Nice work. One thing though. Bottom buttons aren't lighting. Worked on 2.2.

Edit that. Noticed it after hot reboot. After a normal reboot they light fine.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Novarider:
In your next update can you make it so we don't have to wipe everything then re flash the rom, theme, kernel then take all that time to re install the apps then set them up they way they were? I would like to upgrade to 2.21 but I'm not going to (at least right now) because I don't want to spend all that time setting up my phone again for just a few little upgrades.

Vaelek had this feature is his updates so if you don't know how to do it maybe you could ask him how he did it.

Just a suggestion
[EVO 4G Android Development] Novarider:
I have one more request. Could you post the aosp lock screen? I would prefer that it be themed like you have the stock one but if you don't want to theme it or can't the regular aosp is good to. I like being able to silence my phone with the lock screen. Also my daughter (2yr old) can't unlock the aosp version but she can the htc version lol
[EVO 4G Android Development] GadgetMonger:
No need for special features really. Just wipe cache and dalvik a couple of times and flash new version over the top of the old. Worked for me.

When I try to run fix permissions from RomManager I get this message: "An error occurred while attempting to run privileged commands! "

Any ideas what this error is ?

Thanks for any help or info...
[EVO 4G Android Development] ricsim78:
ROM Manager? You using Clockwork? Maybe uninstall it and reinstall?

I actually advise against using ROM Manager, it has never worked well for me and requires use of Clockwork Recovery, which does not work as well as Amon Ra does.

I have no idea, I do not use it myself but it should work. Sounds like you may have some improperly wiped data from your last ROM(s). If you are using Clockwork that could be why.

Maybe ROM Manager did not properly get Super user access. Go to Super user, delete the entry for ROM manager and try again.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ricsim78:
That is funny, she is better than my some of my friends who are utterly intimidated by my phone!

I will for sure add that option later tonight for you or anyone else who wishes to have it. Give me a little while.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ricsim78:
No problem, glad you like it.

Why don't you just try and wipe the cache and Dalvik and then flash this ROM over my last one? It should work. If it gives you problems, here is how I get back up and running in 5 minutes.

-Do a full Titanium backup.

-Full wipe phone: Data, Cache, Dalvik, SD:Ext

-Install my ROM, reboot.

-Go to TB, hit problems? Install Busybox 1.60

-Batch Restore all missing apps and data.

-Manually restore MMS storage, Contact List, Email storage (do email twice if it does not take).

-You can even try to restore your Sense screen, but you may have to redo your widgets because they do not save.

-Then go to Market, downloads, and update everything.

I can literally do this in 5 minutes (timed myself, sometimes faster).

(This goes for you too Novarider, I did not make any drastic changes that would cause it not to work).

I still always advise a clean wipe, but it by no means necessary in most cases.
[EVO 4G Android Development] xzulez:
Hey ricsim I want to try out your rom but is there something wrong with the links
[EVO 4G Android Development] ricsim78:
Try the main link (Hit the name of the download), if it doesn't work hit Zshare Mirror and see if that one works. Links tested and working for me right now (Both main and Zshare).
[EVO 4G Android Development] xzulez:
I tried both of the files and no luck. The one that I downloaded from mega is 31.02 k and the other one is 7.06 k. Could it be because I am downloading from my phone?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Novarider:
Are you using juice defender? If so shut it off while you download the file. I download most roms with my phone
[EVO 4G Android Development] xzulez:
Nope, my laptop broke down on me. So I download all the files through my phone.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Kire25:
Im having the same problem downloading both links.
[EVO 4G Android Development] xzulez:
Are trying to download through your phone?

[EVO 4G Android Development] Novarider:
Both links won't work for me either.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Kire25:
Yes I am downloading from phone. I downloaded v2.2 from phone also. No juice defender.
[EVO 4G Android Development] GadgetMonger:
Wifi or 3g /4g? I couldn't get it to download using wifi. Had to use 3g.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Novarider:
I tried both links on 3g and neither worked
[EVO 4G Android Development] Kire25:
I tried 3g/ 4g and neither worked. Megadownload says "waiting for data connection " but doesn't connect, zshare downloads a few kbs and say download complete.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Kire25:
MEGAUPLOAD says file is temporarily unavailable
[EVO 4G Android Development] dee-vious_dee:
DOESN'T Download on Phone OR computer!!! Anyone got a mirror site? of the main ROM?
[EVO 4G Android Development] ricsim78:
Might be a lot of people downloading. I am going to throw up more mirrors soon.

Sorry for any download troubles.
[EVO 4G Android Development] dee-vious_dee:
Mega is totally messed up you Zshare is working but it's SLOW!!! Taking me about an hour to download on a cable internet link.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ricsim78:
Added 4share mirror, I think just a lot of people downloading it right now.
[EVO 4G Android Development] chopper221:
Tried both links 3g, 4g, and wifi. Get to 7 on and stops
[EVO 4G Android Development] Kire25:
WTF? I love this rom but I'm ready to give up on downloading v2.21, new link is a no go for me.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ricsim78:
Never had a lot of success downloading ROMS on the phone.

I was thinking of maybe hosting a torrent. But for now I am going to add a couple more mirrors, maybe we will have more success?

Funny...just for kicks I tried each link and they worked. Of course they did for me :p The one person who doesn't need them.
[EVO 4G Android Development] iknowsquat:
4share worked great-3 minutes...now that I said that it will probably get toasted :D

Just chill peeps, it's a sign of how rockin' this ROM is (ie heavy traffic) You'll get yours, just keep trying.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ricsim78:
I am doing my best to get some mirrors up, uploading now as we speak. Just taking a while.

I have no control over the mirrors, unfortunately. There is a ton of people downloading today, that has everything to do with it. Over 200 downloads from Megaupload alone!
[EVO 4G Android Development] chopper221:
4share did the same
[EVO 4G Android Development] Novarider:
WOW 200 downloads today. Nice!
[EVO 4G Android Development] ricsim78:
That is just Megaupload too :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] ricsim78:
Filefactory link up too.
[EVO 4G Android Development] khshapiro:
2.21 and with app2sd added.......................... you had me at 2.21.......

your my personal hero now
[EVO 4G Android Development] ricsim78:
Haha, glad you like it!

I am going to not have a new version every week. Instead I am going to come out with more options for my ROM. This way people will not have to upgrade every week to a new ROM :).
[EVO 4G Android Development] Kire25:
Finally! Thanks ricsim!!! Good fu#$'n job!!!!
[EVO 4G Android Development] ricsim78:
Good I am glad you were finally able to download it. Thank you very much, please enjoy!
[EVO 4G Android Development] Kire25:
Is there a donate link or did I miss it?
[EVO 4G Android Development] chopper221:
Finally 876 seconds later on 4share can't wait to try
[EVO 4G Android Development] ricsim78:
If you want, start posting ideas of what kind of addons I can add to make my ROM more customized however you may want it.

Addon ideas so far:

Vanilla Lock Screen

Android battery indicator

5 app per-row mod
[EVO 4G Android Development] THunDA:
Thanks for the update! Im truly loving your rom dude, so much I sent you a donation, keep up the good work. :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] DaddieDiesel:
Downloaded this morning,put through medium paces and have got say i am truly impressed,fast clean and just sick.

As far as a addon. Ive seen this somewhere else dont remember.

The andy in the dropdown notification,or even using one of your wallpaper images in there semi-transparent.

Thanks again for such a sick rom.

From my Evo via sheer will
[EVO 4G Android Development] traybent:
My YouTube has been acting up ,sense I flash your ROM,any ideas to what may cause this..
[EVO 4G Android Development] GadgetMonger:
What's it doing? Mine is working fine.
[EVO 4G Android Development] catseyenu:
A few of questions before I jump.

Coming from an odexed install will Titanium's back up's still work?

Does the Full wipe take out the Titanium backup?

I'm unsure on which Theme to use have the differences been covered somewhere?

Thanks!
[EVO 4G Android Development] ricsim78:
If there are any problems with Youtube, it is caused by either your connection or Youtube itself.

I use it almost daily on my phone and never given me problems.

Wish I could help you more but I think you issue is pretty isolated.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ricsim78:
Hi there,

Good question and I will be happy to answer the best I can.

Full wipe will take out Titanium Backup, but not the data which Titanium Backup, well, backs up. My ROM already installs Titanium Backup automatically when you put it on your phone. Unless you erase your SD card, you will find all of your apps & data there.

I do suggest you make sure you have the latest version of TB and also hit "Problems?" and make sure you download the Busybox it needs. It should say, "Busybox 1.60 downloaded from app."

Then you are set to go. Coming from any other ROM but Azrael 2.2 (even 2.1 or 2.0) I would do a full wipe. This means Data, Cache, Dalvik, and SD:Ext. I do them twice to make sure they are wiped. Amon Ra is a better recovery, Clockwork has never worked well for me.

As for your theme question, I plan on uploading some screen shots and showing them in action so you can see the different look from each theme. Until then, just search for the theme name on here and you can see what they look like.

Hope this helps you :) Please let me know if I can offer any more help and I will do my best to help you.
[EVO 4G Android Development] catseyenu:
Thank you Ricsim.

So SD:Ext isn't the full SD card?

I'm kind of at an impasse, Titanium Backup updated a few days ago (to 3.5.5) and doesn't seem to be functioning as it sees none of my backups though they are in the Titanium Backup folder. I'm unsure if I should update the app to try and resolve this or attempt to install the previous version over the top.

Until I get TB Pro working I'm stuck like Chuck. :-/
[EVO 4G Android Development] ricsim78:
First see if this helps, go to Settings>SD & phone storage and try unmounting and remounting your SD card.

Then try updating Titanium backup to the latest and install busybox. If it still doesn't work, do a full reset of your phone by pulling the battery for 10 seconds, reboot and try again.

If that doesn't fix the problem then I would copy the contents of your SD card to your computer, format the SD card with the phone using defaults, and then select ext2 to ext3. Then copy everything back over to your SD card. You can safely wipe your phone, all contents are backed up on your SD card from Titanium backup.

Hope this helps, let me know and I will do what I can to fix the problem.

As long as your data is backed up by Titanium backup using Busybox 1.60, you can wipe the phone without worrying about losing your data. The SD card is where backups are stored.
[EVO 4G Android Development] catseyenu:
Happy dance on, the update fixed it!

Time to get fresh backups and then take a dive into the Ricsim pool!

Thank you!

[EVO 4G Android Development] ricsim78:
Good to hear and glad I was able to help you. Please enjoy and feel free to ask more questions and I will help you as much as I can.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ricsim78:
Not sure if I can pull that one off without using a homescreen replacement, I can implement stuff already made but an Android programmer I am not!

Sounds cool though, you can always use LP with my ROM though.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ricsim78:
For those who want it, I included Calkulin's vanilla lockscreen mod on the first page.

It makes your lockscreen the vanilla one, meaning you right from right to left to change volume settings, drag left to right to unlock. (For those who do not know).

I like it better personally.
[EVO 4G Android Development] iknowsquat:
Cool. You may want to note that the mod will also install the AOSP Alarm clock which must be used with the Vanilla Lockscreen. If you use the Sense Alarm clock you wont be able to shut it off. You'll definitely be awake tho :mad:

:p
[EVO 4G Android Development] ricsim78:
I forgot all about that, thanks for reminding me. That would be quite annoying for sure! I will definitely note that.

Thanks! haha
[EVO 4G Android Development] ricsim78:
In case anyone wants to know what kind of battery life my ROM gets, here are some screenshots.

I had to plug it into USB to take these screenshots, but check it out.

This is with Azrael 2.21 and King's kernel #11. I have 61 Apps on the phone. Manup theme installed.

SetCPU set on 1152 Max/256 Min

Up threshold 95

Down threshold 50

Scaling Freq 5

No Profiles used

After 7 hours 10 min since being unplugged.

2 hours talk time, Angry Birds for about a half hour, some messaging. Checked emails a few times, ran wireless tether for about 20 minutes too. Wifi and GPS on all the time. Turned screen on like 30 times, used the flashlight app for a few minutes, and restored all my apps using Titanium Backup all on this charge.

Good numbers and plenty of battery left too! The kernel and usage have a lot more to do with the battery life than the ROM, but this shows my ROM does not have any battery issues at all.
[EVO 4G Android Development] foresure84:
was the android battery icon a no go for the 2.21.... still the best rom i used to date 2 thumbs up excellent job man
[EVO 4G Android Development] ricsim78:

Would it be possible for you to edit the revolution theme? I like the theme but the battery meter is about as easy to read as hieroglyphics lol.

Can you look at this battery symbol mod and see if you can get it to work. I like the white circle. It matches the revolution theme

So I just saw they released a new OTA update, when do you plan on incorperating that into this ROM. I really like your ROM with the xxbabiboixx's Carbon Fiber theme!

I can't get my tether to work newbie
[EVO 4G Android Development] DaddieDiesel:
Read the op.All the info you need to set up is there.
[EVO 4G Android Development] khshapiro:
Wireless tether issue , comp can see and connect to the android tether but can not connect to the internet. I've tried installing the fixes listed :confused:

Is there an option to remove the clock in the upper right?

EDIT or it should say IDIOT, its offical I'm a dumbass today, was installing the wrong tether update! Works great now
[EVO 4G Android Development] ricsim78:
In Wireless tether, does it show loading binaries and config?

Try this: Hit Menu (In Wireless tether) and then hit it again. Select "Reload Binaries and config"

If not, try a different SSID or channel.

Ever since the fix, mine has worked flawless and the laptop connects right away, as does the iPod Touch.

Edit: Haha, that will do it every time! All that matters is that you got it figured out and it is working for you now :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] ricsim78:
Read the whole first post and maybe you will find your answer. :D
[EVO 4G Android Development] ricsim78:
That is a cool clock, once the developer gets it working right I will definitely add some clock options.

I am concerned if I add it now, I will end up with an ear instead of a clock lol. Too bad because I really like that. I am sure the OP will get it ironed out.
[EVO 4G Android Development] DaddieDiesel:
There is a thread with zip files for removing clock only,battery only and clock and battery. I use the clock and battery one,cant upload right now but ill will get the link in a bit.

From my Evo via sheer will
[EVO 4G Android Development] ricsim78:
Glad you were finally able to download it, the download links were simply getting hammered.

I was not actually aware of a new OTA until I read your post. Been busy helping those with my ROM and setting up download links :)

I will look into it, I really did not want to update my ROM again, especially since everything I have heard for Azrael 2.21 has been very positive.

I wanted to take a moment and give a quick thanks to all the people who support me here. I know I am a new kid on the block (NOT to be confused with a certain 80's boy band!) but it is everyone here that keeps me interested in continuing work on my ROM. I do it for the fun and all of you as well.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ricsim78:
I posted a new poll on this thread about the new OTA. Let me know your thoughts about it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ricsim78:
I am going to update Azrael v2.21 to include the new OTA.

It will be called Azrael 2.3

For those who are content with 2.21, just keep it then.

This way you have a choice, keep what you got or download the new one.

I am not even 100% sure what the new OTA (I know it has a different HTC kernel) has but I think it is always best to have choice rather than be forced to go one way or the other. I may even keep 2.3 the same and the only change be the new OTA.

If I had known about the new OTA, I would have just waited a few days to release Azrael 2.21. This is how it goes though.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Novarider:
The link I provided took you to a battery symbol mod not a clock... I posted it to see if you could figure out what is wrong with it but I just read you are not a programer you just post stuff that already exists
[EVO 4G Android Development] ricsim78:
You are right, I meant battery symbol.

Unfortunately I am not at all a programmer. I am sure that OP will get it working right.

Testing Azrael 2.3 out right now. If it works links will be up soon.

The only change is going to be the new OTA and the system apps should be updated more. If you feel the update is worth it, grab it. If not, keep Azrael 2.21. I will keep both so you can download either.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ricsim78:
Azrael 2.3 out now everyone.

I am uploading to the other mirrors now. Will post links when uploads are finished.

Enjoy!
[EVO 4G Android Development] Trident:
LOL. I knew it would be good to wait.

FTR, Zshares is the worst file sharing site ever. I've never gotten better than 20KB/s from there, and it's usually closer to 10.

All the others give me 500-1000KB/s. Hm, 5 hrs vs 3-5 minutes. Tough choice. :eek:
[EVO 4G Android Development] ricsim78:
I promise, no more ROM upgrades for a while! I really did not to want to update it again, but I know this is one of the first custom ROMS to use the new OTA.

Zshare just happened to be the first one that the upload finished on. I also have had good luck with Zshare myself, but I think it is totally dependent on location. I think all the file sharing sites are about the same, Mediafire is good but my ROM is like 1-3 MB too big to fit on a free account. Pity.

In any case, enjoy!

[EVO 4G Android Development] Trident:
I totally agree with you.

Funny, I just tried to d/l the CF theme using MegaUpload and it froze on the last 100K for a few minutes.

[just finished flashing]

Please don't take this the wrong way... but one thing I don't use is ROMs where the boot screen has the name of the ROM and the authors name plastered on it. And while I don't mind the image of the grim reaper there, it's not what I want on my phone. I'll play with the ROM for a bit, but if I can't change that... it gets replaced.

I don't want you to think your work isn't appreciated... it is... it's just the way I am. If it makes me an ass, then so be it.

And a question... how does a new ROM get released by HTC/Sprint that doesn't include an update for VVM that's been showing up for a while?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Youthanasia:
just tried to flash 2.3 with rom manager and i got an error that said the zip was bad..

downloaded from 4share
[EVO 4G Android Development] Youthanasia:
sorry for the nooob ? can I install a rom with 3.30 over top 3.29 or do I have to update first
[EVO 4G Android Development] ricsim78:
I wouldn't exactly call you an ass for that (I would say nitpicky though), but considering it is my ROM I can basically put whatever I want in it. If you do not like it, you can always use another or make your own. No skin off my back either way.

Boot animations are easily replaced, if you still wish to use my ROM, replace it if you wish to whatever you want. Flash the new boot animation or replace bootanimation.zip in system/customize/resource. Simple really.

And as far as your question about the Sprint VVM, no idea. I thought it would be updated too. Thankfully it takes all of 10 seconds to update it.

Thank you for your appreciation of my work.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ricsim78:
Exactly what i advise against using ROM Manager. Install it with the recovery and you will be good to go. It is not a bad zip.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ricsim78:
Please read the entire first post and your answers lie in there. Thank you.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Youthanasia:
K thanks... deleted it anyhow from the sd installing from filefactory as we speak

will have to get myself away from rom manager......
[EVO 4G Android Development] ricsim78:
I have not had good luck with ROM Manager myself. I think the problem is it failed to download the entire ROM and then tried to install it.

The recovery is a lot better and safer to use. ROM manager is a great concept but I have had nothing but issues with it personally.

Hope you can get it running.
[EVO 4G Android Development] iknowsquat:
WTH?

Maybe I'm reading it wrong but....

His ROM didn't "already exist".

He tweaked the themes so they are fully compatible with his ROM.

Does he get any "developer" credit for that? He does in my book.
