[EVO 4G Android Development] Robobob1221:
Other stuff

Ok once you've downloaded this ROM I have some recommendations.

Recovery

Go this thread RA Supersonic v4.3 SmelkusMOD, and download this recovery. It is currently, in my opinion, the best recovery out there for our phone. Just take a look at that wipe menu. Get it, flash it, boom! Next make a nandroid, you know, just in case. Back up all that you think is needed. Then use the first two options in the wipe menu (Clear caches and Format all). If you wanna, use superwipe just to make sure.

Don't forget to press thanks after d/l. Find Amon Ra and drellesdee as well thank them too!!

Sd Ext Partition

Now, as mentioned, I've baked in dta2sd. To get this to work you need an ext- partition on your sd-card. You can do that in the recovery or if you want Google the Mini Tool Partition Wizard Home Edition and you can use this on your PC to do the same thing.

Bear in mind partioning your sd card will WIPE EVERYTHING so any data you want to keep, move to your computer manually first or somewhere it is safe. I recommend using ext3 as your partition for this ROM and making it between 512MB-1GB(1024MB), no bigger. I'm using a 16GB class 10 with storage (14GB) and ext3 (1GB). If you use a2sd you will have free internal storage of around 300MB+ on initialising.

Once you've wiped your phone, and partitioned your sd-card, flash the rom zip, and go through the installer. It's pretty self explanatory. You can choose to auto-reboot or go back to recovery and do whatever you want before rebooting.

The splash screen will hang for a few minutes, and then the boot animation will too, as the phone sets up. Give it in total about 15minutes to finish loading the first time. Then check it out:).

Misc

There are some additional apps I included in the ROM installation process. These can be found in the changelog in post #3.

These are the free versions but I strongly recommend supporting these devs and their great apps by getting the paid versions.

Also there is a Tweaks app, Rosie Utility, and Wallpaper Chooser included for doing stuff. You'll figure it out :good:

Wallpaper Chooser

Link to post with wallpaper chooser apk

Thanks to Tommy Tomatoe for this handy apk. Now I've only add a few pictures in to this. If you want any added send me a PM with a link to the pictures you want included and I will go about putting them in.

Status Bar alternative

Over on this thread I've had a go at making some alternative Statusbars for people to flash in recovery. I've had a go at making two so far. If people wanna let me know of anything else they might want. Cool.

Launcher Replacements

The default launcher replacement, ss Launcher, is pretty slick in my opinion. It's limitations are your creativity. Check out this thread to see what other users have come up with.

The Rosie is being brought back and is themed now via Digitalkarma's v7.77 Heaven/Jackpot ROM, 'cos it got the look. Remappable button and other Rosie Functions via the Rosie Utility are a big thanks to Tommy T. Here is the thread. Check it out.

The other replacements are GO Launcher EX, MiHome, Nemus, and Holo Launcher.

Bugs

If you run into any bugs or issues please report them on this thread. Try to give as many details as possible, whats happening, when it happened, what were you doing at the time, a logcat if necessary (the catlog app will help you there), and also what set up you chose in the aroma installer, launcher, kernel, add-ons...If I can replicate it then it will make it easier to fix the problem.

Current bugs:

-> SystemUI may or may not force close on first boot before signing in. Just click ok and proceed to sign in.

-> SMS for KDDI au users: The first message might fail to send. Immediately re-write your message in new text box and it will send fine.

->Au One Market not working: Can't get the fix to work either.

-> Sprint users: SMS will fail to send. No solution as of yet
