[EVO 4G Android Development] Mazda:
This was awesome to read yotie!! I almost felt like I was watching you review the ROM like you see on YouTube or something...hahahaha...VERY NICE!! I look forward to more reviews like this :)

Dark Light V3 should be out here soon!! It brings everything that Team Kang put into their AOKP build 31 along with a few more goodies that I've put together and of course the speed and great battery life that you guys are used to.........stay tune for that fellas!!

Oh and ONLY if you want.....AGAIN, not forcing anyone to do anything BUT I will be posting a few extra goodies for this ROM on tincandroid later on today if anyone is interested, they're worth it IMO :)

Alright, I got to grab something to eat...that Ozzie Gullien apology press conference made me hungry..hahaha
[EVO 4G Android Development] bossjeeves:
V2 has been running pretty smooth for me today (flashed last night), not as quick as ICS on my Xoom meaning there is quite a bit of lag with opening applications and using the phone/texting/calendars/etc but I am really liking it, keep up the good work and I look forward to seeing more updates :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] yotie:
xoom has duel core processor,,probably why the ics seems snappier on the tablet..just saying....
[EVO 4G Android Development] Mazda:
LMAO yeah I was JUST about to say that! You can't compare a tablet like that to the EVO....is just not fair..hahahaha
[EVO 4G Android Development] bossjeeves:
Yeah dont get me wrong, i understand that, I just thought that ICS was supposed to be lighter weight and make use of hardware better. Thats all. I know it will never compare to what the xoom can do.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Mazda:
FYI for anyone that cares......the goodies I talked about are up and running over at tincandroid :)

ALSO an update on v3, here's a little bit of what's to come for this ROM! (still working on adding some more things..hahaha)

Just flashed this last night. Running super nice on my phone. Thank you mazda, I'm gonna go check out your site. I've been enjoying your work since that other site, (blazing, nuff said) thank you for your time and effort and hard work.
[EVO 4G Android Development] perpetual98:
Any word on v3? I'm having a ton of lag issues with v2 but I really like the rom so I'd rather see if some stuff got fixed with v3.

If I open messaging, or click the phone icon, it sometimes takes 30 seconds to a minute before it becomes usable. GPS is hit or miss for me too. If it wasn't for the sick look of this rom or the crazy battery life, I'd probably look for a new rom. I suppose I always have Classic to fall back to.
[EVO 4G Android Development] MarkEv0:
Try clearing your caches that might help.
[EVO 4G Android Development] defjef123:
I had really bad lag also. Worked great for a couple days though. Didn't flash any kernels or tweaks
[EVO 4G Android Development] dgatlin:
Mazda...I have been running the Sense 3.5 roms put out by Drop...I was getting a little bored with it...

I sure am glad I got bored..I started looking again and I found this rom...

Loving it...specially the themed apps...

One word...AWESOME!!!

Thanks for all you do...

[EVO 4G Android Development] mike02466:
Been running decks ICS but this looks bad ass. Love the dark theme. Patiently waiting for v3. I assume since based on AOKP, v3 will also have HWA? Can't imagine not. Thanks mazda
[EVO 4G Android Development] Mazda:
Ladies and Gentlemen, the wait is no longer........WELL, sort of..hahahaha

Dark LIGHT v3 is up over at Tincandroid.com

ONCE AGAIN, I'm not forcing anyone to do ANYTHING....WHAT you do is up to you! IF you do decide to head over to tincandroid and register in order to download v3, PLEASE read the rules and faq threads :)

ALSO, I will update this thread later on today withe Dark LIGHT v3 JUST in case...hahaha

Is there any way to merge or link contacts? Didn't see it anywhere
[EVO 4G Android Development] perpetual98:
I do all of my contact maintenance via the PC, so I hadn't given it much thought. It did take me quite a while to get everything into Google the way I liked it, but now that I did the legwork doing that, it's been a breeze. Every time I flash a rom (which is often) once I log in the first time, all of my contacts are there.

What I really need to do is get pictures for my contacts. Seeing as I'm not a Facebook user, my contacts list is sparsely populated with photos. Only a handful of people in my list use G+ which populates a picture then.
[EVO 4G Android Development] oodork123:
Urgh, I remember that you have to adb push the Facebook contacts to sync with Google and facbook pics to sync. I know I'm no help bit that's what ropeadope said to do before he got banned.

Mazda,

Still not sure who you think I am, but regardless, I apologize for giving you such a hard time before. I know you put a lot of work into these ROMs, and I am actually really enjoying this particular one. Going to download V3 now. Again, sorry for my behavior, and great work on this ROM.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Mazda:
OP is updated!!!

The OP has been updated with Dark LIGHT v3 and a few things that I suggest EVERYONE reads! :)

PLEASE READ THE ENTIRE OP​

Thanks and once again, I appreciate the support from everyone that has stuck around....IT really means a lot!! Thanks guys!! :D:D
[EVO 4G Android Development] Karma79:
Just flashed.... I get the htc splash screen, then I get a screen that looks like snow "static" on a tv and it just hangs on that screen then reboots. I tried to flash again and got the same result. I am wiping everything and even tried using gruesoms. Thanks in advance for any help.
[EVO 4G Android Development] shizume:
I flash it and its fine. I wipe everything once then flash calkulin wipe and flash. At first, I thought the rom froze, it freeze cuz the animation was done. Mine was hung up at dark light, but patiently I wait and voila, presto :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] Karma79:
Thanks for the tip. I downloaded the ROM again just to make sure I had a good file. I snagged calkulin as well to try that. I wiped everything except SD and then flashed calkulin. Everything seems to go fine and the install completes successfully, but I still get stuck in looping boot. Oh well, back to V2 for the night so I have an alarm clock to wake up to tomorrow! :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] txnolesfan93:
I was having the same problem with v2 when it dropped. I partitioned SD and now use vr super wipe. Did the trick. V3 running good. Just having problem trying to get into tablet mode. Steps are there to follow and I am but after reboot density keeps returning to 240...
[EVO 4G Android Development] Karma79:
Just noticed on the changelog A2SD was added back in. I should have read that before, just didn't expect there to be a change to flashing in the changelog. :eek: I will try partitioning my sd card in the morning and see if that fixes the issue. Thanks!

EDIT: I decided sleep could wait and tried partitioning the sd card and flashing again. BINGO! Up and running! Now I will lose even more sleep playing around with it! Another example of why you should read the ENTIRE OP I guess! HAHA!!
[EVO 4G Android Development] welshwarriorsf:
v3 is a no-go without the partioned SD card for me. v2 flashed ok...
[EVO 4G Android Development] oodork123:
A couple random reboots but its all good. Runs great and I like it thanks Mazda.
[EVO 4G Android Development] MarkEv0:
If you have read the op v3 will not work without partioned card.
[EVO 4G Android Development] goodbye hppalm:
hey mazda noticed some serious lag after testing it for the day and also force closes in system ui and other sections, any ideas, still an awesome rom just wondering whats going on
[EVO 4G Android Development] Mazda:
Do me a favor and rewipe and flash again, JUST to see if it wasn't a wiping issue :)

Thanks!

Read the first post. I'm confused v3 says HWA is working but known issues says no HWA?

Sent from my White Evo 4G
[EVO 4G Android Development] Mazda:
I apologize for that! I did a copy and paste of a few things and forgot to delete that off the known issues :)

I corrected that issue!
[EVO 4G Android Development] OneoftheRabble:
I kind of had the same thing... I did a couple of things and it cleared up.

I fixed permissions... twice. Cleared the caches and rebooted. Then shut the phone down completely and let the power drain. Pulled the battery for 30 seconds and then rebooted and all has been fine with the world.

Well... except for the silly GPS. I still can't get it to be normal.

This ** IS ** the quickest ROM I have flashed. And it just barely sips at the battery fountain.

See ya'

[EVO 4G Android Development] KevinGee:
downloaded v3 and im loving the boot animation.

Edit: So i flashed it and it booted up with no problem whatsoever, but when i go to the system settings it just freezes and reboots. I have tried flashing it twice and i do a proper wipe, vr superwipe, format all, and even gruesomes. But maybe its just my phone that doesnt like this rom. But i really would want this to work for me, Im gonna keep trying to make it work.
[EVO 4G Android Development] 88exp88:
What launcher is everybody using just curious?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Mazda:
Thanks dude!! I appreciate it!!

@88exp88....I use Apex Launcher but that's just me!! I think the majority of people use Nova
[EVO 4G Android Development] KERKEDAGAIN:
HWA was the only thing missing from making this the best ICS ROM from one of the most ingenious individuals on the OGEVO ICS scene (IMHO)

BOSS JOB, AS EXPECTED!!

*MINOR OCD REQUEST..please update the news & weather app/widget to ics/dark light whenever you get around to it please. Throws the overall aesthetic off for my setup..again, whenever
[EVO 4G Android Development] MarkEv0:
Got v3 running. I haven't touched the surface yet but already blown away the difference from v2. Good work team dirt!

I am addicted to GoLauncher EX and it works very well with v3.

---------- Post added at 01:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:00 PM ----------

Is your SD card partitioned and setup?? I know that several people have had problems because they were not partitioned.

One more thing I would suggest... boot and then fix permissions then reboot. Not sure why... but that seems to help out with the stability.

Hope this helps

See ya'

[EVO 4G Android Development] perpetual98:
When I get an incoming call, the icon to answer it is halfway off of the bottom of the screen. Anyone else having that issue?

I'm also not seeing the notification light in v3, even though I think I have it checked to Pulse Notification Light in settings.
[EVO 4G Android Development] MarkEv0:
Incoming call was fine. As for notification light - I test it out by sending myself a text. The light did not work.

Edit: pulse notification now works for me. I saw other posts about fixing permissions so I think it did the trick
[EVO 4G Android Development] 88exp88:
I use apex it just seems faster.

Alright, I read the thread since the update, and I'm still bootlooping. Anyone have any other suggestions?
[EVO 4G Android Development] yotie:
did you partition the S.D. CARD????
[EVO 4G Android Development] CwbAnDroidCwB:
OK here's a noob question probably.....how do I change the LCD density and phone density to get tablet mode to work? Or am I reading it to technical and its something right in front of my face? Lol
[EVO 4G Android Development] jboyer0000:
You can use Rom toolbox
[EVO 4G Android Development] monkeychef:
Yes I did. I noticed it helped a few people. I have also wiped and flashed numerous times. I have about 3 of the file as well from redownloading.
[EVO 4G Android Development] yotie:
are you using Amon Ra Recovery
[EVO 4G Android Development] OneoftheRabble:
Quick question... How is your card partitioned? DL likes to have Ext2 changed to Ext3 and then Ext3 changed to Ext4. Zero swap.

I would also strongly suggest using something like Gruesomes WipeAll or the equivalent two or three times before flashing. It seems to help.

See ya'

Oh and isn't the fact that ropodope is back GREAT?? I'm sure you were jumping up and down when you heard the news....IT WAS AWESOME huh? :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] dadavises:
Having trouble with V3. My phone isn't making through the boot animation. It keeps freezing. I've done everything I can. I already have my sd partitioned from awhile. I've done the usual wipe of caches and data. Need some help.
[EVO 4G Android Development] txnolesfan93:
Just wondering but how long does it freeze for because on first boot the animation circles I believe like 2 times then it does freeze for a bit . I thought I had gotten stuck but then it booted.
[EVO 4G Android Development] dadavises:
I'll try again and let freeze and see how long it takes. Maybe I'm just impatient..lol

---------- Post added at 12:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:12 PM ----------

Its been frozen now for 5 minutes so far.
[EVO 4G Android Development] omair2005:
I have a buddy's evo and had couple Q's..

1. OP mentions partition sdcard incase of boot issues, but I want to use MTD instead. Will that cause issues?

2. OP mentions to use MX player w/ software decoding. Can we also use H/W decoding or is that not enabled?

3. Should I run v6 supercharger script?

TIA!

**

searched and found answer to #1.. which is no! I guess I'll wait out till a2sd is taken out or use another Rom. thanks again for the rom
[EVO 4G Android Development] dadavises:
It's working now. Didn't expect it to take 15 minutes.
[EVO 4G Android Development] OneoftheRabble:
That first boot can take a long time. Especially when you want to see the new ROM!!

But it gets better as the ROM/kernel combo get settled in. :)

See ya'

OotR
[EVO 4G Android Development] Mazda:
Well since you got the answer to your first question....I'll go on ahead and answer your other two :)

#2... YES you can use H/W decoding on MX player

#3... If you plan on using v6 supercharger script which IMO papa smurf's speed/performance tweaks do the same thing and more....I WOULD unsmurf first, reboot and then try your v6 supercharger. IF you don't, you might run into problems as both scripts do similar things and this MIGHT cause the ROM to lag and YEAH...won't be a good thing :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] carhauler1969:
That was a frakkin amazing turn of events, still in awe that we actually pulled that off. Thanks for coming out to meet me yesterday morning, awesome that you did at four a.m. I wanted to personally shake your hand for the valiant effort you put forth in helping bring Ropodope back.

[EVO 4G Android Development] carhauler1969:
Just flashed v3, & tho it appears to freeze in the boot animation it booted right up after the normal 3 reboots when using DTa2sd 2.7.5.3_b4. Looks fakking schweet! :D Nice work :thumbup::thumbup:

Let the tweaking begin :rolleyes:
[EVO 4G Android Development] Mazda:
YEAH the reason it freezes up in the bootanimation is because is not complete yet...is still a WIP :) I'll be adding more frames to it and hopefully getting it done here soon!

[EVO 4G Android Development] Mazda:
Thanks guys!! ONCE again, I appreciate all the kind words and just the feedback (good and bad) that I've got so far!!

NOT promising ANYTHING because it seems like every time I do, LIFE happens...hahahaha....BUT I am currently working on a lot of the issues that have been reported and once I get them sorted out...you guys will love this ROM even more :)

Oh and I wanted to post a few screenshots as it seems that some people were saying that the game "draw something" wasn't working on this ROM......

​

All I did was download it from the market and it works.....my advice for those that can't get it to work is to stop running so many tweaks at the same time...i.e papasmurf's tweaks running side by side v6 supercharger...messing with rom toolbox and OCing like there's no tomorrow.......BELIEVE it or not, running too many "tweaks" ends up slowing you down and causing lag and app issues :)

Alright....I'm off to my corner!! :D:D
[EVO 4G Android Development] PsiPhiDan:
Maz, excellent job on the ROM, I've only been running it for an hour but everything is smooth and going peachy. :D

The black and white is very unique, but do you have any plans to make a version that does not have this theme, or no? I'm only asking because I prefer a more stock look, yet find this ROM to be incredible! I'm just curious really.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Mazda:
Thanks man, I appreciate it!!

I really don't have any plans to get it back to STOCK ICS but I am working on a green theme (YEAH I KNOW..hahaa) BUT is going to look amazing and you MIGHT forget about that ICS blue for a while...hahaha

Alright, going back to my corner.....AGAIN :)
