enom,

Tried this three times with the same results, boot loop at android screen. When this happens I have to remove battery and re-flash rom. Guess I'm not gonna be able to have a theme dam it! (JK) :D Maybe the rom or theme needs more tweaking.:rolleyes: Also, while I have your attention and I've read you don't like messing with these Official Roms, but do you think it might be possible to put the camera zoom in? This is one feature that I think alot of us users like. I for one really like it because I can't always get close to what I'm taking a picture of. Thanks again for your time and got paid today so 12 pack of beer coming your way as promised!

My Bad, just reflashed again and it's fixed. :)
[G1 Android Development] enomther:
Hi Clint,

I could be wrong, but from the sounds of your description. It might be possible that you are running the "TheOfficial TMO" builds? (and not TheOfficial Rogers).

(2) reasons, (1) the boot/startup of the rogers displays HTC not ANDROID, and (2) the Rogers has a Zoom function in the Camera.

Do me a favor and perform the following in the TerminalApp ...

su
expsetup

Perform option #8 to generate a log for me. This will save a log file named something like ep_log_XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX.log on your sdcard. Email me this file, so I can take a look.

Also, just in case I may be right ...

The TMO builds are here ... http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=538456

Let me know.

~enom~
[G1 Android Development] enomther:
Yea, custom_v7 a little later, as far as 1.8.5 ... v1.8.x is now closed :) ... so perhaps v1.9.x ... but till then I'll post up a procedure to get you the keyboard installed.

Glad you got it workin' ;)

[G1 Android Development] SG_Shadow:
Very nice job. Works perfectly. Excellent job with the HERO theme. This will get me by until blue tooth is fixed with HERO ROMs.

default browser

I'm running 1.8.4, and I love it. Only problem is I'd like to switch to the default browser at times. The "Better Browser" doesn't work with the Bank Of America App. Is there an easy way to do this?

I saw an earlier post where Enom talked about using expsetup option 13. But I think that was for an earlier build, since option 13 in expsetup seems to do something different now.

Is there a way to do this on 1.8.4?

Thanks,

-joel
[G1 Android Development] enomther:
Hey joel,

Yea I removed the ability to get/download resources from expsetup. But, there's 2 options here ..

(1) If you're good w/adb or want to type some manual commands in recovery, I could post the original browser and give you the commands ... or ...

(2) You could download "steel" from the market and see if that will allow your BoA app to work properly.

I'd try option 2 first, as this will give you the "optional" browser when needed. Not sure if it will work, but it's worth a shot.

Let me know.

~enom~
[G1 Android Development] ehudokai:
Hey enom,

I'm good with adb. Use adb shell when my thumbs get tired :). Is it just a simple adb install? Or do I have to rwsystem and add it to the /system/app dir?

Looks like steel just adds pretty stuff around the existing browser. So I need to get the original browser. In case you're curious a site that will show if its working is http://www.bofa.mobi

Thanks man!

-joel
[G1 Android Development] enomther:
Hey joel,

On the road right now, i'll post up adb instructions in like an hour.

~enom~
[G1 Android Development] enomther:
Hey joel,

Attached is orig_rogers_Browser.zip.

Download it and rename it to Browser.apk and copy to your sdcard, etc.

Not sure if you can do this live on the phone, it's always a better idea to install in recovery IMHO.

But you could try this in the terminal app and/or adb .. and perform something like the following ...

su
rwsystem
cd /system/app
rm Browser.apk
rm Browser.odex
install /sdcard/Browser.apk /system/app
rosystem
exit
exit

A reboot may be in order as well after that. ;)

Theme updates

Hi all,

Theme updates ...

TheOfficial HERO Rogers Theme is upgraded to v3.3, which now includes a themed Dialer & MailApp.

Zalgo's Custom v7 Theme for TheOfficial Rogers has been added as well.

Still more on the way.

~enom~
[G1 Android Development] grandtorino:
customv7 is cool :D

Yo bro!

The customv7 is pretty cool theme. I think I still like the hero theme more. Any chance we can get that invis background from customv7 on the hero theme?

Thanks! :D
[G1 Android Development] nabzilla1990:
i must say this rogers build is extremely fast love it just wish it had the power widget from cyan but i know thats impossible one thing though the rogers apps are on here still also have you thought about adding a theme template more specifically a template with white text that would be really cool lovin this build one thing i really like is the mail app
[G1 Android Development] bfikkert:
Themes

Will all the themes still work ??
[G1 Android Development] enomther:
Hi bfikkert,

The theme from the TMO and ADP US/EU builds will not work.

All themes are specific to their particular builds.

Themes will begin being ported to the Rogers over the next week or so.

~enom~
[G1 Android Development] bfikkert:
Thx for quick reactie. Rom runs verry fast and stable.

I have one issue. No APN's in the list after install.

Is there a way to put a big apn list all in once and not have to do this all by hand.

I travel a lot in europe so I need lots off APN's

I will donate. Keep up the good work.

Thkx.
[G1 Android Development] enomther:
Yup,

I'm releasing v1.7.3 today. Which will have a much bigger APN list in it. My apologies for that, as whats in there is the default rogers junk. So look for v1.7.3 in the couple hours.

~enom~
[G1 Android Development] ebg10:
will all the Rogers store apps be removed in the next version?
[G1 Android Development] wdelisi:
I can PM you a script I wrote to remove these if they are still there in 1.7.3. :)
[G1 Android Development] enomther:
v1.7.3 released

For now, I'm leaving the annoying Rogers store apps. They are easily removed.

v1.7.3 POSTED.

- Updated APN List

- Added more Language support

Thanks to KB7SQI for helpin out.

~enom~
[G1 Android Development] wdelisi:
GREAT rom enomther!! Super fast and STABLE!! I have been NEEDING Exchange Calendar sync, and now I have it in an auto running a2sd rom. Perfect! Thanks!
[G1 Android Development] sleepymonk:
so if i want to manual remover the roger icons from the phone do i use this comaand in adb

adb shell rm -r

or should i shut up and leave it to the professionals
[G1 Android Development] enomther:
Welcome, thanks for the feedback.

Hi sleepymonk,

lol@profressionals comment! That's funny.

You can do it in the TerminalApp, open it up and enter the following commands ...

su
rwsystem
rm /system/app/Rogers*
rosystem
exit
exit

That should do it. You may need to reboot afterwards.

~enom~
[G1 Android Development] jmonty10:
I like the ROM. Very smooth. Is anyone else having a problem sending MMS? I'm on t-mobile US and have set the APN like in a previous post. I have full internet and can receive mms fine, but it just times out when trying to send. I also tried updating to. 1.7.3 to see if the loaded APN's would fix the issue, but there weren't any new APN's.
[G1 Android Development] enomther:
Hmmm,

additional APN's should be present, I tripled checked. As far as MMS, you can try rgv151's.

Goto terminalapp and run

su
expsetup

Do option #13, and then option #3. It will download the MMS app and make it update.zip on your sdcard. You'll need to flash it in recovery.

Give that a shot.

~enom~
[G1 Android Development] mrjay:
hey enomther very nice ROM. love the apps2sd part :).

only one thing missing tho'.. a theme :). do you know how to port a theme from another ROM? will be great. Thanks
[G1 Android Development] enomther:
Hi mrjay,

Themes will be coming soon. I will begin porting these after I finish helping out some users in the sapphire forum with a "BLUR" kernel issue they are trying to isolate with certain ROM's (not mine). We're getting close on that front.

So themes soon! But in general, not that difficult to port, just takes some time is all. We'll get some soon.

~enom~
[G1 Android Development] mrjay:
that sounds awesome man. thanks a lot and looking forward.
[G1 Android Development] jmonty10:
I ended up doing a wipe and fresh install and that fixed the mms issue. Thanks, and once again nice ROM.
[G1 Android Development] grandtorino:
so exchange?

Cool bro!

So is the only difference exchange? :D
[G1 Android Development] enomther:
Yes,

For the most part, the basic difference is exchange. I assume you mean from the TMO/ADP builds.

Also some other things you get ...

HTC Framework

HTC Dialer (search as you type)

HTC Camera (Zoom in/out)

Teeter (LOL)

Some other junk.

But still my build style. ;)

~enom~
[G1 Android Development] grandtorino:
trying it :D

Sounds cool man I'm going to try it out!

[G1 Android Development] enomther:
Hi grandtorino,

What do you mean by invis background ? Are you referring to the IME or perhaps the dropdown from the statusbar?

~enom~
[G1 Android Development] enomther:
Update here, ... next release will have these transitions. ;)

~enom~
[G1 Android Development] venkatarc1982:
Great

Great to hear that! I think the ROM will rock more with the Hero kind of transitions and with the potential that it has got now. Any tentative dates on the new release?

[G1 Android Development] skootah:
Good hello Enomther again. Intsall of 18.4 is well. So does this means you r decision to make ROM no more ? I do hope not and that you can continued.
[G1 Android Development] enomther:
LOL ... yea ... I'm sure there's a gray area or 2 somewhere in there ;)

Hi skootah,

Not sure just yet. In a holding pattern for the moment. Not really sure what to make of all of these events.

Don't really wanna say one way or another atm. Seems to me, that we're all subject to same rules and regulations here, regardless. So I dunno ... but it's a sad state of affairs :( , to continue means potentially facing off with Google and receiving a glorious C&D. Who really knows how far they'll go.

~enom~
[G1 Android Development] Thad04@hotmail.com:
Wow, has this issue got me fired up. Just when I thought someone finally got it right, and was gonna treat me with respect as a customer. Enom - any chance u can continue dev'g w/o the closed source apps installed? We would just have to pull them from our stock ROM, THAT WE PAID FOR (hello Google - are you listening???), and push them back to the mod.
[G1 Android Development] enomther:
Hi Thad04,

Yea, it's a frustrating situation. None the less, I'm just gonna let it play out for a bit. We'll see what happens.

<< Can't say what I'll do, one way or another yet! >>

~enom~
[G1 Android Development] Thad04@hotmail.com:
Understood. Thanks for all your hard work. Hopefully this will blow over.
[G1 Android Development] grandtorino:
Dont quit now bro! :D

Hey bro! Dizamm Google!

Donation on the way. For your hardwork and troubles. :D

And BTW I was talking about the IME background in my other post bro!
[G1 Android Development] enomther:
Not quiting ... just allowing "time to pass" ... shed light on the general movement of the community is all.

As far as the IME ... you could pull the HTC_IME.apk out of the customv7 theme and manually push it to your HERO themed build. ;)

~enom~
[G1 Android Development] Gee1:
enom,

you were right! i had the wrong rom but now i have the official/Rogers rom. i tried to install both themes, hero and glossblack, to no avail. i tried it like you suggested, in recovery with cyan & jf 1.4, install any zip. when i did this it would install but i lost all my contacts and would not re-sync to get them back. oh well! also my donation has been sent and hope it's enough to cover a 12 pack for you. thanks agian for everything!

clint :D
[G1 Android Development] enomther:
Hey Clint,

Alright man, I'm gonna need to see a log file. If you could do the following in the TerminalApp ...

su
expsetup

Then select option #8. This will create an ep_log_XXXXXXXXXXXXXX.log file on your sdcard. Email that to me so I can take a look/troubleshoot it.

[G1 Android Development] enomther:
Hi chris6551,

can someone tell me how to remove the wifi tether app. because I don't use it and my data plan is limited.
[G1 Android Development] enomther:
Hi iboomabstic,

Open up the TerminalApp and perform the following ...

su

cd /system/app
rm signed_andTether_1_52.apk
cd /system/sd/expstick/vsapps
rm signed_andTether_1_52.apk

That should do it! Thanks for the feedback also!

~enom~
[G1 Android Development] enomther:
Also, ... as far as the terminal ...

On the MT3G ... you'll need to download "Better Terminal Emulator for Magic" from the Market. This will enable you to perform terminal activities with the onscreen keyboard.

[G1 Android Development] grandtorino:
IME push :D

Yo bro!

So i got the HTC_IME.apk file the custv7 theme, thatls the right file right?

What do you mean by push it? Can't i just copy it somewhere on my phone?

Thanks again bro! :D
[G1 Android Development] enomther:
Hey grand,

By push, I meant using adb to push the files to the phone (same as copying really). If you're not good w/adb ... then you can use the recovery terminal. Copy the HTC_IME.apk from the custom-v7 theme to your sdcard.

Boot into recovery and perform (Alt+x) to enter the console, press <ENTER> to get the '#' prompt and perform the following ...

mount /system
mount /sdcard
cp /sdcard/HTC_IME.apk /system/app
umount /sdcard
umount /system
reboot

That should do it!

[G1 Android Development] anonymoustom:
A possible issue with the v7 theme.

After installing the theme, apps would stay running in the background. Performance would get extremely horrible so I went into TasKiller to find every single app that I had opened since reboot (and some that I know should have shutdown on their own eg: voice dialer, google location) still running in the background. After killing most of them manually, I would run into the same issue an hour later.

I have wiped and reinstalled the ROM from scratch. Leaving it stock, the issue has not come back. Anyone else run into this or is it just my bad luck?

Thanks,

Tom
[G1 Android Development] anonymoustom:
Sorry, one other question. I read in another thread

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=547752

that LinuxSwap is generally faster then Compcache. Why do you enable it by default instead of using LinuxSwap?

Thanks,

[G1 Android Development] venkatarc1982:
Same issue with me as well. Went back to 1.8.4 with no theme.
[G1 Android Development] enomther:
Hi Tom,

As for that post ... I'm getting "SICK OF IT" ....

Basically, the OP, went on to conduct further tests ... but failed to update the original post in the thread .... Check this ...

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=4337228&postcount=34

34 posts in ... he gets different results ... I follow up with comment on post #35 (as you'll see).

Unfortunately ... this pinetreehater (lol) ... didn't seem to care to update the OP with the appropriate results. The bottomline of the testing was ... compcache was a "hair faster" ... w/the added benefit of not hammering your sdcard.

These are my experiences as well, through my thorough testing.

This is also why the other devs turn it on by default also (unless their kernels don't support it). Most notably are HERO ROM's (but whatev).

As far as the "theme slowdown" issue, I'll look into it. No1 else had reported this w/ the HERO or GlossSuite, perhaps (since now 2 post about custom v7, there's an issue). I will look into it.

[G1 Android Development] anonymoustom:

About the running progs.

After a clean install (wiped everything!) all I have done is setup Exchange and installed taskiller from Terminal line.

After a reboot I have com.google.android.apps.maps:FriendService, PC Synchronization, Voice Dialer, Market, Touch Input, Calendar, Messaging and Mail. That seems like an awful lot to me. Touch Input, Calendar (I use the widget) and Mail I understand, even Messaging perhaps, is there someway I can stop the other progs from running at startup?

Awesome ROM BTW. I really hope you and the other devs are able to keep up the good work despite Google. :(
[G1 Android Development] enomther:
The only way to guarantee various apps will never run, is to remove them.

Also, in my experience various apps load when the phone first boots. But typically they exit out, after performing some initial tasks. And usually I have no need to go in and manually kill them via TaskManager and the like.

So usually, I'll see "a ton" of apps load at initial boot. But if I do absolutely nothing ... usually within 4-5 mins, most stop running on their own and the ones that don't are usually system critical and/or a "service-type" of app that your installed from the market.

Hope that helps.

hey enom...

sorry for being off for some days, but i´ve been really busy :(

but now i have to thank you for your work... again!

u made my favorite theme working with my favorite rom!!!

wow! great!

i´ve been using it for three days, and have to say... the other guys are right. there is something wrong with it :(

it is not that critical for me, but using the the theme makes my memory vanish... sort of!

after killing all apps using taskiller i usually have bout 32 - 35 mb ram...

if i´m using the v7 there is just about 25 - 28 mb free!:confused:

so thank u for ur work, but for now i´m back on stock, what is no prob at all :D

regards

chuckbert

p.s.

any news on the stock keyboard?:cool:
[G1 Android Development] axlastro:
5 screen Launcher?

Hi. I was wondering if the launcher could be hacked to use 5 screens. I really hate the advanced launcher - force closes, memory hog and much slower than the stock Launcher in the rogers rom. At least for me... Maybe for the next release you could think of something? Thanks. I'm on that rom for more than a month and I can't seem to find a "stable-r"&faster one.
[G1 Android Development] enomther:
Hey chuckbert (and ALL) ...

Yea a memory leak has been spotted in the customv7 theme, my apologies.

[G1 Android Development] enomther:
Hi dashed,

I have no idea about the "lag" you are experiencing. no1 else has complained about it ... and I use the Rogers myself, I haven't witnessed anything in that regard.

I mean it sounds like you've performed all the steps I'd typically recommend. So am kinda at a loss here.

Only other thing I could even remotely think of would be perhaps .. an app running in the background being a hog ... also ... are you running un-themed? ... as a few complained about lag and resource hogging w/ the customv7 theme, which I pulled b/c I spotted a "potential" problem.

Let me know.
