can someone post the expresso bar from skyrider. I downloaded it in rom manger, but it changes the lock screen, clock and the stauts bar. I just need the expresso bar only... please help???
I would like this also.
I'd like the expresso bar with the smooth sense icons, as of right now the only way for me to do this is to install one of the black notification bars from rom manager. This resets my rom again, and then I can add the smooth sense icons from recovery which works flawlessly.
Is there a way to install things from ROM manager without clearing everything? Or is it possible to backup my notification bar and application icons so I can easily add them to any deodexed ROM I flash?

you shouldn't have to wipe everything if you are using the same rom. A lot of the stuff from ROM Manager can be installed over your exsisting rom, just make sure you backup unless you want to go back.
I've tried it with espresso and the notification bars and its worked so far
so how do i get the expresso bar with the smooth sense icons, without it changing the clock and task bar. anytime i download the skyriader expresso theme it changes the expresso bar, htc clock, and status bar....? if someone knows how to do it and has a screen shot. it would be great to share it.

It doesn't get wiped if I do it through recovery, but when I installed the black notification bar with the green circle battery my ROM was reset again

If you downloaded it on rom manager the file should be on your sdcard in /clockworkmod/download/ or something like that.
If you don't want it to overwrite the other themes, just make it into a metamorph instead of flashing it with rom manager or recovery.

You can always download them at Droid-life
So does anyone know of a way other than using the Droid 2 Bootstrap to install the black notification bar?

If you are having trouble with bootstrap then make sure your Superuser is setup right. Do you have 2 super user icons? You can install it manually if you have ADB working.
When I click the icon it goes to a black screen with just the title bar saying Superuser Permissions. So it seems that may be the issue. Should I try to "reroot" my phone?

Whe you click on Superuser it shouldn't be just black screen, you shojld get a list of applications that are using Superuser permission, try reroot, maybe it will help

Does this do the same SuperClean as before? Or do you also remove the Star Wars ringtones?
Yesterday, I had a jarring experience when I got a notification, and I heard R2 beeping and such until I pulled down the notification shade. Before you had us only wipe the /system/app and /system/framework folders. I know I can remove them manually, it is on my list of things to do, but it would be nice if the Super Clean cleaned those out as well. No big deal, I really shouldn't have to reflash. Just a suggestion though.
So how can I manually clean out the old root files so I can root again. The one step root method is giving me an error 05 unable to copy superuser.apk

Try downloading Titanium Backup and click the "problems?" button. It will update the busybox. I had a similar problem, and that fixed it.

You do not need to ROOT, just download the latest superuser from market or find the thread on XDA and download it from there.
When we install do we wipe data, cache, and system or will the zip wipe the system for us?

Thats what it does. When you start an app that needs SU permissions it will pop up and ask to allow or deny. If you select allow and then go back into superuser app it will show it listed...

If you want to wipe data and cache then go ahead. Some people have luck with not wiping and others don't, it is up to you. You do not need to wipe system since the ROMs will do that.
Do not WIPE anything when going to Super Clean ROM. No need too.
I don't get how super clean works. Does it just delete the blur crap from the clean rom?
And if I install it can I manually put the Blur email back in? I hate everything blur but the email, since the email works way better than the stock email app. I have hotmail and gmail, so I need both email apps, and I'd prefer to use blur and gmail vs. stock and gmail.

It wipes system and framework and replaces it with the new files.
Copy bluremail.apk and bluremailengine.apk, set proper permissions, delete emailgoogle.apk and reboot. Should have blur email back.

Installation instructions & other useful information
To install on your Evo:
1. Copy OmegaEVO_v1.0_by_Ricsim78.zip to the root of your SD card.
2. Shut off your phone and boot into recovery.
3. Do a full wipe (Data, cache, Dalvik, SD Ext.) Do it twice to be sure if you want to!
4. Install OmegaEVO_v1.0_by_Ricsim78.zip. It should take a few minutes to install.
5. Reboot the phone. It should take a long time to start up the first time. Please be patient!
6. If all goes well, enjoy your new ROM!
7. If not, start over from step 2 after pulling your battery.
To install a custom kernel: Let the ROM load up first and then reboot into recovery and wipe the cache and Dalvik. Then install the custom kernel and reboot.
To install a theme: Let the ROM load up first and then reboot into recovery and wipe the cache and Dalvik. Then install the theme and reboot.
How to backup and restore using Titanium backup Here is the method I use to backup my phone information before I wipe and install a new ROM
I backup my entire phone with a batch "Backup all user apps + system data"
Wipe and install the new ROM,
I open Titanium Backup (TB) and give it super user rights.
I hit "Updates?" in TB and make sure I am running the latest.
I hit "Problems?" in TB and make sure I am using Busybox 1.60
Hit menu and select batch
Select "Backup all new apps + newer versions of apps", if any.
Select "Restore missing apps with data"
Go over the list and make sure you are restoring only what you want
Hit run batch operation
After it completes, go back into TB and backup restore.
Restore contacts twice
Restore MMS twice
Restore Mail twice
If any of the 3 above do not take, do it again
Restart your phone
Verify mail, MMS, and contacts restored. If not, restore again.
Why Amon RA and not Clockwork recovery?
Clockwork does not wipe the Dalvik properly (if at all). I personally have had nothing but problems with both Clockwork and ROM manager
I have said countless times that if you use either of the above, it is at your own risk. Install Amon RA recovery and I bet any wiping/installing problems will go away.
If you already are using ROM manager, pick the option to install a custom recovery, choose Amon RA 1.8. If that option is greyed out, reinstall the latest Clockwork then install RA.
Note: Do not do a fix permissions with anything unless you need to, you can screw stuff up that way.
Trust me, the new ROM is devoid of problems (I have never tested a ROM this much before releasing it). If you experience any, it is either something you are doing wrong or incomplete wipes thanks to your recovery not doing it's job properly.
What is the proper method to install the ROM and other things (kernels, themes, and mods, etc.)
Lets say you want to add a kernel, a theme, and then a clock modification.
Nandroid first!
ROM: Wipe data, cache, Dalvik (twice), SD:EXT.
Install the ROM.
Let the ROM load up the first time.
Sign into your Google account
Let it sync
When the sync icon goes away, reboot into recovery.
In recovery, wipe the cache and Dalvik (twice)
Install the theme
Reboot
Let it load all the way up again.
Reboot into recovery
In recovery, wipe the cache and Dalvik (twice)
Install the kernel
Reboot
Let it load all the way up again.
Reboot into recovery
Wipe the cache and Dalvik (twice)
Install the clock MOD
Reboot
This is my method and works every time without issue. Obviously, to install another item, you would repeat the process.
Hope this both helps and clarifies.
Which kernels work with this ROM?
Any that are designed for a Sense ROM. This includes:
Netarchy's
Kingclick's
Hero Over's
Ziggy's
HTC's
Which kernel do you recommend to use?
I cannot recommend a kernel for you because each EVO reacts different. The best for my phone can be the worse for yours.
You have to try the different ones available and pick the one that works best for you. What I do is start with their latest and work your way down until you find one that works well. Then stick with it.
This also goes for overclocking, SetCPU settings, etc.
Which themes work with this ROM?
Themes make your phone look nice but can also add problems to an otherwise smooth running ROM. You can use any theme you wish, but Nandroid first and if anything is broken, please do not blame the ROM as it is the theme that added the problem.
This includes my older modded themes and any theme made for 3.29 and 3.30 OTA updates They may work or they may work but break things.
Using my theme avoids this problem. It matches with my ROM perfectly and breaks nothing. Also, my theme is optimized for maximum speed and reduces the overhead of a theme (most themes are not optimized and add a bunch of stuff which increases system overhead, reduces battery life and speed a bit). As an added perk, it is a small download.
Hey, what gives? How come this ROM is saying it is 3.30.651.2 when I thought it was the 3.30.651.3 OTA?
3.30.651.3 is NOT a full ROM, it is a kernel and a few other minor changes. This is why the OTA is 7 MB or less instead of 160+ MB like a ROM usually is.
There is no issue, this is the 3.30.651.3 update. Hence the HTC # 17 kernel. Notice the screenshot in the first post also says that mine has 3.30.651.2? That is because basically this is a bandaid for a recently released OTA. That is why the number went up in the last decimal place. A major update would be like 3.31.XXX.X
sounds good, any screenies?

Well, without recooking it or using a theme (which would take out my wallpapers) no. Let me see if I can come up with a better solution. If not I will re-cook it with a different battery icon.

That was how this ROM was born, I liked almost all of the ones on the board, but none had the ringtones, notifications, or wallpapers I wanted.
Problem solved! Glad to see it is working for everyone as well. I had no problems with this ROM, think it helps that it is based off the OTA and not a custom ROM.
I will keep this ROM updated. Future plans is to come up with a Sense removed, AOSP element version and add more customizations. I also need to update some of the apps (TB, to name one). I kept some of the stock Sprint stuff in just so no one had problems updating the Voicemail or other Sprint apps left in.
Please rate the thread and let me know if there is anything I should include, change, etc. etc.

Sounds good man, hehe. Please let me know what you think and I hope you like this ROM.
I begin work on the next version of Azrael today, expect version 2.1 out soon, By Wednesday I should have it tested out and ready to go.
Known changes I am going to be making:
-all apps updated
-battery indicator changed to Smooth battery with percentage (far more useful than the one Azrael 2.0 is cooked with and so far the only complain heard about this ROM) *knock on wood*
-Another custom wallpaper or 3 thrown in for good measure
Whatever changes I make, I will of course note them in the release notes.
I also want to get some more theme options available, maybe modify some themes so they do not take out my custom wallpapers. That way you can make this ROM more how you want it to be as well.
I really hope everyone who tries this likes it, I know I am up there with some really good ROM makers here that have far more reputation, but so far everything has been positive and I hope that at least a few people find my work useful.
Lastly, I am glad to offer another ROM option and give back to a community that has given me much.
Let me start by saying I love the viper one rom, it's clean, fast, and the tweak setup is super easy and quick.
With that said, I'm extremely disappointed in the newest update from 2.1 to 2.2. After updating my phone runs slower then the stock default phone, contacts, and sms messaging apps take 3 times as long to load when it was instant before. All of my other complaints are aesthetic ado I won't ramble on about that.
Why is it so clunky of an update? Am I missing a peace to streamline it? Can I stop it from showing the "new update" notification because I sure don't want to use 2.2
would have posted this to the Rom thread but I don't have the permission due to being new. Thanks for any input!
alec
Go to settings -> personalize -> skin and "reuse" the HTC Skin. (second entry in the personalize settings)
That fixed the problem for me, now it's not that buggy anymore.
Maybe you also want to clear the cache/app data from the Venom Tweaks/HUB Apps in the settings if you still have some bugs, that could also help. (settings -> apps -> all apps (tabs on the bottom, last one) -> Venom Tweaks -> clear data & clear cache)
If you would have searched in the main thread of the ROM you would have found this solution For example in this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=39160456&postcount=4239
(I also searched some time to get the solution but as you see I found one)
Yeah I tried all those fixes with no luck, I'm a programmer so I have no problem digging around in the system. I rolled back the Rom and its back to running smith, looks like I'll just have to wait tell the next update and hope its solved.
Thanks for the input though

Install with ODIN 3.0.7
Thanks to Crackerpie for the Upload to hotfile and to Samsung for making the firmware but make sure to Wipe Data, Cache, Dalvik Cache Prior to using the ODIN Tool to Avoid Bootloop
Prerequisites
Make a Full backup of your Data before attempting
Make Sure you have at least 50% Battery
Make Sure you have a Good Condition USB Cable
If Flashing From a Official ROM like the AT&T ICS
If you coming from a Custom Rom (ie CM10.1/AOKP/Embryo) it's best practice to Wipe Data/Factory Reset, Wipe Cache, Wipe Dalvik Cache to avoid bootloop
How to Install:
1. Download and unzip the file
2. Download and unzip ODIN
3. Turn Off the device and go to download by pressing and hold volume down + home button and the press the power button until the boot screen shows up.
4. Open Odin and connect your phone with your computer, it should be in download mode when you connect it with odin
5. Once your device is successfully connect of the odin port will go blue.
6. Click on ‘PDA’ and select file KIES_HOME_I727UCMC1_I727ATTMC1_844945_REV02_user_low_ship.tar
7. In Odin select ‘Auto Reboot' and 'Reset Time', Make sure no other boxes are checked
8. Now click the start button in Odin and let the installation process to start.
9. After installation is complete, your phone will restart when you see this unplug the phone from PC
In the Event you get a Bootloop After Flashing
1. Pull the Battery
2. Hold down Power and Both Volume Buttons to get into the stock recovery that was flashed with the Rom
3. Wipe Data/Factory Reset 3 Times, Wipe Cache 3 Times, and Wipe Dalvik Cache 3 Times and Reboot and it will work, it takes the Rom about 5-10 Mins to Settle after being installed so be patient.
To Root This Rom:
1. Download the latest TWRP Recovery Tar here
2. Open ODIN and click PDA and select the TWRP Tar and flash it
3. Download the latest SuperSU 1.25 From here
4. And Flash in TWRP and Boom your Rooted
Once you use Titanium Backup on it it's not a bad Rom but a I know once Mohan has a release it will really start to kick ass for someome who want's a stock based rom
Don't forget the bloat and spyware included.

Just installed and running great. Very smooth and very fast. Liking it a lot. Only issue obviously is all the AT&T bloat. Getting good speeds on the new radio, too! Thanks again, forrest!!

Yes but you can regain root by following these instructions
To Root This Rom
Download the latest TWRP Recovery Tar here
Open ODIN and click PDA and select the TWRP Tar and flash it
Download the latest SuperSU 1.25 From here
And Flash in TWRP and Boom your Rooted
Also don't forget the darn CIQ that att loves to put on their crap software

Call quality is great. Running very well so far with no hickups. I'm surprised how smooth it is even with all the AT&T BS on it. Battery life seems pretty solid far. New radio is good, UCLL3 was a bit faster in terms of data speeds but regarding call quality this radio is great, probably the best. Thanks again, forrest.
Sorry For Noobness But Does this Have the Multiwindow feature also?

No, the multiwindow feature isn't on it.

Our screen is too small to make use of it anyways. It's pointless just like on screen nav buttons.

Impressions
Coming from Slimbean, here are my thoughts for those that haven't flashed yet:
-Lock screen functionality is missing (used to be able to swipe in different directions in the circle to launch different apps. There are shortcuts on the lock screen, but they dont' look nice. I installed widgetlocker to regain this functionality.
-The pop-up video feature is awesome. I usually use netflix, but if I put some videos on my phone, as a multitasker, it's very cool to be able to have them playing while I do other things on my phone
-I miss how everything was smaller in slimbean. Icons and the items in the notification bar are larger, so everything looks oversized.
-You can't remove items from the pull-down toggles and it takes up a lot of space (namely, brightness which even if you leave on auto, you have to look at every time you pull down the notification bar)
-The calendar is better. You can see events on the month view without drilling down into each day
-Can't customize the power menu. Although profiles weren't working in slimbean, they appear to have been removed altogether from the stock JB
That's all for now. It's not worth going back to slimbean at this point, since it's a stable rom and slimbean would at times crash. However, i do miss the smaller sizes of the notification icons and the ability to fully customize the toggles and the lock screen without 3rd party apps.

Thank you for the info! I'm on Embryo 5.4 at the moment (after flashing pretty much everything that moves for the skyrocket and finding that ICS is the most stable platform for my uses so far) I liked the stock UCLF6 but enjoy the extra customizations embryo gives me (plus the OC'ing)
I think I'll NAND and give this a whirl and see if I can get my ~500M free ram environment that I'm enjoying so much
I can't wait to see what comes out based on this release... Thank God the SkyRocket isn't a dev deadend!
What is the DPI setting for this rom? The default 240?
Thanks again for the info
You could root, change dpi, and flash a multi dpi play store to get your small fonts back.

Note that if you change the DPI, you'd also have to change the default launcher, as TouchWiz does NOT play well at all with DPI changes. You will get a ton of unusable space (last time I tried, anyway).
Stuck on bootloop
I downloaded the file and went through odin and when it got done with andy and the status bar it booted up but it is stuck on the AT&T globe. I made sure the file was finished writing from odin when I unplugged my phone.
WTF is wrong here? I even went back and tried to reload ICS through odin but it is stuck there also. I did not install the recovery for it yet for JB. Is that something I should try and clear everything out and try again?
Your help is appreciated, and thanks.
