I have one more suggestion. Not sure why it has solved problems but right after flashing MikFroyo, before reboot and without wiping, flash another kernel like netarchy's 4.3.1 cfs then reboot. Again if it hangs in the white screen pull battery and reboot normally.

This would be better asked tomorrow when all the minds are on together so we can throw ideas at each other. I am surprised this thread hasn't gone silent yet for the night.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ccaudio1:
heres what im using.. well atleast the service jar portion.

no battery no clock

The framework is not optimized so just delete the framework-res.apk and sign the zip. Then you can share it with the world.

I wanted to drop a quick note on a new convert, moving from winmo land. I have to say this forum is a lively as any winmo I have seen.

Thanks to all of you for the great info and the humor along the way.

Return to lurker status until clue is received.

yea.. this was the original zip. since then i used MIK's framework and use the modified service.jar for my phone so i didnt loose the optimization...

ill get one up when i get home from work today.

I think the guy above me was trying to point out that this thread would do much better if people didn't make it into their personal blog.

It could turn into Myn's thread. And that place is filled with random posts and locals who think they know everything.

Oh and anyone come from Myn's? How is the experience coming from that rom to this rom?
[EVO 4G Android Development] mitchellvii:
Thanks. You'll notice that the weekends tend to be a litttle more casual with some idle crosstalk. During the week things are more businesslike. In that way this thread imitates life.

We appreciate all the new folks joining us. Couple ways to make sure you get your questions answered:

1) Put your setup in your signature so we don't have to ask.

2) Be humble. Don't complain about how we do things here until you've been here for a while and earned the right to have an opinion on that.

3) We don't flame new people that ask silly questions. We either answer them or redirect them to the OP. Yelling at stupid people doesn't make them less stupid, it just makes them angry. The only thing worse than a stupid person is an angry stupid person.

4) If you feel that someone has insulted you, take the argument to pm's.

5) If you are a person who is given to using profanity as your favorite adjectives, work on that. People will think you are smarter and give you more respect if you use good English. It's not a moral issue, its a matter of class.

6) Read the OP and linked documents before asking questions here. If you start asking questions already answered there you will annoy the natives. Don't be lazy then expect us to work hard for you.

7) If you think you are smart, prove it by answering people's questions, not by spewing attitude.

8) Identify who the top experts are - look at their "thank-you's", and read their signatures. The information you seek may already be there.

9) If someone helps you out, click their "Thanks" button. You'll encourage them to help you again next time.

10) If you like MikFroyo, take a minute to rate the thread at the top of the page.

[EVO 4G Android Development] jklong03:
Note to all "when is 4.5 going to be final?" lurkers out there:

Never let any of aamikam's "betas" scare you from flashing! If you hang around awhile, follow mitchellvii's excellent post a few posts ago about how to enjoy the forum, and try the "latest beta" you will be suprised how smooth your Mikexperience will go.

MikFroyo (in any incarnation, beta or not) is never released into the public until Mik (the dev, aamikam) has THOUROUGHLY scrubbed it beforehand. You will notice we don't have any Beta 5.1.1 type of postings by Mik. Thats because he doesn't make one little tweak, call it a new version and then release it to the hounds for us to find problems. Thats just not how he rolls! In fact, there are many out there in MikLand who are sitting on a beta and are just happy as can be and don't see the need to upgrade until a final release is made. That should tell you the betas are almost always completely bug free, everything works and they are running the "beta" as their daily drivers and have been for some time.

So I say, don't worry about the "next new release", c'mon in, the water's fine! Grab the latest beta, flash it and enjoy it now!
[EVO 4G Android Development] serdna75:
Noob question: What's the difference between Beta 5 and Beta 5-test?

Forgive me if this was discussed already; I could find anything specific about it in the last 100 pages or so.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mitchellvii:
No worries. In layman's terms, Mik has decompressed a few things to see if it would make the overall experience faster. Many of us here believe that it is better. Worth a flash.
[EVO 4G Android Development] zeemann77:
How true it is!

3) We don't flame new people that ask silly questions. We either answer them or redirect them to the OP. Yelling at stupid people doesn't make them less stupid, it just makes them angry. The only thing worse than a stupid person is an angry stupid person. :eek:

+1 Mitch, +1 :D
[EVO 4G Android Development] jklong03:
Absolutely zero change in functionality, just a tweak to the way he is optimizing the system. Both are very smooth and enjoyable, but IMHO if you are just getting started, go ahead with the Beta-5-test. No one has had any problems to report with that one.

Flashing Update:

With the latest beta, I have been able to do:

1) Full Wipe (including system & boot)

2) Flash Beta

3) Flash Kernel

4) Flash 4.4 Theme

5) Flash Font

... all in one session without issues.

P.S., Here is the new dock background I am using. It can be used with LauncherPro or the latest version of ADW Ex.

** If anyone wants some Text Icons like the ones I am using here made, just PM me a list and I'll see if I can whip a few up for you. Be reasonable :) (I've attached the icons you see on the screenshot)

[EVO 4G Android Development] WhiteiceDMSTech:
So a weird problem today.

I had my alarm set to go off today. It did, however, there was no option to turn it off/snooze it. I even went into the alarm setting and unchecked it then checked it again but no luck. So I rebooted it.

Now when it reboots, it just sits at the HTC EVO 4G white screen and won't boot up now?

*EDIT* Well I just ended up doing a wipe and reinstall. Hopefully this doesn't happen again.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jklong03:
I've been using a .zip for a long time with all the versions of MikFroyo and with chogardjr's Blue Theme and it works well. It has, from left to right: GPS:Wifi:4G:Bluetooth:Flashlight:Vibrate

What program are you using for your alarm clock?

Pull battery. Wipe cache & dalvik and reboot.
[EVO 4G Android Development] WhiteiceDMSTech:
Just the regular built in one.

I have a question with your advice, if I were to Wipe Cache and Dalvik and reboot, what exactly is that doing? Apparently that does not wipe the rom since you didn't say to reinstall, so what is it those two options do for me?

Thank you,

[EVO 4G Android Development] mitchellvii:
By wiping those, you are allowing the phone to rebuilt all it's references to your applications and clearing out any bugs that may be causing your problem.

Your reboot after wiping those will take a while.
[EVO 4G Android Development] bjevers:
Unable to scan for networks

aamikam - I was wondering if you had any idea what is causing the problem with WiFi some of us are having after flashing the newest betas without doing a data wipe? I usually just wipe cache and dalvik and am good to go. But ever since 4.5 Beta 4 my WiFi doesn't work unless I do a full data wipe. I researched the problem a little and saw solutions that said to delete a file called bcm_supp.conf located in data/wifi. I don't have that folder on my phone and I could not located that file anywhere else either. I am wiping cache and dalvik in AmonRa 2.3b4, flashing the beta, then flashing the kernel in my sig before restarting. It also happened when I didn't flash a kernel and just used the included HTC #15.

Thanks for any suggestions.

Are you using the rotary lockscreen? If you are you can't use the regular alarms or what you described will happen. You need to use the clock app that gets installed when you flash the the rotary lock. Chogardjr's rotary lockscreen is setup so if you hit the clock it automatically takes you to the clock app so you don't accidently set the wrong alarm.

[EVO 4G Android Development] chogardjr:
I am looking for more ideas. I can make the same rosie as above with the app drawer in the middle and the phone on the left. Wasn't sure what everyone wanted.

FYI to those that didn't have a 4x5 layout and flashed this new rosie, I have a fixed one for you because as you probably saw your sense widgets are all cut off.
[EVO 4G Android Development] selders59:
Ahhh but they are excellent suggestions!
[EVO 4G Android Development] Nygel:
just a question:, just wiping cache and dalvik; is that not the lazy way of wiping?

Just curious because I was told that instead of knowing all the files needed to delete them 1 by 1, and going and performing the process, in the end you are still performing a full wipe but the long way.
[EVO 4G Android Development] live2ride96:
Funny you should mention that actually. One of the reasons I requested the particular rosie you just put up is because I've gotten used to using sense's layout over the past few months. I had a Nexus for about 6 months, and an Epic for about 2 months. I used to LOVE the drawer icon in the middle, and I refused to even use Touchwiz (what a pile), but when I got my Evo I thought I'd hate the drawer being on the left. Now I love it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] 4redstars:
It's more a choice than anything. If I'm switching between devs (Calk to Mik or Myn to Ricsim) I do a full wipe. but if I'm going from beta to beta of the same dev's rom I usually just wipe dalvik and cache...I have had the same wifi issues as reported above and had to do a full wipe with the newest beta...

But I don't think it's a bug or problem with the rom mainly because it has to do with flashing and not to do with the functionality of the rom. Each rom needs to be judged after a full wipe or a fresh installation, not after a dalvik and cache...

When flashed properly it works just fine.

Yes I can do that. I need to know if you still want to have the warp look on the end buttons if it was clear? Transparent I wouldn't need to mess with that but clear might look funny. Or you can just leave it to me.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jklong03:
Yes it is automated in 4.5 (ever since BetaII I believe, somewhere around there)

Not sure if you were complaining about the speed or not? Seriously, it was hard to tell if you were reporting a good or a bad thing.:confused:
[EVO 4G Android Development] doorpz:
Yeah, that's one of the options under the rotary lockscreen. Check your app drawer for an app called Clock which has a white analog clock face for the icon. When it opens it should be the time and date at the top and 4 icons on the bottom, hit the alarm icon on the bottom left then set your alarms from there.

You should also have an app in the app drawer called Lockscreen Options that has a padlock for it's icon. If you go in there you can add the phone and messaging sliders to your lockscreen or change over to the rotary locksreen. If I remember correctly you need to do a reboot or a hot restart for any changes to take affect.

Can you make it without the word "phone" in the center? If you can do that could you do it to the stock one also?
[EVO 4G Android Development] chogardjr:
I like it and don't use anything else. I would have to package up all the widgets with the rosie if you went the 4x5 route because of the sense widgets are all resized(thanks amikam). But I also noticed that if you use this rosie mod you will lose all your sleek glass icons. The only thing I could do to keep what you have as much as possible is give you the rosie without the resources.apk because the resources has the bar and the rosie has the rosie icons.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ifly4vamerica:
Morning all! Well afternoon I guess, but I just got my lazy butt out of bed so it's morning for me.

Hey Chog, for modifying the theme to match the new beta what are your thoughts on just swapping the classes.dex files in the mooded .apk's? I was going to change all the .png's but thought just moving the dex files might work too. I'll probably tray an .apk or two with the dex swap just for grins. If they are just decompressed should work right? Was just wondering what your thoughts were on this.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mitchellvii:
Hmmm, they are transparent .png files. Don't know what to tell you on that.
[EVO 4G Android Development] chogardjr:
You can do that and see if it will work. I wish I knew which .dex files he uncompressed so you don't go off changing all of them. I am still waiting for him to say final before I go in and do the swapping. I can't keep up with him, he works too fast and a lot more than I do. If I were to guess which .dex files he changed it would have to be any if not all of these three, rosie; framework-res; com.htc.resources apk's.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mitchellvii:
For those of us who are running ext3 partitions with a swap file. You can activate the swap in a2sd using the following commands:

adb:

adb shell
a2sd reswap
a2sd swappy10

terminal:

su
a2sd reswap
a2sd swappy10
[EVO 4G Android Development] ifly4vamerica:
Thats what I was going to start with but now that you mention it I may wait for a "final" myself. Thanks for the input.

[EVO 4G Android Development] mitchellvii:
If it says it is already going then it likely is. However, the "swappy10" command is the one you use to set the "swappiness" of the swap file (how often it swaps). "10" is the recommended number. I am not sure if that is set by default; however, setting it yourself cannot hurt anything.
