[EVO 4G Android Development] Product F(RED):
If you try to flash ROMs that use the older script or addons that use the older script, they won't flash and you'll get that message. I'm not talking about CM's stuff specifically. I'm talking about other things.
[EVO 4G Android Development] _Cooze_:
I've been down this road before too, and although its a pain in the ass, my advice is to do a complete wipe on the phone.. Flash caulkins format_all.zip, then also wipe cache/dalvik/data (hell, do it twice in the same recovery) and start fresh.. I was a flashing whore back in the day to the point where my phone was unresponsive for hours at a time.. this is what worked for me.
[EVO 4G Android Development] _Cooze_:
Yeah I understand.. I guess when CM's stuff went to needing CWM3, the update showed up in Rom Manager, people updated it, then didn't understand why nothing would flash with it.. Even though it's only really NEEDED for a few of the devs roms and other things, almost everybody updated their CW in Rom Manager anyway. At least thats how it worked out in my head as to how it all happened, lol.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ageesm:
You don't. I use AR and am on CM7 right now. As Fred said, it is completely illogical to me to not have backwards support. On the whole, I would say various themes and add-ons are about half and half with the two update scripts. Obviously any CM stuff is using the new script. I have started making mine with the new one as much as I can so people don't complain about it not working with CWM3.
[EVO 4G Android Development] _Cooze_:
Ah, well then I'm mistaken.. thanks :o I guess it's compatable with both..
[EVO 4G Android Development] cb7tuner93:

[EVO 4G Android Development] androidrookie84:
SO this rom has 4G?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Rattor:
Seriously, what more can he do for a stable ROM based off an OTA Sprint update?

Yes it does.
[EVO 4G Android Development] lowetax:
and more !
[EVO 4G Android Development] tommytomatoe:
Although it is illogical and inconvenient (for those who use it), the CWM is based on google stuff, which dropped the Amend update-script after 1.5 or something like that. So, being based on the newer recovery image strictly from Google, it makes sense the old scripts are left out. But either way, go ahead and use amon_RA all you newcomers! I think we all here recommend it!

[EVO 4G Android Development] tommytomatoe:
Congrats KB! Didn't realize you had a little girl!

On another note, added a couple of clock mods:
[EVO 4G Android Development] slippers67:
Has anyone ever fixed the GPS acquisition animation icons in the task bar? They've looked slightly off since RLS4, and even the Z uses the same ones. Minor irritation...but I lack photoshop skills. :(
[EVO 4G Android Development] jbermi:
i rather llike those...BUT ever since i started using simi clock, i have not used a flip clock.

kids...anyone need one? i have some extra to spare. :p
[EVO 4G Android Development] tommytomatoe:
Thanks! I don't use them either. hehe. I use minimalistic text widget. It's awesome and I love it. I can't wait to settle down with my theme and start making my phone my own again. Right now I only have one homescreen used and all it has is the clock, xda app, mail, and messages. :-|

hehe
[EVO 4G Android Development] Product F(RED):
So I was looking at the Evo 3D and thinking, "I don't really play games on my phone [battery life], I don't really care about 3D, and this thing is probably going to be $250+ on contract". Then it hit me that, aside from the plasticky feel, the Nexus S 4G might be up my ally. But THEN it hit me that if I'm running CyanogenMod on my Evo, there's really no need to upgrade to a Nexus S since I have 2 LED lights, a removable SD card, a kickstand, larger screen, an 8MP camera with dual-LED flash, and extended battery.

I think this is a first time in a while that I've stopped and thought before going "GIMMIE GIMMIE GIMMIE" for a gadget lol.
[EVO 4G Android Development] androidrookie84:

[EVO 4G Android Development] Product F(RED):
Probably, yeah. I'm 19.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ageesm:
I knew you were in college, I am a few years out. I had resigned to the fact I wouldn't be able to get the 3D without paying full price, but I do enjoy/agree with your glass half-full look at it :).

As long as there is still development for the EVO, which there should be, we will be just fine.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jbermi:
young'un. :P

i was having similar thoughts...and if they truly do release GB w/ Sense for the EVO when the 3D comes out..i may hold off on the 3D...well maybe not get it at launch, maybe wait and see how it goes and see if it continues the new HTC trend of locking down bootloaders like the incredible s and thunderbolt.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Lord Darth Vader:
OK, I think I flashed Amon Ra's recovery correctly, because I was then able to flash the update font zip. Now I'll see if I can read the text for a change. It sucks when one passes 40 and the reading eyesight goes. :p

Swapping dialers

I'd like to pull the dialer out of Koni's ES2 Rom and put it in RLS5 Rom. I tried extracting phone.apk and htcdialer.apk from the rom zip and pushed them to system/apps with no success. I just get forced close.

I'm looking for some suggestions on how to go about swapping out a dialer.

I don't have a particularly good reason for wanting to do this other than I liked the look of that dialer and would like to import it to this rom. Is there an easy way to do it?
[EVO 4G Android Development] jbermi:
i might be wrong...but from my understanding the dialer is rather tied in and dependent on the framework, hence why if you flash a dialer not meant for 3.70 framework, it will mess things up. just pushing those files to your phone won't do it, there is more to it, other resource files within the framework, that those files are looking for, and aren't there so that is why its force closing.

somewhere, i think lowetax or someone else has a stock dialer that works you can flash.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ageesm:
The dialer encompasses htcdialer, phone, and htc.resources apks. There are both pngs and xml files to edit. The pngs are easy, the xmls can be a bit more involved.

Take a glance here and see if it is above your head or not :). Btw, that is the gentleman that created the theme for Myn ;). I am fairly busy these days, but I can look into porting it over if I have some time.
[EVO 4G Android Development] lowetax:
if you have no luck, tommytomatoe has stock dialer that doesn't mess up all that other stuff :)

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=959235

and if you open that up, wouldn't that show you what is being changed ?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Steve98124:
Thanks for the help! I'll study the link you provided tomorrow and see how far I can get. I've been playing around with pngs, adb, ninjamorph, framework etc but I have not gotten into the xml files. It very well may be over my head but I'm really just doing this for fun. There is so much help and information here I sometimes find that being in over your head isn't always that much of an obstacle.:)
[EVO 4G Android Development] Steve98124:
Good suggestion, that's a great place to start. Maybe I could swap some parts from the dialer I want into TommyT's stock dialer zip. Koni's dialer might be based on a stock dialer, if it is it might work. We'll see........
[EVO 4G Android Development] dani4365:

Don't you all just love the response from this community? I love it! It's nice to see this thread have some action again. We've been kinda quiet the last week or so...

Steve, I'll see what I can do about your dialer. I am writing a lab report right now, then I have lab then lecture. But in between I have a little break. I'll see what I can do you ya. I'll shoot you a PM when I am finished. Everyone who responded was correct. HtcDialer.apk, Phone.apk, and com.htc.resources.apk. I am pretty sure Koni's Rom is sprint 3.70 based. Actually I am positive. Is there a difference between the dialer in Elite Series 3 and 2? I can't find a linky to ES2 so I might have to pull from ES3. Let me know Steve!

How can I downgrade my clockwork recovery? I have the 3.0 clockwork and it doesn't let me install any of this rom updates
[EVO 4G Android Development] tommytomatoe:
I believe you can do it rom manager...but since you're changing anyways, why not upgrade to amon_RA recovery supersonic? It supports both old Amend and new edify scripts for updates.

Disclaimer, not to say that CWM is bad, it just seems to give people more problems than amon_RA, which has been perfect since day one for me, v1.8.0
[EVO 4G Android Development] dougjamal:
You can indeed downgrade via ROM Manager, but I agree with Tommy about flashing amon RA.

[EVO 4G Android Development] texasez:
Has anyone had any experience using wireless tether or the hotspot on Rls5.

I am curious on how long you can tether using 3g or 4g signal. My daughter is considering buying a tablet and using the evo for the wireless link. I have used tether for a few minutes but not much longer than that. She is going to use the tablet to score a little league baseball game and then upload to the internet. Wireless use would be limited somewhat by the fact that the tablet would not be uploading constantly.

Any help would be appreciated.

A little league game is time limited to 1 hour and 45 minutes.
[EVO 4G Android Development] dougjamal:
Many of us were ClockworkMOD fan boys when we first rooted our devices and, like many noobs today, I had no intentions of swapping for amon RA nor did I see a reason to. I was completely satisfied until v. 2.6.x.x or something like that. Many of us started having problems with flashing and wiping. That is when many of us switched over to amon RA. I experienced a few occasions where amon RA didn't wipe properly, but the corrections were quickly remedied. I've been an amon RA user ever since.

[EVO 4G Android Development] dougjamal:
I used it almost daily up until yesterday when I finally had Roadrunner internet service installed and I can tell you that the Wireless Tether app works very well, especially while connected to 4G. The hotspot app works well, but unless you're paying Sprint, you're limited to 3G. Why use it when you can use the Wireless Tether app to tether your devices with encryption via 4G for free? As for the amount of time, I cannot answer that. I've been tethered for no more than an hour and a half to two hours tops and I didn't experience any drops or anything like that.

Has anyone had issues with 4G auto-toggling itself on reboot or after turning off Airplane Mode?
[EVO 4G Android Development] tommytomatoe:
Correct me if I am wrong but I remember this is a problem and known bug with the widget pull down if you use it. JsChiSurf talks about it in his thread.
[EVO 4G Android Development] dougjamal:
You are correct, my friend. If the user uses the 4G toggle to initiate or disable 4G, the results will be 4G re-initiating itself upon reboot or boot. Using the other goggles from the notification panel pull down menu *can* have the same results. To rectify it, enable and disable via the settings menu. Personally, I prefer to not have the toggle menus there until that particular bug has been eliminated.

yup, it was the initial CWM 3.0.0.0.0.0.0 release that Neil told us to jump on! :)

how are you Neil !

that was one crazy time - for both recoveries - but especially CWM.

despite the devs saying use RA, a lot of us were CWM fanboys -

it had always worked well with no issues.

after my brick - but then eventually a pulse - and back to life again experience with my EVO during that changeover time, i bought amon_ra some red bull, so i use his recovery which works well.
[EVO 4G Android Development] DowntownRDB:
I have use both wireless tether and hotspot. My preference is wireless tether and I normally use it with 4G, but I have used it with 3G in areas where 4G wasn't available. On a recent trip to my beach house I used wireless tether and 4G to maintain internet connectivity for my desktop, laptop and neighbors laptop for a little over 4 hours. EVO did not overheat and no problem for my 3500 battery. Little league game should be a piece of cake to cover. Viva Texas!

My battery is draining so much on this rom,what's wrong? I went from 89 to 67 in one hour,I installed the battery fix for this rom but the battery is still draining fast.
[EVO 4G Android Development] dougjamal:
What battery fix did you "install", if you don't mind me asking? Also, it is hard for anyone to determine what is precisely causing your battery to drain quickly. Some notable reasons are wakelocks (especially if you have baseband 2.15.00.11.19 & PRI 1.90_003), weak Sprint voice/data signal and usage, to name but a few. Check to make sure your phone is sleeping properly. If not and if you have the above listed baseband/PRI combination, downgrade the baseband to 2.15.00.09.01 and see if that helps.
[EVO 4G Android Development] androidrookie84:
How do I downgrade the baseband? and check to see if my phone is sleeping?

[EVO 4G Android Development] barleysoda:
Interesting...I always thought we should downgrade the PRI to 1.77_003 if we were having issues. I didnt realize the baseband might need down grading as well. I am currently running 2.15.00.11.19 and my battery life isnt exactly great. Might have to downgrade to 2.15.00.09.01. Are there any side effects like slower or weaker 3g signal strength? Its been awhile since I messed with the radios so I cant remember how 2.15.00.09.01 was running.

You are correct. Most people who downgrade due to battery life complaints indeed downgrade only the PRI from 1.90_003 to 1.77_003, however, I've done both without any problems and the performance, at least in my experience, is pretty much the same. You still need to update your profile no matter which options you choose. Thanks for the response, my friend. Enjoy the rest of your day..;)

honeycomb is still not meant for smaller screens. ice cream will be the next one for phones that will include a lot of the stuff from honeycomb. I don't think what google is doing is a bad thing, but it might not be the best practice compared to how they have handled the other releases of android, gingerbread itself is not widely available on phones at all unless you are rooted. I m taking the whole wait and see, because i am quite happy with my stable RLS5 warm 2.2...
