to be honest, i do not know, i do not use these codes, but i have also NOT modified any apk's that may be associated with the special codes
[EVO 4G Android Development] wmillea:
Hey Brad,

How'd you like that Pat's game?

Did you know there's another OTA software update that bumps the software version up to 4.67.651.3 with Security Update, Updated Peep client, and Battery life improvements?

Back to the drawing board. :-)
[EVO 4G Android Development] brad560:
i know, i have been clicking "check for update" all evening now LOL
[EVO 4G Android Development] phillymade:
I don't know either, I have no problem using the ##codes, I used it to change my proxy address and tweak my 4g settings, worked fine.

Brad, as far as the new updates go, I'm interested to see what battery life improvements they did. I would guess they are in the kernal?
[EVO 4G Android Development] brad560:
Due to the EVO ota update, updates to the Rom will be off the new base. Gonna start work on it this weekend.
[EVO 4G Android Development] wmillea:
I'll be cheering for Brady and Brad this weekend.
[EVO 4G Android Development] darkness22:
Well, doesn't look like anything overly exciting. Oh, except for that whole removing the CIQ thing. But thankfully, that's already been taken car of for some of us. And in case anyone didn't feel like searching...

HTC EVO 4G Software Update - 4.67.651.3

Enhancements/Fixes:

- Security Update

- Updated Peep client ( to align with Twitter)

- Battery life improvements

Maybe some useful info will pop up in the comments here.

Since we're all on the same rom, I figured it would be appropriate to post these things ITT as it could lead to some development, discovery etc. If not, do LMK. Wasn't really sure the content parameters for a rom thread. :rolleyes:

I found a more basic solution than Tasker called AutomateIt to turn my GPS on/off with the launch and close of Nav. But I'm fairly certain it's causing some unnecessary battery drain. But, it's easy to use and works so that's good.

I've still not been able to get WiFi Teather working properly. I'm thinking this might be something about the Mac not playing nice but unsure. Haven't delved into it too far as it's not a huge priority but FWIW when I get it dialed will share the procedure.

My internal storage has dropped down to ~175mb. Curious as to why, will start hunting around for the reason.

I've been hesitant to post here about the dark pictures issue that sprung up with Gingerbread. Didn't want the impression given that it had anything to do with this rom - as it does not - issues were there with the stock rom. Since none of the other threads have revealed a solution figured it should be mentioned as well. Been using CameraZoom for a long time but even that seems to be effected (likely b/c it uses the stock app in some capacity). Might switch to another camera app (stock or market) in hopes of compensating. IIRC it's something related to changes in light metering.

Overall, I've seen almost zero issues on this rom. It's tuned far better than stock and even when I'm really taxing my phone it performs far better than it ever has (ex: using nav, receive a text, launch web browser to verify something, reply to text, return to nav). Brads rom FTW.
[EVO 4G Android Development] nofences:
I tried installing the OTA only update from your stock rom thread, but it fails with the error: Assert failed: apply_patch_check ("/system/app/AccountSyncManager.apk", E:unknown command)

Any ideas why this wont update?
[EVO 4G Android Development] brad560:
the ota update from my knowledge, installs through stock recovery. and has issues with other recoveries. i am going to test this over the weekend. what recovery are you on and are you rooted?
[EVO 4G Android Development] nofences:
Yes, phone is Rooted, running your Sprint Updated ROM (current version) tried installing with AmonRa recovery.

This is not the OTA update from HTC, this is the one you labelled "OTA File (zip) only" found here.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Captain_Throwback:
That IS the OTA update from Sprint. It'll only work right with stock recovery. I almost got it to work with RA 3.11, only to find out nothing updated. I do have a PC36IMG with the boot.img, 2.18 HBOOT, radio, & pri/nv, if anyone wants to try flashing it (at your own risk, of course).

You can always remove the boot.img & HBOOT from the zip prior to flashing if you only want to update the other stuff :rolleyes:.
[EVO 4G Android Development] brad560:

[EVO 4G Android Development] wmillea:
Same here, but the snow won't shovel itself. Believe me I've tried.

If I don't have a heart attack, getting to old for this stuff, I'll load up the new beta. Backups are done.
[EVO 4G Android Development] brad560:
update: having some issues with the systemui.apk and the framework trying to add my UOT zip file. just not working. will try more until i have to go to work in 2 hours, until then enjoy the odex, which i know isn't much.
[EVO 4G Android Development] phillymade:
Thanks Brad, and you don't have to rub it in about the snow :(,(lol) I can send you some if you want to try shoveling! Any way, thanks for the toy to play with, I'm messing with it now. And yea, it doesn't shovel itself, guess I have to do it.....wait, isn't there an app for that?!?!?!
[EVO 4G Android Development] brad560:
i have to figure out why the modifications i am making to the framework and systemui.apk to have the battery icons and such are not working, so here is the full deodex'ed rom without any modifications.

ss_su_4.67.651.3deo.zip - 192.7 MB

this does not have the apk's moved or modified, and there is no market so it isn't an "official" beta 2 of the deodex'ed version, maybe someone can see why i am having theming issues.

ill keep up wit the thread from work and will get back to work on it tonight :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] wmillea:
I played with beta 2 most of the day. I see what you mean about the UI changes not being there. Everything seems to work. No FCs

I've gone back to beta 1 until you work out the UI issues. Sorry I can't offer any help, not my area.

Good luck working it out.
[EVO 4G Android Development] brad560:
thanks bill, yes i got to see what is going on, me and alot of other dev's are gonna have a long week ahead!
[EVO 4G Android Development] phillymade:
I'm sure you tried this, but can you take the framework apk, system ui and resource apk from beta 1 and zip it in beta 2?
[EVO 4G Android Development] brad560:
that i have not, in the middle of a seven day in a row stretch at the old target, lol, will try this soon.

Oh yea, here are my quad scores, this just goes to show, sense 1.0 is what this device was built for.
[EVO 4G Android Development] brad560:
changing from 4.54 to 4.67 has proved to be challenging, got some time off coming towards the end of the week i can work on beta 3.

for those who have downloaded, how is it working out for you? beta 1 or 2?
[EVO 4G Android Development] phillymade:
Tried both but any back to beta 1. I prefer deodexed because of the mods I use. But beta 2 is very nice. So far I have not had any issues with either. It's nice to have a solid Rom where every thing works. Keep up the great work.

My EVO is Stock, Rooted and BAD ASS!
[EVO 4G Android Development] wmillea:
I'm back using beta 1. I have not had a single issue that would be related to the ROM. If I had live with Beta 1, I'd be OK with that.

I didn't have a lot of time to play with beta 2. I didn't seem to have any problem with what I did look at. Not enough time to really test battery life; however, I killed a full battery in about 3 1/2 hours with everything going, the screen was on most of that time. That's about average for me.

I have to admit I was just lazy with beta 2 and didn't feel like setting up all my widgets, home screens, bluetooth and what not. Once you get your UI changes, and other issues worked out in the new OTA, I will give beta 3 a shot.
[EVO 4G Android Development] phillymade:
So I pulled the dsp apk from an asop Rom and tried to push it to beta 1. It opened but then kept fc ing even after permission and uid fixes. Going to give it another go, but if any one else wants to try, or has any input, let me know. I can link the apk if needed. Thanks in advance.

My EVO is Stock, Rooted and BAD ASS!

[EVO 4G Android Development] SteveGrandRapids:
OK . . have updated both of my Evo's to latest stock kernel and radios . . . Brad, which of you ROM's based off latest OTA do you recommend I try/use? I am still using Sprint Updated Final 2.0 . . .
[EVO 4G Android Development] brad560:
well the odex version is the most complete, where as the deodex'ed version still has theming/mod issues. if your running fine on the 2.0, you could stay there until some issues are ironed out, or nandroid and have fun with either the odex/deodex betas of version 3. i am running the test build i just uploaded a few posts before yours and haven't seen any problems.

edit: 2 evos? i am jealous :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] gruesomewolf:
****Extended Quick Settings****

Ok guys Im sure the man Tommy will take this mod a step further, but I thought I would give him a good start! This mod has a few parts.

1) Extended Quick Settings

2) Recent Apps

3) True-Data Dispalyed

4) No GPS Icon

Enjoy.

Do the Quick Settings and Hotspot hack have to be flashed in recovery? I am downloading the latest Beta 2 from the OP.
[EVO 4G Android Development] gruesomewolf:
I cant speak as to whether he did or did not bake in the hotspot hack.....but extended quick settings I know he didnt cause I just rolled that out this morning. So at least that would have to be flashed via recovery
[EVO 4G Android Development] brad560:
the hotspot hack is in the latest deodex'ed test version, post #512. here is the link

http://dev-host.org/fv752uhxv4hs/sstest.zip

and they both can be flashed in recovery.

Thanks guys, your great! Flashing the test ROM now and Extended Settings ;)
[EVO 4G Android Development] kippswanson:
Hey man, lovin the ROM. I've previously been running numerous other bleeding edge ROMs (Synergy, Warm, etc) and have had nothing but issues left and right. Nothing against all those guys, it's probably my particular HW version or whatever. This is simple, and actually works.

One question though. Would it be possible to get the "Tweaks" menu item, as most other ROMs have? Or is that just an easily installable item that I can get from elsewhere?

In any case, thanks again man, great ROM.:)
[EVO 4G Android Development] brad560:
thank you!! was looking into the tweaks, again with the minor issues we are having with the deodex'ed stuff, hopefully soon.

Brad this is a follow up to a post from last night, before the new de odex was posted. It is for the beata 1 users. By the way, new de odex test is passing with flying colors.

OK . . I am assuming the "official beta 2" will be a continuation of the deod sstest that has hotspot enabled, correct?

edit: Does sstest WIPE everything, including apks and all settings etc so it is like a new phone requiring setting up gmail etc again??
[EVO 4G Android Development] brad560:
yes it will be a continuation. and it does not wipe your data. you can flash everything if you want
[EVO 4G Android Development] SteveGrandRapids:

I think you would have to modify the apk?

Gonna work on the ROM this weekend. Thanks again for your input!
[EVO 4G Android Development] SteveGrandRapids:
If I remember correctly, the Sprint Lover's rom used to have the Sprint Hotspot setting's widget the same as the other three in my screenshot . . . somewhere along the line, Sprint changed it, I think . . . :confused:

I was watching for the problem with the WiFi dropping out that has been reported on another thread and Android Central. Been on WiFi all morning and I'm not seeing it here at all. Where you didn't upgrade the radios, I would think there is a problem with the WiFi radio update.

You really should not be getting that notification.....are you sure your using my framework.jar? I don't get that notification after I applied the hack. You are however correct about 4G. You will need wireless tether for that.
