Anyone else on 2.6 having the issue of the phone displaying the wrong time? Right now my phone shows it being 2 hours earlier than it actually is... I've tried to readjust the time manually but that doesn't help either. It keeps bouncing from incorrect to correct time on both the clock/weather widget, and the clock on the menu bar at the top. I've asked some of my friends in the area I'm in who are also on Sprint and their phones show the correct time.. this only started after upgrading to 2.6 (and yes, I did do a full format/wipe before flashing and only restored apps and saves - the same thing I've been doing since my Evo 4G and have never seen this issue before)

v2.6 flashed with Bc v.03 kernel and this thing is amazingly smooth. I believe it's the smoothest Rom version so far. Thanks again SteelH! :D
[HTC EVO 3D] vgupman:
This ROM is great, but I'm not getting any call volume at all. I can't hear anything when I dial out, no rings or anything, but the phone I'm dialing rings so the calls are going out. Am I the only one? Anybody know how I can fix this?
[HTC EVO 3D] smokin1337:
Hey Steel update the appsbak or just post the updated version in your op. I fixed the auto updater in it. It was running the updater before the sdcard was mounted so i made a workaround now it updates the backup on each boot.

Here is the thread:

Steel: this is a rock solid ROM. Thank you!
[HTC EVO 3D] ERHSAII:
So if we're using Steel 2.6, should we flash the zip from the thread that you referenced? Thanks ;)
[HTC EVO 3D] smokin1337:
Yea i just fixed a few things in the file.
[HTC EVO 3D] ERHSAII:
Thank you sir. By the way, great job with the tweaks you did.

Id shoot him a PM with that info just to be safe btw since hes out of town at the moment, depending on how much he misses he might look over it by accident when he gets back.
[HTC EVO 3D] fastamx79:
I'm bumping this in case it was missed. I even did a full advanced wipe in TWRP, then flashed 2.6 clean and my phone will NOT display the correct time. Even when i change it by hand, the clock in the task bar will be correct, but the clock/weather widget will be wrong. Strange thing is the phone will keep reverting to Mountain Time, and I am in Central, but it is displaying Pacific Time. It is driving me nuts. I'd like to flash back to 2.5 to see if that will get rid of it, but the link is removed
[HTC EVO 3D] screamin69:
Mine is doing the same thing. It keeps going a hour ahead. Has any one figured out how to fix this?
[HTC EVO 3D] Nygel:
there is no telling what issues you will have for being lazy and doing a full system wipe before flashing a new rom.
[HTC EVO 3D] theimpaler747:
The clock messing up is related to the kernel from my experience. Are you using a 3rd party kernel?

This has nothing to do with wiping the phone. Perhaps if you actually knew the facts and weren't simply so quick to attack them, you would've been useful.
[HTC EVO 3D] sshark:
Any plans to add 8mp cams to this? :o
[HTC EVO 3D] fastamx79:
It does it regardless of kernel. It was doing it the moment I flashed the ROM after a full system wipe... it was even showing the wrong time at the setup screen after first boot. I did try a 3rd party kernel and it still does it. I've done many wipes, reflashes, and no matter what it will display the wrong time right off that bat.

Sometimes it will show the correct time, but then quickly reverts back to being 2 hours behind.

What is this supposed to mean?? You're saying 'doing a full system wipe is being lazy??'... yeah, ok.... thanks for that wonderful help :rolleyes:
[HTC EVO 3D] Androidious:
Couple of things, firstly are your calendars in the correct time zone and secondly, could this be related to your weather settings? Have you tried manually adding your city/state and seeing if that does anything? I have a feeling its some odd quirky setting that may have been overlooked or something weird... BC it would be different if ur clock on the taskbar were off too, but just the clock being off tells me something else. And quickly, are u using the weather flip clock? Correct?
[HTC EVO 3D] fastamx79:
I checked both calendar/weather settings and all looks good. I tried to add the city/state by hand, but that didn't do anything. I am also using the weather flip clock.. tried to wipe all data/cache in the app manager of any program that may cause the issue and no luck. Even when I get emails they will show the incorrect arrival time, but if I go into Gmail on my computer, the time there is correct. Incoming text messages are stamped at the correct time, but my outgoing messages will be 2 hours behind.

If I go into the date/time setting it is set to automatically pull from the server but it is showing Mountain time in the time zone (greyed out since it is set to automatic) and I am in Central time. If I change it by hand the clock in the task bar will be correct, but the flip clock not. If I change it back to auto settings the time zone will change back to Mountain.. but the time it is displaying would be Pacific since it is 2 hours behind, and not just one.
[HTC EVO 3D] wardfan220:
I haven't had this issue at all. My clock always has the correct time. Running Team Exposed kernel.
[HTC EVO 3D] screamin69:
Mine does the same thing, it goes from central where i am at to eastern. This is irritating hopefully someone figures out what it is cause i do like the rom but have to go with another for now.
[HTC EVO 3D] pixiedust7976:
I am going to feel really dumb if this has been asked already, but if I find a theme that supports 2.3.4 can I theme this ROM? I would think you can because it is deoxeded, but just wann averify before applying a theme and then risking my phone not booting up or something. I will say, I just got my Evo 3D 2 days ago, and I have been playing around with 3 different ROM's and this one is the smoothest so far....

Thanks!
[HTC EVO 3D] Androidious:
And have u tried to update ur profile yet? Try that and reboot. Let us know.
[HTC EVO 3D] overclockxp:
I flashed 2.6 and then flashed the zip to remove the CRT animations. After I flashed the CRT removal zip I lost the ability to make and receive calls. I kept getting an error about some process not responding.
[HTC EVO 3D] Nygel:
wow I look like I was typing spangularishhhhh, no I meant to say in general for not doing a full wipe, soorrrry was talikg to my wife also. the only thing i can think of is to wipe sd card when flashing or restore to a good backup, verify and try again.... man i hope i make sense now..
[HTC EVO 3D] fastamx79:
PRL is at 22081 and I've updated the profile countless times. Funny thing is every time I do update my phone, it might show the correct time for a minute, then revert back to being two hours behind.

I'm going to try and flash a different ROM and see what happens. If that fixes my time glitch then I'll know it is 2.6 that isn't playing nice with my phone (I've never had this issue before in the history of flashing phones)

No problem dude, and I've tried that :)

I've been fighting this problem the moment I flashed 2.6 this past Thursday evening, and like I mentioned above the only thing I have left to try is flashing a different ROM to see if the problem remains. I'll also re-download this ROM and see if that helps (but I doubt that since the MD5 number was correct prior to flashing)
[HTC EVO 3D] Androidious:
Well the best of luck to you :-) let us know how it turns out, k?
[HTC EVO 3D] fastamx79:
I went and flashed a different ROM and let it run for an hour and had zero issues with the time being wrong. I then reformatted my phone, flashed a clean 2.6 onto it, and once i got past the setup screen the time reverted back 2 hours. I now believe it is something with 2.6 my phone just doesn't like. I restored my nand for now but am kicking myself for deleting 2.5 and I doubt that download is even available right now. Hopefully once Steel gets back we can figure it all out.

Yes, I love this ROM too much to go to something else and will just deal with the time being incorrect :D
[HTC EVO 3D] SteelH:
If it actually worked, yes.
[HTC EVO 3D] cobraboy85:
Hey steel,

Please shoot me a pm with your paypal donation link!

Thanks man!
[HTC EVO 3D] fastamx79:
Steel.. Anyway you can provide a link to download 2.5? The 2.6 update for me has really borked my phones ability to keep proper time, and it is really starting to effect my line of work with trying to keep track of emails, texts, and appointments. If not, have you been keeping track of the issues I've been having with 2.6? I would really like to help in any way to fix this issue (I know one other person posted here with the same issue as me..)

I've been looking at other ROMs to hold me over that can keep correct time, but I just can't leave this ROM as I love it too much :D.

A link to 2.5 would be mega/super/kickass/awesome!!
[HTC EVO 3D] khshapiro:
I had the clock issue, I unchecked automatic, set my proper time zone, rechecked automatic, rebooted and problem was solved.
[HTC EVO 3D] fastamx79:
Thanks for the post, but that was one of the first things I've tried. The problem I ran into was phone calls, calendar, texts, would all reflect the incorrect time regardless. The time on the menu bar would be correct, but the time on the weather/clock widget (sense) would still be wrong as well.

--edit below--

And when I would change to manual time, and set the correct time zone, and then reselect the auto time setting, it would change right back to 'Mountain time' even though I am in Central Time, but the time it shows reflects is Pacific Time. It is driving me nuts. I've tried 2 different ROMs now and each one does NOT reflect this problem. Right now I really want to re-download Steel 2.5 :)
[HTC EVO 3D] SteelH:
How close do u live to the time zone borders?
[HTC EVO 3D] fastamx79:
First off.. thank you for the PM!!!

Second, right now my phone number/account are listed as Chicago, IL. My current location is Sioux Falls, SD which is about 2.5 hours from MT. timezone (this never seemed to be an issue in the past, even with my wife's Shift 4G that I have rooted/unlocked, any ROMs I've flashed to my 3D and all the ROMs i've flashed to my Evo 4G). I couldn't tell you if the network I am under is the cause since it is owned by the affiliate Swiftel (but I've never had this issue in the past) and people I know that have Sprint/Swiftel (along with my wife's unlocked phone) are not having these time zone issues... and like I posted in the past other ROMs seem to work correctly.. But what throws me off is that my phone keeps going back to "Mountain Time" which is the other half of South Dakota, but the time my phone displays is Pacific time since it is 2 hours behind, and not just 1 hour behind.

I'm in process of backing up and reflashing 2.5. If my phone goes back to normal I will report back, and I am more than willing to help troubleshoot the issue to help you fix this very strange problem in 2.6
[HTC EVO 3D] justforflashing:
Anyone tested any kernels with this one? I like Silverneedle but I know it has issues with 2.3.4 bases. Anyone flashed an kernels with this ROM yet? If so, what and are you liking it? Any benchmarks?
[HTC EVO 3D] cobraboy85:
Ran bc kernel with this rom all weekend with just a couple lockups. Just don't overclock too much tho and that wont happen to you lol

bastardized rom. it's fast. get some.
[HTC EVO 3D] justforflashing:
Yeah...Ive used that one for the last couple of days. It seems to be a pretty diverse in what ROMs it works on. However, a couple devs have stated that its pretty unstable. I dunno. I havent run a ROM more than 3 or 4 days yet. Just trying to find that perfect fit for the daily runner!

What did you use to adjust the OC? I have SetCPU but prefer the free CPU Manager.
[HTC EVO 3D] sw10475:
Hey Steel. Thanks for the awesome roms, 2.6 is running flawlessly. I decided to go blue instead of green and have hit a brick wall on the dialer. I changed the hex code from green to blue in res/values-hdpi for HtcDialer. I cannot find a green color code for Phone.apk but the color code I changed in HtcDialer did not affect the text color. I remember where all the changes needed to be made for 2.2 but not 2.3.4. Do you (or anyone else) know where this change needs to be made? Or is it smali and not an xml change?
[HTC EVO 3D] fastamx79:
Follow up post..

I got 2.5 reloaded and I am still having the same issues. I did notice that my 'home market' in world clock was set to Arizona and after some messing around I was able to remove that. The thing is it shows my current location as Sioux Falls (which is correct) but it shows the wrong time (2 hours behind) I got it set to my home market in Carol Stream, IL (just outside Chicago) and if I leave the HTC clock/weather widget set as that all my times display correctly. If I go back to Sioux Falls (also Central time) it goes back to being as 2 hours behind.

I've wiped everything I can think of, and cleared caches of every possible thing that involves weather/clocks and no go. If I update my profile it will go to the correct time, but within 10 seconds it will go back to being 2 hours behind.

Right now I am very tired and need to get to bed. For now I'm going to restore my nand backup to 2.6 and deal with it for another day.

I just find it strange that if I wipe everything and install a ROM that isn't Steel's everything is ok. I can not for the life of me figure out this time zone issue. None of this started until I flashed 2.6 but now no matter what Steel ROM I flash the bogus time sticks.

Is there some file on the SD card that is being left behind I can search for and delete to fix this?
[HTC EVO 3D] huytrang90:
Sorry first if this may not apply. I got different time issue while using sms and in roaming while on 2.5.

Can you check if your phone currently on roaming or keep on switching network, or may not have good connection?

Just throwing out ideas.
[HTC EVO 3D] fastamx79:
I appreciate your help, but my phone isn't in roam. In fact I have it set to "Sprint Only"
[HTC EVO 3D] fastamx79:
Maybe this will give a better idea of what I'm talking about... these were taken from my nand back into 2.6.

These were taken at 11:21pm CDT. Even when I pulled these pics from my phone, the time stamp was 9:21pm. If I go into TWRP, it will show the correct time there... I'm gonna have an aneurysm trying to figure this out...
[HTC EVO 3D] justforflashing:
That UI doesnt even look like this ROM??? Mine is COMPLETELY different? Did you theme it or use another launcher?

---------- Post added at 01:06 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:04 AM ----------

Boot into recovery and fix permissions. See if that fixes it. Also, try and flash CWM using ROM Manager. Maybe its something with your TWRP recovery thats causing it. I know of a couple of ROMS that have had some issues with that recovery and when they switched to CWM everything went away.

...just suggestions!
[HTC EVO 3D] sgt. slaughter:
Silverneedle has issues with 2.3.4 base roms b/c that kernel hasn't been updated to the new base yet.
[HTC EVO 3D] fastamx79:
It is a theme (don't worry it doesn't matter if the ROM is themed or not, I still get the time zone issue - and the person who made the theme uses Steel's ROM as a base so it's built for it..)

Either way no matter how many times I fix permissions, or wipe/format (or use a superwipe tool) it just keeps thinking the city I'm in is 2 hours behind.

What I can't figure out is why 2 different versions of Steel's ROM do this, but if I flash something different everything is correct.

I've been doing a ton of reading/searching and it seems the bug I'm experiencing is one others have seen too, but most of everything I'm reading was dated back a year ago for the Evo 4G with maybe a person here or there that have this bug on their 3D. I'm wondering if it is a crappy HTC bug with the weather/clock widget that causes the phone to think I'm in a different time zone, also affecting the 'automatic' settings in date/time.
[HTC EVO 3D] guyver2077:
bc kernel has froze up on me a few times so far..... stock clock
[HTC EVO 3D] SteelH:
Fernando made that dialer for me. He has a theme in the theme/apps section that has the same diealer but blue in it. You could download that and just pull out the dialer apk and be done.
[HTC EVO 3D] cruise350:
Try booting your phone without the sdcard inserted, that way you can rule out the sdcard or a program on it causing the problem.
[HTC EVO 3D] fastamx79:
I'll give that a shot later this afternoon and will report back, thanks!
[HTC EVO 3D] sw10475:
Ok, thanks. I did find one more spot that had the green hex code but if this one don't work I will go get ferns dialer.
[HTC EVO 3D] jeffsanace:
The xml edit you're looking for is in either the skin you're using, or fusion.apk. There are several versions with blue highlights and text in our thread if you would like to take that route.

Sent from my Bad Seed customized EVO 3D!!
[HTC EVO 3D] sw10475:
I found an xml edit in values/port/hdpi. Or something like that and that changed my dialer text. Still need the highlight color from blue. If I can't find that I will come and grab one from your thread since they are what I want anyway, just have to see if I can do it.
[HTC EVO 3D] justforflashing:
I just started experiencing the time issue. I can go in and for some reason in the time and date, its defaulted to CST. I am EST. I change it to MY current time zone and save it and within a couple of hours, its automatically changed BACK to the CST. So its not that the time is "wrong", its just that it wont keep my CURRENT GPS location. I can change it and save it, set it to automatic, or not set it to automatic...it doesnt matter. It keeps changing back on its own. VERY VERY frustrating...especially texting. Oh well, flashing something else until this is resolved! ONLY have seen this on this ROM.
[HTC EVO 3D] Archalys:
Hey Steelh If this was already brought up I'm sorry but can we get a mod to change the transparent notifications screen to white text against a black transparency?? Or at least some legible? Cuz black on black is not showing up :)

Thanks for everything bro!!
[HTC EVO 3D] SteelH:
That has been brought up. You must be using something other than the default skin for that to occur. In that case either swap out for a systemui.apk that I didn't make transparent or use a different skin.

v2.61 up. Minor updates.
[HTC EVO 3D] @BB:
Awesome ... If upgrading from 2.6, can we just wipe cache and dalvik?
[HTC EVO 3D] juggaman:
So are updates from here on out going to wipe everything?
[HTC EVO 3D] SteelH:
See change log
[HTC EVO 3D] PaulB007:
Curious, in the changelog it says that -Added EXT4 tweaks to /data (this will wipe your data, prepare accordingly)

What data exactly is it referring to? Everything on the SD card or just the currently flashed ROM?
[HTC EVO 3D] SteelH:
It is referring exactly to /data, otherwise known as mmcblk0p24, also known as the data partition.
[HTC EVO 3D] PaulB007:
Yeah, dumb question. Thanks for the clarification. :p
[HTC EVO 3D] rleonard55:
I'm getting a file not found on the 2.61 link. Anyone else?
[HTC EVO 3D] juggaman:
2.61 didn't say anything about data wiping. I was coming from 2.6 and it still wiped everything. Thats why I asked. :D
[HTC EVO 3D] sw10475:
I would say that unless the changelog states that the ext4 /data tweaks are taken out, assume it will wipe on every update after 2.6.
[HTC EVO 3D] Dynotrick:
Since it looks like further updates will wipe data every time I have a couple questions. First this unanswered one from a few pages back:

Also do the tweaks need to be re-applied with every update or are they persistent after they are flashed the first time?

If the tweaks are persistent after they've been applied once can we simply comment out the parts of the update script that apply the tweaks and wipe data?
[HTC EVO 3D] CraptacularOne:
Hey I decided to give this ROM a try today and for some reason my gmail account cannot sync it keeps force closing and saying "sync is having issues and will be available later" but works fine if I flash another ROM on my phone. Any ideas?
[HTC EVO 3D] Evo3D21:
I have experienced this exact same problem with my sync account. Although for me it is usually my Facebook or Google accounts that force close and say "sync is unavailable at the moment". You can try wiping dalvik and cache and reflashing the ROM, which usually fixes issue (although occassionally it won't). If unsuccessful you may need to do a full data wipe and reflash ROM. Try both and I hope that one of these works for you. Or try removing your gmail account from phone and adding it back.
[HTC EVO 3D] rikk0:
anyone know why videos that i put on my phone aren't playing in 3d? These used to play on the stock rom, but I had to choose the 3d option in the stock video player. When I do this now, the video just stays in side by side. i looked around for an answer on here, but I can't find anything. thanks

Hey steel, did you manage to fix the music app issue I posted a week ago?

Via My HTC Evo 3D On The Now Network From Sprint.
[HTC EVO 3D] SteelH:
No. It's more complicated than switching out PNGs.
[HTC EVO 3D] rleonard55:
Just an FYI really, I’m running 2.61 with no issues now but it did take a little tinkering. I still had to replace the fusion and idlescreen_base versions with the stock ones so that I wouldn’t get stuck on boot with no lock ring. Also, did the modified brightness array get added back into this version that was previously removed? I had hot reboots in low light with the phone set to auto brightness. Flashed the old zip that restored the brightness array and the issue went away.

I’m on the new HBOOT and had to use the HTCDEV unlock method. I am using super wipe prior to flashing the ROM (this time was also with a brand new blank SD card as well). I did try the ‘trick’ to have fashboot launch recovery and flash the rom that way but no luck until I made those changes. Is there a better\easier route I should be taking, or am I missing something here?

Edit:> Wanted to add, this ROM is supper smooth and steady and I really DIG the new dialer!, Thanks SteelH!
[HTC EVO 3D] oikjdfkrjhr:
This new ROM 2.61 seems to hang and lock up after the phone is idle and screen dims. Happened a couple times already in 1st 1/2 hour after installing. I did factory reset, wiped dalvik, cache, battery stats, etc. Anyone else have this issue?
[HTC EVO 3D] ERHSAII:
I had the same issue last night when I first flashed 2.61. For whatever reason, it stopped doing it and everything has been fine since.

Restore Recent Apps in Notifications

Hey Steel,

I believe someone asked this before, but I never saw an answer posted. Is there a mod available to restore the Recent Apps to the Notification window? I tried using the original mod provided for the 2.3.3 build and wound up with my phone randomly rebooting every 2 mins or so and lagging a lot.

Thanks.
[HTC EVO 3D] d0cx:
Yup. Confirmed. Does the same thing to me on a fresh install. Try using "Auto Brightness" in a dark place and let it go to idle. That was what happened to me. I rolled back to v2.6 afterwards.
[HTC EVO 3D] Dynotrick:
See post 1535
[HTC EVO 3D] viddywell:
I had a similar issue and have since disabled auto brightness. I also noticed the dimmest setting was far darker than previously, it seems to be going all the way down to the darkest setting indoors.

I went to download the zip to revert to the stock array and found it no longer available. Can you point me toward or upload the one you used?
[HTC EVO 3D] SteelH:
v2.62 is up. Fixed the brightness array (not sure how I managed to get that damn file in there)
[HTC EVO 3D] viddywell:
You're awesome - thanks for the quick fix and the non /data wiping version.
[HTC EVO 3D] Compusmurf:
Yes, definitely thanks to the non DATA wiping version. :)
