Will a sbc type kernel work with this ROM since its stock?
[EVO 4G Android Development] 1range:
Thanks Brad...as usual class act!! Downloaded: wireless_tether_2_0_7.apk....using it now...working great:D
[EVO 4G Android Development] brad560:
your very welcome, glad it is working for you!
[EVO 4G Android Development] SteveGrandRapids:
Hotspot works, why add a Wireless Tether to the mix . . ??
[EVO 4G Android Development] jrags72:
Hey I hear you talking about Rom toolbox I have pro app and can't get icons to change if you have any ideas is be grateful.. Rom is dnning very smooth one theng don't know if its been brought up but search key on phone does nothing. Again Ty for any help
[EVO 4G Android Development] adnvex:
Love the new icons and still loving the rom.

Only two strange things I could find after the updated - Google Talk force closes when I try to load video. (I can't see the error as it closes really fast- but talk continues to run)

The other thing I noticed is when I download apps from the market it installs the app fine, however once the app is installed "App is being updated" shows up and does not go away until you select it from the notification area and Market opens.

Other then those two minor issues, its working great and can't complain really! :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] 1range:
I needed it because 4g is not working with the Hot Spot Hack...3g signals are very low in my area...and the wireless tether works well with 4g...

[EVO 4G Android Development] wmillea:
Your mission, should you decide to accept:

Fix the search button :(

Set RTSP Proxy Port and HTTP PD Proxy Port to 0 (zero)

and set RTSP Proxy Address and HTTP PD Proxy Address to 0.0.0.0

Can you hide the USB debugging icon? It bugs me. :eek:

That’s my wish list.

As always your work is appreciated :D
[EVO 4G Android Development] brad560:
cooking up some evo lovin' now. if after my testing and user feedback after i upload later today is positive, this will be the final version for version 3. It seems with the latest OTA the base of this rom is pretty solid, and i want to return to the inspired "sprint lovers" theme of the rom.

hope everyone is having a great weekend so far!
[EVO 4G Android Development] brad560:
what were your problems with the search button? forgive me for asking but i might have missed it if you stated what it was in the thread.
[EVO 4G Android Development] darkness22:
Brad, you hear anything about the probability of HTC actually releasing the driver for our cameras? Cyanogen has already made the request but I was curious as to your take on the situation. Obtaining said driver(s) could potentially allow for use of something other than the non-generic driver that ships with the Evo opening up a broader depth of quality for our Evo camera.

Related note, I've had it with CameraZoom for a number of reasons (including better settings to combat the dark pic issues with Gingerbread). So I'm testing out ProCapture. Thus far, looks good but the true test will be snapping pics in a garage under semi poor florescent light while working on the car.

(To reiterate for anyone not familiar, dark pictures are NOT due to this rom but rather b/c a driver issue in all Evo's and some other Android phones as well.)

As always, thank you for the continued efforts Brad. I can say with unwavering confidence that I would reco your rom to anyone with a rooted Evo.
[EVO 4G Android Development] LaloHigh:
Well I'm having fc with talk. Maybe I did a bad flash if anyone is not having fc with talk.
[EVO 4G Android Development] darkness22:
I wonder if it's conflicting with something... what are you primarily using it for/with?
[EVO 4G Android Development] brad560:
Haven't heard anything myself, not a big camera fanatic, never had issues. and thank you for your kind words.

i have not had any force closes, granted i had limited testing since i do not own another phone with a front cam, but due to the issues i see i will probably put back in the regular gtalk for the final, it bogs me that htc will not make this work?
[EVO 4G Android Development] LaloHigh:
Yea it only fc when you enable video and voice chat. Text only is okay.
[EVO 4G Android Development] wmillea:
First time I press the search button nothing. Second press I get offered voice search or QR Droid. Google is not coming up as an option.

I removed and reinstalled Google but it not help.
[EVO 4G Android Development] brad560:
hmm. strange. i reflashed the beta 3 and i hit it a few times, no problems at all.

ill keep investigating
[EVO 4G Android Development] teh roxxorz:

[EVO 4G Android Development] gruesomewolf:
Is your googlequicksearchbox.apk in data/app. If so move it to system/app that should fix your issue. Not really sure why some phones are like this, and others don't matter. But that's the way it is.
[EVO 4G Android Development] wmillea:
Thanks, but flashing b4 resolved the issue.
[EVO 4G Android Development] SteveGrandRapids:
Brad . . . where did my SWYPE go . . ? . . . did a clean install after wiping phone entirely and now SWYPE is gone . . . ???

checked your deodex.zip file and Swype is not in there . . .

edit: can you provide a flashable zip to reinstall SWYPE?

edit2: Disregard . . I pulled the swype.apk and lib file from earlier beta and added them to the current release and reinstalled on top . . . all is good . . :)

Do these work with Beta 4? If so, where can I get the right ones. This is super handy.

Thanks,

[EVO 4G Android Development] brad560:
my bad man, i did take it out, as i was testing i just pushed in the swype-installer.apk, to fetch the latest version, and of course i can't put the latest version in the rom, my apologies man.
[EVO 4G Android Development] wmillea:
Test drive

I love the screen on/off mod. Reminds me of the old b&w tv sets. I jumped the first time, I thought I broke something. :eek:

I'm still on the fence about the new wifi icon. It just doesn't say wifi, but that's just my opion. I like the bluetooth & silent mode icons.

Search button is working again. a2sd, screen shot et all seem to be functioning.

I've not had a lot of time to play with it, but so far everything I do from day to day is working properly.

bottom line. . .

WELL DONE SIR!
[EVO 4G Android Development] darkness22:
Gotcha, thx.

Just to clarify, I'm not expecting nor intending the Evo camera to shoot like an SLR. Since Gingerbread, some photos in lower light settings come out incredibly dark where as before they certainly didn't. As I use my Evo to take quick shots of my work daily, this change has been frustrating.

This is due to certain changes that were made in GB and could be alleviated via access to said driver(s). Point being, if HTC grants access it would likely be packaged and distributed to the dev community. While this is a long shot, I'm hoping for the best and would want to try and incorporate it into my phone.
[EVO 4G Android Development] brad560:
thank you very much!
[EVO 4G Android Development] darkness22:
You need to start over and do a partition + clean install.

Leebo

Look at the following threads. Consider them a primer for using this ROM.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1158993

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1266241

READ, WIPE, FLASH and enjoy. :D
[EVO 4G Android Development] leebo:
Thanks! I will read both.

Btw, I just wanted to mention, a while back someone was saying their Bluetooth was not working correctly.

I had Bluetooth problems for like 6 or 8 months (not this ROM). I searched, read, and posted questions. I flashed radios. Nobody was able to help. I fixed it by simply re-flashing the ROM I was using. I guess sometimes a flash doesn't go completely correct and it's possible re-flashing can fix the problem.

Now when I flash I worry I'll loose my BT again (which I use a lot for hands free calling). But so far, so good!
[EVO 4G Android Development] brad560:
i had a few problems too, re flashing fixed it, seems "re flashing" is like a lucky charm when you have problems!!
[EVO 4G Android Development] airportcabbie:
Leebo:

You can keep track of which icons go on which screen by taking a screenshot of each screen. It's real easy just go to a screen and press down on the power button on top of the phone and while you hold that down tap the home button in the bottom left. You'll see a message that the picture was saved. Then you can see it in the gallery. Do that for each screen and you'll never wonder what went where ever again.

BTW, I agree with others that doing a full wipe is a good thing to do.

[EVO 4G Android Development] Rhoq:
Hey Brad,

Great job on the latest. I upgraded last night (was running SU2b5). The UI seems much "snappier" than it used. One of the reasons I decided to upgrade was due to the lack of available storage my Evo kept having. I was clearing data and caches multiple time per day, even after uninstalling most of my larger - but rarely used apps. My available space has now nearly doubled.

I want to flash the latest Quick Settings MOd http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1266626

The developersays to "Please check with your rom's developer to see if he/she has made any modifications to the SystemUI.apk".
[EVO 4G Android Development] SteveGrandRapids:
Leebo:

What you failed to mention is what ROM did you flash from? Were you already running the latest rooted OTA update? Flashing a new ROM on top of an older, non-compatible ROM causes strange things to happen.
[EVO 4G Android Development] leebo:
Sorry I wasn't clearer. I have to research exactly which ROM it was. But I can say it was a stock Sprint ROM 2.3.3. No modifications, afaik. It did allow me to un-install the Sprint bloatware.

So far, Brad's is running great! I don't plan to re-flash at least until he has a newer, stable version. It's running so fast now. All I can ask for is more storage room.

Like Rhoq, previously I kept getting low storage alerts, making it difficult to even update apps. Now I have like 80 megs free.

After reading the a2sd thread, I still do not understand how to set which apps get installed on the sd card, or even if a2sd moves EVERY app to the sd card.

As I mentioned, a few apps, like the official Facebook app, do not permit being moved to the sd card. I assume a2sd will take care of this.

Still have to read the partitioning thread - it's like 30 pages. Took me three days to get caught up in this thread.

Airportcabbie, thanks. I did that on a previous ROM, but that was b4 I started using Go Launcher. I forgot to do it this time.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Rhoq:
Leebo - there is also an app called Move2SD Enabler that will enable App2SD to move apps like Facebook over to your SD card. The odd thing is, the market claims it is not compatible with the Evo 4G. It is.

A quick Google search will get you the apk. Not sure if it's against the rules of XDA to attach or link to the file myself.
[EVO 4G Android Development] wmillea:
leebo,

go back into Terminal Emulator and type in su hit enter and then type in a2sd cachesdreset. This will delete the dalvic cache and rebuild it on the sdcard partition. The phone will reboot and come back up slowly so don't panic. It will take a few minutes. Once you are back up you will have lots of memory.

If you are using ap2sd properly all apps will install on the sdcard partition.
[EVO 4G Android Development] leebo:
Thank you. Should I assume that for Both Rhoqs and Wmilleas suggestions, my sd card needs to be partitioned (it's not)?
[EVO 4G Android Development] brad560:
hey all, been trying to keep up on the posts while i work all week, not alot of free time, thanks to all who are helping out! hope the rom is running well for everyone.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Rhoq:
I am not partitioned.
[EVO 4G Android Development] darkness22:
@leebo, again you need to start fresh. Much of the behavior you're experiencing is not related to this rom but rather you've up your phone.

Start here...

http://www.goodandevo.net/2011/06/how-to-partition-htc-evo-microsd-card-with-darktremor-apps2sd.html

and then move to the more technical threads.
[EVO 4G Android Development] wmillea:
If you go with Rhoqs suggestion you do not need to partition. However, you will find that the delvic cache will continue to grow and give low space issues.

If you partition the card (say one 1 gig) and use the a2sd built into the Rom to move apps and delvik cache to the partition you should see about 200 available space. The overall performance of you device will improve as well.

I've used both methods. I would recommend starting with Rhogs method and if you still have space issues move on to using an sdcard partition.

Good luck.
[EVO 4G Android Development] wmillea:
OK that name rings a bell. Who are you again? :-)
[EVO 4G Android Development] brad560:
lol. idk some guy who is too obsessed with technology? (with my 3 phones and my fire in front of me lol )

working on some things today actually :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] Rhoq:
Thank you for explaining that. I can tell you right now - if he goes with my method, space will become an issue. I think I will be partitioning this weekend. ;)
[EVO 4G Android Development] wmillea:
You won't regret it. I set up a 2 gig partition and a .5 gig swap partition shoud I need it later. I did read somewhere that going over 1.5 gigs can cause problems, but I have not had any trouble. If you are using less that a 16 gig sdcard you may want to be more conservative on your partition sizes.

Don't forget to backup the card first. It will get wiped in the partition process. I'm sure you already know this, better safe than sorry.
[EVO 4G Android Development] wmillea:
Oh yea!

Lmao. I remember you.

Perhaps we should all call your boss to complain about you and get you fired. That job of yours really does seem to be slowing things down. :-p
[EVO 4G Android Development] brad560:
lol yea, you gonna pay my sprint bill? HAHA :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] wmillea:
Sure, first it's the Sprint bill. Then your gonna want silly stuff like food and rent.

Keep working.

I look forward to your next update.

Oh, and just rub it in, I'll be by the pool at the Marriott waiting to see it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] leebo:
So far I have only read the first three pages of the partitioning thread that was linked to a couple of pages ago, but I wanted to repeat my understanding before reading any further, to make sure the rest makes sense to me.

So you wipe the card and phone.

Then you use a recovery to partition the SD card (hopefully CWM has this capability).

Then you flash a ROM that has a2sd added in.

After that, all apps, inc. those baked into the ROM, will install to the SD card.

Is that about it?

Oh, I installed Move to SD Enabler, but it still would not allow me to move the FB app. So I un-installed FB and re-downloaded, and re-installed. It automatically got installed to my SD card.

I currently have 80 megs free on the phone. It's running pretty good with Brads latest, so I'm going to wait until either I have issues or I need more space to partition. But I'm really happy and excited with Brads work and all the tips in this thread!

Thanks again Brad and everyone else.
[EVO 4G Android Development] wmillea:
What recovery are you running? ra recovery will get the job done. Check before you start wiping things.
[EVO 4G Android Development] leebo:
I'm on ClockWork. Don't want to change unless it's absolutely necessary.
[EVO 4G Android Development] wmillea:
I don't know much about clockwork, I haven't used it. Boot into recovery and make sure you have the option to partition the sdcard. I would be surprised if you don't.
[EVO 4G Android Development] nbock01:
Best results would be obtained by sitting down and back up data and apps on phone. Back up info on sdcard, do a full wipe on computer, install back in phone and boot into recovery and do a partition on sd card, 1-2 gb. I have done 4gb before but it was really wasted space, 2gb is ideal. The moust sd card to computer and copr rom and darktremor script (and custom kernel if wanted). Do completed data reset wip caxh, data, dalivik

The flash rom, darktremor script, and kernel. Reboot and enjoy
[EVO 4G Android Development] darkness22:
Yes, you did. Like I keep reiterating, you need to start fresh. This means backing everything up, partitioning your SD card and then flashing the latest version of Brad's rom.

You don't need to read through the entire giant thread to make this discovery. Band-aid fixes won't work. I know this b/c I have read all those threads and just did this exact thing a few weeks ago (rooted, flashed Brad's rom, partitioned new SD card and reinstalled). The majority of things you're trying to do won't work.

Apps to SD and darktremor A2SD are not the same thing. Using them at the same time will mess things up. This is a known fact.

Additionally, CWM can be problematic with DT. Not always but it can happen. Due to this, it would be in your best interest to switch over. Better way to look at it, after extensive searching, it was clear there were zero issues with Amon Ra.

Brad's rom includes the ability to use darktremor A2SD... kinda like having a car that comes prewired for an iPod. You still need to provide the appropriate environment for it to work. There is no reason for you to switch kernels either (unless this is something you want to do) for DT to work properly.

With the configuration you have now you can't enable DTA2SD. To achieve your goal of more space on your internal memory, you MUST use DT. To do that, you're required to partition your external card 1st, which means wipe + install.

I took down the step-by-step procedure for myself. If you'd like, just LMK and I can parse out what you'll need. It's really basic, just takes a few hours and some patience.
[EVO 4G Android Development] EasyEEE:
Just wanted to say THANKS to Brad. Battery life on this ROM is incredible.

I tried the The Express - and it's awesome.. but has some minor GUI issues and just sucks the battery.

Not this thing.
[EVO 4G Android Development] leebo:
Darkness22, yes, I get that. And it's on my todo list.

I got confused by something nbock posted, which was, "copy DT script to your sd card". The way I interpret that is, copy Brads ROM AND a separate script to your sd card.

I don't mean to be a pita, I just want to be clear before I attempt anything.

So, wipe everything, partition the sd card, copy Brads ROM to your sd card, flash, install apps from scratch.

Many thanks.
[EVO 4G Android Development] nbock01:
There is a script called dark tremors a2sd that you should flash. Basically creates logicals/symbols that repoint where the apps are installed. This is where having your sd card partitioned comes in to play. The ext2/3 partions is used for the app storage.
[EVO 4G Android Development] brad560:
great to hear :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] airportcabbie:
Yep, it's in the rom. Some of us just like to flash the standalone version. You're not missing anything.
