[Q] Your dream Vivid

I want to start a thread to find out what the majority of people want for their Vivid. I think we were close to perfection with some of the GB Sense 3.5 ROM's. Now there is ICS... Take the time to tour other devices XDA threads and current ICS ROM's. There is starting to be some really cool stuff out there. Remember, this is just a wish list some or none of this may be currently possible now or ever. Along with all of the standard root, debloat, de-odexed etc, personally, I would like:
OC
Sense 4.0
Amaze Camera/(or other new boss future camera)
enhanced beats/(other sound tweak)
better battery life
Possible new theme selection (which I am told is not possible yet for Sense 4.0)
Wi/Fi Tether
FYI, I saw a cool non-sense ICS ROM out there that has a really cool sense like lockscreen and a bunch of launcher tweaks. It was for the Desire, I think...

AOSP gingerbread or ICS
I love stock and Sense 3.6.

DesireHD/Inspire - from LordClockan. Lockscreen has 2 fixed along with 2 that are replaceable. Have not been on the DHD forum for almost 2 weeks so not sure what new developments they have but pretty sick! Speed, stability, AND TOYS!

check out some of this coolness!

CM9 is going to be great for sure. However, I'm a bit torn because I really like sense... I'm running CM9 on my nook color and although, the hardware is a bit laggy, the software is nice.

Definitely this.

For starters either Sense 3.0 with ICS or Sense 4.0. Sense 3.5 is horribly ugly and 3.6 is better but the proprietary apps Music, Reader, Watch, etc look MUCH better on Sense 3.0. Just not feeling the bland straight edges and all black.

ICS
Sense 4.0
De-bloated
De-odexed
Root
Better battery life ...
Voice control [like Siri on the iPhone 4s, or better]
Mostly, I'm happy with the stock AT&T vivid [after Rooting & de-bloating, etc] ... I just moved from a mostly stock HTC Rhodium, so Android is a whole new world of fun & learning.

I'm not sure exactly how Siri works on the iphone 4s but you can hold the search button on android devices and it lets you send a text, make a call, look up directions, listen to a certain song/artist/album, send an email, set an alarm, get a map of a place, go to a certain url, make a note to yourself, or google search things. It just doesn't talk to you...

This is from an article... "DiClemente notes that Google is expected to offer something called “Assistant,” as part of the next version of its Android operating system, version 5.0, dubbed “Jelly Bean.” That will be a more advanced voice-recognition search than Google currently offers, with the ability to tap into Gmail, the “Google+” social networking service, etc."
I agree, it would be awesome!

Am running Unlocked, Rooted, OTA, the ICS with 3.6, I like it but would love:
Capychimp's APM from Sensation
more settings on notification bar, like BC's or RCmix3D
a music player that allows sound enhancements over BT
and of course wifi hotspot
I would be happy just with these.
I have already sent Capy a message asking if it was possible to get the APM, and how this old fart can put it on, now to find the rest.
Cheers

Quick Question regarding APKs

Hey I was just wondering why this does not work .
Why can I not cross use different apks from different roms .
I am using Ice cold sandwich atm and the Camera application sucks on it , half the stuff doesn't work so I am forced to use a third party application.
I tried to access the app folder inside the "system.ext3.tar" which was found in one of my backup roms . ---> Created with CW MOD
I basically tried to take the working camera application and install it on my current rom but it crashes on startup, how do you actually go about doing stuff like this? What are the requirements ?
I just dont get why it does not work
I also hate the clock APK in the rom it does not have a world clock which I really need. I tried to again take the World Clock apk from another rom and it did not even install.
They were all from different icecream sandwiches but with sense 4 , the rom I am using does not have sense but I dont see how that would really affect this
Can someone explain to me how to cross use APK system files ?:good::good:

I believe you can't cross sense with aosp and aokp. If you want sense apps to work then port to a sense Rom. Your trying to put a square peg in a triangle hole.

I cannor really explain it, but I know for sure that u can't use apk-files from sense or touchwhiz and use them on AOKP ROMs. It's just not possible. Same thing for widgets...

It hasn't been taken from a HTC rom, its just a clock thats themed to look like sense

A themed AOKP rom to look like sense is not a sense rom

I see thanks for all your help guys and if anyone can explain to me the technical aspect of not being able to cross APKS due to AOSP and AOKP
I am just curious as to the limiting factor

HTC apps require HTC framework and other HTC apps in order to work
So without the other apps, just come of them won't work
Most apps from other Roms, like Sony Ericsson and miui Roms will work, I have some of them
I think just Samsung and HTC apps won't work
But Samsung apps can be hacked

There are dependency on HTC framework for sense APk,thus causing sense apk not working at aosp/aopk rom.

AOSP + Sense 5.0 launcher?

Can one just install the Sense launcher APK on AOSP and have it work? I really love AOSP functionality but Sense 5.0 design as a launcher, and BlinkFeed of course.
Suggestions, solutions, idea welcome.

Emh, it will not work...
Because launcher need also framework, com.htc.resource...
You have to choose: Sense or AOSP

That's a huge bummer. Maybe someone will eventually make it work. AOSP functionality + Sense design would be a killer combo.

Sense 5.0 currently runs off of 4.1 as you know, it has most of the same functionality and features and abilities as stock 4.1 but not all. I honestly can name many of them right now because I've only ran into a few. I know there are some missing sharing functions, zooming into pictures is weakened, and there are some others. All I am saying is that I want the full functionality and potential of stock 4.2.2, but with a Sense 5.0 launcher for looks and BlinkFeed.

Yes i know, but, htc rom have a modded framework, com.htc.resource and other function.
For have a fully sense 5 working you need the htc and resource by HTC.
So, or you will use app like aosp lockscreen or android 4.2 camera is possible...
But, for example, you can't have the aosp with the fully sense 5...
However, can you list some function that you will have?

I don't think you understand. All I care about is the launcher, not the full blown Sense 5 UI framework. Just the launcher/icons. That could be ported from the framework and then BlinkFeed might be able to be ported as well. At that point it would be two simple APK installs while running stock 4.2.2. Theoretically it should be possible.

Try to push the sense ui apk on stock android rom and see if it will work.
Theoretically it will not work, because some function need sense framework...

Well obviously it is not as simple as that. I never said it would be. But developers have extracted a launcher from frameworks before. I've seen it. It will take some work but I'm sure we will eventually have it.

You know whats kinda of a cool launcher is Lightning Launcher. Im using it on my One now.

I think is for crazy dev...
However, if someone will develop this, good luck

[Q] Love to have the new 4.3... BUTTT!?

Hey there,
This has probably been answered before. so a simple redirect would be ok.
I love the stock look of the N7000 (menu buttons and locker) but all of the 4,3 roms have the Nexus menu buttons and app locker suck. I find those horrible to use.
First question... what would it be called (kinda nooby when it comes to launchers and such).... Are they called AOSP or AOKP or something.. or is it completely different.
Are there any roms which look like the stock rom.. but with enhanced features with the new 4.3 features?
Thanks in advance.
Ricky

aosp, aokp, cm, miui are just rom types.
By saying menu buttons you mean the whole look of an interface. You mean You want this stock 4.1.2 samsung blue stuff?
Because if this is what You want you may want to download samsung theme for cm from the google play.

I'm using PA myself and it allows for nice customization when it comes to looks. Have you tried that? There are also a few fun launchers that might solve your cosmetic issue. Is it mostly the new DPI settings you're having trouble with? Or just the general art style of Android?

I haven't tried PA yet. Next on the list.
I am looking for a stock icons/colour scheme, the apps logo not to look like the nexus variation of droid. Just me being an oldschool stock visuals.

I'm currently running Lungo ROM (android 4.0.4) because it's light.
If You are searching for more functions use PA, or the best "Jellybam".
That's the best ROM ever, but it uses a LOOOOT of memory.

Sense 5.0 and 5.5 merge

Is it possible to have both effects from the Sense gallery 5.0 and 5.5? The camera highlights, where we can pick those themes. Both had totally different themes which liked and was wondering if there was a way to have all of them on the phone. If anyone could give some advice on if its possible or not. Thank you.
