[EVO 4G Android Development] Admiral2145:
here ya go sorry the link didnt work

never mind just do what elbacker said
[EVO 4G Android Development] mitchellvii:
1) Some of the mods to this rom change the com.htc.resources.apk. I have noticed that when you change this .apk, it can remove your Google Apps syncing.

You may want to go back into your Menu > Settings > Accounts & sync and see if Google is listed there. If it is not, add it using "Add Account". If it is, click it and hit "Sync now" and see if this doesn't improve your Agenda widget performance.

2) If you have placed your apps on your SDCard, make sure you also place your dalvik cache there as it will make your widgets perform better:

Using ADB:

adb shell

a2sd cachesd

Using Terminal Emulator:

su

a2sd cachesd

The phone will reboot automatically.

3) LauncherPro has an outstanding Agenda/Calendar Widget that works pretty much like the Sense Widget and you could go that route.

4) There is an app called "Pure Calendar" that does agendas nicely as well.

5) Try opening your Agenda Widget in Applications > Clear Cache, Clear Data, Force Close. Then go to Google Services Framework and do the same, then reboot.

MikGB sounds like a lite beer :) - hence guaranteed popularity.
[EVO 4G Android Development] aimbdd:
I think more of gb will have to be working properly before he does that.

I would love to see that though!!
[EVO 4G Android Development] wase4711:
Well, I always keep my widgets locally, to try and avoid that issue, at least I thought I did!

Isn't it strange that only happens on Sense based ROMS though?

Ok, After the Bears beat the SeaHawks, I will re-flash this bad boy, and try your suggestions. I'm currently using Ultimate Droid 3.0, which is an interesting mix of CM6/GB, and, frankly, is running sweet for me, but I know its sort of a "forbidden topic" on this board!

thanks for taking the time to post a detailed suggestion! :D
[EVO 4G Android Development] kawaski47:
Alright I set permissions and reboot and still nothing. Is there something else I have to do in this rom other than just adding this txt file?
[EVO 4G Android Development] mitchellvii:
UD is a great rom - he takes cm and optimizes it, sort of like Mik optimizes Sense.

I feel badly for that receiver on the Ravens who had that 4th down pass for the 1st down hit him right between the numbers and drop it on their final drive. Dude may never have sex in that city again :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] mitchellvii:
Couple things:

1) Make sure your text string in widget.txt has NO SPACES in it. Should be like:

toggleWimax|toggleWifi|toggleBluetooth|toggleSync

Also, check for misspellings. Here are your options:

toggleWimax

toggleAirplane

toggleAutoRotate

toggleBluetooth

toggleBrightness

toggleFlashlight

toggleGPS

toggleLockScreen

toggleMobileData

toggleScreenTimeout

toggleSleepMode

toggleSound

toggleSync

toggleWifi

Finally, you can only have up to 6.

For more on this, here's the dev's original link: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=877003

2) Use adb to push the widget.txt file to your system/customize/ folder like so:

adb remount

adb push widget.txt /system/customize/

adb reboot

** For this to work, you must place the widget.txt file in your sdk/tools/ folder.

I have found the adb push method works best for some reason.

Removed_Apps Corrupt

It seems that my Removed Apps folder has been corrupted. I was able to successfully install after 4.3, but I must have done something between that time and now because I flashed 4.4 and couldn't install any of them and couldn't restore them in TB. I reverted to my Nand backup of 4.3 and still can't install any of them. When I install from adb in 4.4, I get a certificate error. Is it possible for someone to zip that folder and upload it for me? Would that work? I have done a search, but can only find the .apk for a few of them. I guess I learned my lesson about backing up those important files on my sdcard a little more diligently.

[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
pk guys... so now in the works will be a non-spanish version and then ill start theming.

i just wish i knew how to remove the poll from the thread.

i hope all u guys that want spanish got a good rom to work with... i will remind u all that this is a rom im sharing with u guys and not something i do for a living... so since i dont use spanish ui i have to take it out.

the poll is a failure... out of 2000 d/l of version 4.0 only approx 200 people said whether they care or not about me taking the Spanish out or not... so i will have to do it how i want it for myself as the final choice for future releases.

this base will always have spanish in it though... so i can always make my themes and/or everything else work with spanish also... so once im done theming and such... feel free to ask me for a spanish supported version if u'd like also.

anyways... v4.1 without spanish will be out sometime later on tonight i would hope... so stay tuned if u'd prefer that version instead.

and i wanna say that im really sorry for updating all the time... i usually make a solid base and then just theme over it.. but here there are just soo many options... so there is always room to do more.

Adfree works fine on 4G, you just have to choose the BTP option

Please oh please tell me I can delete the power control widget??!! I hate it >:0
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
i never made a version without it... but i can.

its not all that hard to do.

anyways...

since i think u the only one that seems to look for it...

i need u to know that it has things inside more than one file, so...

is that the only thing u want out?

do u still want the wifi tether hack and the batt percent?

or those can go also?
[EVO 4G Android Development] lazyboy0172:
I broke it again, somehow :(

I wiped everything and flashed 4.1, everything was flawless.

I installed my normal set of apps (quite a few, but I wouldnt say anything obscure)

and I made some edits to services.jar to remove the alarm clock icon and gps on icon, as well as change my widgets.txt for the power control widgets.

Well after all that I had to reboot to take the changes to the services and widget.txt, and when I rebooted my News widget was borked again, as described earlier. I guess maybe it wasn't a fault of the ROM before either, but what could I have done to do this? I've not run into this in any other ROMs. The news widget was working fine before rebooting with my new edits.
[EVO 4G Android Development] a senile fungus:
Maybe try making changes one at a time and rebooting in between to confirm that all is good?

~ I'm a fungi
[EVO 4G Android Development] Abracastabya:
This is my first time trying your rom and it rules! Great work man its ultra fast! But yeah i personally like and use switch widget much better so having the power control one as well is killing it for me

Edit..yes tether hack and batter % is awesome ;)

[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
this time i tried to mess with it and see if it changes after rebooting a bunch of times and it was working fine... i know what u talking about cuz it was an issue in the base rom also... best thing i can think of is that u try to u grab the stock news widget form some other rom and try to use that instead... maybe that would help.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mexiking713:
The best gets better! Been running this since it came out and I'm waiting for the Spanish free version to update :D

Thanks!!

this rom was recommended, going 2 install and see what all the fuss is about
[EVO 4G Android Development] onebelo:
sweeet! will definitely re-flash once the non-spanish is uploaded. thanks man!
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
do u mind if i ask where it was recommended?

im really wondering... is it on FB?

I would brag about it on FB but none of my friends have EVOs, let alone know what custom ROMs are haha.

[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
double widgets... i saw that before on my phone... probably the kernel u using or u flashed a zip without clearing something.

try selecting a diff scene.
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
ok guys... here is how u move dalvik to cache partition.

1. used terminal emulator or adb to run the "as2d cachepart" command.

like this:

2. if u not sure how to... just flash the attached zip.

both of these methods will move the dalvik-cache into the /cache/dc folder instead of the usual /data/dalvik-cache and will clear approx 60mb from your data partition.

All of u guys that use apps2d should not use this and use the "a2sd chachesd" command instead to move dalvik-cache to the sd card
[EVO 4G Android Development] dh350nwo:
I had this issue last night when I first flashed 4.4. Apparently i did not wipe my data and dalvik enough because I was showing double images on all Sense Widgets (along with other oddities). A second flash corrected the problem.

Sweet thanks bro.. that's what I figured.

[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
ok stock loving dudes...

since i managed to write a script that will work out most of the things i need to do to dec/rec the apks... i will have a stock themed ver 4.4 up later on also.

as soon as im done with the white theme and adding up all the mods for it... i will add a stock theme version also.

im doing this cuz i dont see my self making a v4.5 anytime soon cuz of school kicking in and cuz there is nothing much really left for me to do... i did my best as far as opt so only things left are themes and mods until an update to GB or the new sense will show up.
[EVO 4G Android Development] 1BadHEMI:
Thanks for the giude! So by doing this now with my current card, would I still need to reflash after the new card gets here?
[EVO 4G Android Development] strongsteve:
Thank you.. I prefer to keep all of my apps on the phone and media on the SD card.
[EVO 4G Android Development] FoeKilla:
Mik,

New user of your ROM here and I'm not sure your policy on feedback, so I'll just throw this out there and hope for the best...

I'm using 4.4 and Launcher Pro. Those fantastic menu icons you've added are not all present in LP. Search, Notifications and Preferences are the stock icons, while Add, Wallpaper and Settings are your new darker ones.

Again, not sure your feedback policy or your thoughts on Launcher Pro, but there you have it. If it's an easy fix, that's great. If mismatched icons in the LP menu are the price of admission to the rest of the ROM, I can accept that too.

Cheers!
[EVO 4G Android Development] mitchellvii:
Did you let 'em hang out with the Removed Wallpapers 'cause those Removed Wallpapers are no good I tell ya, no good!
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
like i said... dont expect those icons to show on a software thats not on the rom.

if u want... and i hope u have the non paid version of lp... pm me with the apk... ill fix it up for u and for everyone else that want this also.

ill also opt launcher pro... for fun... maybe it will even work faster for u guys.
[EVO 4G Android Development] adrian2pm:
+1 for laucher pro
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
wait

does LP have the non paid version and then u have to pay for a licence?

if so... ill just grab it from the market... im not a big lp fan cuz of the lack of sense widgets... but i can do it for u guys... no problem.

edit:

speeding up launcher pro actually sounds good for a lot of u guys probably.
[EVO 4G Android Development] 1BadHEMI:
Hey Mik,

Just so you know I wasn't BS'ing earlier about donating... 5SH2641378739214D

[EVO 4G Android Development] a senile fungus:
I gotz the heebie mikGB's !

~ I'm a fungi
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
u r a fungi.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mitchellvii:
A good rule of thumb is as follows:

"If you are doing anything more than upgrading from an earlier iteration of a rom by the same name (like MikFroyo) or flashing a new kernel (wipe cache and dalvik is fine), you should always do a full wipe and restore."

In order to make this less painful, I recommend Titanium Pro which allows for Batch Restores. When doing the restore, restore Apps & Data only - never System Apps.

Although it is a powerful tool, Titanium Pro will not restore your non-sense widgets to your homescreens. These are easy enough to re-apply yourself. If you are using complex widgets with lots of settings (such as Pure Calendar, etc), there is an option in the widgets setup which allows you to backup the widgets settings. Do that and when restoring it, simply import those settings and you will have your fully formatted widget back.

Last point. Pay attention to what the Dev tells you with each new release. If he(she) says "I think it might be better to do a full wipe", do it, just to be sure.
[EVO 4G Android Development] brock1909:
It does sound good :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] mitchellvii:
Yeah, LauncherPro is free from the Market, you only need a separate license to upgrade to LP Plus.
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
btw guys...

im not gonna re-do extra widgets and apps that r on the sd card for the themes... so if u have anything u saw missing and would like me to touch those also... let me know im a pm.

im saying that cuz im working on the white theme now... and it requires me to change text colors for the widgets... so if... once it release u find something that u want and i didnt do (a certain widget) let me know.
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
thanks... im on it now... u guys will have to push it into system/app.

i hope the guys that made LP wont be mad at me for tweaking his app.

edit:

it should be up for u guys to test it out in approx 15-30 min.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mitchellvii:
What this rom needs is MORE LAUNCHER PRO (and cowbell)!
[EVO 4G Android Development] elbacker:
I would have to say yes you almost need to follow the steps exactly.

When your new card gets here I would format it (in the steps)

You are going to have to move your current data to the new card (back up card and restore in the steps)

Use RA recovery to set up sd_ext (in the steps in guide)

So I would say just follow the steps when your new card gets here only restore your data to the new card from the old. Dont thank me thank Mitch.

Going to get a faster 32GB card myself but my 2 Class is working fine thus far.
[EVO 4G Android Development] pgreeny69:
Just flashed the Rom and radio's. Love it but the problem i'm having is the removed apps won't install using astro or es file explorer. Any help would be great. thanks

[EVO 4G Android Development] jklong03:
I'm sure you are aware, but if you open cmd window, cd to the directory where your widget.txt file is located, and then launch adb, you can push directly without having to clutter up your sdk/tools folder.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jklong03:
You know, without realizing it I had been running the earlier 4.3 apps2sd and the betas apps2sd on my OEM Class 2 card myself, and it was just fine! Once I realized it, I did repartition and restore my 8GB Class 6 card for running 4.4, but I can't say I can tell the difference between the Class 2 vs Class 6 either.

did anyone try my "move dalvik to cache" zip?

if so... did it work right?

thanks.
[EVO 4G Android Development] pgreeny69:
thanks for the reply, but not quite sure how to do that. any links?
[EVO 4G Android Development] selders59:
Sorry to hear this aamikam but can fully understand with school kicking in an life in general. One question though are you going to do a zip for the rotary unlock so we can install that once it is functional to your likes? That would be sweet on your rom 4.4. I have no desire now to flash any other rom. Your sense roms kick ass and will be donating here in a few days.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mitchellvii:
Yes, but I'm lazy and I already have my cmd window set to automatically open to sdk\tools\. So rather than cd'ing all over the place (too much typing), I just put stuff I want to push in my \tools\ folder - as good a place as any IMHO.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mitchellvii:
You can test this with the following command:

adb shell

/system/bin/a2sd check

About half way down the page you will see a heading for Dalvik Cache. If it is on your \cache\ partition it will tell you so there.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mitchellvii:
If your phone is running funny, check this...

My phone has been acting a little funny so I ran:

adb shell

/system/bin/a2sd check

and saw that (for some odd reason), my dalvik cache had been migrated back to my internal memory (weird).

Anyway, just ran:

adb shell

a2sd repair

and it fixed it (back to sdcard). Note, if you do this, it takes a while so if it looks stuck just let it be and it will eventually finish and reboot your phone.

Tapatalk Pro weirdness

As some of you may remember, there were a few of us who were having problems with TapaTalk Pro not functioning correctly for searches.

Suddenly, mine started working for searches and I thought all was right in my world. Then, this morning, sitting in church and while on 4G, I tried to search for SDX Forum (I know, blasphemy on two counts...guilty as charged!) and when I logged in and hit "subscribe" to save my bookmark, I got a FC in Tapatalk. Repeated 3 times, got FC each time, then phone suddenly rebooted! No problem I thought, just FC probably overflowed my memory or something. WRONG!!! I was now in a "boot loop" where phone would come back all the way to the lock screen display and then reboot. Battery pull, nandroid restore fixed it. I uninstalled tapatalk, rebooted, and downloaded it from market again. Still got FC when trying to subscribe to any site. I quit trying before it caused another reboot.

Could someone who is running with apps2sd try this for me? It must not be the app itself, as others (including aamikam and mitchellvii) get it to run just fine. I just can't figure out why mine wont!! This is on a totally wiped, fresh install of 4.4, so I would think I should be the same a everyone else.
[EVO 4G Android Development] wyldtyme:
I actually did that first, but I guess I didn't do it right. I guess that spending hours trying to figure this out yesterday, I learned something because when I did it again this morning so that I could send you the error message, it worked like a charm.

I know that there are a million guides on XDA, but honestly for a noob, they are cluttered with bad formatting, shout outs, and general poking fun or yelling at others.

4.3 was my first ever flash and I don't even have the desire to flash any more. This is so fast and so pretty.

(takes a while, let it run until it reboots your phone).
[EVO 4G Android Development] mitchellvii:

[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
ok... i didnt finish fixing all the menu icons that LP use... but i did opt it and speed up anim a little.

so check it out real quick... this is a test version and u gotta push it into system/app folder... but it works.

i just want the LP dudes telling me if it is indeed faster or not and such.

btw... no i did not crack the software so i hope me posting it is with in xda rules.

But, knowing better than to question the Michellvii, I will repair a2sd anyway.
