Can someone post some screenshots? I am very curious. I have a lot of transparency enabled in my current rom for example the launcher is transparent, so the the app drawer, so is the notification bar and it looks slick especially with a nice wallpaper. I wonder if this can be customized/themed as well.
[EVO 4G Android Development] retnuh730:
Flash the update zip from the first post that specifically says to flash to fix this problem.
[EVO 4G Android Development] AcE XBOX:
Lol thanks. I over looked it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ccaudio1:
flashed your rom yesterday and its been working great.. so far no issues that i can tell.

my question being a newbie on the Evo... Can i just flash a theme over this?

thanks in advance
[EVO 4G Android Development] SITH16:
A theme will overwrite the optimizations done by Mik. You will either have to wait for someone to create an optimized theme, or until Mik themes his rom.
[EVO 4G Android Development] brock1909:
or you could make your own. That way you can make your own icons, or mix and match from different themes. just my opinion.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ccaudio1:
i was going to use the framework for his rom and build from there. im not new to theming just new to the EVO and just learning things...

i use to have a moment and did a handful of themes for it at another site.

thanks for the quick reponse
[EVO 4G Android Development] SITH16:
The framework is set up pretty much the same as the moment from what I can tell. I started themeing the frist release of this and found out a new release was coming so I scrapped it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] brock1909:
yeah i did the same thing, but for the moment, diamond, hero, yada yada. its basically the same stuff, you should have no problem at all, if you do, send a PM and we can put something together. I was going to start one for this Rom, but with all the updates he has been doing the last few days i decided id wait for the new release becuase of all the changes to the files.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ro2themax:
alarm bug

just flashed the rom yesterday and found that when i set the alarm and it goes off, theres no way to snooze or dismiss it. i had to reboot the phone, is there a fix for that?
[EVO 4G Android Development] ccaudio1:
i guess ill wait a bit to see if theres other updates before i apply a theme but will surely start the process in building it.

EDIT: is this rom DEODEXED?
[EVO 4G Android Development] retnuh730:
Myn's new beta is out but I'm having trouble taking the plunge and installing it solely because of this ROMs speed. I don't want to give it up, especially with a new update for this ROM coming soon. Decisions, decisions.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jklong03:
I'd say hang in there, Mik's stuff is just so smooth and with such few problems. I've done some testing on the new release for him and you will like it!

Just killing time waiting on the release of beta!

before i start reading... wanna let u guys know that the new rom is faster than ever.

hopefully it will be up in a couple of hours.

Is the Google Maps/Navigation bug fixed?
[EVO 4G Android Development] gbhartia:
Hi Every1,

Merry Christmas !

Just a question...Is it mandatory to flash the all in one update (Pri/radio/wimax/nv) before flashing this rom ?

I have read the new combo update has some problems with stock kernels.

What do you suggest ? Flash radio /wifi/nv/pri update before the rom or flash the rom and then update radio ?

Or leave the radio to current version(one before the latest) and still use the rom ?
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
what i found is that if u turn maps on instead of the navigation... then navigation works with no delay... not sure why that is like that.

its kinda weird.

i think though that i will leave maps out and let u guys install it from the market... cuz i know that everyone that have done that got working.
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
as far as i know... u only need to flash it once... not everytime u flash a rom... so it should be fine if u already did.

btw guys... u can hold off on d/l for now... a new version should be up in a few hours.
[EVO 4G Android Development] gbhartia:
^

Thanks for the quick reply !

I know I only have to flash it once. But some people are having some issues when you flash the latest combo update and use a stock kernel.

Are you using the lastest update (Radio/Wifi/NV/Pri) ? If yes, did you flash radio first or your rom first ?

And did you use combo update or individual update files while updating?

P.S., In the future you will be better off doing some research before asking basic questions such as this. I took it easy on you but a lot of folks would flame you for not looking it up yourself. Nothing wrong with being a noob. Just don't be a lazy noob because it annoys the experienced users. Just trying to get you off on the right foot in forum-land :)

Ok, that took care of my GPS problem. The only difference is that I didn't have to clear the cache.

Thanks for the help!

[EVO 4G Android Development] Dubez:
Need help,

I nandroided back to 4.2, for some reason 4.3's battery drain was way tooo fast. Now back on 4.2 I can't see any of the apps I have installed on the sd card. Never had this problem before, any suggestions?
[EVO 4G Android Development] jklong03:
Sorry to beat a dead horse

Sorry to beat a dead horse here on the subject of apps2sd but I suspect it is not implemented correctly and therefore not really working.

I looked at the dta2sd.log file for Darktremor located in /data directory and it indicated:

[]No apps2sd start flag detected...apps2sd will not be started.

Now I have a known good ext3 partion that is getting mounted, verified by mount command that showed my ext3 was indeed mounted at boot time.

I also verified this by downloading several larger programs from market and the size of my ext3 partition never increased, while my internal memory did, and the sd card, telling me the apps aren't installing on the ext3 which I thought was the whole purpose of apps2sd.

Having said that, I am confused somewhat, because Titanium Pro (root, paid version) reports that the downloaded apps are on the sd card and offers the chance to move them back to internal. So I am really confused as to where they are actually getting stored, only that I am sure they aren't touching my ext3 partition! I am guessing that since Darktremor didn't get initialized correctly, instead of the traditional apps2sd method, the 4.3 ROM insteads defaults to the Froyo method and puts them on the Fat32 portion of the sd card instead?

Now Mik, this isn't a callout or anything, just a "heads up" for future reference on the final release. Thought it was info you could use. You are certainly swamped getting 4.4 ready for release, hense I understand why you haven't replied to my PMs on this issue.

If you don't want to "muck around" with this apps2sd issue any further, I say forget it altogether and those of us who want it can just run the Darktremor external script ourselves to implement apps2sd.

It would be nice if it was done automatically by the ROM however. Also, I am pretty sure that if you had only one version that included a properly working Darktremor apps2sd script and startup flags, then that would make us apps2sd nuts happy, and if everyone else boots it without any external partions on their sd card, then it will just abort and your non-apps2sd version will function as normal!

Sorry to all if I seem fixated on this apps2sd issue, if you want me to "shut the hell up" I will be glad to because otherwise, even without it, MikFroyo is the only ROM I will be booting for the near future!

I'm currently running 4.3, but I flashed a zip to get the Android robot on my notification screen. It's from Eric's thread, I believe.

Edit: here is a link http://db.tt/HqGw8B0

Sent from my EVO rockin' MikFroYo!
[EVO 4G Android Development] snovvman:
Thank you very much Mik. I will push it to their respective locations. Will Flashplayer still be connected to the Market so when a new version is available it will show it?
[EVO 4G Android Development] jkcpsal:
Probably not a chance to get it in 4.4 but check out the rotary lockscreen that JsChiSurf has just got working, looks awesome
[EVO 4G Android Development] Thedonk13:
Question, may be lame or already answered, but i'm not gonna read through a couple 100 pages to find it....i know this ROM is sense based and all the speed it provide probably only applies to Sense, i am not a sense fan and I love LauncherPro, will the speed of this rom ALSO make LauncherPro fast?
[EVO 4G Android Development] a senile fungus:
Yes. You can also flash a zip to.remove the sense launcher. That way you can use LP and not have to worry about sense

~ I'm a fungi
[EVO 4G Android Development] mitchellvii:
Hmmm, I am running a2sd on 4.3 and it is working flawlessly.

Run the following:

adb shell

/system/bin/a2sd check

and see what it says. If your dalvik cache is running off internal memory, run this:

a2sd cachesdreset << this will put your dalvik cache on sdcard and also clean up any errors.

Phone will reboot after running this.

You can also run dalvik cache off of the cache partition but I have found that causes installation from Market errors.

This is about how your Titanium Backup should look:

Do NOT use TB to manually place apps on your SDCard. This is a completely different way of doing things than a2sd and will cause your phone to move the apps to your sdcard twice.

Having DT a2sd on your phone means never having to manually move anything.
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
Ok... so I saw js got the rotatry lock screen going... but no release yet.

The plan is to have 4.4 up on Sat anyways... so if by then he will release it, it will be added for sure.

If not, ill make sure to add a zip once he will.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Thedonk13:
Sweet...thanks a lot man...i've been dying to try out mikfroyo for awhile, but i am not fan of Sense so i held back...i knew about the sense remove mod, i use it regularly...i was just thinking that this ROM was basically a slimmed down version of Sense and if I got rid of it then I wouldn't be utilizing any of the hardwork he put into the ROM....so, if I read you correct, i will experience all the speedy fastness of this ROM even when using LP Pro...
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
let me explain it a little more...

ALL packages on this rom have been rebuilt and slimmed down... not just sense... so u should feel the diff.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Thedonk13:
i knew that, not being sarcastic or demeaning, i'm just new to the flash scene and from what i've been reading ROM's are either AOSP, Sense, or Non-Sense based...i was just assuming (thus making a bit of an arse out of myself) that only the Sense stuff was redone...i get ya now and am looking forward to flashing this baby tonight after work!! why is flashing so much fun now?!!? i remember my G1 being a pain to flash all the time!
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
ok guys... so im gonna have beta w up in a few.

ill add the tiny list of changes i made, mostly graphics... some animations tuneup, and i changed some things in the frameworks to how CM does it.

so... i will need all u guys to check on data speeds and such... but thats basically it... nothing big.

again... a non apps2sd version cuz thats how beta 1 was and i would also like it if all u guys that going on the beta please fully wipe cuz thats the only real way to be sure u hitting all possible issues if any.

link should be up shortly.

Hotspot says not active

Just flashed v4.3 and went to the Sprint HotSpot on and I got the message saying that it is not activated on my account but can be used a LAN only. Am I wrong in thinking that this ROM had the hack built into it or is ther something I am missing? Any ideas?
[EVO 4G Android Development] kc_hubbard:
Disappearing SD Card

OK. I've run Mik's ROMs since he started the whole re-engineering thing, and have had absolutely ZERO problems. Kept reading about the whole dissappearing apps things, GPS things, SD Card things...nothing ever went wrong on my end.

Then, today at lunch, w/ no changes whatsoever, my SDCard is no longer available to my phone while booted up. It's available in Recovery, it's available to my PC if I mount it, it's available in my card reader. Just not while the phone is up and running.

I've tried the following to fix, to no avail. Just want to make sure I haven't missed anything before I completely wipe everything (phone, card, etc) and start from scratch.

-Rebooted, Wiped Cache and Dalvik and rebooted, Copied contents of the card to pc and Partitioned SD via RA Recovery 2.2.1 and rebotted, wiped Cache and Dalvik (NOT data yet) and installed Mik4.3.

See my sig for my setup, but am NOT using apps2sd version.

Anything I have missed? At this point I'm NOT thinking it's a hardware issue because I can see the card by Mounting from the phone and/or use my card reader.

Thanks for any help I can get here.
[EVO 4G Android Development] adrian2pm:
i think you have to use wireless tether

where can we find this file to remove sense? can we use caulks remove sense?

it should work... it works here... anyone else with that issue?

is there a seprate zip file i can flash that can get this to work...i know i can install wireless tether but like the idea of having that built into a ROM

[EVO 4G Android Development] jklong03:
Big Public Appology !!

OK, my apps2sd issue is resolved, and as usual, it was all my fault!!! Mik's work was spot on as usual.

Thanks to mitchellvii, I ran the Darktremor test and it indeed said that a2sd wasn't working and everything was going to internal, just as I had confirmed. I then made the faulty logic leap that it had something to do with the way Mik implemented it in 4.3.

Fact is (some of you may remember) I discovered yesterday that my ext3 partition was faulty. I backed up my sd card, reformated it with Amon RA 2.2.1 and it was mounting fine.

Here is where I screwed up. I RESTORED my old nandroid of 4.3 apps2sd after I reformated the sd card and expected it to work. Issue is, that nandroid was based on having been installed initially with a bad ext3 partition, hense when the first-run script ran it disabled apps2sd.

Once I fixed the sd card and restored the nandroided version, it wasn't aware of the fix since the first-run script only runs upon inital flashing, not after a nandroid restore (which is a virtual snapshot of the current, post install configuration).

Long story short, from the nandroid restored version (which I had configured with the 4x5 rosie, the robot pull-down, etc...) I just followed the prompts when I ran "a2sd check" and did a /system/bin/a2sd reinstall and now everything works like it should.

So, sorry to Mik for ever questioning his perfectionism :o, thanks to mitchellvii for the patience and tips as well!:p That is what makes this thread so much more enjoyable than some of the other hardcore threads that always say, "search you leach" whenever you ask a question or post an issue they don't want to deal with!
[EVO 4G Android Development] jstn76rs:
I just tried it and it worked for me.
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
ok beta 2 is up.

like i said before...

a few more graphical changes.

changed some of the framework-res values to what cm use by def (hopefully will show faster dl/ul and better batt life)

tunedup animation a little

moved boot anim to def sprint location (so it will be easier for u bouncing letters hating guys to switch.... kidding)

yes... the robot is in the pull down (my version of it - not the old screen shot - on the left and a little darker with trans in it)

here is the link:

MikFroYo-v4.4-Beta-II-signed.zip
[EVO 4G Android Development] suboveryde:
I know it should, I have no doubt about your ROM, usb tether doesn't either, not sure if it is something I did. It was one of the first things I tried after flashing the rom
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
did u fully wipe?

if no, i would suggest to try reflashing with fully wipe.

if u restored any data or system from an old rom... not sure.

try after fully wiping.

first try the usb tether then the hotspot app.
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
ok guys... so i think im gonna leave on only one version up for u all starting 4.4.

it will be the one that support apps2sd.

the reason is cuz it does seem as if that version is faster (maybe dalvik to cache is f'ing something up) and it should keep everyone happy on all sides.
[EVO 4G Android Development] newbapotamous:
Mik,

I effin love you dude. I'm looking forward to 4.4 and would just go nuts if you put in the rotary unlock when JS drops it. I also have to give props to your theme team (mostly Eric) for all the work they've been doing. Keep up the excellent work, good sir.
[EVO 4G Android Development] xxRAMOTHxx:
Sprint hotspot working as advertised. No issues here.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jklong03:
And you may want to point out that if they don't have an ext partition, no big deal, its just like apps2sd was never mentioned, it will install and run as usual, right:confused:
[EVO 4G Android Development] nrage23:
Can I use the apps2sd one without actually using apps2sd?
[EVO 4G Android Development] bumsock:
Sweet, but were not talking beta 2 are we? Beta 2 Is still without apps2SD correct?
[EVO 4G Android Development] jklong03:
Sorry Mik, but you had to see that one coming!
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
apps2sd means the support is there... its not forcing anyone to use it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] nrage23:
Sorry, your post was not up when I was typing. My bad I got it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
yes... not apps2sd.

in beta 2 i would love it if u guys will let me know if u feel dl/ul speeds any diff and if there is a tiny improve in batt life or is it the other way and its alittle worse.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jklong03:
And it is faster, I go from power off to lock screen display in under 50 seconds, that is what got me started on this "crusade"!

[EVO 4G Android Development] mitchellvii:
You know, it's weird because the Dark Tremor thread definitely gives the impression any user can just flash a2sd on a rom and it will work, but it doesn't.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=715116

Oh well.

UPDATE - Here's what's weird. The phone does see a2sd; however, it won't mount my ext3 so I can't transfer files to sd ext. But I can still transfer dalvik to the cache partition, thus saving about 60 mb of space.

I'm confused.
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
its all vicious lies to get donations...

kidding... it will work on all roms.. but there are somethings that some roms use that could conflict with his scripts somehow.
[EVO 4G Android Development] newbapotamous:

[EVO 4G Android Development] mitchellvii:
Well, what's odd is that I have a 1024 MB sd ext3 set up; however, my TB is showing SDCard (a2sd): 367 MB (193 MB free). So, there is "something" on my ext, but it is saying my ext3 won't mount and my ext is half the size it should be.

I'm lost.

Will try a TB batch restore and see if my phone catches fire.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jklong03:
Mitch, there is discussion on there that the ROM you try and use it on must have a kernel (actually the boot.img needs special code) that supports apps2sd, so there are several posts that say some ROM devs (not mik of course) just copy other's base roms and forget to modify their boot images to make the calls, assuming the kernel they use supports it.

More can be seen on the issue here.
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
ok guys... i pinned down the file that sometimes caused hptspot to not work all the time (some old tricks dont work on new phones... yet devs keep using them).

reflash please once its up again.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jklong03:
Mitch, PM me on this,sounds like you may be going down the same yellow brick road I recently traveled, only to finally reformat my sd card and repartition it, and reflash the apps2sd version of 4.3 with a wipe before I got a2sd check to say everything was going to my sd.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mitchellvii:
Hmmm, so it I flash a kernel that has it (maybe netarchy) then it should work perhaps?
[EVO 4G Android Development] mitchellvii:
