[EVO 4G Android Development] tjmontan:
what about this theme...http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=878235 (still a no go? ) and what about a diff kernel (net's latest?)..thanks again for your hard work..
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
here is the deal... ALL the themes are basically messing with the apks... so until a theme will use my packages... u will lose the opt i made.

the theme will work btw if u flash it btw.

as far as kernels... all should work.

let me explain a little more about what i did so u and some more people can under stand...

ok...

so each apk has inside it localizations files for many different languages... u can see all of those only if u decompile the apk btw.

it is very clear why the apks have those files in them btw... obviously htc dont make phones just for english speakers.

the biggest change i made was to remove all of those languages from the apks.

i only left in english and spanish instead of the other 10-30 different languages that were in the packages.

the htc evo in my opinion dont need all of those languages in it cuz it is a phone that is used pmly in the US... and u should also under stand that when im talking about the localizations files, im actually referring to the way that the UI is... not to language support which u get by the fonts.

now... as far as i noticed its not like we can actually have the phone in a korean UI anyways... so why have that extra files in the apk... right?

of course korean is not the only useless language to us... there are like i said 10 to 30 more useless ones like that all over the apks.

now... clearing those files gave me a much smaller apk like i said in the op... logically, smaller apk means smaller loading time and less hog on the mem.

this is translated into a faster rom and better batt life.

i hope that clears a little more about what was done here... and why.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ioos:
This sounds awesome. What process did you use to rebuild the APKs? I'd like to give it a shot myself as a learning experience.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Jim M:
Downloading now...
[EVO 4G Android Development] T3hPWN:
Nice way to think outside the box
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
just used apktools... of course i paid attention to all the tiny details... its was at times a little more tricky then just deleting files and recompiling.

but... i tested it one by one until it was done.

i can't really explain the whole process... but basically take an apk out of any other rom besides this one...

decompile it and u will see all of those extra files that are basically useless for us.

all apks have them... i can go the extra mile here and even optimize it more by messing with google apps that also have those files in them... but what ive done here is good enough as a base or as an example of how it kinda should be if we want things to work better for us and only us.
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
thanks...

i came up with it cuz i remembered that when i was cooking manila for windows mobile in the past i used to (and everyone else also) remove useless languages to save on space.

here all of those files are in the apks... so it took a hell of a lot longer due to the need for decompiling all of the apks, recompiling and testing.

but... i think the results are pretty good.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ICEReaction:
Awesome...can't wait until your new ROM comes out. Thanks bro.
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
added the mirrors link.

p.s.

guys.. after running it for a while... let me know what u think.
[EVO 4G Android Development] smw6180:
Out of curiosity: So if I get an update from the market it will overwrite your apks...and then all the optimization of removing the unneeded languages will be lost, correct?
[EVO 4G Android Development] tonwarr.the.incredible:
So, this may be a dumb question. If I were to use Calk's remove sense and launcherpro for my launcher, would I still see the same benefits?
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
u r technically right...

but, keep in mind that it will only affect the actual apk that was replaced and not the whole rom... i also tried to stay away from google apps that u can update in the market for that reason alone...

google leaves the localization files inside all of their apps... and if an update will come u will lose my opt... so i didnt bother with most google apps.

but thats why i said approx 95% of the apks.

all of the htc and the system that cannot be updated has been optimized.

the things that really effect the system is the processes that run all the time in the background... those will always be opt... so as for market apps... dont worry about it... its safe.

the reason im saying no to themes is cuz sometimes those themes take over all of those apps that run in the background... not to mention the htc and android resources... so that why im saying try to avoid themes.
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
yes u would.

background processes were also modified... not only sense things.
[EVO 4G Android Development] smw6180:
Ahhh! Gotcha, makes sense. Thanks!
[EVO 4G Android Development] ckoadiyn:
Wipeing

Do we need to wipe anything before we flash this over and will we loose everything by flashing this over?
[EVO 4G Android Development] aph:
How much smaller is the ROM overall in space and RAM used?
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
yes... better to wipe everything... unless u r coming from a complete stock deodexed rom... than u might get away with just wiping dalvik and cache.
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
i did not run a full 1 by 1 compare...

i can say that all the apk that have been optimized... and it approx 120-130 of them have got their resources.asrc files reduced to at least half the size and up to 10% of its original size...

if i look inside the system/apps folder i can see that on the original stock rom that folder is approx 120mb... mine is only approx 88mb... and all of the same files are there... so considering that not all of the google apps were touched and that not all apks needed to be opt i would say that the size was cut by about half overall.

yes i know from 120 to 90 its only 25%... but not all needed to be messed with... so from the app that were messed with... its at least half the size.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nova hands:
Hey guys, I need some help.

I've been using my HD2 for two months now with little to no issue.

I've installed a couple of different Android ROMs with success, and enjoyed using them.

Recently I tried one that I didn't like, and decided to restore my phone to factory WinMO ROM.

Since then, I've had HORRIBLE data speeds...

I'm talking 50-60Kb/s where I used to get at LEAST 500Kb/s...

What on earth happened??

I'm currently on stock WinMO ROM with nothing flashed except for HSPL.

Can anyone help?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johnerz:
format your memory card or replace it to see if anything improves
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] russpattaya:
Hi

Just a couple of things? When you flashed back to stock rom, was you back with spl? or have you put Hspl back in? I also thought usa mobiles had a radio version 51?

So maybe the radio version could be the problem? You can try flashing back to stock, then trying, before flashing up Hspl, or check to see if you have radio version 51 instead of the 50.

I also would like to know if this sovles it for you

Tks

Russ
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nova hands:
Here's what I did:

1. I formatted the memory card to remove any traces of Android.

2. I restored the original WinMO ROM.

3. I performed Task29

4. I Flashed Radio 2.15.50.14 (has always worked for me)

5. I flashed VBNROM 2 Reloaded (has always worked for me)

6. I installed my favorite flavor of Android.

Still no data speeds over 50-60Kb/s.

I then decided to restore the factory WinMO ROM again. I formatted the memory card, and restored. No Task29 this time.

Now back to factory WinMO ROM and still suffering from terrible data speeds, even on stock WinROM radio.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] russpattaya:
Hi

Looks like you have lost the data settings supplied by T-Mobile. You can check via start/settings/connections/connections. (or similar to your mobile settings) you should see T-mobile internet settings? look for manage existing connections. touch that. (Mine has AIS GPRS Internet, so i am working fine)

Does your have/say something simillar? If not then I hope another T-Mobile USA user can give you your settings. (Or you can google it)

Hope this helps this time!!

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] deadmansink:
It may be the Radio...
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] nova hands:
Well, I'm using stock Radio right now... 2.08.50.08_2

When I was on Android, I was using 2.15.50.14. That was the same one I had been using all along.

Makes no sense.

I actually did a Task29 and formatted the memory card, too. That should have erased everything.

Oddly enough, when I restored the phone to its original WinMO ROM, it had somehow remembered my Web2Go favorites.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] deadmansink:
You know, every time you change a build/ROM it may change the DNS settings. Have you double checked those? Most builds use a default Google DNS, but check your carrier, most likely T-Mobile. My thumbnail has those settings that can be found in the system/build.prop file; edit/add to look like mine.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] deadmansink:
I think I mentioned this to you already on a different thread, did I?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] nova hands:
Yeah, but now I'm dealing with slow speeds in Windows Mobile. I'm not even in Android yet. I don't think I'm going to get fast data speeds in Android with your settings if I can't even get them in stock Windows Mobile. Or am I completely wrong?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] deadmansink:
What's your signal strength? Did you already mention that you're getting "H"?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] deadmansink:
I know you flashed the WMRom, but what Radio is it? Have you tried changing Radios after flashing stock Rom? I'm seeing a lot of different opinions on Roms from 2.10-2.15, but 2.10 seems to be the front-runner. I'll keep checking...
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] deadmansink:
If you go to the settings tab > wireless controls > phone > band ; are network type and band frequency set on auto?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] deadmansink:
You can also change APN settings, check for alternate APN's. That's all I've found through Google and XDA...
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] nova hands:
Yeah, full signal and the "H".

I'm on 2.15.50.14. It's the one I was using before when I was getting decent speeds at 500kb/s. I reflashed it again after installing VBNRom and Android.

Is this in WinMO or Android? If you mean Android, then yes, I set it to GSM/WCDMA Auto.

I set my APN to match yours, and edited my build.prop to include your #DNS settings.

This is what I get for complaining that 500kb/s is not fast enough. ;)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] kevev:
Maybe my pain can help you. I have been having the same terrible data speeds on both my HD2 and Mytouch Slide phones for almost a year. T-Mobile kept telling me to get new sim cards. That never helped for very long. Replaced all the phones and no change. My data slowed down to 50-60k just like yours. Dropped calls all over the place. Data stalling. T-Mobile gave up and said it was structural interference. I called BS. They even offered to cancel my contracts with no charge to me. I called in 2 days ago and spoke with someone in Tier 2 support who had a clue finally. She said I had old sims. I called BS. But she informed me that T-Mobile has new UICC SIMS that are designed for the 3.5G network they now run. Long story short I went to my local T-Mobile store and asked for 2 new UICC SIMS and that fixed the issue. I am now getting almost 4mbits down and 1.7mbits up on both lines with only 2 bars of signal in my house. No data stalls, no dropped calls, and the quality is better. Here is some info on wikipedia about the new UICC cards. They are basically a system on a chip and assist with the 3G communications stuff. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UICC

Here is a whole thread about it in the T-Mobile forum with pictures of old vs new sim towards the bottom. http://forums.t-mobile.com/t5/myTouch-4G/Updating-Sim-Card-Does-it-really-matter/m-p/546631
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] deadmansink:
No worries, I was actually referring to WM on all accounts, since that's what you said that you were having a problem with. Searching through Google and XDA lead me to those questions and recommendations. The last post seems reasonable, I would check on that. Also, T-Mobile changed there DATA specs, and I saw that they lowered the bar to 5gs and a speed cap after, maybe you were pulling some speed doing something and they capped it? Don't know, but check on the SIM card deal, see what you got.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] nova hands:
I checked... I have a new one. It has the "TM9073" on it.

Thanks, tho. THat was a good thought....

I actually got a text message this morning from T-Mobile:

"Free T-Mobile Message: Due to the amount of data you have used this billing cycle, your data speed will be slowed the remainder of the cycle."

So, that probably explains my 50-60kb/s speeds right now.

It still doesn't explain my typical 500kb/s, though...
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] deadmansink:
It's probably because you hadn't reached the cap, yet. This is to prevent people to use phone as a modem and have internet basically for free, and not use their mobile broadban service. After the "billing cycle" it should go back up.

Alright, so my digitizer is about dead. It used to work if I shook it, etc.

My question is, according to mission:repair, they can replace the digitizer for $110. Should I have them do that, or should I just buy another HD2 off eBay for 200?

From what I've heard, the adhesion between the LCD and digitizer is pretty sticky, so I'm unsure if I should try their service.

So, which path should I choose? >.>

(Also, if you know any tips that may get the digitizer to work again, please let me know, even though I've tried most of them from what I've read, I think)

I looked at the visual interface and it's nothing new....No New interface( ui )

looked into the app drawer and nothing new there either..

the on;ly thing i see different is the Keyboard.....

Htc Sense is a real achievement when you're looking for something New and fresh...

Miui also is something BUG and NEW ( I don't feel like Gingerbread has lived up to all the expectations.... BUT I CAN BE WRONG . LOL )

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] IndivisibleP:
For starters its much faster and smooth. This comes from tighter organization of resources from what I have read, and this also helps with battery performance. and even if nothing else, this alone makes it a good upgrade. I mean even if you think of it as Android 2.2 just with better battery and seamless performance it is a very desirable thing.

But mainly it seems that the upgrades are in the background of the OS and not to the UI. Although that is not the most exciting thing the effect was immediately perceivable by me when I picked it up in Best Buy, which I was happy with.

And finally, I guess this is personal preference, but for those that like vanilla Android this a nice upgrade. Even the Froyo 2.2 that came on my Nexus One had some spamware in it (Amazon MP3, Facebook, Twitter, etc) but this comes with strictly Google apps, which is great. I have found that I personally dont get along with Sense or any of the other skins. Personally I havent found anything superior to Vanilla android with Launcher Pro (except CyanogenMod :D , which wont install on my Nexus One b/c I dont want to void the warranty :rolleyes: )
