Hello,

Well after several hours I was able to turn a brick back into a working Inc again. Total fluke what happened and had nothing to do with your rom, my apologies. Guess my laptop somehow zapped my USB and took out both the USB and SD card mounting which does give you nothing but a pile of crap and the 5 vibes of death. I guess it is a problem with this phone, good thing I have never experienced it before cause it is a pain to get up and running again. Best write-up to fix even though it is off topic is found at http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1110865 expect lots of cussing but it does work. Enough for today, I will give your rom a go in the morning since it deserves a true test drive and not my fluke experience. Again my apologies, nothing at all to do with your rom.

Cheers
[Droid Incredible Android Development] withbloodskies:
Agreed, I didn't even know there was more projects outside of XDA and Rootz till today.

So thank you Hanger, looking forward to newer updates.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] el6006:
This ROM is very fast and stable for me. No problems here. I am going to flash the latest version though cuz when I reboot I freak out and think my phone died since the Boot Animation doesn't work.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] pmsrefugee:
I did a full wipe per the op instructions but my apps from titanium restore (app only) and from the market fc. If I reboot that sometimes works. Will try to fix permissions and see if that helps. Any other suggestions?

That didn't work so I'm just going to try it again step by step following the op. You install gapps immediately after rom install too right? No boot to rom first before installing gapps.

Edit. Did steps exactly and it is running great now. Google is restoring my apps automatically too. Very nice rom. Thanks for putting this out.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] SynisterWolf:
Hanger has a rom. O.o time to step up my game. Great work my friend. Its running nice on my dev Inc.

Btw. Have a new build of beats up. Range dropped 1db but used Sony base compression. It sounds better with "cheap" headphones. Lol. But it still sounds nice with my kickers. Thanks again.

Sent from my sexy assistant. (AMOLED HTC Incredible)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Hanger84:
It's no problem, I've had it happen to me before. It sucks when it happens and its such a pain to fix, so I can definitely understand your frustration.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Hanger84:
I'm not sure about using Titanium backups, as I don;t use them myself. I use Appbrain and Fast Installer for my restore needs....works great when switching between various types of roms and different versions of android...and phones.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Hanger84:
Made a small incremental update this morning. Updated Apex and the build.prop. I also released a version of the rom with hardware acceleration. The HWA version is based on AOKP Build 25. It does drain your battery life a great deal more, and it's less stable than the version without HWA. I decided to add this version as an alternative for thos that want to use Google Chrome or other apps that require HWA.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] el6006:
Does the Beats audio have to be turned on or is already enabled when you play music through the stock music player? I tried enablind DSP on version 1 of this ROM and it made no change whatsoever on music playback through headphones using the stock music app.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Hanger84:
Beats doesn't have to be enabled, it's always on. Same with the Bravia Engine.

I'm working on the DSP Manager, as it's still somewhat buggy and doesn't always work. There may be an update to the Beats Audio soon, which I will add once it's available.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] demarcmj:
Thanks for your work on this ROM

Can you please explain what exactly the Bravia engine does? You touched on it briefly in the OP but I'm wondering if you perhaps have any more detail. I'm intrigued as I haven't seen it in any other ROMs before.

Also, I'm a Nova user. I'd like to remove Apex before flashing. Is it as simple as removing the apk from the zip, or does it require editing other files as well.

Also, if I may suggest a simpler "full wipe" for your OP:

Wipe data/factory reset

Mounts and storage > format /boot

Mounts and storage > format /system

This wipes everything that you indicated in yours, but in less steps. A lot of the stuff that you included is covered by the "Wipe data/factory reset" step.

Again, thanks for your hard work

how is this as a daily driver?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] sprintrjm:
re

I have had so many custom roms on my phone i cannot remember how many i have used along with many updates per rom.

But this is my favorite rom so far.

It is way better than cm7 and cm7.2 in my little opinion.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] eldeladi:
I wouldn't use this as a daily driver. I have had many phone conversations cut short because the rom decides to reload the OS and shows the bootup logo.

I am going back to a more stable rom.

Big thanks to Hanger84 for his great work
[Droid Incredible Android Development] sprintrjm:
re

I had problems when i first loaded this rom.

The second time i loaded i made sure to wipe and wipe, then the second time i had a perfect experience.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] OnceAMatrixMan:
I have been running 1.62 since the day it came out - a month more or less - and except some lockups when unplugging the device it has been great! Very smooth.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] demarcmj:
It really depends on the version

1.81/1.82 - Best on battery life, expect random reboots or freezes, especially upon plugging in/unplugging. Some of this can be alleviated with tweaking the CPU settings, but it's still an issue. Note: Pre-2.0 are non-HWA.

2.0a9 - Best all-around, as long as you're not too concerned about battery life.

2.0.1 - Many people, myself included, have had some problems with this one. The system will randomly and suddenly become cripplingly slow. This lasts maybe 5ish minutes, but to be honest I usually just restart so I don't know for sure. I usually advise 2.0a9 over this version.

So depending on whether you value stability or battery life, I'd say either 1.81/1.82, or 2.0a9 can be a daily driver. Personally, I'm anxiously awaiting the 1.83 update, which I expect to be my daily driver assuming those stability problems are at least 90% fixed.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] rick311:
thanks guys! this info is EXTREMELY helpful!!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] sid3091:
hmmm. Do you have setCPU installed? It used to really bog down my phone from time to time.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] BluesHawk:
The various versions of this ROM have been my daily for over a month. Currently I'm running v1.81 and it's very stable. Lockups are few and far between and battery life is very good (especially if you flash the undervolting script). The holo themed apps.zip doesn't work as smoothly on the non-HWA ROMs quite yet
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Ty07allstar:
Where are the links for the previous builds?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jlokos:
They may be available at the Android Passions website.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Ty07allstar:
I was able to find them but can't find 2.0a9, which was said to be the best daily driver. If anyone could point me in the right direction that would be great.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] BluesHawk:
This post on AndroidPassions has a link to 2.0a9
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jlokos:

[Droid Incredible Android Development] odshock:
Anyway to get the normal unlock icon? I looked through the settings but couldn't find it. If I missed it I'm sorry
[Droid Incredible Android Development] demarcmj:
Objection, your Honor. Asked and answered.

To summarize... you can get the "normal unlock icon" by playing with the framework-res apk, but it won't quite act properly. You can search the forum for some more information if you wish.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] odshock:
Ah we'll I'm not good with editing things lol, but ill look around for something. Thank you :)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] prchohan:
Mute doesn't work during call?

I just found that the mute doesn't work for me during the calls on 2.0a9. It could have been embarrassing but I was saved fortunately:) Maybe this is a known issue. Can someone share experiences/fixes/updates on this? Thanks.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] harshybar:
I am a NOOB

Okay so I placed the .so file in the sdcard root then went to terminal emulater and typed the following:

**

su

cp /sdcard/camera.qsd8k.so /system/lib/hw/camera.qsd8k.so

**

Its says cant find the file, the file already exist. What am I missing? :confused:
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jlokos:
Use root explorer, find the existing file: camera.qsd8k.so and rename it camera.qsd8k.bak. Then paste to that same location the new camera.qsd8k.so

Reboot and your done.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] harshybar:

How do u obtain beats audio ?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] odshock:
I was playing pokemon fine and dandy then it decided to give me a bootloop and now I'm sad cause I didn't save. And its being doing it for awhile :/
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Gorilla*:
How stable is this rom... I tried AOKP milestone, and that **** was awful.... I also tried another one, and it was trash...

Am i gonna regret flashing this rom?

Or should i sit tight on cm 7.1?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] :
If you want stability, stay on Gingerbread. I've been using Pons CM7.2 builds since december. Never had a problem. In fact, I had over 300 hours uptime, before I rebooted to do a backup this morning.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] demarcmj:
I've said it before, but here's my assessment:

2.0a9 is pretty stable, but battery life stinks

1.81 is not that stable, but battery life is pretty good

I'm holding out hope that 1.83 fixes the stability issues with the non-HWA versions, because I need the battery life to get through 18 holes of golf with GPS ;)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] harshybar:
Define Stable? I have no issues with 2.09a, get a good 6-7hrs of play time. It is my daily driver. I text all the time, youtube, camera some phone calls, PANDORA like 2 hrs a day...

That to me is hella stable.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] yelloguy:
I have been using 2.0a9 after your recommendation (and links) and I am very happy with the battery life. I get 2-3 days with moderate texting/email usage. I don't do much talking on the phone though.

Any chance its some app in your setup sucking up the battery juice on 2.0a9?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] XsceneXhippieX:
so i flashed this rom the only way ive ever flashed a rom on any phone (incredible noob here WARNING) i got into cwm (2.5.0.0 or something insanely old) and flashed this rom and the gapps for it and it boots and runs awesome! except for it repeatedly trying to activate itself on US Cellular.. i dont know where to turn from here but i am about to start flashing radios and/or try and go back to stock 2.2 then reflash trying to get my number back on the phone, reactivating on verizon's website just lets me know my number is already activated on my specific meid, please help me out if anyone knows a fix
[Droid Incredible Android Development] bukithd:
US cellular uses verizon towers I believe. I'm not sure why your phone would be doing that. Call verizon to see if they can wipe your phone's ESN
[Droid Incredible Android Development] XsceneXhippieX:
i knew that much, and ill try that, thank you for the response
[Droid Incredible Android Development] OnceAMatrixMan:
I don't know if it came with the ROM, but I have a "Japanese IME" in my available keyboards. Every so often it defaults to this keyboard without my doing. I have never heard anyone else mention this. And a Google search was no help. Anyone else have this keyboard? Any ideas how to delete it? Thanks.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] yelloguy:
Sound loudness and screen brightness

Does anyone else feel the music player's maximum loudness is not loud enough outdoors? And the screen's maximum brightness not bright enough outdoors?

I go for walks listening to audio books and both these things bother me quite a bit. I am wondering if I should try a stock ROM to see if it works any better in these departments.

Comments?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] demarcmj:
I don't think the volume is any better or worse in ICS than it is with a stock ROM.

Some things are just produced too quiet (like some of the podcasts I listen to). As a sortve workaround, you can use dsp manager and make a profile that just cranks up every frequency. I did the reverse and made one that cranks them all down for listening to stuff in bed at night (with headphones, the minimum volume is still kinda loud)

As for the brightness, that's 100% HW related. It shouldn't look any different than a stock ROM.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] daigia:
Stop by a local Verizon store, they will verify it for you.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] OnceAMatrixMan:
I found it and deleted it. It was not JapaneseIME.apk like I was expecting. I guess I was the only one with the issue, but it seems like Xperia users have a lot of issues with it. I'm surprised that it was not bundled with the ROM.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] omniatic:
Zram question.

Should zram be enabled through the Evervolv Toolbox, or with Terminal, or both? I'm on 2.0a9 and the new Incredikernel test 6. Toolbox doesn't create an init.d script, so I wasn't sure which way is best.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] demarcmj:
I do it through the Terminal and it seems to work fine. I always found it a little strange that Hanger left the toolbox in there, when most of it doesn't work.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] rstandi:
Any help appreciated. Haven't updated kernal. Is there one that might give slightly better battery life? What is everyone using? and with what results.

Thanks

rstandi
[Droid Incredible Android Development] omniatic:
Chad and Tiny posted two test versions of Incredikernel with HWA. I'm on test 6 and am getting excellent battery life and no issues. Test 6 and 7 are towards the end of the Incredikernel thread.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] user_error:
For the brightness, IDK - I am sure you can toy with settings. Mine has dust under the glass so that kind of screws me being able to see anything with any light on the screen.

But for the volume issue, get IncrediControl and I believe this rom already runs one of the IncrediKernels - open that and under General check the box for Audio Boost. It helps. It can also make your speaker crackle if your call volume is up 100% after a few months, so don't have it up at 100% by default (set-able under Sound in main settings menu). That is what I did. I switched back to 7.2 though recently because I lost my internal speaker for some reason and I thought it might have been the rom (it was not). It recently came back though out of the blue.

I am curious if there are better settings than default for the screen to squeeze more readability in bright light though.

I can't connect on the Verizon network for some reason but I've had no issues on wifi. I hope hanger comes back soon, the rom was getting to great places
[Droid Incredible Android Development] demarcmj:
Are you using a bookmark?

They updated some stuff recently and urls that were previously of the form:

http://androidpassions.com/forum/index.php/topic/...

are now

http://androidpassions.com/forum//topic/...

"index.php" has been removed, but note that there's still a double forward slash (SynisterWolf is in the process of fixing that part though)

If you're having some other problem, I can't help ya. The site seems to be working for me.

EDIT: The double forward slash part seems to be fixed now too...
[Droid Incredible Android Development] OnceAMatrixMan:
Ditto about Verizon network and wifi. odd...

Also ditto about Hanger! The last ROM I used as a daily was nearly done when the dev abandoned it when he got a new phone. I am hoping that history does not repeat.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Hanger84:
Working as much as I can on an update. No, I haven't abandoned this ROM or the Inc....I've just been extremely busy lately.

I finally got my Rezound, as Tiny mentioned....so now I can spend more time working on the ROM and testing it than previously.

Many folks wishes will be granted soon with the lock screen, as that's what I've been working on this morning. Here's an inverted teaser to hopefully satisfy folks =D

The color is inverted since white on white isn't very visible lol
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Hanger84:
Sorry for not having the 1.8 update out last night, I went almost 36 hours without sleep working it and other things here at home and crashed around 1pm yesterday and slept until sometime around 9am today.

I'll be working on the finishing touches today and I definitely will have it up this evening. I got a few things I need to do first before I can finish up on it, mainly the lock screen mod and removing Beats (I'll be adding it back eventually, or Dolby Audio enhancement)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] prchohan:
Thanks Hanger.....can you plz remove the blue Android on incoming call as well? I think you mentioned a while ago that you had that fix ready? Thanks much.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] orfius christ:
Thank you Hanger!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Cellulah:
Okay, who knocked this down a star. :mad: Someone's been going through these threads and rating them all one star; stupid trolls.

Keep up the great work Hanger, thanks for the update!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] demarcmj:
I think the fact that there are (as of this writing) only 8 votes should tell you that nobody really pays any attention to (or cares about) those star ratings.

That said, I just added a 5 star vote.

P.S. Hanger has apparently changed his name on AP to "Honey Badger." Hanger, you crazy.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] s22lane:
How do I change keyboards ? Sorry for dumb question. I want to use swype. :confused:

Sent from my Incredible using Xparent Blue Tapatalk 2
[Droid Incredible Android Development] demarcmj:
By default, Android 4.0 has a thingamabob that pops up in the notification bar any time the keyboard is open. You use this to change keyboards (like long pressing the text area in previous versions of Android). I believe this is disabled by default in Abduction, which is where your confusion comes from...

So, since it's not there, there are 3 ways to switch to swype...

Enable it (and select it) through the Swype installer. This is likely the easiest option, provided you still have the installer installed.

Through ROM Control, you can enable that control I mentioned above that shows up whenever the keyboard is active.

Just do it through settings... this is where that notifications bar control takes you anyway. I'm sorry I don't know the exact path to that settings page (I have very temporarily switched back to gingerbread) but it probably says something like language and keyboard... I'm sure you can find it.

Hopefully that helps. Sorry for the lack of detail in some spots, but I'm sure if you were competent enough to root and flash this ROM, you should be able to find the setting now that I've (hopefully) pointed you in the right direction.

Anyone know WTF is going on with Android Passions lately?

Most of yesterday, I go there and get nothing (even the base androidpassions.com gives errors)

Earlier today, the base website loads but pretty much all of the content is gone

Now, you can go to the Forums page but there are only 2 articles filed under site news and 2 threads for the Rezound... no other devices are even listed... and I still can't log in.

(Makes me wonder if Hanger finished his update but he just cant post because the site is in shambles)

Stang? Synister? What is going on over there?

EDIT: OK I just saw Stangs post:

Does this mean we'll have to re-create our user accounts? You said '"if you do decide to reregister" which would make me think yes, but you also said that "everything has to be rebuilt" which seems to make me think that you plan to port the information from the old database.

And to Hanger, what are your plans? I assume you will be "reregistering" with them?

EDIT AGAIN: OK, I recreated my account :)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] mmalkin:
I had to re-register. And can confirm no Dinc forum yet.

He had mentioned that his loyalties to AP were to all the devs that helped him with this project. I'm guessing he'll be where they are, if he's still interested.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] BluesHawk:
Give stang time to rebuild the forums. I re-registered and presume he'll be adding forums back today/tonight
[Droid Incredible Android Development] demarcmj:
Yea from the sounds of it they're working on it.

On the plus side, Hanger said he may have his own website up and running soon so he can post links there too.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] orfius christ:
Incredible thread back up!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Neo:
To all. Yes you will need to re-register at AndroidPassions.com We switched hosts and there was a problem with the new host accepting the backed up database. I have rebuilt about 80 threads today lol. The Incredible section was one of the first threads I recreated for obvious reasons ;) Thanks to everyone for your patience! I'm sure when Hanger gets a moment he will set his thread back up.

Tomorrow I will be adding Tablets to the forum (for any of you that have em)
