so i cant clear the data to use Sense and uninstal ADW.
What do i do??????
What rom are you running? Stock? Rooted? How long in between crashes?

You might check out the ADW thread in the Android section (not individual phone sections). The issue is known but they haven't got around to fixing it yet. Give them a day or two and I'm sure it will be dealt with.
Of course that's assuming you're running 6.1 (not sure if it happens with 6.0).
the easiest way to do it would be to find a flashable .zip of adw to apply in recovery to replace the one crashing or just take the apk from cyanogenmod rom (any rom) and push it to system/app in recovery... so when you reboot you will get to pick wich launcher to start by default again... that has happened to me several time but with rosie launcher (sense) when trying to change the looks of it and thats how i fix it every time xD

Your post is a tad confusing. Are you attempting to push an HTC clock onto an AOSP or Sense Gingerbread rom? If it is the former, it's not going to work. If it is the latter, wouldn't it be easier to simply go into recovery, wipe cache & dalvik and then reflash the rom?

[Q] LeeDroid HD 3.1.4: Sense 3.0 Addon not installing & others

Hello all,
Sorry for posting here....although I have followed the forum, I have not posted much and cannot post yet in the development forums.
1. I installed LeeDroid..its a great ROM! (thanks) I flashed the sense 3.0 add-on a couple of times through the CWM 3.0.2.6 but the sense is still 2.1. What am I doing wrong?
2. How to I flash the radio? I have S-off and Eng-off..my CID is HD_001 (I can change it to 1111111 if needed). Please let me know.
3. Is there an Arabic add-on for the latest leeDroid rom (this would be awesome)
Thanks!
Bump!
Anyone knows the answer?

1. For now, Lee's patch is the lockscreen, weather & mms. He did indicate he was playing with rosie 3 and wdigets from SEO's thread. Never know, he may make a updated patch for us.
If you have any problems (FCs, weather not syncing and so on) try to do a data partition wipe or go to Settings -> Applications -> Mnage aplications -> All apps and clear data of these apps:
HTC Weather Sync Provider
Weather Provider
HTC Sense
Messages
Please avoid restoring titanium backups of above applications

2. Read this and all warnings: [RADIO][LATEST: 26.09.04.11]The HTC Desire HD Radio Thread
DL the correct radio
check md5 (ensure the checksum matches - not corrupted - on the above thread). If It's in a zip, extract, you want to check the radio.img file.
Place the extracted radio.img into the sdk folder where the fastboot.exe is located
Use CMD to navigate to that folder ie. cd\program files\android\android-sdk\tools\ (yours might be slightly different, but you get the idea)
Connect phone to pc, USB debugging enabled, Edit: Charge only mode
type " fastboot reboot bootloader", wait a minute, phone will boot into FASTBOOT USB
type "fastboot flash radio radio.img"
Reboot phone, you can check version menu / settings / about phone / software information
You don't need to worry about RIL's, as the RIL is provided in the ROM for ......11_M2
3. Not too sure about the Arabic patch yet, I'm sure Lee will get around to it soon enough.
Weather Problems (Lee's)

Im having a similar problem, my weather never ever syncs properly. I click into weather update and its brings in the weather then as soon as i change screen it dissapears and doesnt come back.
The above doesn't work for me. Ive tried this process a few times now, each time its just removes all my apps from the 7 screens and reverts back to the stock setting.
How do you make the weather work properly? Its so annoying.
I got the exact same issue with the weather, any fix ?
Thanks a lot
force close issues with rosie 3.0
I just did a full wipe today to flash the LeeDroid 3.1.5 w/ kernal 3.1.6. I am running the recommended radio aswell. I flashed the sense 3.0 kingdom and flashed rosie 3.0 after. all from Lee's OP. Screens worked well and looked great, but when I tried to start playing with the widgets I got force close from Rosie 3.0 everytime. Tried a fresh wipe and reflashed again and cleared cache from sense and still had same force close problems. So I went the 3rd round without rosie installed and everything is working normally. I havent tried installing w/o sense 3.0 all-in-one.
I think this problem is related possibly to the problems in this forum so I thought I would share. Think it needs a little work but I really liked the addon, so I hope it is resolved..!
I had the same issue with the weather when I first starting the using sense 3.0 patch. Deleting all data for the weather app fixed it for me
Settings -> Manage Applications -> All -> Weather -> Clear Data
For good measure I also cleared the data for anything else relating to weather (widget, provider, agent service, etc) but you might just get away with just clearing data for the weather app itself

You are not doing anything wrong, sense in leedroid remains 2.1 despite the addons/mods you are applying because those are not full sense 3.0 but just parts of it.
this sense 3.0 weather app has got me exhausted, really.
i tried so many tips and tricks but again it force closes.
it never comes up on lock screen.
why don't they fix it soon ...

[Q] ARHD 6.3 Skins, sluggish

Hello everyone, I am having a mild problem. When I open a skin I downloaded with a theme from my file manager, and click install, it says it installed. So I go to personalize, click skin, but they are never there. Just the 3 stock skins(burgundy etc.) with htc. Can anyone help me to get the skins to show?
Also on ARHD 6.3 and previous versions I get noticeable lag and slowness. I use quadrant as a comparative to what my phone will normally run. For instance on a fresh restart my phone hits about 2600 o/c at 1.69. After a couple hours of the restart I notice it gets slow and when loading webpages its very slow and when running intense games it gets slow, so I benchmark it and every time it gets slow I get around 1600. If I do another restart I'm back up to 2600 with extremely noticeable improvement. Any ideas why? Do I need to flash a different kernel or something? Please help and thanks!
what skin files r u trying to use? the HTC official skins shouldnt need to be installed via a file manager u just need login to the HTC Sense account and download it normally like in a stock DHD. any other skins that i know of you have to flash via CWM or EXT4 Recovery, unless u are using the no-sense ARHD of which u use ADW or LauncherPro or any other launcher.
I havent had a problem with the HTC official ones tho the flashed ones (themes by kalagas, he_stheone64, etc) have small bugs in it that causes it to be sluggish, for me it was the facebook that came with the flashed skin, updating facebook to the latest one fixed it.
apart from that, did u do a full wipe before hand with the Super Wipe script? u have to do a superwipe if you came from any other rom or ARHD6.2.0, also do not restore data or apps using titanium or mybackup, doing this creates slowdown bugs.
if u want to backup contacts or calendar just use the built in google account sync.
Another thing i can think of is make sure you untick "backup my data" or something like that under "privacy" in settings so the phone doesnt try to download sync data and apps from your previous rom. *Doing this wont affect the contacts or calendar sync. So when you boot the rom it will be clean and stock arhd.
hope it helps

I understand that for the HTC stock skins, I don't have a problem with those. I mean like the IceHD theme, and skin. When I go to install his skin after I get theme flashed it says it installed but I never see it as an option to change under personalize>skins like he had stated, as well as others.
As for ARHD, I had backup my settings enabled so I will see if this is the problem. But if I want to ever back up app data what should I use so I won't just get lag when I do?
You do realise the IceHD theme is for sense 3.5 he_stheone64 has not released one for Sense 3.0.
ARHD uses sense 3.0,
for ARHD you can use HoneyHD, BlueHD, etc; just make sure they're Sense 3.0 and as for them appearing in the menu they overwrite the basic HTC sense skin (the original skin on first boot).
If you want to use IceHD u need the Runnymede based roms with Sense3.5
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1261721
why just use the ICS theme, why not flash ICS, its alright so far, im using the virtuous quattro RC1 - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1428047
Also ignore quadrant scores, since you might have installed different apps or some apps maybe updating in the background after a reboot, it will consume different CPU power at that time, so as long as it feels smooth its working fine. for ARHD install the 90% super smooth rosie under custom modifications, it will limit the 3d effect of the homescreen to reduce lag.
The sluggishness in the middle of the day is also caused by the android memory management, gingerbread will automatically suspend "closed" apps so it can be recalled quickly if u decide to open them later. but after opening a few apps earlier, then later u decide to open a high memory app, the system will kill those apps down (including the rosie homescreen app) while launching the new app to make room - this is also the cause for lag. U can use the built in task manager to kill off an app, but this may cause instabilities in some cases.
Ahhhh, well Restorer ported it to sense 3.0, and preacher added hamdirs mods to it, its real nice, so i use that one. Im not going full ICS until its fully stable, like camera lol. As for the lag stuff your probably right its just real annoying sometimes when I am trying to do something like intense gaming. thanks for your help!

Ok Ill quote myself and if someone may assist me in finding the answer I do believe more people than me may have had the same issue...
1.- I just went to apps settings and erased all cache on this, extra data for sense home, reboot, stated the same.
2.- I dont know if i download HTC Sense Home by APK i might be able to install it once again with an additional APK installer since the android defult is not allowing me to reinstall it (I downloaded htc sense from a post on xda).
3.-Maybe I will need to try a modified zip rom to flash htc sense from recovery...need to find that file somewhere on xda
4.-Erease perhaps Dalvik/Cahce from recovery????
Help mates please!

Why don't you just dirty flash the viper rom over your messed system? If you don't wipe anything you will not lose any of your data.
