[EVO 4G Android Development] blockhead428:
Did you even read my question? I asked how do you use the ROSIE SETTINGS APP because as far as I can tell, it doesn't remap the right button at all. I've selected which app I want it to be, and then that's it. There's no apply button at all or anything. If I hit menu, all I get is an about screen. I am in no way doubting aamikam's work because I've been a long time user of these roms since mikfroyo roms first made an appearance, I'd just like someone who has successfully used the app to explain to me how to use it. Thank you anyone in advance for any help.
[EVO 4G Android Development] blockhead428:
Do you mind explaining it for me? Maybe mine didn't flash right or something, but here's how it goes: I pull up the rosie settings app, I see the select button and I choose people, because that's what I want the right button to be. Then what am I supposed to do? Because when I hit home or back, it's still the little plus sign.

Edit: Forgot to mention, search wasn't working an hour or so ago. That's why I wrote what I wrote earlier. It kept saying try again in 10 minutes.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mplaines:
Just select the app you want to map the right key to and your done. just hit the back button and try it it should be remapped
[EVO 4G Android Development] blockhead428:
Sounds simple enough, but it doesn't work for me. I guess I'll try clearing the cache of the app and doing it again.
[EVO 4G Android Development] evohog:
Yes I read it. Earlier I was checking out myns Rom and he gas the same remap, when I went to change it to camera it wouldn't work so I tried messages and that worked so I believe some apps will work and some won't. You figure that part out. After you change it just hit home and it should be there if its an app that will work.
[EVO 4G Android Development] blockhead428:
Answer me this: it says by default its set to internet, but as far as I can see, its always been set as the little plus sign that brings up the screen to add widgets and stuff. This is the same button that this app is supposed to remap right?

What did you remap yours too just so I can see if it is indeed working for me?
[EVO 4G Android Development] mplaines:
Mine is mapped to HD Browser no issues here. Try another app and see if you can do it, but the HD should work.
[EVO 4G Android Development] blockhead428:
Mine won't change to anything. I mean, we are talking about the plus sign that's opposite of the app drawer button, right?
[EVO 4G Android Development] evohog:
I just went back to browser from messages and it worked.
[EVO 4G Android Development] blockhead428:
I've tried multiple apps, and it's still just the same plus sign that it's always been.
[EVO 4G Android Development] akastixx:
You select your app and either hit back or home
[EVO 4G Android Development] blockhead428:
It just stays as the same plus sign that it always was. I've tried clearing the data and doing it again, but it stays as that same plus sign. Why won't it change? I haven't flashed anything that modifies the rosie at all. No themes, nothing.
[EVO 4G Android Development] evohog:
How do you have a plus sign?
[EVO 4G Android Development] blockhead428:
What did you use to take a screen shot? I've got a triangle in a circle on the left that brings up the apps and a plus sign on the right. I didn't flash a theme or anything. Just a fresh flash of 4.3.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Eat it iPhone:
So is there any chance of seeing a 4.2 UI with 4.3?

Maybe forking the Rom into Sense UI and this moded UI?
[EVO 4G Android Development] akastixx:
When you flashed the rom, did you clear everything, or just overwrite? Full wipe here. I don't know why it's messed up for you.
[EVO 4G Android Development] evohog:
Drocap2 for screen shot. And I think you got a bad flash or something because I have the stock rosie and there's no plus sign.
[EVO 4G Android Development] blockhead428:
I fully wiped and flashed 4.3 and cleared the dalvik and cache in between flashing mods and kernels. I did flash the semi transparent app drawer mod. Could that have done it?
[EVO 4G Android Development] mplaines:
There shouldn't be a + sign sounds like you didn't wipe.
[EVO 4G Android Development] evohog:
Yup. App drawers can change your rosie like a battery can change your statusbar.
[EVO 4G Android Development] blockhead428:
I wiped everything twice. I'm guessing I didn't need to flash that semi trans app drawer mod. I did it on the last rom and I guess I absentmindedly did it again. That's the only thing I can think of that messed it up. I'm backing up everything right now so I can reflash it and see how it goes. I appreciate all the help so far.
[EVO 4G Android Development] blockhead428:
It seems to be working after a reflash. I messed with it for a second, but it kept giving me an error message about androidmanfiest.xml or something. Anyone else get that message?
[EVO 4G Android Development] TweetyBear:
having problems w es file explorer. it opens up like one time then it closes itself and wont open back up again. anyone else with it?
[EVO 4G Android Development] blockhead428:
Mine didn't even have es file explorer after a fresh flash. Root explorer is the best IMHO.
[EVO 4G Android Development] akastixx:
Trans mod was for an older build. It is already included in 2.3
[EVO 4G Android Development] TheNinja370:
Nice Rom. No problems flashing it. Seems stable so far. Great job!
[EVO 4G Android Development] klept0:
Thought I would share my setup ;)
[EVO 4G Android Development] havroz:
Does the battery percentage removal for 4.2 work with no problems?

Also wondering if the rosie editor for 4.2 keeps the "stock look"
[EVO 4G Android Development] willsurg:
hey , sorry I misread, i thought you had given up on this since you flashed your sd for gingerbread and was not going to want to reflash. for those who are not familiar with adb, you can also download terminal from market, run it, type su at the first prompt, then run the same commands to achive what mitchellvii posted. however, just dont type "/system/bin" portions, always start with the a2sd and then whatever else follows :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] mitchellvii:
No you didn't misread. I had given up but revisited the idea since physically moving apps to SD using the Apps2SD .apk in the Market was a pain. I also HATE when I can't figure something out.
[EVO 4G Android Development] loumoli:
Im in orlando right now.last time I was here I was on myn's rom and 4g speed was 10m down 1m up. On this rom I get 4g speeds of 3.8 down

.5 up any ideas why so slow?
[EVO 4G Android Development] klept0:
what are you using to test...same signal strength as last time?
[EVO 4G Android Development] loumoli:
Yes I used speedtest .net everything the same. Has any one else 4g speed slowed?
[EVO 4G Android Development] mitchellvii:
Wimax is notoriously flaky as far as performance. I can be testing wimax standing in exactly the same spot 5 times over a 5 minute period and get anywhere from 10 mbps down to 3 mbps down.

In order to improve your wimax experience in general, try this:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=733773

UPDATE: Using the above method, I was able to secure a 4G connection in my house. This is actually quite remarkable as I am about 4 miles from the closest 4G coverage area. However, I did notice that Speedtest wasn't showing me having a connection at all. So, it could be that Speedtest is broken this morning as I am clearly able to surf the web with my 4G connection.

UPDATE: Speedtest appears to be testing my wifi connection accurately so I guess Speedtest is functioning as intended.

To me 4.2 IS 4.3 without the themed Sense. While there are minor differences, the 4.2 has the stock Sense and essentially all the optimizations. What exact components are you looking for?
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
anoyone up for testing a 4x5 rosie layout?

i know i did that mod for many roms before and no one really found something that is not working right... but i would like to find someone that use all of the widgets in all their forms.

all the widgets that take a full screen form is really easy to change... the ones that dont are where mis alignments might pop up.

please pm me if u wanna test it, and please.. be someone that use all the widgets like stocks and footprints even.

it is make for the original theme thats the rom and not the flat-black theme.

thank you.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mitchellvii:
I think Mik could probably put a patch together which would allow for the Stock Sense UI on 4.3. My recommendation is to PM him and ask for that.

You may also wish to consider one of the alternative Launchers that are available (LauncherPro, ADW Ex, Go Launcher, etc) as they offer a great deal more control over your desktop than Sense does. Of those 3, I would recommend LauncherPro if the reason you prefer Sense is due to the Sense Widgets as LP has mimicked most of those for you.
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
the only thing that diff between 4.3 and 4.2 is not only theme but it does indeed involve more graphical changes.

for 4.3 i took all of the b&w images and actually made sure they r in gray scale... where on any stock rom and/or stock theme they r still set to rgb even though they r in b&w. i also took images that can be indexed and indexed them.

this results in smaller image sizes etc.

so... there is more that can be done with a stock rom... same as there is always more to be done with my themed rom.

but, as far as how big the diff is... i think 4.2 is pretty much up there with 4.3 when it comes to speed... 4.3 i think is slightly faster, as it should be.

i hope that kinda helps with whats diff between both version besides the theme.

yes there is more thats diff... but thats the main difference.
[EVO 4G Android Development] rvega01:
Hi aamikam,

I flashed the latest Mikfroyo yesterday and everything is good and fast but the only thing I can't get to work is the GPS.t start searching but never finds it. I install all the latest update for Radio, winmax,etc. Sorry I'm a newbie.

Any suggestions?

Thank you vfery much...!
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
first... update profile in the settings menu.

and try that.

if not.

open up google maps, let it run for like 5 secs... than close and open navigator.

UNOFFICIAL bug list

Thanks to aamikam first of all for the great work.. I've seen some issues posted, others not.. Here are some of my problems (version 003 hardware). I do always wipe twice and have used both CW and RA for recovery just to see if there was any difference in performance...Both results are the same for me.

1) both 3G and 4G speeds between 30-50% slower than other ROMS

2) both wifi and USB tether connection cuts out when using the phone (every time).. i.e. cannot have internet tethering and phone calls at the same time.

3) 4G bumps down to 3G when hotspot is activated (every time)

4) Battery life 3-4 hours with moderate use (tried lots of kernels and setCPU). I get up to 20 hours with other ROMS

5) Google Navigation random reboots. First time takes a while, afterwards every couple of minutes. Reflasing ROM will give you another 30 minutes to one hour on NAV... then will start rebooting more frequently again.

In all, this is a great ROM. If anyone has fixed to the above problems, please advise.. otherwise, aamikam, please have a look when you can.

Thanks again to the developers for making our lives as rooted EVO users so much fun!
[EVO 4G Android Development] rvega01:
Hi aamikam,

I did itand Google Map works great, but Navigation still takes forever and never connects..
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
which version are u on in not sure... but...

1. is something that im sure is an individual prblem cuz my 3g speeds are same as they lways have been... and im pretty sure its not the rom.

2. if u on 3g it is kinda clear that it will cut off when u using the phone... thats how it works... but wifi should and does stay on. since wifi tether/usb tether use the 3g connection... it makes perfect sense it will cuz it off.

3. thats how the free tether hack works... if u use a diff program to tether it wont happen (not my original hack and its a known issue)

4. i get between 2-3 days out of my stock batt... i have no clue why you not... im sure most users of this rom got a better batt life than most other roms and ofcourse the kernel u use makes a diff.

5. google navigation works fine for me and for others als from what i know... personally i usually use sprint nav anyways though.

i would love to help... but u need to understand that most of the time individual issues is something that i cant help with.

if im not having those issues... and a lot more not having those issues... i will have to say that u have done something wrong.

sorry for being soo rude here... but i will have to suggest to u re-download and flash the rom again fully wiping everything.

if than the issue repeats and u didnt flash anyother mod/theme/kernel on the phone i will try to help u as much as i can.

before u do that... there is nothing else i can do to try and help.

i hope u understand.

** Only do this if you have a Class 6 (or better) SDCard. If you are running a Class 2 SDCard (the oem card that comes with your phone is a Class 2), do NOT run the Apps2SD version of Mik's Rom. The card is not fast enough to work properly in this configuration.

Actually, for those with a stock sd card, you can still move your cache to the cache partition on your phone, freeing up more space on the data partition for apps and makes the phone run a little faster. Adb or term emu command (a2sd cachepart)
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
it seems to be and issue for some and for some not.

i will say that before using 4.3 i used myn's rom for approx 2 days (he sent me an early copy of his final rls5 rom) and i had the same issue as u having with his.

so im pretty sure its not the rom itself... there is something else going on here.

updating radios and updating profiles actually made that issue go away.

thats all i can do about it... sorry.

but u kinda have to follow my logic here.

if one person have it working everyone can have it working.
[EVO 4G Android Development] noregretzzzz:
No titanium back up will move some apps completely to the sd card, however you gave to b careful which apps to move as widgets won't work when theyre on the sd card. The only thing that kind of sucks is it's trial and error
[EVO 4G Android Development] sent17inel:
For me I had to end all programs using advanced task killer (including andvanced task killer itself) and then I went straight into car panel > navigation and it locked on instantly. So I think Advanced task killer was the problem for me. Again you only have to do this once.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mitchellvii:
These sound more like kernel issues than rom issues. Also, when restoring apps after flashing, are you being careful not to restore system data from other roms? This is known to create many performance problems.

This Rom is exceptionally smooth and stable. If it having all of the problems you have mentioned it is likely due to operator error and not the Rom itself.

I am using Netarchy's non SBC kernel (http://qap.la/~netarchy/netarchy-toastmod-4.3.1-bfs-havs-nosbc-universal-signed.zip) with this Rom and it is working flawlessly.

Can you eleborate for me on this a little? I thought that when I flashed the ROM the kernel gets updated also. What exactly is a ROM if not an updated kernel then? I would like to try out this kernel you mention.
[EVO 4G Android Development] neles86:
Quite the contrary, I've been using app2sd on my class 2 oem card since day one without any performance issues at all ..
[EVO 4G Android Development] Drew5150:
First I would like to thank MIk again for this rom. it is truely awesome. I didn't think it could get much better then 4.2 but this version rocks man! and the regular 4.3 theme just feels fancy :)

thought I would jump in and share my screen shot with launcher pro

now for the bad, I am having some issues with the rom. I believe they are pretty much recovery/wipe related.

I have had some apps that seem to disappear. most notedly launcher pro was gone this morning when I woke up. I can't re-install it as my phone thinks its there, but I can't uninstall it as I don't see it anywhere on my phone.

funny as I can see a launcher pro widget on my sense launcher .. lol

anyways I used to always wipe and flash a new rom with RA. but with all the new versions and problems with it I decided to stick with clockwork this time. I had to install the rom twice yesterday and I thought it was working good before I went to bed, but obviously not. clockwork was giving me issues trying to wipe dalvik and even locked up there twice. it also gives me horizontal lines on my screen when rebooting from recovery. yesterday is the first and only time I have ever seen this.

ok, so the question. are you guys using RA? is the new version safe bet again?

also I see there is a clear and black lock screen to flash. if I want to revert back to the one that comes with the base 4.3 do we have a zip for this?

thanks again mik, another donation coming your way ;)
[EVO 4G Android Development] sent17inel:
Me too! I have my 8 gig that I bought 2 years ago for 100+ bucks so I'm assuming its a class 2 but I havent noticed ANY performance issues and I am using Apps2sd.
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
the class 2 card is something that is said to slow down things... but just like people say that this kernel is good or that kernel is good... its really something that is not universal, although in theory it should.

as much as we would all love to think that everything is the same... its not.

the warning for the class 2 is up there so that if u will get a performance decrease... u will know that could be why... and not necessarily a law.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mplaines:
Its not possible the rosie will change too many things.

There might be a solution for you, one of the xda members wrote a program called fasterfix. It tells the radio where you are in the world ( which region ) you are so it's searching is a bit more confined. I think you can just search in the forums for it. I use it and noticed a difference in how long it took to zero in on my position.
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
nice set up.... im happy u like.

so u want a revert zip for the lockscreen with the lines?

or u want a zip for a diff version (beta 1/2/3)... im not 100% sure.

Hey Aamikam, do you mind telling me what kernel and setup your using? I know all phones are different, but in the past my phones has seemed to like the same kernels as yours lol
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
rosie it self wont make a big diff... but a lot of the images that Rosie uses are in the htc resources file... so u need to change those also.

[EVO 4G Android Development] Shauli20:
Thanks Mitch. I followed the instructions of the threads linked. What I found interesting is that all the EPST values were set by default to 300. This is not what I was expecting to see, based on what was written in the guides. I wonder why this is, and do any of the values in there possibly influence the 4G speeds?

I think Class 4 cards are supposed to be ok too.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Shauli20:
Amikam, I flashed 4.3 last night. Originally I flashed it on top of beta 2, but then I flashed the clear lockscreen and I got the 'disappearing apps' problem again.

So I reflashed 4.3 after wiping everything, and I flashed the clear lockscreen and animations before booting up and everything is fine.

I know for a fact that flashing kernels doesn't cause this issue. It seems that anything that involves themeing has this issue. So far I think I've had the disappearing apps problem with Myn's Rosie, your animations and clear lockscreen. Something in there is obviously messing with the data partition.

I hope this may give you a clue as to what is causing this issue.

Sent from my EVO rockin' MikFroYo!
[EVO 4G Android Development] Drew5150:
yeah, I was looking for a zip to revert to the lockscreen with the lines. I changed fonts last night and they didn't fit the lock screen that came with the final 4.3, the one with the lines. for now I just changed back to the stock fonts.

was thinking of trying the clear lockscreen with different fonts, but I would like to be able to come back to the one with lines as I do like it ;)

Does anyone have a link on how specifically to partition the sd card? I have never done that before, and want to make sure I do it properly for this rom. Also I already did a titanium batch restore after flashing the rom, and then used Appd2sd (from the market) to move everything, will I have double files on there now after I partition? I would appreciate answers in that condescending tone that I've heard so much about lmao Thanks!

Copy everything to your computer. Then in recovery select format, then when finished copy everything back to your card. Done.

ok, hmm, I'll have to figure out how I want to go about this then, maybe a fresh install.

When you say "copy" everything to my computer, you mean I would still leave everything on the SD card for the partitioning? Or should I Remove everything from my sd card, and place it on my computer, then partition with an empty sd card, and then put everything back? Thanks!
