You're super duper late...hahahah..it's all good thanks though man. You still running the evo??
[EVO 4G Android Development] v5HMeca:
I still have my Evo but I haven't touched it in years.

Just ordered a Nextbit Robin this morning.
[EVO 4G Android Development] gatorz77:
What rom did you use before this? I always use run the GB miui's and I saw your name around the themes forum
[EVO 4G Android Development] v5HMeca:
Experimental release will always be deodexed. I can offer a deodexed variant of the main release as well, but I figured it was unnecessary with the MIUI theme engine. [Update: I must have been confused back when I made this post, because it doesn't support the MIUI theme engine. It is simply inspired by the MIUI theme engine.]

Does everyone prefer deodex? If so, I can drop the odex version all together since odexing is a pain the ass. lol

edit-

Added deodexed variant.

Updated the experimental version.

How can I use a miui theme on this ROM. I've downloaded a few but the themes app doesn't load it
[EVO 4G Android Development] v5HMeca:
I don't know a whole lot about MIUI themes, but I wouldn't expect it to work with them right out of the box. It just uses the MIUI theme engine. Just like some ROMs use MIUI Camera or MIUI Music Player. This ROM uses MIUI theme engine. The themes themselves have to support Lewa. I'll clarify that in the first post. [Update: I must have been confused back when I made this post, because it doesn't support the MIUI theme engine. It is simply inspired by the MIUI theme engine.]
[EVO 4G Android Development] coolwater22:
does front facing camera work??
[EVO 4G Android Development] Fertilizer:
Is there a way to remove the chinese characters from the lock screen?
[EVO 4G Android Development] v5HMeca:
Yeah. Works with stock camera app. I didn't do much testing with third-party camera apps.
[EVO 4G Android Development] v5HMeca:
I think it's theme-dependent. I did try looking for those characters, but without being able to copy/paste, I can't use grep. Manually sifting through some files didn't reveal it, so I'm guessing it's the theme.

Incomplete localization is listed as a "known issue." I will eventually localize the rest of the ROM, but since I'm not much of a designer, I doubt I'll do too much messing around with themes.

Lockscreen issue

Has anyone else had an issue with the lock screen coming up blank? (no pad lock icon to unlock it with). The only way out of this is to hold the power button down until the phone options screen comes up and then reboot.

This has happened to me twice today.

Other than that, it is working very nicely.
[EVO 4G Android Development] tismo74:
is this happening with the new update?

---------- Post added at 10:55 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:24 AM ----------

The best miui theme I found for this rom.

[EVO 4G Android Development] BenRivera:
It has happened 2 more time since my post. I am downloading the update and will flash, hopefully it will be fixed.

I also remember turing on the Calendar widget for the lock screen, I wonder if that is causing the issue.
[EVO 4G Android Development] v5HMeca:
I'm assuming that's it. I'll see if I can replicate the problem.
[EVO 4G Android Development] BenRivera:
Current update won't boot, stuck in a bootloop of the Lewa splash screen. Trying the deodex next.

---------- Post added at 06:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:13 PM ----------

deodex version does load either...

Can I get the 12.06.10 version back?
[EVO 4G Android Development] v5HMeca:
Did you wipe your caches? It shouldn't be in boot loop since nothing that would cause that was changed. Turn on signature verification to ensure the zip file isn't corrupted. I'll PM you a link to the previous version.
[EVO 4G Android Development] kendotelie:
ive tried downloading lockscreens from the themse chooser, and changing them caused the rom to bootloop at the bootanimation
[EVO 4G Android Development] Silvrb6:
I'm having the same issue, its bootlooping and I've tried everything I could think of to do like fixing permissions, the file is not currupted, I've whipped everything multiple times, pulling the battery and wipping again.... just nothing works, I've been wanting to try this rom also so if I could have the version that's a step down from this one I would love that until this issue can be solved :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] v5HMeca:
The links have been reverted to the previous version while I do a super-wipe and re-flash. If both odex and deodex versions work for me, then I'll need some help replicating the problem you guys are having. Recovery.log and logcat would be helpful.

Honestly, though, I'm expecting them to flash just fine. I test them before I upload them, but it's possible I got my files mixed up. Right now I'm downloading directly from my site and checking hashes, enabling signature verification, etc.

--

Also, I tried changing lock screen and didn't have any issues. I also enabled calendar widget from advanced settings. I still didn't have any issues with force-closing, boot loops, or anything like that. Is it possible you guys are getting themes/lockscreens for old versions of lewa or non-hdpi devices?

--

Update: Good news! I've been able to replicate the boot-loop issue (but still not the lockscreen issue). I'm expecting it to be an easy fix. Should have a proper update within the next hour or two.

Update2: All fixed. :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] tismo74:
I was on the previous version , never had a boot loop. I am on the new version after wiping only dalvik and cache and no issues whatsoever apart from few crashes of apps here and there. I don't understand why a lot are having boot loops. The only thing I can think of is using different kernel.
[EVO 4G Android Development] v5HMeca:
See, that's what I did as well when I tested the new version. I only wiped caches (incl. dalvik), and I had no issues at all. But when I did a "super-wipe," I got the boot loop issue like they were describing.

So I rebuilt the ROM from scratch and tested after super-wipe. No issues this time around. So the version in the first post (@everyone, check MD5 to be sure you have most recent one) should resolve boot-loop issues.

I'm still not sure what caused the problem. Hopefully it doesn't happen again.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Silvrb6:
Thanks! I'm downloading now, I'm on the experimental version now and I love it!

Getting Themed Swype Crashed

Well, I downloaded this rom and installed it via boot manager....I did the super wipe, and went to boot up, and I got massive crashes with Themed Swype....ended up rebooting into recovery and flashing the update zip from another rom.

Anyone else experience this?
[EVO 4G Android Development] coolwater22:
great rom!!!

so im redownloading the update you just put up since it was bootlooping for me too. i went back to 06-12-12 version and it works great,but I was wondering how do i get the phone to turn to landscape? i know the rotate icon is there on the quick settings but i want it to work when i turn the phone...sorry for the noob question.
[EVO 4G Android Development] v5HMeca:
Did you turn on signature verification? That's always a good idea when installing a ROM as it will ensure file integrity. I'm not sure why you're having issues with Swype. That symptom sounds like what happens when you install Swype to /system/app without linked libs in /system/libs, but the version of Swype that I include installs to /data/app. You can try manually removing it, but it really shouldn't be happening at all.

Ideally I'd use package manager to install apps during initial setup or first boot, but I can't figure out a way to do that programmatically. I messed around with init.d scripting and setting a loop that waited for the system to boot, but init wouldn't proceed until init.d script finished, causing it to wait indefinitely. If anyone has any ideas on how to more properly install user apps, I'm all ears. Most ROM developers just drop the APKs in /data/app, which is what I'm currently doing.
[EVO 4G Android Development] cuttingedge79:
The real question should be, is this ROM designed to run on both 003 and 004 hardware versions. What version did you test this on? Can anyone confirm it works with none to minimal bugs on 003?
[EVO 4G Android Development] v5HMeca:
That shouldn't really matter. It's CM7-based and uses CM drivers. The changes presented by Lewa are mostly cosmetic, far abstracted from minor hardware differences. The meat and potatoes of porting it is the process of going from GSM to CDMA, but again CM7 offers everything necessary to do that quite easily. If there was some sort of distinction to be made between 004 and 003, then it would be at a much lower abstraction layer, more directly associated with CM7 (not Lewa). But to answer your question, I only tested on 003.
[EVO 4G Android Development] originalmg:
I am hooked. Been running Lewa for 24 hours now & I absolutely love it. I've been a flashaholic for a few years now & I think I've finally found the ROM with all the elements I'm looking for. Functional, aesthetically pleasing & just awesome. Thank you for the great work!
[EVO 4G Android Development] tismo74:
Ditto.
[EVO 4G Android Development] HarlanPepper0010:
Loving this ROM, one question, is there a way to change the buttons on the power widget drop down? Can't for three life of me find the option... :confused::rolleyes:

[EVO 4G Android Development] v5HMeca:
LeWa very recently added the ability to change the buttons in there (and they changed it from being at the bottom to being its own page, like Quick Settings or MIUI's notification panel). The experimental version will have this feature, but not the primary release just yet. Eventually I'll update the primary release to a version of LeWa that has this feature.

when I download the ICS 4.0 lockscreen and apply it, all is fine with the phone until the screen times out and bootloops the bootanimation. I've wiped and reflashed multiple times with this result. The lockscreens that come with the downloadable themes work but not the individual downloadable ones
[EVO 4G Android Development] v5HMeca:
Will you post the lock screen so I can test this?
[EVO 4G Android Development] dmankl:
very nice, coming from miui it was very familiar i loved the feel of it and the app drawer that was hidden , it was refreshing but i dont think i can make the switch for a perm rom for me just yet but great job :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] coolwater22:
does hdmi work on this? i tried it and it reads the cable but nothing on the tv.
[EVO 4G Android Development] dmankl:
also i loved how you can auto install apps from the apk folder
[EVO 4G Android Development] v5HMeca:
I didn't even think to test this. Thanks for bringing it to my attention. I'll look into it.

Update I used HDMwIn and it worked just fine. My HDMI monitor was showing me the exact same thing as my phone. I tried both portrait and landscape. I played a video. It all seemed to work without a hitch. Is there some other method I should be testing?

Hey guys, this is what I do to get amazing performance along with awesome battery life.

Mason kernel .15RC4 SBC FSO

Wheatley

SIO

uV -75

turn off surface dithering

You guys should get really good results. I highly recommend this.
[EVO 4G Android Development] dmankl:
how did you get mason .15?

and what is wheatley and SIO?

[EVO 4G Android Development] MBQ_:
Kernel: http://goo.im/devs/atyoung/Mason-RC/Mason-G-d15rc4-sbc-fso-supersonic-signed.zip

Wheatley is the governor. I believe it was based on 'ondemand' but dont hold me accountable. It'll make your phone run fast, but is also battery-friendly

SIO is a scheduler, this one is voted he best because it makes your files secure, and allows faster write speed. If you want to change to these settings, I recommend the app 'NoFrills CPU' it is free on the Play Store

[EVO 4G Android Development] coolwater22:
how did you get it to work?? the first time i tried it, my phone read the cabel but the second time it didnt and just froze my phone and had to reboot. what i did was first startt the app then plug the phone and tv in(tv first then to the phone)..
[EVO 4G Android Development] v5HMeca:
I plugged in the cable first with my monitor in DVI mode. I started HDMwIn and glanced at the settings. I pressed the enable button, switched the monitor over to HDMI, and it was there. I had actually never tried HDMI on my phone before, so that was kinda cool. I was glad to see it worked so easily. Kudos to Team Win.

My general rule of thumb with these sort of things is that the device that's doing the output (e.g., evo) should be sending output through the cable before turning on (or switching over) the input device (e.g., monitor, tv). Basically, I don't like to have the input device looking at an empty signal. I don't know if there's any technical merit to this but it's always worked for me. I adopted this method after my TV kept going, "Welp, there's no signal here so I'm just gonna switch back to the cable box" whenever I'd try switching over to PS3 before turning on the PS3. lol
[EVO 4G Android Development] v5HMeca:
The version that he linked is both FSO (File Synchronization Off) and SBC (Smart Battery Control).

I appreciate your quick and descriptive response. I took a gamble and installed your ROM and I have to say, so far it's kicking all the others asses as far as performance is concerned. Battery life also seems to be pretty good compared to most roms I've installed over the last 2 years since I've has this phone. You got a good thing going here. You have my support.

Let the ROM 'settle' and you'll be blown away.
[EVO 4G Android Development] cmf04:
Loving the rom so far, I have been using it for the last few days..pretty solid. I use Savagedzen 2.2.1 kernel and get awesome battery life.

Two things I noticed are:

1. Call waiting doesn't show who is calling.

2. The messaging app doesn't show the names and pictures of the contacts in the individual thread for each.

Keep up the excellent work.
[EVO 4G Android Development] kendotelie:
What I.do is click the themes app, then hit customize. I select the lockscreen option and I downloaded the five rings and ICS 4.0 lockscreens.it'll download and I can apply it, but once the the screens turns off, the phone reboots directly to the bootanimation and loops
[EVO 4G Android Development] kendotelie:
Outside of this issue, I like the ROM way over base CM7. It has that new look that MIUI brought to ROM's but still keeps all the features that the phone can accomplish. Great work
[EVO 4G Android Development] BenRivera:
This new build did fix the boot loop for me. But I still get the blank lock screen after a while if I enable the Calendar widget. I have disabled it for now and so far no issue with the lock screen.

[EVO 4G Android Development] v5HMeca:
After digging into it a bit, it looks like folks with other devices have problems with that particular lockscreen. I'm not sure what causes the issue, but I'll see if there's a way for me to resolve it (maybe it's just some bad math in the animation timings or something?). I'm inclined to chalk it up as a problem that the theme author needs to resolve, however.
[EVO 4G Android Development] v5HMeca:
The "lockscreen" file is just a zip archive. You can open it with 7zip or whatever. It contains another copy of "main.xml." You can try tinkering with that if you want. I just haven't gotten around to it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] gatorz77:
I don't know about you but my menu button doesn't register when it should. The home, back, and search buttons do. I'm on the experimental build
[EVO 4G Android Development] v5HMeca:
I was able to translate the lockscreen. I'll push an update later today or tomorrow. It's Father's Day tomorrow here in the States (for you foreigners, that's the day American consumerists tell us that we don't love our dads unless we buy him stuff and get him a card). So I'm spending time with him this weekend.

[EVO 4G Android Development] suprano:
Thanks for the deodexed version. :thumbup:

MIUIeD UP!
[EVO 4G Android Development] v5HMeca:
It's a matter of taste.

Mokee has a lot of neat features, some of which seem unique to it (like a barcode scanner seamlessly baked in), and a decent looking interface. On the other hand, its development seems to have stagnated (last update was in March) and the most recent version of it is still considered to be in the alpha stage of development.
[EVO 4G Android Development] v5HMeca:
1. Do you mean it doesn't show a number at all? If you just mean that it doesn't show their picture or something, then I think it has to do with how the numbers are matched (i.e., Lewa says that 555-555-5555 is not the same as 1-555-555-5555). Either way, I'll have to test this (which will be a pain in the ass to coordinate, lol) before I can figure it out and possibly offer a resolution.

2. The individual messaging tab for each contact is actually connected to the first number that shows up in the contact's entry. So if you have their Home number listed before their Mobile number, then it will show up blank. You can resolve this two ways: when on the messaging tab, just above the text-entry field, it says "To:" and has their phone number, tap the number and select their other number; this selection is not persistent, however. The more permanent resolution is to simply make their Mobile number the first one that appears in the entry for that contact.

It should be be noted that both of these are issues with Lewa itself, not with the port per se, which means that Lewa developers might resolve these issues in future builds.

Maybe I missed it but how would I go about getting voicemail (vvm if available) working on this ROM? I am using the latest experimental release with mason 15rc4+sbc. I tried using flashable gapps light but I think I did something wrong. Tia and great ROM otherwise. :D

Sent from my ever-changing OG Evo...
[EVO 4G Android Development] Circaflex:
Here is how i do it and it works everytime YMMV though:

I already have working titanium backups but ill do it from scratch in case you dont.

I would do a nandroid of your current setup

Flash a Sense Rom

Verify voicemail works

Use Titanium Backup to Backup the APP+DATA

Nandroid back to your Lewa Rom

Use TB to restore both the APP+DATA

Do not open app yet

Reboot into recovery, fix permissions

Open voicemail app compose a 25second message and send to activate@vvm.sprint.com

Soon you should see if provision and download your messages

Some have got it to work other ways i have attached a vvm.apk

Install the apk like normal DONT OPEN APP

Reboot to recovery and fix permissions

Open App and send the mssage to activate@vvm.sprint.com

Ive used the TB method, but others have said the second works too
[EVO 4G Android Development] cmf04:
1. I re-tested this and it only happens when you have the keypad open while in a call (like if you had to enter an extension) then the incoming call doesn't display a name or number.

2. I do have the mobile number as the first number but my numbers are stored as (xxx) xxx-xxxx, the messaging app shows them as xxxxxxxxxx, perhaps that is the issue.

Thanks for responding
[EVO 4G Android Development] v5HMeca:
I actually went through and removed all superfluous characters from my numbers because I was having the same sort of issue with another app. I'll see if there's a way for me to increase the chances of a match programmatically, but I don't know Java, especially not smali (which is less abstracted derivative of Java bytecode), so I'd be relying on someone else to have done it.

I haven't installed this rom but going to. I am trying to convince myself to "suffer" using a keyboard that does not have arrows. Don't know about you all, but I love those little arrows on the keyboard, ICS apparently got rid of that :( ah ah ah ah

This ROM isn't ICS, and it comes with Swype, which has that functionality (just swipe from Swype button to character type button).
[EVO 4G Android Development] suarezn:
OK so quick question: Is this ROM just a MIUI like layout on top of CM 7 or does it actually have MIUI features (i.e. Can you turn the torch on just by pressing home button from the lock screen? It sounds like you can't really apply MIUI themes. Can you setup security by app?, etc)
