[ROM]Damaged_BURST.v3.FINAL

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.

Holy moly!!!

hey awesome rom. I was wondering if you could put all the wallpapers you use in a .zip file? That would be awesome for us to download. THanks for the hard work!

Does the 3VO appear over the phone like in the screenshots? If it doesn't, I'm all over this.

I'm pretty sure it does, it slides corresponding to the screen you swipe to.

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.

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?

[THEME/MODPACK]1st FROYO THEME WITH VIDEO & PIC

NOTE: i have posted this in themes and here so that those that are/were not aware of how to utilize video on froyo would have better chances of seeing it or those that didnt want to check out froyo for the no vid or buggy cam issue. This is also a tut on how to get it working for you. I think this should be posted in dev and theme since it qualifies as both.
​
[THEME/MOD]PROTO-G_v.1
I began work on this and it is exclusive to a specific froyo rom atm. I am working on 2more things right now and i need some feedback towards what to add to this setup, and when i get enough changes/added mods and/or edits, i can then release another PUBLIC version in update.zip form. Its not just a skin though, this is what i did so that i could test a froyo rom. So this is the EXACT mod im running right now. I will be editing two more items shortly. I will be optimizing and zipaligning the app and framework folders since i just found a sweet new script.
PROTO_G PICS
instructions: !!NANDROID ALWAYS!!
(only tested on froyo by myself)
1.flash avalaunch or hero over's froyo+sense
2.reboot
3.reboot recovery
4.flash framework zip
5.reboot
6.reboot recovery
7.flash htc zip of your choice(F!n!$h3R,Baked,FROYO 2.2 and stock)
8.reboot,enjoy
DOWNLOADS:
PICK 1 HTC.PROTO_G.ZIP of YOUR choice(will be adding in stock)
(the only difference is the lettering on the mainnav scroller)
DOWNLOAD FROYO 2.2 VERSION
DOWNLOAD F!n!$h3R VERSION
DOWNLOAD BAKED VERSION
NEXT:
DOWNLOAD FRAMEWORK.PROTO_G.zip
THEN:
REBOOT,ENJOY
The reason there are two files rather than just one or added to a rom is because they do not work together and it will not work that way for me. I am working on it. I will update it as soon as i figure it out.
NOW TO ENABLE VIDEO
1.OPEN new qik i installed version 0.04.05
2.select menu/camera/front
3.press red button to capture video
​

Nice work. Thanks for sharing!
Just a little constructive criticism if I may--- Re-examine the lock screen. The clock/text doesn't fit the "lock bar" and the white text is lost in background.

Great work, BUT I'd reconsider such heavy theme modding, it's a nice ROM, but the look is completely a dealbreaker. That's just me anyway, maybe other people will like it.

This is just how i do it. I know i cannot please everyone, and i do not do this to become known or make $. its a hobby and a learning process. im merely sharing the fruits of my labor/learning, with those that care to give it a shot/appreciate the art. This is also a tut for froyo with video for those that wanted to try froyo but did not because of no camcorder capabilities, and not just a theme but a mod pack that includes many very useful utilities to monitor,maintain and control you system to squeeze the most productivity out of your awesome evo.

No one will ever claim your themes are boring. It's very... embossed. It kind of reminds me of what you see if you jam your fingers into your eyes, but in a good way.
Ever think of turning these skills towards something more bland?

froyo with cam and camcorder and they are not buggy. i included a tut on how to set it up. its very simple. its froyo, themed, with cam and vid. cam and vid are achieved thru FRONT cam. im not even sure of the res(idrc what it is, it does what i need it to do, and i NEED a quality cam cus i have an 8mo old to take pics and vid of) for that cam, but the pics and vid are awesome with the tut i included in the op. nandroid and give it a shot. i guarantee you wont be dissapointed that you did.

Gotta say, your themes are like the Type R stickers and autozone stick-on vents of the Android development scene. There's a market segment for them and you put a lot of work into them, sure (and I imagine you get a lot of downloads) but damn if they aren't embarrassing to a large portion of the community. Your skill at theming is impressive but your lack of taste at making something aesthetically pleasing is abhorrent.

Perfectly phrased, thank you. You're editing png files, dude, not engineering kernels. Pray that no real developer ever hacks in support for animated png files, then we'll have the theme equivalent of his signature.

I suppose i can appreciate the time you put into doing all this for some sort of niche market that appears in some places, but i have to say, as a person with a design background and an interest in the subject, your themes are absolutely terrible to look at. They do not flow, they do not look good, they are simply some batman and robin font pack you found online and whatever photoshop filter you happened to click. I guess it's good if your goal is to differentiate yourself from every other theme as much as possible, but i think you went to wrong way down the road. And as said previously, all your work is obnoxious (sig included) and I hate you for assaulting my eyes with what can only be described as melted rainbow vomit with a futuristic font from the past.
Also, what you do does not require skill. You edit image files.
please stop.

This THEME ROCKS! Can you make the font bigger?

Magnus,
On your phone the sig may look fine, but on my monitor, currently set at 1680x1050.
This is what your sig looks like on my screen.
It takes up over half of my screen.
http://www.webpagescreenshot.info/img/659156-7162010113421AM
That is a full page screenshot, as you can see the image is more than half of the screen real estate.

You know....
With your liking toward comical colored fonts, colors, and overall taste, you should really aim at making some anime theme'd UI's.

um back on topic.. so this rom is just 2.1 froyo theme not real froyo with working cam?

[REQUEST] BeatPad/Sample Pad app.

I have been searching around for something like this but the best I could find is this archaic abandoned app called beatmaker but I can't link to it. I know it exists in the Google Code database. It's not a bad start though I'm looking for an app like that but hopefully with some more advanced features like what's found a device such as the Boss Dr. Sample. (I can't link to show what I'm talking about, just look up the SP-202, I still own one of those.). I'd be very willing to beta test this and I am now producing music on my MotoXoom using Caustic 2 and would like to have something more interactive to use than just the sequencer in Caustic. I would be using my Samsung GTab with ICS on it (AOKP CM9 build7) as my primary test device.

Have you tried "Su-preme MPA"?, it's more like an AKAI sampler but might be what you're looking for. I agree my app is not meant for this kind of live performance.

Yeah, what I'm looking for is something that is directly interactive with the samples. I'm giving SU-preme MPA Lite a try. The price for the full version seems kind of steep but I don't even know if it's worth it for me. Thanks for the app suggestion.
P.S. HEY! I'm a huge fan of Caustic! Been working with with it for over a week now trying to work on new material since I got my MotoXoom. And I'm far from saying your app is not meant for live performance. I truly believe I can use it when I get to the live performance aspect of my music. It'd be a great sequencer for songs. I hope to see you improve upon it, especially with tempo changes.

Survey says: Ideal ROM should have...

...what?
I noticed that it generally is a request randomly for this feature or that option, or requests within dev threads themselves or random threads entirely (off topic type 'wouldn't this be cool!')
So what would be cool?
What's on the wish list?
For me i'd love to experience two things:
USB OTG. My S3 broke it for me. Not having it at all was fine, but after integrating that function so fully into my Android life being without it is ...beyond words.
Second thing i'd like is to have the tv-out be an additional display instead of a mirrored display. Plugging into a bigger screen is absolutely awesome - but sometimes it would be nice to have the option of increasing my digital work space instead of just seeing it bigger.
...so not exactly easy things to start us off with, but anything goes.
What do you guys want out of your ROMs?
Maybe this can help inspire devs to include popular ideas by moving the suggestions to a neutral place instead of having to search the whole doubleshot forum for random ideas. Maybe become a good place for someone to cruise by looking for something to do.
What do we like?

great idea to post this thread!
im not one in need of too much, but i do like options. i remember when ezterry came up with the yes no binary script to attach to roms/updates i was amazed we could run code during an update that takes over the screen and user input. it took like two years for someone to polish it up and make the aroma installer, now i find that to be a must in roms. being able to adjust so much prior to even installing a rom is amazing to me still.
so yeah, i look for what most else do, stable, good battery life, speed, nice camera, better than stock. so the only thing i would add to the list everyone else has is make a rom as customizable as possible!

Cm9.1 states in OP USB on the go works on experimental kernel

I would LOVE to see a rom with all of the senses. (A lot of data) or at least 3 sense versions. (Still alot) update with the other HTC sense devices. HTC one series of course, 100%. That's it. It doesn't sound like much but even regular HTC device don't have more than 1 sense version on it so. Yea. That's a request highly impossible. But u never know. We have top notch devs over here

OTG would indeed be great.
I also like as many settings as possible--particularly colors and visual stuff. My old G1 had a CM rom that had options for every color and font used, I think, and it was great. You could change the sensitivity of the trackball and all that kind of detail stuff. That level of control is fantastic, and I'd love to have it back.

For me just additional tweaks to the sense 4 ROMs and a full fix for the wifi hotspot is very enough for me

Full backwards compatibility with all apps.
Stable overclock.
The full use of the DS camera.

A rocket pack like Sean Connery uses in Thunderball.
That and a shark with frickin' laser beams coming out of its head.
What would be truly epic is if the laser shark was flying the rocket pack.
DON'T TRY THIS AT HOME!
Or maybe JB with stable fast and fully functional interface and a camera that is identical to or better than the stock ds camera.
Might have better luck asking for the flying shark..
Hastily spouted for your befuddlement

like some people said above, i feel like for a lot of people, being able to use the full power of this phone's camera is a big thing. and i guess better battery life?

I'll see your humor, and raise to an idea:

There is work being done into using Android in robotics. Also, at cheap retail you can get a remote controlled helicopter with app support for flight control.
We are devs here, so having that app interaction with the remote controlled device is a springboard to what we actually need.
So the helicopter bit gives us the interaction with the device, and the flight aspect with a solid base to build on for what we need.
We can definitely get a laser from overseas that will cut things, in a portable package like a laser pointer.
I'm sure we could build something in the shape of a shark. I'm thinking we can disassemble a doubleshot and use the tv-out function to mirror the screens, then use two for the eyes. (else write a custom home screen that splits in two with a small gap between on the screen, and fit into the shark head behind where the eyes would be.)
Then the processsor and stuff would be where the brain was, and you could install the keyboard to the top or back of the head. Retain the slide mechanism, and you could have it push button slide out of the mouth or something.
So our roadblocks now:
-Shark mold. Still yet to be determined in size based on some requirements:
-Amphibious. It's a shark, right? We need to look into remote control boats and subs to see how to do this.
-Maybe mount a second laser...
Coug76 said:
... a shark with frickin' laser beams coming out of its head...
Click to expand...

...since it was pluralized.
-Some way of targeting the lasers. I'd like to add some manner of aiming, so it needs to be able to move the lasers without moving the machine. Maybe a combination of GPS and accelerometer combined with the camera for output to whatever controller we have so we can make a targeting mechanism.
Lots of prior art exists to make this from so it's about a done deal.
-Power. Power is going to be our biggest issue. The doubleshot is self sufficent, maybe get a couple of mugens and build a docking bay for them where you could plug in 4 or 5 that the doubleshot could use just like the one in the phone while it's on. Heck, we already disassembled it and built the parts into the beast, so this upgrade makes sense. If we can use this battery bank for the rest of the machine - lasers and the flying/swimming bit, then 4 or 5 might not be enough.
-Weight. If it's gonna fly, it's already too heavy with the doubleshot. Add batteries and it's a serious hurdle to overcome. Helicopter blades aren't gonna cut it so this:

...translates the joke into the only logical blueprint to pull it off.
So now we are off to model rockets, and the solid fuel rocket engines. It's okay to refuel a one-burn stage of flight now because that's how that would work. We have many, many years of hobbyist activity to pull from for materials and knowledge.
We can set up a multi-stage flight mechanism and having the doubleshot in the machine allows us to control when those stages ignite, not just one setting off the next.
Hell, we may even be able to fit a rotating barrel or three of engines in the belly of the shark that will serve up stage after stage of engines to be ignited for continued flight. At this point we may very well be looking at orbital capabilities. Why not - go big, right?
Maybe a parachute would be a good thing to incorporate, and being as it's a frickin' shark, we can splash-down for landing somewhere. So play with it by a lake or something. You won't have to go get it, because it can swim, so you just pop out the propeller from the underside-rear, located internally behind the rotating top-serve engines, and drive it to where you are.
Bonus points if on a dock or boat so you don't have to beach it to get it.
(thanks for giving me an outlet for something creative to wander through while printing a ton of pictures)

+ 1 for full camera function. Also, not a huge deal at all, but the CAPS/ALT LEDs function would be nice too.
I might be alone with this one, but I remember in the G1 days, when I press the phone icon to make a call and just start typing the name of a contact, it would automatically search my contacts and start showing matching names, and I could quickly call someone. Some DS ROMs do this, some don't, but it's a cool, quick way to call someone who's not on the recently called list.
Really, I'm just listing the minor things in CM 9.1 that bug me in an otherwise perfect ROM lol
A little off topic, but since we're all speculating: being able to boot from SD card would be boss.
edit: seems this is already possible with an app

Although I know a couple of other things too, something I've just wished is that we could use the original DS camera in any ROM we wanted AND it would be really handy if it came with IR features for pics & video. Upgradable RAM would be a GREAT feature too.....maybe up to 2gb...if you think of just a HW feature.

Remember that internet tough guy who claimed he had a fully-functional AOSP ROM that used the DS camera to the full extent but wouldn't release it because no one wanted to donate to him? That post reminded me of him for some reason.

Why? CM9.1 is improved in almost every way over CM7.

I am also a fan of the bluetooth controller bit. Sixaxis app and a ps3 controller - especially one without the rumble pack - is pretty handy. Remote camera shutter trigger, for one, it's not just good for games.
Also think that codec support for a variety of audio/video filetypes should be built in. Working avi support for one. I have gigs and gigs of video i've shot and converted to avi because over the years digital storage space has not been as prevalent or as cheap as it is today.
One day i'll have everything converted to .mp4, but this is years of home video we are talking about. I'd like to play it to a tv through the device without it crashing sometime in the next calendar year, which won't be happening with having to convert it all to .mp4 first.

No detail too small - and i'd hardly dismiss any part of the hardware not functioning properly as no big thing. I don't think that's being unreasonable?
Sometimes it can be a convoluted process on the dev side to get the most basic of things working right. In the context of a wish list the various little things that bug people, or that they think would be cool to have are the gems this thread is aiming to find.

I like this thread! I agree with most people's answers.
We definitely should have working TV out.
We should have our Alt and Caps light working and all other capabilities of the harware keyboard as it was THE reason I bought this over Sensation at the time of purchase
DS camera should be included or at least an equal or better replacement. Losing face detection, burst shot, panorama, and 1080P is not a step forward.
What I hear people saying is...(or maybe it's just how I feel) our phone has some really great features out of the box and it would be nice if we could take that strong base and develop it further to add more options and tweaks without having to sacrifice the best features of our ROM. Maintaining these features and bringing ICS or JB to the table would be fabulous but honestly, if we just made our own base ROM more feature rich, I could live with that....maybe dress it up with some better themes.
It's those little things missing from ROMs that make me always come back to the stock based ROMs. I just brought Netflix to a friend's house last night by hooking my phone to his TV and I caught him up on Walking Dead. I'll personally take that ability over a few points on a benchmark or something.
Trackpad wake/sleep is another for me. I LOVE that when I'm on a stock based ROM like Bulletproof and MikTouch that when I hear a notifaction sound of a text, I can comfortably hit the trackpad to wake the phone but not unlock, read the text and then put the phone back to sleep with the same button.....same thing when I want to check the time.
It's the little things...
Oh yeah that sixaxis feature that Blue6IX has been hoping for since day one does sound pretty awesome!!

Just hit me (my bad if anyone else mentioned this) that annoying issue with the power button where at the same time to goes to sleep and pulls up the "power menu?" Not sure if that's what its called.

I know that was an issue on the GB ROMs. Which are you running?

Skyrocket As a Music/Media Player

HI all. A couple of months ago I moved from my skyrocket to an S4.
I am now looking to use my skyrocket solely as a media device - primarily an mp3 player. I plan on removing most of my apps and just downloading something like PowerAmp and then synching my mp3 files to the internal memory.
As such, I am interested in a ROM that is very stable and that may have been optimized for music playback capabilities (for example, I know certain ROMs build in different DSPs, music controls, whatever).
Based on this can anyone please recommend a couple of ROMs that would best suit this purpose for me to go check out? Thanks.

I'm not gonna recommend a specific rom, but I would suggest if using it solely for music to use something compatible with this mod. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1878945. It greatly improves audio. Anything pretty 4.3 should work but read the op.

Thanks. This is exactly the kind of guidance I am looking for.
I know certain ROMs have some audio mods built in...does anyone know of ROMs that have this, or a similar audio mod, already included?

Look through the dev section and pick out something you think you'd like. Audio mods are easy to install, just make sure you follow the directions. The only rom I can remember with a pre-installed audio mod was blinky's revenge, but that's kind of old now and the dev has moved on. Good luck!

I actually have thought about creating a ROM just for that. Remove all phone, messaging stuff and basically make it a media player. Maintain wifi and BT. Add some audio enhancements and so on. Not sure how much interest there would be in that though. I would use it seeing as I do not use my skyrocket as a phone any more.
If I were to give this a go who would all be interested in it??

That's all I used my old SGS 4G for after I got the Rocket. Basically just put it in airplane mode and I could play tunes for over 24 hours on a single charge. It just decided to turn into a paper weight a few weeks ago. I've been using the Rocket for my music needs since then. Seeing as how I am getting another phone soonish I'll keep the Rocket strictly for music. So I would use something like that for sure. Keeping bluetooth and wifi would be great since I can stream to my sound bar with BT. Hell my phone could become my personal home juke box.

I would try it out just for fun even though I am still using my Skyrocket. However I am due for another phone soon.

If I remember I'll try and spin a 'phoneless' build tonight and see if it works.

I've done something like this with an old HTC Evo a buddy had it works well but i don't know where in the source all of the phone bits are to remove so that it can be completely clean. i think this would be a good project given the age of the phone itself.

Go for it... I had started on this. I had a booting build with basically no apps and phone capability and the I ran into a systemui fc. Still trying to figure that out and then I stumbled across omnirom, which I have been working on since.

For the Rocket?????? Rad either way. A lot of folks are excited about this one.

I'd be all over this now that I've moved on to the G2.

My build environment seems to be borked, so nothing from me yet.

Yes for the skyrocket. It is proving to be more difficult than I thought. It is more AOSP which is not setup for our device at all.
Spending more time on this media player today though.
You can keep up on the progress here: https://bitbucket.org/toyes/manifest
Any suggestions and ideas would be welcome. (Which players, audio mods... etc.)

jetAudi basic has been my go to player for a few years now. It has ten band EQ, sound effects and a preamp already on board. It however doesn't play nicely with King Beatz so just a heads up on that. If your ripping most of the stuff out of system that should leave a lot of room for multiple players. Then people could just choose whichever one they like best and set it as default.

I'm thinking that. Either that or different Zips for different players/mods.. or figure out how to use the aroma installer..
