What kernel did you choose? If you chose anthrax, what's your hboot?

Sent from my lair.
[EVO 4G Android Development] dgambler:
Chose Underworld w/SBC... I went back to a pre-CM7 Nand and started from there, if that doesn't work, I'll post the hboot version.

EDIT: Didn't work... I'm on

hboot: 0.97

radio: 2.15.00.11.19
[EVO 4G Android Development] dgambler:
Tried Lionfish /SBC as well, didn't work. Upgraded the radios, didn't work. Could hboot be the problem? I roooted many many moons ago and never worried about upgrading it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] PookiePrancer:
I've never done anything to my hboot, and I have an early Evo; installing this was no problem.

That's sweet.
[EVO 4G Android Development] grayn0de:
Going to try to catch up, here. Advance apologies for a long read.

Is this still happening? This seems to be an intermittent problem various stock-based ROMS. I don't believe anyone has found the actual cause. As for the full extended quick settings, the way I'm currently doing the quick settings mods requires me to maintain 4 individual SystemUI.apks, which is not exactly the most efficient method, I suppose, as it limits exactly how much can be done without blowing up the size of the ROM zip. That being said, I'm working on a different method that should accomodate this request.

That very well could be, but I've had this happen to me on a barebones stock rom, before. No QS involved, iirc.

I'll have this fixed in the release. I found what I changed that broke it.

I pulled out the services related to RSS and News. I can try to create an add-on to put the functionality and apps back, the way I did for the social networking bits, etc.

Not exactly sure how that app works, but to get that change there is a certain file that needs to be modified, from which that value is read. My installer attempts to make the required change, but it is pretty hit or miss. I think I might end up asking one of the kernel devs for help with a slightly more modified stock kernel to achieve what I want to to.

That is correct. I'll rip it out if it does not work. Might make an App Sharing add-on, as well. I'll look into the bluetooth thing and see if anyone has found a fix.

See answer below.

If coming from a different ROM, especially AOSP, you may need to do a full wipe in recovery before flashing. I have not (nor would it be feasible) tested every ROM to AlterROM transfer combination. I can really only vet the "no wipe" statement for one version of AlterROM to another. Now that the issue has come to my attention, I'll update the OP to reflect this.
[EVO 4G Android Development] dgambler:
Just did a full wipe as well and having the same issue. Might be that Amon RA 3.11 is causing the issue?

Or perhaps the SD card needs to be partitioned?
[EVO 4G Android Development] volk9029:
Your hboot version is fine to flash every kernel. Some people had problem flashing antrax with 0.76 hboot. Just wipe everything but sd card and you should be fine.

[EVO 4G Android Development] volk9029:
Can you please clarify on full wipe, also did you check md5 sum. It might be a bad download.

Sent from my lair.
[EVO 4G Android Development] grayn0de:
Make sure the device is charged and unplugged, then please try the following:

1) Factory Reset & Wipe cache/dalvik in recovery

2) Re-download and flash AlterROM RC2 using Clean Install option

3) At the end of the Install process, prior to the Reboot screen, there will be a 'Save Logs' option. Save the installer log.

4) Reboot and give the device a good amount of time (10-15 minutes or so) to boot. It will need to construct the Dalvik VM cache, which can take quite some time.

5) PM me with the results and that log.
[EVO 4G Android Development] dgambler:
2.) Done

2.) Done

3.) Done

4.) Done

5.) Done, however, file was 0 bytes

It booted, thanks! I checked the MD5 on the original download and it was accurate, but did the clean download anyway.
[EVO 4G Android Development] NxNW:
I think you may be right, there's something bigger happening. I even saw this being reported on a different phone (I happened to notice a remark about it recently in the Evo 3D forums) so I'll just shrug my shoulders and accept that every once in awhile I'll have to turn it back on by hand.

Low priority, but there's at least one person (me) that would use it if you put in that option.

No need. It does do something if you select a picture in gallery, for instance, and click on the "share" button. In the "Share Via" list you will see a "Bluetooth" option at the top. I personally have never used this, but for all I know it works fine. I just had a random and probably unrelated bluetooth issue once and decided I would just remove this apk as part of troubleshooting. But if it's small you may as well leave it in the ROM for anyone who does use it. One less thing to worry about.

Not sure if you caught my edited / follow up remarks, but it turns out there is no bug here. It's behaving normally, just with a different interface. I haven't had any *actual* bluetooth issues whatsoever with RC2 in fact. So cross that off your list...

..so that you can free up time to pursue more exciting things..

..such as feature requests..

..like this one: ( < - - insert smiley emoticon here)

Some of the Sense 3.5 ROMs that proliferated a while ago had a "Roam Only" control which is very useful for situations when you are right at the edge of Sprint's coverage area and would like to "help" the phone decide to roam a little sooner so you don't miss calls, drop calls, eat battery, etc, so much. I remember RCMix had this. In the OP for that ROM, Tommy Tomatoe and "Mr Greg" are credited with the hack. I wonder if it could be included in this ROM?

ROM works fine as is, of course, so if you have other hot items to look into, disregard.

Thanks again for all your attention to detail and follow through. Great ROM.

What were your choices during aroma install? Did you flash any mod? Did you try to wipe all but sd card from recovery and reflash the rom?

Sent from my lair.
[EVO 4G Android Development] NxNW:
If you mean the battery life indicator found in the upper right corner of the screen on almost every other ROM, it's not included by default on this ROM. Instead you can try the one-pixel wide "battery bar" indicator (just launch the included "battery bar" app to turn it on). Or if you prefer the stock look, go back to post 120 of this thread (or somewhere prior to that) where it is explained how to find a flashable zip for this.

SIP Internet Calling over 3G

I have SIP Internet Calling working over wi-fi but over 3G it does not work.

I found this post that explains what needs to be done:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1354838

Can you please enable SIP Internet Calling over 3G? :confused:
[EVO 4G Android Development] grayn0de:
If you want the battery icon (stock), simply choose on of the Quick Settings versions w/o Battery Bar. I removed the battery icon only from the QS mods that have the battery bar integrated, because it was kinda redundant to have two types of battery indicators.

You can change the size of the battery bar. I personally keep it set to 3 pixel thickness.

Sure. I'll work it into the release.
[EVO 4G Android Development] NxNW:
Choosing it in AROMA is much better than flashing the Sharing / Caring UOT battery mod I referred to: That one loses transparency in the notifications pulldown. Yours preserves transparency.

Meanwhile, kernel-wise, I don't know if it's unique to my phone or what, but if you simply flash the kernel without configuring any of the options (I don't even have SetCPU installed) Lionfish kicks the crap out of Underworld on this ROM. my idle time battery usage is zero. Last night running Aggressive Lionfish I took it off charger as soon as I saw the green light and this morning I had 97% battery. Underworld eats at least 10% overnight in the same conditions (poor CDMA signal, but strong WiFi and WiFi policy set to sleep never). For a person who does not want to mess around with "governors" etc, the clear choice is Lionfish.
[EVO 4G Android Development] NxNW:
The daily bump:

If you reinstall using "clean install" not only does it keep all your apps but dta2sd automatically moves your dalvik to your ext3 partition even if you didn't have it there before. You end up with crazy amounts of free space like 382 MB free. That's *with* 300 MB of apps installed.

I moved it back. I mean, it's slightly faster on internal and lord knows I have plenty of space...

Developer Status Update

Just wanted to post an update of what I've been working on, for those of you who may be curious.

I've completely halted work on v0.0.4-RLS and instead have decided on a full rebase and rewrite for a proper release of version 1.0.0. This may sound like a lot of work and in a way it is, but most of it has already been done in versions 0.0.4-RC2 and below. Most of the more time consuming tasks, at least. My reasoning behind this is pretty simple.

There are things that I've been trying to achieve that cannot be neatly done with AlterROM (code) in it's current state, without requiring a lot of debugging and rewriting. Also, as time has progressed, the setup has grown more complex and it is much more difficult to add additional features without the code looking horribly spliced together. I hate ugly code, LOL.

So, here's what you can expect:

- New 4.67 base (tommytomatoe's optimized stock base)

- More customization options for Clean install

- Rolling distribution/Patch style Upgrade option (no more reinstalling each version)

- Separate Add-on/App Installer option in AROMA

- Separate App Removal option in AROMA

- More intuitive AROMA menu layout

- More dynamic customization options after install

- More uniform look (themed Sense apps & System UI)

- Odex & Deodex options

- Better performance/battery life

- All the mods from the current version

- More intuitive/standardized versioning system

- ???

No estimated release date, as of yet, but it is all coming together much faster than I had originally anticipated when the idea popped into my head. I'll keep everyone updated as things progress.

[EVO 4G Android Development] NxNW:
I looked at the OP of Tommy's thread and it's a little out of date and besides I couldn't make any sense of what *was* there anyway. Is re-basing on Tommy's ROM more for convenience or is it actually superior to stock? I presume both. Are there a couple key improvements in Tommy's base that could be enumerated or is it just too many to count by now?
[EVO 4G Android Development] grayn0de:
It"s really only as outdated as the 4.67 RUU. All optimizations are listed in that OP.

The current version of AlterROM is only about 90% as optimized as Tommy's base is as far as the files go. Granted I've added build.prop and sysctl tweaks to AlterROM that give it a better boost (gleened from Smurf Tweaks and others), but I never finished all the base file optimizations I wanted to. I chose to re-base with the optimized 4.67 build to save time and energy repeating the same modifications. I only based the current version of AlterROM on the RUU because I wanted to learn exactly what optimizations Tommy did and how. I use this as a constant learning experience.

Not only does this save time for me, since I am basically building a whole new ROM (with the same ideas), but the release should be even faster than the current version. ;)

I've had a look at the upcoming version of this ROM and it is just what you'd expect. At least as good as its predecessors. Plus a few nice cosmetic touches to the UI that should give you a "Warm" glow..

Not sure about that 4G thing. Haven't seen it yet on this new version but as we have noted here previously, a lot of ROMs seem to have the issue. I saved a logcat that was running when it happened to me once on 0.0.4RC2. If anyone wants to look at it let me know.

Fixed 1.0.0 is linked in the OP (post#2). You do not need to download/install the fixed version, if you are already on Redux 1.0.0, unless you want Live Wallpapers. If you do, you can simply use Add/Remove to install Live Wallpapers. There's no need to reinstall.
[EVO 4G Android Development] grayn0de:

[EVO 4G Android Development] NxNW:
What is supposed to be in the AlterROM folder on the SD card? I just see three .prop files.

Every time I have ever flashed any version of the installer, even the one posted minutes ago, AROMA says upgrade is not an option.

Not that I really *need* live wallpapers, but they can be fun to play with sometimes..
[EVO 4G Android Development] grayn0de:
That is correct. They should be dex.prop, ux.prop and version.prop. These are there for use by the upgrade option.

There was no reason for me to change versions to 1.0.1 and write up the code behind Upgrade, since I only changed 3 characters in one file to fix the Live Wallpapers install. Much better to fix the file and reupload.

The Upgrade option is there for use by future versions. It currently checks the /sdcard/AlterROM/setup/version.prop and says a) "Up to date" or b) "Incompatible". This is intentional. ;)

You can install Live Wallpapers with the fixed update through the Add/Remove Software feature. No need to wipe/reinstall or anything like that. The main goal of rewriting the installer in the manner in which I did was to make the flashing of version 1.0.0 the last wipe/full flash needed for AlterROM users. This means no more factory reset wipes or lost apps/settings between versions. All future versions will use Upgrade, which will patch only the files changed between versions, leaving Install for use by those coming from a different ROM or wanting to do a full clean install for whatever reason.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Ice007112:

Ah, that explains a lot. My AlterROM folder has three totally different files, customize, mods, and removal .prop .

Perfect, thanks!
[EVO 4G Android Development] grayn0de:
It might be an app that is causing it. It's a slow process, but start with a more barebones system and install an app that uses notifications and test. Then another and so on to see if you can pinpoint the cause.

Heh. You must have been using it pretty heavily. I bet you can squeeze more out of it with some tweaking. I usually get around 30 per charge under normal usage, but I have everything tweaked pretty heavily. Have 60% left after 12 hours right now. :)

You can delete the ones outside of the setup subfolder. I forgot to put that in the installer cleanup. I'll put it in 1.0.1. ;)
