Don't you have to be S-Off to flash a rom?

...Sorry...I was on the phone...
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jschill31:
No, certainly not. Only if you want to have full control over the bootloader.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] dltccf:
GPS still not working.

running 1.81 and the GPS is still not working. It will get general location from the cell towers, but not from gps. I have to take a long 400 mile+ drive this weekend and now I may have to go back to gingerbread just for the navigation.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Hanger84:
We've been busting tail getting HWA and emmc working and we did it. I posted a 2.0 preview/test build on Android Passions for those that want to check it out.

[Droid Incredible Android Development] NYC Coyote:
Wholly crap.. nice work! So only things not working then are anything related to the camera! Frak... The 2 year old Incredible will be getting a fully working ICS before most phones that are supposedly getting it legit
[Droid Incredible Android Development] droidboy29:
I got a question is there any way that I can configure APN from Verizon to metroPCS so that people using flashed dincs can get mms working with ICS ROMS? Gingerbread and all previous android were easy using apn backup restore.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Cellulah:
Hold up, actual HWA and emmc are working?! You gotta be kidding me! That's insane.... Thank you for all your hard work, I'm surprised to see the build progress this fast!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] chrisloveskaos:
does the evervolv toolbox active?

does not seem to work.

everything seems snappy
[Droid Incredible Android Development] TokedUp:
Any chance of getting a non AP link? Either way thanks Hanger! Cant wait to try 2.0
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Hanger84:
I'm not sure. I don't mes with that kind of thing. I only use verizon, so thats the only service I support, sorry.

Most of the Evervolv toolbox won't work in this rom. I only included it for the kernel options.

No, sorry. As I've mentioned, 2.0+ will only be posted on Android Passions, as the 3 of us working on the ROM are all at AP.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Ruggerxpunk:
So 2.0 is amazing BUT it doesn't find any music off my SD card. It seems like 1.3 didn't find any, 1.5 DID, 1.8 did but now 2.0 doesn't. Anyone know how to fix this?

Edit

Apparently over night it found my music. I have no idea what affects this.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] rwideman:
Where is the flashlight? it worked in 2.2 but not in ICS that i find. I DL'd a 2.2 version and installed but not working.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] demarcmj:
I don't know what flashlight you're talking about, but I use TeslaLED and it's great. I've been using it pretty much as long as I've had my Incredible. It's the brightest flashlight of any I've used, has a toggle shortcut that works perfectly with the ICS lockscreen, and has a great homescreen widget that has an ICS theme.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] NYC Coyote:
You should try the HTC Flashlight... someone fixed it to work on almost any ROM and its in the Android Market.... I mean google play (god I hate that): https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.terrynow.flashlight
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Ruggerxpunk:
System settings> rom control > toggles > enabled toggles> torch> pull down your notification bar
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Tyuteo148:
WiFi Toggle yet?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Hanger84:
If you mean wifi tether, not in 1.81. Toggles are being worked on for 2.0. Right now the primary focus is Beats and Data. After that, wifi tether might be possible in the future, but the primary focus is getting the camera working, dsp, video, and getting the major bugs worked out. There's a lot still left to do, but it's getting done pretty fast.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] lolreconlol:
Search on here and find the cm7 Torch.. so bright.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Ruggerxpunk:
Now that I told everyone where to find the Torch, can someone (Hanger) tell me how to get rid of the hideous, blue, Lock screen Droid??
[Droid Incredible Android Development] demarcmj:
It's part of the ROM. You cant get rid of it.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] lolreconlol:
LOL! I hated it too.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Konshu:
Hanger, I honestly hope you reconsider duplicating your updates here, or at least recommend they turn off the mandatory registration. Many of the core developers of the code most roms run on do not require this, and is one of the many leading reasons I don't use AP at all.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] BluesHawk:
Running 2.0a9 right now and liking it so far. Had an issue while trying out Chrome where after exiting Chrome the persistent search bar would still show some of the image from the browser page I was just on. Not a big deal as re-launching apex fixed it. Good work Hanger
[Droid Incredible Android Development] demarcmj:
Pretty much every site on the internet these days requires a log-in. Just create an account and get over it.

(Although I do think he may be doing himself a disservice by not posting it here, since XDA is still the most popular Android development site. But then again, he may not really care much about exposure. Some people just do it for love of the "game")
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jlokos:
+1; it is not that big of deal; this has been a great rom development, and if that is what Hanger wants to do, we should fully support him.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] TheBr0ken:
I for one dont blame him at all. Be true to those that helped you along the way first, and that is not XDA. He is not doing his ROM a disservice as he's been very supportive along the way, hes growing AP members!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Tyuteo148:
Yes, that's what I meant. I wouldn't think getting a WiFi Tether toggle working would be hard or time consuming at all...I use it every day so I need it on my daily driver. I wouldn't mind the bugs here if it had that. Plus did you say a focus was a beats toggle? I'd trade wifi tether over beats toggle any day...as I'm sure a lot more would.

Anyways I'm not here to complain, just share my thoughts so pretty amazing work on this rom. It just keeps getting better and better. Keep up the great work and thank you for continuing ics development for our incredible.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Hanger84:
That's why I'm doing it. I have massive amounts of respect for Wildstang and many other devs at AP. Not only have they inspired me to work on my own ROM, but they've encouraged me to keep at when things didn't work and guided and taught me all along the way. It's not about numbers for me. I started out making this ROM as a personal project to make a ROM just for me and just the way I wanted it. I then decided after much praise from AP members, that I would release it to the public. If it were not for AP, this ROM simply would not exist, thus my loyalty lies there and always will. My next rom will be a different story.

I understand what you mean, but unfortunatly it's further down the list. More people would like the option to turn Beats off and use DSP thatn those that would rather a WiFi Tether toggle.

You can change it back to stock by opening the framework apk and replacing the image files for those 4 images of the lockscreen.

I may make an addon for that in the future, but right now getting a fully functional camera working in 2.0 is at the top of the list and my main focus right now.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] ardax:
Okay, I cracked and created an account at AP.

2.0a9 is really, really nice. (I can use Chrome! Whee! :) )

EMMC seems to be working too. Gallery and Music are finding stuff on it.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Div033:
Hanger, might you be able to explain the difference between HWA on the earlier variants (1.63 and below) and the new 2.0?

This is the aspect I am most interested in :)

Sent from my Droid Incredible using the XDA app.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Ruggerxpunk:
Is it the framework-res.apk?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] diegov600:
HI where I can get the 2.0a9?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Hanger84:
In earlier builds, the HWA wasn't complete and it was a bigger drain on the batter. It didn't completely work for all apps and games and it caused many issues. With 2.0+, the HWA is working the way its supposed to and works in apps that support it (especially Chrome). It also doesn't drain the batter nearly as bad and doesn't cause as many issues as it used. The downside now is that many of the libs have the be redone and some of the stock apps need the support added....thats why the camera is broken again.

Yes, the framework-res.apk

The only place you can get 2.0 is at AndroidPassions.com
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Div033:
That sounds fantastic! I can't wait for 2.0. Is everything smoother with proper HWA or is it more or less the same as it was in the hacky HWA builds? Maybe ill just flash the alpha later tonight and find out for myself :)

Sent from my Droid Incredible using the XDA app.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] ardax:
It's not the smoothest thing in the world, but the Adreno 200 GPU in the Inc (and Nexus One) is pretty lame. For example, the transitions in Chrome (e.g. bringing up the list of tabs, closing a tab) look choppy.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] SynisterWolf:
yes it is.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Div033:
Ah, so Google had a good reason not to support the Nexus One? It wasn't just the whole "buy a new phone" conspiracy?

Oh well. I'm most concerned about the launcher anyway. It seems on all the other builds there was pretty bad latency from touching the screen to switch to a different homescreen and when the software actually recognized the touch. Made it more difficult to swipe than it should have been. Ill just have to play with it myself :)

[Droid Incredible Android Development] Konshu:
Hanger: I totally respect your reasons for going to AP, I would do the same in your shoes. There may have been better clarification made for my reasoning. AOKP, XDA and Cyanogenmod have open access to their downloads. AP however has elected that in order for me to access your downloads, I must register and login. So maybe instead of requesting the option for you to voice my concern, I would be better off asking the simple question of why register?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Hanger84:
Well, you know the saying 'It only takes a few to ruin it for everyone"? Well such is the case here. Too often spammers come around and flood forums, or people start arguments and harass other people. It's easier to keep the bad ones out through registering. Also it helps to keep honest people honest and keeps out the people that like to hit and run and then try to pass something off as their own.

It's better to have people take a couple minutes to register, then spend hours each day dealing with issues caused by not having that.

Plus there's incentives to registering. You can't see it now, but before the site switched hosts, there was a contest and the winner won $20 and a collectible android figurine. Plus, there's an open chat room where members can chat with the devs, and we even have video chat, but we had to remove it because of problems with the provider of the service.

Having to register to download a ROM isn't to stop people from having access to it, it's to help the site to be a better place for everyone.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] demarcmj:
When I got to this point I was thinking "Oh, no. I don't like where this is going" but then you said "the provider of the service" and I breathed a sigh of relief. Lol
[Droid Incredible Android Development] WildZontar:
Would anyone recommend this as stable enough to be a daily driver?

I'm shopping around for an ICS rom and it's down to this one vs. AOKP.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] BluesHawk:
It's been my daily for about 2 weeks now. This uses a lot of the features of AOKP and some nice tweaks to it. Hanger is implementing AOKP M4 and works very hard on this ROM with frequent updates.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Div033:
Oh, I also wanted to ask: do the lockscreen shortcuts work on 2.0? I could not get them to work on previous versions. I would change the camera shortcut to SMS but it would not change. Once I rebooted the shortcut was completely gone, never to return!

Sent from my Droid Incredible using the XDA app.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] demarcmj:
I'm on 1.8 and they work fine. There was a problem in earlier versions, but I never remember having trouble with Camera or SMS or any of the other built-in options. It was only the real "shortcuts" that caused issues. So maybe your problem is different.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Konshu:
I currently use it for my daily so you should be fine.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] el6006:
Been using this ROM daily since it was introduced. Been through just about all the updates n now I'm on 2.0. Excellent ROM.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Ruggerxpunk:
I had two reboots in the last thirty mins. But that's over clocked to 1.13. Just a heads up
[Droid Incredible Android Development] tiny4579:
My phone won't run higher than 1.19ghz on my kernel. I tried a bit faster at max voltage and it instantly reboots. And I don't recommend 1.3 if you're looking for stability, especially on ICS at this point but I think ICS is way more stable than it used to be. Mine's been up for over 20 hours idle without any reboots at 1.13ghz overclock with stock Tiamat voltages (using the HWA v2.0 preview).

I just realized that's not saying too much as it only has been awake for about 5 minutes since I charged it, lol. Still it could reboot when idle. But I haven't had stability issues in the little I've used it since with testing incredikernel on the non-HWA and tiamat on the recent HWA v2.0 preview.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jlokos:
Tiny, I am using and have been using the 2/26 incredikernel at 1.13 on the non-HWA rom since the original version of the rom and it has run very smoothly. The only issues I had is when I tried to reduce the voltage too much.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] tiny4579:
Good to hear. I was just commenting on someone who reported reboots every 30 minutes yet was running at 1.3ghz.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] luvit:
Hi,

I formatted and cleared all partitions except for SDCARD and SD-EXT.

I was suprised to find my latest wallpaper, the green leaf.

Is the green leaf the default wallpaper on abduction rom?

Thanks for this ROM.. I need to find a donate button next.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] demarcmj:
You probably checked the option (during setup) to restore your settings from Google
[Droid Incredible Android Development] luvit:
i didn't choose anything, unfortunately.

i just now setup my first google account on this ROM.

i almost fear it's not a clean install like i had hoped.. i'm only basing this off of the leaf wallpaper, which I last used.

i formatted everything except SDCARD and SD-EXT..

everything on the SDCARD was also manually deleted except for a folder of my backup APKs and the two ZIP files i was planning to use.

..

---------- Post added at 09:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:08 PM ----------

yeah, i just found my existing SMS messages are on this phone.

i was expecting those to be gone.

should i be concerned with this possibly botched "clean install"?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Ruggerxpunk:
lol. I missed a "1" in my post.

I meant I'm running version 2.0a9 at 1.13 on the performance governor and I had two reboots total over the span of 30 mins.

I just wanted to let the guy know who was asking about a daily driver.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] tiny4579:
Gotcha.

Since you're running performance at 1.13 the reboots are probably because your voltage is too low for the 1.13ghz clock speed. Maybe +25 or +50 unless you're using the stock kernel that doesn't support HAVS.

While my comments on stability are not really valid as my Inc is my old dev phone, I don't know how valid commenting on a daily driver is and reporting reboots is if you're overclocked at all. Not every phone can handle overclocking equallly.

I'm sure you were just reporting your own experience. But instability comments have stronger weight if you're running stock settings.

And really I'm just trying to state my opinion. I apologize if I've offended. Really impressed with the ROM so far hanger84.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] omniatic:
Ran 1.81, the betas, and previous releases with the 2/26 Incredikernel. Zram enabled, 245/1075, SAv2. Can't say I had any problems or reboots. All was smooth sailing. Damn nice job on the ROM. Just couldn't get used to ICS though. Made a backup for when I get bored, and flashed back to Nils' 3.5...just can't live without those big beautiful 3D widgets. Definitely will try 2.0 HWA once the bugs are worked out. Kinda enjoyed being Senseless for a few days.

Thanks
[Droid Incredible Android Development] dmbtimmyb21:
G-Bread FTW

I concur: maybe it's the hardware limitations (processor) etc., but now using evervolv gbread and it's so much smoother and responsive. Do you have any tips or tricks for making Nils' 3.5 perform well? Sense 3.0 has NEVER liked my phone. Sluggishness all-around.

I guess my preference is to utilize a ROM that doesn't need so much tweaking (i.e. sync options etc.) to perform well. This development, nonetheless, is freakin' awesome and thanks to all developers involved.

Either way, Android & open source #FTW.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Hanger84:
It's not a botched clean install. Those things were restore from googles servers because you didn't uncheck the restore box durring the setup. Even if those things were on your SD card, the ROM will not default to them unless those settings are restore from googles servers. It's nothing wrong with the ROM or the install. If you want a completely clean install without all of that, reset the user data and go back through the set up and uncheck the restore box durring the set up.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] demarcmj:
Before flashing 2.0a9 last night, I replaced the 4 lockscreen images

ic_lockscreen_chevron_right.png

ic_lockscreen_handle_normal.png

ic_lockscreen_handle_pressed.png

ic_lockscreen_lock_pressed.png

What I get now is, instead of the little lines emanating from the right side of the lock, I just get the one curved line (ic_lockscreen_chevron_right.png) growing like your blue android used to.

It seems like you must have edited some file somewhere to make it grow instead of go off to the right, no?

Or are there just more than those 4 images that I need to copy?

As always, thanks for all your hard work. This ROM rocks.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] yelloguy:
I have been on this ROM for a couple of weeks and I am getting a little tired of all the reboots and freezes. I am sure it freezes and reboots when I am not using the phone because about 2-3 times a week I pick up the phone to use it and I can't. That is what makes me a little annoyed. Is there something I am missing or does everyone have this problem. I flashed the ROM as-is and have done no tweaks whatsoever. To flash, I have always used the following method:

- Factory Restore

- Format system

- Format boot

- Flash ROM

- Flash Gapps

Does zram or the v6 or any other tweak help with the stability of this ROM? It is these random reboots that make me wanna go back to a sense ROM or CM7. The reason I am on ICS is because I like the look of it. A lot.

Is 2.0 version any better in the stability department?

Thanks in advance.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] demarcmj:
Zram and adjusting the CPU settings help, but it's still a problem in the pre 2.0 builds (even more so, it seems, in Abduction than other ICS builds, strangely).

That said, it all seems to be fixed in 2.0 (although, admittedly, I haven't spent a great deal of time with it yet).

I haven't experienced any issues with plugging/unplugging (I hadn't with the HWA versions of 72's or Evervolv either)

I Haven't experienced a random reboot (I had maybe 1 per day with 72's, which even if that turns out to be the case here too, It'd still be better than pre 2.0).

The issue where the phone would lock up when rotating (forcing turning off auto-rotate) that plagued Evervolv and 72's HWA builds doesn't seem to be an issue anymore.

There does seem to be a significant compromise in battery life, but that's not a big issue for me, and not something you asked about either. I just thought I'd throw it out there.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Hanger84:
There is a little more to the lockscreen mod. Sorry I didn't mention it. Wolf spent a lot of time working on the locksreen, so I'll find out what the other file is. With that said, messing with the framework apk can cause issues, specifically, EMMC will probably stop working, and you'll probably run into FCs. If you can tollerate the lockscreen as is for a bit, I'll work on making a flashable revert for it. I'm also going to work on making a new mod as well that will be the default in future builds. It won't be blue, but it won't be the android or the stock one either.....that's all I can say for now.

2.0 is slowly coming together and bugs are being worked out and new features added. It's taking time for 2 reasons: 1, I've been in beast mode on this ROM since day one....spending days without sleep and forgoing many things in my life while releasing constant updates almost daily....so with 2.0, I've decided to take my time with it and take it easy before I burn myself out. 2, the changes from 1.81 to 2.0 are so very drastic, that pretty much 75% of the rom has been completely redone and modified, so while some things got fixed,, others broke. We're having to pull from 4 different source codes to fix things that didn't work in 1.81 and to fix some things we broke....such as the camera and torch.

I'll be releasing a new test build in a few days, or a full release of the 2.0 preview with some small changes and updates to it.

Also, I'm happy to say that version 1.81 is now available in ROM Manager, as well as 1.82. 1.82 is exactly the same as 1.81,, just with changes to the build prop for ROM Manager support, and the goo-inside app was removed....so a flashover will work just fine, but it's completely not needed.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] yelloguy:
Rotating was a problem with 72's build and I had it turned off. With this one, it hasn't been a problem. 1.5 used to reboot randomly but 1.8 seems have more issues around plugging/unplugging the charger. I am glad to hear that it is better in 2.0 but the worse battery life sort of takes away the joy. My phone goes for slightly over a day with 1.81. So if it gets any worse, then it might start to be an issue.

Thanks.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] demarcmj:
Your quote made me notice my accidental copy of the end of my second bullet to the end of the third. So, thanks :)

Yea, I'm noticing the battery life. I've only been up for about 3.5hrs and I'm at 55%. Granted, I've been using it a bit, but not a whole lot. It doesn't really bother me though. I have a charger at my desk, in my car, and all over my house :) A'int no battery gonna bring me down.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jlokos:
This makes more sense. I thought you were running the non-HWA version. I have used the non-HWA version as a DD since it came out. It has the incredikernel and everything works. No reboots, or FCs. I just flashed the 2.0a9 last night w/stock kernel. I'm using the interX governor at 1.075; I have had no reboots or FCs.
