ok... so this is how things kinda look now.

i gotta finish up the my white version of the theme... which is going pretty good... but still somethings i cant seem to find how to change (htc references to different files/scripts are really all over the place).

now... once im done with that, and ill finish up with my finals at school ill take a look at all the launchers.

it seems that launcher pro and adw are the popular ones.. but i never used any of them for more than 5 minutes... so i dont really know how to work with them yet... but im sure it will be much easier than sense is.

u also gotta keep in mind that im not sure how to go about theming an app that cost money (launcher pro free version is probably not what i would wanna do), so i might need to learn how to use metamorph to make that happen.

i can't really promise i will end up theming it though... i would like to think that once the newer sense will come over to us a lot of people would prefer to stick to that... i really think that my 4x5 mod for rosie also make sense a little more comfortable to use.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mplaines:
Mik so in essence this is the only Riptides9 theme that can be flashed without any issues on the MikFroYo rom correct?
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
I kinda explained why themes might not work on my rom...

I really think its not my fault cuz they r the ones that don't use the HTC sig's...

its really simple to fix it though if u want all themes to fit... I really think all the themers should actually do it the way i do cuz then thier theme will work on all roms.

U need to look inside the Meta-inf folder and check the file "cert.rsa" using a text editor.

It will look like a big mess... but u should spot this inside:

"android@htc.com"

If u don't see it but see this instead;

"android@android.com"

It means that the file was resinged with a test sig or what ever else they used.

keep in mind that u would need to check only the htc apps... not the other ones.

Now... what u wanna do when u spot a file like that is to simply take the original apk from my rom or any other stock rom that has htc apks with original htc sigs and simply replace the meta-inf folder and the manifest.xml file.

I'm whiling to bet that anyone that got ripidies theme working can't dl new htc Widgets just cuz he don't use htc sigs... the version I put up does.. so u can.

I hope its not too complicated for u to do.

But u do need to understand that I can't cleanup all themes to make sure they work.

I'm not sure what rom that theme is based on/ built on, but I'd bet my rom is not the only one that failed running it.

But, if u do as I explained above any theme u want will work on any rom u on for sure.

If u run into issues let me know...
[EVO 4G Android Development] mplaines:
Ok cool I was just wondering cause I saw the Riptide9_ClearFroyoV9_For_MikFroYo-signed.zip
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
yea... someone asked me to take a look at it... he got boot loops and such.

the only thing i changed in there was to make sure that the sigs are how they supposed to be.

actually... u only really need to resign an apk if u wanna install it, not if u gonna push into the system folder.

that why there is a general rule for dealing with apk... which say:

system apk u dont resign.

anyways...

i put the "for_mikfroyo" on it cuz i was kinda letting the guy that asked for it test first... but it worked so i left it up there.

it should actually work on any rom.

if u want to flash something specific feel free to nand backup and try it... if it fails... the sigs is probably why.

if u dont know how to do what i explained 2 posts up... let me know ill fix it for u.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mplaines:
I got a lot of folks on the facebook/evophone page running your rom. Everyone love it. Great job.
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
i noticed u've been pimping the ladies over there to use my rom.

i looked at it a couple of times since u told me there is even such a thing and im happy people like it.

btw... feel free to grab any ideas they might put out there... after doing everything in white i'll need another project.

i was thinking about porting the dusk theme for the evo cuz i saw a buch of people wanting it... lucky for me i still have most of the windows mobile manila files kinda memorized from theming my old diamond rom and i still have all the software to extract the icons and images.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mplaines:
Ok cool this rom is nice whether you use themes or not. The dusk theme should be rather easy for you as you already have everything you need. Looking forward to testing your themes.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Glockshooter:
I just loaded your goods Mik.Really a good job but I am looking forward to the white you are working on.I use a lot of HTC so I can test if you hit me up with them.
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
im done with the white theme... just s few issues im working on... not everything looks good in white so im basically taking apart the htc resources and inserting them into the actual packages.

it really takes forever to do though... so since school i kicking back up for me on monday and finals are coming up... im not really sure when ill have it ready.

those who know me from my diamond roms and from my work on converting packages from wvga to vga know that im really picky with all the tiny detail and almost never miss any detail... so i would hate putting out something that im not happy with yet.

ill be sure to send u a link to more "close to being done" version once im fairly happy with how it looks.

in the mean time i'll probably put up a version that will only have the widgets in white sometime tomorrow.

edit:

btw... first ill put up a version for the 4x5 layout cuz thats what i personally use... later i will have to port those changes to the 4x4 layout also.

how do i overclock using this rom? I have downloaded setcpu
[EVO 4G Android Development] apheonixboy:
So far im the first to make it on the AirBench website with you're rom lol. I had alot running in the background with 8% battery, and these were the results:

I agree with you the 4x5 is dogs nuts man:cool:.Looking forward to seeing the first roll out.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mplaines:
What kernel do you guys like running on this rom? I'm using the netarchy -toastmod-4.2 battery life is decent.
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
there is really nothing special to it... just open up setCPU... profiles should be running already but if u wanna change it simply change some settings.
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
i think ziggy gives the best benchmark results...

but, battery kinda sucks on it... its fine if u not using the phone, or using it to make phone calls, but as soon as u turn it on and start some web or games or anything else... batt goes down like crazy... angry birds took me me down from 100% to 15% in less than 2 hours (not overclocked).

i also tried king #12 for a while... but boot animation had a weird lag, and batt was pretty much same as #11.

netarchy overall felt the snappiest for me, but batt wasn't as good as king #11 for me.

i never tried using any stock kernels though.
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
i never heard if that benchmark... i read a little after u posted it... but still not sure how to really translate your results and whether i should be happy about them or not.

anyways... im happy u like the rom... i wish more of my rom users will comment on it cuz so far a lot of people dont.
[EVO 4G Android Development] apheonixboy:
That's true. I remember when I first rooted my evo. I had an iphone before and I would jailbreak others like crazy. But im new to android and ever since I got my evo, I was a lil nervous about rooting it. And well I had Azraels rom before and it was alright. And I hunted more down until I saw yours. I can say you did a badass job with the whole rom. Im ovetclocked and everything works nice. I got the droid x keyboard which is black and red and basically everything I can customize is black and red. But I like your white layout. White being one of my fav colors. And to top it off, I enjoy having your rom since many of my Evo friends get jealous because thiers are stock and get normal benchmark results when comparing to mine. Even my store manager asks me how I got it to work so nicely! All I said that it has MikFroyo in it. You wouldn't imagine his gesture lol. But like I said, keep it up. Its an awesome rom. If there's something id like to see, it would be a nice red layout. Or Red borders or something. :) then again, that's just my thing. "Red black and white".

[EVO 4G Android Development] nate.spangler:
Absolutely love the rom!

Only one small problem. The fact that everything works and there isn't anything broken in the rom makes it so no one has anything to post about it so this thread constantly is ending up on the second page! Love the 4x5! The wifey has an evo as well and will be making me rip apart the white theme and recoloring all the green to pink when its done.

Thanks for making me do extra work! He he he
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
cool.. maybe u wanna join in then.

as soon as my finals are done im planning to make the themes (white and black) with all different colors as highlights.

first will be red, then blue(hopefully simon will finish his ver.), etc.

if u think u can make all the green go pink... please do... if u wont i will eventually.
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
im happy u like the rom... and im always happy to hear that everything works also.

anyways.. if u read my previous post... red will come.

im not sure if i will do more than change the icons to red and highlights... but i do hope that once i will put my white theme out more themers will switch to using those as a base for thier theme cuz im basically removing all the resources from the htc resources file and putting them inside each widget... that would basically give u the ability to theme each and every app any ways u want without being dependent on the htc resources (which is smart cuz the same file is used all the time, but u cant really do more than unify everything).

with the way im making the white u can end up having for example blue for the email, red for the messages, pink for friends streams, etc... u get what im saying here.
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
guys... quick opinions please.

here is what i did for the dialer... nothing special.. but it is all white now

i also thought about making the list of names and such inverted... but im not sure about it yet.
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
u guys deserve this sooner than everyone else...

here is the white widgets 4x5 layout i made... ALL the htc widgets are in white.

i really think there is nothing that dont look as good as i wanted it to be.

i think u guys gonna like it.

i also changed up a few animations to some of my own creations and overall improved speed a little more by tweaking the packages transitions times etc.

no one really tested this to the fullest... but i believe that much like most of my work i didnt miss anything that is really important.

if u guys didnt notice yet i opened a thread in the themes sections... i will post my screen shots of the widgets there a little later.

i will also add a 4x4 layout later on today and u guys should know that will be updating this mod a little more as time goes by.

have fun.

[EVO 4G Android Development] ejc1214:
Mik,

I guess I am one of the few that likes your ROM the way it is now. I have been running it since the beginning and only issues I had was flashing it with Clockwork. It was not wiping all they way because after I did a RA flash it worked really well.

I am kind of afraid to mess with it now with the new zip! LOl
[EVO 4G Android Development] Shauli20:
Mik, I really want to give the white widgets a spin. But I need a way back. Can you please post a zip with the default widgets?

Sent from my EVO rockin' MikFroYo!
[EVO 4G Android Development] mplaines:
The black widget is there as well
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
i said that i posted all my themes and such in the theme section.... so u can find it there also.
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
dont be scared if u like the white and like the 4x5 layout... it works... and its not a full rom, so u really shouldn't worry.
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
ok guys... updated the third post with different transition animations for u all to choose from... i originally posted them in my themes thread HERE... so i can just click it and d/l from there.

have fun.
[EVO 4G Android Development] killhr:
I'm another fan of your work, and like a few others, after rooting my evo i went through a few roms then narrowed it down between 2 which were Ava-froyos's & Azreal. Then i just said, bump it let me try Mik's and im still here so keep up the good work
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
im happy u like... and im usually good with drawing conclusions, so thank you very much (u know what i mean).
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
ok guys... i'm slowly updating a zip at a time all the different mod's etc.

now... i would like to request from u guys to check out my thread in the themes section cuz it would be much easier to update everything just there instead of at both threads.

basically im saying that ill post mods, etc. over there first and then put it up here also as i keep uploading things.

im doing it this way cuz the mods pretty much fit all roms and there is no really special mod that only works on my rom, u just gotta have the matching theme.
[EVO 4G Android Development] a senile fungus:
I'm not sure if this is an odd request or not....

Can we get 180 degree rotation?

I prefer for my headphone wire to protrude from bottom of my phone when I'm playing music and what not.

This may be a simple edit for all I know but I thought I'd ask :-)

~ I'm a fungi
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
It is a weird one...

I really can't answer that right now though... but ill take a look at it... I'm sure its doable somehow but it will probably mean that u will have it backward all the time.
[EVO 4G Android Development] a senile fungus:
Ok thank you.

I know that in AOSP is possible. When auto-rotate is on I have mine set to rotate in all four directions...

I appreciate you looking into it

~ I'm a fungi

Edit: because I spelled "I" wrong
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
I think I might have miss understood u.

What exactly do u want flipped?

Cuz I'm sure adding rotation to all the htc screens is not gonna be even remotely easy since most of its apps don't even have the setup to it.

I know Rosie has the option which means u can turn it on from inside some definitions... but its buggy unless u use the new hd Roms that r full with bugs anyways.

I would think that there would be such an option somewhere... but I'm also sure that with the current ui we got it would end up either buggy or with some nice fc's.

I would definitely tell u to ask jschisurf about it though... so far it seems he is probably the only one that could really answer if its even possible on a sense rom.
[EVO 4G Android Development] a senile fungus:
What I'm wondering is if we can keep the screen in portrait but simply rotate 180 degrees? I figure this is more of a reasonable request than asking for landscape rosie and whatnot :-)

This way the headphones are out the bottom (I like it better that way for music)

camera stop working after installing mikfroyo

I just installed rom MikeFroyo 3.2. Now when you use the camera it does nothing. All you get is the white picture of the camera and the screen is just blank. I do have a new evo. i got it is Nov. It has the 3.30 with new camera hardware. Anyone having this problem
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
that script with maybe some modifications that kingclick did is running every time u reboot... so u dont have to run it from the app.
[EVO 4G Android Development] FastJoe78:
Nice ROM...but the more HTC widgets section is broken. I can't seem to download any of them...they just disappear????
[EVO 4G Android Development] jordant2:
You are right. It seems that they download but never install.
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
just checked it myself.... u r right...

it d/l it but then disappear... i think it is maybe because i didnt include htccopyright.apk.

ill try to add it to the rom and check it out again.
[EVO 4G Android Development] TweetyBear:
it works for me. i just tried it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jordant2:
And you can now add the widget to your screen?
[EVO 4G Android Development] oigonzalez13:
Downloading now soooo excited to flash this ROM

Sent from god knows where
[EVO 4G Android Development] TweetyBear:
ahh now i see what you meant. can downlaod but it wont install. :mad:
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
ok... so according to the logcat i made it seems that the apk has no signatures that match those in shared user com.htc.rosie.uid.

that is a little strange... cuz i dont think i ever had that problem before...

im digging in google about it right now and will get a fix up when i can.

that basically means that they do get downloaded into cache.. but when trying to install the downloaded widget have different crets than the ones on the rom.

like i said before... ill see if i can figure it out.

the only difference that i can think of between this and a bunch of beta versions i did is jit... i dont think thats why it happens... but maybe.
[EVO 4G Android Development] omedin1:
I downloaded this rom and saved it to the root of my SD card. I then used rom manager to flash rom from card (using newest clockworkmod recovery) and I formatted data and cache and the install seemed to go smoothly. After the phone booted back up I tried to activate my Google account and it seemed to accept it but instead of going to the home screen the phone just went into a boot loop. Thankfully I made a nandroid backup so I was able to recover and try again but I had the same thing happen. Anyone else have this problem?
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
i never tried to flash it using clockwork... but it sounds like something wasn't cleared right.

try to go into recovery and clear system/data and everything else and then flash.
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
ok guys... so here is the deal with the HTC widgets...

it seems that it is an issue due to the system being 2.2.1 and not 2.2... im not 100% sure on that but since i saw that calk's rom users had same issues with it im gonna assume thats whats causing it.

im gonna try to pull off a few more things before ill decide to stop trying and just give u guys the widgets as attached apk's.

this is taking away my lockscreen work for now... but im trying to keep everyone happy, so its not easy.

btw... im surprised... i got over 600 d/l so far... not bad for a rom that is up for only 24 hours.

thanks guys, ill keep u updated.

edit:

ok guys scratch that... its the signatures.... im not sure if i need to resign only rosie to get it working... but ill fix it up eventually... its doable and it seems that a lot of dev have suffered the same problem in the past (not that i can find a nice how-to fix it... but ill make it).

edit 2:

htc widgets issue fixed... but there was some files i needed to delete from the system to get it working... so ill have to make it flashable cuz simply pushing it probably wont due... ill post it up in a few.

ok... i take it back... this would require signing more apps from what it looks like now... but ill make a flashable with all those apps... sorry for the hassle.. but u probably wont need to wipe anything.

edit 3:

ok... im reflashing the rom so i can get to point zero and trying to flash the new zip im gonna upload with the new rosie so that u guys can d/l more htcwidgets from htc...

the problem was that rosie and all the widgets had different signatures from the ones u guys downloaded... so i had to make sure its back to the same one for all of them.

it works... but i wanna try it from a point zero to make sure there are no issues.
[EVO 4G Android Development] coreylenn:
hey any way i can change the theme on this rom?
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
mmm... u can try but i can't promise its gonna work.
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
ok... so here is the deal... i cant get this to work properly without having u guys going through a little more than just flashing a zip...

the good news are that it is fixed... the bad one... which is not all that bad, is that u would need to suffer thorough a little bit of fc's on start up but simply rebooting again will solve all of those issues.

since this is dealing with permission inside packages the way i fixed it is kinda funky so i would recommend to flash it only if u really can't wait until the next rom release and just have to have some of those htc widgets right now.

but at the same time... u shouldn't be scared of flashing it, it does work.

anyways... here is the link:

[EVO 4G Android Development] benshtc:
Does anyone know if the menu animations zips in the 3rd post will work on Fresh by any chance?
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
I think i said it before... they should work, but i wont recommand flashing them cuz it has my themed framewrok-res files... that will probably have a bad effect on the way your phone looks cuz fresh is using a black taskbar and i use a white one.

U should search the theme section... i posted anim folders over there and there are instructions for applying them.
[EVO 4G Android Development] FastJoe78:
Dude, that was fast on the HTC widgets thing! Kudos for you! I feel ba though cause I didn't want to pull you away from anything, sorry for that. But this ROM is so EF'in' SWEET!
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
sure man... no prob...

i guess u guys will see an update soon...

new ruu is out... im uploading rooted stock odex and deodexed for all the peps out there and then ill have a closer look at what really in it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jordant2:
I think I'll wait for the next release until the fix is cooked into the new ROM. Well... DO you get the fc's only the first time you restart or will it do it every time you restart?
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
Did u do a full wipe before flashing?

If no...

Please try that first.

If yes...

Did u try a different rom that it worked on ?

If yes...

which one was it?

Personally I have a 002 and a 003 evo and I would assume u got a 004.

So... as u probably figured yourself... that might be why...

but I would still like to know the answer to those questions I asked u so I can try to fix u a zip that would help.
