[Q] AA Themes & development - EC05 or EE03? - Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So, with all the development going on with EC05 & EE03 we at Android Anonymous are having a hard time deciding which to build and develop for. It's really up to you guys, so i'm putting a poll to decide.
Let me know. It's a lot of work to develop for both builds at the moment.

I'm on EE. Although it's a leak, I'm guessing AA would be able to use at least some of the EE work to the next gingerbread builds. Right?

EC05 has been the best for me since I started flashing custom ROMs. Bluetooth, GPS, battery, ETC. It seems to be the best at least on my phone.

That's the big debate we are going through, is to hold off till official GB & stick with EC05 or drop EC05 & go to EE03.

I vote EE03.

Its exciting to have the newest but things seem to be moving along at a faster pace as far as updates. I can understand the EE03 votes but why not wait for the official release? It can't be very far off right? Or am I being too optimistic?

I would say EC05 I really like how stable the EE03 rom is but its not official, best bet is to stick to official builds
Sent from my SPH-D700

Then what happens if another leak SOMEHOW comes out? What then? Just stick to official, but learn the frameworks of gingerbread if you can in the meanwhile.

I'll just speak for myself and say, as soon as I'm done porting Dark Horse over for EC05, I'm moving all my efforts to porting all of my current work to EE03.

I hate to say it but I think we should focus on getting moving for EE03. EC05 has plenty of themes already and also many capable themers out there to continue onward with theme development.
I believe our best devs/themers should be focusing on GB since that is where were headed next. I also believe from the work I've already done with GB that unless Sammy/Sprint does some crazy major changes to the frameworks and SystemUI.apk and other important theme files that everything we do now in EE03 should carry over to future builds/official GB.

I'd say ec05. Ee03 is to slow with rfs. Wait for official gb to come. Lookat all the people jumping from ee03 cause it was to buggy or to slow.
Sent From My Evo Killer!

I say EE03. Even though EC05 is faster and all, it already has a lot of themes. Even though EE03 might be a bit slow with a theme, it's still an opportunity EE03 users get if they want. Very few themes are for EE03 and it's a shame we don't have much variety, even if it is a leak.

Im on EE and even though people say it's "not complete" it's given me better results than any other ROM I have used, including battery life.

Personaly i have moved on to ee03 just to learn it. With ee03 having everything working compared to ed12, im sure we'll have an official soon. The framework is quite different then on ec05. there is a system ui apk that was never in froyo. I would at least play around with it to get familiar with it.

Every thing is gonna be ee03 sooner or later u guys should get jump start at it ; )

The problem with making a theme for froyo is that what we have isn't the final release. Mysteryemotionz put it very plainly to me: It is simply a "proof of concept" that signifies a completed project to come. So the framework (the files which control the on screen visuals)of the DJ29, the DK05 and the DK17 releases are all different, which leads me to believe that the final release will be different as well. I don't want to create something that will have to be redone in a matter of days/weeks. It makes sense, and the second the OTA comes out I'm going to start working on themes for it.

Does dk17 and dk05 run faster than dj29 and which do u think is best. Im afrais to flash dk05 cuz of modem issues ive heard about is there the same problem with flashing dk17. Which version of froyo is likely to be released officially do u know thomas? Btw thanks man I appriciate it.

Nobody knows for certain what the final version will bring, but I would make the assumption that it will be the most like DK17, simply because that is the latest revision. In terms of speed and stability, they are all beta versions that do contain bugs. I have extensively tried DJ29 and DK05, and they both seem relatively the same, so I imagine there isn't a huge difference, if any at all, between the 3 versions.

If you grab the latest SGS tools from this site it has the option of downloading the 5 icon dock AndroDENA themed touch wiz for your phone. Works for dk05 did not work on dj29 (at least for me)
Like thomas said. Anything built for dj29 will not work for dk05. Anything for dk05 will not work with dk17. Last I checked the ota is scheduled for the 23rd.so if that's the case it would be called dk23. I stopped all work due to this. Once the latest ota is official I will start my work and so will everyone else. I know thomasskull666, idkwhothatis, and dreamsforgeten are waiting for my framework. Me personally I got alot of tricks up my sleeve playing around with dj29 so be patient young grass hoppers. We do this for free so deving for every beta is pointless

got to agree. does seem a bit quiet. i am keeping both (well, the inc goes to the daughter but i will keep tweaking it for her) so i want the devs to keep working on the inc.
It's probably temporary, the Inc community will last for a while.
Sent from my Incredible with the XDA Premium App.
Recently (as in a few days ago) coming from an Eris, which was 'end-of-life' in the middle of last year, and then received Gingerbread almost instantaneously after it was released to the public thanks to our fine devs here at XDA, I highly doubt the DInc will die out any time soon. This phone has way too much potential.
I expert it do die down in time, but the CM machine will keep chugging. Honestly, so long as Cyanogen has a DInc ROM, I'll be content. I use launcher pro, and prefer stock android over anything else, so not having new versions of sense isn't a big deal to me. Sometimes I like to jump on the MIUI train, but I always end up back with Cyanogen. They always support their phones so well, I imagine development for cm will continue long past the DInc's shelf-life.
I think even if it does dwindle, it will only be minor. As long as we have CM and a good maintaner we should always have something new and better to throw on our phones. The only thing is I've always wanted to see AOSP roms with tv-out but I see very little future in anyone dev that now that interest in it has died down.
I have been tryin z roms lately with very good success, and their cameras are the bomb. Aosp is nice an smooth, but i like the option to switch atound alot, plus cm camera just isnt that good. Im runnin miui gb now, with zero issues, kinda shox me for a first release just how good this rom is. I would love to see gb sense though just to have it.

The devs have shifted focus to the Thunderbolt to give it a jump start in the root and rom arena. After this happens I'm sure we'll seen new stuff for the DInc again. Shoot! Someone will probably port the TB ROM to DInc.

I just don't see the rom being much better granted the new Sense might be cool to look at.
DINC // CM7 RC2 // SLAYHER#9
I may be completely wrong in saying this but i think the tb is actually going to increase the amount of dev on the dinc. When you look at the evo and dinc there are roms that run on both. From what ive heard of the tb its basically a evo just a lil bit better. So as soon as a good way is made for easy transfer of rom from tb to dinc or to evo we will have more options on the dinc. Plus as soon as the problems are sorted out of how to get tb roms and code to run on the dinc we will be getting more updates to stock releases.

Good to know you have our back.
I had an Iphone 4, didn't like iOS so I decided to go check out the thunderbolt, I was less than impressed. No 4g around me, and I didn't want to pay $100 on top of giving my iphone 4 back. So I picked up an incredible, and couldn't be happier. Its such a solid phone. Perfect size.
I personally cannot wait until people start (hopefully) coming back to the Inc, it's been dead here lately, more than usual anyway.
Don't want to see the Inc die.

Makes sense, I watch the EVO forums still rock, Nexus One forums will always be rocking, and with the Inc being such a close relative, just surprised activity has fallen off a little.

Huge downgrade for something that's in alpha stage to not be working perfectly?
Netflix upgraded to work with android 4.x back in december with the galaxy nexus release. Like other people who saying I think it's more to do with the actual rom than anything else. I'm sure with the next series releases these minor compatibility issues will be fixed.
Its netflix now but what else isn't working? There are programs other people use on a daily basis not seen at the moment with the current developers and testers using this beta style rom. We are not status quo. There's only a few people using calk's fb17 release at the moment...100 max I am willing to gamble.
The real question is what else isn't working? What other programs like netflix are not running correctly on this version of ice cream sandwich. Maybe there's an off chance that we can isolate the problems similar to what's going on with netflix and other programs and somehow cross check them together with other programs/APKs to find some related issue and tackle it from there.
Until then, like others, I'm gonna stay back on a regular android 3.x rom and work from here because I can't make it through my work night without netflix. It's too damn boring here at usps. 2 hours of work and 6 hours of downtime makes kevin a dull boy. here's hoping an even more stable release is put out so that we can have basic yet minor things like netflix back. Even though it may not seem that important to some other joe schmo across the internet at least a few of us actually desire something like netflix so I wouldn't judge too much.
Oh and by the way, I think this is working with my fb15 version last night so who knows maybe its just some issue isolated to the fb17 rom. I would check but I'm not at home. I really don't feel like temporarily breaking my phone for the evening. If someone wants to check to make sure you could try to flash the old fb15 release and see how netflix runs on that...or if it runs at all.

Like every other release for any OS, software patchwork needs to be done. What is truly exciting about ICS is that Google is requiring manufacturers not to mess with the base of the OS. Which means developers update once and it should be compatible with all. Its exciting mainly because some cool devs for ios have been holding back due to android manufacturers messing around. Now they should easly convert to android.

Quick question, and I'm not sure if it matters or not but how did you go about flashing calks rom? I can think of 3 or 4 different ways I can go about getting everything installed with this fb17 rom. I'm trying to figure out the difference between what you did what I did and how I can possibly get this to work for my phone. last time I installed it on a freshly flashed cwm as well as the fb15 modem. Then I even reverted back to stock el29 modem and rom, then installed calks rooted and deodexed fb17 rom keeping the el29 modem (doubt it matters much which modem I had). just wanted see if you did nothing there for different...or...something
Edit: Dang speak and spell screwed up everything...lol

Seeing as how its not officially released, and all of the ICS Roms are either leaks, or "ALPHA" your probably out of luck unless you magically come up with the source for the kernel and fix LOS, and the vibration intesity.

The reason I'm making this statement is because this rom is a good daily driver, but it obviously can use a little work (that's why its not an official release). But its mostly minuscule. You shouldn't have any problems. Just make sure you lock in your gps before you flashing your new rom.

I can agree with that. If you flash any stock FC05 (odex or deodex) or newer all of the main functions like phone, mms, email, apps, etc they all work.

Will the Evo ever get a fully functional ICS/JB rom?

I believe what's missing is proprietary code and drivers that can only come from an official ICS/JB from HTC, and that's never going to happen.
So all the ICS/JB roms we have the same issues - camera/camcorder, 4G etc.
Maybe, but the only way we got this far was by the Devs writing their own drivers and code. It's not easy at all to do that.

some can be but thats usually the developers fault. The evo is actually a really capable device it just has stupid power requirements. im running jelly bean on my phone and its smooth as hell.
this is the ROM im running Click Me
anyway no its never gunna happen unless by some miracle HTC makes the drivers and the Stock ROM for the evo fully open sourced and HTC isnt known for there open source-ness. OR if some developer somehow finds the free time and motivation to code the drivers them self, The probability of any of these happening is very..very low so low if scaled on a percentage from 0 to 100 the probability dosnt even register a whole number.
