I'm pretty sure this is Deck's response to someone asking about the version that was up for dl before he posted it in the OP:

So you might want to re-download if you are running the older RC8.

Also RC 9 is up now...
[EVO 4G Android Development] stricklerjosh:
Fyi guys deck posted rc9. There is a changelog on ppcgeek. I flashed over with no wipe and everything is good. Also kyles clear as day theme works great with this.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jstalford:
Changelog is posted above.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mquinn24:
Thanks guys
[EVO 4G Android Development] ro_bro:
I'm on RC7 with Tiamat 3.3.4. I thought I would just use this as a test ROM, but I've stayed on, and let go of MIUI, which I really liked.

The battery stats are more or less "settled" and I'm getting about 15 hours of moderate use before I need charge, which is enough for me. No issues with GPS for me.

A great daily driver. Yeah, MIUI was more refined visually, but this Deck ROM is solid. Will try out RC9 now.

Not sure if Deck reads this thread, but great job man.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jstalford:
Theoretically, I think you should get better battery on RC9, people were having issues on 7.
[EVO 4G Android Development] teejay89:
I just flashed RC9 today. Getting good use of it, I love Deck's ROM, he's been battling it out with CM7 for supremacy over my phone. Testing the stock kernel today before going back to Tiamat and gotten 2 hours and 45 minutes out of it with some light use. :/ Looks like I might be going back to Tiamat reallly quickly.
[EVO 4G Android Development] teejay89:
though this is with 4G going most of the day.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jstalford:
Not that I've never posted twice in a row, but there is an edit button ;-).

Also, you might want to calibrate the battery. Try charging it with the HTC method where you charge it full, turn it off, charge for two more hours, turn it back on etc, etc. Can't remember the whole thing. There is a thread in general on how to double your battery life. Try doing that and then letting the phone run all the way down a few times in a row.

Or try doing that once and then wiping battery stats.

Or try Tiamat, :-) . Whatever works...
[EVO 4G Android Development] stricklerjosh:
I was on tiamat on rc7-rc8 but im gonna give this new kernel a few days and see results. Pretty solid so far.

Loving this rom!
[EVO 4G Android Development] jumperallday15:
I'm loving this rom myself also. I tried many different ones before but this ins by far is the most stable. I tried using tiamat and savage kernel but I keep coming back to savage. Better battery life in my opinion than tiamat.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Rally187:
im on rc9 and every time i try to put beautiful widget up it fc's on me. ive been using it on every other build so kinda confused. Ive wiped everything even did caulkins format all (which i have another question) reflashed and still nothing. redownloaded both the rom and gapps still a no go. i was wondering if it is the new gapps release possibly? just curious if anyone else has had and problems or see if they can get it to work.

My question about caulkins format all is that i have never done that between decks releases and just wanted to make sure that it wouldnt effect the GPS fix that i did back on rc3 because it has always been working for me since i did it then. Im on bed rest otherwise i would hop in the jeep and just find out.
[EVO 4G Android Development] stricklerjosh:
I don't know what it is about the format all but it always messes up my phone. Weird.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jstalford:
I had this issue on 8 and 9. Try doing a fix permissions in ROM Manager. That didn't fix it for me, but for BW, I got it to work by clicking wait instead of fc.

I still have had more force closes on RC9 than I have on any other GB ROM in a while though.

Edit: I flash format all like a million times a day. Never affected my GPS status.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mquinn24:
Beat me to it ^

Fix permissions worked for me.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Rally187:
well thanks to both of you it worked. it almost makes me mad how simple the answer often is.
[EVO 4G Android Development] teejay89:
lol, my bad.

Already went to Tiamat (after wiping cache/dalvik/battery data). I did the battery format last night actually, but I may have messed it up. Idk, I'm happy with Tiamat, was just testing the stock CM kernel that Deck uses. Ended up getting about 5 hours out of a charge, so not TERRIBLE, but not enough for a day at work.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ECrispy:
I beg to differ, that's very terrible! At least for me. I don't have an extra battery and the phone would be unusable with that.
[EVO 4G Android Development] teejay89:
idk, I don't have high expectations for battery life.

Just went about 5 hours off the charger and only dropped to 63% with Tiamat's kernel though
[EVO 4G Android Development] jstalford:
Some of the differences between this and CM...
[EVO 4G Android Development] stricklerjosh:
This rom is great. I'm glad others are liking it as much as me. Deck is doing a great job.

Does anyone know yahoo messenger video chat will not work with this rom but works with sense roms? Is it a gibgerbread thing? Tia
[EVO 4G Android Development] jumperallday15:
Ok so I used savaged kernel all day yesterday and tiamat all day today. Both with 4G on all day. I'm kinda torn because the battery life is 10 times better with savaged but 4G is flawless with tiamat. I like using 4G since its fully supported in my area but I like not having to charge my phone all day too. Kinda sucks cause both can't be combined into one to make a complete kernel. 4G keeps disconnecting with savages and maybe that's why the battery life is way better haha. Still love deck's Rom tho.
[EVO 4G Android Development] stricklerjosh:
Try them both for more than a day. A kernel needs a few cycles before it settles in.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jumperallday15:
Alrite I'LLC try that. I ran savaged for over 2 weeks so I'LLC do the same with tiamat. Thanks.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jumperallday15:
Damn auto correct. I meant to put "I'll" both times haha. Fail!
[EVO 4G Android Development] stricklerjosh:
Im on tiamat right now. Hopefully deck will hold off on rc10 so I can figure out which kernel works best.
[EVO 4G Android Development] cordell12:
Does a reboot with Tiamat still throw decks rom into a bootloop?
[EVO 4G Android Development] snandlal:
Yes. Reboot recovery and wipe cache/dalvik cache. Fixed
[EVO 4G Android Development] cordell12:
Nice, I will check it out them. Last time I ran deck's rom was RC7, it was smooth and all but I also like the way Tiamat Kernel runs on my phone, the two of them together were EPIC! But, yes there was a downside to this, when I would reboot the phone it would go into a bootloop. Something to do with the rerouting of the audio. I had posted Logcat in this thread but never followed up on it as stricklerjosh confirmed the same bug...
[EVO 4G Android Development] stricklerjosh:
I don't get that bug anymore. Not sure if deck fixed it or it was fixed in the kernel, but I don't run into it.I am also using kyles clear as day theme and not dark horse but i don't kink he theme was the culprit anyway. Agreed on the kernel and rom being an epic match. Loving it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mquinn24:
rc10 has been released.

-Fixes to bluetooth reliability

-Fixes to Wimax reliability

-Fixes to GPS reliability

-Fixes to Theme Manager

-Fixes to background data

-Fixes to Account Sync Settings

-On par with latest cmsrc commits to framework and etc...

-Standard android lockscreen now default in lockscreen and phone.

-Many more you know the deal...
[EVO 4G Android Development] mac_evo:
Initial testing of RC10 now allows my GPS to lock and displays the GPS indicator in the notification bar. Will test more. :D
[EVO 4G Android Development] alaman68:
My GPS locks quickly and displays in the notification bar, but won't go away until I reboot. Locks really quickly which is great though.

With theme manager, my wallpaper won't change and I lose all of the power widgets in the notification bar when I apply a change. Still a great ROM though, and I can deal with those little things until I learn to code, which will be never
[EVO 4G Android Development] JSmurfy:
wow this sounds almost too good tobe true,

may i ask a noob question??? if i dont like this rom i can just e download or Nandroid restore to my old rom no?? and will nets 4.3.1 work on this??

or any kernel any 1 suggests , or even is any kernel suggested cause it sould like batt like is sick .. thx for any help
[EVO 4G Android Development] alaman68:
Nets are for sense ROMS only, so try the stock kernel first, it's not too bad, then give the new savage zen 1.1.0 cfs a shot. I love it and get 24 hours moderate use no problem and it is fast!!! There is also Tiamat which are good

If you don't like the ROM, you can wipe and nand back. After three days, you won't want to though.

When you make the jump to this ROM, in your current sense ROM, before rebooting into recovery, turn on GPS, get a lock in MAPS, then reboot right from there. I have a feeling about that, need you to test it for me and tell me if you get a gps lock again once you are up and running in GB.

Also, don't forget to flash the new gapps...
[EVO 4G Android Development] teh roxxorz:
You can just restore a backup of your prior rom. I run Tiamat on CM7...at 16hr 55mins with 55% left, non-sbc 3.3.5 version. So I recommend Tiamat.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mquinn24:
Do a hot boot after you choose a theme from the theme manager. Once it restarts, your power widgets will be there.
[EVO 4G Android Development] alaman68:
I only have three options.

Reboot

Recovery

Boot loader

Am I missing something? On rc10
[EVO 4G Android Development] mquinn24:
Sorry. I have the quickboot app and it has that option. Just do a reboot. You'll be good to go.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ro_bro:
I just noticed with this ROM that my default video camera now records in m4v format. I think MIUI recorded in mp4. M4v format to put it simply is a pain in the neck.

The video recorded is also about 1.5 seconds out of sync in audio (lag) and video. Anyone else getting this issue? Also can you confirm you are also getting m4v format? any other way to change this and the resolution at which this is recorded? Is this just a stock Android 2.3 camera limitation?
[EVO 4G Android Development] alaman68:
got it, works perfectly
[EVO 4G Android Development] JSmurfy:
ok i tried really, to really like this but i think i can say im a sense person.. the rom is sick but a lit of the apps dont work.. like desktop visualizer and my vmail, which i fixed frop op on his thread, but its like plain jane.. no fun =(

-- i mean sickly fast but i guess i cant get used to this.. im gonna leave it on for rest of day to see..
[EVO 4G Android Development] jstalford:
ROM is meant to be a base to work from to create your own look. With the theme manager, you can change themes whenever you want, although I never leave Sculpted. If you want a crazy themed CM based ROM, flash Destroyer v2.

Plenty of other mods as well. As far as apps go, if they don't work, might not be updated for gingerbread yet.
[EVO 4G Android Development] JSmurfy:
ok im game.. any suggestions on where to loook for gb mods?? i know there is a search button im gonna hit it now. just any help is cool.. thx
[EVO 4G Android Development] jstalford:
Well, I would def recommend the sculted theme and the Honeycomb lock (Below, that's not Sculpted though, it's Destroyer).

But there are tons of CM7 themes for the theme engine in the Themes forum/Market.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mquinn24:
Darkhorse theme with Launcher pro + has almost everything sense has. Try it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] alaman68:
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=948109

download them and install the apk, then they show up in your theme manager with happiness.
[EVO 4G Android Development] JSmurfy:
thats awesome.. not to sound noob --- this works on docks r10?
[EVO 4G Android Development] teejay89:
Yes, Deck's ROM uses the same Theme Chooser app. Also he uses a fair amount of CM's code.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jstalford:
Yeah. should work on any ROM with the theme manager.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mge091:
Total noob question, can I just download rc10 and flash it over rc9 or do I have to do a wipe and install the rom from scratch? I really don't want to lose my setup.....
[EVO 4G Android Development] jstalford:
Just do a nand backup, wipe cache/dalvik and flash over. If you have any issues, you may have to do a full wipe, but you should be ok.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mge091:
Cool thanks I appreciate it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mac_evo:
@ 36 hours on this ROM. I have no issues to report currently except maybe a little static when on a call. Battery life - today off charger @ 0730 showed 100% when plugged in - but when I unplugged it showed 91%, currently at 55% after @ 14 hours with light to moderate use.
[EVO 4G Android Development] JSmurfy:
are you using a kernel with that?? if so which one.. if you already posted which sorry i must have missed it
[EVO 4G Android Development] alaman68:
that's probably the stock kernel with the initial standard dropoff from killing the charger too early. Try the SZ cfs 1.1.0, then you can script the sbc off if you want. I'm at 18 hours with 35% left.

Hey Jsmurfy, i loaded a new music player and all of my old texts and visual voicemails came back from my blackberry from 2 years ago. Made me laugh, and I thought of your posts from ESIII. Guess I didn't solve that problem, but they are now in DCIM/blackberry/music/unknown. I've deleted them at least 10 times.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mac_evo:
I am using the stock kernel for now until I get a good feel for how things will behave. Today I am 68% after 13 hours off charger. Probably a little lighter use than yesterday - but not much.
[EVO 4G Android Development] javidnky2005:
Can anyone get wifi Tether to work on this?
[EVO 4G Android Development] jstalford:
Are you using the built in wifi tether, or a 3rd party app? Built in works fine. 3rd party tether borks itself and the built in one. Only way to fix is to reflash.

Edit: Decks Gingerbread v1.0 coming 4/20 (maybe sooner).
[EVO 4G Android Development] dpg2001:
has been working on mine just fine using wifi tether and decks rc10
[EVO 4G Android Development] snandlal:
Great. love this cm-evo-specific rom
[EVO 4G Android Development] javidnky2005:
Does GPS work on rc10?
[EVO 4G Android Development] jstalford:
Same as any other GB ROM. Hit or miss, mostly hit, esp. after applying the sense fix. ##GPSCLRX# was not needed for ME. though.
[EVO 4G Android Development] raphenucleus:
Pre-v1.0 just released an hour ago. Not sure whether that means he released v1.0 early or if he's still working on it and the final version will be released on April 20th as he stated previously. Either way, I'll probably be flashing this tonight.
[EVO 4G Android Development] teejay89:
Already flashed it. Faster, smoother and the GPS is working a whole hell of a lot better. Haven't tried 4G stuff or tethering yet though
[EVO 4G Android Development] stricklerjosh:
Thing is blazing fast. I'm affraid to flash a different kernel.
[EVO 4G Android Development] snandlal:
This is good enough of a final for me
[EVO 4G Android Development] stricklerjosh:
Man it is flying for me. Crazy fast. I'm not overclocked or anything. Gonna charge overnight and see battery tomorrow
[EVO 4G Android Development] snandlal:
O it will be good. Deck is good at this android stuff. Cm team also.

p.s. For Shinzul My Ninzul
[EVO 4G Android Development] ZuperBlahq:
does this rom support themes?
[EVO 4G Android Development] mquinn24:
Just flashed pre1.0 and I've got say: holy sh*t this thing is fast. I flashed sz 1.1 out of habit. Kinda wish I left it stock to see what it would do.
[EVO 4G Android Development] snandlal:
Yes this rom has the theme manager and no bloatware
[EVO 4G Android Development] snandlal:
Come on people!! Download and flash this....your missin out!
[EVO 4G Android Development] teejay89:
It uses the CM kernel- just download Kernel Manager and change it at will, duh haha
[EVO 4G Android Development] stricklerjosh:
No I know I cab change it. Just don't wanna mess anything up. Lol
[EVO 4G Android Development] snandlal:
This stock kernel is of highest quality and compatiblity for this ROM
[EVO 4G Android Development] teejay89:
While I agree, it's fast and I have RIDICULOUS battery life with Tiamat 3.3.5
[EVO 4G Android Development] justin24:
How is gps do I have to do the msl process ?
[EVO 4G Android Development] snandlal:
Gps hits everytime!

This rom is waiting for YOU.....
[EVO 4G Android Development] teejay89:
http://i.imgur.com/l5y1j.png

just took that. I've done the GPS fix once, maybe a month or so ago.
[EVO 4G Android Development] snandlal:
Also....this has the 4g icon like the nexus s 4g will have. Showing data and out instead of just bars or arcs
[EVO 4G Android Development] justin24:
Awesome gonna flash the.Rom tonight. If I did the msl thing once already no need to do it again correct
[EVO 4G Android Development] snandlal:
Yes as long as sense hasnt loaded gps data....your good
[EVO 4G Android Development] mquinn24:
Just noticed it has the tablet tweak. Bottom status bar is kinda cool
[EVO 4G Android Development] snandlal:
This should be the choice above s-1.2.1 by far
[EVO 4G Android Development] stricklerjosh:
So I tried kernel manager last night and it messed up my phone. Had to restore a nandroid. Think I'm gonna stick to flashing kernels the normal way in recovery.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mquinn24:
Pre 2 is out. The only change is the new cm kernel and the leaked sprint vvm.
[EVO 4G Android Development] stricklerjosh:
Saw that think I'm gonna stick with pre1 and tiamat for now.
[EVO 4G Android Development] SouthernEvo:
Ok to those that have been plagued with high "Android System " Usage after making a phone call I believe I have made a break through in the issue . Of course this comes after the fact that 2.3.3 offical has been leaked LOL . I have posted on some threads in regards to this issue and did some testing of my own with different kernels . I have isolated the issue to the kernel not the actual rom itself . Im currently running Deck pre2-1.0 , out of the box in its stock form you do not have this issue of Android System spiking during phone calls TILL you apply another kernel to it . In stock form the Rom comes with a cyanogenmod 2.6.37.4 based kernel . I flashed the recent SZ and TIAMATS and low and behold I still got the dreaded spike in Android system after a phone call . I looked up kernels by both of those devs based on the older 2.6.37.4 and loaded it . Guess what no more android system spikes after making a phone call . I think something about the newer builds doesnt clash well with these roms , maybe its just my phone I havent had anyone else try this yet . But I have made numerous calls all day long and android system as stayed low 20-22% while voice calls dominated over cell standby and cell idle times . If you expierence the issue I described earlier try rolling back to a previous kernel based on cyanogenmod 2.6.37.4 kernel it should fix your issue .
[EVO 4G Android Development] snandlal:
Great info, thanks
[EVO 4G Android Development] snandlal:

[EVO 4G Android Development] justin24:
still not getting GPS turn by turn to work.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jstalford:
What version are you on and what have you tried to fix it?

Looks like you're going to have to do a full wipe and flash from scratch. If you have a nand backup or pre 1, might want to restore it and try again.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mac_evo:
Could not flash over RC10 to pre1 yesterday. Did full wipe today and went to pre3 with no problems. Great ROM, everything working - including GPS.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jumperallday15:
I'm pretty sure this was mentioned before and I apologize if it was. My video recording's really choppy now after pre 3. Never tried it but should've with rc's but is this a known issue or did I miss something? Anything would help. Thanks guys.
[EVO 4G Android Development] justin24:
Did the MSL/GPS Status fix and it worked.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jumperallday15:
For the video capture?
[EVO 4G Android Development] justin24:
nope for GPS Turn by Turn. Because they said no need for the MSL trick but you I still had to.
[EVO 4G Android Development] soundwavedj:
I am getting choppy video playback but the recording seems fine.
[EVO 4G Android Development] snandlal:
As long as your flashing between aosp and sense...you will have problems. But u stick to aosp, your good.
[EVO 4G Android Development] soundwavedj:
Where can I find a changelog for pre 4?
[EVO 4G Android Development] :
This Guy updates this Rom alot huh...must say tho I like this better then. Cm 7.0...run a bit smoother an quicker
[EVO 4G Android Development] stricklerjosh:
Does anyone else that uses this rom use an airave?
[EVO 4G Android Development] jstalford:
Don't think he posted a changelog, only that pre3 was a mess and that pre4 should be better.

They are usually posted in his thread over thee after he updates, but generally not in the op.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Mindspin_311:
Sorry if it has already been asked, but..

How is this different/better than SalvageMod?
[EVO 4G Android Development] jstalford:
I think they are pretty similar. I really don't know, but I think Salvage-Used their own base and added some features from CM, but Deck used CM as a base and made his own tweaks/Removed stuff.

Have to try them to find out. I would just run 1.2.1 until the 20th when Deck's final version comes out then flash it and compare. I might do the same thing, but I have CM set up so much right now, I don't really want to start over at the moment.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jstalford:
Pre5 is out
[EVO 4G Android Development] davidc23:
Video is fixed?
[EVO 4G Android Development] jstalford:
Video, like youtube playback? If that's what you mean, I would assume so. It's fixed on CM nightly 41 (for me), they someone found a fix for it somewhere.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jch8828:
I have been using Pre2 for a couple of days, I have to admit my phone (004) likes this better than CM7. Fast stable and everything is working. Did I mention NO BLOATWARE!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks a millon, Deck.

YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!
[EVO 4G Android Development] Rally187:
wtf is ppcgeeks down or what? can someone send me pre5. i could wait tell tomorrow morning and download pre8 haha jk but really can anyone send me pre5 im a flashaholic and i need my fix.

Did you try asking at PPC?
[EVO 4G Android Development] stricklerjosh:
No not yet.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mquinn24:
Sorry man, I can't help ya. You must live in the sticks to use an airave.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ayman86:
i use an airrave and i could never get any aosp rom to connect to it. maybe its just me (could be)
[EVO 4G Android Development] jstalford:
Interesting, my friend has one, I might try going to his apt to test it out. He has an Evo, but I have him on VaelPak right now. Was going to put him on this when 1.0 dropped, but I guess I should check this out first.
