Op's had non-sense ROMs before. He had a 2.1 non-sense ROM before Froyo came out.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mawst95:
I understand that, but wasn't this ROM always Sense? The issue for me is that if future versions don't have sense, I'll have to do a full wipe, install sense, get it configured, rinse-and-repeat. 1.2RC to 1.2 was nice because I didn't have to spend 3 hours setting up my phone. I just wiped caches and flashed and it was perfect.

I've also been following this thread for a long time and didn't see many people asking to switch from sense to ADW. Again, just so I'm clear, it's Caulk's ROM, not a community ROM and its not a democracy. If I don't like it, I have other options. It's just disappointing, since this is by far my favorite ROM and I've been using it since version 1.

I guess ultimately for future updates, I hope Caulk will release a sense and non-sense version. Maybe there's a way to flash these new new ADW versions over my sense version without doing a full wipe?
[EVO 4G Android Development] logie:
Pretty much QFT.. Completely agree.. Not trying to ***** as Calk does great work but I don't understand shying away from Sense since that is what it was from Day 1
[EVO 4G Android Development] ___DJK___:
Not sure what the fuss is about, seems easy enough for those of us who want Sense to flash on the add on and restore all previous Sense settings from TB.

Love the ROM!
[EVO 4G Android Development] Smac61:
FWIW, I like it with a sense add on. Always easier to add something after the fact than remove it after its infected the environment.

I'm quite enjoying the non-sense version right now and always know I can do a quick flash to get it back.

Besides the one additional step at flash time, whats the big disadvantage?
[EVO 4G Android Development] dannys.ser:
?????

I need some help Flashed Rom but now i can't change bootscreen thru Pushboot2 any suggestions ??
[EVO 4G Android Development] exSD:
I don't understand why Calk's made the Sense an add-on. Just sayin. Reason I, and a lot others, used this ROM was because it was Sense out of the box
[EVO 4G Android Development] dkotoric:
what difference does it make you just flash two files right after another and its the same thing as having it built in, and you have to understand allot of others spend allot of time trying to remove sense cause they hate it, like myself.
[EVO 4G Android Development] 2k4mach:
not really that big of a deal IMO, flash 2 zips now instead of 1. it takes what an extra minute or 2 at most.
[EVO 4G Android Development] awenthol:
I apologize if this has been discussed but I haven't had a chance to dig through past posts (will get there later this afternoon if noone can/will help)...

Is there a way to add the vibrations back into the Vanilla lock screen and dialer key presses??
[EVO 4G Android Development] Calkulin:
Looks like I was finally able to bypass the Sprint authentication to use the built in USB tethering :D
[EVO 4G Android Development] cmart4:
awesome news! anxiously waiting!
[EVO 4G Android Development] nico4k:
sssweeettt!

That is freaking SWEETTT! i cant wait!:eek:
[EVO 4G Android Development] nico4k:
everything works, exept...

Everything is great with 1.2a...only issue i have is that Chrome to Phone does not work. I press send to phone, and nothing ever happens on my phone (nothing shows up at all)..tried signing in and out on both the computer and the phone...no luck...anyone else with this issue ?:confused:

(and yes sometimes apps dont want to download from the market, but i dont think this is rom specific, since my wife has the epic 4G and its doing the samething with the stock rom)...
[EVO 4G Android Development] exSD:
Now the user base that wants Sense is going to spend time to get it. Works both ways.

I didn't say it was time consuming or difficult. Just defeated my purpose for using this ROM. I'll continue to use it.

Read above.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mac_evo:
I dropped this on top of the 1.2 version of the ROM (like SENSE) and having no issues at all. Main reason I had to upgrade... eyes must be getting old - could not see the numbers on the ROMs stock battery icon.

This ROM has been outstanding for me. I am running it with out Set CPU. Battery life has been good compared to earlier releases. Last night went to bed with 42% remaining after 16 hours off charge with moderate use.

Thanks Calkulin!
[EVO 4G Android Development] Smac61:
Thank you. Outstanding. With this and the new 1.2a modifications, this ROM is as close to perfect (for me, of course) as it gets.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Smac61:
But removing Sense is significantly more difficult than flashing a small second zip which you can find right where you downloaded the ROM

A very small price for Sense users to pay to gain broader appeal for the ROM, IMO...
[EVO 4G Android Development] smw6180:
Technically not true anymore since Calk released a program to remove Sense. ;)

Frankly it doesn't matter to me. I'm a Sense user and will just flash the extra zip file. I'll just add it to the list of stuff I usually flash with a new rom, like theme, font, etc.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Calkulin:
Here's the fix to disable Sprint authentication for USB tethering, so it should work now. It also disables it for the Sprint Wifi Router app but I wasn't able to connect to the internet, so that probably still won't work if you don't have the plan
[EVO 4G Android Development] Calkulin:
In a sense Smac61 is right (no pun intended), I did it because not everyone likes the Sense launcher, which is all I really made as a add-on, everything else that is part of Sense is there. Soon that will a mute point tho since I'm going to be doing update zips to update just the changes and leave the full ROM for those that are coming over from other ROMs
[EVO 4G Android Development] mawst95:
Okay, so then maybe one of the experts here wouldn't mind writing up a quick guide.

I have Sense 1.2 and say I want to flash to a newer version (1.2a)--I wiped cache/davlik cache and flashed. Sense was gone. The next step would be to flash the Sense add-on zip? Would my Sense/homescreen be back to what is was originally? Or would I need to restore some settings from TB? Having a noob-ready step-by-step would be great.

My worry is that I'll have to do a full wipe from now on because Sense isn't stock. I don't want to have to full wipe and reconfigure every single version. I understand that sometimes its a major upgrade and a full wipe is advisable. I've also been told that a full wipe, followed by an ROM upgrade, followed by a full TB restore is a bad idea. However, I can easily do that--1.2-->full wipe-->1.2a-->full TB restore.

Thanks.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mawst95:
One other question I've been meaning to ask--I've never touched the spare parts settings. Is there a recommended config? Should zipalign at boot be checked? Thanks.
[EVO 4G Android Development] :
Love this rom but the music app is not working properly. It skip song and sound like the song is scratch.................any fix to this?
[EVO 4G Android Development] bobross:
Uninstall Chrome to Phone on your EVO, then reinstall. Should work.
[EVO 4G Android Development] GadgetMonger:
Sweet. It works. Think Sprint will be able to tell?
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
good, good, good work man....

confirmed working for usb tethering.

very good stuff.

ever since the old wm days u were the best in everything and u still are.

btw if anyone is wondering... im on a 3.26 base rom... and it works for me so there is no need to be on a 3.28 framework.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Smac61:
I'm far from an expert but I believe you would flash 1.2a then, before you even leave recovery, flash the Sense add on. You'll be exactly where you would have been with 1.2 upon reboot.
[EVO 4G Android Development] eniamg02:
Anybody...what is the app called to use usb tether?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Smac61:
Its the "connect to pc" menu, "USB tethering"

If your not seeing the menu upon connecting your phone, click "charge only" "HTC Sync" or "Disk Drive" from the notification bar.
[EVO 4G Android Development] eniamg02:
Oh ok got it thought it was some app I needed.thanks.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ricsim78:
Calkulin you do some great work!

I have a question though. I installed Evio 2 1.2a and then tried adding the Sense addon. I was unable to select Sense as my home application and Sense itself is not listed anywhere on my phone. I have the app clear default home, and after using that and hitting the home key, I could only choose ADW or LP. No Sense available. I installed the "Sense addon" in my recovery (RA 1.8)

That is the only reason I am not using this ROM atm because I want Sense. I assumed the Sense addon would do just that, maybe it did not take for some reason? Or is this intentional?

Please, I want to use this with my Evo.

To answer any foreseeable questions, I like Sense because it is hard to replace a lot of the widgets (Sync, 4G, etc.) and I happen to like it. I have beautiful widgets but that does not solve the problem. No sync, no 4G toggle.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Smac61:
Not sure if this will help but did you try

menu/settings/applications/manage applications/all/ADW.Launcher

select "clear defaults"

Choice should be back?
[EVO 4G Android Development] ricsim78:
Thank you for the quick response. I tried that. "Cleardefaulthome" basically does just what it says, it clears the default when home is pressed so you can choose the app be the default home screen. Hitting home after installing the Sense addon still only gave me the choice of either ADW or LP. No Sense.

I looked in the Settings/Applications and Sense was not there, even though I flashed the "Sense addon". I tried reinstalling the Sense add-on afterward, still no Sense.

Bad download maybe? I will re-download and try and reinstall and see what happens.

Of course when I flash a ROM I do a full wipe, cache, Dalvik, etc. I use RA recovery, 1.8 latest. Even 1.2 RC worked, I had Sense as an option.
[EVO 4G Android Development] stanglifemike:
This looks great!! While I am a Sense user I've been itching to flash a Sense-less ROM so this will be a great candidate. Flashing it now, will post my thoughts tommorow. Thanks!!
[EVO 4G Android Development] icecoldbong:
i was using 1.2 for a bit and it had an option in messages to make message size 5m. 1.2 seems to have lost it. does it still contain your mms size fix?
[EVO 4G Android Development] GadgetMonger:
Reflash the sense add on zip.... if that doesnt work, re-download it and try again.
[EVO 4G Android Development] shadypeddy:
Have you tried "Extended Control" widget? Its available in the market & appbrain. Has a 4g toggle as well as other stuff. Works really well, looks just like the stock power control bar in android.

h**p://w**.appbrain.com/app/com.extendedcontrols
[EVO 4G Android Development] dodgeboy:
I just upgraded to 1.2a, and noticed that the proximity sensor no longer turns off the screen when I'm on a call. Is there a way to re-enable this?

Thanks,

[EVO 4G Android Development] nico4k:
Worked like a charm! thanks! (i thought i removed it and reinstalled it, but i guess i flash so many times, i forgot about it on this one. ) :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] Calkulin:
I was able to port over snp's reboot mod, so I'll post that soon also
[EVO 4G Android Development] eniamg02:
Hey calk so from here forward all updates will be individual zips, correct?not a whole rom?
[EVO 4G Android Development] friedCELLS:
Awesome ROM... Thanks!!

Love the speed and wifi tether included and the overall look and smoothness of operation. Thank you for all your hard work and time. No problems so far for me. I tried Baked Snack and for some reason, it really slowed my phone down. My phone's on fire now! Donated. Keep up the good work. Peace....
[EVO 4G Android Development] nobrakes:
After flashing this usb tethering zip, my phone would not connect to my bluetooth headset (plantronics voyager pro). It would see it but wouldn't connect. Thanks great rom
[EVO 4G Android Development] ricsim78:
I am going to give that a try later. I am currently using Fresh with Netarchy's 4.18 CFS and running very well. But I like Calkulin's work and Evio is very nice so I will probably switch if I can get it to work the way I want.
[EVO 4G Android Development] dkotoric:
sweet I actually can't wait for this.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mawst95:
Sense users, here's how I upgraded from 1.2 to 1.2a

1) Wiped both caches

2) Flashed 1.2a

3) Rebooted

4) In recovery, flashed sense add on

5) Rebooted

6) restored sense desktop with Titanium Backup.

7) Had to readd non sense widgets

#3 is probably unnecessary (you can probably flash ROM and add on at the same time), but I had to DL the sense add on.

Seems to work perfect. Took about 10 minutes.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ricsim78:
Titanium Backup is no doubt a great app but boy can it cause some serious problems at times!

I know it is tedious (especially if you are a constant flasher like I have been lately!) but I would rather manually put everything back.

Many times restoring with TB has caused my phone to act erratic, I used to blame whatever ROM I was using until I stopped using TB and have hardly had any problems.

My phone would forget my icon settings when I would turn it off and on, it would slow down, sometimes stuff would break. I used to do the batch>restore all + data but that is just asking for problems. Even doing a manual one at a time install I would run into problems. These problems would make me think it was the ROM and would cause me to redo my whole phone again, taking more time than just restoring it manually.

I figured it out after a couple of ROM changes, I knew when I had the same problem across a few different ROMs that it was a problem caused by something I was doing. That something was TB backups.

But if it works for you, by all means use it. For me, I have other ways to restore my apps quickly.
[EVO 4G Android Development] dkotoric:
This should be alot simpler. Its only a 4 step process.

1) Wipe both caches

2) Flash 1.2a

3) Flash Sense Add-on

4) Reboot
[EVO 4G Android Development] dkotoric:
Weird been using Titanium backup since the the HTC Hero days and never had any problems. Just make sure when you restore you are restoring apps only and NOT system data.
[EVO 4G Android Development] usctrunks:
am I th eonly 1 that doesn't have the mic button for talk to text?
[EVO 4G Android Development] mawst95:
Ricsim-

If you were responding to me, I would agree, don't do a full restore with TB. I only restored the Sense desktop data, no apps. I've had repeated good success with restoring my desktop/home screen config this way. Because you're not doing a full wipe, you shouldnt have to restore any apps. Obviously, YMMV
[EVO 4G Android Development] mawst95:
Dkotorik-

Doing it this way restored the default sense config, but not my custom config. I had to restore sense desktop from TB to get my pre flash customizations
[EVO 4G Android Development] usctrunks:
Sorry I thought I would clarify my previous post. I just flashed Calkulin's ROM switching from Damageless. Damageless doesn't have a mic button on it's keyboard for talk to text. After switching I still do not have this button but I was wondering if this is because I came from the damageless rom or because this is also an issue on Calkulin's Rom.

Thanks

[EVO 4G Android Development] ricsim78:
I use it to restore my mail settings and contact settings only for data. Have not had any problems doing that, but I wish Google would fix the problem where when it syncs your contacts, it makes the pictures look all fuzzy (like they are not at the correct resolution.)

For me, I can have my apps back in less than 10 minutes. Since I update everything, I usually end up having to go to the market to download the updates anyhow. Rather just re-download them and already have the latest version.

Ah well, we all have our preferences. I do wish there was a quick, painless way to reinstall everything with a few screen presses but you cannot have it all I guess :D
[EVO 4G Android Development] dkotoric:
well I think its pretty painless. I don't use sense so I use launcher pro I backup al lmy settings for launcher pro and restore all my apps using titanium backup and I'm done. Thats all thats to it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] smw6180:
That's probably the single worst thing you can restore. You lucked out because all the current roms use the same version of sense. But if the version you flash is different than what you backed up you're going to be looking at a wipe and reflash.
[EVO 4G Android Development] dkotoric:
is there any reason I should be getting a score of only 1025 with 1.2a rom. I'm overclocked to 1152 with ondemand setting.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ricsim78:
It is funny because when he wrote that I was thinking the exact same thing. But yeah, kind of funny how the YMMV is a very true thing when it comes to custom ROMS, kernels, and apparently our backup methods. :D
[EVO 4G Android Development] BorisDDS:
The Mic is there.

I just checked on my Evo keyboard Mic is there and works, I also have mic on my Swype keyboard and that works as well
[EVO 4G Android Development] Smac61:
I don't believe this is a 1.2a issue as its working fine for me.

No suggestions though, sorry.
[EVO 4G Android Development] stanglifemike:
Calkulin, I accidentaly changed the pre-set settings that you had in SetCPU before getting a chance to try them out. Any way I can get those back?

Also, where is the pre-set wallpaper stored at? Just wondering so I could go back to it if I ever decide to.
[EVO 4G Android Development] stanglifemike:
Sweet!!! Thanks, looking forward to that!

Awesome ROM AGAIN Calk! Has anybody had an issue with going into the Hotspot settings? I have tried different kernels, fixed permissions and even a different ROM but it seems like they all FC when I go into the settings. I can turn it on with no issue and even connect to it with the default key "1234567890" but I can't get into the settings.
[EVO 4G Android Development] GadgetMonger:
Second that. Did you wipe before flashing? Are you running a theme or mod of any kind? Using Titanium backup? These are all things that can have wierd effects on your Evo after an update...
[EVO 4G Android Development] Pbrussell:
So its good to hear that the app pic not resetting with the launcher pro reboot is tb issue...and yea as far as setcpu goes, I think I've read alot about certain issues ppl have been having and questions can someone post calks recommended setcpu settings for this rom ...?

[EVO 4G Android Development] BorisDDS:
Sorry for asking the same question before.

I am a newby to this.

I rooted the phone using the Unrevoked 3.21

I did flash the Sense add on, and it didn't change anything.

Is there is anything else I can do?
[EVO 4G Android Development] 2k4mach:
redownload it and reflash it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] BorisDDS:
I did download the new File for Sense add-on and reflashed it.

Nothing happening.

Does Anyone have any more ideas to try?

If any ones having an issue with the icons resetting with launcher pro...i don't know if this has been addressed but the new".1" version fixes the issue, but as for setcpu if anyone could post the settings designated for this rom if appreciate it:)
[EVO 4G Android Development] 2k4mach:
hmmm id prolly wipe the device and start over flashing the rom and the sense addon again.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Smac61:
I'm getting about 16 hours with moderate usage with 1.2a. As good or better than any rom yet for me.

I did have something go rouge on me with a different rom that had my phone 100% awake... Never could figure out which program went nuts and I finally just flashed a new rom.

Was a blessing in disguise as I switched to this rom after that.
[EVO 4G Android Development] palmdude:
How do you restore your widgets? This seems to be the most tedious part of flashing a rom. Haven't figured out how to automate this.

PS evio is the best rom :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] Pbrussell:

[EVO 4G Android Development] dkotoric:

[EVO 4G Android Development] meatgel:
Did you try uninstalling and then reinstalling? My slingplayer connects and plays fine with this ROM. I install from the market not from TB because I have had issues with a few apps when I just restore them with TB.
[EVO 4G Android Development] palmdude:
Yes it restores the widget programs, but how do you restore the "visible" widgets on your home screen?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Hairongreenfire:
