thanks, man! glad you like them. i didn't paint the icarus image, actually. that's concept art from god of war 3. it looked so good, i didn't want to touch it up at all. it just reeked of greek to me. thanks again!

aw crap, that was actually the plan. i forgot! i did mention that i'll be more than happy to customize it for anyone else. i'll take it out and upload it in a while (just woke up!)

it's not a lot of trouble lol. just need to tweak some stuff here and there.

WallPaper

I have a wallpaper request for a Snap Argyle wallpaper that goes with MattedBlue or any other color. Thank you
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] -shift-:
i may have a few. i'll take a look and post them up sometime tomorrow once i'm done with the icons.

by argyle, you mean the design style, correct? also, i'm not doing snap wallpaper simply because my snap wallpaper work is only released with snappapers, which i've stopped making. i can make mattedblues-themed argyle wallpaper though.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Lento10:
Yes, argyle style wallpaper for mattedblues-themed would be great. thank you
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] dabezt1:
Hey shift could you design a splash with my username DaBezt1 incorporated into it? Nothing fancy, just something on a dark background like carbon fiber. Id be more than happy to donate for all your hard work

Big news update

*** BREAKING NEWS ***​

with a heavy heart, i have to say that i'm going to stop taking requests now. i have to dedicate myself to snap completely with our big .35 release coming soon. i need to focus on that exclusively now.

however, i'm going to finish up all the requests that i've gotten so far. i'll be working on them over the next few days and will release them in small batches, so you guys don't have to wait too long.

again, i'm sorry, but it was a lot of fun and thanks for all the support, kind words, and ego boosts you guys have given me :D

with that said, i have some big projects coming up over the next few months, and you'll be seeing those in this forum as well as the dev forums. hope to you see guys there too!

there are a couple methods, depending on which way you want to apply the splashes. i'll pm you later tonight with details.

haha no worries, my friend. i've been there too. i'll be honest, the reason why i've been delayed with request work is because of the gf; i totally understand what you mean. good thing they still have it though.

icon requests for moonwalker and bigfudge done (finally!)

moonwalker:

this is what they look like. they're in the RAIDEN-ICONS.zip file.​

bigfudge:

here's how your icons look:

black background

white background

your icons are in the BR-ICONS.zip file.​

NOTE: these are NOT flashable zips. the icons are to be applied using shortcut apps, such as bettercut.​

more fulfilled requests are going to be released over the next few days! thanks for being patient, guys. :)

[myTouch 4G General] stoute:
Even though the phone cones standard with almost every Google application it you can uninstall most of these application. With no root needed to free up space on the internal memory. You can not delete the games that come preliaded though.
[myTouch 4G General] floepie:
Can you clarify your what you're saying? It doesn't make much sense.

Are you claiming you can remove all apps that ship pre-installed except the games?
[myTouch 4G General] pbarnum:
And please be specific to which applications you can permanently delete and what apps you cannot. It would be much appreciated.
[myTouch 4G General] esincho:
I'm sure he's talking about gapps. Since google put there apps on the market for easy updating. no way tmo gone make it easy to remove there bloat ware
[myTouch 4G General] ovm:
TitaniumBackup freeze

You can use TitaniumBackup donate version's freeze function for those apps you want to disable and unlist such as amazonmp3.
[myTouch 4G General] floepie:
How's that going to work if/when you reboot?
[myTouch 4G General] vikramdhani:
You need to have the root access to completely remove them else you will not be able to remove them completely.
[myTouch 4G General] floepie:
Say that again?

The way I understand it is that with no real root access and therefore no real write access (and therefore delete access) to /system, you cannot delete apps off of the system partition, as they will reappear after reboot. Freezing apps by Titanium simply removes them from some sort of app database so they don't appear in the app drawer and cannot start at any time, although they do remain linked to the market and remain in the data partition so as to be unfrozen at any time.

Correct if wrong. I don't see a way to delete apps at this time, and I'm wondering how the freeze will work after a reboot.
[myTouch 4G General] vikramdhani:
You are correct till we don't have the root access all the methods will be temp and you will see the apps coming back after a reboot. i know it sucks but this is how it is with the phones these days.

the only good thing is that these apps don't bother me because they are not bogging the phone down

[myTouch 4G General] floepie:
That's exactly what TB does when it freezes an app. So, I suppose it works and survives a reboot?
[myTouch 4G General] borodin1:
Yes, it does. I'm a bit old school so I like to do stuff manually (unless it's super complicated of course). The best thing about this method is that you can just disable/enable packages as you please.

One thing to consider is those that did completely remove Google Goggles from their G2 had problems with OTA. Disabling/freezing apps is a way to avoid that.
[myTouch 4G General] floepie:
I suppose this works because the writes go to the data partition?
[myTouch 4G General] borodin1:
100% correct. Eventhough .apk file is stored in /system/app, all the settings and data for the said app are in /data/app and data/dalvik-cache which is in fact rw.
[myTouch 4G General] kamasi36:
I can confirm that removing games or whatever is permanent. Removed demo version of asphalt and peep and some tmobile stuff, it is gone and hasn't come back even after factory reset. Hope this doesn't interfere with update.
[myTouch 4G General] floepie:
Did you do this in Settings? If so, T-Mo decided that they would allow that, so I'm sure that it wouldn't prevent from an OTA upgrade.
[myTouch 4G General] pdxmatts:
The free version of Titanium Back now has the option to delete apps permanently.
[myTouch 4G General] vikramdhani:
does it allow preinstalled apps to be deleted as well ?
[myTouch 4G General] jstep:
Is there a way to reinstall the full versions without it asking to replace a system app?
[myTouch 4G General] OnE ShoT:
If I deleted amazon, and the demos that came with the phone with a temp root using titanium backup will I be able to receive OTA's on the future? Or on order to receive OTA's u need to be completely stock?

[EVO 4G Accessories] Max_Pain:
hey guys.

i have the seidio 3500 battery and i'm been thinking of what to do for protection for the phone. i got a silicone cover through craigslist to cut up the back. and it yeah it fits once i cut the hole and it stays in place, but it's not enough protection. it's too thin.

i want a bulky, rubbery case that will essentially make the phone bounce or at least absorb any shock when it falls. it needs to be soft enough that I can cut out the back. i would prefer it to be clear so the red paint mod shows through. if not at all possible i'd also go with black.

all the brand name cases mentioned here aren't this kind...any suggestions?

i'm probably going to pass by the mall this friday and just try out what i see. but in case i dont find anything that fits OR you have a suggestion that is PERFECT then let me know please!

thanks! :)

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] anshulajain:
Updated to 2.1 in India (Mumbai) on Vodafone on my Mini Pro. I had de-branded earlier using the -0199 CDF to th UK firmware. Thanks to the other threads, I got the build.prop changed (using Root Explorer) to the Nordic one and it upgraded seamlessly to 2.1 :) At the end, I had a different keyboard layout, but it was easily changed (thanks to the keyboard thread and the root exploit) and now I'm a happy camper using 2.1.

First impressions- smooth and fluid. No lag at all as compared to 1.6. The icons and dark theme enhance the fonts making them easier to read. Downloaded a couple of apps- Angry Birds, XDA app, Cnet, Techcrunch, HuffPost etc.

hey guys.

i come from a photography background. classical training (dark room, color and bw), plus many years with very expensive canon dslr equipment. point being i have a penchant for photography and a good idea for image quality.

i wasn't expecting the quality of my G11 from this phone but i was definitely expecting better than what i am getting. pictures at night or in restaurants come out horribly overblown. most places pictures come out blurry and/or very soft focused.

i've seen posts blaming it on the camera software (sense). can the software really be crippling the hardware that much? is there an alternative camera software or a fix to the existing software?

has anyone successfully ported the CM6 camera over to sense?

how are you all getting alone with your "8MP" camera?:confused:

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Max_Pain:

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xHausx:
If you're using the older stock ROM you can flash it over top of the one you have and only wipe the dalvik & cache, that way you keep everything as is. If not you should be able to just copy the camera stuff. There's more to it then just the .apk file though, someone posted a list of changed files and I believe it showed some of the camera files in the system/lib folder changed also.

yeah but it's a phone that bragged about being able to capture bleeding colors thanks to its 8mp camera. if i'm getting the same image quality as my samsung code was getting me, it's dissappointing:mad:

the image quality problems we're experiencing i think are due to software limitations. hence why pictures supposedly come out better on CM6...

Hi all btw, I've read a lot on here but never posted!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mitch Matrixx:
@ Max Pain:

I completely agree with your assessment on the poor quality of the camera, as do many others who bought the whole "HD Cam" nonsense that HTC sold us.

To be fair, yes, this is a phone... But, the marketing (go figure) for the Evo hyped up the camera abilities as HD, 720p video. This phone does neither well. While they have made improvements in the coding since the release, this camera struggles immensely with jitter, poor low light capture (in which most cases the flash seems to wash everything out), and horrible audio quality during video.

Lastly the compression used is awful, and here's why I don't care how many megapixels the silly sensor captures, at the end of the day compression rules all.

95% of my pictures come out grainy and crappy, particularly while using the digital zoom. The software just cannot cope.

I started a thread about this very issue a couple months back, unfortunately the devs don't seem to view this as a task worth undertaking, and after the little amount of research and specs I've seen this may be because the cam sensor used sucks as badly as the software controlling it. It just doesn't do low light well at all. I still believe there's hope if someone with the programming stones who also shares a love for good photography steps up to the challenge.

Otherwise, we probably won't have a good camera until the Evo 2.

HA.

Anyone interested in seeing this topic gain momentum can go here:http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=782211

And just to prove I don't think the hardware is to blame check this out, this camera can shine under the right conditions. This photo is fully stock, not retouched in any way, and was taken using one of the various sense roms floating around mid summer. If we could get the low light shots, and video on par with this, I think we'd be in good shape.

The second photo is in the dark but shooting a bright frame, up close...

I don't think they are bad at all, they just rarely turn out like this.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nabbed:
I noticed that it takes 5-10 times to manually focus before taking a shot to get a sharp looking picture.

looks beautiful and can be placed any where i guess

I have also figured something out which was probably known to most anyway, if you press your finger on any widget clock just wait till the delete trash can pops up and you can drag and drop any clock anywhere on the homescreen.
