Problems with update

Hi,

I just loaded your update 3.25. At first, like mplaines, my phone hung at the EVO white screen.

I pulled the battery. It did boot, but I got a crash on the htc lock screen. When I got in to the home screen, I got my home icons, but the htc clock was missing. When I added the htc clock widget, it couldn't find my location.

Then when I tried to scroll left to get the comm screen items, the aren't there at all.

So, I'm not sure what went wrong here, but I guess I will have to restore my backup. I don't know where to go from here.

Can you help and shed some light on why this happened?

Regards
[EVO 4G Android Development] Davidp65:
More questions regarding 3.25

Hi Again,

Ok, I wiped cache/dalvik, and I reloaded the update. This time it booted ok.

However, I have some more questions. These might be obvious to others, but I'm just not seeing it.

1. I don't get the new theme like the one in your screen shots?

2. When I scroll left from home, I don't get the additional options like hotspot, etc., I only get the orginal 4.

Am I missing something here?

Regards
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
first of all im happy u got it working.

second... there were a lot of more people that d/l the update... but it seems that only u two guys ha issues for some reason, if i had to gues why u both had issues it would be cuz there was another theme or something not 3.2 stock or that came from my zips that had to do with it... but nevermind that now.

anyways... u should get the white widgets with the way the phone is stock... it wont look like the pics cuz the pics show the theme not the actual layout that u get right after u flash.

i hope u understand what im saying here... which is that u basically can make it look like the pics... but it wont be like that at first flash, set it up the way u like it.

i know how to pre-set it to have things on different screens and such... but i dont like to do things like that cuz i dont think everyone use the same layout... so its kinda like, why bother cuz u gonna change it anyways.

i hope that clarifies things a little.

Normally I only like sense roms for their facebook sync abilities but this looks so gorgeous that I might just leave launcher pro alone for a while. Thanks for this!!
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
glad u like.

there will be more to come... after finals show up.

i owe u guys a remapped rosie and versions of rosie that will also support myn app.

i actually optimized rosie a lot more this time around... so although i dont think it work any faster... im pretty sure its smoother on this version of the rom.
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
ok guys...

i promised animations that i made... and they will start popping up in the next hour.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Davidp65:
3.25 update

Thanks for the response.

What about the additional switches you added when you scroll to the left of the home screen? I like having the hotspot switch.

I don't have all of those. When I loaded the update, I should have got those, right? If not, how can I add them?

Regards
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
they r all in the settings widgets... just look... they r all there.
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
k, as promised... i think u guys would like the iphone ones... the other twist ones i made are slightly diff than the ones that r on v3.25 right now.

btw... feel free to slow/speed up things using spare parts.

please keep in mind that there will be a lot more animations coming... cuz i have been playing with this for a while now... and i got it about 99% down as to how to make my own from scratch.

please feel free to get creative your self and tell me what kinda of anim u would wanna see on your phone.

all anim are fairly simple to make, even if u want things flying all over the screen, its the timing that is sometimes hard cuz of the way it is set up to work.

anyways... have fun.

p.s.

these will work on all of my rom and theme versions... so even if u r still on version 3.2 it should work.
[EVO 4G Android Development] drslevy:
Quick question. On 2.5 I flashed the 4x5 rose with right button set to handcent. I loved that but the 4x 5 layout was not 100%. Now it is but with no way to change the right button to the app I want. Will the same zip file work without messing up 4x5.
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
actually... it should still work... the only things with that version of rosie is that its not as opt as the one now... but i dont think u will feel the diff.

try it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
here is UpDown animation i made real quick.

Also

:

Iphone animations version 2.

ZoomIn animations (I like this one)
[EVO 4G Android Development] drslevy:
Lol. I did just before your reply. It works. It's just that I had a bit of difficulty last night doing the update because I had everything exactly the way I liked it and almost had to restore back to about a week ago. Believe me. A lot can be changed in one week, so after last night, I didn't want to sown another hour fixing it bit it did work. Great stuff so far. My battery is on its last leg and I still get a pretty good run with your Rom. Keep up the great work.
[EVO 4G Android Development] tonwarr.the.incredible:
How about making a transition that looks like a piece of paper being crumpled up then opened back up into the new page? Lol... do you think that's doable??

On another note, this ROM has really progressed! And here I was thinking life would stand still in my absence...lol! Fantastic work; everything running silky smooth!
[EVO 4G Android Development] drslevy:
I love the idea.
[EVO 4G Android Development] tonwarr.the.incredible:
Not saying it's not possible, because anything is possible, but this one might be tough...lol
[EVO 4G Android Development] killhr:
Hey great job on the rom and hell all of your work im a big fan so now you say its easy to make animations so if you dont mind pointing me in the direction on how to do it ..Thanks
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
doable... i think so.

can i do it... im not sure.

it would require me to basically separate the image thats being animated to many different sections, im not really sure how to do that on the best side.

that would really require a long piece of code.

but i like the idea.

i know how to make just one part shrink/move/etc. and the rest would get left alone... but to make it as if its a piece of paper... damn... that would be splitting it to way too many parts... not to mention the timing... it will be in the 5-10 ms for each part... way too long man.

u gotta also keep in mind that im not really a graphic desinger that knows all the tricks to make something look as if its something... if u know what i mean.

anyways... with that note... here is the iphone animations ver 2... a little smoother and more accurate than the previous version i've put up.
[EVO 4G Android Development] superhiro415:
If we're throwing up animation suggestions how about like a fruit ninja cut that goes across the screen, and the two cut pieces slide off to reveal the new page? Or.. something :P
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
well... to figure out what does what will take u sometime... as far as the actual file i mean.

i can't possibly put up a list of what each file does... its way too long... but feel free to pm me if u looking for a specific thing.

and as for the place u gotta look at to see what does what as far as the different functions and such... look here:

http://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/animation/package-summary.html

and u will find everything by looking at the different link they have and such... also, google can help.
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
ok... i should have told u guys that althoug im sure that can be done... i dont know how to create it from scratch and add it to the framework as the option... i didnt go there yet.

but what u asking would require adding an image that will be moved and then the current image on the screen will move... so thats adding extra files and functions and such.

im not sure how to do that yet....

i guess i should have been more specific when i told u guys i can make animations... at this point i can change any object that is already on the screen or supposed to show up on the screen... but i can add objects.

u get me?

i also think something like that would require a little bit more... but i never tried to look into doing something like that.

i can take a look into some apps that have the "gestures" showing on the screen when u move your finger... or dig inside fruit ninja to see... but i'd bet it will send me to some java code that i cant really read 100%...

but if it wont... hey... i might just do it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
ok guys... one last anim for today... and probably for the whole week.

ZoomIn animations (same as the anim when u exit the lockscreen, only for the transitions also).

personally i think this one looks the best so far... especially if u like iphonish animations.
[EVO 4G Android Development] tech7:
Ok i just flash this rom first time on this rom and must i say wow fast beautilful looks hd to me and sometimes laggy but its better then what i had before 4g works awsome but hotspot on 4g not so well i do pay the 30 bucks andanyway to stop the tether hack so i can use the orginal way lol i sort of got in trouble for not paying the 30 bucks so must need
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
ohhh... so u need a version without the hack...

gotya... well that will require me to do some smali work and remove claks tweak... which is easier then reporting jschisurf mod back into the framework.jar.

anyways... i promise u ill make u a fix by tomorrow evening.
[EVO 4G Android Development] killhr:
Yea i googled it also i was just covering all avenues so again thanks for your work on all this evo stuff
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
Guys... as a quick tip for u all... go into spareparks and slow down the animations a little bit to normal speed.

I'm saying that cuz they will simply look much better.

Next release ill make sure that I adjust the anim speeds to slower.
[EVO 4G Android Development] tonwarr.the.incredible:
Lol...sorry, I knew that one would be a long shot but it did sound pretty sweet...
[EVO 4G Android Development] tech7:
Awsome thanks
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
ok man... here u go... please make sure u backup before u flash... but it should work for u.

if u run into some issues just let me know.

for anyone else that wonders... this zip will remove calk's tether hack.

this is only if u pay sprint for tethering... otherwise there is no real reason to flash it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Davidp65:
Animations won't load

Hi,

Why is it that I can't get any of your animations to load. When I load one, everything says it loaded ok. When I boot into the home screen, I always get the same home screen?

Regards
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
Animations have nothing to do with the home screen (unless u going into it from the lockscreen).

The animations will playout when u do things on the phone... like start/end a task and such.

Its not like I made something out of nothing here... I just made the transition/window/dialog animations different.
[EVO 4G Android Development] tech7:
Dude ur awsome thanks it work
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
I'm happy it did... I didn't test it myself cuz i tend to trust myself when I change things in codes.

Well... good, as long as everything is good... I can stop checking up on it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] drslevy:
Hey mik , is it possible to do white and blue instead of white and green. I know itcan be done but if its a lot of work don't bother.
[EVO 4G Android Development] shawnten:
Is hulu built in to this rom
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
All in due time... i said a couple of times before that I am planing to make my theme have all colors.

First on my list is red then blue then don't know yet... but I'm also planing to port the dusk theme with a few extras of my own... so just those could take any wehre from a full day to a week.

But as a bottom line answer to your question... yes. Blue will come.
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
No it is not... I use other websites to watch my movies and TVs shows.

So all I need to get to those is a nice adblocker that will kill popups... that's included.

I know everyone here in the USA love hulu. But I come from a place where hulu don't work... that's why I'm usedto other websites... plus.. I hate the commercials.

U can always add the app and patch if u'd like to though.
[EVO 4G Android Development] shawnten:
Which sites do you use if not hulu
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
check your pm.
[EVO 4G Android Development] shawnten:
Thank you kind sir.
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
ok guys... a quick update on batt life... i finally got a chance to finish it after not flashing anything on my phone or resetting it for almost 20 hours.

its about time if u ask me that ill have a day like that.

anyways... my bat is 20% after 18:30 hours of uptime with 4 hours of awake time.

i would consider this batt life as a light use even though i did watch some flash videos (tv show- so approx 30min), about 10 texts, lots of tapatalk, and all of the processes in the background working besides wifi which was used for about an hour out of the 4.

i also d/l about 5-10 apps and games from the market and applenet.

i think these stats are not bad at all.

one thing to keep in mind is that i use setCPU with a screen off set to 245min-384max on demand and no overclock with max 998 and min 245 conserative.

i also set autokiller to the extreme preset.

thats it.

i hope that can give u guys some perspective on my bat life.

maybe some of u got better results or worse... i always say that bat life is really an individual usage/location/device/apps/etc. thing... so u cant really use my stats as a very good indication... but i think that would explain to u guys why i use king bfs#11 and some of the modules from bakedsnake for my rom.

edit:

i will update this post as soon as my batt will die so i can give u guys a better indication into how it looks for from 100-0.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ICEReaction:
Cool ROM.....btw, is there a way to remove some apps that came installed with the ROM? Titanium Backup says successfully removed but the apps are still there.
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
never used titanium backup.... i usually dont trust apps to do the work for me.

i either use root explorer to delete or adb for the apps that r inside the system folder and the other apps can just be uninstalled from settings/applications.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ICEReaction:
alright cool....thanks man. and thanks for the great work, keep it up.
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
ok...

final stats are:

approx 22:20, 22:30 hours of uptime (still counting btw) and approx 5, 5:15 hours of awake time.

when i was at approx 19% i watched a southpark episode on the phone... i also used tapatalk a little bit, sprint nav for about 5 min, and bluetooth for appox 5 min also.

over all... not bad at all... my phone is still on the 1% and has been like that for the past 15-20 minutes... not turned off yet.

i hope u guys get it at least as good as i do.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Shauli20:
Mik, I just flashed 3.25. Must say, cool animations. What do you call the default animations?

Also question: If I reflash the remapped Rosie, will it change the animations to the old ones and will I still be able to flash other custom animations?

Sent from my EVO rockin' MikFroYo!
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
default anim i call twist... or something like that... not sure... but ill make more variations of it.

rosie has nothing to do with anim... the remapping should still work.

for the anim i recommend u go into spare parts and change the speed to normal instead of fast btw... cuz they will look better.

when i made them i forgot that my rom is set to be fast so i didnt adjust the running times of the anim to be slower... and i also thought about releasing it for other roms that probably are set to normal by default (i think only calks rom set it to fast like me... but not as fast as i pre-set it cuz i change a few more things than what calk does) so i preferred to leave it with normal values.

anyways... u should be fine with flashing any anim u want and also the remapping for the 4x5 rosie.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Shauli20:
Thanks. And one more question: what was the file path for the 'hosts' file? I realized after flashing 3.25 I need to change the hosts file again to get ads working... (yeah, I'm crazy like that... :-))

Btw, I would call the animations 'spin'... and Spare Parts was set by default to 'normal' but I changed it to 'slow'!

[EVO 4G Android Development] zerowonderboy:
Mik thats great battery life ive just been trying to mimic ur setup and im getting improved battery life dramaticaly i unplugged my phone this morning about 9 and used my phone alll day because my basketball tournament got cancelled... it died about an hour ago and its 10 a clock to me that sounds impossible to when i got the phone my battery last about the car ride home from bestbuy from 30 percent haha
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
system/etc...

and i would assume u flashed the update and not the full rom... cuz spareparts should show u fast the first time u look at it coming from a fresh install of my rom.

the only way it would show normal would be if u changed it before and dont remember... although i dont touch spareparts settings i do touch the system speeds... so im pretty sure about that.

happy to know batt life is good for u.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Shauli20:
You're right. I used the update version.

Is it possible that 3.25 and the old remapped Rosie don't like each other? Because I flashed the remapped Rosie and my phone seems to be lagging now...

Sent from my EVO rockin' MikFroYo!
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
well... i did say before that the older rosie is a little less optimized... but i never thought the difference would be noticeable.

i will rework the remaps when ill get a chance to do it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Shauli20:
It seems worse than it was before I flashed 3.25. I'm wondering if the old Rosie is conflicting in any way with some of the optimizations you did to the system?

Sent from my EVO rockin' MikFroYo!
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
it shouldn't... try going into recovery and wipe dalvik and cache... or try to clear rosie's data from settings.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Shauli20:
I don't know what was happening. My phone was behaving weirdly. First lag, then 4G wouldn't turn on...

I just reflashed 3.25 and I guess I'll wait for remapping...

Now I'm trying to pull the Market.apk before I install the new market from Gingerbread. But I can't find what directory it's in. I remember it being in /system/app but its not there now. Do you know what directory it's in?

Sent from my EVO rockin' MikFroYo!
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:

[EVO 4G Android Development] tonwarr.the.incredible:
Yellow and orange would be sweet! Lol... sorry, I guess I'm kinda late to the party...
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
I'm not sure I agree with the yellow, but orange just got added as #3 in the list.

So after I'm done with the dusk theme and doing some Rosies with chingy I will start on:

1. Red.

2. Blue (if u guys know what shade of blue u want that would be good to know).

3. Orange.

4. Don't know yet... maybe purple.

And yellow will be somewhere in the list also.

to be honst though, I don't think anyone knows when and if the new sense will show up... and Gingerbread also... so I'm kinda thinking about waiting.

But, we'll see.

Ill probably start on somethings on Thursday.
[EVO 4G Android Development] hayabusa1300cc:
damn this ROM looks so hot. makes me miss my evo
[EVO 4G Android Development] tonwarr.the.incredible:
Sweet, orange is a theme I haven't really seen around these parts, thank you.

As far as Gingerbread, your guess is probably much better than mine. The Gingerbread SDK thread has pretty much turned into a free for all...lol

I just downloaded the 2.2.6 version of the Android market, but im afriad to install it. If I do, do I need to uninstall the market included in your 3.2 rom?

Sent from my Overclocked, FroYo'ed-up 2.2.1 EVO 4G :p
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
dont know didnt try it myself...

im 99% sure that u cant have both of them on the phone... but im also 99% sure that the file name is the same as the original one... so it will probably overwrite it anyways.

if not... the file for the market is Vending.apk and its inside the system/app folder.

let me know if u need help with anything... but i hope u can manage.
[EVO 4G Android Development] apheonixboy:
The name is:

com.android.vending_2.2.6.apk

Which means I have to rename it right? Another thing is that its placed on my Download folder, and im thinking I have to place it in System/app where the vending.apk is. Astro isn't helping me in the uninstall process either.

Sent from my Overclocked, FroYo'ed-up 2.2.1 EVO 4G :p
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
well...

u can rename the file to "Vending.apk" and push into system/app (make sure u use the capital "V")

or... u can just try to install it... i think it would work.

if installing dont work... u can also just use adb to delete vending.

my best suggestion though it to use adb and type this in:

1. adb remount

2. adb push filepath/com.android.vending_2.2.6.apk /system/app/Vending.apk.

that should work.

edit:

u need the file on your computer to do this with adb btw.
[EVO 4G Android Development] apheonixboy:
I see.. well I tried opening the com.android.vending_2.2.6.apk and it only asks me to uninstall it. Obviously because its an android market apk. But is there another way to unistall the vending.apk since im at work and I don't get out until 9pm

[EVO 4G Android Development] apheonixboy:
Oops. I forgot to say that I saw an Upgrade button and Astro asked me if I wanted to upgrade the current version of market. I pressed ok and it backed up my old settings and I got the New apk to work!! Thanks for your help!! :)

[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
ok... so u got it... good.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Shauli20:
Not sure what you did. But I just did adb pull on the old Vending.apk so I have a backup in case the new Market app gives me issues (as some people have reported). Then I installed the new Market straight from the folder it was downloaded to, and it just overwrote the old Market (I used ES File Explorer).

Tada! New Market installed successfully, and seems to work fine so far.

Here is a link for the new Market for anyone interested: http://db.tt/H4pabfO
