Thanks for the great work here Chingy!

I have a question...perhaps one of you gurus could help me.

Using the dialer in this ROM....I am having a hell of a time using the "Speed Dial" feature. Anytime I try to change the assigments, I get a force closure...the phone works perfectly otherwise.

I have imported my contacts using Titanium...everything works great except the speed dial. I can live with out this, but curious to see if anyone else has had an issue. Do yall think importing a new dialer.apk would work?

Thanks folks!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] blockdoc:
Sorry....I figured it out...
[Droid Incredible Android Development] chingy51o:
anyone have a dedicated ftp server they would like to share?? =)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] JeeperDon:
I'll PM you.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] spence341:
It is entirely possible that by restoring your contacts w/titanium it carried over info from your previous ROM and is the root of your problem.

Non-Transparent Black Notification Background

Someone asked about a non-transparent notification/status bar background a few posts back.

I wanted that too and and the titlebar mods for opacity in post 2 only do the titlebar itself so I created the attached metamorph.

Hope this helps a few folks out.

Thanks to Chingy and Jeeperdon. This metamorph is based on their original work.

having same issue here.

I did not restore contacts with titanium. Have them on my google account so they automatically sync.

Any help would be appreciated. Really missing my speed dial.

000webhost.com does an awesome job w/ there free stuff, i use it in conjunction w/ dreamweaver and usually start with a template from dotemplate.com.

just some starting-up tips =P

PS: if u remove their slideshow and cufont font u can pretty much take out their site link at the bottom, after that they really have no claim to the template(dont remove anything that says "slider1")
[Droid Incredible Android Development] nbanicholas:
i did, that wasnt the problem, reflashed and still happens, im gona see about reflashing the rom, then checking after each custom feature is flashed/applied to see if it remains. i suppose it could be an error caused by clockwork or my phone. I'll repost with the results.

Buddy, hate to sound like an azz, but your sig is a bit much. If you intend to post here a lot, I for one wish you would condense quite a bit. You appear the Lady Gaga of posters.

Regarding titanium restore issues:

I have had this issue and once I started restoring ONLY apps+data and NOT system data did problems go away.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] pmdied:
Question: since this is an EVO framework rom, will Riptide9 ColorNClear v13 work on the incredible?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] chingy51o:
restoring system data is just asking for force closes guys. lol
[Droid Incredible Android Development] nbanicholas:
got it working, i think it may have been a glitch on the rom when i flashed it, everything works fine now, although i didnt do the htc lockscreen i dont think that would cause that. thx for the help!

Flashing any mods not found in the 2nd post on page 1 will break the optimizations that make this ROM what it is. There should be enough themes/mods in that post to keep you busy

Is anyone else noticing the awake time being the same as the up? Mine hasn't been sleeping.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] chingy51o:
Its probably an app you installed that causing it. Go in spare parts and see what app it is

So I just flashed this ROM and installed a handful of the mods and the MetaMorph themes (all on the first try and without a single issue, thanksverymuch), and I cannot believe how fast this ROM is flying. It's a freak and I love it. Thanks, chingy. I have yet to reinstall my apps, but finger crossed that everything gets along.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] bluewave53:
hey sorry if this has been asked before but is this rom able to be installed on the new 3.0 clockworkmod recovery? i didnt see it mentioned in OP. anyways the error i get when i try to flash in recovery is amend scripting was deprecated by google. do i just flash an older recovery and give it a try?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] koresho:
Anyone have any ideas on this? Sorry to ask again, but it's quite an issue.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] chingy51o:
wipe ad reflash then call *228
[Droid Incredible Android Development] koresho:
Alright, I'll give that a try. Thanks for the info :)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] JeeperDon:
Does it fail immediately after you load the ROM with a wipe, with zero customization? If that makes calls, you are breaking it after that. No one else here has that problem, so it's not a base ROM issue.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] egeorgia:
Is there a way to make a clear notification pull down with the clear notifications ? Or at least 50% I just am not fond of the silver notifications. Thanks !

sent from my Incredible using Tapa Talk
[Droid Incredible Android Development] koresho:
Yep, all I did was go through the initial setup.

I tried chingy's suggestion of calling *228 and also flashed the 9.18 radio (was using a very old one), and it is working fine now apparently, so not sure what the deal was.

Thanks for the help- and chingy, this is one awesome rom. Your claims of it being fast are so true. Thanks!

True. However, curiosity just killed this cat. I flashed v13 and it seems to be working fine. Buuuuut, I have a nandroid just in case.

LOL, it will still work perfectly fine, the optimizations have been broken, that's all. I'd rather have the ROM running the way it's intended than having a theme installed, to each his own, though

I know this is a petty and minor issue related to the Evo framework, but is there any way to remove *2 from the #2 speed dial slot? I've searched the forums, googled, but I have a hard time believing that no one has been able to remove Sprint's Customer Service line. I've had the same phone number on speed dial #2 for a decade, and moving it will throw off every other speed dial number.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] JeeperDon:
I for one would like to know exactly what is involved in the 'optimization' process. What is broken? I'd like the science, not the religion.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] dvdivx:
I really like the way you laid out your mod for different download options. Good Job.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] WormDoes:
Haha, I actually would be interested in knowing as well
[Droid Incredible Android Development] pmdied:
It seems to me that the rom, with the Evo version of v13, runs the same as without. But, I am no programmer or the like. Always curious, though.

For those interested in using Riptide9's theme on this rom it seems to mesh well. Call me guinea pig.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] bjames23:
Chingy, FINALLY A GREAT ROM. I love 2.3 mostly because there are finally a great selection of themes. BLUE THEME FINALLY!!!! Thank you! I will soon be donating....
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jmak512:
I got to say this Rom is awesome look how great it looks!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] obiwan1963:
Here is a start to understanding how this ROM is optimized. I got the link from post #18:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=878670. From what I understand, changing the theme also changes the framework. Here is an explanation of what the framework is: http://developer.android.com/guide/basics/what-is-android.html. I found this to be helpful in understanding android and ROMs in general.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] JeeperDon:
Those links say 'optimization' in phone ROM context simply means to get rid of all unneeded files, components, and images. There is no fancy compression tools or anything.

Given that as true, flashing anything not custom for this ROM (meaning not Chingy's alteration of the base 2.3) can indeed result in extra crap added to the phone, what is referred to as 'breaking the optimization', though there is not really one magic thing to 'break'. Flashing one 'dirty' apk does not alter the cleanliness of the others.

Things added to the ROM from via Metamorph though, especially small things such as our usual image replacement, does not effect 'optimization' since MM only replaces existing contents (files) of an apk package rather than fully replacing it. This may not be true of all MM mods, but does for many of the ones we have mentioned here.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jlss:
Huge help, thank you very much.

In case anyone else runs into this issue, let me give a few details about how I screwed up:

1 | Error regarding E: disk space when I attempted to flash the ROM;

2 | Thanks to holden56's advice, I updated HBOOT;

3 | Unfortunately, thinking that newer must *always* be better, I'd previously updated CWM to 3.0.0.5. DO NOT DO THIS! THE NEW CWM 3.0.0.5 DOES NOT SUPPORT THE UPDATE SCRIPTS FOUND IN THIS ROM (likely most others, as well)!;

4 | Since I'd already performed a full wipe before I ran into uber errors in CWM, I ended up restoring from a nandroid backup;

5 | Back with a ROM, I ran unrevoked again to get the old recovery back;

6 | After that, I was able to wipe and flash the ROM.

For those wondering, I did try to run an old recovery image (PB31IMG.zip) in HBOOT, but unfortunately it didn't "stick". On reboot my DINC reverted to CWM 3. I may have gone at this the long way, but thought I'd throw it out there in case anyone else runs into something similar.

[Droid Incredible Android Development] JeeperDon:
Before making this sort of statement, be sure you mean it is FOR Gingerbread, or SUPPORTS Gingerbread. I can't imagine any developer with a brain making a v3.0 from a v2.5 that didn't do what v2.5 did an more. I would more suspect that there may have been a bug in the new v3.0 (and there was, which is why it's at 3.0.0.5 now).
[Droid Incredible Android Development] mb02:
You tell someone to research before stating something, but do not do so yourself. You act pretty intelligent but do not seem to be so. CWM3 does not support any of the old update-sctipts. Currently most update-scripts are based off of Donut, but koush is trying to move out of this by making it unsupported in CWM3, only allowing the new update-scripts. Hence, you cannot flash a lot of mods due to this. This is not Gingerbread related.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jlss:
Correct. I'll edit my prior post accordingly. Thanks.

[Droid Incredible Android Development] jlss:
I was using 3.0.0.5, and could have been more precise. I've edited my prior post accordingly.

I haven't had any problems with CWM since the update.. I've flashed a couple mods and a couple kernals with no issues..
[Droid Incredible Android Development] KGBxxx:
This is themed by Chogardjr from the milkfroyo rom thread in evo forum. Both roms have reingeneered tweaks.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] mb02:
Some people have already been using the new updater-scripts for a while in their mods/roms so some will work, also since the release of this new CWM and the realization of what Koush is trying to do, a lot of the devs are working to migrate to this new updater-script so that people can use the new CWM and still flash their mods.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] swatmedic911:
Chingy, I've been running this new one for a few days and all I gotta say is WOW! This thing is running great and I've had zero problems! I'm rockin' the red theme and a few of the other mods and just wanted to say THANKS! You did a great job on this one! Can't see how you could improve much on it but I'm looking forward to it!

Kernels were fine. It was the ROM that created the error. Let us know please if you have luck flashing a ROM with 3.0.0.5 please. Thanks.

I know this really isnt a big deal and im not complaining at all, i love this rom, i'm just wondering if anyone else is having low quadrant scores? mine are generally in the 1100 area when running ziggy's at 1 ghz, and ziggy's have always had the highest quad scores for me (usually high 1500s at 1ghz on other roms)

Thought you would like that. Lol but really don't think your gonna find great quad scores on this rom. Unless you overclock to 119 kill all processes then run the quad test. Then maybeeeee you'll get what you want. Lol

[Droid Incredible Android Development] chingy51o:
are you using the vanilla or htc lockscreen?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] titans808:
The HTC lockscreen, I thought the no album art feature looked great and never saw that feature before, wondering what file it was that controls it or what file you modified
[Droid Incredible Android Development] chingy51o:
it was removed from the apk. HtcLockscreen.apk. you can pull the apk from another rom and push it to your phone.

What font is used for this ROM? My wife really likes it and I'm going to try to find a ROM for her Droid that uses it. Too bad this isn't on the Droid too, it is a really nice ROM! Keep up the good work!

There is an app called font changer that let's you make any rom any font you have (you already have font files on your computer!) . For instance I'm running this rom in comic sans ms.

Oh I'm very much happy with this beastly ROM! I switched from virtuous and so far I don't see myself wanting to go back :D

Just one question though, idk if this has been asked already, but is it possible to take out the "black" icons in the menu and re-place the stock "gray" icons? It's just that it's inconsistent with some applications such as launcherpro or dropbox. It's not that big of a deal, but it'd be nice if it can be fixed. :) Thank you!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] khukman:
Which Font

Thanks! I'll definitely check it out. But I would still like to know what font is being used for this ROM.

Thanks in advance!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] chingy51o:
yeah its pretty much impossibe to get all of the menu icons because some apps have their own independent ones within the apks. i could but it would take awhile as i would have to go through over 100 apks. ill get to it eventually.. lol
[Droid Incredible Android Development] JeeperDon:
Wow, thanks for the pointer. I always liked that font. I got the app, copied the font from Win7 and now have it here too.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] axv91:
Oh i thought i'd just have to re-flash the gingerbread theme without the black icons (or something like that). Lol but going through 100 apks? Nah its alright, I can live with it. It doesn't have to be more perfect. :D

[Droid Incredible Android Development] milesnapue:
Searched the thread to no avail. Has anyone had problems with sms timestamps. I cleared everything and loaded the newest version of this rom, did a *228 option 1, reboot, *228 option 2. Without loading anything, downloading anything, restoring anything my sms timestamps are messed up. Sent sms show the correct time but all sms's recieved show two hours ahead. I am using the latest Evo Radio if that would make any difference. Though my timestamps with this radio on SR 3.5 were fine. Any help would be appreciated. also using the kernel that comes with the rom.

Fix for ya

I had the same "issue"...it appears to be related to the dialer ported from the evo.

I simply pulled different dialer from an another rom and pushed it into the system folder....reboot...and voila

Actually, even easier...

Copy the .apk into your sd card.....use es file explorer or something similar to copy the file and move it into your system/app folder. It will ask you if you want to "overwrite"....do it and then reboot.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] axv91:
I actually just noticed that too! The virtuous kernel def charges faster, but is it possible to use that with this rom? (Sry but I'm a total noob when it comes to kernels) :P
[Droid Incredible Android Development] derickmc:
I'm running ziggy's latest HAVS BFS kernal. Great battery life (going on 16 hours now and still 40% left with lots of texting, couple short calls and web browsing) and it seems to charge faster than Lou's #9. You should be able to use whatever kernal virtuous uses with this rom but take note you might not get the same performance.

Yes. See my post on page 268. #2674. Good luck.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] JeeperDon:
I tried this with Root Explorer. The 'acore' did an immediate FC loop. Upon battery pull reboot, things w2ere a bit screwed up, no dialer, rosie left button dead, but invoking dialer via contacts worked and it dialed. I restored to last backup and all is well. Tried it a couple different ways.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] JeeperDon:
Related to the above Dialer issue. After the restore (back to my typical 2.3 not too fancy with mods), I find I'm getting a Force Close from 'acore' when I try to do any SpeedDial work in the dialer included by Chingy.

[Edit: The 'acore' thing is my problem. Apparently using Titanium Restore to back up phone data breaks the ability to set Speed Dial entries. It might be a bug someplace, but I'm ok loosing the speed dial data in a disaster so won't be restoring that.]
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jbdan:
I haven't had any issue with speed dials on 2.2 or 2.3 it's been rock solid.

And someone mentioned Lou's charged slow? I don't know about 9 as I have not used it, but the stock kernel with IR 2.3 charges super quick which is Lou's #8.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] JeeperDon:
Now I'm a bit between a rock and a hard place. As a test of the Speed Dial thing, I backed up and tried to reinstall 2.3 clean, but I ran into the CWM v3 problem (no back compat poor dev decision in my opinion). So now I have an issue or two I'd line to fix (rock), wish to reinst 2.3 clean, but can't (hard place) because apparently Chingy's install script is in the old format.

Hey Matthew, is it tough to fix the main 2.3 install script? [Help may be here?]
