I concur, the app2sd does feel faster, plus since in the betas i had switched to the one without, when I went back to the final app2sd, I only had to restore 4 programs. Now I have to decide if I want to remove sense again
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
im not noticing anything strange... but i did do what i told u about... revert the option.

i think that u might be feeling maybe u feeling it like that cuz the taskbar icons change from beta 1 and 2.

i adjusted the colors to match more... and i know i took it down a little.. so maybe thats what gives u that feeling.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mitchellvii:
Ok, cool. Could just be my old eyes playing tricks on me.

** You took all the colors down or just the taskbar icon colors?
[EVO 4G Android Development] tyler.durden:
Lol, not quite....I stay up late anyway usually. Just got over the flu and that really threw off my sleep schedule since I spent a lot of time in bed sleeping. Past few days I'm wide awake all night. Before I'd be to bed by like 2, now its more like 6!

So apps2sd is faster? What if we don't actually do the whole apps2sd process to make it work, is it still faster?
[EVO 4G Android Development] mitchellvii:
IMHO yeah.
[EVO 4G Android Development] skyline247:
Actually, no, it's more than a phone, its an extension into the world beyond, and with aamikam's new ROM, it's a BEAST! :D (Do you know of any rehab that offers help to those with RFS? -ROM Flasher's Syndrome?)

Great work aamikam. Thanks bunches! Will report any bugs.
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
ohhhh.... so thats what u mean... my eng is f'd up.

ok... yes i did... i even said it i think...

but the icons also yes.

im posting screenshots of the rom and then im making the zip for u guys real quick.

edit:

yes i know... the screen shots cameout huge...
[EVO 4G Android Development] johnpucillo:
I don't post too often but I gotta give props where props are due. You really took it to the house on this one bro. The speed has made my EVO more responsive than it has ever been. It's instant gratification, which I am all about. I've run your roms in the past and loved the detox theme so I am really looking forward to the theme release. Top shelf work bro keep it up
[EVO 4G Android Development] breakinghbts:
Ok, i didn't see your response until just now... I am currently trying a fresh install of the rom... We'll see if that fixes it...

I re-read this thread, doesn't seem like anyone else is having this issue. I will read the recommended thread if my qikfix doesn't work. I really like this rom, and don't want to have to switch. You do great work. I have hardware v3 if that means anything. Hopefully I'll be able to figure this out, i will report back, thanks for your help.
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
thanks for the kind words man... i dont doubt myself... but ill be honest.. i dont have the knowledge as all the dev's here do... i just think of something, try it... and 9 out of 10 i get lucky and it works perfect.

and since i always know exactly what i do... i can find ways to fix it back up if it doesn't.

now.. im reverting the drawing methods back cuz i know it doesn't really matter if i keep the new ones or the old ones... either way it will still work the same.

the mistake i think i made initially was to remove files from packages, that almost always will change the image hex values somehow when the apk is being rebuild (that assumption was proven right cuz thats why Rosie was messed up to begin with).

now... removing mdpi files and folder is ok... cuz they show up with the same hex values and the pick of using one or the other is done by the phone (kinda...), so if the phone will always pick "hdpi"... no need to keep them in.

one more quick thing... im a big calk fan... i always say that... i noticed that he took out of his framework-res file in his new rom all the languages besides English (i think i inspired him on this)... but the funny part is that the resources.arsc file is almost half the size of mine... and i only kept Spanish in it also... this tells me that removing spanish also might actually make a bigger diff than what i think it can... but that will be added later on, first i wanna get it 100% working to a point where no one can find an issue unless its not related to my ROM.
[EVO 4G Android Development] CheesyNutz:
being a CM 6 lover ! i was kinda yea right this rom can't be that fast ... i was DEAD WRONG ! this rom is blazing ! GREAT work !

i would love to see you add the mms tweaks from calk !
[EVO 4G Android Development] lazyboy0172:
just wanted to post my input here:

Love the ROM. it's fast, generally stable and does everything I need a ROM to do. I flashed SBC kernel as well and with your rom I've gone down 25% in 12 hours. I'm superbly impressed. Also, your ingenuity reminds me of good ol' windows mobile days. I loved those days.

As far as languages go- No complaints here. English only would be neat, English and Spanish may be useful every once in a blue moon, all others are kind of in the vast minority. Just wanted to put my input on that debate.

One minor bug:

flashing the rosie pinch/zoom fix on the OP broke my news widget. Now the widget takes up about a quarter of the screen and has some strange symbols in the other 3 quarters. I was using the full page news widget. for now I just trashed the widget and use the news app, which works fine.

Thanks again for the terrific experience!
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
im happy u like.

btw... i thought i fixed that widget... i had that issue with it before but i was sure that issue was gone.

well... ill get it now for sure.
[EVO 4G Android Development] tyler.durden:
Calk fan here as well...I have mainly used his ROMs over the last few months as they are smooth and stable. I just flashed this one last night and so far it has been AWESOME Mik. It runs very fast and very smooth. I knew you were on to something good with all this...and sounds like Calk did as well, lol...

I know you mentioned you only wanted people to say if they wanted to keep Spanish, but I'm just gonna say that you should definitely take it out on the next release, and see what happens. You can always just leave the one up now for those that still want Spanish.
[EVO 4G Android Development] MILH0U5E:
Which SBC kernel did you use? So many to pick from, but wanted to see what users of this ROM were using.
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
if i had the energy... i would make every rom be language specific... just cuz the mem usage is really 10 times smaller if u use my method of opt...

make it 100% personal.

but thats a little unrealistic... i think u saw that there was a guy asking about why the Chinese is not working for him... so im pretty sure more things like this would come.

but ill take those in by request.

i think sprint users kinda split... most of the users are only english... but spanish is also a big part... all the rest is kinda here and there.

so i have to keep at least spanish on this release... atleast until i get it 100% working.

than ill start to customize it and such.

adding or removing a language is easy... but still means i gotta recompile and decompile all the apks... and thats a lot of work to do... especially since while rebuilding the apks all the images optimization goes away... so i gotta copy over the opt images into the apk (thats cuz i only use apktool for rec/dec).

anyways... the Eng only version will come only when i finish making it for myself.

another quick note for u guys... remember that i am technically making this rom for myself... so even though i almost always try to make sure everyone is happy, im also allowed to keep some unhappy people... after all no one is paying me for this and money is the last thing im after here.
[EVO 4G Android Development] christian1818:
I admire your work but I have a problem. I try installing this Rom and all I get is a HTC boot logo over and over. I clear all before installing. I'm goin nuts cause I WAN to try your Rom. and old one didn't have a problem.

After a complete wipe and reflash I am up and running with no issues, thanks for all the help, this ROM is super fast, great work MIK !!!!!!!
[EVO 4G Android Development] mike6200:
I have a lot of programs on my phone now. I use tb to put and run them on my card. Will i be able to do this with this rom? Thanks and I like all the reviews. Cant wait to try.
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
i was thinking about adding apps2sd... but i dont use it... so i never even tried to add it yet.

i would love to know if any of u guys object to having apps2sd... i know most of u guys would love that... but u can always add it yourself.

like i said... i personally dont use or see the need for it.... but if no one objects to me adding it to the rom... i probably will.
[EVO 4G Android Development] awileycoyote21:
Love your work. Loved your last rom and this one is great too! New to this rooting and stuff but i do know how to make a donation!:D
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
i really dont know how to help on this... if u wiped everything it should be ok...

maybe u had a bad d/l or maybe u just gotta use RA and not CW... not sure on this.

try with RA... if that wont work... try redownloading it.

Thank u very much... im also always happy when a user comes out the closet and post something.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mike6200:
Thanks for your hard work. I dont understand why anyone would ant to put apps on phone instead of card. The more apps on phone the slower it goest right? Also can I do this with Titanium backup or do I need to use apps2sd. Ive found TB can put more on the card and still be used than apps2sd. Thanks again and you made a follower out of me.
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
as far as i know if your sd card is slow... apps2sd can just make everything worse for u... thats why i never used it... or thought it was a really good idea.

but, with that said... i dont really know how it works... if u have to have all apps on sd or u can pick and choose and such.

i have more than enough space on my device.... thats why i never even thought of it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] SITH16:
Aamikam, would the 3d gallery need to be optimized to add it into this?
[EVO 4G Android Development] breakinghbts:
I went through that thread, installed the remove under voltage tweaks zip, and all is well again. Thanks for you help. Keep up the good work!
[EVO 4G Android Development] tyler.durden:
From what I've gathered, people have said that an SD card can actually work faster than the phone itself, if its a Class 6, which I happen to have in my phone. I have never used the app2sd that is out. I've only used the stock froyo one so I can't say whether there is a noticeable advantage. I would like to try it out though, and have no objection to you adding it into the ROM itself. I already have an ext partition setup on my card anyway.
[EVO 4G Android Development] tyler.durden:
You're the man, Mik. Thanks again
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
dude... u can use the apps2sd version... without using apps2sd.

that not a problem.
[EVO 4G Android Development] tonwarr.the.incredible:
Hate isn't in my vocabulary, and especially not in regards to you. We all have to get by somehow man! :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] mitchellvii:
Am running the App2SD version but can't find the App2SD .apk. Is it called something else or buried in some other utility?

What is "eng"? Is that where the color saturation/contrast is set?

** Hmmm, I looked in the Custom SpareParts app and there is a mention of Apps2SD and whether we want to run the "old" version and also if we want to place dalvik cache on sdcard. Hmmm, so I am confused here. Where do I actually move apps to sd?
[EVO 4G Android Development] tyler.durden:
I know, I just didn't think there would be a speed advantage without actually utilizing the apps2sd program....but I will take your word that its faster and try it out.

Edit: also, you makin the flat black a separate flashable zip or is it gonna be a full themed ROM download?
[EVO 4G Android Development] willsurg:
what was explained to me about the app2sd version is that it is in the rom its self. It will automatically move programs to the SD card, if you have the SD card formated properly. You should not, like I did in my case, go searching for the app2sd program in the market and run it as you create duplicate programs and fill the sd card with wasted data.
[EVO 4G Android Development] tyler.durden:
Lol, I mentioned that back on 4.1 I think and Mik said DO NOT touch those spare parts settings as they only apply to the Nexus one.

The apps2sd is the dark tremors one I believe, which is a whole complex mess of steps to actually use.
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
here is the flat black theme... keep in mind that i didnt do anything more than change a couple of icons and make all the rounded black into simply black.

ill try to post screens for it in a few also and ill add it to the 3rd post.

[EVO 4G Android Development] skyline247:
You have to d/load a terminal emulator. Once downloaded, enter into terminal emulator and type "su" (without quotes). This will bring up superuser permissions - allow. Then type "a2sd check" (again without quotes). It should show that apps run from sd card, and private apps run from sd card, but not dalvik cache.

Me personally, I always run the apps and dalvik from sd card. (I have a high class-high speed card) I have to type a2sd cachesd reset to run dalvik from sd, and usually have to type a2sd reinstall to make sure a2sd apps are on card. Hope that helps. If not, search on here for tkirton a2sd, or a2sd help, you should find more than you need.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mitchellvii:
Well, I am running the Apps2SD version and did a Titanium Restore and it restored the apps to my internal memory so something is farked here. How do I move them?
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
u can touch it... but its actually made for the nexus one... so not everything will work right.
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
i wish i could help u on that... but i dont use it myself... so i dont know.

i will say though that if u using the sdcard that came with the phone... u probably dont want to do that cuz its probably a class 2... which will end up slowing things down for u.

but, there are old android users here that knows more than me... so i might be wrong... especially since im not using it myself.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mitchellvii:
Oh, I see the problem. My SDCard is formatted to run ext4 and this version of Apps2SD doesn't support ext4 so it wants me to reformat my sdcard (ugh). Gawd, what a pain the arse. Did the ext 4 to be Gingerbread ready. Oh well, Gingerbread is over-rated anyway (IMHO). Back to ext2.
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
do u guys like the new clock i made?

im gonna post the older black one i made and the original also... but im really wondering how u guys like the new creation.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mitchellvii:
No I have a Class6 16 GB card. The oem one crapped out 2 months ago.

[EVO 4G Android Development] tyler.durden:
Flat black looks freakin sweet man! Thanks a ton! Only thing missing is the clear lockscreen but I can wait on that no big deal.

Knowing a little about Linux, ext4 is the latest and greatest file system and supposed to be the fastest yet. Not sure why they didn't update Android to ext4 sooner since it has been out for well over a year and a half now I believe. But hey, I guess if it won't work for the apps2sd then no reason to have your card partitioned. I also have a class 6 16gb. May not ever take advantage of the ext filing though unfortunately

P.S. new clock is nice mik and does fit better :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] mitchellvii:
I kind of need the apps2sd thing because I'm kind of an app whore and I have some business apps that are BIG and eat my internal memory.

I use my phone to make a living so it's important that it is fast and flawless. However, I do think I intentionally screw things up on it occasionally just so I have an excuse to play with it.

[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
u reminded me...

i do need to make two versions of the clear lock screen now.

ohh well... it only takes a sec to do.

now... the next thing that will come up sunday i hope... would be everything thats u see right now in black... should be white.

that was my original theme that i made for my old roms.. but this time ill try to kick it up a notch.

i like to believe i did the same with the theming of 4.3... which took a lot of time and effort.. but hey... i think i got 90% of the grapichs changed (not including weather stuff and icons) to be originally mine... so i have to assume it is something new on the table for all u guys that used to use my old roms and the new guys joining in.

Great job on the ROM, this is actually my 2nd ROM I have installed on my phone that I have got to work correctly, not that others are bad, just not to my liking. I have question about my kernal version. I currently have

2.6.32.17-gee557fd

htc-kernal@and18-2 #15

should I update to a differnt kernal with your v4.3? I'm have the following ...

[EVO 4G Android Development] deck82:
If updating from 4.2 to 4.3 should I still wipe all date or is wiping cache and dalvik cache enough since I'm already running a pervious version for MikFroyo?

[EVO 4G Android Development] mitchellvii:
Where is this "preferences" of which you speak?
[EVO 4G Android Development] mitchellvii:
Ugh,

This Apps2SD version is giving me a migraine.

I am running into exactly the same issue I had when trying to use this in beta III. There are 62 apps that REFUSE to restore from Titanium no matter what I do. It say they are restoring but they don't restore.

VERY annoying as I can think of no possible cause for this.

Screw it. Back to the non-App2SD version. I'll just migrate things manually.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jauger:
Titanium Backup Preferences....
[EVO 4G Android Development] mitchellvii:
Hmm, could these also be causing my apps not to re-install?

As far as I can tell, all this Dark Tremors thing does for me is automate the process already done by the Apps2SD .apk.
[EVO 4G Android Development] deck82:
I've been using MyBackup Root for reinstalling app plus app data and setting. I find it alot easier than Titanium. You can also to a separate backup of mms, sms, call log, and system settings.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jauger:
Froyo app2sd isnt the same thing as apps2sd, people get em confused, in adb shell run a2sd check, make sure apps & private apps are set to run from Int. Storage & ya might wanna run Dalvik from cachepart ( my preference)..in Titanium if you are having problems click each backup and restore one at a time,if it wont restore then longhold on the backup and open in Market and redownload that way
[EVO 4G Android Development] mitchellvii:
Geesh, that's a 10.0 on the hassle-0-meter.

Whats the difference between running dalvik from the cachepart and just from the sdcard? Is the cachepart on the sdcard? If I just select "Place Dalvik on SDCard" from the enhanced SpareParts will that work just the same as running the code?
