4.4 so far!!!!!

Ok everyone, big shout out to Mik, Mitch2Ga, mitchellvii, tonwarr.the.incredible, jklong03 and last but not least the fungus. Miks the Brain but all you other guys are the heart and soul of this thread. I hope i didn't forget anyone, but these are the guys that stand out to me so far. Forgive me but i"m still back at post #5000, Miks right, this thread is blowing up and moving like a freight train outta control ( in a good way ). Ok, on to business.

1. As far as battery life is concerned, i had performed a fresh install of 4.3, used Titanium BU to manually restore just the apps i wanted. Then flashed 4.4 over 4.3 on 1/15/11, keeping my data, so far no issues. been a few days so i thought i'd let everyone know what my battery life was like, just for info, running sbc-htc-15 kernel, setcpu at 700 mhz above 50% and 600 mhz below 50% battery life, when screen is sleeping 500 Mhz, i turn off all wireless radios when not in use but i txt a lot, make a few calls, on this last run, i had voice calls at 9%, cell standby at 36%. phone idle = 34%, display at 4%. i have the brightness set at 25% unless using phone in direct sunlight, i set to auto. I also read books on my phone so i would say im an in-between moderate to heavy usage user. Unplugged since 7am on 1/18/11 and now its 1/19/11 at 11:30am with 20% battery life left ( thats 28.5 hours everyone) and there was an abnormal battery drain overnight since when i went to bed the batter was at 60% at 9 pm but when i got up it was at 25% so i gotta see what did that. in other words, as far as im concerned, battery life is phenomenal. i would never get anywhere near this performance with a stock setup. Now my disclosure, as mik continually points ut, battery life is very dependent on how you use your phone but i can gaurantee you all that the battery life on this rom is far superior to the stock performance, my added use of setcpu and the sbc kernel just shot me past jupiter ;-).

2. I know I know I know, ill be putting my setup details in my signature as soon as i get up to date on the thread, sorry jklong.

3. last but not least, i have finally busted my ADB cherry by pushing a new widget.txt file to my phone, i wanted all the radio switches in my widgets so i removed the flash light.

So let me end my rant before i piss someone off by saying that this thread has been great and thank to you all even the ones i forgot.
[EVO 4G Android Development] a senile fungus:
OK one question... or clarification

On post 1 or 2, where the different animations are posted, it mentions that some are for the ROM theme and some are for the flat black theme.

Now maybe I have this all wrong, but isn't the ROM originally in flat black? It seems to me that the ROM theme IS the flat black theme...

Aren't our theme options for mikfroyo 1)ROM (black) 2) white 3) stock HTC ????

I'm wanting to check out different animations....

Thanks guys!

Thank you, Mitch, I have used the zip file Mik provided to save us that internal memory so I think I'm okay there. BUT, thinking always gets me into trouble so after I get these brakes installed on the wife's car, I'll run through your procedure to ensure compliance. Thank you for answering promptly and taking the time to explain. As I stated earlier, you guys are great!
[EVO 4G Android Development] a senile fungus:
Thanks man

This thread has such a great atmosphere

I feel that most issues that users have are common and because of that, more people are able to help

aamikam, mitchellvii, and jklong03 are incredibly helpful.

The only reason I get my 2cents in is because I'm on this thread refreshing all the time 8^]

It feels wonderful to be able to give back to this community in any way that I can.

Edit: (I swear I edit every time)

This thread really does seem more like friendly chat and banter.... of course we talk about the ROM every now and then ;-)

This has made my xda experience better, as it had begun to turn sour for a little while

~ I'm a fungi
[EVO 4G Android Development] jklong03:
Thanks for the shout-out drslevy!!

Hey fungi--don't you wish they would come out with special edition of FireFox with this thread and an automatic 30 second refresh enabled??
[EVO 4G Android Development] a senile fungus:
I honestly use my evo more than my computer nowadays... so I'm typically accessing this via tapatalk.

I have a widget that brings me right to my xda favorites

On another note, my laptop sucks so I think I'm just gonna tear it apart and stuff it inside of an old NES case... I'll add in a bunch of emulators and have a universal game system

Since you are now an "adb" expert, go to

It will give you everything you need to know when you get around to that siggy! ;)

[EVO 4G Android Development] drslevy:
great thanks, will have it in my sig by tonight.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jdefran:
This may not be the right place, but hopefully someone as experienced this similar issue.

So I am using a netarchy SBC kernel with this rom. In fear of overcharging my phone, I do to charge it overnight...rather during the day at work/school so I can monitor it. Last night it died while I was sleeping so I booted it up and plug it into charge for 20 minutes. Thereafter, battery monitor widget said it was still at 0%. So I turned it off thinking it would charge faster. Let it sit for another 20 mintues, fired it back up and it was at 89%. WTF??
[EVO 4G Android Development] drslevy:
LMAO, this is how bad it is guys, I have 2 tabs open, one reading the new posts as they come in and the next tab, trying to catch up with the new posts. LOL. I'm officially a MIK Threadaholic.

Getting a strange calendar wakelock drained my battery pretty fast. I had to change batteries first time since i started to use the super tweaked rom

[EVO 4G Android Development] tformed:
nvm..got it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] drslevy:
IMHO, your battery might be toast, that or your battery stat file might have gotten corrupted, just my 2 cents.

this is in regards to the battery issue 2 - 5 posts back, forgot to include original post.
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
ok guys here is rotary lockscreen for all of my themes.

im also adding the LP version that i modified cuz i dont think that fede gonna get back to me anytime soon if ever (his pm box must be full or something).

i did see that there are more threads with LP versions that have themes etc... so ill just post it and i believe it will be ok.

View attachment MikFroYo-Rotary-LockScreen-signed.zip

as for the grayscale i was talking about last night... this is what im gonna do.

1. ill make everything in gray scale (all packages)

2. ill make sure to keep colors only on icons/weather anims/etc.

3. give out 6 diff version of it with, 2 for each theme, 1 with black highlights and 1 with gray highlights. (im gonna skip it for the stock loving guys, just cuz they probably like the stock anyways)

now... keep in mind that this will take some time to finish up and also that im gonna leave behind porting other themes for now... its more fun making my own stuff.

have fun.

p.s.

2nd post will be updated with theme mods.

p.s. 2

as for animations... im gonna refer u guys to a guide that will explain to u how u would change the animations yourselves cuz it annyoing doing it for all themes 11 times (which will bring me to remake over 44 diff zips for anim alone and thats not counting the 6 new themes that will come up... and if i count those... it will be 100 zips... so u can see why it is not so fun doing it myself)
[EVO 4G Android Development] jdefran:
Well the battery can't be toast, I charger her to 100% and everything is running fine. How can I recover/recreate this battery stat file?
[EVO 4G Android Development] adrian2pm:
which one is transparent if any?
[EVO 4G Android Development] a senile fungus:
In recovery you are going to wipe battery stats.

I think typically it is recommended that you are fully charged (or in your case that you think you are)

After this, once your phone is up and running you will want to let it die all the way down. Don't plug it in, just let it do its thing

That should do it.

Have you tried just running stock kernal to see if that resolves the issue?

~ I'm a fungi
[EVO 4G Android Development] jklong03:
Easiest method is (drum roll).....:

Once your battery is fully charged up, reboot into recovery, look at the wipe menu, an option there for wiping battery file. (this assumes Amon_RA recovery, but I think I remember Clockwork having this option somewhere also)
[EVO 4G Android Development] a senile fungus:
Thanks mik, once again you are a beast

@jklong

What would cause car mode to become enabled?

This also happened to me on 4.3

Earlier today I flashed the zip to return haptic feedback to the dialer...

on 4.3 I had also flashed that zip.

Is anyone one else having car mode enable itself randomly? I have not seen reports of this. Would a logcat help?

~ I'm a fungi
[EVO 4G Android Development] dunebuggydude11:
for the rotary lockscreen, I'm assuming we are supposed to install the apk first and then flash the zip after, right?
[EVO 4G Android Development] adrian2pm:
i just flashed the zip ..looks great

it looks like the app widgetlock in the market
[EVO 4G Android Development] selders59:

[EVO 4G Android Development] Lrod0175:
U have a point there, I actually had some problems before with themes like Gingerbread and others, but in this case everything is as fast as it coud be with the evoelite and htc kernel #15. No issues so far and for me this is great I can even get the glass icons with this theme with no lagging or overheating.

Will the regular (non-themed) lockscreen work with the minimalist theme?
[EVO 4G Android Development] cbond007:
are we allowed to still use the built in alarm clock if we flash the lockscreen mod or do we need to download one from the market?
[EVO 4G Android Development] mitchellvii:
Mik,

Is this the same LP version I already have (with the fixed backgrounds) or is it newer and improveder?
[EVO 4G Android Development] jklong03:
Not noticed this on my setup, but then I don't have hepatic feedback restored...Mko...???
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
minimal theme is an un finished job... i said that more than once... so what will or will not work is something im not really worried about now.

sorry if i sound rude... but i only put it up there for all u guys that wanna try something and not necessarily have something new.

feel free to try what ever u want.

the biggest tip i can give is that u can always pull out an apk from one of my zips, push it into system/app and reboot... that will save u all the flashing and will make sure u can get only what u want.

im not gonna write a guide for this cuz im bad with writing guides.

maybe someone else that is good with writing these things will do it someday.
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
yes it is... who ever got a hold of the version i posted the first time... its the same thing.

Note regarding SDCard Health

Never, ever, ever, ever unplug your usb cord when you are mounted as "Disk Drive" to your pc. This can screw up your card hard core. Always unmount using software before physically unplugging.​
[EVO 4G Android Development] jklong03:
dude...what he said!!..
[EVO 4G Android Development] jdefran:
I understand this, I am just curious. Just wondering if such an incompatibility would cause bootloops. Guess I'll just experiment and find out.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mitchellvii:
The reason this thread is popular is that we don't have a bunch of these guys

in here...
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
i dont think any of my zips can cause boot loops... and mismatches will only be cuz the themes wont match.

u can mixup all the zips u want... nothing bad should happen besides some images not matching.
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
yea man... like i said... thank all of u guys for not flaming the noobs.

i do see how annoying it can get... thats why i added the nice red big statement at the OP.
[EVO 4G Android Development] grimstar:
I can't believe I missed that so close to my post. Thanks so much for the help!
[EVO 4G Android Development] jdefran:
Thank you for the clarification sir
[EVO 4G Android Development] mitchellvii:
Noobs are cool, lazy noobs? Not so much :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] jklong03:
don't quote me on this, but I think a few of the "approved" .zips somehow seem to reset the a2sd settings...I seem to remember having to run "#a2sd repair" after flashing them to get things straight again...again....YMMV
[EVO 4G Android Development] iTouch24:
whats themed on this version .. all i see different is the menu buttons are bold ... the delete icon is still the same and the widget colors also look the same ... what am i missing ... haha
[EVO 4G Android Development] dannyboyj:
Ok.. Finally all caught up on the thread since being away from my computer since Friday...

I wanted to read everything I could with everyone's experiences with version 4.4…

I am really excited to get home and flash… I’ve been using MikFroyo for a while now since the end of December and have loved flashing each new version…

Also just ordered one of the class 10 cards today… so I am excited to give that a whirl when it comes in…

As always Mik you rock and your ROMs are the best around by far.

I would like to reiterate what the others have said… this thread is the best as there is never any flaming… Even when questions are asked that are stated in the OP…

we need some pics posted of these lockscreens

MikFroYo-Rotary-LockScreen-Stock-Theme-signed.zip

MikFroYo-Rotary-LockScreen-signed.zip

whats the difference between these two?
[EVO 4G Android Development] gingson:
Thank you, massa:), for that wonderful rotary lockscreen. I don't know what to do next. Aside from that intermittent data connection, which I was able to get rid of with a diff. kernel, I am bored again. What do you have coming up, massa?;)

Maybe ill try your white theme? Nah. Minimalistic? Nah, I am happy with the FB, its minimal enough for me.:D
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
dude... if no theme name is mentioned... its for how 4.4 comes when u flash it.

if there is a theme name on the zip... its for the stated name.

so...

...-Stock-Theme.zip is for the guys that use the Stock rom theme on the top of 4.4... etc.

as for pics... i linked to js thread so u guys can see how it looks.. i jus changed it for my themes so the bars are more trans (33%)

[EVO 4G Android Development] gingson:
You are probably better off if you flashed it so you can see it with your phone's theme. That's what I do. My few cents.;)

yes man... look into js thread that is linked from where the zips for this lockscreen mod is on the 2nd post.

Testing zips you may/may not want to use!!

yes...just put what you are thinking about using on sdcard...reboot recovery...nandroid backup...apply .zip file you are testing...reboot system...Try it out...if you don't like the results...reboot recovery...restore last backup...you aren't out anything but the time (and battery usage) to do the backup/restore and then you can speak intelligently about your experience with whatever you just flashed!

oh ok ... so i flash what u made .. it will install that application and then we can pick what we want

aamikam your the effing man. really dude. i really feel like your one of the elite devs on this forum. very few devs take as much pride in their work as you do. you guys have no idea how precise and careful this guy is with his work. he goes through EVERY file and makes sure they are up to his standards, which are pretty damn high... the time he takes to optimize all his images and make the most efficient rom possible is ridiculous.. his roms are so lean and fast there is no need for overclocking. keep up the great work bud and hoping more devs will start to give you the credit you deserve. have a great xmas bro!
[EVO 4G Android Development] Evobabe:
this is very true

Omg Evobabe. If your avatar looks as good as you, I think Jesus dropped an angel here on XDA. :D
[EVO 4G Android Development] MicrosoftBug:
I've been working like a crackhead all day trying to make Rip's market stick. The only conclusion I can come up with is that since most of the APK's in this ROM have been de-compiled & modded, when a theme is applied, some things eff up. I've been having the notorious Google Maps/Navigation issue where it NEVER finds your GPS. I though uninstalling with Titanium and re-downloading from the market would solve the issue. And it did... until my next reboot. So if I get lost, I have to crack open TB, remove Gmaps, & re-install from the market. This is getting tedious. But I will not rest until I have found a solution. I've even tried numerous kernels. If anyone is going through something similar and has figured this out, please save my sanity!!
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
no dude... market was untouched.... just images opt.

i would have to say its a sig issue or something like that... if anything.
[EVO 4G Android Development] stricklerjosh:
Man I hope Unrevoked gets fixed soon. I really can't wait to flash this Rom. Also can't wait to see your white theme on this rom.

[EVO 4G Android Development] MicrosoftBug:
Sorry if I'm being a pain in the ass but if it was a sig issue why does the rest of the theme flash ok?? I even re-downloaded & re-flashed the ROM and Rip's theme again after doing all the usual (clear dalvik, clear cache, factory reset). Again, so sorry to pester you on X-Mas Day.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jklong03:
Spend your time developing a truly unique product, support it with responsiveness unlike any other dev, then sit back and let others claim your work for their own. Then you, sir, earn the right to make such an assinine comment!

Till then, we, the supporters of mik's excellent work say simply f*ck off!

Using XDA App, but at least took the time to change this signature!
