Is this a launcher or widget?
[EVO 4G Android Development] jdumont80:
This issue was fixed with a new install. GREAT ROM so far!!!
[EVO 4G Android Development] cbucz24:
Ok please dont hate...lol

I gotta ask, how is this playing with a dirty flash?

My wife has been running v8 for a while an its been good. She's close to upgrading but not yet...

She is definitely not a flasher. Until I talked her into flashing this, she wouldn't let me touch her phone and it was stock until like 5 months ago...

So, I need to be able to flash her phone with as little involvement as possible. She hated setting it up...

-Galaxy Note II Lab Rats Edition

I recently started running v8 and I'm very happy with the performance. I was running Mik roms for a long time because they are so rock solid and I hadn't found a good replacement until now. I flashed v9 and played with it a little, seems to run really great but I work outside alot and the black and red is not really good for viewing in sunlight. Would love to see it themed in other colors but either way it's a great rom, thanks for the work. Oh yeah I tried to download the 4x5 rosie for v8 but got a "file not found"
[EVO 4G Android Development] biga1:
So I finally got around to flashing this long awaited Rom. I can't get past the white Evo screen. I waited 30 minutes to boot and nothing. I have checked md5 and redownloaded several times and no luck. Strange cause I have flashed all of DK roms including the beta successfully. I can flash any Rom from the forum fine but I get stuck on V9. Running smelkus and doing all the wipes. Scratching my head on this one.
[EVO 4G Android Development] CyanJustice:
Turns out my EVO got stolen guys, so I'll be giving my farewell for now to the supersonic forums. Gonna miss this great community and the developers who keep it alive. Just got a Samsung GSII so I guess I'll be hanging out there for now.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ss12108:
Just an FYI for everyone...Crossbreeder, which had worked great for me on AOSP roms, did not seem to play nice with v9. Not sure if anyone else had different results but I'm running much better after flashing the crossbreeder removal zip.
[EVO 4G Android Development] IDRFT95S14:
Try flashing smelkus again at the bootloader,had this happen to an older version of smelkus when it first was released,weird but that did it
[EVO 4G Android Development] Digitalkarma:
you can try to do a dirty flash, but i recommend to fully wipe. i shifted a few things around in this version. but you can make a mental note on how she set her phone up and use all those backup apps like Titanium or use the backup option in MMS to save all your texts.

glad you diggin' the rom! yes i will be supporting v9 with some mods, including updating the 4x5 rosie mod and other things. stay tuned. :)

strange. did you download from mobile? did the md5's matched up? v9 shouldn't be any different from the other ones. hope you get it to finally work soon!

aww man! sorry to hear about that.. whoever stole your phone i hope they gets bad karma! and thank you for supporting my work. don't be a stranger, continue to stop by the evo forums every now and then. :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] CyanJustice:
I will for sure invest in another EVO given the chance, I can't ignore the two years I've spent with one. Thanks Karma.
[EVO 4G Android Development] monty_python:
How much you looking to spend.. I got a evo and I already flashes this on it when my gs3 was in the shop....

Just installed crossbreeder. Running like a champ over here.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ss12108:
Lol the great thing about rooted android devices...there's no 2 devices exactly alike! It was odd, Sense kept rebooting, things started slowing down, and I even had a random reboot. Started out fine but went south. I flashed the removal zip and all is well again.

Btw, this is the longest I've run a sense rom since I discovered my first AOSP rom, OMFGB. Really well done DK!
[EVO 4G Android Development] biga1:
thanks, reflashed smelkus but no luck. same result - stuck on white screen again. went back in and reflashed v9 beta and worked fine. what am I missing here? tried redownloading rom with different browsers and no go. I guess by EVO does not want to be enlightened... :crying:
[EVO 4G Android Development] katodragon:
When I try to charge I get this error on my battery.

I reboot and then it charges fine. I reflashed and still get this problem..
[EVO 4G Android Development] IDRFT95S14:
Are you doing the download off the phone? ,if so I would download from the computer to the phone ,also are you partitioned idk if matters on this Rom but some require it ,maybe someone can chime in
[EVO 4G Android Development] biga1:
Download to my pc. I verified md5 and re downloaded several times. I am going to try downloading on my wife's laptop later on. I am partitioned to ext 4. Even tried another sd card. Same deal. White screen. What's weird it is only this Rom V9.
[EVO 4G Android Development] pmacevad:
I remember on a Rom one time, not sure if it was the dk series, but you had to be on a newer hboot for the Rom to flash properly. Maybe someone here has a better memory then me lol:D

Sent from my ever-changing OG Evo...
[EVO 4G Android Development] biga1:
Thanks guys for all the help. I will look at the hboot suggestion. Maybe time for a logcat. I think I can rule out my recovery and download and wipe process. This is really strange and my ocd is going to figure this out :rolleyes:
[EVO 4G Android Development] Robobob1221:
Have you moved the recovery log to SD Card directly after flashing the ROM? It might tell you if something is wrong? Or post it here for others to check out.

Also is your usb connected to your phone when flashing and rebooting? Remember some issues like this with the usb connected but not on Sense, but you never know...
[EVO 4G Android Development] biga1:
ok recovery log attached. never created a recovery log before so let me know if it is ok.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Robobob1221:
I had a look at the recovery log and the problem seems to be that the data directory is not being wiped or flashed.

Seems to be a number of bad blocks on the data partition, and they aren't being erased, and then the data directory seems not to be created.

I don't know what other people will suggest, but IMO you could either wipe(reformat!:eek:) you sd card and repartion or try a new/different one. Beyond that I'm not sure.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Digitalkarma:
Are you running any partition mod tricks? Like firerat method or using sdcard as internal memory?

I could also suggest trying the original Smelkus recovery for the meantime and see if that works. I see you are using the D67 version. If it isn't that then the partition on the sdcard might need to be reformatted. Hope u get the Rom to work!

I've gotten some feedback from users who have a hard time seeing red, so I hope blue will be a better alternative, but I had already planned a blue versuion for sometime. Saving best for later!

I believe these are the only two colors choices I will be using, maybe a third option. But if anyone was hoping for a green or Orange ver..sorry you're on your own buddy :D

Now this is right up my alley...can't wait for this to be ready!
[EVO 4G Android Development] slantyshanty:
Does anyone else notice fluctuating volume when turning the volume up/down while, let's say... watching a YouTube vid. About every 3-4 levels, the volume actually sounds like it is going the opposite direction. Like if I am turning the volume up it goes up, up, up, down, up, up, up... The on screen volume icon stays going the right direction. It is not a very big thing at all, in fact I probably wouldn't have even noticed it had I not been using my headphones. Could very well just be my phone, it has seem better days for sure.

[EVO 4G Android Development] Digitalkarma:
whats up guys. i got some clocks i'm gonna put up for flashing soon. the 1st ones i'm putting up are the jellybean font style clocks that i was originally going to use as the default for V9 but fell in love with the butterfly style clocks midway through development haha...but the layout has slightly changed from the V9 clock beta version so it should look similar to the Butterfly layout. i got standard 4x2 and 3x2 versions.

updated: the clocks are up. clear both caches and flash in recovery. perhaps i will work on a few more clocks and update the ones from v8 when i have time. :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] g2435:
Here's what the jellybean 3x2 clock looks like
[EVO 4G Android Development] jwitt418:
For anyone consider running crossbreeder on this rom. I'm just giving a heads up to NOT do it.

I stupidly thought this was going to give me some kind of super powers but my battery is so much worse since.

The rom is quite tweaked enough with scripts and runs much better in its out of the box state.

Just a fair warning, I know some of you have already done so. But I've reinstalled the rom and am getting the great battery I had in the first place.

Thanks again DK and looking forward to the blue version
[EVO 4G Android Development] pmacevad:
I've been running crossbreeder since I installed the rom and haven't really noticed any adverse affects on my phone. I am, however, going to try the removal zip and run the rom for a few days without it to see if I notice any differences. You are the second person to say crossbreeder had ill effects on their phone. Curious to see if there is a distance on my phone... :)

Sent from my ever-changing OG Evo...
[EVO 4G Android Development] katodragon:
I agree battery life is much better without crossbreader..
[EVO 4G Android Development] jwitt418:
I tried the removal script also, even tho it "removed" the mod, it did not reset the init.d script back to what it originally was. Therefor same battery. I had to reinstall the entire rom. But now I get about a day and a half on full charge. Where as I was getting about 7 or 8 hours while running crossbreeder
[EVO 4G Android Development] pmacevad:
Thanks for the heads up. I never really had bad battery life on this rom so I'm going to wait and see(before reinstalling the rom). I easily get through a 12 hour work day on battery and am consistently left with >75%.

[EVO 4G Android Development] Hearnbiz:
I went to bed with a 59% battery remaining after a 17+ hour day yesterday running crossbreeder. I should point out I have a new battery though, about 3 weeks old.

Sent from my PC36100
[EVO 4G Android Development] Digitalkarma:
that sounds about right. battery is running good. :good:

users in general that complain about unusual battery drain is most likely a sign that the battery is degrading and not the rom being the main culprit itself as most would believe although the kernel and tweaks being used do have influence in regulating battery life but to me are secondary to the issue. a bad battery is a bad battery no matter how many battery saving tweaks or kernel you use to try to save/get the most out of it.

personally, i don't over tweak my rom with all those scripts or underclock. if i do chose to underclock it's only just a tad and battery is still good enough to last me a day or a day & 1/2. i'm a firm believer in less is more and my rom reflects that...which is why i decided not to include crossbreeder cause it may not work for everyone :angel:

while were on the subject of batteries...mine is just about half-dead. 6 hrs of charging and i only got 40% and it drains faster than mud. there's no way i can use my phone anymore as a daily without taking it off the wall. i decided i'm not going to buy another battery for my evo. this is the third one that i'm on and it has lasted me about a good 6 months... so i went to the Sprint store today and put in my pre-order for the HTC One. yep, i believe its about time for me to move on. yes i will still be supporting my rom with mods/themes, but any other rom or porting projects i had in mind though will probably not see the light of day. anyways, hope to see some of you on the HTC One. laters :)

Thanks for the rom! Rosie is relevant again. My only issue is that wifi struggles to stay connected. But battery life is amazing! Rom is fast- almost makes me feel I have a new phone.

I wonder if you'd be interested to do the same to a sense 2.1 rom?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Digitalkarma:
the window of opportunity is winding down for me here so no plans for a Sense 2.1 rom but i will still support my Sense 1.0 rom for a little bit and glad you like :)

I was thinking about getting the htc one when my contract is up in June but it has one of the same deal killers as the iphone... Can't change the battery, sealed case :( Awesome looking phone and specs on it though!

Think I'm leaning on the galaxy note 2 for my next phone. Wish I was a rap star with major bling because I'd buy one for DK just to have him develop a rom lol
[EVO 4G Android Development] Digitalkarma:
good eye, good eye. ;) i wasn't sure if i should raise them so i left them the way it is. thanks for the feedback!

i was almost close to getting the SGS4 because of no battery swap and SDcard but i never owned a phone without those features so let's see how i can deal with it for the next two years...should be a risky new experience for me haha and i'm going in with the mindset that this might be the last HTC handset i will buy, and disappointment is something that shouldn't surprise me if it does ends up being a disappointment. i sure hope that isn't the case though as i would like to see HTC do a turnaround hahah but as long as HTC does these three things: Support their phones with timely OTA updates/android versions and be more developmental friendly(release source codes), and listen to their users. then i'll continue to support HTC. i think they're somewhat on the right path, we shall see..
[EVO 4G Android Development] accessing:
I figured why not give it a shot. I wasn't upgrading because of those same issues too. But it turns out that the card is not an issue. I wouldn't be surprised if it was discovered that they are using sd cards as internal memory. Once you plug the phone in, you can access all the same folders, create new folders etc.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Digitalkarma:
Wow. This is an amazing looking phone. Everything on the screen looks so damn crystal clear, the audio on speakers are just unbelievable sounding, and here is my first pic I took on Facebook via the Blinkfeed.

Camera seems pretty good for now and build quality is awesome although I wouldn't say the aluminum body is completely gapless..but it's not really noticeable unless looking close up. So far so good, gonna play around with it some more :)

Still playing around with it's features, seeing how the battery life is etc.

So far 10 hrs on battery with a some texting, calling, an hour thirty of surfing the browser, messing around with the camera. 42% left, lasted me thru the whole evening. Sadly no LTE in my area yet..
[EVO 4G Android Development] pmacevad:
Yea, I almost rooted mine yesterday but I have decided to wait for true s-off. I want to have some time to get used to things on sense 5 too (what an upgrade from sense 1 lol). Sense has come a long way! Battery life was decent today for me. 13 hours of light/medium use and 60% left before I plugged it in. This thing really flies, especially on LTE! I am fortunate enough to be in an LTE area most of the time and I've seen speeds add high as 34mbps so far on one day of Speedtesting. :D Can't wait to get true root, think that's when I'll finally do it.

Didn't have a whole lot of time this weekend but I wanted to at least TRY and get started on my theme (from v.9b). I have been using paint.net for just about everything because it is easy to use but I got a wild hair and reinstalled CS3. I wanted to see what adding lens flares and lighting effects would look like. I may have gotten a little carried away but at least I know that it not only works, but you can actually see them on the phone (vs. the computer screen. most of these .png's are tiny!) One thing, and maybe this is some sort of trade secret I haven't looked into yet, but common_panel.9.png and _small REALLY don't like being messed with. As long as I use the ones that come with the ROM, then there is no problem at all, but if I edit them in any way, they blow up. Then again, I'm not decompiling/recompiling the .apk's the right way, only using .7zip. Quite possibly the problem right there? Either way, here is what I did so far. Just settings, profile, and sync are transparent, resources is what I added the lens flares and lighting effects to (after I made them transparent). What do you think so far?

What it looks like if I DON'T mess with those two .png's
[EVO 4G Android Development] Digitalkarma:
i like the lens flare effect. looks good :)

here's some themeing tips to help you and of course anyone else i don't mind sharing what i've learned.

yes, you will have to recompile the apk instead of replacing the images through 7zip or you'll get the warped out effect that you see in the top pics.

here's a technique i naturally adapted from trial and error when it comes to editing .9png images.

i use gimp but i guess paint.net is probably works the same. what i do is:

whatever you do, don't touch the black 1 pixel borders. there is an easy way to ensure that you don't do this

use your selection tool and create a border within the 1 pixel borders. so if the 9png is 50x50, you make a 48x48 border. then what i do next is cut that border and re-paste it. this ensures that you won't mess up the 1 pixel border while editing the image within. although i'm not sure/can't remember if just highlighting the area you want to edit with your selection tool works the same but i do the cut/paste thing just to be safe.

from here on out you can do a number of things. you can make the objects transparent, make hue/color changes, you can erase the edges of objects that are hugging close to the one pixel border. when you're just about done with your image, just hit "anchor layer" or with transparencies hit "merge visible layer" then save the modded file. i don't know if paint.net has the same options but that's what i do in GIMP

i didn't start doing this until V8 and it's great technique you should learn it if you plan on doing a full-out theme. it has saved me alot of time. i got more tips if u need on image manipulating or if u need pointers on certain pngs, i'm glad to help.
