I have been having a problem with my SD card randomly "disappearing". Any one else experiencing this? Found an article describing it: Sprint HTC EVO 4G Suffers Firmware Upgrade Problems | Geeky Gadgets

Full format, wipes and flash and everything working properly for me ... I actually set up gmail manually during the initial set up but use Titanium Backup for basically everything else and never have any problems with it... tried My Backup Root but it is SO much slower than TB (paid version)

Damn coloneljulius beat me to the punch! ... yep a simple click on the hour glass and wait a sec and it starts playing ... logged in though and it says my queue is empty (which it is not)??? ... also, anybody get the fullscreen option to work properly and center correctly?

Don't you have to be DE-odexed to flash a theme? (mention b/c the other guy was asking for an odexed version b/c he wanted to flash a theme)

@ OMJ,

What has Amikam tweaked in the base for speed? Asking because I'm wondering if I can flash either some themes or maybe just some notif bar stuff?

In spare parts there is an option to ZipAlign APKs at boot... should we check this? What exactly does ZipAligning do? and will it negatively effect any of Amikam's tweaks to the base?

ok maybe its my android n00bness but why is it when i send someone a picture, or when i get one, it always shows up as a 'slideshow' meaning only basically a thumbnail instead of the full image, especially when you attempt to put any text in the message as well?

yep, you have to use a deodexed ROM to apply a theme....

Ok guys... i was working on making my new rom version and i thought of an idea to optimize my rom as much as i can.
The whole process took me about two days to complete since i rebuilt approx 120-130 apk's and made approx 5,000 xml edits.

This ROM is basically my personal built of an HTC sense ROM and will be the new base for my ROM that will come out sometime later on this week.

Im sharing it cuz i think it is a big improvement to the overall system. And i thought i'll share my work with everyone.

First i would like to state that EVERYTHING IS WORKING on this ROM. So unless its a bug i didn't notice... it's all good.

Now... what was done here was basically rebuilding all of the ROM's apks and frameworks to remove all of the useless extra languages that were inside.

This resulted in much smaller apk sizes and resources.arsc files inside the apk's (up to 10 times smaller).
As a result of having smaller apk's loading times are faster and the ROM size is smaller.
All that is followed by the system consuming less RAM and that can easily be translated into better battery life.

Also, i changed all of the drawing methods from "fill_parent" to "match_parent" because i saw on the android dev website that using the "fill_parent" method should not be used starting android 2.2 (feel free to checkout the android dev website to see more details).

All of these changes should result in the fastest HTC Sense ROM thats is out now.

Keep in mind that its a Stock ROM so i only made a few tiny changes to it besides the fact the 95% of the apk's and framework are rebuild by me.

So, with that said... no screenshots are needed and understand that this ROM is meant to be used as a base for other roms if anyone would like to use it or as a daily driver for those who like stock ROMs.

As a side note... please understand that if u flash any themes over this rom it will take away the optimization i made from the specific app that was themed cuz all the themes that r out right now still have all of the localization files in their apk's which will make my optimization of that app useless.

Also note that this rom is probably not going to be maintained cuz it is meant to be used as a base for all who wants to use it and i already have my own rom to work on.
This should also explain why all of the stock ROM apps r still on it.

This is what inside:[INDENT]Rooted
Stock HTC Kernel (the one from OTA 3.70)
All of the stock ROM apps
Updated Apps
Updated Market (2.2.7)
4-in-1 Reboot Mod (my port)
USB/HotSpot Hack (my port based on vaelek port to calk's work) thats what i call team work, kinda.
Dalvik to Cache and Zipalign on boot

v4.4 he further compressed the apks

and as u can see, it zipaligns on boot

ok, i've flashed 4.4 twice now with cache/data wipes with rom manager, and neither time it enables or lets me enable/use the htcime keyboard, it only will use the touchinput one, what am i doing wrong or forgetting?

and just to make sure, you're long pressing in a input box to get the input method choice?
