Mix and match tweakz = crazy fast Evo + great battery life - EVO 4G Android Development

Hello All,
I had been tweaking my Evo for a week and came to a good solution.
I was trying to achieve the best speed with the best battery life.
HTC appz works and camera working also.
What tweak was used:
Compcache + JIT (no crash or reboot) after a week of use.
Removed HTC lock screen and use AWD Launcher Pro (disable HTC Sense)
Use 4G Widget and Flashlight Widget.
Use Flash 10.1 for Android 2.1
Use a static wallpaper
Rom use:
Fresh .03 as base and included the compcache and A2SD. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=700448
Currently using Aloysius 3.0.2 rom as it is the same as Fresh .03 but with colors theme. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=702361
JIT From Rom:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=699814
Remove HTC lock:
I use option 2 because I needs the alarm clock. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=707466&highlight=lock+screen
Disable HTC Sense:
Use alternative launcher.
Using Widget:
4G Widget. **Warning** 4G will be be enable each time after a reboot when using this appz. Make sure to turn it off with the widget. Using 4G drains the battery quick. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=695056
Flashlight Widget: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=696014&highlight=flashlight
Launcher:
I use AWD Launcher Pro, but any other launcher can be use as the home screen.
Direction:
1) Make sure to nandroid your current ROM just incase you want to goes back to it.
2) Make a backup of your appz using Titanium Backup.
3) Make sure to wipe completely before flashing to Fresh .03 or Aloysius 3.0.2 ROM
4) Remove HTC lock screen and use a different type of launcher.
5) Use a static wallpaper.
6) Restore your appz with Titanium Backup
7) At this step, make a nandroid backup before installing JIT just incase soming went wrong during JIT installation.
8) Install JIT.
9) Configure the EVO to your liking and enjoy. (may reboot or force close during setup of some programs. after that, it was completely stable)
Result:
The first few usages of the Evo might result in reboot but after that it was great. I am currently using my Evo for a week now and it had not reboot or force close. The only things I notice is the increase in speed and battery life. All the appz launch quick and runs just as quick. The animation is very smooth. The HTC appz (such as dialer, texting, contacts) seems to works just as well. Overall, I am very satisfy with the result.
Credits:
It goes to all the Developers whom had created the incredible roms and programs that makes it possible for this tweakz.
Thanks minhgi

development ftw
EDIT: ooooh a guide has formed.. word

You should put this together and release it, I like the things you did and added.

Never tested my Evo. I have 8.831 just now. Reboot and got 9.51.
thanks for letting me know of linpack

What exactly does JIT do for the EVO?

It just something that will speed up android 2 - 5 time and is found in froyo.

I just tried installing jit on fresh .3 but I got a signature verification error. Has anyone else run into this?

make sure your Evo is completely rooted. Also you might wanna post in Fresh forum to get a complete answer.

Anyone here knows of a good guide to enable backswap with compcache?

You have to download maps from the market if you use it...
My Bluetooth Headset works fine so that is in order.
WiFi Works fine also
NOTE : I tried to flash SuperCSDIX10.zip as an update and it did not work. Do a full wipe then flash this new version.
I've installed Haykuro's Danger/Death SPL 1.33.2005 to test it with this Rom and so far everything is working smooth. I think it will work with the Hard SPL Also.
You can get this fast fast fast rom here :
SuperCSDIX10.zip DOWNLOAD
or if you don't like the Xperia theme you can get the older version:
REx3MixCSDI.zip DOWNLOAD
Metamorph Theme for REx3MixCSDI (Note: Don't just flash this on top of REx3Mix you need to use Metamorph -on the market- You will more than likely need Haykuro's SPL or Use Firerat's Custom MTD Partitons)
Download :Green Dev Droid Theme by gEkX
But don't just flash away with this one. Theres a few things you want to do before you get your 3D gaming on.
1. Backup everything on your SD card
2. If you already have swap and a ext partition then you should wipe and repair the ext partition. If not your going to want to partition out your SD card like so:
(remainder) fat32, (512mb-1gb) ext2/3/4, (at least 64mb) linux-swap. REMEMBER When you partition your SD card it will format it. So make sure to backup your SD's contents to your computer.
This is easily done using Amon's RA_recovery-v1.7.0
(If you don't want Apps2SD then you can skip the ext parts)
Now that your ready proceed to the install :
3. Boot into Recovery
4. Place SuperCSDIX10.zip or REx3MixCSDI.zip whichever you downloaded in the root of your SD
5. Wipe/Factory Reset
6. Wipe The Dalvik-cache
7. Wipe the ext partition
8. Repair the ext partition
9. Flash SuperCSDIX10.zip or REx3MixCSDI.zip (Whichever you prefer) then Reboot. Go though the Setup.
10. Get the new version of SupSetup on the Market
11. Setup Apps2SD with SupSetup then Reboot
12. Setup Linux-Swap with SupSetup the Reboot
(11 and 12 are both under Options in SupSetup 4. Also make sure you reboot in-between steps 11 and 12 this is IMPORTANT!)
13. If you get FC's when restoring backed up apps try running Fix permissions. In recovery go to console... then type utility... go to fix permissions and run it... then reboot.
14. Last but not least; One of the bigger issues with this ROM is the battery drain. With "Normal" usage I would have to charge my phone before half the day was over. This is what I did to fix this issue:
- Go into SupSetup
- Under CPU Options turn off "TurboMode" and "Modder CPU"
- Optional* Under Special Options I turned on Aceleración 3d. This, I believe, helps frame rate smoothness in 3D games and helps overall rendering.
- Download either "SetCPU for Root Users" or "OverclockWidget (Need Root)" ). Personally I got OverclockWidget because it was free but SetCPU may give you more options and whatnot.
- Set your Max: 528mhz and set your min: 128mhz
After about 24hrs of Normal usage (Surf the net a couple hours. Check Twidroid, Email, and XDA Mobile...constantly . a little gaming. plus phone calls and text. The rest on standby) I have only used 3/4 of my battery.
If your having troubles with backups not showing the the market you could try this:
Zei said:
For the ppl with backup issues, try downloading "MyBackup Pro" or "Titainium Backup" Mind you these are paid apps but the features on here will save your lives. Both apps backup your apk files WITH the current data/market links on them and has the ability to use a 1-click restore so it wont take you 5 hours to restore ya apps.
I used it on this rom and have had no FC's at all

.....Option 3 to backup, Option 4 to restore (yes it has the market links, but it's great if used with tianium to restore data; this only restores app, not data/cache from the app.)

Now you should good to go! This is a really really fast ROM check my linpack test if you don't believe the hype. Its Below with some screens I posted. Enjoy.
Thanks HTCClay for remixing CSDI into perfection! And thanks to all the Devs that helped getting this one out.
seems verrrrrrry cool!!! Flashing now!
Why does the search widget look like that in your screenshot?

Been using this for a while
I have been using this rom since yesterday afternoon and everything seems awesome, except the alarm doesn't make any sound when it goes off. Other than that everything else is awesome.

well honestly they are very different in terms of roms, clay might have scripts and such that mligns doesnt, check out the blue magic changelog and check out mligns, huge difference...
im on mligns also so i cant complain, i jus add wat i want from other roms he he
I flashed this before, noticed there is no "clear" button on the notificaiton bar. Minor thing, but really bugged me.

I would just stay where you are...I flashed it to see what it was all about and it was pretty much the same, just a little theme additions. If there is anything major I definitely couldn't tell.
I tried it and, to be honest, I prefer Httclay's Superfast to CSDI. Faster and more responsive, IMO

Appreciate the info, Stupid/SuperFast is quite speedy right now, most likely due to the JIT....have to see on the long term performance over a few days. Prob will skip this build
For me, this CSDI is faster than any of the other CSDI's and definitely the fastest HTCClay ROM I've used.
Scrolling, opening apps, opening the app list, going from screen to screen, all super fast and smooth. Not a single issue so far after a couple nights of use.
Alarm Clock fix

You are right my friend the sound dosen't work on the alarm clock! I found a fix though. Download the old AlarmClock.apk here : DOWNLOAD
Then place that in the root of your SDcard. Next use better terminal and enter in this code:
Code:
$su
#mount /system -o remount,rw
#rm /system/app/DeskClock.apk
#cp /sdcard/AlarmClock.apk /system/app/AlarmClock.apk
Then reboot and everything should work fine.
on screen keyboard doesn't fix incorrect spelling. please fix
market
Also market is broken. It does show paid apps, but not all apps show up in market. I somehow corrupted my apk backup and now I can't find musicjunk or pandora in the market. If anyone knows how to fix it let me know and I'll come back to this rom asap. Hope this helps others also. Have a good night.
dude you gotta fix that POST and make the Download links CLEAR and not hidden in the "here" use DOWNLOAD or 4share
anyways there are all these "remix" ROMs floating around, its best to stick a straight up ROM, not one of themed mix and matches, either Clay's or CSDI, Clay is a SOLID DEV, with many versions of his FastTest series so he gets my vote, he keeps up his solid work with a a few ROMs a week
market
@ sianaka
market enabler did the trick for me
so cool====== everythings was change shooooooooooooooooooooooooock
i used this ROM 4days
What's the spl requirement and card layout for this rom.? A friend was trying to flash earlier but said no go for him. TIA.

This looks nice, will flash when I get home. Has anyone noticed that on all the roms with that launcher, the phone button isn't level with the others? Just something I saw
Great looking rom! Congrats on your first build. I use alot of different apps for work and need quite a bit of memory. How much memory does this rom start with after you flash it?
My other prob from previous build w this rosie was that when u hold down an app to move over to a different screen the words on the bottom get mixed in w other words.. kinda weird lol, not huge for me cause it doesnt affect my phones ability to operate but it does look goofy haha.. I love the outline of the app folders and stuff.. wish that was w every rosie

I will flash it again when I get home and let you know. I have been running since yesterday and am sitting at 335mb internal. That is after I have installed some other personal stuff.
Update on battery....I have been unplugged for 11hrs and 13min and am sitting at 81%.
That is with Netarchy's Universal 4.1.9.1 and ScreenOff Profile set in SetCPU.
Please let me know battery results so I can determine what to cook in the next update.

You can use MoreLocale 2 from the market to set your country, but the this rom is not multi language for now
I think you mean "ad free".
I think it's terrible, developers spent a lot of time creating great apps, the least we can do is support them by showing the ads...
If people really have that little data allowance, they can easily install the application if they choose, but I think it is wrong to include it in the ROM.
Just my opinion
nice another new rom congrats man
Does this use the Sense lock screen or is it the standard Android one?

Congratulations on starting your own thread with this ROM. It saves me a lot of time searching for posts concerning your Bludy ROM
The ROM is running just fine for me, no sleep death or other problems at all. I flashed the mtd with 150 3 parameters and have 172 MB free in data/cache. No need to integrate it with the ROM ala Smoki. I just love the speed without the sense baggage.
If you are looking for things to do, I would like the transparent lockscreen back. It now uses /system/customize/resource/htc_wallpaper_01_lockscreen.jpg which I can overwrite with one more to my liking but not the transparent one I would prefer.

I'd love stock lockscreen but I know it's not that simple...
anyway, how is battery life compared to Sense ?
Ok I made a non wipe update for the transparent lockscreen but can't test it right know. So test it and replay
I will work for stock lockscreen later.

Works great, thanks much. BTW, I removed several apps that I do not use and with my 150 3 mtd setting I have 16.7MB free in system. The apps are DCSStock.apk, Facebook.apk, HTC_CIME.apk and Talk.apk.
Thanks wjsturgis3. Will upload it to first page. And I wondering which apps to remove for next release

I don't know. DCSStock for sure since you deleted Stock.apk. It's easy enough for anyone to remove what they don't want. Anything available in the Market should be left out.
It works great so far!
Just out of curiosity, is it possible to get the widgets from LaucherPro for free or is it possible to get prettier widgets? The stock ones are really boring!
Also, could a transluent/transparent dropdown bar be possible?
A problem I found is that when typing in a password, it always jumps back up to where the user id was.
Please keep updating!

You have to bay the LauncherPro + if you want to use the widgets..sorry. But if you search in the market you will see that there is almost everything you need
I will post update with a transparent dropdown but I think stock is more good
Try this for transparent status bar:
New version soon

[ROM] Frost ROM v4.0 [1/19/11] "A gingersense experience"

BrieflyGeek is proud to release Frost ROM 4.0! Frost ROM is a HTC sense ROM built off of the newest 3.70 OTA. This is a sense rom custom themed with aosp elements and apps. This means HDMI, 4G and FM radio will be fully functional. No, this ROM does not include the sense launcher, or widgets, and never will. The goal of this project is to get us as close to stock android as possible while still being functional and staying on a sense framework. This ROM improves the functionality of your phone, while removing bloat and increasing speed. I have started a new thread to reduce clutter as well as starting over with a new approach in terms of Frosts looks. Enjoy!

Known (these issues have been acknowledged)
-Mms will not send while wifi is enabled. Quickly disabling it through the power menu will send the mms.
-personalize in settings force closes. This is because you don't have rosie guys.
-using update script still. had trouble with updater script so until I fix it im sticking with the update. This means this will work on all amon recoveries and all clockwork recoveries except for 3.0 which uses only updater scripts.
-make sure to update your radios

This is NOT gingerbread, this is htc sense, themed to gingerbread. It does NOT include the screen on off animations you see in aosp.

Cumulative ChangeLog
Fixes:
Constant sync fix
Some users have been reporting constant sync issues. This is because of removing friendstream and peep which HTC framework syncs to. To fix the issue, flash this, which will restore the apps. I've updated to a properly signed package, so it should flash fine for you.
To those of you with voicemail notification issues. There is also an app in the market (SPC - Super Private Conversation) which you can block numbers with. All you need to do is download the app, add 9016 to your block list, and bye bye voicemail notifications. This should not effect you receiving voicemails at all, since its simply blocking the number through which the sms notification comes. If you're bothered by this notification try it out.
Changelog:
Changelog has now moved off XDA. Cleaning up a bit. You can find previous changelogs here.
FROST F.A.Q
This is a spot for frequently asked questions about Frost ROM. Please read the FAQ before asking your questions, as they might be answered. This will be updated with new FAQ once they come up.
Q: Does 4G, HDMI out and FM radio work on this rom?
A: Yes, all should be working.
Q: Apps are missing!!?
A: I have removed a lot of apps from the stock build. All can be found in the downloadable file called "removed apps"
Q: I still have the HTC in call screen, slide to answer
A: Correct, this rom is still a htc sense rom. These things are tricky to change as they are cooked into the actual base of the rom. For now, this is how its going to be.
Q: Will a alternate theme work on this rom?
A: Certainly, just remember I have made many edits to the framework which the theme has the potential to replace. Always nandroid. I have included some themes specifically compatible with the rom and will continue to support more.
Q: Help! I can't download apps from the market!?
A: This sometimes happens for one reason or another. If you have issues downloading from the market, open settings>applications>market and clear your market data. Then reboot. Should solve any market problems/slowness.
Q: Does this rom support a2sd?
A: Yes, since 2.1. It requires an ext partition on your sd card.
Q: Options in the "personalize" category in settings force close when trying to select them. (home wallpaper, scenes)
A: This is not a bug. This feature is alongside htcs launcher. These options WILL NOT work.

Yeah I just saw his update today. Id like to test it out and keep an eye on others feedback.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
dl now looks good!
Just finished download. About to do backups then will give this a look.
Ur the man...
Once I'm able to get netarchys new kernel downloaded I'll try it out and let you guys know. The kernels are universal tho, so if you flash one, make sure to flash the no havs and it will keep frosts ramdisk intact.
Edit: 4.2 added to add-ons, post 3. If anyone else tests it, let me know your results. Thanks!
I just want to confirm. I only need to do a full wipe when changing major (2-3, 3-4) versions and not the minor 3.0-3.1 versions, correct?
The email app isn't working with my yahoo. Is there anyway to use the HTC email app
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
No sir, as long as you wiped from 2+ to 3+ you should be good, as that is when the new build was released.
Oh, and I removed htc news from this one.. but if you flash over you will still have it. Not a big deal tho, if you like it, keep it. If not, titanium it.

Perfect rom thank you
Barn I just downloaded and installed and let me tell u this rom is by far the best rom I have ever flashed and right of the bat I can see the performance and bettery life I am a heavy internet user and usually within 15 min of surfing the net I see the battery drain and with this rom is hasn't even dropped a percent. THANKS FOR ALL YOUR HARD WORK IT IS MUCH APPRECIATED and the multitouch keyboard is very a nice add.....

Voicemail?
Barn - great work on this, sorry if this is a noob question: is the Sprint VM app flashable on this rom? I'd prefer that to texts when getting a VM. Otherwise, this + launcher pro = awesome.

Second question. Is the MattedBlue theme available yet for 3.1? The description still says 2.0+, but I didn't think it worked for 3.0 builds, since you changed quite a bit of the underlying framework.

No, it probably won't. I was hoping the creator would port it by now but no dice. I'll try n get to that soon as I know some of you guys liked the themes.
Next release in line is AOSP, then matted. I just gotta study for a bit.. haha
Basically this is as close to CM6 as we're gonna get while still having full functionality, right?
aosp keyboard
hey guys how can i change the keyboard, i tried downloading the remove apk but link is working. thanks in advance!!

[ROM]BlazeROM V.2 EXT4-EDIFY 01/16/2010 Released ~Swype Edify updated 1/20/2011~

Welcome to BLAZEROM!!!!!!!!!!!
About my ROM
My Roms goal is to have an extremely optimized and feature rich rom....i will be optimizing files until i hit my goal and just for you i will keep optimizing.
I read people wanting faster and slimmer roms all the time,and i am focused on giving you that.I am always looking at other roms seeing what i can make smaller and providing that to you.
My rom is not and will probably never claim to give new things however it is a feature rich,slim and getting slimmer rom with features in other roms to make BlazeROM faster and faster while saving your battery.

wired tether
Wired Tether is pretty useful to. hopefully it could work in this feature rich rom.
http://code.google.com/p/android-wired-tether/
this one is really good but needs kernel suport so I dont know how you could get it to work,. good luck I really hope it can work.
Sounds good!!! Ext4 or rfs??

Sent from my ext4 rooted epic running midNIGHT ROM and Gingerbread theme
I tried optimizimg my apk files to a smaller size,the apk's did get smaller but the overall speed of my rom got slower and it started getting some fc's for some apps.
Point that im trying make is that doing too much optimization will hurt the overall performance speed-from my expirience,but different methods can have different results.Try none optimized version vs optimized version and see for youself which is faster,just givin you heads up.
Let me know when your ready and I'll put your rom though the paces.

I am still learning what i want to do optimization wise,ive got a procedure set for all image files however i am not sure about .apk/ app/system files as of yet if you could give me insight on this through pm that would be great.
Thank you PTFDMedic your rom will be serving as my starting base.Thanks for giving me support and a great rom to encourage me to make my own.
Thanks for the support thus far.I will get V.1 Up as soon as possible.
I know you said based on Midnight, so I hope you use Launcher Pro and remove TW
i actually cannot find where the TW launcher is it doesnt say or im not looking hard enough i have a launcher entitled launcher2 but i dont see anything else not even launcherpro.

Depending on your theme colors you can have a themed market like blue or black. I'll def. Try it out. Wish you the best of luck

Feel free to use whatever... The undervolt doesn't need ext4 to function... If you don't want to use it though, anyone can download the viper store from the market and flash it themselves.
And congrats.

tried to do that with the undervolt...on the cwm 3 it rejected it saying that it has to be edify compatible.
i have removed touchwiz and it is going to be a launcherpro rom.i am hoping to release this sometime tonight however i am running into a few problems so we will see,mainly my bootanimation is not working and should be.
in response to BTThomas my rom is EXT4/EDIFY your rom only is EXT4 until your rom and .zips are edify compatible they won't install properly.
Perhaps if you don't know how you could message PTFDMedic as he seems to know it from the back of his hand and has done several.Thank you however for allowing me to use your .zips,etc when they are all edify complaint.
PyRo
Will LauncherPro be removeable? I much prefer Zeam, because its about 1/4 the size of LauncherPro, and its updated regularly.
