I didn't flash 1.0. However, I had just installed the S-Off Honeycomb RUU (by renaming it to "PG41IMG.zip." I then cleared cache and user data, but did

not

format the system. Apparently there may be a missing file in 1.1. In any case, it booted up without a hitch.

As for how I got Netflix to work, I experimented with the No-Frills CPU app to mess with the governors. Overclocking or changing I/O had minimal effect. Using ANY governor was a mess. But, if I switched to "performance" (which is a flashy way of saying "disable all governors and run full blast"), it then works smooth as butter. So, I'm setting up Tasker to switch governors when I start Netflix. It'll eat the battery while playing Netflix, but at least it will work. I may try tuning down the CPU speed a little while running in Netflix/performance. Sort of a manual governor, if you will.

I'll look into that HW button lights fix. Thanks!

Hang on, isn't that Ligh_Mod_Flasher_V2 fix just the same as flashing the jmz-Kernel-HWkeyEnabler from the 3rd post? Besides, I'm on a Mac. I need to do this through CWM.

(sigh)....I suppose I could flash the disabler, then flash the enabler and see if that somehow wiggles things to work.

[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] mitchellvii:
I dunno. I am so damned spoiled by GB at this point. Running Desensed GB and it is just quick. Screen colors are better too IMHO. I give up use of the pen in some apps but I can just use a regular stylus instead if i really want to use those that badly.

It just seems like HC is a couple beats slower on everything than GB to me. There is definitely some sort of data bottleneck somewhere that is borking wifi pretty badly.

These HC roms are great work but for me the problem is just HC itself. Like most of the software HTC puts out, the View HC build is not ready for primetime - maybe that's why Apple and Samsung are kicking their ass?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] spartan1987:
Why not just use my enabler and disabler flashzble zips in the third post through cwm? They automatically write the kernel, framework.jar, and the express_keylayout files for you or take you back to stock.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] macr0t0r:
Yah, I said in post #542 that I re-flashed the enabler zip from post #3. However, perhaps I need to flash the disabler, then the enabler.

- Jim
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] macr0t0r:
Okay, things are looking good. I haven't dealt with the no-lights on my HW keys, but since I know where they are anyways, I may just leave it that way. I used Tasker to switch the governor to "performance" when Netflix is running, and that pretty much solved the issue. It drops back to "ondemand" upon leaving Netflix. I tried scaling back the CPU, but apparently Netflix truly wants the full CPU.

Pen usage is working perfectly. No reboots (yet). It's been running all day doing ebooks, Netflix, a couple games, etc.

I didn't notice a speed issue with the browser, so I won't mess with it for now. That may change if I hit a Flash site. We'll see.

So far...this ROM appears to be a solid win for the little tablet! Smooth and functional! Much thanks!

[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] mitchellvii:
I must be missing something. So you need to have 1.0 to make 1.1 work but there is no link to 1.0 for new users? Its probably really obvious and I'm missing it.

Also, is there a reason 1.1 isn't being patched to fix this problem?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] wolfpack612:
android.policy.jar is missing from system/framework in the 1.1 wifi version, maybe the cause of boot loops when you format the system partition.

also not sure if needed but checkinprovider.apk is not in system/app in 1.1
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] spartan1987:
Checkinprovider is not relevant as far as I know. I didn't remove android.policy.jar either so that's strange. As far as a patch goes, I'm very busy at work and will look into it on my next day off. I work anywhere from 6-7 days a week 60+ hours lol (retail manager). If you go to my folder in kevinrocksmans goo.inside account you'll find 1.0. I'll try to get the link and get it up in the third post when I'm home. Sorry guys

FYI

To all users of CypherROM,

I am sorry to inform you that I have moved on from the view. I sold it today and got a galaxy nexus. As for any existing issues, I will do my best to patch them, but as I no longer have the device, I will not be releasing any further updates.

It's been a great run, and I appreciate everyone who gave great feedback. Building this ROM has taught me many a great things which I will take with me to other devices.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] wa0qbu:
Great work thank you

Thank you for your great work for the View. I will continue to appreciate and use your Rom.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] mitchellvii:
How much were you able to sell it for?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] macr0t0r:
Ouch! I just installed this, too. Ah well, it's not like any of us can stay with a single ROM for more than two months anyways! :P Thanks for all your hard work on this! This will be the perfect daily driver for now.

[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] kevinrocksman:
Lets just say around 200-250.

I just sold mine for 250

I don't know what the deal is with your downloads but they are always soooo slow for me. I am getting like 88kb/sec. Weird right? Usually goo downloads fly for me.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] kevinrocksman:
Just depends on the servers. When they switched from goo-inside.me to goo.im that's when all the problems started
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] mitchellvii:
That's cool. Oh well, unless this thing is at least as fast as GB I don't even want to mess with it. Some dude said he had lag free Netflix fully oc'd at performance but I dunno. really want to use my pen everywhere but HC just sucks.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] kevinrocksman:
Well everything should work perfect. Just not sure how much more support can be given though :(
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Shelbee6479:
Thanks for the Rom! I will probably just keep this build as this is the only Rom I have used with this tablet. Thanks for your work!
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] macr0t0r:
Well nuts. The Custom kernel does not play well with Angry Birds Space (using ondemand with no overclock). It repeatedly crashed on my wife. She has three strong rules about the ROM she is given:

1: It plays Netflix.

2: It plays Angry Birds.

3: She gets her stylus for Draw Something.

Thankfully, HW buttons is not on the list! I installed the stock kernel. The Tasker command to set the CPU to performance for Netflix still works fine. We're all good now!

- Jim
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] mitchellvii:
Ugh, I officially and once and for all give up on HC for the View tablet.

I SO want to be able to use my pen all the time so I keep coming back with every new rom just hoping against hope that this time, maybe just this time, NETFLIX WON'T BE A STUTTERING LAG MONSTER FROM HELL.

Nope. I've tried everything. Maxxed out the OC, set it at performance - still, within seconds the video and audio get out of sync. It's just

so bad

. In GB it is flawless.

I am angry at HTC actually. Once again they have delivered software to us that looks and feels like they got about 80% done with it then just pushed it out the door because they reached a deadline, not because it was ready. Do they actually focus group ANYTHING at this company? Once MAJOR BUGS are reported by users on their website, do they MAKE ANY ATTEMPT AT ALL TO FIX THEM? Seriously?

I mean, Netflix has got to be one of the premier user apps for a tablet and IT DOESN'T EVEN WORK!!!???

Ok sorry, just had to get that off my chest. I tried, I really really tried. I guess I'll just have to go back to GB and forever give up on broad pen support.

HTC you suck.

Netflix has issues with HC in general not just this device. Seems like people are getting decent money selling their Views considering a lot of people got them pretty cheap. Selling your View and buying a device with ICS thats not HTC might be an option instead of trying to get this device to do be what it never can be.

Spartan, thanks for all of the great work you have provided for us!

Sent from my PG41200
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] spartan1987:
I'm guessing that netflix skipped right over properly building their app for HC and went straight to ICS (not confirmed). I loved my tablet, but I love my nexus more and my RAZR is limited to 4gb of data a month, so I needed an unlimited LTE venue (still waiting on Sprint to activate LTE next month).

I still plan on developing on other devices, so stay tuned. My schedule will open up a bit once I'm done with school.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] GoodVibrant-ions:
I use stock HC and the Netflix works fine on mine. One big reason I am hesitant to switch to Cypher. Go with the stock HC and see how that works....and if not it may be your tablet.

---------- Post added at 04:47 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:45 AM ----------

I bought mine brand new with a stylus a month ago for around $300 on Ebay. Honestly I wonder if I should have gotten something else. Not much support for the View from the HTC side or the XDA side.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] macr0t0r:
Ouch...Netflix doesn't work for you even with the governor set to Performance? I'm not sure what I can tell you.

On Gingerbread, the Netflix quality was capped at "Better," which was good enough quality for a 7-inch screen and was well within the capabilities of the View's hardware.

From what I've gathered from the Thrive and Iconia forums, Netflix ups the quality to "Best" if you are on Honeycomb. It assumes your hardware can handle it. You can change your settings back to "Better" from your Netflix account settings, but the setting will then apply to ALL devices, including your big LCD TV. Why is there not a setting within the friggin Netflix App itself?!?!

All my games and other videos run butter smooth. This is the fault of Netflix. Personally, it looks like they're hoping this whole "Honeycomb" thing will just blow away rather than give us the ability to tune quality on the app. Thanks, guys....

In any case, I don't have a big LCD TV. I've spent my money on little tablets and phones, so I've set my Netflix account to "Better." I had forgotten that I'd done that last year, so I didn't mention it earlier. You can try it to see if Netflix will now run fine for you on Honeycomb, but then everything is limited to "Better."

- Jim
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] mitchellvii:
Yeah I have 3 HD TVs and an HD PROJECTOR in the movie room at home. No way I'm going to downgrade all my devices so my tablet doesn't suck. I'll just stick with GB.

GB is awesome except for the pen thing and I don't really use that that often anyway. There is a Chinese patch to make the pen work with GB like it does with HC but no one seems interested in porting it. My question is, why doesn't HTC just patch GB to work with the pen better? Answer? HTC sucks. All they care about is the next dollar while abandoning customers of earlier tech.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] mitchellvii:
One thought though. All of my TVs at home do Netflix off Roku. I wonder if i can set those one way and my computer account another? Will look I to it but I doubt it will work.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] wolfpack612:
doesn't netflix readjust on the fly though? I've never had a problem on gb or hc.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] mitchellvii:
Dunno. For me its flawless on GB and unwatchable on HC.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] macr0t0r:
It adjusts quality based on your download speed. Slow internet=low quality stream. Fast internet=high quality stream. However, the Netflix app does not appear to account for hardware capability. Admittedly, that would be non-trivial. So, they took the 90% solution:

1) Assume most low-power devices are on Gingerbread. Gingerbread devices are usually small-screen anyways, so the app will automatically select the lower stream.

2) Assume that Honeycomb devices are high-powered. Let it play whatever it can download.

You can test this by measuring the amount of data it is sucking down with 3G Watchdog (or comparable app). I love my View, but it is just a single-core device. Would it kill Netflix to add a quality-option to the app itself? I think not.

Currently, limiting the quality of video on the Netflix website will affect any and all devices connected to your account. That includes Roku boxes connected to HD LCD TVs.

So, I'm guessing that I'm in the minority here. I'm an owner of an HTC View 4G (small group), with a stylus (smaller), who needs Netflix (smaller still), and is willing to throttle my whole account so that I can enjoy the Honeycomb interface (maybe two of us). I'm not anticipating a lot of support from anybody.

My co-worker dropped back to Gingerbread since so many games don't play nice with Honeycomb. He gave up and just uses a capacitive stylus instead. Not as accurate, no pressure sensitivity, and it doesn't have the button, but good enough for Draw Something.

- Jim
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] mitchellvii:
Well said Jim.

The frustrating thing for me is that these billion dollar companies like Netflix and HTC seem perfectly content to push

half-ready software

out the door and can't be bothered with fixing bugs no matter how minor.

And then we see both companies are losing money hand over fist. Is this at all surprising?

Take care of your customers idiots and maybe one day your balance sheet will look something like Samsung's or Apple's.

---------- Post added at 06:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:53 PM ----------

You know, I think I'll run a test. I'm gonna just set Netflix at "Better Quality" and see how it runs on HC. I'll also see if the quality is tolerable on my HD sets. It will probably look about the same.

I can always just turn it up to best quality if I am going to use my 1080p projector.

[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] bsmoove386:
Don't mean to spam

Just got my htc view and would defintely like to flash this but not sure. I'm stock and unrooted with Honeycomb already installed on.

I've looked but a bit confusing to find out how to root and get s-off on my htc evo view? It already has the honeycomb update so that's why I'm a bit confused as to where to start since I read someone saying dont flash any roms if you are on hc or is it that only for gingerbread roms?? :confused:

Restoring the permissions worked perfectly. This rom is nice and simple very clean! I like it alot. as far as flashing the view follow the link here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1409306

Globotron has done a great job documenting everything. it can be a little confusing but if you follow the instructions you will get it. Dont freak out if you get it locked in a boot cycle. It is fixable just get into recovery and follow directions. The answeres are out there just look for them.

Running DeSensed HC with Netflix set to just "Better Quality" off the website and it

works a charm

. Yay! Gotta go back and thank whoever suggested that.

Browsing is still a little slower than GB and some sites just get hung up for some reason, but I put on AdBlock and set Falsh to "on-demand" on Dolphin and it seems to be acceptable.

---------- Post added at 10:42 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:30 AM ----------

Well, I'm pretty disappointed to learn that both Spartan1987 and kevinrocksman have sold their Views.

I'm having trouble with bluetooth on version 1.1. It worked fine on 1.0. I upgraded over the weekend. I should have read the latest posts to see that the developer was moving on before I did that. Well anyway, the issue I'm having is that I can not connect to my bluetooth headset and when I try to click on the icon to manually connect, the settings (com.android.settings) force closes. I'm not sure what's going on or how to fix it. Any ideas?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] kevinrocksman:
I am sorry, but as for giving up on the view I have not, it is a wonderful device but my main purpose in life was to make a tool of which can benefit people on upgrading and downgrading(which I have done 100%) lol. I am still "here" but not really.

[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] macr0t0r:
Honestly, the only issues remaining in this ROM is most probably due to the JMZ kernel. I loaded the stock kernel and the tablet has been solid. It's probably best to monitor the

kernel

thread for an update at this point:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1549105

I love the JMZ kernel, but it would reboot on too many games (even Angry Birds Space). Unfortunately, jmz is spending most of his time getting ICS on the HTC EVO 4G right now, so I'm not sure if we can expect any updates on the kernel front either.

I got my View on a one-day sale for $220. The active stylus is far better than any capacitive stylus on other tablets, and it has incredible battery life when in Airplane mode. While it would be nice to see more ROMs or an ICS update, I can't really complain with what I have here. It does everything I need quite well with CypherROM.

You'll see the term: HERE for Stock Kernel + HW key Disabler.

Mind you, you will lose the ability to use the hardware keys, and you won't be able to overclock anymore. Thankfully, that hasn't really been a show-stopper for me. I suppose I could've been posting logcats of my reboots, but jmz has been absent from the kernel thread, so I figured it wasn't really worth it. Stock kernel is running fine.
