been away for a couple of weeks trying other roms. some very nice ones, but there are just some things that do not work the way I like them to; the way I remember them working when I had this up and running. So yesterday I flashed it back even though there isn't an update to fiddle with. I don't care for once in my life about the darn updates, I just want my evo to work with every last app and every last customization that I throw at it. That is why I remembered KWIQ. It just works, works fast, works long, works the way I want it to. This rom is a badass from the word go.

edit: one more thing it is cool; literally it runs cooler than most AOSP roms and all sense roms that I have had. I really freak when I touch the kickstand and it feels like a skillet in IHOPs kitchen. I could keep sushi fresh on this baby it is so cold now and I've been running it all day.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jamieg71:
Haha thanks! Glad your enjoying it, sorry for the delay on an update, I've taken on too many projects to keep up with lol. There will be an update, it's just a few "expected arguments" away atm. Tell you what keep an eye open for this it is going to be EPIC!!

Till then enjoy my first ever rom! It's what I use as a go to rom while working on other projects, because your right, it just works.
[EVO 4G Android Development] cityneversleepz:
wow, took a look at THIS and THAT is something else. I have always wanted THIS AND THAT. I have admired deck from my Sprint Hero days and that little baby still belongs to my wife because she has good eyesight - LOL, it is still running deck so I don't have to mess with it. Thanks jamieg, will keep an eye on your efforts.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jamieg71:
Haha, thanks. But not just my efforts, we are many we are one.

I downloaded and flashed the Beats Audio. Everything in recovery looks good. Don't have a good enough ear for sound. to say i notice anything. Can anyone tell me if beats works on AOSP?
[EVO 4G Android Development] jamieg71:
True beats audio will never work on this device, however there is a good mod out called xloud. Sorry not at a PC or I'd link ya to it. Quick Google search should find it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] cityneversleepz:
Yes, I flashed that zip. When I posted, I couldn't think of it. So that is good. It flashed real nice and I guess if I wasn't tone dead, I would notice the difference.

Thanks
[EVO 4G Android Development] jamieg71:
I think that will be an option in the next update.

Coming soon....

Jamie, you totally left us hangin with this huh? Are you ever gonna update it to cm 7.2 the latest rc 2 came the 26th of may? :confused: This thing is my daily and a total beast.
[EVO 4G Android Development] smatherlee:
ICH, this is a good daily, but your doing your self an injustice if you don't give reloaded a try.

Go on give it a chance, everyone else is. :D

[EVO 4G Android Development] jamieg71:
Yes I will be updating. Although, I may not be using the RC2. Newer is not always better, just give ReLoaded a shot, you'll see.

:cool:
[EVO 4G Android Development] 1mp4c:
Just switched to Reloaded from running this rom for quite a while now and I'm loving the smoothness of Reloaded sooo much. Phone feels new again even with the older android version.

Can't wait for the .50 version :D

EvOG Deck'd out ofc! And currently Reloaded!

[EVO 4G Android Development] pmacevad:
Gotcha man. Just came off a bit snippy, no harm and no foul. :cool: Love this Rom and just would love to see the update if one was being worked on. Most stable aosp Rom on my phone. Played nicely with my device. :D

hey man take your time. i love your work. i'm glad to see other users still enjoying your ROM as much as i am. i tried deck's reloaded but just like pmacevad, KWIQ has proved to be the most stable on my EVO.
[EVO 4G Android Development] pmacevad:
Yea jamieg, good things are worth waiting for. Glad to hear gb wasn't forgotten about with all the new ics releases. Plus, I need my ffc and 4G :D. Reloaded is really nice too... This just runs better for me like I said. I'll test if you need when the time is right.

[EVO 4G Android Development] jamieg71:
Hey thanks guys, the sentiments are appreciated. I've learned a lot with ReLoaded and have recently begun playing with source. When I get in to the next phase of KWIQ I'm going to be bringing all that I have learned, and build from the ground up. A lot of things not possible with ReLoaded, due to framework, will make their way in here.

Expect Aroma installation, MORE speed, MORE stability, options galore, and an entirely unheard of level of customization.

Facebook contact sync

One of the things that keep me away from CM is that I can never get my phone book contacts to sync with my FB. I just cant stand having their icon be the default one and not their profile pic....what am I doing wrong?
[EVO 4G Android Development] jamieg71:
I don't believe you are doing anything wrong. Since FB updated 2 times ago or so, I have had the same problem. Try Friendcaster, I think that's the name, it synced my fb for me before on aosp. Haven't tried it in awhile, but it's worth a shot.

Edit: Yep it's Friendcaster

This link is from market on pc, not sure how it will work from phone- https://play.google.com/store/apps/...wyLDEsInVrLmNvLnNlbmFiLmJsdWVOb3RpZnlGcmVlIl0.
[EVO 4G Android Development] the.emilio:
Does it sync but just not use their FB pic?
[EVO 4G Android Development] celphtitled:
I'll check it out and see if it works, My batt. is less then 50% so I'll try tomorrow. This ROM sounds good I want to check it out, Thanks!

Yeah, I have their #'s just not their profile pics.
[EVO 4G Android Development] the.emilio:
Ok. Delete the link that you used in the OP that I provided. Seems it doesn't like that version. I had to flash the light version you provided. Market and everything works. Will run for a bit without any tweaks (well just the SD tweaks lol).
[EVO 4G Android Development] jamieg71:
Thanks for the heads up, I pulled that link. Tomorrow I'll sort out a proper Gapps link and confirm working. Have some other apps to update as well it appears, expect an update for sure tomorrow.

Edit, looks like we have a new market app called "play shop". It seems to be faster..
[EVO 4G Android Development] the.emilio:
Ok. What I had did on AOSP or any CM based rom was to sync facebook when asked. After that, I would go to my google contact, edit contact, click menu and "join". This will let you join the two contacts together. Then if you scroll down after joining them, you can click their fb profile pic and select "use this photo" and it will use it for their contact. Long and pain in the ass, but it works lol.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jamieg71:
Hey thanks for the quick tut! Also, I just synced contacts through friendcaster and it worked perfect. Even gives the option for highquality photos. In the app select the settings icon in the top right corner, scroll to "contact sync settings" choose options, hit sync. If your like me you will then have to go to accounts and sync, select friendcaster, and then "sync now".

Just a little less painful than joining individually.
[EVO 4G Android Development] the.emilio:
Hmm... I shall try that out. Also just got the notice for Google Play. Yeah you were right, pretty snappy. So far the rom is running smooth. Just hope I don't get a wake lock that drains the battery when I am sleeping. That was my only downside with CM.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jamieg71:
To be completely honest with you, I haven't checked for wake lock on this build or any others for a couple months now. I run 245/1036 with the smartass governor, and have had great battery life with the stock battery. SZ 2.2.1 is a havs kernel. So it is running undervolted all the time. If you find you have a wake lock please be sure to let me know.

There was at one time 2 seperate known culprits for wake lock on all cm based roms. One was the phone.apk that caused it, and the other a proximity sensor .so file. Both are easy fixes so please report back.
[EVO 4G Android Development] the.emilio:
Just calibrated the battery. Lets see how it runs. I also use the smartass option.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Waynehead69:
Looks great, I'm going to give it a spin! Thanks
[EVO 4G Android Development] jamieg71:
Btw, I forgot to mention in the op. If you go in to spare parts and for window&transition animation speeds, select off or fast, then in adw settings/screen preferences, set the desktop scrolling speed to 0, it's like you hit the instant switch. It makes navigation within the rom insanely fast.
[EVO 4G Android Development] nico4k:
It's Google video chat included in this build? That's all that stops me from switching to cm builds.

[EVO 4G Android Development] adityo97:
just curious, how did you get the 1769 score on quadrant?

it is the highest score on OG ive ever seen,

flashing your ROM can only give me 1000+ score

what tweaks do u use
[EVO 4G Android Development] jamieg71:
I will put up a guide in post 2 of my gaming settings. Might be a few, working currently.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jamieg71:
I don't believe so, there should be no reason it wouldn't work. I'll take a look into it soon as I get home.
[EVO 4G Android Development] nico4k:

[EVO 4G Android Development] sag7392:
I just posted the same question on Deck's 1.3-2.3.7 thread. I'd like to see where this goes here as well.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jamieg71:
Just to clarify, do you mean gtalk video?

I have never used any type of video chat, most of the people I know have mil-spec phones that definitely dont have the capability. Please report back your findings. If there is a way for it to work, Decks thread would be a great place to find out how. Wealth of good info, and knowledgeable folks there.
[EVO 4G Android Development] sag7392:
Yep---GTalk Video

Edit- I will, as soon as I get some info over there.
[EVO 4G Android Development] macpat83:
4G work in this Rom?
[EVO 4G Android Development] jamieg71:
Most definitely
[EVO 4G Android Development] jamieg71:
Have you tried this? https://play.google.com/store/apps/...=W251bGwsMSwyLDEsImNvbS5za3ltb2JpdXMudnRvayJd

It's called Vtok, I just downloaded it and when attempting to make a vid call, (to myself as I dont know anyone that uses it), the front cam did work while trying it out. It looks promising, if anyone would check it out and report back, I would be most grateful.

Edit: I better get back to work, the rest of the crew is gonna lynch me if I don't.. lol
[EVO 4G Android Development] adityo97:
Great, please do, and thx

-verified through supersonic-
[EVO 4G Android Development] sag7392:
17mb!? WOW! And you can't move it to SD. Either way, I may give it a try later on today. I just want to add that GTalk video is not a deal breaker for me...on any CM based ROM. Will report back my findings.
[EVO 4G Android Development] gruesomewolf:
Good looking stuff going on here man.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jamieg71:
Thanks GW I appreciate it! I'm starting out with some baby steps, but have ambitions to go much further.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Lperez6485:
Tried installing twice got stuck on the splash screen both times. Will try again later. About how long for first boot?
[EVO 4G Android Development] nico4k:
yes, i'm referring to gtalk video. I have seen vtok (but its not a native app). I would prefer the native gtalk app. but if it is not that easy to implement, then guess i will have to forget about it...:(
[EVO 4G Android Development] jamieg71:
Sounds like a bad download or insufficient wipe. Check MD5. If it's correct, wipe everything except SD card, flash a wipe all zip, (I linked one in OP), rom, gapps, reboot.

My boot ups take less than 5 minutes, ymmv.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jamieg71:
Good catch! lol

Ah then yes the gTalk app is included, in the gapps. It shows me a green camcorder icon for my profile, but I have no way to test if it functions correctly. Sorry wish there was more I could do to help, hopefully someone will report back.

Edit: Second post in OP updated with gaming settings other stuff
[EVO 4G Android Development] nico4k:
Gtalk Video is included!!

Sweet! it should work then. I will be switching to this baby as soon as the next update comes. THANKS A BUNCH! :D
[EVO 4G Android Development] sag7392:
"In "Spare Parts" turn both "Window & Transition animations" to fast, or even better, off completely."

Wow, with the above settings my baby feels faster in this area! Thanks!

I also set LPP to the fastest speeds.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jamieg71:
Yea, unfortunately I think it is adw that lags the transitions. I would of included another launcher but anymore everyone has a favorite, either go, adw, etc, and it would be difficult to please everyone. And the built in adw is very light. :) Personally I use adw ex, got it for .10 cents, lol. Its wicked fast on this set-up.

Will be updating rom tonight, it may be kind of late the girlfriend wants some Jamie time.. lol

When I try to update the Voicemail it says "General failure. Please try again at a later time."
[EVO 4G Android Development] jamieg71:
It took me a minute to figure out where to update Voicemail at. Future reference Voicemail/menu/settings/check for update, lol, I was looking on the market, and under manage apps.

Anyhow, I also experienced this as well. I have had 3 people call and leave me messages, aside from the 9016 message, the app itself functions perfectly. Perhaps there is no update available. Not sure on that one.

I do however plan to include the 9016 fix with next update. Planning for tonight.

@Jamie,

No dice on the Talk video...I can chat via text, but I don't have the little video icon on any of my contacts. This was after pulling it from your posted gapps lite. Funny thing was, after I installed it...I opened the app and saw the video icon. I would try to use it and would get an FC, but the app didn't FC...just FC dialog box and then back to the app...interesting. Anyhow, I decided to wipe cache and d.cache via recovery. When I rebooted, I went back to Talk and no more video icon. Oh well, I'll survive, lol.

I am following the progress of your ROM for a possible flash in a few days...keep up the great work!
[EVO 4G Android Development] jamieg71:
Excellent, good find. Out of curiosity I copied those files

to system/app, erased originals of course, set permissions and it worked great. I had doubts being on odexed. Will be incorporated in tonights release, thanks.

Well it looks like video chat is gonna be a challenge, I've looked around and it appears to be a common problem at the moment. I'll keep looking for any possible solutions, and implement them when found.

Thanks for the interest btw.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ss12108:
Hey didn't flash the rom yet but just following the progress. FYI when VVM is installed on an AOSP rom it can't be updated from within the app itself...you always get the general failure message. When there is an update the easiest thing to do is nand backup, wipe and flash a stock rom, TB backup the VVM from stock after updating it within the app (or just copy the system APK to SD using root explorer), then use the APK you backed up or copied to install on the AOSP rom once its back up and running.

Or, most likely someone will post a new APK in the themes/apps section of the forum once its discovered there's an update :D

---------- Post added at 07:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:59 PM ----------

Also, just a suggestion, but you may want to include the Google Play Store in your next update instead of Android Market. Google is moving everything over to the Play platform soon anyway so you'd be a step ahead of the game haha.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jamieg71:
Update new links in OP

**Update Changelog in OP**

New links up, now even KWIQR!!​

Hey thanks for the info about VVM, I imagine that ought to help some folks. As far as including Google Play in the Gapps, I kept having FC's with the video app when I did. For now just allow it to update on it's own untill I can track down what I'm missing and get it right.

For anyone that had problems flashing other gapps that were posted, I found the culprit for that issue. I accidentally left the google apps in when odexing the first release. Problem has been corrected feel free to flash another, I recommend the 8/28 Gapps. Will probably add a new link shortly.
[EVO 4G Android Development] evobb10:

[EVO 4G Android Development] CRXspeed:
Badass rom man! I think its better than cm's latest nightly. Keep up the good work!
[EVO 4G Android Development] jamieg71:
Thanks! IMO this is the fastest GB AOSP rom in E4G development forum with everything working. 500+ downloads and no reported bugs, so far. :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] NxNW:
Your method looks great and shows a lot of discipline. However I noticed that you average many successive runs to come up with your own personal benchmark number and that the screenshot you posted was from the seventh run in a row.

Some feel that the first run is the truest indicator of performance, and that all subsequent runs involve some degree of caching and will always appear artificially higher. Are you finding that your first runs are consistently the lowest of the group? And may I ask what a typical score would be on the first run?

One other poster in this thread reported something close to 1000, clearly much less than the 1746 in the screenshot.

I'm not saying this ROM isn't blazing fast, and no matter what numbers we are talking about, it's great to see anyone making ROMs with a focus on pure performance, but I just wanted to get a better idea of how your experience with quadrant compares to others'.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jamieg71:
This was just off the cusp from curiosity due to your post.

Edit: To better answer your question any where from mid 14 hundreds to mid 15's. It seems to vary, hence why I'm so anal with pulling averages. Lol

Edit 2: Haha that was with several apps running in background.
[EVO 4G Android Development] sclarktay4:
What Launcher is that in the OP?
[EVO 4G Android Development] jamieg71:
That is the standard ADW included in the CM base. I can't include any paid apps, and people have their own personal favorites, so I left it in system as its such a lightweight app. Feel free to replace it with your own favorite launcher.

For best results use a root file explorer to move to system/app, fix permissions to match accordingly. Next either through the included app System Tuner or in recovery wipe cache and dalvik. Reboot. Hit the home button and check "make default" then select your launcher. You can then go delete the original .apk and matching .odex. Finally go to Titanium Backup hit menu/select/more and then choose "Integrate sys Dalvik into ROM". You will now have your launcher of choice in system with recourses decompressed (odexed).

Edit: I just realized I moved things around in OP, that was stock launcher with Sonny Sekhon's Ice Cream Sandwich theme (FREE in Market) for the CM theme chooser built into rom.
[EVO 4G Android Development] sag7392:
@Jamie

Well, I pulled the trigger and I am currently running your ROM. So far so good, no problems flashing it (gapps included) and yes it is fast! I'll see how it plays with battery life and look out for any FC's as well. Again, thanks and great work!

Edit--- @Jamie

Just curious as to your kernel governor of choice, with SZ 2.2.1? I have played with SA, IX, and SZ. I have found that I get the best overall battery and performance with SZ...with IX a close second. SA makes my device feel slower for some reason. Thanks.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jamieg71:
Thanks for making the jump over! As far as the governor of choice.. I pretty much have always stuck with SZ gov when on an SZ kernel, at least for day to day use. I've always figured the guys that built the kernel probably had a good handle on how to code a governor to best make use of it. Although I really haven't done any comparisons for battery life between it and SA. Not sure but it appears as though the upscaling for cpu speeds is more efficient, and screen off profile more agressive.

On another note..

Edited for content.​

Between the first and second build there has been some 400+ downloads with pretty much no bug reports (video not working for Gtalk). I'm hoping that is an indication the rom is stable enough to hold everyone over. I never expected my first rom to be recieved so well, I am humbled, thank you all!

I do have good news however. I am going to release two new versions of KWIQ. The first, KWIQ-LEE, will be very similar to this current release but geared more towards multi-tasking, and ultimate stability via the "Lee" kernel. Dta2sd will be activated upon first boot, it will be more feature rich and geared towards the socially active or "power" business user. The second, KWIQ-R, is going to be a BALLS OUT stripped down gaming/media powerhouse. I have been been playing with where and how the cache is accessed and believe I have found a game changing framework modification. The performance increase from this change is immediate and down right unbelievable. There are serious stability issues as it stands right now, but holy **** batman, if this mod can be made stable...

Thank You to everyone that has made use of this rom so far. I hope it meets or exceeds your expectations and once again I apologize for my absence the next few weeks.

Jamie
