No worries man, just let me know how it goes.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] datajosh:
Yeah, that's the one :( I decided to be cheap too and the reviews were good at the time but now I'm regretting it. Newegg has a pretty good exchange policy though if it dies. I just hope my second one doesn't go out too because then I might have to go through Wintec when it does.

Hey bro I tried that method but my MicroSD won't read at all now like if i go to Computer>Removeable Disk G>Format it doesnt do anything but freeze the computer and it keeps saying "Not Responding" no matter how many times i close out and try again..Maybe this MicroSD is just destroyed. It doesn't even show up on the SDformatter it just says "Not Responding" also haha

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
You can try these steps...

Powered off phone

Removed SD card

Reinserted SD card

Plug phone into laptop and turned back on

Unplug from laptop

I think it is dead, cuz I did some searching, and I can't find anything else to do for it...sorry man.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davidc23:
its okay bro honestly, thanks for all the help :) also what ROM and kernel are u using and how is your battery life?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
Glad its all good. :)

Been off the charger all day since 4am and still at about 25%...though I did some ehavy using today. Having pretty good battery life, around a day

And I'm on:

2.6.37 savaged-zen HAVS-CFS kernel

CM7 w/ WiMax [based off of build 24]

CM7 Nightlies

Mikfroyo....though I only use it to update my PRL and flash back.

Yourself?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davidc23:
Fresh rom only because of sprint stock theme and sense & I can't find a rom that gives me good battery life. All I do if text :/ any help?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
Well I highly reccomend CM7....great themes, and with the savaged zen kernel, i get great battery life. Crisp rom, its fast, though its AOSP, highly customizable...I say give it a shot. Though they are nightlies, they are fairly stable; I don't have any trouble out of them. :)

Edit: If you're looking for sense, i hear Mikfroyo, Azrael, and Evio are great.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davidc23:
Yeah I was once a cm7 nightly user myself but I get low signal :/
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
Ah I see...well then I suggest the other sense roms I listed. :)

Also, for gingerbread, Evervolv isn't too bad either.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davidc23:
Haha okay :)do u know where I can get the stock theme? So I can flash it over mikfroyo rom

[Android Themes] go3asy:
Ok so I needed to edit a line in Framework-res.apk res/[vaule/style.xml] to change the colour of the bottom menu popup text.

in style.xml all i changed was:

Had nothing but bother decompiling and re compiling my already themed [changed png's] framework-res then after a bit of searching seen that I cant decompile/recompile an edited apk. So I started with a fresh framework-res.apk from the firmware I have [eclair xperia x10] and decompiled edited the styles.xml and recompiled all went OK, file size was a few MB smaller than the original but none of the files appeared to be missing. So i went ahead and put my PNGs back into this one in drawable-hdpi after recompile. When adding to my theme package and installing via recovery I just get stuck on boot, assumed it needed signed so signed the frameward-res.apk with auto-sign then put it back in my custom.zip for recovery, re install via recovery still stuck on boot. When installing my previous theme version [with the original framework-res with just the edited PNG's] it boots back up fine.

Can anyone help here? all i need is the text to be white on the bottom menu ppup after changing the background to black and icons to white lol, doing my head in

Cheers,

heres the APK i aded to my zip, this is the one that should have the edited style.xml and also my updated drawable PNG's and signed with auto-sign. Was so much easier beforehand when I could just put the PNG files into the apk using winrar, this is driving me crazy lol wish i didnt have the idea to have the blank menu lol

After the no luck with APKTOOL i done this with APKMANAGER, but signed with auto-sign a APKManager said not to sighn system apk's! Why i originally tried using it without signing!

I love Sense and can't see getting away from it. But there's so much hype about CM that I'm getting curious about it. What's so great about it or what makes it better? I thought its just a basic version of Android??

CM6/7 is the open source phone I wanted.
[EVO 4G General] chickut123:
The major thing for me was the bluetooth stack in sense doesn't support the connection for a wii mote, but CM6/7 does.
[EVO 4G General] diversificationied:
Um...no.

CM is AOSP plus a whole slew of features that should have been default in AOSP.

CM is far from a vanilla rom.
[EVO 4G General] willy900wonka:
Have you ever wanted to redesign a thing so it would be right?

Well here it is. The code is there to be touched. The devs have sweated into it. Its not data mining for Google though it can be. It's not spinning frames though it can track context.

Take others' advice and read up.

As for me, I'll know when my transition criteria are in cm.
[EVO 4G General] akarol:
I heard that it is faster than other ROMS but the battery life is inferior to Fresh Custom ROM and others. Is this true?

Also, call me crazy, but AOSP is just plain and ugly. =/
[EVO 4G General] elegantai:
I get the same battery life on sense roms that I do on cm.

With cm7, there is a 'theme chooser' app which is pretty cool. There are only 3 themes right now but i am sure it is easy to make your own.

Also, there are cool things like quite times, gestures, goggles (prevents you from drunk texting, lol), and settings so you can tweak basically any aspect of the phone.

It really comes down to preference is all. If you havent tried it out you should, you never know if you will like it or not :D
[EVO 4G General] akarol:
True. I know that it is as customizable as it gets, but I am reluctant to leaving the aesthetics of Sense behind. I know it can be quite unnecessary, but some of it is actually pretty useful. I specially like how it handles "People" where it syncs the information with Facebook, Twitter, etc. and segregates all relevant TXTs, e-mails, profile updates to that specific contact. Does AOSP have a similar option?
[EVO 4G General] elegantai:
I am not the social network kinda guy so I am not sure. I'm not going to say there is an app for that because I would have no idea lol! :D

I can totally see someone digging sense, as I have used myn's and it is definitely visually appealing. I have also used MIUI and I can see how people like that also.

You can always do a full nandroid and return to your original rom after you try it out. More or less, just wanted to make sure people knew it wasn't just a plain jane rom :D

[EVO 4G General] dreamliner330:
This.

I installed CM on my EVO and got annoyed because it wasn't the Vanilla ROM I wanted. It used ADW for a desktop and the Visual Voicemail and 4G didn't work. Lame.

Of all the ROMS, Fresh (all though probably the most conservative) seems to be the most stable.
[EVO 4G General] elegantai:
Wow, I am so confused...
[EVO 4G General] aamikam:
i wanna jump in for a sec and drop my opinion on it in a very short way.

u like sense and sense widgets and the sense look... dont use cm.

if u dont like it at all (sense that is) and would like something more plain with tons of options to tweak (cuz u can have fun with the source code if u wish) go with cm.

i think simple users will enjoy sense a lot more, and the more advanced ones will enjoy cm.

i could be wrong here but thats my opinion.

personally i also think cm is too plain and boring as is... but if u start to really get into it and start coding and change everything to be how u want it to be... its probably more fun.

thats why we make custom roms btw... cuz we dont like what the company gives us... and i look at cm as sort of a mini company also... i think u get my point.
[EVO 4G General] novanosis85:
Not much. Stick with sense. Much better.

[EVO 4G General] kidram:
I used sense for awhile love it then went to use cm7 aka gingerbread thats another thing cm is already updated to gingerbread while sense is still with 2.2 froyo sucks but o well. cm7 is freaking fast probably the fastest rom i have used and i gotta say i love cm but i went back to sense and i just cant leave sense it just makes sense i love the sense dialer very easy to use. SO heres my opinion CM is for speed and customizing and sense is for more of a normal user, very easy to use. I am runing sense right now and i am loving it.
[EVO 4G General] matt2053:
CM is light and fast. The whole ROM is like maybe 80 MB while lots of Sense ROMs are 200 or 300 MB. Its just lighter with a smaller footprint and as a result is very fast. Sense includes some great stuff but it also includes some stuff I don't need or want. And I just prefer to keep it simple and only have things I use on my phone.
[EVO 4G General] msjr405:
I LOVE both and run Sense ROM's(Myn,Virus,Calkulin) and CM6 & CM7 Nighties. I always end up back at the CM Roms. The speed is awesome, battery life, very customizable, and just amazing. CM is not just a AOSP Rom or like the OP said a Rom using ADW Launcher. It is Android coding at its best, on no other Rom can the user control more aspects of the system then CM. Dont get me wrong i love Sense its dated but the best Android overlay out there but performance wise it cant hang with CM.
[EVO 4G General] xfullmetal17:
Sense is good for the overlay (that flip clock was the deciding factor between the Evo and the Epic) but really it's all a matter of taste. I was thinking of flashing CM in the near future... Love MIUI for the battery conservation but occasionally the "management" it does causes the power button to become unresponsive. Plus that graphical battery indicator at the top is badass, if I could get that off of MIUI and onto CM I might switch.
[EVO 4G General] Shigster:
You could just get beautiful widgets and get the Sense Flip clock look. One thing I love about that widget is that the Time takes you to Alarms, the Weather takes you to 5 day forecast and Date takes you to Calendar. Plus it's highly customizable =D
[EVO 4G General] :
Except for HDMI(WIP) and widget "eye candy" there isn't anything in Sense that cant be duplicated in CM. There are however things in CM that aren't duplicated in Sense. Here are some examples:

A proper BT stack CM has it, Sense doesn't. (keyboard, mouse, gamepad, etc)

Zoom while recording video. Again CM wins (main reason why I always return to CM)

Open source = faster bug fix and improvements (when ws the last time you were able to install a nightly fix/upgrade in sense)
[EVO 4G General] :
That's crap. Sense is alot further integrated into the phone than CM is.
[EVO 4G General] beezy69:
how do you get facebook pics to sync with contacts in cm7
[EVO 4G General] Neipas09:
That's the funniest **** i've ever heard!

CM is FAAAAAR from basic.

It has more settings and options and chances for you to **** up your phone to the point that you have to format and reflash.

Yes CM removes the bloatware that sprint forces upon the phone. But it replaces it with ungodly amounts of tweaking and settings that you spend all day digging through just to get the phone setup how YOU want it, and not how the developer thinks it should look like.
[EVO 4G General] bigjack100:
I love sense too. ASOP is fun as you can build your own interface w/o access to HTC stuff.

You might want to try MIUI - I LOVE IT ! For me, it's better than both sense & asop. Only drawback (for me) is that it doesn't have 4g. Hopefully the developers will take care of the soon. In the meantime, they've done a great job.
[EVO 4G General] drmacinyasha:

[EVO 4G General] elegantai:
Agree to an extent. It started out kinda good, someone curious about cm with people in the beginning trying to say it is a matter of preference and it doesnt hurt to try cm out just to see if he/she might like it. Then all of a sudden posts bashing cm for whatever reason. Took something that could be good and enlightening and ran into the ground. :(
[EVO 4G General] Greenfieldan:
CM is pretty much stock Android. It's faster and more efficient than sense. However, a lot of people really like using sense widgets/applications/features so they stick with that. I'm pretty much on Sense because of Myn. If he made an AOSP ROM, I'd probably jump ship to that though.
[EVO 4G General] drdrewdown:
ugggh i have nothing nice or constructive to say, so i'll just stfu.

worthless thread.
[EVO 4G General] sandpa:
The things that you dislike about CM ( ungodly amounts of tweaking and settings) are the exact same things that I love about CM. I have tried a lot of ROMS both AOSP and Sense and using anything other than CM I feel very restricted and boxed in.

Liking a ROM or not is very subjective and depends on where you are coming from. I write C++ for a living and my idea of a fun day at work is to track down a hard to find memory leak. So I like stuff that can be tweaked to the max.
[EVO 4G General] akarol:
How much faster is CM compared to most other ROMs? Please try to provide some numbers if possible.
[EVO 4G General] drdrewdown:

I noticed a nice change in battery life from switching from sense based roms to cm6 and now cm7. Plus the phone is a lot smoother and happier.
[EVO 4G General] brooklyn2austin:
+1 on the phone being happier....my battery life has been doubled. I like having BT in CM for the wiimote another plus.
[EVO 4G General] akarol:
Really?! You find it necessary to be a **** and not give us your opinion while expecting me to go through the entire hassle of backing up, flashing a new ROM, and testing it out to find out if it's faster or not?

Thanks!
[EVO 4G General] DisrupterZ:
I went from Stock to evo fresh and noticed an improvement. Then I went to CM6 and noticed a better improvement as far as performance and battery life. Ive been running cm7 for a week now and flashed the new wimax version today. CM7 has been lasting me 2 days with decent amount of texting, internet, and gaming. It will last longer with no gaming. I have yet to see how long it will last with 4g enabled. I just did a speed test with the 4g enabled and hit 10.33mbs download speed in Queen, NY.
[EVO 4G General] dzuchowski:
ok the asop roms are a trade off... its a love hate thing...

hate it because on evo

the epst codes dont work

front cam on hardware v4 dont work

no hdmi

no gps

no apps 2 sd yet... what gives

love because its fast and gapps restores your programs.... to some extent when you redo the rom from scratch....
[EVO 4G General] Justin.G11:
uhhh ...

.... on "AOSP" you absolutely have GPS, front facing CAM, and Apps2SD... only the EPST codes and HDMI dont work on your list.

Are you confusing AOSP with some specific build that still being worked on?
[EVO 4G General] DisrupterZ:
yeah im gonna agree, the only one Im not sure I have because I have never used it is the hdmi.
[EVO 4G General] tdusen:
The only reason I stay with Sense roms is HTC Sync. It's the only way I've found to sync my calendar with my desktop Outlook.

And before you suggest... I don't want to sync through google, I don't have exchange and I don't want to use an alternate calendar. I just want to sync outlook with the built in calendar, so that other software that relies on calendar entries will continue to work. Anyone know of a way to do that?
[EVO 4G General] bugaboo90:
I keep bouncing back and forth between Fresh and CM7. The thing about Fresh I like is the dialer, working 4G (in CM7 I know), EPST codes.

But the main reason I mainly stick with CM7 are the following feature..

1) On lockscreen, I have set up a quick down swipe to unlock it. In Sense, you have to downswipe a lot or do the rotary thing and I just don't care. I really like the quick down swipe and I'm good... I have also setup a gesture that lets me go to SMS, Dialer, mute and other things right from the lock screen.

2) I like the gestures in the CM7 SMS application.. (not sure if this is in sense or not)

CM7 seems a little faster but to be honest, it doesn't make a whole heck of difference for what I do, which is text, navigation, angry bird and oh ya make calls...

I have no clue about battery life because I am generally near a charger and when it goes to red, I charge it...

I am sure there is a lot I can do w/CM7 that I'm not, but this is all I need to do to make me productive

Plus don't forget the cool factor :)
[EVO 4G General] akarol:
Interesting... I'm actually quite intrigued by CM7 now and will most likely give it a go on my new device.

Quick question though. What does EPST codes do and why does everyone keep mentioning it?
[EVO 4G General] abrigham:
The EPST codes are the # codes for programming/debugging, like ##3424#, etc.
[EVO 4G General] :
one difference is that sense doesn't have thousands of people on the developer's nut s-iz-ack
[EVO 4G General] HipKat:
My first custom ROM i had on mine was CM7 Nightly, and I love all the options, the clean look, but I like the depth of how sense looks more.'Battery life isn't really an issue for me, becasue I have chargers and USB cables all over the place, so I can just plug inwhen I need to, but my battery life is OK anyhow.

I went back to a Senseui Rom with no regrets. I guess I like flash over flat in my old age....
[EVO 4G General] tdusen:
I had to try it for myself, so I installed the CM7 nightly. I like the amount of configuration available, but GPS does not work. I restored back to MikFroyo.
[EVO 4G General] drdrewdown:
GPS works pretty damn good for me. you just need to fix it yourself.

since you are already on a sense rom, open the dialer & do ##GPSCLRX# you will need your MSL, then you can flash/restore a cm7 build & have a functional GPS.

you sir dont deserve to run CM.. GFY idiot

entire hassle of backing up?

you'd rather take strangers words as gospel? go figure, ****in sheep

[EVO 4G General] BrianDigital:
thats for cm7, cm6 has all but epst and hdmi working on it(maybe even the FFC).

CM7 is nightly and never stated as a finished product so your comparing a nightly build of 2.3 to a stable version of 2.2 HTC sense why not compare stable versions of HTC sense 2.2 and cm6 also 2.2
[EVO 4G General] drdrewdown:
i have apps installed on my sd card using cm7.. the **** is built in.

why the **** would you use darktremor when its already present on the rom
[EVO 4G General] tdusen:
What exactly does this accomplish? And why is it necessary for CM when it's not on any sense rom I've used?
[EVO 4G General] drdrewdown:
it resets the GPS, i'm not sure why its required i just know it works. i'm not going to claim its 100% fixed by doing this, however i AM able to do full navigation about 99% of the time. every once in a while i'll have to reboot if its not working but i'm cool with that.

its better than complaining about it, CM7 ****in rocks

none of your sense roms are running gingerbread, so maybe u can chalk it up to that. its not a CM thing its a CM7 thing. didn't require this on CM6, so again i'm going back to 2.3 being the culprit
[EVO 4G General] tdusen:
Thanks. Now figure out how I can sync with Outlook calendar and I'm sold.
[EVO 4G General] drdrewdown:
you mean without an exchange server or what exactly?
[EVO 4G General] ageesm:
There are plenty of reasons to use DT's over the built in apps2sd, they are completely different processes. This is something I have struggled to get working on CM7 as well. I have gotten used to it and it isn't a deal breaker (especially when a AOSP rom is lighter and has more free space anyway) but it would be nice.

You make it out to sound like even thinking of using DT is the dumbest idea one could think of. I don't understand your need to assault someone because they have a simple difference in opinion, how does it affect your personal usage of your own device?
[EVO 4G General] drdrewdown:
dont mistake curse words for anything more than they are. doesnt necessarily mean i was pissed at the suggestion LOL.. just a way to stress a point. i dont understand why not being able to use darktremors is a deal breaker i guess is what i was getting at.

not to mention i'm pretty sure the cm team would highly recommend against it.
