Regarding the slow market... Im getting it too. Sometimes the apps dont even load... it sits with a "loading" screen when I select an app to install, and nothing happens.

Ive cleared caches, stopped, force stopped the market etc to no avail. The ONLY thing to get my market back to normal is using WiFi to download my apps. After hooking up to my home wifi, the market speed was normal.

Im really thinking there is an issue with 3.1.3 market apk and the 3G connection, not the ROM... my suggestion to those with ****ty market speeds, try Wifi
[HTC EVO 3D] brol1k:
Hmmm Nah i didn't like that one. Android needs to hire someone with crazy skills for the market man. Market just sucks as far as appearance and stability goes.

[HTC EVO 3D] Scott:
There could be an issue with market on slower 3G connections. I never thought of that. It possible because its so much more bandwidth intensive. I am sure if you wait another few days new leak will be available...

Yeah, the whole copying WP7 thing was kinda lame!

Speaking of crappy market, what market version does the stock rom (latest update) come with? It is the one with the apps, games, movies panels or the old one that just shows the apps, changelog, and user reviews? I prefer the latter and if that's what the "stock" rom has, well.... I think you know where my next comment leads.... ;)
[HTC EVO 3D] kenneu:
For those have 1x/3G issues, I suddenly had the issue this evening. I was messing around with the phone and noticed that somehow I had made it to PRL 58080 in one of my re-flashes of 2.3 after updating PRL. I downloaded the epst and 21081 PRL and got 3G right back again. I then updated PRL just for grins and it upped to 58080. Back to 1xRTT. Reverted to 21081 and 3G returned immediately...

If you still don't have 3G, download MSL reader from the market and then read it. Go into ##3282#, put in your MSL, then go to EVDO. Make sure it says that you are "automatic" and not CDMA only. That will likely lock you down to 1x as well... This might happen if you "restore" your data settings in the ##3282# menu. (it did on mine)

There is clearly not an issue with CleanROM. I tested this little issue back and forth on BOTH 2.2 and 2.3. It is a PRL/settings issue. It is not a ROM issue...
[HTC EVO 3D] Scott:
I know, right?

The latest update comes with 2.3.6... Ill consider adding it to ROM Updater later. I think that was going to be your next comment?

Indeed and thanks for the useful tip!
[HTC EVO 3D] Scott:
SR1 Icon Pack added to ROM Updater

Ive added my first special request Icon Pack to ROM Updater... Its a cross between Sprint Lovers, G4 Blue and Digital Battery. Its available in all SIX overscroll colors and BOTH transparent pulldown and standard pull down.

Here is what it looks like...

Enjoy!

And hit thanks if you do enjoy!​

Looks awesome man good job. I.have a request couls you possibly add a 5 row transparent app drawer to it?

sent from my sniper through your face evo3d
[HTC EVO 3D] Scott:
I thought about that...

Still rolling it around. Do you have any links to a 5 draw mod? Would save me some time if you knew the code to change?

can you verify this?
[HTC EVO 3D] Scott:
Here is a snippet from the CleamROM FAQ's which can be found here: CleanROM FAQ's

Question: When I flash a Zip file in recovery I get this error :

E:Error in /tmp/sideload/package.zip (Status 0) What does this mean?

Answer: Not much. Just means the Recovery failed to install the ZIP. Its not an error with the ROM or the zip. Its an issue with the recovery. Just try flashing it again.

I also downloaded the zip again and checked it and its fine. Its just a glitch with twrp.
[HTC EVO 3D] Askym:
darn thing. tried flashing it 5 times. downloaded twice just to make sure. then posted....

got your reply and tried flashing again and poof it worked. just my luck today i guess lol
[HTC EVO 3D] Scott:
Took make it easier to understand and clear up any confusion surrounding the Location vs GPS Icon:

Myth about Location: It uses lots of battery because its always on and by shutting it off when you are not using it you will extended your battery life significantly. False, this is myth! Location service does not affect battery to any measurable degree.

Truth about Location: In reality, the location icon is actually a privacy setting and uses little to no battery! The only time battery would be affected with the location setting on is when you have an application that uses the location function, such as Weather, to check the location and update the current conditions for your location. The amount of battery would be VERY minimal if any at all. Why? Because location is not GPS! GPS is a separate radio in the phone that can cause battery drain if always left on and active such as in Navigation programs or Map programs. Secondly, location service is done with celluar triangulation. This means to locate the device it uses cell towers. Guess what that means? No measurable affect on battery. Why? Because your phone is ALWAYS using cell towers. Location just makes that info available to apps like Weather. If you dont want apps to know your location you would turn off the Location service. This also, by default shuts off GPS. Thirdly, Location is never actually shut off, E911 is always active so everything is really mute.

Location = Applications from knowing your location or not. E911 will always know your location regardless.

I hope this clarifies everything so people understand the difference between Location and GPS services, icons and settings.

You can also read more about it here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mobile_phone_tracking

And Snopes does a good job explaining the privacy aspect here: http://www.snopes.com/crime/prevent/cellping.asp

[HTC EVO 3D] LilRico:
Sorry, but I fell asleep early, I got to be at the airport soon since I'm going from Orlando to San Diego, but what I quoted is the key. I have a couple of EVOs both 4G and 3D and they all had that setting on automatic, but mine was set to CDMA. I'm thinking it was way back when I did a restore it changed it to CDMA, but who knows. Anyways, I did a restore and immediately I have 3G, 164ms pings, and my download speed is where it's supposed to be! I wonder why that setting doesn't affect the stock ROM. Ohhhh well, let's see how this ROM works while I'm on travel! :-P

I was sure it wasn't ROM related.... I remember having a user that had that issue back when I helped dev the MightyROM with MightyMike . I remember looking at everything to find that it had nothing to do with the ROM or kernel, and I had the same state of mind on this issue as well, I'm just glad I figured it out! I'll be damned if my phone thinks it can tell me what to do! :-P

(Now watch it brick)

Thanks again for everyone who tried to assist me! I greatly appreciate all of your contributions!
[HTC EVO 3D] Scott:
Wait, what?

You ARE that LilRico? No kidding! You did the graphics, right? We need to chat man!

I thought you were that LilRico but I wasnt sure.
[HTC EVO 3D] evohog:
Everytime this happens to me I just move the zip, from download to SD root or vice versa. Happened with the nexus ringtones so I moved them from cleanrom to downloads and flashed fine.

[HTC EVO 3D] LilRico:
LMFAO! Yeah, I'm THAT LilRico, I was the one that did the themes, hosted all of the ROMs, did a lot of the testing, and put in some serious hours into that ROM. I remember getting home at 6pm and working with Mike till 4am to make a release! :-P

Your ROM was recommended to me, so I had to try it, and so far, it's kicking some ass! Good work!

[HTC EVO 3D] SirWill:
LilRico, glad you got it working. I can tell you, that you will not go wrong sticking with CleanROM. Scott is VERY responsive. What I like the MOST about his ROM is it is STABLE. If you follow flashing instructions it just works. I love it. It's fast, it's clean, and it's stable. If there is something we want, we ask and he try's to accommodate us.

If I knew more about how things worked, I'd be digging in to help Scott. Oh wait, I'm learning just so I CAN help. :)
[HTC EVO 3D] stanglifemike:
Yup, I knew it was the same LilRico from back in the day. I actually used to jump between Mighty Mike, Scott, and NRG back in the WinMo days. 3 best WinMo devs we had!
[HTC EVO 3D] taappel:
I've been having problems with the new market even if I'm connected to wifi, so I don't think it's a bandwidth thing for me anyway.
[HTC EVO 3D] stanglifemike:
One thing is for sure, the Market issue is NOT rom related. I has the same issue while on another rom. For me, it seemed to be signal issue though. Once I get in my home, or closer to it if I'm out in my yard, the Market speeds up once I connect to WiFi
[HTC EVO 3D] Nygel:
Long time Rico, oh Sc.... you mention about the inverted clock, did you get a chance to look into it as a add on or part of the upgrade build?
[HTC EVO 3D] rlaw:
Hey Scrosler, are you considering natively including the ext4 file system tweak into the next ROM?

This is gonna sound incredibly lazy, but it would save your users from having to do it ourselves after every wipe before flashing the latest iterations of the best daily driver 'round these here parts.
[HTC EVO 3D] Scott:
Wow, apple, wow, lol

Indeed! And thank you!

The old WinMo days... Those times were fun! Image WinMo running on this beast!

Market is as Market does... It is what it is. I may make a downgrade pack for people with constant issues.

And Mike, I got my site back up and running... http://scottcrosler.info/forum

I did? Ummm... My bad, I dont remember. Tell you what. I am taking all requests for themes and mods here: http://scottcrosler.info/forum/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=27

Pop your request in there and I will get it added to queue.

I could look into it... Thats a reasonable request. I have offered to do it before (thousands of posts back or maybe on another fourm?) but no one ever took me up on the beta offer. I dont use it myself so I cant really test it to make sure its solid.

Thanks Guys!

Battery Mod (I Know Another One lol)

Hey Scott I know your probably sick of battery mods but I saw a screenshot of someone running KingsRom and the battery widget is freakin awesome. Im sure youve seen it before but i'll attach a pic just incase you havent. The orange color scheme of the battery mod doesnt really match CleanROM, but im sure you can change the colors to match CleanROM. Maybe make the arrow white or green, and have the gauge fade from green (fully charged) to yellow to red. Check it out!!

If you need a beta tester, I'd be glad to help out.

Battery life on this ROM is amazing, it has to be a rouge app.

Another feature request, oh mighty CleanRom Man. Is there any way you could get that Zeus Mod onto this ROM to replace the notifications bar?

It's on the synergy nightlys now and it is very nice. I'm pretty sure the guy who made it will let you use it.

Still the best ROM I've flashed so far!!!!
[HTC EVO 3D] Scott:
You can always do that but it doesn't mean that you will have positive results. I recommend a fresh flash but that just me. Some people flash without wiping anything and have great results. The choice is yours...

What is the "Go" application running in your task bar?

Agreed.

Agreed and no to the ues Mod. I heard there is a lot drama around the zues mod. I just dont want any of that. I dont know if the drama stuff is true. I never stry into other threads. I am just telling you what another Dev told me. Plus I just dont like it. Its too hard for my big fingers to hit the bar correctly, lol
[HTC EVO 3D] klubhead:
^ no answer lol.. u quoted but i don't see a yes or no.. i'm assuming yes being that it's the same size as 2.3
[HTC EVO 3D] SPreston2001:
Lol yeah it can be flashed by itself without 2.3.

if all else fails, then reflash and see what happens, you might have a runaway app, if you cant track it down then reflash.

That is the Speedo Battery Icon. I had it on my Evo 4G. It can be found in the Tranquil Theme in the Theme and Apps forum.
[HTC EVO 3D] Scott:
Yeah, or you can go here: http://uot.dakra.lt/kitchen/ and upload the frmework-res.apk from /system/framework and apply the exact same icon. That kitchen is where I got ALL my battery PNGs.

It works for battery, overscroll, window animations, fonts and maybe a few other tings...

It does not work for Task Bar icons though, only battery but it can update the battery on a pre applied theme. For example: If you are using Sprint Lovers Icon with Transparent Pulldown and Blue Overscroll and you just want to change the battery then pick the battery and upload framework-res.apk and it will spit out a flashable zip! Its also where I ganked all my fonts from there too!

For some mods you have to upload htc.com.resources.apk as well as systemui.apk other wise you will get errors. To play it safe, if you are doing JUST battery icons then you only need framework-res. If you do any other icon then do all three files due to dependencies.

And.. I actually thought about putting that battery icon in the ROM. Maybe later... I need work on SenselessROM for a couple days. They aint feelin' the love right now.
[HTC EVO 3D] crabjoe:

+1 on no default Zeus mod.

Honestly, I understand certain types of people enjoy modifying absolutely everything they can even if the change isn't the most optimal solution but personally.. I think the Zeus mod stinks.

It just feels so much less convenient to me have the settings at the top rather than the optional switch at the bottom.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but you also lose functionality since you can't seem to switch back to notifications without backing out then dropping the bar again.

Plus, I have stupid, clumsy man thumbs! How am I s'posed to hit that banner-cum-settings bar when it's shrunk so darn thin?!

I understand not everyone shares my sentiments though and unless I'm mistaken, I believe you can download a flashable zip after switching in the necessary framework to implement the mod oneself. So, the option exists for those that wish to take it.

And as for the market thing, it's definitely not ROM related. Random force closes and other issues would crop up even on a completely stock handset.

Going into the accounts&sync settings menu and disabling/re-enabling background data helps with some of the issues.

Thanks for considering the battery mod Scott. I also say no to the default Zues mod. Sure its nice, but it should be kept as a add-on. Afterall CleanROM is designed to be a cleaned up version of the stock ROM. So to please everybody just put it in the Updater and let people choose if they want it. This ROM is freakin awesome Scott!

Wow, is this the old folks WinMo forum reunion here? I used Mighty on my old TP2! I then went to an HD2. Loved that phone a lot, but T-Mobile signal sucks where I live. So when I jumped to Android, I tried all sorts of phones. But even with Beautiful Widgets, to me, nothing can compare to full HTC Sense. So, if I wanted Sense, and a comparable phone to the HD2, then it was the EVO all the way. Now I have the 3VO ;)

And yeah, I too, miss the old WinMo days. And to be honest, I think I still prefer WinMo 6.5x to Android :o
[HTC EVO 3D] davec1234:

[HTC EVO 3D] Fedway:
Scott,

In order to use ##775# to downgrade the PRL, it is necessary to first downgrade the installed EPST.apk file. If Sprint doesn't fix this short very soon, any chance of including a version of EPST.apk in future releases that allows us to use these codes?

Thanks.

Where can I get those ??
[HTC EVO 3D] Scott:
Yeah, I will ad that to my list of things to do for 2.4...

No. No... You really dont understand do you? I'm not kidding. This completely invalidates EVERY single add in ROM Updater except fonts and ringtones. All battery and overscroll mds have to be redone... All the way....

There are 100 of them!!!!!!!

Do you have any idea how much time that will take and how meticulous you have to be when you make those kinda ad-ons? I am going to have to cut some overscroll colors intially... Maybey just do three then do the other three ina week or two... I dont know... Maybe just do Sprint Lovers and SR1. I dont know... I got a lot of re-planning to do.

This did not make my day... Other things did... But this did not. I also need to decide on some other core changes such as a2sd/ext4... I dont know what version numbers I want to use. Damn it all... I will spend all day just deciding the versions numbers!

I had a few more addons that I was going to put up in ROM Updater today... But that will go on hold....

Yeah, its a fun ROM to play with. I like to try to tweak it to see how much memory I can get free, I think I hit over 650 megs one time... But... for me its not daily driver capable out of the box. For some it is. I need Sense!

Yeah, expect a major upgrade some time this week.....

Also, did you guys see? HTC released kernel source!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thats what made my day (that and I got a processor in the mail I ordered off ebay).

Kernel source = OC and No lights... SOON! Not by me though. I will let the kernel devs do there thing and just stand back in awe.

So a lot possible changes coming down the pipe... Not sure how and when I will start the implementation of these changes... But.... well see...

[HTC EVO 3D] timnickless:
Thinking of switching...

Been running CleanROM since it was first available on my 3D. Love it's speed, updates, mods, developer's willingness to listen and don't dislike anything that I can think of. I'm thinking of making the switch to Senseless though because I use ADW launcher as my launcher (so I can get 5 x 5 grid of icons on every screen) and I use Widget Locker as my lock screen because of the customization it allows. I don't use the Sense calendar because I find Jorte to be again....more customizable for me. So why the heck am I not on Senseless yet? Can anyone tell me anything else that I might want/need from sense? I'm just thinking if I go to Senseless, it'll be quicker and have more memory available since well...it's Senseless.

Edit - posting in both forums so that I can get opinions of users from both of these ROMS
