4.1.0:

  • Fixed market not allowing you to purchase apps
  • Flattened rosie widgets (thanks hamdir)
    • This removes the “3d” that is seen when switching screens in rosie. Removing this barely-noticeable features drastically speeds up the responsiveness of Sense.
    • More info (Desire HD forums) : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1302914
    • Get an unmodified copy on Fresh Updater if you notice it and don’t like it
  • Dancing droid for incoming phone calls when they don’t have a contact picture (thanks LeeDroid and SteelH)
  • Removed Carrier IQ intent actions
    • This is mostly just a cosmetic thing to clean up all the errors in logcat of actions trying to write to ciq
    • It however will and should have a positive impact on both battery, and the speed of the phone itself
    • Actions like smsnotify (where any incoming texts are sent over to ciq) happen before you even get the real sms notification on your phone, so removing actions like this should speed things up
    • This also allows for a lower score (by 100 points in the case of voodoo) on CIQ detection apps. The only traces left now are drivers embedded in the kernel itself which I can’t remove. I always have and always will use the stock kernel so they have to stay there. But this is just like the fact that your computer has thousands of drivers installed that it never uses. They do nothing and hurt nothing.
    • Keep in mind that CIQ is still 100% removed and gone. Your phone logs nothing and reports nothing. I’m simply cleaning up all of the iqagent.action’s.
  • Updated Market to 3.4.4
  • Updated Google Maps to 6.0.3
  • Updated Sprint Visual Voicemail to 5.2.0.24

4.0.6:

  • Included V6 SuperCharger in /system/xbin/V6_SuperCharger_u8.sh for those who want to use it.
    • Thanks to zeppelinrox for this. I am NOT the dev and won’t be supporting any questions with this script as it’s extensive. Please visit the original thread if you have any. 
  • Updated Fresh Updater (v1.4.0) to rename themes to mods.
    • Added some helpful text prompts to hopefully alleviate questions from when people don’t read the FAQ. :)  
    • Removed some deprecated options to clean up the menus
  • Added SMS backup options in stock mms.apk – thanks to SteelH
  • Added secured/passworded folder in stock mms.apk thanks to SteelH
  • Boot screen updated from just Fresh Evo to Fresh Evo 3d – thanks to notasimpleway for updating my original boot screen by wrx4memp
    • Anyone who got the last incremental update has this already but most dont.
  • Disabled pagination in rosie’s app drawer – thanks to SteelH
    • Mod in fresh updater to put it back for those that won’t like it like that
  • By popular demand: espresso bottom bar in rosie. :P
    • This is a “trademark” of fresh rom that I’ve been doing since the Hero days. I left it out of the evo 3d rom but had a ton of requests to put it back so here it is!
    • NOTE: If you don’t see espresso then you probably aren’t on the default “HTC” skin. Open up your settings and then skins and change it to the one titled “HTC.” The preview picture will show the espresso bar.
  • Created a new skin called “HTC Stock (Fresh)” which is the old default theme that came with the phone because i replaced the default HTC with espresso. So if you don’t like Espresso you can easily change back in skin picker. Just look for it.
  • Downgraded busybox to 1.18.2 to resolve some scripting issues
  • Updated SuperUser to 3.0.7
  • Updated vending/market to 3.3.12

4.0.5:

  • Battery % in battery icon, stock battery
  • Unlocked hotspot – I wouldn’t typically include this but wifi tether has been so buggy lately so I am. I’m leaving wifi tether for those that may want it still – thanks Leoisright
  • Optional shortcut-less lock screen
    • I removed the shadow behind the bubbles. You can remove the shortcuts completely by setting them to an app you don’t need, and then uninstalling the app. This will leave your sense 3.0 lockscreen blank.
  • 3g/1x fix – have the status bar actually show 1x when your phone is in 1x instead of always 3g – thanks nivron
  • Fixed white bar around HTC photo widget – htc’s fault!
  • Updated Maps to 5.12.0
  • Updated Market to 3.3.11
  • Removed applications are copied to /sdcard/fresh-removed-apks4
  • Updated boot screen thanks to @kencaruthers

4.0.4:

  • Fresh Updater for the 3d – only tested with TWRP
  • Added bootscreen from Fresh Evo. One for the Evo3d is still being made.
  • Flashlight 1.2
  • es file explorer 1.6.0.7
  • wifi tether 3.1-beta6

4.0.3:

  • Based on the newest OTA – 2.08.651.3 / Android 2.3.4 / Sense 3.0
  • Stock kernel (2.6.35.13#1) modified only to allow root/remount/boot scripts/disable CIQ
  • CIQ stripped
    • Removed old CIQ/other spying logs at boot
    • Copy/paste from my release notes from when I was doing this on the Evo:
      • Carrier IQ (aka CIQ, or just IQ) is a market research tool used by Sprint/HTC to see what the phones are being used for. You can find out more about Carrier IQ on their website.
      • Now there is a huge group of people out there that would tell you this is Sprint/HTC spying on us, and they are right. You can see an example of what type of information is gathered by looking at a sample report from Carrier IQ. It is essentially spyware and is tied in to practically every HTC application on our phone.
      • This isn’t new news and really isn’t a secret. Carriers gathering this information helps them see how the phones are being used and how they can improve them in the future. I didn’t decide to remove it because I have a tin foil hat on and I’m worried about what they’re collecting, although those people will certainly benefit. :) I chose to remove it because it has a number of services that are constantly running in the background and chew up quite a bit of CPU (and battery) at times.
      • While I haven’t gone as far as to remove the calls to it from every single application on the phone I have completely disabled and removed the service from the ramdisk, the binaries, and the libs. Thus if you happen to be the type that watches logcat you will see some errors saying individual applications can’t reach the service. Nothing to worry about.
      • Questions? Feel free to ask.

  • 4-in-1 reboot menu + extra menu toggles – i don’t remember where i ported this from, sorry :/
