I'm running v6 and loving it. Is there any flashable mode for a stock battery icon?
[EVO 4G Android Development] sivarticus85:
I read that in order to stop the weather FC on RLV6 you had to set compression to 0... how do I go about doing that to fix this?

Notification Settings on sinister rlv8

Great Rom. Thank You. I switched from cm7. I have one issue and that is that I can't customize my ringtone for text messages. The built in standard works but if I was to put music for my text message notification, it wont play it. It shows that a message came in. Let me rephrase that...i did go into settings then notifcation ,oicked the song and applied it but nothing. I also tried to go straight to my music folder and set a song as the default notification sound and yet nothing. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks
[EVO 4G Android Development] sivarticus85:
Wel I know SMS has a notifications setting all on their own... Have you tried going into your messages, hit menu, then into those settings? System notifications and SMS notifications settings are separate in Sense 2.1.
[EVO 4G Android Development] rosario04:
Yes I just did. Messages>Menus>settings>text messages...options given are: delivery reports, priority settings, and sms characters. I don't believe these options are relevant. Unless I am wrong.
[EVO 4G Android Development] rosario04:
Got it! USB Connections to computer>open notification folder>drop songs in there>exit out. Menu>Settings>Personalize>Notification Sound>Messages.

Thanks

I flashed the rosie carousel and am still having problems with the home button loading. Any other ideas that i can try out?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Sinistertensai:
Did you wipe after installing? make sure to wipe cache and dalvick before and after install.
[EVO 4G Android Development] depechemodegurl:
Ok i just wiped everything before and after install and it hasnt done it yet, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed. I did just notice that when I change my skin that the rosie doesnt change to what is on the skin, not sure if this has already been discussed in the thread yet?

Edit: Spoke too soon, the loading of the home screen is happening again.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Sinistertensai:
Hmm try a hot restart after selecting the skin also the rosie is 3.0, 2.1 skins won't change 3.0 rosies.
[EVO 4G Android Development] dblkspecial:
I run rlv5 because I like the 2.1 lockscreen..but everytime I try using Adobe I get force closes. Another question is what lockscreen is on the latest rlv8? I like 2.1 lockscreen more...but like sense 3.0 messaging lol
[EVO 4G Android Development] sivarticus85:
Check out post #76. There's a flashable sense 3.0 MMS zip you can download.

Is there any way to get the usb tethering working on rls5?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Sinistertensai:
My advice flash over to RLV7 and take the lockscreen apk from RLV5 and install it. that way you'll have all the 3.0 goodness except for the lockscreen.

usb tether bugs where in 5 and 6.
[EVO 4G Android Development] dblkspecial:
Will the 2.1 incoming call lockscreen work? Or will I have to unlock it to see who's calling me?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Bravo78:
I like RVL7 but I can't get my 3g to work on that rom. RVL8 is too laggy last time I flashed it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Sinistertensai:
It should, when I get to a pc I can find out for sure.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Sinistertensai:
If you try some of the 8 nightlys you may find one that works better. Some where not included because of other bugs. E.g. no HTC widgets in add widgets but there was/is the browse HTC widgets.
[EVO 4G Android Development] dblkspecial:
Alrighty I appreciate it
[EVO 4G Android Development] dblkspecial:
I'm still running rlv5. How would I change the boot animation to the HTC thunderbolt boot animation??
[EVO 4G Android Development] Sinistertensai:
The boot animation needs to be named spc_bootanimation.zip

Hey everyone just wanted to drop in and say expect a version 9 soon; working out some bugs(Rosie related).
[EVO 4G Android Development] migjr415:
Thank you, looking forward to the update!!
[EVO 4G Android Development] FariF:
I am still running Sinister Rom RLV7 as my daily since the day it came out. It is super stable & fast, I absolutely love it and even donated. ..skipped RLV8 due to some issues but can't wait to see hopefully version 9 and what its got in store for us. Thank you very much.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Sinistertensai:
Some pics of V9, ain't she pretty?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Mweuch:
Thx Sin, will give V9 a shot once released. I used RLV7 when I first root my phone three months ago and loved it! thx
[EVO 4G Android Development] Sinistertensai:
V9 is up. It can be found on My website www.sinister.tensailabs.com, xda, and Rom Manager. Hope you all enjoy it as much as I do. Thank You and Good Night.

Go here. He doubled the .zip on the name.

[EVO 4G Android Development] Sinistertensai:
Yea, sorry must have accidentally added .zip to the zip file name. And currently can't re-upload, rename it delete from the hosting server. I fixed the Rom manager manifest to link with the extra .zip in the name and will also fix it in this thread but hopefully tomorrow I van get things fixes properly again sorry about this.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Mweuch:

[EVO 4G Android Development] huntingr:
Just flashed RLV9. So far, it looks like an awesome ROM! I am having trouble installing apps though. It goes through the installation process, but then get a message "Application Not Installed". Even apps from the Market do not install. Any advice would be appreciated. Thx.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Sinistertensai:
make sure you have background data enabled that way you can install market apps.
[EVO 4G Android Development] huntingr:
Thanks for the quick response Sin. :) "Background Data" was already enabled. I also cannot install apps from the SD card ("Unknown Sources" is also enabled). This is a fresh flash of the ROM.

UPDATE: I used the "Fix apk UID mismatches" in AmonRA recovery. This resolved the issue.
[EVO 4G Android Development] huntingr:
One last question, So far the ROM is working GREAT! What is the best kernel to use (sorry if this is a repeat question)? I am currently using the Aggressive-Freedom-v0.8.5-UNIVERSAL-signed.zip kernel. Thx.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Sinistertensai:
It's all based on personal preference. I personally use stock.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Mweuch:
Great ROM running smooth so far n no problem at all! Very fast also
[EVO 4G Android Development] huntingr:
Perfect, Thanks again!
[EVO 4G Android Development] dean_fx:
Don't believe I have ever tried this. Downloading now. ;-)

EDIT: All I have to say....is WOW. Great work dude. Awesome rom.

I think I am going to rock the stock kernel as advised, but if I was to go ahead and use another...what would be the options...freedom kernel....chopsuey...etc?
[EVO 4G Android Development] definitelee:
I'm liking this ROM. Do you have any options for transparent or semitrans status bar?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Sinistertensai:
Not currently, but you could use the uot kitchen, link = http://uot.dakra.lt/
[EVO 4G Android Development] ScottBroker:
Love this Rom

Very fast and stable. How is the battery life? Should I stick to the stock kernel????
[EVO 4G Android Development] dean_fx:
Battery life is great and normal for me as of now. I'll follow up by the end of the day but looking good!

Stock kernel.
[EVO 4G Android Development] steve97ta:
This one caught my eye and watched the YouTube on rlv8 I believe. This is 2.1 + 3.0? Or full 3.0?
[EVO 4G Android Development] huntingr:
Hey Sin - I've been running this ROM for a day now and have not seen any problems, great job on this! :)

I did notice that there are 2 clock widgets in the ROM:

Clock Widget 3.0.2115142140.58711

Clock Widget 3.0.2114392028.55241

One of them works, and the other one force closes. I can't figure out which one of them is the one that is force closing. This is not a real problem for me since one of them works, but being the OCD type person I am (LOL), I would like to get rid of the non-working one. Do you know which one I can safely delete?
[EVO 4G Android Development] huntingr:
FYI - It shows "MikG - Sense 2.1 + 3.0 - v2.2" as the Build Number in the Settings/About Phone/Software Information/More/Build Number screen.
[EVO 4G Android Development] steve97ta:
Thanks, just flashed this and this is pretty darn solid.
[EVO 4G Android Development] sup3rn0th1ng:
Flashed rom boots up great smooth, but I did a reboot and it just hangs on the boot screen. I have to reflash it to get it to work. Anyone else experience this problem?
[EVO 4G Android Development] huntingr:
FYI - For me, the boot screen came up, then it rebooted, the boot screen came up again, and then it booted normally. This double boot screen only happened on the first boot after the ROM flash. It boots up fine now.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Sinistertensai:
The clock bug is currently not fix-able

All my roms have mik's re-engineered parts (used with permission). There are also parts taken from synergy and xron builds this Rom is a franken of many. All parts are used with permission.

It double loads the HTC EVO 4G screen. It's to insure a secure load.
[EVO 4G Android Development] huntingr:
Great information Sin, thanks again.
[EVO 4G Android Development] sharkboy0901:
Just use titanium backup backup both of them delete one and see if the one you kept force closes if not your good to go if it is restore the old one and delete the one that force closes worked great for me I also have a little OCD like my Rom sqeaky clean
[EVO 4G Android Development] huntingr:
Thanks Shark!

I don't know why, but I thought that both needed to be there for some weird reason. Anyways, I tried your suggestion with successful results! I uninstalled the bad clock widget and now I am in OCD ROM heaven again!

Just for reference (for those who want to know), "Clock Widget 3.0.2114392028.55241" was the bad one, and deleting it had no adverse effects on the ROM (that I can see).
[EVO 4G Android Development] definitelee:
Thanks. I'm gonna try it out.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Bravo78:
So no swype or did I mess something up?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Sinistertensai:
I left swype out for the easy install of its beta.
[EVO 4G Android Development] kash23:
Having same issue as above. Flashed rom on Full wipe, loads up on initial flash but whenever i reboot hangs up at boot screen. I've tried this about 5 times with same issue, last time fully wiped SDCARD as well and still same outcome.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Mweuch:
wait a little longer cuz it will take few reboots but it will wrk fine hopefully! it took mine a little longer to finnaly boot up at normal screen... good luck. this rom is fast n smooth.
[EVO 4G Android Development] kash23:
Re-flashed again and all is well. Does Native Screenshot work in this rom? Can't seem to get it to work.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Mweuch:
Screenshot not working for me neither.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Sinistertensai:
It's not a 3D port, so native screenshot is nonexistent, But shoot me works wonders.
[EVO 4G Android Development] gruesomewolf:
Whats good bro? I'm sure you know already, but we can get native screenshot on this, if you want it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Sinistertensai:
Awesome I'll definitely look into it tomorrow. Also I'll make a note to try using bliss parts again. I think I have an idea to get it working.
[EVO 4G Android Development] gruesomewolf:
Yeah bro that would be awesome. And hit me up anytime for anything.
[EVO 4G Android Development] rico9344:
Hdmi support on this rom isnt available. I tried flashing chopsuey 9.2.7 kernel but no love from it. Will this be included in the next update? Really looking forword to this; i use my evo for presentations!
[EVO 4G Android Development] Sinistertensai:
Hmm didn't know, I hardly use hdmi. I do know for a fact that the froyo roms 1 - 4 support hdmi.

:edit: http://www.gmanapps.com/index.php/component/content/article/39-frontpage/63-gingerbreaddx has some info on hdmi for leaked GB Roms. Hope this helps.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Sinistertensai:
They will but it will make the Rom slower Im currently working on those themes to this rom id say they would be done in about a day.
[EVO 4G Android Development] bbrita:
great thanks
[EVO 4G Android Development] Sinistertensai:
Update

Added a Theme, and it is formatted to work with ReEngineered Sense Rom's.

Working on the others also.
[EVO 4G Android Development] bbrita:
Thanks sinister downloading now
[EVO 4G Android Development] Sinistertensai:
Sure thing and if you could be so kind to tell me how it looks cause I might need to make a warmblood version based on the roms stock theme so it fits better.
[EVO 4G Android Development] bbrita:
i flashed the theme but it didnt do anything still the original theme wiped cache dalvik flashed again still no difference it goes real fast when it updates from updating to the reboot system like its not updating
[EVO 4G Android Development] Sinistertensai:
hmm the flash worked for me hmm ill re do it and post what i find

Edit

Turns out my prior themes will work on this rom and I have not noticed a decrease in speed.

and also the re-engineered one works for me also.
[EVO 4G Android Development] bbrita:
ok cant figure out what im doing wrong maybe i should reflash the rom and try again im going to redownload both and see what happens i'll keep you posted
[EVO 4G Android Development] Sinistertensai:
I fixed the whole mess the theme links I have up now work and there is no decrease in speed.
[EVO 4G Android Development] bbrita:

This is a stupid idea but:

I was giving someones laptop wifi from the hotspot app and my phone got so hot I got a brilliant idea. To put an ice cube on my battery. I watched it melt on contact but I wiped it off right away. I'm suprised my phone didn't blow up it was so hot so I was wondering if anyone elses phone overheats when they turn mobile hotspot on. Or is that just all roms in general do this and I haven't noticed.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Sinistertensai:
I hardly ever use hotspot but I have had the battery get hot from using other apps I doubt any rom is to blame but some kernels have been reported to increase the heat my advice and this is what I did when I noticed a hot battery use methods for decreasing battery usage and thats about it
[EVO 4G Android Development] alaman68:
this Rom is really solid, so there is really nothing to ***** about I guess... How about rotary lockscreen and get rid of the clock in the notification bar. other than that, no problems here. Great job!!!

[EVO 4G Android Development] spyke24:
The Rom is really stable, good speed for a Sence Rom. I have only one problem that has happened, i use handcent SMS And when i download it from the market the phone rebooted and did not install. I tried it again and the same result. Has anyone else had this problem?

(Add) second small issue i noticed, when trying to back up system .apk Files with root uninstaller it tells me i don't have access to this with system files, how ever i can do it with titanium backup. Dose anyone have any ideas about this?
[EVO 4G Android Development] zerowonderboy:
Ok thanks what kernel are you using?netarchy 4.3.4 cfs havs im guessing.
[EVO 4G Android Development] spyke24:
If that's the one that's flashed with the Rom yes. The only mod i used was warm blood and the 4g widget zips.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Sinistertensai:
I have had no issues but with other Roms I have noticed some files after being downloaded they dont work there is a fix though download ninjamorph its free in the market find the file its in system > app select it it will extract it you can then modify it dont though what you need to do is just select finish project and select yes for the file you chose an option should come up that says would you like to replace the modified apk with system something something apk and then its name so you only replace do not zipsign.

[EVO 4G Android Development] sup3rn0th1ng:

2.) Is the sprint hot spot cracked?

Texting not always working - SMS/MMS issue

Works & looks great except after a couple hours I stopped receiving texts and some wouldn't go thru (only 1 out of every 4-5 that I could test myself) also couldn't send a picture text from the message area. Had to open picture, share as a message and then go to the message and "Try Re-Sending" to push it thru.

Anybody else? Is there a fix? (last radio update I tried was 2.15.00.08.08)

HELP please! This seems to be the issue with the past few Gingerbread ROMs I've tried and yes I've researched the forums, did a complete wipe/reset/etc. and a few re-boots after just to make sure.
[EVO 4G Android Development] huntingr:
Not sure if this will help you or not, but do you use Google voice? If so, this may help you. I have heard of some issues with Sprint/Google voice that prevent messages from going to the phone. If so, you could try installing google voice on your phone (reference: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1074006), or changing your Goolge voice settings from your PC - Disable: http://www.google.com/support/voice/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=1207078).

I searched and found the answer to both my questions. Reply not needed.
[EVO 4G Android Development] huntingr:
Has anybody seen an issue where the auto-brightness turns itself off and resets the screen brightness to 100% when using the camera?

If you are experiencing this issue, try this:

Go to "Menu > Settings > Power > Power saver settings", make sure "screen brightness" is checked and "Screen brightness settings" is set to "Automatic".

This resolved the issue completely for me, the auto-brightness now stays enabled when using the camera. I don't know why it works, but it does.

I can't take the credit though, I read about it over at The MikMik (http://themikmik.com/showthread.php?6527-After-using-camera-brightness-resets-to-100/page2 - Post #19)... Thanks Mikee.

- - UPDATE - -

This setting did not eliminate the issue, but it did reduce the occurence of it... Over time, it started happening again. Any suggestions?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Sinistertensai:
Toggle off in quick settings auto brightness go into settings display brightness and select auto. Works for me.

The second one is a graph of today
[EVO 4G Android Development] AirborneCmH:
Shark, I have been running RLV 9 for a few days now with my battery calibrated. I have not flashed a custom kernel, I left the stock kernel with the ROM and have not had any issues and no wake locks. My last charge ended at 24 hours and some change with this ROM with average use. I can only suggest to flash the stock kernel, wipe cache and dalvik, and calibrate your battery. You won't be disappointed.
[EVO 4G Android Development] AirborneCmH:
@Sinister, I just wanted to thank you for an amazing ROM. I have flashed ridiculous amounts of ROMs and always come back to yours. Of all the ROMs I have flashed, the camera always never seems to work properly and take good pics. Your latest RLV9 has the best camera of any ROM, and 10x better than stock, which sucked anyways. The ROM is fully functional and flawless. You work hard at perfecting this ROM, not 10 different projects. Just wanted to personally say thanks on here, it is the least I can do. Look forward to your future releases as long as the OG EVO is still kickin'.
