Factory Reset?

I'm thinking about doing a Factory Reset on my Evo for several reasons, what exactly will that do? It won't affect the SD card but what will happen to phone memory etc.? Can I factory reset and then install MikFroyo or must I do something else first?

thanks in advance,

DC
[EVO 4G Android Development] chogardjr:
When you do a factory reset it should take you back you the original version of the rom you flashed. So if this was MikFroyo v4.5 then thats what you will get just like a fresh install. It has been a LONG time since I did one so please don't quote me on this.

Be sure to let us know what happens...
[EVO 4G Android Development] xlGmanlx:
factory reset deletes any setting changes you made to your current ROM aftermarket or not and deletes any apps you downloaded etc. it only affects internal memory and your SD-card is left alone completely

ok guys...

who is up for an odex mikroyo v4.6 beta?

it is completely un themed and lacking the tweaks right now... but im working on it slowly.

i need to make sure i have a solid base... and then theming will start.

just an fyi... in odex roms i cannot add stuff like the hotspot hack and/or js power widgets etc... but it is faster then deodex and themes will come also.

feel free to pm if u'd like to help out and i will get back to u guys.... as always... if a lot of u guys will be interested... the beta will become public.

I'm in the exact same situation.. except I just have the one plan (129.99) with 3 lines (mine + dads + stepmoms). Corp Discount still applies , though it's just on the 129.99 amount.

However regarding the new new gold/silver... I actually have the announcement letter, with my name at the top and while i'm on the same plan as you it says I DO qualify for gold on my phone only (2nd and 3rd lines always go to silver). I called up (to complain as I did ask about my 2nd line being 1yr when it was purchased 2 months ago) and they said the letter was a mistake.. Screw em though, I'm taking that letter with me to a sprint store when I upgrade (though no plans to do so now). Figure we'll let the GM figure out why sprint marketing said I was eligible when I wasn't.

The sad part about all this is sprint is still one of the cheapest overall, but the way the marketing dept is handling everything (especially the Premium Data fee) makes them seem like they are just like everyone else price/feature wise.

Tmobile and Verizon marketing make them so appealing it's sick..

You're absolutely right, Sprint is much cheaper when you compare apples to apples. It's only more expensive if you have a 'dumb' phone that doesn't need data/text/etc..

Sprint also doesn't charge users for periods.. so that's something too! :0
[EVO 4G Android Development] 1BadHEMI:
So after wiping cache and Dalvik, everything seems to be back in order with the Market. Kinda weird. Never had that issue. It could have been because I was listening to the race on Sprint Cup.

Anyhow, back to our regular scheduled programming ;)
[EVO 4G Android Development] jadeboy7:
Glad to hear it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] chogardjr:
Ok I made a new rosie...its not for eveyone. I just want to see if this is something anyone is interested....

The reason for the two circle buttons on the side is because this rosie will include a rosie settings that will let you remap both of the end buttons.

Anyone want this?
[EVO 4G Android Development] xlGmanlx:
change the left and right rosie to the clock's grey and i think you have a winner ;)
[EVO 4G Android Development] jfortier16:
I am pretty sure deleting the stock mms will cause issues with handcents ability to send mms messages...
[EVO 4G Android Development] chogardjr:
I can make the anything. I just threw in the easiest thing I had. Also I was just testing the rosie against a fresh install to make sure it works. No one is using that clock anymore. You can look at the one in my personal setup it would work with these circles.
[EVO 4G Android Development] xlGmanlx:
thats correct, you can still send text messages but no "NO MMS FOR YOU!!"
[EVO 4G Android Development] mijjah74:
I like, would definitely use it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mijjah74:
I'd be willing to give it a try, always up for something new when its MikMade.

Referring to Mik4.6.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mijjah74:
Jadeboy, I'm finally able to hit the Thanks for ya from earlier today. Thanks for the help.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jadeboy7:
Not a problem, that's what I'm here for :).
[EVO 4G Android Development] chogardjr:
Here it is...

Chogardjr-Blue-Rosie-2remaps-022011-signed.zip

Now the two buttons are still defaulted to phone on the left and browser on the right but you can change those however you want. I never make calls only receive calls so I don't use the phone button much, thats why I like the two remappable.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mijjah74:
Can I flash your rosies and clocks over the default theme. Or will it. cause problems. Ive tried your mosy recent rot lock and get thrown into bootloops. Tried 3 times. Didnt know if these might do something like that. kind of like mixing things up.
[EVO 4G Android Development] chogardjr:
Well the new one, with the newest date, I tested on a fresh install of MikFroyo v4.5 and it worked without a problem. You have to use my theme for my rotary to work. As far as this rosie, I also tested on a fresh install without issues. But of course make a nand backup first.

Whats the possibility of a Red version of this. Just curious.

[EVO 4G Android Development] mijjah74:
Chogard, what flashing order do you recommend, to go all blue.

ROM, 4x5 Rosie widget, blue rosie, lockscreen, etc.??

Also, do you recommend going thru some boot cycles between flashing some of the files??

Thanks for the great theme mods and all the help.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mijjah74:
Guess I should have asked, this rosie works with the 4x5 workspace, correct?
[EVO 4G Android Development] aaronw143:
If I'm not mistaken since all his themes are 4x5 that his rosies would be too...

And ive flashed his other rosies and am running a custom one from him now and its a 4x5

This is my EVO, there are many like it, but this one is mine...
[EVO 4G Android Development] mijjah74:
Thanks for the response. Giving them a try.
[EVO 4G Android Development] aaronw143:
I would (as always) recommend a nandroid just in case you can revert back easily..

This is my EVO, there are many like it, but this one is mine...
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
ok guys... since i got a few pm about trying out the odex version... ill put up a public test version soon.

i will fill u guys in on the detail once i post it... and for all the flashing addicts... i will have more things to test on top of it cuz usually people dont use odex roms.. cuz no one does themes and such for them... and i will.

so, that will need testing also... but that will be later this week.

[EVO 4G Android Development] aaronw143:
Welcome to the club!!! We got all your flashing needs! Don't get us wrong, if you wanna get better your in the wrong spot ;-) I'd you wanna continue, were here for ya!

This is my EVO, there are many like it, but this one is mine...
[EVO 4G Android Development] chogardjr:
Start with the theme dated 022011 then flash the rotary dated 021911( it was midnight and I did the rotary first). After that then flash the other things you want. And always boot between flashes. These new dated theme and rotary will have all the popular mods (according to the number of downloads) in it that I had made. Blue was always number 1 four times over. I can do red but with the new odex coming I will need to stop themeing v4.5, I know it sucks but soon everything I'm doing will be obsolete. I also haven't been able to figure out why it works for some and not for others. Even when I test it against a fresh install of v4.5 and it works there is always someone who says its not working and they say they have different problems than another. So if you like the theme use the one I did last night and install it in this order. Soon I will working with something completely different.

[EVO 4G Android Development] Libdawg:
Hahaha....I figured I will never get better. Today I flashed the new cm just to check it out. Flashed the new port of the incredible s rom. Flashed the mikmiui to look at it. Also flashed the mikifiedcm......of course I came back to mik 4.5. Nothing runs like a mik!
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
im happy u like my rom so much... btw... the cm fried and mikmiui are half ass jobs kinda.... cuz i didnt sit on them for more than an hour or two each to try and perfect it.... so that should kinda explain why its not as good as it could be.
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
as u guys already know... or atleast i think u do... i like to post in the am... so i will put up a test version for the odex with a few addons (themes and such) sometime later tonight for u guys to check out.

i must say that an odex is indeed faster and that if u guys can skip the tiny tweaks and such that only a deodexed rom can give u... odex is the better choice.

of course once im done with odex... the new deodex base will follow... but just wanted to make sure everyone understand that odex is better in my book.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Libdawg:
Yeah.....I knew that the other ones didn't have a lot done to them but I didn't even really like the general overall feeling of the gui of cm or miui...I just really like sense.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ChrisAC84:
Flashed this one a couple days ago. This is the first Rom I have ever flashed that I didn't have a single issue with. Everything is smooth, battery life is great (once I flashed the SBC kernel I use) and everything works like it should. Awesome work!
[EVO 4G Android Development] starkillers:
Mik will we be able to flash things like battery percentage from the kitchen with the odex version? What types of tweaks are not possible with odex?
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
i already made a batt percent version for u guys... but unthemed.

now... as always... keep in mind that it is beta... and although my betas are known to be very solid... i do not plan on making tons of mods and theme for it before the final version is out.

so...

i would say... dont even go there yet.

i put a beta out to make sure my base will be solid and then i will start to add on mods and themes as time goes on to make sure addons wont messup things.

keep in mind though... that although i like to help... i need to first make sure what i do works before jumping in to porting other themes and/or mods etc.

edit:

as far as tweaks goes... anything that has to do with smali wont work... but i might do a hybrid version with mostly odex and only deodexed part that will have the tweaks in them.
[EVO 4G Android Development] a senile fungus:
I applaud you for, once again, jumping into unknown territory with your ROMs.

i will add some themes and mods for u guys to test some more in the next 24hrs.

have fun...

yes... this is a stock rom.
[EVO 4G Android Development] cetac:
Very stock ;) And ROCK solid so far in all my testing.
[EVO 4G Android Development] live2ride96:
Well, Mik, glad to see you're staying busy working on something still. ;)

Is this odex thing gonna be a permanent fixture with Mikfroyo from now, or more of an experiment? If it's permanent, I guess I'm stuck on 4.5 (which isn't a bad thing, it's a KILLER rom), because things like the powercontrol dropdown widget were the original reason I rooted my Evo (God, I missed that feature from my Epic before I rooted my Evo). Just curious, that's all.

BTW, check your PM, Chogard. I got that battery mod working now thanks to you.
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
no man.... ill have 2 version... maybe even 3 versions (a hybrid kinda thing).

i like the power control just as much as everyone else... so i will try to make it work with an odex somehow... or worst case... a hybrid like i said.
[EVO 4G Android Development] live2ride96:
Sweet, man. You're a friggin' machine. Hopefully you'll have a rom on the next phone I get after the Evo (IF Sprint ever comes out with anything else). Thanks for everything you do.
[EVO 4G Android Development] plmiller0905:
Do anyone know how to get the sense news widget to work correctly?

It used to be that you can look up any newsfeed, example Android central, Chicago suntime etc. and it would displayed the newsfeed and then you just subscribe to it.

However, now when I search for a newsfeed nothing shows up. I have noticed this issue on a lot of sense roms but not the desire or mytouch 4g ports.

So any help with this would be greatly appreciated..
[EVO 4G Android Development] jadeboy7:
So what was the secret to the battery thing?
[EVO 4G Android Development] selders59:
If Sprint doesn't come out with something like the dual core LG, I just might have to switch to Verizon and go with the Thunderbolt.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jordant2:
Sprint is losing the smartphone battle right now. They're still riding off the evo and now the shift. Seems like everyone else is pushing out new smartphones.

I thought I read on one of your post that the hotspot tweek isn't included. Will there be a way to add it or should I just use wifi tether?
[EVO 4G Android Development] mijjah74:
Does anyone have a screenshot of these? Just wondering what they look like. Thanks
[EVO 4G Android Development] mijjah74:
Chogard, great stuff. Rocking the newest rosie. Works great. Thanks man.

I don't have one but if you want to try it out, I can make you a flashable to revert back if you don't like it.

question

I am new to HTC evo. I am not totally new to android customizing the rom since I am coming from Vibrant. Any idea where I can find step by step process of how to install a custom rom n rooting my phone? I like this rom on this page but I can't really find the instruction. In vibrant, clockwok mod recovery is used to flash the rom. Is it the same? I used to do one click root for vibrant. Not sure how rooting is done with evo. Please PM so that we don't fill up this forum to the max. Thanks in advanced!
[EVO 4G Android Development] madflasher:
unrevoked is simple i used it to root my phone. easier with a mac.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mdixon4az:
As @madflasher stated UnRevoked is a very easy way to root your evo. In the rooting process it will install ClockWork Mod for you. I would imagine flashing the ROM will be identical to what you are familiar with at this point.
[EVO 4G Android Development] selders59:
Here is my new homescreen set up. Also using a blacked out xda app so instead of black text on white background it is black background with white text, same with my gtalk.

Email notifications

This is not specific to Mik's ROM but I hope someone can give me some ideas as to why, on occassion, my phone will give a double notification of a new email. It does not do this every time, though.

I have my email set to notify me with just vibrate when new mail has been received. Most of the time I just get the standard notification by vibrating once and then flashing the LED. Sometimes it will do a double vibrate and I cannot figure out why. It has done this on the stock ROM as well as this one. I have had my phone replaced once. It did it on the old phone too.

I have looked in the settings everywhere I can think of to look. Nothing seems to be weird in the settings. Plus, it does not do it every time. Many times I will find that I only have 1 new message after a double notification.

So, any ideas? Happen to anyone else?

Thanks

Are you using gmail our the htc mail? And if you set up a mail widget on one of your homescreens it will show double cause the homescreen uses the htc mail app, so if you set up gmail and use the htc mail widget you will get double notifications.

[EVO 4G Android Development] Qoolcat:
Great work on your ROM aamikam! So far its the best ROM for me. It's insanely fast and I love that most of the stock Sense features are still here with just some minor tweaks. Your theme looks sweet also!

My only caveat is the lock screen music controls. Is there any way to get the album art to show again? I know most people don't care, but I spend a lot of time making sure all my music has album art to take advantage of programs that display it. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks again for a great ROM! :-)
[EVO 4G Android Development] mdixon4az:
Thanks for the tips, however, I do not use Gmail just the HTC mail app. I do not have any mail widgets on any of my homescreens.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mdixon4az:
I was able to cut and paste my way to the image. Looks good. I like your new mail notification icon. Which theme is that from?
[EVO 4G Android Development] mijjah74:

[EVO 4G Android Development] mijjah74:
I'm using the default theme, slightly modded up. The Messaging Widget is the default theme. I'm using a lot of Chogard blue mods. So thought I might use the inverted blue mms, just didn't know how much blue it has or how it matches up with Chogard Blue.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jadeboy7:
It's the inverted mms from eric blended with the MikBlue theme. Don't know how MikBlue matches up with chogard's blue. Your messaging app right now it from chogard's theme?
[EVO 4G Android Development] mijjah74:
Messaging app right now is default theme. I've added some of Chogards pieces, like the clock and rosie. Here are a couple screen shots.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mdixon4az:
No, it is turned off.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mijjah74:
Don't seem to find this searching, so maybe it hasn't been asked. Is there any way to change the gmail notification icon to match your theme. More or less a themed gmail app?? Thanks
[EVO 4G Android Development] jadeboy7:
I think it's just a .png change in the apk. I can look at it later tonight if you want. Or you can look at this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=890876

I think I read that your using my theme. I forgot to put that in there but I have a flashable zip in my folder under MikFroyo v4.5 for that. It will change the home and app drawer icon as well as the notification icon.(its really just the gmail.apk from MikRoyalBlue theme)

The secret was using the AndroidManifest.xml file and META-INF folder from the original base zip rather than the newly modified ones (actually META-INF disappeared altogether when I recompiled with the new png's and xml).
[EVO 4G Android Development] chogardjr:
META-INF is never included in the rebuilt apk. That is the file that you get when you sign something. But since you can't sign apk's with Sense you have to move the original over to your new apk. No brained right...lol.
