I used the following command

adb push bootanimation.zip /system/customize/resource

it copies it over but the animation screen is the same. Looks as though I have to remove all bootani's that are in the folder and add my own.
[EVO 4G Android Development] D.J.CaSpER:
Yes that is what I said. U have to replace it with the one u want.

Mik,

I decided to install setcpu yesterday and this morning I added the autorun app and so far I have been up almost 13 hours and still have 52% battery left. Granted I did a light day on usage but still I think the two apps helped a lot. I got to say that this may be the best ROM I ever used on the phone. I may try another kernel, Netarchy 4.1.9, but not sure if I would gain anything at all. Anyone else ever used it with your ROMs and got better battery life?
[EVO 4G Android Development] D.J.CaSpER:
I have everything working great and my profiles I set in setcpu r beast. But I downloaded launcher pro and I can't remove it now I've looked all through root explorer and can't fine or I'm just looking in Tue wrong places.

[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
ok... finally got to play with this 4x5 thing... its cute... all the widgets become tiny if u dont change modify them also... so like i said... cute. i actually like the calendar widget smaller...

here are some quick screenshot:

​

as u can probably see i can add more shortcuts under the calendar.

the only issue is that i might need to do a little more tham just redoing all the htc widgets... some other ones could and probably would be affected also... so im not sure it would make everyone happy... but i could definitely put a mod like that... but i think ill try to figure out a different way of doing what the guy at ava thread did... cuz i think there has to be more ways to it... it doesn't make sense to me that i would need to change layouts of widgets... they home screen should fit...

ill do my best to find a better way of doing what he did.

another quick new flash...

although remapping rosie keys is easy... it measn that i would have to resign all the widgets cuz i will have to resign rosie... that means that u might not be able to d/l htc widgets and make them work... i can however d/l all of them for u and simply sign them with the same signature and then it will work.

so... again... it just gets messier and messier... but not hard to clean up... if u know what i mean.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mplaines:
Go into settings / applications and scroll down to launcherpro and uninstall it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Ninjutsu10:
I like how the clock widget is smaller. But the calendar? not so much :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
i know what u mean... its like it doesn't fit... kinda...

but its not a hard things to fix.

especially since someone else already did the job for me... i just gotta look at what he changed.

i am however gonna look and see if i can change up some values in rosie to make just shortcuts be 4x5 and everything else the usual 4x4... then i wont have to edit all those widgets.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Shauli20:
Sounds promising. Looking forward!

Anyone getting sporadic charging issues ? Mostly happening with car charger. No its not a cheap car charger :-) connection is good so is connection. I have other phones and they work great. Just curious. One of my fav ROMs
[EVO 4G Android Development] mplaines:
Mik what is the deal with flashing another boot animation with this rom? I can't seem to flash a different one did you change the location of where the files load from?
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
look at the command u have up there...

i said it like 2-3 times before that the default location is different.

u need to push it into /system/media/ and it will work.
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
im not sure where u got your charger... but i used to run a store that took phones apart and sell all the accessories and such before i started school.

i can tell u that although u might have paid a lot for the charger it doesnt mean it works good... especially if its a "universal" droid charger.

also... keep in mind that a car charger could charge your phone even slower than what it would if u plug it into the computer's usb.

with all that said... 90% of the time if u dont have the original specific charger for the EVO it wont work as it should.

dont get me wrong... personally i would never pay for an original charger cuz its too much money... but i also wont expect a non original to work just as good.

now... im not sure if your issue is just with my rom or all other roms.. but if its just mine... i really dont know why...

but if i would have to guess, i would try a different kernel cuz i think king added charging tweaks to his.
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
ok guys... a flashable zip with 4x5 layout should be up soon...

to those of u who weren't paying attention... this means u can have 12 shortcuts under the clock in the homescreen and to sum it up... basically have 5 icons in every column.

i can make it so that it will be 5x5... kinda like the app drawer... but that would require to change the text sizes to smaller so that it would show all the text...

if anyone is really interested in a mod like that... let me know.

this mode will not messup your ability to d/l htc widgets but keep in mind that most htc widgets are set to a layout of 4x4.... so if u have any issues with a specific widget after applying this mode let me know which widget it was and ill fix it for u guys... so far im changing up all the widgets thats included in the rom by default... and nothing more.

stay tuned... it should be up in a couple of hours.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jordant2:
And what about rosie remaps?
[EVO 4G Android Development] mplaines:
Sorry I didn't see your post. Thanks

==========
[EVO 4G Android Development] Shauli20:
I'm really excited for this!

Did you figure out a way to make 4×5 only for shortcuts but not have to modify the widgets? Or did you end up making the HTC widgets smaller?
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
actually... no... couldn't figure it out... cuz once u set rosie to have a layout of 4x5 thats how it stays...

now... there are two options... and i took the easy one out.

all the widgets are preset to take a certain amount of space... so basically what i did was to change that space for example form 4 to 5... instead of making all the images of that widget smaller and changing locations... that kinda means that the only advantage u guys get is to have more shortcuts at every screen cuz now all the widgets will take up the room they are supposed to take but each screen is 4x5 so u can use more 1x1 widgets.

now... i can go the other route... but im trying to also make sure not to resign anything... so thats why im doing like that instead of the other way.

i do think however that for remapping i will have to resign... so we'll see maybe in the future ill make a different version.

edit:

btw... the issue is when moving from the 4x4 to 4x5 is mostly because when something is set to up 4x4 or 2x4 it takes under consideration the fact that the screen is supposed to be 4x4.... so thats why the size is different and while playing with some stuff i saw that buttons and such are not in place... so instead of moving their locations and even the text locations... it is easier to let them be a little bigger... i didn't try to make them the exact size that they r supposed to be (which is 4 and a quarter) i just made the surface that they take up bigger.
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
probably tomorrow or sat... but maybe later today.
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
ok... so here is the 4x5 layout i made.

although i didnt do exactly as daryelv on the ava rom thread... he does deserve the credit for it.

so many thanks to him.

btw... this will also give u guys 5 icons in a row for the app drawer... so if u need the 4 icons in a row version... let me know... ill make one.

here is the link... an ill post screen shots sometime when ill get a chance if no one else feels like it.

MikFroyo-Rosie-4x5-Layout-signed.zip

have fun.

edit:

sorry, forgot to put friend stream in it... im fixing it now... just 10 more min...

edit 2:

ok... link is back up... sorry about that.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Shauli20:
So for example, if I use HTC's clock & weather widget I still will only have 2 rows under it?
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
no.... for htc clock i made sure its still 2x4... so u can put 12 shortcuts under the clock.

its all the uncommon apps that i didnt touch... like smaller twitter and facebook... everything that is set to 1x4 or 1x1 is still the same cuz there was no need in changing it... everything that was 2x4 most likely is 3x4 now.

and btw... if u use fancywidget... it still only takes 2x4 anyways.

edit:

another thing also... i know it might sound stupid... but since i know how to do this now... its is possible go ever crazier... and do an 8x8... or whatever... im dont think im going to cuz that means making everything smaller... but it is doable and fairly easy to do.
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
ok guys... a few quick questions for u.

1. does anyone still want a stand-alone version of the theme?

2. with the remapping mode im going to make... do u guys want icons on the sides of the white launcher, or leaving it the way it is accepted by everyone?

3. anything else that u guys saw a liked somewhere else?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Shauli20:
But then how did you fix the issue with the clock widget being clipped? Did you make it smaller?

I think I'm missing something with how this 4×5 thing works.

Btw, can you explain to me what exactly is this remapping thing? I don't get what you're trying to change.

Sent from my EVO rockin' MikFroYo!
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
im not bringing anything that has not been done before with the whole remapping thing.... but basically, right now when u push the the buttom right u get the "add widget to homescreen" menu... remapping would basically mean that when u push that button u will get the browser or handcent or anything else u feel like getting when u push that button instead of the add widget thing...

thats basically what remapping would give u.

now... as for the 4x5... for the clock i simply moved the text up so that i would still fit the 2x4 layout.

i can try and explain to u exactly how it works.. but the bottom line is that rosie is by default set to a 4x4... so are all the htc widgets... and i basically changed it to a 4x5... the issue is that the htc widgets dont search to check what the layout is... they are just kinda predefined with sizes that match a 4x4 layout of a 480x800 screen.... thats why it wasn't enough to change just rosie.

btw.. i do think that i might have just found a method to make it work without changing all the widgets... but im not sure yet... im trying it out in a little bit to check and see if it works or not.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jordant2:
1) Don't worry about the stand-alone theme, too much work just to flash on top of a rom that might not be as stable as yours already is.

2) I like it with no icons the way it is now. I guess other people might like icons, I need to see how that looks. I have seen this mod on a few other roms and I was still able to download the htc widgets. I used this mod on myns rom.

3)As soon as I can think of anything else I'll comment.

Great work so far. I'm not going to try the 4x5 mod though.
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
im not sure why u not going to try it... but ok...

that means i gotta make a new version with remapped keys...

i just made the browser one for the 4x5 layout.

didnt need to resign... so im happy about that.

ill make a few other ones... im not sure which remapping to do though... i might just stick to whats been done unless some will have a special request.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Shauli20:
Mik, I'm very eager to try the 4×5 layout, but I'm afraid if I don't like it I will be stuck (I don't want to a Nandroid restore). Can you possibly make another zip to take us back to 4×4?

Sent from my EVO rockin' MikFroYo!
[EVO 4G Android Development] jordant2:
Just in case I don't like the layout or I want to revert back. I can always nand though. But I guess I can give it a try. I'm very happy with the rom and my layout right now. Just don't want to mess anything up. Let me get that browser zip!
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
ok... i dont think u guys wont like it... just cuz its exactly the same as the regular layout... only u have more room to put shortcuts...

dont look at the old screen shots i've put up... it doesnt look the same as that.

i fixed to be just the same as the regular.

think about it like this... if u like the 5 rows in the app drawer... i cant see why u wont like this.

again... personally i dont think u would need so many shortcuts... but it is a nice option to have.

the icons are just closer together... thats it.

edit:

and yes i will make a zip to revet... it wont take more than 10 min to make it and upload it.... but i am working on the remapping now.

edit 2:

yes... sorry i didnt mention it... but it will probably reset the layout to a default one... so try to keep a scene with your layout.
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
ok.... ive done all the remaps for the 4x5 layout... ill make some flashables and upload it for u guys in a few.

also, i left it with no icons for now... so unless someone feels like they have to have an icon... i wont make one.

ill do remaps for the 4x4 layout later on.

in order to get the correct layout though... u will have to flash the 4x5 layout first.

also... they are all by default with the 5 row app drawer simply because im gonna make it my default launcher from now on.

as far as the layout... im not sure if ill stick to 4x5 or switch to 4x4... cuz i dont need the space... but i really dont mind having it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
ok... here are all the flashables... i stuck to what JsChiSurf did as default remapping options... if u guys have request... please make them.

please note that these are for the 4x5 rosie layout and if u want to have the widgets layout to be correct u need to have the 4x5 mode installed (look for it in the third post).

i will make a different version for those who want to stick to the 4x4 layout sometime tomorrow.

have fun.

p.s.

if u have any issues please wipe cache and dalvik-cache before flashing.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mrmomoman:
Some kernels are pickier than others. I own a cell phone accessories company so I test a few items out. In 3.0 i had no problems but in 3.1 its sporadic. It will charge then stop then charge again. I use a USB car charger with the HTC cable.. I am thinking the kernel is probably it. Will let you know.
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
sure man... im assuming its probably it also... i never checked king's thread to see if someone else said the same thing as u did though, but thats the biggest difference between the two roms that could be doing it... other than that... v3.1 is not much different.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jordant2:
What will this do to the widgets that are not htc widgets? Like the pure music widget? I like the 4x1 music widget much better than the stock music widget or the htc widgets because it's smaller but still shows album art. Will it now not take up the width of the screen with these mods? I'm a little confused.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Shauli20:
So I just flashed the 4×5 remapping the right key to camera, and I'm getting a screen for setting up a mail account. So it seems the labels on some of these zip files got mixed up. Can you update this?

Also, I see the HTC clock widget still takes only 4×2 but it's clipped. That was the issue the guy in Ava's thread had, and he modified it to make it smaller. How do you fix this?

[EVO 4G Android Development] FastJoe78:
Okay, this is still the best sense based ROM(although I used a Sense Remover, after a few days so I could use pro launcher plus without feeling dirty, lol!) Two things though...

1. I believe there is an issue with the Android Market and the 3.30 OTA...is there a way to upgrade the market for compatibility?

2. I noticed that the kernel you are using keeps the phone awake and causes major issues with overheating, which in turn, causes the battery to stop charging then restarts, so to fix this I started using netarchy - toast's 4.2.1 beta universal aggressive. I switched the governor to smartass on setcpu and totally disabled the profiles and the battery life is ridiculous, as in WOW! You might want to sart looking at a different kernel...

Awesome work with the remaps...Ii tried those a month ago on another ROM, but every time I rebooted it would force closing the launcher then be fine but it freaked me out so I switched to your beast of a ROM

PS the kernel I mentioned also cuts charging time in half or I smoke to much...idk which but I'm leaning toward the first...
[EVO 4G Android Development] jordant2:
Not seeing the same issues kernel wise that you were having, but they say each phone is slightly different when it comes to that.

I heard about the market issues also and sometimes can't download. Haven't had any problems the last 2 days though.

I think I'm going to wait for the 4x4 remaps though.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Shauli20:
The width is not what's changing. It's the length. So 4×1 widgets are not affected at all. They will still take up full width of the screen.

4×2 apps can be affected, because the 2 spaces it's supposed to use are closer together.

Hope this clarifies a bit.

the clock widget shouldn't be like in your pic... i made sure it works...

try to remove it and put it back.

it worked for me when i tested it a few hours ago.

and if u sure about me mixing up the zips for remapping ill take a quick look at them... but it could have happened cuz i did it really quick.

וטוב לדעת שגם בעברית אפשר לכתוב לך.

edit:

u r right.. camera is mail... did u notice anything else?

if not... im taking a look right now to see what happened... but worst case ill have a cam version up in that thread in about 10 min.
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
1. the issue with the market is cuz the 3.30 didnt have the new market version on it... my rom does... so there should be no issues.

2. dont have that issue over here...

i always wipe everything when i switch to different versions though... and maybe u didnt cuz i said u guys dont have to.

and i think i will look into a diff kernel... it seems that king has been banned... not that i care that much about it... but i dont care about it cuz he started to charge people for his work. which kinda sucks, maybe he thinks he's reinvesting the wheel or something... dont know... dont care.. as long as my phone works good and has no issues... im happy with all and any of the kernels that are out there.
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
Ok... the remap for the camera is back and is the right one this time... i must have mixed up between the different Rosie files when i changed their names.

now as for anyone that has any issues with the 4x5 layout... and the htcclock.

its all working for me here... either reflash or maybe just remove the widget and take it back.

one last options would be to simply extract the HtcClockWdiget.apk form the flashable zip and use adb to push it.

just type in:

adb remount

adb push HtcClockWidget.apk /system/app/

no restart needed.

i had some issues with it myself a few times but the final zip i made worked... im not sure why if u will simply push the apks it always works and if u flash them it might miss something... probably something to do with the data on the phone... maybe ill add some more things to be deleted in the script, like the data for the widgets... ill do it now.
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
shauli20 basically gave u an answer... btw... when i say 4x5 i mean 4 width 5 hight... so any widget that is basically 1 in hight and 4 in width will never have issues.

but just to clarify a little more... the only widgets that could have issues will only be the htc ones and not any other kind.

the reason for that is that there are phone that are set to have a 4x5 layout and the evo dont... so all the htc widgets r set to a 4x4 while all the other ones are set to adjust... i hope u kinda get what im saying here.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Shauli20:

Btw, I didn't realize the zip to wipe widget data would delete all my custom scenes. Luckily I had 'Android home' backed up with MyBackup app so most of my setup was restored.

ill know more about the batt life in a day or two... cant judge yet.

i do think that if my batt will last until tomorrow morning its gonna be added to the update zip im making and gonna put out sometime tomorrow or sunday.

today i gotta do remaps for the 4x4 rosie layout.

which should be quicker than it took me to do the 4x5...
