cant say that i heard of that happening before...

so im not sure what to say... as for the *2 u need to push the "SprintZone.apk" that inside the removed apps on the sdcard... its a known issue with that if u remove that app it will kill *2... but the reason for removing it has to do with the fact that its an annoying app.
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
allow me to suggest that u move to RA instead of clockwork... clockwork is known for having issues with clearing dalvik... im not sure why... but thats what iv'e seen people say over and over again...

and about the provision thing... i would also suggest to everyone to update profile after flashing a rom... it shouldn't have issues if u dont do so... but it can never heart.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ejc1214:
If I flash RA does it overrides clockwork so I end up with just one recovery? Also, I assume I can just flash it like a zip file right? I got a copy of v1.8 on my laptop so I can do it tonight. It is weird that I did not have an issue before..
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
u right it is weird...

but i really dont know what else to say besides that.

and yes it will take away your clockwork... u can really run both at the same time... but u can go back to clockwork after flashing the rom if u'd like.

btw... u dont have to d/l it from anywhere... if u look in rom manager u have to option to flash it instead of clockwork.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ejc1214:
I tried flashing the RA thru ROM Manager and it gave me an error occurred while trying to flash recovery message. I tried twice and does not let me flash it.

Do I flash the RA like a zip file thru clockwork?

Got ROM Manager to finally flash RA 1.8! Yeah.. going to wipe and start all over and see if I can make this ROM work.
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
no... i dont think there is a version made into a flashable of it.

from what it sound like to me though is that u didnt apply the fix or didnt flahs the new version i've put up that same day.

try this for me real quick... d/l busybox app from the market and install busy box... then try to flash the RA through rom manager..

another reason for this could be that superuser is messed up somehow also... so try to maybe reinstall that from the market also.

thats all i can think of... i do hope that u didnt lose root somehow.. but even if u did.. u should be able to get again easily... and if u really not sure what to do... simply go back to an old nand backup of yours and then use rom manager to flash RA and flash the rom again... i dont think i have any more ideas besides that.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ejc1214:
I got the RA installed thru Rom Manager and just re-flashed the NEW v3.2 you put up without the superpower app you just posted so I should have really clean ROM and wiped EVO! I think something went wrong with the first flash and just kept compounding the issue every time I did another dirty flash! I will update and let you know.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Shauli20:
Mik, can you specify which file is the one I need to remove in order to re-enable ads? I looked in /System/etc but there's a whole lot in there. I really do don't know my way around the Android OS too well... thanks.

Sent from my EVO rockin' MikFroYo!
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
u dont remove it... u simply erase its content...

im attaching a file so u can use it...

just use adb to push

first rename it to hosts instead of hosts.txt

then:

adb remount

adb push hosts /system/etc/
[EVO 4G Android Development] ejc1214:
Mik,

at the risk of jinxing it, I must say that I think I got it licked! I don;t think I ever installed the ROM right because this thing is flying and it is not even OC since I was at 48% battery and running at 998 stock and got a 1367 Quadrant score but more importantly the phone really feels smooth and fast.

I noticed that when I open an email now it pops right up! did not do that before but like it.

Anyway, we will see what happens tomorrow after a full day and see if I am going to have any issues.

Thanks again for all the work you do for us.
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
dude... let me tell u a sort of a known secret...

and i say "known" because i always said that full wipe is better.

usually before i give u guys an update i obviously push all the files that had changes to my phone and check to see if everything works right before giving something to flash.

second thing i do is to flash the rom im uploading without wiping to see if everything still runs ok.

now... here is what i do as third...

i always wipe everything and then flash again... and then i really get the full effect of my tiny added tweaks... (i usually change default values in some xmls to lower values to make everything faster).

only once i really did a clean install i can see the difference between current version and the older one, and that diff is very very noticeable compared to not wiping.

i think thats why u seeing and feeling it now also.

i guess there is just something going on with having everything completely new.

[EVO 4G Android Development] ejc1214:
Mik,

So far so good on this last reload. Maybe clockwork was not wiping dalvik cache all the way and RA does a better job. I di notice that I had more internal app memory after this install, about 356mbs vs 270 or so compared to previous v3.2 install. Must have been a better wipe?
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
guys... i just wanna make sure something is clear... just in case u didnt know.

there is a way to customize the power widgets bar...

Awe man,

Ii had Apps2SD working on 3.1 but now after running dark tremor its telling me the SD card is mounting as read only...why did you block Apps2SD?????

I'm attempting to reinstall the ROM...

1st edit: Okay its not me its the ROM...After a total wipe and fresh install it keeps giving me a notification telling me the SD card is mounted as read only and nothing related to the SD card seems to work. The SD card mounts just fine in recovery...idk what is up?!?
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
not sure...

it happened to me once a long time ago... what i did was to mount the sd card to the computer while in recovery and then using windows to run an error check on the sd card and that fixed it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] simongabriel:
I know sometimes with USB drives if you don't disconnect them properly from a windows computer, windows computers will still read them but linux computers will treat them as read only. Perhaps that's what happened with the SD card? It sounds likely since as mik said by doing an error check he fixed his issue (which is the same thing you do with a usb drive in the above mentioned scenario).

I'm guessing you might've had a bad disconnect via your last connection (guessing you use a windows comp) and it just didn't treat the sd card properly. doing a check/fix on the sd card in windows should fix it up just fine.
[EVO 4G Android Development] nate.spangler:
Id love to flash this rom but im waiting on a solution about the alarm issue. Anyone?
[EVO 4G Android Development] adamfair:
Beacause this rom uses vanilla lockscreen you have to use the vanilla clock to set alarms
[EVO 4G Android Development] jordant2:
You can either use vanilla clock, or flash the htclockscreen.apk That's what I did. Like having the music controls.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mkeena0305:
Loving the theme. Good job
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
here is your answer...

sorry... i thought everyone knows about that issue already.

ill theme up a nice cool htc look screen.

i'm thinking white with black text... or i can just do a black one which will save me some time looking for the colors...
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
thats a hard question...

the theming is much in the system that u might as well flash the rom.

i can try and pull out for u though... but i think i decompiled and recompiled about 95% of the apks... so if u want it all it might be tricky and not work on another rom.

this rom is based on calk's 1.4 though... so im pretty sure it would work on his... im also pretty sure it wont work on myn's rom cuz he uses something else for his /system/framework/ folder... trust me i know... i download every rom out there to learn all the tiny tricks from every dev.

this rom is a nice compilation of everything that i liked from pretty much all the roms out there. and because i wanted FRG83 i had to use clak's as my base... not that its a bad thing... i think its really good actually.

anyways... im not sure what rom u using... but i can make u a zip that will include most of the packages... cuz im sure youll have issues if i include all of them and u wont wipe.
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
thank u all for liking it...

here is the plan for later today:

* finish my ECE437 lab report

* post flashable zip's with different animation styles

* work on an htclockscreen skin to add to the rom for whoever wants it

* make a standalone theme flashable zip
​

please guys... feel free to make suggestions... i think i can pretty much change every and anything in the rom.

if u saw something cool and u would like to see it in the rom... show me and ill see what i can do.

please pm me with suggestions.

thanks.

Hows the battery life with this rom?
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
i flashed the rom last night around the same time i posted it to make sure that ill be on the same page as everyone else thats using my rom...

so far i have it 13 hours and 43 minutes and got 45% left...

im also using SetCPU with the profiles that i've put in the rom already.

i had about an hour of wifi, 20 texts, about 10-20 min phone calls, watched some youtube and i have a livewallpaper running.

its pretty good.

i cant say its the best i ever had... that is reserved for my old android 2.1 rom i had up a long time ago... i got over 2 days on it.

hopefully that gives u some indication, but keep in mind that im not a heavy user at all.

here is where u can find SetCPU straight from the dev himslef:

[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
added alternative animations to the third post...

i've got a question for u all...

i saw there is a new kernel out... from Ziggy.

anyone tried it out yet?

here is a link:

ziggy471-htc-evo-kernel-23-oct

not sure how much better this one would be... but maybe some of u guys would like to give it a try.
[EVO 4G Android Development] pgreeny69:
Thanks!!! That sounds pretty good. Gonna give it a try.
[EVO 4G Android Development] hecklbrg:
Nevermind!
[EVO 4G Android Development] Abracastabya:
Wondering the same thing. Using Caulks 1.3.1.
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
the flashable animations should work on any sense rom... the only thing is that they are also using my framework-res file... so youll get like half of my theme on your phone if u flash them... which is not a good idea considering im probably the only sense rom that has a white taskbar instead of black.

just hold on a little longer... ill open a thread in the themes section for my complete theme stand alone version... hopefully it will work good on most roms... if not... im sorry but i cant possibly test all roms out there and since i made it for my personal rom it would require quite a bit of work to make it compatible to all roms if it wont work the first time.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Abracastabya:
Changed my mind I'll just try the entire Rom!
[EVO 4G Android Development] pgreeny69:
Just loaded and set up rom. really like it. Great work!!! I did flash the black themed clock from virus rom, it looks great with the black and white theme. Will you be making a zip for the htc lock so the stock alarm works properly? Thanks again

Not able to see my downloaded apps for updates on the market in the download tab... Used my backup pro to restore apps .... But I'm able to search my apps to see if there is an update... Anyone with this same issue? Thinking I should reflash rom
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
glad to hear that...

hope you'll like it.

i think the only thing i didnt skin was the htcclockwidget... i just didnt feel like there was a point to do it especially since im using fancywidget instead.

as for the htclockscreen... ill work on it a little later tonight... i've put up a list of things i plan to get done today a few posts back... and im still stuck on my labreport, but ill get done with that in an hour max and then ill see about trying to do something with the lock screen...i think i might stick to black or clear(like calk's)... but ill try a white one first to see if i can get it to look good.
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
mmm.... a tiny piece of advice... and thats for everyone not just u.

for any tiny issue that u might have, always reboot before being sure that its really an issue...

i have a fix_permissions script running on boot for those reasons alone.

if it wont fix itself after a reboot... than i will have to ask if u wiped or not.
[EVO 4G Android Development] FLmassive:
Yes I rebooted ... And yes I did a full wipe .. Just ran fix permissions on the rom manager app. And rebooted now market is working fine thank you... Nice rom

I really Enjoy MikFroyo, i can tell that you put a lot of hard work into this rom, and I wanted to express my Enthusiasm/Enjoyment of this Rom.

I am Currently running mikfroyo v3.1 and i was wondering what would be the best method to update to 3.2.

Should i just download the 3.2 zip and apply as an update in Recovery?

Or should i use Rom Manager and go the "Install the Rom from SD" method

Since i'm running 3.1 do i have to do a wipe, or no, or do you reccommend a wipe anyway?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Shauli20:
If you read the last few pages you would see Mik has recommended wiping first.

You can wipe and then flash 3.2 all in one shot via Recovery mode.

My EVO is almost perfect. Got a beautiful UI, smooth performance and amazing battery life. Just got Hulu working yesterday with the hex edit, and downloaded the UC Browser which looks pretty cool.

What do you recommend for reinstalling your downloaded apps after a wipe.

Also is there a way to backup your text messages and recover them after the wipe?

Contacts are not an issue, they are stored in the Google cloud.

How do I get that lockscreen? I like it because it shows the battery level.

I'm going to try to attach what my lockscreen looks like
[EVO 4G Android Development] ejc1214:
Mik,

Looks like switching to RA did the trick. I don't think clockwork was wiping dalvik all the way or maybe was not wiping something right. Anyway, with same usage I am at 43% battery after 12 hours since unplugging the phone with two hours total awake time. I have not found anything that I use so far that does not work. Great work!!!!!!!!!!

imnot srue which lockscreen u want... they r both on the screenshots.

but if u want the one that comes with the rom just keep it the same... if not u need to search for the remove htc lockscreen zip... there are more than one zip around that will do that for u.
[EVO 4G Android Development] silentstryder:
I was referring to the lockscreen that has a lock icon you have slide to the right. I think they call it ASOP.

I searched around and found Calkuin's remove HTC lockscreen mod. It removes the lockscreen and uses the ASOP one.

Thanks for the info.

I love the Rom.

[EVO 4G Android Development] Davidp65:
Hi,

I've been using your rom since Sunday.

I found the following intermittent issues:

1. Bluetooth doesn't seem to consistently work. Sometimes I have to go to settings and turn off bluetooth and turn it back on to get it to connect to my speaker phone. Sometimes it works fine, othertimes I have to uncheck it and recheck it. All bluetooth devices are saved ok.

2. Battery life is not consistent. The usual drop form 100 percent to 90 is quick. However, from there it may drop real fast to 70 percent and down, othertimes it may last longer. I didn't see any of these things on Myns rom.

There is one other thing that might not be related to anything you did. When I add a contact phone number, I cannot add it directly to the main screen by selecting the type of phone I want (I.E. Mobile, Home, Work). If I add a work number for example, at least one or more of the other choices retain the same number. The only way I can seem to change the number of type is to add additional. If that is the case, why have that option at all. Again, I'm not sure if that has anything to with what you did. Maybe you have a suggestion as how to fix this.

I also had a strange thing happen when I went into Titanium backup. It said that I didn't have a rooted rom. It didn't complain before when I opened it. After I reloaded busybox (the same version already on the phone), it seemed to correct it. Any idea why that happened? I haven't seen that before.

Regards and thanks
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
1. Bluetooth issues is something that i really have no clue about cuz i really never use it. but it seems like its working eventually... and im not sure if u using the power widget for the Bluetooth or not.

2. Battery is something that i really cant answer cuz really... every phone is different and every settings u have is different, and reception... etc... not to mention that some kernels that work better on my phone can really kill batt on yours... its something u gotta figure out for yourself as far as which kernel works better for u... i cant make everyone have the exact same experienced from the same kernel im using... i know some dev's guaranty a certain amount of batt life... but thats unrealistic to do cuz for all they know u might be roaming all day which will kill your batt (just a quick example).

btw... if u want the kernel thats on myn rom just ask... ill make u a zip.

3. I would have to assume that since u flashed on sunday, the day the rom was released... u didnt get a chance to get the fix i've put up... that would explain the issues u had.. originally i had a messed up version of busybox on the rom but i had a fix put up and updated the rom links with that fix included... i will have to assume u missed it and that u d/l the rom before 10pm on the 14th...

answer #3 might actually explain other weird things that u might have noticed while using the rom... (hot-restart wasn't working, etc.)

i hope that helps.

edit:

the fix is in post 482 on page 49.

and it seems that out of the 300-400 people who d/l the rom before 10pm on the 14th only 27 people actually d/l the fix... so if anyone else is having issue... please use the fix or reflash the revised version that was reuploaded that same day.

edit2:

forgot to comment on the contacts thing.... im realy not 100% sure what u mean... but my first question would be whether it was different on any other rom, or the same in all the roms u tried?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Davidp65:
Can I just flash the zip fix right over my existing rom, or do I have to wipe first?

I am assuming I can just flash over since you are replacing existing files already on the rom.

Regards
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
if u talking about the fix... yes... just flash over.

for the full one... it kinda depends on what u have in your data folder... but should be fine.
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
ok guys... ill be working on a new version this weekend... sorry for updating too much... but i'd bet u like updates... we all do. thats why we browse to this website.

anyways...

i just got done with the 4x5 rosie layout (which means one more row of shortcuts per screen) that will include the animated htc clock in it... i just wanna finish up all the other htc widgets and make sure they work flawlessly with that layout.

and also... before i put out an update please feel free to make requests and things u want to see on the next version.
