Please don't call these people devs. Taking a zip of files and making some changes is not developing. Developing is writing code and compiling source. I'm not sure what to call this...tweaking?

I'm not sure why people bother with these sorts of ROMs at all. Just find the original source, flash that, and tweak whatever apps or themes you want from there yourself. If someone IS going to go ahead and post tweaked ROMs like this, at lease state clearly what your base is in the OP. A little "thanks to blah blah" at the bottom of the OP doesn't really cut it - something like, "THIS IS A MODIFIED VERSION OF SO AND SO'S ROM" at the top would be more appropriate. And really, JTG's beta 3.5 is not a base at all, it's just a tweak of Evervolv or whatever itself as was proven a couple days ago and caused the destruction of that thread. After witnessing all that I feel XDA should really start putting greater restrictions on the development board - requiring CLEAR credit to original authors/ROMs, possibly requiring links to source, etc.

Edit - Not bashing your efforts at all, OP, if you think you can make some improvements and offer it to the community. But we need greater requirements on giving credit to original authors and source, and a better understanding of who is actually developing builds and who is just making tweaks.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Mazda:
hey OP, who's Justinthegreat?? Do you mean Jaredthegreat....hahaha...Although I didn't agree completely with xdp, he did make some good points! If you're going to post a rom based on someone else's work then you should make the effort to post proper credits and explain to people what they're getting themselves into!

Alright, I'm gonna get off here and head to bed so I can watch the superbowl tomorrow!!
[EVO 4G Android Development] Diablo67:
Come on guy,i'm just waking up and trying to clear my eyes,but i'm to buisy laughing,lol,I agree 100%,give the devs the correct credits they deserve.That being said,what a freakin lynching,huh,lol.You guys are crazy,nice rom by the way,runs good.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mazwoz:
You guys are funny. You want to tear down someone who is attempting to get started with custom ROMs. XDP have you ever built a truly custom ROM? You want the original "DEV"? Here it is... GOOGLE IS THE ORIGINAL DEV. Problem solved. Moving on.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mazwoz:
I'm not going to trace the lineage of a ROM back 4-5 devs. If the user wants to know, they can trace back using my credit to JTD, and his credit.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mazwoz:
Yes, jaredthegreat
[EVO 4G Android Development] DavidIQ:
At PPC Geeks they call them chefs (at least back when i was over there...) when they build ROMs. So I guess this could be called "ROM cooking"? :rolleyes:
[EVO 4G Android Development] xdp:
I have compiled and edited source, but I've never made any truly substantive changes, because it's not easy by any means, that's why so few people actually do that. I disagree with the notion that Google is the only true sole author. Google's source, as delivered to the community, is far from ready to work on our phones. People had to do a lot of work and write a lot of code to get that working for us. Any modifications to their work deserves credit back to them. I do agree with you that it can get a little ridiculous once you're 4-5 ROMs down the chain. Crediting the most recent version you're modifying should be enough, provided you do this clearly at the top of the post, not a "thanks to.." which makes it sound like you collaborated with the person or something.

Ha, I guess that term works just fine.
[EVO 4G Android Development] joshb2118:
Well he used JTG, that was his modified version, by crediting another dev he would be discrediting JTG's build, like he said, if users wanted to get the root of the rom dev, they can just look for it themselves, geez, the whole thread would be a list of devs who did small things to it if that were the case...
[EVO 4G Android Development] mazwoz:
XDP,

I apologize. I shouldn't have suggested what I did. I will fix the post so that it reflects JTGs work.
[EVO 4G Android Development] joshb2118:
Um that kind of contradicts itself doesnt it? Google provides the source, in which devs mod to get it running on phones, wouldnt that still be considered the same as someone adding or modding an existing ROM? They are technically not creating anything from thin air, they are modding an existing source they have to work with, same for tweaks, they are working with the existing ROM in which they customize for their liking,...

I am having NAV problems... Sometimes when beginning navigation to an address it finds it fine and loads my location but then when I start moving it'll keep me in the same spot and eventually say "acquiring GPS signal... " but then it'll never find signal. I'll have to do at least a hot reboot to fix it but then it would eventually do it again.

Y

Also another weird phenomenon on Words with Friends.. When I click on a wildcard letter then select the letter from the alphabet it hangs and eventually says it is not responding but if I click "wait" it'll eventually catch up but not before doing this weird ghosting,split screen pixellating thing which I've seen from other apps too on and off.

FYI I haven't tried bluetooth yet but I'll try it on both my car's Sync and my Motorola S10 headphones that I use when running this week and will report my status! I've had issues with Sync not always connecting with other roms so I hope this one works okay! (never sure if it's the Sync or phone though... Thanks Microsoft!)
[EVO 4G Android Development] mazwoz:
I'll look into the GPS issues. The words with friends is probably an issue with the HWA which could potentially be fixed in the next release.

Dang...I couldn't even get my Sync to pair to the phone this morning...that stinks because I still really like this ROM but I gotta have the handsfree capability with Sync! It would find the Sync but when it prompted for the pairing code it would let me type it in but the box would disappear before I finish, though if I punched it in fast enough it would let me click "OK" but wouldn't do anything after that.

I'll try out my headphones later this evening to see if those will pair....
[EVO 4G Android Development] huntjp123:
bluetooth

I apologize if this already got some responses..

Mine paired up to a rental car ok, as well as my own. I have had 2-3 times where it wouldn't connect however. I'm not sure if the problem was on my car or the phone's end though. Anyhow a stop/start of BT seemed to work.
[EVO 4G Android Development] EvoSport:
man I couldn't get my headphones to connect either. It finds it just like with Sync but keeps saying the passcode is incorrect... Even though it never prompted me to enter one! Dang I guess I'll have to go back to a GB Rom... So sad to say goodbye! :-(
[EVO 4G Android Development] elloco0021:
So I have been running this rom continuously for weeks now and I absolutely love it..I didn't think it would work out as an everyday rom but I have managed. Some glitches to report have already been mentioned but its pretty much just the video camera, and random freezes..I don't know if it just gets bogged down with multiple apps running in the background but sometimes it will just freeze while opening an app or messing with Widgets..installed a task killer and cache cleaner and no freezes so far (8 hrs) :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] mazwoz:
Sorry to hear it EvoSport, I think there maybe some additional bluetooth drivers not installed via the Kernel. I'll look into it. Check back periodically to see if it is fixed.

Just a thought on GPS/NAV

I am only on here to see how ICS is going for my old EVO and usually I am in the Epic 4G Touch section. They have GPS problems also. What they did as a work around was flash a workable Gingerbread GPS Rom/Radio, turn on and get a GPS lock. Then Boot into recovery followed by a flash to ICS. There may be some more to this and if someone needs to they can search for the directions and try it. Like I said just trying to help. I plan on giving my EVO to my Mom when ICS is in a better state.

[EVO 4G Android Development] Firewalls:
Thanks for the prompt reply.

I reset it a couple of times and it booted ok.

It's the camera...

Taking a first photo seems ok, then taking a second causes video errors and then crashes the camera app and/or reboots phone.

Also the camera app panorama function seems to make photos with a strong green tint.

Interestingly, 3rd party camera apps (Camera Zoom Fx, Camera 360 and Photaf) all work great...
