Hey Brad,

I just installed the final update. Two things I found at first glance. The notification bar is back to the original stock icons. The notification screen is white on white so I can't read it.

Bill
[EVO 4G Android Development] brad560:
hi bill, the notification bar is not themed in the final release, for some structural reasons. I am planning a themed version, if you will.

edit: I did a few things, downloaded some apps, sent some texts, I can see my notifications fine?

thanks for your reply!
[EVO 4G Android Development] m0nk33:
Hey Brad! Just wanted to check in on your themed version of the ROM and let you know there is interest. :D

thanks guys, been doing little things as I can, work is killing me!

Brad,

Can I flash one of the existing files over this ROM to get back the numerical battery, and the new icons?
[EVO 4G Android Development] brad560:
make a nandroid first, you could? but will lose other things that are tied to the systemUI.apk
[EVO 4G Android Development] washere:
Okay, I will just keep my phone on Beta 3 until you have time to do the new one. My wife is on 4, and she probably doesn't care too much at this point...
[EVO 4G Android Development] darkness22:
Been a while since I checked in, all is still going quite well with Brad's Rom (3 Beta 1). Of course, will upgrade to the latest when I've got some extra time. Just wanted to say thank you.
[EVO 4G Android Development] brad560:
thank you! i know when i dont hear from people who use the rom it's a good thing? LOL

trying to get an update out in a week or so, working on the theming and seeing what new mods have been put out by our fine devs.
[EVO 4G Android Development] SteveGrandRapids:
. . . waiting patiently . . . ;)
[EVO 4G Android Development] airportcabbie:
Thanks Brad, I'm running the latest & it's super stable with the exception of one thing, the dsp kept fc'ing. So far I've redownloaded & checked the md5 & wiped cache and dalvik & fixed apk uid mismatch etc. Since the dsp was the only problem I just froze it in TB and got "Equalizer" from Play. So it's not a big deal for me. Just thought I'd let you know. Otherwise, like I said this rom is GREAT! THANKS!

Does this ROM have lock screen shorts?
[EVO 4G Android Development] thicklizard:
No it has the pull down bar like stock
[EVO 4G Android Development] AlvinT:
Wow wow and double wow

This new rom is marvelous! What amazes me is how much more internal memory I have for my (too many) apps! used to be tight even with moving stuff to the SD, now more than enough even for the memory pigs like the adobe flash updated

Dont know how you do it, Brad (and the others, to whom you give credit) but it seems to be working really well!!!!

Thanks again, many times over

If i have Sprint Lovers installed already, do i need to do anything before installing this?
[EVO 4G Android Development] brad560:
your very welcome!

i got your pm, you may have problems flashing this straight over the original sprint lovers. i would suggest a clean wipe and flash.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ndguerrier:
I was trying it on A friends phone before mine. Didn't do a wipe first, bu his phone was rooted with no rom previously installed.
[EVO 4G Android Development] brian9000g:
This will be my first flash.

noob and first time posting. First some background info. The HTC EVO 4G is the only Android device I have ever used, so I am not interested in all of the cutting edge latest Sense roms. Stock-Tweaked is fine for me.

About a year ago I rooted my phone mainly to be able to do a nandroid backup, and to freeze some of the oem apps that I do not use. But now I am in need of more space, occasional tethering and would like some of the updated features. I never applied any update after 2.2 Froyo because of all the problems that was reported from the 2.3 GB update.

I rooted with unrevoked forever and installed ClockworkMod Recovery v5.0.2.2.

Below are my phone specs:

Model # - PC36100

Hardware ver. - 0003

Android ver. - 2.2

Baseband ver. - 2.15.00.11.19

Kernel ver. - 2.6.32.14

Build # - 3.70.651.1 CL294884 release-keys

Software # - 3.70.651.1

PRI - 1.90_003

PRL ver. - 60686

Supersonic EVT2-3 SHIP S-OFF

HBOOT 2.10.0001

MICROP-041F

TOUCH PANEL-ATMEL224_16AB

RADIO-2.15.00.11.19

Oct 15 2010, 12:07:00

Wimax - 4.6.2.3v27167_

I have read through multiple treads and just need a little guidance.

1. I know that I do not want to update HBoot.

2. I read that I should not use ClockworkMod and to use Amon RA. Opinions on which one? I also read that I should update custom recovery through Rom Manager. Yes/No?

3. I need to update my radios and need to know if I should flash the all-in-one CM-EVO_Radio-.15.00.12.19_PRI-2.33_WiMax_NV through recovery, or should I flash the PC36IMG_Radio_2.15.00.12.19_PRI_2.33_003, WiMAX_27243 and NV_2.15_003 through Bootloader? Can they be flashed at the same time? If not, in what order?

4. Should I update the PRL and Profile before or after flashing the new rom? And is the PRL and Profile backed up with a nandroid backup?

5. Are there any issues with reinstalling all of my apps from the market instead of doing a backup? I ask because when I set my phone up I did not know the first email account was linked to the market. I have only downloaded free apps with this email account. All of the paid apps I have, where bought logged into the market website with an alternate email account (will be the first after the new rom is flashed) or from the Amazon-Market.

Thank you for your help in advance.
[EVO 4G Android Development] leebo:
At the risk of being responsible for ending this lovely page number, I am having a new (old) issue. I doubt it is the fault of this ROM, but I need to know what to try.

After several weeks on Updated 3, beta (4?), my phone has gotten sluggish again. Sometimes it's responsive, but more often I have to wait and wait for it to respond to a tap or swipe. Sometimes I have to wait 30 seconds for it to respond. Perhaps I need to clear out some files or?

Also, the browser is VERY slow to load pages. I've tried using a different browser (Dolphin Mini), and I've tried using different WiFi access as well as 4G. Wait, wait, wait. Not sure if the two are related or not.

Thanks.
[EVO 4G Android Development] 1range:
leebo you might try if you haven't...check you internal memory....I had similar issues...I moved some apps to SD card to free up memory...everything is running smooth....Sprint updated 3 beta 4
[EVO 4G Android Development] gunfromsako:
1. Correct

2. I would just head over here and grab the 3.11 PC36IMG.zip and flash via bootloader. (assuming u know how)

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=21011562

3. I would also grab the PC36IMG.zip of the latest radio combo from calkulin's thread and update via bootloader.

4. After. PRL and Profile are not backed up in a nandroid. You can use qpst to but there is no need to.

5. No there is no issue just installing the apps from the market. It would probably be a wise choice.

6. Now get to flashing fool!!! :)

Wipe till it bleeds...
[EVO 4G Android Development] brian9000g:
2. I had already downloaded it. Just wanted confirmation.

3. The newest radio combo is PC36IMG_Radio_2.15.00.12.19_PRI_2.33_003.zip and only contains the radio updates from the latest HTC release. The combo in the OP contains all 4 items but is the older radio and PRI. The only other all-in-one (CM-EVO_Radio-2.15.00.12.19_PRI-2.33_WiMax_NV.zip) is a recovery flash zip.

So the question is, do I flash:

This EVO_Radio_2.15.00.08.08_WiMAX_27243_PRI_NV_2.15_003.zip

Then PC36IMG_Radio_2.15.00.12.19_PRI_2.33_003.zip

or

This EVO_NV_2.15_003.zip

Then EVO_WiMAX_27243.zip

Then PC36IMG_Radio_2.15.00.12.19_PRI_2.33_003.zip

Remember I have not applied any updates since 2.2 Froyo.
[EVO 4G Android Development] brad560:
just checking in guys! thanks to all who have replied to posts. I FINALLY will be on vacation from work starting in 2 days, so i can get my butt in gear on an update. I just brought my phone back to stock so i can start pulling the stock rom for a new, fresh updated base.

[EVO 4G Android Development] djconundrum:
Thank your for your rom, great base for my multiboot flashaholic nature. Redone it several times but it did have a small graphic error in the top left corner of the screen, and for some reason would not let me use some game downloads from the market from within the game like roman empires (invalid purchase). Other than that please try to have one not themed as well. Great work though as a whole, solid and not changed for a long time.
[EVO 4G Android Development] phillymade:
To help with this issue you can try the following, flash darktremors a2sd if you have not done so. Run the data command. Then go to the market and get NG Cache cleaner it's free here https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.lsartory.cachecleaner.ng&feature=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwyLDEsIm9yZy5sc2FydG9yeS5jYWNoZWNsZWFuZXIubmciXQ... Open it and hit clean now, then set it to run every 12 hours. It will make a huge improvement. i use it and my OG sings like a champ.
[EVO 4G Android Development] leebo:
I thought that was already included in this ROM?

My SD card is partitioned, I did it by following the partitioning thread mentioned earlier in this topic. I made a 1 gig ex2 partition, and upgraded it to ex3.

My internal storage shows 131MB right now. From reading other people's posts in this thread, I feel like I should have more. At least I never get the "Update Failed" error from not having enough free space anymore.
[EVO 4G Android Development] elosogrande7076:
good evening everyone....i put this rom on my gf evo and she is loving it. We have noticed lately that she is getting messages of low storage space. When looking at TB i see that she has over 1gb free for her SD card and 1gb for her sd card (a2sd) but only has 31mb for internal. In terminal emulator i use the a2sd reinstall command and was able to free up some space and the low space warning went away. A couple days later it came back. Has anyone had this or a similar issue? The rom is great and she is loving it but the low space is becoming an issue ...thanks for any help and thanks agin Brad for your great rom!
[EVO 4G Android Development] brad560:
Well app updates will eat up all the space you cleared. O see from the past two pages some other users may have the same problem. On my next update I will look at this space issue. And thanks for your kind words.
[EVO 4G Android Development] leebo:
Did you take the short cut like I did when first flashing this ROM? By that I mean, did you flash and then let TB re-install all the apps rather than re-download and re-install each one manually?

Have you tried going into manage apps and using "move to Sd card"?

I couldn't get the official Facebook app to install to the card until I un-installed it and re-downloaded it, fyi.

As you can see from my post above, I still only have 130 to 140 megs free on mu internal memory.
[EVO 4G Android Development] SteveGrandRapids:
. . I just checked my phone and have 164mb internal storage available . . haven't looked at that in quite a while, but it seems ok . . . and I am not using aps2sd, but do move aps to sd that it allows me to . . .
[EVO 4G Android Development] elosogrande7076:
Yes, that is the way that I always have done it (let TB reinstall the apps) and havent had an issue before. I didnt move the apps to SD card, because I thought casued issues with using a2sd, is this correct?
[EVO 4G Android Development] brad560:
ok guys got my base down, and i am testing a version of my rom that is pretty bare bones, i have seen all the threads recently about the apps2sd, i am shooting for 200-250mb of free space after the rom install, is this enough free space?

i know alot of you will go in and uninstall some of the bloatware and such, i am just aiming for ease of use, and for the users who use apps2sd i want to still make it as easy as possible to set that up as well.

as far as added apps, i have amazon appstore, dsp manager, es file explorer, google music and wireless tether, i think that should be enough?
[EVO 4G Android Development] SteveGrandRapids:
Sounds good . . people can always add/remove what they need/like . . .

Been seeing your work popping up all over the place bro tho, nice work bro.

anyone else can chime in here?

How to enable speech to text?

Hi Brad -

I had been running Sprint Lovers for a while and then upgraded a friend's EVO to your ROM. It looked really good to me and so, when I was ready to upgrade I loaded your newest ROM, version 3 final. It also is working great, as I had expected, no complaints at all. However, my friend mentioned that she was thinking about going back to stock because the speech to text feature (press the mic symbol on the keyboard) was not functioning in her ROM. I never used that feature, but tested on the new version and it also seemed not to function. I am guessing I have to activate it, install something, or change a setting to make it work on your ROM. Can you provide me with some guidance how to get this to function?

Thanks again for all your work pulling together such an awesome ROM.

Regards,

Andrew
[EVO 4G Android Development] brad560:
i honestly never use the function, i assume you would just have to activate it? i know i didn't take out any of that functionality. and thank you for your kind words.
[EVO 4G Android Development] 1range:
Just mentioning I use the speak to text feature...no additional steps taken...it seems to work fine providing there's a good signal....

Running on Sprint Updated 3
[EVO 4G Android Development] abs99:
Did you have to do anything to make it work? Now I'm really confused.
[EVO 4G Android Development] abs99:
I just checked this on my wife's EVO and it works as I would expect. For example, I start an e-mail, select the body of the message, press the microphone button on the keyboard and speak. The phone very quickly translates my voice into text on the screen. I checked the settings on her phone in the section called Voice Input and Output Settings and I can see something called Voice Recognizer Settings which I do not see on the Sprint Updated 3 ROM. I am guessing this is why it isn't working - the function is not installed.

Any thoughts?

Thanks!

Andrew
[EVO 4G Android Development] 1range:
Nothing more than press the mic icon and speak, other than needing a good signal I'm not sure what else could be involved...
[EVO 4G Android Development] Captain_Throwback:
Do you have Voice Search and Speech Synthesis installed? I believe those are necessary for Speech-to-Text to work properly (at least Voice Search is, I think).

ROM: MikG v3.11 w/ICS Lite Theme | Kernel: Underworld v0.4 SBC
[EVO 4G Android Development] 1range:
It's there on mine, I haven't installed anything as far as the speak to text deal..
[EVO 4G Android Development] abs99:
I can't explain this. I am going to reflash and try to figure this out. Very strange indeed. I've been running this ROM all week with no issues and didn't even notice this until my friend brought it to my attention. I'll report back soon.

ext2 to ext3

Anyone besides me have trouble trying to format their SD card for aps2sd? Using AmonRa recovery . . No matter what I try, I keep getting the "oops" error . . . the partitioning seems to go ok, but when I try the ext2 to ext3 conversion, I get the error . . . I have ran my 32gb SD card thru windows7 error check/repair utility and it finds nothing wrong . . the error log keeps saying "no ext partition found" . . . :confused:
[EVO 4G Android Development] leebo:
Almost two weeks since my last post, and my phone is barely usable. It barely responds now. I typically have to wait a good 30 to 40 seconds to get it to even begin loading an app or switching screens

I installed NG Cache Cleaner, but it hasn't made any difference. As far as flashing a2sd, although I am still not understanding why I need to do this since Brad included it in his ROM, I am willing to try it.

But do I need to wipe my phone first?

Speaking of wiping, I plan on doing that again in a few days if I can't find some way to fix this issue.

The only thing I can think of is, maybe I installed some app that is slowing down my phone? If I re-flash, I'll try to be very careful to only re-add a few apps a day to narrow down which app could be doing this (assuming that's the issue). :mad:
[EVO 4G Android Development] SteveGrandRapids:
The "ability" for aps2sd is built into the ROM, but you must still have SD card formated/partitioned for ext3 in order for the ROM to be able use the built in aps2sd . . . format/partition via AmonRa Recovery to prepare SD card for aps2sd . . . :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] leebo:
Thanks. Yes, I understand that, and already did that.

But my question was not, "why do I need to partition my SD card", but rather, "Why are people saying we need to flash a2sd if that is already installed in this ROM?"

Does that not mean I would be installing a2sd twice???
[EVO 4G Android Development] NxNW:
[deleted - nevermind]
[EVO 4G Android Development] SteveGrandRapids:
Don't know why people are saying that . . . as you stated, the capability (script) is built into this ROM, so all one needs to do is use Recovery to format/partition SD card for ext3 and the ROM does the rest . . . ;)

Just FYI... I too miss Brad, have been running with his ROM from the beginning, find it terrific and would be very happy to have its features with the new OTA.

As FYI last night my phone got one of the messages from Big Brother saying my PRL was updated, and it is now at 60690.

No changes to anything else as far as I can see.

As Brad appears to have bowed out of this ROM and thread, some of us will be shopping for an alternative.
