Hi pimpol10.

Here is a flashable ZIP containing the stock Rosie.apk. This is the one direct from the OTA package. It does not have Landscape or 360. From my understanding, the Smooth Rosie is handled inside a completely different file. In theory, flashing this should restore the original Rosie, but keep the smooth scrolling. Full disclosure, I did not modify those files myself, they were obtained/modified by OMJ. I am learning. Just as a saving point, the ROM has much more than just these modified files. A lot of time was spent working on performance from free memory. That's one more reason why this ROM was designed with a full experience without the all the extra apps. It's your choice as to what apps you have, it shouldn't be mine.

freeza's dual core mod has been removed. Actually, his script has been modified to never touch the CPU. It only works with Minfree (memory) values in different states. I have been experimenting with CPU controlling, and have, for the time being been doing it using an app instead of init.d changes. I'd highly recommend, if you're still looking for performance, but some battery saving, to download No-frills CPU control from the Play Store. Set the clock-speed to 1.2GHz, and have it apply on boot. If you want to have even more control over it, you might download a bit more robust CPU throttling app, and use profiles for when the screen is on, off, phone is charging, etc.

BIG THANKS man! I really appreciate it. I will flash this some time this week and get back to you. I'm really excited!!! Again thank you thank you. :victory:

---------- Post added at 08:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:26 PM ----------

I tried this once and smooth scroll was not enabled. It was a different rom and it was not flashable just a drag and drop to replace existing roise file, but I'll give this a shot. I'll check back.

---------- Post added at 09:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:30 PM ----------

How do I install the Visual Voicemail app apk? Can I place it in the rom's app folder before I flash or is it more difficult than that?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] closeone:
Sorry. Yes, you can probably do that. Don't unzip and zip the ROM again, just drag it into /system/app

You can grab it here if you need it. I don't know if it will install to /data/app, as one would normally install an app, but you could try that as well. Otherwise, you should be able to just flash the ROM, and place a copy of it in the /system/app folder using ES File Explorer.

~co~
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] pimpol10:
OK, cool. I'll try it out...Thanks again.

---------- Post added at 09:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:24 PM ----------

OK last question. lol Does this still have the HTC Navigation installed?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] closeone:
I'm not quite sure what app your talking about. :confused: If you're talking about TeleNav or Google Maps, you can grab those from the Play Store. If you're talking about that HTC Footprints (or whatever it is called), that app isn't even in the stock ROM as far as I know.

~co~
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] pimpol10:
Yeah got it, I was confused. I am running it now. After flashing the stock rosie apk smooth scroll went away....?? Also how do I enter other emails adds besides gmail? I want the regular email icon, so if you can tell me where it is normally located in a stock rom maybe I can remove it from there and place it into your rom?? I need POP/IMAP. Thanks
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] closeone:
Humm... I'll have to check into Smooth Rosie. I'm not quite sure at this moment.

Another person had requested the HTC Mail App. I had no idea that it was that popular (I've always disliked the way it worked. K-9 Mail is what I use for third-party email support). Here is a flashable ZIP that will restore the App and widgets. I recommend that you clear your Delvik Cache before flashing.

Sorry,

~co~
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] pimpol10:
THANKS! Ran out of thanks. Multi task and Ram available is absolutely wonderful on this rom. I love how you did the weather just as a picture and totally not needed video. Hopefully you can find a fix for smooth scrolling. I think I'm sticking to this rom!:laugh:
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] closeone:
Hi there. Thanks! For the weather issue, it turns out that it has fallback images if the videos are removed. I removing the APK with those images in my first release, and that ended up causing issues. Now, that one is back, so still images now take the role of videos in telling you the weather. :)

Well, I went ahead and modded the Rosie.apk so that it wouldn't go landscape (that's a simple one), so it does have Smooth Scrolling, but the tradeoff is that it is still 360. That one will take a little more looking into. While I probably shouldn't be saying this, I will. It's possible that the correct version is available as a mod either in the Themes and Apps section, or as a flashable zip in one of the other ROM posts (this is where people will end up hating me). :(

Here's the download for the one I modified from the original in this ROM (thanks again OMJ).

~co~
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] pimpol10:
I tried the Rosie.apk and it works great. But 360 still gives me problems because I only have 3 panels and it gliches. If I can get a non 360 it would be perfect! Thank you

Mike
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] pimpol10:
I got this from another rom. It has smooth scroll in it, but has landscape. You said it was easy to disable landscape, would you mind doing it to this Rosie? I'll just drop it into the rom before I flash. Thanks in advance!:)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] closeone:
Yeah sure. ;) Give me a few minutes.

~co~

Edit: Here you go! I have not tested it. It's flashable, just like all of the other ones. You can also just pull the Rosie.apk out of there if you want to do something with it manually. It also appears from the timestamps on the files, that it might be from the old RUU. I don't believe that there should be any problems using it though. If it doesn't work, you can always flash one of my other archives back.

Thanks!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] pimpol10:
You are the man!!! :good: This rom should be complete now! THANKS!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] phillymade:
any way to get a zip of removed apps? Looking for Hub, Watch and Mail.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] pimpol10:
You can pull them from other roms and place them into this rom before you flash.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] closeone:
That's not a bad idea. I've got it uploading right now. Give me a few minutes. ;) I took out anything that you should be able to get from the Play Store to save a bit of space. This one is not flashable.

~co~

Edit: Here you go!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] zeks:
I know the 3 dot menu has been removed, but like other roms how can i remove it from the top right? Like in the Play Store for example. Some roms dont have the 3 dot menu there and thats what I want.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] phillymade:
Thank You
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] closeone:
I'm sorry zeks. I am not aware of anything like that. I also don't know any ROMs that do that. Can you give me a couple examples? I'm pretty sure that this is part of a specific application, and not part of the ROM.

Glad to help. ;)

~co~
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] pimpol10:
Never seen that either.

---------- Post added at 05:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:11 PM ----------

After using this rom for two days, I must say I really like it! In fact I like it so much, look at the bottom :). Lots of ram available, better multitasking, light and fast. Everything I want. Just one same problem the skins don't really work right, but I didn't care about them that much so I removed it from the rom before I flashed, making it lighter. Closeone is one of the most helpful guy on xda, very cool man:good:. THANKS! Getting back to me sweet new rom now ;)

Anyway to make Roise smoother? It's smooth already, but stutters here and there(happens in all ROMS). I wish there was a way to lock it in at 60fps at all times. It would be super sweet!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] zeks:
MeanRom is one of em. Since the play store doesn't have the 3dot on the top, when I press menu, the menu pops up from the bottom-up, instead from top-down.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] pimpol10:
Is there any way to mod the Rosie.apk to make it Ultra Smooth Rosie?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] zeks:
Here's a sample.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] closeone:
Thank you!

Yes. I noticed the exact same problem with the themes as you did (I run my own ROM). Some elements theme fine, but most, like the lockring do not. I will address that bug in the next release, (probably by removing them altogether, and making them a flashable ZIP instead). All of the themes were moved from the /system/app to /data/app so that they could easily be uninstalled the "normal" way.

I'm sorry, there weren't any plans for that, honestly because I've never seen that mod before. I may have to get into contact with mikeyxda at some point.

There may be. But, at this moment I can't do this myself. I'm sorry.

It's really hard to please everyone. I'm still trying to think of ways to keep this the small ROM that it already is, but still give you choice. I'll figure it out eventually, but know that I'm trying.

~co~
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] zeks:
It's cool man. You're doing a great job. I was wondering why those two aren't linked with the 3 dot menu removal mod.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] pimpol10:
I used the Ultra Smooth Rosie from OneX and replaced it on my HTC EVO LTE and it worked! It is SUPER smooth now. Unbelievable!! WOW Smooth as hell! Almost zero lag. I attached it so everyone can enjoy it. BIG Thanks to hamdir. It worked on UR Rom not sure about others. You gotta try it out Closeone. Almost 0 stutter.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] closeone:
Thanks for posting. I didn't know that the Rosie version from the OneX would work on here. Sorry. Thanks for experimenting. I'll have take a look at hamdir's post and see what I else I can find, assuming that he allows redistribution of the apks, or has a guide for how to modify them.

~co~

(I feel pretty bad right now)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] pimpol10:
I didn't know either. lol But I though, what the hell, why not be the guinea pig. Working flawlessly! Don't feel bad man. Thanks for all your hard work man! Seriouly I appreciate it a lot!:good: He does have a guide, but I was too lazy lol
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] phillymade:
Just waht i was looking for! Worked like a charm, thanks for sharing
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] pimpol10:
No problem. isn't it bad ass now! Smoother than hell! I love how it doesn't have 360 or landscape, super annoying IMO. Im really enjoying it. That and this Rom equal perfection. No more flashing for me. Thanks Closeone!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] phillymade:
Agreed! This ROM is Smokin! I added back some stuff that was removed, added google now, this rosie, and I'm running at 280 to 230 megs of free RAM. WOW this is fast, no sense reloads!

Now for a stupid question, how do I switch between keyboards? When in a text field, there is no keyboard icon in the notification bar.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] phillymade:
Thank you kind sir. Much appreciated
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] closeone:
Thanks guys. I'm really, really, happy to hear that you're enjoying the ROM. :)

Thank you for the link Josh.

~co~
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] phillymade:
No dice, flashed and it did not work.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] closeone:
I know that this is kind of a strange workaround, but what you can do is go into Settings > Language & Keyboard, tap Swype (even if that's not the keyboard you want to use), and within the settings, tap Select Input Method. From there, you should be able to select the keyboard of your choice.

~co~
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] phillymade:
I'll try that. The above zip themed out some notification icons.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] closeone:
Ahh. That ZIP contains a different framework-res.apk. If you want the one from this ROM back, you can simply replace it with the one from the ROM's ZIP file (/system/framework). From what I've gathered, it appears that you're comfortable with copying files into the system directory.

If not, you can always open up the ZIP file you flashed, delete the framework-res.apk out, copy the one from this ROM in, and flash it.

~co~
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] phillymade:
I'll do that
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] freeza:
Brilliant work man. I'm actually quite jealous. I normally flash ........no ROMs on any of my phones beside my own and maybe CM, but if I still had the LTE, I would definitely flash this to see how far you've come. Glad you're on these forums. We need more humble, down to earth, and all around awesome developers like yourself around here.

Congrats on getting the ROM out and hopefully you will gain all the following that you deserve with this piece.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] pimpol10:
If I delete "70memtweak" will it revert my stock kernel settings back? Newbie question, just trying to understand more.

Also is there a way to adjust the settings in "70memtweak" to make your rom used more ram before closing apps to improve multitasking? thanks
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] closeone:
freeza. Thank you. I appreciate your comment so much. I'm going to get a little shuteye right now, but I just wanted to let you know to expect a PM in the morning/afternoon.

Yes. Well sort of. That script will no longer handle memory minfree values. I think you'll find that your performance will be a bit better if you leave the script in there, but I encourage you to try it both ways. In terms of adjusting the values in the script, I'll happily check into it in the tomorrow. freeza did way more experimentation than myself with those values (and knows an unfathomable amount of information on this), hence the reason why I left them exactly as he did. By the way freeza, yep, that is adapted from your cputweak script. :)

~co~
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] pimpol10:
The way Freeza adjust the value might differ on different roms? Your rom has way more ram than other ones I've seen so maybe we can use the extra free ram for more apps, less reloads. Just a guess..if it makes no sense at all please discard it lol.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] closeone:
I'm sorry for my absence the entire day. I think you'll find it worth the wait though.

Actually, the theory is a little bit backwards. See, a number of apps are preloaded into memory. That's great, but what happens if you want to load up an app that hasn't been preloaded? The system will have to make room for another app to be loaded, by unloading another. By having RAM available to start out with, an app can load into memory without having to unload apps. It should actually speed up things. This is my understanding. It may be wrong, so take it with a grain of salt. ;)

~co~
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] closeone:
Thank you.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Sloth:
The download link is super slow 3+ hours? :( just letting you know maybe something is wrong with the link not trying to be a richard head :D

Update: Seems to be something going on with the dev host servers I'm guessing :D I've tried a couple downloads using dev host all are 3+ hours :(
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] rpenrod23:
+1, which is a bummer cuz I too, really wanna flash this.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] klept0:
nothing wrong with the servers...just a huge influx of users eating BW up...apologize for any issues
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] P.Mobile:
so this rom has dual core baked in it???
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] wwjoshdew:
My bad...
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] klept0:
its been updated to R3 my friend
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] closeone:
Sorry for my late responses.

Hopefully you were able to download it! :)

Thanks klept0!

Sorry evo401, currently does not have both cores forced on, but with a quick look at the Play Story, it appears that the app "CPU Tweaker" by 3C has an option to force both cores on.

~co~
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] phillymade:
Just flashed R3, and no google now
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] closeone:
Yeah. I'm looking into that one. It may be... a bit much (out of the scope of this ROM). Memory usage is a bit higher than I had hoped. I'm kind of curious about experimenting with it without the Voice. It would save a bit a space without the TTS modules, but I don't know what it will do to the memory footprint.

Thanks,

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] phillymade:
I added in some removed apps from the zip you posted, then added google now, still running at 280 megs of free ram and 140 apps. By the way, thanks for the ICS style recent apps, nice.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] pimpol10:
Hey CO, is there any way I can just add Recent Apps Style like ICS Style? I'm still on your older rom not planning on flashing the newest release because I'm still very happy with R2 :). Thanks!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ZEDEK:
Peace All,

Quick question...I want to flash this ROM--but im unsure if I need to have Lazy Panda's S-OFF method because it has the new OTA firmware...can someone elaborate on this?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] NaterTots:
Some of it depends on whether or not you took the OTA that recently came out.

If still the original Hboot then you can flash the Rom followed by the new radio's that came out.

If on the newest 1.15 Hboot then you would need to be HTC unlocked and I think you could still flash this rom but you can't flash radio's anymore . Or it may be by fastboot. Not sure on that.

Personally I would just S-off with Lazy panda if your still on the Original Hboot. (1.13 I think?)

If your worried about bricking just make a Ubuntu bootable USB drive to run Ubuntu temporarily. And if you do that you may as well run it from that USB to s-off. That way if it does brick you already have Ubuntu loaded and ready.

Sorry for the off topic CloseOne.

I do plan to check out your Rom so Thanks for the work!

Really appreciated!

Naters
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ZEDEK:
...Hmmm, well I never took the OTA I was on Pokemon ROM then I switched to ViperROM (neither of these had the OTA incorporated). So I should be good right? My Hboot (which Im about to check) should be the original since the Evo came out
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] NaterTots:
The new viper 4G is based on 1.22.

If that ran fine then you should be good to go.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] closeone:
Sorry pimpol10. Unfortunately, not that I know of. There might be an app that can replace the Recent Apps menu, but i do not know.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] carrilloevo:
can't download the latest release , it keeps getting stuck, and after that i get network error...... any mirrors for the latest release...... please :confused:

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] klept0:
I will host this on my Drive for a bit - HERE is a R3 mirror
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] pimpol10:
I have one problem. The weather current location is not functioning correctly. Sometime it would be stuck and not show any city at all, just shows current location. Other times it would be stuck at my previous location(the city I was at). Tried to everything to refresh location but it is impossible. Only fix is to reboot the phone.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] klept0:
If it happens to do that again...try toggling airplane mode on/off to see if that fixes the issue
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] klept0:
Random question...what's with the dual signal bars?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] closeone:
Thank you klept0.

As far as I know pimpol10, this is not a problem with the ROM (of course I don't mind being wrong. If I made some error, I do want to make it right).

The dual signal bars come with the SystemUI from the CoreDroid modifications from the One X. Just toggle off data, and you'll notice that one disappears. In this case, there's one for data, and one for voice. Also, because I have made absolutely no changes to any of the files, some things display a bit strange. For instance, it'll show a roaming icon even though you are not roaming. Also, for some reason that I'm not quite sure about, there is an extra airplane mode icon that shows up. Both are cosmetic, and do not affect any connections the phone makes.

I realize that this is kind of half-baked right now, but I am using my ROM as a tool to learn. I know this sounds scary, but I won't knowingly publish anything that will cause a problem with the way your phone functions (other than cosmetically, as seen here). Also, I run my own ROM as my daily, so anything that I notice, can be ironed out when I see it (one of those things happens to be Google Now, which uses more battery, and is not quite as stable in this implementation as I had hoped).

Thanks,

~co~
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Sun1914:
Not sure why but could't THANK you on the OP....

Anyway, enjoying the rom. Thank you for the work u put in.

Only thing I've noticed besides what hasn't been mentions already Google voice not working to well but in all honesty I'm not sure if it was the rom or the iphone that was sending me the mms to my google voice but I wasn't able to receive any mms to GV.

oh and no contact pics in messaging app..even after running the photo unlock app mentioned in another thread.

Keep it up...I'm riding with you homie!!!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] sivarticus85:
How do you add back the weather video animations inside the weather app? Do I just push the original weather.apk?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] closeone:
Thanks.

Humm... I don't know. Nothing has been done that should interfere with Google Voice. I don't receive too many MMS messages, and while I use Google Voice, I don't have the app installed. I may have to experiment with it a bit. If anyone else is using Google Voice, would you mind checking into your ability to receive and send MMS messages, as well as SMS messages from within Google Voice? Also, for you Sun1914, I might recommend testing Google Voice on another ROM?

It's possible, but you'll have to push 50MB of video clips into the /system/media/weather folder. It's an awful lot for some eye-candy that's looked at only once in a while. That's why I've opted to not include them.

~co~
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] sivarticus85:
Ohh.. Didn't know that. Lol nevermind then it's not worth it. I don't look at it that often anyway, I just happened to be showing off the phone and that was a feature I was going to showcase. Thanks man.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] stangpwrd79:
Rom runs great...n the google voiced app isn't needed just consumes memory....voice will never be better than just good old google search special when is noisy all round you...so I can live without it..A+ Rom ..
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] closeone:
Yeah. They look really nice, but yes, it really does come down to, "hey these weather animations are cool!" (which they are, just really, really large)

Thanks stangpwrd79. Actually, I think you have the two mixed up. He was talking about Google Voice, not Google Voice Search/or Google Now. I agree with you on the Google Now statement, after having tested it. It uses up way much more memory, and sits in the background eating up battery. I am giving thought to either trying a different version, or just completely doing away with it. ;)

I'm really sorry carrilloevo. Google Now will not included in the next version. I've determined that it is way out of the scope of this ROM. It appears that disabling "Google Search" will disable Google Now.

Thanks for posting your screenshot. What launcher did you decide to use? Is that Apex or Nova? Also, what's that clock. ;)
