[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] potna:
So you rooted the phone, did you also flash a Rom?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evohack99:
Lol I figured it out , if the battery is to low it won't nand recovery, but I got it, and yes, its running burt droid, and kings kernel.

Sent from my netarchy_toast, froyo beast of a machine evo!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] potna:
Referring to the outer lens cover on the evo, I haven't heard if anyone doing what we did with the tilt 2, we simply remove the scratched cover and don't replace it with anything.

On the tilt 2 the lens cover was built into to battery door and you simply removed the door then popped the little plastic cover out and your pix were as good as new.

The scratched cover made a big difference on the tilt 2, to someone who is picky, and this completely solved the issue.

So what exactly does this cover do on the evo and is it as important as we think it is?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tonyz2897:
It's part of the evo's back case half, instead of the battery door. I guess you could remove it, but I'd be worried about dirt getting inside the phone. Personally I'd try to replace it with something instead of leaving it off completely. One of the Chinese bargain sites (either dealextreme or kaidomain, can't remember which) sells glass lenses in various sizes for flashlights. If you could get lucky enough for them to have one the same diameter, you could remove the old scratched/broken lens and replace it with one of those.

On the other hand, if it's just scratched, you could get some cerium oxide (optical grade glass polish) and polish the scratches out.
[Vibrant General] DarkAgent:
So word around the street is the new T-MobileTV is just a skinned version of MobiTV (with potentially free programming). People are saying this is being pushed to people's phones OTA. Anyone know what happens if MobiTV app has already been removed? Will the phone brick (I don't see why it should)? Will we still get T-MobileTV? MobiTV is one of the first things I got rid of on my phone.
[Vibrant General] dmolition:
Yes it has been confirmed that phones get hardware bricked; can't access download mode nor recovery mode. Your best option is to get an iPhone.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] monomo:
I figured this out before finishing posting. My phone an htc touch pro 2 unlocked to boost cdma unlimited with energy rom windows 6.6, I ran the wifi router app and it would say...connected, but, my pc would be able to get to the internet [it shows connected to...] Next, I tried to enabled the windows zero configuration by right clicking on the wireless strength bar and then I was able to click on the little pc screen that blinks when it is connecting to the network and it opened the screen with all of the wireless networks available, last I double clicked on the htcpro2 essid and it asked for the pass, but before it worked windows poped up with a window that said "your computer does not allow connection to ad-hoc networks...blah" and it explained how to do this [enable connecting to ad-hoc networks] after this was done, I connected to the network and it worked. If my instructions aren't clear then mess around with the settings until it worked. You can also ipconfig in Run>cmd>ipconfig to see if your pc acquired an ip.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] Wolfhawke:
htc pro Wifi router

Hmmm...sounds like an overprotective setting on the PC. I don't seem to remember the XDA Wifi version saying anything about being Ad-hoc. Could be wrong though...
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] misanthropic777:
When I hit the menu button, the menus come up but without any labels. If the only thing there is text, then the nothing shows up in the menu.

Labels are visible everywhere else; home screen, app drawer, etc. It is ONLY when I hit the menu button that I lose them. When I tap the actual menu item that I want, the text appears, but that's a little late to help.

Any idea how to get the menu labels back or what might have turned them off in the first place?

In case anyone is interested, the problem turned out to be a theme applied through metamorph. I replaced it with a different one and the labels are back.
[Streak 5 Android Development] dkwelton:
ok so i was trying to downgrade my dell streak to 2.1 so i could go to 1.6 and after i flashed it i got the dell logo and a blank black screen. i cant get into my custom recovery and everytime i press upgrade from .pkg it goes to the black screen. i believe it might be bricked because nothing is working. any help would be greatly appreciated thanks!:o
[Streak 5 Android Development] cue_32:
sounds like you have flashed a custom recovery... try going back to that site and download the alternate recovery. Try flashing one of these custom recoveries, if one gets you the black screen then the other one should get you through.

no. it doesnt have anything to do with the custom recovery when i turn the phone on it shows the dell logo and goes to a black screen. i have the alt version of the custom recovery from that thread but not even that will show up. all of this happened when following the upgrade downgrade guide by homeiss please help
[Streak 5 Android Development] Meltus:

flash the stock recovery

flash the official update.pkg

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johnw230873:
I was wondering what people are using on their Nexus for a email client for Exchange.

I have tried Touchdown and it just seems to slow

Roadsync doesn't support html on exchange 2003

Moxier mail seems a good package and on the face it seems to support html on exchange 2003 but it doesn't have a trail and isn't cheap.

Any suggestions (must support html on exchange 2003)

[EVO 4G Android Development] tonwarr.the.incredible:
Has anything changed from the last beta you sent me? Everything is running very smooth still and flashed beta v3 on my GF's phone this morning also without a single problem. Great to see the thread updated, very nice!
[EVO 4G Android Development] jordant2:
I like it. Is there any way to disable the animation when sliding the lockscreen? It flashes then shows a weather animation. That makes it look choppy weather animations.
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
mmm... i can switch tha animation with another one in the future... u can disable all the animations from the settings though if u'd like or use spareparts to speed/slow them up/down.

im dont usually use the htc clock... so i never paid attention to it... but i looked now and it doesn't seem so bad...

keep in mind that if u got information syncing right now some things might slow down until its done syncing.
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
yea... i skinned googlemaps... street... and changed up some tiny things that i saw had issues in the beta 3...

if u not using all of the htc sense apps though... just replace the com.htc.resources.apk, services.jar, and framework-res.apk inside /system/framework/

if u r using sense apps...

u would want to also replace htctwitter.apk and ofcourse some of the apps...

but if u dont feel like it... just save what u want from the old rom and flash... but u will need to wipe cuz i changed/moved some apps.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jordant2:
Thank you for that info! I think the animations were just too fast. I used spare parts to make them slower and it looks like the normal htc fade animation when unlocking. Now to really dig in and test. Looks great though.
[EVO 4G Android Development] cardiox:
Flashed it and looks and feels real smooth. Menu transitions are real nice also...:)
[EVO 4G Android Development] tonwarr.the.incredible:
Sense has too many homescreens so I use launcherPro with quickdesk for my widgets. It's really a shame because I like what you did with the theming of the launcher but I still get the transitions, the stripped down black and white, and the other goodies you packed in here!:D
[EVO 4G Android Development] nuvens:
Im downloading from megaupload right now file says mikfroyo 2.0 beta 3 not mikfroyo 3.0 am i getting the wrong file?

Edit.

I just answered my question so am downloading from your hotfile link now instead.
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
yea.... i always get confused between window and transition animations and which one does what...

i think i speed up the wrong one by mistake by default... ill make sure to switch it next time.

it should have been slower on the dialogs/menus/transitions and faster for the flip animations...

nevermind though... its a quick fix i can make or u guys can fix yourselves using spareparts.
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
yes... u r getting the wrong file...

it should say MikFroyo-v3.0-signed.zip
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:

Downloading now. Went from Fresh, to MIUI, to CM, back to Fresh, now gonna give this a shot. I just can't make up my mind, lol
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
since this is your first post.... i assume u dont have a clue about anything yet...

i would tell u to first root your phone. (search and you shall find)

then u might want to nand backup before flashing my rom incase u want to restore. (again... search....)

and then just d/l my rom and flash.

i really can't go into explaining step-by-step cuz although its is simple there are like 20 different guides that tells u how to do it.

sorry... i dont mean to sound lazy... but its just that my hw is catching up to me and i have an exam coming up on Wednesday.
[EVO 4G Android Development] TweetyBear:
link is in first post. you flash it in recovery like any other rom. and what do you mean "go back"?
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
a few quick questions for u guys...

1. personally i can't stand the new youtube app is nayone else like me and would like the old one back?

2. do u guys want changes to rosie? like 5 rows or remapping and such?

3. anything else u can think of... go for it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] TweetyBear:
1) it errors out more than play my videos. old one much better

2) 5 rows will be nice
[EVO 4G Android Development] shawnten:
5 rows would be sweet
[EVO 4G Android Development] Shauli20:
Hey aamikam, I just flashed your ROM and I must say - I absolutely love it! The theme is beautiful, and the animations are so cool! So first of all I want to say thanks.

I personally enjoy the new YouTube app very much. But 5 apps in a row in the app drawer would be great.

Also, maybe add some life to the boot screen. Like an Android eating an apple... :-)

Question: for some reason when the ROM first loaded the weather widget didn't find my location. I had to add it manually. Any reason for that?

Thanks again for a spectacular ROM!
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
great im glad u like...

im not sure why it didnt find your location... i never had that issue,,, but since its working now i think i wont worry about it.

btw... im making the 5 row rosie right now...

first time im taking a look at it... its amazing how simple it is to do it and remap to any app... a tiny change in the xml's to make it 5 in row and a tiny function in the smali to remap it to whatever u want.

no one asked for a remapping though.. so i can skip that for now... i know that for myself ill probably remap it to handsetsms or something.... but not sure yet... now that i know how to do it im kinda lost with what to pick.

expect a flashable in the third post for the 5 row rosie in about an hour.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Shauli20:
Sounds good!

Another question: The Pandora that you included, is the hacked version that allows unlimited skipping?
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
dont think so... check your pm.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Shauli20:
Ok, I just tested 4G on the Hotspot and unfortunately, no, it doesn't work.

Can you change the look of the 4G icon? The way it is currently, it's very hard to tell how many bars are lit up. Maybe make the green a little darker, or something like that.
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
gotya... i dont really have 4g here... and i only used it once when i was at an airport in ATL... so i never noticed... its the original Detox theme icons... thats why i figured it will be fine for everyone.

can u show a picture real quick of it so that i can be sure of what icons to change?
[EVO 4G Android Development] D.J.CaSpER:
Hey mik I posted some screenshots for u on ppcg. But hey the 5 row menu will it be a zip. File or apk. File or will it be a new rom?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Shauli20:
I would post a screen shot if ShootMe was working, but it's giving an error saying check that it has root privileges. Weird???

Any other way I can take a screen shot?

Another strange thing. I just reflashed your ROM because I got Pandora messed up. Anyway, I realized what happened with the weather widget. Basically the clock app appeared twice, on top of itself. The top layer had time but no location. The bottom layer had location but no time. When I dragged the top layer off the screen I was left with only location, but I can't get it off the screen. So it seems the phone split the weather widget in to 2 parts somehow. Any idea what's going on?
[EVO 4G Android Development] D.J.CaSpER:
I use shotme to post screenshot but I downloaded the photobucket app I upload the screenshot from shotme then post them through photobucket then I remove photobucket.
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
did u restore any backed up data that u getting that error?

if u did try to run the fix_permission script thats included in rom manager or if u know how to run it from adb use adb... if it says that u have no root privileges that kinda means that SU messed up on u.
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
didn't see the screen shots yet.. thanks.. ill take a loot in a few.

and yes... just a flashable zip.
[EVO 4G Android Development] D.J.CaSpER:

Ok sounds good do u know when ur gonna have it set up for download?
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
Ok sounds good do u know when ur gonna have it set up for download?

i got it working... but it looks like calk 5 in a row... im trying to make the icons a little smaller cuz they reallt fill up the screen too much if u ask me... thats whats taking my time now.

well... and im playing with rosie a little more to see if i can tweak it a little more.

it wont be long though...

edit:

i thought ill just finish it and upload... but i ended up playing with text sizes and such... which ended as a very long process of failing a lot and succeeding some.
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
OK... here is the 5 in a row Rosie.

also, some of u guys probably are like me... the older YouTube app flashable zip is also attached.

sorry that it took me some time.. i tried to play with stuff and had to skin the youtube app again cuz i lost my old images for it.

here is a quick screen shot of the 5 rows:

i added a fix_permission run to the zips... just to make sure there will be no issues. (Rosie can be really annoying sometimes)
[EVO 4G Android Development] pgreeny69:
Few things I have noticed since flashing the 3.0 version on monday, 3.1 on saturday.

Quick, smooth, everything working great for me.

Battery life very good, going 10-13 hours with normal use-text- a few phone calls-facebook-twitter-internet-angry birds :)-and so on- with 50- 60% left after that time.

The only frustrating issue to me is that first 10% battery loss when I come off charge. I have tried everything and it still happens on every rom I load unless I bump charge. Anyone else having this issue or have a solution, or is it just normal to HTC devices?

Great rom!!!!
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
actually ever since king bfs 11 thats in version 3.1 i actually have 100% hold up after i unplug.

but i know what u mean... it does drop the first 10 percent pretty fast... but there is a reason for that... the phone is "pretending" to be full once it hits a certain amount... while in reality u not actually at 100%.... i cont go into too much details about it... but if u search in the forums u will find a long or short explanation on what exactly happens.

another reason could be that you using setCPU like me and have it maxed at any value above 90% batt... obviously the higher the clock speed is the more battery gets waisted.

anyways... there is no real way to "fix" that and thanks for the good comments.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Shauli20:
Ok, the solution for ShootMe was actually just to uninstall / reinstall.

I'll attach a pic of the 4G icon later.

So we can just flash the zip for the modified Rosie without wiping anything?
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
i usually make sure that all the actions that needs to be done will be inside the update script...

so no... just flash and u should be fine.
[EVO 4G Android Development] pgreeny69:
Thanks. I am using set cpu with your preloaded profiles. I have tried the fixes- wiping battery stats and draining all the way with no success. maybe not doing it correctly. I can live with the bump charging on my daily routine, just annoying when I travel.

Again Thanks for all the great work!!!
[EVO 4G Android Development] pgreeny69:
How do you wipe the battery stats, or how do you increase your battery life?

Answer: As you may or may not be aware, you cannot trickle charge the battery on these phones as they will blow up! To counter this, the last 10% of your battery is going to be a bit flakey. What the phone does is once the battery reaches 100%, the phone software will let the battery drop down to 90% before it allows more charging to take place. That is why you often can use your phone after a full day's charge and immediately be at around 90% for no apparent reason. When you reset battery stats, you are effectively resetting the phone's software. it will take a couple of days for it to relearn your battery and give you a more accurate result and more efficient recharge.

Battery recalibration (Thanks to Cyanogen for this and to fachadick for bringing it to my attention).

If you're experiencing higher than normal battery drain, try the following:

1. Charge the phone to full battery; let it keep charging until the battery says it is fully charged. Do not just wait until the light is green, it isn't always fully charged, causing a lot of inaccuracies. (You can check by going to: Settings -> About Phone -> Status -> Battery Level = Full.)

2. Boot to recovery and wipe battery stats.

(To have the most accurate of battery stats, reboot the phone immediately after wiping the battery stats and wait for your ROM to boot completely to the desktop. Once your entire boot is done and you have full access to the phone, go ahead and pull the charger and continue.)

3. Do not charge the phone until after draining the battery completely, resulting in it automatically shutting off. Take out the battery, and keep trying to turn on your phone until it will not turn back on at all.

4. Recharge the phone completely and then use as you normally would.

This is a method that has been proven to work, I am sure there are other ways. My battery lasts longer after doing this and the reading is much more accurate. It might be advisable to do this after every ROM install if you want the most battery life and most accurate battery reading by the phone's software.

Is this the correct way to wipe battery?
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
u pretty much found what u needed...

actually when u flash the rom i make sure it wipes your batt stats... so u should be fine... if u wanna do it yourself though... just go into recovery... im not sure which recovery u using... but it is in one of the menus there... i dont remember which one for both RA and Clockwork.
