Android mail app (switch rom) - myTouch 4G Themes and Apps

Hi,
I was running android revolution HD on my panache since few weeks. Since yesterday I switch to Zips Creamed Glacier but somes features that I like are now missing. Is there anyway to get it back from the other rom?
1st My mail app dosen't have hours rule notification in the setting. I liked this option because I was able to turn off email notification at night with hours rules. ICS mail app doesn't have it.
2nd I like the keyboard on Revo HD because it have the four arrow to navigate in the text. ICS rom doesn't have it.
Thanks for your advice !

Its unlikely that a sense app will work outside of a sense ROM, but you can try it. Yank the apk from the older version and try installing. It will be in /system/app.
This might help you on the keyboard.

Installing a GB phone.apk on an ICS ?

I liked the phone dialer screen from my GB Rom because it had 4 tabs across the top rather than the 3 which is has now. It no longer has "Contacts" as a tab at the top.
Therefore, could I install a phone.apk from the GB rom and install it on an ICS stock rom ? I suppose, is it the phone.apk file that controls this or is it some other one ?

I don't think a GB phone.apk will work on ICS.
Good news though: in the new firmware that came out today (LPW), Samsung has added that 4th tab back again. It will just be a matter of time before there are custom ROMs based on it.
Wow, what a timely question !!
Seems bizarre that they ever removed it. It's not as if it took up any more space.
Thanks for the info.

Yes its back but its annoying.... When you go into contacts, its a separate menu now so you have to use back key to get beck to dialer.

Black Widow ICS ROM - Stock Messenger App

Hello! Brand new here.. although I've been lurking for quite some time as a guest. Here is my first question: Is there a way to disable the text messenger application is this ROM? I want to use Handcent in place of this bland application.. The disable button is..disabled. I want the lock screen to go to the Handcent application like I can enable it to do on the stock ICS ROM. Thank you.

[Q] Can you help me find or build a ROM?

I had an Incredible for almost 3 years and I loved the setup I had on it. I switched back forth between "Sense-less" (or de-sensed for Rezound users) and AOSP depending on what mood I was in. I was rooted and S-OFF.
I have been browsing through the forums, flashing various ROM, and trying desperately to catch up on all the in's and out's of our beloved phone. I really had my heart set on running CM10 once I got my Rezound, but unfortunately, bluetooth doesn't work on AOSP ROMs and that's a deal breaker. So, I've been shopping de-sensed ROMs and I can't find one that I really like 100%.
Why do I want de-sensed? I use third-party launchers because of the customization and ability to have multiple docks. Therefore, most of the Sense widgets are not needed on my phone.
The features that I am looking for:
- Based of the latest Global RUU, all VZW crap removed
- De-sensed to a degree where nothing becomes "broken" (I want everything to work. Sense camera is a must! Friendstream would be nice for Facebook contact pics.)
- AOSP lockscreen with Caller ID and Music Controls.
- No Volume screen wake.
- Long-press volume to skip songs would be nice.
I think that's it. I'll add some later if I can think of some, but these are the most important to me really. I have tried several ROMs and read the threads on most of the other candidates and I can't find one that really suits me.
If no one can point me in the direction of such a ROM, I have decided to develop my own. I have little Linux/Android experience. I am still S-ON so I have become comfortable with adb. I have a very basic understanding of how ROMs and kernel interact to make our phone work. I have some experience with C++ and VB. All I really need is some guidance.
Can I just re-flash the Global RUU and then de-Sense and de-bloat my phone by removing apks through adb? Then, if I can find Sense-compatible .zips that give me the volume controls I need, they should work right? Is that the same for compatible themes?
What gets broken when you remove Rosie? I can leave Rosie alone if it breaks the camera and such. I can just remove the unnecessary Sense widgets instead.
Is it possible to have the same lockscreen from CM10 on a de-Sensed ROM and have it fully-functional?
I have been thinking about this for a while and I have a ton of questions. If anyone is willing to help in anyway, please let me know. I love the phone, but I am dying for a ROM that really suits my needs.
Look up Adrenaline by Neo. There is a link near the end of the comments

I don't think Adrenaline is based off of the newest RUU yet. I also don't want the 5-pt lockscreen if I can't customize it easily. Is there a way to put the regular lockscreen back?
Neo has some pretty sick ROMs. I was running his CM9 until i found out that bluetooth calls don't work.

Ahh, sorry. I didn't notice the note about global. Ineffabilis is based off of global, has a desense option while flashing, and has an option for AOSP lock screen. I've heard good things about it, but haven't run it myself.

I run Ineff Deus v1.2 (global) de-sensed as my daily driver. I use a combination of Nova Prime and WidgetLocker. I believe the AOSP lockscreen is set up the way you're looking for. I know there's an option to bypass the lockscreen for incoming calls. There are a ton of options thru the Aroma installer and more in the MikTweaks menu to customize your setup.

Neomax by Neo is pretty close to what you described, themed to look like AOSP, has Sense camera but rest stripped.
It hasn't been updated to be based on global, but you can still run neomax on top of global firmware and benefit from radio improvements. I ran Neomax for two months before switching to CM9 RAGE... CM 10 is still in alpha mode and may be a while in getting to usable state on Rezound.
The good news is that apps like Nova Launcher, SwiftKey and the XDA Google Now for ICS port give you early access to Jellybean features.

How much flashing is one flash too much?

I still haven't made a full transition to 4.2. I think its overrated. I took the fullscreen camera apk and loaded it on and will do the same with gmail 4.2 if I ever need pinch to zoom. The toggles and notifications are split between two notification screens, brightness filter so that slider which is conveniently placed in notification bar only shows a range of brightness that I want. Wakelocks controlled. My 4.1.2 is set up ideally. Amazing battery life, functionality, simplicity ease. All my apps are inverted. I don't think I will upgrade for a while.
You guys?
I kept my 4.1.2 setup for quite some time too till I got a fully working, stable 4.2.1 for my device by the same brilliant developer. I saw absolutely no reason not to upgrade then.
But no, I wouldn't ditch my fully functional, well setup 4.1.2 ROM for an alpha 4.2.1 ROM just to have the latest version. I'd wait till it's fully functional before switching.

lock screen work modding and ROM suggestions

Hi, just recently switched over to android after being an iphone user since 2007. So bare with me as I am learning the lingo and software. The hardware of the HTC one made me cheat. So here I am.
So.... This has been a very different experience from jailbreaks on iphone. So as of now I cannot really get the lock screen the way I'd like. The sense lock screen is not customizable like the stock android lock screen. And I have tried apps such as widget locker and then tried adding things on such as dash clock but things aren't smooth and some apps just don't work well together. Not all the functionality of dash clock will work within widget locker. And widget locker will show the default lock screen whenever I get a phone call....kind of defeats the purpose of having the app in the first place....
I tried the Cyanogen 10.1 rom but found I missed certain aspects of sense 5.... I like blink feed and the way the phone from sense is integrated. Android's stock phone app is bland and not that well integrated and intuitive IMO... Also the beats audio and zoe and camera features that made the camera and speakers great was missing... lets just say those tweaks make a huge difference in camera quality and audio quality that I could not replace with any apps.
So right now I'm currently rooted on Trickdroid version 7.5.0 with JB 4.2.2 and sense 5 on my htc one from AT&T. I flashed the tweaks package that came with the rom and installed the asop JB lock screen hoping I could add widgets to it and customize it the way I want. Unfortunately It won't let me do that with the ASOP lock screen either....I'm not sure why they added it with the rom if it doesn't do what it's supposed to? The tweak package itself is also having a weird bug that causes the status bar to have two clocks.
Anyhow I guess my question is..... is there a better way of customizing my lock screen or is there another rom that would suite my needs? And how would one go about uninstalling a particular tweak package?
Thank you in advance
No one?
I'd like to report the bug to the developers but I haven't posted up enough replies.
Any suggestions on a better rom? One with stock android but still retains the betas audio and htc camera tweaks?
You're gonna have to wait until the GE one drops for the stock with beats and camera. As for the lockscreen, you're not getting much mod wise. Also you can't just delete a tweak you flashed, you have to restore a nandroid you (should have) made in recovery.

The best piece of advice anyone on this (or any other) forum can possibly give you:
If you're going to be toying with the phone in the manner in which we do here, please please please make a nandroid backup. I'm asking for your own sake and ours. It's the best way to revert to a previous state your phone was in if you have any troubles.

Thanks for the response. I was afraid I'd have to wait. Do you think the GE rom will be available right away to non GE HTC ones or would we have to wait for a developer to mod it for use for us?
Hopefully we can just flash it as an ruu. When someone gets a leak or someone makes a system dump it should be flashable. If not it'll take a little moding which shouldn't take too long for a dev to do.
