Thanks for the response and dayum you for getting me back into this whole ROM flashing addiction. ;)

I already flasked MikFroyo v4.61 and then themed it with the green theme that agentphantom posted earlier. I really like the way my phone looks right now and I like all the icons and the translucent windows as well as the blacked out Gmail and market. I like the way my phone is right now but I want the 4x5 aspect of the homescreen and app drawer. Is there a theme that will accomplish this w/o changing everything else from what I have currently?

Secondly, is there a way to change the power bar options in the notification bar? I found the settings in my app tray and was able to customize what options are already there but I mean more for changing out options. For example I never have disabled the Sync on any of my Android phones in the last two years so that option is a waste of real estate for me. I do however turn my 4G on and off regularly. Can I change the Sync option and instead have a 4G option? Would this be a different ROM or ??

Lastly, still a bit confused on the 'Rosie' thing but the item on the bottom of my homepage that has my phone and app launcher (I also changed the right side for gallery from Browser) looks a little sad compared to the rest of my theme now. If I want to change this do I dig around on the mikmik forum in the 'Rosie' section? Is that the term of the option I'm looking to change? I just don't get all the lingo and would rather have something that looks more like the v4.4 from the pics and videos.

I didn't read the original post? That doesn't make any sense. To answer your question (?) no, I've never seen the page you linked me to. While I read through the first post of that thread and a few pages it's still a mystery to me so I don't know.

While this one makes more sense to me than the first link quoted above I can't seem to find a file in System-> Customize that is named widget.txt to copy and edit. I'm using ES File Explorer and I realize he says it won't allow you to set permissions but if you copy and then edit the text only the permissions should remain the same. I don't feel like paying $6 just to edit this one toggle. I also would like to know if I can disable the lock screen w/o the toggle edit listed in these links.

Que?
[EVO 4G Android Development] OstrichSak:
Edit: Never mind.
[EVO 4G Android Development] coiledwire:
You have to make widget.txt on your pc (or phone); use the syntax given in that guide. Place it on your SD and move it to /system/customize. Verify the permissions and reboot. The PCW should be updated to your widget settings, provided the syntax and permissions is correct.

Some additional info:

1) You don't need to flash all of the PCW files in JsChiSurf's thread. If you do, you'll lose all of the theme that you just flashed. Besides, all of the files for PCW is already included in the mik 4.6 framework.

2) There is a default setup built into the framework of mik 4.6. That's why you don't see a widget.txt file. If the framework notices that widget.txt file in /system/customize, it will use those settings instead of the default one.

3) You can try to just create a widget.txt and move it on to that folder without checking permissions. If you reboot and the new settings doesn't take because you still see the old PCW, then I'd be suspicious that the permissions are wrong. You could use chmod command via adb remount to set the permissions directly; but you need adb set up on your PC. The most straight forward way is via root explorer.

4) I don't know how what widgets you want in the PCW, but here is a link to a widget.txt file I've created for another user. It has the right permissions. You can try to copy it to /system/customize; then you can and edit it directly on your phone. I don't know if editing will change the permissions.

widget.txt

In regards to your lockscreen question, I don't know what you are asking. Do you want to disable the lockscreen entirely? Just the HTC lockscreen?
[EVO 4G Android Development] badassdes:
Ostrich: I've been dealing with the same issue... trying to change the option (I want the 4G toggle) on the notification bar. Although I tried and it's not working for me, I'm still trying/asking questions... the instructions and posts for this specific topic is on the thread that was mentioned before... from the Mik Forum. http://www.themikmik.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=95&t=228&p=7885#p7885

Maybe you can benefit too from the questions and answers I'm having there.... just saying :cool:

[EVO 4G Android Development] coiledwire:
Lol. I was having the same conversation in 2 different places. :p
[EVO 4G Android Development] OstrichSak:
Thanks for posting that txt file. I downloaded and edited it no problem but when I went to move it to the proper folder I got an error. I've been dealing with an issue w/Titanium backup as well so now I'm leaning towards having lost root access. Grrrr. So, now I need to address this before I can edit this txt file and drop it in the folder and reboot. I'm hoping this does work but it seems to be far too simple to actually work for me.

As for the lockscreen I'm wanting it gone. I press the power button when the screen is off and when I do the phone is unlocked when the screen comes on w/o the need to press anything else. Something tells me that the volume buttons could accidentally wake the phone as well so maybe this isn't such a wise idea. This is something I can test once I get this power bar setup the way I want and try the Toggle to see how it behaves.

Now to fix my root issues. Can I simply run Unrevoked3 again to gain root access and leave my ROM and theme intact or do I need to complete the process all over again?
[EVO 4G Android Development] OstrichSak:
Alright, I got root access back and I'm back in business again. I tried once again to move the file to the System/Customize folder but it wouldn't let me. It just said it couldn't move or copy it (tried both ways) and that was that. I even mounted it to my PC as an external HDD and I couldn't seem to access the phone's memory like I could on my Droid 1. Is this something I should be able to do on a rooted Evo 4G?
[EVO 4G Android Development] mdixon4az:
Mounting as a disk drive while plugged into the computer will only give access to the SD Card. This will not allow access to the internal phone memory.

To move the file properly you can use ES file Explorer in root mode or push the file using adb.

To use adb you need to do the following:

adb remount

adb push widget.txt /system/customize

adb reboot
[EVO 4G Android Development] OstrichSak:
I don't know the first thing about abd to be honest. I have used terminal emulator before quite a while back so if I can use this I can maybe figure it out or if abd is pretty straight forward to use I can use that too.

When I go into the settings of ES File Explorer there is a root mode but it says it can only be used on CM ROM or HiAPK ROMs. Are you saying you know it's safe to run this mode on MikFroyo ROMs?
[EVO 4G Android Development] prboy1969:
So I just flashed V4.61 on my wifes EVO, and the signal shows 1x instead of 3G. Is that right? Did I do something wrong? Is there a setting I need to change?
[EVO 4G Android Development] coiledwire:
Personally I use root explorer so I can't say for sure. I don't know what the risk would be to try; you only need to make /system/customize read/write-able. Might as well try it.

Yea, sprint tricked us by displaying 1x as 3g by default. There is a mod to have 1x displayed, and v4.61 has this mod built in. There's additional settings that you could check if you know for sure you should be getting 3g speeds instead of 1x where you're at.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jadeboy7:
@coiled So this is what happens when I miss one day...... Congrats on 25k :D.
[EVO 4G Android Development] prboy1969:
I'm in Lansing, Mi. I know for sure we have 3G. Where are the settings? How do I get to them? Thanks.
[EVO 4G Android Development] tommytomatoe:
It's not that you don't have 3g where you are, but due to weather/work on the towers/too many people/bad reception/et cetera, you are only able to pick up 1g. Like coil said, the framework stock has always showed 3g which kinda tricks us into thinking were always getting those speeds where in reality the sprint towers are spotty more often than should be.
[EVO 4G Android Development] OstrichSak:
In that setting it says to email the dev w/any other ROMs before trying so I'll do that. Not sure why it could be so catastrophic to enable privileges but I'll be safe and email the dev.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jadeboy7:
I have personally used "HiAPK" on MikFroYo with no problems. Just be sure to uncheck it when you are done or you could have some issues.

Edit: If you want some free alternatives to Root Explorer besides ES File Explorer, I linked to a few in this post: http://themikmik.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=7530#p7530.
[EVO 4G Android Development] OstrichSak:
Thanks for the reply. So I can check the box for root explorer and is that all I need to copy a file to /system/customize or should I check the box below root explorer that says to mount the something or another?

I appreciate the tips on other file explorers but ES generally works really well for me. This is the first time I've had a task I wasn't able to complete using it and it's not something I will be doing regularly so if this works I'll probably just stick w/what I know.

EDIT: I checked the box for Root Explorer and it makes you select from CM or HiAPK before proceeding. I chose the second one and tried to copy the file. It said it failed so I went back to settings and selected to mount the OS and tried again. It said the copy failed again but I noticed the file was actually copied. I opened it and the new text looked right so I rebooted and booyah! New toggles!! Thanks to everyone who helped. Now I'm going to see if I can edit that file for different toggles w/o being in root mode.
[EVO 4G Android Development] OstrichSak:
Another question I have is where can I find the Gmail icon that comes w/this MikFroyo theme? I use Gmail Unread count widget and it has an option for custom image. I assume I just need to copy an image to the widget folder to be able to select it (currently says 'no image' w/o an option to browse) but I'm not sure where the blue Gmail icon in the app tray is stored.
[EVO 4G Android Development] tommytomatoe:
Its stored inside the Gmail apk. Take the apk from the theme you using (if you using a theme) and open it using 7zip or betterzip on the computer. Then look for a folder called "res", then inside that for "drawable-hdpi", then the icon is something like icon.png. Just look through those icons to find the one you looking for.
[EVO 4G Android Development] coiledwire:
Enter ##3282# in your dialer > select edit mode > enter msl (lookup msl reader in the market if needed) > evdo > mode = automatic.

If its mode = sprint only, you may be forcing your phone to select a weaker sprint tower.

No it does not. If you wipe your cache it will cause really slow first boot but there is no need to wipe davlik cache because opened time don't use davlik cache. Wiping your cache will affect nothing inside the Rom and sometimes it helps fix boot problems.

Alright...you guys will probably call me crazy but..my girlfriend has a stock evo. She likes the stock look so I installed a odexed stock rom in her phone. can I use the rosies, themes and mod for 4.6.x for odexed stock Rom? Any help will be appreciated.
[EVO 4G Android Development] coiledwire:
Not sure if there's a reason for this; 4.6x is an odexed rom with a stock appearance, but it sounds like you installed something else...

Not all flashables for 4.6x will work on all other odexed roms. Probably the clock and rosie might be ok, but you probably can't install a full theme.

Why not just install 4.61 on your girlfriend's phone?

always wipe when flashing. Wipe everything 3 times and run a format zip. Just so that you know you starting fresh.

I actually just used the "UOT Kitchen" online to do my custom battery, and it worked great. Sry I don't have a link, cause I'm on my phone, but you can Google it, and you'll find it. It's actually really cool, you can do all kinds of things from system fonts, to notification bar mods, custom icons, emoticons, just all kinds of cool stuff. It works for pretty much any Sense based Rom, odexed or deodexed, and you actually upload your "framework-res.apk", so any other mods you may have already in there still work. It's pretty ingenious if you ask me. The only pain is that it only allows up to 30 requests at once (to minimise server load), and then you have to wait until those are done until you can get into the Kitchen again.

As always, have a nandroid ready just in case. If you have any questions or need help, just let me know...happy cooking. (:

[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:

as for "full screen" i dont think front cam even comes in full screen cuz it only takes pics/video in smaller resolutions. (1.3mb vs. 8mb)
[EVO 4G Android Development] jadeboy7:
Yeah, that's how it is because the front camera is only 1.3 megapixels as opposed to the back camera which is 8. Thus, it will be smaller and not as sharp.
