I don't even want to ask this question because I know I'm going to get ticked because the answer may be super simple..hahaha...but having said that, the changelog states that I am able to "change brightness by sliding across the status bar". First of all, I'm not sliding across the status bar...LMBO...I paid good Money for this phone ... :)....Seriously though, I've swiped across the status bar, the pulldown menu, every section of the screen and even across the home row keys and I cannot change figure it out. Yes, I know how to actually change the brightness via the display menu but I want to be able to do it in the manner stated in the changelog. You all know me. I'm always tinkering with stuff...I can't help it...;)

UPDATE: Thanks to shochu808, I was able to get the feature to work. Stupid me, I forgot to disable auto brightness. This has not been a good week for me...<laughing>

My GPS icon is not visible unless it's actually in use and I leave mine on 24/7. After reading your message, I deactivated my GPS and the icon is still not present so I don't know what to tell you, my friend...;)

[EVO 4G Android Development] lithid-cm:
Sometimes if its lingering, open the maps app again then press the back button. That will usually make it go away. Tho the issue just could be the driver. Go to post # 2 and flash the new driver for GPS and see if that changes anything.
[EVO 4G Android Development] muppetman462:
I installed the rom on a clean sd card. I wiped everything before I did the install. It's odd, but this happens on Cm or aosp rom, even miui.
[EVO 4G Android Development] boomer8403:
Eh I didn't want to have to flash anything. The GPS works its just the icon hanging out when told not to lol. I don't want to risk breaking the GPS right now. Maybe ill do it later when time permits. Thanks anyway though man.
[EVO 4G Android Development] lithid-cm:
O ok, sorry it couldn't work our for ya. I hope you have a great weekend!
[EVO 4G Android Development] nickdollahz:
This works btw for anyone who wants to get rid of that Voicemail notifications. Although it wouldnt let me flash but i was able to push the Phone.apk using a file manager.
[EVO 4G Android Development] dougjamal:
It has been my experience that leaving the GPS on doesn't drain my battery when not in use and technically speaking, if by chance it does, it's not noticeable to me.

posting & replying from my EVO 4G
[EVO 4G Android Development] sag7392:
I agree with this as well...I never have turned my GPS off and haven't noticed any drops in battery life.
[EVO 4G Android Development] boomer8403:
Ok thanks for your input I will have to try this. By the way what kernel are you using and are you on deodex?
[EVO 4G Android Development] dougjamal:
You're very welcome. As for your questions, I'm using the default kernel as well as the deodexed version of the rom. I used the Tiamat kernel with SM 1.2.1 and will probably test it out with this rom, but I'm in no hurry because my device is performing quite well as-is.

[EVO 4G Android Development] interloper:
HA! I'm not the only one! I haven't read after this issue in the thread but I was messing with my phone in the dark because I'm a thrill seeker that way and what I discovered is that it's linked to the auto-dim setting. If it's on auto the lights don't come on or maybe they are super dim, but if it's not on auto, the lights come on. I really hope this helps.
[EVO 4G Android Development] dougjamal:
No, you are not, my friend...haha...my home row keys lit up while the display setting was set to auto. I was charging my EVO while posting & replying & waiting to fall alseep. I was in my room, lying in bed with no lights on and was like, why in the heck isn't my home row keys illuminating? I posted the question in which Lithid-cm responded very quickly. After I unplugged the phone from the charger, the home row keys lit up so I prematurely associated it to not working while plugged in, but Lithid quickly blew that assumption out of the water...(laughing). I re-plugged my phone to the charger and, sure enough, the home row keys lit up. Having said that, I have no earthly idea what happened. All I know is that they now work.

Hey guys, just wanted to post a theme I whipped up using UOT.. This is my first ever and is a WIP.. I just got the go-ahead to port an awesome theme to SalvageMod and will be working on that tonight and tomorrow.. but for now if anyone was interested in a blue-ish theme with some other bright colors here's one that I like..

Download: http://db.tt/GkdHTmL

FOR DE-ODEX ONLY!!

Install Instructions:

1) Boot into recovery

2) Wipe cache and dalvik cache

3) **OPTIONAL** Make Nandroid Backup

4) Flash theme

5) Reboot phone twice!!

In the next release of this, a lot more will be themed including Dialer, MMS, Menu Colors, Contacts, and much much more

Hope you like it, again this is my first attempt at making a theme and is a WIP, be on the look-out for the update if interested
[EVO 4G Android Development] sag7392:
Looks great! Keep up the good work...can't wait to see the final piece!

[EVO 4G Android Development] interloper:
I have a strange situation to report. After using this ROM for a few days and being very glad I am having a battery issue. I charged my phone and unplugged it before I went to sleep. When I got up it was less than 10% and battery usage showed 50% phone idle/50% cell standby. Wifi and GPS were off. Until last night I was getting around 9-12 hrs with lots of fiddling and wifi on. Could it be that the cellular radio uses more juice than the wifi radio? Could a recently installed app be wheezin' the juice? I might flash back to stock kernel for some Pepsi challenge.
[EVO 4G Android Development] fergie716:
Thanks guys! I just flashed the new version, so far so good, just keep having one issue with one notification icon! But hopefully I will be able to fil in the rest of these colors..
[EVO 4G Android Development] jnicho02:
Hey guys great ROM btw. I've been a lurker here on xda for 3 years now. I've been using SM 1.2.1 since release and have had no problems whatsoever, however since switching to SM 1.3 I have the dreaded ghost voicemail notification. I am using Google voice and tried the phone.apk provided using es file explorer and it keeps saying install unsuccessful. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
[EVO 4G Android Development] github:
Thanks for the compile guide. I love being able to build my own tailored to my wants/needs. I find it fun to tinker around to help understand the build process. Also, thanks for adding in support for /etc/init.d scripts the other day.

Do you have any tips on how to odex the gapps? Can't use the ones you provide on my custom odex build. I have to use your deodex.

Tip to tinkerers: I find it handy to keep an official build handy incase I bork something. :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] lithid-cm:
Install the gapps, to a deodex rom, then simply odex the rom and pull out the gapps parts.

And your welcome for the compile guide. I hope it works out. We don't mind people using unreleased builds as long as they understand the issues that could arise!
[EVO 4G Android Development] github:
Oh yea, I won't bug anyone about my builds unless I can reproduce an issue on a stable build from your website.

Thanks for the tips. I've been building the ROM as ODEX but I'll switch back and then ODEX after it's built.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Mindspin_311:
Nice! Cant wait to update
[EVO 4G Android Development] alaman68:
You guys having any luck with other kernels? Tiamat SBC 3.3.8 isn't working that great for me.

Thanks
[EVO 4G Android Development] ropodope:
3.3.7 tiamat and the sz 2.2.1 are the two best kernels out there. The tiamat 3.3.7 may very well be the best kernel you can get for the evo.

ropodope

Sent from my Vaelpak GB AOSP Preview Edition v0.2.2 for evOG. Gapps? What are gapps?
[EVO 4G Android Development] alaman68:
thanks as always Ropodope. I actually upgraded my radios and PRI/NV recently against my better judgement and have had nothing but problems since. Guess I'll go back to 1.77 and the 3.3.7 sbc. Unless anyone knows differently about the radio combo and this ROM.
[EVO 4G Android Development] sag7392:
I flashed the latest update combo and I don't have any problems, when paired with this ROM...matter of fact I did it when I was on 1.2.1...but YMMV.

@Rope

Hey I thought you were on SZ 2.2.1? Now you've got my fingers itching to flash 3.3.7 w/SBC for the hell of it, lol. I have heard a lot of folks say the same thing you said about it as well.
[EVO 4G Android Development] alaman68:
Can someone post a zip for 3.3.7? The site is down

In other news, will spare parts battery work in the future? Oh, and thanks for cleaning up android systems battery hog that was in 1.2
[EVO 4G Android Development] sag7392:
I have it on my computer at home (at work right now)...if you can wait or someone beats me to it, I can post a DB link to it. I should be home by 4p CST.

[EVO 4G Android Development] eniamg02:
I'm going to give this 3.3.7 a run as well, anyone try the latest g0dmode kernel with 1.3?
[EVO 4G Android Development] ropodope:
yeah I'm a savaged zen kernel junky but this tiamat 3.3.7.is seriously off the hook. The other tiamats, not so much. I love this version. Its crazy good and fast. Very nice. The entire 4x in my opinion sucks it big time. They are sloooooooooowwwww.

Alright, I'm going to give 3.3.7 a whirl...which governor do you use and what's your min/max clock speed?
[EVO 4G Android Development] ropodope:
128 min, 576 max. No drag, no lag. Smartass governor, no screen off profile needed. I also undervolt by 50 which is equal to 75 on the sz kernel.

[EVO 4G Android Development] sag7392:
Okay, I just have to ask...seriously no wakeup lag, no drag at 576...FOR REAL?! I ask, because I was on 768 for awhile, but I did notice things like changing keyboards was a little slower. I know I can't go as low as 128min (245 is my limit), but I'm going to give 576 a spin and report back. And I am undervolting by 50 on SZ...so I'll give that a try as well.
[EVO 4G Android Development] eniamg02:
Flashed 3.3.7 and was getting some bad lag On YouTube while on wifi,anyone get this as well?
[EVO 4G Android Development] fitz420:
I actually get some annoying lag with 3.3.7 as well, though it is great on battery.
[EVO 4G Android Development] eniamg02:
That's too bad.flashed godmode v9. Lets see how everything goes,no lag on YouTube app
[EVO 4G Android Development] ropodope:
Yes, really, truly, honestly.

[EVO 4G Android Development] ropodope:
change your governor to smartass, remove any screen off profiles you have because you no longer need them, if you undervolt raise it by 25 (if 100uv, change to 75uv) and give it 24 hrs st least to seed itself properly. just do what I've suggested and the lag will be gone.

What screen of profiles? Last I checked, SM v1.3 doesn't have a screen off profile other than animations. What are you ViperMod numbers? Can you throw-up a screenie? Just bored and want to tinker.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ropodope:
shootme app problems for a week now but anyway I use 75uv.

Okay...all I did was drop the stock voltage by -50 min/max on all freq's...now the waiting period.
[EVO 4G Android Development] alaman68:
Screen off profile? Are you using setcpu?

Too much lag at 537 on adwex with the 4d app drawer. Works alright around 900.
[EVO 4G Android Development] boomer8403:
Great job on the theme! I only have one request which is for 1% battery increment in the notification bar. This would be great. Thanks for your hard work and I look forward to the final release.
[EVO 4G Android Development] alaman68:
boomer that is awesome!!!

Anyone else getting a force close when using the front camera for recording video?

Edit: couldn't see quotes on my silly idevice. Thought you themed that boomer, glad you tried it.:)
[EVO 4G Android Development] boomer8403:
Well after reading this I had to try it and fortunately it works, unfortunately the video for the other person that sees me is upside down. Hmmmm wonder why..
[EVO 4G Android Development] fergie716:
Hey glad you liked the theme dude.. I'm gunna test out that camera issue in a few to see if it's the theme..

On another note, I'm wrapping up a port to SalvageMod of JBabey's COLORMOD theme.. here's a lil glimpse

http://db.tt/D4PrsP3

Also, if you want the battery icon changed from the first theme I can whip one out later tonight
[EVO 4G Android Development] eniamg02:
Just a heads up looks like tiamat 4.0.6 is out
[EVO 4G Android Development] boomer8403:
Actually I think its the ROM because they have it listed as wont fix on the issue tracker. Oh well anyway yea man the theme is awesome and I like the battery mod you have posted in the pic. I really like the font and blue accents as well. Good job bro
[EVO 4G Android Development] fergie716:
Thanks man! All credit has to go to JBabey tho.. just trying to make it accessible for SalvageMod!
[EVO 4G Android Development] boomer8403:
Awesome looking forward to it man.

I just noticed there is already a changelog started for salvagemod 1.4 um...yeah...SWEET!
[EVO 4G Android Development] alaman68:
sweet:D

10....
[EVO 4G Android Development] sag7392:
Yeah, I just saw it too...I hope it's a flash over 1.3 and not a full wipe...looking at the changelog thus far, I would think it could be. Anyone know if that will be this case with this ROM from past updates? Back when I used Caulk's Sense ROM's, he used to provide updates that you could just flash over the ROM. I guess I'm just lazy sometimes, lol.
[EVO 4G Android Development] sag7392:
@rope

Looks like Tiamat just released version 4.0.6...the initial reports indicate it may be solid. I'm seriously debating if I should flash it or stick with 3.3.7 for a little while. Damn you dev's (shaking my fist at the screen), lol.
[EVO 4G Android Development] paranoid android85:
thanks. gonna try this out
[EVO 4G Android Development] boomer8403:
Anybody having camera FCs? Everytime I try to take a pic it happens and I have to reboot. I'm using tiamat 3.3.7
[EVO 4G Android Development] lithid-cm:
I have not seen a fc on the camera at all. I take video on ffc and back just fine.

Get a logcat, or it didn't happen
[EVO 4G Android Development] boomer8403:
Ok if you would be so kind as to tell me how to get a logcat I will prove it to you sir :p
[EVO 4G Android Development] github:
http://developer.android.com/guide/developing/tools/logcat.html

Logcat
[EVO 4G Android Development] boomer8403:
I used logcat app from the market and sent it via email. Once again my camera is FCing and the ffc also is FCing.
[EVO 4G Android Development] interloper:
I flashed 1.3 deodex with the corresponding gapps to check out the theme on this thread. Still ALL IS WELL! I used Amon_Ra wiped it all, flashed, played around, nandroid back, blah blah blah and still only one fc. This rom is solid. I'm not sure what's going on with the other users here but I put this rom through the paces and it works. I think the only thing I haven't done is the vipermod kernel and patch since the kernels provided do well. I am using a custom Netflix, video gtalk, Bluetooth audio, etc and it all just works. Thanks lithid-cm and crew! I'll be setting up a dual boot Ubuntu comp later today for compiling and if you need anything from me I will do what I can. I'm gonna try the UOT kitchen soon as well. Maybe something good will come out of that for us here.
[EVO 4G Android Development] github:
Did vipermod and tiamat 4.0.6 today and all seems well. Voltages stick and such. I'm using a custom nightly that I complied myself, and it supports /system/etc/init.d scripts so no special vipermod needed (the one on the second post).
[EVO 4G Android Development] avacomputers:
For those with camera fc. Boot into recovery, clear cache and dalvik
[EVO 4G Android Development] boomer8403:
I have done this multiple times. It seems that its happening when I plug into the charger then take it off. Wonder if its because of SBC on tiamat 3.3.7?
[EVO 4G Android Development] lithid-cm:
I looked at the logcat and i don't see the FC your speaking of, if you could please run the logcat app, then get the camera to FC then send it to me, I would appreciate it alot!

[EVO 4G Android Development] interloper:
I am a little slow so I'm just going to guess this documents the changes and especially the addition of a system setting to disable the VM notification... I really need to learn more about this. I think its about time to start using irc where I imagine the serious stuff happens.
[EVO 4G Android Development] alaman68:
I care, just need to figure out how to use it
[EVO 4G Android Development] sag7392:
I took the plunge as well and I had only one random reboot all day and no FC's. I think I went a little to low on my voltage, hence the random reboot...so I raised all voltages by 25 (this was coming from being lowered by 50) and all seems well. I can say that this kernel is solid and fast! I'm underclocked at 245/576...yet it feels like I'm at the stock speeds. Just like Rope said about 3.3.7, no lag of delay anywhere on this kernel. So far my battery life has been superb...it handles what I throw at it very well. Still needs further testing, but right now, I give this kernel a thumbs up when paired with this ROM...remember YMMV.

I want to see how it charges overnight, in reference to the mA's using SBC. I'll report back.

Hope this helps!
[EVO 4G Android Development] github:
There is a howto guide on how to compile SalvageMod yourself from source. I think it's linked in the second post. That would get you this fix asap instead of waiting for an update from the developers. I don't know if they do public nightly builds or not. I haven't seen any.
[EVO 4G Android Development] interloper:
OK so I'm about ready to give this a shot. I have Ubuntu running. I'm installing some packages for other things. I'm going to the cm repo for the tut on installing android sdk for Linux then I'll be back. Wish me luck. Btw where can I find the irc channel I need to be a pest?
[EVO 4G Android Development] alaman68:
Is that how you get started? Sdk.?
[EVO 4G Android Development] interloper:
SDK=Software Development Kit, so yes. Cyanogen, and maybe others, have a wiki on getting the Android SDK setup and a little about how it works. To compile your own ROM from the source SalvageMOD released on this thread a Linux machine is needed. Technically, all of the patches and mods that make your phone great can be compiled into a single .zip. Themes, fonts, fixes and maybe even apps if I'm not mistaken. Personally, I want to give back to the community. I started flashing my PPC6700 back when there were only three threads on XDA and Windows Mobile 5 users were lusting after updates to it. I think it's time to do something to earn my free membership to the forum ;) So Lithid-CM, how about that irc?
[EVO 4G Android Development] github:
When i'm home, I sit alone with echoside and one or two others in #salvage-mod on irc.freenode.net. I've been there a few days off and on and haven't see any chatter yet lol.

I pretty much follow the CM7 compile guide to the T, just swapping a few specific things out with the salvage-mod stuff, like repo init to their github instead of CM7's.

trial and error is the best learning tool. :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] pwhitersxs:
The hotspot does not work with salvagemod 1.3 and tiamat 4.0.6 for me nor 4.0.5

Hotspot does work with 3.3.7

[EVO 4G Android Development] pwhitersxs:
Well damn! Glad it works for you. Definitely a strange problem. No kernels except 2.6.37.6 work on my phone. The latest SZ and godmode kernels create an error on hotspots as well. Maybe my setup needs to start from scratch if I'm the only one with this problem.
[EVO 4G Android Development] genderblurr:
I pushed the apk and called myself from the house phone (yes, we still have one at home). When I called myself the answer and ignore sliders were whacked. They work but I have to slide them a certain way.
[EVO 4G Android Development] fergie716:
Hey guys so this is a "raw" port of JBaby's ColorMod theme for CM7... I have been somewhat busy going through SalvageMod APK's and trying to theme them to the best of my ability.. I have tomorrow night off and have set aside a couple hours to really work on this, I hope to finish it by the weekend, but for now this is pretty solid, with the exception of a few bugs..

Known Bugs!

-When phone is charging, battery icon switches to 4G symbol

-Some cosmetic differences, please letme know what you find!

I will probably start a thread in Theme/Apps for this and 3 other themes I have made for SalvageMod 1.3

**Thanks to JBabey for allowing me to work on this and port it to SalvageMod.. Thanks for all the help/advice!

**Thanks to barnacles10, lithid-cm and the whole SalvageMod team for the cleanest, most fastest AOSP experience..

If you want screenies, please look at JBabey's thread.. Also give him a "thanks" for an amazing theme while there!

Link to JBabey's original theme: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=997079

This is for De-odex only!

Will try to work on Odex, probably by next week?

Link for download: http://db.tt/w6J8RYS

Plans for next update:

-Hopefully fix the charging issue, thats really my num 1 priority

-Colorize SalvageMod parts and any other menu options

-Re-theme phone.apk, mms.apk, and contacts.apk to add more color

-Requests from ppl who use theme (?)

Install instructions:

1) Re-boot into recovery (I use Amon-Ra 2.3 hausmod_revA)

2) Clear cache/dalvik

3) *OPTIONAL* make nandroid backup

4) Flash theme

5) Reboot phone twice!

6) Enjoy!!

Anyway thanks again for support and hope you guys enjoy! Like I said, I will def try to fix all of the bugs by this weekend..
[EVO 4G Android Development] interloper:
Once you start the thread we can discuss this further but I would like to help you if possible. I flashed the last theme and like it. I didn't keep it, but it got me hot about theming. Let me know if you want help, or just want to have a tester.
