searching for ROM - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi
So I have rooted Desire and I'm searching for ROM, I like stock GB roms, especially lock screen and screen where you can see all apps, but otherwise I love Sense UI.
Is there combinated rom?

http://forum.xda-developers.com/search.php?searchid=89685112

I'm using this ROM it's really fast and I love it, but can I change sense lockscreen to stock android? Is this possible?
Navigate to system>app Search for htclockscreen.apk and select it Rename the above file extension to .apkp (its easy to rename back to .apk in-case it troubles you) Finally reboot your phone

A nice rom
You can try this one:http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...8#post12995138
It's nice and fast!

Flash some and try. It depends on personal preferences which rom is the one for you.

Nexus like navigation panel?

Is it possible to change Hero Sense navigation panel ( the one which is in the bottom, like semicircle ) to one that Nexus has? Or even android standard one?
You can change to android stanard very very easy without doing any modification of your phone.
Go to your apps list and select "htc sense" or "touch flow" whichever is what you see and then click "clear defaults"
Then press the home button.
At this point it should give you an option to go home with either "home" or "touchflow" click home and you have default android. But will not have any of the htc specific stuff e.g. widgets.
You can always revert back by clearing defaults in "home" in app screen (assuming you set it as your new default)

Yes it's possible to add the Nexus One style launcher. However, I believe it'll only work with 2.X roms.
THANKS TO: REVOKED
Download LAUNCHER2.APK
Then:
adb remount
adb push Launcher2.apk system/app
Voila!
If it doesn't work, rename it to Launcher, and it'll just wipe it over the top.
If you have any problems, let me know and I'll sign it as an update.zip for you.
BE WARNED THOUGH: Due to the demanding graphics, although it strangely runs MORE smoothly than the stock Android 2.1 launcher, it can on occasions cause your phone to SOFT reboot.
Happy to help!

Actually the modifications to Launcher2 to make it work on mdpi devices were done by me... Says so at the source posted by jnwhiteh .
couldn't install it on Modaco 3.2 Beta 5
Thanks for the Launcher2.apk. It's working wonderfully on my GSM Hero running KaguDroid 1.2.1.

No need for that, just copy to sd and install it with a file manager or with adb install from your hd.
To remove go to Settings:Applications and remove it from there.

No development until we can figure out what exactly is breaking and we can fix that... hopefully itll fix itself next month when we get HTC 2.1 framework.
I have been using it since yesterday afternoon with no problems (cept when I tried to use the Nexus One Live paper and got stuck in a reboot loop ) Awesome work man, now my phone feels like it has 2.1 on it!

no the SlideMeRoot 5r1 but you mighty need ubuntu that's what i used. first rename the rom i just added 2 at the end
in ubuntu i deleted a fie in the bin folder (logwarpper) from SMR5r1 rom
flash the rom (renamed) then flash the regular rom (no wipe)
note: download the regular rom and put on SD first
EX: slideMeRood5r1 regular
SlideMeRoot5r2 renamed
hope im clear sorry
Eh, don't do all of that. Just change your Theme (press your menu key at the desktop screen, then select "MyModes", then "Change my Theme") to Nest. It already has the bubbles removed on the latest Slidemeroot5, but the theme has to be Nest. You can change the background after you change to that theme.
I only removed it on the Default theme, as I knew people was going to say ( But, I liked the Bubbles!! )

I'm not sure how anyone can like the bubbles... they're so obnoxious. Makes the screen too cluttered-like, but what do I know - all personal preference I guess.

the stock nest theme is in system/framework its com.htc.resources.apk.. you can pull this from one of his slidemeroms and push it to your rom and itll have them removed. If you want to do it the hard way, you pull that file from your phone, open it up, all the png files in it that say container in the name are the bubbles. replace bubbles with a blank icon named the same.

Just realized that the file is invalid, I'm working on recovering it as we speak.
Here, it should work now, just open metamorph and select unzip/extract new theme and select ICS_theme_2 from wherever you saved it to.

1. Unzip the theme to a folder in your sd card
2. Go to market and install the metamorph app.
3. Use View attachment UniversalAndroot-1.6.2-beta5.apk to root your phone if you are not root already, or my advice-if you have the time for it-is to install a custom rom.
4. Enable USB debugging in settings-applications-development.
5. Open the metamorph app that you installed earlier.
6. Tap "pick existing theme"
7. Navigate to the folder that you unzipped the theme to, and then select the "ICS_theme_1.0.xml" file to let metamorph know how to use the theme.
8. Follow the prompts and when it reboots, just let it, as it needs to reboot to edit system files, much like chkdsk on windows.
9. Enjoy! This theme has a black statusbar and holo buttons much like the ones in ICS -correction- they are the original buttons, taken directly from the source! Give me feedback if you think there is anything missing
P.S. I am working on a video tutorial on how to install cyanogenmod, so if you are having trouble rooting your phone, then it will hopefully help.

Hey dude, I was rooted already running an gingerbread build, the launcher that comes with the rom was launcher2, just wanna ask if your ICS theme could also be use on that rom. thanks in advance.
It will likely work on almost any ROM, but some elements might not be themed, best of luck!:fingers-crossed:

Yeah bro, I tried it but nothing change, I used the metamorph.apk from market and followed what you have said, but I think its not suitable for the rom I'm using.
But thanks for the help you given me... :good:
you might need to adjust the reboot timeout in metamorph settings, so that it doesn't reboot in the middle of the operation.
You might try ninjamorph, but no promises. What ROM are you using? If you want, I can email you a copy of the one I know it works for.
now on cm 6.1 stable

hello bro, sorry for the late reply, recently I tried it on EzGingerBread but it failed when I apply it nothing happen but now I'm on CM 6.1stable (I don't want gingerbread builds I find them so slow on my phone) thanks in advance.
That's funny, I just moved to ezgingerbread. I'm not actually finding it that slow with the ram hack. I literally flashed it about 15 minutes ago, and this was sent using it. By the way, I found that It only really worked for the rom i had included the name of in the xml file. I'm working on bringing holo to gingerbread as we speak though....

Oh, you just flashed ezginger while me I also flashed a few moments ago this new rom I newly discovered also a froyo rom its pre-themed ICS rom named froyo cream sandwich I forgot who post this but its nice superb, Im now testing it.
Send me a link, that sounds awesome! However, is it compatible with the ezterry ram hack?
Yes it is, its themed by darinx (probably butchered his name) there are two ROMs actually, one based off froyo by Laszlo and one of dream team froyo, two of the better froyo builds for the dream
Check the dev threads and youll find it within the first few pages
Also andisa (probably butchered his name too) made a great ICS theamed version of ezgingerbread that all includes some additional tweeks, I don't believe he ever created an xda thread but I can find you the link if your interested

DREAMWAVE sorry for the late reply, here is the complete link for that rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1568486
Just want to ask what was the things you did to make G1 still great even with live wallpapers under the gingerbread version?? heheh,,,thanks in advance,,,
what I did to speed it up was remove some apps that were running in the background, such as dialer, which was taking up a solid 7mb of ram all the time. I now have a pretty consistent 42mb of ram while at my launcher, adw ex. While it won't beat any phone at a benchmark, it will run quite smoothly while flipping between launcher pages. Try using swap and a task killer, I am using smart ram booster and have the widget situated over the clock on the statusbar for whenever I want a quick boost in speed.

Even still, that might be your best bet if nobody replies with it. S5 browser is pretty much the S4 browser, and you can choose not to install anything but that if you wish... Just a fallback idea, even if it is downloading 1.5GB for a few MB worth of apk's lol.

I'd really hope you'd be able to find the browser without having to d/l that huge file if you really don't want anything else other than that... but if you decide to go that route, just flash in recovery and follow the Aroma script. It's towards the end. Who knows, you might flip past something that catches your eye while scrolling through the pages.

I don't know what dependencies the stock browser needs, but the apk for the browser is simply SBrowser.apk. If that works, then you have the stock browser. If it doesn't, then you are missing other files that are required.
The file I referenced has these files also for just the browser:
/framework/webviewchromium.jar
/lib/libsbrowser.so
/lib/libsbrowser_ext.so
/lib/libswev8.so
Just find those files in the HyperDrive ROM, copy them to /system/app for SBrowser.apk, /system/framework for webviewchromium.jar, and /system/lib for the .so files. Once copied, open each one's properties individually in whatever file browser you used to copy the files and change the permissions to 644 and reboot.

Not unless you can find a flashable zip. And as far as I know, the only flashable zip that has any Samsung browser for 4.4.2 is the one I mentioned... But it also has like 100+ other mods you can choose not to install. It would be much less time consuming to just rip the files from another ROM that had them already; but wait time aside, selecting that one option in that mods pack is the easiest lol. Puts all the right files in the right spots and sets all the right permissions.

Right. It's just a collection of modifications like themed signal bars, battery icon modifications, S5 apps, boot animations, kernels, things of that sort. You just scroll through the pages, select what you want and install... There is an option for "nothing" on each page, then install. As far as a link, i'm on bed now and don't really know how to grab it from the app, just look in the themes and apps section. It's one of the only active threads there, so it's at the top "The Sickness Modz V5"
