Not sure what to tell you, you can flash any other rom fine though? I've never had issues with this rom and its always what I go back to. Nothing else works for me like steel.

Have you accepted any official updates? That. Could mess something up.

Download, wipe, flash, reboot.

What root method did you use? I hear. HTC s root method messes things up too.
[HTC EVO 3D] torankusu:
Hi,

i've never used other roms besides this since version 1, i rooted this phone using our method/hack not the htc official one. i don't update or install anything that has to do with possible breaking root. I'll re-download once again this is my 3rd time, I'll report back.

thanks for your help.
[HTC EVO 3D] planet_x69:
1: don't know but they are far dimmer and when they come on really doesn't make a difference does it?

2: No - no steel ROMs come with any overclocking that I am aware of
[HTC EVO 3D] Vdubtx:
I installed 2.4 yesterday after a full wipe and had lock ups. I am thinking they may have been Bluetooth related. I was on a call and was ending said call in my car and the call seemed like it didn't want to end. When I got to my destination, I was out the car and tried to make a call, phone had frozen up on call screen from my prior call in car. Battery pull.

Was headed home and got into my car, BT automatically pairs and connects. Was not able to make a call, looked at the phone and it was locked up again. Battery pull.

Flashed my nandroid of 2.3 back on it and all seems back to normal.

Could be something else, but that seemed the issue in my case.
[HTC EVO 3D] Geronimo.USMC:
There is definitely a problem with this rom on my end.....Many super wipes and still freezes on me randomly. Even a phone call, which was funny since I was still having the convo and on bluetooth. This is my 5th time trying. ZI do know flashing 2.32 over 2.4 fixed it. I even re downloaded 2.4 two times. One more try deleting & re pairing bluetooth to see or I'm back to 2.32
[HTC EVO 3D] d0cx:
I'm setting up v2.4 now and see how it performs for me.
[HTC EVO 3D] fczeuner:
+1
[HTC EVO 3D] huytrang90:
NOt sure what is wrong there. However, I may be the lucky one when flashing and forgot to wipe Dalvik, cache..

I have zero issues so far. Everything is smooth and loving it.
[HTC EVO 3D] chlehqls:
+1.

I was coming from CleanROM 2.4 and did a full/complete wipe and I have zero issues. Is the issues stemming from Bluetooth? I never use bluetooth so I wouldn't have any issues if that's the case.
[HTC EVO 3D] oldjackbob:
Is there any way to restore recent apps with v2.4? Does the restore-apps zip for 2.3 work with the 2.4 rom?
[HTC EVO 3D] planet_x69:
did you wipe data as well as everything else? are you using titanium to restore anything? if so DONT and let us know..

I am not experiencing any issues with bluetooth on the two cars i use it on I am on 2.4
[HTC EVO 3D] theimpaler747:
How many of you with problems are coming from 2.3.2? Because I came from 2.3 and so far everything is working as great as usual.
[HTC EVO 3D] ERHSAII:
I came from 2.3 and everything is smooth.
[HTC EVO 3D] SteelH:
1) I never really paid attention to when the capacitive LEDs turned on. However, nothing was changed as to when to turn them on, only the mA.

2) There are no OC scripts included in this ROM. However, as always, it does support init.d scripts.

It *should* work fine as nothing was changed in SystemUI.

For those having bluetooth issues, I really don't know what to tell you there. Nothing was changed that has anything to do with bluetooth. I use bluetooth in my truck (JVC head unit) for audio and phone, I use it in the car (factory Honda) for audio and phone, and I have tested it with my HP Laptop. Everything works as it should.
[HTC EVO 3D] Geronimo.USMC:
Ok, it just froze on me with Bluetooth off as soon as I came to catch up on this board. So not Bluetooth related.
[HTC EVO 3D] WisdomWolf:
I appreciate SteelH for all you do and enjoy using your ROM. You don't owe us users anything, except mutual respect. I understand that you can't chase down every issue and sometimes you don't want to. That's your prerogative. However, I don't think that's reason for a condescending post such as this. Most people know what they are doing and are trying to give feedback.

I understand that not EVERYONE has issues, but when several seasoned and experienced users start to have an issue, it's unlikely that they are all due to user error. I'm not asking that you hunt down every bug or issue, but please at least treat those of us giving honest feedback with some respect and try to change the tone of future posts such as this.
[HTC EVO 3D] cruise350:
So far no freezing for me on 2.4, but I did experience freezing when I was on 2.3.2 and flashed both the capacitive button dimming and the auto brightness dimming that used to be in post 3. Immediately after installing those 2 mods I started getting freeze ups. I reflashed 2.3.2 over the top with only clearing dalvik and cache and haven't freezed up since.

2.4 includes both of these mods so this may be what is causing the freezing on peoples phones. The weird thing is, I haven't had a freeze up after installing 2.4.
[HTC EVO 3D] theimpaler747:
Phone call triggers freezing for me too Steel. That may be a rom bug as I wiped everything and certainly am experienced with Android.
[HTC EVO 3D] Max_Pain:
perhaps this is why I never experienced that issue. i use manual brightness and i have it set to about 60-65% of the way. i'm a battery hog, that's why I have my 4000mAh battery.

i've made plenty of calls and received plenty of calls with 2.4 and no crashes.
[HTC EVO 3D] sgt. slaughter:
Nice work there man! Sure it saved SteelH some debug time too.
[HTC EVO 3D] d0cx:
Not a problem. If everyone else that keeps getting these crashes can confirm that unchecking Auto Brightness stops these crashes, it would be a big help to confirm this issue.
[HTC EVO 3D] chlehqls:
Ahh, so that's why I haven't been getting any issues...

No offense to anyone, but I always thought auto-brightness was for chumps and always used manual 25% for max battery life.
[HTC EVO 3D] d0cx:
I usually have it on auto during the day, and manually set to the minimum at night.
[HTC EVO 3D] oldjackbob:
That was impressive work, dude, thanks, you're a valuable asset to the community...Kudos to you!
[HTC EVO 3D] SteelH:
Transparent dropdown mod posted in post 3
[HTC EVO 3D] oldjackbob:
Just had my first freeze. In app drawer, in a darkened room (screen has gone dim), put the phone down to grab a bite of dinner, pick the phone back up and it's frozen.

Wasn't in a call.

Adb rebooted.

Edit: After rebooting, System Tuner is asking for root permission, but I've never even used System Tuner before, lol.
[HTC EVO 3D] SteelH:
Try this and see if it fixes the freeze.

This really makes no sense, but the zip will revert to stock brightness array. Perhaps the phone doesn't like the low setting I changed.
[HTC EVO 3D] planet_x69:
I am trying to force freeze by dialing and moving the phone from bright to dim, from dark to bright etc...and no joy...it just works...not getting any freezing no matter what light i move to/from and no matter what im doing...talking, browzing etc...
[HTC EVO 3D] SteelH:
Well if it ain't broke, don't fix it....
[HTC EVO 3D] Chuck_IV:
I guess this explains why I haven't had any lockups. One of the first things I did was turn auto brightness off because it was too dim for me.

So far this ROM has been extremely solid for me. Nice job SteelH
[HTC EVO 3D] oldjackbob:
Thanks, Steel ... I don't know if that'll fix the freeze, but my old eyes sure do appreciate it! :o
[HTC EVO 3D] parmend:
What do you guys use for 4g tethering . My WiFi tether don't work
[HTC EVO 3D] SteelH:
Use the android wifi tether built into the rom. If you are having trouble read this post about 'tether.edify' and that should fix ya
[HTC EVO 3D] Max_Pain:

[HTC EVO 3D] Vertig0:
Mine is freezing and rebooting... I was just doing a transfer t the card and the phone rebooted.
[HTC EVO 3D] SteelH:
Try flashing the zip in post #1334 and report back if it fixes your problem.

You have 2 options to fix that:

1) Redownload the ROM and reinstall

2) Try this
[HTC EVO 3D] d0cx:
Yup. Fixed. No more crashes.

And also, loving the sexy transparent notification window. Looks pretty slick.
[HTC EVO 3D] Geronimo.USMC:
Me as well. Thanx.
[HTC EVO 3D] iTouch24:
Love seeing all the positive feedback and SteelH working with everyone to assist in making this awesome ROM even better. This is such a solid ROM... i am sure we will see some devs porting themes to it soon ... rated 5 stars!!

this one is nice .. trying to see if it can be ported to this solid ROM ... even though it is currently on the thunderbolt

(for those that like blue)

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1214789

I have used a few roms that the quick menu and native screenshot never worked, with this ROM they work flawlessly. I was just hoping we could change where the native screenshot app saved pics to. i also love the feature added into this ROM that we can change the tracks with the screen off.

Keep up the Great Work, this ROM let a fresh new breath of air into my EVO 3d!

I was going to add some screenshots of my phone working this ROM but i am not sure if steelH would like the thread flooded with personal screenshots ... i think i already got the thread closed once so i am not going that route again, haha

[HTC EVO 3D] meatgel:
SteelH, did you move where the boot animations are pulled from? I put mine in the customize/resource folder where I always put them before and now I get the green Android word instead. I deleted the htc_bootanimaiton out of that folder, so I am at a loss.
[HTC EVO 3D] rleonard55:
+1 for me on the lockups being fixed by flashing the restore_stock_brightness_settings.zip

I did end up needing to use the orig fusion and idlescreen_base versions to get it to let me passed the lockscren with no lock ring problem on boot again. ~HTC unlock route :(

Thanks, though.
[HTC EVO 3D] mwalt2:
It's defined in \system\customize\CID\default.xml. Look there and you can find out what to name it and where to put it (or just make the path you want and edit it there).
[HTC EVO 3D] SteelH:
The thread will not be closed anymore. Go ahead and post all the screen shots you want.

Fyi: that mod to skips tracks with the screen off also works with pandora, lithium, and probably other music apps that use the standard commands to skip to next track.
[HTC EVO 3D] SteelH:
No I did not change their location or name. You can look at the zip in post 3 to get the proper filenames and location.
[HTC EVO 3D] MRFERRARI23:
Thanks steel for everything you do and the time you put into creating these roms and making mods etc! It's greatly appreciated!! You make solid roms and one thing I always like is that your actually in the thread and you reach out to us and respond with answers to whatever we ask/request. I think that and the qualities of your roms is what keeps us only using your roms or returning back!!

Brightness MOD Testing

Well I haven't given up on the brightness mod, I know myself and others would like one that doesn't put your phone into the Arctic Circle. Seems there is a divide by zero error when changing the level that completely hangs the phone. (Go figure).

Anyhow, I have two new MODs here that I would like some brave souls to test and give feedback on. Please try #1 and then #2 and see if your phone freezes up and report back.

Thank you

Brightness MOD Test 1

Brightness MOD Test 2

[HTC EVO 3D] bilsmaks:
is stock clock not an option for 2.4?
[HTC EVO 3D] d0cx:
Test #1 failed for me under dim conditions. Same crash. Trying Test #2 now.

EDIT: Test #2 also failed. Reverting to stock brightness.

EDIT #2: Reverted to stock, and all is well.
[HTC EVO 3D] brnail:
Steel.... on a fresh fully wiped install of 2.4, I have briefly tried to replicate the freezing with both test 1 and test 2 zips. Both seem to work fine. Only been about an hour of playing but looks good.

Edit: I just read docx' post after i typed this. I will try some more, but have been in total darkness on 2.
[HTC EVO 3D] SteelH:
Check post 3 for your fix.
[HTC EVO 3D] SteelH:
But did you ever have the problem of freezing up before?
[HTC EVO 3D] brnail:
Yes, my phone was freezing before, BUT that was with only a wipe of cache coming from 2.32.
[HTC EVO 3D] d0cx:
i think that the best way to reproduce this issue is by actively looking at the logcat using "adb logcat" from a command-line while letting the phone sleep under dark conditions with the auto brightness set to on.
[HTC EVO 3D] brnail:
While playing with this, I did also encounter the issue with contacts not popping up in SMS. The libsqlite "fix" solved it.

Edit: Test # 2 crashed on me. Going back to # 1 to try.
[HTC EVO 3D] sgt. slaughter:
Then why are you testing this even? your results dont really matter at all here with that said.

The ones testing the freezing should only be ones that have had freezing AFTER a FULLY WIPE and Flash of the rom. We all know you can get issues if you flash after only wiping cache at times.

---------- Post added at 11:29 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:27 AM ----------

Please do him a favor and go back and fully wipe data and all and then flash back the rom itself. Do NOT restore anything with TiBackup and test to see if you get the crashing or any other issues you see.

That is the only way to narrow it down to it being a rom issue versus something user error related like only wiping cache or restoring data in TiBackup as each can cause flakey bugs at times if things dont line up right.
[HTC EVO 3D] brnail:
#1 crashed as well. This is after a full wipe, but did restore some with TB. I will rewipe and install everything without TB.
[HTC EVO 3D] daveeckert:
Please don't add them back until the brightness issue is fixed. Or at least make a version without them (I could care less about CRT, but the instant brightness adjustment was very irritating).
[HTC EVO 3D] freeza:
You know.....I always thought something was wrong with my phone when the brightness issue would happen. But I am glad to know it was the CRT mod rather than a problem with my display.

I'm about to try and tackle it and see what I can do in terms of bringing it back without the brightness issue :)
[HTC EVO 3D] SteelH:
First of all, spyware is nothing new with HTC. It didn't just appear with the latest OTA. Secondly, re-read the OP and you will realize I've removed CIQ from the kernel. In fact, I was removing it from the kernel on the EVO 4G long before the EVO 3D existed. I also removed several other CIQ related files, I don't just disable CIQ in the kernel. Again, nothing new for me, did it to the 4G as well. Their is some other usage state stuff collected, which has been over dramatized by Synergy. I've already figured out how to prevent writing the data to file for this usage state collecting spyware and I'll implement it in the next update.

Lastly, I will be posting a how-to thread for CIQ removal on the 3D later tonight. I believe in sharing code unlike some devs.

Overclock

So the overclock doesn't work for this? I tried the silverneedle file i've been using after flashing this zip and the phone didn't boot. I reflashed the rom alone and the phone booted. Am I going to have to go through setup again if I flash silverneedle test?

Thank you for an excellent rom!
[HTC EVO 3D] freeza:
All you need to do is reflash a stock kernel, no need to reflash the whole ROM :P

Mods post

Hey Steel! Awesome work getting this out so super quick. When you get some time, would it be possible to compile a list of mods that are known to work with 2.0? I figure some of the simpler older mods (various colors of overscroll) might be compatible, but I don't want to take the risk without your blessing! ;-)

Keep up the great work!
[HTC EVO 3D] jdeloach:
The older mods will probably mess things up. I will get started on adding all of the different overscroll colors and some battery mods for v2.01.

Is there any particular combo you would like? Like a certain color overscroll with a certain type of battery.
[HTC EVO 3D] joshk89:

Here are some new overscroll mods for SteelROM v2.x:

How to:

1. Reboot in to recovery

2. Wipe Cache and Dalvik Cache

3. Install overscroll zip

4. Reboot and enjoy!

Red Overscroll

Blue Overscroll

Cyan Overscroll

Orange Overscroll

White Overscroll

**Please remember.....any framework mod you have done (like custom battery or etc.) will revert back to SteelROM v2.x default.

Hey Steelh, love the latest roms. Its very refreshing when a developer continues to add to and improve their rom as often as you do. This post is about the Boot animations, their was another post about not being able to get a custom boot animation working and I want to confirm that the restore boot animation zip in post #3 no longer restores the boot animation.
[HTC EVO 3D] meatgel:
Just saying, I never did get the ROM to see my boot animation and it just plays the green android word still. I quit trying to figure it out last night -- I wasn't going to pee my pants about boot animation when the ROM runs so great!

I am going to go back to trying to figure it out today, though. If anybody has any other ideas to look at, let me know. I did check the default.xml, and that points to where it should.
[HTC EVO 3D] oldjackbob:
Apparently there are different skip methods that different music apps use, because I still can't get it to work with Cloudskipper or PowerAMP. However, I can verify that it does work with the stock Music app and Pandora, which is great news because I like the stock Music app just fine, thanks Steel! :)

[HTC EVO 3D] d0cx:
Which method did you used to root your device?
[HTC EVO 3D] sgt. slaughter:
ok lets break it down for you then.

When you want help you need to go through some things as far as letting ppl know what all you did to install the rom to begin with.

When your asking for help you should of done the following:

1)fully wipe, cache & DATA

2) Flash Rom

3)Boot up and do NOT restore anything via TiBackup or anything else like that.

If you've done that and still have a problem, then try redownloading the rom and doing it again.

If you still have the problem, then try flashing with twrp if your using clockwork.

If you used HTC Unlock method search the dev section for how to flash full roms if you used that method as you have to do it through your pc when flashing kernel and such.
[HTC EVO 3D] cruise350:
I know this isn't specific to Steel's Rom, but I want to ask in here because it seems we have some of the better people in this thread and they don't flame as much as some of the other threads. So here is my question:

Has anybody actually gotten the "Hot Restart" function to work in the "4 in 1 Reboot" mod since they've had it for the Evo 3d. On my Evo 4g this feature always worked and was great when your phone got a little funky and needed a quick reboot. Since this feature was added to the 3d when ever I've selected the Hot Restart has always just caused the phone to lock up resulting in a battery pull. This has happened on several different roms incorporating this mod. I was wondering if anyone else has experienced this lock up when selecting this feature or if its unique to me?? I haven't seen any other posts on this issue.
[HTC EVO 3D] meatgel:
I'm pretty sure that's a known issue ... not just happening to you, so don't worry.
