This thread is dedicated to tweaking the HTC Sense homescreen so that it runs smoother. In order to do this, one must have access to the homescreen's source code. I don't remember signing a NDA with HTC, so I don't have it. The only other solution is to disassemble the code and attempt to reconstruct the original source code from that. To do this:
1. Extract /system/app/Rosie.apk from a deodexed update (like this one)
2. Inside of Rosie.apk is a file called classes.dex. This contains all the classes in dalvik byte code form. Disassemble it using DeDexer and convert the binary xml to text xml using AXMLPrinter2
3. You now have the source in an assembly-like format. Now you gotta painstakingly turn all of that source by hand into java. As of now there's no way to assemble it back into bytecode, nor a way to automatically turn it into java files. I could really use some help with this step! I've attached a copy of the disassembled code to this post.
Original post:
So I've tried all sorts of homescreens, but my favorite has to be the original. Launcherpro comes in close, but you can't beat the quality of the homescreen widgets that come with the stock Sense launcher. It's a shame you can't use these widgets with any other launcher...
Only problem with it is that it's just not smooth. It reminds me of my old Omnia! So I was thinking, could it be possible to take the Rosie apk, disassemble the dalvik byte code, and make some optimizations to make it run more smoothly. One thing off the top of my head is how LauncherPro reduces the quality of the graphics when scrolling by default.
Forget about feasibility, I already know it's doable. It's just a question of how much patience I have for digging through thousands of lines of disassembled code, and whether anything can actually be improved.

If you increase your virtual memory heap size it should improve performance. You can increase the vm heap size in your build.prop file from the standard 24m to 32m by either flashing one of the update.zip files that includes this, or by editing the build.prop file manually.

I've already tried this. However compare the stock homescreen to LauncherPro (or any other homescreen really). It's like night and day!

You did essentially ask a yes-or-no question (Is this feasible?), so to say that you won't accept "no" answers is rather strange.
He did answer you. Yes, he was a bit sarcastic, but he did answer you. And he's right.
Edit: And yes, I'm a Java developer. Have been for over 5 years. So I'm not just being "retarded".
The Sense SMS app is garbage, it chugs so bad when you try to scroll.
Well, I've managed to disassemble the dex files into dalvik "bytecode" using dedexer. It'll take a while to comprehend what all this does... does anyone know of a way to transform this into a java source file? The slideshow that the project linked to says there was not any, as of 2009. Any new developments?
This is essentially what I'm doing. The stuff on the left is the output, while the stuff on the right is my interpretation. I turn all that "assembler" into java classes, and I have a more-or-less exact copy (minus the comments) of the source code of the original app.

This is from an app I made just to practice the art of disassembly before I tackle the Rosie APK.
I've updated the OP with a copy of the code I have. Feel free to take a look at it and see if you can help me out/figure out a way to automate recreating java sources files from this.
Not to derail the thread.. but it would be nice if google would freaking release GPU acceleration for general purpose use in android..
Gingerbread please...
GPU acceleration in the UI would be EPIC, I'd pay for it.

I had no idea that GPU acceleration wasn't already in Android. Anyway, I don't think that's why this thing runs so slow, since other launchers are buttery smooth (like launcherpro) even without GPU acceleration.

Gingerbread is supposed to make custom skins (like Sense) obsolete, so this project will be pointless by the end of the year... assuming we get the update at all (this phone just barely makes the minimum spec)
But see, Sense is buttery smooth for me.
Yep, sense is smooth enough for me..espically with the manup evo theme

For me, it isn't... i'd say 30fps at the most, usually less and sometimes as low as 10fps. In comparison, launcherpro runs at 60fps all the time, occasionally dropping as low as 40-50fps. There's no comparison. I want that level of performance on the default homescreen, since it looks nicer than launcherpro and is more tightly integrated with the other apps.
You know what? It may just be a fps cap that makes it run so relatively sluggishly... I'll have to look into that.
How are you measuring what fps the launchers are running at?
Just guesses. It's fairly obvious that HTC sense it NOT running at 60fps. I remember back when I was developing andromnia (a port of android to the omnia) that there was an option to show a fps counter. You know where I can get that in 2.2?
I'm a bit confused. If launcherpro is running @ 60 FPS how can there be a cap.
I didn't think we had a cap since we don't have hdmi out.

I was talking about the sense launcher (and other HTC apps for that matter) possibly being capped, not launcherpro.
Now that I think about it, all HTC apps are a tad sluggish compared to android apps...
I mean, take a look at apps that have a scrollable list. Buttery smooth scrolling. But an identical HTC app with a scrollable list runs kinda sluggishly, don't you think?
Maybe I can dig out my camcorder and make a video that'll show you people the difference. I wonder if it records at 60fps...
Sense mms is laggay as **** too.

So, from what i understand, these roms modify the different parts of the phone by reducing size, optimizing the apks and whatnot. Would it be benefical/possible to completely remove sense, and use a different home replacment like GDE or something along those lines. Would that provide a better experience as far as speed and smoothness goes without sense running?
Just some ponderings.
yes. if you use any of the ROMs labled AOSP they dont have sense or you can go to settings, applications, manage applications, HTC sense and clear defaults then hit the home button it will give the option to use HTC sence or Home and you can choose home. will it increase the speed? yes some. but in my opinion why did you buy a hero if you dont want sense? that is what makes this phone great. if you didnt want it you could have bought a moment.

I work in best buy mobile, i've seen the limitations if the moment many many times. The got the hero not for the sense ui, but i didnt want a keyboard, and even tho the specs might say its slower then the moment, its not the case. After time the moment starts to feel really cheap.
Either way, have you seen some of the home replacments? they are far more esthetically pleasing then the sense ui. Sure sense is great, im not knocking it, but my purpose in rooting and trying different roms is to get the fastest possible experience out of my hero.
I never though to completely remove rosie and use the default. like i said, just an idea i was kicking around, looking for input/suggestions.

please dont think I was trying to flame you I was more giving my opinion than anything. I have tried pretty much all the different roms out there. and I guess I just like sense. Probably more for the widgets than anyhting. Yes I have tried some of the home replacements. and with the various themes that are out for them they can be pretty nice. out of all of them I would say Panda home would be my favorite as it gives you the option to have up to like 11 screens which only having the 3 screens on vanila android for me just isnt enough.
as far as roms go I would have to say that my favorites would be Fresh 1.1 and if your really looking for a really fast almost bare bones rom with sense try TTG 1.6 its just as stable as fresh but does seem a bit faster.

I agree with you on that, its actually what im running right now, TTG 1.6. I love it. I have an app for switching to the default home and was fiddling around on it, but i love the 7 screens much better then 3 with the different ones, but i forget which one it was, but it lets you completely customize the entire home screen, everything from the shortcuts at the bottem to how many icons it allows. But if sense is more stable, i'll prob just stay with that.
I think regular home is lame. Sense is tight, takes up more memory, because its tight. 2.1 looks even sweeter. It's all opinion, and taste though. I tried a bunch of theme apps, and thought they sucked. I used bar control to put an icon for home on my bar, to get three extra screens for shortcuts only, and use 7 sense screens for htc's uber sick widgets.

only have i reset the phone, not it going to sleep. if that happens i just have to take off the widget and put it back
first things first i take no credit for the app being used to do this. im just posting this so everyone knows how to do it.
our screen has a little too much blue. i noticed this while in best buy comparing to a nexus s. so lets fix it!
first things first. i have only tested in CM7 pre beta.
--update--
thanks everyone for testing it. it does not work on anything other then cm7 even if you use his tutorial in the link!
-----------
1) install CM7
2) download this app. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/9780975/Calibrator-5.1-CM6.apk
3) copy app to /system/app with root explorer or terminal.
4) set permissions (chmod 775 in termianl)
5) reboot
6) look in your app drawer and enjoy.
side note - this disables the default CM7 render FX
all credit goes to storm99999 on his original post for the nexus one. (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=745248)
okay so on the top here, there is a real life side by side (thank you photoshop). you can tell which has more blue

down here i have 2 actual screen shots taken within android. you can see the yellow image is corrected. and the white one is uncorrected. our lcd has a little to much blue and this is a nice little fix. here you can really see the effect but it doesn't look right on your "correct" computer monitor
Pretty! Totally doing this!!!
So does this work better than the built in CM7 render FX? (I've never used CM7 so I dunno what this render FX thing is capable of anyway )

i actually have a post about just that in the general section. i think yes because you have total customization. where as default is only presets. the n1 calibrated setting has a hair too much yellow but its not bad if you dont wanna go thought the trouble of doing this. imo this is a game changer for me. the screen is so much more comfortable to look at now.
This should probably have been put in themes and apps, not dev honestly. That aside, im sure this will help some of the crazies people that have issues with the screen

That's cool, I never knew you could alter the coloring. I've always noticed that some yellows on my screen looked kinda green, especially in Fruit Ninja, so thanks for the find!

im going to take a min. to explain the screen shots in more detail. the one on the right is without color correction. the one on the left is with blue turned down slightly. now with these settings the phones colors look correct. where as without them the display is quite cold. the reason it looks yellow on your monitor is because the colors on your monitor are "correct" in a sense. we are correcting the lcd it self and its over presence of the color blue. where as your computer monitor you are viewing this from is most-likely balanced correctly where as the corrected image looks yellow due to the lack of blue. understand? im going to try to post a real world picture.

The zip file is a cwm package but is just an update to the app the installer apk is the second to last file in the first post of that thread.

Welcome to Fourth Bar: Revolution! I recently decided to return my Gtab back to stock and was rather surprised at how terribly it ran compared to Cm9, so I did what anyone would do. I decided to make my own version and speed it up!
Built with speed, stock features, and smoothness in mind!
Fourth Bar: Revolution
UELPL (US) Base
Android 4.0.4
Stock TW Experience
Init.d Support
Rooted
Superuser
Busy Box
Incredibly Smooth
Incredibly Fast
V6 Supercharged
CM9 Keyboard
OTA Updates
Zipaligned
Google Now
Face Unlock
Removed Ads
Apex Launcher (Jellybean Based)
Better Touchscreen Sensitivity
I/O Speed Tweaks
Lagless Netflix & Youtube
(Note: Ebooks, Social Hub, Samsung App Store, and TW Music have been removed)
This Rom utilizes the OTA Update Center in order to provide simple and easy updates to you tablet. When an update is ready for your tablet, you will be presented with a notification letting you know. If you see on the forum that there has been an update but you haven't received a notification, simply reboot your tablet to force a check.
Please note, this is my first creation for the Gtab 10.1
I may not have every bug worked out, but I haven't found any yet!
If you find any, please let me know!
If you enjoy my work, please hit the THANKS button!
I always think its very important to let people know what the Idea is behind a project, even if it is just a Rom. There are decisions made in creating this that I feel people should know about. First off, you'll notice that the TouchWiz launcher has been done away with in favor of Apex Launcher. Aside from being an extremely customizable experience, Apex Launcher is built on the base code of the Android 4.1 launcher. This allows the launcher to function very smoothly and quickly.
Next, you'll notice that the TW Keyboard has been replaced by the CM9 Keyboard. In any system the keyboard plays an intricate role in the way that the user interacts with the software. If found the TW keyboard to be laggy and slow causing many typing errors.
An Aroma installer will be available soon in order to customize your experience! Expect to be able to add back in missing TouchWiz apps soon!

How the #(@! did you get the transitions so freaking smooth? What are those? No way they're the jellybean ones. Just no way because those lag waaaay to much. HOW!!?!??! Its like a whole new tablet! Thanks man!
So just pushed an OTA Update (I've stopped it now)... but the included Apex Launcher update isn't working well at all. It only said that 1 person (me) downloaded it but if you did happen to download it and your apex launcher is messed up now just send me a pm and I'll get you fixed up.

Wow this is really smooth.
One thing though is that Apex Launcher shows there's an update, but it looks like you can't update it from the Play Store.
Yeah I figured I'd take a shot at this as I've been running CM9 for a while now... this is really freakin' smooth and the touch screen is definitely more sensitive. I'm really diggin' it.
Honestly I don't know what else I would request... I did notice the same issue as stated above with trying to update Apex from the Play Store though. I wonder if it's compatible with any of the custom Kernels out there? Not that it needs overclocked, but USB charging and custom boot animation would be pretty awesome (if they aren't already included... I haven't tested yet though).
I definitely have to say... Thank you for this bad ass ROM!

The latest Apex Launcher update is actually messed up for 10.1 tablets right now. I'll push the updated one in an OTA Update when its fixed. I preset some of the launcher settings so it won't allow you to update manually from the play store.
Any custom Stock Kernel should work fine. I haven't messed with any kernel setting. Overclocking this thing should make it fly! As for a custom boot animation, I haven't even tried to figure out how to change it yet. I mainly just focused on getting everything to run faster and better! Lol. Let me know if you figure it out!
I'm glad to hear the positive feedback!
As for the p7500... I'll take a look at what it would take to make it work. But don't expect anything anytime soon. I want to get the Wifi version working perfectly first.

Yoda's kernel makes this Tab really fly at 1.64GHz with this ROM.
Awesome ROM!
Bro pls integrate a good kernel with this rom. It can help the performance in many ways.
It can also help in clocking and volting. You know better.
Just a suggestion dude.

Actually, I do know better! Some people don't actually want a custom kernel... they just want a stock one. If you want to have a different kernel you can easily download and flash one. I've tried both Yoda's and A1. They both work well and really make the tab fly! I usually clock up to 1.2 with ondemand.

Wipe System, cache, and dalvik cache. If that doesn't work then try and re download.
Yeah that's good too...
You better mention this in the opening thread... Else this might be only discussion in the following pages.
' kernel choices left to users' - tag line ll be good I think.
Just a suggestion again. Or you may not get other development suggestions and requests.

UPDATE:
The download for the Digital Rain boot animation is now a link to the general non carrier specific HTC One themes section. It is more comprehensive and up to date with a few extras. Here is the link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2357926
Haven't had a lot of free time due to work and family, but I managed to rework the infamous Call of Android boot I made a few years back. It is tailored for the HTC one but I can upload an unbranded version for anyone interested in making their own device specific boot. I would say this is what the boot animation I created a few years ago should have looked like but I didn't have the software at the time.
I also present a Matrix style digital rain boot specifically made for the HTC ONE. This one was a little more time consuming and took the better part of 3 months to finish... Apparently it's extremely difficult to find a good quality Matrix font online, it's pretty much non existent. So I made the font from scratch and including it in the attachments for ****s and gigs. Keep in mind that the font is not complete and only has 96 characters. The uniformity is also not consistent between each glyph as I was making this for video/boot animation purposes and not daily use.
Here are a couple gif's to get you started and the attached files. There are mp3's attached as a zip for anyone interested in matching audio. I am not going over the instructions on how to flash/copy/overwrite the necessary files to install these animations as there are plenty of tutorials already explaining the process.
DISCLAIMER:
Any questions, ask. Anyone interested in using it for their rom/project/different device, that is perfectly ok, you have permission too. All I ask is that you give credit where credit is due and hopefully link back to this post for others.

Digital Rain Downloads (UPDATE):
Since this seems to be getting more attention in the unbranded HTC One forum, here is a link to the Matrix Digital Rain boot. I have it kept up to date and added a few extra things to it.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2357926
**NOTE**
If you have any problems downloading the zips from the links above, try a right click on the link and selecting "save as".
If your sound does not work after flash, most likely you will need to add a small snippet of code to an xml file. It's easy, just follow the directions below.
Adding audio:
On your phone use a file manager to browse to the folder: /system/customize/CID
Open the xml file contained in the directory with a text editor. Once opened, scroll down till you come across some text regarding bootanimations. The text will look something similar or exactly like ex:
Code:
animation="/system/customize/resource/NAMEOFBOOTANIMTION.zip" />
All you need to do is add a line of text and save, ex:
Code:
animation="/system/customize/resource/NAMEOFBOOTANIMATION.zip" [COLOR="Red"]audio="/system/customize/resource/NAMEOFAUDIOFILE.mp3 />[/COLOR]
As a bonus, the woman in red splash image and flashable zip.

Surprised that there has not been more excitement about these, manually replacing files is easy, but took extra step to create flushable zips. They look awesome, work perfectly! My preference is the Blue. Good job here

Well, it seems to be getting more exposure over in the HTC One (non carrier specific forum). I'll edit this main post with the link since I seem to be keeping it up to date more so than this thread.
These are great! thanks
Digital rain boot animation looks sick on my HTC one. Great job.

Cool nice to see other people doing animations... oh yeah just some quick advice about the digital rain one it desperately needs some knoll light factory...Would look much cleaner. Its an after effects redgiant plugin just some advice.Either way nice man.
Pneuma's in the house, hell yeah

I haven't used the knoll light factory yet... Will check it out, nice to see others who have experience with AE. :good:
I wanted the slight blur/low resolution look on the rain in the animation, I was trying to get it similar in feel to the Matrix intro and noticed it had a very similar grainy low-res look to it. I am still going to check out knoll and see what it's all about.

low res but oh well - 1:31 in youll see...
Yeah Redgiant makes some cool plugins if you want to remove the red X cough youtube... Yeah the only thing id say about that is: they did the matrix fly in at high res with 3d cubes to make up pixels it was either a well written expression or autodesk one of them you take your pick. Think it could be done with the holomatrix plugin now but I dont think that plugin was around then. Not exactly sure. But yeah thats why the pixels appear to have so much depth to them its how they created a 3d space to a 2d environment is with 3d pixel effect essentially.. They made the models move with expressions and null objects and then warped them in after effects. Its more of a warping of the cubes bending into code, thats what i remember at least. There are several variations lol what with 3 movies and all. The end flare when it warps into "pseudo reality" would be super easy replicated in klf as well as magic bullet looks has a matrix look i think youll like also...In KLF they also have resolution settings for you lights so no worries there and they may even have a preset of that flare Glad you shared man I like it...:good:

[email protected]#, balls man. After checking the plugin out the other night, got to say it would have made this a bit easier to do instead of a white solid overlay with a couple masks. Thanks man, glad to have more ways to simplify and make **** look clean when making these. Pretty interesting info about how they rendered the 3d effects for the intro, even if it was a pixel shift/warp effect, still good information to have for the future. I've been messing around with blender for 3d, little rough around the edges for an interface, but it works... for now. Any software suggestions or recommendations on the 3d end? I've been contemplating Cinema 4d or 3ds Max

Yeah man I hear that figured you'd like it: I've found that maxon has a much easier interface I've always thought that for some reason. Try some c4d: much simpler. And aftereffects CC has the new cineware engine in it (ie, renedering engine built into cinema4d) from maxon so yeah the two softwares will forever be interconnected from now on at least as far as adobe says. Which I love btw Currently I have autodesk 3dsmax installed as well as c4d and blender but I've never opened the other two except blender once to convert a model into .obj lol. Now I just got riptide so I can do it in c4d. Yeah I've found that most of the gurus use them as paired software. And crackanug also check out andrew kramers videocopilot element 3d it allows you to use trapcode form as a model overlay base essentially in after effects. Willing to help you attain that if you want hmu on gtalk [email protected]
And @ yeti glad you did to lol...I only try to persuade people who I think actually have promise, skill, ambition, Love to see the community grow with true talent.

As soon as I get some free time after this week (moving) I will check out c4d. Needing something other than blender, like you, all I used it for was converting things to an obj and maybe an extrusion for a simple 3d design from a vector drawing. I'm watching the videocopilot vids during some downtime at work, pretty impressive so far. I've watched some of the other tuts, but usually only when I am stuck or need help with some ideas. I'm def interested in learning from like minded individuals and getting new ideas, knowledge and tips. You see a message from letthemfear on gmail, it'll be me. Just a heads up, I work midnights so my schedule is usually a mess.
Now make me something pretty

Today I tried downloading the trial software but Chrome blocked it saying that [iconPackGenerator.zip] is malicious. How come?
I've been looking for something like the WidgetsMaker for some time now. I just tried it out, and I think you've got a good platform, but it needs to be expanded. Every widget does clock and weather. What we need are email, sms, calls (/missed/log), news, system info, stock quotes, other social apps.., location, and so on - all the things people use other widgets for (Ability to add java code or some kind of programmability straight to the widget is going to be necessary to really take off with this). Then I can actually build an interface. Otherwise it's always going to be difficult to get a consistent style using widgets coming from many different sources. Next you need a real user interface. It's very primitive as it stands. I've got a few ideas on this if you're looking for feedback.
Im sorry but I emailed you guys plenty but no response.

I purchased the software for 40$..... You can't implement any ads except the Startapp which also comes with their old SDK, make your app suspend......

I realy love it. We buy the Icon Pack Generator license today but the license is not working. It say the license is invalid. Please check.

If you think that adding in AirPush into your app is a good idea. You're a ****ing sellout. AirPush is the worst kind of ads and will most likely get your app uninstalledby 95% of users.
is this app considered spam??
edit: Yes it is. it has a crapload of "offers"you have to decline to or get adware installed if you're not careful
BUT looks like it also has LeadBolt. which has been used by CSR Racing, Farmville 2 and other larger developers. So his ad infrastructure is not that old
as in regards to the app..(since everyone here was afraid)..it works fine and doesn't look malicious. It's just the BundleWare during Setup you have to watch out for.
