Yeah I did the same. Interestingly, they both play fine. I figured that since I didn't actually see 2files for each that one of them wouldn't play.
[HTC EVO 3D] planet_x69:
just saying.....
[HTC EVO 3D] il Duce:
Yeah, but blue steel was CLEARLY the best ever :D
[HTC EVO 3D] SteelH:
Agreed... Almost time for v2!
[HTC EVO 3D] Leeboy:
2.72 is still running like a champ! From reading the last 10 pages, it looks like 2.73 is not worth the fuss? With the exception of the new wallpaper, it's looks basically the same. The apps can be updated from the Market and the su binary can be updated from the Superuser app. Is there really a need to update?
[HTC EVO 3D] SteelH:
As you noticed, you can do all that yourself. So you've answered your own question :)

But if you were starting from scratch you could just skip to v2.73.
[HTC EVO 3D] Leeboy:
Thanks Steel.....just thought there might of been something else included that did'nt get mentioned. Hard to believe that just updating a few apps and the su binary would cause so many problems on 2.73......don't remember any issues of this sort flashing 2.72:confused:

>>Sometimes these damn phones gotta mind of their own!

>>One other note.....GadgetFreak said his green theme for 2.72 was'nt working on 2.73. He pm'd me several days ago and said not to flash on the update. Did any of the framework/system files get modified? Don't understand what's going on......
[HTC EVO 3D] il Duce:
"removed hot restart" is in one of the jar files, probably why theme is having issues?
[HTC EVO 3D] SteelH:
Removing hot restart was a jar file and SystemUI.apk. No reason it should break anything at all. I simply removed the selection from the menu choices.
[HTC EVO 3D] Diarrhea Slushie:
yeah i put the files in a flash zip i made and it worked. i think the flash zip is bad
[HTC EVO 3D] Leeboy:
Thanks for the heads up.......;)
[HTC EVO 3D] INebilim:
I hope the v2 will flash correctly I tried 7 times. Same result. It did boot up when I mounted /system but the touchscreen was irresponsive.

The definition of insanity I suppose.
[HTC EVO 3D] il Duce:
It wasn't a flash error. We have some apk issues. You can flashover (rom+ theme) a working sense backup and it should be fine for now.
[HTC EVO 3D] INebilim:
Ok sounds like it's worth the wait
[HTC EVO 3D] Diarrhea Slushie:

Someone want to give blue steel v2 a test?
[HTC EVO 3D] nkawal:
i'll test. you can send me a PM if you want.

---------- Post added at 10:32 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:17 AM ----------

downloading now to test.

Still getting bootloops here.
[HTC EVO 3D] cruise350:
I'll test it.

OK, I tested Blue Steel V2 and I have the same results. Sense will not load after installing Blue Steel v2. Everything else on the phone works but Sense still errors out with the Sense failed to load do you want to force close or wait. I did go into leedroid tweaks and disabled the sense launcher and the alternate launcher included with leedroid tweaks does load and I can do anything I want on my phone just not load Sense.

Config: Steelh 2.73, stock kernel that comes with steelh, engineering hboot. I did retest blue steel v1 last night by doing a full wipe, install 2.73 and then install blue steel v1 and still would not load sense. I nandroided back to my previous install of 2.73 and that is what I installed blue steel v2 on. I am now nandroiding back.
[HTC EVO 3D] cruise350:
I'm curious, when you say bootloop, are you saying it just keeps looping back to the bootscreen or are you getting the same error as me where the phone boots all the way up just won't load Sense.
[HTC EVO 3D] trollallot:
Boot animation goes and goes

Still using my blackberry...as a paperweight
[HTC EVO 3D] il Duce:
Anybody can logcat the the loop?

Anybody also confirm docx method worked?
[HTC EVO 3D] d0cx:
Is there a change log between Blue Steel v1 and v2? I only see a download link. Nothing else.
[HTC EVO 3D] il Duce:
Not really, a few minor pngs were done. It was mostly steelH rebuilding apks so people could fresh install. Jury is still out on that apparently.
[HTC EVO 3D] d0cx:
I'm still wondering why I never had such issues. Still, I'm suggesting that all those people having issues to follow exactly what I and see if it works for them. Worked for me. I don't see why it wouldn't work for them.
[HTC EVO 3D] cruise350:
OK, I wiped using docx's full wiping script and then installed 2.73 and blue steel v2 then rebooted to system and it worked. Blue steel v2 is now running on my phone!!! Thanks d0cx for your wiping script it did the trick.

Edit: I just nand restored my data partition only, and all is well. Blue steel is working great. So if you don't want to wipe everything because you will loose your layout and widget locations and all your data.

Try this:

1. Booted into recovery (TWRP v2.0.0 RC0.1)

2. NANDroided current ROM (Backup /system /data and /boot)

3. Flashed d0c_full_wipe.zip (Attached)

4. Flashed SteelROM v2.73 (Download link on OP)

5. Flashed Blue Steel v1 or v2 (Link was a few pages back)

6. Reboot system

7. Waited a couple of minutes for Android to create dalvik-cache and to finish booting up

8. Sense loads up, along with everything else. No errors, no glitches, no issues.

9. Go through the setup process, skip Gmail account.

10. Boot back into recovery

11. Select restore and find the nandroid backup you just did.

12. Uncheck all items except for data and select restore.

13. Reboot to system and see if everything running fine, as expected.

Edit: you will need to restore from TB also if you had any apps moved to the sdcard since the wipe also wipes the .androidsecure on the sdcard.

Thanks d0cx for the procedures.

[HTC EVO 3D] il Duce:

[HTC EVO 3D] Cuppeerr:
Ohhh. How would I get the battery that I want then?
[HTC EVO 3D] d0cx:
You would have to search around the forums. Try going over the Themes & Apps subforum and search there. There's an app that will help you decompile and recompile apks. Start there.
[HTC EVO 3D] dmyoung:
This process, the one listed by crusie350, worked. The only thing I would add is the need to do a restore from TB to complete the install.
[HTC EVO 3D] d0cx:
Actually, read a few posts before his and you will notice that it was me who posted that. Still, I'm really glad that it's working for everyone.
[HTC EVO 3D] healed:
Could I get a Blue Steel zip so I can test this method? :) The link is still down.
[HTC EVO 3D] SteelH:
Look at post #3
[HTC EVO 3D] healed:
Sneaky. Thank ya sir.
[HTC EVO 3D] dmyoung:
Minor Difference

Your solution was obviously the key. cruise350's process did not install a kernel. Since I did not do that step in your process, I referenced his.
[HTC EVO 3D] cruise350:
My bad, you must do both since the wipe is deleting .androidsecure file on your sd card. First restore the data partition from your nandroid backup and then restore from TB The difference is if you restore the data partition everything will be exactly as you left it before the wipe, all programs, all widgets, all settings, all accounts, all ringtones, all notifications. A TB restore will still require you to set up all those things again.

P.S. I wanted to give all credit to my procedures to d0cx. I just used his instructions and modified them to remove the kernel install and add the nandroid data partition restore.
[HTC EVO 3D] d0cx:
To be clear, I only stated what I personally did on my phone. Everyone's mileage may vary. And yes, the kernel part is completely optional (again, I posted exactly what I did). I almost never restore "/data" unless is completely and utterly necessary.

But all in all, the most important part of everything I did could have been the wiping scripts I posted. Every single time a new ROM version gets released, I always use the scripts to clean it all before flashing a ROM. This could be one of the reasons I almost never have issues with whatever SteelH releases as I know he tests everything like 20 times before releasing it to the public.
[HTC EVO 3D] Cuppeerr:
Ok, for the life of me i cant figure out how to decompile the apk put the battery images in and recompile it. I got as far as decompiling the apk and replacing the battery images but cant get any farther...... Here's my battery png's and here's my framework-res.apk It would be much appreciated if someone could do this cause I really have noooooo idea....
[HTC EVO 3D] :
I am the master of this. I made a thread on customizing status bars. What you need is 7-zip for windows. Open the apk in it, replace the images and save(keep going up a folder until it says apply.) Then copy the apk back and reboot. No need to decompile when dealing with replacing pngs.

[HTC EVO 3D] Cuppeerr:
Could I also do it with winrar?
[HTC EVO 3D] il Duce:
I think so, I use 7zip, but I wanna say steelH uses winrar. Let me know if you figure it out, I did the mod for you but you should really learn how, if you're into swapping pngs, this info knowledge561 dropped is invaluable.
[HTC EVO 3D] :
Duce do you know where I can find a purple mod of the ics keyboard? Not completely purple but only the pop ups are purple. Like everything thats ics blue is replaced with purple.

[HTC EVO 3D] Cuppeerr:
Ok, I swapped the pngs with winrar, pushed it to system/app made sure the permissions were right and wiped both cahche partitions. It's booting now.
[HTC EVO 3D] SteelH:
I use winrar, works great.

Knowledge: I haven't seen any mods for the keyboard, but if you find any let me know!

Imma gonna try decompiling and swapping the pngs. That may work. Then recompiling and signing the zip.

Twitter: @knowledge561

Blog: knowledgexswag.tumblr.com
[HTC EVO 3D] SteelH:
Why would you sign it? It's already signed.
[HTC EVO 3D] :
Its an application. Once you decompile it has to be resigned when recompiled. Only apks u don't sign are system apps. That's how I was taught. Usually when I swap pngs out of widgetlocker or what not I have to resign it or the app doesnt install.

then:

adb push framework-res.apk /system/framework/

[HTC EVO 3D] dkdude36:
in all honesty, that method is way too involved. at least on the og evo all you needed was root explorer (moving to system app not working for me for some reason). i'd love to figure out how to make it stick in data app. i'll keep trying i guess. thanks for having me look at that thread.

This rom Based on v2.08.651.2 or 2.17?

cause i can install custom kernel
[HTC EVO 3D] pwnsicle:
i'm pretty sure it's 2.08 even though in the "about phone" section it states 2.17...i think it was a joke at one point but i can vouch that i have installed a custom kernel on this phone =D

wirdest thing happened today. phone was sitting on the table and it started rebooting. but it wouldnt get past the htc splash screen. just kept going black and starting over again. i finally had to restore a nandroid of myns cuz nothing was working at all. wiping caches and data and everything. this was on chads kernel btw.

is the camera working?

AFAIK yes we can use custom kernel with 2.17 but there's some problem like camera broke or bootloop

[HTC EVO 3D] Leeboy:
Why can't anyone read the op before flashing? This rom is based on 2.08.651.2. Steel modified the build.prop to show 2.17 under settings so noobs would'nt take the ota by mistake! To clarify once more, THIS ROM IS 2.08, NOT 2.17! Hope this answers everyone's questions once and for all;)

Anyone got a custom kernel that allows overclocking and works well with this rom?

Sent from my Evo 3D on MetroPCS 3G!
[HTC EVO 3D] dkdude36:
Chad's kernel works well with any ROM
[HTC EVO 3D] Leeboy:
Chad's kernels seem to work fine for everything, except several high end games. Shadowgun and Dead Space work fine for several minutes into the game, then my screen becomes blurry and the damn phone reboots. I have experienced this with ALL 2.3.4 roms running Chad's kernels. This never happens with the stock kernel. Since I love to overclock, I always keep a backup copy of the BcBlend kernel on my sd card. When all else fails, this is what I use to overclock. Btw, you can oc up to 1.8ghz. with this kernel....if your phone will allow. I have never had any problems with this kernel on 2.3.4 roms. Everything works like a charm.....cameras, 3d, touchscreen, bluetooth, wifi, speaker....etc. It is a tad slower with 2d and 3d graphics (3-4 fps), according to several benchmarks. However, it is rock solid stable! Here's a link if anyone is interested:

>>This is the BcBlend kernel modified to allow TUN/VPN tunneling. For more info on TUN/VPN, check out this link:

I had the same issue it was with Handcent though, sort of. I opened the message through the stock message app and it downloaded just fine, and then showed up in Handcent, but when I tried to download it through Handcent originally it wouldn't work (on WiFi) I had no issues with it on 2.01 just with the latest. I thought it was just a Handcent issue. So it's not just you.
[HTC EVO 3D] meatgel:
I think it has more to do with the new update of Handcent. I was messing with it and the new setting in Handcent that you can set/disable the default messaging app is what fixed it. I had it set on "all" mostly because I was confused about what it should be on. When on the "all" setting, MMS wouldn't download on WiFi (except in the stock app). But I changed it to "disable" and it downloads fine and automatically on WiFi. YMMV

per omj in his thread you must flash to new radio/pri etc for the 2.3.4 is that true with this rom? Why?why not? I have had some fatal HTC crash errors asking me if i want to send crash report info to htc or not. Maybe those and the other issues are related to pri/radio etc?

Damn! I've been running the piss outta this rom for the last couple of weeks and not one hiccup yet! Even with the BcBlend kernel running @ 1.72ghz the battery life is fantastic! Going on a full day's use at this speed too! Just for kicks, I ran several tests with Antutu benchmark.....got a low of 6437 and a high of 6570:eek: This means very little for everyday use, but this rom is soooo damn fast and smooth in my hands, I just had to see what kind of numbers she would put up!

IMHO, the ROM, works. It works well and it gives us the stability and the good battery life that most of us want. I personally don't need all the latest bleeding edge stuff since all that does is lead to crashes and system slowdowns. I need my phone to be ready to go when I am. And your ROM does that. Period.
