As for the boot animation. I'm using zone23's Christmas Rom. It has this default Android boot. His thread also shows where it's located (the file to delete) to have this on any Android Rom. Have a look there. No good at posting links, sorry.

All you devs ROCK!

Can't wait for the full working ROM
[EVO 4G Android Development] Product F(RED):
It's normal that it's super slow right? I know there are barely an drivers yet, but I just wanted to make sure because I'm reading posts and seeing people actually using it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] halorin:
Generally that's how they are when made from an sdk. Froyo SDK builds ran like butt, too if I remember correctly.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jobryan26:
I wonder what happened to Inc's version he was working on.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Samzebian:
Yea if someone makes a version that is semi-usable (can make calls, mms, play music and do gps) then I'd be willing to test full time, I like the 2.3 rom but it's too unusable for everyday use (and I know it's not meant for that, only for devs.)

"Use cyanogens kernel not a sense one RT @jdkoreclipse: 9.01 radio required for gingerbread, and possibly a sense kernel."
[EVO 4G Android Development] OdayAllDday:
It was in fact on the G1 AND the mt3g. from 1.5 and 1.6 i'm pretty sure...
[EVO 4G Android Development] yamaford:
I didn't wipe any data just to see what would happen. Wiped caches and flashed it coming from Christmas rom from zone23. To my surprise I still had my live snowflakes wallpaper running. It did seem slow so I wiped data and reflashed. I'm liking what Im seeing so far. The menus seem to have a lot of suttle themeing.
[EVO 4G Android Development] blackroseMD1:
Thanks for the boot screen tip guys. I love that default animation much more than the ones from CM or the DarkFroyo theme.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jm5503:
Has anyone flashed this over cm6 to see what happens???
[EVO 4G Android Development] Product F(RED):
Nothing would happen. You have to wipe data, cache, and dalvik cache. I mean, you'd end up with 2.3 but with random bits of 2.2, which is not ideal.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jm5503:
Lol...thx....
[EVO 4G Android Development] thedudejdog:
I flashed it over whatever setup I had no wipe coming from nightly 192 I think and got fc's on all my apps. but it booted just fine just everything fc'd. maybe if its a fresh install it would work better.
[EVO 4G Android Development] JRECH:
anyone know when we can expect a smooth build of this?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Product F(RED):
So I opened up framework-res.apk and I'm trying to figure out why the hell all of the XML files (layout files) show up as garbled text/black symbols in Notepad++. Are they special XML files?
[EVO 4G Android Development] matt4200:
Try opening them up in a hex editor I personally use HxD
[EVO 4G Android Development] luderbeck1:
They are Hex files. Download HxD then you can open and edit.

http://mh-nexus.de/en/hxd/
[EVO 4G Android Development] Product F(RED):
Any settings I need to change? I can open them, but I still get garbled text aside from the standard header text.

Instead of bugging you guys over and over, I'll tell you what I'm doing. I'm modding a transparent titlebar mod for Myn's ROM to use the Gingerbread vertical battery. The reason I have to edit the XML is because Myn's ROM has 100 images for battery percentages, whereas Gingerbread has far less (5 or 6?). I need to know which XML to edit and how. I believe it's battery_status.xml, right?
[EVO 4G Android Development] AndroidBall:
So can someone tell me exactly what is broken in this rom? Im confused from the replys lol
[EVO 4G Android Development] luderbeck1:
Sorry, that's beyond my knowledge. Using info from threads here I've used HxD to edit my Notification Bar and Lock Screen text very easily. With the Gingerbread SDK just released yesterday I'm sure someone will have an answer soon.
[EVO 4G Android Development] surfologist87:
To everyone talking about the boot animation, Ive had it on my evo before. I dont know how the hell it got there, but i botched something up one time with an update from the net, and everything seemed to work out so i left it alone and didnt have to Nand. Then i got this completely different boot animation. It was this one thats with 2.3

I loaded up 2.3 for a while today, so i know its the exact same one. Id like to put it on again if anyone has it..
[EVO 4G Android Development] blackroseMD1:
What I did, and what was mentioned earlier in the thread, was to go into /system/media with Root Explorer and delete bootanimation.zip. Now I have the 2.3/default bootscreen that's being discussed.

Just wondering if echoside or anyone is working on this tonight? Not that I'm all that worried about it, as I haven't even flashed v4 yet, but it would be nice to hear if progress is being made, especially in regards to the ramdisk, if that is indeed a major issue.
[EVO 4G Android Development] evoandroidevo:
first off yall are doing a good job cant wait for alpha with data (only read half the thread) and second sorry this has nothing to do with this but i have the evo with hboot 2.02 s-off and i cant find a 2.2 that will flash but once yall get this in a public state im going to flash this

You Guys Are Phucking awesome
[EVO 4G Android Development] ilangoadigal:
Can I ask a favor from anyone running this ROM when it starts working? Can you please take a screenshot of http://aljazeera.net and post the screenshot. There's a lot of speculation about whether or not Gingerbread provides full Arabic support.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Hammy2012:
I tried to get the gapps working still a no go
[EVO 4G Android Development] ameadows252:
Amazing

I can't wait to get a fully functional rom of 2.3 on my EVO. Keep up the good work! I love/respect you...too far?

Nope.

You're my hero.

I wish I knew anything about developing. I would love to help out. Unfortunately I can only cheer you on from the sidelines. GO TEAM ANDROID!

SDCard Issue

I have Version 4 running fine but it doesn't detect my SDCard. Maybe I missed a step somewhere? Anyone else with this issue and know how to fix it?

Root Explorer FC's on me. ANDExplorer works fine for browsing device contents but just shows and empty SDCard.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mrpuffin:
the system itself doesn't seem to have much arabic in it (like the app names and setting menus) (set locale to arabic) but it does seem to support it

and it does load the page correctly of what i can see (but idk if it displays it correctly i don't speak any arabic at all)

hope that helps

[EVO 4G Android Development] Jbcarrera:
this is not a real rom it is a dev test rom to try and get a working version of gingerbread for us before sprint gets it out
[EVO 4G Android Development] Product F(RED):
Yeah guys, there's really no point complaining that things are broken. It's fun to try for 5 minutes, and then you should be back on your way restoring a Nandroid. It's simply not meant for everyday use.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mhamlettster:
Not a dev, so IDK how its moving along, but has anyone done or know about anything to do with the NFC stuff? is there a HW req for this to work or does it just use the cellular broadcast functions from the phone, or wifi or what? I got confused trying to read up about it and the search function is down right now.. so If I missed a thread plz don't flame me.

Thanks.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Product F(RED):
NFC uses a chip, so yes, there is hardware required. No amount of software hacking will bring it to current phones.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mrpuffin:
no complaints as i know it's not an official rom yet and i'm actually loving it for what it is so far

here are my observations

i installed launcher pro on it and the launcher doesn't really lag that and disable animations and it's fairly usable

and for ppl who are wondering what doesn't work

no Audio (Headset/speakers)

mic (not 100% if it works or not but i know other phones running this it doesn't work)

no wifi

no bluetooth

kinda laggy (but set it up right and it ain't bad)

some root apps (root explorer,)

browser crashes for me when loading google

no accelerometer

no camera (tried throwing cyanogen camera on instead of included one)

calls work but without speaker/mic can't make calls

apperently don't have a calendar app (probably pull 2.2 one from cyanogenmod)

anything that requires camera does NOT work (ex Barcode scanner, Google Goggles)

to get market/other stuff i flashed gapps from cyanogen
[EVO 4G Android Development] Tiffany84:
Didn't have this problem when I ran it for a few minutes. I used astro. The first time I opened astro it showed all my contents but then forclosed. Then every time after that it still showed all my contents but never forclosed.
[EVO 4G Android Development] lildee228:
Does this have the screen off animation
[EVO 4G Android Development] mrpuffin:
not sure exactly what animation that is but..

it has all animations of what i understand but they are laggy so i would suggest not using them as it makes things feel smoother
[EVO 4G Android Development] lildee228:
When you hit the power button to turn the screen off, the animation where it looks like ur turning off an old television set.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Bizdady:
Nope not included in sdk.
[EVO 4G Android Development] creepyfuz:
Actually I read that an updated bluetooth could be used for a type of NFC. Don't ask me where as it was last week and i read a lot of aticles. But accordingto the article it has been possible with bluetooth for years just that no one has taken it far enough.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Circular Pastry:

Actually, there is chatter that Sprint wants to get it out before Christmas on the Evo so they will be first again. And IMO, that is a believable and reasonable rumor.

[EVO 4G Android Development] CheesyNutz:
Would be great if so I like how they beat every one else to the 2.2 update

from my phone duh
[EVO 4G Android Development] notasimpleway:
Oh yes. I remember waking up to my phone saying it had a rather large update and immediately getting on XDA to see if anyone had a root version posted. Felt like Christmas. ;D So, Christmas twice in the same year would be amazing. And it would show that Sprint is really, really serious about Android and their customers.

[EVO 4G Android Development] newbapotamous:
HTC

So...

I personally don't see this being the last "major" update for the Evo. Given the nature of the business, I'm sure Honeycomb will be the end of the line for the Evo - and even that is undercutting it by a longshot. Last I read, Sprint is limited to the time it would take HTC to port gingerbread over with its (non)Sense overlay. I'm sure all carriers would love to get Gingerbread out officially the same day the Nexus S releases simply for the sake of competition.

HTC should get some devs in here to take a look at what people want to keep and not try to overly tweak the stock Gingerbread.

Rumor had it that Google wanted a wide-spread gingerbread release for Christmas (period). Keeping with the holiday and seasons, as was the fortunate release of Froyo (summer snack).

Looks like they'll only make it on the Nexus brand...so expect the Nexus One to officially have Gingerbread by Christmas
[EVO 4G Android Development] ichihollow:
just the bigger android phones, lets not forget the poor sacrafices that were the HTC Hero and Samsung Momement, which were both pretty much abandon by sprint AND their manufacturers. I'm on an Optimus S so I'd like a sprint launched update by Christmas but sadly it will likely be the epic and the evo, probably epic first, just because it's a more recent release, though the Evo having to go through one less channel to get to the phone being an HTC branded phone may get it done first.
[EVO 4G Android Development] notasimpleway:
I don't think they'd skip 2.2 on the Epic after pouring at that time into it. Plus we both know how Samsung likes to crawl not run or even walk to the finishline when it comes to updates. The first 4G phone may be the first 2.3. Carrier-wise.

Sent from my iPhone with the bigger Gee Bees.
[EVO 4G Android Development] sndper:
I can tell you that the EVO will be the first sprint phone to have 2.3. Epic is on track to get 2.2 on or around the 18th of december, and the EVO should get 2.3 on or around the 24th according to my contact at sprint.
[EVO 4G Android Development] yamaford:
Why all the mindless chatter totally unrelated to this rom?. Boot animation, rumors, speculation on releases for next year. Just makes it really hard to keep up with progress on the topic when we have to read several pages of bs.

[EVO 4G Android Development] -shift-:
all gingerbread roms are from the sdk.. they're not from source. so, no, barnacles10 is right, no one has *gingerbread* at the moment. why is this even being discussed on a dev-only thread dedicated to cracking open gingerbread? if you're not a dev contributing to the cause, don't post... jesus.
[EVO 4G Android Development] johnston9234:
sorry bout that, any ideas when the source code will be released?

[EVO 4G Android Development] barnacles10:
Thank you.

No. we do not know.

And as shift said, lets try and keep this thread to talk about development. Its really hard to pull up this thread to get some facts when the entire thing is about where can I get the gingerbread theme, when will it come out, I like the keyboard, what live wallpapers will work, who will be the first to get gingerbread etc etc. Really? That is no help to the progression of this port. Thats what both general, and QnA sections are for guys.

The devs know how valuable their work is to us, and they know we're rooting for them, no need to crowd their workspace with these comments.

Before the Evo came out google released a statement as to which devices will be able to get future upgrades. They said any phone with a 1GHZ processor and with screen size 3.7 and bigger. They announced this due to people worried about OS fragmenting and so people would feel comfortable having a phone for more than 6 months without feeling like you wasted your money.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Shidell:
Nah, this was a false rumor. Google never announced any hardware requirements--Android is open source, they can't put a 'requirement' on anything.
[EVO 4G Android Development] tomh1979:
and yet they have put requirements on a bunch, being as there are many phones out there left unsupported to even get eclair, let alone froyo which the only wy the hero even got to see it is custom rom, even then it's not that great on the hero, tried it with my wife's phone, bad mistakes, just went back to rooted eclair, cpu can't handle froyo, lol.
