Camera effects not working

Did anyone ever figure this out. I am still not able to get any of the effects like dots or distortion.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ageesm:
It isn't going to happen. Anyone that has any influence over it (including the Justice Dept) has said it will limit competition and violates anti-trust laws.
[EVO 4G Android Development] rpwhite3:
I asked the same question, and the answer is some of the affects don't work. I do love the panoramic view though that is sweet... I am sure over time as things get moved to sense3+ they will come...

Yes I would love to try the dots one, that looks neat for sure...

All good things come to those that wait.. right.. ;)

Yeah and I'd like to know how the DOJ came to their conclusion as well as see some supporting documents, cases, etcetera.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ageesm:
Hey I'm right with you there. I'm not saying I agree or disagree, or that they should really be commenting at all, but just pointing out it doesn't have much support.

I just tried to flash the new radios with the new Clockwork recovery (5.0.1.0)and it didn't work. Tried it a second time and it still didn't work. Switched back to Amon RA v2.3 and it worked fine the first time.
[EVO 4G Android Development] marvinlh:
For some reason, when i recieve a text message, it dosent come through on go SMS or the stock messaging app, the only app that i recieve the messages in is Google voice and even when i disable it, i still don't receive it in the other messaging app.
[EVO 4G Android Development] fiddy619:
Thanks for the reply, I think I jacked it up by trying to do the update from the AOSP/sense 3.0 ROM, can't remember the name right now, first, as that is where the problem started... So finally I ended up calling sprint, and while they were telling me to pull my battery and such I was flashing the ROM, then once I got it booted, sprint had pushed the update to my phone, which just kept looping on connecting to server, and the 1012 error. What a pita, so I told them it was doing that and they they told me to pull the battery again, so I again rebooted to recovery, and wiped, and flashed synergy, and this time once it booted, I was able to update PRL, and data profile, and the sprint rep then gave me some BS story as to why that happened... lol

Swyped from my CM-CeEvO

Just curious as to what kernal people are running with this ROM?

I'm getting a TON of lag, on everything from games, to browsing, to just flipping through home screens.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Lord Darth Vader:
Same here, and my cache is cleaned every hour automatically, so that's not the issue.
[EVO 4G Android Development] tang12:
Are you running godmode? If urs, try nongodmode. Many have reported that godmode gives them lots of lag. Im using rls1 non-gmode and just flashed chopsuey v9.2.6, before o came from lithids freedom v0.8 aggressive.

sent from OG evo w/ synergy rls1
[EVO 4G Android Development] saj1jr:
I know, but I hate to switch over to non-god mode. I finally have my apps back on the phone and everything setup how I like it.

Is there a way to switch to non god mode without losing everything and starting over?

The performance with god mode is amazing - best I've had out of any ROM to be honest, especially the battery life.

Too bad the lag sucks.
[EVO 4G Android Development] tang12:
If u lag then u obviously don't have good performance 0.o Don't judge performance by Quadrant scores....especially if u lag like crazy

sent from OG evo w/ synergy rls1
[EVO 4G Android Development] ageesm:
This is a contradictory statement. It is frustrating if you have everything setup already, but there really is no other way. The filesystem is just so different with GodMode.

Dl " gingerbread ghostly sms " from market and you wont miss any more messages :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] marvinlh:
I have that also and its empty, so I'm guessing it has to do with Google voice bcuz when i sign out of the Google voice app, my messages come to go SMS. I was hoping i could stay signed into Google voice to use it to manage my voicemail, i don't want it to control my text messaging
[EVO 4G Android Development] life:
easiest way is to make a nandroid and then wipe everything and flash non-godmode, OR if you have titanium backup, go and see if there are any system apps that you dont use, like stocks or news, or bookmarks, or twitter or animated wallpapers, streak wallpapers, smoke wallpapers, music visualizations wallpapers, or whatever you dont use, uninstall them see if you cant free up some system ram. im betting when in titanium backup your system ram is in the single digits. making it lag.

try to search next time......http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=17172081&postcount=16803

go into google voice, and see if there is a setting for forwarding text messages to google voice and un-click it, see if that helps its been awhile since i used google voice but it should be there at least on the web not sure if its in the app.
[EVO 4G Android Development] DRatJr:
Ok just installed this rom with godmode, and phone is lagging. Any ideas why?
[EVO 4G Android Development] sswestberry08:
DO A LITTLE READING!!!

GM lags on around 70% of peoples phones... no fixes for it download non GM and flash that should fix your lag problem
[EVO 4G Android Development] Lord Darth Vader:
Yeah, it's because you installed it with god mode. I had the exact same problem, so I started from scratch, wiped everything 3 times, and then reflashed it without god mode. I also flashed the new chopsuey kernel. What a difference! I no longer have any lagging issues.
[EVO 4G Android Development] DRatJr:
Why would GM lag 70% of phones?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Lord Darth Vader:
Who knows? It just does. Redo it without god mode this time and you'll be fine.
[EVO 4G Android Development] DRatJr:
Idk, sometimes its lagging, others it isnt
[EVO 4G Android Development] obscurehaven:
This is a random video question. I was shooting 720p video this weekend but I noticed that the audio would lag pretty bad on playback. Anyone else have this problem or a fix for this? I haven't tried shooting in lower or in different format but I'm assuming its all the same.
[EVO 4G Android Development] hawkman610:
Are you running Godmode? I had that problem when I was using GM. I haven't had that problem since I switched back to non Godmode.
[EVO 4G Android Development] todivefor:
Those with lag problems may want to flash dta2sd and put dalvik cache on internal first. The synergy a2sd puts dalvik on SD-ext. Can cause phone to lag if you aren't on a fast sdcard.
[EVO 4G Android Development] wallaceb:
Greetings!

i flashed the ROM over the weekend. i also installed DTA2SD and changed the settings so my apps ran off the internal memory, and my dalvik ran from cache and not SD.

i flashed the theme from here:http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1147774

everything installed fine and i got all my apps installed without issues.

what i later noticed however was that my battery life was terrible. i figured it was because of the time i was spending playing with the phone. then i realized i ran out of space on my SD card. i should have had 600 Mb of space available.

i looked through the SD card and when i opened my "SD Card/Download" folder, there were over 5000 files and nearly 600 MB of data in the folder. before i flashed the ROM the folder was empty.

i realized that the files were the attachments to my hotmail e-mail used by the mail app. what seemed to be happening was that the mail app was re-downloading a new copy of all the attachments every time it synced. each time it synced it tacked on a date/time stamp to the end of the file name. the constant downloading of 600 Mb of data was what was killing my battery.

if i turned the mail app off and made it so it did not sync on its own my battery life was fine.

does anyone know what was going on? i restored my nand backup to Mikfroyo, but made a backup of Synergy so i can go back easily once i figure out what was happening.

EDIT:

I have restored the backup of Synergy and will be trying K-9 Mail for my e-mail client over thew stock e-mail and i will let you know if that fixes my issue with battery life.
[EVO 4G Android Development] treedog5:
well guys after 3 weeks on stock kernel and getting what i considered pretty good battery life, something happened that i couldnt figure out and my battery life went down hill. so i decided to switch kernels and go with golden monkey v1. and wow, this really went downhill. this is screen shots of phone after being on charger all nite, and i know the display is high because of being on charge. but all i did was use gtalk for a little while, nothing else.:eek:
[EVO 4G Android Development] Asulli:
Battery Life

I've had pretty much the same experience. I haven't had good battery life since flashing and I'm using the stock kernel. But I like the rom and I don't want to give it up. I've been living near a charger because of it. Yesterday I played golf and between 12:30-6:00 PM, I went from 95% to 14%. I've been averaging about 10-12% discharge an hour.

Hoping there's a kernel to flash soon or something, because I don't want to have to switch to a different ROM.
[EVO 4G Android Development] NxNW:
Something's not right, and a different kernel is not required to fix it. I can play a round of golf and see 0% drop in airplane mode, or at most a 25% drop if I leave everything on, ie mobile data, wifi, Bluetooth and GPS. (A course that gets very poor cell reception may burn more battery than that, mind you.)

Then again, if I am using a poorly-written GPS-enabled golf distance-finder app that has a bad wakelock problem I can pretty much destroy a fully-charged battery in a single round.

Look for an app or sync setting or something. It is definitely possible for a stock kernel to give better battery life than what you are reporting, even on a golf course in the middle of nowhere.
[EVO 4G Android Development] wallaceb:
i do have an update from my previous post. now that i am not using the stock mail app and am using K-9 instead, my battery life has been great. it has been dropping around 1% or less per hour depending on how much i have been checking e-mail.

Asulli, are you using the stock e-mail app?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Azyure:
In all honesty, try out Lithid's Freedom kernel. I had the same results flashing Golden Monkey and witht he Stock, and after switching, then conditioning my battery, I was getting some of the best battery life this side of SenseUI. It can definitely make a positive change for some handsets. For some reason, netarchy's kernel this time around has been causing some pretty wonky results in some user's experiences.
[EVO 4G Android Development] peperonikiller:
After 4 hours I went from 100% down to 4%

I figured out that my calender from my exchange account was syncing over and over again non-stop.

I do not know if it's messed up security settings on our exchange server or something with the rom, but this might be an issue to look in to.

So now I'm switching from god mode to normal and will report back.
[EVO 4G Android Development] KingRedHot:

I'm using a 16GB class 10 card. I flashed chopsuey as my kernel, and the only lag I now experience, and a minor one at that, is when I exit an app and go back to the home screen.
[EVO 4G Android Development] subliminal1284:
I love this rom but the battery life is horrible, this is a brand new EVO and I have charged the battery a couple times now on this Rom but I am still getting a battery drain of about 1% every minute. I can literally watch the battery continuously decline as I use it. If there isn't a fix I may have to go back to cm7 even though 720 p doesn't work on cm7

That's crazy, I always had great life. Is the new radio affecting anyone?
[EVO 4G Android Development] peperonikiller:
Look into how your phone sync's. a lot of people have been having issues lately with this rom's Sense mail client. Check to make sure if you have it on PUSH mail that it's not syncing constantly
[EVO 4G Android Development] Asulli:
Battery Life

No I don't use the stock email app. Only Gmail. The only new app I have is ESPN Fantasy Football. I don't have any other apps that are running or syncing but I will check to see how often my calendar and Gmail accounts are syncing. Maybe I'll have to switch them to manual or something.

I've flashed tons of roms and kernels and never had this bad of a battery life. Especially with conditioning. When I have more time I will tinker with it and see if I can figure it out.

As far as playing golf. I wasn't even using it as a GPS range finder :) It wouldn't have made it past the turn if I did that! I take it off the charger and it drops 2% in seconds if I'm not home on Wifi.... I'm going to have have to do some serious app checking.
[EVO 4G Android Development] peperonikiller:
I also use Lithid's Freedom kernel. A lot of people suggest it. The stock one wasn't too bad either and to be honest the standby time of this rom compared to any sense rom is superior, I can go a whole 8 hours in standby only using about 1% of battery
[EVO 4G Android Development] NasTraDooMis:
I'm on the stock kernel and using juice defender, i unplugged at 6:15am and its now 2:35 and i am at 80%. Me phone has mostly been idle all day except for about 10 minutes on the web, no calls or text . My radios are the old 1.77 prl and pri . But i think juice defender is not turning on me radios/data like it should. Like earlier when i went to use the web i was getting no data connections, i had to turn on airplane mode and the turn it back off for me data to turn back on. Always on data is checked too.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ruckstande:
Not sure what happened. Phone has been on USB charging via pc all day and not charging well. If I unplug the battery level plummets. This just started happening.

Change Music Tracks with Volume Rocker

Anyone know if Synergy has this ability I've got PowerAMP (paid version) and the music player that comes on Synergy. Just want to use volume rocker to skip tracks in while in the car.

Had it with my CM7, but I want to stay on Synergy.
[EVO 4G Android Development] peperonikiller:
That's a CM7/Evo Deck rom feature.

I do not know if PowerAMP has that feature but the stock HTC music player in Synergy does not.
[EVO 4G Android Development] subliminal1284:
I really hope the developers get these battery issues fixed, this is the best rom besides cm7 thathat I've used
[EVO 4G Android Development] Journeyman83:
Well, the apps themselves don't have that functionality. Did some more reading on the thread...Someone else made the same comment and Myn mentioned having that feature in Warm 2point3 or which ever one is next to be released.

So, I will patiently wait. If Synergy is evidence of the work he can do, I am content to wait.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ageesm:
There are no inherent battery issues with the rom itself.

Any battery issue is with one's own setup. Whether that is a rogue app, some radio incompatibility, or an kernel that doesn't like your hardware is up to you to discover. Using a port and version of Sense that was never created to run on the Evo typically takes a bit more work to get running properly ;).
[EVO 4G Android Development] subliminal1284:
I was getting the battery drain with no apps installed besides what comes with the Rom. I did a full wipe before installing the Rom and I am running the latest radios. I have never flashed any kernels just roms themselves. What else can I do?
[EVO 4G Android Development] resonance77:
Try recalibrating the battery; charge to 100%, wipe battery stats, run down to 0% until shuts off, then charge back to 100% before turning back on.

Check for wake lock, if your up time is the same or close to the same as your awake time, look for a rouge app that is always using cpu time in the background.

Try freezing apps one at a time with Titanium Backup, starting with ones that sync, until you find what is sucking on your battery.
[EVO 4G Android Development] saj1jr:
I need major help!

Is there anyway I can throw something onto the SD card of my phone via my computer while in recovery on the phone?

I downloaded the wrong version of the ROM, already wiped things, and forgot to do a backup. Aside from that, the recovery won't run my old restore I have on the phone.

All I want to do is add the new zip file to the phone while in recovery. I can't boot up because the phone is completely wiped.
[EVO 4G Android Development] saj1jr:
Nevermind, found my little SD card converter so I was able to plug it right into my laptop and add another ROM.

I just assumed the Synergy dload was for the Evo, when it's actually for the Incredible :(
[EVO 4G Android Development] AaronM7:
This was posted about 10 pages back, and looks pretty nice. I didn't see any response to the query, so I'll bump it. I personally think it looks pretty slick, and wouldn't mind running it myself.

This is what I know for the reasoning for the DOJ getting involved. It concerns an internal document that made its way out that shows that AT&T was being less than truthful about the reasons for the merger... http://www.dslreports.com/shownews/Leaked-ATT-Letter-Demolishes-Case-For-TMobile-Merger-115652

I'm not quite sure about the Sprint tech support hierarchy, but I do know that when I was on T-Mo, the tier 1 tech support might as well have been a bunch of high school drop outs with scripts in front of them as well. I did, however, find that the tier 3 tech support were actually people who owned the type of devices I was calling about, and most likely were not running the stock OS. Like I said though, not sure how sprint has their tech support set up, as I haven't called them for anything regarding my phone since rooting it. The boards here are much more knowledgeable in regards to the things I need to know anyway.

From my limited understanding of electronics and their components, even the most stringent QC and tolerances will still not create 100% identical devices, which is why some of us are able to overclock, whereas others aren't. When a company decides on what their clock speed on any particular chip will be, they run a large number of them through a battery of tests at different core speeds. Some will perform at a higher clock than the others, and they just find out what the highest core speed that all of them will perform at consistently, dial it back a few ticks for a safety buffer, and then, POW, list it as a 1Ghz proc.

The same differences apply to all aspects of these phones, but when the devs cook up our custom roms, they don't have nearly enough phones to test on to be able to guarantee 100% compatibility on all phones.

Another thing you can do is download an app called Battery Calibration (https://market.android.com/details?id=com.nema.batterycalibration). It's what I use to calibrate my battery after any new kernel, rom, or mod flash.

If you use Amon_Ra, you can select USB-MS toggle to enable transfer of files, or you can pull your micro SD, attach it to a dongle or other adapter, and put the files on directly.
[EVO 4G Android Development] AaronM7:
Good to hear, I guess between when you posted and when I replied, you came to the same conclusion as me! Great minds think alike, ya know...
[EVO 4G Android Development] saj1jr:
I did some searching, but couldn't find anything really good...

How can I free up some memory? I'm averaging like 330/400mb used.

I hardly have anything on here. I literally just rooted and installed this ROM.

[EVO 4G Android Development] treedog5:
1. Back up the contents of your SD card because this procedure will erase EVERYTHING on it.

2. Boot into recovery, specifically, amonRA v2.3 and then select 'partition sdcard'.

3. When prompted, enter zero for the SWAP size, 1024 for the ext2 size and the rest for FAT.

4. After the process is complete, select 'upgrade ext2 to ext3'

5. When finished, go to amonRA's wipe menu and wipe EVERYTHING in it, including the SD card.

6. mount sd to computer.

7. Transfer RLS-1 to your SD card and flash it.

8. Be patient during the initial boot process because you will appear to hang at both the initial boot screen AND the Synergy splash screen.

BT issues with new radio?

I've noticed some odd behavior the last few days since I flashed the latest radio (2.15.00.08.08). When I turn my car off and get out of my car with bluetooth on (hand free in car connected) and then try to make a call, I cant hear anything. The call connects apparently, but I can not hear anything on the phone, no dial tone, no voice, nothing. I have to restart the phone. It seems to be an issue with BT being connected when I kill the car and get out. BT is still on, but I hear nothing when I make a call outside the car. It wont restore when I turn off BT either. Must restart.

I NEVER noticed this before running the prior radio 2.15.00.05.02 with Synergy RLS1 and Freedom 0.8.5 Aggressive. I did wipe cache and dalvik BEFORE I flashed the radio for good measure. As I have NOT noticed this prior to 08.08 radio update, I feel it may be the culprit rather than the kernel. I was hoping to see others who noticed this or get some feedback. Can anyone else replicate?
