[EVO 4G Android Development] VenerKGB:
Ok so I tested the navigation. I never got a satellite lock for the entire 12 mile ride home. The skies were not as cloudy as I first thought. I should have been able to get a good signal.

If I can't get GPS to work properly then I will have to give up on this ROM. I use my GPS almost daily for navigation.
[EVO 4G Android Development] r2DoesInc:
understandable. have you tried the msl trick?
[EVO 4G Android Development] VenerKGB:
Yes. A couple posts ago I said that I did that while I was still on a sense based ROM before I even flashed.
[EVO 4G Android Development] r2DoesInc:
idk then. ill look into it all a bit more, but i dont know what the issue is as it stands
[EVO 4G Android Development] mrvirginia:
those saying they aren't seeing a GPS icon... not sure what's up with that as i didn't have that issue at all earlier

to those saying they aren't seeing a 4G icon... that's because there aren't any within the SystemUI.apk. i'm ripping this ROM apart now and that's what i've discovered. going to throw them in there now, wrap up my build, and see what happens. i think OP just left them out by accident.

and to those hating on OP about pulling code from CM, i think if that were the case, if he straight ripped it and tweaked, then the 4G icons would've been in there because they've been in the CM builds for a while now (possibly even before 4G came to CM ROMs).
[EVO 4G Android Development] davidc23:
Hows the battery life for you guys?
[EVO 4G Android Development] VenerKGB:
Yeah it seems strange that some folks are having the issue and some aren't.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mrvirginia:
same as what i was getting on a CM ROM without loading a new kernel.

was charged up fully at work. got home about 30min later and had dropped to 94%. this is the type of drop it always has because of the whole trickle charging fiasco. (has prob been longer than 30min too, actually)
[EVO 4G Android Development] 22350:
I wonder if it is a hardware version issue
[EVO 4G Android Development] mrvirginia:
that's a no go on the 4G icons. looks like it needs to be worked into the framework (or where ever the icon gets called into the notification area)

i never use 4G though so no big deal for me :D
[EVO 4G Android Development] r2DoesInc:
i uploaded a new google apps package, grabbed the one from rom manager for aosp. its at the same link, so if you had issues before and what to retry it, just redownload the google apps.
[EVO 4G Android Development] dirkyd3rk:
So is this basically cm without the cm tweaks? Question, why would I leave cm for this rom? Anyone? If this is pure GB wouldn't this be a step backwards in GB development since it doesn't have the tweaks *scratches head*?
[EVO 4G Android Development] mac_evo:
Got to spend some more time testing:

As mentioned before no icons indicating 4G or GPS

4G turned on fine, but when went to disable it got a FC of SETTINGS app

GPS will not lock/pick up location at all, Switch to SENSE ROM it picks it up immediately.

Lock screen enables while actively on a call (EAS with required PIN)

Came from a SENSE ROM, did a full wipe of all items and ran format all script.

Otherwise stable and battery life seems reasonable. Until the issues noted are resolved I have to move back.
[EVO 4G Android Development] r2DoesInc:
this isnt cm w/o the tweaks. that implies that i took cm and just removed what i didnt want. this is what cm would be had he not decided to add in all the tweaks.

Some people prefer this, i dont know why personally though. Its a bit faster, a bit sleeker, but ive never used this as my DD, its custom build counterpart OMFGB is what i always used.
[EVO 4G Android Development] dirkyd3rk:
Cool thanks for the fast response dude.
[EVO 4G Android Development] r2DoesInc:
np, here to help :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] r2DoesInc:
bookmarked this post for me to come back to. this is the best buglist ive seen by far.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mrvirginia:
well i can answer that for ya :D

some people, like myself, don't need/want all those extra little tweaks and want to work off of a pretty much stock build to make our own themes/tweaks, again, like myself

also, i second the FC after trying to disable 4G. not having any of those other issues though.
[EVO 4G Android Development] DraeGZ:
?Do you have OMFGB available for download ?
[EVO 4G Android Development] mrvirginia:
woops, spoke too soon lol

when flashing GAPPS right after the ROM before booting first, there is no lock screen :D

also, when holding power, only reboot options and power off were there. those are back now as well.

i do a more "hardcore" wipe than most here. i do a full wipe (data/cache/dalvik-cache) + i flash the formatall.zip in case anyone was wondering

i did that twice before finally just doing the ROM again first and a reboot and now lock screen is back. wonder what's up with that hmmm

[EVO 4G Android Development] DraeGZ:
Thanks buddy
[EVO 4G Android Development] VenerKGB:
Ok, thanks to MrVirginia I restored my sense ROM again and did the GPS fix again. When I restored the GB ROM the GPS locked on from within the house. I got location within 10 meters and navigation grabbed a satellite within seconds.

Oh and the GPS icon showed up as well.

Thanks again guys!
[EVO 4G Android Development] DraeGZ:
So I downloaded and work fine UNTIL I rebooted my phone. Now will not get past the ANDROID sign. I did a COMPLETE wipe initially then I wiped dalvik/cache TWICE and flashed again. Same problem. Any suggestions ?
[EVO 4G Android Development] mrvirginia:
yeah np dude! :)

look for the formatall.zip around here and flash that.

do your wipes again, then flash the formatall.zip. then flash the ROM.
[EVO 4G Android Development] josh030181:
has any one used any themes yet, if so what ones are working for this
[EVO 4G Android Development] malibu_23:
AOSP GPS Fix:

flash sense.

dial "gpsclrx" in dialer.

reboot.

boot maps, get a lock.

got a lock? reboot to recovery.

wipe (or restore ur aosp back up)

flash gb rom (if u didnt restore)
[EVO 4G Android Development] nittanyryan:
Touchscreen not working when plugged in

Great job. I'm a big fan of minimal/bare bones ROMs like this. Very speedy: have gotten the highest quadrant scores of any ROM I've installed (1256 peak).

I haven't gotten the GPS to work yet but I'm about to try the sense msl reflash ROM trick noted above.

However, there is one oddity that I can't explain. I plugged in the phone and tried to unlock it -- didn't work. Unplugged the phone, and was able to unlock the screen just fine. I plugged it back in while unlocked and noticed that the touch screen is so unresponsive when the phone is plugged in that it is unusable.
[EVO 4G Android Development] r2DoesInc:
i totally agree, if you cant use it plugged in, that kinda sucks. thankfully i personally havemt ever seen that, and i havent heard from anyone else anything along those lines. did you swap the kernel or anything?
[EVO 4G Android Development] nittanyryan:
Nope - no new kernal. Went from stock sense to this. Installed using Amon_RA, wiped factory reset, cache and dalvik 3 times then installed ROM and gapps. Maybe it's an app I have installed. I'll let you know if I figure anything out.
[EVO 4G Android Development] nittanyryan:
That worked for me.
[EVO 4G Android Development] nittanyryan:
So apparently it had something to do with the charger I was using. Tried a different one and there was no issue.

You're a saint for having to deal with these kinds of questions and issues. I don't envy you!
[EVO 4G Android Development] VenerKGB:
After running the MSL fix a second time GPS has been solid. Navigation worked flawlessly on my drive to work this morning.

Is anyone else having issues with sending MMS? I just tried to send two MMS messages and they both are stuck as drafts. Plain SMS seem to work fine.
[EVO 4G Android Development] kip435:
mms worked for me. were you on wifi or 3g?
[EVO 4G Android Development] VenerKGB:
3G. I just tried it on WiFi with the same results.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Stuke00:
My WiMAX is not working. I just came from Myn's RLS5 and my 4G was working there. I downloaded the RSA Key checker, and it says my keys are missing???
[EVO 4G Android Development] davidc23:
Ouch! I hope you backed your wimax keys
[EVO 4G Android Development] Stuke00:
I did, at least I think. I am trying to find a way to restore them.
[EVO 4G Android Development] davidc23:
Through recovery
[EVO 4G Android Development] mrvirginia:
no issues with mms here either. but i'm not using the MMS apk that came with this ROM :p
[EVO 4G Android Development] Stuke00:
I like your toolbar.

[EVO 4G Android Development] mrvirginia:
thanks :)

i tend to rip things i like out of other ROMs and make various tweaks here and there to suit my tastes
[EVO 4G Android Development] VenerKGB:
Ok, so I downloaded Handcent to see if I had better luck sending MMS/picture message.

Over 3G and WiFi the message was stuck at the sending screen and never went furthur. (See attached image)

If anyone has an alternate method of sending SMS/MMS I would appreciate guidance. I want to give this ROM an honest try.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mrvirginia:
the easiest thing i could suggest is to pull a working MMS.apk from another AOSP ROM. i think you can load it back via adb or root explorer.

but i usually extract/decompress ROMs and work from them that way unless it's a weird apk that won't work using that method (my fb app that i use is like that)
[EVO 4G Android Development] VenerKGB:
Ok, I grabbed the Mms.apk from a CM6 zip and using Root Explorer I renamed my current one to mms_bak.apk and then saved the one from CM6 in the same location. I then rebooted and opened messaging and tried to send a picture again. I saw very brief data activity in the 3G icon and then nothing and the app just sits in "sending" mode but never actually sends. WiFi gives me the same results.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mrvirginia:
why would you pull an MMS apk from a build based around FroYo?

grab the one from CM7, or any AOSP build based on GB, since this is a GB ROM

edit: and be sure to grab one that has the MMS spliting fixed...
[EVO 4G Android Development] VenerKGB:
ummm...mainly because I never considered Froyo vs GB. I was only thinking AOSP. :o Too many acronyms for me! :confused:

I initially went for the CM7 one but I didn't immediately see the link on the download page so I grabbed CM6.

Thanks for your help and patience on this!

**EDIT**

The mms.apk from CM7 seems to be working. The odd thing is that I no longer have my stock messaging app. Handcent works fine so I will just stick with that but it's weird that the stock app is just gone. I rebooted after I put the new mms.apk... oh well at least it's working now.

So far, everything that was giving me pause about this ROM has been resolved through the advice and direction of MrVirginia and others in this thread. I was initially hesitant with all the uproar about the origin of the source, etc. but the OP came across well in his responses so I decided to give it a try. So far I'm pleased. I'm not head over heels like I was with Myn's but that's because I had really gotten used to some of the Sense goodies and I find myself missing them sometimes. I especially miss the dialer. I love the idea of punching a few letters of the name to bring up the number.

I'll keep this for a little longer and see if it really grows on me.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mrvirginia:
oh okay, and np. glad i could help

sounds like you didn't change permissions with root explorer though

should be:

rw-r-r

so user: read/write

group: read

others: read

change that, then do a reboot. should take care of it
[EVO 4G Android Development] CheesyNutz:
what keyboard is that total sexy !!
[EVO 4G Android Development] mrvirginia:
i actually went through a lot of trouble just to get the keyboard to match lol

i had a green version that matched the Androidian theme from CM7 that someone made. so i took that keyboard and spent several hours tweaking the colors perfectly through trial and error by changing values ever so slightly and reloading it just to see how it looked.

so yeah, this is my own mod. give me a few min and i'll post it. i need to fix the mic colors since this was never intended to be a public mod
[EVO 4G Android Development] r2DoesInc:
I would love -with your permission- to use that skin as the default keyboard. It's verrry slick.

[EVO 4G Android Development] mrvirginia:
actually, looks like it would take me a bit to get the mic colors corrected so i'm just going to post with the stock mic colors. don't think anyone needs an orange mic :D

yeah man, np. have at it!

I'll grab the images and have my source updated later today. You don't happen to be big into themeing do you? I'm horrible with image editing, but I've been needing a few images done.

Sent from my ADR6400L
[EVO 4G Android Development] mrvirginia:
no, not really big into it. i do various stuff for myself and others sometimes though. when time permits.

still waiting on a solid CM7 build so i can update the GalaxyS theme that is still stuck on FroYo :(
[EVO 4G Android Development] Stuke00:
Okay I got my 4g fixed (phew). Now how do I go about adding an icon for when I am connected to 4g? Would I need to pull the image out of a CM7 rom? And which file should I be looking for. Thanks!
[EVO 4G Android Development] :
Well I can answer the easy parts...

No icon in this ROM, and yes you should be able to get it from CM7. Where/how is not my expertise though. Might ask Shinzul or a Teamwin member, or maybe in the CM7 thread.

Good luck!
[EVO 4G Android Development] mrvirginia:
it needs more than that as i've already tried what you're saying. the images need to be called into the notification area which i believe is done within the framework-res.apk so that apk will need to be modified.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Stuke00:
Gotcha. Thanks! I will probably just wait for an update then :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] dougjamal:
I flashed the rom about 45 minutes ago and I'm impressed, to say the least. Very well done! Everything worked from the start. I flashed the rom, rebooted then flashed the GAPPS zip. Scrolling the app drawer was a tad laggy initially but then I changed some settings via the Spare Parts app and now it's good to go. I'm not sure if this has been mentioned and if so, I apologize. Anyway, the default lock screen disappeared when I created a pattern lock. Even after a reboot, the default lock screen know longer displays. Other than that, I'm really enjoying this rom and it has the potential to be my daily driver. Thank you for sharing.

UPDATE: Not sure if this is rom related or hardware related, but I just noticed that my LED is solid green indicating a full battery charge, however, my battery monitor widget as well as the Battery Status located in the Menu-Settings-About phone-Status section is displaying 95%. When I unplug from the charger, the LED goes out as it should.
[EVO 4G Android Development] :
The addition of the galaxy style notification widgets, salvageparts app, overscroll options, cpu freq added to the menu.

Nice features request by users, but nothing I need or want.

Edit: Definitely no other addons to this ROM.
[EVO 4G Android Development] :
First impressions. This rom is awesome! Seems very light weight, snappy and fast.

Thanks for keeping this rom as close to stock as possible. I also like the stock android boot animation!
[EVO 4G Android Development] jaysckap:
Yea its an issue it turns green between 90 & 95%
[EVO 4G Android Development] dougjamal:
Thank you for replying. I appreciate it. Take care....:)
[EVO 4G Android Development] :
Not really an issue. On aosp roms the green LED will come on at 90%. If I remember correctly, on Sense roms the light will come on only at 100%.

Edit: What I mean to say is, it's suppose to do that. :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] r2DoesInc:
ive never noticed the led bug, thanks for pointing that out.

not sure what your lock issue is, i set a pattern, then lock/unlocked it, set it back to none and it was fine.
[EVO 4G Android Development] dougjamal:
I didn't think it was, but I never noticed it during the times I was testing out CM 6 & 7 (not saying that it wasn't on) and you're right in regard to coming on at 100% with Sense-based roms. Still, I like this rom. It's clean, simple and not bogged down with extra tweaks, themes and mods.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mmegalodon:
That's always been the case ... green LED comes on at 90%.
[EVO 4G Android Development] dougjamal:
You're very welcome, sir. In regard to the lockscreen, the pattern lock works as it should. No problem there. The issue is that prior to me setting a pattern lock, the Vanilla lockscreen would appear, however, after setting up a pattern lock, the vanilla lockscreen no longer displays. I expected to see both, first the vanilla lockscreen and once I slide it over to unlock, I thought I would then see the pattern lockscreen. I hope that makes sense.
[EVO 4G Android Development] dougjamal:
I don't doubt you. I've just never noticed it on AOSP roms until today....no biggie.:)
[EVO 4G Android Development] foldessy:
I was unable to load up GAPPS when I had this Rom loaded .

Did the usual full wipe etc etc and no luck when installing GAPPS .

Would say successfully loaded reboot and no GAPPS once booted up
[EVO 4G Android Development] r2DoesInc:
some people seems to be aving huge problems with the google apps. try grabbing the ones from cm.
[EVO 4G Android Development] kabone:
Hi man... i see your rom and its interesting... until now no one rom with GB has functional 100%... problems with gps and some apps like wireless tether... this rom has the same problem?? or its something i can do for fix it??

Thanx for the effort...
[EVO 4G Android Development] drivinfast247:
I few questions before I flash:

1) Will I get that random notification saying I have a VM even though I dont?

2) Will I get a text every time someone leaves a VM?

The reason I ask this is because every single GB Rom Ive flashed I got these problems.

Thanks!
[EVO 4G Android Development] dougjamal:
I had no problem whatsoever. I flashed the rom first and booted to my homescreen and then I went back into recovery, wipe cache & dalvik like I always do before flashing anything, and then I flashed the GAPPS zip. Afterwards, I rebooted and was greeted with the setup wizard. I could send you the GAPPS.zip file that I have, if you'd like.
[EVO 4G Android Development] VenerKGB:
I grabbed the 20110307 version off of http://goo-inside.me/google-apps/ and I flashed the ROM and the gapps during the same recovery session.

I also used Calkulin's Format_ALL.zip which seems to do a good job clearing all data and caches.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ro_bro:
This is how you should resolve it:

1. You need to flash a non-android phone . There's really no easier way around it. But be careful of the $10 charge you might get incurred upon reactivation of your android phone. full details here:

http://sprintevotips.blogspot.com/2011/02/recurring-phantom-voicemail-icon.html

2. sign up for and then install google voice. and setup conditional forwarding (all part of the install). this will get google voice as your vmail handler. then you won't get the text.
[EVO 4G Android Development] drivinfast247:
DAMN! Thats a lot to do. Looks like Ill STILL be sticking with 2.2.
[EVO 4G Android Development] r2DoesInc:
I usually only tweet about these, but since you guys dont know how i work yet, i figured id come in and let you know.
