[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
ok guys... so after thinking through it a little bit.. i've decided that i will only put up here the rom i personally use and focus more on mods and themes in the future...

so with that said i will upload my rom later tonight with the new twist animations i made, and all the tiny extras.

there has been a lot of tiny things i tweaked and added/removed over the last month of running ver 3.2 so i cant possibly put a full changelog that would indicate all of them.

the goal here would be to make sure u guys are seeing what im seeing (always has been for the most part also), so that any issues u might have i will be able to address properly.

personally i dont think anyone really had any issues with my rom besides some that had hardware mismatch for some reason.

as soon as finals kick out ill start working on a bunch of projects like the dusk theme, taking chingy rosie mods and making them work on all roms, perfecting the 4x5 mod even more, inversing the screens colors (black on white instead of white on black for the contacts/dialer, etc), and much much more.

those projects are the main reason i wanna put up one rom for u guys that will be exactly as the one i use currently and u would be able to apply all the different mods ill make and such to my rom or on any other rom of your choice.

i always hated it when people made things that only works for one kind of rom and such, so i would even take it on me to fix up things for people that got things not working if im asked to.

anyways... look for an update tonight.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mplaines:
Have you tried cpu tuner its in the market? You might want to look into it to possibly include in the rom. I like it better than the SuperPower program. Just an idea :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] zerowonderboy:
Is there a reason that the download in the setcpu thread is a zip because I cant download it. Im on my evo btw
[EVO 4G Android Development] drslevy:
I would just like to express my Thanks to you and your hard work. if i had the extra cash i would definately donate. i love your ROM's and enough ppl dont tell you thanks enough. Looking forward to more of your work and when i can i will definately donate.
[EVO 4G Android Development] zerowonderboy:
I totally agree thanks a ton mik I love the rom
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
a lot of people are on this forum and other forums for freebies... thats how its always been and thats how it will always be.

i know... cuz i used to be one until i taught my self how to do stuff with my phones, only then figured i can sort of give some back.

thats one of the reasons i never even had a donation link until maybe a moth ago.

anyways... the new rom will have to wait a little bit longer (probably tomorrow morning at the latest).

i made two kind of animations.... but ill give u guys my twisting ver by default cuz the other ones i made are kinda like launcher pro fade in/out for all the transitions (a little more clean and simple).

i hope u guys liked the white widgets and the 4x5 workspace... cuz like i said before... that will be the default for now.

and if u dont u can always flash the black theme on top of it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] TweetyBear:
can't wait for a new rom to flash. haven't flashed since the last being busy w school n all. i'll flash whatever u put out :p
[EVO 4G Android Development] jlip5617:
Yeah I'm pretty stoked for the exact ROM your usin

[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
sorry guys...

school is gonna become an all day thing for me today...

i will have to make this update happen a little later.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jlip5617:
So are you thinkin today still for your version of your Rom? Lol that was weird to say Haha

sent from my MikFroyo evo
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
im fixing up last minute tiny changes... like tiny graphics and things like that.

im also not sure if i should include my "iphone like" transitions i made (not like myn's... mine actually look like the iphone anim), or my twist (which are basically spinning the screen in and out).

anyways... hopefully tonight.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jlip5617:
Well the twist animations sound really cool! Imo I would go with those :-)

I'm curious, what did you change in the kernal? I'm very interested In better battery life!

sent from my MikFroyo evo
[EVO 4G Android Development] zerowonderboy:
Exactly what i was thinking jlip
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
i changed some modules in that i grabbed from the backedsnake...

i know they have something to do with the kernel... but im not 100% sure whats going on with them.... i just noticed it gave me a little bit more battery.

btw... for better batt life simply dont overclock and make sure u have a profile for screen off set at the low end... thats pretty basic settings... of course using extra software that controls more options on the phone and such might help.

anyways... batt life is not something thats global... there is too many variables in that equation that can throw things off.

anyways... i guess my point is that just because something should work a certain way it doesn't mean it actually works exactly the same for everyone.

anyways... all i have left to do is to change up maybe 50-100 images (since u use my rom u should have noticed that im picky with all the tiny things that nobody else cares about) and brush up the animations a tiny bit more to be exactly how i wanted them to be.

edit:

btw... i would love it if someone can throw some ideas at me with the animations... i think i finally got how exactly to make those ideas happen.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jlip5617:
Well I'm kinda excited to see the twist animations but do you have a zip file of the iPhone like animations? I would be willing to give them a try. Yeah Miko I really appreciate all the fine tuning you do on your ROM, I think I speak for everyone by saying that's why its our favorite!

sent from my MikFroyo evo
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
I have like 10 different versions of animations I made...

But not all perfect.

Anyways... I call it twist cuz the transitions kinda rotate on a pivot.

I also made screen switching up and down... kinda as if u scrolling.

Also growing from the middle bottom/top.

The iPhone is basically like the way launcher pro animations r... I hope u know what I mean.

I got a bunch of other weird combos I made also...

Ill probably put it out there for people to mix it up anyways they want though.

Anyways, I will say sorry again... but I probably wont put it up until tomorrow or Friday.

I jumped ahead of myself cuz I thought ill have a little bit of time... but I didn't.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jlip5617:
its all good man. school comes first, i've been there too. have a good one!
[EVO 4G Android Development] str8chillin1805:
4G???

Jus curious...is 4G capable of running on this rom?
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
Everything works on my rom as far as I can tell.

V3.2 has been out for about a month now... with something like 2000 downloads... so if no one said anything about it... I'm sure its not an issue.
[EVO 4G Android Development] cochese2323:
How does one get the vanilla lock screen from the screen shots?
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
search for the htc lockscreen removing zip...

many devs made one like that... thats why i never bothered to make one also.
[EVO 4G Android Development] drslevy:
Theres been one thing thats been bothering me. whenever i try to install a zip file from other developers, they never seem to work. is there a specific reason for this. An example of this was a different boot animation that goodandevo.net had recommended. i tried to install the zip and it installed but didnt work. there have been a few others so im wondering if im doing something wrong or is it that it has to be specific to your build or something.
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
for the boot amination i changed the path... i said it a couple of times in the past...

anyways... stock roms have it set inside the customize path... for it to work on mine u need to place the bootanimation.zip inside /system/media/

than it will work.

u dont need to flash a zip for it to work... although a lot of us like to think its easier...

just use root explorer or adb to place the file from the flashable u tried inside that folder and it will work.

btw... osrry that i dont thing exactly like most dev's do... but thats what kinda makes my rom unique.

another quick note... if u tried a different theme on the rom i would say it out loud and blame the person who made the theme for it not working... the reason for that is again, something i said in the past... but i will repeat.

most of the guys/gals that make themes usually resign some apk's or theme a package from a rom that already resigned that package... once they do that the sigs change... if the sigs change, they wont match the original htc sigs... thats why u see a bunch of themes that basically dont work on all roms... its an easy fix to make... but most dont bother.

of course sometimes they theme things that are based on other factors like the htc resources files and or the framework of a specific rom... but thats also something they can fix by simply including it in the zip...

(keep in mind im talking out of experience and not any professional info here, but still... bottom line, if i can make things work on all roms so can they)

anyways... i hope that helped u with what to do with the boot animation and why somethings wont work unless u r on the same rom the theme was made on.

also, if u need more help... i can make everything fit on all roms... so feel free to ask.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jlip5617:
Well I guess ill take the opportunity to ask since you offered... I tried to flash an ncx theme called "acid green, v.5" and I tried v. 6 and it just created an endless boot loop. Is there any way to make his themes work with your ROM?

sent from my MikFroyo evo
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
didnt look at it, but i know its for a different device...

i'm sure i can port it... but that will have to wait longer.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jlip5617:
Yeah its for the incredible but I thought it might have worked since they are almost the same... if you could look at it that would be awesome!

sent from my MikFroyo evo
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
take your time... but i would need a link to what u want... and not only to the thread... the file itself also.
[EVO 4G Android Development] drslevy:
just curious aamikam but what are u studying if you dont mind me asking. myself im part time junior studying electrical engineering
[EVO 4G Android Development] cochese2323:
This ROM is pretty sweet. I have had my evo now for about a month. I rooted it a couple weeks ago and have been flashing a new ROM pretty much every other day since then. I really like the way this looks and it is nice and smooth. Looking forward to your future work. Thanks again!
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
EE senior full time... i gotta try to go part time though, i got too much going on besides school.
[EVO 4G Android Development] drslevy:
LMAO, funny, im thinking the opposite. i need to go to school full time so i can get it over with ASAP
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
the last 3 years have been full time... and now im getting to a point where i gotta fixup a lot of things that has nothing to do with school... so this semster i might be failing one class for the first time... so i know i gotta be a little bit less in school.

i can give u guys updates and things cuz its easy for me to do stuff like this pretty quick and move on, well... that, and im also up like 20 hours a day.

school is getting to be really hard now though... so i dont have much of a choice but to try and take it easier... it has been a nightmare so far to manage everything going full time.

hopefully they will give me special permission to go part time.
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
ok guys im done with making the zips for the new rom.

ill be putting them up here in about 2 hours or so.

2 versions will be up... one for a clean install and one will be an update.

ill post a little more about it after i upload it... i will also add 3-5 different kind of animations for u guys to choose from.
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
ok guys... new rom is up... i will be adding a few more animations for u guys to pick from in a little bit... so if u dont like the rotating ones... there will be more options.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ronnybej60:
the link isn't working. it doesn't allow me to download the rom. any ideas?

and the rom looks great, thanks for your hard work.
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
can u not d/l from mediafire?

i only put up one mirror for this version... and i double checked both links... not to mention that there has already been like 50 d/l.

i dont mind uploading it to multiupload as i usually do also. if that will help u.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ronnybej60:
hmm, thats odd. It works now. Maybe just some bad luck lol well thanks for the rom, its gorgeous.
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
this sucks... not even 30 min after putting up the rom gmail gets an update.

anyways... im sorry guys... i usually skin the gmail menus also to match the theme... so if u update it will go away.

but i will put up an update for it tomorrow... i still gotta make u guys the animations zips i promised...

it does seems like it will take a little longer though.

again... school keeps breathing down my neck.
[EVO 4G Android Development] hellorenauldo:
Dude, I have always been a fan of anything panda themed. I have to say (even before downloading the new rom) I have gotten the best battery life and performance out of your roms. I think I may have gotten a day and a half off of 1 charge with moderate to heavy usage.

So, im stoked for this one. downloading now... :D
[EVO 4G Android Development] mplaines:
Flashing the UpDate now...... Will keep ya posted!
[EVO 4G Android Development] Envynet:
Fantastic job, please keep this going! :D:D:D:D
[EVO 4G Android Development] zerowonderboy:
The setcpu profiles seem to be gone.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mplaines:
Ok flashed the update file I did not wipe. Phone hung on first boot, I waited 20minutes. Pulled battery everything fine the only issue I had was that all my text messages were gone which is not an issue for me. Loving it thus far waiting to see how battery life is. Snappy rom. I like what I see. Thumbs Up :D
[EVO 4G Android Development] Shauli20:
Mik, do you recommend the clean install?

Also, where did you post the animations? In the 3rd post? (I saw some there, but I think those were there before.)

Sent from my EVO rockin' MikFroYo!
[EVO 4G Android Development] evohog:
Trying out your work for the first time and I have to say I regret not trying it sooner. Damn its smooth and fast as hell. The browser loads almost instantly and the look of it is sweet. Thanks for sharing.
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
im not sure that happened to u... the update is basically exactly as if u would do a clean install only it doesnot effect your data partition cuz nothing gets added to it so that there will be no conflicts.

the reason i did it like that is to make sure u will get a sort of a clean updated version without removing all of your personal info and apps from the phone.

i'm not sure why it took away all of your text messages though... maybe i should look at the script again.

i didnt put up new animations up yet... i will once i get a chance... btw... if u go to spareparts and slow down the animations to normal speed it looks much better.

i tweak time delays and such in all the packages, so sometime i make it too fast.

a clean install is always good... but the way i made the update file should work just as good cuz it still formats the old system but doesn't touch your data.

im happy u like.

like i said above... i tweak many of the delay times so that everything is pooping up faster.

im glad u like... and i will keep it going as long as i have time to do so.

it is fun, after all.

i took out the profiles cuz i dont think there is a special need to use profiles... i actually stopped overclocking and just set it to low freq when screen is off.

there is also a bunch of other softwares that popped out recently and some work better than setcpu... so i figured u can guys can manage that on your own.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Bkz_flyest:
I like this rom.. but I had my phone off the charger and was just looking at the feature's for 6 mins.. and my battery was at 91% ..Not sure why..
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
ok... when u flash the rom... bat stat gets wiped... so u can judge it at first.

also, the first 10% of the batt (from 100-90) go down faster due to the phone saying its full when its not really at 100% (do a search and u will see that what im saying here is true).

to judge batt life though... u should give it a couple of days... thats first thing u gotta know.

second... just cuz king kernel like my phone, it doesn't mean that it has to like yours also.

so u can always try a different kernel if u not happy with batt life.

for example... i used ziggy before... dude.,.. my batt went dead in like 4 hours, while for others it lasts the longest... so u cant tell until u try it out for a while.

of course u gotta keep in mind that syncing processes and reception and a bunch of other things comes into play also.

i always find it funny that people compare batt life... truth is u cant really compare 100% cuz there are so many different factors coming into play u will never get the same result... u could have it better or the guy next to u could.

of course we know that some things would work better than others when it comes to kernels and how they are set to work... but the bottom line is that u cant really be sure how it will play out for u until u try it.

i know in a lot of threads dev's say that the batt will be longer and such... but what they mean is that it "should" be longer cuz of the changes they made.

it doesn't mean that it will actually be longer for each and every dude/gal that uses it.

i hope u get my point here.... so just check out the stock one i have on the rom for a day or two... and if u not happy move on to a diff one until u find the one that gives u what u want. (same goes for picking a rom also btw)
[EVO 4G Android Development] TMartin:
Hey aamikam,

Would you mind posting a mirror for the full wipe?? I can't seem to grab the newest version from Mediafire. I can download 3.2 from mediafire. I've tried downloading the latest from Firefox, Chromium and from the stock web browser from my Evo. Thanks buddy.
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
sure man... i was kinda thinking that since ginger came out, people will wait on that before jumping into another froyo rom.

thats why i didnt mirror it too much like i usually do.

btw... since u trying it from the actual phone... i kinda noticed something... some roms seems to not be able to d/l zip files from sharing websites for some reason.

i think it might have something to do with framework files and/or some packages that have been taken out... but im not sure.

it's just something that i noticed a while back while checking out all the roms around to find a good base for mine. but i could be way off on this one.

anyways...

here u go a multiupload mirror:

Mirror
[EVO 4G Android Development] TMartin:
Since you brought this up....The reason is because the phone actually stops getting charged when it reaches 95%. Someone hacked this for the Desire (I think that phone). You could always port it over lol.

Thanks for the mirror.

I haven't ever noticed this. Every ROM I build is based off a stock RUU and I haven't had the issue until now. I though it was strange since I also couldn't download it from multiple browsers on Ubuntu either. Who knows lol.
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
could u link me to it.... it would be interesting to see what was done.
[EVO 4G Android Development] HYDE1000:
Just flashed this and it is by far my favorite. I LOVE this ROM. 5X4 makes much better use of the screen and the aesthetics are amazing! However, I do prefer the HTC Sense lock screen because it allows me to change music without having to unlock. Is there a way to go back to the Sense lock screen?

Also, is it possible to use the keyboard below? (Not sure if that is Sense or not) I like how this keyboard has a button to access the speaker, but I would trade that for a button to collapse the keyboard like the stock on has.

Not trying to knock the ROM at all, just want to make it better suit my needs. Thanks in advance.
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
attached zips for what u need...

btw, if u on v3.2... feel free to update... there has been enough changes that its worth it.

unless u like the black widgets... than i still gotta make changes to those.
[EVO 4G Android Development] TMartin:
Found it

10Char
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
good one... but it seems i would need to compile my own kernel to get this going.

thats one thing i never really took a close look into, but i probably should.

edit:

i looked around a little... and some say that cuz we dont have the same driver applying that fix wont really work for us... but u can never know, might be worth a shot since our phone demonstrates the same behavior.
[EVO 4G Android Development] TMartin:
Yea...I haven't dived into that either.

Side Note: Where did this 'Thanks' button come from?? lol
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
what "Thanks" button?

i saw it on here for one day and then it disappeared (blue and yellow)... but im not sure we talking about the same thing here.
[EVO 4G Android Development] HYDE1000:
Wow, thanks for such a fast response!! I flashed both of the files and had mixed results. The ROMs lock screen was replaced with the vanilla one, not the Sense one. Did I do something wrong?

The keyboard zip is exactly what I was looking for. Thank you so much! :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
i uploaded a zip with htc lockscreen... thats what u wanted no?

i thought u removed the htc lockscreen and got vanilla instead... but now u wanted the htc one back.

i gave u my white lock screen and not the stock one cuz there are more changes inside the htc resources that would require u to have a white background on the lockscreen cuz if its black u wont see the text...

did u want the stock lockscreen skin on it?
[EVO 4G Android Development] HYDE1000:
I am probably using the wrong name. This is the lockscreen that I am talking about. The one that came stock with the EVO. I thought it was called Sense. Any thoughts?
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
ok... gotya... so u want the actual stock rom look on it.

well... thats a little bit more work than what i can do now cuz it has a lot to do with files inside the htc resources... i did take apart the widgets and made them seperate... also the dialer and htc dialer (yes both files are used to give u the htc dialer skin not just one of them).

i will make a version of my lockscreen that will be separate from the htc resources cuz i wanna add buttons to it and such some time next week... until then i dont think the white one is that bad.

once i do that u can skin the lockscreen anyway u want without touching the htc resources... im doing the same thing for chingy rosie mods/skins so that we can make all of them fit all roms and not just myn's one.

anyways... i will have to say sorry but u will have to wait on it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] HYDE1000:
Ok, I didn't realize your white lock screen will do exactly what I want. I reflashed the ROM and the keyboard you provided me and it is perfect now. Thank you very much for the quick answers and support. IMO, this is the most attractive and useful ones out there.
