[EVO 4G Android Development] chepe:
LAYGO, finally, i was able to install the new radios.

first i installed amon_ra recovery. wiped and cleaned everything like 5 times, don't know if it is needed but i guess it didn't hurt either. after that i reflashed cm7.1, right after that (without rebooting) i installed gapps (with visual voice mail) and right after that the latest radio combo. i rebooted after that and everything went well.

i haven't installed anything else. it's clean. no apps except for the 'gapps' of course and voice mail and whatever comes preloaded with the rom. now i am going to use my phone like this for a couple of days (at least i can make and recieve phone calls and text messages).

battery life, has improved a lot or it could the fact that i have barely used my phone today, but since 4 am this morning until now, it has only dropped 13% after 12h24min. i am going to start installing apps little by little to identify if there's an app problem. before this, with the phone full of my apps, with the same kind of light usage, battery would have dropped considerably more. so at least there's something good now.

there's still bugs:

1) wifi level is indeed low. it goes full bars if i stand right next to the router. if i walk a few steps away from it but still in the same room, drops down to 1. if i move to another room at home is the same. but at least, it keeps working. i don't know if it is just the visual notification on top that is messed or if there is something wrong with the wifi radio.

2) screen. sometimes, not always, i have to press the power button 3 times in order to wake up the phone. some said before that when it happens, the first time, the phone wakes up but the screen remains dark, and he was right, if you swipe the screen you will unlock it.

3) settings/about phone/battery use. android system is most of the time way too high and i am a noob but i think that's not right.

4) under the same place, if you scroll down, under "Mem info (avail/total)" is giving me wrong readings all the time for available memory (off by 234 mb). if i go to settings/storage under "Available space" (Internal storage) reads the right amoung. (again, i don't have anything installed). same if i go to settings/applications/manage applications, at the bottom gives me the right reading (well, it's actually off for only 3 mb).

the following is not related to the rom. i am still receiving the stupid text message from the carrier (9016) when someone leaves me a voicemail. even after trying to block it online in my account settings AND texting 9999 with the word BLOCK 9016, it doesn't work.

i didn't apply the GPS fix yet. i haven't tested it yet after i reflashed everything and started clean. i will test later and report back to find out if it is needed again or not.

by the way, i am using an extended 3500 mah battery. i will test the stock battery some time later. i didn't install any kernels, i am using the one that comes with the rom, i guess. i read some people asking about HDMI mirroring and i did try that before reflashing, i haven't found any app preinstalled with the rom but i installed that HDMwIn app on the market and it worked then. don't see why not now. but i will test later also.
