Scott, some were saying they could not call *2 to contact Sprint, so I decided to try it this morning and the same issue with mine, when I try *2 and hit call it force closes.
[HTC EVO 3D] stylz3:
You need to install sprint zone app. download it using the ROM updater or find apk/zip file
[HTC EVO 3D] mikeyxda:
Weekend is almost here. Do I smell something cooking? :D

Mike
[HTC EVO 3D] Scott:
Don, yes. Thats correct. And you have two options...

Dial #2 instead or install the Sprint Zone APK from ROM Updater.

Yep!

Maybe. I am gathering my thoughts on enhancements / fixes... Not to mention I dont go back to work until Wednesday.

I got to get the Optimus stuff updated first though... That will take a few hours... Then I can start thinking about what I need to do for 2.7.5 or maybe 2.8. Depends on the level of change.

Open to any and all suggestions right now... Open to listening to them, not necessarily implemtning them :eek:
[HTC EVO 3D] DJB628:
Thanks Scott, already downloaded it with the Rom Updater, did not install it yet, as I am glad you mentioned that we can reach them by #2, that is all I need, thanks again
[HTC EVO 3D] divedr:
Scott, thank you so much for the response and the excellent ROM. No of course I did not make a backup, I'm an idiot, why would you even ask such a question!? That being said if I flash a stock ROM via the same method I used to flash the most excellent CleanROM 2.7 would that restore a stock kernel?

And yes thanks have been deservedly given!

Best,

DiveDr
[HTC EVO 3D] Scott:
Ummm... Whats going on?

Before you go flashing a stock ROM tell me what current state you are now?
[HTC EVO 3D] epikphone:
Installed CleanROM about 4 days ago...I'm not able to get the same battery time (24+ hours) as you, Scott. My phone died at around 13 hours of light to moderate usage.

Phone signal is usually pretty consistent in my area, however I was connected via 1X instead of 3G for about 20 minutes earlier today. When looking at battery usage versus screen on time, it shows some blue blips where the phone is awake but the screen is off. Investigation using BetterBatteryStats shows the only wakelocks as AndroidLaunchManager for about 20 minutes and Google Voice for 15 minutes. Auto-sync has been turned off but background data is enabled since the Market app requires it.

The only apps I've installed are: 1) Dolphin Mini Browser, which still hasn't been used, 2) Handcent SMS, 3) an alarm program that ran 2 times in the morning, 3) Google Voice, and 4) BetterBatteryStats. Otherwise, everything is stock. The first night I flashed the ROM, I charged to 99% since I can never get it to 100% and then used a Battery Calibration app to calibrate the battery. No other mods or customizations have been done.

Any advice you can give me? Do the PRI and radio versions have any effect on battery life?

I'm not a naysayer and doubting that incredible battery times can be achieved -- I'm just wondering what I'm doing wrong.

Let me know if you need any other info.

Thanks.
[HTC EVO 3D] jhuff83:
I'm getting a ton of these errors on this rom and its quite annoying. Anyone else?
[HTC EVO 3D] Scott:
IMHO the "battery calibration" app is not a great thing to use. I dont recommend them. Its much more efficient to let you battery go all the way down to 1% or 0% then power down the phone and let it charge until the LED is green. If you do that once a week (despite what other "arm chair battery experts" tell you) you will have great battery life.

I dont think you are syncing that much but I am also not familiar with all of those apps so I invite others to chime on this one... Although I have "heard" Handcent can kill battery. But I honestly dont know, its just what I have heard others post.

And BTW, 13 hours is not bat at all ;)

Look at your own screenshot and that will answer your question...

You are not connected to Sprint. You are dropping your data connection for some reason. My gut reaction is it has something to do with them playing with the network on the Nov 1. When did this start happening? I am assuming on or after Nov 1st?

How do I know this?

1. It tells you on your error message

2. You have no 3G / 4G signal indicating that you are connected to Sprint.

Just need to figure out why you are not connecting. That is generally not an issue with the ROM but more of a carrier issue.
[HTC EVO 3D] jhuff83:
Yea figured it was carrier issues. I received that service update but that damn message keeps popping up. Might need to give them a call and let them know. It's extremely annoying.
[HTC EVO 3D] Scott:
Oh, I know man! I have an Optimus S that I do ROMS for and it has no service so I get constant messages similar to that when I make ROMS for it. I have to go into airplane mode to get them to stop. Obviously that is not an option for you.

Can you try to get a signal then update PRL / Profile? That might help.
[HTC EVO 3D] hitman4274:
I gave that response, and you should always back up everything you do.

Are you just trying to get the stock kernal? Or trying to flash the whole rom back?

From post I would guess cleanrom2.7 running.

Shot from my shooter in 3D

injected with cleanrom2.7
[HTC EVO 3D] jbermi:
update your profile then the PRL in settings, that should fix that issue.
[HTC EVO 3D] divedr:
I know you did give the response and thanks! I was just wondering how to go back to a stock ROM and kernel if there was a need. Recently I had to restore a factory config as I screwed with some things in QPST that resulted in no service. I flashed back to a stock ROM in CWM Recovery but the 3G and WiFi wer not working due to the kernel issue. The stock kernel did not overwrite the Clean ROM 2.7 kernel. I don't remember exactly what I did but I did manage to get everything back on 2.7 running fine.

I gather from your previous post thet the procedure to revert to stock would be to flash the stock ROM from fastboot usb via cmd to cwm recovery off the computer and that should restore a stock kernel, is that correct?

Thanks again!
[HTC EVO 3D] Scott:
Ok, Now I am answering... :D

Ok, if you ever need to return to 100% bone stock then yes, you would flash the boot.img (kernel) like you would for a custom ROM. Then flash an odex version of the ROM. You may even be able to flash a system.img but I dont know for a fact because I have hboot 1.4. I can always make you a quick pure stock flashable custom ROM if that ever needs to be the case. (Does that even make sense?)

I helped many a person get back to stock. Just let us / me know if that day ever comes.
[HTC EVO 3D] divedr:
Okay, not quote sure I understand here. How do I flash the boot.img and where do I get a stock one to flash? Thanks!

Another stupid question. On clean ROM 2.7 cannot get camera to record in mp4 video format. Reads as set in settings but still records in 3gp. Tried uninstall-reinstall via Titanium and cleared dalvik as well, no luck. Any suggestions?
[HTC EVO 3D] Fedway:
I received that message on a recent trip to Los Angeles. Never saw it before I got off the plane there. I called sprint, they made a settings change of some sort (the didn't indicated exactly what they did) and after a restart, all was well.
[HTC EVO 3D] epikphone:
Thanks for the info. I let the battery drain last night until the phone turned off and then charged it full (99%).

I've since uninstalled Handcent SMS since I saw it was causing partial wakelocks.

Uptime is 13 hours with 29% left on the battery. Handcent SMS was uninstalled about 10 hours into this run...I hope to get my tweaks and applications just right to get at least 18 hours out of this sucker! :)
[HTC EVO 3D] mikeyxda:
The weekend is waning... and nothing to flash...

Waaaaaaaaah. :(

:D

Mike
[HTC EVO 3D] Scott:
Well... If you had an Optimus S you could flash some new stuff!

But the 3D, no :(

I just dont know where to go from here. The ROM is fast, stable and clean. IM out of ideas. Obviously I could put out a new version with updated apps but... Anyone can update the apps via Market... If you got any suggestions, that keep the ROM *CLEAN* then go ahead and post them.

I was thinking about going back to a 100% stock task bar. But other than that... IDK.
[HTC EVO 3D] mikeyxda:
Me personally, I was just looking for the latest HTC update. The 2.08.651.3. The current ROM is based on 2.08.651.2, right? Not even sure what is in the latest but I presume we should have it?

Mike
[HTC EVO 3D] Scott:
No, not really. I dont find it an important update... Here is why...

The 2.08.651.3 update fixes security in the HTC spyware. Well, if the spyware is disabled / removed then there is no security concern to address with the patch.

If the 2.08.651.3 patch added something or improved upon something, and AFAIK it doesnt do anything other than this fix for spyware, its not worthwhile to rebuild a ROM for such a minor update.
[HTC EVO 3D] epikphone:
Can the 2.08.651.3 patch be implemented via the ROM Updater rather than a whole ROM rebuild?

Like what you can find from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1223979 ?
[HTC EVO 3D] mikeyxda:
I kinda suspected that, but since I don't think there was ever an official release notes for this update, have the files been compared to see if that's truly the case? Do we know for sure they didn't put in a minor bug fix here and there or improved the camera shutter lag, etc.? Sometimes they slip stuff in like that even if there are release notes and they are not listed. A file compare should tell us which APK's got changed, right? Just wondering if any of the devs had done that.

Mike
[HTC EVO 3D] jbermi:
there really is nothing in that update worth rebuilding a ROM for...especially since we already ave the offending code removed already, and if you are using TrevE's app, your phone is clean of spyware. and as far as I have read, there were no other changes.

I don't see another software upgrade for the 3D til ICS, unless they want to give us sense 3.5 before that....and to be honest I am curious as how they are going to mesh ICS and Sense, the new features of ICS are very sense like and skinning it with sense would seem like a bad idea. but won't know until HTC lets the rabbit out of the hat.
[HTC EVO 3D] divedr:
Yep, that day has come.. I need to get back to stock. If that's possible please give me a hand!
[HTC EVO 3D] Scott:
I dont understand why you are linking to the xhause ROM thread :confused: That's 2.08.651.2 and that is what this ROM is based on already.

I examined the update closely the day it was released and found nothing new, nothing exciting, nothing worth anything. I dont need to do any file compares as I have the exact files that are changed, the delta to the files, etc. Its all in the update.zip.

Its only a security patch to remove a hole in the spyware.

The release notes are here: http://community.sprint.com/baw/com...og/2011/06/27/htc-evo-3d-maintenance-releases

Thats exactly what I am saying. "Updating" to this build is actually taking a step backwards.

This update will re-inject ALL of the spyware but it wont have the security hole it has now. So basically I would update the ROM, remove the spyware, and it would be almost identical to what we have now.

I hope that explains it a little better.

Send me a PM with the following info:

1. hboot version

2. Recovery version

3. Baseband

4. Current ROM

[HTC EVO 3D] codito:
You should try porting the rotation animation from Sense 3.5, that's the only thing Sense 3 needs to be perfect IMO.
[HTC EVO 3D] hawkman610:
Had a goofy problem again tonight. This has happened 3 times now.

When the screen was off after sitting for a while. Maybe a hour or so??? I hit the power button to wake up the phone. The phone wouldn't wake up. I know it was on because the LED notification was flashing for an email. The first time this happened the phone responded again after a couple minutes. Tonight and the previous time I had to pull the battery.

I live your ROMs, but I thin 2.6 was more stable. Just FYI as I'm not real sure what was tweeked between the two. I know I posted a couple other issues shortly after 2.7 was released. The screen dimming problem self corrected somehow. Just thought I mention it since you mentioned an update in the coming days.

Also, I have been wiping Delvik/Cashe every so often. I had to do that when things would slow down on the synergy ROM I used when I had the original EVO. Seems to make a difference with this ROM as well when things slow and a reboot doesn't help.
[HTC EVO 3D] hawkman610:
I really like the current task bar.

Not sure if you can do it, but is there a way to have the band/song on the navigation bar when using Pandora? I drive a patrol car for 8-10 hours a night 5-6 nights a week. Seeing the name of the song while in car mode would be excellent!

Maybe a quick to WiFi Tether in the quick settings menu in the navigation bar pull down? I just don't like taking the phone out of the dock all the time to use WiFi tether while in the car.

Just some ideas that I have no idea if they are even possible.
[HTC EVO 3D] Scott:
No... I think that would be more effort than its worth. Not for this ROM anyways. Maybe in the Dev Series.

Im starting to think that some phones don't play nice with the bcblend kernel or the tweaks I put in. Not sure. I think that for the most part, the ROM is pretty stable and if you see issues they are generally one-off situations. One off sitations bug me the most. Big issues are easy to find and fix. Little wierd things tha tonly happen once every couple days are very hard to find and fix :mad:

I plan on pulling the kernel back to the one used in 2.6 (mwalt stock dimmed) and removing the tweaks. That will put the ROM back to 2.6 then update from there.

Might start working on it sometime tomorrow.

As far as the task bar... I am starting to get sick of seeing the battery percent. I like the stock battery better. Maybe I am just looking for change. Hard to say. Preference change over time ;)

So my ROM is used in the course of enforcing the law? Very cool!
[HTC EVO 3D] divedr:
Camera difficulties....

Thanks to Scott was able to sort out issues with 4G and WiFi. On clean ROM 2.7 and having serious camera difficulties. 2D video recording set to 1080P and blank screen, no video. 3D Video settings for bitrate and file format do nothing at all, video is locked in 3gp format with standard bitrates. Is anyone else experiencing this and is there a fix for this? It is completely reproducable for me (unfortunately) have tried to flash cleanly (HBOOT 1.5 via fastboot into recovery) no luck! Wiped the cache and dalvik, no go...:( Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!
[HTC EVO 3D] Saneless One:
That might be a good idea. I was having issues with 2.7, and then 1.2DE, and I have no idea what was going on. It would lag. Music would pause on almost every song for 1-2 seconds. Sometimes the capacitative buttons would be delayed.

I had a good experience with the Rom starting from back in the 1x days, so I was wondering what was up. Then when I went to delete the 00maxcpu tweak I saw all the other init.d scripts in there. RAM, SD Card, Kernel, etc. Then I checked out Cyanogenmod and noticed that the only init.d scripts in there were basic things like mounting the /ext partition and nothing related to performance, and I definitely didn't have these issues on CM.

So, I removed all the init.d scripts and things were magically, instantly better. I haven't had audio pauses. I haven't had hung screens/buttons. It runs snappier and smoother. It hasn't gotten randomly warm since.

Then I went back and looked at your 2.5 ROM and it only had zipalign. Maybe not ALL the scripts are bad, but the ones in 2.7 certainly seem to make things worse than help. IMO if the tweaks were that great they'd already be in the OS, and I don't think that they actually have beneficial results.

So, anyone having issues, I say go and delete the /system/etc/init.d scripts (back them up if you want) and see if that helps. It's made things MUCH better for me to just run things as is. The kernel seems ok too, but I'm definitely not opposed to running stock because again, I trust HTC has tested their own kernel with their own hardware more than anyone else has tested their little hobby kernel.

I like the % and I think the segmented battery you have as a flash is the best I've ever seen
[HTC EVO 3D] saboxerman:
Scott, I'm sure eventually something will arise, but, I know what you are talking about. I thought 2.4 was good 'nuff and that's why I stuck with it for so long. I finally went to DE 1.2 and now to CleanROM 2.7. Your work is impeccable and you are the Leonardo of the Evo 3D.

I think the only thing that can really be done at this point is if there are any significant updates from Sprint and/or HTC for the phone OR possibly a future port of Android 4.0 with or without Sense.
[HTC EVO 3D] sparhawk6:
Scott, is it safe to flash mwalt on 2.7? Might that improve our stability?
[HTC EVO 3D] SPreston2001:
Does anybody have a link to the 2.5 SP1? I too was having problems with 2.7 locking up and boot loops but 2.5 has always been rock solid for me. Were you ever able to get Beats audio and CRT animations working together Scott?
[HTC EVO 3D] Scott:
Aahh... Ok. That's a very interesting perspective you have. Whats the difference between a hobby kernel and a hobby ROM?

Thanks!

Also, Sprint announced they are going to do an ICS ROM for the 3D.

Yes, that would be perfectly safe.

No way to get them integrated. Well, I haven't anyways. It can be done. Just not that big of a priority.

2.5 SP1 or 2.6 SP1?
[HTC EVO 3D] Saneless One:
Basically what I mean by hobby kernel is that it's not someone's job to build and test these things for a manufacturer. They're taking the source code, changing some things, playing around, but they're not running it through a full QA channel through a company. Don't get me wrong, I'm glad people are doing it but I just think there's a greater chance of something being done that might not have perfect results.

Same with ROMs. They're all hobbies too. I mean, you don't work for HTC or Sprint, so this is a hobby. Doesn't make it any less cool, and again, the ability to customize it is what makes them special. But also like kernels, the ability to put something in that may not have the desired results can happen. But that's what all these threads are about, right?

I was just putting out my experience in case it helped someone achieve a more stable phone, since obviously the scripts weren't there in earlier versions and things still work without them.. just get rid of them and see if it helps you. It helped me.

Also, don't think I don't appreciate what you're doing, I do. I'd go back to stock if I didn't.
[HTC EVO 3D] Scott:
Ok, thanks for clarifying. I appreciate you taking the time to do that. Your prior comment could easily been taken as a bash against all the people that work hard to make these phones what they are :eek:

With that being said, I agree that the scripts could be causing the issue as well as possibly the kernel. Unfortunately I did not vet them in stages. I added them simultaneously and cannot pin point the exact cause of some peoples angst. Therefore I have just finished CleanROM 2.8. It reverts back to the 2.5 Base then gets rebuilt without the scripts or the bcblend kernel.

Most people feel that CR 2.5 has been the most stable version due to its lack of kernel mod and tweaks. I sorta agree. Not from my own personal experience but from feedback I receive. My own personal experience tells me that the issues reported are one off situations that I can never replicate. These issues were never present on 2.5 so... It would only make sense that reverting to 2.5 and then updating all the apps from there would resolve these issues. The kernel and tweaks can be added in via ROM updater or any other method the user chooses.

Thoughts any one?
[HTC EVO 3D] SPreston2001:
Sounds like a good idea Scott. I have been running 2.5 since the day you uploaded it (minus a few days running 2.7) and it has never given me any problems! I'm a 1.5 hboot user so maybe that has something to do with my 2.7 issues, but like you said they didn't exist with 2.5 so reverting back and leaving the tweaks available via updater seems like a win/win. I know u fixed the picture frame widget and some others things in 2.5 SP1 so as long as those fixes are present in 2.8 you will have a pretty much flawless ROM my friend! I really can't think of anything else to change. Is tv out via headphone jack do'able? Or would it be possible to somehow include the stock HTC keyboard with the navigation arrows from the OG EVO 4G or maybe incorporate the HTC keyboard mod that allows you to use the volume + - rocker to navigate the keyboard cursor? I hate not being able to navigate the cursor without manually tapping on the screen. Besides that I really don't see anything else could could be incorporated without messing up the stock feel. You build some fantastic ROMs Scott.
[HTC EVO 3D] Saneless One:
That sounds great.

No, I'm not really bashing as much as I'm just wondering what goes into just creating tweaks that don't seem to have a ton of discussion around them. Like why is x set to y value or what's wrong with the value that is built into the kernel in the first place? Those sorts of things. I like that people are trying to mess around with things but I'm of the type that likes to fix issues if they exist, not try to push things further just for the sake of doing it.

I'm all for going crazy on desktops and such but on this phone, with its power 95% a battery, and needing it to actually do things like make and receive calls, stability is more important to me :) If there's issues that can be fixed with tweaks, cool. But until there's a real issue with RAM and SDCard speed etc, I don't want to mess with it unless there's a nice discussion and reasoning around what's being changed.
[HTC EVO 3D] sparhawk6:
Sounds good. Thanks.

Scott noticed your Rom Updater says new update, but still shows 2.7
[HTC EVO 3D] Scott:
Try again.
[HTC EVO 3D] reverepats:
Hey Scott thanks for the Update man...lemme ask ya something. I know its gonna sound stupid but imma ask anyway LOL...the ROM Updater, Im guessing we can still use all the Battery MODs, and Over Scroll Colors that are usually available in it correct? I think I noticed all those MODs in the ROM Updater when I used the Developers version, and just wondering if they can still be used with the CleanROM Version?....thanks you sir!!!
[HTC EVO 3D] DJB628:
Yep working now, I also posted over at AF and included your donate info also. Also a Davlik and Cache wipe is sufficient ??

Could you make it an add on or have a flash not to go transparent background?

Sent from my HTC EVO 3D
[HTC EVO 3D] Scott:
Yse, dude. That is the whole point of me adding in the ROM Updater app. Its so each person will get the same base ROM with same options and be able to apply the themes and add-ons they want. By applying my themes and add ons from inside the OS via RM Updater you can be assured they are tested to work with the ROM.

IM not building it into the ROM. The base wont change. Just adding options to ROM Updater.
