Yes, but you do not realize just how tiny it is, only a few kb. You won't gain anything from removing it at all. It is possible to break things messing with system files.

If it is not broke, don't fix it! I suggest you just leave it be, but it is your choice of course. :D

I understand you want to keep it clean. But that keyboard only takes up memory when it is used. You are not using it, it is out of sight and mind.

Yes it is latin_ime.apk (may not be exact name, but that is it).

Azrael X 3.1 starts life today.

A new ROM to ring in the New Year!

I am going to redo my entire computer now. But then later tonight I will begin working on Azrael X 3.1.

I will, as per usual, have the change log intact on the first post. It will not be a major overhaul, but I always try making it worthwhile to upgrade and this will be no exception :).
[EVO 4G Android Development] Abracastabya:
Excellent! Thanks ric!

Don't hate! Gonkulate!
[EVO 4G Android Development] Abracastabya:
Great news as well! Obviously its your rom and you can do what you want with/to it but I hope you're not planning on including that damn power control widget or adding a transparent notification bar...seriously hate those 2 things. As soon as I find out a rom uses them I'm gone with wind haha...I could understand if there was alternate versions without them...anywhoo just thought I'd share my power control widget/transparent notif bar hate :)

Hey Rick, great rom just one question what is the meaning behind the name of the rom. Just want to know thanks.
[EVO 4G Android Development] slf123:
Request

I hope that you do not mind a request. I am hoping you put Hulu back into the Rom. It was able to get it to work with your current Rom but it was not easy. I have never had a problem with Hulu and Pandora working together and still do not. If you do not want to put it into the main rom can you make it easier to just have it work with one .zip or something?

Thank you for everything you do.

Just wondering, and might be a dumb suggestion, but as some folks turn OFF everything (that makes the EVO stand out over other phones) to conserve battery - did you by accident leave your GPS turned off? Because I have had many "doh!" moments before hehe

Trying this as my first custom rom after rooting my EVO. A heads up to those in the same boat... The WiFi tether hack linked in the first post kept the phone forever in the HTC booting screen. I isolated it via trial and error.

Is it possible top remove apps like NASCAR and blockbuster? I tried it with Ti Backup and chuck norris mode but no joy. The phone just reboots into recovery when I execute the command. When I reboot the apps are still there. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
[EVO 4G Android Development] Jbcarrera:
First flash it separately not at the same time making sure you wipe cache and dalvik. For tb hit the problems button and let it install busybox that will help then remove the apps you don't want

Wipe?

Should I wipe battery stats every time i install a new rom version? Also, is it ok to wipe battery stats while battery is not 100% charged or will this screw up the actual value the phone sees and displays while discharging?
[EVO 4G Android Development] 1975jamie:
What i do when installing a new rom is. I charge the phone to 100%. I wipe data,cache, D cache,battery life. I install new rom and let battery run all the way down. then charge the phone back to 100%. i have no problem with battery life. I hope this helps.

[EVO 4G Android Development] dirkyd3rk:
only a buck well I think you went with a diff one cause this one is 3 bucks now but they all do the same. and when you remove certain apps of course it cleans space. also try using a cache cleaner like (cache cleaner NG) it frees up at least 25mb a day for me.

Hey ricsim78 is there anything in the framework-res.apk of this ROM that is preventing the Hex Edit Method for Changing Sprint banner text on Lockscreens OR Notification Menu by JsChiSurf from working?

New wireless tether update..

I was on the market and noticed that the wireless tether app has an.update...anyone try it yet....I ask, because when I had Azrael 2.1, I upgraded the app to a newer build and it didn't work. I had to flash a nandroid.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mylasthope:
Am I the only one who notices lag when 4g is turned on? =(
[EVO 4G Android Development] neemypeemy:
I just installed the rom today..

Everything great except the 4G radio is on, but when I click on it is shows disconnected. Scans and shows nothing.

I'm in a Sprint 4G area, so not sure what I need to do to get it to work..
[EVO 4G Android Development] seezar:
I saw that too, i had to delete the current wireless tether with titanium backup for the new one to install. Havent had a chance to test the update.

In fact I'll do that now and report back....
[EVO 4G Android Development] dirkyd3rk:
Anyone else getting this pop up that says something about DRM license; I keep getting it and all I'm doing is watching my converted vids in vplayer. I saw this the first day I installed this Rom it doesn't bother me much. When I do pull down the bar to click it I get nothing .
[EVO 4G Android Development] dirkyd3rk:
Thats odd maybe you should do a reboot, my 4g is working just fine. My area its ok once i get in the city of houston but on the outside of the city my 4g drops back and forth.

Also for the people/person who asked, i updated the wifi tether to the latest version and i can CONFIRM that it works just fine. I browsed a few pages here and there best speeds i achieved were about 2mbs though because of my location. I guess thts good enough though if my home internet randomly stopped working which I doubt.

My last few questions that I wanted to ask was in the OP theres a zip that says sprint hotspot hack. How does this work? I know its a workaroud but if i use the hack will i get charged by sprint or is it best to just stick with wifi tether and not bother with the hotspot hack?
[EVO 4G Android Development] mwielgosz:
I can also confirm the new wireless tether works fine. Tested with 4g

[EVO 4G Android Development] fonseca898:
I installed the new version that was on google code today, I'm assuming it's the same as in the market. But I had to delete the installed version via TB before I could get it working correctly. Now tethered through my laptop, working fine. I consider it an improvement, because the version that was on the rom caused my phone to show up as a funky network type on every pc I used it with.

Only downside to the new version is that there is now no choice for security type. It can only be enabled or disabled. That's a feature I used occasionally.

Edit: I've had several DRM notices. Thought it was just me. I'm also running the SBC 4.2.2 kernel.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jdefran:
Anyone else having trouble with the wireless tether? I uninstalled the one that was in the rom a couple days because it would not connect. Tried this updated version and I'm getting an installation error: "file not signed properly"...any ideas?

I usually leave GPS on, my phone is plugged in 95% of the time when I'm in the truck (tether it a LOT). So yes GPS was on. Left it off most of the day today, just turned back on & no weather updates... Still stuck In Pascoag, RI, while I'm near Atlanta, GA. :confused:

I've tried just about everything short of wiping it, & starting over. If it comes to that, I'll wait for Rick to release V3.1.

Flashing ROMs while driving is tricky business... :rolleyes:

Edit: Ahah!!! Menu>Settings>Applications>Running Applications>HTC weather sync provider & Weather Provider wiped data, rebooted, & now it's not in Pascoag, Ri anymore!!! Although it just says My Location now... Hmmmph... and if I click on the weather portion of the widget it takes me to the clock...
[EVO 4G Android Development] skyfox99:
@ Ric this is probably the most stable ROM I have used on any phone. Everything seems to work and work well. I will be sending you a donation when I can. Also there is a version of netarchy kernel floating around called 132 and the battery is amazing with this ROM (I know that is said a lot, but I am running this on 003 with 6-8 hours of HEAVY usage). I haven't really used my phone today, but I am at 71% and have been off the charger for 12 hours with everything on except for 4G.*UPDATE* phone call came in while I was typing this and am just now finishing typing this post and that phone call was over an hour and my battery only dropped 15%. I think that is damn good. Also with this kernel my battery does not drop from 100% right off the charger, it actually trickle charges!

[EVO 4G Android Development] skyfox99:
Try flashing a different clock after wiping cache. This happened to me too, but when I flashed a different clock and gave it a day, I was able to switch back to my modified clock with success.
[EVO 4G Android Development] skyfox99:
Do you need to do "10 chars" when quoting something that long? Any who, I used to agree because they caused problems and they widgets didn't "talk" to each other, but I an running a mid now with the speedo battery gage and notification drop down with the translucent drop down... And it is done right. The widgets "talk" to each other (meaning if you shut one off, the other widget on the home page coincides with it and vice versa), the drop down bar has a block over the left hand corner so your date and time aren't jumbled and overlapping any notifications looking like crap, and the drop down widgets are of high quality pics, not fuzzy and crappy looking. But I do understand the previous versions made my phone look crappy.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Ezintn:
the quote doesn't count

I just don't like either of those features period

and I like not having a choice (to disable those features) even less

mikfoyo 4.2 has a flashable zip to nuke the power control

that's a good alternative to posting 2 versions

I seem to be having an issue with awake time. Im not sure if its app or kernel related just yet...wondering if there is a solid way to monitor or log when the phone goes into sleep mode and/or what apps are keeping my phone awake. Its not very consistant so its hard to track at this point.

I did a wipe of dalvik and cache when i flashed the new kernels...and since I've updated kernels and roms so many times since the radios were released...I know this wont help.

Any possiblity it has something to do with nv 1.90 (or whatever the latest is)? I didn't downgrade the nv as I saw no posts about the latest causing issues. I downgraded pri to 1.77 because after installing the upgrade, my phone became laggy to the point where I couldn't use it. Once I upgraded Azreal and netarchy to the latest, I tried again, but it was still pretty sluggish.

while running this rom i repeatedly run into issues with the data stopping to work is there anything i can do to fix this?
[EVO 4G Android Development] ChrisM510:
Hello all... Just got my Evo 2 days ago. I am a new convert from the WinMo 6.5 platform. I used custom ROMs over in that world pretty extensively, but as a newbie all over again, I have a learning curve (and quite a bit of reading of threads) ahead of me.

Based on what I have read so far, the Azrael ROM seems like the one I would like to try. I know not everyone will agree with me, but eye candy is important to me (if I don't like looking at it, I will tire of it). I have searched and searched, to no avail, to find some screenshots of this ROM (v3.0). Would anyone in the community be willing to post some screenshots of this ROM to help me choose?

Thanks in advance.

Odd! I was having a major 1:1 wake time and massive battery drain issue after I flashed the new radio/wimax/pri/nv package over in Calk's radio post. The cure someone discovered over there was to just flash the PRI back to 1.77.03, which it appears you have already? Or did you flash those one at a time? Cause that solved the 1:1 wake issue for me (and others). You might want to check all your programs to see if the auto synch or update. That might ne the cause. I know some time ago, Google Talk had to be manually set to not auto logon and then sign off of it. And Facebook also had problems causing wake issues. Just a thought......
[EVO 4G Android Development] R32_Rocky:
Hey, I was like you not long ago! I had a TMO HTC HD2! And I tweaked that a lot as well....SPB Shell, various roms, Cookie Monster tweaks, etc. To be honest with you, I MISS my HD2!!!!!! I loved that phone so much, but hated T-Mobile with a passion. Their signal strength was horrible. The HD2 was the reason I eventually bought the EVO. Tried the new Samsung Galaxy phones, but touch wiz sucks. If I wanted HTC sense, but on another carrier, and with a phone like the HD2, the only choice is the EVO, hands down.

There will be a lot you will need to learn, as rooting is much different than doing a hard spl on a winmo phone so as to be able to flash custom roms on it. Especially as yours being brand new, you undoubtedly have the latest 004 hardware and the newer H-boot. There is now a hack for that I believe, so that is your 1st step to read. Bit if you can get to flash the much older .76 engineering H-boot, all the better for later on, as it allows a whole slew of commands to be used for tweaking.

As for custom roms, you chose the right one here!!!!! Rick, and his roms, are the best there is. And I would suggest, as a fellow winmo owner (so our tastes might be near the same) - you might want to also flash Riptide's theme, and Slayer's add-ons. Your screen will then look close to what I have. If you need any more winmo > Android help, feel free to pm me. Welcome to your new home haha!

You can get that exact minimal one when flashing one of Riptide's older themes. If you see my pic just above yours, his newer themes have a more colorful, and better looking clear rosie than your old one. Plus, the newer one is programmable (R & L buttons only) with the rosie settings app.
