A few pages back, I posted a link to the Google apps and Sprint VVM flashable zip from gingerbread-evo-deck. You might want to try flashing that and see if that helps (nandroid first!).

There should also be a zip without the VVM at that site, if you don't want that.

HTH,

[EVO 4G Android Development] WrlsFanatic:
Does that mean there is a known issue with the 0828 gapps package? I'm having a ton of troubles with 7.1. I've installed completely fresh 5 times now and I cannot manage to get everything stable. I first installed CM 6.1 RC1 a year ago, and since then I installed RC2 and 6.1 final, 7.0 RC1 and final, and I have never had an unstable CM install until now. Here's my steps:

Wipe everything 3x: system, boot, data, cache, dalvik, and battery stats.

Flash CM 7.1

Reboot

Flash Gapps

Reboot

That should get me to a base install that's solid as a rock, and I'm having FCs and tons of issues that I can't get past. I'll try finding the gapps package you posted a few pages back and hope that fixes things, but this is driving me nuts.

EDIT: Found it, but it looks like this is just the same gapps with vvm built in. Is there a difference between that 0828 gapps and the one in the first post?
[EVO 4G Android Development] chepe:
did you really?? sorry, but i've been reading a lot this forum lately that my brain is malfunctioning lol
[EVO 4G Android Development] JerryGNYC:
I'm not aware of any issues with the 0828 gapps package. I flashed Kush's a little while later when I realized the OP gapps I didn't have VVM (I used to run gingerbread-evo-deck 1.2x). FWIW, I wiped my system with Amon Ra 2.3, not CWM, and flashed the gapps BEFORE the first reboot (which is what the OP says).

I flashed DTA2SD stable, as I didn't know CMA2SD was baked in, _and_ wants an EXT4 partition (is that correct?), and Tiamat 4.1.0, and my EVO has been very reliable, very few repeatable problems (usually the app's fault :)).

Are you having the FCs before reinstalling your apps? Just what's in the base install?
[EVO 4G Android Development] WrlsFanatic:
Actually, I'm having the same issues - EXACTLY the same - as he is having:

1) Can't figure out the wifi thing... annoying, but yes, it does seem to still WORK, which is important.

2) I logged that a long time ago, and nobody has been able to fix it yet. Here's the link to that. http://code.google.com/p/cyanogenmod/issues/detail?id=2715

3) Take a look at the [FIX] Wake Lock thread for a replacement phone apk that might help with that. I haven't tried it yet.

4) Can't say I see that one, but I honestly don't care what it displays.

5) GPS fix works for me too.

After I restore my text message history with SMS Backup/Restore, I try to go into the messaging app and remove old messages, and it FCs on me every time. I have to restart my phone to get it to come back, and it displays all my texts as unread all over again.

I have installed almost nothing right now, just to see if it works. I'm working with root exporer and that's about it.

Strange side note: Handcent is gone from the market today. Weird. Can't even search for it online.
[EVO 4G Android Development] JerryGNYC:
1) The WiFi level seems to be a display issue, but the next time I flash a Sense ROM to do PRL and/or profile updates, I'll compare actual levels (I have a Tasker task to display them).

2) Display will turn on more reliably if the screen-on animation is enabled.

3) I agree... :cool:

4) Haven't noticed this (or checked), but I have DTA2SD installed and we'd be comparing different varieties of apples :D

5) Have you tried fixing permissions from within recovery before trying to look at your text messages. I backup/restore mine with MyBackup Pro (and use Handcent) and haven't had a problem. I don't see Handcent in the Market either? :confused:
[EVO 4G Android Development] Bleys43:
This is your problem right here: you need to flash the rom and gapps in the same recovery session, and not reboot in between. So the correct sequence should be:

Wipe everything 3x: system, boot, data, cache, dalvik, and battery stats.

Flash CM 7.1

Flash Gapps

Reboot

shouldn't need to wipe battery stats, but it doesn't really hurt anything either.
[EVO 4G Android Development] loumoli:
From what i noticed after i flashed ggaps everything installed but maps and gmail that had to be installed through the market. i had already used theme chooser (Dark Ginger)before i noticed i didn't have gmail. when i installed i receved FC. I changed the theme to one that came with the rom and reinstalled with no problems. my only problem now is the bluetooth keeps disconnecting and reconnecting "frequently"! and horrible 3g speeds! and the ggap with vvm does work! thanks to the uploader! im upside down when on qik is there any help for that??

Cell Standby Using Up Battery

I flashed the ROM yesterday and all went well. But as I have been using it through the day the battery drained incredibly fast. I put on a battery widget that tracks the battery and time until it is dead. It is at 63% with an 1-2 hours left. What can be the issue????
[EVO 4G Android Development] criccio:
Drained my battery by playing Netflix over 4G till the phone wouldn't even respond when pressing the power button. Plugged it in and wiped the battery stats then let it charge until 100%. The following screenshot is how long it lasted after that.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Psywar28:
I am going to Flash the Tiamat_evo 4.1.0 Kernel tonight.

Can anyone give me an estimate on how long/days/hours it will take for the Kernel to fully kick in?

(I never flashed a Kernel before, but I read in this thread that when you do it takes a certain amount of time before the Kernel fully kicks in and takes over?)

Also I am flashing it using an application called: Flash Image GUI (from the market)

Should this be pretty flawless?
[EVO 4G Android Development] ropodope:
72 to completely settle in. It takes over immediately. You don't need special kernel flashing apps. They are always problematic. Download the kernel zip, go to recovery. Wipe your cache and your dalvik, flash the kernel zip file and reboot your phone. It will take about 5 minutes to boot back up. Done.

[EVO 4G Android Development] Deadbolt:
I actually reverted back to a nightly (206) and the alarm issue has gone away. Can anyone else confirm the issue? Has to be more than just the 2 of us getting this problem with 7.1.
[EVO 4G Android Development] AjStone:
Bump? Anybody got any ideas?
[EVO 4G Android Development] MizzouBrent:
For some reason when I reboot my phone it resets back to the stock keyboard and disables Swype and gokeyboard so that I have to go in and check the box to enable them and change back the input method. Is there a setting in the rom for this or it's there something I'm missing? I have never noticed this before.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Redneck Trash:
Are your keyboards on the SD card?
[EVO 4G Android Development] MizzouBrent:
Yeah through darktremor apps2sd

Edit: I had my apps set to install to external in my cm settings and forgot to disable that after installing the script. Thanks for the help!

HTC Security Vulnerability

Are we vulnerable to the HTC security issues if we're running CM? If we are, are there any patches we can apply?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Redneck Trash:
I believe that vulnerability is limited to Sense ROMs. Maybe someone can verify.
[EVO 4G Android Development] chepe:
i am almost sure it is a Sense thing.
[EVO 4G Android Development] MizzouBrent:
Sense only

[EVO 4G Android Development] trancefreak64:
So you're on 206? It happened to me again this morning on the same nightly 225. I am supposed to get a new evo today because mine won't mount anymore regardless of the rom. If it don't show I will try 206. I'm wondering if anyone else has the alarm lock up issue too. Must have an issue when the phone is in standby I will set an alarm while the phone is awake and it works.
[EVO 4G Android Development] LAYGO:
Considering the app is called HTCLogger, I'd say Sense only too! ;)
[EVO 4G Android Development] WrlsFanatic:
That is horrible for your battery. You use a Lithium Ion battery, not Nickel Cadmium. You are damaging your battery. Just Google it. Lithium Ion batteries should be charged as often as possible. If you want to charge it to know it's fully charged, turn your phone overnight, charge it overnight.

---------- Post added at 09:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:42 PM ----------

Yeah, I know battery stats is totally excessive, but I'm a bit ocd in that regard.

I was told once to do it that other way, but this is good to know. I started flashing that way a long time ago and was told to switch by someone in the CM thread here at XDA. Thanks.
[EVO 4G Android Development] halo117:
Anyone have a fix for the battery drain. Phone dead after 3 hours from fully charged.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Redneck Trash:
I'd suggest you download OS Monitor. Sounds like you have a runaway app or process.

New nightly is out with a ton of updates
[EVO 4G Android Development] Deadbolt:
Ya, nightly 206 has been good to me, no matter how many alarms I have, it doesn't freeze or keep vibrating. I'm going to try the most current nightly and see if the alarm issue is still evident.
[EVO 4G Android Development] nanstedt:
I know this is a known issue but I wanted to see if anyone has had any luck yet.

My phone only gets to the HTC Evo splash screen and reboots. I can get into hboot and when i choose recovery from hboot it goes back into the boot loop.

This just happened to me a few days ago. I went from MikG to Deck to CM7. I just flashed CM7 over Decks 1.3 wiping only cache and dalvik. I was starting to really dig CM7 and I was planning on sticking with it. When it happened I was using the stock web aplication. I finished reading the page I was on and hit the back button (the one at the bottom of the phone) and next thing I knew my phone started rebooting. It never made it past the Evo splash screen since. I've been able to flash different hboots and it takes but it does not take any of the recoveries or RUUs. Has anyone had any luck with this yet? Or does anyone have any different advice with the extra info I have provided?

To reiterate I cannot get into recovery only hboot.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Bleys43:
When you say you can't get into recovery, what do you mean? Do you mean that choosing recovery from hboot doesn't do anything at all, or that you end up going into the htc stock recovery, which has no menu, just a red triangle with an exclamation point?

if choosing recovery from the hboot menu does nothing, I have never heard of such a problem, and I couldn't imagine what is causing it. If you mean that you get the triangle with exclamation point, that would mean that somehow you accepted an official htc ota update, and it overwrote your recovery with the stock htc recovery. This would mean you need to completely re-root the phone.

I can guess that the reason for the original random reboot is the fact that you flashed cm over top of a different rom without wiping, which will never work, because cm7 and most other roms are fundamentally different, you would have different pieces of the framework which do not work together, thus making just about everything about your phone unstable.

As far as not being able to flash a recovery from within hboot, we would need much more detail on what you are doing: there are many ways this can be done wrong.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Amco:
Finally a new nightly :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] nanstedt:
I cannot access recovery from hboot. I can go into hboot and select the functions but when I select recovery it goes back into the evo splash screen boot loop.

I have flashed amon and clockwork pc36img.zips from hboot and it goes through the process, installs, from what i can tell, fine. still no love. I've even tried flashing pc36img.zip ruus with no luck.

[EVO 4G Android Development] trancefreak64:
The new nighty seems fairly solid and I haven't seen the infamous gps issue so far so good. Going to try a custom kernel see how it fairs.

Alarm clock also works again very cool
[EVO 4G Android Development] thaquestion:
I've seen a few posts on this but no definitive answers. So I'm checking again. I have a pretty severe lag/ delay when it comes to powering on my screen using the power button or when my screen attempts to turn on as a phone call comes in. Its sporadic but is a major issue when I have a call coming in and can't see who its from. Also, at times, when powering on using the power button, the screen never comes on, button lights come on and the phone reboots. Any ideas.

I just tried to install CM7 and my Evo boots and then shuts down. I see the boot image of the android on skateboard, then the Android System banner on the top, preparing SD card, un-mounting SD card, and finally shut down.

I am running CM 7.1 stable, and installed using the Amon Ra instructions on this page, http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/HTC_Evo_4G:_Full_Update_Guide. I cleared everything I could (cache, system, date, dalek, etc). I installed both CM 7.1 and gapps-gb-20110828-signed.

Anyone have any ideas?
[EVO 4G Android Development] trancefreak64:
Thanks for the heads up. Going to suck sorta next week. I get a new evo because mine no longer connects via pc. I love Cm7 and I am not sure what hboot will be awaiting. I rooted my phone back in February and I am not sure about the new ota hboot and it's lock down and root method.
[EVO 4G Android Development] trancefreak64:
What ROM did you just come from. I would wipe every thing again. Wipe reboot and hold the power and volume key immediately

Then flash ROM and gapps and reboot. I seriously would just dload the latest nightly. It seems to be the better ROM.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jerrykur:
I got the ROM and gapps from the Cyanogen page, http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Latest_Version#Google_Apps.

I tried the latest nightly, 238, and the same problem exists. It boots up, shows the banner at the top, and then shuts down. This is without the gapps installed.

Wow sorry it's not working. I had this happen to me before so I just reflashed a stock rom and it seemed to clear out any left overs from other Rome. Cm7 install should be easy as pie unless you have something some reminiscences of another rom or something left over on an ext pt.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jerrykur:
No problem. I appreciate your help.

I did finally get it working. I pushed everything with adb and it worked. I did the same steps. Maybe the phone just wanted to be connected to my computer.:D

I found this funny, had the phone on the charger, it said 100%. It had been fully charged for a while. I watched some Netflix for a couple hours so I think while it was plugged in it was actually running on battery power even though it said it was full.
[EVO 4G Android Development] trancefreak64:
Wow I scored I threw a stock ota from goo-inside on my evo that I returned today and did all the updates before returning the phone. The new updates did not unroot my phone but exchanged it with no problem.

On the way home I had to check the hboot and low and behold the s-chip was set to off LOLz on my replacement. I bet you someone borked a flash and didnt know what to do. Ah well my gain so now I am flying high on nightly 240 wowa im stoked.

I flashed the latest nightly and my orientation still doesn't work properly. If I manage to get my text or Twitter app in landscape mode, it will not go back to portrait when I move the phone.

Ok. Here's something for you.

I have been running on this for a few weeks now, and a couple of days ago, I decided to flash nightly #243. I wasn't feeling it, so I flashed back to 7.1 Stable.

Now, everything was working fine until I flashed the leaked 3.3 Market update. Now it is showing that some of my applications, ones that I have installed, are no longer compatible with my device.

I have tried searching for a solution, but everything I have come across, including changing the LCD density of my screen, clearing my Cache and re-flashing my Gapps, uninstalling the update, even fix permissions in ROM Manager have not worked.

Also, I have noticed that I can no longer send any e-mails through my Gmail app. I can receive just fine, but I have tried sending multiple e-mails so far, with no luck. It just hangs on send.

The same things happen even when I flash back to 7.0.3.1.

Could I have messed something up by downloading the leak too early? Should I give it some time to clear up?

What do you guys think?

And thank you for any help you can provide in advance. I don't like posting if I don't have too, but I have tried almost every other venue.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Redneck Trash:
I'd uninstall the leaked version. Version 3.3.11 has been pushed out and has been working fine for me.

Brainfart question - to update the market, is it automatic, do I have to flash a newer gapps, or can the market be updated through my current version of the market? Its been a while since I updated my nightly and I haven't felt like fixing something that aint broken. :D

TIA
[EVO 4G Android Development] Redneck Trash:
It was an automatic update. Current gapps work, no need to reflash.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Toney Starks:
My gps doesn't work, i tried ALL the gps fix files in galandys thread and NONE of them work.

I also tried the flashing back to a sense rom trick to no avail.

What gives? Please help me guys, im running cm7 nightly 240

Thanks
[EVO 4G Android Development] asoong:
I think GPS "stuff" is rom independent. That's why after doing the "sense fix" - it can some times carry the fix over to CM.

Dumb question - what app(s) are you trying to use to get your GPS lock? Maps? Navigation?

Another dumb question - are you outside with a view of the sky? My GPS never locks when I'm in the office - too much metal.

I haven't been to galandy's thread in a while but did you try using GPS Status from the market?

Have you tried locking with a different app? Try another app that uses the GPS like Speed Test.

Good luck.
[EVO 4G Android Development] cirehawk:
As I stated a page or two back, I HAVE flashed the gapps. A couple times in fact. Still no google account options or gmail apps. Thanks for the suggestion though. :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] Redneck Trash:
Gapps or newtalk? Newtalk is just for video chat in Google Talk. Flash gapps first.
