Cool, I'll check this out. ...what is APW?

EDIT: I copied htcfacebook.apk and friendstream.apk to system\apps and while they tried to launch, neither would actually sign in or sync. What else did you do?
[EVO 4G Android Development] grayn0de:
It may require HtcStreamPlayer.apk, as well, which is needed for FriendStream. I'm not 100% on the requirements of the sync functionality. Also make sure that the permissions are set properly on the apk files that are copied into /system/app/. You can do a chmod from a terminal emulator or adb shell.

Example:

chmod 0644 /system/app/HtcStreamPlayer.apk

EDIT: I'll play around with it and see about re-enabling it in version 0.0.2.
[EVO 4G Android Development] KoKoMaster:
i thought streamplayer was just for online streaming. im no expert at all this but you may be right about the permissions. i still have streamplayer included in my rom as well. if you would like to take a look at my bare bones senseless to see what ive included, i dont mind. id like to post it anyway for every one else but i dont really know how to even start and go about doing that...especially with hosting it online. i can link you in dropbox though.

Smooth rom

Love this rom, very responsive and smooth. Thanks for all your hard work.
[EVO 4G Android Development] grayn0de:
I know that streamplayer is needed for friendstream, but I'm not sure to what extent it is needed for other social networking bits. As far as I've tested, just having friendstream and Facebook for HTC is not enough to have sync work properly. Still doing more testing for some optional update.zip files, though.

Version 0.0.2 (minor update release) is up!

Thanks for the great ROM gonna check out v0.0.2.
[EVO 4G Android Development] NxNW:
Seems like one of the more intelligently planned ROMs out there - glad to see you're still improving it!
[EVO 4G Android Development] grayn0de:
Thank you all for the support! If you guys have any specific requests, please post them in this thread and I will try to incorporate them into the next version or an addon zip.

Version 0.0.3 is going to be a much more noticable update, so it will take me a while. I wantto hear what you all would like to swe in a ROM like this. :)

Thanks. I use this ROM as my daily driver, so I plan to improve it until I am 100% satisfied with it (which will probably never happen). ;)
[EVO 4G Android Development] tvaughn:
Nice ROM grayn0de. I like that you cut out the bloat. I mean really cut out the bloat. I tried using several different AOSP ROMs because of their simplicity - I didn't want much at all on my device that I hadn't hand picked, but I had trouble with calls dropping so after a few back and forth attempts over the months I finally gave up and went back to Sense. Sense just seems to function better for me. I like the lock screen on this and also that you used the simple quick settings instead of the extended. I feel that the extended is redundant because I can long press the home button if I want recent apps, but that's just me. Anyway if I change my mind I can flash either one so it doesn't really make any difference. Go Launcher seems nice, but I uninstalled it and went with ADWLauncher EX because that's what I'm familiar with and like (I may revisit this decision as it seems Go Launcher has tons of themes.) The only thing I would like to see changed is to get rid of the ugly GPS off icon. Other than that, great job!
[EVO 4G Android Development] bytes2bits:
I've had this happen to me on various different roms and I found it was related to my router, specifically Belkin routers. If you go into your router and change the dhcp lease time to something other than Forever (such as 2 weeks) I think you'll find your problem will be gone. I couldn't believe it myself until I tried it... flawless ever since. It's worth a try. I think you'll be amazed.
[EVO 4G Android Development] grayn0de:
I've removed this in version 0.0.3 (coming soon!), as well as implemented a couple other mods to provide for a cleaner statusbar. :)

RC2 Release

Version 0.0.4 RC2 is up!

Check the OP. There are new installation instructions. Don't forget to take a look at the changelog if you are curious as to what changed.

I really wanted to include the 'Alter Setup' option that I've been working on (formerly described as 'Modify Install'), but even after a full rewrite of 800 lines of code it still does not want to function properly. I wanted to give you guys a release, since I know it is overdue and people have been waiting, so I've blocked the feature in RC2. For now, a Clean Install will do much the same as the Alter Setup, but you'll lose app data (but not the apps themselves, if choosing the Backup/Restore option), since it will format /system and /data.

Thank you all for being so patient on this one! As always, post bugs/requests/etc here and I'll handle everything as soon as I can.

The final release of 0.0.4 is coming next and, if I feel it is worthy, it will become version 1.0.0, proper. This one is going to take a lot of time, as there is a LOT left that I want to do and need to learn to have AlterROM to the point that I am willing to give it 1.0 release status.

Just a small bug, nothing major, can't add account through gmail. It just force close when click add account. Tried uninstall, reinstall, wipe cache, fix permission. No go.

workaround, just go menu> setting> account & sync>add account
[EVO 4G Android Development] grayn0de:
This is a by-product of me removing Gmail from the base install. After installing Gmail from the Play Store: go to Settings -> Account & Sync -> tap Google account -> check Sync Gmail

I think that may be more an issue with the Gmail app not finding the account and automatically setting it to sync. Play Music does this properly.

Just downloaded and installed this rom and I have to say this thing is really smooth. Keep up the awesome work!

[EVO 4G Android Development] NxNW:
Stay with it for a week or two - it doesn't bog down like some other ROMs. Hardcore flashaholics may not ever stay with one ROM long enough to care about this, but some ROMs degrade seriously over time. That has never been the case with this ROM.

RC2 working great. I suppose I miss the coolness of the dark semi trans notification background, but the usability is higher with the white, which is what most people asked for, myself included.

Trying a new kernel (ca1ne classic) this time. So far so good..

(My Bluetooth issue went away too fwiw)

Readahead *still* says 128 for some reason, but my (new style) Quadrant score is almost 1000 so I'm not complaining.
[EVO 4G Android Development] d0g:
What is the difference between extended and standard quick settings?

Can I remove recent apps from status bar?

Thanks!
[EVO 4G Android Development] grayn0de:
The semi-trans black version was definitely sexier, IMO, but yes white is more compatible with third-party apps.

I reflashed after uploading last night and noticed this as well, despite it changing the first few times I tested. Not sure what change I made between then that broke it, but I'll investigate.
[EVO 4G Android Development] grayn0de:
Standard QS = Ca1ne's Quick Settings (No Volume controls or Task Manager)

Extended QS = TommyT's Quick Settings, but with the Clear button in the stock location.

There are no recent apps in the notification bar. I found it to be too redundant (to long-press Home) and took up more space than I liked, so I never added that feature.
[EVO 4G Android Development] d0g:
Great, thanks!

Sorry, one more question: Does this have the Sense Dialer?
[EVO 4G Android Development] pmacevad:
Yes.

Sometimes I'll be using 4G and I look down at my phone and discover not only is it using 3G but 4G has simply turned itself off. This may not be related to this ROM- I saw it mentioned over in Tommy's thread recently, for instance. Anyone experience this and/or know of a way to prevent it?
[EVO 4G Android Development] volk9029:
I personally think that it is sprint working on towers. I work and Manhattan and experience the same problem with 4G as you describe. Go home to Brooklyn and 4g is fine. I had excellent 4G a few weeks ago by where I work.

Sent from my lair.
[EVO 4G Android Development] d0g:
Um ... so I flashed the ROM ... didn't wipe anything, as per instructions ... was unplugged ...

I chose to backup my apps, and install Go launcher.

Upon reboot, I got lockscreen. Unlocked, and got the "Setup" routine, as if non of my data was preserved. (Location services, add account, etc.) Then the Setup app force-closed.

Now I have a blank screen with status bar. No home app, nothing happens when I press home, no way to launch anything!

What did I do wrong?!

PS: I was able to call myself, FWIW...
[EVO 4G Android Development] NxNW:
Um, maybe I didn't explain my issue clearly:

Step 1: under settings..wireless & networks..4G I place a check mark

Step 2: I use data.

Step 3 under settings..wireless & networks..4G the check mark is mysteriously gone.

This is not the same as losing a 4G connection. I get no error message of any kind.

So unless Sprint can reach into my phone and change my settings (which actually is not so crazy but probably not happening here) I think the problem is with my phone not the network.
[EVO 4G Android Development] d0g:
I rebooted, now it's stuck on the bootscreen. It DOES turn on/off, but all I see is animated bootscreen.
[EVO 4G Android Development] NxNW:
Well, you could re flash I suppose? Did you nandroid before you started? You could nandroid back and start all over..
[EVO 4G Android Development] volk9029:
That is strange. Did you use any kind of battery saving app?

Sent from my lair.
[EVO 4G Android Development] NxNW:
Not that I'm aware of, although these days everybody's got so many tweaks baked into their roms and kernels I wouldn't be shocked to learn somebody out there thought this should be a feature. Note it happened both on v003 and RC1 with "lionfish" and RC2 with "classic" . And possibly Tommy's classic ROM. And I seem to remember it on other ROMs also.

In fact (and this is based on zero hard evidence) I have always suspected this is related to quick settings mods.

I wonder if I could get a logcat somehow? It's hard to "catch it in the act"...
[EVO 4G Android Development] volk9029:
Download the app called android system info. If you notice that happened, go in the log. Scroll up, you might be able to find what is the cause.

[EVO 4G Android Development] jrny99:
I used the first one, I believe classic stock*
[EVO 4G Android Development] d0g:
I wiped everything, then flashed again, and it's working.

Is there a way to make the notification area NON-translucent? (I.e., opaque)
[EVO 4G Android Development] pmacevad:
Will you be including any other mods in your rom? Particularly I would like to see swipe to clear notifications and 7 in 1 volume mod in quick settings.

Wanted to say this rom has been perfect for me so far. I have been running it all day without a glitch. I am using underworld v5 sbc. It underclocks all the way down to 128mhz and does not lag at all with the screen off (with music playing) or coming out of sleep. I also am able to undervolt to at least -75ma from the stock voltages of the kernel. I believe everything works together on this thing in harmony. Thanks for a great stable rom. Looking forward to your updates/rls. :D

Sent from my ever-changing Evo.
[EVO 4G Android Development] grayn0de:
Did you come from a different ROM? If so, which one? I'll test and see what caveats there are to my statement of "no wipes needed". That feature has been around for so long (to me, at least) that I've only tested flashing from version to version recently.

Did this ever happen when using the optimized stock kernel?

I do not have a version of Ext. QS with Recent Apps (and no plans of making one). Gruesomewolf's Extended Quick Settings has Recent Apps, but is not semi-transparent or battery bar compatible (IIRC): http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=21728138&postcount=5

If you are not using the battery bar, then the easiest way would be to flash the original SystemUI mod that I changed. Just be aware that the GPS icon will likely return.

Original Extended Quick Settings is here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1443998

I'll have to do some more digging for the original QS mod from ca1ne that I used. It may actually have been an older 4.54 mod that was tweaked to work in 4.67.

I plan on implementing swipe to clear, but it will take some time. The 7-1 volume mod is already implemented in Extended Quick Settings.
[EVO 4G Android Development] qbanways:
Sup guys. I have the ROM on my girl's evo and it's running pretty smooth. We haven't flashed the new update because we don't want to loose are setup. She has installed all these GO themes and has her phone setup the way she likes it. How can we keep it if we have to wipe everything? Is there a way around it?
[EVO 4G Android Development] souleman:
Go themes are saved to the SD Card. Also, in go launcher (and mms and contacts and all go products), there is a backup and restore option. Backup your current setup, then install update, then restore from previous setup. You will have to put the widgets back (android "limitation") but everything else should be as it was.
[EVO 4G Android Development] grayn0de:
If she's on RC1, then you SHOULD be able to do an Upgrade install. There are a few variables and caveats to be aware of, however...

First, there MUST be an AlterROM folder on the root of the SD card. Second, the installer will wipe everything for you, but should backup your apps (not their data) and restore them as part of the upgrade. If she is using apps2sd then this is done automatically, if not the /data/app folder should be preserved. It's been a while since I tested this, though, since I went back to apps2sd after I was sure it worked. If she's not running apps2sd and it fails to save the apps, let me know so that I can fix the installer. Lastly, continuing from the second stipulation, she'll lose the app data. You can get around this by backing up and restoring the app data with Titanium Backup or something similar. Just note that this may not work for restoring GO Launcher's setup, since I've put the latest version in RC2, so the data is different. Should work for all market installed apps, though.

As with anytime you flash something,

make sure you get a nandroid backup

, so you can just revert back to how it was if anything goes awry.
[EVO 4G Android Development] biga1:
yes, you can backup apps with TB and you can backup your Go Launcher settings in preferences. First restore your all your apps and then restore your Go Launcher settings.
[EVO 4G Android Development] PookiePrancer:
I have to say, I'm sort of lost on the whole "upgrade" thing with Aroma. I had the AlterROM folder, so I chose that. Only thing I still see from RC1 is my wallpaper. No apps, no homescreen settings. I'm just going to do a fresh install again, because I don't know what, exactly, the upgrade option is doing. And as it is, it looks like I have to do most everything I would on a fresh install anyway.

Sweet update to a sweet rom though!

http://www.goodandevo.net/2012/05/a...-allows-you-to-choose-your-own-adventure.html
[EVO 4G Android Development] grayn0de:
All the upgrade install is supposed to do is install the ROM using your previous mod choices and backup/restore your apps. Think of it as a personally preconfigured Clean Install. As for the apps: None of them were retained? Are you using apps2sd (sd-ext partition)? I'll track this down and have a fix posted asap.

Use the latest one, here.

Awesome! :D
[EVO 4G Android Development] tryanDLS:
Didn't read thru this entire thread, so apologize if this was already covered.

From the 1st post, am I understanding that this ROM can be installed when coming from another ROM without doing a factory wipe and that configuration stuff is retained? Like email accounts?

Or I am just reading too much into that?
[EVO 4G Android Development] grayn0de:
It should do all the wipes needed to install clean when coming from any ROM, but YMMV (let me know if that is not the case). It should backup your apps, not the data or configurations. I emphasize "should" because it seems that might not always be the case, at the moment. I'm currently working on this..

As a safety precaution, backup your apps and do a nandriod, in case something goes wrong.
[EVO 4G Android Development] NxNW:
No.

You will have to reconfigure email accounts etc.

For more details of course the post above this one is authoritative, but I thought I'd just make it crystal clear you need to be ready to reconfigure certain things.

I'm not aware of any ROM that preserves (non-Google) email account configurations?
[EVO 4G Android Development] grayn0de:
I've confirmed that the installer does not backup user apps properly when not using apps2sd/ext and am working on the fix. Is there anyone who experienced this issue with an ext partitioned sd card, running apps2sd?
[EVO 4G Android Development] pmacevad:
This one mods the system.ui (I believe) and all the status bar/notification bar mods are removed from your Rom. Plus, for some reason when I flashed that mod my 4G came on after every reboot whether or not it was turned on by user. Ended up having to reflash the Rom even after trying a nandroid to fix this. I just want to request full extended quick settings be added in a future update. Other then that this Rom has become my new fav, solid work and looking forward to what you put out next. :thumbup:

It's fixed now since I reflashed the Rom. Also, on a side note, for some reason my play store also kept giving me an error message that purchase could not be verified or something like that after flashing that mod with this Rom. Don't know if the 2 are connected or not. Issue since resolved though with a fresh flash. :)

The app "SD speed increase" does set the readahead value to 1024 and keeps it there. I once used this app on another ROM that refused to honor changes to this value in /etc/init.d scripts. I have always wondered how the app works? What is the trick?
[EVO 4G Android Development] NxNW:
What is this app ("Bluetooth Share") ? Is it related to the "App Share" app I sometimes see in stock Sprint OTA ROMs?

I uninstalled it with Titanium and bluetooth call control seems to be working fine without it.

(At least not worse- the 4.67 OTA seemed to introduce an issue with losing the ability to go from the bluetooth headset back to the phone mic/earpiece back to the headset and so on in the middle of a call. All you can do is go to speakerphone and then you've basically lost access to your bluetooth headset at that point. But again, it doesn't appear to be specific to this ROM)

This is a feature-not-a-bug: while in a call on a Bluetooth headset, if you press the "menu" capacitive button, you will see a new pop-up item that exposes all the Bluetooth control you need.
