Do what Dinman said, but substitute SHA-1 for the MD5. If you need a quick way to verify the SHA-1 checksum, grab either Android File Verifier from the Market (the free version, which is my personal favorite for verifying hashes), or ES File Explorer. When you open the app, just find the ROMs .zip file, long-press, and choose to verify the SHA-1 instead of the MD5. It sounds like either a bad download or a problem with the wipe prior to the flash.

Can someone with static bluetooth during phone calls try out this boot image (extract boot.img and flash via fastboot) .. Let me know if this works. If it does then ill have a new version up with that, fixed stock Camera FCing, used old audio libs to fix mic issues..etc.., plus updated qcom/display from CAF
[HTC Inspire 4G] nhshah7:
downloading and re-flashing aospx ar15 now. i'll report back soon. thanks :)
[HTC Inspire 4G] existz:
If you want to wait a minute ill have AR16 up..decided to just go ahead and upload it.., has quite a few other fixes..so if it doesnt fix BT ill fix it in next release
[HTC Inspire 4G] existz:
UPDATE

AR16:

msm7x30-common: updated headers

qcom/display: updates from CodeAurora

Camera: prebuilt apk to fix force closing

system/core: updated hosts file for ad blocking

system/core: Safely restart services to avoid race conditions

Superuser: fixed FC when checking for su binary update

Ace: updated init.spade.rc and ueventd (possible BT fix??)

hardware/msm7k: compiled with old audio libs (fixes mic issues)

prebuilt: updated to Linaro Android 4.6.3-2012.01 toolchain

Alot of fixes in this build, but not sure if BT calling is fixed..so let me know..Also if stock Camera still doesnt work

then you need to clear the Camera app data under Settings->Apps ..scroll all the way to the right

Thanks to LordClockan for pinpointing BT static issue

[HTC Inspire 4G] nhshah7:
In-car BT calling worked no issues or static! Not sure if it was supposed to fix the in-app mic issue, but that still doesn't work. I'll flash AR 16 now and report back.

BTW I can't get MIUI camera working on here. It just FC's. Has anyone else had any luck with it? I dropped it into /system/apps before flashing, which usually does the trick for me.
[HTC Inspire 4G] existz:
AR16 has mic fix and everything else.., also includes the updated Camera apk, so stock camera works..., if it still FCs then clear app data for the Camera under Settings->Apps .., but should work out of the box with AR16
[HTC Inspire 4G] LatinMind:
Will andromodus kernal work with this rom?
[HTC Inspire 4G] Youngunn2008:
no not the governors, scripts that aren't included, supercharger would be an example, if it touches the VDD numbers, or the clock speed. or also the uv scripts written by killersloth, which is what i am currently using
[HTC Inspire 4G] stavros3006:
I was the first to report the issue and I have never used OC/UV scripts in my life.

Anyone know of a working HTC (HTC ime mod) keyboard? I can get the black keyboard floating around to be used without spell correction and word prediction, but otherwise it just crashes.
[HTC Inspire 4G] ST3ALTHPSYCH0:
I'm running an rpm based distro, If you get it running first, post instructions, please. I probably won't have time until this weekend, but if I get to it first, I'll get a how to up for rpm distros (at least yum rpm distros).
[HTC Inspire 4G] famewolf:
^oO^ Will do but you may still beat me...it's been going for 5 hours on the "repo sync" step.

I'm trying to figure out why it looks to be downloading all this stuff not related to our phone...for example:

Downloading device/samsung/tuna: 3% (26MB/678MB), done.

Also saw it grabbing directories for froyo and gingerbread.....maybe the sync needs to be limited more than the direction in http://code.google.com/p/aospx/wiki/Source do.

The biggest issue you will have is making sure you have the prerequisites as your distro and mine may name a package differently then the ubuntu ones listed.

Anyone know how big the .repo directory actually is? Maybe I need to allocate more space for it.
[HTC Inspire 4G] itechscs:
AR27 is working perfect on my inspire, no lag even under clocked.
[HTC Inspire 4G] holeindalip:
@existz after 4 attempts to download through goo manager ( it kept failing) I downloaded from Google code again wiped everything except for data (flashed over ar27) everything is smooth again with the stock ar27 kernel.so idk maybe we had some bad downloads because I flashed the revamped kernel you posted and it was still bad???
[HTC Inspire 4G] ST3ALTHPSYCH0:
30Mb/s symmetric Fiber FTW. :-D Jelly?
[HTC Inspire 4G] sumkee:
Same here. Flashed on top of AR26. AR27 hasn't given me any problem, no lag whatsoever, but I'm not underclocked. Battery has been the same as AR26 (very good). Temple run is working. 4.0.4 seems to have gotten a fix for the uploading problems to Picasa if you have a secondary google acct, now its all good.:D

Great work Existz. *THUMBS UP*
[HTC Inspire 4G] famewolf:
Are you inferring that I'm toast? :p
[HTC Inspire 4G] existz:
I will have an update here later today...Reverted back to old frequency layout and compiled with 4.6 tool chain for the kernel (instead of 4.7)... I originally changed it to give a little more variety, but its probably best to stick with what's known to work... Honestly don't want to have to fix more bugs than I have to lol..and I'm afraid with 50 steps that it will introduce new bugs sooner or later...So unless its 110% certain that its needed, probably best to stick with what's known to work and work well.

Also updated auto brightness to be in line with CM along with fix for soft keys not lighting up when auto brightness is disabled. However, since syncing with CM autobright, it goes back to the stock behavior to where it will get brighter with auto brightness, but it will stay at the highest level seen until screen goes off (instead of current aospX behavior where back light will also decrease during use. If you guys end up wanting it to go back to how it is now, then I won't care to change it in future release..just let me know

There's also a few other various changes , such as updated Email and Exchange , so that should fix some issues for Exchange. Plus will pull in any new changes from AOSP and CAF before I release .
[HTC Inspire 4G] Matt James:
You are the man!
[HTC Inspire 4G] :
Maybe this can help. I'll probably work on it tonight or tomorrow, so If I'm able to set it up at my pc, I'll post simple instructions.

[HTC Inspire 4G] MonsterBandit:
cool so AR27.5 should be up later today yes?
[HTC Inspire 4G] vigorito:
Do we need to flash inspire mod file also like on previous build?
[HTC Inspire 4G] MonsterBandit:
always
[HTC Inspire 4G] famewolf:
Thanks for the information I'll hit the thanks button once I'm back home.
[HTC Inspire 4G] 0space_monkey0:
for people having issue with instagram working,

click on the camera button, you should be greeted with a black screen.

hit load pic and then press back, camera will load.
[HTC Inspire 4G] :
Actually, i think you only need to use this repo to build from source

https://github.com/aospX/android

existz am I correct?
[HTC Inspire 4G] existz:
That's just the manifest, its what tells repo/git what to sync. You need to use the command ...

repo init -u git://github.com/aospX/android.git -b ics-devel

repo sync

And that will sync with everything in the manifest (default.xml) …

But to the statement earlier about it syncing with froyo, gingerbread..etc.. That's how git/repo works. If there's multiple branches/tags for a certain source (say frameworks/base), then it automatically pulls it in as a remote. The "-b ics-devel" part of the repo command tells it to sync with the ics-devel branch of my manifest.. So after everything is downloaded and synced the source will only be that of what's defined in default.xml on the ics-devel branch
[HTC Inspire 4G] :
Good to know. Thanks
[HTC Inspire 4G] famewolf:
After multiple attempts I appear unable to get the following...is it a show stopper?

[HTC Inspire 4G] existz:
You will just have to keep trying "repo sync", sometimes Googles servers are either overloaded or sometimes down, just re-run "repo sync" and it will eventually sync
[HTC Inspire 4G] RampageRR:
I'm good with the CM version of auto brightness if it keeps it from going light to dark to light if I move the phone an inch to the right while reading something near sunlight.
[HTC Inspire 4G] existz:
Well, I went back and changed the default behavior to the way its always been in aospX (will allow it to dim).., which the default autobrightness levels has changed some with syncing to CM, so that should help with that
[HTC Inspire 4G] 0space_monkey0:
just also wanted to say thanks for the avrcp 1.3 update... i can finally see the track info from my pioneers deck in the car.... awesome.
[HTC Inspire 4G] existz:
UPDATE

AR28:

kernel: Revert back to old cpu frequency layout

framework: Bring auto-brightness inline with CM

Keyboard backlight for non-autobrightness fix (Issue #14)

google: Updated Email/Exchange apks to 4.0.4 version (Issue #43)

NOTE:

Since I reverted back to old cpu frequency layout, you can use normal UV scripts for TalonACE kernel again.

Downloads:

GoogleCode: http://code.google.com/p/aospx/downloads/list

GooManager: UPLOADING

Ive uploaded to Goo but for some reason its not refreshing on their server..., so hopefully it will show up soon, if not I will try reuploading .. But GoogleCode site is good to go.
[HTC Inspire 4G] darkoon@yahoo.com:
can we upgrade to 28 without doing a full wipe now?
[HTC Inspire 4G] existz:
I know there's not much changed in this version but I recommend everyone who flashed AR27 to update to this build, even if it really doesn't appeal to you, there was some internal changes to the kernel (switched back to 4.6 toolchain) and a few bugs fixed..so I need everyone on the same page. It will make future bug fixing/reporting easier .. So please update regardless if u don't benefit from it or if ur just to lazy :P
[HTC Inspire 4G] existz:
If you full wiped to 27 then you should be good.. But if you run into any issues make sure its reproducable on a clean install before posting.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Matt James:
Downloading now mate. Will let you know in a little bit how its running for me.
[HTC Inspire 4G] MonsterBandit:
flashed via clean install restoring apps now...thanks ex
[HTC Inspire 4G] brizzle1986:
Just pulled from source an hour ago...am I good to go?
[HTC Inspire 4G] oFUNGUSo:
oh sweet. downloading now.

had issue with 27 and went back to 26......wasnt expecting 28 to come so quick :D
[HTC Inspire 4G] young440:
No goo yet?

Sent from the heavens using XDA
[HTC Inspire 4G] existz:
Not yet.., ive reuploaded again and its still not showing up. I will wait till tomorrow to see if it updates, if not ill try getting ahold of them. But in mean time use Google Code link, IMO its alot faster anyways...and more reliable
[HTC Inspire 4G] existz:
You should be.., only thing ive pushed since then was just updated version to AR28 and some commits from AOSP, but they just move some stuff to a new location so it wont effect anything

OFF TOPIC:

BTW im digging the new Seahawks uniforms from Nike this year
[HTC Inspire 4G] Matt James:
So I've been running it for a while now and its definitely not as smooth as 26. Still choppy scrolling between the different home screens. However, as you wanted, I will stick with it unless it just gets worse. I'm not OCed or UVed either.
[HTC Inspire 4G] stavros3006:
Hey existz, awesome update, the app drawer is super smooth, homescreens though still a bit choppy but not as before.

Can you check your PM I just sent you something.

Thanks
[HTC Inspire 4G] gvsukids:
Same issues. Choppy homescreens and less impressive than 26 which was smooth.
[HTC Inspire 4G] existz:
Can those of you with "stuttering" try a different launcher? Nova, Apex..etc.. Just to see if its still there? Its possible its something in the 4.0.4 update to the Launcher thats causing it.. Which if it is in the launcher, make sure you use a version thats not updated to 4.0.4
[HTC Inspire 4G] gvsukids:
I'm using Nova, which I used with 26. I do like how after a reboot the soft keys stay lit with auto brightness off.
[HTC Inspire 4G] PipelinerArd:
Im running AR27 with the latest Nova and I haven't had any "shuttering" on my inspire. Also running stock kernel
[HTC Inspire 4G] existz:
Same here...still not having any stuttering..etc.. I saw it "some" on AR27, maybe 2-3 times, but AR28 is smooth as before for me (even went back to 26 and see no difference)..so its gonna be hard to narrow it down..or at least find a common denominator
[HTC Inspire 4G] Matt James:
The app launcher is fine but yeah, scrolling between home screens is pretty choppy. I Just downloaded Nova Launcher and its still choppy so that didnt fix the issue.
[HTC Inspire 4G] existz:
Its very possible its something with KSM... I've been trying to figure out why it would only affect swiping of the home screens and not really affect anything else...

Can a few people try making an init.d script that only contains below? Make sure permissions matches the others and reboot....you can name it something like "02ksm" or whatever..shouldn't matter

# !/system/bin/sh

echo "0" > /sys/kernel/mm/ksm/run

Just place in /etc/init.d/ , make sure permissions are the same as the others and reboot... Once you rebooted u can see if it took by typing the following in a terminal emulator ...

su
cat /sys/kernel/mm/ksm/run

...it should show 0... Then let me know if it helps any
[HTC Inspire 4G] brizzle1986:
Haha, yeah was shocked how big of a makeover they got ...you can till we're Nikes home town team
[HTC Inspire 4G] Matt James:
I would try that but I have no idea where to start. I'm not that savvy with the code side of things :( My camera has refused to work 3 times in a row and then it finally decide to be nice. Just throwing that out there also. Thanks for all the hardwork mate!

edit: Instagram fc's everytime I use it now with the stock camera. Go into the Instagram settings, camera options, uncheck use IG camera. Now take a picture inside IG using the stock camera and when it asks you to crop it before adding filters it closes on me. Its happend 4 times back to back now.
[HTC Inspire 4G] stavros3006:
Tried it with init.d ex, terminal emulator shows 0 but no change in behavior.
[HTC Inspire 4G] MonsterBandit:
IDK if i'm the only one but if you find that your apps aren't showing in the market just go to manage apps, play market, clear data, and force stop, reopen and you should be good to go.

off topic side note...anyone use desk sms? and if so have u noticed the web app isnt working?

[HTC Inspire 4G] famewolf:
hmm well at the rate my poor edge connection is doing the repo sync I should have ar28 just in time for you to announce br1 :P

Gonna keep trying though....if we build from source do we still have the opportunity to add our own packages...for instance our own launcher or include es file explorer? Obviously you would provide 0 support if we monkey'd with the build. I'm just trying to learn whats possible.
[HTC Inspire 4G] harpo1:
When you build it outputs a ROM zip just like existz releases so you can add or delete what you normally do.
[HTC Inspire 4G] inspire4gfreak:
I can try to explain how "choppy" this is...

When you start your swipe with your finger, your homescreen begins transition to the next one, and then, when you pick your finger up from the screen, that transition stops, another transition starts and lasts until next homescreen is displayed. That pause or break that occurs when you pick your finger up causes that "choppiness" feeling. Maybe it's some touchscreen issue, like with Temple Run, just a wild guess...
[HTC Inspire 4G] existz:
Thank you for the explanation..its very possible that its because of the touchscreen change.. I'll see if I can find anything in regards to that.. But it *might* end up coming down to either the choppiness or issues with Temple Run...but ill see if I can try to fix both. Because before I fixed temple run (26) we was using the new method of the legacy TS..but then in 27 I had to revert back to the old method, which fixed temple run..so we may have to choose between the two until a fix is out..(assuming that is the issue)
[HTC Inspire 4G] gvsukids:
Nova works better than Launcher, which as described jerkily transitions between homescreens. The drawer on Launcher works smoothly.

Camera does fc when first opened and then works normally afterwards.
[HTC Inspire 4G] famewolf:
Has anyone tried apex launcher to see how it does? Perhaps it could be used as a workaround. I only mention apex because some features in nova that are pay only are available in the free apex.
[HTC Inspire 4G] nhshah7:
+1! Even debated going back to talon ace for this feature at one point :)
[HTC Inspire 4G] gvsukids:
Apex homescreen snaps with less jerky motion . Opening and closing the drawer works smoothly. Better choice than Launcher.
[HTC Inspire 4G] sportscrazed2:
quick question can i do a full wipe once and just wipe cache/dalvik from now on? i've gotten complete lockups before and bought mybackup a few minutes ago so did a full wipe to see if it improves
[HTC Inspire 4G] :
Inspire 4G running AR28. No lag, no jerkiness, stock cpu.

EDIT: Also, I use Apex Launcher.

[HTC Inspire 4G] Rakkesh27:
exitz, ROM was fab..installed AR28 only thing i observed is after installing AR27 & AR28 i am getting a message "Unfortunately Launcher has stopped working" when I press Ok it loading again...
[HTC Inspire 4G] tenseconddelay:
FWIW. I'm still on AR25. I flashed the temple run .zip and I have no choppieness in launcher.
[HTC Inspire 4G] inspire4gfreak:
Hmmmmm... Existz, I found one more issue. I cant use any of those "screen off and lock" widgets or apps. Every time I tap on it, screen indeed turns off and then immidiately turns on again. Very unusual...
[HTC Inspire 4G] inspire4gfreak:
I tried nova and apex launcher and, in the end, stock launcher works far more smoother for me than those two. Between them, apex is smoother than nova. But maybe that's just me...
[HTC Inspire 4G] Bzow:
Existz will let you know when he thinks a full wipe should be done. This being an alpha build, he has also mentioned that if a bug is encountered, you should do a full wipe and try to reproduce the problem, before restoring any apps.
[HTC Inspire 4G] rkmoray:
I Just installed AR28 with the touchscreen fix, then I restored apps and system data using titainium.....we shall see how it goes.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Bzow:
How does restoring apps usually go for people? Is it without introducing bugs? I've always been pretty weary of using Titanium Backup or any other way to restore apps when I flash a new ROM. Usually I just download them again from the Google Play store, but that's a pretty big pain.
[HTC Inspire 4G] inspire4gfreak:
I always restore them with titanium backup and I didn't have any problems with that ever. You just shouldn't restore system data, but apps are ok to restore.
[HTC Inspire 4G] ST3ALTHPSYCH0:
Alright, finally got a chance to flash AR28 this morning. I'm still in the setup process, but after restoring my apps+data and my playlists, contacts, and data usage (that didn't restore properly, thanks for the zdbox recommend!), I'm seeing smooth scrolling in both app drawer and home screens. Method was wipe/ factory reset (3x) + Dalvik wipe. Flashed inspiremod and agps fix during the same recovery session. Will update if I see anything new.

The only time I've had any issue was when I tried to restore my music playlists from GB on ICS. YMMV. Also, TiBU free will allow you to reinstall all apps + data as a batch operation, but you have to approve every install (like you do from the market). The pay version allows a batch restore with no further approval. One new flash will convince you to get the pay version if you have very many apps. Also, it's good for more than just reflashes. Two cases in point. 1) I had a game that I had spent considerable time on. An update needed to uninstall the old version. I was able to restore my data to the new version and not lose progress. 2) I hate that FB took the stream filters out (All, status updates, photos, etc). I was able to restore to an old version that still had it (and as a plus, syncs contacts with ICS)
[HTC Inspire 4G] Bzow:
Good to know. Thank you. So I can restore apps to ICS even if I made a backup on a GB ROM?
[HTC Inspire 4G] kimtyson:
I loaded AR28 as a fresh install, after full wipe\format. There are no issues at all so far. No lag with stock or Apex launchers. Please don't be afraid of the newest version. I've tried all (I think) of the ICS ROMs and Existz is the best! I keep coming back to it.
[HTC Inspire 4G] inspire4gfreak:
Absolutely. Apps and their data will work with no problems on ics. Just dont restore system data (that 2nd option in restore section)
[HTC Inspire 4G] ST3ALTHPSYCH0:
Something to keep in mind (I just realized that this bit me, like 45 seconds ago) If you have something that runs in the background, launch it after restoring. I haven't had my sms/mms backed up since 17mar b/c I forgot to launch sms backup+ after the last restore :( This goes for security apps (AVG, Lookout, Avast), monitoring (zdbox), etc
[HTC Inspire 4G] :
Apex just released an update to the launcher. Changelog includes merging changes from 4.0.4

Also, for me, battery drains a little faster than AR26. But that could be my imagination.
[HTC Inspire 4G] :
Also here is a screenshot of my "About phone " section, and either its a bug or I have made an unofficial update to my phone.
[HTC Inspire 4G] itechscs:
AR28 dirty install over AR27 (AR27 was a clean install) is working great.
[HTC Inspire 4G] darkoon@yahoo.com:
same here, no issue so far.
[HTC Inspire 4G] inspire4gfreak:
I clean installed AR28 and no other issues than posted before today, except a few random freezes, but that comes with the territory :)
[HTC Inspire 4G] vigorito:
can someone explain me how to flash 28 over 27? i did a clean install of 27,just choose from sd card and after that inspire mode and reboot or?
[HTC Inspire 4G] Matt James:
Sorry but I'm sticking with 26 for right now. I'm a smoothness nut and the choppiness of the home screens was just getting to much for me. Also it seemed like when I hit the power button to take the phone out of sleep and bring it to the lock screen it also would lag and chop there too. Sorry, I'm not trying to be a ****. Just pointing out what I'm noticing. I'll hold out for 29.
[HTC Inspire 4G] justFaisal:
Just install ar28 through recovery (don't wipe/format)...
[HTC Inspire 4G] vigorito:
thanks and inspire mode too?
[HTC Inspire 4G] Bzow:
To update, rather than do a clean install, do the following:

1. Boot into recovery

2. Wipe cache

3. Wipe dalvik cache

4. Flash the ROM zip

5. If you're on an Inspire 4G, flash inspiremod

6. Reboot
[HTC Inspire 4G] existz:
Can you or someone who notices this real bad try taking the boot.img from 26, replacing it in 28 zip and flash? Then let me know if its still there..?? This would eliminate a lot of things in one shot
[HTC Inspire 4G] sportscrazed2:
Works great so far
[HTC Inspire 4G] famewolf:
You can use something like es file explorer to just backup the apk's and you'll be fine...mybackup pro and titanium also both work if you backup only apk....on some if you restore data they will fc right away and you are forced to uninstall and then reinstall to fix it because clearing data is apparently not enough.
[HTC Inspire 4G] oscarwu:
Full-wiped installation from AR27 to AR28 on Inspire.

Using NOVA launcher, everything is great so far.

Thank you a lot, existz.
[HTC Inspire 4G] :
May have to revert back to AR26. Have had some freezes and random reboots in AR28. Other than that the ROM feels great.
