Young fungus you are correct. The system side of things will have to be reset from scratch. This is what I do in detail.

1. Set up my ROM with all my apps, contacts, everything up to date.

2. Without adding extra stuff that isn't needed, I go into recovery and wipe cache and dalvik 3x each.

3. Make a nandroid backup of just my Data partition.

4. Rename it something like "Warm-Z-Data-03132011" or "Mik-Z-Data-03132011". It is not recommended to use one rom's nandroid with another, especially going from an evo rom (mikfroyo) to a port (mik z) or vice versa. Going from Mik Z to warm Z is fine, at least for me thus far, and vice versa.

5. Now that I have these files, I am happy because all of my user data is saved and back-up. I go on with my day with my rom as is.

6. Say tomorrow I want to make mods for mik z but I am on myn z.

7. Since I have my data-nandroid from today, all I need to is wipe celar factory reset, cache, and dalvik.

8. I wipe a couple times just to be safe.

9. Next, nand-restore the data partition. For me, "Warm-Z-Data-03132011"

10. WITHOUT restarting, flash the ROM. This will replace the system and boot partitions while only leaving your data-restore intact.

11. Now you can reboot and find that all your apps, contacts, accounts, settings, etc are back where you left them. Your homescreens will also be there.

12. Even though the user data is restored, the system files are "fresh", thus giving you a nice "clean" install feeling. It works for me just fine.

I hope this makes a little more sense.

Edit: Thanks fro the screenshots!
[EVO 4G Android Development] nick1313:
Yup that makes sense, thanks. I think I am going to copy and paste that into notebook or something and save it and then give it a shot with Mik4.4 to mik4.5..I assume that won't work going from Mik 4.5 to the odex mik4.6, since they are different.

Also I didn't see in the OP about the lockscreen settings. Can I just rename it to .bak like in froyo 4.5? I'm going to search thread in the meantime.

EDIT: Search is down.
[EVO 4G Android Development] tommytomatoe:
You can do that. You should assume that any sense apk can be disabled and you'll get a functioning android experience, as long as the apk is not crucial or co-dependent with other apps. the HtcLockScreen is not one them, as far as I understand. Feel free to change it to .bak and you'll have the vanilla lockscreen.
[EVO 4G Android Development] a senile fungus:
What if the ROM is one that formats partitions while it is flashing?

~ I'm a fungi
[EVO 4G Android Development] nick1313:
OK cool..I assumed that and was going to just give it a try and if it f'd up I would just restore nand. ;)

Going through the plethora of skins/mods/etc now. Wow!:eek:

EDIT: I noticed that it doesn't give me the option to add the other tabs on the lockscreen. I don't see the vanilla lockscreen app in my app drawer. I'm doing normal reboot now to see if that was it since I only did hot restart.

EDIT2: Ok, can I change the settings of the vanilla lockscreen? Ie add the text messaging and phone tab to the lockscreen? I can't seem to find that anywhere.
[EVO 4G Android Development] nick1313:
Hmm...What ROM is that and what partition is it formatting?
[EVO 4G Android Development] tommytomatoe:
Most devs include in the script to partition/wipe the system, boot, and cache partitions. But I haven't seen one that formats the data partition. If that isn't your question, then disregard.

If you're asking if it is enough to let the rom script to do the partitioning, the answer is no. Not enough. You need to wipe everytime to ensure no errors later.

Only the stock vanilla screen is available at this time. I tried porting over the mod you are referring to with the multiple sliders and kept getting force closes. JsChiSurf said he is available to help me when he has time. It's his mod, for general information.
[EVO 4G Android Development] nick1313:
Apply Skin

So I applied the leonidas skin and it didn't change the launcher bar, it still has the stock one that came with MikZ. Is that because I flashed the 4x5 layout stuff?

With all the mods out there is it even needed to flash a certain skin?

EDIT: Had to apply it twice.
[EVO 4G Android Development] nick1313:
Okey dokey...I definitely prefer that one over the stock sense one. Thanks.
[EVO 4G Android Development] a senile fungus:
I think that vaelek's newest runs a format_all script... maybe a couple Virus ROMs too...

I suppose it just wouldn't work for those, because you'd recover a data backup then flash a ROM which wipes the data.

Nonetheless, a new thing for me to experiment with.

Thank you, kind sir

Red Title Bar

In the post here, it gives you directions if you are using clockwork to flash things but not if you are using AmonRa. Am I to assume they are the same?

I'd like a clear looking task/title bar like what you can see in my setup link in my sig, with the cardinals background and the leonidas skin (which is pretty sweet looking).
[EVO 4G Android Development] mdixon4az:
I think the difference is that there is an Edify version an older version of the update script. So, if you have CWM 3.0 you need to get the Edify version of the script. I think the option 1 steps will be the same for RA.

EDIT: I bet you can get away with just doing option III.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Verdammt:
Somebody correct me if I'm wrong and tell me how to do it if I am, but, the glowing circle battery icon is NOT compatible with the colored notification icons? I've tried flashing them in each order, but it seems like they both overwrite the same framework (I hope that's the right terminology.).

[EVO 4G Android Development] nick1313:
Yeah kind of what I was thinking too, but wanted to double check.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jdeloach:
That is correct.

But, I will make you a glowing circle with the color notifications icons.

Theme

I am having SO many problems changing the themes on this ROM. First I flashed the GEARS-RED theme and it worked. But, my taskbar still has the all blue theme which drives me nuts. Then I tried to flash everything that is supposed to get rid of it and it doesnt.

Will Mik's Multi Color Theme from 4.5 work on this ROM? I just want a red theme :confused:

Any help would be GREATLY appreciated all!!!

I finally flashed this yesterday for folk time use and haver been getting horrible battery life compared to my Mik 4.4 setup.

Can you guys help me figure out we what is killing it?

Thanks

EDIT: Wow, attaching photos from the XDA app does not come out so well. Basically is says that I was unplugged for about 2hrs and already down to 78%. I restarted the phone to check uptime and awake time. They seem normal. Using Mik 4.4 I could go 3-4 hrs before it would drop down from 100%. My mAs seem to be -200 as an average while screen is off. I never paid attention to that while on MikFroyo since the battery life was always so awesome.

EDIT 2: Been off charger for about 4.5hrs and already down to 59%. Have only had one voice call for about 10 mintues and 5-6 text messages all day.

Not sure what the kernel was on 4.4 but this may be a different one and needs time to settle
[EVO 4G Android Development] nick1313:
It's just like any other ROM, as far as turning off mobile data, sync, etc..Not sure if you did all that or not. I flashed it yesterday or the day before as well and have been getting not so good battery life. However I've been using it a lot more because I'm still trying to get it to the way I like it. So I'll hold judgment on the battery life until I get it completely set up. Be sure to give it a couple of days to settle in (your phone/kernel that is).

Check out this post about conditioning your battery.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Cranemachine:
I followed these instructions PERFECTLY. Then my phone would just keep rebooting from the MIKFROYO Z screen..so then I wiped the cache and dalvik and still received the exact same thing...I ended up reflashing the ROM.

:(:(I just want a red taskbar to match my theme :(:(
[EVO 4G Android Development] nick1313:
Are you talking about these instructions?

Which option did you try or did you try all 3?
[EVO 4G Android Development] trollallot:
That post works great unless your like me and flash different roms daily lol
[EVO 4G Android Development] nick1313:
Well I think once you get the battery set it doesn't matter how often you flash ROM's, yes you might have to go a couple of days without flashing, but....

I'm like you, I flash ROMs pretty much daily as well...at least about every other day.;)

Yes, I am definitely on warm. But, everytime there has been an update I have always moved my current framework and htcresources to the new nightly to keep my themed files. Maybe I need to just copy all my images to the newest framework and htcresources and see if that works.

Would it be possible to lose the indicators all together and use that space to increase the size of the power toggles?

maybe try RA... although im sure it should not the issue...

my best guess... re d/l.

On RA 2.3 should I reflash my recovery will try to re d/l zip and flash again...thanks everyone for your help so far!!!!
[EVO 4G Android Development] selders59:
First grab a fresh d/l of Mik Z, your first d/l might have gotten corrupted,try not to use Calks Format All zip, seen posts in a few threads of folks having issues from that. Do another complete wipe with AmonRA (ie. Factory reset wipe/cache/dalvik-cache/battery stats) then flash the Mik Z.

I would imagine this being caused by the icon and image dependencies in the dialer, phone, and com.htcresources. There are images in each of these, and so changing the icons only in the framework-res.apk sometimes isn't enough.

It scrolls, yes. It works. I believe you're not looking in the right place. hehe. Just add Htc Calendar. The Agenda is the second option of three. It will have a picture of a full 4x4, but it really is only 4x2.
