If you're still having problems I read clearing cache and dalvik cache via recovery and reloading the app cleared this up for some people as well. Worth a shot...
[HTC EVO 3D] sw10475:
Before I flash 2.32 I was looking at creating a ext4 partition. I usually use the stock move apps to sd and moved anything over 10mb to my android-secure. I read a bit last night and this morning on it but cannot get a clear answer to, is there any benefit from having apps automatically load to sd or manually moving them? I usually sit with about 700-800mb left after moving the apps manaully. Any one have thoughts on using or not using an ext4 partition?
[HTC EVO 3D] SteelH:
I do not have a GSM phone, thus I cannot test anything... and that goes against my way of doing things. So, sorry, no, I won't be making a GSM version.
[HTC EVO 3D] oldjackbob:
I don't think roms are portable across different hardware.
[HTC EVO 3D] SteelH:
Yes they do.

The advantage comes with space savings on the /data partition. If you don't have a space problem, then there is no advantage.
[HTC EVO 3D] sw10475:
Alright, then I will continue as I have with manually moving certain ones until I run into or if I ever run into space issues. Thank you sir.

Same here. Swype is working again also, as is HTC Facebook. Looks like all the issues that I noticed are fixed.
[HTC EVO 3D] doctor ladd:
Will there be a zip for the black clock?

That would be awesome.
[HTC EVO 3D] SteelH:
Grab the fusion.apk from 2.31 for that.
[HTC EVO 3D] d0cx:
Actually, the glow is still showing up but I noticed that there is a window that doesn't show it. It could be that TB has its own window elements?
[HTC EVO 3D] d0cx:
I'm gonna test that later as I do want the black clock as well.
[HTC EVO 3D] SteelH:
That is very possible. The glow comes from the framework, so if the app doesn't call on it, then it won't show.
[HTC EVO 3D] d0cx:
Great. Thanks.
[HTC EVO 3D] d0cx:
Replaced fusion.apk with the one from v2.31 and I got my black clock back and the black lockscreen ring, using adb. Rebooted to recovery and cleaned cache and dalvik-cache, rebooted and everything worked perfectly.

I really needed to rest. Haha.
[HTC EVO 3D] SteelH:
Well glad it's all working for you now.

Maybe I missed this in 2.2, 2.3, and 2.31, when I flashed 2.32 this morning I am seeing the bubbles on the lock screen again.

Really like the lock screen with no bubbles. :(
[HTC EVO 3D] d0cx:
Thanks a lot for your support. Oh, and the bug I was experiencing with v2.31 with selecting the town for the Clock widget and the Weather app now works in v2.32.
[HTC EVO 3D] SteelH:
If v2.31 was working for you you shouldn't have flashed 2.32 like the OP says.
[HTC EVO 3D] Gordon Ramsay:
Just updated to 2.32 to get HTC facebook back but its still gone, any suggestions?

[HTC EVO 3D] huytrang90:
Please excuse my ignorance, I did not fully see the details on how to get /data ext4 tweak besides the post 1084

My question is if I complete data wipe and just flashing your ROM, would it apply the ext4 mod to /data?

or I have to data wipe then to use recovery reformat /data before flashing your ROM to get the /data tweak?

Please help!!!

(i'm on 2.2 ROM).

Thanks.
[HTC EVO 3D] SteelH:
Please see post #897.

Update ext4 /data for Steel ROM

I'm not sure if there are posted with specific steps for enabling /data ext4 tweak in this ROM. This are my steps based on Team EXPOSED.

I was on 2.2 with Recovery 4.0.1.5

Steps:

1. get 2.3.1 ROM, and the data Optimized ext4 from TEAM EXPOSED. Copy the data Optimized ext4 zip onto your root of SD card

2. reboot in recovery, then perform the backup of your phone (NANDROID)

3.proceed to

a. Wipe Data/Factory reset (ensure you done with step 2)

b. Wipe Cache (2x) - just my annoyance since Epic days.

c. Wipe Dalvik Cache (2x)

4. Flash the data Optimized ext4 from Team EXPOSED. Ensure it is completed without any error. IF there is/are error, please contact Team EXPOSED thread or TrevE :)

5. Go back on your Recovery, then Backup and restore, then Advanced Restore. In Advance Restore, you choose to restore Data only. This would take a while.

6. After it is restored successfully, you can proceed to flash latest SteelH ROM 2.3.1.

7. Ensure it is flashing without error, then proceed to reboot. You need to wait for a while at the Android screen.

This works for me.. Besides the issues some experience on 2.3.1, (sprint installer fc, messaging no user, etc), all my data is there. I assumed my /data partition already optimized unless someone can point me to look for the specific at the tun2fs.ext4 result.

Hope this would help those who want to jump in optimizing your /data with tweak of ext4.

Is there a patch for recent apps on the notification bar?
[HTC EVO 3D] bigdawgr6:
Sorry if this has been mentioned, but anyway to get rid of the sound when unlocking the phone at the lock screen?
[HTC EVO 3D] rleonard55:
If your talking about the weather sounds..Click the weather on your homescreen widget, Menu Btn > Settings and uncheck sound effects

If it's just the 'click' locking sounds... from the homescreen Menu>Settings>Sound and uncheck "Screen lock sounds"
[HTC EVO 3D] bigdawgr6:
Thank you very much for the prompt response! It was the weather sound. :)
[HTC EVO 3D] LouRock:
Steel, what kernel are you using on this rom?
[HTC EVO 3D] theimpaler747:
Pretty sure he doesn't change his. Nor do I, the default one works great with this rom.
[HTC EVO 3D] chillenandy321:
Been on this Rom for a couple of weeks now and just have to say it ROCKS!! Thanks Steel for your awesome work!!
[HTC EVO 3D] LouRock:
I see.

Only reason asked is because for some odd reason 2.2 felt a little smoother. At least on my phone anyway and yes I did wipe all and even format.. :confused:
[HTC EVO 3D] R32_Rocky:
Just an FYI in regards to removing the camera shutter sound. Over in Scott's Clean ROM post, he found a legal reason that all mobile phones MUST have the shutter sound. Whoa!

***************

Has anyone ever seen this? http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/bdquery/z?d111:HR00414:@@@L&summ2=m&

I was looking for smali edits to toggle camera sounds on or off and ran across that.
[HTC EVO 3D] theimpaler747:
Yeah I haven't upgraded after 2.2, I really didn't think there was a need to go to any of the new ones. They were just minor app updates and such that I haven't wanted/needed.
[HTC EVO 3D] Taupakari:
Looks like that bill was introduced but never got a hearing and thus was never enacted. Interesting nonetheless.
[HTC EVO 3D] Dynotrick:
A bill that is languishing in a house subcommittee since January 2009 is not a legal reason or a law.

My old Samsung Alias2 has the option to turn off the camera sound. There is (AFAIK) no regulation in this area.

His roms are hands bad ass!! Which version are you currently on? I wish we'd see some sense 3.5 implemented into it because that new sense looks sexy!!

Sent from the Honeycomb hideout
[HTC EVO 3D] theimpaler747:
I'd rather Steel keep this rom smooth and stable then incorporate not yet fully working functions from sense 3.5.
[HTC EVO 3D] SteelH:
That is correct, I use the kernel that is in this ROM.
[HTC EVO 3D] SteelH:
The bill is not actually 'languishing', it was cleared from the books when the 111th US Congress ended January 2nd, 2011. If a bill has not passed when a Congress session ends, it dies. It would have to be reintroduced in a future session of Congress and start the entire process over again.

That's what you get with an internet law degree, half the truth. Yes, bill HR 414 was introduced in Congress in 2009. But like any other bill introduced into US Congress, it has to pass both the House and Senate and be signed by the President to become law. With a quick search you will find out that that bill was NEVER SIGNED INTO LAW. Thus, there is no such law regarding camera sounds.

For anyone out there unsure of how a Bill becomes a Law....

Here is the classic Schoolhouse Rock video

Is there any way to add the camera sound back
[HTC EVO 3D] GadgetMonger:
Lol... GadgetMonster? Oh well... I've been called worse. :p You're welcome, but Steel is the man here. I just do my best to help out by spreading information as I get it. :D
[HTC EVO 3D] SteelH:
There is a new MOD in post #3 for brightness. Basically what is does is adjust the auto brightness levels so the the minimum brightness is now lower. The max brightness remains the same.

NOTE: It may appear as though the auto brightness adjustment is laggy or slow compared to stock, however this is not the case. It simply steps up in more increments and is not as noticeable a jump from dim to bright like the stock settings are. In fact, there are 10 levels that can be set, and the stock settings only have 7 different levels, they repeat the other 3.

As with any other modification, always nandroid first in case things go wrong or you don't like the results.
[HTC EVO 3D] alexnaoumi:

Hey guys, since my battery mod killed my overscroll glow, would reflashing the ROM with no wipe bring it back?

also if i decide to reflash, can i delete the app folder so it doesnt reinstall all the sense stuff i deleted before.
[HTC EVO 3D] GadgetMonger:
Thanks for the video. Hadn't seen one of those forever. Schoolhouse Rock is the $hit! :p
[HTC EVO 3D] chillenandy321:
Yes it would bring it back and you will have to delete all your stuff previous as you had before
[HTC EVO 3D] oldjackbob:
Wipe cache and dalvik, then reflash the ROM, that'll bring back the overscroll glow.

Edit: Sorry I can't answer your app folder question, but what I do is freeze all the apps I want disabled with Titanium Backup, and they stay frozen whenever I reflash the ROM. :)
[HTC EVO 3D] mikedavis120:
I just switched to steel ROM 24 hrs ago. I'm impressed by this

Time to use it till its dead and see how it holds up till I go to bed now that I got 75 % battery left. I'll see what I can throw at it and see how it hold up
[HTC EVO 3D] Scott:
Just to clear the record...

I simply asked if anyone saw it. I never said it was pending. I just though it was interesting.

[HTC EVO 3D] ERHSAII:
Good morning. Does anyone happen to have a link to the kernel used in this ROM? I tried another and my battery is suffering. Thanks.

[HTC EVO 3D] ERHSAII:
Thanks. I'll try the update 4 and see how it goes.
[HTC EVO 3D] ERHSAII:
Lol. I should have known better. I think I was looking for the gold at the end of the rainbow!
[HTC EVO 3D] oldjackbob:
Lol, yep I'm too afraid of losing this magical battery life to mess with Steel's rom at all!

Edit: Just to illustrate, I grabbed Steel's 2.32 rom the other day immediately before dashing out the door to go on a mountain bike ride, and flashed the rom in the car on the way to the trail, and booted it up and fired up My Tracks and plugged in the headphones and turned on the Music app and made a mental note of the remaining battery level (86%) and hopped on the bike. When my ride was finished I'd recorded a 1 hour 32 minute route and still had 75% battery left. That equates to nearly 14 hours battery life while running GPS and listening to tunes the whole time! And that was without even calibrating the battery!

I'm doing another ride this afternoon and I'll report back with results if they're any better this time. :)
[HTC EVO 3D] huytrang90:
Try without JuiceDefender, then it would show the real usage of SteelH ROM. I am loving it.
[HTC EVO 3D] R32_Rocky:
I apologize, my bad. I hope I did mean to make it like Scott had said that it was law, he had just said that this bill was something of interest in regards to removing the camera shutter sounds. And in some ways, the complaint in that bill does make some sense, in regards to privacy.
[HTC EVO 3D] mikedavis120:
For me a test with juice defender tests the ROM for me.. I've always ran it and have the paid version. I swear by it. I feel testing it without it is not real world for me as an individual. That being said LOL here's down to twelve percent. The last five hours has been nonstop internet, streaming music, flash,games,and netflix. Oh and I downloaded an asop ROM to mess with this weekend.

[HTC EVO 3D] oldjackbob:
SteelH, I have my first request I've ever asked of a rom dev:

Can you make it where FM Radio works in Airplane Mode?

I don't understand why Airplane mode disables the FM radio in this phone. FM is a receive-only function (no phone transmission is required), but for some reason Airplane mode disables the FM radio!

I ride my mountain bike in areas where Sprint tower reception is very poor, but FM reception is still quite strong. I turn on Airplane mode to save battery, because in poor tower reception areas our phones really crank up the transmitter power to maintain good contact with the tower. But Airplane mode disables my FM radio, which sucks! I want to be able to listen to FM while I'm haulin' ass through the woods without burning up my battery trying to stay connected to the Sprint towers.

So what I'm looking for is for the FM radio to work even though the phone is in Airplane mode. Is there a way for you to do that for us?

In any case, kind thanks for everything you've already done for us!
[HTC EVO 3D] SteelH:
SO you don't like your capacitive LED buttons to blind you with such bright light?

Do you prefer them dimmed down like I do?

Then head over to post #3 and flash the dim lights MOD kernel I have made. It features all the stuff my stock kernel has in SteelROM (disabled CIQ, spyware, etc), and now those lights will no longer blind you at night!
[HTC EVO 3D] iTouch24:
i just flashed the latest and greatest version but i have no taskbar .... and the only icon on my lockscreen is the phone one ... can u just flash 2.32 or u need to do 2.31 first and then 2.32 over it? i wiped everything before flashing
[HTC EVO 3D] SteelH:
Your idea makes sense, and I'm sure it could be done. But, I'm afraid I wouldn't know where to begin as I suspect that would require some sort of kernel level modification. I could be wrong about that, but I would suggest asking one of the guys who does kernels about this.
[HTC EVO 3D] SteelH:
2.31 and 2.32 are full roms, you do not need one before the other. If your taskbar is missing, you have a bad wipe or other user error. Plenty of people have flashed either rom and they all have the taskbar.
[HTC EVO 3D] iTouch24:
ok cool .. just wanted to make sure that it was a full rom .. i am using teamwin recovery and wiping again and will install again ... i used the synergy complete wipe before ... maybe that wasnt playing nice????
[HTC EVO 3D] SteelH:
No idea. But when /data isn't wiped, sometimes everything is fine, and many other times all sorts of wacked out problems occur.

[HTC EVO 3D] SteelH:
That happens when he moves the kickstand. The EVO3d has no sensors in the kickstand, nor does it rotate.
[HTC EVO 3D] LiquidSolstice:
I'm pretty sure he's asking about that nice rotation animation when switching orientation.
[HTC EVO 3D] warmfrog:
yeah but thats only for the home screen that the

kick stand is needed just to lock to landscape mode but

doesn't auto rotate

for apps that allow, it animates

great addition btw but would be better if it syncs the

as suppose to turning down the brightness all the way down

to disable UI lights

You can name the zips sprint bootanim and down anim. If you don't understand download the zip in post 3 to restore stock anims, then just replace with your own.

I don't know which mod from post 3 is causing me problems because I installed 2 of them, the auto brightness and the dim lights mod. After installing both of these mods my phone freezes alot. Never did it before installing these mods so one of them must be the culprit. I am reflashing 2.32 to hopefully fix the problem.
[HTC EVO 3D] theimpaler747:
That's a problem with the theme you applied over this rom, not the rom.

[HTC EVO 3D] GadgetMonger:
Not sure about your first assumption, but as for flashing over the top of 2.0... I did it with no issues at all so far. As a matter of fact I flashed 2.0 over 1.3 with only very small, easily fixed issues.

A. VVM force closes. Just cleared data to fix this.

B. Dps manager force closes. This was due to the fact that I had volume+ installed and the two conflicted.

Other than that... The transition went smoothly... But that's just me. :D

[HTC EVO 3D] daveeckert:
Yep, not sure of the cause, but clearing the Gmail program cache (under Applications) fixed it for me.

I use a bunch of widgets that rely on accessing the Gmail database, so I've been stripping 2.3.5 out of ROMs (I don't use any of those new inbox views). Before I did that, I was using Titanium to delete 2.3.5 and restore the old version - not sure if that's what caused this issue or not. But, again, clearing the cache (and rebooting for good measure) fixed it.
[HTC EVO 3D] oldjackbob:
SteelH, I couldn't care less about any silly crt animations etc., what I'm most concerned about is the spyware that HTC has embedded into the latest OTA. Are you involved in any efforts with any of the kernel devs to produce a "clean" rom/kernel package? Your rom is already very nice at its current stage of development, and rather than focus on themes or battery icon mods or other such mundane and contextually irrelevant drivel, I think right now that we as a community should be focused on assembling a secure OS for our phones, one that won't be reporting our every move and action to Corporate Big Brother.

Thanks for all you've done for us, and I'll be staying with your rom in any case.
