Sorry, personally I haven't tried any. I believe I saw some 4x5, re-mappable rosie mods out there. Some of the sense ROMs I've tried had an app called rosie settings that allowed you select what the left and right buttons go to.

I would probably check the mods for mikfroyo and warm 2.2 first to see if they fit well with Azrael. Mods for the latest version of each of those ROMs should be based on 3.70 release, so its a good start.

Good luck!
[EVO 4G Android Development] Smidgers:
Thanks I'll give the ones from mik a try.

I flashed a 4x5 from myn, and the layout was fine, but the left and right buttons were not functional. Tried to find that rosie settings app as a stand alone app, but no luck. Flashed a mod for the buttons and the layout got messed up..
[EVO 4G Android Development] coiledwire:
Yea, figured it might give you some fits. By staying with this ROM, its going to be trial and error to get the home layout how you want. Keep at it. :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] Smidgers:
Fyi, I got exactly what I want. Found a rosie mod in miks thread that came with the rosie settings from myn lol

So I flashed that, then a 4x5 mod, and was able to change what the buttons linked to.. Thanks for the help!
[EVO 4G Android Development] winkynatedog:
This is way off subject I'm just hoping to get some advice. I have really bad battery life with the last few of Rick's ROMS, so I did a lot of testing, I tried a lot of different kernels, wiped and reinstalled the ROMS, but nothing was working. Then I thought maybe it was because I wiped battery stats when the battery was at 50%. So I ordered new batteries, it is still doing the same thing; so now I am convinced there is something wrong with the phone. I called up sprint and they said sounds like you are right, and since I've only had it since SEP/OCT it is still under warranty. They said take it to the store they have stuff there they can hook it right up and see what the problem is. If it is the phone they will replace it. Now my question is should I un-root the phone? or since I am taking it into a store not sending it back it's not a big deal? Sorry for the long winded story, if someone could let me know what to do I would appreciate it thanks.
[EVO 4G Android Development] coiledwire:
If it was me, I'd unroot it. It would be my luck that the Sprint tech would blame my rooting and void the warranty.

Good luck.

Looks like this rom thread is DEAD
[EVO 4G Android Development] Novarider:
Anyone know what happened to Ric?
[EVO 4G Android Development] coiledwire:
Its a testament to the quality of the ROM when the dev doesn't need to continually be here to provide support.

I just assume Ric is taking a break from this. I'm sure he'll let us know when he's close to a release, or if he is backing out completely. Either way, there's quite a few ROMs out there for us EVO owners if we get bored or need to just flash something. :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] iamsavedme30:
Did he start another thread? This is the longest He's ever been away. Hope he's doing well. I'm cool with Cm7. But I go back to 4.0 when I need a sense fix. 4.0 started to act a little funny on me. Lots of reboots. Couldn't figure out what was wrong.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Jbcarrera:

Your right. Mans gotta do what a mans gotta do. Ric gaves us a great rom. Stable and fast. Of course some are flashaholics....hehe myself being one of them so no slam there. That being said if there are any issues im sure one of the regulars or I will be more than willing to try and help out.

[EVO 4G Android Development] ricsim78:
Not dead, just took a little break :D

Hope everyone is well (especially you Daddie!) and I will be coming out with some updates soon. I am going to totally revamp Azrael X and come out with another custom ROM as well. I have finals now and that is my focus (work before play, always) but I begin work on new ROMS soon.

If I was ever leaving this for good I would let everyone know (unless something happened to me where I could not). I appreciate all the support and good things will be coming soon. I just have been juggling a lot of things right now.

Sorry for confusion, but Azrael X is alive and well and so am I. Until I get a new phone, I am here to stay and will likely become a DEV on whatever new device I have as well.

Thanks for the support everyone, sorry for my absence as well.

I've toyed around the past few weeks with a few different ROMS (destroyer, King's Elite, etc) and I've come back to this one.

Not that there is anything wrong with those other ROMs, but on my 003 EVO, Azrael 4.0 has a combo of polish and battery life that makes it the best choice for me.

Kudos!
[EVO 4G Android Development] travisw0204:
Glad to hear all is well Ric. Good luck on the Finals and I will patiently wait for your next dish. I tried a few Aosp Roms but I ALWAYS come back home to Azrael. It's the most complete Rom I have ever used. Great work once again.
[EVO 4G Android Development] R32_Rocky:
Me too, so glad you are back!

I am currently on Myn's Warm "Z" Rom, and oh what a treat it is! But being a GSM based Rom, and not really meant for an EVO, it has its bad points. Also missing the arrows in the HTC keyboard, but there is a work around that is even better,..... And I have to admit, there are quite a few things it easily get hooked on having, that makes it hard to leave......can you say landscape mode on nearly every screen as one example?

But still, Rick's roms are my #1 favorite, and soon as the new one is out, on it goes ;) Hopefully by then, the CDMA/EVO will have gotten some new love from HTC!
[EVO 4G Android Development] blackte4:
I cant wait..... I need my ROM update fix..... Got me hook and now I have to wait. I will take your finals. Joking..... lol I think this is the longest I ever had a ROM running on my EVO. TP2 it was Silence ROM. I guess I will play Angry Birds till ZOOM wifi tablet comes out on the 27.

I flashed with Myn's 2P2 and I just needed to recharage after half day! Azrael runs out my battery life in 2 days! I don't understand why the Evo Benchers don't include this ROM at all? Azrael 4.0 is the best choice! hand down.. I look forward for next version.. Will it be included sense 2.0?
[EVO 4G Android Development] R32_Rocky:
Whoa! I just seen the news ticker on CNN, and it said AT&T just bought T-Mobile for $39 billion!

Now I wonder, seeing as Sprint is sort of small potatoes, maybe even smaller than T-Mobile, and is a cdma carrier, you think BIG RED (VZW) might seek to buy Sprint to combat BIG BLUE (AT&T)?????
[EVO 4G Android Development] igotroot:
That would probably not happen.... why, because the feds would most likely say it eats up to much competition. I know Sprint is also going LTE, but in this country of cooky politicians, who knows... I prefer Sprint pricing, but now all 4 carriers have talk and surf ability, and the only thing to choose from is price.
[EVO 4G Android Development] :
Keeping off topic, VZW CEO mentioned in an interview that they don't need Sprint and have no intention of buying them. He also stated that VZW would do nothing to try and stop the AT&T/T-mobile buyout.

[EVO 4G Android Development] vanessaem:
I really hope that doesn't happen because I've never been a big fan of Verizon or their service plans. They're not as bad as AT&T but still not that great IMO. Sprint has the best services plans around. Basically you get more for your money compared to the rest. I hear since AT&T is buying T-Mobile, many of the affordable service plans on T-Mobile are going to go out the window. Glad I left T-Mobile years ago. I'm trying to stay as far away from AT&T as possible. They scare me. :rolleyes:

Stay away from Sprint, AT&T!!! You too Verizon!!! :p
[EVO 4G Android Development] winkynatedog:
Ok so I un-rooted my phone so I can take it to sprint so they can run test due to my battery life being horible. They ran the test and said nothing was wrong. The battery life still sucks but I'll try to get it replaced. In the meatime I Used the Universal 2.4 method to re-root my phone, which gave me Hboot 2.10 and Amon Ra's 2.3 Recovery. The phone seems ok now but right after I flashed Azreal 4.0 it was glitchy. I am just wondering if amon ra 1.8 is better and if Hboot 2.10 is good? I Have the 1.8.img on my sd card but when I go to use rom manager to flash it using flash alternate recovery it only shows version 2.2.2. I also tried flashing 1.8 using the terminal emulator w/ no luck. If someone on here thinks I should stay where I'm at with the HBOOT and the recovery I got let me know, or should I go back and use unrevoked? Sorry for being so long winded. Thanks
[EVO 4G Android Development] coiledwire:
I have HBOOT 2.10 and use Amon_Ra 2.3; I don't notice any glitches when flashing Azrael. Perhaps your download was corrupt. I think you should try other means first before downgrading your HBoot and flashing an older version of Ra.

I guess if all else fails, you can re-root and start all over again with UnrEVOked; I used that method and it seems to work good for me.
[EVO 4G Android Development] augoza:
Hey you wouldn't happen to know why, titanium backup backs up the app but when I back up my data for an app, like stupid zombies, everytime I try to play it, it force closes on your Rom. I even uninstalled the apps and try to download them from the market, then I use TB to back up the data. Still fc's. I need my data! Haha I got so far in my games. I'm gonna restore my previous Rom(cm7) and use both TB and another back up app, then reflash yours again and try to restore my apps with the alternative back up app.
[EVO 4G Android Development] winkynatedog:
Thanks for your responce coiledwire. I really think I want to go back and use unrevoked because it's what most people use, I dont know why I used universal root!? My next question would be which unrevoked did you use I see there are a few out there, version 3.2 and version 3.31. Next question is can I just flash the unrevoked over what I have or do I have to go back to stock sprint and start all over? Also in Amon ra's 2.3 what am I wiping, there are way more options then in 1.8? Last question I was just reading the unrevoked 3.31 forum and it said it had the latest clockwork recovery just wondering if anyone heard if his latest is good for wiping dalvik or not. Once again sorry to be long winded!
[EVO 4G Android Development] coiledwire:
Root is root. If you get super-user ability and its says s-off in the bootloader, then you're as rooted as you need to be regardless of the method to get there. But, let me see if I can answer all of your questions.

- I think I used version 3.31. I know I used whatever version given in that website for full permanent root.

- I would start completely over. Flash the latest RUU given by Sprint so it gives you the latest radios and makes you unrooted. Then proceed with unrevoked.

- Wiping with 2.3 is the same as previous versions. For ROMs, wipe data, cache, and dalvik (also sd:ext if you created an ext partition). For mods, themes, or kernels, wipe cache and dalvik. Now if you experience crazy ROM behavior, you can add wiping boot and system along with the above ones when flashing.

- I think clockwork might of fixed their dalvik wiping, but I only use Amon_ra. You can try clockwork, but if you start seeing problems you could switch to Ra.

Good luck!

[EVO 4G Android Development] 4redstars:
It's not the rom. I've had this happen to me when coming from CM 7 to a sense based rom...Flash Azrael, install angry birds from the market and then use TB to restore the data, not the data and the apk.

Or if that doesn't work back up with Mybackup Root and do the same thing as tb, but only restore the data.

That worked for me.

Will it be included Gingerbread 2.3?

Will it be included HTC Sense 2.0?

============

HTC Evo 4G

ROM: Azrael 4.0 since 02/03/01

Kernel: Netarchy 4.3.2 cfs-sbc-nohavs-suv

Build 3.70.651.1, HW 0003, PRI 1.77_003

Best Battery Life I ever had is 2 days 10 hours.

[EVO 4G Android Development] iamsavedme30:
I know he talked about getting a new phone. I will be getting the evo3d soon as it comes out and I pray that he is going to develop roms for that as well.

This is the best sense Rom out there. I came back to this one after being on cm and it is so much faster, stabler and just smoother than any other ROM out there.

It makes my phone feel like I just got it everytime I pick it up.

Can't wait till he finishes this next one.

I agree guys, I'm so stoked for the next release of Azrael

Ricsim! My Evo is hungry for some Gingerbread!

Make it happen dood :-)

But take your time, I want it done right

On a side note, anyone wanna offer up some recommendations on what kernels they've had the best experience with? I stuck with the HTC one for a while before deciding to try something else. Only other one I've tried so far is Kings #11 CFS. I'm somewhat pleased with it, however it does seem rather laggy right after unlocking and during heavy texting.

Thoughts? Comments? Suggestions?

Hi,

I have the 004 hardware version of the evo, and when using Azreal 4.0 with the stock kernel, my battery life was awful. Even with the phone always in standby, the Up Time and the Awake Time would always be the same.

I installed the Netarchy-toastmod-4.3.2-cfs-sbc-havs-more kernel and noticed an immediate improvement. I no longer lose 10% of my battery just on the 10-minute drive from my house to the BART station in the morning, and I don't have to plug the phone into the charger when I get to work to keep it topped off for the trip home.

Good luck, and I can't wait to see what Rick comes up with next.
[EVO 4G Android Development] workingaplan:
Check out nets guide to fix that here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=719763

Taking your PRI & NV back down to 1.77 can help with the issue where your phone won't truly go to sleep (up time/awake time are equal). I too love that kernel you reference, but I was getting the awake time=up time issue regardless of kernel. Going back to 1.77 really helped.

No it wasn't mentioned, just discussed. I don't think it would be a problem either way.

Are you a moderator? And if so, would you mind quoting the rules again, wasn't sure if it was against the rules to speculate.

He has always put out something that has more than satisfied my palate.

Just as I quoted the member above, I wasn't to impressed with the new sense UI speeds, but was sure if Ric decided to put these utilities in his own Rom that they would be nothing short of amazing.
[EVO 4G Android Development] coiledwire:
Look back on my involvement with this thread and you'll see I've done my best to help answer questions other Azrael users were having. That's how I felt I would be able to support Ric and this thread during his time away.

Last month people were saying that this rom was dead and Ric quit being a dev. Now I hear of sense 2.0 and gingerbread. Go ahead and keep speculating if that's how you show support. I'll stay in reality.

[EVO 4G Android Development] R32_Rocky:
While waiting for something new from Rick, I am using that Mik Froyo 4.6, and it is quite nice. Pretty fast too.

But I will say, after trying a "Z" Rom, everything else pales in comparison. Any Z based rom is FFFFFfffffast! And you sure get spoiled with landscape in EVERY screen. At first I was disappointed in no arrow keys on the HTC keyboard, until I found out it has a way better and faster way of maneuvering around a text screen! Hold you finger down for a moment, then a magnified window appears, and then you can drag the cursor anywhere you want quite quickly. Became so intuitive, when going back to an actual EVO Rom, I kept trying to do the same thing, hehe.

So again, once you try a Z Rom, it is very hard to come back to an EVO Rom. Just a shame it has no 4G, and cannot do a simple system or PRL update.
