Thank you!

I'm sorry ssojyeti2. I guess you answered that yourself. :o I'll be sure to add that to the OP as soon as possible. Thanks!

Whoops. I know that it isn't blatantly obvious, and I should add something about it, but if you tap and hold on the clock widget and drag it to edit, you can set it for the town/area you are in. I'll have to remember to add that as well! :)

Thanks. I'm glad you like it!

~co~

Edit: I was going to hit your thanks button, but I'm already at my thanks limit. Another thing to remember to do later!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ssojyeti2:
Ok I picked my city but it still doesn't show the weather icon, just the forecast...
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] closeone:
True... Humm. I know that you do some theming. Do you know off the top of your head if the icons are in the weather.apk, or somewhere else?

I really want to avoid including the weather.apk for two reasons: it sits around actively running in memory quite often, and there are about 60MB of weather animations (mp4s) that cause the Weather app to force-close when removed. If I include the Weather app itself, it won't launch, and it will start taking a little memory for itself (it's negligible, but picking a weather app was something that I felt was better left in the hands of the user).

Thanks,

Closeone, if you'd like to provide people with an option to revert fonts, you're absolutely welcome to use my stock font zip here: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/345001/ICS Font - Roboto Standard.zip

My original thread is here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1754841
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ssojyeti2:
I'm pretty sure the weather images are in com.htc.resources.apk but they might just be in weather.apk...

Just a thought... I know that Venom Rom has an option to use an alternate weather app. I know they aren't sharing the tweaks but maybe we could incorporate that one option ourselves? Seems like just some xml edits but I could be wrong... If its smali I'm clueless
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] closeone:
Thank you LiquidSolstice! That would be great. I'll go ahead and add that to the Mods (?) section of the thread! I'll also rehost it to take the burden off of your Dropbox. It was actually your thread where I got the idea from. :) You were (and are) in the credits. ;)

Humm... I figure that I could probably pry apart the weather widget APK from this ROM and have it call some other activity when someone taps the weather area of the widget (like the ability to set a location instead of having the user drag the widget up to the edit button to do that). This is a learning experience for me though. It seems to me though that I remember the pictures showing up only when the weather apk was there. Oh... I just don't know what to do here.

Thanks,

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] laie1472:
Cool thanks for the feedback. I just called it quits and used the tether app. Nevertheless thanks for the rom.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ssojyeti2:
If you need any help let me know
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] LiquidSolstice:
You're quite welcome. Seeing as your thread is likely to get many more views than my font thread, if you could rehost it, that would be fantastic :)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] klbjr:
Really liking the ROM so far. Great job! Just have a question. I flashed the JB Font that Liquid posted but now thinking I liked the original better. Anyway to get it back without having to reflash the ROM? I tried taking the font folder from the ROM zip and use it to replace the font folder from Liquid's JB one and rezip but keep getting errors in TWRP.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] LiquidSolstice:
Don't unzip and rezip. Just open the font flash zip directly inside your archive program.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] klbjr:
Ok I have both zips opened in 7zip. You're saying just drag over the font folder from the ROM to your zip and copy over it then reflash?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] LiquidSolstice:
That's precisely what I'd do.

You might have been making a very common mistake of archiving the files at the wrong directory level, which would explain why TWRP was spitting it out. However, opening them directly should avoid that problem. Once you do, be sure to rename my zip you know which is which!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] klbjr:
Ok. Gonna give that a try. If not I found out that the original font is Ubuntu and I found the .tff files. So I can just copy your zip format and make my own font zip correct?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] closeone:
One second. I'm sorry. I've been running all around the forums. I'll post a flashable based on Liquid's in a few. Thank you again LiquidSolstice.

~co~
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] LiquidSolstice:
Precisely. Just rename them to Roboto/Roboto-Bold etc before you put them in the zip. It's quite simple, and you'll find it's extremely satisfying to create your own font zips :).

One warning I'll give you; stay away from font faces that explicitly say that they are "Semibold". Android does not like Semibold font faces.

You're welcome, again. Take it easy ;)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ssojyeti2:
I made a few splash screens for the rom. Feel free to add them to the OP if you want:D

Click the images to download. Hope you like them. I do:p

Edit: Sorry for the giant pics lol
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] closeone:
Here is the Restore Zip. I believe everything should work as planned. Let me know.

ssojyeti2 - holy crud... THAT IS Awesome. One more second until I can wrap my head around that. Wow. :victory:
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] closeone:
Wow again. Those are so fricken cool! If that could be animated somehow, that would make a really, really cool boot/powerdown animation!

Thank you! :laugh:

~co~

Edit: Just flashed the first one. I keep on rebooting my phone!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] closeone:
Awesome! Thanks for the screenshot as well!

Thank you! :)

Thanks for answering that. I wasn't quite sure... and I had nobody around that would call me. :eek: Yes... That's how much I use my phone... as a phone.

Edit:

Thank you!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] osmosizzz:
just had a small question. can this ROM be themed like the others?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] volk9029:
Yes , it can .

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] JerryGNYC:
closeone - does the stock battery bar with no percentages in the updater have mik's QS in it?

Thanks,

-Jerry
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] closeone:
Jerry, the battery bar will apply to either of the two versions of the status bar. Simply download Mik's status bar from the MODs section. Then grab the battery bar you want (in this case, the one without percentages) and let the phone reboot into recovery to apply it.

Hopefully that made a shred of sense. ;)

~co~

Edit: Thanks for asking that as well. I had forgotten to add the users responsible for this little trick (theming by patching APKs) to the credits!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] JerryGNYC:
Perfect sense, cause I'm such a technogeek... :p Worked great, thanks!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] closeone:
Hello everyone.

I thought I might post a little note. First of all, I still want to hear your comments, questions, concerns, etc!

Secondly, the ROM was featured on Pocketables (Good and EVO) here. Very cool. Thank you! Thanks to my friends over at theMikMik for pointing it out to me. ;)

~co~
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] volk9029:
I am glad that you are getting some exposure :D. Your roms are always people oriented.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] KHoff:
The only issue I'm having is that the flashlight from the quicksettings menu stays on whenever I try to turn it off. I don't believe this is ROM specific though, as I saw others were having the same issue at themikmik.

Edit: Not a big deal, just thought I'd point it out... Still loving this ROM!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] closeone:
Thanks. That's what I try to do. ;)

Hmm.. I haven't been having this specific issue. Are you using the alternate QS from inside the updater? There are a few small issues with that come that one unfortunately.

Thanks,

~co~
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] StonePure:
Luvin it Luvin it! Thank you. You might have cured my flashing-ways ;)

I do miss the font style that is in ver.4a. Can you please tell me the name of that font and where I can find it?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] KHoff:
No, just the original quick settings menu. I forgot to mention that I'm on version five of this ROM still.

Don't want to clog up your thread with something that I'm fairly certain is not ROM specific though.

Thanks for all of your hard work CO! It's much appreciated :thumbup:
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] JerryGNYC:
On version Six, no flashlight issues noted with the user-modifiable QS, and downloaded battery icon set(s).
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] closeone:
I'm glad you like it.

The font style in v.4a is Ubuntu. But instead of telling you where to get it, and make it difficult for you to apply, I'll make a promise to you to put a flashable zip up in the updater later today. How's that? :)

Ah. You would have the older QS. I actually switched those two around in the new version 6 release. I'm not completely sure, especially since JerryGNYC below, is using it without any issues. Humm.. I apologize.

Thank you!

Double humm..

Thanks,

~co~
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] closeone:
StonePure - Check the updater. ;) I haven't tested it, but it should work fine.

If somebody on another ROM would like to use it, I've attached a copy of it here. ;)

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] xxRAMOTHxx:
Very good. My usage today was mainly wifi and I only had like 20 minutes of phone calls but still... 5 hours of screen on time? Just stupid... I'm still going and only down to 18%!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] StonePure:
Smiling@co.... I nan back to 4a to find out the font's name. Now I am still on it and enjoying, back to 6 tomorrow. You make an awesome product co! Thank you.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] osmosizzz:
Mi Madre! 5 Hours of screen on time? JEZAS! Great battery life. Im not having that much luck today but randomly yesterday I was about to get 16 hours with 4 hours screen on time XD

---------- Post added at 04:00 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:55 PM ----------

@closeone Thanks for the ROM again! I have been looking around and there has been many fixes for multitasking (I thought multitasking was great, apparently im not a great multitask-er). Will that be included in the next iteration of the ROM?

Is anyone else having like crackles when the beats preset is on? I get this both with Bluetooth headsets as well as wired headsets
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] chrisliphart:
I've seen other reports of the crackling, however, I listent to stuff a LOT on my bluetooth headphones (LG Tone) and haven't heard any crackling at all. The only thing I've noticed in regards to that is the notification sounds sound skippy or broken up sometimes when the headset's connected, but that was an issue I saw on stock too.

As to multitasking, Sense keeps 8 apps in memory to keep stuff smooth. I tried a ROM where that was unlocked, and I noticed a performance hit pretty quickly. Personally, I'm happy with the standard 8, and I would caution against running at unlimited, like some do. But that's just me. :)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] closeone:
Hi osmosizzz,

16 hours, with four of those being screen-on periods sounds pretty good to me. :) It really, of course depends on your usage (what your running, how good (or bad) your signal is. I like to recommend underclocking the phone a bit (My recommendation has been 1.2Ghz, but currently I'm running at 1GHz). It should save you a little bit of battery life (with little noticeable performance degradation).

On the multitasking front, I'm iffy on it at this moment. I'm currently running my phone with it to see how it's affecting battery life. Of course, I'm being a terrible tester because I'm running the phone with the multitasking modifications, and underclocking the phone. I'll set the clock speed back up again. I'm honestly thinking about making it optional... I'm just not sure.

On the Beats part... I can't say that I've heard a whole lot of crackling.. (some people are going to hate me for saying this) but I usually leave Beats off, and use a player with some decent manual EQ settings (PowerAmp... Even the free player jetAudio Basic isn't too bad)... it sounds so much better to me. But.. then again, this isn't about my opinion. ;) I know that I've read about other people complaining about crackling with Beats. I'm not sure what to say. I'm sorry.

Yup. Exactly. I wouldn't (and will not) do unlimited.. Android is not bad at handling tasks... Why manually do something that the phone already does pretty well by itself? Now... there's a chance I might look into the 16 (visible) app recent app list though.

Thanks,

~co~
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] misterwal10:
Your rom sounds awesome & i plan on installing it as soon as i get back from work, hopefully it will improve my battery life and reception (fingers crossed).

But my question is, i just unlocked and rooted my phone and i am still running on stock rom... are there any special installation instructions, didn't notice any in the OP?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] bravo1565:
If your unlocked and rooted then you should be fine make sure you have custom recovery
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] closeone:
Hi misterwal10. If you are on an HBOOT version higher than 1.12.x, you may need to load the kernel manually. I have yet to incorporate xHausx's kernel installer into my flashable ZIP (this just works around the issue so that the kernel can be loaded straight from the ZIP). You can however try the ROM without loading the kernel manually. FlashImageGUI will do this. Just load the file into the software (there are more in-depth instructions in the thread, including a link to a video on how to use it), flash the kernel from within Android, and then flash the ZIP as normal. Or you can load up your recovery from your computer. This happens to be another workaround, and flash the image that way.

Other than that, what bravo1565 said should be it.

Now. I can't say that it will improve battery life or reception (especially reception), but you may find a slight increase in battery life though. ;)

Thanks,

~co~
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jlechner:
Crackling usually occurs with a custom kernel. If you up the clock, it goes away.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] rodohmes:
Just surfed the EVOlte forums (it had been a while) and ran across this ROM. Read through almost every page, amazed at the friendliness of the OP. That alone is motivation enough to try this out! Been running another Sense ROM but was concerned with the very low amount of available memory (between 30-75mb). While setting things up realized that the Music Lover skin isn't available. Aesthetics is my only motivation for having it. Also, I got a little too excited using the updater app and accidentally installed the "volume buttons to wake device" but really only wanted the camera button wake. Any way to disable just the volume button wake function?

Really looking forward to diving into using this thing. Thanks to the OP for such a delightful forum!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] closeone:
Interesting. I'm not sure what to make of that. Thanks for the heads up.

Hi rodohmes,

Thank you for your kind words. I try to treat people with respect. I care very much about that. I don't have copies of the skins from the HTC Hub. If I can remember my HTC username and password, I'll see if I can possibly pull copies of them from there to place in the updater. I probably won't be able to do that tonight though.

On the other note, I've added a volume button restore mod into the updater for you. You can find it right underneith the Volume button wake mod. ;)

Thank you very much,

~co~
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] rodohmes:
Amazing. You're terrific.

No rush on the skin - Maybe I'll find something else I really like in the meantime. :) Loving everything so far!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] closeone:
Thanks rodohmes. I know that I said that I probably wouldn't be able to get it tonight, but I had a few free minutes. All of the HTC Hub skins are now in the updater for you to download. ;)

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] manaup:
Has zeppelinrox tweaks been added to the ROM? Also, does this rom have the screen on duo core on screen off single core on feature? I didn't see it in the OP.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] manaup:
CO,

I really like that you're totally up for providing us with a one bad azz rom. So far running it all morning. Running really good. I'm also running calne's tweaks kernel 2.13 so far so good no problems at all. I really enjoy the customiz-a-bility of the ROM. You're attitude is amongst the few I've seen and great. It would be nice if you can add more multitasking to the ROM.

---------- Post added at 07:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:44 PM ----------

Sorry I'm at work and couldn't finish the reading from Page 10. Is cd tools still a part of the ROM? If yes, where can I find it and does it work with this rom? Thanks.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] closeone:
Thanks. Looks good!

Very nice. You've got PowerAmp sitting right in the same spot I've got it too. Unnecessary extra information. Check. ;) By the way, I did see your comment on tMM.. I'll reply to it as soon as possible, but I can say that it is very interesting. :) Thank you.

Hi manaup. Currently, zeppelinrox's memory management has not been added. I'm experimenting with it myself because of battery concerns. It's looking like it might be okay, but I really should have someone (preferribly someone who has been running it for a while) who runs the ROM heavier than I do test it. I explain this a little more heavily here.

Thank you! I try to focus on keeping a positive experience inside my threads, as well as a unique, user-feedback-based experience inside the ROM. Thank you again.

Unfortunately no. It is no longer included in the ROM. There's a long story behind why that choice was made. I think it worked out for the better though.

~co~
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] manaup:
If you do include it in the ROM. Just running up to 8 (htc stock configuration) will be fine. Or 16 apps will be fine too. I have used zeppelinrox work and it works pretty good. Though I haven't tried his new update that allows the recent apps up to 16 instead of 8. I don't need unlimited processes running in the background. I think I'm a pretty heavy user, so multitasking is a must for me in the ROM I'm running. But I don't need unlimited apps running in the background.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] JerryGNYC:
Nah... not TMI, but GMTA! :silly:

And FWIW, though I haven't done any "scientific comparison" with/without the "mod", I think it's given me an increase in battery life, which has been excellent, regardless.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] manaup:
CO, will we see sense 4.5 camera anytime soon?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] manaup:
Never mind. I downloaded a rom with the sense 4.5 camera and then extracted it from there. Worked like a charm :)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] chrisliphart:
Google Now

So I know it can be done, and I know it's fairly easy (I did it on my OG EVO with mixed results), however, I also know there were a lot of different versions of the mod to get it going, so if anyone knows which is the newest/most reliable Google Now enabler that will work with this ROM, I'd love a link. :)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] closeone:
EEK. This is quite a bit of responses. Usually I can respond to all of them. It looks like I may not be able to today. Sorry.

I didn't think about that. I could add it to the updater. Is the shutter release working in more recent releases?

Hi metalmenance. Did you mean to post an image? If so, it looks like you used a private URL, and nobody can see it. You can confirm this by opening up an incognito tab and opening up this page.

Sorry for not being quicker.

Oh... I remember the one release of this ROM where I included Google Now. It wasn't very well received. Stability has improved, but I don't know about memory usage. The place to check would be in the Google Now for ICS thread for the time being.

~co~
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] manaup:
No worries bro. I learnt this a while back.. But, I forgot it because I've relied so much on you rom devs ;)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] rodohmes:
I'm actually REALLY happy that Google Now isn't the default here. It was on the previous ROM I was using and it didn't perform well at all and there wasn't an easy way to switch back to the older Google Search.

@closeone - speaking of all this, is there a way to add a mod to the updater that would allow a half press of the camera button to open said Google search?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] closeone:
rodohmes, sure. I'll see what I can do to get the half-press search camera mod in the updater today/soon. ;)

~co~

______

I should also note that I didn't learn this until yesterday, but Max from HTC EVO Hacks did a review of UR/EVO SIX. Thanks Max! You can see it here.

I will just say one thing. The ROM is a little more customizable than shown in the video (Really, a lot of it has to do with the included updater plus the fact that I'm always listening to community feedback), but with that said, I'm really glad to see the review!

I also don't want to discount the fact that wwjoshdew also did a first-look video (all the way back on R2). That one is linked in the OP. Thank you to him as well!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] SeroFred:
I like the Rom so far. Been using it as a DD all week. Batttery life is great. It is like stock, but without much bloat. Thanks for this nice Rom!

Btw, I have not found any bugs or anything to complain about at all.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] closeone:
Thanks SeroFred! I'm happy that you have been enjoying it. :)

~co~

By the way, rodohmes, check the updater. ;)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] rodohmes:
You are really, really fast. (This thread reminds me of tommytomatoe's Classic ROM thread for the OG Evo - super fast and kind responses by the dev).

The half press search mod works great, but I noticed it broke the camera button wake mod. I'm gonna reapply that mod, reboot & report back.

EDIT: Yeah, it looks like only one of those two mods is working at once. Really just want you to know, because I'm content with camera button wake by itself if it has to be that way.

My battery life has been incredible and everything is so fluid that I feel terribly demanding - so I apologize. :)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] closeone:
Yeah. TT is a cool guy. Have yet to talk with him, but I do know. :)

The reason you can only have one of the mods at a time is because it replaces the entire file. But if you check the updater now, you will find a modification that has both features. ;)

Not a problem. No need to apologize. I'll certainly try to make it right if I have a little free time, and know how to fix the issue.

Thanks,

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] chrisliphart:
Sorry it took me so long to get back, but that link to the Google Now post was exactly what I was looking for. I knew I'd seen it somewhere before. As to GN itself, no, I wouldn't want it in by default. It's still just a bit too buggy on ICS (no surprise there, as it's a core feature of JB), but there are some features on it that I personally like and use. Thanks for that link, man.

And good lord, you have to be the fasted ROM dev out there for response time on features. I know a huge part of that is the Updater (god I love that thing!), but man, you're blazing when it comes to request responses! I'm totally blown away everytime I jump on and see how fast you've turned around on a request. I'd say keep it up, but it'll burn you out at the rate you go! ;)
