I am willing to try this, but its a lot easyer to flash it trough cwm.
Did you manage to make it a flashable zip??

THANKS!
Flashing now....

EDIT:
- Brightness in a dark is indeed a bit to low (to me).
- Still seeing last apps in pulldownmenu
- Extended settings not there in pulldownmenu.
- Notificationbar has the same powerpercentage as the G-Lite rom

BTW: i flashed it on top of RMK40's untouched gingerbread sense.

EDIT2: I attached the file that cjward23 made (Thanks for that) and the file to restore it to standard. (both are flashable).

Yes, it was, and also a big thank for your help ;)

@niksie: ok, intressting, I always thought that the changes for the extendet settings and the "no last programs" patch also do this over the framework-res... But good to hear that this is not affected by this...
will wait for the feedback from some other users and then make a optimised optimised version ;) maybe the devs would also like to use this then intheir rom?

The no apps in the notification bar and extended settings is in SystemUI.apk

OK - now I am a little confused - although it is friday afternoon and its been a long week....

I would really like to try this. It looks like excellent work.

BUT - I have CJWards transparent pulldown bar with no recently used programs and the extended settings, I also have a battery %age mod from UOT.

Which if any, of the above will I lose by flashing this?

@cjward23: ok, thank you for the info!

I made a second one today. this time it is a bit brighter in dark rooms.
Please try it if you like and give me feedback.
This time i already have a flashable zip ;)


Flashed it, seems fine. Brightness is a lot better in dark rooms....

@crazyc: you will loose all modifications done to the framework not the systemui.apk (last apps and settings in the pulldownmenu)

Hi Guys, thank you for all your reply's!

@xT4Z1N4TRx :
Thank you for your help, I will pm you that you don't forget, but I think it would be better to tell it here in the topic, maybe it will also help some other guy's?

@waydownsouth:
Thank you, sounds also very good and i think i can handle this, but at least, i will try ;)
Do i really need apk manager? Can't I just open the framework-res.apk with winrar and save it also with winrar in "save only" mode?
What programm would be the best / easiest to do changes in the arrays.xml?

@0.0 & azrash: Please don't missunderstand me, i don't have a problem with the battery drain, i LOVE it! It lasts for me a day without a problem while turned on everything i need ;) I had to put my old HD2 everyday around 18:00 on the charger, so i really LOVE this Device & Rom ;)

Sure dude, I'll post it when i'm on my laptop

Thanks for sharing your modified framework files! I had a go, but unfortunately I have one of those LCD panels that tend to flicker now and again at the low brightness values, so I've had to revert to stock.

quick question, did you modified anything else apart from the brightness change? if you did, is it possible to get a flashable zip that contains only the brightness change? i like everything else about my notification so i dont want it to change.

When you make a flashable zip, it will always replace the whole apk.
This zip contains the framework-res.apk so any changes you have made to notification icons, and battery etc will be undone

    [ROM][07/18/11] Virtuous Sense v2.0.0 :: Enhanced & Optimized Stock ROM (2.42.405.2)

    Virtuous Sense is a custom ROM for the HTC Vision series of phones (G2, DesireZ, etc). The goal is to provide a simple, Sense-based, mostly-stock ROM based on the official Desire-Z Sense ROM with essential bug fixes and only subtle enhancements. Virtuous started on the HTC Droid Incredible and is currently one of the most popular ROMs for that device. Virtuous for the Incredible has over 6000 users with an established reputation for stability; which we intend to continue for Vision users.

    Features
    • Based off the official DesireZ Sense ROM (WWE 2.42.405.2), deodexed and zipaligned.

    • Pre-rooted with the latest version of Superuser and modified ramdisk to allow adb remount, mock locations, etc.

    • Wifi calling included and fully functional, conditionally installed for T-Mobile USA users only.
    • Optical trackpad unlock/wake.

    • Enhanced reboot options built-in, allowing for booting into recovery, bootloader, hot boot, etc.

    • Virtuous Sense custom kernel with overclocking daemon (no need for SetCPU/Tuner). Screen Off: 245760 / 599040 (conservative). Screen On: 245760 / 998400 (ondemand).

    • IO optimizations such as use of ext4 for all mounts and larger read-ahead buffer for improved sdcard performance.

    • Updated versions of all Market-available apps.

    • All Market-installable apps installed in /data/app. These apps are automatically installed for you both on initial install and after a factory reset/wipe. There are custom scripts to use Android's package manager (pm) to manage these apps, which ensures they are installed properly.

    • Added applications: ChromeToPhone, Google Voice and Titanium Backup. Since these are Market apps, they are automatically installed in /data/app for easy removal if desired.

    • Bloatware, defined as anything you could easily choose to download from the Market yourself, has been removed.

    • Disabled boot animation audio.

    • Automatic Virtuous OTA upgrade notification and installation via ROM Manager.

    I made a flashable version of the newest OTA (2.42.405.4). We have no idea what the changelog looks like, so don't expect anything too different. What this is:

    - the 2.42.405.4 OTA patches merged into the 2.42.405.2 RUU.
    - rooted
    - deodexed
    - zipaligned
    - busybox added
    - init.d support added

    Nothing else. No bloat removed, no custom kernel, no OC daemon, etc. Flash it via recovery (CWM/4EXT). It won't modify your radio or anything like that.

    Version 0.8.0 is now available! Please note that a full wipe is required prior to installation, as the this is a completely new version of Sense.

    This release represents a huge amount of work. We had to redo the entire ROM and ran into several complicated bugs. Quite honestly, the last bug was so frustrating we were about to give up. Fortunately we did not and are able to bring you the absolute latest version of Sense based on Android 2.2.1.

    Enjoy!
