Hey guys! I've recently started using Fourth Bar Jellybean (and by far the most impressive desensed ROM yet), however there are a few bugs I've noticed that desensed ROMs all tend to have and I was wondering if there would be any fixes for the following:
Google Play music turns the wallpaper on the lockscreen black and doesn't show any music controls
HTCLinkifyDispatcher.apk tends to screw things up. For instance, if I click a link to YouTube it will take me to the browser page instead of the YouTube app. If you delete or rename HTCLinkifyDispatcher this fixes the issue, however in chat clients such as imo, IM+, or Google Talk, clicking a link will crash the app.
Those are the most prominent bugs that I can think off right off the top of my head. Like I said, Fourth Bar Jellybean did a REALLY fantastic job of desensing the ROM, but a couple of HTC Sense bugs still remain.
Let me know what you guys think - is there a fix for any of this?
Thanks!
If Rom devs changed their base to a telus base the link issue would be fixed all round without the need to modify anything, the Google music part I'm not sure of since I don't use it.

I think the google music doing that has something to do with the theme. It's not playing nice I'm most likely a bug. I remember flashing a theme and some music controls weren't showing up but they were there since I knew where they were I clicked. Are yours still function?

This thing though is that it's not really a theme, I think it's an issue with the lockscreen itself. Come to think of it, it seems like EclipzeRemix got his to work in his Project Butter ROM. Maybe the apk can be extracted from it and reflashed/replaced in Fourth Bar?

It's worth a shot, don't ya think? Better to try and fail that to sit doing nothing until your rom dev fixes the issue, though I do think it may be a system issue, tried updating the app itself?

Well, I don't know about the rest of you but I enjoy the functionality of MySense in certain respects. My dislikes are not enough to get me to jump to an alternative launcher but they are enough to make me want changes.
In my eyes.... two things will make Espresso aesthetically pleasing and more functional. The first being redirecting/replacing the My Faves with Browser or messenger. And the second... changing the drawer icon to the FROYO blocks icon.
Now, I don't have a full grasp on what would be involved in doing so, but common sense or my lack of understanding perhaps tell me those 2 icons and the 1 remapping can't be too involved. To anyone out there ready and willing to take this on... I will volunteer to be the guinea pig for testing. Me and Nandroid are best friends.
Looking forward to it.
you forgot your recent app's thing lol or did you find that one?

Lol, not forgotten... that is still on my list in the quest of a perfect MT4G. I am going to make that one my personal project. I figured it is in my best interest to enlist some "qualified" help for the Espresso Project.
lol the things you mentioned above are my exact problems with the stock launcher as well everything else i like as of lately ive jus been using a combination of iced glacier and ADW to get sumthing almost similar to wat you discribed but in all i would love to see an actual rom that benifits both i too will be a tester for anyone who decides to take on this project and good luck

i agree ADW doesnt have any real widgets so it does put u at a loss. if sumone could successfully merge the two launchers and have the benifits of both we would have a fricken great rom for this phone. i tried to flash the apks from the glacier rom onto the ADW launcher but it freezes the homescreen i cant get the widgets to successfully adapt to the ADW protocols which puts me back to sqaure one lol
what is root?
I turned my phone on and now the screen glows???? wtf your rom borkded it.... can I abd push ota or does the motherboard need fixing???? thanx in advance

Motherboard for sure... I will PM you my address. Sent me your phone and I will fix it when I get a chance.
-iced glacier,
-adw
-pure calendar widget
-stock twitter app & widget
-simiclock (has weather now)
-quick settings for the best customizable power and brightness controls and can be launched from tapping simiclock when set up that way, also can be added to status bar
-circle battery (just looks cool and clean)
All of this together makes me very pleased with this phone. I have test out sooooo many different apps for these functions and various roms on other phones.. just my taste and opinion.. but give them a try if you havent.
Well, I'm a huge GO fanboy and GO Locker doesn't disappoint. I love it and I'd thought I'd share considering we have limited lockscreen options. I like the Fourkey Theme.

I noticed in Gallery there's drawable-hdpi (37) with all the image files in there. I suppose you could change #37, which is the background of the widget. I guess in theory you could customize any of those files to customize the locker. It's just a guess though and I haven't attempted to try to change anything though.
I wonder if this will eventually become a full blown WidgetLocker/Executive Assistant type replacement. Can you add widgets to this app? Now that would make this an awesome app!
Anyone else get the bonus feature of not being able to swipe homescreens from left to right every now and then unless you swipe the other direction first?
This would happen to me with GOLauncherEX fairly frequently on my GSII , and I have stopped using it because of that. Now I am back on stock TW4 with no issues.

FWIW, I've never had that happen to me once and I've been running Go Launcher EX on my SGS2 almost since the day I got it.
And I've been using Go Launcher as my go-to launcher app for quite a while now, across quite a few different Android phones.

I always use the conservative gov.
But I did a full wipe and reinstall today, so I'll check it out.
Update to the app today, lets you finally pick the background!
Does this let you put widgets on the home screen?
My biggest use for widgetlocker is to have a pandora widget and volume controls on my unlock screen so I can use it [in my workshop or garage] without needing to unlock every time.
Extract image from GO LOCKER ICS theme background
Hello all,
I recently installed GO LOCKER with an ICS and was wondering if I could use the locker background as the background for my phone as well?
Is there any way to extract the image from somewhere through a file manager?
Thanks in advance!
Because of the constant Sense reloads I downloaded and am using the Nova launcher.
While I like it a lot, the one thing I miss is the HTC photo gallery. I'm not finding anything out there that matches it. What I am looking for is a full screen widget for one of the home screens that shows all of the photos from your device just as the HTC gallery/album does. What I have seen out there either is an app you have to activated before you get to the album or a widget where you have to go in and select which photos you want to show on the screen.
Any help?
I'm more curious why you were getting sense reloads. I'm not having any issue like that at all, and haven't seen it reported on the mikmik.

Well, in general Sense has had reloading troubles across platforms for about a year or so depending on the device and the update where it seems to have started:

HTC's "community" forum had a number of threads about it which seem to have been deleted:
http://community.htc.com/na/msgs/default.aspx?MessageID=9
Specifically with the EVO LTE:

This is also a problem on the One X:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-1601619.html
So, while perhaps not for all, it is an issue. It may depend on what app you are leaving to get back to the home page (seems to happen every time with Chrome) or how many apps "open" or how much memory being used, or who knows... And as you can see from the threads, there have been lots of suggestions and supposed "solutions" which don't seem to solve and sure didn't for me. Got so bad that started considering taking the LTE back before the 14 days was up. But Nova solved this problem. Not only do i like the launcher, there have been no loading/reloading"resets since I installed it.
And, in any case, I find I like the NOVA launcher and plan to stick with it at least until we have fully functional stable ROMs and I am fairly certain there wont be any major OTA updates (one hearsay post I saw suggested a recent update to the International One X helped the reload issue but can't find a confirmation).
Which brings me back to the ONE thing I did like about Sense that I cant seem to replicate, a photo gallery that accesses all of your pics and displays them all the time on one of the home screens, just like the HTC Gallery does.
Anybody????
So, is this impossible to do?
I would like to know if this is at all possible.

Quickpic works great https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.alensw.PicFolder

I just installed quickpic and it doesn't have a widget that I can find.
But, I live what it does with the burst mode shots, gives them their own folder and unpacks them. Nice. I hadn't tried quickpic on this device yet.

As much as I loved cm10, I was beginning to run into more and more app closes on a regular basis. Unfortunately it got to a point where I wasn't able to use many of the apps that I rely on daily. So back to stable cm7.
That being said, I miss alot of the jellybean love that cm10 brought to the x2. Was wondering if anyone had any input on apps or tweaks that could get more jellybean features into gb. So far I have found and use the following :
Holo launcher
Holo lock
GoSMS Pro with an ICS theme
I think I am missing the notification changes the most. I found jellybean notifications+ but that has been pulled from the app store.
Any input is appreciated, thanks!

I feel the same way. I mean I love what CM10 has to offer and I love the huge improvement in speed and functionality it gave to my phone and there are some things that are really making it difficult to want to stay on CM10. A really big one are the app crashes, and from what I gather, those apps may never really work since they use drivers at the kernel level that we won't have access to as long as the bootloader is locked. I can't use gmail at all except for reading the headlines of the emails. As soon as I enter the email, the app crashes. Obviously Chrome doesn't work, which is a browser I'd like to use. I've been using Dolphin Browser almost as long as I've had my phone and I can't use it at all on CM10. Another thing is wifi hotspots not working. I frequently tether my tablet to my phone's data connection and I can't do it while on CM10. The last thing is the horrible battery life. My phone seems to die around 5pm under the same conditions where my phone would last until 9pm or later on GB
unfortunately, the only thing to do is wait for CM10 to become more stable. I've tried CM7/9/10 and Eclipse and I keep going back to eclipse. 2.3 + supercharger + holo launcher is pretty much the best.
i loved CM10 while i used it but apps closing and such made it just unusable. hopefully dragonzkiller can get it working but at a certain point there's only so much he can do.

The problem though is that with the whole texture thing that ICS/JellyBean apps use that the GB kernel doesn't have, I don't think we'll ever get around those apps crashing short of using an old version of said apps without ICS/JellyBean elements...but then what's the point of running either one?
Guys question how do you claim to love cm10 when you can't use any major app like gmail or others.lol

I didnt have any issues with gapps, I even flashed a inverted Gmail and MMS with no problems. Some of my non-ICS optimized apps crashed out though.

Because aside from not being able to use some apps, JellyBean works amazingly. The operating system as a whole is wonderful and fluid and I'm gonna cry when I eventually downgrade because of the gmail issues and the horrible horrible battery life I am getting.
This isn't "Jelly Beanified" but will give you the ICS look if that is close enough for you. Check out this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1324924
Holo is great, but I don't care much for Holo Locker.
I use Widget Locker Pro instead.
It has some ICS and JB lock screen defaults and a metric poop ton of options for customizing the experience.
There is also an ICS Theme for the t-Mobile Theme Chooser app, between that theme, holo launcher and holo locker, it looks like pretty awesome. Other than applying these elements and maybe trying a theme patch using acPatch, I don't think you are going to get any closer to looking like JB. There is also a Jelly Bean status bar in the play store, but several users report that it's a ram hog. If I can get theses themes running on my MX2 with CM7, I'll post some screen shots.
Also, give this thread a look around, you might find some things you like:
CM7 Ice Cream Sandwich + Jelly Bean Look, All In One
I attached some screenshots. The ones with the Jelly Bean icon in the status bar were taken with the Jelly Bean Status Bar installed. I don't recommend it as it is constantly force closing. The rest were used with Holo Launcher, Holo Locker, and an ICS/JB theme for CM7
My sig shows Eclipse but I am currently running DZK's CM7
Hey all,
I recently downloaded an app called 3D PARALLAX BACKGROUND.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.vinwap.parallaxwallpaper
Seemed like a cool and interesting thing, much like the new iOS feature. Background looked pretty awesome too once I was done installing...
Only problem is, it changed my lock screen to something else (I guess a default within the program) and no matter what I do, I can't change it back to stock.
I have tried uninstalling the app, restarting the device, changing lockscreen to every stock lockscreen available, etc but it still won't change back.
Super weird and it seems that I am the only person that has had this problem. I looked through the app reviews and nobody mentions it. Wondering if it's an HTC One problem... Running 4.2.2 Android Revolution 12.0
Does anyone have any suggestions? I have attached a screenshot of the lockscreen in question. It's a nice looking one at least, but I am not a huge fan of the functionality and I would rather have a 12-hour clock than a 24-hour one...
TL;DR App changed lockscreen, can't get the stock one back.

Well that was quick, I figured out it was a completely other app that was activated for some reason. Go Locker was the culprit. Problem solved
