Alright cool. I'm not noticing any extra drain so I think this was just like some mass hysteria kind of deal.

It's all good. You're welcome.
[EVO 4G Android Development] DrRyder:
Version 5.3

Version 5.3 is now live.

Lots of changes in this build. Mostly with theming. Check out the screenshots for an idea of what's been changed along with the change log.
[EVO 4G Android Development] DrRyder:
Check the Flashable Zips section at the bottom of the Change log for a PC36IMG of the splash screen I made.

Edit: I also modified the Flashable Zips section a little bit, making it more organized.
[EVO 4G Android Development] wrceuro:
This is what I found this morning.

10h 35m 20s since unplugged

Cell Standby 50%

Time on ----- 10h 35m 20s

Time without a signal 7%

Phone idle 46%

Android System 4%

So it went from 100% - 82% with 5.2

So with 5.1 it went from 100% - 97% in that time. Something changed :)

I will try 5.3 and let you know.
[EVO 4G Android Development] DrRyder:
Yeah. 5.3 should be better. I know it's running better for me. I just went 3 hours and 3 minutes on 100% and reached 99% right when I went to check the unplugged time.
[EVO 4G Android Development] reverepats:
hey DrRyder....whats up man.....here comes a noob question cause ive neva done it before.....u cant just flash todays version over yesterdays version can you?
[EVO 4G Android Development] wrceuro:
Haha let me guess. You flashed it and it wiped away everything right? I know I did the same thing and I did not have my notes saved. I was more frustrated then a one legged waiter working at IHOP. I love the ROM and I have to admit that I am addicted to it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] reverepats:
LOL....actually i didnt do anything yet...HAHA....i never ever ever FLASH an update without wipeing and what not.....i just went thru a few things lastnight with this ROM but it turned out the problem was me and what i had set on my device.....so it took sometime to set this bad boy up.....HAHA, someone in another thread thinks im a trader cause of my signature....ohh well...anyway, more than likely your not supposed to flash without wiping EVRYTHING but in some cases u can......i dont know i just dont wanna start over again......im just gonna wipe everything now
[EVO 4G Android Development] reverepats:
yeah man....you ALWAYS have to do a nand backup.....i do a backup as soon as i flash and setup a ROM....this way when u wanna flash a theme for make a few MODS to and something goes wrong u always got yur backup....if yur using titamiumn u can retore yur apps back after u flash though
[EVO 4G Android Development] DrRyder:
Right. The updater-script is made to delete and format Cache, Data, & System before installation anyway. This makes sure that there are no inconsistencies between versions.

Eventually, I'll get around to figuring out how to just make an actual update, but when it comes to updating the frameworks and stuff, I don't think that'll work too well without having to wipe the caches which will cause you to lose all of your synced accounts and have to re-add them.

Doing it this way is just much easier, especially if you have an App Backup solution. I recommend AppMonster Pro.
[EVO 4G Android Development] reverepats:
Yeah I kinda figured that ...I figured I'd ask cause some ROMS u can just wipe and flash the update.....No biggy....I use titanium so it only takes a Few mins .....thanks for h update man
[EVO 4G Android Development] DrRyder:
Yeah. No problem. Hope you like this one. I know I do.
[EVO 4G Android Development] wrceuro:
Ryder Please read this!!

***********************************************************

If you ever!! EEEEEEEver!!!!! Do another update to this ROM I will kick you in

the nuts. I mean it. This last update is the best and greatest update that you have ever ever ever done. Please leave it the hell alone. I charged my phone to 100% and I even talked on the phone for about 20 minutes and it's still at 100%. Please leave it alone and concentrate on Gingerbread. You are the King of ROMS and you will have a following. Now get busy on Gingerbread :) Please leave this ROM alone. It's perfect, for those of you that don't like it, there are many others out there. I can guarantee that none of those are even close to this one.

I love you man, in a manly non homosexual kind of way.
[EVO 4G Android Development] DrRyder:
Lmao. Alright. I'll try. But, I promise you it's only going to get better from here. I can't work on Gingerbread just yet. Very soon. I'm not skilled enough in porting/creating mods so I can't get the mods for 2.2 working for 2.3 yet.

I'll be sure to grab my e-cup. ;)
[EVO 4G Android Development] reverepats:
man i gotta say....AMON is really having some problems lately.....doesnt wipe correctly....anyone else been having that problem?

EDIT: yup.....i cant evem flash yur ROM....i was having trouble with the WIPING earlier in the week.....i usually wipe user data-factory resey/....and dalvik............then i had to switch over to system/data/cache and wipe those 3 times.......now nothing works.......i made a post on AMON's thread.......horible....
[EVO 4G Android Development] mlewis2388:
This Rom looks good. Wish the download link worked.
[EVO 4G Android Development] reverepats:
hmmm....it worked for me......u sure u click the 5.3 version?.....if so, DrRyder will fi it....he good liek that....LOL
[EVO 4G Android Development] roberts0o0:
works for me just fine
[EVO 4G Android Development] wrceuro:
I think that you are clicking on the wrong link. Don't click on the signature :) Go down to the second post and then you will wee the link and click on it there.
[EVO 4G Android Development] THunDA:
I use nothing but Amon and NEVER had a problem, thats strange.

DrRyder, thanks for another update.. installing now. I actually skipped your last update because 5.1 was running so well for me.
[EVO 4G Android Development] roberts0o0:
hey ryder, I noticed a lil glitch nothing major but thought you would want to know about it..

when you click on a date on the calender, if you look up top on the notification bar it shows the usb debugging icon and text.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mlewis2388:
Yeah I'm pretty good at clicking on links thanks for all the help guys. :roll eyes: Anyways......the link works I should say every time I go to the download site it just keeps saying "processing download" then goes back to the same page. I'll get it mediafire always dies this crap.You guys are good though.......
[EVO 4G Android Development] reverepats:
That stinks.....and I just downloaded about 10 mins before u.....unfortuneatlly my recovery wont flash it correctly.......but 5.2 was solid......awesome ROM.......
[EVO 4G Android Development] reverepats:
Also I didn't mean that in a sarcastic way....sorry if it came off like that
[EVO 4G Android Development] DrRyder:
I do know about that. That has to do with the USB Debugging notification icon being hidden. Nothing I can do about that and I know I can't be the only who has that glitch. Probably anyone who uses the USB Debugging icon hack probably has that. I'm not worried about it. Thanks though.
[EVO 4G Android Development] DrRyder:
Hmm. Download link should be working fine. I know some people have issues with Mediafire, but I only use them because they keep track of downloads.

As for Amon RA wiping things, it should work fine. I've never had problems with wipes. Try using the Delete & Format zip attached in the second post before flashing the ROM.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mlewis2388:
I'll keep trying. I want to run this Rom.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ycats:
I downloaded/installed just fine......what I didn't like was when I flashed it over the previous version......I wiped cache and devlik, then flashed the latest, and it wiped out everything before I got a chance to backup.........had to start over.
[EVO 4G Android Development] DrRyder:
Ah yeah. Gotta remember to back up what you want to save. The updater-script in the ROM deletes & formats Cache, Data, & System. So, having Titanium Backup or something similar can be very handy.
[EVO 4G Android Development] imex99:
Just flashed your rom, running really good... I'll put it through it's paces tomorrow during a full day of work.

Have you contacted Rom Manager and tried getting your rom included in the app? Would be cool to do updates, etc through rom manager.

Great rom so far and thanks for your work and will update to GB with your rom when that's complete.
[EVO 4G Android Development] DrRyder:
I thought about ROM Manager, but really, I can't be assed to make all those files and update them every update, etc. I also don't like Clockwork Mod and in order for me to make sure they work right, I would have to use CWM and Rom Manager. Not something I'm fond of.

Thank you though. Hope you like it and hope it meets your expectations.
[EVO 4G Android Development] imex99:
Really like it so far.... Really smooth. Only question, could you or someone else walk me through the process of making 1 change? The text messaging icon on the button right button, can I assign that to another app like handcent instead of the default messaging app or dolphin hd browser?

Donation coming VERY soon.

Thanks again and no problems/hiccups yet.
[EVO 4G Android Development] DrRyder:
Absolutely. Just look at this thread, find a Rosie that you like, and flash it. MAKE SURE though that you use one of the WIDE ones or things might look a little screwy.

Donations are always appreciated. Thanks a lot. :D

[EVO 4G Android Development] Nyckrs:
So we can flash any of these rosies? Can i flash 4x5 column app drawer too?

Also, if i flash another kernal your settings will be deleted?
[EVO 4G Android Development] DrRyder:
Not any. As I said. The wide ones. There are dependent images in com.htc.resources.apk that only really look good with the wide Rosies similar to the one that is being used now.

You can flash any kernel you'd like. There aren't any settings like that saved in the kernel that would be lost, per se. Just make sure it can overclock to 1152 and has the smartass governor.
[EVO 4G Android Development] imex99:
I downloaded a wide rosie but the buttons aren't mapped, how is that done...
[EVO 4G Android Development] DrRyder:
Did you download a wide rosie similar to the one that's in the ROM now? Same layout just different right button? You may have to wipe the dalvik-cache.
[EVO 4G Android Development] imex99:
I wiped and tried these:

I get the rosie but the icons aren't responsive....
[EVO 4G Android Development] DrRyder:
Yeah. I had that same problem when I was trying different Rosies and I finally got it working. Unfortunately, if that's not working, then they probably have to be cooked in to work properly. It's also unfortunate that I can't choose a Rosie that everyone will be satisfied with.
[EVO 4G Android Development] imex99:
I forget what Rom I was running, there was an app and you could assign what was on what side.... I'll try to remember and get back with you.

Thanks for all the help, I'll keep messing around.
[EVO 4G Android Development] DrRyder:
It's Rosie Settings. I had used it briefly in a test. But, it doesn't change the icon on the launcher. Just changes what it does. I'm too OCD about something like that. I don't want it to say Text Messages and it opens my browser. Maybe if I can find a more generic looking Rosie that has a generic right button instead of something specific but leaves the other 2 un-touched. Then maybe I could include Rosie Settings. That would be fine.

Edit: Damn you. Now I want to cook more! :D
[EVO 4G Android Development] DrRyder:
SUCCESS! My test was successful. I'll compile a build in the morning that will allow you to use Rosie Settings to set both the left and/or right softkeys.

However, I swear to whatever supreme being you praise, if one more person complains to me that they don't like something about Rosie, I'm kicking some ass. There should be nothing more to change with it and if you even have the thought of asking about it, do two things. 1. Read the Disclaimer on the first post. 2. Drop the thought.

I'll have the build up in the morning. Kitchen was updated so I'm going to compile against the latest kitchen. Just don't feel like doing it now because I gotta be up early.
[EVO 4G Android Development] *.jpg:
Any other tweaks to look out for in this latest version?

For those with rosie questions, I was able to flash a rosie mod I was referred to at the top of the warm twopointtwo thread.

It's been a while since I downloaded it so I don't remember exactly where it came from but it works perfectly to set my right button to browser with a globe icon and left button to dialer with a phone icon.

Does anyone have or know where a link is to get the search button to work ? I know alot of people don't use it ,but I do. Thanks ahead of time.
[EVO 4G Android Development] imex99:
I also noticed the search button glitch... Not a problem for me, rarely use it.

On my first day of testing, when I'm in a building where I work. My phone usually shows roaming with the 3g symbol. Now, it shows roaming with 1X.

Would this mod interfere? :

Mods added: 1X/3G to show when you're using 1x.
[EVO 4G Android Development] DrRyder:
The search button doesn't work because Google Search was taken out. Check the list of apps that were removed and find the ones that are for Google Search from a stock de-odexed rom and push them over.
[EVO 4G Android Development] thx0849:
So many updates, so much win! Living this rom as always, works great with launcher pro.
[EVO 4G Android Development] DrRyder:
Hell yeah. I'm just about to update the second post with Version 5.4. The change log is up already.
[EVO 4G Android Development] DrRyder:
Version 5.4 is now live!

You can now re-map both the left & right Rosie softkeys for whatever you'd like in the Rosie Settings app. This mod also introduces the 5-column app drawer as well as a semi-transparent app drawer & add-to-home menu.
[EVO 4G Android Development] brad560:
downloading now! thanks for all your hard work!
[EVO 4G Android Development] DrRyder:
To answer that question, no. You don't really roam on 3G as far as I know. You're really roaming on 1X or EvDo. So, it's actually just showing the correct band that you're on instead of just showing 3G constantly. It has nothing to do with how your service works. Just how you see what band you're on.
[EVO 4G Android Development] imex99:
Ok, thanks.

Will be downloading the updating the new version and donating after that....great rom support = donations coming your way.
[EVO 4G Android Development] DrRyder:
Awesome. Hope you like it. I think this is probably the best version so far. Especially after this Rosie update.

Thanks a lot.

[EVO 4G Android Development] DrRyder:
LOL. Well, there are some builds that I go a couple days without updating. But, people were getting on my nerves asking about changing the Rosie buttons and stuff so I was trying to just get that taken care of so they'll stop asking.
[EVO 4G Android Development] southphillysean:
I wish i could complain about this rom but i have nothing to complain about.....fantastic work Doc!!!
[EVO 4G Android Development] gajendarksky:
Loving the ROM so far, just a couple of quick questions...

My phone will reboot every time that I try to download from the market. Clearing the cache seemed to help but then it will start up again. Any Ideas?

And second, my phone will only fully charge either if its plugged into the USB or turned off, its been doing this for awhile over several different ROM and kernel combo's. I'm beginning to think that it might be the phone, but not sure. Anybody else come across this weirdness?

Thanks again...
[EVO 4G Android Development] DrRyder:
Did you make sure to wipe everything before installing the ROM just in case? I downloaded apps earlier and didn't have any problems and you're the only one to mention this problem. As for your charging problem, must be your phone. No one else is having problems and since it's happening with multiple kernel/ROM combos, it'd be a phone/charger issue. Not much I can do about that on this end.
[EVO 4G Android Development] gajendarksky:
Yeah, I have done the multiple wipes. Just not sure if I effed up somewhere, but I would like to think that I have flashed enough times that I know what I am doing:p but who knows? If it persists, might just have to re-flash again, although you got a new version up, so might just have to use that one and hope I get it right, lol.

Just to be clear, should I wipe cache and dalvik and then the wipe zip, or do I need to do a factory reset in there as well?
[EVO 4G Android Development] DrRyder:
Heh. You'd be surprised. The ones that say they know what they're doing sometimes haven't the slightest clue what they're doing. I assume everyone is ignorant until I know for sure otherwise.

However, you should flash the newest ROM and try downloading my Delete & Format zip in the second post. Flash that before flashing the ROM. That will wipe Cache, Dalvik Cache, Data, & System making sure you're completely clean for the new update.
[EVO 4G Android Development] gajendarksky:
So then no need for me to do any wiping at all? Just flash that and then the ROM?
[EVO 4G Android Development] DrRyder:
Exactly. It does it for you so no need to do all that button pushing in Recovery.
[EVO 4G Android Development] karatche:
Ok- So I'm a fan you know- I just got 5.3 set up and now... Oh well. Just a FYI,

Last night my battery took a dump. I got up and no power at all- no LED when plugged in , phone wouldn't turn on at all- nothing. Took it to Sprint store and they concluded that the battery had fried. It was swolen. I noticed it getting hot the other day but I can't say for sure what rom it had on it. (besides, I'm sure thats a kernel issue- I'm running Netarchy 4.3.4 CFS HAVS SBC More Aggressive) I had to go back to a official released rom to have my speaker serviced yesterday. So after I left the store I flashed amon_ra back on and re-installed your rom. So imagine my horror this morning as I took my unstartable device to the sprint store with a burnt rom (unable to go back to factory) to get it to boot. I knew what would happen if they got it to boot! It was too funny to watch the tech looking at your splash screen as the phone booted- LMAO hahaha. I expected him to say something but he just kept typing his notes- Probably got me flagged as one of those "Eternal Prophecy Kooks" SO anyways- I'll keep an eye on the temperature. Thanks Doc.
[EVO 4G Android Development] DrRyder:
Lmao. NICE. Not nice with the whole battery issue. I always keep an eye on my temperature. If it gets too hot, shove it in your freezer for a few minutes. That'll safely cool the phone down. Do it for like 2-3 mins.

Luckily you got it to boot. I've been using SBC since it came out and I've had 0 issues with it at all. I still get the same charge that I've got on it since day 1.

I've also got Sprint Employees using my ROM. I showed it to him one day when I went in to the Sprint Service & Repair Center to have my kickstand repaired. It decided to stay up and wouldn't close. Anyway, I noticed one of the techs there had unrevoked written down on a notepad so I was like, "Unrevoked huh? Someone going to be rooting their phone?" Then it just started from there. I didn't have my ROM on XDA yet but I had it up on a webpage I was running on my computer. I linked him to that and told him I'd help him with rooting and flashing. Ever since, he's been using my ROM.
[EVO 4G Android Development] karatche:
Well it was scary this morning because it wouldn't boot- I knew I had to take it in with a bootleg rom- too funny. Figured worst case- if they deny me i'll go to the parking lot and run over the sob for the insurance. roflmao. Yea- I can't say for sure which rom or kernel it was when it go t hot. I had 3 Htc Fuse's burn the screens up from battery heat. This device's never got that hot til this last week I guess. I notice the most heat out of the device when I first install a rom and am installing programs from market- thats usually the hotest the phone gets.
[EVO 4G Android Development] DrRyder:
Exactly. Same for me. It's hottest when I'm just setting it up and installing my apps back. It's also hot during a long phone call, but never too hot. I got it up to 125 F one time when I was at the beach. Had it out on my leg listening to music. Looked at the temp, saw it was 125, turned it off immediately, put it in my case, and hid it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] coiledwire:
Good work Dr Ryder! I've been enjoying your last several releases and watching the evolution of your theme. Personally, I'm glad to see you went to a dark color for most of the rom.

After the 5-wide app drawer, the only mod left is the 4x5 work space. It's like the vanilla lock screen; once you try it, it's hard to go back. :)

Sent on the go, from my evo.
[EVO 4G Android Development] DrRyder:
No can do, man. I just tried it. Messed up the Clock Widget. Cuts it off at the bottom. There's a metamorph out there that can be flashed for those that don't want to use the Sense Clock Widget. But, I'm not including this with the ROM. The 5 column app drawer is good enough for me.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=902544 <--- 4x5 Metamorphs.

Edit: Nevermind. I might just have to also apply the custom widgets. Gonna test some more.
[EVO 4G Android Development] coiledwire:
Yes, it affects widgets that are more than 1 cell tall. But, I'm pretty sure you can take the classes.dex file from an already modified widget, swap it out with your widget's dex file, and it should work.

I know its more work, but at least you wouldn't have to start from scratch. Just throwing it out there. Thanks for listening.

Sent on the go, from my evo.
[EVO 4G Android Development] DrRyder:
That's what I'm thinking. See, the HtcClockWidget I'm using now is modified to open the AOSP DeskClock. I need that to remain unchanged while also resizing it for the 4x5 workspace. I downloaded all the widgets. I just have to add the theming to them and test them out.
[EVO 4G Android Development] coiledwire:
I think I have a classes.dex file for the clock widget that's for 4x5 and mapped to the aosp clock. Let me know if you need it; I can dig around for it.

Edit: Actually, your way sounds easier. :)

Sent on the go, from my evo.
[EVO 4G Android Development] DrRyder:
Yeah. Send it and I'll try it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] coiledwire:
I can't get to my PC right now. But I think dark cocoa rom has a vanilla lock screen and a 4x5 work space right out of the box. You could try extracting that clock dex file instead of waiting for me.

Edit: Its King Cocoa 1 rom, not dark. My bad.

Sent on the go, from my evo.
[EVO 4G Android Development] DrRyder:
I think I found what I'm looking for. I'm trying it out right now.
[EVO 4G Android Development] DrRyder:
Alright. Sweet. I got the Clock done, re-themed the 4x5 widgets and tested them all. So...guess what's next? Version 5.5 with the 4x5 workspace & widgets.

Building, testing, & uploading now.
[EVO 4G Android Development] DrRyder:
Alright!

Version 5.5 is now LIVE!

The 4x5 Rosie Workspace & Widgets work perfect. I also PNG optimized every system apk for even better performance and smaller apk sizes.

Enjoy. :D
