well u right... turning off processes and underclocking would give u a huge increase in batt life.

i once went to place where there is not sprint (outside the us)... anyways... airplane mode... my phone was going for like a week straight.

but that with no calls... but i did use wifi every now and then to talk using google apps or fring.
[EVO 4G Android Development] killhr:
which kernal are you using
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
right now... the one that comes with the rom... king bfs #11.... if u refering to the one week think... i dont even remember which one it was.

but probably one of net's old kernels.
[EVO 4G Android Development] zerowonderboy:
You talk about turning off processes what is that??
[EVO 4G Android Development] drslevy:
any programs or apps running in the background not necessary for the phone to work plus the fact that all wireless processes( wifi, bluetooth and the likes) are turned off as well.
[EVO 4G Android Development] zerowonderboy:
Thx but I know what it is I was just wondering how to turn them off with the processes app that comes with the rom.
[EVO 4G Android Development] drslevy:
you could use any system monitor from android market to do it. 2 of my favourites are advance process manager and system panel lite. both are free but be aware that they will hog cpu cycles info themselves so i usually only use them now to see if there is anything eating away at my resources if the phone is running slow.

I hope thats the answer you were looking for.
[EVO 4G Android Development] zerowonderboy:
Ya thanks for ur help!!
[EVO 4G Android Development] dominguezcarlosm:
best ROM for me

Almost perfect. Tow deteils thaI t liketo add.

In the dock bar at the bottom left add the arrow icon(app)

-at the bottom right add the plus icon(setting).
[EVO 4G Android Development] jlip5617:
So i just thought i would share what i found today. Its an app called ButtonRemap. this app lets you remap any button you want. this is very helpful on the evo especially because there is no camera button. you can even remap the soft keys. i have been looking for somethin like this for a long time and finally found it. i just thought i would pass it on in this forum because i have gotten so much useful information here, not to mention this is by far the best rom EVER! Sorry for bein a lil off topic, but i hope i can help somebody out!
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
i was actually thinking about adding text... but originally i left it empty cuz i like it like that.

i actually have a half trans look of my theme running around here in the thread... not sure where exactly... but feel free to d/l that and try it... it has the plus and app symbols on the bottom.
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
good find... i think saw it before somewhere also... i just dont use my phone all that much that i would want to remap keys.

i know u can also remap keys to the audio software (like play/pause/next/etc) using the vol buttons and such.

btw... i think i also know how to do that from within the phone... like changing some settings and such to make it behave like that by default.

but thats a little too much of an individual choice... so i never really play with it.

anyways... thanks for the info... im sure more than a few users here would be happy with that find.
[EVO 4G Android Development] cochese2323:
Can't get my sprint hotshot to work..... shows its connected on the phone and my MacBook but when I open my browser it says I am not connected to the internet. Not sure if it has to do with the Rom or user error or my computer but it was working before when I was on 3.2..... any ideas?
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
sometimes u gotta use the usb tether option... than wifi works... im not sure why that happens like that sometimes... but it just does.

i think that when u use the usb tether it will tell the phone that u dont need the sprint authentication.... and just using the wifi tether dont do that.

again... im not sure why that happens... but its something i noticed and if u follow what i said u will get 100% success with the sprint hotspot app.
[EVO 4G Android Development] pwnsicle:
i absolutely loved your ROMs on my diamond and i think it would be a great idea to do a port of windows mobile's htc sense over to android. i actually asked about this in a thread before and got crickets so i'm glad you're up to the challenge.

great work on your ROMs as always. they are the best mix of everything i want: good performance and battery life. something much different from stock ( don't like my phone looking like every other EVO...). and everything WORKS. i've played around with various desire HD ports and even a MIUI ROM and they're just not functional enough.

on another note, on your latest 3.2.5 ROM, i'm having problems completely uninstalling programs and widgets i don't use. the normal procedure is to use titanium backup to uninstall, but i've noticed that they're still there in the app drawer and i can even launch them. at first i thought it was because i did an update from 3.2 so i even did a fresh install vs an update of 3.2.5 and same thing. can anybody help me out?
[EVO 4G Android Development] jlip5617:
Pwnsicle: To remove apps completely with titanium backup open it up and turn on chuck Norris mode. For some reason v3.25 unchecks it by default. I had the same problem.

[EVO 4G Android Development] pwnsicle:
hmm i turned on chuck norris mode and uninstalled everything i didn't want but that didn't work. is there anything else i should be looking at? thanks for the help too!
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
i cant really ort sense from the wm to android... i wish i knew how... cuz i love sliding my finger on the bar.

but i will port the looks of it.

as far as titanium... i dont use it... i use either rootexplorer or adb to remove programs...

but, if it doesn't work there might be an issue with busybox.. although i dnt think there is one... but maybe.

if someone else got titanium to uninstall stuff... u should be able to also... worst case... adb never fails... just erase the programs u dont use.
[EVO 4G Android Development] pwnsicle:
okay so after messing around with no progress, i just did a fresh install of your 3.2 ROM and used titanium backup WITHOUT chuck norris mode on. it was able to un-install all the programs flawlessly. so after reading aamikam's post, i'm thinking maybe it's busy box? i never really tried using a rootexplorer or adb to uninstall anything so i guess i could give it a try
[EVO 4G Android Development] ICEReaction:
I think it is the busybox problem. I'm running 3.25 and initially I couldn't get apps to be uninstalled with Titanium Backup, so I removed .apks from the zip file before I flashed it. And just now I clicked on Problems? and reinstalled busybox and was able to successfully remove an app.
[EVO 4G Android Development] tonwarr.the.incredible:
I have to agree, it looks much cleaner the way it is. That was actually one of the initial things that attracted me to this ROM.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Haze69:
Just a little update on what I was able to achieve by turning off my data connection when it wasn't in use, again I've been a little bit busy so I only used it for texting a few phone calls and email and banking here and there and of course some xda ;)
[EVO 4G Android Development] jlip5617:
Did you try restarting after turning on chuck Norris mode? Also I remember in titanium backup I hit the problems button and it asks you to install somethin (I believe its a know working version of busy box)and hit yes do it, then make sure chuck Norris mode is selected again, restart, then delete away lol

Is this the adb command for removing apps?

rm -r /system/app/name.apk

Sent from my EVO rockin' MikFroYo!
[EVO 4G Android Development] pwnsicle:
yeah it was definitely the busy box. i downgraded it from 1.17.3 to 1.17.1 using the busy box from the market and used titanium backup (without turning on chuck norris mode) and the apps stayed un-installed! thanks a bunch to all those who helped!
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
well... make sure u do "adb remount" first and u should also write "adb rm ...."

but yes that would work.
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
guys... a quick question for u.

i started a little bit to make the red/blue versions... now.. here is the deal.

the batt icons with the % numbers on them just look bad in red/blue.

so im asking u guys if u saw a some batt icons that will go good somewhere... i can make new ones... but its not fun making 110-120 icons from scratch.

if u guys have no clue or dont really care what i pick.. ill probably end up remaking it anyways... but just in case u saw something that looks good... feel free to link me to it.

btw... im also gonna do orange and probably purple next.

so u guys will have green/red/blue/orange/purple versions to pick from...

please note that the only things that will change would be the highlights and icons... so basically everything that u see now in green would change to red/blue/orange/etc. and not the whole theme and such.

so far im sticking to the white widgets.. although i need to also give attention to the black widgets version... which will also come soon.

for the next release ill put up 2 roms... one white and one black.

i hope to give u guys a quick update sometime next week... and after that ill start to focus on doing some theming or trying to port different mods and such.

i like the bottom left one, it shows blue wneh the battery is full so maybe that one.
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
i see... i was thinking since it shows % changing colors wont be an issue.

but i get your point.

ill check it out.
[EVO 4G Android Development] wmdunn:
Wow Bud ... you are ambitious. I always like your work ... great attention to detail. Can't wait to see! Thanks ...
[EVO 4G Android Development] aaronb03:
Not having alot of fun with the updated one. When I uninstall off titanium either doesn't do the uninstall or starts force closing and have to reset the phone. Going back to 3.2 for now.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jlip5617:
Hey Miko, everything you've done so far looks Badass so I think it would be cool to see what you come up with for battery indicator. How ever I understand it would take a while so I think the ones that one of the people above suggested would be cool too.

seems like there is a lot of files changed in this ota... anyways.. ill get to work on it... ill try to have a release sometime this weekend.

im gonna redo some stuff... so it might take time.

im gonna go ahead and rebuild some stuff this time around.

edit:

im gonna really redo stuff this time just cuz i know so much more things about android than what i knew back when i released my ver3.0 which is was based off calk's rom and kept rolling.

this time ill make a rom thats 100% my work form 0 to 100 instead of from 25/35-100.

ill put up beta for u guys to try if i would feel like i need to test somethings out before putting it up.

edit 2:

btw... i really hate to do this and say this... but i will have to wait on some themes and such until i get my new rom running.

so i'm just saying sorry.
[EVO 4G Android Development] tonwarr.the.incredible:
I definitely can't wait to see what you come up with! Never a dull moment on XDA with surprises around every corner! :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
ok guys... so a quick progress report...

im re separating some of the htc apps and widgets from their resources and such...

big improvement...

now... a tiny heads up... im cleaning up languages also from the packages... which means im leaving only english and spanish as options on the phone... the reason im doing that is because it actually cuts the resources.arsc file to about 30-40% of its original size... which means smaller apk... which means faster loading, etc.

now... i do hope that no one minds that im doing that... i see no reason to keep all of the extra 30-40 languages on the rom cuz localiztion for the Evo is only english and spanish i think anyways.

let me know what u guys think of it... cuz if someone needs a language... ill leave it in.
[EVO 4G Android Development] chubbzlou:
Sound good but I think you should or if it could be done have the extra language in and addon zip. Just a thought.
[EVO 4G Android Development] killhr:
I think thats a good idea
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
i see what u saying... but i cut it out of the apk resources... and i think i really see the different if i use it...

i've attached the rosie apk real quick for u guys to check out for yourselves and tell me if its faster or not.

i dont think im imagining it to be smoother... but u guys can judge.

its for the 4x5 layout, and just push into the phone using adb should work.

edit:

btw... ignore that clear bar at the top of the app drawer... that was to check that my separation from the htc resources worked.

Will pushing this Rosie.Apk reset our homescreen setup or button remap?

Sent from my EVO rockin' MikFroYo!
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
No, but u should think of it as a test version...

I'm gonna try to let u guys in to the things I do as I keep doing stuff... so unless its an "official" release... its all in testing.
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
ok guys... i think u gonna love the next release...

it will take me a long time to finish... but taking out useless things from the apks is having a huge difference on performance.

not to mention that the overall size of the rom will get smaller.

i think this is the first time im actually whiling to promise u guys that the next release will be probably the fastest sense rom u ever saw.

but im jumping ahead of myself... ill have to finish it first before really noticing how everything will work from all aspects.

im also redoing some graphics... like i said... im building this one from scratch.
[EVO 4G Android Development] shawnten:
nice cant wait to try it out
[EVO 4G Android Development] finsmaniac02:
mik -

I freakin love your rom, but ever since there has been a stable Sense HD rom (Echo 1.3.9 right now) with working cams/video cams, I don't think I can go back to normal Sense...

Are you considering making a sense HD rom? Or even porting your skin to the new way that Sense HD does skins? (see this page: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=801928 )
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
i know what u mean... the hd roms have become fairly stable...

im not jumping there yet though cuz i hope a little bit of hope that we will see this as an update to the evo someday... and im already doing too much... so im skipping it for now... or to be more accurate... its not really high in the list for me.

im sure that if the evo will never get this version of sense... ill switch to the ports, or maybe even try to make my own port... but thats not gonna happen for atleast 2,3 weeks if i even go there.

im happy u like my work... ill be sure to make my theme work on sense hd some day... ill even add the 4x5 layout for it... but not for a couple of weeks from now.
[EVO 4G Android Development] TMartin:
Hard to live without 4G too.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mikeDCMDVA:
Does this not have 4G? I'm confuseddddd
[EVO 4G Android Development] finsmaniac02:
Yeah we just got 4G here in columbus OH.

The only place I can get it is at home, and I get like 1 bar. Even with that 1 bar it is SLIGHTLY faster than my wifi connected to roadrunner (although uses more battery I think).

If I could get 4G at work, I might not be able to live without it, but as it is I'll just use wifi at home.

Are people with good 4g connections experiencing better than wifi/cable-internet speeds?

p.s. mikeDCMDVA - they are just referring to me talking about sense HD roms, those don't have 4G. This one does
[EVO 4G Android Development] ICEReaction:

Mik, I've been following Calkulin's mods thread too and I'm wondering if you figured out a way to have the Hotspot and USB Tethering working on your new upcoming ROM?

Sent from my EVO rockin' MikFroYo!
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
no... no tweeter man...

sorry.

there is so much im doing now to try and port all the mods and also to rebuild everything... it will take time.

but, im pretty sure i can get it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mikeDCMDVA:
This ROM is awesome!

I was rocking tethered 4G speeds yesterday and I absolutely LOVE the sounds that are in this ROM.

A+++
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
ok... so redoing things is really tons of work...

im just letting u guys know it will take sometime to get this done.. and since im basically rebuild all the apks... even longer.

im also not sure yet how to go about porting the powerwidgets and the usb tether... i didnt really look at it yet... and i hope it wont be a nightmare.

anyways... ill try to push a alpha/beta version of the rom sometime tonight for u guys to check out... it might not have everything working as good as i want it to... but it will give u guys something to play with for a lil while.

edit:

been thinking a little...

im gonna put put a stock rom version of my build... just so who ever wants can build on it...

its much faster due to the small resources sizes... so hopefully its something that people would like.
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
ok guys... im close to finishing the re-engineered stock rom i made.

i will have to start working on my own rom a little later.. i had to make the base first cuz its just soo much better with all the changes i made to the apks.

so this is the quick break down...

ill start a new post... i hope all devs would switch to that base btw... its highly optimized because all of the resources files are now somewhere form 10% to 10 times smaller than their original size.

it took me a nice two days to finish up... but i basically had to rebuild approx 130 apk and not to mention changing approx 10,000 (if not more) xml edits.

i think the result is pretty damn good as far as speed goes... i can also say that since the apks are smaller now, the phone will use less mem and it should result in an increase in batt life also.

basically what i did was removing all the localizations from the apk's and left inside only english and spanish.

i also changed all of the "fill_parent" methods to "match_parent" cuz starting android 2.2 google dev web site said that the "fill_parent" method should no longer be used and should be avoided. (doesnt that tell u a lot about how lazy htc are :))

i based this idea on the old way of cooking manila for windows mobile where we would take out the unused languages to save space.

here i kinda did the same thing... the only difference is that it required to basically rebuild all the apks in the rom... and thats why it took so f'ing long to do.

now... the reason im saying its fast... is cuz it simply is...

but, think about it... smaller apk size means faster loading time.

of course that compressing the apk is an idea that many devs have used before... but, compressing an apk sometimes means that will load slower cuz it might take more time for the system to decompress it than it would loading it (u guys can google it and read about it if u'd like).

here there is simply no need to heavily compress... the resources in every apk are simply up to 10 times smaller with my changes.

anyways... im just giving u guys a quick update so u know what i've been up to and why i didnt update the rom to the new ota yet.
[EVO 4G Android Development] tonwarr.the.incredible:
Anxiously awaiting the arrival! Curious to see what you've done with it thus far!
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
well... so far im only doing it stock...

ill put it up a little bit later today for everyone.

the first thing u will notice is how the loading time of every app got basically cut down in half if not more.

the size of the rom got smaller also of course.

i think i can safely say its probably the fastest sense rom you'll ever see...

of course batt life has not been tested yet, and i did do a quick check on linpack... im not sure if its good or not... but i had 35 avg with a stock kernel.

anyways... this should only be a base... the sad part is that any theme u might put on it will basically slow it down.

its basically like my own personal build of a complete htc sense rom... i basically took the ruu and rebuilt almost everything.

its a lot more than simply tweaking stuff, sure as f took forever.
[EVO 4G Android Development] killhr:
Yea me Too Mik !!!!!!!!!!!
[EVO 4G Android Development] tonwarr.the.incredible:
How heavy is your theming going to be and how much impact will it have on the overall speed? I know you don't have any real-world numbers yet but just curious what your expectations are.
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
i didnt even start to do any theming yet... my rom will probably be done in a few days from now... but the stock version that i use as my base should be up in a few hours.

now.. when i say themes will affect i mean that cuz the theme is based on a package that is not optimized like what i did... it will basically kill the optimization.

all u would need to do is change a few images etc and u fine... but flashing a theme will kill your speed cuz the resources inside the apks will be bigger.

im not sure im explaining it right... but basically think of it like this...

all themes that r out not still have all the useless languages etc. in the apk.

i hope u get my point.

my theming is not gonna effect anything on my packages... cuz im gonna build it on my package... but other themes that r built on different packages will.

i hope u get what im saying here.
[EVO 4G Android Development] tonwarr.the.incredible:
Makes perfect sense to me! What you're saying is other themes were made to support Sense, as it was designed by HTC and would revert everything back to stock whereas yours will be made to plug right into all the existing changes you've implemented thereby creating a minimal footprint?
