Thank you sir, glad you like it!

In the Heights 4G is spotty unfortunately. Like sometimes I can be inside my house and get it, other times I can go outside and down my block and not get it at all.
[EVO 4G Android Development] metalmenance:
yeah I like the riptide clear theme which i downloaded from orig post
[EVO 4G Android Development] DaddieDiesel:
You try handcent it has a quick reply option. All you have to do is go into messaging app and unchecked the auto retrieve and notification and it will do what you want.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ricsim78:
What happened is that theme likely had an older version of Gmail and it over-wrote the one from my ROM. I will have to see if Riptide 9 updated this theme at all and then give it some more Azrael love.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ricsim78:
Wait is over, you can download it now :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] whytecell:
Flashing right now! But I get a loop, I read the thread and it says it will take a LONG time for it to flash, I was wondering if the loop was normal, it's been doing this for about 7mins now. I know.. I know.. "Noob" but, Im just wondering. Btw, Great work on the past Roms. Between this one and Myn I'm trying to decide who to stick with! lol

EDIT: beautiful! Installed! Thanks for your help ricsim78, You've been there helping me out since the very beginning!
[EVO 4G Android Development] lowrider32119:
if he removes it with titanium then install the latest from the market and reboot he should be fine.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ricsim78:
I assume you mean loop when you try and startup the ROM.

Check to make sure the ROM downloaded all the way, an incomplete download can cause such loops.

That means you have to do a bit more spring cleaning. Do a full wipe.

data

cache

Dalvik

SD:Ext (all x2)

Then reinstall. If that does not fix the problem:

Go to Ra's Partition menu and select Repair SD:ext. Try again. Lastly, if all this does not work..you have a dirty SD card that needs some cleaning.

1. Backup your entire SD card contents to your computer.

2. Go to the partition menu, formatting using default settings.

3. Then go to ext2 to ext3

4. Copy all the content of your SD card backup and my ROM back onto the SD card using the computer.

5. Reinstall and problems should be fixed.

Sounds to me like you still have junk left over from another ROM, this should get you back in business.

For you to find it hard to choose between Myn's ROM and mine, that makes me feel really good :D
[EVO 4G Android Development] whytecell:
Alright, Spring cleaning I will! Thanks for the fast response!

Boot anime

Love the ROM's you create! By far the best EVO ROM's anywhere!

The new boot animation is cool but reminds me how much I hate Motorola! HTC Rules!

Keep up the good work!

Is it my crappy connection or is anybody else finding the downloads are running slow?

[EVO 4G Android Development] erikrapolla:
Hey ricsim d/l your new ver. right now, just wondering if you tried net's newest smartass kernel on it, if so, how does it do compared to the one pre-loaded on your new version?? And what works best for ya?? ALso, do you have to keep the zip files you d/l onto your sd card that you already installed on your phone, or once installed can you delete them to get memory back??
[EVO 4G Android Development] coreylenn:
idk where i would got o find the answer for this buttt how come all the apps i install on the phone, they all can't go on the sd card some are on the phone permanently
[EVO 4G Android Development] magicalan:
anyway i can get the Matted Blue's icons in a flashable zip?
[EVO 4G Android Development] ricsim78:
Because apps have to be setup by the developers to be able to store onto the SD card. That is out of my control. It doesn't matter anyhow, with 74 user apps installed my phone still has nearly 300 MB free. That is more than you would get with a stock ROM for apps.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ricsim78:
I would ask the maker of Matted Blues for this. I do not want to take out and distribute stuff that is not my work.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ricsim78:
I am using it now, SetCPU set at 1150 with Smartass governor. It is super fast and may be the best kernel yet for my phone.

The uninstalled apps are stored on your SD card, so they take very little memory from there. They can be deleted if you wish but good to keep in case you may want to install them later. Your call but unless your SD card is low on memory, they should be fine where they are and take up no phone memory.
[EVO 4G Android Development] neoboss589:
wiped

data

cache

Dalvik

battery stats

installed azrael v2.4,then while in recovery installed kings CFS #11,then lowrider theme 2.6.Rebooted.Got boot loop.Went back into recovery and installed azrael without any wipes and rebooted.got boot loop again.went into recovery,wiped everything,then installed azrael only..reboot fine.then installed each one seperately(kings CFS then lowriders theme)rebooting each time.Works awesome now.Even got Sprint HOTSPOT working!!

Awesome Rom Ricsim78.I only use this rom.Personally, i thinks its the best.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ricsim78:
I will tell you what could possibly be causing this.

Kingklick and Netarchy tend to be using Anykernel by Koush. They are intended to be flash over a working kernel. They may not work right unless you first install the ROM. Boot into it, then reboot into recovery, wipe cache and Dalvik, and then install the kernel.

I am going to start a troubleshooting thread. It should answer some FAQ about my ROM and flashing in generel. This way if anyone has problems they can read it and maybe get some ideas how to fix things.

In any case, really glad you like it and hope it is treating everyone good.

I say with no arrogance that it is by far my best ROM yet.
[EVO 4G Android Development] erikrapolla:
okay, thanks for the info... what about riptide's theme, got one updated for your rom or do we still need to do the mods ourself???
[EVO 4G Android Development] neoboss589:
Awesome idea on the troubleshooting thread.I think that would be a good idea.

"I say with no arrogance that it is by far my best ROM yet."<----'dude you are so true about this statement!!!!!
[EVO 4G Android Development] DaddieDiesel:
Riptides theme works great with Ricsim rom. What other mods are referring too?
[EVO 4G Android Development] ricsim78:
First post, it is available and working for my ROM. Any problems with Gmail, use Titanium backup to uninstall and reinstall it. Should work fine.
[EVO 4G Android Development] erikrapolla:
Like the 5MB mms mod, n sumthin else, when you flash riptide's theme it over-writes that mod and sets it back to 2MB...
[EVO 4G Android Development] ricsim78:
Then all you do is reflash the Calkulin Mod over the theme as described in the first post and you are good to go.

Themes look awesome but they do change things. All we can do is counter those changes by reinstalling the mods.
[EVO 4G Android Development] DaddieDiesel:
Yes i believe you still have to flash those mods. They are in the op.

Beatn to the punch
[EVO 4G Android Development] erikrapolla:
Does the 5MB mms mod only work for the stock text msg prgrm??? The reason I ask is I like to use handcent and was wondering if the mod applies itself to that prgm, also?? If not, can it??
[EVO 4G Android Development] lowrider32119:
my theme does not mess with the mods. ricsim if you want the other themes to not bother the mods go into the framework folder and remove all the .jar files and only leave the 2 .apks.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ricsim78:
Not all do, but any theme that installs a different MMS.apk will.

That is where that MOD is located and what is changed to have the 5MB limit instead of stock 2MB.

Yours does not, which is awesome. But the rest of the stuff I leave intact because of the icons and everything else.

P.S. I did reply that that message you sent me :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] ricsim78:
Not 100% sure but I assume since the mod involves the stock MMS.apk that it will only work with the stock messaging app.
[EVO 4G Android Development] erikrapolla:
Sorry man for all the ?'s, since the sprint hotspot works now do we need to even install the wireless tether app?? Thank you, again n again n again, I REALLY appreciate all of your and everyone else's help...
[EVO 4G Android Development] lowrider32119:
hmm well mine does change the mms i thought I checked it out and saw that in the caulk mod it also updated a jar. ill have to recheck.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ricsim78:
It is always good to have both, in case one does not work the other will. If you have both working, better chances it will work when you want it or need it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ricsim78:
You are right, I had it confused with the compression tweak.
[EVO 4G Android Development] rde34:
ricsim78, did you also tweak your setCpu advanced settings with the netarchy 4.2 kernel? If so, what settings are you using?

update*** Disregard my question. I just installed and realized with smartass setting there are no advanced settings to change. As you were!
[EVO 4G Android Development] ricsim78:
I wanted to let everyone know that I updated the first post.

To flash anything over the ROM (kernel, MOD, Theme, etc.)

Let the ROM bootup without anything else installed first. No custom kernels, themes, or MODS.

Reboot into recovery

Wipe the cache and Dalvik only

Then install whatever MOD/Kernel/Theme you want.

I highly suggest you flash one thing at a time, let it load up and then reboot and repeat the above process for each add on. Always wipe the cache and Dalvik with each reboot into recovery you do.

This makes sure each thing you flash takes correctly and you can determine what caused any problems you have easier.
[EVO 4G Android Development] dxtyle:
im reserved for 2.4 i love 2.3 so im on
[EVO 4G Android Development] winkynatedog:
I'm back

Hey I'm about to flash just wondering how your battery is w/ netarchy's 4.2kernal. Also what recovery do you use to wipe and install the kernels. I was reading netarchy's page and he said that clockwork wasn't wiping correctly. I have clockwork now, if this is the case how do I get Amon's?
[EVO 4G Android Development] ricsim78:
The easiest way to get Amon Ra is to use ROM Manager and use the option to flash an alternative recovery.

Please see here for how to use ADB to push it to your phone and other options. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=705026

My battery life with Netarchy 4.2 has been exceptional so far, but due to the fact I was testing my ROM I have not had a chance to do a full test. I have been using my phone all day and night doing various things and still have plenty of battery left.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ricsim78:
If you liked 2.3, wait until you try this one :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] dxtyle:
im doing it right now, so far like the bootscreen, kinda better lol
[EVO 4G Android Development] johnpucillo:
I'm not sure if this is an issue with my battery or what but it is charging super slow. Like in 30 mins it went up just 2 percent and in 2 hours I went from 25 percent to 84 percent. Weird never saw this before. I love this Rom. Using it with the newest Lowrider theme, very nice work.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ricsim78:
Please see the guide in my signature, it sounds to me like you may need to calibrate the battery. It has a detailed guide on the bottom of the first post. Anyone who wants better battery life should try that method. Not only are you completely charging the battery up, you are calibrating the phone software to give you a much more accurate reading.

There is nothing in my ROM (or the HTC kernel used) that would make your battery charge slow :)

Thank you and glad you like it :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] khshapiro:
oh yeah , daddys got a new toy.............

RicSim78 , my GF offically hates you now
[EVO 4G Android Development] dxtyle:
well i got something bad, idk but with 2.4 my EVO BURNS, not literally, is burning HOT, the kickstand got so hot i coulnt even touch it, im going back to 2.3 to find out if is the rom or what

EDIT: Now im having an installation abort in line 8
[EVO 4G Android Development] ricsim78:
Something is up with your phone and not the ROM. I am overclocked and charging right now and the phone is not even warm to the touch.

The ROM has nothing to do with the hardware and heat, the kernel does and would be responsible for stuff like that. Are you overclocking? Something is not right there :(

Looks like you may have a defective Evo. I suggest you shut it off and let it cool off and see if it heats up like that again. If it does, it may be time to unroot and bring it in to your local Sprint store :(

Goodluck and hope you get it sorted out.

Edit: Are you using SetCPU? If you are do a wipe immediately and let your phone cool off. You may have still had SetCPU settings that applied when you switched ROMS.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ricsim78:
But why when I am making her BF so happy? :D

Just make sure to put it away when she is around as much as you can. LOL

Hope you like my new ROM, definitely my pride and joy.
[EVO 4G Android Development] dxtyle:
nah, i dont use none of those, to be honest, i dont even know what overclocked means, or how to deal with SetCPU, i was charging the phone while flashing that may be the cause, since i just reflashed and is not that hot, well lets give it another try, and ill let u know
[EVO 4G Android Development] ricsim78:
Ok sounds good. I promise my ROM will not make your phone explode or incinerate itself hehe :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] dxtyle:
oh i know that, and believe me, i trust u on it, i actually today, flashed 6 evos with ur rom 2.3 and ppls were just thanking me, for the battery life
[EVO 4G Android Development] ricsim78:
That is awesome to hear, thank you for the support. Too bad I didn't have 2.4 ready yet last night, I had a few more loose ends to button up and some final testing before I released it.

I think you will like this version even better, it is more of the same but I definitely took steps to increase the speed and add more customizations. I also fixed some problems and tweaked the system again and I hope to make each release better and better. Mostly because I learn more and more as time goes by and I go off feedback I get from all of you as well. Some people have made some real good suggestions that I have put to good use.
[EVO 4G Android Development] dxtyle:
ok another test, another result, the rom itself doesnt heat my evo, but it does hit when i go into recovery with the charger plugged, so we can discard that from a rom bug :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] rizzomach:
i am flashing this now cant wait to give this a go...By the way rom looks good
[EVO 4G Android Development] ricsim78:
Thank you, I really hope you do like it! Please enjoy.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jgalan14:
Great job on the latest build really like what you done so far( I was one of the first oneto try it out your rom btw) I like how you can choose diferent themes the wont brake anything. Fast and reliable so far battery test tomorrow ..

Btw does anyone remember the name of the app to change the font size in menu and such I got it here at xda but I forgot what it was dpi something. Thanks in advance

Edit : how did picasa became part of the sync feature in the google account I never seen it in sense, or probably didn't pay attention to it?
[EVO 4G Android Development] dxtyle:
ricsim78 question, does the kernel changed on this rom? cause im seeing a faster decrease in my battery life than in 2.3 7% in 3 minutes
[EVO 4G Android Development] catseyenu:
Speed, battery life, stability and full featured, you've done it again, thank you!

I started using King's #11 BFS a few days ago and really like it so far..

Quick question what in your opinion is the difference between King's #11 (BFS) & Netarchy 4.2 w/HAVS?
[EVO 4G Android Development] joeblaster:
This rom is awesome, quick question. Does this have the DarkTremor apps2d? did not see it the change log. Are there any true benefit from it?

[EVO 4G Android Development] Novarider:
Why did you load a new hboot? When I changed my hboot I had to reinstall the rom from scratch. My nandroids wouldn't work either.

New rom is running super smooth and snappy!! thanks for the update..

Got a Q for anyone using Low's 2.6 theme, is your notification back round solid black? not a big deal but I do like it transparent better... just wondering if its just me...thx
[EVO 4G Android Development] pastert33:
I just noticed, when I unlock my phone, for a split second it as if I'm holding it upside down and then quickly goes to the right orientation. Does that make sense? Is it suppose to be like this?
[EVO 4G Android Development] DaddieDiesel:
No it does not but it does have a apps2sd. which helpswith freeing up the internal memory of your phone.

were you fully charged when you flashed? did you also wipe your battery stats ?

ive always let the newly flashed rom run a full day and completely run it down tthen recharge it to see what is really going on with my battery.

each phone can be different some will work well with a certain kernel while others dont at least from what ive read. test out different ones till you find out what works well for you. i was also using Kings #11 bfs but have switched to netarchys 4.2 smartass aggresive undervolting.
[EVO 4G Android Development] DaddieDiesel:
What home screen are you using? I know launcher pro can rotate and might rotate while your screen is off. also what rom were you on previously there might have been some left over settings.
[EVO 4G Android Development] dd4502:
Bluetooth Stack Update?

I have been running your ROM (2.3) for a couple of day and have the kingx #11 as you suggest also. I love it!!! so fast and smooth and awsome battery life. I just connected my motorola sd9HD bluetooth headphones last night and there is a hiss in the background. I have been doing some reading on the forums and see where the sound quality is very good with a bitpool of 53 vs the htc one of 32?? If this is accurate info, can you help with this?

Thanks and HUGE THANKS for the AWSOME ROM!!!!!!!

dd4502
[EVO 4G Android Development] ricsim78:
Thank you, I highly suggest you upgrade to my latest version.

You can use the included DSP manager to adjust your audio settings, it is a 5 band graphic EQ and you can even adjust the audio of the Bluetooth headset.

I would have to look into that setting but I think just adjusting the DSP Manager would do the trick just turn the treble down and you should be good to go. I would probably have to recook the ROM to change that (if I can even find where that setting is).
[EVO 4G Android Development] ricsim78:
Sounds like you need to reset your rotate settings and/or recalibrate your sensors.

To wipe rotate settings, use the wipe section of Amon Ra and you will see that option in there.

To recalibrate your sensors, go to Settings>Display>G-Sensor Calibration. Lay it on the ground and hit Calibrate.

Sounds like (what DaddieDiesel said) you have leftover information from your last ROM.
[EVO 4G Android Development] dd4502:
Hey thanks for the quick reply!! I will adjust the dsp settings some more and see what happens.

When I upgrade to your latest release, should I change over to Netarchy 4.2? (Went with kingx from htc kernel because my battery was getting killed) Also, will I have to re-install apps and re-set my emails again?
[EVO 4G Android Development] ricsim78:
Same kernel, go to the guide in my signature and look at how to calibrate your battery. Battery life should be largely unaffected because this is 2.3 with some image optimizations and I removed the compcache tweak. If anything, this ROM should be more efficient because the images are optimized and much smaller than before.

Same kernel, basically same ROM, no new software running in the background or anything like that.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ricsim78:
Not a problem at all, hope that helps you. You can basically set the sound how you want.

Netarchy 4.2 is a great kernel for my Evo, it is difficult to recommend a kernel because each phone is different. The best kernel for you may be the worse for me.

Backup your whole system with Titanium backup (included in the ROM). Open it up, hit Problems? and let it download Busybox 1.60. Reopen it and hit backup/restore then hit the menu button on your phone, choose Batch and hit Run on Backup all system apps + all user data.

But no, just wipe the cache and Dalvik before you install the kernel and your information will still be there. It is just always good to keep a backup of your stuff in case you need to wipe the phone.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ricsim78:
They are both good kernel makers and good kernels. I want to let you and everyone else know that it is virtually impossible for me to recommend a kernel.

The best kernel for you may be the worst kernel for my phone. Each Evo reacts different. If you look at the kernel threads, you will see some saying that the newest is the best yet, others stating that they had to roll back to an older version because the new one caused problems.

I wish I could give you a better answer, but you have to see which one works better for your phone. If they both seem about the same (as far as speed and battery) I suggest you download Quadrant from the market and run that, see which one benchmarks faster.

Once you find a good kernel, stick with it unless the kernel maker comes out with a new version that you want to try.

Hope this helps!
[EVO 4G Android Development] ricsim78:
No, I decided against using it because it can cause problems with Wireless tethering, it required a fast micro SD card which a lot of people do not have, and it wears out your micro SD card faster.

My ROM is redone to move the Dalvik to the /cache portion (normally where OTA updates are stored when you download from Sprint, but we are rooted and do not use OTA so that space goes unused by us Rooted people normally). This way, the amount of free memory is as high as Apps2SD (Not the included one, the script that is cooked into ROMS) and the Dalvik is on the much faster internet /cache portion rather than the much slower Micro SD card.

It is better this way, mostly because not everyone is running a Class 6 or better Micro SD.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ricsim78:
Just reinstall the ROM and you will be fine after doing a full wipe.

Trust me, Hboot 0.76 is better. I also did not have the same problem as Novarider did (where my Nandroids did not work).

But I am going to remove that download link in case it causes problems. If it ain't broke, don't fix it!
[EVO 4G Android Development] ricsim78:
Why? One of the whole reasons I made this ROM was to use the stock base but be totally customized.

You will have to use a theme that brings them back. But why you would want to use them instead of my custom ones is beyond me. :rolleyes:

Here is what you can do for a quick fix. Download any ROM that has stock wallpapers (SteelH is a good candidate). They are located in system/customize/resource. Just copy the wallpaper(s) to your SD card in the DCIM folder and use Gallery to choose which one you want. Viola.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ricsim78:
You can use Spare Parts to change font sizes, included with the ROM.
