Announcing Hive III ROM
Cko7rsb.png


"Senseless -- in both meanings of the word."​


Welcome to Hive; my first ROM. I know this ROM is arriving to the party pretty late, but I thought that the Jetstream community could use a little love. We certainly didn't get much from HTC!

The Hive Story:

After seeing the high prices of other cellular enabled tablets I winced. It was shortly after that I found a used Jetstream that was selling for a song. I gave it a try and found that if you look past the brutal pathetic abysmal software then this tablet is a gem.

Since software is well, changable, I thought I would give cooking a ROM a try. I hope that you will try a custom ROM on your Jetstream -- even if it is not this one. The Jetstream is a great deal better than the software that shipped with it.

As of the third release of Hive I tried working on the kernel. I found that I could borrow from many similarly equipped devices to obtain updates to drivers. I also tried to improve the processing speed and reduce the battery drain without overclocking.

Without further adieu, let me introduce you to Hive.

	[ ! Known Bugs ! ]


Gallery:

:(  Replay from Camcorder crashes.
:(  Camcorder link to Gallery does not work.

These are both related to hard links between HTC apps.


General:

:(  com.android.acore occasionally crashes once after Google account registration.

This is harmless and should not recur.

:(  Pen -> Tutorial stops.

The pen tutorial won't finish without HTC Sense.

:(  USB Connections do not notify by default.

Check the workarounds post for details.

I recently overrode volume down to bring up the menu -- as opposed to navigating down. It was my solution to the menu not being accessible when using TeamWin Recovery. It has been so long since I used ClockworkMod Recovery that I forgot that this would break it.

Thank you very much for reporting this. I will create a hive_i-cwm.zip soon and post it.

I will also look into a unified fix for Hive II.

installation went flawlessly. looks very very nice. the first proper rom (at least as far as the installation goes).
hopefully it'll run as good. thank you very much.
are you in touch with show_p? it looks like you know your android - maybe you could give him a hand..

Thanks for the kind words. I expect that there will be a many hiccups before things are stable, but maybe Hive II will be largely free of issues. My testing has mostly consisted of crossing my fingers!

I welcome criticisms and suggestions both, so if you know of ways to improve Hive then let me know. I'll let you know if your ideas are feasible.

are you in touch with show_p? it looks like you know your android - maybe you could give him a hand..

No, I'm not in touch with @show-p1984. It was he that found the /boot partition block number -- which is incidentally the same as the HTC Vivid. That allowed the installer to flash the kernel as well. Avoiding the nightmares associated with kernels and WiFi modules should go a long way to avoiding the frustration people have found with Jetstream ROMs.

I'm going to try to see about upgrading Hive to Honeycomb 3.2 once I have the time. It may too difficult a task for me. If it works out then I might feel familiar enough with Android to be useful to the likes of him.

For some reason this won't recognize my pen. Probably gone with the rest of HTCs crap.
Any chance of reviving it?

Do you mean the pen icon on the system bar? If so then no because that is an HTC Sense (Rosie.apk) thing. I don't think that I can revive this functionality, but I will if I find a way.

Your pen should still work with individual apps, just not ADW Launcher. Since the pen was a common way to take screen captures I included a screen capture app with the install -- it is not as handy though.

I wiped the device while installing. Now it doesn't know that I have a pen. Application that are dedicated to pen supporting tablets (lecture notes for example) doesn't recognize the pens hardware.

When testing the HTC Scribe pen I used Papyrus. The QR code is below.

[QRCODE]play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.steadfastinnovation.android.projectpapyrus[/QRCODE]

Papyrus seems to be working fine with the HTC Scribe pen -- in an active manner. I don't readily know why it works when other apps apparently do not, but I will try to figure it out.

The [X] Use stylus (hardware detection) option in LectureNotes is disabled in Hive I -- as you said. When I selected the same option on an HTC Flyer running Jelly Bean it mentioned that this feature requires Android 4+. Are you sure that this ever worked for you? Could you actually have been using some variation of the [X] Use stylus (software emulation) option?

I'll install another Jetstream ROM and look into it a little more, but that will take time.

it worked fine using lecturenotes. on hardware mode.
somehow papyrus knows how to activate the pen option. this is a bit weird.

That crash is listed as a ! Known Issue ! in the Changelog. It happens because I removed MyPen*.apk which is run when you click Pen -> Tutorial. The tutorial stopped in the middle because it relies on HTC Sense -- which I removed. I figured that it was better to just crash right off the bat until I came up with a more elegant solution.

I'm still looking into the pen and I will try to get it working for Hive II. Do you know of any other apps other than LectureNotes that don't work? I know of Papyrus and Marker that do work.

Solved!
today i noticed that the pen might not be recognized by the app - but for some reason it does sense the pressure recognition. i e-mailed the developer that mentioned it could be because of the ROM id.
i made a short comparison with other build.prop and found a ro.product.id that was changed in this version. i reverted it back to HTC PG09410 and now the pen is recognized.

That is very good to know; thank you for sharing. I'm pleased that you fixed it because I was on a merry chase trying to solve this pen issue -- and it was not leading me towards the build.prop.

There isn't an ro.product.id property in in any of the Jetstream ROMs that I checked. There is, however, an HTC PG09410 value (for ro.product.model) in other Jetstreams ROMs. The perplexing part is that the value of it is set twice and the second (and presumably final) is HTC PucciniLte.

I'd like some more clarification on what you changed so I can incorporate it into the ROM. Alternatively, you can just attach your build.prop -- provided you didn't put any personal information in it.

If you search the build.prop from your previous ROM then I think you will find that it sets the above property twice. I assumed that it used the value from the second set and not the first, but I was wrong. I verified this with a terminal getprop command. That is very weird property setting behavior and makes me think that build.prop is read bottom-to-top.

I think that this is the only instance of this problem fortunately. I will incorporate your fix into HIVE II. Thanks for helping out!

This ROM is only Honeycomb 3.1, so not even close to KitKit 4.4. Even though this ROM is new it is still running an older operating system.

Getting a newer version of Android to run is not an easy task. It requires help from HTC and/or a lot of reverse engineering. The former is unlikely to happen and the latter is beyond my capabilities.

I would still suggest that you try this ROM; you might find it an improvement over what you were already using.

    Announcing Hive III ROM
    Cko7rsb.png


    "Senseless -- in both meanings of the word."​


    Welcome to Hive; my first ROM. I know this ROM is arriving to the party pretty late, but I thought that the Jetstream community could use a little love. We certainly didn't get much from HTC!

    The Hive Story:

    After seeing the high prices of other cellular enabled tablets I winced. It was shortly after that I found a used Jetstream that was selling for a song. I gave it a try and found that if you look past the brutal pathetic abysmal software then this tablet is a gem.

    Since software is well, changable, I thought I would give cooking a ROM a try. I hope that you will try a custom ROM on your Jetstream -- even if it is not this one. The Jetstream is a great deal better than the software that shipped with it.

    As of the third release of Hive I tried working on the kernel. I found that I could borrow from many similarly equipped devices to obtain updates to drivers. I also tried to improve the processing speed and reduce the battery drain without overclocking.

    Without further adieu, let me introduce you to Hive.

    Instructions:

    1. Boot to HBOOT -- hold volume down from power off.
    2. Select RECOVERY* -- the second option.
    3. Select install zip (ClockworkMod Recovery) or Install (TeamWin Recovery) from menu and browse to where you saved hive_*.zip.
    4. The AROMA installer will guide you from here -- in English only.

    * If you don't have a custom recovery then I suggest you view the following video guide to get started.



    I hope that you enjoy Hive!

    I know it makes no sense, but just do it.


    If you are having WiFi issues then please view the following post.


    If you want the previous release of Hive then please use the following links.

    Hive II is available for downloading -- and later hating if it disappoints. It should now work with both TeamWin and ClockWorkMod recovery.


    Please give the new PC style keyboard an honest try before hating it. It is not friendly to international users, but they probably have another favorite keyboard.

    The awful default mail client has been replaced by K-9 Mail. It has a many downloads -- and a million people cannot be wrong about it being good.

    Those are the headline changes, but you can consult the changelog for more details.

    installation went flawlessly. looks very very nice. the first proper rom (at least as far as the installation goes).
    hopefully it'll run as good. thank you very much.

    Thanks for the kind words. I expect that there will be a many hiccups before things are stable, but maybe Hive II will be largely free of issues. My testing has mostly consisted of crossing my fingers!

    I welcome criticisms and suggestions both, so if you know of ways to improve Hive then let me know. I'll let you know if your ideas are feasible.

    are you in touch with show_p? it looks like you know your android - maybe you could give him a hand..

    No, I'm not in touch with @show-p1984. It was he that found the /boot partition block number -- which is incidentally the same as the HTC Vivid. That allowed the installer to flash the kernel as well. Avoiding the nightmares associated with kernels and WiFi modules should go a long way to avoiding the frustration people have found with Jetstream ROMs.

    I'm going to try to see about upgrading Hive to Honeycomb 3.2 once I have the time. It may too difficult a task for me. If it works out then I might feel familiar enough with Android to be useful to the likes of him.
