Android with HTC Sense for the vogue.

If your looking for Android with SenseUI for your Vogue then search for vilords fixed Tattoo build or jamezelles senseHero/senseTattoo builds. I have retired my vogue since I now own a HTC Hero. Thanks for everyone who contributed too and tested my android builds. Running android on the vogue has been a great experience.
Link to older/misc builds. Mostly older sdcard based squashfs builds. Some there are some jems in there and some oddities.
Thread and downloads for senseHero: The last sense build from me. Old style harret/squashfs.
default.txt parameters for tattoo/donut:
Code:
mddi.width=240 mddi.height=320 lcd.density=120
default.txt parameters for hero/magic htc sense ui and htc rogers builds
Code:
mddi.width=320 mddi.height=480 lcd.density=160

It works for me. I've been testing this build longer than anybody else and it runs fine for me with the clock, calender, and weather widgets running along with one or two programs open and animations turned on and it's smooth for me. This is a testing build and if your running a lot of programs and widgets then there are going to be lags and error messages. Most of the error messages are usually that the system is taking to long to respond and it will ask you to wait or force close. This is because your running a mobile os meant for a phone with higher specs it's going to run slower on the vogue. With help from vilord and mssmision I've tried to make this build as fast as possible. Android expects certain tasks to be executed in a certain time frame. If something takes longer than expected android will ask you if you want to force close the process or wait for it to complete. I run this build on a verizon branded vogue. Others have reported that it runs great on their vogues too and a couple others report that it runs slow. Also make sure you are using all my files and followed the directions at the top of the thread. Without any more information I can't be of any help. Thanks for testing my build.

is this port only for HTC vogue or can int run on other HTC devices like the Topaz ...?

when are you gonna release the full build your testing? i watched your video and got me very interested in trying android. couple of questions tho, do i have to erase my sd card or just have plenty of space on there for it to work? also, how do i edit the default.txt file? this is my first time here or even trying this so im a lil lost. much help would be appreciated

is there any chance it would work on HTC Touch Pro2? I try and it is freezing as soon as I Run, I see Go, Go, Go... and that's it :-(

Been waiting on this new one, hope you post it soon. Your last one's the best Hero build I've tried. Thanks for getting them posted.

I will definately switch to the Hero build but only once 320x428 resolution is supported... til then it's Mssmision Hero-Themed Cupcake for me... this release has super-potential but it simply hurts my eyes looking at squished/fuzzy icons all day...
Thanks Zenulator for all your hard work!

Update 8-5-09 12:13am est
If your coming here and your not using a vogue then your questions most likely won't get answered. Right now this works on most vogues and kaisers. I do not know if this works on any other device other than those and I am not going to be porting it over to anything else. If you want to try I suggest you ask in other forums specific to your phone.

just use the one from the 8-2-09 Hero zip then modify the following parameter to this: panel_type=3

THIS IS what my default.txt looks like, i put the number 3 in there, not sure if i put it in the right spot but when i click run, screen is white and flickering.
set RAMSIZE 0x08000000
set MTYPE 1667
set KERNEL zImage
set initrd initrd.gz
#
# The following kernel parameters are useful
# [email protected] - The username used to connect to the network when dialing #777
# ppp.password - The password used to connect to the network when dialing #777
# ppp.nostart - Set ppp.nostart=1 to disable starting the ppp connection on boot
# msm_sdcc.msmsdcc_fmax - The maximum frequency (in Hz) used by the SD controller
# pm.sleep_mode - The mode used when the phone is off
# 0=Power Collapse Suspend, 1=Power Collapse, 2=Apps Sleep,
# 3=Slow Clock and Wait for Interrupt 4=Wait for Interrupt
# Default is 3, use 0 for best power savings
# board-htcvogue.panel_type - Panel type used to power the panel off and on
# 3 1=Hitachi 2=Topoly 3=Samsung
# clock-7x00.mddi - MDDI clock (try 0xa51 or 0xe2c)
# clock-7x00.ahb_div - Advanced Host Bus divider, default is 4
# 2 is faster but uses more power
# clock-7x00.a11 - ARM11 clock speed in MHz, best to leave this alone
# lcd.density - Defaults to 160, 128 shows more on screen
# vogue-ts.XMIN - xmin value for the touchscreen calibration. Also YMIN, XMAX, YMAX, PMIN, PMAX.
#
# Probably the only one of these you will need to change is the panel type, NZ Vogues seem to all have type 1
# US Sprint vogues usually have type 2 or 3 I think.
# Make sure you add these between the quotes on the following line and that your editor hasn't split the line up.
set cmdline "ppp.username= ppp.password= mddi.width=320 mddi.height=480 msm_sdcc.msmsdcc_fmax=32000000 pm.sleep_mode=0 board-htcvogue.panel_type=1 no_console_suspend"
boot

Nope, you put it in the wrong spot. All the lines that begin with a # are just comments, and don't actually do anything. in the line that begins with "set cmdline" you need to change it to have "board-htcvogue.panel_type=3" instead of the "1" that you have in there now.

Im so annoyed by all these people who cant read, its great you helped them, but if they had taken 10 seconds to read what the default.txt tells them then they would have figured this out a long time ago. It even says:

It doesnt get much clearer.

Make sure you didn't hit <ENTER> in the 'set cmdline' line. That needs to be one full line of text. Maybe paste the last few lines of your default.txt again if that isn't the case.

The scrolling Linux console doesn't take any longer on Hero than it does on Ion. It's once the GUI comes up that you need patience.

I know, but you still should have patience with it. Mine hangs up at the volume part for almost a minute sometimes and that could make someone think its broken.

Tony Hawk Pro 2 Hardware rendering (NEW HD YouTube Video.Love your Touch Pro Again)!)

THPS2 in Hardware Mode. Touch pro users, Tweak Finalized.
This is my touch pro picture.
New HD YOUTUBE VIDEO NEW LINK ADDED
ok i have great news and bad news. Ill start with the bad news. you will need to download the hardware version. its the same as the soft version just with some tweaks for acceleration . now i must say i have tony hawk running on a touch pro with high graphics and hardware rendering on. no lag whats so ever. i cant beleive it.
If you have the Hardware Version then go ahead with the following.
Need the right version PM me. I do not have or give Warez. Just direct
Note: Remember Hardware and Soft version look exactly the same so theres really no way to tell the diffrence except in the size of the install. Hardware is Bigger.
Note 2. To see the 3rd DLL in the Dlls Folder Follow these directions on you windows PC. Enter the DLL'S folder. Press F10. a Menu bar will appear at the top of file explorer. Click Tools Then Foler option. then click view. under Hidden files and folders select Show hidden files and folders. Now you should see the 3rd hidden DLL.
Remember only this version and my tweaks will have this game Blazing i promise. Better than you ever played it on your phone.
Note: use file expoler and click Menu, then Check SHOW ALL FILES
1.Install to Storage card
2.Now you will have to move these 3 DLL's to your windows Directory and edit your registry as follows
3.HKLM/System/D3Dm/Drivers/Localhook Change to d3dm_ati.dll
4.Now in your THPS2 folder replace TH2_OPT with Mines
5.In Your THPS2 folder delete libgles_cm.dll
If you have libgles_cm.dll on your Storage card main directory delete it
Now open your keybroad and start Tony Hawk, Set you quilty setting to High EnJoy.
Mapping is a breeze. just go to options in THPS2 and set your values
Develpers who made this possible are : NuShrike, At0mAng, sakajati,iRiKi, and of course Me The Family. Cheers
Im upset there are people stealing my work on other sites and not giving credit where credit is due.

will it be playable with hw keyboard in landscape mode ? btw can´t wait :_)

Can't wait to test it.. really like the game.. I hope it is playable on a TP.. Keep up the good work..

Finally its a complished

If you have the Hardware Version then go ahead with the following.

@chefs: reward offer for "task-snoozing"

Dear Chefs,
thank you for all great work you have done so far!
I use the Energy ROM for about two months and I'm stunned about all the great features he provide.
However, there is one thing I can't stand: The lack of appointment- and task snoozing other then 5 minutes. This makes the remind function almost useless.
My German t-mobile branded TP2 (called: MDA Vario V) came with the option to snooze appointments and tasks by a selectable time. So I could choose remind me in one or half Hour for example or one day and many other options, rather than dismiss it over and over again every 5 minutes. This is really bugging me.
I found a fix from crackwhore but it seems to be not compatible with the current windows mobile 6.5 ROMs.
Because it is so important to me and, as I noticed, to many, many others I want to post a reward and invite everybody who want this feature to join me by posting how much you are willing to donate to the person who find a solution and share it with the community
A proper solution would be a fix that works for the latest generation of WM6.5 ROMs and it would be great to have it already cooked into the popular ROMs, including Energy ROM.
So if somebody finds a solution, everybody who joined me is asked to donate the promised amount to the person who provided the solution.
I start off with a offer of 10$
Feel free to join me and make suggestion.
And please be true to your word: Don't offer something you are not willing to donate.
Current Offers (25.10.2009 01:25 UTC):
10 US-$
and
0 €​

Why dont you ditch MS with another commercial application in the market? Couldn't you able to find one? I dont remember it but there was a program like this. Google it I suggest.

You can set the "reminder" time as any minutes/hours/days when you add an appointment. Am I missing something here?

NVM, I solved it! I was able to replace the new Notification.dll that handles the notification bubbles with an old, stock one. See the next post for the solution I made!
Question
Did your stock German ROM have the notification manager, where you'd click the taskbar, and it brings up that full screen? And also, did it have the skinned notifications, like the EnergyROM does? Please just describe exactly how the stock ROM handled the notifications, describe it visually.
Information
I researched this for 5 hours, and I was trying to do this: I wanted to make the Notification Panel remain (Full screen when you click on Taskbar), BUT, I wanted to use the standard Windows Mobile notification popups, because those allow you to snooze better. Well, that's not possible, from what I could tell. It's either all or nothing, you can't mix Microsoft's and HTC's notification system.
Solution
So, you have to disable the entire thing, which means you won't have the finger friendly notification system when tapping on the top taskbar. You can find the registry to disable Notification Manager here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4125405&postcount=3

Advanced Notifications Power Snooze Appointments!
I solved it!! It's CABbed up, and available on my website, Wingster.
Get your solution here: http://thewingster.com/advancednotifications.aspx
And if you want to donate, then follow the link on the bottom of my Wingster website, or use this link: https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id=5401195
Maybe I should have waited longer, for the bounty to increase! Nah, I did this mostly for myself, but it did end up taking 5 hours! I hate registries!
How I Created It
I found the old NotificationLayout.dll, and used that one for handling the notification bubbles! This brings back the old WinMo notification style popups, but it also keeps the finger friendly notification panel! Win-win!​

Imagine how fast the world is, I wish you could solve my break off with GF such a fast.
Have Fun, Cheers
Sunny

the solution that brings the old popups up, has been around since my touch x 6.0 and that is since december last year...
well well well......

Awesome. I had used the crackwhore one and it worked but this is better

FYI, crackwhore's is a better solution it doesn't eliminate the repeat function so what happens you get the alarm one time which was just as big a concern that I've had with some of the ROMs.

Lol dam. Wasted that effort for nothin? lol. Well we can add mine to the collection of CABs that do the exact same thing as the other

Hi,
sorry for the delay, but university was keeping me extremely busy this week.
However I'm glad you found a solution. It's so unimaginably convenient to be able to snooze the alarm!
However would it be possible to add some options? There is still room on the display for one option isn't it?
Very handy would be having options like four and twelve hours (half day).
I would rather surrender 10 minutes while already having 5 and 15 minutes.
(or maybe better: surrender 15 minutes while keeping 10)
However the current stage of development is already great and of cause I will stand my word of donating 10 bucks.
I invite everybody who like this fix to also support him since he was fair enough of not "waiting" for the bounty to increase first and he's doing a great job with his website anyway.
Best Regards, Time
PS: You are talking about other - already existing - solutions? I only found crackwhores fix and didn't get it to work. Well now I have a great one-click-solution I won't surrender ... would be just interesting to know.

By next week I will flash my ROM anyway so I could flash the stock ROM in between and check if that helps. Interested?

Yea, flash the stock German ROM, and see how that operates. It'd be very interesting if they kept the advanced snooze options while keeping the slick notification style too.
I think that editing the DLL's is impossible though, but I guess it'd be worth a try. My initial goal was to keep the skinned notifications but add the snoozing. That'd be the optimal goal, and I will try to see if that can be done!

Yourestarted your phone after installing it, right? Maybe his ROM has some different notification system...I could try to look into it if you can confirm it still didn't take effect after a restart.

Well.....
First, download This File, unzip it, and place the DLL in the \Windows directory of your phone.
Now, here's where it may be different, apparently. Using a registry editor (like PHM Registry), try to find the string that is called CustomUIDLL and contains NotificationLayout.dll.
That string key should be located under HKLM/System/Shell/Notification/OEM, however since the CAB didn't work, Valkyrie must have changed the location of the registry key. See if you can find it. Once you do, change the string value to: "NotificationLayoutOld.dll"
Hopefully that'll get it working!

OK.
Under HKLM/System/Shell/Notification/OEM i have one folder named "reminder" and 3 other items named "default", " customUIDLL", and "userdefaultUI"
if i click on customUIDLL the string already reads "NotificationLayoutOld.dll" ( iguess from when I applied the .cab file) so there is nothing to change!
Also here is a screenshot of the contents in the HKLM/System/Shell/Notification/OEM/reminder folder that I mentioned above
should i be editing the autodismissextendedduration file?
BTW I forgot to mention that when i install the cab file instead of "snooze' at the bottom bar I get the "menu' on the right and also another symbol on the left (like a phone with an 'x' next to it" but if i click on any of them the notification goes away and does not come back
So in essence the .cab works (because it points it to something else) but the location it point to, doesnt contain the necessary file to show up when you click on the the "menu' icon or the other icon that comes up SORRY I DIDNT MENTION THAT EARLIER BUT I WASNT AWARE OF IT TILL NOW.....

brand new xperia restart problem

well, it's not that bad but my phone restarts maybe once or maybe twice a day when it's not in use for hours(standby mode)
i noticed it restarting on its own for about 3x
and i know it also restarts whenever im asleep since i have pointui(not activated and not the panel version) installed and when i check my phone in the morning it's on the activation part of point ui (which appears everytime u reopen point ui)
it's just my 2nd week of using this phone.
i've installed some programs
and never modified it in any way (except xperia tweak)
here are the programs installed
1.xperia tweak
2. panels (facebook, working growing, skype, spb mobile shell)
3. finger keyboard
and i notice that active sync is always open after the phone restarts.
here's my device info
firmware - R24A GENERIC_UK
and btw the today timeout is off
can someone help me to troubleshoot my device
tell me if its a hardware or software prob

Remove Xperia Tweak. Try SK Tools, report back.

so my phone restart again even with the xperia tweak uninstalled.

The thing about both those programs is that they provide an interface to change registry values. Simply uninstalling/installing another won't modify those values that you have changed, assuming mtechfan was thinking along those lines.
I think the only clear way would be to hard-reset, then add apps/modify settings & document them, and leave a day between making more modifications to see how the phone behaves with them.
If you go that way, I'd suggest you look through the available ROMs and choose one with a good reputation for stability, and build on top of that.
Surprisingly (? - or not!) the stock ROMs are not the most stable.

I use Vista Business on my work laptop to flash the ROMs on my Xperia, so it *should* work fine.

DUAL OS chinese t5353

hi, does anyone know how to hard reset a t5353 Dual OS so that both Android and WM go back to factory settings?
i was able to do a reset on wm by going thru the settings and all but i'm having problems with android part of it.
HERE IS WHAT HAPPENED TO ANDROID OS!!!
i tried to calibrate the ANDROID screen and instead my finger, i used my stylus. It picked up my stylus during calibration but after that my screen stopped responding to any touch what so ever. i can press volume, windows, back buttons (or soft keys?) etc and they work just fine showing that the OS itself is working but it's not picking up anything on the screen. Actually, i did notice that when it is about to "sleep" and the lights get "dim", me touching on the screen wakes it up... any help would be appreciated....
i have tried the two of the following available HARD REST combination - neither one worked.
i also know that the touch screen itself is working because when i boot it in WM, the screen and everything else works just fine.
i've made a post in another thread but it's under WM area and my problem is with Android (for mods, just in case they think it's double posting--i'm sorry).

more info.
here is some more stuff that i've tried with the advice from adstrylight who was kind enough to spend some time on my problem

Android vs WM..
Which version of android do you have with your phone btw? Is it running from internal storage, or the sdcard(the easy way to tell this is if your SDcard contains a file called zimage or not)? I only ask as my phone originally came with android running from th SD, and was laggy/buggy beyond belief, and the latest version of A2.1 (the "fourth edition") is a world away in terms of stability etc.
Click to expand...

not sure but when it boots, it shows the android logo (monkey or bugg or whatever it is), then it shows SOHO 2, and then shows a screen with "android" written on it...
no Zimage on SDcard. My device did not come with an SD card either and there is only one slot ( that i can see ) and it has my own SD card from before (which does not contain zimage). i even did a search on my entire phone and did not find zimage.
adstraylight said:
Don't know where this came from, but did you try pressing the zoom bar bellow where it says 'ok'? I only did this once, a long time ago, but this thought just occured to me over dinner....
Click to expand...

yes, that is what i though initially. I was tapping all over the screen, trying to press "zoom out", trying to slide my finger towards "zoom out". I am not sure if it responded to me pressing over "OK" on the screen or "ZOOM OUT" or "CALL BUTTON" but it rebooted and did a hard reset. I was very happy at first only to find out that it only performed a hard reset on WM [very disappointing].

I think, this device not use zImage and use bootloader.

i'm not sure what that means... someone asked me in a different post if there was an external SD with a file named zimage... and my answer was that the device itself did not come with an SD card, i installed my own and it does NOT have zimage file.
thanks in advance for anyone who can help.

anyone? i'd really appreciate any ideas.

It could mean that you have a very different setup, or perhaps that it's an Android OS clone. Are you able to install apps through Android Market place ?

i "was" able to download apps from market place but since the screen does not respond to me "touching an icon", i cant really do much (nothing at all).
NOTE: the screen does however respond when the back light turns dim, me touching the screen wakes it up.

Mann i don't understand how no one knows the answer. All the hackers and crackers making big softwares available to everyone, and no one knows why android OS is not responding to touch????

Pardon?! You own a freaking clone which probably nobody else outside china owns and you are requesting any in deep assistance when nobody has the slightest knowledge about these fancy copy&paste devices?
Form you descriptions though, just to get that right... you had to calibrate your screen where you had to touch the 5 white boxes? If your Android installation is somehow a copy of the XDANDROID system which contains the touchscreen calibration app, then look for a file called "ts-calibration" on your device. Delete it and reboot into Android. (However that is done your device.)

1. thank you very much for your response. i will try to find the ts-calibration file and give it a try. i can upload the "rom" online, it says SOHO 2 when it's loading (if that helps?)
2. i think this device reboots like my samsung galaxy s, press and hold POWER and it asks you if you want to go in flight mode, power off etc.

i looked for this file, i actually did a search through my computer to see if i could find the "ts-calibration" but did not find it.
in WM section (using Resco Reg), i found a few .DLL files that had the word "touch" in them. One was "TouchRecognizer" and one was "touch.dll". i'm not sure which one exactly, but there were a few #s that changed after i did a caliberation ( on WM ). Is there a file in Android that's like that, maybe i could just copy those #s from WM into the .dll or something for Android?
thanks again for taking time to help.

No, you can't copy windows DLL to Android. I assume the only chance you have is searching the net, or some dedicated clone forums for the answer on how to reset your android installation.

Perhaps there is simply no Android?

I want to say, no working android.
Read and search in this topic, and you find custom roms.
Even with updated to 2.1 system.bin and data.bin android files.

thank you for your help. I have already been talking to some people in the link you just posted.
I've solved my issue by simply re-flashing it.
Thanks everyone who responded.
