Hey Maz, just wanted to say great job on B5 dude. It absolutely flies!! And I'm getting amazing battery life too!! Great job man. Keep up the great work!
[EVO 4G Android Development] jboyer0000:
I'm using the FSO+SBC kernel and its running without a hitch
[EVO 4G Android Development] ps3ia:
So is this rom as fast as stable sense roms?
[EVO 4G Android Development] zelendel:
Try it and find out. No one will be able to tell you how it will be on your device with your setup.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mazwoz:
Agreed. The problem with the question is a matter of personal experience and specific setup. You see people saying that it is faster than other ICS ROMS. In my experience Sense is slower that AOSP because of the added graphics and utilized RAM. I also know people who swear by Sense based ROMs. It it up to you to decide which is best for you. If you want to try out an ICS ROM, go for it. Decide for yourself which is better/faster. Also for the best speed, for me, MIUI is awesome. This is the fastest ICS build I have made, and some people have used. Give it a try, you might like it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ps3ia:
So this rom will work with the a2sd apps already installed?
[EVO 4G Android Development] ropodope:
yes

Mmmmmm.

First time flashing this ROM.

Readed/Followed the OP (Mazwoz) post to the letter and now I'm rocking this ROM on my Evo. Don't even had to flash the Camera Fix cause the Camera is working fine on the B5. :D

I had to use adb to flash the AdHoc WiFi cause I don't have a router here on my house (my laptop is the router).

People, stop asking stoopid questions. Follow the OP instructions and you'll be fine.

Great ROM Maz, excellent job.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Mazda:
DOMINICANO!!! That's whats up!! From Santo Domingo too...hahahaha

BUT yeah, you're right...if you follow the instructions on ANY op then you'll be good!

You got a great ROM here bro!! Mazwoz KNOWS what he's doing with this ROM and is sure not to disappoint!!

[EVO 4G Android Development] gmassucco:
Do ROM's ever include the kernal, or is it always a manual install?
[EVO 4G Android Development] youngchris29:
There's always a kernel included with the rom. U only have to flash a kernel if you want to try out a new one.
[EVO 4G Android Development] gmassucco:
Thanks. I figured, but I wasn't sure. :D

Sounds like this ROM is coming along great. Pity i gave up on ICS for the EVO, need my phone for Business so i cant take any chances.

Great job Moz, keep up the great work!

Also, thanks for your service, stay safe!!

Mahootzki u should nandroid and try this rom out.

Is this really that stable??

Sent from a Galaxy far far away...
[EVO 4G Android Development] thebbbrain:
If you don't need the stuff in the OP for work, then yes, it's that stable. I loved it when I was running it a couple weeks ago.
[EVO 4G Android Development] gmassucco:
Just flashed B5 and Mason kernal, and not a single random reboot yet which is unheard of on my evo. Every time if have flashed a ROM in the past, I always go through a couple boots before everything is working fairly stable. Using titanium right now to restore everything, but another awesome release by Maz. I am gald you didn't release early, just to get it out when you origionally thought. The wait was worth it. I need a stable ROM, and this puts other ROMs to shame in that sense. Thanks again MAZ. :D
[EVO 4G Android Development] Chaddy0122:
What Mason kernel did you use? I flashed just the SBC one and I think my phone has been a little slower with no improvment in battery from what I can tell. Since I flashed beta 5 last night, my phone is roaming a lot more and every time I reset my phone, when it first comes on I always get a message saying Apex stopped working. I click ok and it comes right back on, but these are problems I never had with 4.0 or 4.7. I'm sure the roaming is probably hurting my battery performance too. I just wonder if this Mason kernel is messing with my phone or performance??
[EVO 4G Android Development] gmassucco:
The same kernal, 1.4SBC. I am not having any problems with roaming, but my APEX does say the same thing every time I reboot and then it works fine. I am not seeing much speed improvement, but everything seems much more stable. I haven't been using it long enough to know about the battery life, but it seems to be holding a pretty strong charge even with me playing with it constantly and downloading stuff. Totally honest, so far, this is the most stable release yet. I have not had one forclose on anything with the exception of the APEX error whenever I reboot. Awesome job MAZ.

Red border flashes for Chrome

Anyone seeing a red border flash by as soon as Chrome opens? Doesnt really interfere but seems to bother everyone I show off how fast the browser is :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] NUGZZ420:
make sure to get a full charge and drain .. give the kernel a day or two to settle in .. im getting really good batt life running maz and sbc mason and was on decks with the set up...
[EVO 4G Android Development] Chaddy0122:
OK will do. I will let it go a few days and see how it goes. I might even try some different radio updates.
[EVO 4G Android Development] dcharleyultra:
Yup.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mazwoz:
Hey guys, sorry I haven't been replying. I have been in the travel phase of my deployment. I will be out for a couple days before I can get back on. Good luck and I will try to get back to you guys as soon as possible. If it is important drop me a PM and that way I cannot miss it in the threads.

Again I am glad everyone likes my work.

I also wanted to say thanks to everyone that has been donating. Every little bit helps and keeps me motivated to do a good job. Again thanks.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mahootzki:
OK, so I flashed tis last night and was very impressed with it. I Smurfed the phone too and saw I am having issues with it so I unsmurfed.

This morning I'm stuck in a boot loop, any ideas?

Looks like a ROM I would wanna stick with for awhile, but don't want any issues as I use my phone for business.

In process of reflashing now
[EVO 4G Android Development] te45a:
used B5 since it dropped as my daily, and i am yet to have a reboot, most stable ICS for me and I used AOKP, deck, evervolv, gummy... :D

Yes I admit I am flashoholic!
[EVO 4G Android Development] mazwoz:
The build has smurf settings built in. I'm not sure why it broke when you un-smurfed. Hopefully you don't have any more issues

Sent from my evo running MazWoz-EVO
[EVO 4G Android Development] mahootzki:
OK, so far so good after reflashing.

Only issue is with the camera, every time I use it, it borks the complete phone and i have to reset.

Sent from a Galaxy far far away...
[EVO 4G Android Development] mazwoz:
What are you talking about? I'm a dev for my own ROM and still flash everyone else's. I'm a flashoholic, I can't go a couple days without flashing. Yay for boot manager.
[EVO 4G Android Development] gmassucco:
As I have previously posted, I have tried all of those ROMs and B5 is by far the most stable. I still have yet to force close on anything with the only exception being when I first boot up, APEX gives me an error, but then it works perfectly. That only started happening after I flashed the Mason kernal. Maz could almost call this non beta once he irons out the few quirks it has. I don't know if it's the Mason SBC kernal, or Maz's beta, but the battery life is killer. I charged it yesterday morning, flashed B5, downloaded titanium, restored all my apps, downloaded a few updates, made a 20 minute call on my BT headset, played about 30 minutes of music on speakerphone, and have been playing with the settings and downloading new wallpaper for over an hour and I still have about 1/4 my battery without ever plugging it in. Any other ROM, my Sh_t would have been dead 15 hours ago. I have a standard battery. :eek:

Icons breaking up // display issues

When I scroll through my homescreens or close any open apps and return to the homescreen, I see that the icons are breaking up ( see attached screenshot ). I didn't see anyone talk about this in this thread ( unless I missed it ). Is this happening to anyone else? Is there a patch or a fix I don't know about?
[EVO 4G Android Development] bootny:
Had the same issue.. all betas but 5 worked flawlessly...now im on decks pb10
[EVO 4G Android Development] neno2323:
You smurfed out bro?
[EVO 4G Android Development] mahootzki:
I unsmurfed and reflashed. So far so good but, camera use borks the whole phone, just realized Cam Scanner doesn't work either maybe it has to do with the camera being part of it.

I also had issues with Apex launcher so I am using Nova for now with no issues whatsoever.

So far this ROM rocks!! If I figure out the camera issue it can be a daily for me.

Thanks in advance

Scroll all the way down to the bottom until you see debug=true.. you want to change that to debug=false.. then hit menu save& exit reboot...

Scratch that, I realized that if I leave the camera on for too long it freezes and starts to freak out. When I use instagram I can get to the android camera to take a picture, I crop it to whatever instagram wants, but everything crashes when it tries to save the image. Its very weird.

[EVO 4G Android Development] btaylor545:
This rom runs pretty smoothly from what i played with it but until YouTube and Netflix are up and running it can't be a daily driver for me. Netflix has no video and YouTube skips a lot. On the positive side though really smooth compared to other ICS roms and the look and feel is great as well except the screens on the end can get buggy especially with live wallpapers running. Looking forward to future releases though! Keep up the good work!
[EVO 4G Android Development] wacowell:
I agree when those two issues..YouTube and Netflix work then I will use. Still nice. Not criticizing. If I could fix it I would but I don't know how. Audio works but skips like every second or two.

Can you guys stop whining about the copying, obviously noone has a problem with it, even jared commented on this thread and never said anything about him having a problem with it, if he doesnt like it then he can just tell the OP to remove it or one of the admins, if you dont like it either then dont download or comment, dont overcomplicate your life...
[EVO 4G Android Development] mazwoz:
I will work on this. I had some similar issues when working with the Nook and my Toshiba Thrive. I'll check it out tonight. Thanks.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mazwoz:
Thanks josh. For everyone who hasn't paid attention this thread was actually locked for a while. It was locked because I was basing my work off of JTGs ROM, which was based off of evervolv. The problem was, the evervolv team revoked jared's permission to use the ROM. I have sense received permission from preludedrew. This means I have every right to use a "base" ROM. If you don't like what I'm doing or how I'm doing it, that is fine. No need to come on my thread and criticize. If you found a bug, issue, or have ideas, please let me know.
[EVO 4G Android Development] taadow1030:
Congrats. Much success to you in your endeavors to improve the ROM even more.
[EVO 4G Android Development] lambofgod13:
Wow, xda is hostile lately. Anyway why do ics roms have a nova launcher? Doesnt the google official release have a google ics launcher? Sorry if it sounds stupid, but i dont understand why you would have to use 3rd party launchers.

Any issues with accessing the storage card on this one? Every ICS ROM I have used so far has given me issues with accessing files on the memory card. Most typically an empty gallery and none of my store music appearing in the music player.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mazwoz:
There are some speed issues. I changed the read_ahead_kb to 128. Most, from what I have seen, are set to 1024. The Evo doesn't have that high of a cache to read a full MB ahead. When I dropped it down to 128, which is supposed to be optimal for the Evo. I noticed a performance gain. Let me know if you experience anything different.
[EVO 4G Android Development] srachamallu:
good work sir, and the way you handled the initial protest is exceptional very very matured way of handling things, I know people getting frustrated because of so many fake roms, its no body fault.

Anyway all the best, I had one question for you sir, does gallery works and is it possible to know before hand what all got customized in your rom.

Once again congrats on your first rom, all the best.
[EVO 4G Android Development] kermit22:
I'm curious about the gallery also. Can anyone comment as to whether or not the gallery is working well?
[EVO 4G Android Development] commonplace:
Okay, just flashed this ROM for the first time. Followed all the steps. ROM was fine until the verrrry last step when I rebooted into recovery (after fixing permissions in ROM Manager) and flashed the camera (camera_02092012-signed.zip). I tried it twice, and both times, flashing the camera zip file ruined it. After I flash the camera zip, I don't get past the white htc EVO 4G bootup screen. Have to do a battery pull and then go into recovery and start over.

Am I using the wrong camera zip? Or did I choose the wrong kernel and the camera zip isn't compatible with it? (I chose Mason-v0.14-ics-hwa-supersonic-signed.zip, which is the Mason I series non-sbc. Did I choose incorrectly??)

Going to start over a third time and try flashing the older camera zip. If it locks up again, I'll start over a fourth time and use a different kernel and the latest camera zip. If that doesn't do it, I quit. :) But if anyone can help in the meantime, that'd be great -- save me some time!

Just read mazwoz's post that he posted while I was typing my comment. ha

So if I'm using the latest ROM (b5), I do NOT need to flash the camera file?? I was just following the steps; didn't actually read the entire thread. Whoops!

Okay, going to re-flash and skip the camera part!

[EVO 4G Android Development] lc3necro:
Well, after reading a good chunk of the post B5 posts, and loving what I read, I decided to give the ROM a shot, and I must say, I do love it! I ran a few ICS's previously, but always ended up back on GB, so far I don't see that happening. Great job! Two things I miss from my previous, and I was wondering if someone might point me in the direction of a theme / flash option...when you use a PIN for your lockscreen you lose the option to launch apps directly upon unlock, I really enjoyed that option. The other is the dialer, I am looking to replace the stock one with one that will auto-complete numbers. Example, if I am dialing, say "Work" I can hit 9675 (w o r k) and have it bring up the corresponding number. Other than those two things I miss I am loving the snappy attitude and overall performance of this ROM! Cheers!
[EVO 4G Android Development] te45a:
somebody please correct me if I'm wrong but I though if you get a T9 dialer than u can't have mute option in calls and other way around
[EVO 4G Android Development] mazwoz:
That is correct, no reason to flash that old fix. Going to change the instructions so that people aren't doing that. Please let me know if you have any issues. Again I am out of the country so I will try to get back to people ASAP, but it could be a while.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mazwoz:
I will look into those two requests. Hopefully I can facilitate something. I'm glad you like the ROM overall. It is a direct result of a lot of people coming together to work on it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mazwoz:
I have been working on the issues with the camera. When we moved to HWA it bored the old fixes, I hope to have it resolved soon, but since I am out of the country there is no telling when I can get to it.

I have mine at 2 gigs. No real reason for it. Just what I set it at. It's really up to you. It depends on what you use the partition for and how mych data you would need on it.

anyone jump ship to decks newer versions?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Dmaxx67:
No he has putting builds out pretty quick but it just didn't feel as stable.
[EVO 4G Android Development] etnpnys:
+1

Exactly what I felt. I tried several of his PreBetas and liked a few things, especially the brightness control on the notification slider thingy. I came here FROM deck, but to be honest I'll probably stick with whichever gets the FFC working first (and best).

This one feels great though; Camera is a little wonky still, but I like it so much I have installed all my daily driver stuff - I'll be hanging around for a while!
[EVO 4G Android Development] mazwoz:
Mine is at 2 GB as well. I don't use the swap, so it leaves about 12 after formatting for the data. Works well
[EVO 4G Android Development] mazwoz:
lol, I just saw this post. Must have skipped over it a few times in the last few hours.

emd2009, if you don't like this ROM it's fine. Please don't ask others if they are jumping ship to someone else's ROM on my thread. If you have issues, please address them accordingly. If you need assistance let me know. If you would like changes, please talk to me. If you are not going to contribute, please kindly leave. I apologize if this seems harsh, but you just asked a very rude question with little to no reason at all. If you have a reason for asking, please let me know. Also, in the future, any bashings should be done through PM not the public thread.

Thank you and have a nice day.
