Well nightly builds of RLV4 will be up soon, so stalk this forum to get them.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mboliver:
woo-hoo! I can't wait.....however.....I will ;-)
[EVO 4G Android Development] AbsolutZeroGI:
If you haven't done so already:

Themed messages widget (the white boxes one, I love it when those are themed)

4x5 app drawer (it just feels more smooth than 4x4 app drawer)

optional 4x5 workspace

inverted messages app

themed htc keyboard

inverted contacts app (if possible without sacrificing performance)

Any framework optimizations that can be made for extra speeds :D

When RLS4 comes out, I'll definitely be trying this out :). I really enjoyed your work on Myn's Warm Rom and I remember you theming a messaging widget for me personally which was awesome of you.

Can't wait, I'll keep an eye out.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Deejaydark:

[EVO 4G Android Development] Sinistertensai:
In the first nightly there are some slight issues with the rosie, but its fixed now. all I need to do is just apply it to the ROM. ( :note: all nightlys will be 4x5 and 5 row app) When RLV4 gets here there will be an optional flash included to get 4x5 and 5row app. and of course It'll be stable.
[EVO 4G Android Development] runwitme:

I'm sure though that you can push it to your device.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Sinistertensai:
tap phone icon on rosie then menu, people, go over to the web icon select an online directory e.g. facebook then hit menu and select refresh. your contacts images should then update.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Sinistertensai:

Sinister this Rom is great. Just flashed v4 the other day. Only thing is now all of my calendar is not syncing with the exchange server. It was all there before with v3 but missing half with v4. any clues? Thanks!
[EVO 4G Android Development] pegb856:
Me too!

[EVO 4G Android Development] Sinistertensai:
re sync it, Like disconnect and then re-connect it and the issue should be gone. V4 has a lot of mods and tweak's with many things, they're mostly for speed. But the method used may cause some issues when a user flashes over from another version and or Rom the best way to fix this is logging out or disconnecting and then login in or re-connecting. To various sync and web client apps e.g. facebook, Microsoft exchange pop3 accounts. If that doesn't work a full wipe maybe needed then re-flash the Rom.

[EVO 4G Android Development] Sinistertensai:
So release version five can go two ways it can be sense 2.1 or sense 2.0 same features in both sense 2.1 supports landscape and has some additional things that most would like such as HTC hub easy theme changing and some minor improvements. So its you the users choice.

Sense 2.0 or 2.1?
[EVO 4G Android Development] runwitme:
Any chance In the future for sinister 2.3 tweek rom?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Sinistertensai:
edit

ohh sensation not sure as of yet maybe for RLV6?
[EVO 4G Android Development] mlewis2388:
I'd say 2.0 only because my corporate Exchange doesn't work with 2.1
[EVO 4G Android Development] Sinistertensai:
You wanna test the nightly? So far its working for me.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jamesra83:
Hey sinister Ive Ben running RLV4 and its awesome. How can I get the nightly'from your Tom?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Sinistertensai:
You asked you shall receive. Just sent it to ya.

also it wipes so back up any important info apps etc titanium back up is good for this.
[EVO 4G Android Development] :
Can I participate? Which sense version is it?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Sinistertensai:
Sent and sense 2.1 and android gingerbread It's a port of the shift. also first install and boot will take a while also it wipes (It's needed to get it to work).
[EVO 4G Android Development] :
Alright thanks bro! I'll try my best to find any bugs haha. I can't wait till HTC releases kernel source since I have a novatec screen.
[EVO 4G Android Development] :
Hey Sinister you think you'll have the brightness fixed by the time you release? Since HTC is supposedly updating the Evo on the 6th.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Sinistertensai:
Well if that update is gingerbread and sense 2.1; Ill just use that stock as a base for final release.
[EVO 4G Android Development] reverepats:
Hey sinister....I was directed to this thread by a buddy of mine and was curious if yur still allowing some to test yur latest version?.....if not, its no big deal.....I can wait till its released......thanks a lot man.....look forward to it :P
[EVO 4G Android Development] :
The beta is so far so good. No weird quirks yet.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Sinistertensai:
Sent. and it should be released soon. just one thing holding it back really well a few things brightness but I think there's no fix. htc hub and landscape Currently landscape removes all htc widgets so ehh I'll get it soon enough.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Sinistertensai:
That's always good to hear.
[EVO 4G Android Development] :
Hopefully the update from Sprint will provide the brightness fix we need. Curse my novatec screen!
[EVO 4G Android Development] reverepats:
Yup for it....thanks a lot man...really Appreciate it
[EVO 4G Android Development] Sinistertensai:
Sure thing.
[EVO 4G Android Development] :
Brightness fix! Yay!
[EVO 4G Android Development] Sinistertensai:
sadly no find's where conclusive in the OTA but most beta tester's have been runny this as a daily for day's.

final release has many behind the scene Modifications. Oh and yea Official Release for RLV5!
[EVO 4G Android Development] :
Downloading!
[EVO 4G Android Development] Sinistertensai:

No hotspot hack ? So can I use caulkins hotspot hack on this

MikG v1.0 Sense 2.1 + 3.0

Updated kernel
[EVO 4G Android Development] Sinistertensai:
Yea you could use that. Didn't know caulkin had a shift hotspot hack. I'll make a zip to fix as soon as I reach a computer.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Matstarr:
does this have the new GB with the radios pri and kernel?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Sinistertensai:
Not the EVO's but the EVO shift's

Also WiFi fix download from market wirless tether and your phones now a hotspot.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Deejaydark:
Sh1t my bad... It's only for 2.2
[EVO 4G Android Development] Deejaydark:
Can I use netarchy kernels on this. I ask because you can't on MikG
[EVO 4G Android Development] Sinistertensai:
Not to sure about it. But netarchy say's people would have to install and see

"

<netarchy>	SinisterTensai, I wouldn't know, someone would have to try and see heh

"
[EVO 4G Android Development] Deejaydark:
That sucks that it don't work... I tried.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Sinistertensai:
Best bet, try a shift kernel.
[EVO 4G Android Development] aplacetorest:
love this rom! Super fast! Kernel compatibility list? Will a shift kernel hurt the phone though, cause its an evo?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Sinistertensai:
Not to sure. The stock one on the ROM seems to be working fine for me.
[EVO 4G Android Development] aplacetorest:
really? i get major battery drain after a 5 minute call and maybe 10 texts i lose 25-30%.

Since this is a shift port, is there anyway at all this can hurt the evo? Obviously its tailored and safe for the evo, but just wondering
[EVO 4G Android Development] Sinistertensai:
Hmm, Odd. battery drain. that shouldn't be happening. see I modified the background apps run time (behind the scenes) hmm do you have an app the constantly runs in the background? e.g. facebook sync or gmail sync etc? if so disable those or change the settings to only update when you want.

and the draining should stop.

also hurt the evo? don't think so. I'd just be warry of flashing certain things.
[EVO 4G Android Development] :
I concur.

As in I don't have the problem.
[EVO 4G Android Development] aplacetorest:
thanks for the tips! Warry of flashing certain things like what? I dont want to mess it up!
[EVO 4G Android Development] Sinistertensai:
Kernels etc somethings may break the Rom's functionality. Just back up before flashing and remember to wipe. mostly dalvick and cache.
[EVO 4G Android Development] aplacetorest:
thank you so much for all your help with this!! So kernel wise im assuming i flash shift ones not evo ones? Or a universal one like netarchy right? :P Thank you again!
[EVO 4G Android Development] Sinistertensai:
Yes Shift and Universal's.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Sinistertensai:
Working new OTA kernel no loses here.

Fix's brightness

also fix's the soft key glitch that some where experiencing

Only flash the kernel do not update anything else.

Since the app doesn't work, you've got no choice but to use the browser. However its a lag fest.

[Xoom General] madsquabbles:
i can't stand any apps for forum browsing. i like tabbed browsing, but great tip.

so what causes the slowdown? i'm making a guess that it's the text antialiasing. they must have it set to high which makes for the blurry type. any way to tweak it?
[Xoom General] DANOinSD:
ditto, nasty yellow colors, but scrolling is so much smoother with no lag. Thanks!

So what is the cause of it running so slow to begin with? I mean it's great that we have a work around, but for an $800 device I expect it to be able to browse a simple website without the need for a work around to keep it from lagging.
[Xoom General] int_19h:
Use any of the alternative browsers that use a different engine - which as of today are either Firefox or Opera Mobile. Both show XDA forums just fine with no lag.

(ditto for Slashdot, if you read/post comments there regularly - it also has the same trouble with stock browser)

is there anymore lag on the lockscreen, like you dont have to slide twice?
[Atrix 4G General] lesonal:
****ing awesome battery life!
[Atrix 4G General] aszrael1266:
out of 10 times I only had to slid my finger twice once. The finger print reader scans much better now also. Battery life has gone up. Screen brightness has increased along with sharpness of pics. The pics I've transfered to my phone I took with my dslr looked washed out before. Now they look exactly like they should. Touch screen is more responsive now I think its a good and bad thing. I get more accidental selects now due to it.
[Atrix 4G General] seh6183:
Are you over exaggeraring? Be honest. Because if this is the case, I may be willing to give up root for it.

Your telling me that the camera and screen quality is better? Are you certain that the lock screen slider is much more responsive?

Edit

Sorry one more thing. Do you think the new added responsiveness only applies to blur? Im using launcher pro, do you think that would become more responsive? Thanks
[Atrix 4G General] palmboy5:
I did initially think the camera was crap until I viewed its pictures on my PC, so I know what you're talking about. But... would software really be able to save the natural crappiness of AMOLED PenTile?

[Atrix 4G General] ogar1978:
Is the update still only available to beta testers?

From all the posts it makes it seem it is available for anyone though a check for updates does nothing for me.
[Atrix 4G General] Gr8Danes:
Personally, I would caution everyone before updating. There are numerous issues behind the scenes that need to be worked out. Can not divulge details, but I would personally wait until it has been tested further. :eek:
[Atrix 4G General] aszrael1266:
I've never used blur on my phone. The first app I put on it as soon as it was opened was luncher pro so I can't say how blur acts now. Its not the camera that has improved its the display of the phone. I do believe it can be done by software by adjusting the phones display (I.E. changing gama and other little behind the scenes things to make colors stand out more)

From what I know the update should be pushed out today. It does take some time and I thought my phone froze up while updating but it just takes time after the phones its first reboot so be patient. As far as brightness goes having it turned down as low as it can get its still brighter then it was before at 20-30%. I use to keep the phone at about 15-20% and now with it turned down as much as I can get it, it is still brighter then before.
[Atrix 4G General] seh6183:
Is there a time frame I should be worried about here? Im rooted, have the webtop hack, and the adeo rom. Do I need to put all this back to stock before a certain time or ill miss out on the update?

The only thing I would be sacrificing is root. I am new to android, in your guys experience, how long does it take for updates to get rooted after they are released. I just don't think I want to give up root yet because I enjoy freezing all this CRAP that moto put on the phone.
[Atrix 4G General] Empire101:
So the update will be "pushed" to the phones automatically if not rooted? Our does it need to be downloaded from MOTO...?
[Atrix 4G General] Tennis11:
If I do the update I my phone wont reset right? Ill keep all my apps and settings?

Never live in the past but always learn from it.
[Atrix 4G General] jpinoy:
If you're not up to date and you do a system update check, if there is any new updates, it should finded it. But as far as I know, the updates will be there if your phone is not up to date...

Rooting an update depends on the dev community backing the phone has, i.e. Droid X, which I had, updates were basically rooted within a day or so, look at the DX with the just released GB, it has a method for rooting already... and this phone doesn't look like it has as much dev backing, so it can take a while..

If you've done mods to your phone, and you try to update and it fails, it's most likey the mods are the ones stoping the updates, as it does checks on certain system files that need to match..
[Atrix 4G General] seh6183:
The update sounds great but I think ill wait for everyone to experiment with it first, then when the root comes out ill make the jump. Sounds like a lot of things that bothered me are fixed though. Too bad I can't grab it yet :(

I honestly probably would, im just scared as hell to try and remove these Adeo nods. The process looks involved. And I think I even read something that said wifi could break? Scary stuff
[Atrix 4G General] seh6183:
I've done the update, retaining my root, and can confirm the phone is fast as hell. Use these guides:
