[EVO 4G Android Development] SteelH:
If you want that Sprint 4G boot animation back, do the following...

Use whatever method you like to change the following filenames in /system/customize/resource/

SPC_animation_final.bak -> SPC_animation_final.mp3

spc_bootanimation.bak -> spc_bootanimation.zip
[EVO 4G Android Development] SteelH:
If you want a % battery MOD for v1.0 or v1.01, this one (credit & thanks to Evolutionmods) works with this ROM.

If you would like DSP Manager for 1.0, 1.01, 1.02 -> FLASH THIS

If you like this ROM but prefer a more Gingerbread AOSP look, click [ROM](6-26-11) SNS Gingerbread v1.1, OTA 4.24 Sense, Actually looks like gingerbread!. ldc2335 has taken this rom as a base and done some cool theme/modding!
[EVO 4G Android Development] MrReptar:
Sweet, will give a try later today.

Thanks.

I wanted to wait til you were fully reserved.

Woot woot!
[EVO 4G Android Development] SteelH:

[EVO 4G Android Development] SteelH:
Yeah, phone is a mess right now with no USB port. Trying to animate some things and it's giving me a headache.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jayharper08:
Way to go Steel! Thank you!

Sent from "Deebo The Evo" via XDA premium
[EVO 4G Android Development] alammori:
Thank you steel.:)
[EVO 4G Android Development] Evolutionmods:
Can't wait to try this mod ! Lol I'm downloading the Rom now .
[EVO 4G Android Development] dodgeboy:
Works great! I flashed over top of the stock ROM, and had no ill effects... Thanks for your work on this!
[EVO 4G Android Development] fixxxer2008:
shocked you made a new rom man, i thought you were done developing?... anyways i used to love the steelh rom back in the day. but ive since switched to aosp. good to see you back though! :D
[EVO 4G Android Development] SteelH:
With all the custom ROMs out there I didn't feel my ROM had any place and didn't post it. Well several people pm'd me wanting a stock ROM with nothing removed and some enhancements added (many users like myself are just looking to root and get things like tether going, or want a clean stock ROM to customize themselves), which is essentially what I do, so I gave in and posted mine.

Hopefully some find it useful.

In the meantime, I am currently working on getting some of my older 2.2 MODs working with 2.3. That damn status bar has proven to be quite pesky!
[EVO 4G Android Development] doitda:
Thanks Steel!
[EVO 4G Android Development] SteelH:
You're welcome, glad you like it.

I find many people like to have a stock based ROM with working tether features, after all, many people root solely for that functionality.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mdiaz33685:
thanks SteelH, downloading now...
[EVO 4G Android Development] dpilcher:
Good stuff for the out of box total control.....your's always fits the bill...GREAT JOB
[EVO 4G Android Development] d0cx:
Oh yes, finally I can know whenever I'm in 1X (and not be fooled by the 3G status icon). Colors are great overall. I'm gonna try to mod the battery icon using the UOT kitchen. Will report results later.
[EVO 4G Android Development] corynat:
Just wanted to say thanks. This rom is exactly what I was looking for.
[EVO 4G Android Development] wilderckw:
Wont download unsuccessful as soon. As I click on it.??? E
[EVO 4G Android Development] SteelH:
It's the stock HtcMusic.apk, no changes were made to it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] reagan247:
Odd... I did a full factory reset twice and then reinstalled v1.08 and still had the problem, so I factory reset twice and then reinstalled v1.06 and the problem was fixed... album art of the song playing showed up on the lockscreen. Any thoughts? Are all of you seeing the correct/any album art from the lockscreen while a song is playing on v1.07/v1.08?
[EVO 4G Android Development] shuggashuggs:
shows generic green notes at lockscreen...
[EVO 4G Android Development] SteelH:
Wow that is bizarre.... I'll poke around and see if I can figure it out. The music app was never touched but who knows.. I'll have to install the music app as I don't use it, I prefer lithium
[EVO 4G Android Development] rileyd5:
Great Rom Steel. Plenty of memory and very stable. Thanks.
[EVO 4G Android Development] CrackedTech:
So am I correct in assuming this ROM doesn't include Darktremor's A2SD because it doesn't have a custom kernel?

If that's right do you have any plans to add it in?
[EVO 4G Android Development] tommytomatoe:
Those two are independent of each other...but it is true that this rom has neither.
[EVO 4G Android Development] CrackedTech:
Ahh, my apologies I thought that I read somewhere else on the forum that this was the reason that most GB ROMs weren't including A2SD. Thanks for the clarification.
[EVO 4G Android Development] SteelH:
There are no custom GB kernels out. HTC hasn't released the source code yet.
[EVO 4G Android Development] VTEC4ME:
Actually.....looks like it finally got released today!

http://developer.htc.com/
[EVO 4G Android Development] SteelH:
Well I'm sure we can expect greatness from netarchy!
[EVO 4G Android Development] d0cx:
He's already delivering! But I'm not flashing just yet. Seems to be affecting WiFi on certain ROMs.
[EVO 4G Android Development] github:
Used this as a base for my own personal Sense ROM. I like having all the mods already included, and most of CIQ stripped already (I did find one file leftover).

Using the 0.2 Kernel from Lithid-cm and seems to be flawless.

Thanks for the slick base that already has everything I was looking for built in. Being lazy > * hehe
[EVO 4G Android Development] SteelH:
PM me which file I missed if you don't mind...

With the daemons disabled it really doesn't matter though as that kills any communications of CIQ..
[EVO 4G Android Development] github:
PM sent. And yea I saw that you already disabled (commented out) the lines that start the daemons in the ramdisk (boot.img).

Again, thanks for a great ROM that I could chip away at!
[EVO 4G Android Development] SteelH:
This ROM will no longer be maintained.... I am over on the EVO 3D now!
[EVO 4G Android Development] SteelH:
Yeah that's an interesting mod, because when you look at what you edit in smali, it's very obvious that htc was trying to hide 1X. Essentially they tell the 1X method to show 3G. Lol!

Let me know how your battery cooking goes.

Try a different mirror, I posted 4.
[EVO 4G Android Development] d0cx:
I don't really do battery life assessments because I always carry 2 extra spares. The only thing I do not like is the Answer/Call button modification because the End button is not modified... or was it overlooked?
[EVO 4G Android Development] SteelH:
What are you referring to? Maybe I can help.
[EVO 4G Android Development] d0cx:
Phone app. The green Call button is modified. When in a call, the End button is stock looking. When I receive a call while using the phone, you can see the Ignore and Answer buttons are different.
[EVO 4G Android Development] SteelH:
Check PM....
[EVO 4G Android Development] d0cx:
Any option is fine for me.
[EVO 4G Android Development] d0cx:
As far as I could test, the issue persists. I'll take some screenshots later.
[EVO 4G Android Development] d0cx:
here's the issue.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mrjeancw:
is netflix app working with this rom?

i heard that it wasnt on ginberbread.
[EVO 4G Android Development] solver404:
That is worth a quote fo sho...
[EVO 4G Android Development] asafegous:
How do I get the rom to recognize my sdcard?
[EVO 4G Android Development] touchjon:
This and fresh Rom of the new gb update for the evo keep giving me the ghost voicemail icon. I usually dont get it on sense is there a mod to fix this like cm7 has
[EVO 4G Android Development] SteelH:
Not until netflix updates their app.

That's very odd because this ROM is pretty much stock OTA, nothing was touched that affects voice mail. May be a wipe issue.

Not even sure how to answer that one.
[EVO 4G Android Development] touchjon:
Idk. Happened with freshes new Rom to. I'm coming from sprint lovers and I ran a 2.1 Rom for a little and didn't get it. I think its only happening with the new gb for evo
[EVO 4G Android Development] d0cx:
Did you tried to go into Settings -> Phone and Clear Voicemail Notification? Also, did you manually called the Voicemail number and made sure that you have no new messages?
[EVO 4G Android Development] MrReptar:
To those having issues with Netflix on gingerbread. I simply restored it from TB and it works perfectly for me. I didn't try it with this Rom yet, but currently running it on Deck's 2.3.4 with no problem.

Sent from Mars.
[EVO 4G Android Development] asafegous:
I dont blame you. Im not even sure how to explain it. I figured id ask you cause ive always gotten it strait forward from you in the past. Every time I flash sense (any rom) from cm7, I get sdcard not mounted error. I flash back to cm7 and my files are all there.
[EVO 4G Android Development] d0cx:
Is it correctly formatted (different file system)? Does it have multiple partitions? I've never experienced this problem and my microSD card only contains a single FAT32 partition.
[EVO 4G Android Development] bigslanki:
i thought i found me a daily, does anyone have EPST working?

mine doesn't load
[EVO 4G Android Development] corynat:
Just tried it on mine and it worked. Got into edit mode fine.
[EVO 4G Android Development] SteelH:
Works fine for me, see attached images. Can you be more specific? I need to replicate the issue in order to resolve it. Thanks.
[EVO 4G Android Development] joehunni:
I hope there is an Odex version in the works.
[EVO 4G Android Development] SteelH:
Sorry, but no. odex is a royal pain to theme, not to mention the amount of work to go from deodexed back to odex.
[EVO 4G Android Development] bigslanki:
ok i am going try again at reboot. i suspect titanium may be causing me issues.

i will update with my findings.

edit:still no luck it clears the dialer #'s and sits there until i hit back or home.

REflashing now after i finish sexting lol
[EVO 4G Android Development] bigslanki:
##DATA# is epst correct? i am seriously doing something wrong. my skills are deminishing! :(
[EVO 4G Android Development] SteelH:
##3282# yep. That's where I got those screenshots in an earlier post.
[EVO 4G Android Development] bigslanki:
yea im getting old, smh not my day
[EVO 4G Android Development] d0cx:
EPST also works with my phone. Will flash v1.01 when I get home later.
[EVO 4G Android Development] schmittx:
Anyone getting HTC Music to randomly close while playing music in landscape mode?

I'm having this problem on my own rom, just wanted to see if others are having the same? I'm trying to troubleshoot but this is strange as hell...
[EVO 4G Android Development] ToddlerTN:
Flashed to this ROM from previous deodexed stock ROM. Booted to Amon-RA 2.3, wiped Dalvik, wiped cache, flashed this ROM. Now I am in a reboot loop--it has rebooted about six or seven times, keeps giving me the EVO splash screen, then a black screen, then it reboots. Not sure at all what to do next, any ideas are welcome.
[EVO 4G Android Development] VTEC4ME:
Bad download perhaps.

SteelH: can you post the MD5 sum of the files to ensure the files aren't corrupted after download?
[EVO 4G Android Development] ToddlerTN:
It was indeed a bad download, all sorted now. Thanks.
[EVO 4G Android Development] markedanderson:
Does anyone know of any Rosie mods that work with this ROM?
[EVO 4G Android Development] d0cx:
I don't know of any. You can always check out the Themes & Apps subforum for that. You can also theme it with the UOT site. Battery mod works for me.

ROM Usage Feedback: So far I had zero problems with it. Running very smooth. Battery life is pretty normal like most stock-based ROMs (my usage vary a lot so I can't tell for sure). There are some GUI tweaks such as the colorful status icons (including the headset icon, and the Wi-Fi icon), the Notification Menu pulldown has been modified and it says EVO Notifications, the Green glow when scrolling past limits, and others mentioned in the OP.
[EVO 4G Android Development] samsunghater:
one more reason i will not use cm7 ever again...evertime i tried to give it one more shot ....ten more issues showed up i had that issue too a couple times been long enough to forget and i was probly going bipolar on my phone,i dont member but im no techy so wiping and flashing is all i do worked for me lol
[EVO 4G Android Development] JDM Civic EG8:
Steel awesome from finally flashed it and so far so good. Think I found my ota tweaked Rom haha!!

Sent from My ?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Edgie311:
Flashed v1.01 and epst not working for me either. After last # it just clears.
[EVO 4G Android Development] SteelH:
What EPST ## codes are you trying?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Edgie311:
##3282#

10 char
[EVO 4G Android Development] Edgie311:
Another wierd thing with v1.01, was after I installed google voice sms messages were coming as google voice messages and mms were comin thru default message app. I uninstalled google voice and stopped getting sms all together. I am reflashing the rom and see what happens.
[EVO 4G Android Development] SteelH:
That's exactly the code I used in post #41. I am unable to replicate your problem. This is the stock EPST.apk, I haven't touched it. My guess is this new OTA stock EPST.apk is crippled just like the one in 3.70 was. I'll try downgrading it in v1.02 to get ##3282# working.

Again, MMS.apk is untouched, stock. So if it's acting funky I don't know why.
[EVO 4G Android Development] d0cx:
you sir... must post v1.02 now! :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] Edgie311:
I figured out the google voice gremlin, something with the new google voice version "intergrates with Sprint" when you set it up so I had to logi to GV on the web and remove my# from it and go back thru the setup and skip that feature. In the meantime I went back to the rev.I2 no dsp for the meantime.
[EVO 4G Android Development] SteelH:
DSP Manager flashable in post #3.
[EVO 4G Android Development] aaanadie:
broken links

I tried to download SteeRom v1.02 but I got "File not found" at the 3 mirrors.
[EVO 4G Android Development] LaloHigh:
Steel are you going to update with the new netflix fix?
[EVO 4G Android Development] SteelH:
Absolutely
[EVO 4G Android Development] d0cx:
Waiting for it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] SteelH:
Wait no more.

And YES, Netflix works, hotspot hack works, wifi tether works, etc etc....
[EVO 4G Android Development] corynat:
Thanks Steel. Very nice job.
[EVO 4G Android Development] anthony92170:
question if i was to download this and went back to a different rom will my Ghost voice mail stay gone?
[EVO 4G Android Development] mjcole2003:
thanks. i'm downloading now. I'm curious... can I install a sbc kernel onto this rom?... or will that bork the netflix or wifi tether. Is your kernel modified? OC,UV, CFS or BFS, HAVS? Thanks again : )
[EVO 4G Android Development] d0cx:
This is a stock ROM. Nothing besides what's posted on the OP is modified. Having said that, I believe that there's no custom kernel for this version yet as there is no source released.
[EVO 4G Android Development] d0cx:
Downloading. Thanks. :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] VTEC4ME:
Anyway of implement Sprint Lovers colored icons and still maintaining the transparent drop down notifications onto this rom???
[EVO 4G Android Development] SteelH:
You're welcome. If you like it hit the thanks button on the first post.
[EVO 4G Android Development] SteelH:
You can theme it how you see fit. Just take the icons/pngs u want from sprint lovers and drop them in the corresponding APKs for this rom.
[EVO 4G Android Development] SteelH:
As docx said, the kernel is stock. You're welcome to try other kernels as u please. Netflix is not tied to a kernel, so switching kernels will not affect netflix. Netflix is tied to two libs.
[EVO 4G Android Development] htcEVO9:
can someone walk me thru on how to flash this rom? thanks in advance:D
[EVO 4G Android Development] SteelH:
Try it and let us know.
[EVO 4G Android Development] corynat:
I assume you are rooted?

If so, copy the rom to your SD card, boot into recovery (I use amon ra), wipe everything but the SD card and then flash the rom.

If you google "How to flash a rom sprint evo" several videos come up that will walk you through it as well.
[EVO 4G Android Development] corynat:
Curious if anyone has added the CRT animation to the leak GB or this one (a little early for this one). I think it is in the framework-res but not sure. Ninjamorph is about as deep as I get into changing the framework apk but I am willing to give it a shot with a little direction.
[EVO 4G Android Development] htcEVO9:
yea im rooted, running virus' kingdom rom right now, and was just wondering if the flashing process was the same... like all the partitioning, and mb swapping and ext2 to ext3 upgrading and what not lol. but how does the rom run?
[EVO 4G Android Development] corynat:
No, none of that stuff. Rom runs great. Very quick.
[EVO 4G Android Development] U Flippin Idiot:
Thanks Steel. Brilliant Rom!!! Netflix works flawlessly
[EVO 4G Android Development] guyver2077:
This rom has been solid for me.

great work
[EVO 4G Android Development] SteelH:
Thanks....

Glad you like it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] shuggashuggs:
working fantastic!

came from Stock Turbo 3.70... only wiped cache/dalvic (not data) and everything works fine, fast and solid... upgraded radio/wimax/prl to latest too

Thank you Steel!:)

(xHausx)

Latest Firmware

Must be flashed through hBoot/Fastboot! Not Recovery.

PC36IMG - Radio_2.15.00.05.02 WiMAX_R4623-EVO27243 PRI_2.15_003
[EVO 4G Android Development] alammori:
Thanks Steel, as always great job.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Minjin:
Just flashed and I have two problems, one big and one small. The big one is that I am missing the status bar up top. The second is that I am missing my profile changer widget. I haven't updated roms in quite some time so I don't know if it disappeared on its own long ago or just now. But the former is the bigger issue.
[EVO 4G Android Development] d0cx:
I suggest that you download the ROM and flash it over again and be sure to wipe all partitions before doing so.
[EVO 4G Android Development] SteelH:
Smells like a bad wipe. Rinse and repeat.
[EVO 4G Android Development] guyver2077:
Is it normal to see the WiMax Notifier alert/notification on screen every time i receive a text
[EVO 4G Android Development] SteelH:
You can disable notifications for root permissions in the superuser app
[EVO 4G Android Development] mrjeancw:
do i need to run the latest radio/wimax/pri/nv? what about kernel? what is attached to this rom?

edit:

ok, so found out there is not new radio attached, i will update with all in one.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mrjeancw:
STEEL!!!!

anyway to add the 4-in-1 reboot options when i press the power button? if not is ok.
[EVO 4G Android Development] SteelH:
Please read the OP.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mrjeancw:
thanks man
[EVO 4G Android Development] d0cx:
You don't need to update your radios. No custom kernel as there is no source code released for this version, yet. This ROM only contains what's posted in the OP.
[EVO 4G Android Development] d0cx:
This is the only way to do it, unfortunately. I would love to have notifications set per-application but this will do for now.

Have you checked the possibility to implement Dalvik2Cache? I browsed in these last few days but all I saw were FroYo threads about it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] SteelH:
For wimax notifier , it is uninstallable if u don't want or use it. Unfortunately the dev of that app stopped months ago.

I'll lol into the dalvik2cache thing. I don't see any reason it can't be done.
[EVO 4G Android Development] SteelH:
v1.05 now up., finally got some of my favorite mods working on 2.3.3!
[EVO 4G Android Development] sirwhistle:
toggles

any idea when you can get toggles on drop down notification bar
[EVO 4G Android Development] SteelH:
Power control widgets was a major port from CM to Sense by JsChiSurf. He has since retired from modding. So that's not likely to ever happen. I use switchpro to accomplish the same toggles myself now. (although it takes upa 4x1 space on my screen :( )
[EVO 4G Android Development] marcusva79:
SteelH I was reading that caulk had a MMS compression fix for the new 2.1 sense roms. Does that get rid of the pixelation from MMS sent? If it does do you think it would work with synergy?
[EVO 4G Android Development] SteelH:
No idea about that, were did you read it?

He had a MMS compression fix for Android 2.2 HERE.

MMS compression fix simply does not compress an image unless it's size is above what your max mms size is set to. For example, my rom has sizes of 1M, 2M, and 5M. If you set it to 2M, it won't compress an image you attach to it unless it is larger than 2M. This is different from the default/stock compression that compresses your images to hell (typically to 80k or smaller) no matter the max size setting.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Death-M0nk:
Damn, just as I got 1.04 setup just how I want it D:

Looks like I gotta get some flashing done tonight.
[EVO 4G Android Development] marcusva79:
Must of confused ya Steel. Apologies.
[EVO 4G Android Development] SteelH:
I'm not confused. And you didn't respond to where you read your information about a compression fix for Sense 2.1
[EVO 4G Android Development] d0cx:
i do want it. i just disabled notifications in the superuser app.

i also miss the power notification widgets but i can survive without it. let us know if you figure out the dalvik 2 cache tweak. i'll flash v1.05 later tonight.
