[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Award Tour:
Try to send me a new batch as well, I *think* I'll be done with this in a hour. If you can, send me the froyo ones.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Award Tour:
Okay, so I uncompressed the entire deodexed release of Froyo onto my server. I'll start with the two folder locations I got before. I plan to theme almost everything which means that this could take a long while to complete. The next post you see from me on this thread will be the first release which will be near complete.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] h3nG:
can't wait!
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] nugzo:
Great news, i cant wait either.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] anthony1487:
Wow, Great to see a theme being built in bits and pieces right before our eyes. Hope to test this out soon! Good luck!
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Award Tour:
Here's a update with some of the elements that I've finished. I finished a bunch more but they don't fit into context with these. Still a lot more left though...
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] nugzo:
nice! 8 9 10
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] h3nG:
Looks great! I am liking it.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] spoolin347:
First post on the forum, I was originally intent on not theming my new EVO, but this is one theme i will most certainly install when finished. The evo is also my first Android device, i came from a blackberry.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Award Tour:
A update for those interested:

Been testing it out and it's looking good. I really want to work on the lens flare happy HTC icons but, man, it'll require a lot of work.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] :
that is gorgeous.

rom devs should bundle this in as the default sense theme once it's done :D
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] huskerpat:
I'm very interested in this. I personally don't care to have the icons as I've replaced them all anyways on the home screen.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Award Tour:
Oh, not those. The ones in the UI - like when you are switching sections in the contact or mail app.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] josue85:
I'm really excited for this theme, just wanted to thank you for the work already done, and to say I can't wait to try this!
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] h3nG:
Any updates? :)
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Gregalous:
Oh my gosh that looks freaking amazing. I don't even use a Sense ROM but I just might need to switch back.

Dude, really, that looks sweet.

Really.

If you need any help let me know. Im pretty good with photoshop and I can help you out if you need it.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] jkinnison90:
That looks good. I would definitely use this.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Award Tour:
I'm still in middle of testing and designing. I hope to get a first release out this week. Its probably going to cover all common UI elements. After that I'll do more specific elements and the finally I'll move towards replacing the icons.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] prjkthack:
I have to say, I am loving the example you created on the first post. If you can do that all over Sense, it would look absolutely beautiful. Looking forward to this.

Edit: Whoa just saw the 2nd screenshot. That is absolutely beautiful. Wow.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] nebenezer:
Which icons are you referring to here?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] ajones7279:
The ones that show up when you slide to a different "page" in apps. Like sliding from your inbox in the mail app.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] nebenezer:
ahh.. yeah those things are hideous
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] wsantiagow:
Im really loving this theme. Its looking just right. Some of the other themes are just over-done. The notification bar and icons are perfect! :D
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] jkinnison90:
Any updates?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Award Tour:
I finished a lot of it but Sense is so horribly done (not only graphically but also how they decided to layer the elements) that I'm close to just switching to CM6 for good. A lot of areas (like the rounded lists) are near impossible to re-theme correctly because of stupid decisions HTC made in arranging the layout/elements.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] nebenezer:
+1, Sense is a clusterf**k
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] wrxlvr:
So glad I clicked on this topic. Man, HTC could use a guy like you. I would use your stuff for sure.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] xlGmanlx:
*Bump*

Don't give up on sense just yet as i can't get my exchange to work on any non-sense ROM so "it is what it is". Looking forward to seeing this
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Award Tour:
I have moved on to CM6 for now. I have a half completed theme which I think is one of the best Android themes I've seen ..but.. the sloppiness of Sense's layout caused a lot of frustration. Things that should have been easy to do were either impossible or had to use a ton of compromises.

For now I'm going to roll with CM6 but if 4G isn't addressed within the next month I'll move forward with completing this theme and releasing it publicly.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] mrcharlesiv:
Think you could release what you have thus far? I'm sure that whatever you have is much better than stock Sense. I'm on CM6 but would like sense for 4g support. It's just so damn ugly.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Award Tour:
Half of the theme is made up of blocks of solid color (it's how I identified what was what). I'd have to thoroughly go through the modified apks to get a usable day to day release. I wont do this now but I might in a week or two.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] mrcharlesiv:
Awesome. I appreciate the work, man.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] blkswanpres:
Maybe its because I am an android noob, but I tried CM6 and was surprised at how many things Sense changed, like in the menus and such. I didn't realize that the facebook integration (as in with the contacts) wasn't built into android, but Sense. I intend on trying CM6 again, maybe soon, but for now I would be ecstatic if you gave sense another shot.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Award Tour:
Actually, Facebook integration is in AOSP/Stock Android. I'm not sure if you actually need the facebook app to sync your contacts but the ability to have it sync into the stock contact app is there. And I prefer the stock phone + contact app combo to Sense's, though the phone app alone is better on Sense. I also always freaking hated how Sense injected a bunch of XML into the info section on your contact book. One thing I also noticed is that the sync in AOSP is two way, meaning that you get that contact pop up menu (call, sms, tweet, etc) inside of the official twitter/facebook apps for contacts that are synced. Sense may have had this but I definitely never noticed it.

After using CM6/Stock Android I don't think I'd ever come back to Sense. The more I look back at Sense (and what I wanted do with this theme), the more I don't want to even think about going back to fix it. Sense was just a overwhelmingly ugly attempt at making Android look like a dark iOS. AOSP/Stock may not be flashy but it works and feels good throughout the board. If I were to go back, I'd probably scrap half of what I did and try to assimilate Sense more into what Android is supposed to be. Like a dark (and very slightly glossy) AOSP theme. I really do believe that my theme was heading to become one of the best looking Android theme I've seen but it also deviated away from what I think Android is -- and it's not because I choose it to be that way but because I was strictly following the direction HTC took with Sense (sans the ugliness :)).

Either way, right now, I'm using a iPhone 4. I dropped my EVO and destroyed it's screen. I'll probably come back to Android, and if I do, it might be a Epic 4G this time.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Award Tour:
Since the syncing thing came up, funny enough, twitter is now broken on HTC Sense.

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] mrcharlesiv:
Ahh, poor Evo!!! That really sucks.

I don't want all of your hard work to go to waste though. If you'd like, I'd port everything that you have done thus far to CM6. Even if it's just the top bar I'm sure it'd look great.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] TJDuckett:
Why don't you, at very least, upload what you've done so someone else could finish it?

[Desire General] tommo123:
every now and then i've had the odd spontaneous reboot of my desire. i'm using neophytes at the mo but this time, was a bit more careful with restoring with titanium and only had 1 reboot over a little more than a day.

could it be probs with flashing rom on top of rom? apart from the 1st flash, i've always chosen to wipe data in rom manager.

do i need to wipe the sd card completely and repartition it, or does the wipe take care of the data on the ext partition?

i dont think it's over heating since the last reboot an hour or so ago, was when the phone was just resting in my coat pocket.

[Desire General] taylor162:
Hey,

I use opendesire 3.0.2 and im having serious battery drain troubles. I can barely last 5 hours without needing to get the charger. Ive tried many roms and they are all the same so im guessing its either an app causing it or my battery is broken.

I was just wondering whats the best way to see battery usage by app, ive tried spare parts (and *#*#4636#*#*) but that doesnt show much.

Also is it usual for display to have 80% usage for display?

Thanks!
[Desire General] matttytn2:
home screen, menu button -settings- about phone- battery
[Desire General] taylor162:
Had previously tried that. Thats what i meant by 80% for display, does that seem normal?
[Desire General] Lukehluke:
Depends on what else you have used.

Does sound a bit excessive though.
[Desire General] taylor162:
hmmm tbh think im just gonna order a new battery for 15 quid of play. Other people on the same rom report 30 hours or more, mine doesnt even come close if i underclock and barely use it! No harm in having a spare battery anyway!

[HTC Aria Themes and Apps] BatteriesIncluded:
Has anyone turned on the Root Options with this? If so, which ROM did you tell it you were using?
[HTC Aria Themes and Apps] projectDz:
I have it installed and it works great, 10x better than astro. My only grip is that astro had an option to "enable DL from web browser" that allowed me to email .apk files to myself and DL it from GMAIL. Unfortunately ES doesn't ahve that options.

Anyone know of other apps I could use that would do the trick?
[Vibrant General] MV10:
Anybody know what QuramSlideshow.apk does? I've noticed it in /system/app while de-bloating a few Vibrants. I'm kind of wondering if it's the player for the mysterious .qmg file formats (the boot-up animations).

There is even a Quram Software in Korea, whose "about" page has this interesting comment:

http://quramsoft.com/company/overview.asp

Are there decompilers for apk files? Or can they be analyzed as raw bytecode?
[Vibrant General] nbs11:
http://www.cs.cornell.edu/home/vavasis/qmg-home.html possibly, but I am assuming this is the project. If someone wants to compile the software it looks like we could edit it.
[Vibrant General] MV10:
No, that's an engineering analysis utility. Just a coincidence, but it's all you'll find if you only hit up Google with QMG.
[Vibrant General] Genesis1791:
QuramSlideshow.apk is the slide show app, for some reason the slide show feature of the gallery app is built as a different app all together. A simple rename of QuramSlideshow.apk made cause the slide show viewer not to pop up in the gallery app.
[Vibrant General] Phk:
So anyone knows how to produce\edit\view .QMG video files like the "bootanimation.qmg" ??

Thanks
[Vibrant General] MV10:
Not so far. Quram's Qmage codec (see URL below) is the codec for reading and writing QMG files but so far nobody has laid their hands on a copy to see what makes it tick.

http://quramsoft.com/solution_e/qmage.asp
[Vibrant General] cappysw10:
They may be good at producing a codec but not so great at proof reading!

"Recently mobile manufacturer trends to employee more images to support fashionable UI and multi-functions, which results in increasing costs of memory and degrading user’s experience in UI performance. "

employ maybe? :eek:
[Vibrant General] TakoFree:
lol :)

btw, any news on the case? anyone knows where i ican get a copy of the encryption software or something like that?

Thanks,
[Vibrant General] madkat:
Interesting, this one. Quram claim 80%-90% lossless compression. Really?

I did find some interesting StackOverflow posts that seem to centre around an image editing tool:

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5607318/intptr-causing-memory-leak

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5610294/opencv-memory-leak-issue

but we don't get any glimpse of compression, sadly. Whether this is related to the Qmage codec/toolset or not is anyone's guess.

I'm going to pull the QMGs off my Galaxy Tab and have a poke around with a hex editor, it COULD be really simple. There are a number of schemes you could use to get a variety of quick wins with low CPU compression. The key to working out the file format is to find the bits that couldn't be compressed first - they're likely to be a raw bitmap.

That's not a promise that anything can be done, though.
[Vibrant General] Dexrn:
Any update?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] benjio12:
Update: Added a few more apps and moved some things around. See below for changes.

I put this together for myself, but I figured I'd share it in case anyone else wanted it!

I got the idea from MagnusRagnarok and his Cyan Power-up. Thanks MagnusRagnarok!

The thing is, I didn't really like Cyan Power-up for two reasons: His inclusion of apps easily available from the market and his inclusion of a pre-installed theme.

I made this simply to put the Facebook/Market bug fixes, Gapps, and the CM6-Snap-4.1 Kernel in one zip instead of 3 plus another apk. I ended up adding a few small apps and a choice of keyboards! You know, for choices.

Just wanted something to make my nightly flashing easier, but not make too many changes to CM6 ;)

I noticed today there is a way to turn compache on/off in Cyanogen settings menu :)

Just flash this after the nightly in place of the gapps zip!

Includes all updated Google apps from Cyanogenmod downloads section.

CM6-Snap-4.1 Kernel (thanks jmxp69!!!)

Facebook sync fix

Market fix

Removed Twitter (added install in SD)

Added Hotspot toggle widget

Added Chrome To Phone

Added Root Explorer

Added LED Light + Widget

Added Orientation Lock Widget

Added Quickboot

Will create a folder on your SD card that includes the following:

(just install these with your favorite file explorer. Root Explorer is already installed now)

Swype (standard theme)

Swype Cyan themed

Swype Red (droid) Theme

Swiftkey

HTC IME (Sense) Keyboard (Install both files)

Fancy Widget

Skype Lite Beta 1.0.0.5

Sprint TV

Sprint Visual Voicemail

Twitter

Download:

[highlight]Mod Edit: Fancy Widget and Root Explorer cannot be included as they are not free. Please remove them from your package ASAP. [/highlight]

If you use Firefox like me and want some sweet Chrome to phone action, go here: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/161941/

You should also grab SetCPU to take advantage of the new kernel here: http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=355326&d=1278385677

This will probably make it into my next update, but until then, get it here!http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=744067 Thanks Shyfe! Good keyboard!

If you find any bugs or know of something cool I need to add, post it below! Thanks!! Also, if someone could provide a better mirror, that would be awesome!
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] beesneazy:
Was asked in the other thread, noticed in OP you moved things here.

Flashing after RC1 do the trick as well?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] benjio12:
Yeah, you should be fine with the RC1, or really any nightly now and in in the future, and probably Cyanogen's final release, as it is basically a modified gapps zip.

The only thing to worry about is if it's compatible with the CM6-Snap-v4.1 Kernel, which I believe has been compatible with every CM6 build so far.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] beesneazy:
Sweet, thanks and thanks for putting that Firefox link up too. Totally forgot there was a Mozilla one. ;) Then again, I have been using Chrome a bit more ... =/

Good **** though, good ****.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] jblazea50:
OP, you need to remove Root Explorer from this as it is a paid app and you are basically giving it away for free to whoever downloads it. This isn't fair to the developer as he/she'll will be losing out and this is similar to pirating.

Not trying to be a douche, but I've seen this before in the N1 forum as someone included a paid app in one of their roms. The developer was pissed off and had that person remove it immediately.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] nicholaaaas:
is the facebook fix just the apk in there?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] cmart4:
very cool... thank you
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] sprocket87:
I heard the Facebook fix isn't needed since their latest app?

Also, that the most recent nightly fixed the market issue without the trick.

Other than that this looks sweet, and good idea - I didn't want to use Cyan-power up for the same reasons. This is much cleaner (though I'm still not sure why you include some of those apps, I'd rather it just be the kernel + fixes).

Nice work!
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Decad3nce:
You need to quickly take down that zip. Root Explorer is a paid app. There's no place for app piracy on XDA, it's not tolerated.

EDIT: It's $1 dollar. Why don't you just make a recommendation page, no need for 'packages' that are full of software that isn't yours.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] MagnusRagnarok:
makes no sense to me why you would rip a bunch of my included apps out of my roms/themes and then up in one very similar package + a paid app like root explorer and then criticize what i chose to add to my work. i do this for ease of install so after a wipe you dont have to install 50 different zips to get your setup back. if you dont understand thats fine, just dont hack what i do and then criticize what i do here, i spend alot of time doing this to improve user experience.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] benjio12:
lol really??!?!! why man, why?

I mean come on.. I didn't criticize, I complimented, but noted that I didn't like the heavy theming and installing market apps to /system. Since you didn't offer any theme-free/market app-free version, I put something together for myself and decided to share it because I figured maybe someone else out there might also have the same view. I even gave you props in the OP.

I didn't rip anything from your package. Everything I had, I found elsewhere on XDA. To be honest I didn't realize that root explorer was paid, since I got it somewhere on xda. I figured the paid market link was for donation, similar to setcpu. I was wrong...

Which brings me to my final point. The download link does not exist. The package has been pulled and this thread is dead. Why you decided to post in the first place seems crazy to me, but whatever. It doesn't matter. My job has become overwhelming and I don't have time to maintain it.

Next time, if you've got beef with me over something ridiculous or otherwise, please shoot me a pm or contact a mod or something. To me that looks like a flame post, and I,for one, would like to keep the forums clear of this sort of thing. Thanks.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] knotrkr:
Hi,

In between owning android devices and my HD2 I used a Blackberry for a few months. What really impressed me was the wifi calling feature. I live at the bottom of a hill so I get horrible reception in my house and with the wifi calling on the blackberry I always had bars and I never dropped a call at home. My question is (and I really looked around ALOT on this and could find nothing), is there a way to enable the HD2 to have wifi calling? Meaning, get some signal bars from my wifi? If there isn't an app for it now I'd LOVE to see one. Is it even possible?
