Cool just checking. :)

Anyone else having status bar force close issues on the 5-23 rendition?
[EVO 4G Android Development] M4ver1ck:
The only thing I have issues with is sometimes apps will download but not install from the market. I normally just reboot my phone and then it works.

Also is there some sort of access control I can get for my wifi tethering? (i.e. Something that will tell me when a device connects)
[EVO 4G Android Development] M4ver1ck:
Hmm this thread is quiet lately. :(
[EVO 4G Android Development] cheflarry:
The developers are taking a break for a couple of weeks. Everything seems to be running good for now so hold tight. Then hopefully the port to the 3d will begin. ;)
[EVO 4G Android Development] M4ver1ck:
Nice. I'm really tempted to preorder the 3d, but then I'm kinda apprehensive. I've heard rumors about htc locking down the 3d and making it extreamly difficult to root, but then they just released a note saying that they are going to keep the bootloader open for 3rd party devs on future phones (sigh of relief).
[EVO 4G Android Development] cheflarry:
All good. They will be open boot loaders including the 3d
[EVO 4G Android Development] alwaysbelieve1:
That being said, which Rendition is the true latest and best? Thx!
[EVO 4G Android Development] cheflarry:
The first rc5 is the latest. Its the best. It has the multi mount on it and everything works except once u turn on 4g and turn it off u can not turn it back on till u reboot. To use the multi mount to transfer file u must follow my post on how to use it. The speeds are the same as recovery to transfer files on USB. If u don't follow my instructions the files will look like they transfer but then they wont be there. Enjoy.

This rom is real slick like, very fast but my wifi is very spotty. It worked when i first connected it then i rebooted my phone and wifi just sits at obtaining ip address and keeps disabling then trying again real weird like.
[EVO 4G Android Development] cheflarry:
Try going into wifi settings and hit the menu button go to advanced settings. Set wifi to never sleep and see how that goes. Just make sure u turn off wifi when u are not at home. The sz governor make the wifi go to sleep when the screen is off. That being said this may help u.
[EVO 4G Android Development] alwaysbelieve1:
What happens if you don't turn it off when you leave the wifi network? I leave mine on all the time so when I come home or when at work it automatically connects and I don't have to think about it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] cheflarry:
Might kill your battery. Try it and maybe turn of notify of open wifi.
[EVO 4G Android Development] stat30fbliss:
Oh my god

This ROM truly is a work of art. Thank you so much. You guys have really outdone yourselves.

The wifi notify is always off.

Screen resolution

Is there a way to change the screen resolution in this ROM? I liked the look and feel of it when I flashed it yesterday, but one of the first things I always do is use ResToggle to crank up the resolution so I can fit more on the screen. And every time I tried to run ResToggle it would force close.

It was on a basic install after a wipe of everything and Caulkins Format All. Stock Kernel.

I tried fixing permissions, wiping Dalvik and Cache, installing from Titanium Backup, installing from Market. Any suggestions would be appreciated because I'd like to try this ROM for a few days, but the resolution issue is a deal breaker for me.

Even other resolution apps from the market that do work with this ROM would be ok.

Thanks

Did the turning wifi to not sleep help?
[EVO 4G Android Development] jomaca9:
Hello, Guys!

I have been using/testing this room [Renditions R5] for a whole week. <--Wiped EVERYTHING (Factory Reset, Cache, Dalvik-Cache, Data, Boot..) & Installed

It is Stable an Fast <-- Which is AWESOME! :D

Only 2 issues are the battery... Drainning as fast as a Brand New Stock EVO & the Gallery... Loads & keep loading for a long period the previews everytime I open it.

Battery:

I know ( as experience ) that signal variants <--- @Home I have almost full signal; @Work I'm 70% ROAMING--> makes a HUGE difference in battery's consumption. ( Roaming is like the Cookie Monster of Battery... On nom nom nom! )

I'm using it as is ( "Stock" Kernel. ), but tried a couple of combinations with the Raging Monkeys (Governors and CPU), but none of them is a Battery's Savior.

( Or I'm missing in action...)

My attention comes because it is SBC (tried No SBC too!), and I have tried SBC kernels ( Specially Tiamat's ) in other Rom's like MIUI & CM7, and battery charges faster and last a lot more.

I think the Kernel needs to be pimped, otherwise, IMO, can be used as a Daily Rom.

Gallery:

I have about... 1, 2, 3, ... 30+ folders with a Total of 2,000+ Pics ( Photos, Screenshots, icons, etc. ). It's there a Hunting-Mode option to find new transfered Pictures, rather than rebooting?

I use Photo Vault app ( please don't ask... ;) ) and it loads every picture basically instantly. That makes me think that the problem relies on the 3D Gallery app... A 2D Gallery is not so Fancy but more effective...

...Well, I'll stop writing because it seems more complaints than anything else ... But in reality are DETAILS!

BTW, Thanks!
[EVO 4G Android Development] cheflarry:
They are working on a new kernel because 2.6.39 Linux kernel was released. Hopefully that will help some with the battery life.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jomaca9:
@Cheflarry

Good news! I'll give a try the ROM for another week... Unless I see something else... (Imma flashaholic!). ツ

I'll keep reporting/annoying!

:D
[EVO 4G Android Development] M4ver1ck:
Is there a good way to do access control (i.e. Notify you when someone connects) for the wifi tethering on this rom?
[EVO 4G Android Development] LifeInTheGrey:
I don't believe that is currently available in the embedded hotspot feature. Definitely something to consider in the future, though.
[EVO 4G Android Development] LifeInTheGrey:
Hopefully we can get this thread rolling again ...

THERE IS A NEW RENDITION AVAILABLE!!!! :D

I just flashed it, so far so good. I was kind of surprised that it came with 2.2.0 rather than 2.2.1, but not a big deal, I can just flash it later. I'll report back later as to performance and the like.
[EVO 4G Android Development] alwaysbelieve1:
Wouldn't it be 2.3 (gingerbread)?
[EVO 4G Android Development] LifeInTheGrey:
The Android version, yes, but I was referring to the kernel (uses 2.2.0 CFS rather than 2.2.1). My apologies for the lack of specificity.
[EVO 4G Android Development] PhxkinMassacre:
The rom is 2.3.4 gingerbread. But the kernel included is savages-zens 2.2.0 kernel. The kernel version has nothing to do with the android version the roms running.

Like if you were on the 4th generation of something it would be called v4 or whatever so think of the kernel that way without the v.
[EVO 4G Android Development] minieod:
has anyone experienced wifi turning off on them?

its weird, and never seen it before - i turn wifi on and try to connect to a new network - i enter the PW and then the radio just turns off

this has only started after RC5 i believe, i came from a full wipe
[EVO 4G Android Development] LifeInTheGrey:
I just flashed the new RC5 this morning (0603 rendition) and just connected to my home wireless no problem. Have you tried fixing permissions in Rom Manager?
[EVO 4G Android Development] LifeInTheGrey:
Btw, updated my signature with Dropbox links to the newest kernel (2.2.1 BFS), rendition (RC5 0603), GAAPS (0517), and Radio/WiMAX/PRI/NV combo (updated 6/3). Anyone who has trouble downloading from the SZ site should try here.
[EVO 4G Android Development] alwaysbelieve1:
Do you have a CFS? And what is different in your kernel set up then what we can dl from SZ?
[EVO 4G Android Development] LifeInTheGrey:
Sorry boss... just BFS. And its the same thing, its mainly just another resource if people have trouble downloading from the main site, that's all. :)

I have spoken.
[EVO 4G Android Development] igotroot:
Is this 2.3.3 or 2.3.4?????? I read the new OTA is 2.3.3 , but the 2.3.4 is the real latest and greatest with video chat ability in the Google Talk app.......
[EVO 4G Android Development] LifeInTheGrey:
As both the post you quoted and the title of the thread clearly states, it is 2.3.4. Video chat works fantastically. :)

I have spoken.
[EVO 4G Android Development] igotroot:
Ok smarty. Thanks. I can read. It's just that A LOT of people are modding the "gingerbread " update and others have a gingerbread version of their own, but I just wanted to seek out clarity. I wouldn't want the 2.3.3.

I am trying to use tasker in the Savaged Zen ROM and I have issues with the GPS and WiMAX. For the GPS it is saying that something was changed in 2.3 and custom ROMs like CM7 should be able to work, but it does not.

The WiMAX just states that it is not available on the device.

Any way to at least get the GPS working with tasker?

Also, is there an easy way to enable a battery icon with percentage and change the lock screen to use the rotary dial?

Thanks!
[EVO 4G Android Development] M4ver1ck:
Are you having issues just in Tasker or is the GPS and WiMax just not working all together?

As far as the battery icon and such, there are themes for theme chooser that will work on this rom, just do a search for theme chooser themes and there's a thread that contains most if not all of them. The lock screen can be changed using a metamorph, but I haven't really messed with it enough to explain it much.
[EVO 4G Android Development] alwaysbelieve1:
I searched and didn't find any thread with themes for Theme Chooser. Where might that be? Thx

well the title of the thread says 2.3.4

so....whats the confusion, smarty?

this rom has been running gingerbread for months .... it is not built off of the HTC EVO 4G 2.3 release fromt this week - it is running a [fully operational] ported version of the 2.3.4 rom built from the google released source codes.

Official Statement

We started building ROM's when GB Came out... there was never a froyo build... once 2.3.4 everyone that didnt have 100% of the AOSP libraries copied to their own repos HAD to upgrade to 2.3.4 as googles AOSP GB tree was upgraded from 2.3.3 to 2.3.4. If the title says 2.3.4 it is....

We are not a CM7 port, no matter what anyone says, just becuase we used some repo's that they already modded. (Libhardware and libhardware legacy, and used the device librarys) in NO WAY does it mean we KANGED(dumbass saying) them. We have used patches from various AOSP builds including CM7 as well as ones from ourselves.

Thats what i guess you can say is our official standing for future ?'s

If you want to use the word Kanged on this ROM, say "Kanged from Google" which everyone else is too LMFAO. Dumb online sayings... :-D

[EVO 4G Android Development] NYCHitman1:
I did use the Format All file. I always do when I'm switching ROMs.
[EVO 4G Android Development] minieod:
can you verify that the card is working independently, or with another rom fine?

just to rule that out

then we can proceed through SZ...or just try format all and flashing again, maybe there was a small hiccup internally
[EVO 4G Android Development] M4ver1ck:

[EVO 4G Android Development] mwielgosz:
You don't have to wipe when flashing a rendition over a rendition unless there is a MAJOR framework change. If that is the case, I'll let everyone know. Another good time to full wipe is when the RC version gets bumped. Ex. RC4 to RC5 might be a good time to wipe.

News Flash......GPS FIX from Vaelek GB 2.3.3 preview forum

When having issues with GPS simply do the following....

The steps to do this if needed and you so desire, are:

1. Go to the Market and download the app: MSL Reader

2. Use this app to get your MSL # (mine was six digits)

3. Backup your current rom

4. Flash to any Sense ROM

5. Launch phone dialer and dial ##GPSCLRX# (##4772579#)

6. Enter the MSL Number from above

7. Your phone will automatically reboot in 10 seconds

8. Turn off wifi

9. Turn on GPS

10. Open maps or GPS Status & Toolbox app

11. Wait for a fix

12. Restore your nand

13. If #12 doesn't work, repeat from step 4 but flash it clean at step 12.

This came from http://vaelek.com/index.php?/topic/1298-gps-issues/

I did it and BOOM!!!!! GPS works and syncs up fast.

Savaged Zen and Vaelpak look to be the best GB AOSP Roms...

However....I'd like to know if anyone has successfully made a 3-way call yet. I tried and to no luck.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mikeew83:
first attempt at this rom

just went through recovery wiped everything and getting f/c issues
[EVO 4G Android Development] LifeInTheGrey:
Sounds like its time to fix those permissions. ;)

I have spoken.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mikeew83:
not sure i follow

Can you please elaborate on that fix permissions in what sense.?
[EVO 4G Android Development] mikeew83:
ok got it now

it is booting got gapps installed does tiamats kernel work on this build?
[EVO 4G Android Development] mwielgosz:
it does but the ROM was designed specifically for our kernel. Using any other kernel will disable all of the kernel tweaks in SZParts
[EVO 4G Android Development] mikeew83:
yea ty

Just looked in about phone saw custom kernel already applied with rom built in so that works can i use pimp my cpu to uc this and tweak the profiles at all? also great work zen loving the vanilla I really wanna dev from aosp for this device but have no idea where to start had a buddy helping me but he was just about as lost i think as i was getting it to compile and such but that was using cm 7 repo.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mwielgosz:
We seriously need developers for SZ as we are incredible understaffed. I'm the main guy for development with the ROM ATM and it's a daunting task. If you do know any java, please feel free to contribute and submit to the git. Maybe you can be part of the team eventually.

SZRom has settings to mess with CPU underclock/overclock settings and a fully working GUI to adjust HAVS levels as well as turn SBC on/off on the fly
[EVO 4G Android Development] mikeew83:
Yea I realized that after the fact one prob long press 1 doesn't let me call vm

[EVO 4G Android Development] LifeInTheGrey:
If you install ROM Manager, there is an option called "Fix Permissions", which essentially chmods everything to the appropriate rwx settings. This allows the system to communicate best with that application, increasing battery life and eliminating (in most cases) Force Closes.

I don't watch Hulu on my phone but I know Dolphin HD has the option to change User Agent.
[EVO 4G Android Development] LifeInTheGrey:
There is no set "should" or "shouldn't", but I usually run that every time I flash a new ROM, experience FCs, or have a significant number of app updates from the market. I have found it improves battery life, performance of certain apps, and fixes most problems I encounter.
[EVO 4G Android Development] DraginMagik:
... i think tasker needs to be updated so that it can manage the AOSP WiMax. tasker is unable to manage wimax onCM7 either.
[EVO 4G Android Development] LifeInTheGrey:
Hey, I'm just throwing this question out to see if anyone has noticed this as well ... it could be about the kernel or the rom, but I've only noticed it on the rom, so I post here.

I have noticed that pretty consistently since I've started using SZ, I have EXTREMELY high Sensor usage, like a full blue bar in Spare Parts. It doesn't affect battery life a whole lot, but I have noticed that it has affected it a little since my days using the .35 kernel on CM (granted, that could be because of the power regression starting on the .38 that just happened to coincide with the beginning of this problem, but I don't really believe in coincidences). The phone itself sleeps no problem, but the sensor just appears to keep on going, and it does this on pretty much every governor I've tried.

Just curious if anyone else had opened up Spare Parts and noticed obscene sensor usage from Android System. I realize that sometimes these things are phone specific, so before I post anything on the bug site I wanted some confirmation.

Edit: even with this problem, I get over 30 hours battery life. Still a huge fan.

[EVO 4G Android Development] SammyM00782:
Dumb question. I like the ROM and the way it's been working but when I try to flash a new battery icon with the UOT it doesn't stick. I know in the CM's there's a setting for the stock battery percent icon or the regular one and if it's not unchecked the stock percent icon overrides the flash. Unless I'm retarded I don't see a setting like that so I was wondering what I have to do to get my honeycomb batter icon to stick. I was also having a few HAVS/CPU issues. If I set the low freq at 245 and lower my HAVS any I can't wake the phone without holding or hitting the power button a bunch of times. Keeping it a 384 or not messing with HAVS fixes it so I'm not gonna cry like a b about it, it's a small thing. Thanks in advance!
[EVO 4G Android Development] jta462:
A theme is the only way to change battery icon and percentage. For the wake lock, change your governor in CPU settings to interactive x.
