Rick, I WANT to beta test your ROM!!

Name: starkillers

Hardware: 0003

Purchase date: launch day owner

Thank you kind sir!
[EVO 4G Android Development] ricsim78:
Okay, got all my best testers.

Last is Starkillers.

The most important thing is paying attention to battery life.

Please try not to theme it if you are a beta tester. No juice defender, SetCPU, etc.

Test it for a few days then report back to me about battery life and report any problems you encounter.
[EVO 4G Android Development] juancaperez2000:
question: when you gonna PM link and how we gonna report by here or PM to you
[EVO 4G Android Development] Jbcarrera:
all in good time my friend he stated in a post right after i asked to beta test that he would send the link in a pm later tonight or tomorrow as for the reporting idk he may give us more instructions in the pm or he may just have us post it here
[EVO 4G Android Development] juancaperez2000:
thanks i will be waiting
[EVO 4G Android Development] starkillers:
Sweet, looking forward to it and await further instructions as to reporting back to you... Could we flash a simple battery percentage to replace the battery icon?
[EVO 4G Android Development] oza_crazy:
Pardon me if i 'm asking such a noob question here...

i'm intend to Flash your ROM :)

but, sadly... i have an Evo with build number 3.30 which as far as i Know, there is still no ROOTING Procedure that works for this new build Evo.

I've just bought this Evo Yesterday.

So.. Can i just Flashing This Rom (in condition my Evo 3.30 build Stock ROM with HBOOT 2.02 UNROOTED) ???

anyone can help me?

You might want to look here.

[ROOT][GUIDE] HBoot 2.02 S-OFF - Like a Boss Edition! - Updated 11/20/10

No, you must be rooted w/ S-OFF in order to flash a ROM and ideally use one that's compatible to your hardware version.
[EVO 4G Android Development] seezar:
You have to be rooted to install a ROM
[EVO 4G Android Development] seezar:
Will do. Looking forward to trying it out.
[EVO 4G Android Development] iamkip:
what would it take to add the percentage to the battery bar?
[EVO 4G Android Development] catseyenu:
Read the first post under Theme options?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Laurido92:
Loving this ROM. Running 2.5 with Lowriders 2.4.2 Azrael and it's kicking a$$!! Keep up the great work. Looking forward to the X version.
[EVO 4G Android Development] iamkip:
i said BAR as in not circle....

i said BAR as in not circle.... way to be an ass.

plus i just want to add percentage to battery bar not all the other things.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ricsim78:
Hey, he was trying to help you!

This isn't a video game forum, please don't talk to people like that. He was trying to help you. :(
[EVO 4G Android Development] iamkip:
forget it.. i went back to previous rom... i also find it interesting how i had less installed and less free space with this rom.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ricsim78:
Not possible. They are the same ROM, same tweaks. Not to mention how much free space you need anyway?

If you used a King Kernel, the amount of memory goes down. If not, no idea but both ROMS have 403 MB free after a full install. The same = the same.
[EVO 4G Android Development] starkillers:
in the themes section there is a post that has several flashable battery with percent icon zip files. But be aware if you use custom themes on your phone it may break functionality of that theme.
[EVO 4G Android Development] nivron:
Are you using Amon Ra or Clockwork Mod recovery?

After you wipe, you will need to do "Install zip file from sdcard" on Amon Ra or something similarly worded from Clockwork Mod.

You don't need to rename the zip file to flash it and flashing should be done in recovery - not the bootloader.
[EVO 4G Android Development] bluephi1914:
i think im using RA

"ra-supersonic-v2.3 - haus mod"

ok i think i got it. when rooting you have to rename the file i guess. not when you are switching between different roms.

i flashed from zip (using recovery), selected the zip file (didnt bother to change the name back) and its seems to be working ok. install took about 2 min. restarted and its up and running.

man, i hate being a noob

THANKS "nivron"
[EVO 4G Android Development] jstalford:
Yeah, you flash ROMs in recovery, not as an update script in bootloader.

This will help you:

http://noobgui.de/wiki/index.php?title=Main_Page
[EVO 4G Android Development] nivron:
No worries, we were all there once. :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] Wifflepig:
Why is it - when I try flashing this through recovery and CWM 3.0.0.5 -- I get an error saying, "Amend scripting (update-script) is no longer supported." Then tells me that it was removed in Android 1.5, and to please switch to Edify scripting.

Also, I have one single nand backup - the one i did right after rooting - and I like it that way - fresh from the start. when I rooted, it put CWM on it (Using Forever one click).

If I flip over to Amon-RA - which someone is surely going to tell me to do - can I still restore my backup that was done with CWM, using Amon-RA?
[EVO 4G Android Development] clavoie26:
No AR will not restore CWM backups you will have to make a new backup with RA but the good news is you longer get the error with RA
[EVO 4G Android Development] Wifflepig:
I did some digging around and found out why - the whole update/updater business.

I restored to my original nand backup, then did a factory reset (as my original still had some junky pre-root apps), and did a CWM backup for that - so now I have a halfway decent "factory" w/ root backup.

Now I'll use ROM Manager (paid) and flash AmonRA, then make an AmonRA backup - that should give me an AmonRA restorepoint near factory as well. Then try this ROM. This is my first venture into *anything* past the Unrevoked root - so eh, was sorta spooked when I got that message to begin with :-)

Of course, I could just flash CWM down and then flash this rom, but ROM manager doesn't show me a 2.5x CWM version, they're all 3.0.0x's. Meh.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Wifflepig:
Well, flashed it - and it worked fine - love everything about it - except the wallpapers and ringtones. Being 40+ years old, these are not right up my alley. :-) Sure wish the old ringtones were left in.

I suppose I could factory reset, copy my stock ringtones, then reflash this. The only other thing I wish it had was the Hulu hack that seems to be in MikFroyo - AND that you got rid of all the Sprint crap - but I love its responsiveness, and so far everything seems to be working just fine!
[EVO 4G Android Development] ElAguila:
For a sense based rom I always come back to this one. This has the most space available after installation. It has about as much space as most cm based roms.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Wifflepig:
OK, I am really loving this ROM - it's fast, it's hanging on to battery life very nicely, and everything works - simply everything. Because I'm older than the hills - and got used to the stock HTC/Evo ring-tones and wallpaper -- I'd really like to get those back in there.

I know *where* they go - but I really don't feel like flashing back to stock, copying the wallpapers and ringtones, then flashing back to Azrael and going through all my tweaks again.

So - on the offchance - does anyone have a link to where I might find the factory ringtones and wallpapers for my Evo 4G? Pretty please?
[EVO 4G Android Development] BeerMit:
So I tried Netarchy and was loving it. One minor annoyance however, WiFi tether completely stopped working. It worked before in both kernels, now I just get that stupid error code 67. :-/ You have this problem too?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Wifflepig:
Outside of rooting my stock Evo 4G four weeks ago, and now flashing a rom for the first time today (this one) - I haven't done anything else - so I'm running the stock kernel (all my images seem to be the latest, whenever I do comparisons).

I tested the WiFi Tether that came with this bundle and it's working as it should be. I connected both an iTouch and my Windows7 laptop (and my nook, even) to it - and they all connected fine.
[EVO 4G Android Development] coiledwire:
Ok, here's another way to get these instead of flashing:

Search for and download sprint-lovers rom. Unpack the zip file, get the wallpapers and ringtones you wanted, and copy them to your azreal setup.

Sent on the go, from my evo.
[EVO 4G Android Development] coiledwire:
The problem with some kernels is that they omit or erase a file needed to tether. The way around it is to d/l and use a tether app with this file built-in.

I'm sorry I don't have a link available at the moment, but do a search for wireless tether that was modified by vaelek. He actually built this file into the apk, so you don't have to worry about breaking it again. Once you find this app, uninstall the one you currently have and install the new one. That should fix the tether problem.

One more word of caution; after installing this special tether app, don't update it through the market.

Good luck!

Sent on the go, from my evo.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Wifflepig:
What a great idea, thanks. I'll go do that while I mutter to myself, "self? you're herp derp."
[EVO 4G Android Development] Wifflepig:
Just a follow-up:

The copy from Sprint Lovers worked just fine. Except with the wallpapers, when I used Root Explorer and multi-select copied them from /sdcard/downloads (where i staged them) into the /system/customize/resource directory - the Wallpaper > HTC Wallpapers wasn't picking them up. Turns out I had to give each file User:Read permissions first, then the wallpaper picker was able to read them in.

Just FYI.
[EVO 4G Android Development] coiledwire:
@ wifflepig. Cool, glad you were able to spare yourself from flashing to stock. Good call to check the permissions of the wallpaper.

Sent on the go, from my evo.
[EVO 4G Android Development] BeerMit:
Isn't it net filtering or something like that which a Rom needs to support tether? Seems to me like everyone Ive tried where tether worked had Netfilter enabled.
[EVO 4G Android Development] coiledwire:
Sorry, I don't know about net filtering in regards to tethering.

The tether hack needs a .ko file. Some kernels disrupt this file (your experience with netarchy versus the included stock kernel). This modded tether vaelek created has this .ko tweak actually folded into the apk. The end result is a working tether regardless of any kernel.

My apologies if you are referring to something else.

Sent on the go, from my evo.
[EVO 4G Android Development] BeerMit:
Oh no need for an apology, I'd heard of the net filtering before and I thought it had something to do with it, so I took a wild guess. I'll mess around with this, try the vaelpak solution.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Abracastabya:
Totally waiting for Rick to update to Gingerbread! Gonna be sick!

Azrael X 4.0
[EVO 4G Android Development] bluephi1914:
I love this Azrael 4.0 ROM, but was wondering if it was possible to add the drop down menu that has flashlight , gps, 4g, Bluetooth and speaker like in the "Sprint lovers

ROM" is this a theme or something in the programming ?

I'm not comparing roms just asking. See pic below.

[/URL]
[EVO 4G Android Development] lovethyEVO:
Any kernel that is not netfilter enabled (such as htc stocks) can not tether without the tun.ko file.

Any kernel that is netfilter enabled (netarchys or the one I compiled myself) can use the wireless tether app from the market without the tun.ko file.

I am actually tethering my evo now to my laptop with the market tether app and I do not have/need tun.ko on my evo.

libnativetask.so can also interfere with kernels that need tun.ko just to tether which is why I just compile the kernels I use myself.
[EVO 4G Android Development] DaddieDiesel:
it can be added using some of the themes out there but does change the framework that

Ric built in to the rom changing it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] bluephi1914:
Ok, id rather keep this rom, I really dont wanna change framework. Thanks deisel.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Wifflepig:
It doesn't change the "framework". :rolleyes: What's a "framework" anyhow? If you come back with "all the optimizations Rick did" - then every app you ever run dings a "framework". :-/

Bluephi1914 - There's Widgetsoid - a free app you can find in the Market - that will do this for you. I think Beautiful Widgets does it too. Just go grab an app from the market that'll do that for you (add power control icons to your notification bar), like Widgetsoid. Spend some time getting familiar with it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Jbcarrera:
Um Wiffle pig yes it does as most of the themes are based around different roms. Like Slayer69's Cyan is based on Mikfroyo so flashing that Theme changes the framework to that from Mikfroyo overwriting some of the tweaks that were in the original Rom, maybe not all but definitely some. theming works by taking the frame work and coloring and changing things in the framework for a specific rom and then taking those changes and making them a flashable zip that overwrites parts of the framework to theme the rom. thats the best i Can explain it maybe someone can explain it better than I.
[EVO 4G Android Development] DaddieDiesel:
Thanks JB. for explaining it for me. Most of all it changes the transition animations along with some other things which are subtle.You could add just the drop down widgets but then again it changes the framework.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jstalford:
Using Root Explorer, navigate to System/Customize on your phone. Click to change the r/o to r/w at the top. Locate Widget.txt file, long press it and open it in the text editor.

Replace the text of the ones you don't want with any of these (make sure the text is exact):

toggleAirplane

toggleAutoRotate

toggleBluetooth

toggleBrightness

toggleFlashlight

toggleGPS

toggleLockScreen

toggleMobileData

toggleScreenTimeout

toggleSleepMode

toggleSound

toggleSync

toggleWifi

toggleWimax

Once you have the ones you want, save and close, the reboot. More info here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=9885714

This is of course only if you want to change the functions of the widgets, changing the look does require a theme that will possibly change something you don't want it to unless it was made for the ROM.
[EVO 4G Android Development] coiledwire:
I think the question is what would happen if this pcw mod was flashed on this rom, not how to change the widgets. Good info though.

By flashing this Notification Power Widget mod from JsChiSurf's thread, you will have services.jar and framework-res.apk replaced. Visually, you will lose all of Ric's themed notification icons (including battery icon), notification pull down appearance, among others. I don't think you will notice anything from services.jar visually.

For stability and performance, I don't know if a difference would be noticeable. However, keep in mind that this is a hack ported from cynogenmod. So its feasible that there is a slight loss of both of these metrics. But JsChiSurf has updated this mod several times now and got most of the bugs out, and the added benefits outweigh the cons IMO.

One could always make a nand backup and try flashing this mod and see what happens. That backup will be there if necessary to revert.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Wifflepig:
I wasn't talking themes, there, cowboy. These are apps / widgets you download from the Market and it puts the power controls in the notification drop down.

Where did you get themes from *anything* I said in my previous post? The guy asking the question just wants the power control toggles in his drop-down.

Not calling you a liar but I my self haven't seen such an app but if it adds to the basic rom then yes it does change the framework anything added to the taskbar will do that

[EVO 4G Android Development] jstalford:
Ohhhh, does Azrael not have the notification widgets? I guess that shows how long it's been since I used this ROM. It was the first I used after rooting though :D. Always treated me well.

This was one of the first roms I ever flashed. Am looking forward to it's latest update.......sitting on the edge of my seat.:D
[EVO 4G Android Development] socialderelict:
Can't wait ric, havent flashed any gb leaks cuz i was waiting for something from the man himself.
[EVO 4G Android Development] R32_Rocky:
There is so much to decide on with those GB leaks too! Misfit went the safe route and kept the older Sense on his, so has 4G, and a great colorful taskbar. Mik went the full Sense 2.1 route, no 4G, but has all the new Sense goodies, but is more based on the Z ports. I will say, again, once you tried a Z port or the new Sense, it is hard to go back to the old Sense Roms. There are just too many things that you will miss! One example, the new Sense e-mail. In a few clicks, you can mark all mail as read, or unread. Something handy if you flash a lot (those who do, know what I mean in regards to the unread count).

So Rick has a lot to think about for his next creation.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Smidgers:
Azrael is by far the best froyo rom.. Recently changed to decks gb rom and loving it so far.. Not as refined, but fast and battery life is superb.. Looking forward to what ric cooks up next though!
[EVO 4G Android Development] igotroot:
So far I'm loving Vaelpak
[EVO 4G Android Development] iamsavedme30:
Been using CM7 for a minute, now using MIUI and I like it, but nothing and I mean nothing compares to this ROM.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Smidgers:
Cm7 was different, but not anything special.. Decks is cm7, but better lol..

Miui is great, but no 4g is a deal breaker for me..

Finally decided to try Azreal, so far so good, totally missed the pcw notification bar...I took the plunge and grabbed the pcw mod from Jschisurf...It works nicely I feel at home.

[EVO 4G Android Development] LouRock:
I really like this ROM, nice work! Is there anyway I can change the titlebar background to match your rosie transparency?

Thx..
[EVO 4G Android Development] DaddieDiesel:
Ric has not posted that option but you can go ahead and try some of the themes out there to get you that effect. Just remember that it will change the framework and change some of the effects Ric put into the rom.
[EVO 4G Android Development] coiledwire:
1 other option is to look for a transparent taskbar metamorph. Metamorphs is an app that allows specific, individual modifications to be made to the system without altering anything else.

I tend to avoid these mods, but that's me. Do a search on xda for more details regarding metamorphs and mods. Just providing another option for you alchem!st.
