13 has been great for me too. I went to the extreme to get everything clean. Probably waaayyy overkill, but I wanted to be thorough;

Unrooted

Installed the latest RUU that X posted (I wanted the baseband update)

Rooted

Got rid of twrp 2.0.0 in favor of X's CMW

Manually wiped partitions (was using superwipe)

Installed latest bulletproof

Flashed kernel

Everything is nails on this phone now. Thanks Faux!

Now lets see if we can push HTC for Wifi drivers etc...
[HTC Amaze 4G] chozyn:
I noticed after flashing this (using #28) that my capacitive button lights no longer work. Anyone have any ideas? WiFi works including tethering as does Bluetooth. Only issue for me is the buttons.... Until I flashed this I could not tether so that's a small price. Thanks for your hard work faux.

[HTC Amaze 4G] saulcho009:
This issue was presented many times. Please use the search function next time to save us the headache.

Crt animations when the screen turn on and off causes the buttons to not light. What rom do you use? I suggest using a rom that doesn't have Crt.

Bright side of S=On for Amaze

Coming from the HTC Glacier... I've noticed I really had it easy when it came to flashing... Then I get the HTC Ruby. Although no S=Off (YET, I still have faith in X, Binary, and the others), having S=On has made me learn a little more about Kernels, how to flash them, what they are, and how Faux appears to be the best when it comes to them. Now running a BulletProof v2.3.1 with 008b13 Kernel. No reboots... or errors of any kind yet. Very nice work.
[HTC Amaze 4G] chozyn:
Tried search, my error for using the wrong queries. Anyway using quicksense and added the crt. Didn't realize that until you mentioned it. Thanks for the reply and I apologize for the headache.

I'm in the same boat as you, these devs make these things look so simple. lol

If it weren't for the screen bleed from the soft key backlight, I wouldn't even consider going back to my MT4G. I'm still trying to figure out how to permanently shut those damn leds... Not sure if it's from the ROM or Kernel end...
[HTC Amaze 4G] saulcho009:
For one, you could get the Screen Filter app or you could type this into terminal or make it into a script:

su

echo 0 > /sys/class/leds/button-backlight/brightness

chmod 0333 /sys/class/leds/button-backlight/brightness

missing wifi source?

I don't have enough posts to post in the development section or I would have put this in the faux kernel thread. And I also don't know enough to know if what I found is useful, so I'll just put this out there and let someone else decide. I searched for wl1283 on the Texas Instruments site and found this development kit with android (gingerbread) source code for the TI panda board.

Can't post links yet - processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/TI-Android-GingerBread-2.3-DevKit-AM45x-Preliminary_Release

There are references to building wlan and hotspot drivers from wl1283 source code included in the devkit:

Building wlan Driver

/* Change to base of the wlan */

$cd <rowboat-source-dir>/hardware/ti/am45x/wlan/wl1283/platforms/os/linux

I have downloaded the devkit and verified there is source code there, but don't know enough about this stuff to do anything with it. The wifi chip in the Amaze is a TI wl1283, is it not? Is this at all useful?
[HTC Amaze 4G] xboarder56:

[HTC Amaze 4G] faux123:
I have the source code from aosp but it's not useful because htc ALWAYS customize their drivers for use with sense. I have already compiled and tested my drivers and it still has many issues. Once i get back from my travels, i will start serious hacking with phone in hand.

Major BAD NEWS! We got tricked by HTC!

I don't know how many of you are my twitter followers. Ever since Xboarder's pledge for me to get a phone, I've been pestering @htc and @htcdev for the missing TI WLAN source code. I have tweeted @ almost every single opportunity I can to ask HTC for the source. They replied to me saying they will look into it a few weeks ago.... Now they just gave us the final GIANT MIDDLE FINGER.

read http://twitter.com/#!/htcdev/status/147821072853635072 and go to their FAQ and scroll all the way to the bottom.

Basically they are claiming Apache Licence (the entire AOSP ROM is Apache where they DO NOT need to release source if they don't want to unlike kernel which is under GPL version 2) for their "customized" TI WLAN driver... So now we are SCREWED as far as building the driver ourselves from source.

I am going to re-think about how to create a custom kernel for this device completely from scratch... Thank you HTC for the FAIL "UNLOCK" and for NOT releasing TI WLAN source.... So much for their CEO's stance on opening up their devices... this will be my LAST HTC device until they reverse their policies....
[HTC Amaze 4G] Teo032:
that really sucks!
[HTC Amaze 4G] 2sh0rt:
Wow!!! that's really odd b/c i just received a phone call from HTC regarding a survey i took where i stated i was extremely dissatisfied about the lack of proper source. the guy who called me said that he was extremely sorry and that he is forwarding my complaint to the htcdev guys and that he would call me back and let me know what they say. Hopefully this isnt the end...

---------- Post added at 07:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:20 PM ----------

Heres the confirmation email i just received:

---------- Post added at 08:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:21 PM ----------

So i just heard back and the HTC guy said he spoke with the head of HTCDEV and they told him to refer to the newly added line in the FAQ. I told him that's pretty much bull sh** and if that is the case HTC is falsely advertising that they are a dev friendly company. I also informed him that i will be ditching my Amaze now and going back to samsung. He told me he would try and get me in touch personally with the guy he spoke with tomorrow...
[HTC Amaze 4G] Binary100100:
I wonder if I can trade in my phone for a Samsung. Cyanogen is working for them anyway... too bad we don't have anyone working for HTC (aka new Apple.)
[HTC Amaze 4G] jmhalder:
Don't kernel modules unfortunately fall into the weird loophole that it isn't actually compiled into the kernel or 'application' mentioned in the GPL, thus not requiring them to release the source, if the module was compiled into the kernel binary, and not linked as a module, it would be required that they open sourced it... Just wanted to say that I don't think they are doing anything illegal. This also could be in part of an agreement with TI, not that they don't WANT to release them.

*now on to my high horse*

It is incredibly crappy that they don't include them, even a little shady, it may not violate the GPL, but violates the spirit of the open-source kernel. I certainly hope they change their mind, or get rights to release the source, and although frankly, I don't use the Wifi much, it's pretty lame that I wouldn't be able to on a custom kernel. Faux123, do keep up the good work, at least hitting them on twitter got you a response.

*question for Faux123: will the shipping wifi module binaries work with a compiled kernel (for Sense)? Or is this just a stumbling block of building a kernel compatible with AOSP?
[HTC Amaze 4G] faux123:
They've customized the driver and I don't know what they did to it... Even with AOSP drivers, there's some disconnect between the kernel and driver so reverse engineering is the only way.

BTW, I have some good news... Watch my tweets for info ;)
[HTC Amaze 4G] Binary100100:
You got something working?
[HTC Amaze 4G] thenikeman:
Better check his Twitter. Nice kernel!
[HTC Amaze 4G] faux123:
Kernel version 004 is OUT!

Everything works including WiFi.

Overclocked to 1.728 GHz, with UV capability and some performance enhancing patches included.

Also added PPP Async for those VPN folks, also added CIFS+UTF-8 :D

Enjoy...

Flash the zip via CWM first then

Use Xboarder's Kernel Flasher to flash the boot.img

NO THANKS TO HTC for NOT providing TI-WLAN source....

I like it!

For some reason SetCPU doesn't seem to like it though.

It constantly sets my max cpu to something like 192. :confused:
[HTC Amaze 4G] jimczyz:
Very smooth, great job!!!
[HTC Amaze 4G] eliasadrian:
I almost feel dumb for suggesting this, but did you run the select device option and let it automatically find your kernel? I remember back on the G1 seeing something like your problem, and it was cuz I forgot to let it autodetect speeds with the new kernel.
[HTC Amaze 4G] psxnitro:
sorry you are talking to a complete newbie here...

X mentioned before that I need to modify the build.prop to turn off the backlight. When I open the build.prop with a txt editor can I just paste the echo and chmod part on a new line at the end?
[HTC Amaze 4G] heyodee:
Not necessarily.

Use a file manager that supports root(estrong, astrol,...) or terminal, navigate to /system/etc/init.d directory

create a file

put in the command

save it and give it a permission on 755

on boot, the file is executed. Hope it helps
[HTC Amaze 4G] seansk:
I have a question: Is the voltage table you provided in your post, undervolted table or stock? if its undervolted would you mind providing stock...my voltages are all messed up, I've been playing around with system tuner too much!!! also the table does not go all the way up to 1.7, I would really appreciate this.

Also the screen does not go to full dim while in a completely dark area, (auto brightness) this wastes extra battery, for example when i'm in bed room is completely dark i'm trying to read an ebook or something, or play a game, the autobrightness does not dim all the way down, I have to manually dim all the way down, this is not the same with stock kernel.
[HTC Amaze 4G] MentalDeath:

also using badass battery, the kernel seems to use, about 50 percent of my battery as opposed to everything else, even my screen percentage is about 15 to 25 percent while kernel is the most out of everything. is this normal?

before I start messing with this, I have some questions for those of you who have done this.

1) How stable is the current kernel?

2) Do you notice a SIGNIFICANT change in battery life, if you were to underclock it? If so, at what rate?
[HTC Amaze 4G] Binary100100:
Nope. Not tonight but maybe tomorrow.
[HTC Amaze 4G] ickedmel:

[HTC Amaze 4G] :
Ok. So I am using bulletprof 2.3.5 fauxy version. Latest kernel.

Reboots occur when on WiFi/3g. About 1-2 a day,no pattern. I could live with them but when I use gameboid to play GBA games there is always a reboot at sometime(even with no internet connection). I will try to get a logcat but as I said no obvious pattern.

I tried to get an ASCII graphic on there but I couldn't get it to work.

The only issue that I can come up with is that it's probably not going to work with non-Windows systems because it's .exe format. However you should still be able to extract it with WinRAR since it's compiled from it. If anyone has a Mac and knows how to do it I can give them the script. I don't even know if there's a compatible version for Linux.

So I'm trying to figure out if we can use our phones as USB hosts, but don't want to buy the cords if it's not possible. The changelog for v8 in the second post states USB OTG removed but then USB, OTG, and other things from added from Telus kernel source code.

Has anyone tried this or knows if it works? I tried setting up a thread to figure it out but no help. From reading around it seems to be if your kernel supports it then you just need the right app and cords. Thanks in advance.
[HTC Amaze 4G] faux123:
I have enabled and tried USB OTG capabilities in the kernel and I also have a known working USB OTG cable (I tried it on SGS2 and Galaxy Nexus and working for both). But when I tried on ALL my HTC phones (Amaze, Sensation), none of them worked with OTG USB cable. It appeared that HTC did NOT enable USB OTG support for their ROM.

So for now, I wouldn't spend any money on USB OTG for any HTC phones until HTC officially come out and say USB OTG is working on their phones....

HTC is becoming worse and worse..... sigh.. I used to love their phones.... Now I am quite disappointed...
[HTC Amaze 4G] eliasadrian:
I don't have as many phones as you (just the G1 and MT4G), but 6 months ago I never would have thought about another brand but this might be my last HTC.

QFT

To be honest I've only had two smartphones the Hero and this, and I never did my research with the Hero and got it when it was old but development was good but the hardware was sh*t. And now I have their flagship and the hardware is good but the support is crap... Such a disappointment I think this may also be my last HTC.
[HTC Amaze 4G] seansk:
agreed i don't like the way HTC is heading with a lot of their things!!!
[HTC Amaze 4G] zPacKRat:
As has been said a couple time, the Amaze is not a "world" phone so the dev community is unfortunately quite a bit smaller. I have to say that I really like the phone, for me Sense adds some corporate functionality not available in aosp that I need. Things like being able to look up internal contacts and search against the exchange server so I don't have to sync so much locally. I do hope to see more devs join the ranks though as it's good for everyone.
[HTC Amaze 4G] MentalDeath:
I understand what you mean sense is great (although a bit heavy). Yes the Amaze is not a world phone however the CDMA Hero which was only available in the US afaik had the same development if not more than its GSM counterpart and had more development for longer than the GSM version. So yes not having a world phone is a factor, however there can still be great support for the device if it is allowed. And HTC is not allowing it at the moment. Also I realize the Hero was the first phone with Sense which may have been why it was so big, and the Sensation coming out before getting all the attention, etc.

@ALL using Flash Image GUI

My experience is that Flash Image GUI 1.3.8 (Paid Version) does NOT handle the EKF Packages correctly.

Here is why I say that, I was using faux123 - Version 008 that I had installed manually...everything working great.

Then I tried to install the stock kernel EFK Packages from NRG's thread with Flash Image GUI, the program ran without issue and seemed to install the boot.img and the modules correctly...there were no errors.

After reboot, everything seemed to be fine, kernel version changed in about screen, cpu back to stock frequency, etc...but WiFi was broken. So I re-downloaded and re-flashed w/ Flash Image GUI, rebooted...same problem.

Manually pushed files and changed permissions, rebooted...Problem Solved... WiFi working again.

So that got me thinking, I just flashed back to faux123 - Version 008 using FlashImageGUI...and WiFi was broke again. Manually pushed files and changed permissions, rebooted...Problem Solved... WiFi working again.

This is reproducible 100% of the time for me. Please try it and confirm...I am guessing that if you updated from a previous faux kernel using Flash Image GUI you would not notice if some modules were not installed correcly b/c nothing would break...try going from stock to faux or vice versa see if you can reproduce.

I can flash back to the stock kernel with my eyes closed, that is not the point. The point is if people are using Flash Image GUI with EKF packages then they are probably not getting all the modules.

Got my Amaze for two days and flashed BP2.4 rom and had no problem in any way. I tried to flash the Faux kernel using the 008 flashing package from the OP. The flash looks completed fine without error but after reboots, in the phone it shows kernel info as: 2.6.35.13-g52e85af, paul@ubuntu #28 SMP PREEMPT ....., this seems still the same kernel that came from the BP2.4 rom. At the same time I am now having two problems, 1) battery won't charge full, tops at 96%. 2) in the quick setting menu, the system volume slider gets chopped out, the last line is now media volume.

I suspect the kernel is not flashed through completely but in the command window, all the msg shows all 7 files pushed, fastboot sending and writing ok.

anyone got idea?
[HTC Amaze 4G] saulcho009:
#28 is the latest kernel. You're fine.
[HTC Amaze 4G] silvscorp:
So the #28 is the Faux 008 kernel? I thought it would at least has Faux some where listed in the kernel info.

forgive me for being a semi noob, again i'm not too good with kernels as I have said before...
