Hey, I just flashed this ROM last night. Holy crap, it's awesome, I can't believe I've never tried this before! I'll be hanging around for a while, I love all the customization in the settings and the vaelpak settings app. Good stuff.

To answer your question, everything you just asked is possible. I spent all night last night messing around, just out of curiousity. I flashed the inverted MMS and Contacts apk. Both work fine and caused no other issues at all. I also took the black themed Vending.apk (market) out of the Unleashed R2 rom (i think it was that rom, or maybe Myn's that I stole it from), but that also works fine. I just adb pushed everything to /system/app, and it all worked fine. I also removed the MIUI music app that came with it, cuz i don't like the purple one, and I put the dark themed one on, i think I took it out of Koni's Elite. I have so many roms on my computer, and I mix and match all sorts of stuff. Sometimes it breaks, and I nandroid, and sometimes it all works fine. Haha, i like to experiment. I also had an old zip laying around, made by calkulin, that was a sense add on zip, made for one of his old Evio roms. I was cuirious if it would flash and take, so I nandroided, wiped caches, and flashed the sense zip. TO my complete surprise, it booted right up, and I was able to run sense. Some of the widgets didn't work, and the rosie went back to stock functions, but it was completely clear. looked kind of cool actually. I didn't use it long before I nandroided back, because there were too many little weird things going on, and force closes. Sorry for my long and pointless story, just wanted to share that I think this rom is bad ass. Thanks Vael.

Actually, I get a FC everytime I receive a phone call.

Not sure what is going on...

I wiped everything but Data before doing the wipe, and came from MikZ
[EVO 4G Android Development] vaelek:
"I wiped everything but Data before doing the wipe"... you wiped before wiping? I'm confused.. did you not wipe Data before flashing this rom? If you did not, you must do so before I can even begin to look into this. Not doing a full wipe when coming from an entirely different rom is one of the few scenarios I will not support.

If you did do a full wipe, then I will need a logcat of the FC to get anywhere, along with a list of any mods you have applied since flashing, as well as if you restored anything afterward.
[EVO 4G Android Development] HipKat:
never mind.. wrong thread
[EVO 4G Android Development] azfxstb:
Ok so I have been flashing roms since my Hero, I go with this one for a while find a few things that dont work quite right go with that one find those things I didnt like but then there is something new about that rom I dont like..etc etc etc. Well Hats off to the Cook/Dev this rom has all the function (Sorry Sense roms do) with just the right combo of AOSP feel. Well played Sir! I believe this will be my Rom for a while to come. Closest I have found to this as far as what "I" want is MIUI but it has missing things as well. This one is a winner a few bucks coming your way thank you.
[EVO 4G Android Development] RocSteadyNy:
3g/4g/wifi same thing happens.. I'm really stumped as to what could be causing... I also tried clearing the data for market as wel..
[EVO 4G Android Development] RocSteadyNy:
It doesn't matter, can't download any app in the market, I tried so many random apps, I can't even update the apps I already have. Radio 2.15.00.11.19... I am using Clock Work 3.0.0.5
[EVO 4G Android Development] cbradberry:
Sorry for any confusion.

I did do a full wipe before flashing. I used Clockwork Recovery for what its worth.

I've fixed the problem though. I used Caulkins Format and everything is now running great.

Thanks!
[EVO 4G Android Development] shin.andy:
Thanks for answering my questions, everyone's been very helpful!

I've been using ADW Launcher and it's very addicting wow...

I can't seem to get pure calender working though..
[EVO 4G Android Development] shin.andy:
What Calendar widgets do you guys use?

I have launcher pro plus, but I want to use ADW launcher and I can't use the calendar widget for launcher pro plus with ADW.

What calendar widgets are good?
[EVO 4G Android Development] lawsonmh15:
Pure calendar grid

My app2sd by dark tremor broke?

It was running fine but out of no where it just went back?

How can I fix this
[EVO 4G Android Development] vaelek:
Stock Theme

Everyone that's been waiting for an un-themed theme. After about 7 hours I have finally got something here. You will find it in VPS > Mods > Flash Mods.
[EVO 4G Android Development] igotroot:
Everything but wipe moat likely is the problem. That will only work if upgrading from same dev Rom.
[EVO 4G Android Development] shin.andy:
I fixed the ap2sd by reentering the commands in android terminal. Are there any screen shots of the unthemed rom?

I want to try it out but im too lazy to go back and forth!

Anyone?
[EVO 4G Android Development] vaelek:
With the exception of the notifications header and bottom bar, every trace of blue should be restored to the original stock colors. All notification icons except for USB (that one is not in the framework) are also back to the stock look. I did not change the headers because A) well, it's my signature.. and B) Options for different colored backgrounds will be coming to a Theme Builder near you.
[EVO 4G Android Development] cbradberry:
Val, thanks so much. This is a truly fantastic Rom. It will definitely be my daily driver going forward.

Sent from my HTC Evo
[EVO 4G Android Development] thunderwagn:
Yes thanks! There have been some fantastic roms coming out lately. All have been great in their own right, but this rom takes the cake right now. Its got just enough of everything. Great rom! Thanks again man. Love the "black market"! Highly recommend...

In a boot loop can someone help?
[EVO 4G Android Development] chuckyholmes69:
In my opinion, the one thing that is missing that will make this ROM perfect is the customizable power control widget like the one from cm7. Other than that it, this is the rom i'm sticking to and i''m a flashaholic. Or does this rom have it and i just cant find it?
[EVO 4G Android Development] vaelek:
Can you explain more about what you're referring to? Other than the notification power toggles and the actual Power Controls widget, I'm not aware of others. Though I have not run CM7.
[EVO 4G Android Development] chuckyholmes69:
Hey Vaelek, I understand the notification power toggles and the power control widget is pretty similar except the power control widget can be put on the homescreen. which by default has toggle wifi, bluetooth, gps, refresh (or reloading new info), and brightness. In CM7 all that can be manipulated on that you can control what goes in there like toggling wifi tether similar to the notifications power toggle except CM7 takes it further. For example when toggling airplane mode you can set it to automatically toggling on wifi. That is just an example of many options it will allow one to control. Just an easier and faster way to access what you need without looking through too many places.

I understand when folks take a quick look at the pics of the ROM they think it may look grungey or even maybe dark and sadistic, but all the customizations this ROM allows one to do is just spectacular. I keep my wall papers of just a certain female so theming means nothing to me.

This is an excellent ROM Vaelek.
[EVO 4G Android Development] shin.andy:
Thank you for the screen shots!

Do you think using netarchy-toastmod-4.3.2-cfs-sbc-havs-more would be a good kernal for this rom? I used that with mik 4.5 and myn's rom.

My battery with the stock kernal you put on this rom makes my battery go down really low... it's weird
[EVO 4G Android Development] vaelek:
If you are used to the battery life of an SBC kernel, then this will definitely seem like it's dying faster. A lot of people are using variations of 4.3.2 and reporting good results. I haven't yet moved beyond the bundled one just for testing purposes.

Because some have asked here and there, the kernels in VPS are not the only ones safe to use. I just haven't had time to get the newer ones up in there yet.
[EVO 4G Android Development] shin.andy:
Thanks for replying quickly. I decided to flash the kernal and it is going great. What are the bottom sides of running this kernal?
[EVO 4G Android Development] chuckyholmes69:
I seem to have lost the location of where to configure home screen transitions. The place where you can set it to scale, flip, cube, etc... when you switch from home screen to home screen. I thought it was in preferences, but ever since I upgraded launcherpro I can't seem to find it. Anyone know? Thanks
[EVO 4G Android Development] maxcala:
you need to reflash it from VPS...
[EVO 4G Android Development] secondskin:
I'm hoping someone can help out with this. I like everything about the Vaelpak theme that is bundled with the rom. However, I se Uot Kitchen to customize my battery icon. I'm aware that there are a few battery icons included in rom but they're not quite what I want. Anyway, Uot Kitchen does work when changing my battery icon but it won't change the phone signal icon. Basically, I just want to change the battery icon using Uot kitchen and signal bar. I know I can use one of the provided signal bars such as the non themed one included but this one is white and I want to change the color to green. Uot won't change the signal icon. I like the green signal bar that Vael provides with his "stock" theme but don't want the whole stock theme.

Lol, hopefully this makes sense.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jrb7561:
This is a bit of a newb question but I wanted to try a couple different kernels to compare battery life and I was wondering whether I needed to wipe anything (cache partition, dalvic, etc) prior to flashing a new kernel or whether I can just flash on top of the existing kernel. Thanks in advance.
[EVO 4G Android Development] leenypost:
Val is working on extending the capabilities of the theme builder in VP settings and I'm sure what you want will become possible sometime in the near future.

I don't join other boards except for this one however joining Valek's place has been a great experience. I highly suggest you join and post there as well as here. Jim has a section just for requests that is much easier for him to sort through than this whole thread.
[EVO 4G Android Development] leenypost:
Wipe cache and dalvik cache before flashing a new kernal. You do not have to do anything with the old kernal. Flashing the new one will just wipe out the old one, but you want to wipe cache and dalvik because it will be regenerated with the newly flashed kernal and that will help ensure your apps will work correctly
[EVO 4G Android Development] secondskin:
Vael,

I don't think this will help you too much since I don't have a logcat but I was experiencing horrible lag issues ever since my first reboot after installing your rom. I figured I would switch over to the official Htc kernal that came with the 3.70 update which you provide in your list of kernals and voila everything is moving as fast and smooth as if I was back on a Sense rom. Fyi, I always wipe everything multiple times before I install a new rom because I'm paranoid, lol. So in other words I will reboot to Amon Ra recovery and go through each wipe option at least twice and make sure to wipe my sdcard clean whenever I install a new rom.

I'm enjoying it so far but don't see the advantage of the bundled kernal although maybe that's just me. Maybe this will be useful for any newbs that flash and have lag problems.
[EVO 4G Android Development] azfxstb:
Thats the kernel I have been using no issues great battery life

10 hrs normal use 72%
[EVO 4G Android Development] shin.andy:
Thanks!

I've been using that kernal too.

It's running pretty good right now.

This is weird but whenever I flash a different app or whatever in recovery my ap2sd is still breaking. I have to go to terminal and write the commands over and over again.

Is anyone else having this problem?
[EVO 4G Android Development] vaelek:
If you're talking about the cell signal icon from the Un-Theme, basically the green version of what is in theme builder, that should be available tomorrow. A new version of VPS was pushed out tonight that is a re-write of theme builder allowing me to update it going forward without having to update the whole app. If that's not the icon you're talking about, just point me to something that has it and I will get a theme made up.

Many folks recommend wiping dalvik, but ever since the kernel injection method came to be, I have not wiped anything in months when flashing kernels and haven't had any problems personally.

Unfortunately kernels react differently on everyone's phone.. I try to go with the most stable, all around compatible one, with the best performance and battery. This usually ends up being one of the latest Netarchy BFS No-HAVS kernels.

I've not heard of anyone else running into this so far. Are you sure it's when flashing and not just when rebooting? What does a2sd check show when this happens? And what do you have to do exactly to kickstart it again?
[EVO 4G Android Development] shin.andy:
I just typed in a2sd check and it says alot lol... dark tremor is definitely running though, but I read that zipalign isn't running at boot.

Whenever a2sd broke I would just type in "a2sd cachesd" and then it would work. Jim you're right... this happens when I reboot.

Ill type it a2sd zipalign and see if that helps.

Also, I changed back to the stock kernel you put in because I was reading some crazy threads about the side effects of running sbc kernals? Is it that dangerous? Can a phone really blow up lol..
[EVO 4G Android Development] shin.andy:
You think that's probably the problem?
[EVO 4G Android Development] shad0w77:
hey vaelek... loving the new theme options! perhaps we can get some colorized versions of the framework icons (blue, orange, green, white, etc.) or even a whole gingerbread/honeycomb set so we can theme all the icons to match nicely. i understand this is a lot a work, but just throwing it out there. and maybe even some rom colors (for the window outlines and selection colors). they are all blue currently, but maybe a green, orange, or grey set.

this would allow us to totally theme the rom to a specific color.

again, just throwing it out there.....
[EVO 4G Android Development] shad0w77:
oh yeah, and ziggy just released a new kernel. it's working great so far. running 128-1152 mhz w/ a 50mv undervolt. screen animations and window transitions are just as smooth as the stock htc kernel. may want to add it into VPS.....

[EVO 4G Android Development] shin.andy:

Everything is working well now !!

check out the vael forums as well guys! There's alot of cool add ons on the active threads on the vael forums.

Jim said there's some honeycomb mods he's bringing out or I think it is out already?

What kernal is honestly the best though lol... I want to figure that out.
[EVO 4G Android Development] leenypost:
Just checking Evo Benchers, best all around performance seems to come from Net 4.3.2 CFS NO HAVS NO UV and the power savings from the HAVS versions actually seems rather minimal...

Right now I am using 4.3.2 HAVS MORE with good results though... Might flash the non-havs and see performance readings then.

I can't answer for him but I am not using it other than to test benchmarks and battery life is improved for me without it....

[EVO 4G Android Development] shin.andy:
4.3.2 toastmod cfs-havs-sbc beta is my favorite but I just went back to the stock kernal vaelpak came with. I read some negative reviews about sbc kernals..
[EVO 4G Android Development] leenypost:
Only thing I really saw was that it makes battery shelf life shorter, but for as long as the battery does last before the cells go bad, the battery should last much longer on a per charge basis.

r u using havs more or havs less?
[EVO 4G Android Development] rjl09:
Any updates on the genie widget Vael?? I know ur busy, but I really need this to complete my rom
[EVO 4G Android Development] vaelek:
It sounds like you may have flashed a kernel at some point that broke the startup scripts. Kernels come in 2 flavors, universal updater, and full boot.img. If the kernel zip has just a boot.img and maybe modules, and it breaks the scripts, flashing a universal updater kernel afterward will not fix it. Does VPS show the SD speed tweak unchecked after each boot?

I'm working on a few different angles with this. Ultimately, I want to make it configurable right from VPS for colors and such that it does not require flashing anything. I've got a mod so far that allows me to turn the persistent GPS reticle on/off on the fly without so much as a quick reboot, so it looks promising. I've also just posted a new VPS yesterday that has a full rewrite of the theme builder allowing me to add things to it dynamically without updating VPS itself, so more themes will be coming with that also.

I'm going to try and make it a point to get a bunch of newer missing kernels up into VPS tonight or tomorrow. Hadn't heard about any from Ziggy in a while so thanks for reminding me of his also :)

Unless the particular benchmark app has a test that reads/writes to /data/app or /cache (if moved to ext), it should have no effect on that.

Sorry man, posted over on my forums but forgot it was asked for here also. Look in VPS > Mods > Apps. You will likely need to install RSS Backend, HTC News, and Genie Widget to get what you are looking for.

im having trouble flashing 3.2. i downloaded from 2 different links and wiped everything properly. It just stays on the white screen forever. i pulled the battery and turned it on again and still no go. im using amon ra 1.8.
[EVO 4G Android Development] vaelek:
Titanium has been having problems lately, in general, not caused by any rom. If you are having problems with the market also you may have not had a good flash, ie not everything wiped. Reboots when installing certain apps are usually linked to a bad busybox install, you could try the Problems? button in Titanium if this is the only thing that is going wrong.

Sounds like not everything is being wiped before flashing. I would try updating to the 2.x Amon Ra and trying again, or flashing Calk's format-all before flashing the rom. Also, make sure to check that the MD5 matches. A *LOT* of random odd problems are caused by bad downloads.
[EVO 4G Android Development] rjl09:
Thanks Vael for the solution to get the genie widget!
[EVO 4G Android Development] lmatth13:
Thank you for the quick reply. I must say I really love your rom, the fact I can have little piece of both world (sense & asop) is amazing. I just can't get all my apps to install with TB or the market without the system rebooting. I have taking all the appropriate steps as far as doing a clean install (wiping multiple times) and I updated busy box but for some reason nothing work.

Please help with any solutions

Hey Jim the sd speed tweak is checked. That option was always checked when I flashed the rom. When I restart my phone the a2sd does go away even after I typed in zipalign.

Before I was using dt's beta for a2sd but the one that's on your rom is dates for 10/2010? Is this the latest one?

Help me out please lol.. its not really a big deal but it feels good to have everything set perfectly.

Maybe I should install the new dt files? Flash it over?
[EVO 4G Android Development] vanessaem:
Hi, is it not possible to flash alternative locks screens than the two that come with this ROM?
[EVO 4G Android Development] vaelek:
If you used dt's beta on this install of the rom it's possible that caused the problem. I have heard of a lot of random problems with it. The version I include is the last stable release. If the sd tweak is checked after booting then startup scripts are being run so that's not the problem.

It's possible the permissions got messed up somehow. Make sure /system/etc/init.d/04apps2sd has execute permission

ls -l /system/etc/init.d/04apps2sd

(That is an L) This should show "-rwxrwxrwx"

Another thing you can check is after booting, look at /data/dta2sd.log (You may want to delete the log first before rebooting to make sure it's actually generated at boot and not left over from running manually)

Such as?

I don't think these are just for this particular ROM but if it is, the question remains the same. Can I flash other locks?
[EVO 4G Android Development] vaelek:
Awesome man, I'll definitely take a look at this.

They replace the HTC resources in whole, 20mb worth of images. Flashing one of these may be possible, but will probably end up with an odd looking result having a mix of my theming and the theming from that rom. These also only work if you are using the HTC Lockscreen. So while you could probably flash them without breaking everything, they are not "compatible" between [themed] roms. I will however add those to the list of things I'm trying to get ready and posted up in theme builder.
[EVO 4G Android Development] vanessaem:
Thanks for your response. Besides that, nice ROM. :)
