[EVO 4G Android Development] #Winning#:
To all the little girls who are using this thread to bag on Deck... GROW UP!

Yes, we all know that this rom is built off of CM7 so there isn't a need to bring that up. However, if you read the OP he has also used source from other GB AOSP roms as well. No knock on the CM team whatsoever but I honestly believe a lot of people go with CM7 because by word of mouth it is more popular, not necessarily because it is better. It is so great to have the freedom and choices to choose from so many roms, and having it only ultimately takes the development to even better things.

My only point here is stop wasting space on Deck's thread whining and complaining about how CM7 works better, and basically bashing Deck. Obviously this works great for a lot of people or people wouldn't be running it. Appreciate the hard work that Deck has put into this rom, keep flashing away on CM7 and move on with your life. If it works better for you than this rom then great, but there is no need to compare the two as if one is sooooo much better than the other. They are both beta, meaning they are both going to have issues here and there.

Just my .02 just had to put it on the table.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ZuperBlahq:
anyone know why when transfering things to the sd I get max of about 550 kb/s but on sense roms i get about 2-3mb/s ? thanks
[EVO 4G Android Development] k2buckley:
I'm not sure if it's as severe on all AOSP kernels, but I know for a fact that on the Savaged Zen kernel it is painfully slow. I usually just adb push the file to the sd card and go outside for a smoke when it's pushing. By the time I get back it's usually done, lol. I think it may be faster to mount USB in recovery and transfer the file that way. I'm not sure if adb pushing it to sd card transfers any faster or not, but I prefer to do it that way anyways.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ZuperBlahq:
mm I see so its kernal based? or atleast you think it is. Im running this rom with tiamats 4.0.4 and that was the speed i was getting. I noticed it when i switched from the rooted gingerbread update rom. I was transferring songs and like a folder of say 100mb takes about 4min where as on the Sense it was about 30sec give or take.
[EVO 4G Android Development] k2buckley:
Yes, I'm *almost* positive it's kernel related. I believe that the recovery.img actually uses it's own kernel, and that is why you get closer to normal speeds if you transfer the files in recovery. In Amon Ra, you select the "USB MS TOGGLE" or at least it's something along those lines. Transfers should be speedier then.

You might try making a backup of your current setup, then try flashing the stock CM kernel or maybe Godmode V9, and see if you notice a difference in transfer speeds. If not, either nand back or run with the new kernel for a day or two.

Quick question. When you say wake issue, do you mean a wake lock issue, as in phone not sleeping right? Or do you mean a screen wake up issue, where the screen doesn't wake up. Thanks man.
[EVO 4G Android Development] fixxxer2008:
yeah i think that's what he means as i definitely have that issue going on when trying to wake the phone.
[EVO 4G Android Development] knoc:
how does this one work out? i know 1.2w shift (though they seem builds apart?) it didn't boot? never came across that yet on my EVO
[EVO 4G Android Development] k2buckley:
Well, for the first time I wasn't able to get it booted. 1.2w first just hung at the splash. I wiped/flashed again, and this time got stuck in bootloops. I restored to t for now, that one works great for me.

I attatched the logcat from when it was bootlooping, if it may help figure out what went wrong. I did a complete wipe before flashing (as always). Also, the .txt may need to be removed in order to see the file. I had to add it for it to upload. I'm new to Ubuntu, and am not even sure what type of file it created when I did it, haha. I can view it when I click on it here though!

EDIT: FWIW, I had the same problem with the new VaelPak AOSP GB rom (wanted to try it, but couldn't get it to boot), and also the same problem with CM7 N94. I'm starting to wonder if there's something jacked up with my phone. I already reflashed my recovery. I'm not sure if there's a common problem with all the most recent roms, or if its my phone. All my nandroids restore just fine, thankfully.
[EVO 4G Android Development] cordell12:
anyone with a wake issue...

Try setting your min cpu to 245, that cleared mine up. Also make sure the "screen on" CRT animation is on.
[EVO 4G Android Development] knoc:
W booted up done for me. Maybe its a theme of yours
[EVO 4G Android Development] :
Obvious question first: are you wiping /boot and /system when you wipe?

The logcat has a dump in it, talking about /system/lib/libdvm.so -- not sure if that's the problem causing the reboots or not, you'd need someone a bit more skilled to read that debug output it has.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mikeyxda:
Don't get your panties in a bunch. Some of us are just interested in HOW deck's ROM differs from the CM7 ROMs. It's never specified here and as a techie, I'm just interested in what type of changes he's made to CM7 (because I know that's his starting point). Does he use different (potentially better) drivers than CM7 or a different method/compiler to compile the code? Does he remove any bloat that might affect background CPU usage? Did he find/correct any bugs in CM7 that might affect the EVO? Only thing anyone has admitted to this point is that he uses a different launcher. OK, so I use SPB Shell 3D, so does the launcher really affect anything but your home screen(s)?

For me personally, that info is valuable and that's all I'm interested in. It allows us to compare and get a better idea of what to look for WRT to usage. Props to EVERYONE who develops a ROM! I've tried a few now and like a lot of people, I may not settle on any one of them but knowing how they are supposed to differ would be a help in deciding.

Anyone notice terrible USB storage performance when moving files to SD card?

I've got a 16gb Class 10 card and here is what i get when trying to move two roms to my evo via USB.

I'm on Deck's 1.2v rom right now, part of this screenshot is transferring 1.2w over there right now.
[EVO 4G Android Development] dw3bb10:
I just love how whenever theres a CM7 nightly, out pops a new Deck nightly 0_o
[EVO 4G Android Development] mrufino1:
This seems to have worked for me, I will test it out when I go out in 45 minutes. Google nav locked right away for me, it was doing that before but it was losing the lock within a minute, so we'll see. If this works, you are absolutely my hero because I was almost (almost) at the point where I was going to put sense back on the phone. But, I'm too much of an open source software advocate in general to really want to do that. Thanks again and I'll report back hopefully with good news.
[EVO 4G Android Development] icethegreat:
I've had more or less the same stuff but what I do now is gather all my stuff and then boot to recovery and transfer from there, cut out the slower middle man...

lots of trolling lately, don't take it personal. deck has added his own stuff and adds fixes from CM7 that are EVO specific (also removed any other language files that is not English) plus the other things mentioned...its faster than cm7 for me and that's what i want (even though cm7 is awesome and fast already).

TROLL or Conspiracy?! *x files theme song*
[EVO 4G Android Development] Big-O-Devil:
love it :cool:
[EVO 4G Android Development] Biofall:
Um Hello Mr. Tard, AS WAS STATED A BAJILLION TIMES, DECK ADDS CM SUPERSONIC NIGHTLY COMMITS TO THE ROM, BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, HIS ROM IS BASED OFF OF CM7.

I think five more posts like this and I'm done here.
[EVO 4G Android Development] :
There was a long dry spell of CM7 nightlies, but we still had updates from Deck. What's wrong with pulling in changes from CM7 when your ROM is based on CM7, and proper credit was given in OP?

Maybe CM team should close their source. Afterall, the Apache license allows them to do this. :rolleyes:

Every mod I try to flash gives me bootloops how do I get a bat % on this Rom o. Any cm7 Rom
[EVO 4G Android Development] thevumeister:
You can get battery percentage in advanced setting.
[EVO 4G Android Development] atapia984:
Read this please:

I can safely say that the majority of Deck's Gingerbread users like CM7 and that Deck is not trying to steal anyone's thunder. STOP *****ing about it. Please!
[EVO 4G Android Development] Slatter39:
Can we just focus on this rom already!!

Its getting crazy with all these comparisons. This thread is about Decks Rom and nothing else. If you like CM7 i believe there is a thread for it. Lets just concentrate on THIS rom in THIS thread and how to make it better for everyone interested in THIS Rom. GEEZ. Its getting absolutely ridiculous
[EVO 4G Android Development] clshores:
Amen brother!
[EVO 4G Android Development] XsMagical:
Its easy to bash a developer on XDA but is it easy to release any software? Why don't you guys go bash the people building sense roms based off others? Now I know why deck posts more on ppcgeeks.com, because they appreciate what he does, let it be a clone or not.
[EVO 4G Android Development] k2buckley:
Yup, I always do a full wipe. Wiped boot, system, data, cache, dalvik, SD ext, and android secure. I've never had this happen with this rom, not sure yet what the issue is.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Slatter39:
If you are using Amon's recovery, try using viruses superwipe then start all over. i have placed a link below. Lets know how it goes.

[EVO 4G Android Development] k2buckley:
Thanks. Ill give it a go shortly.
[EVO 4G Android Development] allankhouri:
Deck, if you can solve this, you will be my God.

The problem I am having with ALL AOSP roms is that on the EVO you ALL get a generic bluetooth MAC Address. If you go into your settings and about phone and look you will see the last two sets of numbers as "00", "00". The CM7 crew wouldn't even aknowledge the issue and cancelled my problem report.

Now most people wouldnt need to worry about this issue. The problem is my girlfriend and I both have the same phone and we both love AOSP roms and both are cars have built in Bluetooth. The car radios keep getting confused and cannot handle learning both of our phones. And if we are both near the car when it is turned on. Neither phone will connect and I have to resync with the car. This has been so fustrating. I have already tried multiple kernels, and multiple AOSP roms. Only sense based roms seem to show the correct MAC Address.

So please someone out there figure this out by either getting the AOSP to see the real Bluetooth MAC address or allow for a manual manipulation of the number.

Either option would solve our poblems and I will definatly hook up the problem solver with some papal love. Thanks guys!
[EVO 4G Android Development] Slatter39:
I really didnt check that it was k2 that was having issues. Wow, i didnt know experienced users like that have issues. LOL. i really enjoy all your advice and help. Keep it up K2.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ItsDon:
Seems like getting a new girlfriend would fix that right up for ya :D
[EVO 4G Android Development] k2buckley:
LOL, issues can happen to anyone! I still haven't figured out why it wouldn't boot for me. It looks like I'm the only one with the issue, so it's got to be something on my phone that's causing it. I'm going to try downloading the ROM again and try a couple more things, see if I can't get it to boot. I hate being defeated!
[EVO 4G Android Development] hendav:
Yup I agree, definitely upgrade your girlfriend and problem solved ;)
[EVO 4G Android Development] MikeWjF:
If Decks and Cm7 are the same ROM, then why does my EVO hate one and not the other?
[EVO 4G Android Development] k2buckley:
Damn, well no luck with getting 1.2w to boot up for me. Same results the first time I tried, just loops at the bootanimation. I've tried booting with an alternative kernel (GodmodeV9 and SZ), same results. Tried booting without SD card in place, same results. Re downloaded the ROM, reflashed my Amon recovery image, tried booting with the phone plugged into usb, and also unplugged from usb. Made no difference.

I wish I knew more about translating the logcat, but it does look like there are quite a few errors in there. Anyone know what any of that is trying to tell me? haha.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Zac95:
Have you tried installing v and just wiping dalvik and cache. May help if its just ran as an update to an already booting rom.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Zac95:
My evo hates one also. Lol
[EVO 4G Android Development] Biofall:
Have you tried flashing the format all zip beforehand? Or flashing format all, then flashing stable, then w?
[EVO 4G Android Development] k2buckley:
No, I actually didn't try anything other than a full wipe. Perhaps ill try that. V boots up fine for me, but I've been using T. Better battery for me on T.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Slatter39:
That is the spirit. Like that. Lets know how it goes.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Beejis:

[EVO 4G Android Development] Slatter39:
Any one also having issues with w?
[EVO 4G Android Development] justin24:
GPS issue. On turn by turn the navigation icon is frozen same if I look at the map.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Shane Pitman:
Thank you, thank you, thank you! This worked for me on v and again on w, and my GPS works as well as it ever did on any other ROM, Sense or AOSP.

As for ROM issues, I've been running this ROM since, hell, I can't remember, one of the first 1.2 builds. I did a complete wipe of everything prior to installing this ROM. From the initial install through all of the revisions all I've ever done is wipe cache, wipe dalvik, flash the next build, flash gaps, flash kernel (Tiamat 4.0.4 right now), and flash a custom font that I've used for ages, and as of recent, flash the GPS fix mentioned above. Never had a boot loop, never had any strange stuff going on, everything just works. I wish I could give an explanation, so that everyone could have such an easy time with it, but the only thing I can think of is the clean wipe of everything prior to my initial flash.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Chris 2155:
can anyone get titanium backup to load up on the 1.2c? It says root access denied check for rom or busy box... tried loading in the new one still no luck... thoughts?

[EVO 4G Android Development] mac_evo:
Came from 1.0 did a full wipe, wipe of all caches and format all zip. No native wallpapers found on 1.2c, native theme chooser not working. Kind of neat looking - just a black background. Live wallpapers appear to be available but I don't use them....
[EVO 4G Android Development] Lrod0175:
Titanium back up is working fine with me, try downloading the latest superuser app from the market, I notice that the superuser version on the rom is 2.3.6 and the latest is 2.3.6.1

Open the superuser app and double check that your not blocking TB.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Chris 2155:
yeah did all that... still no go... I'm going to re-download and reflash... but without titanium backup I can't use this!!! HELP!!!!

[EVO 4G Android Development] Lrod0175:
Hopefully reflash will solve it for u, make sure u wipe dalvik and cache if you're not doing a full wipe
[EVO 4G Android Development] Lrod0175:
No, this ROM is based on AOSP (Android Open Source Project) gingerbread 2.3.4
[EVO 4G Android Development] stricklerjosh:
What are the differences in 2.3.3 and 2.3.4? I'm loving decks 1.0 and gtalk video is working fine for me on it. Is that the only change?
[EVO 4G Android Development] kwaze:
I'm liking this rom so far. Tried your S3vo rom a while back and liked that one too. Seems like most things work well and very fast with your roms, deck. I do like yours better than the cm7 "stable", which was not stable.

Currently running 1.2b with the cyanogen kernal that was packaged with cm7 and I have 51% battery after 14 hours with above average usage. The only thing that doesn't work perfectly are talk video does not display my video on other persons screen (could be the other device), and the notification pull down bar does not display all of my choices after changing settings. It shows two blank spots where a toggle should be.

Lastly, I like these gingerbread aosp roms, but I miss dialing a person's name in the phone dialer to find them. Anyone know a fix or a good app to get that back?
[EVO 4G Android Development] ItsDon:
Either use Dialer One from the Market or do as I do, simply hit the 'search' button on the phone after bringing up the dialer. Then start dialing, super easy!
[EVO 4G Android Development] ItsDon:
Running 1.2C and it is spectacular so far. Everything works except for USB Tether. Wireless Hotspot works great but for the most part I prefer USB Tethering. Any idea when this might be implemented?
[EVO 4G Android Development] smittycg:
Was going to say the exact same thing, I just wipe dalvik cache, and cache never had a problem with this rom

EVO 4G
[EVO 4G Android Development] shortyboy1987:
can i use clockwork recovery for this rom thanks
[EVO 4G Android Development] knoc:
More than likely. If u run into problems flash the oldest recovery through clock work recovery mod
[EVO 4G Android Development] mrufino1:
Yes, I can confirm now that with this fix, my GPS is the best it has ever been, stock sense included. If I can get the issue with Google navigations voice going silent while music is playing everything will be perfect. Anyone have a clue about that? I've tried every music player on the market, it doesn't do it with double twist or astro player, but everything else no voice (but it dies stop the music and the voice is very very faint). I am wondering if it has to do with players that have folder functionality, because double twist and astro don't. But then again, neither does winamp and there was no voice on that one. Telenav is fine, but the voice volume can't be adjusted relative to the music like Google nav, so that can result in some deafening sound if the song is quiet. Any thoughts?
[EVO 4G Android Development] justin24:
With this GPS flash fix do I have to do a complete or can I just wipe cache and dalvik and flash?
[EVO 4G Android Development] nc_carol:
I generally run CM Nightlies. Would this be something I re-flash anytime I update my ROM to a newer nightly?
[EVO 4G Android Development] shortarm:
You can just flash.
[EVO 4G Android Development] shortarm:
Yes, you will need to. It overwrites the CM GPS drivers.
[EVO 4G Android Development] shortarm:
This is awesome. I have been testing it out for a handful of trips now and have had no issues!!!!!!!!

I've tried all the other fixes out there. This is the only one that works for me for more than an hour.

Much respect to galandy.

Anyone having any real issues with this?

Deck should incorporate this into rom.

Hey guys my wife just got an evo that needs to be freed from sense and this looks like the best aosp rom to me..

How is the stability? She isn't technical and neither of us want me to be screwing with her phone all the time.

Does everything work? GPS, wifi tether, etc. Any bugs I should know about? Like incoming call lag, freezing, etc.

Thanks!
[EVO 4G Android Development] marcusva79:
Everything works great on decks rom. I just put this on my wife's phone and I haven't gotten any complaints from her. Tether and wifi work great. Search for the GPS fix in this thread ans you will be good to go :)
