I am using Thai's Rom, its really stable and fast - here is the link ; http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1264023

Don't try those CM10 in my opinion they are not stable yet, i think we should give it little bit of time for the developers.

A favor please??

Hey guys. I am going to try and make a recovery that works 100% fully for everyone. I see a few people have issues and others don't. I try and fix it. Need some help. I don't have this phone so I need a few files before I can get started. If anyone could get me 3 things

If anyone knows how to do a dump_image the stock recovery.img for me.

Post the file /proc/partitions

Post the file /proc/mounts

For the 2 and 3. You can also do an adb commands. "adb shell" then "cat /proc/partitions" and "cat /proc/mounts"

Thank You Guys! and if everything goes well. I can port over CWM Touch.

Here's items 2 and 3. I just got my DNA so I haven't unlocked yet, and I don't know of a way to dump the recovery without unlock, but I'll post it as soon as I can.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Joey121215:
Does anyone remember this from the OG EVO and the EVO 3D? I used to love having this mod on those phones. It allowed you to change the colors of the icons in the status bar, set a transparency for the status bar and notification panel, change which buttons wake the phone, set how dim the capacitive lights were, change and reorganize the quick settings, make the quick settings appear horizontally in the notification panel, change the recent apps style between Windows, sense, and aosp, and have sliding on the status bar work as a brightness slider. I think there were more options, I just can't remember.

Can someone please make this for our phones though? It was a universal flash, I believe it was mainly just modifications to system UI apk. I think it would be awesome to have again and I think most people would agree

Here's the link to the 3D tweaks: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1638459

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Cloaker:
Leedroid tweaks. Those were the ****. Venom tweaks is similar, but that only works on Viper ics I think.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Siya Nová:
Team Venom is soon to release the Jelly Bean version of Viper, these tweaks you speak of will be implemented into Viper 3.0 my friend.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Joey121215:
Yeah, would just rather not be thethered to one ROM
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Siya Nová:
Well, idk what to tell ya lol, if these tweaks were a flashable zip it would make all the Roms boring and the same. If this were the case EVERY developer would have and use the tweaks and you would be tethered to the basically the same Rom on the same base with different names and different problems. Only difference between them would be themes and, small scripts & speed tweaks here and there. :rolleyes:
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Joey121215:
Uhh, no? All the ROMs would have the same things that make them unique. . . Without the mod most ROMs don't have any differences with status bar, pull down, and recent apps anyway. . . It worked just fine on the 3D with those tweaks where there were plenty of differences between the different sense based ROMs
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Cuppeerr:
Venom tweaks are leedroid tweaks. They worked with leedroid to build them and they are going to be totally exclusive to that rom:( it sucks imo because I love meanrom, so on my 3d I used to be able to have both, but now I have to choose... And I chose meanrom
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Joey121215:
Same problem. That's why I'm trying to get a thread and bounty together to get another dev interested in making a public flashable zip.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] scottspa74:
Your first 2 sentences here answer your own question.

Edit: actually your first sentence there contradicts itself. "All the ROMs would have the same thing that makes them unique". Gibberish. 'Without the mod, most ROMs are the same'. Yes, that's the response and justification that was already afforded you.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Joey121215:
No? That's not what I said. The difference between meanbean and stock with goodies would still be there with the mod added. The parts that make each ROM unique would remain, the only thing that would change IF someone decides to flash the mod is there would be some extra customization options. You are the one saying that all ROMs are the same, not me. Each individual ROM will still be as unique with the mod as it was without the mod. . .
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Deathsnuggle:
I miss the tweaks app, hell I'm in for the bounty.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Joey121215:
How much you in for?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] evo bryan:
Well there are 2 roms with ics that have a tweaks app and the devs on them don't want everyone kanging them. on a realistic side with all the tweaks in the newist Rom it would be difficult to make a flashible zip that works. On the 3d I ported it over to clean Rom and it took many hours getting every thing working
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] nitsuj17:
Actually that's completely wrong, but good job spreading false information

Jan and monarx made leedroid tweaks for the leedroid rom, lee had almost nothing to do with it

And if you compare the features between what's in venom tweaks and last version of leedroid tweaks, its a huge difference

Regardless this doesn't belong in development
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] LiquidSolstice:
It's ridiculous that you would put this in Development, and even more ridiculous as to what you're asking.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Riff76:
Donate to team venom. Devs on other sites will then kang the tweaks so you Will still get them on other roms
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] nickmus:
Papa smurf said he may be doing a version of smurffed out tweaks for our phone. Its in the new mod thread. A little more encouragement my get him on it.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Joey121215:
How is this a ridiculous request? It was a very loved mod on another device and I think it'd be loved on this device. Also where would you recommend posting a mod request? QA where developers don't really check? General which it's not at all? Themes and apps when it's not a theme or app? Or development when it's a development request?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Joey121215:
If that were true why would other developers not have done this on ICS? Also the venom tweaks aren't all the same
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] evo bryan:
people did on ics, charged for it in the playstore and yes this should be in the theme section
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] LiquidSolstice:
That's absolutely wonderful that you think it would be loved on this device. Ignoring the fact that again, it is not as simple as you just wanting it and creating a bounty (for an OTA--not even an RUU-- of a ROM that literally only came to us 2 days ago) for "Tweaks", let's go over XDA 101. Answer the following question:

If you answered "B.", you need to do some studying.

You did not develop anything. Your thread starter is not related to development in any way whatsoever. It is a sentimental "Wouldn't this be cool" request that you've placed here knowing it's not where it's supposed to go and even claiming that no one ever really checks General.

Ignoring the fact that your claim is completely untrue, there are plenty of people who have been in the position you are concerning requests and a bounty, and they did not seem to have any trouble finding and posting it in the General section. Remember S-OFF for the newer HBOOTs? That was discussed and bountied to death in General. Why do you think your idea should be any different?

As I said before, this thread is ridiculous and should not be here.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] -viperboy-:
Correct, thank you sir.

Thank you again, this is why we don't share then because then every ROM will have tweaks. No one will contribute, only update tweaks when we do.

That won't happen. No one is allowed to redistribute out software. If you want tweaks, donate to monarx so he can get a JB phone and get coding. Then, learn to decompile and work with smali and port tweaks to whatever ROM you want for personal use.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Riff76:
Wow dude you're ignorant. True, fact. Several threads were closed because tweaks were kanged. Then the same people made new roms that had the tweaks as an after Rom flash add on. Those threads closed as well.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] .Gibson.:
By this mentality why share APM, 1X/3G, or MMS over WiFi mods? All it does is make all the roms the same. Why share anything? Each dev that puts any time into a mod should just hold onto it for their rom to keep it unique.

Close thread.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mrlakadaddy:
Please close thread
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] -viperboy-:
Those are one or a couple line edits. Not thousands of hours and thousands of lines of original smali. That's why.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] LiquidSolstice:
You are comparing the 1x/3G tweak to a tool that has thousands of hours spent on it, adapts for multiple changes (that can conflict with eachother) and has some features which can even be applied instantly?

The Tweaks packages are to Sense what AOKP ROM Control and CM Settings are to AOSP. They are incredibly complex and multilayered. Tweaks for Sense has a history of being abused by many people, if the original authors are not interested in sharing, there's really nothing you can do about it.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] nitsuj17:
jan and mon used to make a "public" tweaks package that was 1 or 2 revisions behind their own tweaks packages, that were available to other developers provided a) they pm-ed and asked for permission b) didn't update the tweaks package along with the rom (pkmn at the time) c) credited properly and didnt remove the original credits section from the tweaks gui app

some people did follow these requirements (before joining team venom, i did), while the vast majority didnt...or took jan not responding to their pm for permission within 5 hours as implicit permission to use it :eek:

the number of "devs" completely disregarding the requirements for usage grew quickly, and it was at that point, the frustrated authors of the app and mods pulled the public versions

unfortunately, this too was disregarded and lead to the...well im not gonna rehash the nameless app from the no longer permitted on xda group...yeah
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Cuppeerr:
Btw I mean to say Jan not lee, thanks for the correction:)

Jan is one of the lead developers on the Viper 4G team. And yeah I compared them with OG leedroid tweaks and quite a lot of the tweaks are the exact same.

Also look here directly from the Rom page Jan and M0narx are in the credits, and Jan is listed as one of the lead people of the Viper 4G team. So please sir, get your facts right.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] .Gibson.:
Thousands of hours are put into cm source for this device and that's up for grabs to anyone. We would have zero aosp variety if the 2 people responsible kept it for themselves. I'm not even trying to argue about that though and the owner can do what he/she wants. My only argument was against the post saying none of the roms would be unique then even though everyone borrows everything else from each other. Thought that was the point of these forums. To learn from each other to make something you can be proud of, not win an award for most unique rom or most popular rom/mod.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] nitsuj17:
being that im in team venom, i know who is who...but thanks for trying to appear smart

you brought up leedroid as somehow having been one of the people behind leedroid tweaks, when in reality, his name being attached to it was just about his sole contribution

many of the tweaks are the same..sure....and dozens of them are brand new since mon and jan stopped doing leedroid tweaks, including all the venom hub and theming stuff, and more

one of my previous posts explained why they arent shared anymore (or werent under xda's old sharing policy) and with xda's current sharing policy its not possible

unless venom roms wanted to be kanged repeatedly across all sense devices, which no one on the team wants

i still dont understand why this thread is still open

its pointless and is just leading to ridiculous bickering from the uninformed
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Cuppeerr:
Yeah I did bring up leedroid, but as my other post said I meant Jan, simple confusion.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] -viperboy-:
And do you understand how much easier it is to develop when you have full source vs working with smali? I don't think you do.

Also, to use your AOSP example, that gives everyone a starting base, just like Sense is our starting base. AOSP spawned things like CM, AOSP, PA, etc. Each ROM has something unique to it. Tweaks is our uniqueness. The other major difference is that many of these "devs" are just winzip devs. It's not hard to rip things out of an already working ROM on the same device vs having to write code, merge commits, compile their build, etc.

This thread is pointless because, as stated numerous times, we don't plan to share our work for the reasons we have already stated. Threads like this don't encourage us to ever change that, in fact, quite the opposite. If anything changes, you will all know.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Deathsnuggle:
I understand devs don't want people stealing their hard work. What happened to the good days when all devs asked for was a mention of their name or a donation? What happened to make everybody so against sharing?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] -viperboy-:
What happened to the good old days when users we nowhere near as self entitled as they are now?

It was already stated. People not following rules that asked them to wait a little bit before including them, not asking for permission, not giving credit. Enough was enough. Yet again, this conversation isn't going anywhere.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Deathsnuggle:
Alright I get it. But look at where we are now, nobody can do anything without somebody claiming it stolen. Don't you think this has gotten a bit out of hand?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] LiquidSolstice:
If no one has stolen something, there is nothing to worry about. If someone wants to build tweaks from the ground up themselves, nothing is stopping them and I can promise you (provided there is no obviously copied code) viper and the rest of the team would not have the slightest issue with it.

Nothing has gotten out of hand, there is no need to claim that it has.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mrlakadaddy:
And, if you want tweaks so badly, build them yourself..just don't be mad if someone kangs them on their own and puts them in the playstore..like what happened to jans original tweaks..or share something yourself...why don't you go develop?

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Joey121215:
1. If I knew how to develop, I would not ask for donations or care about credit and no one would be about to kang me when I gave out my work for free. Don't go saying "well that's great in theory" or something along those lines, because I already spend countless hours doing work for free for other for no credit and seeing others enjoy that work is a much better reward than being petty and not sharing.

2. I would develop, but I don't have the time or energy to learn how to code and I don't feel like dealing with the politics of this site. I miss the old days where this was a community and everyone helped each other out. Everyone here now is more concerned with being the most recognised dev or supporting who they think is the best, most original dev. You've gone from a community to a public pissing contest in about a year. Seriously zip up boys and go back to kindergarten to learn what sharing is. If you don't like sharing work, get an iPhone. You all seem to think you're so much better than Apple because you have android, but nearly everyone on this site acts just like them, in a couple cases even down to the lawsuits.

3. I WAS NOT ASKING FOR AN EFFING KANG. I was looking to get brand new development started, from the ground up, of a new public tweaks app. I was just trying to show developers who m know what they're doing that there is a demand and that there are people willing to pay for the product. I don't know where I said, "hey even though I know you all hang on to some devs word like it's the Gospel, I don't like those devs so go kang the crap out of them and give me the stuff for free" No, that's not what I wanted, I was just trying to start a bounty to pay for someone to work on this from the ground up.

4. Don't compare a s-off bounty to a mod bounty, s-off would be worked on no matter what. You're comparing spree apples to filet mignon. I'd like to know when the last time a developer went into the qa or general thread and actually did a request in there. If you're so tired of people posting on the wrong section for stuff like this, why don't you start a new section for requests only for developers to go look in. I've posted requests before in different sections and they quickly get buried by people posting in other threads while having there pushing contests or saying thanks a hundred and I've times.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mrlakadaddy:
Calm down, sheesh, no one was talking to or about you so don't take it personal, just commenting to other members in this discussion if you don't mind..:beer::beer::what:
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Deathsnuggle:
What about coredroid tweaks? Did they actually steal code or are the tweaks just similar?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] LiquidSolstice:
Alright, gloves are off; I was being pretty damn nice considering how little you understand about what you are asking, but now I'll just be brutal.

If you aren't planning on developing anything, keep your threads out of the goddamn developer's section. Simple enough to understand, right?

1. No one accused you of asking for a kang (but if that's what you wanted to read...). viperboy was explaining to you why the code is not available to anyone else to "port", and that's because of the kanging. Understand the difference.

2. Don't ever claim that people are planning to "pay for a product" on XDA. Android development is NOT commerce and has strictly and traditionally never been. The mere use of that phrase is enough to ward off any developer who might have been interested, because with few exceptions, our developers have honor and are not attracted to a goal because of the potential of money, they are attracted to the goal for the sake of completing it.

3. That's a lot of words to use when all you needed to say was "I want this mod, can someone make it happen.". That was your question which you posted in the developer's section. Rocket science?

So, you've just taken a steaming dump on one of two projects that require a ton of code. Which is it? Do you think S-OFF was easy to attain? Or do you think that the Tweaks will be easy to attain? Knock knock. NEITHER ARE EASY. One could almost argue that S-OFF was simpler to do, because Tweaks involves on-the-fly edits that have the potential to train-wreck when combined with eachother, but through thousands of hours of testing and debugging and frustrations, they made it happen anyway.

The fact that you think either of those two projects is lesser than the other is borderline disgusting and disrespectful. The hole you're currently in right now? You're making it ridiculously deep.

Then it seems you were incorrect about your assumption/strategy; if such posts quickly get buried by other posts, it is clear there is not enough "demand" for what you ask and you should either do it yourself or just give up.

I don't like being a dickhead, but you're not getting the point. You screwed up. YOu posted in the wrong spot asking for something to be developed when you don't know the complications behind it and you're assuming that getting a couple users to throw money at the problem will fix it.

This is the part where we both let go of it. I will let go of it because it's obvious that it is greatly annoying me and I have better ways of spending my Sunday afternoon. You let go of it because you realize (however bluntly informed you have just been) that you made a mistake and you did not know the whole thing.

Easy?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] -viperboy-:
They wrote their own app, that's the easy part. What they took was our thousands of framework edits. They decompiled our work, changed some variable names, moved some methods around to try to hide it, and then profit off of our work with a paid for app.

I don't see where any of that is right. Xda looked into it, hence why CDST is banned. Hope that clears things up.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] xHausx:
Bounty threads of any type go against what with this community stands for. If you're not helping develop anything then please don't post in the development section, and if you want to hire a developer then you'll need to go elsewhere.

As far as rooting, the qemu automated root in the developer section for the hd version will work for this system version. If you happen to update at some point to newer version a different root method is needed., but for now that will work.

Sounds like it is a driver issue.

Try this driver installing this driver, make sure the device is unplugged when you install, then reboot your computer:

https://docs.google.com/folder/d/0B4lZEJI5lYeMdnFHeVRMQUtRYWc/edit

It should show up in device manager as composite android adb interface

If that does not work follow the directions in this link to install sdk with kindle add-ons:

https://developer.amazon.com/sdk/fire/connect-adb.html

As for the apps from amazon, you'll just have to install play store and forget about amazon apps.

Hope this helps
