Absolutely not. I am done suggesting Rosies, etc. I spent hours trying to get this Rosie to work with Rosie Settings and being the most customizable. You'll have to look up a Rosie that's for the 4x5 workspace that looks like the one I'm using now or the images are gonna be messed up.
[EVO 4G Android Development] DrRyder:
Ok. For those having issues with Swype, download the attached Swype.apk.zip and use ADB to PUSH it to /system/app. DO NOT try to flash it in Recovery.

I'm re-uploading 5.5 with the fixed Swype. Guess it doesn't handle image optimization very well.

Edit: Actually, not allowed to post this APK. Figures. If you have a previous build, pull the Swype.apk out of there and push it to 5.5.

I'm most likely removing Swype anyway since I don't even use it. If you'd like to save it in order to use it in future builds, make sure you pull /system/app/Swype.apk and /system/lib/libSwypeCore.so.
[EVO 4G Android Development] coiledwire:
Great job Dr Ryder! There's really not much left to add, mod wise. Perhaps the am/pm clock mod, but its a small mod. You should be able to rest a few days now until the next version. :D

Sent on the go, from my evo.
[EVO 4G Android Development] DrRyder:
Lol yeah. Check the last post on page 49. Swype isn't working in this version because of the image optimization. Swype's another thing I don't know why I have because I don't use...actually. I can't even attach it because of the rules on here. ****.

But yeah. I don't know about the AM/PM mod. I don't care for it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] DrRyder:
Fixed link is now up. Swype is removed. If you have the apk and lib for it, you can push it to the appropriate /system folder and it'll work just fine. I don't need, don't like it, and don't ever use it. Only had added it a long time ago because my brother liked it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] slickrick54:
Yet another update. Great job DrRyder it just keeps getting better and better. Keep up the good work. Man i can tell you take great pride in your work and i respect that.
[EVO 4G Android Development] *.jpg:
I love that each subsequent update gets smaller and smaller.

I'm looking forward to the 10MB version--it should be so fast it can see the future! ;)
[EVO 4G Android Development] DrRyder:
Thanks. I certainly do. I just like it to be as close to perfect as I can get it.

LOL. Yeah. I cut the apps and framework down a lot. Saved about 10-15 MB. But that didn't shrink the size of the update zip that much. However, there should be more free space on the internal memory after a flash.

&LOL @ your signature. Eternal Prophecy 5.(latest :p) Perfect.
[EVO 4G Android Development] imex99:
I use swype and have the beta and official sprint saved in my titanium backup. I can flash your new update, then load swype?

Swyped from my Sprint HTC EVO 4G using Tapatalk
[EVO 4G Android Development] DrRyder:
Yes. You should be able to do that. If it won't run after that, make sure you pull /system/lib/libSwypeCore.so from a previous build if you still have it and push that to /system/lib after you update.
[EVO 4G Android Development] imex99:
Ok, I might need so help with adb (if my first attempt doesn't work). I've avoided it so far but I need to learn it eventually...

[EVO 4G Android Development] DrRyder:
Yeah. If you have the Swype Beta, you should be fine. I would try that one.

Do you know if there is a fix for weatherbug? I am running it but everytime I try to open it it crashes right away for me. Do you know what might be the issue?
[EVO 4G Android Development] *.jpg:
Fair Warning

I have flashed 5.5, so let the 12 hour countdown to 5.6 commence . . .:)

As always, fast smooth and plays well with my pet mods ;)
[EVO 4G Android Development] DrRyder:
Weatherbug crashes constantly on my mom's Samsung Intercept. I doubt it's an issue with the phone. There are no dependent libs that I took out that WeatherBug would need. I'd blame it on them. Try downloading the WeatherChannel app. I used to use that and it was awesome.

Just for that, I'm not releasing 5.6 for 13 hours.

So 12:59:59 and counting :)

[EVO 4G Android Development] stanglifemike:
Weather Bug has been having some issues for me on other roms as well. I TI restore the previous version whenever it FC's on me and the problem never comes back.

For those who arent getting good battery life, here is the Kernal that I use on every rom I run. It is an oler SBC Kernal but always gets the best battery life and speeds are good as well. As with all Kernals, this one may not perform as well on your Evo as it does on mine or others....just basic Kernal knowledge. BUT, it is AWESOME on my Evo and I believe it will be great for most of you as well!!

DrRyder, you should also give it a try, if you havent already that is. It really is a great Kernal. Never any battery issues whatsoever. I have the stock battery, my stock TP2 battery, a couple cheapo 1500's, a 2000, and a ebay 3000/3500. I dont understand why some people are scared of SBC Kernals.....
[EVO 4G Android Development] DrRyder:
I did use that kernel as soon as it came out. Thing is, that kernel doesn't have HDMI support. It's very old and I don't like using old kernels. Performance would also be degraded by using that kernel. The one cooked in now has performance tweaks that Netarchy has made since 4.1.9.1. This kernel is also HAVS and has more aggressive undervolting. There's really no reason to downgrade at all.
[EVO 4G Android Development] DrRyder:
Lol. I use Facebook for when I update my ROM. I post it as a status message, plus I'm pretty sure most of the "regulars" I have using my ROM are subscribed to the thread, so there's really no need to use Twitter. I just never really cared for it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] coiledwire:
Personally, I like net 4.1.9.1 and it performs well on my rev 0003 hardware. But that's where you have to be careful.

Rev0004 phones have different camera drivers; old kernels like this one will not work with new hardware. Just a word of caution if you have rev0004 evo, decide to try this kernel, and notice your camera doesn't work.

[EVO 4G Android Development] imex99:
Weatherbug was just updated, see if that fixes your problems...
[EVO 4G Android Development] stanglifemike:
No doubt man, I agree. I also like to use the latest kernals out, and I fully understand that while 2 Evos may look identical, they are not. For me though, it gives me the best battery life out of any kernal I have found without a noticable loss in performance.

With that said, I have yet to flash 5.5, thought I am about to in just a minute. I always run the baked in kernal for atleast 4 days to give the kernal a shot, then start trying others if I'm not satisfied with battery life. From what others are saying, battery life is good on 5.5, so I may be just fine with the kernal. Its one thats on my sd card already, and in my top 5 kernals. I used to be a big fan of Ziggy's kernals, but battery life on his had drastically declined for me. Anyway, just sharing my thoughts
[EVO 4G Android Development] LouRock:
Hey, love the ROM and all the work that has gone into it.

Question: I flashed the the ROM but kept getting random reboots so I flashed your normalclockingzip but still getting random reboots??? Should I flash a different kernel?

I have not read into the other post so sorry if this has been talked about already.

Thanks again...
[EVO 4G Android Development] DrRyder:
Try flashing another kernel to see if that helps. If not, I'll modify the normalclocking.zip to change the minimum frequency from 128 to 245. I wouldn't think that would cause it, but it might.
[EVO 4G Android Development] coiledwire:
Perhaps there should be a "super plain" script so people could just flash that to see if it has anything to do with the frequencies, high or low. Like 245 - 998, conservative.

[EVO 4G Android Development] DrRyder:
Yeah yeah. Thanks for the consult. ;)
[EVO 4G Android Development] *.jpg:
Confirmed that using a root explorer to copy/paste those two swype files from ver. 5.4 to ver. 5.5 works like a charm--no adb skilz required.

SWYPED from my Evo with Eternal Prophecy 5.5 ROM. Yeah I said Swyped.
[EVO 4G Android Development] DrRyder:
Eggsellent. :D
[EVO 4G Android Development] stanglifemike:
I need to do this in the morning, I cant live without my Swype. Which files did you copy?
[EVO 4G Android Development] *.jpg:
Adding Swype back in to 5.5

I copied /system/app/Swype.apk and /system/lib/libSwypeCore.so from version 5.4 and pasted them into the same locations in 5.5 to get it working.

My one-thumb typing with Swype is so much faster than my two-thumb typing with the normal input method that I truly felt (and appeared) mentally challenged until I got my Swype back :)

[edit] BTW, I wasn't able to get the same files from a version of Warm twopointtwo to work, so IDK if it's a result of Dr Ryder's optimizations or what, but anyhow, I'm really happy to get Swype back, just in case it wasn't already clear :D[/edit]
[EVO 4G Android Development] stanglifemike:
Did you do this after flashing the rom? I looked last night and found the files,but don’t know what app to use to copy them
[EVO 4G Android Development] *.jpg:
I restored my nandroid backup of 5.4, copied the files to the root of my SD card, then restored my nandroid backup of 5.5 and copied the files to the same place.

I used File Expert to copy the files. It's my new favorite root file explorer.

SWYPED from my Evo with Eternal Prophecy 5.5 ROM. Yeah I said Swyped.
[EVO 4G Android Development] stanglifemike:
ok, ill try that. I always use Root Explorer and Astro, but im gonna try the one you mentioned.

EDIT: How do you get to system files in File Expert? Same problem that I had with Astro, I cant see where to get to the current rom files, just whats on the sd card...
[EVO 4G Android Development] *.jpg:
I just use the back button--either the phone button or the one at the bottom-right of the File Explorer screen works for me.

To copy a file, you can long press the file name to get the context menu or check the box next to the file and use the "oper" button (wrench icon) and press the icon that looks like two stacked pieces of paper. The scissors icon works the same as "cut".

To paste a copied (or cut) file, navigate to the destination folder and use the "oper" button to bring up a new row of icons and press the second icon from the left (looks like a piece of paper resting on a clipboard)

I hope that helps! I was using both of those apps, but File Expert combines all the functions that I used from them into one app.

[edit] if for some reason, this won't work for you, there may be some issue with your superuser permissions. I'm not sure what to do about that if that's the case . .. [/edit]
[EVO 4G Android Development] *.jpg:
I'm just not ready for that level of commitment :) For me Twitter sort of = Facebook Lite. Plus, I've SEEN how much time my friends spend on Facebook and I'd rather spend that time on WoW (or lately, this forum :D)
[EVO 4G Android Development] stanglifemike:
Thanks. Yea I figured it out right after posting that. Just was used to Astro when you hit back from that page it exits. File Expert is looking better and better every time I use it
[EVO 4G Android Development] *.jpg:
Awesome! That's what I love about the android community--finding out about all the different ways there are to get stuff done :)

So I wiped my phone tried out the rom, restore all my apps using titanium backup, but when I reboot to get my restored apps zip aligned it gets stuck at the splash screen. Not quite sure whats wrong.
[EVO 4G Android Development] coiledwire:
You didn't also restore system apps with Ti bakcup, did you? That's a sure way to get boot problems.

Sent on the go, from my evo.
[EVO 4G Android Development] DrRyder:
If you have ADB installed, try doing an adb logcat and see where it's looping at. There shouldn't be anything in there causing loops. If you did restore system apps like coiledwire suggested, that would certainly cause problems.
[EVO 4G Android Development] wrceuro:
Correct me if I'm wrong but I don't know of any other app out there that is better then "My Backup Root". That program works great with this ROM. I am a professional at it since I had to reinstall everything 20 times ;) Perhaps you should use that one instead of Titanium backup. Just my .3c
[EVO 4G Android Development] thermus:
Anytime I reboot I get a swype force close BUT it says in the changelog it was removed??? I go into Settings> Applications and it shows install but wont let me delete it?! Any thoughts?

Then I reinstalled swype with the method I described above.

Yeah, I used root uninstaller. I forgot I had that program. lol Thanks
[EVO 4G Android Development] broncobuddha:
Dumb question. I was running 5.4, so, I nandroided, wiped only cache and dalvik and flashed. All my apps and data are gone?
[EVO 4G Android Development] *.jpg:
This ROM wipes everything on install in order to prevent there from being any problems from cruft left over from previous versions or other ROMs.
[EVO 4G Android Development] DrRyder:
Anyone noticing excessively high battery usage on this build? I'm not, but have had a report of him losing over half his battery in less than 3 hours. He installed the HTC Notes Widget and I'm thinking that it's gonna cause problems because it's not modified for the 4x5 workspace. I also am removing the HTC Checkin Service so it will stop checking for OTA updates. You won't be able to check for OTA updates now and it'll just keep saying "Checking..." This shouldn't be a problem because we all know it'd be stupid to OTA update to a stock ROM from a rooted ROM.

But, because some people think I update every 12 hours........I'm gonna wait until tomorrow to release 5.6. Muahahahahahahaha! ;)

Edit: WTF? I just checked my app folder in the kitchen and Swype is in there. I thought I deleted that. That's probably why people are saying there's a "broken" version in there. I removed the lib but not the app. Guess it'll be gone in 5.6.
[EVO 4G Android Development] imex99:
Everyone makes mistakes....Just don't make a habit of it ;)

j/k
[EVO 4G Android Development] wrceuro:
F*** Me... Not another update. Please wait until you have 5 critical updates to do. No battery issues. Please don't update it yet.
[EVO 4G Android Development] DrRyder:
Me? Mistakes?! NEVER! Okay okay...every once in a while. That along with the HTC Check-In Service are gone as that's not needed since we won't be OTA updating our phone. Also updated FB. So, it's uploading right now. Should see a little better battery since the Check-in service isn't running in the background constantly.

Edit: Well, there's no NEED to update to it. I mean, for people who come to the ROM for the first time, it'll be nice to have the latest version, right? I just didn't want a broken Swype in there wasting space and FC'ing on people which would have happened and people would have complained. You don't have to deal with the complaining, you know?

If you want, just keep this version and wait until a major release comes. Though, I don't think there'll be another major release until I start working on Gingerbread.
[EVO 4G Android Development] *.jpg:
Point of clarification: *.jpg's law states that you release the update 12 hours after HE installs the latest. Also, I believe that a new corollary will be that any attempts by the dev to subvert this law will only serve to reinforce its legitimacy! :D

[edit] and since I just finished fiddling around with a couple of potential mods, the timer starts . . . NOW [/edit]
[EVO 4G Android Development] DrRyder:
Hmm. Well played, sir.

The only reason to update to this would be if you were having battery issues and abnormally high CPU/Mem usage from the HTC Check-In Service. You could always just use ADB or your favorite root file manager to get rid of it. If you have Swype working, then there's no need for this and you can update Facebook through the Market, of course.

Most of the updates I release like this are for the new people who are just using the ROM for the first time as I'm still advertising it on different places, Facebook, etc.

Unless there's something new like a mod, theme updates, or something like that, there really is no reason to update to the latest version. I always update to my latest version because I'm OCD like that and have to be using the latest.
[EVO 4G Android Development] *.jpg:
So can we fix Swype, remove check-in and claim to have 5.6?
[EVO 4G Android Development] DrRyder:
Lol I suppose. Your System Information won't reflect Version 5.6 but yeah. That's the only things I changed. Got to cut the file size down to 160 too instead of 162. Keeps going down. I like that.
[EVO 4G Android Development] *.jpg:
Sweet!

Not sure if it's my imagination, but 5.5 seems to charge more slowly than usual over USB, at least at work.

My Gigabyte mobo at home pushes out more power than the USB standard, so I'll check it out this evening and see if it seems slower, too.

SWYPED from my Evo with Eternal Prophecy 5.6 (homebrew edition) ROM. Yeah I said Swyped.
[EVO 4G Android Development] DrRyder:
Weird. I haven't modified anything that changes charging. In fact, I wouldn't even know how, to be honest. It's probably what you said. Pushing out more or less power. Mine charges on USB quick. I plugged in for like 20 mins and went from 36 to 68.
[EVO 4G Android Development] *.jpg:
Heisenberg's homebrew uncertainty principle

. . . applied to *.jpg's law. If I mod EP ROM to match the changes in the latest version without actually FLASHING the latest version, does time make a vortex and thereby create a wormhole into or out of which updates appear and/or disappear at random?

Could this be quantum version tunneling?

Is it just getting late in the day?
[EVO 4G Android Development] DrRyder:
LOL. Yes. Sounds about right. Since you're pseudo updating to the latest version without actually updating to the latest version, I would say that the clock countdown for your latest flashed update would remain unchanged since technically there is a modification to the build.prop to reflect the latest version and since you don't update that, it's not a complete update.
[EVO 4G Android Development] *.jpg:
Oh well . . . laws were meant to be broken :p

[edit] Oh wait!!! The latest version WAS released within 12 hours of my last flash and since I haven't flashed 5.6, the timer is on <<pause>>. WHEW! Order has been re-established [/edit]

Rules are just guidelines for stupid people who can't make up their own mind.

[EVO 4G Android Development] ebuechler3:
i fogot to charge my battery last night, and looked at my battery monitor after lunch today and it said i had been unplugged for 1 day 4hrs, and still at 38%!!! and i live on my phone!! one question, if i flashed the normal clocking zip, would i get even better battery life? i thought your rom was overclocked to 1152, which might eat at my battery a little.... oh, i also have a 3500 muh extended battery. i had it for a few months, 1000 roms, 1000 kernels, but this rom, kernel combo on my 0003 evo is the best, by far in my opinion!!
[EVO 4G Android Development] broncobuddha:
Ah. Crap. I'll have to wait for a future update I really want before having to add back all my apps. Even with titanium its still a pain.

I would figure you'd have to wipe all coming from a different ROM but would think you could keep the apps if just going from 5.4 to 5.5.

Oh well, still love the rom. I'll keep a eye on battery life and report back.
[EVO 4G Android Development] imex99:
How is titanium a pain? You load Titanium and restore apps.... Can't be much easier!!!
[EVO 4G Android Development] DrRyder:
Yes. Using the normal clocking zip will increase battery life even more.

Well, I know that some system apps might not change, but usually with every update, there is an app or two that get modified or maybe a lot of apps if it's a big update. I always have it wipe everything to ensure there are 0 inconsistencies.

Think of it like doing an Upgrade Install from Windows XP to Windows 7. It wouldn't be clean and there would be inconsistencies and other problems may arise.
[EVO 4G Android Development] reverepats:
I FRIGGGEN LOVE THIS ROM......but hey...everytime my phone boots i get the force closure of SWYPE.....any idea why that is?.....can i just remove it?.....i dont use it so it doesnt matter to me.....did 2 flashes and happened both times......thanks guy
[EVO 4G Android Development] DrRyder:
You have two choices...okay 3. You could use ADB to delete the Swype.apk from /system/app, you could use a root file manager to delete it, or you could flash Version 5.6 which comes without it like 5.5 should have.
[EVO 4G Android Development] reverepats:
ohh damn i forgot theres an update.....man and i just set my whole phone up too.....LOL.....ahh, maybe ill just delete with RE.....no big deal......hey can i ask u something.....what is that ADS HOST that u update all the time?.....been kinda curious bout that......thanks alot man
[EVO 4G Android Development] DrRyder:
Yeah. Use RE. Easiest way since you've done set everything up.

The ads-free hosts file prevents most ads from showing up in apps. No need to buy an app version that has no ads as long as you have this mod.
