Just a second....gotta get my walker...and get out of my easy chair....Ahhh! There ya go!

Ok, what Mik does is so far above "Theming" it is almost an insult to use that phrase and his name in the same sentence!! My suggestion if you want to theme, then PM some of the better guys around (chogardjr comes to mind :)) and see if they will "mentor" you along the way.

As far as getting to Mik's dev level, expect lots of time theming first, then slowly learning how to write scripts, debug other's work, etc...

It's not a 2 month bootcamp to get to his level:). He has, as has been said: "I've been around awhile, you know" (quote from "Scent of a Woman") and got here by baby steps. But rest assured, you too can get there, just do your homework and I look forward to seeing your work in the future!

Gentlemen ... just been lying low and trying to keep up with the continual mass of input, questions, and answers on here (it's become a full time job). Through all of the flashing, mods, and cures, I found my phone acting 'curious.' There were a few stumbles, stalls, and lack of responses although it was still behaving reasonably well. After trying a few things, I finally decided to copy the SD Card, reformat it, and copy back to it. Although it took a little time, the results were well worth it. Everything appears realigned and once again this amazing ROM is functioning without question. Sorry to all if this is 'routine' but haven't seen it mentioned here before and felt compelled to share something.

Well that leaves me out...I'm not experienced. :p

It's all good! I'm not that old really (check out my Profile), just having fun at your expense! Hang in there, you'll get there. I've done a little "theme lite" work, just replacing icons, placements, etc...know just enough to be dangerous and have learned to just ask chogardjr and he will whip up something in 10 minutes that would take me days to do.

Wow. There's no way I'm in the same league as eric and chogard. I can do some little stuff like modify stuff eric did but nothing as major as them.
[EVO 4G Android Development] NHLWil:
FWIW, I rolled back to 4.4, as the last few betas have given me random problems.

On the test version last night, the Market stopped working (server error) and I couldn't get it to work this morning even. I wiped pretty much everything, but still no dice. I suspect it happened when I moved dalvik back to /data, but I'm not certain.

Another thing that's happened a few times is a problem with the pin lock screen being stuck in landscape mode, even though the phone isn't. This results in about 1/3 of the keys being off the screen, so I can't type in the pin to unlock. Twice it's happened when my alarm goes off (I use the clock with the stopwatch). I'm pretty sure the other times it's happened is when the phone was in landscape mode as well.

Also, the rotary lock screen seems to have gone missing. It was there in the first couple/few 4.5 betas.

Minor things I know, and I'm sure things will get worked out. I'm just used to 4.4 being so solid I guess.
[EVO 4G Android Development] joehunni:
I mean the actual rosie image itself, not a full home replacement like ADW or LP?

G-Bread MikFroyo 4.4
[EVO 4G Android Development] DroidGnome:
Custom Internal Partitions - Seems to be working.

Ok for all those app junkies like myself, here's some good news. I have successfully* flashed/restored my MikFroyo 4.4 ROM back onto my device with Custom Internal Partitions.

The process can be found here, but in a nutshell it allows you to repartition the internal space of the device. So instead of having approx 175 megs free in /system that you cannot use, you can reduce it to whatever you feel comfortable with. The same for the /cache folder.

My custom settings at the moment for this ROM (no themes installed, just base ROM and a self-modified services.jar, framework-res, and custom bootanimation) are a 225 meg partition for /system and a 100 meg partition for /cache.

My "mtdpartmap.txt" reads as follows: "mdt 225 100".

Now what did this do exactly? Glad you asked!

PRIOR to Custom Partitioning:

As reported by both SystemPanel and Elixir Apps

NOTE: I have used the "a2sd nocache" to move the cache back to data (due to problems with market when on /cache), and I have a 1GB ext3 partition for the a2sd implimentation.

Location - Size - Free Space (in MB)
/system - 350 - 175.7
/data - 427.6 - 91.7
/cache - 160 - 158.6
/SD card (a2sd) as reported by Titanium - 959 - 666

Notice the 91.7 megs of usable space for apps.

AFTER Partioning

Nothing changed on a2sd, still on /data and still the same ext3 partition

Location - Size - Free Space (in MB)
/system - 225 - 51.4
/data - 612.6 - 276.0
/cache - 100 - 98.2
/SD card (a2sd) as reported by Titanium - 959 - 665
(No clue where that 1mb went haha)

Over double the available space for apps! 276 Megs free still!

So far everything I've tested seems to work in the ohh 45 minutes or so. Phone works, wireless, bluetooth, downloading from market was fine for the updates I had today, SD card seems to function just fine.

I'll be using this setup until something breaks, but based on previous usage of those scripts I don't anticipate any issues (I used it with a stock ROM previously for several weeks without a hitch).

Now.. some might be asking.. "If you use A2SD , why bother?" Well as you can see even A2SD does use up the internal space, all dependant on the apps code. Games seem to be the more notorious offenders of sucking up internal even when using large amounts of the SD. (Many use approx 10-15 internal + over 20 on the SD).

Finally, if you're wondering how many apps does it take to get to this level... well according to Titanium backup, I have approx 166 user apps (145 system, but I added about 3 or 4 to the ROM from the uninstalled folder). Many are tiny little helper apps, but about 30 are games I've acquired over time. Strangely it adds up fast :)

Hope this helps others who are looking for some more space.

I would thank everyone on this thread. Being that I have been a member since evo launch. I have seen alot of good and bad on xda lol. Yes there used to be no thanks button. I have been more of a lurker than a helper now a days. Kinda wife forced lol. For the noobs here, I have never seen such a great group of senior members being so helpful on any thread. I still rollback to my 2.1 frozen eclair rom with jit in koni red on throwback thursdays lol. Aamikim best rom ever period and I have used them all. I still give props to the founders toast, netarchy, cyanagen, fresh, caulkulin, and I am sure I forgot a whole bunch more.

Just flashed beta 5, and I am getting a lockscreen FC. Seemed to have started after I tried the RenderFx widget to see what it did. Now I get this FC randomly. Tried to google RenderFx and found nothing. What is RenderFx? How can I remove it?
[EVO 4G Android Development] luckylui:
I personally dont use it so i dlted mine, its used for like ur flash light like how it high beams it and low beams it and other various things i believe.. if u want u can just use rootexplorer and you can find it in the system/app. From there you should be fine :)

On a side note, Slayer's speedo battery mod (ADDON_R9V9_BlkTskBar_signed_Speedo.zip) works with this rom. It adds blue highlights to some items as well.

I don't understand. You had this on beta1?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Shauli20:
Initial impressions of beta 2 without apps2sd. ROM is smooth as anything. I don't know what's going on with my 4G. Even on your 3.x ROMs I've been getting lately faster speeds on upload than on download. Speed test won't go past 700kbps down. No idea what's going on. But it's no better with this ROM. I easily get over 1mbps up, but barely 700kbps down.???

Sorry put this post in the wrong thread. This Is my first time using this rom and I have to see awesome awesome job op, coming from fresh rom. This is just as fast as my ipad. The only thing I don't particularly care for his all the screen animations. Its making me dizzy lol. Everything else is perfect. I've been putting the rom through the ringer today so far so good. Is there a previous version without the screen animations? Thanks!
[EVO 4G Android Development] TMartin:
This is a classic example of a mod that can have a negative effect on the nature of this ROM. Reason is because this mod would use a different framework-res.apk(a main framework file) adding back a TON of languages therefore creating a larger resources file inside the apk.
[EVO 4G Android Development] TMartin:
I'll post a file for you tomorrow with the stock animations. I also prefer them.
[EVO 4G Android Development] klymptof:
Be that as it may, I am not seeing any change in speed of the rom after installing it.

Is there a chance to get a flashable zip for the semi transparent app drawer like u had in 4.0 or in the final release thanks

Mik,

Still getting force close when trying to go into network settings to turn off always on data. I flashed the 4.2 beta 2 with apps2sd and the flashed 4.2 beta2 and still doing same thing! Rom feels very fast though. I have not had chance to try all apps but will tomorrow.

i can finaly post to this!!! i love your rom guys! its amazing trying to get all my FC's outa the way iv been reading back everything iv tryed there still there =[
[EVO 4G Android Development] jadeboy7:
I think you mean is there a way to remove auto spacing in swype? Then the answer is yes: go to settings>Language & Keyboard>Swype Settings and uncheck auto-spacing.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jadeboy7:
Which version of the blue theme are you using? I know an earlier version had FC issues but I think it has since been fixed.
[EVO 4G Android Development] 4g evo:
Im using the updated one -012811 i had prl 1.90 but i flashed back to 1.77 because of battery draining issues

[EVO 4G Android Development] jadeboy7:
Which app is FCing? A specific one/all/random? Are you running any task killers or memory tweaks?
[EVO 4G Android Development] jadeboy7:
Weird. Can't say I've ever seen that. You type it in straight and it adds its own spaces? I don't think I'm really getting it.

[EVO 4G Android Development] jadeboy7:
+1 on the wipe question. What was the order you flashed? Maybe wipe (factory reset) and follow these instructions to reflash.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ejchis:
Sorry guys. Really stupid question.

I haven't used adb at all since I originally rooted my phone. I have since formatted my computer's hard drive, so nothing is in place anymore, and I'm pretty fuzzy on the process since I haven't used it in so long.

I want to install the optimized version of LP, and I'm trying to remember this adb process and struggling. For some reason, I'm not able to find a tutorial that's dumbed down enough for me.

Could someone either point me to the obvious thread that I'm missing or give me a quick rundown of the best way to do this, please? I thought you could basically push apks through recovery now, but I've never done that either. I'm just a simple flash guy.

Any help at all would be greatly appreciated.
[EVO 4G Android Development] localguyincali:
its no big deal just something i noticed ;)
[EVO 4G Android Development] jadeboy7:
Unless you swype it as one long word, I don't see why swype wouldn't follow it's regular settings and add a space between each word.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jklong03:
Sorry, but you gotta give us more to go on than "it FC's on me"!!:mad:

:confused:...when, when you hit home button, when you reboot, when the Moon is Full, when you car is only 1/2 full of gas???? How he*l are we supposed to know what is causing this issue if we don't know what happens before you experience it. And by the way, it would help if you would let us know what you current configuration is in a SIGNATURE (HINT: see the bottom of my signature of this posting) so we know where you are currently situated in your phone's configuration of hardware and software!
[EVO 4G Android Development] 4g evo:
ok i will try that and see if that works. it gets annoying. should i flash RA recovery and use that other then clockwork mod?
[EVO 4G Android Development] jadeboy7:
Perhaps this post will help. If you have the .apk in the same directory as adb already then you can skip the "adb pull" line. Let me know if you get it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jadeboy7:
Personal preference but most of us prefer Amon_RA.
[EVO 4G Android Development] chogardjr:
Yes I would suggest it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] 4g evo:
Ok will do! thanks guys! keep up the good work il try this and then report back
[EVO 4G Android Development] jadeboy7:
He does have a sig.....:confused: and he mentioned that sense FC's. It's not full info but better than a lot of other questions we get.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jklong03:
If you have the SDK reinstalled on your computer (hopefully, it will serve you well in the future) or not,

take a look at my post here

and see if that answers your questions. Just substitute the "name and path" of the file you are trying to push if using adb, or else just make sure to follow the directions for setting the permissions if you copy and paste it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jklong03:
Don't get me wrong, was not in "attack mode" just saying the more details the better. Saying "sense F/C's on me" or whatever gives me no idea if you mean on boot, after exiting an app and returning home, after leaving settings and returning home, etc....see what I mean??

[EVO 4G Android Development] cetac:
Sounds to me like Swype is being too good at it's predictions and thinks you typoed and forgot to space so it adds it in for you.

I don't use it but maybe there is a setting to adjust that??
[EVO 4G Android Development] jadeboy7:
I agree but a general question get a general answer of "wipe and try again".
[EVO 4G Android Development] jadeboy7:
Possible. When I saw it, he had one which is how I knew he had the blue theme. Moving on..... It sounds like something is killing off sense similar to aaron's issue the last few days.

Edit: This would have been a more specific guess had I know that extra bit of info (sense FC after exiting apps).
[EVO 4G Android Development] cetac:
Perhaps your phone does not like more havs....just a thought.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jklong03:
Ok, that gives us a starting place...and by the way, it is ok to use complete sentences here...I assume you are at a computer since your posting doesn't have the typical "XDA app" signature tagline at the bottom...

Now, running a partitioned sd card and apps2sd or just plain jane MikFroyo? And by the way, your signature doesn't say what version of MikFroyo you are using.

In either case, does running

a2sd check

return a screen that seems like it is OK? Or do you get warnings about not being able to mount a partition, or "need to run a2sd repair" or anything like that??

Let me know where we are and we can get this fixed.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ejchis:
Thank you for pointing me to this. Hopefully this is helpful for me. Should execute be checked for any of the permission settings?
[EVO 4G Android Development] a senile fungus:
Even back when you were running the stock Sprint ROM?
