:eek: Wow. That MUST be why I cannot reproduce it, LOL. Is that just showing the ones with phone numbers?

Is anyone else having similar issues?
[EVO 4G Android Development] mahootzki:
What happens is I press phone, it opens and I see the call log (which it's set to do) but I see only numbers and not contacts they belong too.

If I start typing right away a contact I'm looking for to call, it doesn't recognize anything for almost a minute, when I see the numbers in call log change to names, only then can I start looking for the contacts I wanna call.

Hope I splained it well, and hope even more that you can help... ;-)

Don't hold up the update release even a second because of this though!

Did you look into the Proxy settings? Is there a chance it could be implemented into 0. 0. 4?

& One problem I have is if I turn off 4g and go to airplane mode then turn it off it turns 4g back on. It's not a major major problem but WiMax is a pretty big battery drainer.

[EVO 4G Android Development] grayn0de:
I don't even have near that many contacts to try to recreate this. I can only assume that it is a lot of data to be polled each time the app refreshes. Perhaps a low class SD card with ap2sd/dalvik2sd could cause it. Have you had that issue before on any other ROMS? Also, have you tried changing any of the memory manager values?

For Proxy settings: I have not looked too far into expanding the Settings menu yet, no. If I can find an example of a Sense 1.0 ROM with the wireless proxy settings enabled, to give me something to go by) I could attempt to recreate it.

For the 4G toggle: If 4G is off and you reboot (normal) the phone, does the

4G turn itself on?

This just happened to me tonight -- it was fine a day or two ago -- but now I can't install any apps from Google Play Store. It always says "Error processing purchase.", even with free apps.

Cleared data for Play Store, but it didn't help.

Any ideas? Thanks!

[EVO 4G Android Development] JerryGNYC:
I've had that happen on different ROMS. It's usually a problem with the Play Store servers. Give it awhile to clear up. Somebody in one or more of Google's datacenters is probably running around fixing it... :p
[EVO 4G Android Development] ca1ne:
Download google play, reinstall it, and for good measure, you can clear data on google framework services .. Then I reboot..might be over kill but it works for me each time

^ Same thing I do when market starts to not work.. Then after I reinstall it it starts to work again.
[EVO 4G Android Development] grayn0de:
This is not confined to this ROM or even this version of the OS and could be caused by an app that was installed. I've seen reports of toggle widgets causing it. Also personally seen this happen when batch restoring apps & data via Titanium Backup.

A clean install will fix the issue, but it may come back after restoring/installing apps. I recommend:

1) back up all of your apps (and/or nandroid)

2) Wipe all and do clean install

3) Immediately after flashing, check to see if issue remains

4) If not, restore apps (without data) one at a time, testing to see if the issue comes back after each one.

5) After apps are restored, restore the data for the apps you need to restore data to (only), one at a time, testing each time.

That procedure should help you track down the culprit.

Easiest way is to use ROM Toolbox (or similar). It's under the Performance tab.
[EVO 4G Android Development] BradBrugger:
I have similar issues using rocket dial pro, I also have 1500 contacts. The issue sounds alot like mine.
[EVO 4G Android Development] grayn0de:
UPDATE: From the next release onward, you will not need to pre-wipe partitions or caches prior to flashing AlterROM. I've managed to get AROMA to backup and restore all user applications (in /data/app), as well as perform all necessary wipes for a clean install. I've also worked out a way to have the installer read previous install choices and flash the same options, which will make upgrades and updates a lot more efficient. This was something I put together for swagstr to use in SOS, so all credit for the idea goes to him. :cool:
[EVO 4G Android Development] jrny99:
if I wanted to change launchers, do I need to re-install, wipe and all the other goodies or is there another way ?
[EVO 4G Android Development] grayn0de:
Install the launcher of your choice from Play Store. Remove current launcher from /data/apps, then pull battery and reboot to recovery and wipe cache/dalvic. Reboot back to OS.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jrny99:
well that didnt work, went into a bootloop. had to re-install a fresh copy. . .
[EVO 4G Android Development] grayn0de:

Did you use papa smurphs tweaks? That could be the issue as it's looking for the old launcher you removed..

[EVO 4G Android Development] jrny99:
used AOSP LAUNCHER from the market.
[EVO 4G Android Development] grayn0de:
A search for "aosp launcher" in the market yielded no valid replacements. You are certain you didn't install a theme only? Can you provide a link?

Edit: I just used those steps to switch from GO to ADW without issue. Granted the battery pull is overkill if there are no FCs and you may not need to clear the caches (better safe than sorry, though). You can press the Home key after removing the launcher and load into the one you downloaded.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jrny99:
I thought I could kill the default and it would give me a choice. I did a search for it and its gone. Age is a drag sometimes.
[EVO 4G Android Development] grayn0de:
I've devised a way to allow everyone to completely alter their setup from within the installer. This will you to switch out the mods without losing any data/apps. It's still experimental, as the optional setups have grown rather complex and I have not yet tested all the possible combinations, but I have not had an issue yet. You'll be able to switch launchers this way.

I've doing a final run of RC1, right now, to iron out a couple little things. I should have it in a state worthy of uploading tonight. ;)

[EVO 4G Android Development] shizume:
Just finish installing. Very sweet touch to the aroma install. It is very clear and I might add "dummy free." Its give very little chance of screwing up on the install. So far running very smooth. I loved the transparency and battery mod. I run the phone over the weekend and get back to you if I run into anything.

But here's a SS of my phone with goLauncher.
[EVO 4G Android Development] PookiePrancer:
Running flawlessly so far, though I had to install twice. The first time, I installed Beats audio and deleted the stock music player, but Amazon MP3 and Play Music would just force-close. Went with DSP the second time.

And just my opinion: I think the notification pull-down is a bit too transparent. Very hard to read with other text in the background.
[EVO 4G Android Development] HD2FORNICK:
Great ROM so far. One question though. I installed with the Beats Audio and can't seem to find it anywhere. What and where is it? :confused:

greeting, I would have to agree with these users, other than that, this is one fine rom. job well done

what happened to the font size adjustment in SMS messaging ?
[EVO 4G Android Development] grayn0de:
I went with blue, this time around. ;)

I was thinking that, as well, but wasn't sure. I think my eyes adjusted to it over a time. I wanted to get everyone's opinion, so I left it as is. I can tone down the transparency pretty easily.

I'll look into the FC issues with Amazon MP3 and Play Music. I know they work fine when using XLOUD, though.

The Beats Audio is an engine. It's comprised of files in bin, lib, framework and etc. No app to go with it.

What font size adjustment do you mean? I was not aware of such a feature and did not alter the MMS app in any way. :confused:
[EVO 4G Android Development] jrny99:

Flashed RC1, clean install. The AROMA installer, quite simply, rules.

I see now not only is there a opt in screen for optional things you do want (eg facebook) but you have added an opt out screen for a couple extra sense apps you can remove if you dont want (eg stock htc mail app). Outstanding.

Plus four different kernels, four different launchers, four flavors of quick settings - awesome sauce.

Yes, transparency on notification drop down is a little too much unless wallpaper and everything else is a very light shade, and much of the rest of the ROM is set up more for darker themes.

One feature request- can Titanium Backup be a check box in AROMA? I have to install it by hand every time. ES File Explorer too.

Great stuff.
[EVO 4G Android Development] grayn0de:
I'm uploading to dev-host, now. Will update upon completion.

I'm running the same kernel with xLoud and have not run into that, yet.

Sure, but I have a feeling that it will not work unless it comes packaged with a framework-rek.apk. I've made alterations to the one in AlterROM, so if a SystemUI.apk from a more pure stock ROM where to be used without the framework, som text would become white on a white background.

I will tone down the transparency for all of the QS mods to make it more readable, while retaining some level of transparency and the white text on black background (which I like). I should have something by Monday night, hopefully.

The Upgrade install only works after a clean install of 0.0.4-RC1 or newer, since this is a new feature that was not incorporated in the preview. This was stated in the OP. RC1 creates a folder on the /sdcard to store the installer prop files.

It will work for all future installs, provided that I don't heavily alter AROMA's structure.

I could include them, yes. However, if you do a fresh install or an upgrade of 0.0.4-RC1, it should backup and restore any apps you have under /data/app, except for any old launchers and old flash player.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mahootzki:
Thanks, so to install rc1 we have to fully wipe device as if installing a brand new ROM?

Sent from the heart of my bottom.. er.. bottom of my heart!
[EVO 4G Android Development] shizume:
Grayn0de,

I'm curious when you said upgrade install.

1. So what you are saying in since I've install rc1, I can now leave everything in tack and rerun aroma rc1 and click upgrade to change settings without having to do a full install? Or did you mean:

2. Every other release after this we can run upgrade? Which is normal but maybe you can clarify a lil more on that.

Thanks
[EVO 4G Android Development] grayn0de:
No, the installer does any and all necessary wipes and formats and will backup/restore your downloaded apps. Just flash the zip and it will do all the work for you. ;)

ALL:

Mirror linked in OP.
[EVO 4G Android Development] grayn0de:
Fresh install allows you to choose your options, while Upgrade will grab your current configuration files, which are located in an AlterROM folder on the SD card, and install those mods. Both options will backup user app and perform all wipes/formatting, then restore apps. Each release after this, you can run Upgrade and it will basically upgrade the system files and mod versions, while retaining your apps (minus data, for now).

At this time, if you want to change the options, run a fresh install. It will keep your apps, but not the data for each app. I'm working on getting a Modify install option that will allow you to change the options without losings apps or data (installer will not format partitions).
[EVO 4G Android Development] NxNW:
Wow. That's a pretty useful feature. You are too modest. You should call attention to this. It differentiates this ROM from most (all?) others.

In fact many people assume the best method to install any ROM involves wiping, re-wiping, super-wiping and wiping again. Your existing instructions did clearly say to just do a couple of the various wipes in amon ra [EDIT I see the OP now reflects all this] but many will just assume from previous painful experiences that more wipes are better. So definitely advertise the fact that your installer script can save people a lot of time.

(As for my case, I had just partitioned my card and so this was a very very clean install, no RC1, titanium, no nothing)
[EVO 4G Android Development] X_N_:
What I did was extract the system UI from Alter rom 0.0.3 and I replaced 0.0.4 system UI with 0.0.3 and it worked.

I will upload the system UI when I get some time.

Anyone want to talk about swap?

Before installing RC1, I created a swap partition, then chose lionfish during the aroma installer, downloaded swapper2 from the market, configured it to enable swap using the partition, checked to make sure it was all working (it was, and still is) and restored tons of apps and launched them all at once basically to see what would happen.

So far I would say the results are mixed.

I can see that things are working, but I wonder if there may be multiple memory management strategies fighting each other.

I don't recall ever having a problem with memory on any version of alter ROM, so this is more of an academic exercise than an earnest effort to solve anything. If swap doesn't make me feel really warm and fuzzy, I'll just go back to stock and call it good.

Anyone have any experience with swap?
[EVO 4G Android Development] grayn0de:
The EPST.apk that is included with AlterROM is an older one, which fixes some things that do not work properly in the newer one. Mainly, you couldn't alter the Sprint proxies. I've made no effort to hack any of the default values, as doing such would require no small amount of research into the smali code. I'll put his on my list of things to look into, but I cannot guarantee I'll have a fix anytime soon. I will look into it as I have time, though.

Personally, I've not noticed a drop in 4G, but I only use it occasionally for large downloads. Maybe 10 minutes of usage at a time, tops.

Honestly, I've never attempted to run too many apps at once, but you could try adjusting the memory manager values with ROM Toolbox or something to make them less aggressive. I've not looked into the use of a swap partition very much since the G1 days, as I never felt it was needed on the Evo. I've tweaked the memory manager values for the stock kernel, but I cannot say offhand what they are in Lionfish.
