KKD_MODv4G(FULL)
!!!UPDATE3!!!
(6/1)This is Darchs newest updated rom, plus the stuff i like to roll with. Darch battery fix and vvm are already built in. This is the GOOGLE version, meaning gbits are built in as well. For screens look below. Ive changed nothing visually so no new screenies.
DOWNLOAD KKD_MODv4G(FULL)
(old)Ive been exp battery issues after a days use, and im trying to narrow down the problem...Im working on an update with the new rom and fixes because i would like to run this but i need my battery life too like my DamageRs.....I modded them to have awesome battery, but the same mods on an aosp dont have the same effect, same with my opengl hacks....IM WORKING ON THE UPDATE, bear with me, im only making it better
After taking all of the comments from last nite into consideration, and staying up all nite to finish, I updated the mod with a new launcher, i modded the helix, made two more fonts for the two ver. KKD_MODv3.2G and KKD_MODv3.2lite I fixed EVERYTHING i had comments on....Also i added 5 fonts in update.zip form for anyone in case they dont like what they see....
Ive fallen into a bad habit where i CANNOT flash a rom w/o modding it to my liking......So this is a beta v. MOD of darch's latest and greatest...I HAD to try it. Made me jump Damage Ship for a sec. Still testing, but afict everything is working nicely. Im touching it up now and ill put up the beta in a bit....This is not a beta to me, but ill wait till i get a little feedback to polish it.
This rom has EVERYTHING In DarchDroid + some of XTRA goodies we can ALL use. This is the rom i made for myself, i NEVER used the original.....Im happy to share with you my modded ver. of DarkDroid. I call it DarchKingKang(had to do it).....DDK.v2 for short....
DARCH HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH WHAT I DID TO HIS ROM, SORRY IF I OFFENDED YOU IN ANY WAY, JUST TRYING TO GIVE PPL ONE MORE CHOICE
INSIDE
AKA Reasons to check this particular mod out
+Swype/Android KB Hybrid
+I modded my 1st launcher...other than rosie xD
+Andvanced launcher
+ADW as an update zip case you prefer it...
+DDMS was crying about openGL so i added some of my fixes
+Overclock Widget
+Astro
+Opera
+Glass jogbars and launcher(man i love fireworks)
+MT3G Music
+modded music apk i took from/aka kanged a cyan rom
+BatteryMonitorWidget
+SysTrayMonitor
+wi-fi tether
+UltimateFaves
+Quick Boot
+VVM
+A bunch more stuff i forgot.......
Darch kept this rom so small that even with my utilities/added apks its still less than 70mb!!!!We have darch to thank for the original rom that i based this mod on..... I dont want to offend darch or anyone that loves his work, this is merely what i did before i flashed this rom onto my OWN hero.....I wanted to keep this lite since it is a minimalist rom and i only added utilities that everyone here would utilize....
I got some screenies too.....
PLEASE DONT FREAK OUT YOU DONT GET THE FONT IN THE SCREENIES
Have no fear, that font was just for my v1 of this rom..... im looking for something sweet for everyone else,and as always stock font will be available for dl right below the rom.....
BETA SCREENS
KKD_MODv3.2
Thank Darch for his stellar work PLEASE
Thank Shoebox for Swype/Android Beta KB i FOUND & ported
Thank ME for CHOPPING/CUTTING/GUTTING/COPYING/PASTING/KANGING......well, you get the idea...
AND LASTLY,NO WHINING,FLAMING,OR NEGATIVITY PLEASE, THIS IS A HOBBY AND SOMTHING I DO FOR FUN, IF YOU CAN DO BETTER, IDC,GO DO IT

Looks really nice but im not fond of the fonts, they look all cut off.
I agree you do good work, but your fonts completely turn me away from trying every one of your ROMS...
Looks cool, I'll give it a flash when you put it up.
TBH though, I hate the stock white notification bar from AOSP builds.. looks especially goofy to me with roms like this where everything else is themed darker

Everyone put on your kiddie gloves for markus. Dude, I don't really think he was bashing. He basically said he doesn't like the fonts he chooses. Big deal. He said he likes his work. You don't like the fonts, right? Stop bashing.

I wasn't bashing anybody and i agree the fonts are pretty bad but the theme otherwise looks good. I just said you guys could always install your own fonts.
does this still have the battery drain issue?
Wow those fonts would give me a headache but outside of that great job, always glad to see more roms around the forums! I'll give it a shot.
nice work. Will flash when you get link up. In the mean time I will be looking for a better font.

Sorry about that but its your loss.... If youd looked into what i do youd see i include the stock font with any of my mods because few ppl like mine, and i explained the pictured font in the op...You should really try one and flash one of my update zip stock fonts.....You shouldnt let font stop you from flashing ANY rom, you might miss something really sweet. I have ppl that hate red but ran my red theme till i up'd somthing new because they appreciate what i do.....Sorry youd let a update.zip for stock font stop you from trying something new...Not really looking for fans anyway, just maybe a few ppl that enjoy my mods as much as i do, and i achieved that goal a LONG time ago, without about 98% of cdma hero not looking twice @ what i do, so im used to it and idrc.

Sorry you dont like my app drawer launcher, i learned how to make glass effects so i made that reflection at the top to accent the taskbar, and made the app drawer launcher indicators green to match the system highlites, and lastly i made the button presses on the swype/android hybrid kb orange to match the search bar highlight...... LOOK CLOSER...It matches and IT IS themed...if i couldnt match colors and shapes thered be no point in themeing..Also, i looked for soooo long to find statusbar_backround, and its not the same part in this rom so i couldnt change it. I really wanted to make it just like the launcher drawer originally... All the ideas are very good, but its much. harder to make them materialze.....its easy to say this stuff after you see it.... but i took the time to MAKE it....Thanks for being honest....im sure you can appreciate my honesty as well...

7 comments; 1 compliment, 1 person keeping the peace, and 5 complaints......I remember a while ago i talked to damage and he was *****ing us out for ragging on DC and what needed to be [email protected] first i thought he was a ****, but ive slowly come to understand him over time.....he was never a ****, i just had NO IDEA where he was coming from.....Itd be a little more helpful if instead of telling me what you dont like, how bout telling what you do like and put it up for me to use so i can make my stuff more accepted by you......Thats EXACTLY what id do, so i dont think its very far fetched to expect it here on a development site...negativity and complaints are soo easy to put out there, but compliments, constructive criticism, and offering a logical solution dont seem to be the common choice around here.....Sorry if anyone finds this a bit harsh, do not take offense. I have been working on this since yesturday to get it up here so ppl can have a modded aosp if they wish, and it seems that all my work is wasted because of something as simple to change as font, is not well liked......I would think anyone following the developement sub forum would know how to change font, or flash an update.zip containing it.....Whats that old saying?? YOU CANT PLEASE EVERYONE??? yep, im thinking that one all the time
Loving the new rom. Thanks for all the time and effort you and all the other devs put into building these. I am ready to DL as soon as the link is up. I wish I had the talent, skill and time to build one myself.
I enjoy your work.. I'm looking forward to trying it out as soon at the DL link drops..

No I understand, I've tried doing themes but with two kids it's hard to find the time anymore. I've just personally never liked the look of just the white notification bar, I prefer the Sense black style our Hero's came out of the box until we flashed them to hell and back. The launcher looks good and I get where your coming from to match the launcher to the taskbar. Overall it looks good, and unlike a lot of the other ones I like that font alot and want to try it. If anything it looks like it could stand to be smaller, but again, that's more of an Android issue considering the system resizes the base fonts for the different parts of it and the stylized fonts must be larger to give it the style.
Don't mind the complaints, there's always a place for any sort of theme or rom you can come up with. If anything maybe do a screencap with the stock font at the top of the post for comparison (and since you do provide it as well), then do the rest with the font you want to do. I think that would help with the font complaints.
Thanks for the hard work..now we just need a link
nice work might give it a go

hello everyone. heres another one of those crazy things i do here. this time i built on damage so i could use dconfig again. I had the idea to put this together when i saw koni's transparent mod,then the aosp zip and burst's theme. This is mish mash of all of that work+ some of what i do. since its built on damage and the biggest add on to theme was burst's theme. But while i was ripping them apart i realized that the aosp theme was basically using the same framework as burst with a few tweaks. Then got it to boot. I did have some serious issues with the kbs and the notifier but i learned what i was doing and fixed it then decided to post...Didnt take as long to finish this(about a day), because i didnt do ALL the themeing. I just found it and mixed it all together with some of my own tweaks added in both visually and performance wise.
HERES WHY YOU SHOULD FLASH:
1 CUSTOM BOOT
1 CUSTOM HTC KB (THEMED GREEN)
1 LATIN_IME MT KB FROM DROID_X
1 HTC_IME MOD
4 INTERACTIVE LWP FROM...(sorry i forget what device)
1 INVISABLE taskbar by KONIKUB
1 THEMED HTC clock widget(by me)
1 THEMED rosie(by me)
INCLUDED APPS
adw. its my fave and most stable imo
andro for file browsing and app backup
dconfig for tweaking(thank treve)
updater for new roms and themes ota
sys tray (to monitor ram)
battery widget (to monitor battery%)
titanium backup
left the sprint apps for once....
sorry all, i forgot to toss the nextel tikl in(ill toss up an update.zip with it)
i didnt throw in all the extra crap this time so this rom is a normal size(170mb)
screens
NOTE: THIS THREAD IS FOR IMPROVEMENT AND FEEDBACK ON THIS ROM TO HELP MAKE IT BETTER. IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO POST MAKE SURE YOU FLASH IT FIRST. THIS IS AN ATTEMPT BY ME TO KEEP THE THREAD ON TOPIC AND USEFUL TO THOSE THAT CHOOSE TO USE THIS MOD. IF YOU DIDNT FLASH IT WHAT KIND OF HELP COULD YOU POSSIBLY OFFER IN THE WAY OF IMPROVEMENT?

That's unfortunate. I love the look of the ROM otherwise.
Sorry to be the debbie downer but I think it looks garbage. :/ A bunch of poorly done photoshop filters slapped into a single rom. Different strokes for different folks I suppose.
i must say this looks better than the previous RED theme.
so do I flash this by itself? or do I flash it over DamageControl's ROM??
Damn..this is nice and fast. The customizations is great. Nice job!
Do you know where I can get the HTC News Widget? I don't see it in here.
Thanks
i flashed this and the screen does not look like those pictures on post one. the taskbar is white with white fonts so the time is invisible.

if anything you should be downloading the rom and then ripping it apart and learning how to do what i do. Then MAYBE ill have a little respect for your opinion and what you have to say about me or my work.I am not a dev nor to i claim to be.it is your choice to choose this rom. so what was your reason?
your right; those 1000+photos did take me some time to filter EACH INDIVIDUAL FILE,then integrate the two themes and add konis transparent taskbar(took me a bit) then make it all boot. ive not had bootloop with neither of my mods so far on evo.had it all the time on cdma hero
thank you for your opinion and keeping on topic.but did you flash the rom? as the op states; its a prerequisite to posting in this thread. If not please follow the rules or dont post. Thanks

I hope not cus thats version 1 or 2 and i didnt ul either of those betas. ill double check the link and upload my personal that i just flashed 8hrs ago. So far it performs well w/o configuring dconfig. im on 70% battery after heavy use.not sure if thats good or bad. Its acceptable to me, but not remarkable like damager.FYI
Had a lot of problems, lots pf FCs and random system restarts.....
i havent had any fc's yet. please list your procedure so i can see what the problem is. i test everything extensively before i put it up for others. that would be very bad if i put up roms before i got them working then told pps i support them...
By any chance have you had luck with flash in the browsers? I'm currently using your finisher rom but would love to switch to this one, however if the flash issues still stand I'll try a different one for the mean time. Looks great BTW.

wasnt sure if i was just crazy, but i posted this in my finisher thread as a bug i found 3days after running it. When i went use a site that needed full flash(shockwave) adobe test said my sware was 10.blablabla and that it installed correctly. well i used my site and tried to use a java music player and when it goes to play, browser dissappears (no fc just gone) It worked fine before, but i thought maybe i was mistaken. no one responded so i figured it was just a problem for me. I NEVER edited anything with the wlan-ko, the browser or anything internet releated, so i cant narrow down the problem. Also, this is a damage based so not sure whats going on with this issue. if i find anything ill definately pm you. if you hear anything ill ask you do the same. thanks.

AND, if anything...with the attitude you have towards development, why don't I see instructing threads from you?

did you flash the rom? if not please refer to ops. i am not a dev,instructor,or teacher. i am a tinkerer that ul's his roms so that anyone else like himself can have the same. I personally dont care if you ever read another word i type. cant really understand why you think your voice or opinion is SO valuable, or why you are any different from any of the other 20million haters out there. I cant see the "mod" title under your user name, so im pretty sure im completely safe in completely ignoring any outlandish,whiny requests you may have. Did the site just become facist overnite and maybe i missed something?Obivously my threads are riddled with the fonts you speak of so why bother to read them or post off topic comments that do not follow the ops in them? also, i do not encourage YOU or anyone else to keep their opinions to themselves. i welcome adversity. i can tell however, that you do not, since something simple as font/color which is our tool to use freely is able to prejudice you toward me or what i do here. it lets me see immediately how closed minded you are, and obviously would not like my work(it goes w/o saying that what i do is not for the normal crowd_more well received by the out of the box style of thinkers), so its no surprise that you would come to another haters defense.no loss to me boss.keep up the good fight, keep discouraging developers on the largest android dev site......glad im not a dev or i might be a bit offended by your words...if you want to whine more just pm me. this is a thread for rom related issues and developement as stated in the op in LARGE COLORED FONT, not the why i dont agree with the ops decision of fonts/sizes thread....WHY not go post in a thread where you LIKE the work? just another one of those crazy thoughts i have, just like those CRAYYYYYYZY FONTS.......Why hate on me? does it pay THAT well?
SOMETHING tells me that you dont get invited to a whole lot of parties.....ID be mad too.(is this color a little better for you?)
Guys,
I cleaned up the thread. Please stay on topic. Thank you.
Yes, I know there are apps and widgets that can do this, however, Seeing as I've never coded them in before, is there a guide that shows me what to look for anywhere? I've searched to hell and back, and nothing.
These will be going into Bionix2 so would like to learn how to do these.

That doesn't really answer your question though, sorry
Could have sworn untermensch wrote up a guide for lockscreens to go with his power menu guide, but can't find it. All I can suggest is to download one of his lockscreen mods, then download the stock rom it was based on, decompile both and make comparisons.

+1 for widgetlocker.
I picked it up a couple days ago and like it quite a bit. It isn't free but I feel it is one of a few apps worth paying for. My goal was to put a battery indicator on the lock screen so I didn't have to unlock the phone to check the battery. You can do that and so much more. It does not add a lock screen so you have to unlock the phone twice like some of the free ones did either. It just works.
It sounds like you may want to code your own app? I would try to contact the devs of some of the better lock screens out there and see if you can get some help.
I have a couple of old bookmarks back when s0niqu3 and untermensch were trying to get the Fascinate lockscreen on the Vibrant. Can't post links but maybe one of these will point you in the right direction

I don't want to come out as needy and disrespectful. This is just a request.
Can anyone creat a custome ROM that is as close to stock as possible?
With a few exceptions. Of course remove all the bloat ware, creat a new status bar by removing the t-mobile logo that waists space and the previously used apps (we all know how to hold the home button), and lastly make a numeric battery. Try not to use the circle batterys but stay as close to the original as possible.
Ooh as well fix sence 3.0 and have lockscreen icons.
Also I do use the caller I'd feature T-Mobile provides I don't want $4 down the drain so.please keep that function.
Sent from my mt4gs
patience, young jedi... I'm sure someone will come out with something soon. I'd like exactly what you're asking for, too!
if I ever get some free time (not likely in the next 2 weeks) I will start cooking up some roms for us. I'm in the middle of a big transition right now and just haven't had time to sit down and start tearing roms apart. -____-
op: have you checked out the UOT kitchen? you can accomplish most of the status bar and battery tweaks you want through it.
the bloatware I would just uninstall with TiBu or any other program capable of uninstalling system apps.
the sense 3.0 lockscreen... not too sure. I've always been an aosp guy so I haven't spent much time modding sense.
Im in the same boat as queen I have something in the works also soone as I finish this rom for my epic !
Sent from my myTouch_4G_Slide using XDA Premium App
No rush guys this phone isn't going anywhere. I would love to learn how to cook. I need to get over the big learning curve. The only reasone I ask is because there are specific files I don't know if are usefull or not. Like for example the new caller id feature I don't know witch files are associated with it. I do freeze as much as I can in tibp but I feel like its still slowing the phone down or taking up space. I've been a windows user a long long time and feel like when you uninstall something it's not the same as having a clean install. I can't get over that mindset. BTW thanks for the quick responce.

Those two changes require a framework hack, which requires another hack in services to disable signature verification. I've always wanted to remove those damn "Recent Apps" from the status bar, but only recently learned how to disable signature verification for when the framework is modified.
We have some amazing devs I'm sure sence 3.0 framework will be easly modified. Although I'm sure you can change the status bar without framwork mods like they did on the MyTouch 4g. Unless I'm wrong. Also thanks for revolution.

I don't want to come out as needy and disrespectful. This is just a request.
Can anyone creat a custome ROM that is as close to stock as possible?
With a few exceptions. Of course remove all the bloat ware, creat a new status bar by removing the t-mobile logo that waists space and the previously used apps (we all know how to hold the home button), and lastly make a numeric battery. Try not to use the circle batterys but stay as close to the original as possible.
Ooh as well fix sence 3.0 and have lockscreen icons.
Also I do use the caller I'd feature T-Mobile provides I don't want $4 down the drain so.please keep that function.

Until ROMs start coming out, use titanium backup to uninstall any of the bloatware you don't want. I uninstalled just about every app on my phone, and installed better versions of the ones I wanted, and in one case I uninstalled a stock app, then downloaded the same app from the market.
After getting rid of all the bloatware I noticed drastic battery life improvement, so I started looking at other things that were always running in the background, two of them were the preinstalled note pad app and Google Maps. I would stop them, and they would be back running in a matter of moments. I uninstalled both of them, downloaded Google Maps and ColorNote. For some reason, Maps is never running in the background any more. Not sure why that worked, but it did.
Well as I said in the post before I'm using the freeze function for now so I don't ruin anything. It goes into why I don't like doing that.

Means you have to copy SystemUI.apk to your computer, decompile it, re-write part of the code, re-compile it back into an .apk, then install it on the phone.
One of those "easier said then done" things, but not terribly difficult if you read through the thread and take the time to install the tools you need to your computer.
I'm intrigued by this, but there are other things on my list for this phone before I get around to something like this.
Is it just me or is the mt4gs forum dead? I know its the summer and all but wow. Not an attemp at anything. I'm not talking about custome roms. I'm talking about everything.

Yeah it's awful. I'm at work all day refreshing for new content, and I'm left disappointed about 90% of the time. I need something to flash!!!
I've actually just decided to try recruiting devs from the Sensation forum. Given the similarity between the devices, I'm hoping that it wouldn't be too difficult for someone out there to help us out...

I wasn't expecting much dev support here in the beginning. I think ports will start showing up slowly but don't expect it to be anything like the Sensation subforum.
it's a shame because this is a killer device that can run anything thrown at it. with some patience and luck we'll get some devs who are interested in creating things for the slide... maybe from the G2 section once more people start changing over.
at least there's really nothing function-wise on the stock rom that makes it unusable for me. once the bloat is gone and ADW ex (or whatever home replacement you like) is loaded, it's pretty much all I need.. some aosp love would sure be nice though for me.
Yea, but it's a new device...and an expensive one so a lot of people don't have one yet.
For early adopters it's hard sometimes, my approach has just been to try to document everything as thoroughly as possible so that when devs do come, they have less work to do.
Of course, the best way to get something done is to do it yourself - i'd like to make my own ROM for this device, but i'm a long way from that. It'll happen, but i'm pretty positive that by the time I get it all figured out Cyanogenmod will have been ported to this device.
Still won't stop me from doing it though, i'm too curious.
Meantime, posting up everything we can learn about the phone will help in getting a custom ROM when a dev willing to do so comes through here.
I was wondering the same thing. I'm coming from the HD2 and the Galaxy St Vibrant so anyone who knows those phones understands.... I was thinking this forum would be a little more lively.
I've gone from refreshing a lot to refreshing once a day.

Yeah. Totaly. Look at the phones I've owned in the signature. I remember going back to the razer the forums were packed with hex mods and java games. Maybe not this specific one. Still this is the biggest mt4gs forum.
Someone above noted that the phone is new and expensive. That is definitely a factor. Also, from what I saw, T-Mobile didn't really market this phone heavily before it came out. Right at the launch I saw a good amount of ads but not long before. Like the SGS2 has gotten real advertising saturation. This phone is a real contender but because it doesn't have a huge screen it received, and continues to receive, less attention.
Things will pick up but at this point I have prepared myself for a wait. Devs will eventually get the word on how good it is and then things will pick up but it will take some time. For me, the hardware we have is worth the wait.
I did have a thought. Find out if there are devs working on this phone. If not, we could look at collectively getting a phone to a dev that could get it moving.

Hello everyone,( oh and please move this if there is a more appropriate location for my questions) I have recently gotten into romming due to the just... eww of the stock tmobile t679's well... everything...
what am I running now? I was swapping around a few different roms and have settled down on two I like pretty well which are pacman for jellybean 4.2 and baked blackbean 4.2. At this exact moment I'm on the baked. I have a couple questions about some customizations I'd like to do (basically have done for me so I can just apply them as I am not really talented in the ways of photo manipulation) and one question about hardware buttons.
Starting with the hardware buttons, the one thing I miss from the stock rom is the "touch light duration" feature, as being on a samsung with hardware touch buttons I have come to enjoy leaving the lights on as long as my screen is active. Is there still a way to do this? on ANY rom, or could there be some work around? I really don't like the soft button idea as they take up too much of my screen. (yes I have tried it) Please and thank you for any advice on that front.
Now on to the fun and colorful part. I very much enjoy the cm10 bootanimation and I've seen a couple images of it in other colors. What I would like, if someone was so awesome as to put it together for me a custom color changing version with my name in the middle. I can pull up the image with the colors I like if anyone decides to tackle this. (I know how to apply the new bootanimation, just need it made)
The other thing I would like to change is my boot splash, not that I don't love what the custom rommers out there have made for all of us to enjoy, but the team insomnia logo just isn't my cup of tea. I would love something a bit more... purple and girly. Again I have an image in mind if anyone wants to make it into an easily flashable or otherwise installable format. I have no idea how to do this one.
Please and thank you for anyone who can help me out =)

well one person's stock trash is another one's stock treasure =p as far as the buttons go, I was on cm and I didn't find an option for it, but I still could have missed it and it was staring right at me. Thanks for the reply

yeah I think I was on higher than 10.1 and that was the problem, anyway yes please if you feel like making me a boot animation =)
PM me for details as I cannot post links just yet
I just went back and tried 10.1 again and still don't see a way to change button light duration. Oh well, I have the stuff I want for my bootanimation on my fb already as well as what I'd like for a bootsplash image, so send me a message and I'll link you up. =)
