[EVO 4G Android Development] gmassucco:
For a while I was switching back and forth between this ROM and some Sense ROMS, because I missed 4g, but being the flashoholic I am, I tried flashing a new 4g radio, and the superwipe I used, formatted my 4g partition..... :( Since I have no chance of getting 4g back anyway, I'm sticking with this ROM. Its the only ISC ROM I have tried, that is consistantly super stable. I have been running B5 since it came out and only had 1 FC after using my camera. The camera worked fine, but after taking a picture, the ROM became a little unstable and I got the FC, but once I restarted, no FC's for the last week. On a side note, the Mason v.14 SBC kernel is what i am using, and it works awesome with this ROM. Great job MAZ. Also, I noticed that when I flash using RA 2.3 instead of CWM, the ROM seems more stable. I don't know if that is the same for everyone, but RA Recovery seems to work better for me.

P.S I hardly ever use my camera, so I don't have the camera issues everyone talks about.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mazwoz:
As a developer that actually makes me really happy. I love hearing that people prefer my ROM over others. Keep flashing others though, if someone has features you want let me know. I hope to keep improving it and making it better. Sorry about your wimax partition, that is not fun. There might be a fix for it though. Have you looked around and asked in the Q&A?
[EVO 4G Android Development] aheeejd:
I flashed B-5 yesterday & am really liking it. It's very stable, used the camera a couple a times & all okay. I do think I'm having some 3g issues, just don't seem to get what I got with decks. But anyway, I've read through the thread from pg 85 on & just wanted to say nice job maz & also I respect & appreciate your services overseas. Thank you sir. Good work on rom.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mazwoz:
It is possible that we will be able to get it to work. It requires framework, drivers and kernel development that is at this time above my skill level.
[EVO 4G Android Development] gmassucco:
There is only one fix I know of and it is a little above my skill level. Can't remember the exact fix, but it was something like using a nandroid backup from another evo 4g that nobody is using to restore the wimax key. Since you can't have a duplicate key on the same network, it would require someone elses key or the key from an old phone. It is more involved then that, but that is the just of it. Thanks, I will probably just upgrade to the new Evo when I qualify for an upgrade. For now, Im gonna rock this ROM like I'd rock a virgin on prom night. I know, I know, bad pun but it works...
[EVO 4G Android Development] misfitdeluxe:
Same for me when flashing with Amon RA vs ClockworkMod. When I flashed with CWM, a lot of things weren't working as they should. Flashed again with Amon RA and everything ran smooth as butter! No other ROM I have used has ever been as stable as MazWoz' B5. All other ROMs frequently gave me random reboots and FC problems.

Personally, I think that my 3G has improved significantly compared to the 3G I was getting on any other ROM - including the stock one!
[EVO 4G Android Development] mazwoz:
Thanks buddy. This is simply because while others are working on the look and feel, I'm working on stabilization.
[EVO 4G Android Development] te45a:
that's what I like about your work, I always been function over form kind of person and this ROM goes with that perfectly, others are adding all these new features but than I get a FC left and right! What's the point? Get it stable first and than think about bells and whistles .... just MHO

[EVO 4G Android Development] dexx40steve:
great job

I have to say I tried this out and didn't go back to my CM nightly 256. I don't recall any unusual or annoying force closes and the ROM runs smooth enough for me that I'm comfortable keeping this as my primary until an Alpha comes out. Sprint is abandoning wimax and it never existed in my area anyhow (Atlantic City). All I care about now is a stable camera and I'm happy.

For the record I use the GO home, widget and SMS apps and they seem stable and smooth. Skype doesn't seem to work right but that may be tied with the camera issues.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mazwoz:
I'm glad to hear that the ROM is working so well for you. Since I started deving I have not gone back to CM. The CM series was great for GB, but with the EVO they have had too many issues with ICS. Issues that have been fixed by me or other devs, but they are focused on making it too much like CM7. I am working on the camera issues. Hopefully we can figure them out.
[EVO 4G Android Development] X_N_:
I know Deck's PB22 Camera is working perfectly.. Idk maybe you could take a look over there and figure out. I do have this one camera.so fix that worked on AOKP.. Idk if it will work here but I'll post it here.

[EVO 4G Android Development] mazwoz:
I used that "fix" and it didn't seem to change anything. Deck's setup is a lot different than mine. I'll be working on it over the next few weeks. Thanks for the info though. I need to get with a couple of the other devs and see what they are doing.
[EVO 4G Android Development] X_N_:
Ok... Well I got Good News sorta.. I have MIUI camera version 17 and the camera works.. why idk lol but it works. I will post apk & You can try it.. I would link to original link of where I got it at but I forgot where I Found it. But I will update if I find original post.

Hey Maz let me know if you need me to test something for you, I just got "spare" EVO
[EVO 4G Android Development] Dmaxx67:
Maxwoz do you use github? Was wondering if you got something like that going and then we could build on our own time and test stuff out for you.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mazwoz:
I unfortunately do not. I should start one, but the internet here is weak. It would probably take three to four days to upload. Sorry man.
[EVO 4G Android Development] gmassucco:
Hey Maz, are you planning on using Aroma installer on your next release? I have used it on a few GB ROM's and it makes the flash process so customizable.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mazwoz:
I hadn't considered it, but I'm going to look into it. I know a lot of people are going that way. I'll keep you guys posted.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Dmaxx67:

Love the rom, very fast. Only problem is Panarama mode crashes the camera app and Apex like to close and relaunch constantly. I haven't worked on it long, but so far its great! Keep it up!
[EVO 4G Android Development] mazwoz:
Thanks man. I know about the camera issues. I am working on them. Hopefully soon I can either push out a new apk or zip to fix. I might wait until Beta 6 is ready though.

Amon ra recovery is probably your best bet. I have had 0 problems with it over the last year and a half.

I have been looking into the T9 dialer a bit. I will see about integration. Hanging up from the pull down might be a little harder to impliment, but I will look at it.

Sweet, I will look at integrating the new driver into my beta 6 build.

You know the drill about setting permissions to rw-r-r, right? And I'd either nand backup first, or at least have Mazs rom on SD ready to reflash in case there is some issue.

sent from 2yr old Evo on ICS
[EVO 4G Android Development] te45a:
I know I'm supposed to delete one from /system/app and replace it with the one u posted, what do I use to set permission?
[EVO 4G Android Development] youngchris29:
Use a root explorer and once you place it in system/app just long press and go to properties. You can change it from there
[EVO 4G Android Development] scottspa74:
Permissions for all apps in /system will be rw-r-r. You gotta be a bit quick though. Android doesn't like having a non functional phone apk while booted. Will throw constant error and be unusable.

I would advise long pressing and viewing permissions on a more benign system app like Google+ or talk to see what perms should look like if you're unsure, so you can do it quickly.

Edit: instead of deleting original, I would:

Longpress new phone apk on sd

Select copy

Navigate to /system

Mount RW

Longpress existing phone apk

Select rename

Rename to phone.apk.bak

Select paste

Longpress new phone apk

Set permissions

[EVO 4G Android Development] te45a:
I'm not sure what I did wrong but still no T9, everything went with no errors, and in my /system/app i can see new phone.apk and old one phone.apk.bak so I know its using new one and permissions are the same so I guess I'll wait until master bakes it into B6 :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] Captain 0bvious:
Even though this ROM hasn't been updated in a while, it is still the most responsive, and stable ICS ROM I have used. You really did a great job on this one MAZ. I can't wait for B6, but I realize you have more important things going on right now being deployed and all. Thanks again for your service.
[EVO 4G Android Development] scottspa74:
I'm an idiot. I was at work and wasn't focusing, I guess. Its the contacts apk you need. I totally forgot, it's tied to that, not phone apk. I feel retarded. Gimme a minute to up the contacts apk for you.

sent from 2yr old Evo on ICS
[EVO 4G Android Development] scottspa74:
Here ya go

http://db.tt/WCIsQB76

It is contacts and contacts provider apks zipped together. Extract them from zip. I believe you only need the contacts apk, but I added in the contacts provider apk just in case. Do the same with contacts as you did with phone apk.

This will work. :D

Edit: hope maz is OK, haven't heard from him in a bit. :confused:

sent from 2yr old Evo on ICS
[EVO 4G Android Development] te45a:
did this and confirmed works :) :beer

now can we do the same thing with the camera? meaning if there is Rom that has working camera (i think deck has one) could we do this? and is it only Camera.apk or something else also?

I do hope Maz is Ok with me trying to do this here and if not please let me know.
[EVO 4G Android Development] scottspa74:
You could do the same with camera. But I imagine his camera apk is fine. Probably just need to move the qsd file to /system/lib/hw as in other ICS builds. Just a guess though, as I don't know the state of Mazs cam. But I imagine it's the same.

Tomezfi has posted the fix file in most ICS threads. You still gotta get your pic quick and get out of camera, or launcher becomes unstable. Is that how Mazs cam already is?

sent from 2yr old Evo on ICS
[EVO 4G Android Development] scottspa74:
Here

Extract file from zip and move to /system/lib/hw

I take no credit for any of these fixes. It's just stuff I picked up and had on SD card. Actually, the cam fix was tomezfi (I'm sure I spelled that wrong). Look for posts by him and thank him. Make sure permissions are set for qsd8k file, also ;)

You can absolutely post apk files for users. I would not want to stand in the way of progress. I'm glad you guys got this working. I will be taking a look at the T9 stuff and will bake it in.

I haven't tried the camera fix yet, but if someone could and let me know how it works I would appreciate it.

[EVO 4G Android Development] te45a:
I did this but I still had to take a pic and get out as fast as possible or it would require reboot, I ran into this in another thread, posted by dcdave63 here from xda, and ofcourse original poster from twitter @MongooseHelix so all the credit goes to him, its a flashable file and it work for me, tried just opening a pic and waiting for about a minute and no issues, taking a pic and waiting no issues, going in and out of camera app no issues, so at this point I think camera is fixed :D here is the link to file http://db.tt/JqAyygqm
