[EVO 4G Android Development] criccio:
Its impossible to use the phone with the NFC service failure popup popping up instantly after you press OK on the previous one. So yes, it does hurt. :rolleyes:

I've completely wiped the phone and flashed A5 with that GAAPs file twice now and each time this behavior is exhibited. The NFC error never goes away no matter how many times you press OK and renders the phone useless. I can't even complete the setup process.
[EVO 4G Android Development] j0ckinjz:
so how is this as a daily driver? any major issues? Bout to start trying new roms.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jdgiotta:
SD card read/write issues, random reboots, very slow, busted camera. I think you'll experience too many issue this early to be a daily driver.
[EVO 4G Android Development] POWerSUrgeSW3:
Especially for new ROM flashers... probably not a good one. There are still major glitches and slowness issues, due to no real hardware acceleration. I'd recommend backing up your current ROM and wiping then loading the alphas.

I would think though once the camera and hardware acceleration issues are dealt with, probably be a nice daily. But it takes nerves to deal with betas as daily drivers. I've been doing CM7 nightlies since the low hundreds and its painful on and off but you learn to bend with it.

That being said... try it out and see what you think. That's the best way to really tell. Backups are your friend!

Hey Platt I'm currently talking to the dev of the hd2 ics rom that recently got HA working and since they hd2 is basically an evo with physical button I figure whatever he did should help a lot with our build. Ill pm you or post here whatever info I get from him :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] PwnCloud:
If you just use it for calling, texting, and internet, it's fine.
[EVO 4G Android Development] r4dik4l:
I don't believe Platt is building this
[EVO 4G Android Development] lmoore55:
Platt is building this... and

GApps for anybody who wants it.

Possible fix for HW accel coming very soon hopefully.
[EVO 4G Android Development] r4dik4l:
I know preludedrew is working n it too. Can't Wait for ha
[EVO 4G Android Development] newtonfb:
Id use as daily driver except of the fact its too slow for me. Service, wifi, bluetooth all work ..just not hardware acceleration yet. As soon as that gets done and its quick ill be using..i could care less about camera and other small things. Keep up the good work devs!
[EVO 4G Android Development] knoc:
couldnt agree more
[EVO 4G Android Development] gehlersjr:
Found this in the hd2 forum pointing towards the snapdragon driver source release and if hd2 has allot of this stuff working then maybe it will seriously help here considering the similarities. Just trying to help https://www.codeaurora.org/gitweb/q...c46531bd9830;hb=refs/heads/android-msm-2.6.32

this! Rooting for HA before Friday :) Hopefully!
[EVO 4G Android Development] r4dik4l:
This is getting really close. Awesome
[EVO 4G Android Development] htchero789:
I thought I was done with rooting and trying out new roms as soon as got my evo but but when I saw this thread I rooted my evo in a heartbeat. I guess all I just want to say is thanks devs for keeping our phones up to date when the manufactures give up. Keep up the great work and i'll keep testing A5.

[EVO 4G Android Development] The Batman:
Has anyone had any issues with downloading any applications from the Market? Each time I try to download something, an error keeps popping up. Something to do with the apps not being ICS compatible?

Besides this issue, I am extremely grateful to the devs that keep elongating the life of my phone.
[EVO 4G Android Development] gehlersjr:
I figured as much, I am not a Dev but I have been around for quite some time and done allot of work on quite a few different manufacturers and models including patching in some of my own mods, but even my experience with Linux over the last ten years and the fact I do understand the way Android operates, I don't fully understand compiling and our how to implement the drivers from source. Just thought after seeing this it might help
[EVO 4G Android Development] gehlersjr:
http://www.androidcentral.com/qualcomm-releases-open-source-3d-snapdragon-driver This was the other link I could not get back to find, it was in the postings before nexushd2 got HW acceleration working, but from what else I am reading its just a rough patch and even though it helps greatly it still needs refinement
[EVO 4G Android Development] POWerSUrgeSW3:
Oh yeah changed that and rebooted. That with the 2D HA it was a lot better. Though still sluggish in areas. But for the brave who will put up with that and no camera it wouldn't be a bad ROM to run, even in alpha stage. I had some random reboots as well as some account syncing issues with my GMail account.

OH so tempting to run, but sadly I use my camera at work a lot. And I don't think I could stand the response time compared to what I'm use to with CM7 currently.

Awesome work and after a few more tweaks, there will be the flood of people making the switch I bet! Plus I saw CM9 is out for a couple of phones... its excited to see the work pouring out. As that means a lot of fixes should hopefully be coming soon!

Keep up the good work... drooling for ice cream :-)

ICS will breathe new life into my evo.. been using the alphas all week as a daily driver only because I'm out sick but I must say patiently waiting on the ha to be implemented.. Big ups fellas keep up the good work
[EVO 4G Android Development] RileyGrant:
I *think* the CM9 repos just received HA for HTC devices so building for the evo than porting over using the commits here could potentially give working HA, we should see soon.
[EVO 4G Android Development] r4dik4l:
that rocks, i hope so!

Thanks for the post!
[EVO 4G Android Development] roqstarmatt:
Only n I mean the ONLY reason I wont use this a daily driver is because I can't git incoming calls... My phone never rings with this rom... Other than that, it's great.. So it lags, big friggin deal... I've explored everything bout tha rom n tha lag is worth it if that was tha only problem... Great work devs!!!! Please give us a beta sooooon

I had the same issue. To fix it ie installed ics A5 and gapps ics using rom manager( put them in a queue) after the install everything worked well except for the rom's speed. The speed is laggy, but im sure this will be addressed. Im looking forword to the final build, awsome job devs.

[EVO 4G Android Development] rob_z11:
Not reliably or consistent. Mine crashes with Google TTS service stopped.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Captain_Throwback:
I switched over to Pico TTS, and that Google TTS FC stopped, and my TTS started working correctly.

I don't think that's really related to GPS - I think it just so happens that the GPS apps (like Maps) are using Google TTS and causing the crash.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mazook98:
Okay guys, bear with me here...

(I KNOW these are from two different devices, first of all.)

Anyway: looking around the web today, I found a new, source-built version of ICS for an International Samsung GalaxyS2, but a new one with working hardware acceleration. I extracted that, and basically just took a look at the two build.props (the Samsung one, and this alpha5 one), as a first step experiment, to see if there were any glaring differences....

To me, I think there is one:

This is a close-up of the additions to the build.prop for this latest EVO4G build:

THIS is a close-up of the additions to the build.prop for the "HA working" SGS2 build:

Do you see the same line that I'm seeing?

**My problem is that the EVO4G I usually use was temporarily lost by my 8-year-old daughter, so I have no way to test out what may be a very simple fix....Could anyone else try an edited build.prop/dalvikwipe/reboot combo and see if it gets us anywhere?

You never know...Sometimes a change to a line or two in the build.prop can result in some awesome things.

(Just throwing it out there: If it's a ridiculous idea, please keep the flames turned down...I've had a rough day.)

[EVO 4G Android Development] Wisiwyg:
So, might be as simple as adding this line to the build.prop?

"video.accelerate.hw=1"

That would be very cool if it were the case. Wish I knew more about it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Shidell:
I just editted my build.prop (on A5) to include:

video.accelerate.hw=1

But unfortunately that alone doesn't seem to have any effect.
[EVO 4G Android Development] atadres:
im about to test that just changed my build prop and copying it back onto my phones sd card for a fresh install here we goo!!

[EVO 4G Android Development] rob_z11:
I saw another line in build.prop which says temp disabled hardware acceleration = true. I have changed that to false, and added video.accelerate.hw=1 to see what happens..

I seriously doubt that that is it?

Update: no change..
[EVO 4G Android Development] htchero789:
Yea I think you have to add a file so that it has some kind of effect
[EVO 4G Android Development] atadres:
I Think we should focuse more on the HD2s HWA since they share similar specs with the evo and we both have the snap drag processor has anyone tried modifying there patch? to install onto the evo? through recovery? as an addon to the rom to allow HW acceleration?
[EVO 4G Android Development] whiterider13:
ankuch posted his EGL hack to get HW acceleration working over on his HD2 thread. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1361940

Explained how to hack for EGL - updated as much as

1. You need rights *.so adreno200. Not all *.so worked with ICS. You can try from my build.

2. You should patch these files:

DisplayHardware.cpp - selectConfigForPixelFormat

SurfaceFlinger.cpp - SurfaceFlinger::createNormalSurface or define NO_RGBX_8888

eglApi.cpp - eglSwapBuffers

glext.h - remap GL_TEXTURE_EXTERNAL_OES

gl2ext.h - remap GL_TEXTURE_EXTERNAL_OES

state.cpp - fix case GL_TEXTURE_EXTERNAL_OES

BootAnimation.cpp - BootAnimation::android()
