[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] mitchellvii:
My one complaint about HC.

Even running this rom, even oc'd to the max, browsing in HC is just SO DAMNED SLOW.

Ugh.

Why? I went back to GB just stock for a few days. Browsing was blazing fast. Pages came up almost instantly. Then back to HC (missed the pen input) and it's the same damned thing: page loads 90% of the way very quickly then just "sticks" for about 5 seconds before it appears. What the hell?

What is it about HC that causes this browser "stick"? Any ideas? I really want to use HC but I feel like I'm browsing on a 14.4 connection here.

** Example. I just opened www.msnbc.com as a test because it is a site with lots of graphics on it. In GB this took maybe 1 second to load. In HC it loaded 90% of the way in 3 seconds, then took another 7 seconds to appear. Seriously, WTH? 10 seconds to load a webpage on a broadband connection?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] jatreats:
Yes I am getting same issue I believe this rom is using not the stock HC browser but Chrome??
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] mitchellvii:
No, Chrome is an ICS thing. This is an HC rom.

It seems to be some sort of memory leak. When I first start up the browser in HC, it seems pretty snappy. But then the longer I browse the slower it gets until web pages will not load at all. One workaround seems to be to have all new web pages open in a separate tab. This makers things faster but still slower than GB. Also turn off automatic loading of flash helps.

Very odd. I wish a dev could address this issue. This is clearly a bug. I am trying to live with this because I really want the extra pen input but this is close to intolerable.

Issues

Been running Desensed for a few days and noticed the following issues:

Can't seem to get WiFi Tethering to run - obviously I'm rooted and S-off. Each app I've tried does work, but when I try to connect to the network from my laptop, I initially get 'Limited or no connectivity' and then once it connects and I try to go to a webpage, Chrome returns 'DNS Lookup Failed'

UPDATED [4/11/2012]. Got this to eventually work as follows I installed latest Wifi Tether app apk from http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/downloads/list (NOTE: On tablet, will need to go to Settings > Applications > Check ‘Unknown sources’ first so you can install). Started Wifi Tether app.

Went into Wifi Tether settings and in the LAN section, checked ‘Routing Fix’. In Wifi section, also checked HTC Evo 4G in Change-Device-Profile. Not sure if both or one of these did the trick, but works great now. I did also flash to stock kernel, so don't know if that had an effect. Hope this might someone else with the same issue.

Can't seem to connect to audio BT devices - I believe this is a known HC issues, so not too worried about this

At random points during the day, my tablet goes into what I can only describe as splash screen mode, with the flying animated boxes. I need to do power off and restart to resolve. Interestingly, the last few times it seems be when I'm on Skype and get disconnected

Anyone had these issues or any remedies..

Kind regards
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Ceco85:
richnwilson at dot 3 you speak about the bootloops. Install the stock kernel and will be fine. I don't know what is wrong but the OC kernel works great with stock HC..
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] freak4dell:
Yup browsing is slow on HC. Really, HC as a whole is slower than GB was.

I'm strongly considering just selling my View and getting some other tablet. HC is just not a good platform, and ICS development doesn't seem to be going anywhere with this thing.

Chrome is only for 4.0 and up.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] mitchellvii:
This tablet runs great on GB. HC just isn't ready for primetime. This ROM is great and helps, but its still lipstick on a pig. Too bad. I hate how HTC puts out a product then abandons all development for it. Maybe why HTC is in trouble.

Still for $250 this is a great tablet. If you are going to run HC this is.the best rom IMHO.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] freak4dell:
Agreed. I do like this HC ROM better than the stock one for sure. I have no problem with the HC development for the View, but HC as a whole is just not that great. What I really want to see is ICS, since I don't want to be stuck on GB for another few years, but like I said, that doesn't seem to be going anywhere.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] graffixnyc:
Hmm ok, let me throw together a cwm flashable to see if that fixes it. What's the exact name of the APK?

From what I have noticed some sites take longer to load. Like if I try to load up a xda thread it does that.

Sorry, there is nothing that can be done. You must remember Google never really released the HC source so for us devs there isnt much we can do in terms of fixing bugs in HC. They did release some of the HC source when they released the ICS source but it is incomplete and from what I hear is un buildable. How am I expected to fix a bug in code if I (or anyone else) doesnt have access to? It's not possible.

there are a number of 3rd party browsers you can use. I happen to prefer Dolphin HD browser.

The BT issue I do think is known, But I cant really say as I dont use it for audio. I only use bluetooth for connecting to my phone for the texttab app.

tethering I'm also not really sure about as I dont use my tablet for that. If anything I share my phone's connection with my tablet as I dont use sprint service. Maybe someone else that has 3g/4g service can chime in on this.

The random reboots could be the kernel. Some tablets running my rom seem to be able to run it no problem, others have random reboots etc.. I chalk this up to not all chips being made the same. Just like on phones and some people can OC at a higher speed than others and some lock up at those speeds. It all depends on what your chip can handle.

I didnt have random reboots or bootloops with the OC kernel, but my battery did drain pretty quickly. I have since switched to using the stock kernel.

That is odd, because my rom is stock HC. It's based off the stock OTA rom. The only difference is a lot of the sense and HTC apps have been removed and replaced with stock HC apps. But the system and everything is exactly the same as stock. I really dont understand why the kernel plays nice for some, and for others not so much. The only thing I can think of I stated in my above response to rich
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] mitchellvii:
I have to believe that the browser slowness is some kid of caching bottleneck as it seems to get worse the longer you browse. Probably a very easy bug that HTC never bothered to fix. They are not very good at updating things or making tweaks.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] wyldkard:
HC loads the full web pages for some reason. GB only loaded the mobile version, thats why it was faster. And some sites are "heavier " than other, they load more content therefore slower.

Try disbleing java or flash from browser settings or make it ondemand and see if you notice difference. Also try diff browsers. Dolphin and Boat are good, firefox is bit slower.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] jatreats:
I had one random reboot and changed my set cpu governer to smartass no reboots since also battery is better and pages are loading good now set browser to tablet and I think with the google syncing going on for email and browser bookmarks etc for new rom install was using battery and bandwith? I am at 1920 on cpu and may set a profile to declock at heat certain setting as heat screws with cpu and battery performance. I like this wi fi only rom and oc kernel hardware buttons, lighted buttons, honeybar, virtual button, and full pen use makes this a great working tablet for me. Good job Thanks graffixnyc!

Bootloop issues

Ceco85 / graffixnyc,

Thanks for the responses to my questions - particularly the bootloop issues I was experiencing.

Again apologies for my ignorance here as this is the first time I've installed a custom ROM, but are you both implying I should download and flash the 'Version 2.1 with Stock Kernel ROM' to resolve this ?

I notice there is also a link to 'Stock HC Kernal with init.d support' - do I need to flash this after the ROM, and before the '3g/4g service flash' and 'shortcuts'.

Kind regards

Rich
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] freak4dell:
Well...now the Flyer guys have CM7, if anybody wants to take a shot at porting that. Probably the only way to ever truly get Sense off of this thing.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] graffixnyc:
You dont have to flash the full rom again, you can just flash that Stock Kernel zip to get the stock kernel. Are you s-offed or HTC unlocked?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] graffixnyc:
yeah I saw that.. I posted a message there, I also downloaded it, but I know kernels are different and I dont know anything about kernel deving

We would need someone to modify the code for the flyer kernel to work on the view
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] richnwilson:
Stock Kernel

Hi graffixnyc,

I am s-off and HTC unlocked,as well as rooted. I flashed EXPRESS-StockHC.zip, how do I know if it installed correctly and is running ?

Thanks again for your prompt responses

Absolutely love this rom, but I have a question regarding the missing default HTC apps that worked with the Scribe pen. I used the Reader app all the time to highlight epubs.

Does anyone know how I can get that app back? Or if there are any alternatives I'm open to suggestions!
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] angrymanhands:
You could run a Google search for the reader.apk I usually am able to find what I'm looking for that way. Otherwise maybe someone here has the apk I'm not at my computer now, but I'll check back later to see if you were able to find it. If not I'll see if I can post it.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] graffixnyc:
Then it worked :) you are on the stock kernel now
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] richnwilson:
Kernel Version

Thanks graffixnyc - really liking the ROM. Only small complaint I have is that some of the windows get 'cut off'. For example, when I click on the 'multi-tasking menu' (icon to the right of home), The app text and image are cut off. Likewise when I use Wavelauncher, it cuts off the last of my apps in the folder window.

Thanks for all your efforts.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] ORTOX:
Thanks for the reply. I just found a post using Google about removing the apk from a stock rom so I'll probably just do that:

"U can use 7zip and open /system/app and /data/app and delete or drag and drop apks as long as u open the rom as an archive"

Netflix lagging badly

Has anyone else noticed Netflix lagging badly with this rom? I get about 5 minutes into a show and the sound gets ahead of the video.

Any ideas? Something about the wifi in HC just seems broken to me. Everything coming over wifi is just slower.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] freak4dell:
On this ROM, WiFi would randomly disconnect sometimes for me. I'm running CypherROM now (I really do miss the non-Sense portion, though), and it's a bit better, but it's not perfect.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] kudosmog:
I've been noticing the wifi issue also since coming to HC. Running CypherROM or DeSensed, the browser is just slow....hangs constantly, etc. regardless of the app used.

Pretty frustrating. I've tried only a few different things to repair it though. Wasn't an issue when I first had the device and seemed to creep in slowly and now it's just terrible.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] kevinrocksman:
What all browsers have you tried?

---------- Post added at 09:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:40 PM ----------

try this

Go to Browser ==> Settings ==> Advanced ==> Change “Enable Plug-Ins” to “On Demand”
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] freak4dell:
The stock browser, Dolphin, Firefox, and Opera.

The lagging browser issue is separate, I think. That only happened on the stock browser. The WiFi issue will happen regardless of whether I'm browsing or not. I will literally see the WiFi icon disappear from the status bar, then come back a couple minutes later. If I don't feel like waiting for it to come back, I can manually turn WiFi off and back on, and it will come back right away.

As far as I've noticed, on CypherROM, WiFi only disconnects when the tablet goes to sleep, which I believe is just because I haven't changed that setting yet.

I really am getting tired of Honeycomb in general, though. Hoping an ICS ROM comes out before July...otherwise I think I'm going to get the Nexus tablet.

---------- Post added at 02:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:46 PM ----------

For your problem, try a different browser. The stock browser seems to have some sort of memory leak problem. Or try what kevinrocksman posted.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] kevinrocksman:
Plugins does seem like a "somewhat correct" answer, think about firefox just recently (divorced it just recently)... ever since shockwave and java updated long ago I kept getting freezes and lag on firefox so I had to adjust and switch to something different. I think its a plugin prob.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] mitchellvii:
The ONLY reason - and I mean ONLY reason I use HC is the extra pen support. I find myself using the pen less and less though. Trying to take notes on the view with its small slippery screen is just difficult. The fact that the Notes app from HTC is poorly done doesn't help.

GB is just so much faster at every level. Considering I use Netflix all the time and hardly use the pen at all anymore I may go back.

This is a great rom and I want so badly to love it, but HC makes it difficult.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] casmi:
The Netflix issue is a common one, had those issues with stock HC S-ON before rooted. It is a problem with the app, check all the comments in the play store. Can't say how it works with GB.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] spartan1987:
Well perfect is hard to compete against lol
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] freak4dell:
Well, if anyone can get close, it's XDA devs. :D
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] graffixnyc:
I just think HC is the bastard android version.. lol There is a reason why google never fully released the source for HC.. I've been thinking of doing a GB desensed version but at this point not sure if it's worth it..

What I have noticed is the tablet FLIES is all areas but once you load it full of apps performance really suffers. I personally think it's because of a number of reasons. 1. HC just sucks, 2. I think this is where the fact that it's a single core comes into play especially running HC with sense on top of that which we all know is a resource hog in itself. I basically wiped my tab and only put games and some other apps for reading, note taking etc, document viewing/editing but that's about it. Trying to keep it as minimal as possible. I have my Trasformer TF 101 and TF 201 for the stuff I need more power for :)
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Pancho Punch:
Why wouldn't it be worth it? You'd be the king of both worlds with such debloating skills. It would be a dream come true, unless there's stuff I may have missed. Just make sure to have the installation say something scarier, in blood red font, to turn my stomach upside down for a second time. :p
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] mitchellvii:
Well, finally threw up my hands, gave up on broad pen input and went back to GB. Lord it is like a different tablet. Netflix runs butter smooth. Browsing is quick. Even screen colors are richer.

DESENSED:I personally would love a desensed GB rom.

** I wonder how hard it would be for a developer to figure out broader pen input for GB?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] graffixnyc:
ok ok...... I'm downgrading to GB now so I can start work on a DeSensed verison of GB. The more broad pen support would be a huge undertaking and I'm not too proud to say it's currently above my skill set.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] freak4dell:
Question...does the CM7 ROM that the Flyer guys have support broad pen input, or just the basic pen input that was originally supported in the stock GB ROM?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] graffixnyc:
No idea...
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] mitchellvii:
Awesome! Excited to hear this. GB is just a better user experience.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] mitchellvii:
Wonder how hard it would be to port this to the View? I bet Viper could do it.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] freak4dell:
Well, graffixnyc asked them for the source code, but I don't know if they ever gave it to him. I know one of our excellent devs could definitely do it if they had the source code.

It seems the View guys always get shafted. We can't get a good kernel to build ICS, and we can't seem to get the source code for the kernel for CM7...
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] mitchellvii:
Well unfortunately we are the proud owners of a relatively obscure device. I'm glad we have what we have. Nevertheless, maybe we can talk one of the Flyer Devs into throwing us a bone.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] freak4dell:
Yeah, I understand our device is not common, but other than the cellular radio, the tablet really isn't much different than the Flyer. I know I'd be fine with not having a working radio at all (I don't use it), and I bet others would be fine with temporarily losing the radio if it meant we got some AOSP ROM development rolling.

I'm pretty much just being a Monday morning quarterback, though, since I can't actually do any development myself.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] mitchellvii:
I PM'd the dev on the CM rom there to see if he would consider porting it for us. We'll see.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] graffixnyc:
Ok so the GB version has begun.. I downgraded to GB with the RUU Stock rom, I'm now deodexing it, added in the goodies (root, busybox, init.d) after it's done deodexing then the experimental stuff begins, removing as much as possible unit **** starts breaking and replacing whatever HTC app I can with an AOSP app that will work, then after all that's done I'll theme it a bit and then release a beta
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] mitchellvii:
Good luck! :)
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Pancho Punch:
Indeed! Best news I have read today.

By the way, getting a bit out of track with a random thought before I forget, wouldn't it be possible for the hardware buttons to be mapped to do other stuff? For example, have the middle one (settings button) reveal/hide the HC bar (for those that want to keep track of the time, battery, or access the actual settings quickly, for example), or have it show the recent apps list.

Just a thought, with the reason being mainly about the possibility of remapping such buttons.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] freak4dell:
That would be pretty sweet.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] macr0t0r:
Outstanding! I'm rocking an AOSP Gingerbread build (TalonROM) on my HTC Inspire, so this would be excellent. I'm assuming this would be a new thread?

Also go into applications and clear all cache's etc. Try other sizes beside 170, something may work. 170 is a non-standard size. 180 or 190 may work better.
