[EVO 4G General] PGRtoo:
Why would it be better for the battery? They may be partial charge-discharge cycles but they're cycles nonetheless and the Lithium Polymer cell chemistry is only capable of so many of 'em before it starts to degrade. Short cycles are easier on it than full cycles, but they all take a toll.

I currently have something like 40 LiPo packs that range from dinky little 35mAh single-cell micro batteries to a couple of 10S (37V) 5000mAh packs. I use them in my R/C planes and helicopters, communications gear, and electronics projects and I've used up and disposed of many times that over the years. I even had to build my own packs and chargers when I first started using them because the cells were experimental and there wasn't anything commercially available yet.

And I survived all that without having a single LiPo fire (that I didn't deliberately trigger) and I attribute that to the fact that I've been rabid about learning everything I can about the technology and the use and care of the batteries.

And I'm unaware of any benefit that can be gained from unnecessarily cycling LiPo batteries regardless of how small the cycles are.

[EVO 4G General] PGRtoo:
My predominant theory is that HTC has erred on the side of caution on the advice of their legal department. LiPo cells can easily become little firebombs if they're mistreated and the overwhelming majority of "events" occur during a charge cycle. Search YouTube for lipo fire and you'll find pages and pages of examples, but beware:

You may not want to carry yer phone in yer pocket right next to yer cojones anymore after you do. ;)

Having the wall battery charger solves this issue. The wall charger will charge the battery to full capacity.

It also allows me to test battery life on roms/kernels as accurately as possible. Only time I connect the phone to USB is when I need to move files.
[EVO 4G General] PGRtoo:
When you say wall charger, do you mean one that you have to remove the battery from the phone and insert it in the charger?

[EVO 4G General] potna:
Just wanted to say that there have been many discussions on this here at xda, I guess most of us just deal with it.

What I do is charge externaly with a cheap Chinese charger that Came with two batteries that work great.

Every since I made this move I haven't looked back. My battery life is great now, 24 plus hrs per charge. Sometimes I go close to 40 hrs, and I use Bluetooth, have GPS and WiFi ways on. In fact I don't cut any corners, no under clocking either.
[EVO 4G General] Samzebian:
Evo uses lithium ion

not lipo.

Check your battery.
[EVO 4G General] evohack99:
Lithium ion and lithium polymer are very close in characteristics and use, there for talking about one is like talking about the out other.you know something I found interesting, was while running three g hotspot off my phone with two laptops and an ipod touch using my net, my phone plugged in would lose charge, so I was actually pulling more battery than I could charge it back with .

Sent from my netarchy_toast, froyo beast of a machine evo!
[EVO 4G General] magicriggs:
Actually for the past few days I have been letting the battery fully drain. My phone during mid day will shut off, then I power it back on and let it work for a couple seconds and it shuts off again. Then I charge it. Power it on while on the charger, and as soon as the light turns green I unplug and I have a full charge that says 100. My observation when I was on myn rom and it had the battery indicator it would shut off around 7. Now after doing this it goes all the way to 0. I feel as tho doing this fully calibrates the battery with the device.

Tried this yesterday and got a boot loop.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] mrvirginia:
this is the first boot loop i've heard of. did you wipe and all that good stuff?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] jblazea50:
installed the final version over the latest nightly without any issues

great job
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] mrvirginia:
thanks man. just giving back to the community ;)
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] fgarcia10:
thanks I'm loving this theme.

The letters on the notification bar are black, how can I change them to white?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] mrvirginia:
menu, settings, CM settings, user interface, notification colors
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] fgarcia10:
Thanks! That was easy.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Brutus2TheMax:
Are these the updated PNG's? Over in the Nexus forums, their Galaxy metamorphs have been updated with new PNG images with more color. Ported it to my CM6.1 and they look amazing!
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Jetdr:
Very nice I really like this. I hope you keep this up to date. Flashed over the latest Nightly 153 and all seems to be working GREAT.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] mrvirginia:
this might be the only one i do for a release candidate. this particular ROM version won't load past the splash screen on a reboot often. sometimes it will if i wipe cache/dalvik-cache and sometimes it won't and i'll just have to pull the battery again. if another RC doesn't release soon, i'm going back to 6.0.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] tomyboombotz:
Someone post screenshots

sent from evo baked 1.9
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] mrvirginia:
if you direct me to that thread, i can get to work on porting some of that stuff to this theme for maybe when the CM is a final release instead of release candidate.

screen shots can be found in the original thread. lockscreen clock is stock font, but that's how it's always been for me since the first theme was made for 6.0

also, for those of you flashing this over Nightlies, please understand that if there are bug fixes to apks in the CM Nightly ROMs, when you flash this theme, it overwrites those apks.

i've been on 6.1 and Nightly builds 154/155 and haven't noticed any major changes, though.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] H-Man 38:
got it to work just fine,did a wipe and ad the gaps!! i love it
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] mrvirginia:
aweomse. though, you shouldn't need to flash gapps...
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] mrvirginia:
so i managed to find the GalaxyS theme over in the NexusOne forums. it can be seen here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=709946

would you guys prefer i keep this theme as close to the original one or would you like most of the images updated to what's in the above thread? if i get too many mixed answers, i may just make a seperate one
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] jblazea50:
like the way you have this one; it's fine and i have no complaints
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] fgarcia10:
I like yours better too.

Downloading now...

Question...are the widgets skinned? The stock Android widgets are so ugly. :eek:
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] mrvirginia:
thanks guys. i'll leave it be then.

some are, like the music widget.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] AvatarOfFrost:
Installed this over the latest nightly (159) freshly wiped and got bootloops. Twice!:(
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] mrvirginia:
sorry to hear that. i won't be updating for Nightly releases unless by chance someone asks and i happen to be on that Nightly. right now i'm still running 158 and have a perfect build of this theme. i just don't feel like moving everything again to go to 159. when and if a RC2 releases, i will update it then. i'm only concentrating on RC's and final CM ROMs.

by the end of this week there should be another RC or a final CM build.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] bhuggans:
just flashed this bad boy. the dock didnt change. did i do something wrong? or is it using the stock froyo?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] mrvirginia:
stock froyo. you should be flashing this over a CM ROM... which is stock froyo. no sense
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] AvatarOfFrost:
So I flashed this over nightly 155 and it works great. Thanks for your hard work. I've added transition animations and looks very nice.

Question....is there anyway to get a different color for the progress bar ( I.e. browser progress bar), other than the yellow stock android? Maybe a nice red would work good.

Also, how do I change the Messaging and Market Icons? I've looked inside the framework-res file but could not find it.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] barry.bishop72:
messaging notifications

nice theme thanks for your hard work! After I flashed the theme I started getting double notifications for text's. I use handcent, and my notifications are turned off on the stock messaging. I get the handcent and the stock white envelope when I receive a text. any thoughts? thanks!
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] mrvirginia:
transition animations? can you explain further?

with a quick look into the browser.apk, i didn't see an image for the color of the loading bar which means it's probably an xml thing and i currently don't have experience with xml. actually, i just don't know how to open them.

to change the mssg icon, it's in mms.apk

i'm not sure where the market icon is. i've looked and looked for it myself but can't seem to find it. granted, i haven't gone through every apk so it's in there somewhere. please let me know if you find it.

i would reflash if you're sure you've disabled the stock notification.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] fixxxer2008:
any chance we can get the epic themed dialer for a sense rom/htc dialer?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] mrvirginia:
i can look into it. the dialer is another thing i haven't been able to pinpoint regarding location of the files. and the layout xml files would prob need to be edited. i haven't been on a Sense ROM in quite some time. i forget what it even looks like haha
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] fixxxer2008:
if you could make it that would be awesome. i tried myself today and failed! :(
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] nyflyguy:
This theme is exactly what I was looking for, but unfortunately it didn't work for me. I think it might be because the CM rom I am using is running on the G2, and Cyanogen hasn't released an official rom for my device yet. It was worth the try though :)
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] fixxxer2008:
ill donate $$ for a htc/sense dialer themed like the epic. :D
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] AvatarOfFrost:
You can add custom transition animation to your theme very easy and it makes for good eye candy.

Check out this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=814072&highlight=transition
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] mrvirginia:
let me know when one does drop and i'll consider porting it for the G2 if there is demand.

when you were trying to mess with the dialer yourself, what were you trying to edit?

edit: nvm, just found everything i need to do this. which specific ROM are you running?

ohhh okay this is what i thought you were referring to but wasn't sure. i actually prefer the animations that come with LauncherPro :)

also, RC2 should be out by the end of this week. next week at the latest...
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] mrvirginia:
finally found the market icon. not sure why i didn't find it sooner since it's fairly obvious. the market icon is in the vending.apk
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] bhuggans:
i did flash it over cm6. im just wondering if its supposed to come with the stock dock? or a themed touchwiz dock? great work by the way!
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] mrvirginia:
okay. sorry i missed this last night. i'll look into it. if you could, post a direct link to the thread containing the ROM, because i'll be needing it. thanks.

no touchwiz dock. you would actually need the TouchWiz.apk or whatever to do that and i don't believe it's possible on our device since so many things are different.

this epic dialer is awesome! can we get a port of it for the sense dialer? :eek::D
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] mrvirginia:
please send any donations to mrcharlesiv

i'll start on this tonight

that dialer has 2 major bugs and is def more than just a simple reskin. i'd have to talk to the dev and find out which other files needed to be changed in order to re-map some of the buttons and their functionality. would take a little bit longer.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] b0ricua:
I just flashed this theme and wiped cache & dalvik prior on an unthemed CM6.1.

I was getting force closes when trying to open up Gmail. Anyone else getting this?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] b0ricua:
Which is it exactly in that menu to change letters to white? I tried changing all of the colors to white in that menu and still had black letters.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] SchmediumTux:

Just a note.. If you get stuck on the splash screen, wipe cache and it should boot right up! Great work!!
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] mrvirginia:
the clock:

menu, settings, cm settings, ui, status bar, clock color

date:

notification colors:

(under status bar notifications, everything is set to white except clear notifications label color) that's the setup i like.

*you may need to reboot for the changes to take effect

if this doesn't work then something else is wrong
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] mrvirginia:
try clearing the data for gmail. if that doesn't work, re-wipe and re-flash

sorry for the double post, guys.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] fixxxer2008:
any word on the status of that epic sense dialer? :D
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] mrvirginia:
getting it done tonight now that i know which ROM you're running. i'm not sure if this is gonna work though so you get to be the guinea pig :p

edit: actually working on it now so should be done within the next hour
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] fixxxer2008:
cool thanks, i have a nadroid backup ready.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] mrvirginia:
good, because i highly recommend it! lol

took me a second to locate where the dialer was in that ROM because there's no contacts apk but an HTCcontacts apk, and they weren't in there either. part of the framework with this one.

i have no idea if this is going to work or not. if it doesn't, i need to know exactly what happened, what you saw on the screen of your device, etc. that will help me pinpoint the problem and not just give up ;)

also, i just replaced everything in that apk from the GalaxyS theme so some things may look strange. if that's the case, take a screen shot of your device pointing out what looks weird so i can fix it.

crossing my fingers

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] fixxxer2008:
ill be testing in a few, thanks.

if this works is there any way you can zip up all the modded files you put in the framework for just the dialer so i can just add them to my existing framework.apk? the reason i ask is i want to use this dialer but maintain my current theme i have.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] fixxxer2008:
just flashed it and it did not change my dialer at all. :(

isn't the dialer png's in htc.resources.apk?

EDIT: just checked and the dialer png's are in the resources.apk. can you do me a favor and just send me all the dialer png's you used and ill try to mod this myself? i don't expect you to take anymore of your time with my request.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] mrvirginia:
yeah sure. unfortunately i couldn't test that (or rather didn't feel like putting all that on my device), so sorry that didn't work. i'll PM you the files later tonight. i was in no shape to mess with this more last night.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] b0ricua:
Thanks so much! All suggestions worked!!! :)
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] mrvirginia:
hey guys, should have RC2 up by the end of tonight. if you haven't upgraded to RC2 yet, then wait. i'll have a fully galaxy themed CM RC2 for those that don't, as well as the standard flashable theme by itself.

edit: currently uploading
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] mrvirginia:

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] fixxxer2008:
just letting you know that the settings.apk crashes whenever you try to change your brightness settings. alot of the cynogen mods do not stick either with the theme. just a heads up.

any ideas as i love the themed settings menu.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] mrvirginia:
i'm not getting a crash with the settings.apk. which file did you flash, full ROM or just theme? and is anyone else experiencing this?

also, which CM settings are not sticking? this is likely a problem with this RC and not the theme, since the theme is just skinning. for example, it was a known issue with the Nightlies that were released after RC1 where the notification power widget wouldn't stay off after reboot.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] mrcharlesiv:
I'm glad you are still keeping this theme up to date! Keep up the good work.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] INebilim:
Flashing this know. will report later.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] fixxxer2008:
im not running the theme or the rom. i just used parts of the theme for my current cm6 setup. i did push the settings.apk and it crashes when i try to change the brightness settings. is there something else i would need to install from the framework to make the themed setting apk work? maybe an xml file? im running cm6.1 not the newest update.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] mrvirginia:
as long as i'm an Android user, i'll be updating this theme for some device :D

awesome

please only post issues when you're flashing any of the files located in this thread, not just one apk for your personal build. i have no idea what the issue could be with this. there are too many variables at play here.

mainly, with each CM update, xml files change, framework, etc etc etc. this is why when i update the theme, i use all of the new files, only bringing over images. you need to take whatever the working settings.apk file is for your build, and pull over the images from the GalaxyS themed settings.apk file. will be guaranteed to work then. that's the only suggestion i have.

request

is there a way you can update the youtube app to the newest one,

i try to updated from the market but i get an download failed to update,

i found this youtube. apk that suppost to match the galaxy s theme.

and im not sure why u dont included this launcher pro galaxy s mod version, instead of the ADW launcher

makes the theme much cleaner and better.

both apks are in the attachment,

i had to flash the launcher pro apk cuz for some reason it wont install directly as a normal apk. (BY THE WAY ITS THE FREE VERSION OF LAUNCHER PRO FROM THE MARKET)

hope u can make the new yotube apk as a flashable to replace the old one
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] mrvirginia:
i don't think most who are posting in here are reading the OP. i am merely updating this theme to work with the newer CM builds, not making changes like putting in a different launcher all together. just like you prefer LauncherPro, some prefer AWD Launcher. i actually prefer LauncherPro like yourself, but i can't change something that's been the norm for so long.

by just updating it to work with newer builds, everyone already knows what to expect and can make their own changes like they've been doing.

everyone has their own preference. it's one of those "if i change something for you, i have to change something for everyone" kinda deals.

regarding the youtube app, that's something i prob should've updated but is that apk for the Evo? and the reason why you're trying to update and it's not working is because the apk wasn't installed through the market, but built within this ROM. there are three ways to update it, though. using something like root explorer you can inject it yourself, you can use ADB to push it, or i can update it in the zip files and you can re-flash it.

i'll make the necessary changes to the files when i get home, though.
