Hey I have no problem with you.

You are entitled to your own opinions, you stressed that you appreciated my work and that you liked my ROM otherwise.

In any case I am happy to hear that this is working good for you, if you consider yourself picky or nitpicky, that makes it all the better! :D

I am glad to have you as a user of my ROM and opinions are fine. You did not insult me or anything so I have no reason to say anything negative.

I like that boot animation because I did the second part of it myself, I guess it isn't too bad considering my lack of Paint program skills lol :D

Please enjoy and yes that was added by a theme (The Smooth calendar).
[EVO 4G Android Development] ricsim78:
There a certain theme you used?

No idea why it isn't working, I have had no problems whatsoever with this ROM and Gmail has never FC on me. If you keep having issues, maybe a full wipe is in order (including SD:ext)

It may be something did not get cleared from your last ROM.
[EVO 4G Android Development] suprano:
lol..my bad going to flash again to c if its gonna work this time..thanks
[EVO 4G Android Development] jasonziter:
Ignore nice and sampling ????

I'm assuming keep at defaults???

No profiles right????

Also....when is the best time to reset battery stats ????

Full charge or when empty....I've seen people comment on both.

Thanks for everything man. This is really good stuff so far !!!!!
[EVO 4G Android Development] qendadar:
Did full wipe.. cache ...dalvik.. sd ext etc...

using the lowrider theme..

installed ROM... booted .. setup everything.. installed theme.. gmail FC'd
[EVO 4G Android Development] lowrider32119:
I have seen this before and the fix is to delete gmail with titanium and then reinstall from the market then reboot right after.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Trident:
Thanks. And thank you.

Ok, so can someone tell me how to either update or get rid of Smooth Calendar?

Uninstaller doesn't see it. Application manager won't uninstall it. Market won't update it. And I still don't see Root Explorer here (I found it in the market, but I'm not willing to pay $4 for it).

Ah. Got Titanium Backup to uninstall it. Yay. I can't install it at all now, but I guess it's been fine living without it. :rolleyes:
[EVO 4G Android Development] qendadar:
thanx... this was actually my next step I was about to try... rebooting in between uninstall and re install... will be back shortly with results... and hopefully a snapshot of my nifty new setup thanx to you guys!
[EVO 4G Android Development] cfrock:
Just curious, What problems are you having with the smooth battery mod?
[EVO 4G Android Development] ricsim78:
Inaccuracy and for some reasons I am having problems with trying to add other kernels to this ROM. Without the Smooth battery indicator, I can flash any kernel I want and no problems. Plus it tends to eat up battery a little faster.

Weird huh?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Trident:
Just so you know- not sure what is causing this- I had two instances today when I suddenly wasn't able to connect to the internet. One time, I was in my house and had a good WiFi signal. The next, I was out, but had good 3G & 4G signal. Both times, it was fixed with a reboot- but the reboot took a long time.

I also had the overlapping widget issue after one of the reboots- just the Fancy HTC clock.

Using KxKCFS#10. Otherwise, working great. O/c to 1152max w/SetCPU.
[EVO 4G Android Development] cfrock:
Agreed.

I couldn't even begin to guess why a batt theme element would interfere with kernel flashing. And batt drain is odd too.

I leave it in your very capable hands.
[EVO 4G Android Development] oshizzle1991:
fails at line 132. seriously 2/3ds of the roms i try fail. anyone know why? never ever happened before on my G1/MT3G/HD2. i'm nand-unlocked as well....
[EVO 4G Android Development] ricsim78:
I guess you can try a different root method or you may need to switch to Hboot version 0.76. You can do a search on here and find it, if not hit me back and I will help you find it.

Go into Hboot and look at the top, does it say S-off or S-on? If it says S-on, you have security still on. If S-off, use ADB shell and ensure you are rooted. If you get a $ after typing ADB shell, you are not fully rooted, if a # then you are.

Lastly, try flash a rooted version of a stock ROM and then try putting this back on. But do the other stuff first.

Let me know if this helps.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ricsim78:
Yeah, I have no idea why it would do that, but glad to hear it is not just me!

I am probably going to take down the link for Smooth battery indicator, I think it may be an incompatibility with the new 3.29 OTA update or something.

The newest version of Azrael (should be out by tomorrow for all of you :) ) has the Manup themed version of the stock one. It matches and works, want another? Flash whichever you want.

As I said, choice is good :)

Thank you and everyone else for the valuable feedback and seems like I am getting a lot of positives from my ROM. Makes me feel good for sure, plus motivates me to make it better and better.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ricsim78:
Could be your overclock, or could be the King Kernel # 10 is not the right one for your phone. Try reflashing the ROM without a different kernel and see if the problem goes away for you. If it does, it is your kernel choice. Sometimes kernel switching can cause problems like the ones you mentioned

Disable SetCPU and restart, see it is works. Also use the free program Cache Cleaner and run that. May help as well.

I can assure you it is not my ROM because it is an isolated incident and you are the only one so far having this problem. This is based on an actual OTA so headaches should be minimum.

Please let me know if the problem gets ironed out for you.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Trident:
I have a feeling you're right. I also had a random reboot when I tried making a call today.

It's a shame, because everything is genuinely faster/smother- but I need more stability.
[EVO 4G Android Development] oshizzle1991:
i know im rooted i flashed CM6 and like half of the other roms on this forum but like 2/3ds of them fail to boot in recovery. they dont install correctly. really limits the amounts of roms i am able to use
[EVO 4G Android Development] iknowsquat:
IMO, kernel success has as much, if not more to do with the device itself vs the ROM. Some kernels just dont play the same with every device due to the individual nuances in the CPU (as cited by ricsim78 and others). My device apparently gels really well with King's BFS #9. Flashed it from the start as I already knew the stock kernel included with the ROM is strong and it's been rock solid.

Try another kernel and IMO I'd forgo the OC, it's just not that big a deal as I see it.

When's the last time you reformatted your card? If you're having THAT much trouble with THAT many different ROMs I'd look there.

Your card is a common denominator across all those ROMs and something being corrupt on/with it could be the culprit.

Just a thought.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ricsim78:
Good news everyone! Azrael 2.1 is finished, I am currently uploading it, will be updating the first post very soon and you will be able to download it soon.

Version 2.1 is what I intended version 2.0 to be. I think that anyone who has enjoyed 2.0 should update to the new version. It has everything 2.0 had and much more.

Wait until you see my new custom boot animation. Thanks again to LovethyEVO for helping me figure out how to make it work!

I will be updating the first post within the next hour with the list of changes. Enjoy and hope you guys like it! :D
[EVO 4G Android Development] cdorrell12000:
Downloading 2.1 NOW :D As of 7:50CDT Up and running on 2.1. Looking great Thanks!!!!!
[EVO 4G Android Development] ricsim78:
It is ready to download everyone!

I posted the link and an optional mirror in case you have trouble with the main mirror.

Let me know what you think and please enjoy everyone! I hope you like my custom boot animation too, I like it...even with my not-so-great Paint.net skills! :p

It starts out with a familiar one, the second part I did by myself.
[EVO 4G Android Development] lovethyEVO:
I'll give this a spin sometime this week. Anytime on the bootanimation. That takes less time to work on compared to a theme (which I have been working on the past three weeks).
[EVO 4G Android Development] iknowsquat:
2.1 is looking great Bro!

Running smooth as buttah without wiping!! That's the first time I just wiped cache and Dalvik and then flashed. The ROM loaded no problems.

The boot animation looks great!

I'm running Kings BFS9 and all seems well.

One addition that I would suggest would be to downgrade the EPST so all ## codes work. Most do but ##775# does not (as example) This allows the PRL to be modified.

I wouldnt recook over that, just something to keep in mind for the future.

View attachment EPST.apk

Thanks!
[EVO 4G Android Development] ricsim78:
Thank you, I am glad you like it! :)

That is a great idea about the EPST. I like doing this stuff but it is a nightmare trying to keep everything as updated, usable, and optioned out as possible.

I will be releasing the next version possibly by the end of this month. There will be a LOT of changes and I may even release both a standard release (with both custom and stock Wallpapers/Sounds/Ringtones) and a "Director's Cut" version that is totally customized. I plan on making it more integrated (No need to download separate stuff to add them, will already be cooked in) but sometimes modular is good as well. Allows the user to download whatever he/she wants and keeps the ROM size smaller if the additions are not wanted.

For now, I want to wait to get more feedback on this. I did notice that for some reason some apps are not updated like they should be, but no biggie really. Takes a minute to update them and they will update again eventually anyhow.
[EVO 4G Android Development] oshizzle1991:
yeah good idea...it just takes forever hahah. i will do that tonight... thanks for the tip
[EVO 4G Android Development] iknowsquat:
Yup, saw that with the app update as well. No biggie at all.

Plans for two versions sound great.

Having a "blank" canvas for users to add what they want is a great way to go imo.

Choice is good (my favorite saying too ;) )
[EVO 4G Android Development] beret9987:
Awesome ROM! Loving the halloween look too xD, I was just curious though, where'd you find the theme for your ROM? I'm really liking it and would love to try it out on others. Thanks again!

[EVO 4G Android Development] dxtyle:
i gotta say it, ive been using al roms, and so far the best battery life i got is with this rom, all roms i got my phone 100% and 2 minutes later using it im at 98% with this rom, it took me 8 minutes of use to get the battery to 99% so well done man!!
[EVO 4G Android Development] lowrider32119:
Thanks ricsim I got 113 downloads just from here today!! So I gotta keep you fresh:D
[EVO 4G Android Development] ricsim78:
Thank you very much, that is nice to hear!

Not to toot my own horn, but I also get very good battery life from this ROM. I am a moderate to heavy user and I can get about 12 hours with Wifi and GPS on constantly and mixed use of apps, (a lot of) talking, and texting. That is the best I have done so far but I only made this yesterday. I will have to do a more controlled test and report my findings.

In any case, glad you like it! Enjoy!
[EVO 4G Android Development] ricsim78:
Wow, pretty good if you ask me. That is more than 20 an hour now :)

Keep me (us) fresh and appreciate you being the only one who helped me with the themes. I did the rest myself :cool:
[EVO 4G Android Development] ricsim78:
Getting a kick out of the tags people have added.

I wonder if I will get a "Sexual Tyrannosaurus" tag like King did on his kernel page? Haha :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] dxtyle:
well im a extreme user, imagine coming from blackberry and iphone, and all i was able to get was like 5 hours of constant use, and thats with 4G and locations off, so with this rom so far ive been using it with location on, and wifi on today and i got 9 hours and still on 47% so thats a hell of an improvement for me!!!
[EVO 4G Android Development] catseyenu:
Roger The full wipe, I have your awesome screen back!

So I should skip the "Batch Restore all missing apps and data"?

Which apps & data are safe to restore?

I'm hand jiving the apps/data one by one this time, it would be easier if I had a better understanding of Titanium Backups usage.

The info on TB here is scattered across all the different device forums.

I love that the noisy Sprint boot screen is no longer there to announce every boot to the world (read waking the girlfriend). ;-)

Thank you for your work, I'll be donating tomorrow when I'm not at work.
[EVO 4G Android Development] lowrider32119:
I def keep you guys updated!! So I can just wonder how many downloads your getting an hour :eek:

Nobody else helped? bunch of asses! I do understand to an extent cause you just get burned out real quick with all the little extras everyone wants and you just cant keep up. I understand if you donate which I hope your getting a ton of them but I always try to go out of my way for dev's because we allow everyone else to have choices and I may need some help from you soon :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] ricsim78:
I appreciate you throwing up that download link when mine went down thanks to being hammered!

I'll give you a little insight to what I do. This is for anyone who needs better understanding of Titanium Backup.

It is simple yet complex, you have to know the ins and out of what you are doing.

Batch restores are the fastest and most convenient, yet they can also restore stuff you do not want (stuff you removed, old backups, etc.)

Here is what I do to backup and restore my stuff. First I uninstall anything I do not want before I even do a backup.

Next I make a backup of all all my newer apps (using batch.) This way I always have the new updates for everything.

Then I do a batch restore missing apps+ data (not restore all system data+ apps), go over the list and uncheck anything you do not want reinstalled first.

Then finally I click on restore email account settings (be in green). I do it twice to make sure it takes.

That is it, all my stuff is restored and my system is still clean.

Restoring all Apps and data is useful if you are using the same ROM, but if you used a different ROM to make the backups...well it is usually going to do something you do not want it to do. (like restore stuff only the other ROM used, etc.)

Never restore your Sense screen, it works sometimes but usually not well. Play it safe with that.

You can have it restore your MMS, contacts, Email settings, and Wifi settings without issue.

Hope this helps you!

[EVO 4G Android Development] lljovell:
Just wondering, will I still get good battery life even without setcpu? Cause I don't know how to use it :p
[EVO 4G Android Development] ricsim78:
SetCPU is never needed, it is a good tool that allows you to adjust your phone's speed settings for either power or battery life. It is also very dangerous to play with if you do not know what you are doing.

Please read the guide in my signature, I cover SetCPU in the first and second post.

Before you use it, know what it does.
[EVO 4G Android Development] lljovell:
Thank you :)

Keep up the great work!! Thanks.
[EVO 4G Android Development] karatche:
Hope this hasn't been addressed befor but I can't find the values that you've stated on the 2nd post for set cpu. I see the up threshold and its at 95 by default but I cant figure out what / how to set the first value or where the 3rd and 4th values that you've listed are.

I read your 'common misperceptions' page and thank you for all the valuable info. I'm looking forward to usin this rom. I'm faily new to android so all the info I can get is good. I guess I can try the tweak you listed with the stock kernel I am using. It is 2.6.32.15-g0f673ed htc-kernel@u1800 Build 149#10 - Again sorry for the nube questions. Should I try another kernel? I'm mostly concerned for battery life but I havent tried your rom yet. Just flashed. Thanks in advance. And thanks for your work here.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ricsim78:
Don't be sorry, I was new once too and I still learn new things every day!

You need an overclocking kernel to get those settings, I suggest you try either KingClicks or Netarchy's. In my guide I mentioned starting from their latest (newest), then work your way back until you find one that works well for your phone. You can tell you have a good kernel for your phone when it is quick and you do not experience problems you did not have before changing kernels (this includes connection problems and the like).

I suggest you do some reading, even go to the kernel threads and ask some questions. Both King and Netarchy are good guys and they would be happy to help you I am sure.
[EVO 4G Android Development] catseyenu:
Thank you again RicSim, you nailed it on my backup mistakes.. I almost need to dump it all & start again.

Those instructions should be nailed to a wall somewhere for future reference.
[EVO 4G Android Development] catseyenu:
One or two more q's before I call it a night. May I buy a clue?

On my home screen "My Location" is showing insteead of the current weather. tapping it brings me to Desk clock instead of weather. A swipe from right to left brings weather into view with the correct information but I can find no way to point it to the home screen.

Also, what is the new icon next to the GPS icon at the top?

Thanks again!
[EVO 4G Android Development] ricsim78:
What the heck is an ear doing there? Lol that is a new one to me. NEVER seen that before. You sure you are using my ROM? :p

Did you by chance try and flash that circle battery icon with percentage linked about 20 pages back? I guess that is happening when you install it (puts an ear icon for some ungodly reason). This is why it is not on the mod list yet until the OP gets it working correctly.

Hold down on a blank part of the screen, select widgets and put Sync All on your screen. Tap that icon and it should update it all. That should do the trick but sounds to me like you flashed something over the ROM, weather should work when you tap it.

To me, you should really do a full wipe (data, cache, Dalvik, and SD:Ext) and reinstall. It sounds like you flashed something over the ROM that is messing with it. Please do not try and flash other stuff with my ROM if you are not sure what it does, you might get an ear :p

When I saw it I was like, "WTF is that?" :) You can always either link me or let me know what you want to add and I can check it out for you.

I did not really have any problems with my previous ROMS but I can say that I have yet to have a problem with this one at all. Most problems are caused by addons or incomplete wipes.

Hope this helps you, I was just giving you a hard time about the ear! lol :P (I tried that addon too and got the same thing, too bad because that battery icon looks nice!)
[EVO 4G Android Development] lljovell:
Tried flashing this rom, but it keeps aborting :(
[EVO 4G Android Development] catseyenu:
All I flashed (to my knowledge) was your ROM & Calkulin's splash screen.

It is a freaking ear growing out of my screen!? Lol!

I'll pull a new copy of the ROM & start over tomorrow when I'm fresh.

Thanks again!

I cannot make that for you, cannot program or theme really (though I can modify themes apparently). I can tell you that if you look in the 4th post in this thread, one of the themes uses that pulldown screen. I cannot recall which at this moment.

You got an incomplete download or you do not have enough battery power to flash it.

I can help with that!

It's the hearing aid icon.

No I dont use it :p

It could be an errant placement do to a mod you made but if you see it go to

Menu/Settings/Call

and make sure the hearing aid function is not enabled.
[EVO 4G Android Development] pamplinas:
Allright Thanks.
[EVO 4G Android Development] iknowsquat:
Yes, flash the fix and the theme the same way.

Even if you flashed the previous version I would still download and flash the newest (full) theme with the fix in place. The theme will just overwrite itself but will fix the icon for you.

This way you have the most up-to-date version for future use.
[EVO 4G Android Development] VDub2174:
Thanks!!

Now for the follow-up dumb question. Is the GMail fix only for the Lowrider theme? Could I flash v2.3 of the ROM and not have an issue with the icon?
