[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
k man... thanks for letting me know its doable.

now... to my second point.

the reason the rom is so fast is because i did take out languages from it.... thats the only thing that really makes the diff here.

if i put back all the languages it will just become another rom... with not too many things that makes it shine except a theme or an animation.

i have no problem putting in languages back by requests... but u have to understand that without taking out languages the whole optimization is really pointless.

i do understand that people in america dont only speak spanish and english... i am one of those people (i speak hebrew).

the main reason i took Chinese out is cuz it wasn't even a default option in the menu.

now... if u want i dont mind adding it specially for u... or for anyone else who will ask for a diff language support.

but u have to see why i even did it to begin with.

now... for your questions... which im sorry i missed... i was just shocked to see someone putting a diff language on the UI with it not being a default option.

market and such... i really dont know how to solve it cuz its all working here and i think no-one else had an issue.

as for the 4g toggle.. look up jschisurf powr widgets... all the options and how to change it are listed on his mod thread.

one quick question for u though... u not in the US r u?

or am i wrong.
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
i will make a default 100% working with Spanish first... than ill make a non spaish version... im not sure how much more good it will do though.

originally i took out support for like 30 diff languages... so im not sure how taking out one more would really make a diff... but ill do it anyways.

edit:

judging by the fact that there has been over 1000 d/l just to v4.0 and only 42 votes were given... i can easily tell that most people either dont care or just didnt see it yet.
[EVO 4G Android Development] killhr:
Hey Mik you have done it again wow great rom and as far as the spanish i say take it out
[EVO 4G Android Development] souless poet:
If I add the moded drop down notification with customized buttons will I lose any of ur optimizations?
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
only for the framework-res file... which is a tiny difference cuz its only one file.

i think that i missed out on telling u guys one of the big changes... basically apps running in the background now uses much much less RAM than any other rom that is not based on my opt... but if u just replace the framework-res file it wont make such a huge diff... so go for it.

keep in mind that eventually i will probably make that version of the widgets the default cuz i dont really like the one that up in the rom now anyways.
[EVO 4G Android Development] RedhddOne:
I am loving the speed of this ROM so far! I am just having one problem:

Is it just me or is Chrome to Phone not working on this ROM? I am actually using the Chrome Browser and know that everything is setup properly.
[EVO 4G Android Development] souless poet:
Cool. Loving this rom. This plush launcher pro plus and battery life kernal equals perfection. Looking forward to themes. Great work. Getting 41 mflops on lonpack.
[EVO 4G Android Development] scoobdude:
Thanks, so far this is nice. I will test the BT some on the drive home.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ejc1214:
Hi Mik,

I took the plunge and tried the your re-engineered stock ROM and they upgraded to this by wiping cache and Delvik only and it seem to be working well. Thanks for all you work.

My question is, I read where you said you might keep stock kernel from now on, have you tried Kings #11 on this? I like the way the other ROM was working on it and wonder is it would work without major issues. I guess I could always flash it and the go back to stock if I have issues. I should be able to flash the stock kernel from the kernel/radio thread right? I think I have Kings#11 downloaded on my PC.

Thanks.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ryanalan82:
I'm using king bfs11 with no problems at all. The only thing I ran into was that I put set cpu to conservative and clocked to 1152 and it was staying maxed at 1152. So I just installed setcpu, rebooted, reinstalled, and set it back up with no profiles like before and it all good. I can't even believe the browser is even smoother than b4...........what can I say, perfection! And always fully wipe b4 putting a rom on, always cause us never know what problems u just haven't found cause you might not have tried everything on the phone yet, it's just the safest way to cut down on problems.

Swyped from my Evo
[EVO 4G Android Development] finsmaniac02:
Is it too late for me to ask that you don't "back down" on the modifying?

I say this because this rom is so freakin fast and smooth and I am experiencing no problems. If you know that the "fix" to most problems is to put some png's in there that are 0 bytes, and to add some different "draw" code in (that you had taken out) then maybe you could do that stuff on a case by case basis? (i.e. go ahead and cook in the pinching/rosie fix and the bluetooth fix, but wait until there is another prob that needs fixed before you add the rest back in).

I just don't like seeing you doubt yourself, what you have done is A) GENIUS and B)just shows that you put so much effort in to get this how it is. It runs AWESOME. I don't want to lose that because you are upset that it wasn't QUITE perfect lol.

Anyways, maybe the small png's and undoing the coding tweaks won't hurt our performance too bad.. just don't want to lose it.

I have followed your other rom since before you started on the white widgets and everything you have done has been awesome. You put a lot of time in and are very attentive when people have issues. Doing this on top of EE (I also was an EE major) is just nuts; don't doubt yourself man :-)

Anyways, I am sure what you do next will be great too. Just wanted to throw my 2 cents in on maybe just "fixing" things case by case instead of undoing a lot of the optimizing that you have already done.

Thanks so much for your hard work!
[EVO 4G Android Development] rileyd5:
running great on my end. Also the latest htc 15 kernel works just about perfect imo. Battery life is significantly better that previous otas and fps are still unlocked. Not the quickest kernel as per quads and such, but it works very well.

I flashed a cop on the way to work. Now my apps won't load and there's some big dude in my cell looking at me funny :(
[EVO 4G Android Development] raybudd:
This is a themed rom and the other is just the base rom
[EVO 4G Android Development] killhr:
I keep wondering if its the difference in the way i apply my rom or my type of phone because i havent had any problems which others are talking about here and i use most of what they use i.e.. tb gps,4g,maps etc.. but anyway Mik thanks for another great beta cant wait til your done with finish version
[EVO 4G Android Development] mitchellvii:
Fun little utility...

If you are like me you have a long list of widgets. When you want to place one on your homescreen it can be a drag scrolling down through the list.

This .apk simply consolidates your widgets into groups of the same type. Makes your list much shorter and easier to navigate. The write-up about it is here:

And here is how it looks when you are done:

whats the benefit of this one over the 1.8 version just curious thanks
[EVO 4G Android Development] mitchellvii:
Well, lots of stuff. One of the biggest is that you can now flash from sub-folders and not just /sdcard/. Just more user friendly.
[EVO 4G Android Development] dukins:
I actually prefer 1.8 because I dont have to scroll through a ton of options to get where I want. And it takes a God awful amount of time to backup and restore. I will be sticking with 1.8 for awhile until there is an upgrade.

Now back to mik rom, Im nervous about flashing the 4.3 beta. Im not really a theme type of person but something in my lil pea brain is telling me to try it try it lol. :D
[EVO 4G Android Development] killhr:
Thats what i was wondering and thats one thing i didnt like about clock and as far as beta 3 its sick but Mik said the finished version should be out today or atleast he wants it to be done by today
[EVO 4G Android Development] Shauli20:
There are a number of differences. Read the change log in Amon_RA's OP.

Some of the key changes:

You no longer need all the zip files in the root of your SD card. The new recovery has a file browser to allow for you to flash any zip file in any folder on your SD card.

You now have the ability to choose which partitions you want to backup in Nandroid.

And more...

[EVO 4G Android Development] mitchellvii:
Right now, IMHO, AmonRa 2.2.1 is a superior recovery to clockwork.

Faster Navigation (fewer clicks)

More Reliable Wiping

Superior Partitioning (up to ext4)

Better Compatibility w/ Earlier 2.2 .Zips
[EVO 4G Android Development] jadeboy7:
I thought aamikam only started themeing this rom in 4.3+, not 4.2?
[EVO 4G Android Development] loumoli:
Is 4.3 themed? could someone post up some screen shots?
[EVO 4G Android Development] raybudd:
Plus the latest v2.2.1 update reduces backup time
[EVO 4G Android Development] raybudd:
These roms are 4.3 betas so technically the last release is still current at 4.2 until the final 4.3 is released later today.
[EVO 4G Android Development] raybudd:
I'm sure someone will post screenshots after 4.3 is released. Just think of a stock rom but mostly black. If you search this thread, a couple of people have posted screenshots of their phones running 4.3 beta x.
[EVO 4G Android Development] raybudd:
+1. My nand backups have been alot quicker, plus it verifies you have 500MB available for the backup file.
[EVO 4G Android Development] doorpz:
If somebody on any of the 4.3 beta's could test Hdmi out, that would be much appreciated. I'm on 4.2 and my phone locks up whenever I try to use the hdmi out. The movie will keep playing but the phone won't respond to any inputs, have to battery pull to get it to stop. I'm just going to wait until the final 4.3 is done before I flash over but just wanted to see if anybody else is having hdmi out issues on the betas.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jadeboy7:
I realize that. I was under the impression that 4.2 is NOT themed which is why I was wondering what the difference between that and his 1/3 eng loc rom is, if there is a difference. I've been lurking in this thread for a little while already but I want to try out a stock version which seems to be either 4.2 or the eng loc from the other thread. Hope I'm clear this time and thanks for the help :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] killhr:
Never tired it until i saw this request and its not working for me it rebooted me
[EVO 4G Android Development] MadFlava:
I have to say that Im really disappointed in beta 3. I really liked that Sense stayed stock looking in your roms and now its all jacked up. I avoid ROMs that change Sense all up and that was one thign this rom had over just about every one of them.

Hopefully you decide to go back to stock Sense or at least offer it as an option. Im not saying beta 3 is ugly, Im just saying its a radical departure from beta 2.
[EVO 4G Android Development] nuvens:
Hmm if you want a stock Rom why don't you just use 4.2 or the other English only version he posted. He clearly stated he had already done all he could to stock and from 4.3 on was a themed version. And he didn't jack sense up imo he made it better.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ckoadiyn:
There's a few diff from the other one n 4.2 the other one is mid compressed n island if it has the percent for batt or not n I also think stock apps arnt removed to the SD and put to SD as a apk

[EVO 4G Android Development] kast107:
I think there is a minor problem with the 4.3 Clear Lockscreen flashable file. When the file is flashed, the white (empty) signal bars reappear. I know that Beta III removes those empty signal bar lines, but they return when the clear lockscreen is flashed over Beta III.

IMHO, I prefer the clear lockscreen over the one with the two bars included in Beta 3, but to each his/her own.

Overall, this is yet another masterpiece. Nice work, Mik.
[EVO 4G Android Development] stricklerjosh:
Agreed I love the clear lockscreen.

[EVO 4G Android Development] ejc1214:
Mik,

Everything is running well so far. Like the new 4.3beta3 but would have loved to see a bigger status bar for my aging eyes! LOL I am a hard time telling if the 3G is exchanging info because the arrows are very small. Anyway I can have it stock looking size?
[EVO 4G Android Development] jadeboy7:
mid compressed? island? i think i somewhat get what you're saying but not very clear. also, can someone confirm this? thanks a lot.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ckoadiyn:
Sorry eh like It's not zipped to the smallest size it could be
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
im sorry u dont like the theme man... but u kinda forget that i never even wanted to make a stock rom look... its just that the results i had with it on my rom once i started working on it was soo great i had to share with everyone else so that they can use it also.

and we all know that the best starting point for every rom is the as close as possible to how u get it from the ruu.

as far as what u saying on beta 2 and beta 3... i cant really understand what u talking about cuz beta 2 is the same as beta 3... as far as the theme goes... so im gonna have to assume u mean 4.2 and the betas of 4.3.

but, again... i never really wanted to make a sense rom with the stock look... which is something i think most people forget.

think of it like this... would u ask myn to make u a stock looking rom?

would u ask xxbobi..xx to make u one?

or any other dev for that matter?

no, right?

and why not... probably cuz they didnt put up a rom that was stock looking to begin with.

i did put up a rom like that... but just to be used as a base by those who want to use it.

maybe i made the mistake of associating it with the "mikfroyo" name... cuz now a lot of people expect me to do more with a stock rom also when i didnt really have any intention of doing so to begin with.

i will say that i might eventually update the base at some point... but its not gonna happen until im done with everything i have planned for my personal roms first.

so... i will have to say sorry that its like that, but i also know i can't keep everyone happy 100% of the time.

no one can.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ckoadiyn:
Did I get it right about the diffs between 4.2 and the reengineered
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
ok guys... i need a few people that can test hdmi since i saw a few comments about it not working.

feel free to pm me if u can test it... i wish i could, but i can't.

i would hate putting out a final version with hdmi not working.

on the other hand... if someone does have it working on any of the beta and/or the base roms/older roms please feel free to comment on it so ill know where to look for a fix if a fix is indeed needed.

just one person saying it works will keep me happy cuz if one person got it... everyone can get it also. (sorry for the minority logic here btw... but i hope u guys see why im saying it)

thanks.

[EVO 4G Android Development] CheesyNutz:
4.2 + no sense + ADWEX = OMGWTFBBQ !!!
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
the rengineered eng base basically have all the resources in the apks uncompressed (like a stock rom does) and all the other files in the apks mid compressed.

also, the images are optimized and its is just like a 100% stock rom when it comes to everything else... wallpapers/sounds/bootanim/apps(and their location)/etc.

in general though... its the same as 4.2 besides those diff.
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
ok good...

now.. if u dont mind...

did u change a kernel... are u using the stock one that comes with the rom.

any helpful info that those that said its not working for them can use is much appreciated.

thank you again.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mitchellvii:
mik,

That's pretty much why I suggested the addition of a flat, minimalistic theme. Some people just don't like rounded edges and flaming download arrows. On the other hand, some folks love all the extra bells a whistles.

No one is right and no one is wrong.

P.S., Could you put back in all the Sense Wallpapers? There are a couple of those that I like that you took out.
[EVO 4G Android Development] CheesyNutz:
its not that hard to get them :P really simple really
[EVO 4G Android Development] mitchellvii:
Can you hook a brother up?

I don't just want the images, I want the sense wallpaper installer because it creates higher resolution images. The ones I've downloaded and tried to install using Gallery look all undithered.
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
u might endup liking the flat black theme i made that will be out with 4.3.

cuz the task bar is flat black and it will help u see things more clear.

as far as individual requests though... i will have to make u wait until i have to to help u out with it.

or, u can ask in the themes section... ericwgarza1 has being doing some nice things over there for my rom and from what i saw he dont mind taking requests (@ericwgarza1 sorry if im wrong on that statement).

i hope u understand.

also... all u guys that are looking to change things up... beta 3 is basically how everything is gonna look on the final 4.3.

the only thing that might change is the clock theme.

so check out what i said above for individual changes u want for yourself.

thanks, and again, sorry.
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
they r all on the sd card man... wallpapers/apps/ringtones & more stock roms stuff.

and u know i have the flat black theme done already... so i will ignore that comment on it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mplaines:
Did you check the Removed_Wallpapers folder? Oops Mik beat me to it
[EVO 4G Android Development] kast107:
Hi mik,

Are you including the fully clear lockscreen in 4.3 in place of the clear with 2 grey bars that was included in 4.3 beta 3? I sure hope so!

That's great, Mik. I will take a look at what you come up with.
[EVO 4G Android Development] emuview:
I'm runnin the sbc mod htc #15 kernel
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
i think ill move the image from the htc reources into the lockscreen apk... that way u guys can have a tiny small zip added instead of the whole damn htc resources to get the clear lock screen.

thats the fun about taking sense apart... i can move things and make them work how i want from where i want.

so yes.

i will add a mod for it.

Funny you should bring that up.

I never asked Myn to do anything however that was the rom I was running before switching to yours. I just flashed the stock Rosie back over top of his rom and carried on. Since you optimize all the framework, I cant really do that with yours.

I just dont like reskinned Rosie. I guess its a personal thing. Beta 3 looks okay if you like that sort of stuff.

again... themes are a matter of taste... thats why people make them.

i dont like stock... so i theme it... u do, so u dont.

and like i said before... i wish i could help u out more on this... but yes i do tweak every single package in the rom... so it will be crazy har dot revert my changes... but at the same time... in oreder to keep the stock rom base and theme at the same level i will need to go over those 140 apks again.

that alone will take me like 2-3 days to do... and im not talking about me reverting my changes... im talking about me simply rebuilding them with adding all the tweak i made to the themed rom packages without adding the graphics.

so u should see why this is my last priority now.

i will say this though... if u liked myn's theme in anyway... u will probably like the flat black theme i mad for this rom.
