Latest Sense UI Rom for Nexus One

Hello Xda Developers!
I was told to come here to post my question. I'm a Nexus One user, who is about to load Sense UI on his standard factory shipped N1. I'm going to use a guide from Anroid Central, which I'm happy with.
My question, is when it comes to chosing a ROM to load on my device. How do I know which one is the latest/greatest/safest? There are many links to Sense UI Roms on the net, and most date back to Feb 2010. Surely in 4 months a more recent version has been released than early Alpha versions.
Is there a version control site, with links/reviews anywhere, or is it just a case of download it and if it doesn't brick your handset then you found a working one.
Thanks for the advice in advance.
Jim.

Don't know if this is the best or not
but it worth a try
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=636048&highlight=desire
Its A port of sense ROM from Desire Phone
Which is very similar to the N1
And its build by Modaco Which is a very great person I think

I believe Modaco's is the latest. He planned on releasing a Beta but I don't think he ever did due to FroYo.

Cool, thanks for the feedback guys.

Have you tried it?

OK I've just loaded it, and it just loops on the HTC Quietly Brilliant boot up screen, any suggestions?

Wipe the phone and reflash. Make sure you have a 2.1 radio.

Thanks for the reply, can you please explain in more detail, I am a n00b to flashing phones. Thanks in advance.

Hi sorry, let me provide more information to where I'm at. I unlocked and rooted my phone. Did the backup, when I went to load the Sense UI rom, I got to the white loading screen and it looped there.
Since this I have found a FroYo Rom and have successfully loaded it. So I'm back to where I started, but at least my phone isn't a brick. I'm after a good working Rom or advice on how to get that other one to load. Many thanks in advance peeps.

Kingklick's Nexus2Desire 1.1 is the newest and fastest the I know.

Again, from recovery, wipe the phone, then install the rom.

It should be as simple as wiping everything and flashing the ROM, it really isn't that complicated.

Cool! Got it working guys. Had loads of issues using Modacos Roms, seems to be just me, but then loaded on
Release Name: KiNgxKxNexus Desire2Nexus
Release Version: 1.1
And worked like a dream, no issues at all, good speed. Yeah sorry, the instructions were clear, I was just freaking out a bit coz I thought I'd bricked my phone.
Sense is a far superior OS, except one thing which really bugs me, if you use the unlock pattern, you are forced to swipe first to unlock, which you don't on standard android, if this is the 2nd release, surely they would have fixed this by now? Any one know of any hacks to bypass this?
Thanks for all your help.

Can someone post a Deoxed 2.2 OTA zip

I downloaded the OTA and rooted, but cant seem to download the files i need to Deoxed my phone. has anyone already done it? It would be much appreciated.

I tried the manual instructions to Deodex but it didnt work for me

The day the OTA came out birdman tweeted that he is working on it, just give him a little time

BTW, where the hell can I follow Birdmans blog?

I installed TBH 2.3.15(deodexed) over top of the 2.2 OTA. Everything has been fine for me.

if you download the one that is in rom manager it is already deodexed and it is ota rooted. it works pretty good for me so far except it keeps trying to download a diff update and it always says that the download has failed. other than that works really well.

That's because the "Stock" 2.2 on ROM Manager is actually the original 2.3.9 leak and not the actual OTA 2.3.15 released on Sept 22nd.
The 2.3.15 deodexed "leak" through TBH is just that, the "leaked" 2.3.15, not the official OTA.
Be a little patient and wait for the real deal deodexed 2.3.15 OTA that is absolutely coming very very soon.

+1. I used the TBH app and installed the deodexed R2D2 leak over the OTA 2.2, and it's working great!

Maybe I'm missing something...

That would be the pre-OTA leaked test build of 2.3.15 which has been deodexed and provided through TBH's app. There are reports that people are installing this over the official OTA without issue, but I'm personally waiting for a deodexed copy of the true OTA as I have found the OTA to be preferable to the leaked 2.3.15 I was running before going OTA (in every respect except for the stupid OTA forced screen lock BS).

Can you quantify other differences? I've seen a lot speculation (me included) about which one is better, but no hard data.
I've using the leaked .15 and have had zero problems.

Truthfully I'm hard pressed to come up with any actual evidence in favor of one or the other. Based on my personal, subjective experience I've found the official OTA to be smoother, more responsive and more stable. When using the new universal rockplayer on all of the leaks there were typical formats (mainly xvid encodes) that wouldn't work correctly even though the older v7 rockplayer played them fine. With the OTA, the universal rockplayer no longer has these problems.
I've never really had any force close issues I can attribute to any of the updates (the only FC's I've run into throughout have been because of websites issues in Dolphin HD). I feel that many of the FC issues people experience may have more to do with the apps themselves than with the system.
I never had any market issues with any of the releases so I can't speak to that aspect (I've always used Beesley's build.prop mods including the current one for the OTA so I don't believe that to have an effect on anything).
My linpack and quadrant scores have been consistently higher with the OTA than with the 2.3.9, 2.3.13 or 2.3.15 leaks (though all that speaks to is a theoretical benchmark score and not much real value). That could be giving me a placebo effect, making me feel like it is more responsive just because there's some numbers evidence (even if the numbers are total BS, lol). I consistantly get mid 14's in linpack and mid 14's in quadrant where with the leaks I would really only hit high 13's in each (even with FlyX and Tranquility which I am currently not messing with until birdman tweets that things are set with the OTA and FlyX). I'm trying to stay safe since OTA updated the bootloader and has a different kernel than the leaks.
Has anyone else who have used both the leaks and official OTA actually kept track of anything they can speak about? I wish I would have kept notes throughout the process.

well i was able to create my own 2.2 ota deodexed update.zip.. but as i began to modify it at 3am my lack of sleep caused me to take short cuts and make an incredibly stupid mistake. I ended up attempting to reflash my phone to test out my update.zip without thinking.. i completely forgot that there was no 2.2 sbf file and i used the 2.1 sbf file. So now i have a hefty brick in my hands, but already have a new one being sent to my house with next day shipping. I will test it out on the new phone and then post it here. It will be deodexed/png optimized/zip alligned/with blackbar modded notification bar.
i was so pissed that i had everything done, and pulled an epic fail during testing.

That stinks. Sorry to hear it.

stupid questions...................
First, what is that "deodexed" thing? Can anyone explain it in plain English? I was pretty good addict flashing Roms on my Nexus 1, but am kinda afraid to do anything with my new Dx, for unknown (to me) reason.
Also, i have heard or read somewhere that if i wipe everything in recovery, before flashing new "zip", i will be stuck at M logo forever.....is that correct?? I would appreciate anyone who can explain these.............ty.

So once this is done if u don't like the theme, which im not saying is the case, U can load another right on top of it and still be deodexed with the official ota update?

[ROM][LEAK]EI03 HC 3.2 TouchWiz UX leak build for VZW Galaxy Tab 10.1 LTE ONLY!!!

THIS IS FOR THE 10.1 LTE tab only, NOT THE WI-FI VERSION!!! I've looked all around several forums and could not find this posted anywhere. I came across this through a friend who was kind enough to hook me up with some goodness. FIRST: I TAKE ABSOLUTELY NO CREDIT FOR THIS LEAK. This did NOT come from some awesome source of mine, I simply stumbled across it and it's AWESOME! So, I thought I would pass on the goodness to whoever wanted it. This is a HoneyComb 3.2 TouchWiz UX EI03 leak build for the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 LTE. It is a factory Odin image tar file that is unrooted and bloated However, once you flash it, simply odin the recovery that is linked below (courtesy of Pershoot) and then in recovery, flash the new 3.0.7 Superuser zip that is also linked below (courtesy of Chains) and you will have root. When you flash the superuser zip the first time in recovery, you will probably get an error. Just flash it again and it should work. You will need 7zip or something similar to extract the tar files from the links below. I like this MUCH better than the HC 3.1 that came with my tab. If this helped you out or you like it or whatever, be sure to hit the thanks button!
***And for some awesome step by step instructions on how to flash this, refer to this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=19901234&postcount=36 (Courtesy of Muzzy996, thanks bro!)***
HC 3.2 TW UX EI03 leak odin tar for the 10.1 LTE tab (no credit to me at all) - http://www.multiupload.com/EML345D42J <---------flash via ODIN!!!!!! But you must extract the tar file with 7zip or the like
Pershoot has also made an awesome OC kernel to go with this build: http://droidbasement.com/db-blog/?p=2448 (Thanks Pershoot!)
CWM recovery 5.0.2.7 odin tar (Thanks Pershoot!) - http://dl.dropbox.com/u/20070269/recovery-cwm_5.0.2.7-sam-tab-10.1_lte_odin.tar-112611.zip
Superuser 3.0.7 cwm flashable zip (Thanks Chains!) - http://dl.dropbox.com/u/20070269/Superuser-3.0.7-efgh-signed.zip **You will also need to install busybox. There are a few free busybox installer apps on the market. Just make sure you install it to /system/xbin

Wow, finally something new for the LTE tab. Thanks so much for sharing...can't wait to try it!

Yea, it will be up in about two and a half hours. It's awesome! Way better than the 3.1 that came with it IMO. It's a really awesome TouchWiz version. And I have always HATED TouchWiz, so that just shows you it's really nice......I love it.

Alright guys, I decided to make this a priority. It will be up in about 10 minutes

Yea, it's really nice. Just follow the instructions in the OP for root. And the kernel link is fixed. It's a much better kernel as well.

This'll be a noob question but do I need to be rooted to load this? If so can someone point me to the proper root thread. All the ones listed as LTE seem to dead end.

I tried it for only half a day. I found it to be a bit too heavy for the tablet as it is right now. For me it was laggy ... blatantly. Even my videos were lagging out and they were smooth on stock 3.1. Perhaps this is an earlier build... not optimized. I loaded up the OC Kernel and pushed it to 1.4 but it didn't smooth anything out. I ended up reloading the factory stock EG01 ROM and even that untouched version was smoother. I'm back on LiquidSpeed @1.4. Everything from the links above works. I didn't have any problems loading it; its just not smooth for me. Probably a good starting place for developers and I'm willing to continue trying out whatever gets posted now that I know how to restore. Thanks for the posting though, keep it coming

Wow, I guess it's just different results for different people. I absolutely love this build! It is much smoother and faster and more responsive for me than liquidspeed was. From the transitions all the way to the keyboard, more responsive, less glitchy and much smoother. Of course, I rooted and debloated it right away. And then it got even better when I installed zepplinrox's supercharger script and kickasskernelizer. I also used the zipalign script from liquidspeed. So, with the exception of not being deodexed, it has all the same mods and features that liquidspeed has. I will NOT be going back to 3.1, I am very pleased with this. Liquidspeed was great, but this is much better for me.

Did you just use titanium to debloat? Also can you list what apps you debloated so we can make sure we don't remove an app that is required.

Wow, it was a lot. I just removed every system app that I knew I wouldn't use. If you're not sure about removing a certain app, just make a backup of it with titanium backup. After you remove it, if the tab starts acting funny or you realize you needed that app, restore it. I did use titanium backup to debloat it.

No, that's how I did it. But remember, I debloated a lot of garbage. This is a full factory odin image from vzw so that means a lot of bloatware.

[Q] Samuaz's ICS ROM vs texasice's ICS ROM?

Which ROM is better?

I don't know for sure, but it seems that samuaz's is texasice's build plus the CM goodies. So I would say samuaz's has more features.

Ok. Hey, aren't you that Cyanogenmod moderator?

That'd be me

why ask--try them both--

Am using texasice's ROM since like day 1 and loving it. Its my daily driver

I tried thrice to use texacise ROM [Alpha 8, ev-1, and latest p3]. There are huge improvements and p3 is quite close to be used as daily rom. However, still there are issues with network dropping off , random soft reboots and many Apps FCing.
Nexy has good future with both these ROMs progressing so fast [it is less than 50 days since google released the code].
The samuaz ROM, looking at the feedback, I'll give it a try for couple of days next week.

Yes I do notice those soft reboots with p3. But no FCs and no network drops. However the progress for each build looks quite promising.

Would be nice if Samuaz too release a mini skirt version for stock Hboot

Yet another reason not to stay on stock Hboot: Camera is already working (not completely) on N1.
Also msm kernel 3.0 is ready. Just a few days before we get ICS beta

Where can we get the msm 3.0 kernel?

Where? From a kernel dev, of course.
When? When it's ready. Further questions will not aid in getting it faster.
I heard the kernel dev over at the Desire forums is going to upload his msm-3.0 sources to guthub and will make it work on the HD2 and Nexus One, of course after it works on the Desire itself.
Just wait patiently and it will be here sooner or later.

That's what I figured, but it seemed to be implied, by indiangeek, that one was already available.

I just upgraded from CM 7 to Texas ICS p4. The market didn't work (my apps didn't auto-sync and re-download - couldn't get it working after an hour of trying), the animations were a little jerky, camera didn't work, USB mass storage didn't work, CM mods weren't there. In it's current form, it could use a little polishing.
I tried Samuaz's MeDroid ICS 4.1 and it works way better. No market issues. Animations are much more fluid, camera works (panorama and video are broken). Gallery doesn't pull in picasa web albums (that'll be fixed today in 4.2). Also, you get CM features, which aren't present in TICS. I got a few force closes, but I think that was due to not rebooting after restoring from mybackup root, as I haven't had the FCs in a while. Oh, and USB mass storage is working, so I can restore apps and data from my backups. Sometimes the USB icon shows up or the app starts up (like at startup) when nothing is plugged in. Minor issue, though.
Upgrade method (some of these flash files aren't signed, so I needed to disable signature verification before they'd flash):
Upgrade bootloader (HBOOT) to 0.35.0017
Flash latest radio (5.12.00.08) - CHECK THE MD5 BEFORE FLASHING
Install Blackrose using the automatic method (It will not work without the HBOOT above)
Install custom blackrose from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1366897 - this increases the space available for ICS to install
Use recovery to do a full wipe three times (people had issues only wiping once)
Mount SD card via recovery and deleted/backed up everything.
Flash Evervolv-Perdo-2.1.0p4-passion.zip from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1366897
(Realize a bunch of things weren't working)
Use recovery to do a full wipe three times (people had issues only wiping once)
Flash MeDroid 4.1 from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=21093710&postcount=188
To do yet:
Upgrade as soon as 4.2 comes out to fix gallery - I'll probably just use adb to replace the current gallery app - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=21097768&postcount=191
Replace MeDroid's boot animation with this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1429308

Am I the only one to be a little knee-shaking when it comes to flashing radios? I mean, ****ing up the system or boot seems easily restorable, but flashing a corrupted or unsigned radio may turn your device into a fully usable paperweight?
That's kinda the reason I've stayed with the 5.08.00.04 or what it's called. I mean, it works for me and hasn't bugged in any way, so why upgrade it?

I agree it's scary, but I saw so many people using the same file without issues, I was alright with it. Radios are the only file I check md5 on for this reason.

I think you're ok if fastbooting the img and like loki980 said, checking md5
I've done it a few times with no issues

In all my time in the CyanogenMod forum (which is probably waaay too much time), it seems that the 5.08 is the best supported radio with the N1. I have never seen issues fixed from going from the 5.08 to the 5.12, but I have seen quite a few fixed doing the reverse. A lot of people get great results with 5.12, but it seems that more have better luck with 5.08.
Plus, I am sure that Google did a lot of testing before they sent out the Gingerbread update, and I'd bet there is a reason they included the 5.08 instead of the 5.12.

[NAND][pre-ALPHA] Kovsky ICS 4.0.3 testbuild0

Based heavily on TeamICS' work on HeroC, here is some very early initial work on ICS for the HTC Kovsky, AKA Sony Xperia X1. Built from AOSP source, with source available.
This is NOT for the faint of heart, and as far as I know nearly everything is broken right now. Instructions for building are coming soon - meanwhile, source is available at https://github.com/Zorlin with bits from https://github.com/CyanogenMod and https://github.com/TeamICS
Credits:
- TeamICS for all their ridiculously awesome work on Hero/HeroC
- CyanogenMod team, on which some TeamICS work is based.
- IceDroidV2 for the installer and current (slightly modded) kernel/boot.img - see IceDroidV2 thread for appropriate credits and source.
Currently working:
- Boots!
Currently not working:
- Everything else
- ADB
Notes:
boot.img is made from applying the ICS porting guide to IceDroidV2's boot.img
Currently there's a "hack" to attempt to get adb working - I threw in a copy of busybox as /system/bin/sh. Need to work out a better way, since it really didn't work...
I've got a bunch of ideas, but it's late, so... here:

I can't believe it. OMG !!
BUT
Is it really ICS or just some skin for android 2.3 ?

X1 long live

It's really ICS, which is why so little works. Gingerbread kernel for now, though.

woooaaaahhhh.....i love u full to all developers x1 the brilliant smart man ....kovsky never die !!!!

Do you really think you have enough background knowledge to get this off the ground? Or is it more of a "lets see what I can do" thing?

Yes and no. I think I can bring it to the same state as HeroC, maybe sans camera, and port hardware acceleration if/when they get it working. Kernel isn't my forte, though. At the moment adb is a major and confusing stumbling block... I'm missing something stupidly simple.

can we install it or it's not ready yet
I installed it that we install IceDroid v2 but nothing happened
It was stuck in android boot

You install IceDroid V2 first and then overwrite it... but no, at the moment this is just for developers and tinkerers.

oh damn how nice would that be!!!!
go ahead zorlin an thx a lot for your work

Hi Zorlin how is going ur work ?

Slow... lots of real-life stuff going on. I'll probably publish build instructions on the weekend so others can start contributing.
Haven't forgotten you guys though.

Hello. Any progress or updates of Your work?

Oh my god..
I hope this really happen....
I will do wait your work!

I will try to make something based on @Zorlin sources from #1 post. At all, probably He have own things to do so that is why He not respond.

Your signature shows that you have a own kernel for NAND for X1?
What is working etc? maybe you could share it, when it has benefits to the current published ones
EDIT: maybe you could join zargloub and midnight for kernel dev?

Hello @neoofoox.
Working everything except camera, fm radio and bluetooth (atm working on kernel to see where is problem).
Charging/discharging (at last I think it is ok as phone discharge within 20 hours->3.5 yrs old battery<- using push, wifi, bluetooth and location with 10-15 minutes of talking)
Also, phone wake asap You press power, ok or lock button (also with double security using pattern after normal unlocking)
I also don't think that this is right thread for something other than ICS work conversation.
When I got all things working proper, be sure that will make an new thread with image and patches to kernel.
BR,
Ramon
EDIT: Yeah, I will be happy to talk with @zargloub and @midnight regarding kernel.
EDIT2: Regarding sharing, I use only main system of Cyanogen but My own kernel, so as I say, until kernel completely work, I will not share it because of lot's of questions what users cannot fix until I fix holes inside kernel.

@fergy Last question ot jooc Does your phone reboots if you miss a call?

Sorry guys, I might be retiring my Kovsky... I'll publish build instructions and sources etc either way. If you don't hear back from me, assume I retired it
I'm getting fairly hopeful that you'll get decent ICS on the Kovsky soon though.
EDIT: Yup, it's official. I turned in my Xperia X1 in exchange for a free, off-contract Samsung Focus S (which I'm reselling) through the recent Microsoft promotion. I'll still have it for a week - I'm going to try and get ICS on it before then, but I don't really know what chances are like.
After that, I'll turn this over to someone else who can hopefully carry it through.

With these things working it is working perfectly, who need wifi if you can use mobile Data to access Internet and who needs bluetooth if you can send files via Email or connect your Phone via headphone port to your soundsystem etc..
I would test that if it becaume available and will report every bug etc. You could choose some people for testing which know something about that / for reporting bugs. So you can fix them and make the kernel 'perfect'.
Zargloub stopped developing and he has his files on gitorious so you could merge the kernels, here is working bluetooth and wifi (but it shows bad signal strenge)
Are you on github or gitorious so other devs can see what you are doing and maybe can help or people see what you are working on now.
I would love to test it, because for me it is allready perfect I hope we read something from you soon. You are our last hope
EDIT: sp3dev was also working on kernel you can get the sources here and here
EDIT2: I asked sp3dev if he would help, but he cannot for 2 reasons, first he has currently no time, the second reason is that he don't want to work on project which are close-source. Maybe you should think about releasing that before it is completely finished or make it open-source. Your device is old and that slow down the process a lot.
