Also one last thing if you don't know how to odin back to stock I suggest reading up to it. It's very useful if anything screws up......there is a wiki page on it.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Haloruler64:
Big question. When you rotate the phone, the status bar background (in themes like Darkness, with a design) gets messed up because it's shaped for our screen and not a small piece that gets tiled like the original. Can you make a landscape version of the background? I noticed in TouchWiz30Launcher.apk there is a homescreen_icon_bg.png and homescreen_icon_bg_h.png the latter being for a horizontal orientation of the launcher. Can we apply this concept to a custom made portrait AND landscape drawer background in twframework-res.apk? I would really like to know if it is possible, but am not asking for the creation of the background. I can make my own, but I need to know how to make it work.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CuriousTech:
I think you have to create a layout-land and layout-port folder and put something in there. Hopefully someone else will chime in.

A simpler idea might be to modify status_bar_expanded.xml to have multiple images for the background and bottom bar, like 3 where the center is fixed and the outer 2 are tiled matched up to look seamless of course. Or just allow certain parts to be stretched and some not with draw9patch.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Haloruler64:
Thanks a lot for your post, I looked into status_bar_expanded but couldn't find anything applicable. Looked at status_bar.xml and it contains all the info on status_bar_background in the vertical position. How would you put it all into horizontal? Would you have to edit the existing xml or make a new one in layout-land? Could I just copy it into layout-land and edit in some new filenames and stuff?

EDIT: You know how to signify a file it says @drawable/statusbar_background? Does this actually refer to status_bar_background.9.png? And how would you signify a drawlable-land destination? @drawable-land/statusbar_background?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CuriousTech:
That's mostly what I don't understand yet. In framework-res there are 3 folders:

layout

layout-land

layout-port

icon_menu_layout.xml is in land and port and not in just layout. I think because layout is default for both, and land or port is used for those modes if the file doesn't exist in layout. Just like an xml in drawable can replace an image if the same name is used. But I think there's more to it than that. I tried creating a layout-land and layout-port and moved status_bar_expanded.xml to both and it looked normal both ways. I would think that layout-land would automatically use the drawable-land images too. Something else is missing.

EDIT: Oh yes @drawable/statusbar_background is the png in drawable-hdpi, unless there's actually a drawable/statusbar_background.xml which would make it use that instead. I just don't know where drawable-land-hdpi fits in.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Haloruler64:
Inside the XML there is a "vertical" and "horizontal" section, you'd have to change that too. I have changed it and will try it tonight in my framework. I just don't understand the references it makes too well...
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CuriousTech:
I've been trying to find a simple reference, but I guess most of it's here:

http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/ui/layout-objects.html

Or around that area of the docs. The vertical/horizontal I think is the alignment of objects in a group. I don't think it has to do with land/port.

This looks interesting too. I just found it. It looks like a way to view layouts on the computer.

http://developer.android.com/guide/developing/tools/hierarchy-viewer.html
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Haloruler64:
I honestly don't know what that stuff means with a headache, so I can't understand what the links refer to, sorry
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CuriousTech:
It's all really disorganized or I'm just used to Microsoft docs. The xml corelates with the android classes for coding java. So xml is used sort of like html tables where everything is nested so you can have rows or collumns of buttons (horiz/vert) or menus or whatever, but the elements used are all the members of the android class. It's just so hard to find the meaning of each one.

[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] dnalevelc:
I will give it a try. I've tested my nandroid and it works perfect so I'm not worried about a few flashes. I will report back on it in a few minutes.

***Boot loops when you try it.

[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] yokken:
this rom IS rooted, but you have to download Superuser from the market yourself. i ran into the same titanium backup problems.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] cloverdale:
Did you also use bcnice20's kernel?
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] yokken:
just installed it and i didn't even make it to the sprint 4G screen. :( but the rom itself booted and worked and everything.

I have to wipe data/Factory reset when flashing this right over stock ROM?
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] oboroninja:
Yeah its always a good idea to wipe data/factory, and dalvik before flashing any rom.

i d/l the miui, installed that

wanted to revert back

so i install this one

so i redownloaded this file again and still updated the miui.

it never installed as a full rom. :confused:

yes, full factory reset wipe data everytime

[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] rquinn19:
As you stated you restored to a stock rom first. This is not a full rom and that's very dissapointing and misleading.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] jesusice:
Yeah, I feel violated. I'm heading straight to the BBB ;)

^ Shift Faced
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] rquinn19:
I'm not complaining as much as I just hoped I had a stock(ish) rom to go back to without having to ruu
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] jesusice:
Won't this plus a data/factory reset do it?

^ Shift Faced
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] riggsandroid:
Yup.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] Compusmurf:
Because of eMMC, you need to manually mount the /system and /data in recovery before installing this. If you didn't do that, it's probably not going to "do" anything for you. YMMV. :)
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] jesusice:
What I'd love to have is a stock ROM that swallows it's own tail. On my Moment I had one that sent me straight to stock, no recovery, no root. Good for returning to Sprint.

[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] Compusmurf:
RUU that bad boy and you'll be as stock as you can get!!!!!!
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] zeropants:
Yeah, that sounds exactly like what the RUU does.

Nope

And that's probably why
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] riggsandroid:
A man of few condescending words...

Thanks for being so enlightening and pretty much just reinforcing the three quoted posts (so what did you really add?)

can't the mounting issue be resolved by adding an update script?
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] d1msum4lyfe:
try installing this without restoring nandroid.

you'll see what i mean
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] Compusmurf:
Yes, it surely can, but those of us who use dsixda's kitchen and are used to it have to remember to manually edit it and add mountpoints ourselves.

It is something to keep in mind tho as more folks start customizing roms, that not everyone is going to know how to do that. So, it's good for the user installing them to also know the OTHER methods and workarounds.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] riggsandroid:
I just didn't get the point of his post - he didn't provide any other information other than terse responses to points already made....
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] Dread 7us:
I just gave that a try. I did factory reset/data wipe and wiped cache. Then flashed this rom. It booted up just fine and took me through the setup wizard.

which rom was still installed?

stock-er?

miui?

cm6?

speedyhd?
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] Dread 7us:
So my bad apparently I was on stock so that's why it went through the setup wizard. I went back and restored my miui nandroid then wiped everything and flashed this. You sir are correct as miui booted up. Now I see what you're talking about lol wasn't trying to argue or anything.

How do I root this? I had it install the zip in recovery and wireless tether won't work and neither will titanium backup.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] cloverdale:
Try downloading superuser from the market.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] cachorropedorro:
I have superuser on it. Sorry I forgot to mention that.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] cloverdale:
Try uninstalling and reinstalling superuser.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] cachorropedorro:
Around how many times would you recommend? I've done it 14 times so far (uninstalling then reinstalling).
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] cloverdale:
I am sorry, I really do not know what to suggest then. Did you wipe before flashing this ROM?
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] cachorropedorro:
Yes I wiped data/factory reset and Dalvik cache.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] cloverdale:
The only other thing I can suggest is wiping and flashing until it works. Otherwise, I am out of suggestions.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] cachorropedorro:
Ok I'll try that.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] yokken:
this rom is pretty much broken. i don't think it's a full rom... if you flash miui and then clear data/cache/dalvik and flash this, when you reboot, miui comes up. so... yeah it doesn't really work.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] d1msum4lyfe:
:D

Now, who'd like to make a stock deodexed rom lol
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] Compusmurf:
The mnt commands are NOT in the updater script, you have to mount system and data first before flashing, then you'll also have to manually format SYSTEM and DATA first.

Remember, this was designed as a BASE for devs to work from to make their own roms from right from the kitchen (which hasn't been updated for the Evo Shift and emmc devices.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] byancey:
I manually mounted and formatted both System and Data, and then flashed this ROM. The result was that my EVO Shift froze at the HTC screen...didn't get far. This ROM may be useful as a base for developers, but it doesn't appear to be useful on it's own. Restoring from backup now...and then off to search for another deodexed ROM for my shift so that I can do some customizing. :)

I am new to android..my coworkers and I would really love to have wifi in the office....but not twenty a month.is it possible to get around this?
[Droid X General] x.v_:
Of course! Just root your phone (search "z4root" [on XDA] for the easy way), and then install Android Wireless Tether from the market.
[Droid X General] cypherx82:
I would say do what was mentioned but instead download Barnacle Wifi Tether.
[Droid X General] Droid-Xer:
Barnacle is an ad hoc setup and some devices have a hard time tethering with it. Wireless Tether is far superior especially with its latest update which allows a better truer connection than ad hoc.
[Droid X General] wad3g:
Barnacle worked great on my D1, but I've never got it working consistently on my DX. Wireless Tether on the other hand works every time.
[Droid X General] Zudovex:
I use both barnacle and wireless tether. I did a bunch of speed tests and wireless does fair a bit better. I get about 8% faster dl speeds with wireless 2.6 vs 2.4 and the latency was about twice as quick, 135 vs 250. Up is about the same regardless which i use.

I also have issues with some devices not seeing barnacle, my laptop sees it fine while my desktop does not.

However with wireless tether my connections stalls out sometimes when my phone sleeps, it happens occasionally with barnacle but not nearly as often. So for me I use barnacle when streaming movies from Netflix or hulu and wireless tether the rest of the time.

Beamed from my robot X using the XDA app
[Droid X General] ksmitchell:
I would also suggest wireless tether as it now supports infrastructure mode.
[Droid X General] owenbeals:
Dont have to root, just turn on 3g then toggle on airplane mode then toggle it back off, free tethering!!
[Droid X General] mattmartin77:
they are both basically the same thing but wireless tether now supports infrastructure mode! so now its more like a router than a wireless hotspot app. and i dont think z4root is on the market, so here is a link. download it from your phone and use astro to navigate to download and install it.

when you open the link it will automatically download. http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=446145&d=1290341328

The TBH hack is the same as the new Wireless Tether, they both have infrastructure. Wireless Tether is no longer ad hoc.
[Droid X General] L o 5 t Y:
There is a wired tether aswell if you prefer to use a usb connection. Avaible AFTER your phone is rooted of course

No, I've seen it posted before and from what I've heard it works. But I just use wireless tether or barnacle from the market.
[Droid X General] French.:
I actually tried a variant of this, posted on the first page of this thread, where you open hotspot tether then turn airplane mode on then off. I'm able to keep the hotspot connection going, but it isn't working with my computer. It recognizes the phone but shows a big red X going from my computer to the Internet.

I'm only posting this because I'm wondering if something might have changed recently that the functionality has been blocked.
[Droid X General] drowens:
PDA.NET seems to be the only one that keeps a constance speed. You can tether with USB or Bluetooth. I perfer it of all the other wifi thethers. The wifi one's speed seem to drop after 5 mins or so of using.
