I think you have just motivated me into flashing a Sense 3 ROM, again.

I think you have just motivated me into flashing a Sense 3 ROM, again.

LOL thats good, I hate sense so this is my answer to something that just works.

 

[jerofld]

Could you post a MD5 for Nocturnal_Xplod_XE_E3D_r302b.zip?

I tried to flash and it failed to flash. I'm going to download again to see if I just had a bad download.

NVM, it was a bad download. I checked file sizes and the second time the download weighed in a little heavier.

 

[XsMagical]

Ah ok. Glad you found the issue.

 

[firegoalie23]

does wifi work on this?

 

[MahaloCat]

does wifi work on this?

Goalie... Errything works. Xs does good work!

 

[DonB]

Nice to see you here XS, I may just have to come back for more now, I left for a bit, but if the support stays here I will be around, good work

 

[jerofld]

Please fix the theme that this ROM puts on 4EXT.

Spoiler

It's impossible to read sometimes. Dark blue text on a black background is never a good color scheme. Especially when you have your logo behind the text.

Thanks

yea sorry about that, i will fix that soon i keep forgetting.

 

[XsMagical]

Ok 302c is uploaded. Fixed some voice stuff. HTC watch and the recovery theme

 

[DonB]

OK, folks using this ROM, please report back any findings like J did this way XS can make the needed fixes, without us feed backing then he will think all is good, so help him out and report all your findings.

Do we have to flash gapps bc I only have playstore. No maps gmail nav talk etc.

 

[DonB]

Most of those you can download from the Play Store

Do we have to flash gapps bc I only have playstore. No maps gmail nav talk etc.

 

[Lilg37]

Yea but I'm asking if we can flash it or have to flash it when flashing this ROM bc I don't want to redownload the apps everytime the ROM updates. So in lamins terms
Do we flash gapps or should they be installed already?

 

[DonB]

No you do not flash Gapps, those days are done with the new phones and Roms now a day, those are for AOSP Roms, you will have to download them and they will always be in your google account so if you decide to go too another ROM Google will download them again for you

When using the installer, you have to select what apps you want. Gapps are in the installer not the rom.

 

[DonB]

There you go, it had been a while since I installed this Rom, LOL I knew you didn't have to flash gapps, lol

 

[XsMagical]

Yea lol new installer lets you pick what you want.

Ok, so after about a day of use, here's what I see (You said beta, so I'm giving feedback!). Most of what I played with worked as advertised. However, I noticed a few things:

You say CRT Animations are included. They are not. I don't care if they are or not, but they are checked in tweaks for Animation on and animation off.

I'm assuming you plan on skinning Leedroid tweaks to be Nocturnal Tweaks. It just isn't yet and I was looking for a separate Nocturnal Tweaks, but found none.

While you greatly improved the readability of the 4EXT skin, there is still one problem with it:

Spoiler

After this page, once you click one of the buttons, the text becomes visible and it is fine to navigate. IMO, I would still prefer the stock theme experience, though.

In your patch notes, you said you still have to tweak the UI? I'm assuming that means changing all of the gingerbread green to blue? Also, could you not use such a deep blue? A lot of your UI is dark, the dark blue isn't a good contrast to the buttons, much like my previous feedback on the 4EXT skin. Sometimes it's hard to see if I checked it or not. I guess this is more opinion than anything, but I figure you want some feedback

As a suggestion, perhaps you could use SuperSU instead of ChansDD's Superuser. There are features that SuperSU have that are nice.

And I have a personal gripe against the Aroma installer. I don't like it. I'll explain why, if so desired. But if enough root enthusiasts like it, I'll just have to figure out a way to delete it from the packages I want to flash.

What app do I use to play with the overclocking speeds. Or what code in terminal emulator.
Forgive me for this is my first HTC, I've only ever had Samsung and lg

Thanks for the feedback,

Nocturnal Tweaks are gone for now. I forgot to update the OP

I will fix the recovery theme or just remove it, not sure yet

Aroma is there so people have a choice on what apps they want to install rather then install a lot of bloat wear then have to remove it every time they update the rom, as well as metroPCS options since i have a lot of metro users.

The rom UI is clean, There isnt a lot of blue in it and that is left over from the older Xplod XE 2.80 base. Most of this rom will be grayed out.

CRT is in the rom, its turned off in the build.prop for now since a hand full of people report lag with it.

Right now i want to get everything 100% working besides CRT and then work on the rest of the UI. but its almost finished. I have come a long way with this build and so far its looking a lot better then r300.

I will add SuperSU on the next build

I forgot to say this, and am kind of ashamed that I didn't, but thanks for developing this ROM. It's hard work, I can imagine. I'm not trying to put it down or anything. I'm just trying to be a good beta tester

About CRT - Totally understand that. I was just reading the feature list and trying to see if it worked. Speaking of, the feature list has a few repeats (Titanium is in there twice, so is the note about using the Evo 4G EPST).

UI - The color of the checkmarks are a lesser issue. And I understand that you're more worried about function than form at this point. When you get to the UI part and want feedback, I'll be happy to give some for you. I apologize for derailing that from function to form.

Aroma installer - I got used to 4EXT Recovery Control completely automating my flashing experience. Aroma puts an end to that. That's my gripe in a nutshell. But I can certainly understand you wanting to support your Metro PCS users with one install file. Cuts down on confusion. And I'm sure you heard that Boost Mobile is going to be picking up the Evo 3D after a slight rebranding, and that would make it work for them, too.

Also, one thing I noticed after flashing AnthraX is that my phone got really laggy. Even after OC'ing to 1.51 GHz. Is that something you also experience? On the stock HTC kernel, the ROM is speedy. I'm just wondering if I have more download issues or is it something other people experience.
