[EVO 4G Android Development] pseudo_nomen:
Having taken a second look at your screen shots, I noticed you were using Launcher Pro (my preferred launcher as well).

Unfortunately, that lead to finding the answer to this issue sooner than expected, which isn't necessarily good. It seems this is a launcher pro issue where as long as it detects the presence of a status bar, it chops off rendering of static wallpapers, whether they are transparent or not.

Read more (not much unfortunately) at the launcher pro forum here:

http://www.launcherpro.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=1870&start=20#p19029

A potential workaround might be to set a swipe gesture action for a couple of your dock icons to show/hide the status bar; might give the desired effect.

Just curious does this rom have the new sprint OTA update that was released today thank you
[EVO 4G Android Development] datajosh:
So apparently when you get enough apps installed you can fill up the dalvik cache to where it gets too big for the cache partition! I had to delete the script and move it back to /data today :(
[EVO 4G Android Development] luckylui:
Yes it does, plus it has the nexus one port implemented into the rom

so its 2.2.1 :)

Anyone experiencing weird issues should try a different kernel. I was having issues with widgets I download not showing up in the list of available widgets until I reboot. Things were also a little choppy when scrolling. Switched back to kingklick #6 (old reliable) and all is well. Great Rom!

Darktremors app2sd help

Calk, this is absolutely THE PERFECT BEST ROM made to date!!!!!!

pseudo_nomen = thank you so VERY MUCH for the circle battery addon, and without trashing the rest of Calk's icons - you helped make the best rom EVEN BETTER (for me)!!!!!!!

But now I have a few questions, and it is based on what I tried asking many times before, and now is even more important, so please if someone could chime in on this for me??????????

With the special Spare Parts included in Calk's ROM, under the storage section, even though with RA I had formatted my SD EXT to be EXT2>EXT3, it shows not mounted. In Titanium Backup (the latest version), it only shows status bars for internal memory and SD card memory. Every time I use AZSoft App2SD to move files to the SD card, my SD storage space shrinks.

Now the problems are . . . . . . .

Using RA Recovery (1.8), what good then is it to format a swap partition, and an EXT partition on the SD card if it is not going to be used how Calk's ROM is currently setup? And what good is upgrading the EXT2 to EXT3 if it is not going to be used? Should I have even formatted an EXT partition in the first place???

But now when on 1.5, and I had asked a couple of times with no answer - should Darktremor's dtapps2sd 2.7.5.2 recovery zip be used or not? As there was no answer, I went ahead and installed it, and this is what I found out:

1) in Spare Parts, it now SHOWS that the EXT3 partition is mounted, in use, and even how much space is being used

2) Titanium Backup now also shows a third bar for APP2SD partition

3) my SD card space is now NOT shrinking, as all moves to SD storage are now going to the space I set aside for EXT3

So those are the good points, but now some bad things also seem to happen when using Darktremors app2sd. Perhaps it is because of how Calk has setup where the Dalvik is, or something in some of the kernals look in a different location, but occasionally I have to reinstall (or restore) programs that become missing after I do a wipe cache/Dalvik to install another kernal, or a tweak (theme). I have also had a few times where Titanium backup even had some, errr, hickups when trying to do a restore.

So the main questions are:

* should we use Darktremors apps2sd?

* if so, could Calk tweak the ROM to work better with it?

* if not, should we even partition and format an EXT on the SD card (and also upgrade from EXT2>EXT3)? Or is this just a waste of space then????

* why if not using Darktremors apps2sd, does spare parts show the EXT3 not mounted, even though I had created one?

* what does the setting do in Spare Parts in the storage section down at the bottom that says Old App2SD disabled?

I hope that someone might be able to help me out with this? Thank you

Calk,

Would you be able to implement a volume fix for car dock users into your next release? When you put your Evo into the car dock it lowers the volume of the headset by 10dB and it's pretty annoying. See thread below:

It may be just my setup/apps, but i thought i would share my kernel experience with this rom. The included kings #11 runs great for me for a few minutes after each reboot. This plagued me for many hours today. I even Wiped everything twice again, reinstalled from scratch, even installed my apps (40) from scratch in case i had a bug in my titanium backup. Same deal. Runs great at first then slooows waaay down. Installed netarchy-toastmod-4.2.1-bfs-bfq-havs-more-smartass-universal (More Aggressive Undervolting) and this thing is flying now. Everything just feels a lot faster, and for longer. Not experiencing the major slow down i was getting before, at all. Super fast. HTC Tether still works as well. Not sure about battery life though.. That would suck if it sucked. Anyway, give netarchies kernel a try, it runs awesome for me. If that one isnt stable for you, it is aggressively undervolted. There is another version of this same kernel but with less aggressive UV, It is netarchy-toastmod-4.2.1-bfs-bfq-havs-less-smartass-universal (Less Aggressive Undervolting) It should do the trick if the first one doesn't.

Calkulin-Collin PH Battery Tweak Request.

Great Great rom Calkulin, thanks. Have you considered making this rom Collin_Ph_Battery_Tweak compatible? From what i understand making it compatible wouldnt change the performance in the least. It would give us the option to install and use the tweak though. It has done wonders for me on myns roms, major battery life improvements. I keep going back and forth lol. I like your rom the best though, i use it even though i dont get the same battery life as with the mod installed. Without the mod installed on myns, the battery life is similar. I really love your rosie customizations.. That looks awesome! best looking rosie on XDA! I like the way the lh button changes to the sense icon when in the app drawer. great stuff!!

This ROM seems pretty slow compared to 1.6. And I've been running into install errors and if I try to use MetaMorph it flat out locks the system up requiring a battery pull. And after doing that half of my apps are gone.

Hey guys, just switched over from Fresh. Loving it so far. :)

Quick question: In the notes, it says "Unlocked USB tethering & Sprint Hotspot!" Does that mean I can use hotspot w/o paying the $30 a month? Should I remove the other wifi tether app--pre12?
[EVO 4G Android Development] palmdude:
Nice rom, but I had to downgrade to 1.51. 1.6 was too laggy.
[EVO 4G Android Development] nugzo:
Yes, you can use the hotspot app that came with the phone. As well as the usb tether function from the usb menu. You can delete the wifi tether app, but i keep it for a backup. Wont hurt anything to keep it if you want to.

[EVO 4G Android Development] rmc.eagle:
"Unfortunately, that lead to finding the answer to this issue sooner than expected, which isn't necessarily good." ~ I got a such a good laugh from this. Oh man, memories .. this is soo true! When I coded in Lisp this became an almost daily occurrence.

Good find pseudo_nomen, you are correct in that it is a LP limitation. Since LP is undergoing a total recode from the ground up, hopefully this concern will be incorporated as options in settings, as it is a popular custom request.

Your work on these flashable zips is very appreciated, I think everyone that uses a non-restrictive launcher should try them! The battery is so good on this 1.6 release, I may even give some LWPs a shot again with your semi & full transparent.

Does this rom support wireless N. I have a linksys WRT610N it detects my 2.4wireless G but it won't detect my wireless N network. not sure why. any suggestions
[EVO 4G Android Development] pseudo_nomen:
That is odd. I have my router set to function on "N only" and the EVO sees, connects and re-connects just fine. Link integrity and range is awesome.

If I'm thinking correctly, N capability is a function of the kernel. I haven't used the included King's kernel, but my previous uses of King's kernels had seamless wireless N functionality.

Maybe try rebooting your phone and resetting your WAP/router and see if that helps. Every now and then I have to reset my router to get my laptop to pick it up again. Might be worth a try.

If that doesn't get you anywhere, give another kernel a shot, or re-install the kernel you're using.

[EVO 4G Android Development] sag7392:
I have tried several different kernels, so I decided to give the stock HTC #17 kernel a run this weekend just for the sake of argument. I am also using SetCPU (as I always do with most kernels), just to set a screen off profile.

I can say my Mflops are about the same as with other kernels I've used. FPS is about the same was well. I don't really care about Quadrant scores. Overall, my device really feels the same, even though it's not OC'd. So with that I'll report my battery life findings later.

All in all, I love this rom. Absolutely a bang up job, thank you Calkulin. Smooth as silk, I had 1.4 on my old evo (gave it to my fiance) and it was my top choice for my new 2.02 hboot phone. I swapped the kernel for HTC #17, so the camera would function, though. Thank you in advance for helping with the sd questions.

Try these out and see what you think. I threw together an additional clear status bar mod with a different pulldown bar that (IMO) goes better with the clear status bar, and matches the unlock screen pulldown. It's the same one Myn is using and that has been around for a while in Manup's theme.

Again, same Calk EViO 1.6 frameworks, just hacked in a few new PNG's.

Mediafire links due to file size.

* Calk_1.6_Stock_Batt_Clear_Status_Clear_Rosie_Stock_Pulldown.zip

Stock EViO 1.6 Battery images and pulldown bar, clear status bar up top, clear rosie background on the bottom. This one is a little bigger since it requires pushing the entire 15 or so MB com.htc.resources.apk.

* Calk_1.6_Stock_Batt_Clear_StatusBar_Alt_Pulldown.zip

Stock EViO Battery images, clear Status bar and alt notification pulldown bar. This file WON'T change the appearace of the rosie launcher, whatever it may be and you can flash it over the clear rosie files without mucking anything up.

Download and copy to root of SD card, wipe cache and Dalvik just to be safe and flash through recovery.

The OCD perfectionist inside me just wasn't quite happy with the clear rosie mod I posted a page or so back, so... I dicked around with it a little and added some touch feedback in the way of a subtle green glow (and red glow for shortcut removal).

[EVO 4G Android Development] pseudo_nomen:
Thanks! Glad you like it :-)

I don't have a specific answer since I don't use the clear statusbar, nor a stock-like browser. The clear statusbar will always be there provided the app you're running doesn't bump it out of the way (fullscreen), but since it's clear, it's appearance will change depending on what app you're running, showing the color of whatever's "behind" it.

Which is one of my peeves of the clear statusbar and why I don't use it ;-p it's just plain un-readable in some situations - especially when the window behind is light colored.

But I do wish you the best with it, just like it's (nearly) un-usable under certain circumstances, it can be phenomenally gorgeous under the right circumstances too ;-)
[EVO 4G Android Development] R32_Rocky:
No, sadly didn't :( I only needed it so as to change the browser to link to Dolphin instead of the stock browser.

Call Volume and the Letter "Z"

I'm currently running 1.5. Has anyone noticed that the speaker volume is loud during a call even though the in-call volume is set to the lowest volume? I make a call and the volume is really loud. However, since I can't turn it down any more, I "increase" the volume during a call and it drops to the level that it should be at. Take the volume back down to the lowest level and you're good to go. Is anybody else having this issue?

Also, another thing that I've noticed about every ROM, no matter which one I'm running. Has anyone noticed that the Smart Dial feature doesn't recognize the letter "Z?" For example, if I want to call a friend named Brad, I just spell Brad and find his number, right? Try doing it for someone named Zack or any other name that starts with a "Z."

First, must say "GREAT WORK!!!" as usual. I used 1.3 which worked great. Then 1.5.1 which worked great as well but never really got a chance to use it a whole lot because 1.6 was released right behind it. After using 1.6 for a complete day, I must say this thing smokes. I had to change the kernel though and for some strange reason, Ziggy's 10/28 is my personal kernel of choice because it fulfills my "Need for Speed" and just works better than netarchy's AND Kings kernels. Everyone recommends either one of net's or kings kernels but they always seems to slow my EVO to a crawl after a few hours of heavy use. Can't explain but they do. Kernels are a matter of personal choice so I recommend finding one that really works for you and to stick with that one. Also what seemed to help out was getting a cache cleaner from the market.
[EVO 4G Android Development] cdred:
Which version of SetCPU are you using? Make sure its 2.0.4. Secondly, click on profile and make sure that the Enable button is checked. I added 2 profile entries and changed 1. I added Charging/Full 1190 max 245 min performance and charging USB/Full to 1190max 245min conservative and I changed battery<85% to 1190max 245min conserative and set priority to 90. Besides that, full tilt 1190max 245min performance setting. 1190 is my max setting because of the kernel I use and I don't personally recommend o/c ing over 1190 for other than benchmarking anyway. Hope this helps...
