nice rom. my only issue if the transparency of the drop down notifications bar.
[EVO 4G Android Development] theblindazn2316:
Noob question:

How do I use the screenshot feature? I seem to have been doing it by accident and have no idea how I actually activated it. I know it is probably simple, but I just can't figure it out.

thanks in advance,

FYI

The first time installing the rom I had continuous bootloops with classic kernel. Switched to Underworld .06 & everything is fine.
[EVO 4G Android Development] gsx1000r02:
OK so this is a sense rom without the look of sense? Right or am I wrong?
[EVO 4G Android Development] NxNW:
Right.

Just wanted to post how well this rom goes into deep sleep. Very little usage but awesome battery life while still having wifi and background data on.

[EVO 4G Android Development] grayn0de:
My apologies, everyone, for being a bit MIA in the forums, but I've been attempting to recreate the issues noted in 1.0.1. Working on fixes for those I could confirm. Here's the breakdown:

Camera (poor image quality): Confirmed

World Clock (unable to add city): Confirmed

Classic Kernel (bootloops): Unable to reproduce. Kernel flashed and works fine for me (fresh install).

EQS Media Slider: Unconfirmed. I verified that it works on a fresh install by going into Settings>Sound>Volume, sliding the EQS media volume, verifying movement in Settings, sliding settings volume slider and checking EQS. It all seems to work for me. One thing to not that the initial Media Vol slider in EQS is to the left, since it has not yet read the values. Remedy is to cycle through the sliders once prior to testing.

AlterROM folder on /sdcard (missing): Unable to reproduce. The only time I have seen this happen is when the installer fails to complete for whatever reason. If the installer never makes it to the Reboot/Finished screen and dumps you back into recovery, you will need to reflash (no wipe, just choose the same options). I've never been able to pinpoint why this happens, but if the installer crashes during cleanup, the AlterRom folder will never be created as that is a function of my cleanup script.

Please refer to the 'Reporting Bugs' section in post #1 of this thread and grab a last_kmsg after a random reboot and a logcat after the sd unmount, then PM them to me. If you are utilizing apps2sd/dalvik2sd (you have a ext3 partitioned sdcard), then you are likely looking at a bad sdcard. Do you have another known good sdcard with which you can do some tests?

just wanted to say v1.01 works great on my phone with 2 minor issues ?

rom has underworld .06 baked in yet newest version is 0.07 ? not that it matters anyway since im getting great battery life and phone charges fast even through computer usb port. it used to take twice amount of time to charge.

2nd thing, i cant get battery status to show on top of the screen even though in battery bar settings, i have it show battery bar checked. so i ended up dl another widget to compensate that.

other than above 2, im not missing anything else. as far as camera pic goes, i take my pic with 1mb settings, quality is good enough for me

cheers,
[EVO 4G Android Development] grayn0de:
I will update the kernels in the next version, but it will be for fresh installs only. The key concept of a dynamic or rolling setup is to allow individual apps and components to be updated as needed without requiring a full wipe/flash. Apps can be updated from the market and kernels can be upgraded from their OP without me having to release an update each time a new version is out. Too much work to do that.

On the battery bar settings: Try toggling the enable checkbox of then on again and rotate the screen landscape and back to portrait. Don't ask me why, but it seems to work for me, sometimes.

The camera quality is most likely something I tweaked in the build.prop, so it should be an easy enough fix, either way.
[EVO 4G Android Development] oohoy:
i checked and unchecked and rechecked the show battery bar box and rotated the phone 360 degree and still no sign of it, lol... i also messed with the height setting from 1 to 5 and no luck. its no biggi, i just installed another widget for it
[EVO 4G Android Development] jdmsohc22:
so my mobile network and 3g/4g keep turning off randomly... Does anyone know of a fix for this or experiencing this issue as well..?? i'm on 1.0.0 version of the ROM also..
[EVO 4G Android Development] Robobob1221:
Once you've checked the box and adjusted the settings try plugging in your charger. This works for me. It seems to need a battery data reset or something to get it showing.
[EVO 4G Android Development] oohoy:
think i finally figured out where the battery bar went....its a line sitting between status bar and wallpaper all these time. i didnt even realize this till my battery went down below 30% and that color of that line changed from green to yellow and thats when it hit me. i always though battery bar widget u used is suppose to be da lil battery icon that sits in the status bar, lol

i saw that line sittin there all these time, just figured its a glitch or something.

is it possible to bake in a battery icon with a % in the status bar in the next release ? lol
[EVO 4G Android Development] MBQ_:
It was an option in AROMA to have the battery bar or stock battery.
[EVO 4G Android Development] oohoy:
ooo ok... never knew what battery bar was....figured it must be better than stock battery... i guess its just a bar... lol....
[EVO 4G Android Development] MBQ_:
Yeah.

Next time, read everything!!!!!

:)
[EVO 4G Android Development] tvaughn:
After doing some testing I may have come up with the source of not being able to add cities in World Clock. It appears that one needs to also install Weather along with World Clock during the Aroma installation (or possibly by adding it later through the "add software" method in Aroma). Then after reboot, give the phone time to determine your location.

Can someone confirm?
[EVO 4G Android Development] jdmsohc22:
Are there any battery mods that we can do for this ROM..?? Like fuel gauge or circle mod..??
[EVO 4G Android Development] volk9029:
Uot kitchen is good start.

http://uot.dakra.lt/
[EVO 4G Android Development] grayn0de:
CONFIRMED!

You, my friend, are awesome! TBH, I've been scratching my head at that issue and chasing my tail for days.

EDIT: The Add City functionality of WorldClock.apk depends on the presence of WeatherProvider.apk, which is indeed a part of the Weather option in AROMA. Adding Weather through Add/Remove in AROMA will fix the issue (but all that is really needed is WeatherProvider.apk).
[EVO 4G Android Development] tvaughn:
Glad to hear it worked for you also grayn0de. The least I could do for you getting me "hooked" on Go Launcher EX :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] Jaymoon:
I must say, this ROM has excellent standby performance. At first I thought it was a bug that my battery had only gone down 1% overnight. :p

I will also add that I'm using my Evo 4G as a wifi-only device (mainly for games for my nieces). So not only is 3G not connected, but also my stock battery is shot, so it is an extended 3500mAh battery powering the device.

Still! Excellent performance if I do say so, and love the AROMA options on the install! (This was my first ROM with AROMA, and I was totally not expecting it :good: )
[EVO 4G Android Development] Robobob1221:
What kernel did you select?

[EVO 4G Android Development] nanstedt:
I really like this ROM. Great work. I've tried a number of ROMs and I think I might be staying a while. I was stuck on decks for the longest time but got the flash itch and found greynode. No more flash itch. Thanks grey.

While we are waiting on LTE to hit the streets does anyone know how to boost 3g speeds?
[EVO 4G Android Development] MBQ_:
Use the 3G turbocharger made by Zeppelin_rox
[EVO 4G Android Development] grayn0de:
ALL: I'm currently loaning my OG Evo to someone as they await a replacement, so I've not been able to get a full-fledged release tested and uploaded. I have, however, put together a small update patch that should fix the issues with World Clock and makes an attempt at fixing the camera quality. As soon as I get my device back, I'll continue to work on the MMS compression issue mentioned prior, but I wanted to get something out. Post #2 has been updated with download link and md5 sum.

Also, it looks like I will not need to get rid of my OG anytime soon, so I'll continue to work/play with it until I'm no longer able to. :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] jdmsohc22:
i'm having that issue again, where my Mobile Network will disappear and lose all connections.. On Quick Settings, Mobile Network will say "connecting" and just stay there for a few minutes..?? I've updated profiles and all that, still same thing..
[EVO 4G Android Development] NxNW:
I went back many pages and for the life of me I can't tell exactly what the "confirmed" issue with "camera quality" was?

Glad to see there's a hot fix anyway...
[EVO 4G Android Development] MBQ_:
Apparently some people were talking of the quality of the cameras pictures weren't up to par.
[EVO 4G Android Development] NxNW:
Ok.

Anything more specific?
[EVO 4G Android Development] grayn0de:
Just tthat the camera was nit seeming to take 8MP pictures. My camera lens has a scratch across it, so I cannot tell much difference. I think the main thing is the compression done by MMS when attaching a picture. I have to wait until I get my OG back from my nephew, though, before I can disable the MMS compression. Hopefully the past update bumps the quality a bit... Hard for me to tell, at the moment (especially after using the EVO LTE camera, LOL).
[EVO 4G Android Development] NxNW:
Camera seemed to work fine before and after for me at least. In fact, I never had the world clock problem either? Oh well. I flashed the fix anyway.

Oh, and bump: let's not let this ROM fall off the map completely. People looking for a very stable Sense 1.0 ROM can't do much better than this one.
[EVO 4G Android Development] MBQ_:
I 100% agree with you.
[EVO 4G Android Development] tvaughn:
World clock issue is only noticeable if you don't add the Weather apk during the AROMA install.
[EVO 4G Android Development] SLB9884:
Noob question : Whats the difference between each download in the op? Only thing I noticed is that the 3rd one is smaller...thanks
[EVO 4G Android Development] SLB9884:
Anyone?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Robobob1221:
first two are different versions I think 1.0 and 1.0.1

the third is a patch update, perhaps fixes?
[EVO 4G Android Development] SLB9884:
Thats what I was thinking. First 2 are well over 200mb and the 3rd is little over 150....which is what I like. Thanks!
[EVO 4G Android Development] SLB9884:
I finally found something that works for me when this happens. Go to menu, applications, manage applications, all, and click on google framework, clear it, clear google play store too and either boot first then try to download an app or just go straight to the play store. I spent hours reading forums and such to get a fix for that.

Like Robobob1221 said, v1.0.2p is a PATCH ONLY. It is a small 175Kb file and not a full ROM. You would need to flash v1.0.1 first, and then flash the patch.

Are there any settings for Sony xLoud ?? I had read that there is a eq. I cant seem to find any settings anywhere.

Thanks
[EVO 4G Android Development] grayn0de:
I've never seen an equalizer specifically for xLoud, before. I usually just use one from the market. That being said, if anyone knows of one, please link it and I'll update the ROM with it.

ALL: I have my OG back now, but there is a new addition to the family, so things are pretty hectic. I'm still around and working on various things, but not nearly as actively as I was. Once things settle down at home, I'll be back in full force. ;)

Battery Life with Underworld VS Classic

On my first flash I chose the Classic kernel. Battery life was bad. Drained with the phone off.

I reflashed and chose Underworld kernel. Standby battery life is great. I didn't touch my phone for 8 hours and the battery only went done 1%. I will say that if I am using the phone, battery life is not so good. I made a 40 min phone call and I lost 40%. That might be a combination of older battery and just that the EVO doesn't have a good battery life even on stock rom.

How is everybody else "screen on" battery life and under what kernal?

Just curious.

ROM is great.

---------- Post added at 01:14 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:11 AM ----------

Congrads on your new family member!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[EVO 4G Android Development] grayn0de:
Update the kernel to the latest version for best results. The kernels included in the last version of AlterROM Redux are depricated. Also, make sure to allow time for the kernel to settle. Try changing the governor and/or IO scheduler for the kernel. No combination of kernel/governor/scheduler will work the same for every device, due to varying hardware versions and some other things that are beyond my understanding. You just have to play with it and find the combination that works best for you.

If you are having the same issues across multiple kernels and configurations, grab some logs and I will see if I can find what is causing the drains.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jazzbass12:
Sorry to be a pain...where do I find latest kernel and is SetCpu ok for changing governor?

Thanks
[EVO 4G Android Development] grayn0de:
Check the Dev section for the kernel threads (usually makred with [KERNEL]) and download the flashable zips from there. TBH, I've not used SetCPU in years, but if not the free version of ROM Toolbox will do what you need. There are other apps to do it, as well, but I am only really familiar with that one.
[EVO 4G Android Development] NxNW:
Just noticed the part about the baby. Many congratulations.

Still flashing back to my nandroid of this ROM whenever I need things to be fast, polished and stable...
[EVO 4G Android Development] coolstone:
> Apps2SD & Dalvik2SD enabled

Question to grayn0de:

1. Is Apps2SD & Dalvik2SD function the same as DT-A2SD?

I found that it is just like moving apps to SD card as the original system function does. There is no Ext2 or ext 3 partition that we can install many apps.

2. What does Wifi-n support? It can receive further wifi? Or it can give out wireless-n signal?

Thanks for your explanation!

Simon
[EVO 4G Android Development] grayn0de:
It is exactly DT-A2SD. If the SD card is partitioned with EXT2/3, then it will move apps and dalvik-cache to that partition. Otherwise, it functions as stock Android.

It allows you to connect to wireless-N access points, which is not a default capability of the device. I believe it still creates wireless-G networks, when using wifi tether, etc.
[EVO 4G Android Development] coolstone:
Grayn0de,

Thanks for your reply!

After your answer, I reboot my EVO to recovery and partition my SD card (32GB) and made 2GB Ext2/3 space by clockwordmed. Then I reboot to system and found my SD card is only 28GB now, moved my apps to SD card. But I found the moved apps are still in FAT partition, not in the EXT2/3 partition.

Should I re-install this ROM after I partitioned the SD card that the system recognize the EXT2/3 partition?

Thanks for your help! This ROM rocks! Very few Rom has working 4G!

Stone
[EVO 4G Android Development] grayn0de:
Yes. The dta2sd scripts run on first boot to create the proper symlinks, so you'll need to wipe and reinstall to get it set up completely. After the reinstall, you do not need to manually move the apps to sd. It will be done automatically.
[EVO 4G Android Development] coolstone:
Thanks a lot!

One more question, what size of Ext 2/3 space is more stable? 1 Gb or 2 Gb, or it doesn't mater?

Thanks!!!
[EVO 4G Android Development] Soap:
1Gb is the most stable.
[EVO 4G Android Development] coolstone:
Cool! Thanks for the quick reply!

I love this forum!!!
[EVO 4G Android Development] coolstone:
Grayn0de,

I followed your instruction, partitioned the SD Card to 1024Mb, 0mb Swap, then re-installed the 1.01 and 1.02. But when I installed some apps, I found that it didn't automatically move to Ext2/3. And when I tried to move some apps to SD card, it will move to Ext2/3. I checked the Disk Drive mode, there is no apps in .android_secure folder.

So it works now!

So thanks everyone!!

PS. I suddenly found that the international input was removed in the language & input part. I tried many Chinese input, but not a good one so far. Thanks!

Stone
[EVO 4G Android Development] coolstone:
Grayn0de,

After I found the Kernel drained my battery quickly, I decided to test which kernel is better to have longer battery life. I reinstalled the ROM, V1.01 first, then flashed V1.02. But for 3 times, the screen didn't go to the page to reboot. And 4 times it went to that page. And sometimes the apps always were forced closed...too ...

But the battery life is not good. So I go back to classic kernel.

Now the problem is:

After I rebooted to the system, and moved the apps to SD, the apps are still in SD card Fat partition, not in Ext partition.

Could you help me find some reasons?

Thanks!
[EVO 4G Android Development] grayn0de:
Sorry for the lack of reply, coolstone, family life has had me in a bit of a strangle hold. Are you still having problems? Feel free to PM me, directly. Everything in this ROM, as is, is deprecated and should be upgraded manually to the latest version, especially kernels.
[EVO 4G Android Development] coolstone:
Totally understand it!! It's important!!

I will pm you.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mcwups1:
+100

Very nice indeed.

Thank you. Thanks button hit.

I'm super impressed with this Rom, and I recommend it to anyone.

Everything has worked well. Since I had some TB saves of my Wi-Fi config from other 4.67 builds, I just restored Data, and it worked flawlessly.

I love this Rom....I now have a new favorite! Thanks again grayn0de, this is excellent!
[EVO 4G Android Development] grayn0de:
It already is. It is just up to the developers to implement in their ROMs, though. Links to the Aroma Installer are in the OP. Very awesome project. :)

other than that its good

---------- Post added at 03:21 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:17 AM ----------

i just flashed another kernel (anthrax) but mounted system and data prior to flashing and it fixed the wifi error

(not sure if both are needed to be mounted but i know one does)
[EVO 4G Android Development] bard77:
When I tried to turn on WiFi from the settings it said "Error". That's it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] NxNW:
^

^

This

Depending on the combination of ROM and kernel, a lot of WiFi issues arise from flashing a kernel without /data being mounted first (in the same recovery session as the kernel flash of course).
[EVO 4G Android Development] wi11ie:
Case of the dumbass.. Never mind...lol!
[EVO 4G Android Development] grayn0de:
FFC? Could you elabaorate, please?

Rewriting the way the kernels are flashed through AROMA, now. I should have an update ready tonight.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Notorious:
FFC is short for front facing camera. The reason the FFC is upside down is because your using a kernel based on the last OTA there is nothing wrong with the FFC its the kernel your using. Have to wait for HTC to release the new kernel source code or just use the stock kernel. Only happens on roms based on the 4.67 OTA.

didn't feel like rewriting this after I thought about it so I just included it in this post lol
[EVO 4G Android Development] greengiant1969:
This rom is working good so far. I'm using sbc kernel with no problems with WiFi at my house.
[EVO 4G Android Development] grayn0de:
The flipped front-facing camera, as well as the WiFi error issue are reproducible and issues with the custom kernels. The stock kernel included is unaffected by either issue (or at least I have not been able to reproduce them in the few flashes I've done.

I'm going to pull the custom kernel options from AROMA, for the time being, until I can vet them further to make sure neither of the above issues are the result of the flashing method I'm utilizing.

I'll have the update uploaded within an hour from the time of this post.
[EVO 4G Android Development] NxNW:
Ok just flashed whatever version was live an hour ago (I see updates are imminent).

Loved the Aroma touchscreen recovery session, by the way. I imagine we will all be seeing a lot more ROMs getting packaged up this way going forward. Way to pick up on a good trend.

Took all the defaults. WiFi worked fine.

Really liking the whole package so far. Taking a little while to get used to Go Launcher. I think I played with it once like a year ago. Could be fun to give it another look.

Great job overall - thanks again!
[EVO 4G Android Development] grayn0de:
version 0.0.3-update1 released

I've uploaded version 0.0.3-update1, which removes the options to install custom kernels through AROMA. There were simply to many bugs and variables that were out of my control to fix, at this time.

The OP has been updated to reflect all changes.
