Yes, YAKST(Yet another kickstand thread), but I have searched the forums and nobosy has done this.

I recently purchased a dummy HTC Evo from ebay for 20 bucks(a), now the idea here is to take this thing apart and extract the kickstand assembly(b) from it and pry it on an HD2 rubberized case(c), and hopefully it'll look something like(HTCEVOHD2.jpg).

I'm going to buy some tools to get this done, I'm thinking a dremel type tool and a glue gun... any ideas are welcomed!
[HD2 General] dalethefarmer:
I will be using the instructions found here: http://www.ifixit.com/Guide/Repair/Installing-HTC-Evo-4G-Kickstand/3064/4

Will post actual pictures of the mod, maybe a youtube video... Check back soon, as I am impatient and will try to get this done in the next few days...:D
[HD2 General] josemedina1983:
I dont think the back of the Evo would work on the hd2 led flash are on different sides
[HD2 General] dalethefarmer:
I'm only using the kickstand assembly which can be detached, nothing else.

Well... Maybe the logo, if I can get it off...
[HD2 General] itsedstech:
cant wait to see how this comes out! good luck dude
[HD2 General] dalethefarmer:
Hey thanks... I did not anticipate how thick the kickstand assembly is, now I know why the Evo is a mini fridge... I need to get a tool to cut the rubberize case with precision, does anybody have any ideas what i should get?
[HD2 General] ronzogonzo:
yes, if you like to modify, hack, and customize stuff to your liking, then a dremel is definitely a tool you would like to have
[HD2 General] 2476629:
Hey any luck with this? i'd like to see what the results were. thinking about doing the same thing to my incredible that already has extended battery with tpu case as back cover
[HD2 General] cristorb:
This is very interesting. If you guys are looking for a stand take a look at my signature.
[HD2 General] kevvvhd2:
clever, nice idea - I'm gonna give that one a go! :)
[Vibrant General] Texag2010:
I use only google contacts in my phonebook and have them very organized with birthdays and all. What made me sad was the inability to sync my contacts info (mainly birthdays) to either the built in calendar or preferably the google calendar.

Does anyone have any idea if that is possible either with a setting or app...am I missing something? I thought android was all about integration and I'd think google contact data would naturally sync with google calendar data
[Vibrant General] Texag2010:
For anyone who is interested in the same feature (though no one replied so I doubt it), I found the solution.

Go to calendar on the browser and add an "interesting calendar." From there you can add a calendar with your contacts info.

If you want to see the results immediately just go on the phone now and sync the calendar. Hope this was helpful to anyone!
[Vibrant General] Droidicus:
I can't even begin to express how much this pisses me off. That BS is "feature phone" leftovers. When making a new calendar event I STILL cannot make my gmail account the default. Just another reason why I cannot wait for a fully functioning 2.2ROM..... MAN I HATE FEATURE PHONES.....

Oh, and to the post just before this one - I have no idea what the hell you just said....maybe its just me, but your post was incomprehensible...
[Vibrant General] dan0zone:
????????? Wow

cocaine is a hell of a drug. :.. :..

Then you should seek help. that stuff will mess you up. ;)

I was wondering if anybody has had problems with this app, I can't seem to get it to work on my evo. I've downloaded the BIOS, I tried 2 games 1 was a .bin and the other an .iso I'm running cyanogen 6.

I've only tried one game so far.. FF7

It was real choppy until I set the refresh in PSX to 30, runs great now though. Running CM6 also.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maxomus:
The higher the refresh the better it seems, I put my refresh on 60 and have blitz 2001 running like a champ. But some roms just won't run...

[Android Apps and Games] lamista72:
Ok, I know I am doing something wrong, but no idea what.

I have several Gmail imap accounts, and for some reason when I enable "push" email through k9 emails are delayed or not received/ sent at all. I know they work because androids stock gmail handler works just fine with them. I setup the proper gmail settings (at least I think I did):

imap.gmail.com

port 993 ssl on

smtp.gmail.com

I tried both tls port 587 and ssl.

no idea about the other settings needed.

Thanks in advance. :)
[Android Apps and Games] khaytsus:
Honestly never used GMail in K9, as I use my own webmail, but can you clarify which is it; they seem to be not push or never works? If you do a "Refresh mail" does it receive one ones? If so, Push seems to not be working. If it never gets mail, something's clearly wrong.

Your settings seem to be right for the incoming mail server, smtp server doesn't matter for receiving but you'll want to configure it at some point of course.

There is logging you can turn on which might shed some light, although I assume it goes out to logcat... You could use adb logcat, or alogcat from the Market.

The IRC channel on Freenode, #k-9 might also be able to directly help. I quickly looked at their Issues tracker and found nothing related to GMail being completely broken..
[Android Apps and Games] lamista72:
The best way I can explain it is this way:

In stock gmail handler I get notifications when I get emails..then I go check and it fetches the emails when I go to the inbox (automatically or something), and its virtually instant

When i run test with k-9 sometimes I get notified within a minute..sometimes 10..sometimes never...and until I get that notification the email never shows up in my inbox in k-9..but I check my pc email and it pulls it just fine (also set to imap). So I must be off on some sending to make push email work properly with k9
[Android Apps and Games] lamista72:
think I got it working....one question though...since all my accounts are "push" do I need to have "poll while pushing" enabled?..I wouldn't think so..I am guessing thats for accounts that you may have that are pop
[Android Apps and Games] khaytsus:
What did you change to make it work?

And no, Push is to get mail instantly, Poll is to get mail periodically... Say you want to sync your Sent mailbox is one example.. You don't want it instantly, but you might want to reference it later.
[Droid Incredible General] BigTankofATL:
I had a stock Incredible. I got anxious and decided to do the RUU instead of waiting on the OTA. Now I want to root. Can I do this now or do I have to wait until somebody figures how to root 2.2?
[Droid Incredible General] MMBosstones86:
fairly certain you have to wait until someone roots 2.2.

Best way would've been to root, forever, then update and reinstall CWM Recovery
[Droid Incredible General] sarx:

Is there a solution for it :confused:
[Droid Incredible General] Ops_Man:
Alright chaps, I would appreciate your posting to this thread as soon as you hear about rooting after the update on the 27th.

I am stock all the way and wished I had rooted prior to update. Lesson learned.

I just want root on new stock update. Hopefully I'll have root soon.

Thanks.

[Droid Incredible General] mikeymop:
After the updates roll out, if I flashed an image of the full stock 2.1 would I still beable to download the update?

Or is there any hopes of somebody making a full image of the 2.2 stock?
[Droid Incredible General] Ops_Man:
I received my update Saturday morning at around 8:30 a. m.

I have never rooted, so the steps provided will work nonetheless. I can go back to 2.1 and then root to 2.2 rom. Is this correct, I am told on other forums this will not work.

[Droid X Themes and Apps] acidbath5546:
Great job...I love vanilla myself, so I am happy :)

Can You package it into and easy Update. zip? GF stole PC ..lol
[Droid X Themes and Apps] jvward:
Hey Quick Question,

Any chance you could put a semi transparent background on the notifications window? so that it would look similar to CM?

Also does this update the lock screen? to replace those dumb looking black lock things?

BTW this is pretty ****ing awesome as is, sorry I forgot to say that :)
[Droid X Themes and Apps] phimuskapsi:
Yeah I did this as a favor in just a few minutes this morning. When I get home I'll patch the services.jar for the FroYo transparency fix.

I'll also look into the red buttons and such, that is probably being referenced by an xml somewhere that I have to replace from the SDK
[Droid X Themes and Apps] kejar31:
Cool here are some screenshots of a few other things I have noticed to help you get this cleaned up

Some of the red highlights are still present such as the dialer buttons

When in a call the top notification bar goes all black and is unreadable

Some of the font colors are incorrect on the buttons when they should be black they are instead white

Here is a screenshot of the music player as you can see it has both the red highlight and the incorrect colors on the buttons

If at all possible I would also looooovvveee to see rounded corners on the notification bar :-)

Also I just wanted to add a big thank you to you for doing this... This is awesome of you!!!!!
[Droid X Themes and Apps] phimuskapsi:
Thanks for your exhaustive reporting of problems!

I'll be fixing most of these issues tonight after work!
[Droid X Themes and Apps] johnclevenger:
Thanks, this is awesome. Aside from the issues mentioned above, everything else seems to be pretty damn perfect. Great job.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] johnclevenger:
Again, this theme is awesome. I'm very much looking forward to the bug fixes.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] phimuskapsi:
Probably tonight. I was running into issues getting the keypad to work. The problem is there are some "motorola only" images in the res.apk and I have to find the XML's where they are called and either remove them or point them to the proper "vanilla" xml's.

Once I figure that out it's just a matter of compiling it and releasing it!
[Droid X Themes and Apps] johnclevenger:
That's great news. I can't seem to find anywhere to donate to you, is there a link?
[Droid X Themes and Apps] phimuskapsi:
I'll put a link up tonight. Have it all setup, just haven't linked it yet. As the projects are 'incomplete'. Thanks for wanting to though! Keep an eye out for updates!
[Droid X Themes and Apps] benclayton:
Has anyone tried this on a 2.1 device? I'm really hurting for a vanilla theme.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] johnclevenger:
Below is a link to a 2.1 version. It suffered from the same shortcomings as the current build of this 2.2 version. The developer did make a version with a patch which simply darkened the text boxes to make the text more readable.

http://alldroid.org/default.aspx?g=posts&m=8721#post8721
[Droid X Themes and Apps] phimuskapsi:
I am working on the text. Been pretty busy with a lot of stuff so progress slowed for a bit. I should have a fix out soon.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] johnclevenger:
No rush, man. You're doing a lot of good work and I know things get prioritized. Keep it up.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] benclayton:
So, will this technically WORK on a 2.1 device? I like this theme's notification panel and battery a lot more. The other seems to be a tad blurry.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] phimuskapsi:
Got the text/dialpad working. Will put up tested files tonight or tomorrow morning!
[Droid X Themes and Apps] johnclevenger:
Great news.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] phimuskapsi:
Updated with a bunch of fixes!
[Droid X Themes and Apps] acidbath5546:
Good stuff man...only issue with new version is that date and time in notification bar are off white and hard to see.

Other than that its great :)
[Droid X Themes and Apps] kejar31:
What happened to the dialer and the tabs, they have a orange hue now? And the dialer buttons are all light grey now? the tabs on your first one were perfect and the only thing that needed to be changed was the red hi-lights (the needed to be orange)
[Droid X Themes and Apps] phimuskapsi:
Dialer should have white buttons like the ready of the theme. Phone is not finished. As for the tabs I changed one image that I want stopped to be changed. They will be back to normal in next build, but buttons and dialpad will be silver with a transparent bg. Thanks for the feedback!
[Droid X Themes and Apps] kejar31:
But the vanilla dialer doesn't have white buttons it looks like this
[Droid X Themes and Apps] jvward:
Just curious are the lock screens back to vanilla in this?
[Droid X Themes and Apps] johnclevenger:
Sweet. Thanks for the update. The transparency and text boxes look great.

Kejar31 is, though, right about the dialer. The vanilla dialer's theme is quite close to blur. The only thing that needed to be changed was the highlight colors. The new, lighter dialer is hard to read and a bit jarring on the eyes. I understand completely if you personally like the lighter dialer, but in that case perhaps you could fork the two projects and have one theme as close to vanilla as possible and another that's quasi-vanilla? I don't know, just a thought.

Thanks again for all your work. You've made it farther on this project than anyone else; congrats.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] acidbath5546:
Here is another Update.zip with the newest updates of ur theme for easy install.

Hey All,

Three Things.

1. Just wanted to say as of now your work on this is totally ****ing awesome!

2. I do agree with most I am not sold on the orange :)

3. Just in case anyone was wondering like I was this does not remove the ugly verizon lock screen as of this point.

Thanks!
[Droid X Themes and Apps] phimuskapsi:
Got the dialer fixed. As for the jog tabs I'm looking into changing them.

Anything else?
[Droid X Themes and Apps] kejar31:
What with the dialer was fixed?
[Droid X Themes and Apps] phimuskapsi:
Changed it back to black buttons, yellow press/focus colors. Fixed delete tan. Haven't updated yet want more changes in it.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] kejar31:
That sounds frigging awesome man :) You get this out today and I will be happy to buy you a beer via Paypal. If you wanted to add something else you could add rounded top corners on notification bar cause that would be super sweet
[Droid X Themes and Apps] phimuskapsi:
I'll try and round them.

As for the BlurPhone. I should have it out tonight. Just went through and made sure the action buttons and stuff are all set. Couple more graphics to change and the Phone will be Vanilla thru and thru.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] jvward:
Hey any chance you coil vanilla out the lock screen
[Droid X Themes and Apps] phimuskapsi:
It's on my list of things to do after vanilla'ing the dialer completely. But it's gonna be a pain. Moto has specific "jog_tab" images (like the ringer or unlock tab). Android uses generic sliders with a spot cut out for the lock/ringer images. So...I'll have to edit some XML to get this working, but it is on my list.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] acidbath5546:
Random issue I just found...Theme makes Text unreadable in my IMDB App.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] phimuskapsi:
Big update my friends :)
[Droid X Themes and Apps] drewden123:
You know, as many advancements as you are making, you're almost on your way to making your own Vanilla rom...you should contact birdman or p3droid about tranquility/flyx...those roms couple with your work could be the ingredients for a nice stock rom. Just a thought. Keep up the great work.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] phimuskapsi:
Oh I've been thinking about it. I'll see if any of 'em approach me after my tweet to them about this release ;)

Update.zip coming soon!
[Droid X Themes and Apps] kejar31:
Sweet the update looks great!!! I am at my girlfriends for the night so the only way I will get to see it before tomorrow is if you release the update.zip... :) eitherway you will be seeing beer money in your account tonight

Wish I could give more though....justin
[Droid X Themes and Apps] johnclevenger:
I haven't played around with it a lot yet, but it's great man. Really, wonderful job.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] Eckspunge:

Updated instructions

I noticed you tell everyone to place the files in the /sdcard/vanilla directory but haven't updated some of your instructions to reflect this. Here are some updated instructions that you are more than welcome to put in the OP

Notice:

I changed the location of the services.jar file in these instructions

Then

Notice:

I changed the locations of both apk's and renamed the vanilla.apk to frameworke-res.apk which is what you have it named on the download

Last

no changes made here :)

bugs

OK I know I am getting extremely picky now, but hey when your this close to something perfect you might as well go all the way :p :D

Here's a picture of the original dialer

and now here is a picture of your updated one

1st....

Notice the line directly under the tabs and how on the original it's gray and matches the selected tab. Now look at the updated dialer and notice the how it is white......

this issue doesn't only effect the dialer either, it affects anything that uses the standard tab layout in Android such as Tapatalk

2nd....

Notice the buttons on the bottom (the ones with voicemail messaging and call)

The call button seems to large on your dialer as it slightly overlaps the ridges on either side and also seem to be ever so slightly larger on both the top and bottom.

Also notice how the rounded corners of the voicemail and the messaging button are ridged and not smooth like the originals.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] phimuskapsi:
Good catch on the rough edges. I actually didn't restore the originals, just changed my colors from white to a darker scheme. I changed the text to White on purpose.If you notice the grey tab from the original dialer, you can't read the text on the "selected" tab!

White is readable in any state, normal, pressed or selected.

@acidbath5546 - I have not seen that problem. I'll test it on my lunch break!
[Droid X Themes and Apps] kejar31:
bugs

OK here are also a couple of very miner issues I have noticed

on progress bars I have notice that highlights on those bars seem to still be red. Here are a couple of screen-shots to show you examples...

music player....

video player....

and last but not least the browser...
[Droid X Themes and Apps] johnclevenger:
I haven't had any network issues either.

Just a few minor bugs:

I understand wanting to make text on the selected tab visible, but this has some odd consequences. See how the text looks too big for the tab? And, as kejar mentioned, the white line under the tabs is present in a lot of apps including the music player, manage tabs, phone, etc.

I also noticed that, for some reason, this text in the battery manager is still white on a grey box. I'm not sure if it's like this in some other places, but I thought I'd let you know.

Finally, I noticed that in menus where a circle with a little carrot is used (above) the carrot is light instead of dark. I've seen this in a few menus, though autostarts was the first to come to mind when I had drocap going.

Again, these are minor bugs. The theme is great man; it's really coming along.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] kejar31:
Dialer fixed

I hope you don't mind but I took it upon myself to fix the dialer you modded and thought I would share it.

I take no credit here this is simply a version of the dialer the OP released with a few png's chaged all of which were taken from the phone.apk out of a cynagenmod build

Here is the screen-shots

1st... the original

and now mine with the png changes

And for the apk!!

blurphone.apk
[Droid X Themes and Apps] drewden123:
hey phimuskapsi, this issue can be found in the progress_horizontal.xml or something close to that name in framework-res/res/layout i believe (could be wrong on the path). I'm sure you could just swap it out with the xml from the aosp files instead of hex editing it.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] phimuskapsi:
I don't hex edit colors, I have another method. The progress bar is actually an image somewhere, I just haven't changed it yet. I'm working on writing changes to xmls right now to change the slide lock, I'll take a look at t the progress bars. As for all the other minor bugs, they will be fixed, thanks for the extensive notes, I may pull the blur phone package and use it as my own too, and I'll give you credit if I do.
