As always, happy to help.

New features rock! Lovin R2D2 notificaiton and OMFG-the flaming, screaming, horned Satan WP is S.I.C.!!!!

The other new ones you added rock also.

Schweet about Lowrider! Yet another option--as the old saying goes..

Choice is Good!

Awesome. Glad you're up and running.

EDIT: While all Manup theme elements seem to be present it seems that the Google search bar is back to it's stock look. Can anyone confirm or is it just me? No biggie just curious.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ricsim78:
Yep, Manup theme's Google search bar will be written over when you get the update installed for it. A pity, I wish he would update his theme because I like it too.

Good news everyone! All themes are posted and links are ready to go! LowRider32119 was nice enough to do a version that does not overwrite stuff for both his 2.42 and 2.52 beta so now his theme is available as an option as well!

So now:

LowRider 2.42

LowRider 2.52 beta

Manup Revolution

Matted Blues

Carbon Fiber

..are all working with my ROM and my versions allow you to keep my animations, wallpapers, and boot animations intact.

Riptide9: Still a no go. The stock theme works but my attempts to modify it and keep it "safe" for my ROM have proven to be frustrating. All I do is change it so the animations are safe for my ROM and it bootloops.

But I think you all have a lot more options available now than before. I am now going to upload the alternate fonts. Now you can have my ROM, have it your way, and still keep everything working :)

Win in my book! I am glad you like it!
[EVO 4G Android Development] ricsim78:
Alright! All themes, fonts, and links are ready to go. Download at will!
[EVO 4G Android Development] GuAcHi:
you sir are my new idol lol

I'll have somethin good 2 show ppl when I go 2 the dominican republic in 2 weeks :D
[EVO 4G Android Development] Helton566:
Well the carbon fiber theme worked great. The other 2 had the same problem as the rip theme. It added a second Twitter account and won't sync with friend stream.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ricsim78:
Which theme? There is a few there now :)

It has to be your setup, it works fine for me (I tested FriendStream with all the themes and everything works).

It sounds like your phone is not wiping all of the data correctly.

You might want to backup your SD card using the PC and reformat it. This can help clear problems like you are having. If that doesn't help, make sure you are wiping SD: Ext in your recovery; go to the partition menu and repair the SD:Ext just to make sure.

It sounds to me like you are coming off a ROM that used Darktremor's Apps2SD (if you used Azrael 2.1 or 2.0, they both had that). Using that can cause some apps to stay on your SD card, causing problems like you listed.

Are you using RA or Clockwork for your recovery?

I tested Friendstream with each ROM and was able to use Facebook, Twitter, and Flickr with no problems at all. This is with each theme posted.

The Browser problem is fixed, tethering works still for me, and all other reports of problems are no longer there.

Keep me posted.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Helton566:
Ok will try that. I will let you know.
[EVO 4G Android Development] dezel29:
...ty for an excellent ROM bro
[EVO 4G Android Development] wsantiagow:
Is anyone else having issues downloading the ROM itself from the mirrors posted? Ive tried in different browsers and on different networks. The downloads stop at 15% or 27 MBs i believe. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

They are working now, "mirrors"
[EVO 4G Android Development] Swoleone:
So question, if i install riptides clear theme on this rom it will work but it will take away the boot animations.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Novarider:
Can someone please tell me how to install the aosp browser. I Like the one that's just called "browser" not internet
[EVO 4G Android Development] THunDA:
probably.. do a nand and try it.. the worst case you take a few mins and nand back if it dont work. The themes posted in the first post are modded to not remove anything Ricsim78 put in.
[EVO 4G Android Development] VDub2174:
Currently using the Riptide theme but I'm gonna try out the Lowrider theme when I get home. Loveing the update btw!!
[EVO 4G Android Development] ricsim78:
Good to hear and I am glad you like it! LowRider is an awesome guy and makes a great theme too.

I put a link to DSP Manager, an EQ that you flash through recovery. It allows you to tweak the sound output from the speaker, headphone jack, and Bluetooth headsets.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Novarider:
Can you post a way to replace the browser with the aosp browser please. The one called "browser"
[EVO 4G Android Development] ricsim78:
Ask and you shall receive! Here you go. Please see HERE for instructions on how to install it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Novarider:
thank you for posting it but how do I install it? I try with root explorer and it asks if I want to replace a system process and I click yes but when it tries to install it fails. How do I install it?
[EVO 4G Android Development] ricsim78:
Let me check it out. Get back to you soon.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ricsim78:
You need to push them using ADB, which makes sense. Please check this post out for instructions HERE
[EVO 4G Android Development] alammori:
ricsim70,

First thank you for the extra ordinary rom build, second find a solution for the aosp browser here: xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=667506
[EVO 4G Android Development] ricsim78:
Thank you very much, already have it covered but whatever works. :D

I updated the first post with a link to Browser and basically any other AOSP element that works with Sense. If you want AOSP stuff check out the link I put on the first page for Browser instructions.
[EVO 4G Android Development] YANKEES10:
So i loaded the rom no prob i tried 2 themes and both go into bootloops i wiped as normal. I tried lowerrider and blues one anyone know why i get the bootloop i am using ra 1.8.0
[EVO 4G Android Development] Novarider:
I fleshed revolution without a problem
[EVO 4G Android Development] ricsim78:
Very strange, I tested them all and no bootloops here.

Trying wiping your SD: Ext and try wiping the cache and Dalvik twice. Another thing to try is go into partition SD card (do not format without backing it up first) and select repair SD:EXT. See if this helps.

I am able to freely go from one theme to another. It looks funky when you do but it is possible for me.

Let me know, hope this helps!
[EVO 4G Android Development] YANKEES10:
any reason why when i try to wipe sd card is says wipe through adb and i wipe both again and it worked after i loaded the rom first and set up everything thanks our rom is the best by far and i have tried everyone. Which theme do u like the best
[EVO 4G Android Development] ricsim78:
Maybe your battery is low or sometimes it does that as a fail safe.

My personal favorite is Manup Revolution (I think it matches the theme of the ROM the best) but they are all good in their own way. LowRider is really awesome, as is Carbon Fiber.
[EVO 4G Android Development] YANKEES10:
im on full charge odd ill try manup thanks for your help
[EVO 4G Android Development] ricsim78:
Today I start work on the Director's Cut edition.

I will list the changes on the second post. It will not be radically different, but it will be further enhanced and stripped down.

I highly suggest everyone download Spare Parts from the market and adjust Transition animations to "fast". It will make this ROM even snappier.

I plan on including Spare Parts and DSP Manager to the Director's Cut already installed, more wallpapers + ringtones, and removal of a bit more bloat. It is the version I run.

Expect it out soon!
[EVO 4G Android Development] ricsim78:
Yankees10, I highly suggest you backup your SD card on your PC and reformat it, sounds like you either have leftover data that did not wipe or it ended up getting corrupted.

Format it with default settings, then pick SD Ext2 to ext3. Put everything back on it and you should be good to go. Make sure you backup all your apps with Titanium Backup as well before you do this.
[EVO 4G Android Development] YANKEES10:
ok will do thanks
[EVO 4G Android Development] vincey2kr1:
Is there going to be any launcher pro themes like Myn and Virus did for his rom?
[EVO 4G Android Development] ricsim78:
I don't use Launcher Pro anymore so no, sorry.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Novarider:
What kernel is everyone using for the best battery life?
[EVO 4G Android Development] ricsim78:
Personally I am using King's # 11 CFS and getting the best results with it.

I mentioned this before, but the best kernel for my phone may not be the best kernel for yours. You have to experiment and find a kernel that works well for your phone and stick with it.

Please read my guide, link is in my signature. It can help answer such questions.

Both Netarchy and King make some great kernels, Netarchy's tends to be a bit smaller and has some nice tweaks built in. King's kernels are almost twice as big, they do not have the tweaks that Net puts in his, but his seem to work best for me. CFS# 11 from him is so far the best overall kernel for both overall responsiveness and speed. At least that goes for my Evo, everyone's mileage will vary. King's are capable of working well for my ROM because some tweaks that Netarchy uses for his kernels are already in the ROM. In other words, my ROM adds the tweaks Netarchy puts into his kernels to King's kernel.

That does not mean he is better, they are both very good. You can also try Hero Over's kernels, as they are very good as well and are kind of a hybrid.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Novarider:
I know every persons experience with a kernel is different but in general most can use one and have good battery life while another one will cause bad battery life.

I will try kings #11
[EVO 4G Android Development] Helton566:
I re formatted my cans and I still can't load the 2 themes without friend steam messing up. It's seems like I'm not the only one having problems with them. I like the carbon theme anyway and that works like a champ.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mshnayde:
Is it time for Director's cut yet?

Sounds good.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ricsim78:
I asked you before which Hboot you are running and you never told me.

(This goes for everyone) make sure you are using the correct Hboot for my ROM. To check which version you have, just hold the power button down, choose recovery, and then pick the bootloader option. This will bring you into Hboot and it will tell you at the top which version you are running. If you used Unrevoked 3 to root, you are likely running 0.93

You need to be running 0.76 to get the extended fastboot commands needed. It is better to run this version anyhow because it is far more compatible.

Go to this link HERE, download it, copy it to your phone, and then flash it with your recovery. Check your Hboot to make sure you are on 0.76 and you are set. This may help those having theme problems.

I had the same problem you did with the themes bootlooping, but since I fixed them they work flawless for me now. Please try that and see if it helps.

No matter what, everyone should use this Hboot version.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Helton566:
I do have the .93 version what's the difference?
[EVO 4G Android Development] jgalan14:
For the aosp browser I got this link is flashable for people that don't like adb lol(like me )

http://db.tt/cTikls0
[EVO 4G Android Development] foresure84:
is anyone having issues with htc sync on this rom if so can you please help me fix this i love this rom my daily driver
[EVO 4G Android Development] Novarider:
I have hboot .97 and have not had problems flashing any roms except cm6

On another note. I flashed kings#11 and its very snappy.
[EVO 4G Android Development] foresure84:
not sure about the hboot .97 but i am using kings#11, if i nandroid back to another rom it works fine
[EVO 4G Android Development] Novarider:
What works fine? I was saying its a fast snappy kernel
[EVO 4G Android Development] ricsim78:
Most custom ROMS do not work right with Hboot that is newer than 0.76

0.76 has extended Fastboot commands; Fresh, CM6, and Damage Control need those commands to work right. I am not sure but it could even be the reason why some people are having problems with stuff working.

This is basically a stock ROM and no changes have been made to anything (like HTC Sync, to name one) that would cause sync problems. Themes can cause problems, but if you are properly wiped, running the correct version of Hboot, and your SD card is not corrupted, you should have no problems at all even with the themes.

This ROM has been smooth sailing since I have used it. So if it works for me, if you are properly setup you should be good to go.

Please install Hboot 0.76 (having problems or not) and this can help issues you have had running this ROM or others.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Novarider:
Why ask someone to install .76 if they aren't having any problems? I'm not trying to start an argument or anything I'm just curious why your so adamant about it
[EVO 4G Android Development] ricsim78:
It is okay, I will explain.

Well it seems to me like there are a few people who are having inexplicable problems (HTC Sync, Bootloops, etc.)

My ROM may well require Hboot 0.76 to function properly. If any coding makes a call for extended Fastboot commands, it will fail if it does not find them. This is why it was reported that the person who has Hboot 0.93 was unable to use CM6. CM6 takes advantage of the extended commands, which Hboot 0.93 and 0.97 lack, exactly why you could not get it to work on your Evo. Yet CM6 works for everyone who has 0.76.

Another angle to go is....I made this ROM, I know what is cooked inside of it, I know it works. I had problems (just like everyone else did) with the initial themes I posted.

I am using this ROM now just like you are, no problems with anything whatsoever. If it did, I would be recooking it for myself and for all of you as well.

If my setup works, I know exactly how I have my Evo setup. My thought is if your setup matches mine, this ROM and every addon should work as well.

Hboot 0.76 is a good idea to run, there is no benefit to running 0.93 or 0.97, they both lack the extended Fastboot commands. This not only limits the commands you can use with Fastboot, if any kernel, ROM, or programs makes a call to them, it will fail.

I am blindly trying to troubleshoot your problems, but I know what I have works fine. While it is true that each Evo is a bit different, a similar setup should still yield similar results. This ROM is not CM6, Fresh, or Damage Control. Yet it may have code inside of it that is looking for Fastboot commands that may not be present on yours.

If you wish to keep Hboot 0.9x on your phone, do so. I am just trying to help you any way I can.

Hope this helps.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Novarider:
Ok that makes sense but I have a question. Will nandroids still work if the hboot version is changed or will it break them?
[EVO 4G Android Development] foresure84:
i'm lovin it

yes thats they only problem i'm having....also if you can... can you change the battery icon for me to this whenever you have a chance still love this rom smooth as silk
[EVO 4G Android Development] ricsim78:
As long as you do not change recoveries your Nandroids will work. Amon RA and Clockwork store the backups in different locations.

Besides, your Nandroids are stored on your SD card, you can also save them on your computer to be safe and keep another spare way of bringing your system back.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ricsim78:
I will have to re-cook the ROM to implement this, if you can wait until Sunday I will do it for you.

Spending time with my girlfriend now, if I try and cook it now she said she is going to cook me :p
[EVO 4G Android Development] foresure84:
hey take your time this is my daily thnx again
[EVO 4G Android Development] Helton566:
+1 on the hboot it world like a champ. No difference in running Rom.
[EVO 4G Android Development] vincey2kr1:
Just in case anyone was wondering I was able to zip flash myn's launcher pro theme! The title bar is the original black sense title bar, I tried flashing the transparent title bar and well it looks fugly. The gps icon and signal strength do not match.. Anyone have any suggestions?
[EVO 4G Android Development] iknowsquat:
I just took a look at myn's thread...I only see his ROM thread, not a theme thread

If you are trying to flash zips that myn created to work with his ROM then it's

not surprising you are not getting 100% compatability when applied to a different ROM.

While a lot of themes from the Theme/Mod Forums

http://xdaforums.com/forumdisplay.php?f=655&order=desc

can be universally applied to all Sense 2.2 ROMs Azrael has some components that require the theme to be tweaked. Post 1 has those themes that ricsim has tweaked.

Of course you can flash any Sense theme you want but as you already found out you may have some glitches.

This is where having a nand backup of the unthemed base ROM comes in handy.

Hope that helps.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jgalan14:
+1 lmao sorry dude that's how my life is too and she probably mad cause you touch the phone more then her lol j/k anyways good job with the rom and thanks for the support
[EVO 4G Android Development] Novarider:
can i use setcpu to underclock the processor with this rom right? I'm using kings #11 kernel. I don't want to overclock I want to underclock to save battery life
[EVO 4G Android Development] wsantiagow:
I cooked my own ROM and used the Manup's Theme provide here by Ricsim78 (thanks) and added the transparent app drawer (photos attached and link) from JsChiSurf if anyone is interested in using it. You will have to use Metamorph to install the transparent app drawer.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mgriz1:
I have never posted before, but I love this Rom. Please keep up the good work. I have flashed every Rom out so far. This one is my favorite so far. No issues at all.
[EVO 4G Android Development] suprano:
this Rom is burning my evo..too hot :) great job mann..j themed it my own way tho..tight

Swyped from unleashedEVO..Signed by XDA
[EVO 4G Android Development] dezel29:
man i love this ROM...the best i have flashed since i got my EVO...everything works perfect except i cant get wireless tether too work, andd the hotspot wont work either...i have to have that rite now...i used the tether included in the rom and have all versions saved for use too, none worked for me...i flashed the carbon fiber theme...any help on this would really rock...thanks again
[EVO 4G Android Development] tkirton:
If you switch between roms, any Apps2SD will leave apps on your SD card. This is the behavior of Apps2SD, Darktremor or otherwise. It's actually a plus for the user, as the user doesn't have to reinstall programs (this is how earlier versions of CyanogenMod's version, which Darktremor is based on, was promoted)

When a user switches roms and experience issues..and that user is using an Apps2SD program (Darktremor or otherwise), it is usually due to one or more programs from the Market that has a configuration incompatible with the rom being used. If you can find the program, you can usually uninstall and reinstall the program to fix any incompatibilities.

This is also why when rom developers say a full wipe is required, they mean to perform the following:

Data wipe

Dalvik-cache wipe

SD EXT wipe

I know this is true when I switch from a Sense-based ROM to an AOSP rom (i.e. CyanogenMod)
[EVO 4G Android Development] ricsim78:
Thank you for explaining that, good information for people who do not know.

I realize that that is a feature of Apps2SD, which is a great script. I read up on it a lot before I implemented it.

The only reason I chose not to use it this time is because unfortunately, Apps2SD needs very fast SD card to perform at it's best (At least a class 6).
[EVO 4G Android Development] ricsim78:
The exact setting I use with my ROM and King's #11 CFS:

No profiles.

1152-245 conservative scaling

Then in advanced options:

Up threshold: 95

Down threshold: 50

Freq. Step: 5

With these settings and King's #11 kernel, my phone performance on both speed and battery life is amazing.

I got this settings with a user who got them from Cyanogen, works beautifully.

Profiles are not needed with a HAVS kernel.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Novarider:
Nevermind.
[EVO 4G Android Development] foresure84:
what r u running

what are you running on the evo as far as software updates versions
[EVO 4G Android Development] ricsim78:
I have the latest radio, WIMAX, NV, and PRL.

As far as system software, besides the stuff mentioned I downgraded to increase functionality in the release notes, all software is at the latest version.
[EVO 4G Android Development] foresure84:
hey ricsim78 would you happen to have just your roise for this theme a stand alone zip
[EVO 4G Android Development] ricsim78:
Just download the Manup theme, unzip it, in system/apps you will see Rosie.apk.

ADB push that to your phone/ROM. Done deal :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] foresure84:
thnx really trying to trouble shoot this htc sync thing... if i nandroid to virus rom i can sync go back to your rom... no sync wtf i'm stumped htc syn has to store settings somewhere
[EVO 4G Android Development] ricsim78:
Did you read my post a couple pages back about Hboot?

I know you definitely have an isolated case.

Try also doing a full wipe.
[EVO 4G Android Development] khshapiro:
+1 sync issue

.76 hboot

love the rom
[EVO 4G Android Development] khshapiro:
any chance for an app2sd version?
[EVO 4G Android Development] khshapiro:
yep im a post whore tonight...

please excuse my ignorance, BUT..............

yes i am comming from app2sd , so i do not know how to restore my old apps and or data. when i use TB it forces a reboot, it forces a reboot with either app+ data , app+ all system data and data only. how to i restore apps and or just data?

again

.76 hboot

full system wipe

am i missing something or should i Back up my sd card , reformat it and put my data back on the card? if i need a reformat what ext are you suggesting?
[EVO 4G Android Development] jgalan14:
Do you have the latest busybox? You can check on the first page when you open the app, press down on problems and install the latest busybox
[EVO 4G Android Development] khshapiro:
its not the offical busybox update as thats 1.16, this is the one that comes with azraels 1.17 .... im open for suggestions and ideas... i just when back to warms 2.2 to double check to see if i had a problem and all apps reinstalled and app data reinstalled
[EVO 4G Android Development] rde34:
Ricsim, you're ROM is tremendously well done. My question is, where (what android folder) would I put my own wallpapers to have them come up with HTC Wallpaper options? Thanks in advance.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ricsim78:
They are stored in system/customize/resource.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ricsim78:
If you want Apps2SD, just use Azrael 2.1.

But I can tell you now, 2.2 is faster, better setup, and has more features.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ricsim78:
Titanium Backup:

First make sure you are have permission set on it. It will tell you when you open it if you have no permission.

First check Updates? If it says Installed, means you have the latest. If it says Update, update it.

Next, hit Problems? And download Busybox 1.60. Do these steps and you will have no problems running Titanium Backup.

1.7 that comes with my ROM does not work with TB, use 1.60. Warm might use 1.60, explaining why it works with his out of the box. I did not change Busybox when I made this ROM, when Myn rooted the ROM base I used this is the one he cooked in.
[EVO 4G Android Development] khshapiro:
yep went back to 1.16 and was able to get my data restored.

any idea why i cant sync?

i have now preformed a full wipe with RA and also reinstalled sdk and jdk along with the htc sync.. its kinda not a big deal since i can still read my sd card when i mount it.

love this rom, i was happy with my Fresh , even happier when i went to Warm, but this rom here is nice and clean. donating!!!
