After some water exposal, bottom hardware buttons (along with optical trackball) refused to work.
I have fixed them with some precise inside cleaning, but the optical function (not the button himself) continues malfunctioning, which is not a big deal for me, but..
The exact problem: i spotted in dark environment, that the sensor inside continuously glimmers in all modes - scren-off, scren-on (without puting finger over him), etc.. In return, my battery drains extra aprox. 10-12 mA!
I have observed, that in healthy device, sessor glimms only when interacting with him..
Is there a chance to disable this sensor to avoid this? I hope in software manner
I don't think there is anything out there that will disable the optical pad. You could give HTC a call or your carrier and see what they say.
There is this thread on the forums about turning off the backlights.
Should work for trackball as well? Probably. Something about LED Hack on the first or second page. Seems to be something on the 3rd page as well.
Go have a read over here (I just skimmed. its 2am lol) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=704977

If you tell me your kernel version I will try to build a kernel without trackpad support!?
@Meaple 's post was sadly adequate and rips best hope in me ;( ..
@eden2812 I have using 2 led hacks from previous attempts to minimize energy consumption & eye comfort, and they shurely don't do the "trackpad sensor shutting" job..
@AndroidJaspie
it's so damn cool to offer this kind of experience. salute!
i have likely using latest Ginger Villain's compilation, but any recent rom-kernel set, with weak appetite fits my best.
i will be very patient to hear from you..
my current setup is:
OK I built a new kernel from the cyanogenmod sources now without trackball support. I tested it with GingerVillain 1.4 and it worked.
please make a backup and then give the update.zip a try.
Tell me if the new kernel solved your problem or not.
Jasper
Yes Jasper, obviously the sensor is shutted (no glimmering observes) and the xtra drain is all gone now!! I'm so pleased.
But i have found, that the bottom buttons (including the button under the optical trackpad) not waking the phone any more. Is this issue related?
And another, not so important question: Would be this kernel compliant with other Gingerbread releases? or.. could you give me some hint, if is possible to transform your "surgery" into a some kind of a patch, that will give me opportunity to enjoy any feature kernel/roms?
Again, BIG 10x for your respond in this custom problem so far! You make my life happier

No problem i like it to work with things like that. So it's a good chance to improve my knowledge about linux and help other people at the same time.
Are you talking about the all buttons or only about the button around the optical sensor?
If you are talking about the one around the sensor then it's normal that it won't wake up the phone any more. But the others(home, menu, back and search) should work like before.
This kernel works only with cyanogenmod and GingerVillain. On other rom's like Oxygen it doesn't work. But you i can compile you the kernel you want.
At the moment it's only possible to disable the trackball only by editing the kernel configuration. But i will try to get it working without changing the kernel so that you can use every kernel you want.
Jasper
i told so, about the relation of shutted sensor and not working buton.., but yes, others buttons also not working in lockscreen-off mode, where they should or at least worked before. (volume butts still works for wakening..)
ps. a have barely no linux skills, but its interesting for me either!
and if editing & compiling is not so high level task, im going to try first steps right now!
Any way, disabling track sensor without editing kernel settings sounds like a dream..

hi, my fried
could you tell me, where in the config I can find the exact setting and how to change it?
hi
if you got the kernel source you can make menuconfig to configure the new kernel. To disable the trackball go to "Device Drivers" --> "Input device support" --> "Opticaljoystick". To disable the joystick press "n" to enable it press "y"
Don't know how to comile your own kernel?
here is a useful links that helped me, too:
-[HOW-TO] Build your own kernel package from source
huh.. 10x 4 the guides, they light me enough to get started week ago, but i get stuck just in the beginning (problems with MBR or something..). and at this moment i have absolute lack of time to deal with this interesting stuff. However.. can i have one more last ask from you: to compile for me an updated kernel.. (they says he has the ability to record 2way call conversations..)
Using the Ginger Villain rom, suppose with this richardtrip kernel. Guess CM will worx too..
Thanks anyway!
ok
a bit late but here it is
a new kernel version 2.6.37.2 from the richardtrip-sources.
kernel features:
-disabled trackball
I don't know anything about "Two-way call recording kernel support" but i will try to find out as much as posible to configure a kernel with it.
jasper
Hi AndroidJaspie, i've the same problem with the optical trackball of my desire. I use the miui rom with the kernel 2.6.37.6-cyanogenmod-g8913be8. Can i use the kernel in your last post? thx bye
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks
Moving to Q&A
Mod Edit: Redirect Removed
Reserved for future use.
Also reserved for future use.
This is exactly what I was waiting for. Thanks rmk!
Edit:
The rom is great, finaly a sense 3.0 with landscape suport.
It feels very smooth.
Task manager shows about 100mb free.
Quadrand scores over 2000.
Excelent work!
Exciting! I can't wait to try this baby out! Seems like it just might take the spot as a new dd...
Thx for your awesome work, rmk and Virtuous!
@rmk you say this ROM is coming tonight? i live on the eastern front of the U.S. and its 1:40am right now, so what time is it for you? that way i know when itll be out
Let's goooooooo!!! This is awesome. All these new ROMs on/near the holiday. I have a feeling this could be better than Unity because it came straight from the MT4G with no resizing or anything needed. I could be wrong but doesn't that make it a little less prone to errors?

Hop on IRC and grab the link now. Just making sure it's 100% before posting here.
Just grabbed it... pushing it to the phone right now and will flash shortly...
line download ...
Restoring my apps and settings. Two things I noticed right away: I like the lockscreen options in Virtuous Unity better. There are no app launchers on the Doubleshoot lockscreen, and I can't choose a different type of lockscreen. I really like the Sense Weather lockscreen in Unity, but I can't seem to find the settings to change that in Doubleshot.
Download link is now available. You guys are free to mirror it and offer mirrored links in the thread (would actually help me).
1.0.0 never made it to XDA as I fixed 2 bugs and released 1.0.1 instead.
Enjoy!
Was going to flash Unity as my first ROM, but this looks just as enticing.
Blah!
The Power Options menu (when you hold down the power button) doesn't have all the settings I've come to expect. The Restart command also lacks any options (normal, hot, recovery, bootloader).
For those who want a custom boot animation, Doubleshot looks for it in /system/customize/resource/TMUS_bootanimation.zip now. My UOT Kitchem theme for Unity will not work with Doubleshot, so I'll have to live without my fancy battery meter for now.
I had a problem with wifi in Unity, where it would report that it connected to a null SSID on boot, and that signal strength was very poor. Turning wifi off and then back on again would bring things back to normal. It looks like Doubleshot does not have that bug.
Also, relock-on-trackpad is part of Doubleshot, which I love!
Could anyone post about the performance of this ROM? How many free RAM do U have after flash this one? Thanks again
mixed language
Thanks for the rom...Always a nice job
But it still has some english language in the UI when it's set to dutch....Hope you can fix it in the next version...
Thanks again and keep up your great work
best regards
Hi,
I like a lot both Unity & Doubleshot roms! But one issue boring me - is there any way to get more languages for hardware keyboard ?
PS. I'm ready to look into it if some one point me where to start from.
PPS. Please dont point me to ready about apk etc, look my signature 1st.
@rmk40 if I flash the dz hboot and ever wanna unroot my g2 can i just do in normally???
hey RMK.
Is there a way to get the Contacts widget back??
I may be biting off more than I can chew, but I would like to change the haptic feedback values on a sense rom similar to the way it is possible on cm7. Is this even possible?
Sent from my phone
I'm thinking you'd have to get into the scripts and change the value of the duration of the vibration. I couldn't tell you where to do it. My programming days are long over due.
Thanks I'm looking into it, but not getting very far quite yet.... I'll post something if I get my hands dirty enough.

Now that I have settled down with the hox, im ready to start installing custom stuff. However, since i am very busy with school work i dont really have time to explore myself (that comes summer time ) anyway i was hoping u guys could help recommend some different roms/mods that I can installt hat will suite my needs.I do like sense tho so I don't really want to go to vanilla android. Here are some things I would like:
1) toggles for wifi/data/brightness etc in notification pull down. either like how stock JB/ICS or the 2 finger settings pull down thing from JB. Is there any mod for like swipe across the top for brightness like in cyanogen?
2) autobrightness tweaks so its actually usable. right now auto is basically always on almost full brightness and its annoying.
3)any % battery mod and any way to get rid of beats/powersaver icons/ notifications?
4)any other battery tweaks/power saving mods would be helpful also. right now im getting like 12 hrs with wifi on and like 2-3 hrs of screen on
5) best swypesque keyboard? I like swype but the sense one is kidna inaccurate compared to the stock jb one i tried.
6) anything else i must have or a tweak that alot of people use etc.
7) any good free thd games that look/work well?
thanks in advance for any suggestions looking forward to this :fingers-crossed:
--
ps. can someone point me towards some guides to get started?

edit 2: i would also like lowered dpi/phtablet configuration, and has the multiscreen thing been ported from samsung? or maybe the qslide feature thing from LG
bump anyone? Also is there any mod/roms to lower dpi/ phablet configuration? On my g2x it was paranoid android.
Still nothing?? Can none helpa brother out?

Well your first issue is to root your mobile. Go on htcdev . Com and do it. After that use a tutorials from Android Development section of the but please - first read very carefully everything! If you have any questions- first ask them and after its clear to you proceed with next steps.
Try Blade ROM.
For your first question - its not presented at the moment in Blade, but it can be implemented in the future.
Keyboard - if you insist to be swypable- try slide it. It's payed...
The main good thing in Blade ROM is that the rom is stripped to the essential core and in addition there is a Aroma mods, and in which you can choose whatever you like it use mods, and tweaks and add ons.
Hope this will help you.
Regards.

Yes, I Blade is a Sense Rom. However there is a "desensing", script, and which removes almost all of HTC stuff - launcher, widgets, lockscreen, and etc.

Hey guys,
i was trying to merge for my personal use some files together to get working landscape lockscreen in Sabsa Prime 15.
I dont really know wich parameters allows the .apk to rotate... Any ideas?
Hey there
Accept my apologies for not giving developer advice, but if you wish to get a working landscape orientated ROM, I prefer the ViperDHD, I am using it as an everyday ROM, so far without any doubt, it is the best, sometimes it lags for a very little time, totally acceptable performance-battery life. Trust me, I am not an engineer :laugh:
