[EVO 4G Android Development] daryelv:
The problem is that you can't create individual zips for each of the things you want the theme. For instance, you might want to change the battery icons in one zip and the signal icons in another. That's very difficult because they both reside within the same file (framework-res.apk). Metamorph is designed to do this type of tweaking of the UI, but not everyone likes Metamorph or understands how to use it.

Ideally, someone could come up with a way to modify individual files within the APKs by writing scripts to execute within the update ZIPs. For Example, this is how some kernels are flashed now. If you look in the .ZIP file of a kernel update you'll find a script that creates a file called "/tmp/createnewboot.sh" which runs the mkbootimg directly on your phone. If someone were to design a way to create a script to update the APKs and organize a file structure that the script could parse through to update files in the different APK files, then you could be basically doing what Metamorph does but without all the user interactions. This gets tricky when you start dealing with some bases that have drawable-hdpi and some some that have drawable-hdpi-v4 instead.

Is it just me?

Is it me or for some reason whenever I flash a Calkulin ROM it deletes my photos in my DCIM folder? So basically any photo I take with the camera gets erased when I wipe and do a ROM install.

Any insight?
[EVO 4G Android Development] reigndropz:
Sounds like its just you....

I have flashed many roms and have NEVER had that happen. When you are wiping the phone before the installation of the rom, are you maybe formatting that area of the SD card perhaps? The only thing you should be wiping is the factory/cache, Dalvik and battery stats.
[EVO 4G Android Development] osvaldoalejandre:
i installed this rom only got 377mb internal memory
[EVO 4G Android Development] piranah:
When I have my phone charging through my computer, i dont get any notification sounds. Text messages come in, but the sound never goes off, so I dont know that im getting one. Am I missing something?
[EVO 4G Android Development] lc3necro:
Had to revert to 1.6.1a, 1.6.2 was FC'ing all over the place (yes, clean install with all the wipey goodness possible). FC's include adding a widget, market, internet, a few others that escape me. I was liking the slightly better battery life of 1.6.2 but eh, I didnt have nearly the issues as with .1a (never had .1b installed *shrug*)

My 2cents, give or take a cent. Otherwise lovin the ROMs
[EVO 4G Android Development] carhauler1969:
I'm having the same issue. Usb set to charge only, I get no notifications for texts or emails.

Also, totally unrelated, but I have 1 icon, & one widget on my home screen that say "problem loading" every time I reboot, or do a hot restart. The icon is for Handcent SMS, & the widget is Gmail unread count. I have to manually remove them, & then re-add them to home, small thing, but annoying none the less. :confused:
[EVO 4G Android Development] 4redstars:
Do you use Titanium backup? Were you using an AOSP rom before this? I'm just wondering as I've never had any FC's and I've flashed a ton of roms and always come back to Calk's and have been using 1.6.2 since it was released with not a single FC.
[EVO 4G Android Development] eniamg02:
Calk,is there a way or will the new mod be included in your roms?
[EVO 4G Android Development] ozzone:
how to change the bootscreen on this ROM?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Mikee4fun:
I have two EVO's and I isolated the FC's to the kernel. One of my Evo's worked just fine and the other one did not like the kernel at all. I flashed the second FCin' Evo to Ziggie's kernel the second EVO had no more problems. Not all EVO's are equal for some reason. You would think the snapdragon processor in the EVO's would have better uniformity between different devices but it doesn't.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Mikee4fun:
The stock splash is located on the second post. If you want to change it to something else, read the themes thread.
[EVO 4G Android Development] noons:
I am also getting FC's and didnt see them until the undervolt mod (HTC 17 was working fine with 1.6.1b. Anyone know if I flash a new kernel will this mod still be in use?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Doncabezon:
anyone know a good notification power widget that goes good with this rom. I think its the only thing I need.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Mikee4fun:
No because you will be using a new kernel.
[EVO 4G Android Development] noons:
Ok just making sure, was concerned because I was reading the actual mod page and it sounded more like an init script of some sort.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ozzone:
i mean the bootanimatin.zip

in stock ROM and the other Custom ROM i've tried before, i can change the Bootanimation.zip by using ROOTEXPLORER, and navigate to system/customize/resource
[EVO 4G Android Development] xlGmanlx:
this is what mine are named on my phone and location

bootanimation.zip /system/customize/resource

SPC_animation_final.mp3 /system/customize/resource
[EVO 4G Android Development] reigndropz:
Just wanted to ask you guys your opinion on this....

After flashing the most current Calk Rom and Zig's kernel, I decided to throw on Riptide's theme along with Slayer's transitions. Also, I lowered the CPU spee dto around 880 or so. Thats the only major change I had done. However, Im not sure if its me but I seem to be getting worse battery life....Is it possible that Riptide's theme is using more battery than just using Calk's base?
[EVO 4G Android Development] bigd2442:
Question for Caulk.:

Regarding the notif. icons, I've found them in the framework apk file,as well as the resources folder but am also looking for the colored icons from the power button options menu (the actual ones in the menu, not the bar... mute/power off/vibrate/airplane)

Can you (or anyone) point me towards those icon folders/apk etc?

Sorry to be kinda off topic again.
[EVO 4G Android Development] sgt. slaughter:
Yeah, I tried to use metamorph but just couldn't get it to work as none of the theming files i had on the phone had the right structure according to the program so I was unable to pull anything out of them with it.

I will likely venture this weekend some time and start trying to pull images/themes from some roms and try to get something together for myself. Really in the end just need to take calk's images for the most part and allow it to be used on other rom's. I would just take the framework-res.apk and the other .apk that has them(sorry early in morning to remember it) and push it to whatever rom im running but in doing that I'd assume I'd lose any tweaks the other rom might have in there framework performance wise. Or am I completly wrong on that?
[EVO 4G Android Development] quocamole:
really only one way to find out - install rom with default kernel (htc #17) and see how battery life goes (at least 2 cycles of charge/discarge). if all is well, flash a kernel or theme just as long as you test one variable at a time.

i don't flash themes built from a different base. i don't use setcpu either; i find a kernel that plays nice with my phone using android system info, system panel and juiceplotter to see what's going on with my phone.
[EVO 4G Android Development] agrenwa:
I'm not sure this is related to this rom, when rebooting the phone or switching airplane mode off, 4g will automatically turn on, is there a setting that 4g should only turn on manually and not turn on automatic every time I turn on the phone.
[EVO 4G Android Development] D.J.CaSpER:
Ok I'm getting great battery life but the kernel is not playing nice with my games I play I'm getting all kinds of lag. What is a better kernel for this rom? Back when i was on 1.4 i used ziggys but the battery life was not not all that good under 50%. On #17 the one that comes with the rom and when using #11 from 1.5 and 1.6 did really good but playing my 3d games don't hold up well but ziggys did. I would really like to here from anyone for a fast kernel like ziggys by the battery life like #11 and #17 that comes with calk's roms.
[EVO 4G Android Development] D.J.CaSpER:
I'm just putting this out there my phone is running fine now and has been but yesterday my phone when hay wire had to reboot my phone 3 times to get it to run right again. Yesterday i was helping my mom and kept haven to call her cuz she works some time from home sometimes. so i was on her computer at her house why she was at work. After i finished helping her i left to go home she called me and when i tried to answer from the lock screen it wouldn't let me slide the lock screen to answer. After she stopped calling it let me unlock the screen then the app. Menu kept opening and closing and could not get it to stop untill i rebooted a couple time like i said i did. That was wired never happen before.
[EVO 4G Android Development] xlGmanlx:
i always recommend baked snack kernels especially if you can find #6
[EVO 4G Android Development] sgt. slaughter:
yes recommend the one that has the wrong calculation in it in terms of clock speed....:rolleyes:
[EVO 4G Android Development] xlGmanlx:
ha! who cares? if it feels snappy, gets good battery life and does what you want, run it, or not
[EVO 4G Android Development] D.J.CaSpER:
Gman thanks for the reply
[EVO 4G Android Development] merkk:
fwiw, i just looked on my phone using root explorer and the only thing i see in that folder are some htc wallpapers, a ccinfo.txt file and an empty resource file.
[EVO 4G Android Development] D.J.CaSpER:
Do u have an idea on a kernel I should use? That's speedy like ziggys and batery life like #11 and #17?
[EVO 4G Android Development] soundwavedj:
Depends on the phone. Its not a helpful answer I know but its true....
[EVO 4G Android Development] sgt. slaughter:
personally i bounce around and since king has left ive moved back to net's 4.2.1 cfs kernels. the bfs ones r tad snappier but cfs is just fine for me and lil better on the batt.
[EVO 4G Android Development] D.J.CaSpER:
Ya I know its true. And I know u get one or the other for kernels. Either u get a crap load of speed and not so good batery life and get great battery life and not so speedy. But was just asking for whom is using this rom witch kernels r best in everyone's opinion for this roms so I can try them out. I know how cfs and bfs #11 run and i know how #17 runs as well as ziggys. Just looking for something new to try and see what will work the best for my phone and games.
[EVO 4G Android Development] xlGmanlx:
Hmmmm....those are the commands that i use when i push my custom boot animation and sound (motorola droid eye and "DROID!" works every time. maybe just try pushing anyways and see what you get? NAND first of course
[EVO 4G Android Development] merkk:
i wasn't trying to replace the boot animation. I just saw your discussion on it and decided to look in that folder to see what was there. I didn't see any of the files you guys were talking about. Just added that into the conversation in case it helped the person who was trying to change their boot animation and also said they couldn't find those files.
[EVO 4G Android Development] soundwavedj:
The imo is nets 4.2.1 bfs. Seems good on battery too
[EVO 4G Android Development] chummer360:
ok, I'm having some battery problem. if I leave the 3g on it drains the battery quicker than us eual, been through all of the kernels.i never had it doing this before, any suggestions?

Did you use any software like setcpu, juice defender or a different kernel?
[EVO 4G Android Development] jeiyuu:
Okay, so I am coming from 1.6.1b and I love how I have setup everything. Do you guys do a clean/wipe install when upgrading to 1.6.2? Or what is the best way to make sure everything (that should be) is backed up before flashing? Thanks in advance
[EVO 4G Android Development] merkk:
i nandroid backup everything, wipe davik and cache, and then install the rom. I've done this like 3-4 times with calk's rom's for each update and only ran into a problem once, and i just had to wipe dalvik/cache again to resolve that problem.

Other's suggest doing a full wipe and using titanium to get your apps back.

I suggest doing the nandroid backup along with titanium, wipe the caches and try installing. if it doesn't work you can restore the nandroid backup and either try again or do a full wipe and use titanium.
[EVO 4G Android Development] carhauler1969:
So here's what I ended up doing:

Did a nand backup, replaced ClockWorkMod with Amon Ra's recovery, backed up again, wiped EVERYTHING, twice just to be sure, & reflashed Calk's ROM w/ included kernel, & wah lah! I have notification sounds, ringtones, & alerts!!!

At some point this afternoon I discovered that I had NO sound files @ all in whatever apk they're supposed to be in. Don't have a clue where they went, or why they weren't there, but they were definetly MIA.

I went as far as replacing the recovery image because ClockWork's has been acting weird while navigating through menus in recovery, especially when trying to wipe the dalvik cache, & got stuck in boot loop at one point yesterday. So I felt I had no choice but to start over from the beginning, without unrooting. I am brand new at rooting & roms, this is the first rom I've installed, but it came highly recommended, & so far I like it a lot. Great rom Calk!!! :D

Then on my desktop i was able to "connect to Android" via Easy Tether and POW, i'm connected. FREE! :) Thanks guys for the help.

Thanks for this. I have been looking for this sort of solution!
[EVO 4G Android Development] tyler.durden:
What exactly is lacking in this ROM? I have used it daily for about a week now, and it runs pretty fast and stable. The colorful taskbar icons are a pretty cool little tweak as well. Only issues I have even come across are Shazam force closing after install, but a quick uninstall/reinstall fixes that permanently. And for some strange reason, Myspace mobile won't scroll at all. Don't use myspace much anyway.
[EVO 4G Android Development] eniamg02:
Calkulin since new htc kernel is out and I'm sure netarchy will have done his thing fast, any chance for update soon?sorry for asking.great rom.

Hey guys sorry to bring this up but my search has been fruitless so far.

I love Calk's ROM and it has been amazing so far.

By first top gallery do you mean the Live Wallpapers?

in:

you will find:

VisualizationWallpapers.apk

but I don't think they are the ones you are looking for, did you install any of the additional ones by any chance, or hell take a screenie of the "road" one...
[EVO 4G Android Development] nenn:
its in regards to his linked thread, where he puts all the roms up for comparison.
[EVO 4G Android Development] nenn:
go to the themes section, there is a thread about how to flash splash screens, just find the white one, or request it. its simple
[EVO 4G Android Development] nenn:
if the kernel for 2.2 is released, the source i mean, you should be able to just flash it ontop of what you already have running. there isnt a need to update the entire rom.

Hey everyone just a quick question. I finally went and bought the hdmi cable but when I plug it in and play a movie nothing happens! Does it not work with this ROM? Or maybe is it because of the kernal?

An "oldie" but goodie

EViO versions >1.4 never really ran "right" on my EVO (e.g., the odd force close, so-so battery life, etc), so I ended up going back to my Nandroid of 1.3.1 and can't be happier. I'm starting to accept/believe the argument that the 3.30 OTA doesn't play nice with some people's hardware.

Anyway, been ripping/splicing/flashing bits and pieces of the various framework.apks from newer versions of EViO and other ROMs to customize my version of 1.3.1 (e.g., red/yellow/green strength signal bars, circle battery mod, flip/fold window transitions, personalized lock screen and status bar, flip clock, etc). Really enjoying the final look.

Battery life has been great with net's 4.2.1 no-HAVs on smartass with a 245/128 conservative screen-off profile.

Hi lucky,

20 tips to improve HTC EVO 4G battery life

its been nice to go two days without plugging in.

Functionally, 1.3.1 runs as well (if not better IMO) as anything more recently released.

As for the updated apps (like Maps, Voice, etc) and cosmetics, grafting in those from other EViO releases and ROMs is straightforward once you:

1) figure out what you want to change and where/in which framework.apk its in.

2) have a Linux box (or virtual machine) handy for splicing them into the current ROM's apks (once they are pulled from the phone) or flashable zips.

Cheers.

It's funny, I came to the exact same conclusion a few days ago, after not wanting to believe there was an issue with 3.30. I've been messing with 1.3 to get it the way I like it. There is definitely something about 3.30 that my phone (HW 2) doesn't like. I really wish Cal would devel for 3.29 again.

Using rom manager

Install it from the market if u dont have it

Once u have it scroll to the bottom and ull see Amon Ra recovery 1.8.0

If u want to flash rom and stuff use Ra it works best for that, if backing up n restoring use clockworkmod its best for that. Hope that helps bro :)

Clockwork is easier to get into ur backups because it has its own folder.

I fully agree that the 3.30 updates ment for the newer evos dont play nice with the older models, I wish I truly wish calc and the rest of the chefs give us an option of their rom one with the latest 3.30 updates for the newer evos, and another rom with the latest Firmware that was released for the older evos that came out this summer. I myself think with the firmware ment for my evo runs best then the 3.30 for the newer models.

So what you think calc you up for it?? Por Favor
