I prefer the animation of 3.1 when pressing Menu. Right now it jumps up. I liked the way it was before, that it would sort of expand sideways. You know what I mean?

Would like Sprint Tv and Google Maps as a stock part of the rom
[EVO 4G Android Development] pastert33:
Those can always be added by a user.
[EVO 4G Android Development] j.price:
Atleast a removed apps folder with them in it
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
gmaps is included and so is a removed app folder on the sd with sprint tv inside...

wake up man,...
[EVO 4G Android Development] simongabriel:
I've been thinking about animation options like you asked in your PM, and it's funny, I know ones I don't like more than ones I do. Like the one that like scrolls from left to right on every screen redraw, that can be a bit ... not annoying, but in that direction. I think what would be nice would maybe be an animation that started from the bottom center and expanded out to fill the screen? Not sure if that's possible, but that would be slick.
[EVO 4G Android Development] j.price:
Wasn't there for me. Sorry
[EVO 4G Android Development] rde34:
Any opinion on whether the latest OTA is a universal release or just for hardware version 0004? With this ROM my battery life is solid. I was just wondering if you thought that 3.30.651.2 perhaps works better for earlier hardware EVO's and 3.30.651.3 is specific to 0004 EVO's with the camera issue people have posted about? Just curious...
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
its actually doable... the only thing is that for every screen that comes in there is an anim for the one going out... i hope u get what im saying...

and... for some screen u need a 200, 300 ms delay other wise youll miss the anim cuz it was still loading while it played... thats why transition animations can take some time to perfect even if u know what u doing... anyways...

i think i get exactly what u saying... middle point on the bottom and the screen kinda expands from that point into the full screen.

im not sure how to make it look good though cuz the x axis is much shorter than the y axis... speeds of expanding being the same is easy... cuz i can set from 0% to 100% in the and in the y... so thats not a big problem... ill try it and see how it will look.

so far i found flipping and zoomin/zoomout the easiest cuz its not a special thing to do...

i know u like to read about stuff... u can check out the android dev web site and see that its really not that bad to make your own... but will require knowing what file does what etc.

or u can go the easy way and set one or two of the same anim to entire phone instead of 70 diff ones(35 cuz of the in-out thing).

anyways... ill try to send u something later tonight or tomorrow once i actually work on it a little to see if thats what u meant.

it should have been there... i cant see how not...

if anything u might have had doubles in th data/app folder... but the sd card apps... there is no way they were not there.
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
i really dont have an opinion... this update will not be something big cuz there is nothing big to add now... unless i find something over the weekend that would make change more than a couple of files... im sticking with whats there now plusminus a few things.

as for the whole 004 thing... lets just say im happy im sticking to calk's port of 2.2.1 for now.
[EVO 4G Android Development] simongabriel:
In reading through the dev guide Mik, there is also mention of using fade animations. Rather than a sliding left to right or bottom to top or whatever animation, would it be possible to just have a say 'left to right fade' animation? so it fades in over the old screen, kind of like how movies do transition fades?

Here is the brief bit I'm reading:

http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/resources/animation-resource.html

I'm sure there's more depth in here somewhere, and I'm looking for more details...
[EVO 4G Android Development] mplaines:
Mik is there anyway to add the Riptides9 GlassRosie_ClearGlassDialer? I think it would look great with the theme you have going now or can I just flash their addon?
[EVO 4G Android Development] n7aq00:
I keep on getting a bootloop whenever I try to flash the animations...
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
it specifically says that it wont work with the power control, which means it might have issues with v3.2 and up.

if there is anything specific u wanted let me know ill make u a zip with it.

here is the thing...

the bottom bar and buttons on it are universal through the htc resources file... so that can't happen unless i work really hard on the dialer apk... but as far as the digits and background for them ill take a look to so how it will end up.

possible... but i think it would end up looking like the original animations that comes with the phone.

edit:

thanks for that link btw... now i know a little more about the interpolations.
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
ok guys... im uploading the rosie 4x5 layout with all the htc widgets fixed to fit that layout.

now...

please let me know how u like it cuz thats something im using myslef and im thinking about using it on the rom as the default layout.

in case u dont get what this mod is... it would basically allow u to have more shortcuts on the screen.

normally Rosie has a 4x4 layout which means 4 shortcuts from right to left and 4 from top to bottom.

with this mod u will have 4 from left to right and 5 from top to bottom.

i had to do some work to make all the htc widgets fit on the screen and i would like to add that the htc clock animations were a ***** to change.

keep in mind that this will not effect any outside widgets... only the htc had to be adjust while every other widget would work perfect the way it is originally made.

i would personally recommend using that mod cuz i use it... i just wanna see how many people like it also so i would know if i should include it by default or leave it as a mod.

anyways... here is the zip... ill add a screen shot a little later.

please note that in order to ensure there is not problem i made the zip remove all of your old layout... so u will get the stock look after flashing.

MikFroyo-Rosie-4x5-Layout

edit:

updated the third post with this mod.
[EVO 4G Android Development] semperlux:
I've been using this ROM [MikFroYo v3.2] for three days and (so far) is the best ROM for my phone. Thank you, I'm impressed.

Look and feel is unique and tastefully integrated with Sense (and I don't like Sense).

The web feels faster.

transition animations are appropriate.

Feels finished.

I might try this kernel with other ROMs, On my phone, it actually feels faster than CM6 (nightly)

:D Looking forward to updates.
[EVO 4G Android Development] killhr:
Loving this rom so far this is but the only problem im having is pandora will not update it keeps saying unsuccessful if you can help thanks if not thanks for the rom any way lol
[EVO 4G Android Development] semperlux:
Here's what I did and it seemed to work. I went into Program Management, cleared the data and history then uninstalled Pandora. Reboot my phone and returned to the Market and downloaded Pandora. This seemed to work for me. Something like this happened when I was using CM6 and I couldn't update to the new YouTube.

Good luck
[EVO 4G Android Development] Shauli20:
This Pandora version seems to have been slightly modified, and therefore doesn't update from the market. I had a similar issue with flash player when using Ava's fixed flash. Just uninstall it and then download Pandora from the market if you want to be able to update.

Mik, will the new zip you put up for the 4×5 layout wipe my home screens layout? And will it overwrite the right key remapping to camera?

Sent from my EVO rockin' MikFroYo!
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
yes it will wipe.... and yes will overwrite since its a different rosie file.

but u can reflash the different remapped rosie again right after.

btw... i only really took care of the weather animations on the clock for it being on the very top... so please dont blame me if the anim is off if u move the clock down.
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
im happy u like...

im even happier u saying my tweaks make the rom feel faster than cm, and u sound like a guy that loves cm.

btw... the speed is also related to the kernel of course... but its also very much related to the tweaks i made to a lot of the packages which makes everything feel faster. (i basically speed up delay/loading/transitions times etc. and cut out a lot of the useless htc "preloaded" screens)

i think i said it before... making everything run faster is the easy part... finding the balance between speed and having the phone not lagging from time to time is the hard part. (especially since all devices are slightly different).

anyways... i dont think ill update soon cuz theres nothing big going on that really requires an update... i will change up somethings and put it up as mods for now (im trying to make some animations from scratch).

feel free to give suggestions btw.
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
guys... one quick question... just cuz i've been thinking about it for a little while...

would u like to see all of rosie and the htc widgets in white?

here a quick screen shot of basically an inverted picture of the current theme only to show how it will kinda look like.

please dont mind the icons colors... just notice the widgets, etc.
[EVO 4G Android Development] TweetyBear:
i like the way they are now actually, black. too much white makes me feel like it's winter lol reminds me of snow :p
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
gotya... well... the whole idea is that it should also give u better vision during day time.. atleast thats what i think.

when its bright i would like to think that black on white is more clear than white on black.

but i can see how it might be too much... but than again those images are not exactly how it will look like... just similar to it.

it will be a little more silver than white.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Shauli20:
I really think it would depend on the wallpaper your using. Some wallpapers go better with a white theme, while others with dark. So it may be nice to have both options to flash.

Sent from my EVO rockin' MikFroYo!
[EVO 4G Android Development] mplaines:
You got my vote:D
[EVO 4G Android Development] semperlux:
I see where you're going with this and like it. Users will add whatever wallpaper they like but I would throw in some brushed metal textures with desaturated blue/yellow to give the white/silver widgets a platform. Contrasting values are ideal for daytime use. CM6 gives users a choice between STOCK, STOCK_BLACK and just WHITE. Maybe you can offer something similar. I'd mock it for ya' but I'm holding my 3 week old daughter and she's pissed off.
[EVO 4G Android Development] simongabriel:
The white does look nice, but keep in mind that it's going to likely use more battery if it's a widget you have up a lot. Not _that_ much difference, but definitely does use more battery with white widgets.
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
i can kinda see what u saying here... but im not sure that will always be the case... the screen should require more power to show brighter images... but i really dont think it will be to a point of noticeable difference.

anyways... as u might have guessed im gonna focus more on some different mod etc cuz there is no real reason to update the rom with anything besides the new version of busy box and maybe add apps2sd...

but thats something that will come later on... im just waiting for a new ota to be pushed or maybe a port of the newer 2.2.1 android.

but no real reason to update anything yet.

anyways... the white widgets will probably come up in a day or two at most.

i was thinking about also changing some of the UI to white... but that could really take forever.

im gonna avoid touching the htc resources and basically insert images into the widgets apks themselves so they should also load faster. (usually all of the htc apps and widgets call files and functions from inside the htc resources and the android resources)

anyways... thats the plan for now... im getting more and more pissed off at the transition animations im trying to make so im sort of giving up doing more than just tweaking them slightly to act a little more like what i want instead of doing them from scratch.

edit:

guys... i just did a quick search on google... i found out that my theme and rom has been ported to Chinese and for the HD2 etc.

it just surprises me that stuff gets around without me even knowing anything... not that i mind cuz obviously my name and the rom's name showup... but still very surprising to see people use it for more than just an evo rom.... now im sure my rom is "not just another themed evo".
[EVO 4G Android Development] mplaines:
That's great news the rom is picking up a large fan base :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] semperlux:
Take "that", MIUI! LOL... ( I actually really like Miui ROM).
[EVO 4G Android Development] simongabriel:
That's pretty awesome that someone just up and ported it over to Chinese. You should keep an eye on that port, see if they add anything above and beyond what you've done, maybe we can port their changes back, if they are worth it. :D
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
from what i saw it was ported for the hd2 as a theme for some rom and obviously they needed to change it to fit Chinese etc.... besides that there was the obvious change of some drivers and such.
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
the only reason i dont like miui is cuz i dont want an iphone like ui on my phone...

not to say that its not really a cool thing what they did... but everything that is kinda like something else seems cheap to me.
[EVO 4G Android Development] killhr:
I have to say this is my favorite rom now but i had a question and its ive downloaded a few apps to my pc but when i try to install them i keep getting not install oh yea i sent them to my phone via dropbox so if you can help thanks if not thanks for the rom

Ok now i just tried to udate some apps on appbrain and im getting unsuccessful installation
[EVO 4G Android Development] xxbabiboi228xx:
I hear you on that cant stand the over rated iphone myself
[EVO 4G Android Development] semperlux:
I'm with you there. I think it's really cool but I ultimately installed ADW just to see what it would do. At this point I've tried a crap-load of ROMs and admittedly, MIUI is the strangest one, LOL.
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
mmm...

since u downloaded them from a website i would have to suspect it might not have been download right.

there is also the option that the app exists on the phone already and is inside the system/app folder... in that case sometimes u would need to remove that app from the system/app folder...

these are probably the main reason... i would need to know what message u getting when it fails.... also, what apps r they?

and btw... if u trying to install an app using adb u should add the "update" command to it cuz otherwise it wont overwrite the existing app.

when i say update i mean:

adb install -r blabla.apk

Mik, what is the name of the ringtone ?? lol.. its a keeper..
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
its best if u do... but u might not have to.

i added a fix permission script to the flashing process just in case u guys dont wipe... but that script could also make some of your apps disappear if the sigs dont match.

if u really dont want to wipe.... try without... worst case youll need reflash and wipe everything if not wiping didnt work good.

didnt try it yet.

i named it RingRing

This is not really related, but I was just wondering if anyone knows if there is a way to get the Quick Lookup APK which is added on to the stock browser as a standalone app in the app drawer? I often want to use its features, like for looking up a word definition.

guys... i checking out ziggy's kernel now... i would like to know if anyone else is using it it cuz i cant test 4g and hdmi.

so far it been pretty stable and i got an avg of 39-40 on linpack with it and an avg in the 1500 for quadrant.

im asking u guys cuz if batt life will do good for me on it i will be making the switch to that kernel in the future and i would love to know that 4g and hdmi is fully working for u guys before i do that.
[EVO 4G Android Development] shawnten:
it all works for me and on the smartass governor when the screen is off the battery doesnt drain at all. It drains about 5% in eight hours of sleep for me at night..
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
ok guys... after my first attempt at making everything white... i reached the conclusion that all white is not such a good idea... the reason is even though i was able to remove move most of the "function calls" that the widgets makes for the htc resources files... it still got somethings going on that r a little beyond my knowledge to get rid of.

i know how to do it while keeping the htc widgets dependency on the htc framework... but not without.. which is what i was kinda going for here... but that would also mean that u guys would have been able to basically make them run on any other launcher... and like i said.. thats a little beyond my knowledge.

but... in the process of doing it i found a different look for it... here is a quick preview of how i will make all the widgets look like.

so far i perfected only friends stream but the plan is to have all the htc widgets looking kinda like that on the screens by default.

i think its a much better match than the black for the overall theme....

i've taken a screen shot with a few different backgrounds so u guys can see it will look good on light backs or dark backs.

edit:

ill be adding more screens as i make more progress... so u guys can check back on this post every now and then.

edit2:

these changes makes me want to change everything to black on white instead of white on black... but that would really take forever... i do however would love someone to share the work with if anyone is up for it and knows how to do it... changing the UI completely to a black on white could be really cool.

edit3:

i removed the photos cuz i'd rather show u guys a more "done" version of it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
sounds good... but so far i actually played angry bird for 2 hours... and my batt went from 100% to 15%... so im not sure what up with that... on king i was able to watch 3 hours of south park episodes on wifi before hitting the 10-15%.

but we'll see how it works on my phone in the long term.
[EVO 4G Android Development] coldheater:
IN the screenshots above, it it shows you how to change the CPS from 1ghz to 1.267. I don't see that feature in the rom, or do I need to add something additional to be able to do that? I thought it was built in the rom.
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
some software is not allowed to be put on roms... kinda sucks... especially since its kinda free.
