This is a port of JACxROM from the dream/g1. It's based on the stable android 1.5/cupcake AOSP from the master branch and 1.5r4 now includes some donut code as well. All resolutions should work with this build. It includes some htc frameworks and apps as well as the htc keyboard. Java is included in this build as well as exchange work email. It has a nice hero like theme done by manup. There are several hero like widgets included such as a flip style weather clock and several toggle switches. I've also included Loccy's Better Browser which is an enhanced version of the standard opensource android browser.The origional JACxROM1.X can be found in the dream forums.
JACxROM1.4r3 Vogue/Kaiser
Download: xROM1.4r3 from vogue-android
This is the android 1.5 AOSP version with the hero themed launcher. Use it with the standard basefiles package at vogue-android.
JACxROM1.5r4c Beta for Vogue/Kaiser:
Download: xROM 1.5r4c bundle. from vogue-hero experimental page. You must use the latest basefiles. I've included Java in this build and the Biz Card Reader from hero. It also includes all the other htc apps in the last xROM including the htc music app. It's using Loccy's Better Browser with double tap zoom and Stericson's lock screen. It also has the Meltus v7 audio hack and the standard pre like xROM Advanced launcher which is themed by overground and maintained by irrenhaus and ported from rogro82's original Launcher.apk.
All credits for the original xROM go to just another crowd(jac), manup456, cyanogen, loccy, overground, irrenhaus and rogo82 from the dream forums.
Good job, Zanulator. It's a very nice theme! But I found one problem on the polaris: The headset icon is always displayed, but I never connected the headphone to the phone (it doesn't work yet on the polaris). Do you know how to solve this?
Thanks!!

The headphone icon is just there. It's not a bug it's an unusable feature .
Very nice - works well. Great idea splitting the threads for the diff builds.
I use xROM more than hero now. Until the next hero update comes or someone puts out a better themed cupcake/ion/donut I'll be using this.

Yea xROM2 was really JACxROM1.3 it was just the second version that I ported to the vogue thats the reason I called it xROM2. They updated to JACMANxROM1.4r3 so I just used the regular version numbers for this one to avoid confusion in the future.
Should it work on the Kaiser?
Because I can't get Wi-Fi nor the modem to connect, could you possibly put this system.img in a bundle with the other files you think should work best? I love the responsiveness of it otherwise, seems much faster and less crash prone than the hero builds.

I didn't add the wifi pieces in this build. I'll post one later on in a bundle.
Dude just installed, everything is awsome, except my lock screen is mirrored lol, I dunno how that happened, but it is like looking throught a piece of glass and everything is backward.
Everything else looks amazing though, thank you.

did you use a fresh data.img? i accidentally booted xrom with the data.img from cyanogenmod and everything was weird kinda cool but not quite right.
New XRom is great thanks Zenulator, only thing is that that weird headphone icon is in the taskbar, lol, i know that wasnt in the last XRom release so i'm guessing you somehow fixed it before?
this is a great build man, no crashes so far. zen, is there any way to make the "in call" volume louder when on a phone call? that's the only real annoying thing about our android builds. im shocked no one has fixed this or attempted to hack the audiopara. the rest of my volumes are very loud.
Hey zenulator, great work as always. A couple of things.
1. I know your stance on the camera program and it not working in your builds. However, for a daily use build, I think it is essential. I know that fxcamera works, but a) it takes two clicks to get to the camera, and b) the resolution is not that great. mssmison had the regular camera working in his hero themed ion, which seems very similar to this build in a lot of ways, I don't know if it would be compatible. I did try bringing the camera app over from one of the other builds, but I could not install it on this rom (and yes, I have "unknown sources" checked under applications).
2. no album - also essential, and yes we can get an album program from other places, but I think having all the basics on board on a daily use build like this should be standard.
Thanks again zen.

what do you mean by album? i can see all of my photos on my sd card? for the camera use pro paint camera, works great!
i figured this was a themed cupcake build and not a true hero rom.
is it true that using android the way we do will eventually ruin our sd cards? i could of swore i read that somewhere before? if it's true i probably won't use it much as i have alot of other important info on my card.

yes, themed cupcake build. yes, you can see all pics on your sd card, just need an album program (most builds there is one installed by default name Album or Gallery).

Is there any way to put HTC Dialer and Contacts application to non-sense rom, such as cyanogen mod?..
Because for me stock dialer and contacts application are awful, and I can't find any another applications as good, as made HTC..
Is it possible?
Try DialerOne.
Thanks, DialerOne is good..
And what about screen during call, with horizontal slider, is there another one in Sense style?
In response to installing HTC's Dialer and Contacts apps, it can't be done.
Any update on this ? Getting the HTC Sense dialer and contacts on a rooted EVO w/ CM 6.1 ?
The default Android in all black sucks, compared to the nice Sense dialer.

You cannot use HTC system apps on Google devices because they use totally different frameworks and other stuff. It would be so much easier to build an app that is similiar to HTC than to use the original HTC apps.
alternate Programs to Sense UI ones
For those of us that know that the sense applications cannot be used on non-sense roms, I beleive the true question is where is a list of the best HTC replacement apps. Most importantly for the dialer and the contacts but also for other things like the calendar and weather/clock etc.
I know HTC does this on purpose so that they can have specific things about their phones that are better than the standard phones on the market. But it seems like if the apps were replicated and then still used on HTC phones that it wouldn't be an issue. Just my rant anyway. But the main deal is just having a comparable apps list since the sense apps HAVEN'T been replicated outside of sense. Anyone?
im kinda surprised no one commented on this. fwiw, i just downloaded the Dialer One app and I'm kinda digging it.
I switched from HTC One to AOSP-driven phone, and Google dialer is an ergonomically disaster.
Any news on best HTC-like dialer replacement?
(Dialer One seems not exist anymore)
i was running desire hd 3.4 for the last couple of days but today i decided to switch to froyo sense 2.4.2 because the camera is working on that build.
now i would like to know if it's possible to get a updated sense on that build. there are some nice features missing. like the preview of themes, a lot of themes, background pictures and especially some nice widgets and the feature to see all htc wigets in one place.
especially i am looking for the data-connection and settings widget which comes in bar-style (setting, wifi, mobile-data, sync, bt, etc.). is it possible to get it somewhere? it was pretty convenient compared to the single button widgets i found on the market.
thx a lot!
u cant. HTC sense is complicated. u either have it or u dont. at least for now...
that's sad. does anybody have a suggestion for a bar-like-settings-widget. sorry for my english.
I know what you are talking about. There are a few out there. Try "extended controls" in the market. It's also built into CM 6.
Sent from my T-Mobile G2 using XDA App
try launcherProPlus widgets
thanks for your suggestions. i'll give those widgets a shot.

Have you tried the "Power control" widget? I do use LauncherPro, but I don't think it's specific to that.
Go to the market and search for "SwitchPro". It's awesome, and you can customise the appearance, actions, and number of buttons. Easily better than the power widget included with froyo.
I was wondering if there is a way to export the Phone/Contact Manager off the original Mytouch4g ROM to use on any ROM. Cyanogen mod is underway and i kind of got used to the new dialer and will miss it. Maybe there are alternatives i can look at, but the original one works well on hd screens.
On another note, maybe we can get the dropdown Recent apps also individual? Is this possible?
Thank you in advance
Ok, so I got my 4.3 and Sense 5.5 update and, altough there a re a lot of improvements, I'm more pissed off because of some stuff they removed or... ahem... added...
- Why did they remove the lock screens? I know the lock screen widgets are accessible through a right to left swipe in the lock screen, but why remove them altogether? For example, I just want to be able to have a different wallpaper for my lock screen than my home screen...
- Why did they remove the old video highlights themes?I very much welcome the added new settings and permissions for the highlights... Honestly, they're a very big deal. But, for the love of God, why remove the old themes? My favorite (and judging from what I've seen on the internet - youtube, Facebook or HTC Share - "Islandia" is gone... Why?
- Why is the NFC logo pinned in the status bar? Why do I have to see that? I have NFC turned on all the time... :
These are the few things that got me upset about the new Sense 5.5 update. I know that the update has a lot of good new features (and I welcome them all)... But why remove other good features that have been on Sense since I can remember?
Are there other features that have been removed/altered in a bad way?
Please share...
And an UPDATE: I know that they've added a s*it load of new emoticons in the stock SMS app, BUT they made it so that the we cannot see the old ones.
For example, when someone sends me an SMS with an emoticon from HTC One X with Sense 5.0, I just see it as text and they cannot see the new emoticons that I send them... Great thinking HTC (_|_)
Yes. Why the he'll did they removed the medialink hd api?
No more movies on the tv and browsing on the phone at the same time. Really makes the hd medialink useless.
I wonder how long HTC will take to actually understand how things work.
They removed all weather animations in sense 5. And what they provided in that version is now removed in the latest version.
Are they confused?

You got that working before? For me when I pressed home the clip stopped too. Even on Sense 5. I have not tested on sense 5.5 yet.

Can't get my head around removing the old themes. I suppose now that there's custom music available you can use the old music easily enough I would imagine but you can't get the old visual effects back. I love Islandia.
Ridiculous decision, I only went to 4.2.2 and got the six new themes in July, three months and they've removed them?!

It's indeed annoying. I "fixed" this issues with changing NFC on and off via notification toggles or EQS. Thats not a perfect solution but it just takes 2 sec to de-/activate...

Custom music is cool but try to upload your video and have all these warning about copyrighted music etc.
The new themes aren't good or aren't there any themes anymore?
Also, did I read that now the duration of the clip is changeable or am I wrong?
The duration of the clip is variabile, but cannot exceed 30 seconds. Maybe on HTC One Max you can make videos longer than 30 seconds.

That's because the old emoticons were just three-character strings that the messaging app interpreted as a smiley. For example (-: turned into . This caused tons of problems if you were trying to send a more technical text message with tons of parentheses and colons. Now, in Sense 5.5, the emoticons are standard Unicode emoji glyphs that are supposed to be universally compatible with every phone supporting the updated unicode standard. For example, in Android 4.3 (and probably 4.2.2) emojis are partially-implemented. The latest iPhones have a full implementation, as does Google Hangouts (one of the reasons to be excited about Hangouts SMS integration IMO), and now Sense 5.5 has a full implementation of emojis.
The reason your old phone cannot see your new emoticons is because it's either not running a recent enough version of Android or HTC's software on the One X simply does not render the emojis right. Some messaging apps also can strip excess unicode information -- older phones are notorious for this. A simple fix would be to use an alternative SMS/MMS app on the One X, one that fully supports emoji input such as Sliding Messaging Pro, or Textra (don't know if Textra supports ALL of the emoji glyphs, but it has some functionality).
One more note, CM10.x's MMS app also has support for this built-in, so it isn't just some fad that little girls and iPhone users are aware of, it is legitimately an evolving communication standard.

please tell me if you find a way to either downgrade or restore the themes
Also really miss the the ability to disable lockscreens natively. This https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.jraf.android.nolock&hl=en is somewhat of a workaround for those of you in the same boat, doesn't always work perfectly but I haven't found a better solution yet.

Yep, will have to wait for ViperOne team to do their magic. I'm sure they'll have an option to disable the lockscreen whilst retaining pin lock

You are right, I was choosing a song that had 26 seconds in my tests and I wasn't paying attention that I cut that song a few months ago to use it as a ringtone. Now I have chosen a song that was 4 minutes and didn't encounter any restrictions.

I don't like new Gallery and Music apps. Before update i can change track with swiping albumcover left or right. With this update i can not.
Did you notice that the zoom bar disappeared from the camera interface?
