I noticed the graphics errors

Smartass with a Dumb phone.
[HTC EVO 3D] w0rdOo:
I'm downloading the 6:22 release from today now..I'll report back about usb mount from bootmanager and recovery (though I didn't think usb mount via recovery was ROM related?). Anyway, I'll test soon and report back.
[HTC EVO 3D] twistedumbrella:
I'd wait. No wifi in that one. Another is running right now.
[HTC EVO 3D] w0rdOo:
Glad I read this before flashing. thanks.
[HTC EVO 3D] Zeman4323:
Downloading 12:37 now, anything specific you need tested?

Really appreciate all the work!
[HTC EVO 3D] twistedumbrella:
Not sure if that is the fixed wireless or not. Swore I stopped it in progress. Either way if wireless doesn't work, there is no need to worry another build was already started with some video updates and more wireless changes. Aiming to get better reliability and more accurate readings.
[HTC EVO 3D] Zeman4323:
Yea, no go on wifi here.

I will checkout the next build when its up.
[HTC EVO 3D] OgremustCrush:
Same result. Any idea what's causing boot manager to fc on this rom, it lists compatibility for gnex, so I would assume it has some ics support. Have to go to recovery to get back to my normal rom, no big deal, just an extra step. Tried turning compatibility mode off and disabling logging on su.
[HTC EVO 3D] w0rdOo:
Did you install playground as a zip in boot manager, or did you restore a nandroid to install it? I haven't been able to get superuser access in most apps including boot manager on any ICS ROMs I've tried unless I set the ROM up on the phoneROM slot, then backup and restore the nandroid via bootmanager
[HTC EVO 3D] twistedumbrella:
Corrupted images. Delete the slot and install fresh. Sometimes even just installing with a wipe first fixes it but it happens every handful of flashes.

I'm going to go be useless for a while. I want to try to port some missing functionality, since everyone else is handling customization we can come back for that stuff later. I just hope I can get it all to play nice and actually get somewhere.

Relevance: stack up bug reports because the next release (after today's) won't be for a couple days and they will be addressed then.
[HTC EVO 3D] w0rdOo:
Good to know. By installing a wipe first, do you mean using boot manager to install a superwipe before installing a ROM? or am I misunderstanding you?
[HTC EVO 3D] twistedumbrella:
I mean either menu and delete slot or just checking wipe data when you install.
[HTC EVO 3D] OgremustCrush:
Suppose I should have mentioned that. This was both on a fresh slot and had everything wiped. I don't know if any other apps had root issues, no wifi and mobile data also wasn't working for some reason. I'll boot back into it and see if an apk of titanium gets root.

Edit: Yeah, I seem to be able to restore and run a few other root apps successfully, just boot manager having problems.
[HTC EVO 3D] twistedumbrella:
Oh, well with no data (required on first run of boot manager) it will crash until it's started with data active, which was an issue in the last build while testing new drivers.
[HTC EVO 3D] OgremustCrush:
Ah. Well derp on me then lol.
[HTC EVO 3D] LiquidSolstice:
Hm. So is the latest timestamp build brick-free? I finally have free time to give this a shot again.
[HTC EVO 3D] sniperkill:
What do you mean "brick free"? I was just about to flash this puppy. Also, I'm not sure why there id a download link, a timestamp link, and a information link? I'm confused.. :confused:
[HTC EVO 3D] LiquidSolstice:
Timestamp link appears to be like a sort of SVN-style bleeding edge build. However, in its changelog, it says "Wireless No Brick", which kind of scares me :X. I bet I have no idea what I'm talking about, I've only been loosely following the thread.
[HTC EVO 3D] OgremustCrush:
There was a build a few days ago that caused (recoverable) bricks. The listed build under timestamps does not brick. However the wifi and mobile data don't work due to some driver issues, might as well wait till the next build where they work again.
[HTC EVO 3D] LiquidSolstice:
Ahhh. I see. Thanks for clearing that up. I'll still flash anyway, trying to see why it is Caynirab's kernels hate my phone.
[HTC EVO 3D] LiquidSolstice:
Damn. Twisted, I tested the latest experimental build. I made it to the splash screen once (for maybe 5 seconds), splash froze, and now I'm in a bootloop with no ADB access. :(
[HTC EVO 3D] louforgiveno:
Did you use boot manager ?
[HTC EVO 3D] LiquidSolstice:
No. Traditional flash. Boot manager just causes way more headaches than it tries to solve (no offense to devs).
[HTC EVO 3D] twistedumbrella:
Well, the last build I really thought I had the wireless issue sorted out. Everything was in place. Everything was being found. Everything was building. One minor issue though is that regardless how many things I change in the build, if the kernel is looking for bcmhd.bin and I give it bcm4329.bin (even if it is the exact file, just renamed to make it easier to identify which hd it is) it just will not fire up. The pyramid build that seemed to be working from it (as this driver was previously causing issues) had the hd, but being it has been a month or two since even looking in the broadcom hardware folder, i never realized the firmware names had changed. Anywho, it is being updated one more time.
[HTC EVO 3D] ch1naski:
Why do you need adb? Log cat? Can't you battery-pull and get into recovery with power/Vol down?

Smartass with a Dumb phone.
[HTC EVO 3D] LiquidSolstice:
My phone hasn't been able to boot on anything with Cayniarb's kernel in it. What I meant was I can't even get adb access to get a logcat and find out why I'm bootlooping. :(
[HTC EVO 3D] ch1naski:
we shall see. If this is the last update for a couple days, I can dig in and help with issues and bug reporting.

Smartass with a Dumb phone.
[HTC EVO 3D] twistedumbrella:
Yeah, I guess saying this isn't the same kernel that every other ROM has didn't work last time and probably won't work again. If you find a version of ICS that can boot, I can adjust the kernel to make it work. Not much to go on currently, though, especially when the kernel I have includes a lot of commits by cayniarb, but it is actually forked from the kernel in toast's source.

To be more specific: it's the unified branch from that kernel with some updates from the tiamat kernel, two pyramid kernels, my 7x30 kernel, and compressed with gzip instead of lzma.
[HTC EVO 3D] thznutz87:
go over to infectedrom and get at chad! his ics kernels boot with this. besides he is the htc kernel god!
[HTC EVO 3D] twistedumbrella:
Well if that is the case, then it would be just as easy for someone to flash one of his kernels over the build. I would be willing to track down the issue and fix it for the current kernel, but I don't intend to dump a custom local kernel and replace it with something I haven't built. Cay's original kernel was amazing, but I was willing to take the hit just to start with something I had a part in re-designing and get it back to where it was. It's all about knowing every part of the build to get it to run well together...

And rule number 1 says: Developers, not gods. We are all people here.

The ETA thing is like a loosely followed rule number 5 personally.

Edit: If LiquidSolstice can verify that kernel works, then I will try to track down what is different in it. If there is source, I should be able to fix it. If not, I can always add a link to find the replacement for people with issues.
[HTC EVO 3D] ch1naski:
procuring source code can be a little weird when it comes to Chad's kernels. No disrespect meant to Chad, because I understand his reasons, some of which are legal issues.

Smartass with a Dumb phone.
[HTC EVO 3D] twistedumbrella:
How do I put this in proper "public forum" terms... I don't pirate movies, games, music, or anything like that. I can, I know how, but it is against my moral code. When it comes to open source, and what SHOULD be open source (*cough* HTC, you bastards, you get 30 days from a kernel release *cough*), my talent is finding things.

While certain developers and/or teams like to say I just kang everything, being able to track down almost anything and modify it to fit into your code without it looking sloppy is actually an art. I am not worried about finding it, just if it needs to be found ;)
[HTC EVO 3D] thznutz87:
didnt say use his kernel, just talk to him. he might have some good advice or ideas to help a fellow dev

ps if you find a better kernel dev let me know and ill retract my statement, but no kernel i have flashed is anywhere near anthrax's speed, reliability, sound quality
[HTC EVO 3D] twistedumbrella:
I guess a better way of saying it would be if it works as is, then it might be better as just a flat out alternative than actually trying to go line by line finding what makes one work and one not.

imoseyon. That was easy... I go from 5 hours to 2 days battery life flashing his without a loss in performance. Is he a better dev? dunno, but my experience is that his kernels have run better for me than others.

I am going to assume you didn't even run the stock kernel that came in this build for more than 20 minutes before flashing a kernel over it. I was the same way. Got it in the back of my head that that was the only kernel I should ever use. It wasn't until it wasn't available for a certain ROM I gave another a chance. In some ways it was better, others it wasn't as good. I just don't claim any one developer as the final answer.
[HTC EVO 3D] ch1naski:
Personally, I think that while testing this ROM it is better to run stock, otherwise tracking down issues can become complicated.

Smartass with a Dumb phone.
[HTC EVO 3D] thznutz87:
well put sir. i do agree with you. no i didnt run stock kernel, since it was super laggy for whatever reason, maybe my phone. who knows
[HTC EVO 3D] LiquidSolstice:
I will certainly give this a shot. I do hope it doesn't give you too much extra work, I don't know how much different Chad's latest AOSP kernel is from Cayniarb's. At absolute worst, if Chad's kernels work for me, I will continue to use his instead.
[HTC EVO 3D] LiquidSolstice:
Twisted, I can confirm my phone boots with Chad's kernel, specifically Anthrax-SHOOTER-ICS-TESTpre15. I do note that Wifi and Data aren't functioning, but I believe you've already made this clear.

I am overjoyed to find out that my phone can boot ICS, though. I wonder what it is that was preventing it though?
[HTC EVO 3D] twistedumbrella:
Standard recovery installation, right? Ill see what I can find out. Also what hboot? Think that should cover stats.
[HTC EVO 3D] LiquidSolstice:
Sorry, forgot to mention that! Standard installation (I never use and never will use Boot Manager), HBOOT 1.40, S-OFF through Revolutionary, and I *think* HW0002. I'm not entirely sure about that last one.

I should also note that Toast's experimental build, linked here: http://www.techerrata.com/file/teamwin/cm_shooter-ota-eng.toastcfh.zip, is pretty much the only ICS build that has ever booted for me. Well, that's not entirely true, the earliest ICS builds we had as well as Evervolv builds before v7 I think.
[HTC EVO 3D] twistedumbrella:
Alright. That should narrow it down quite a bit. Thanks and ill let you know. Guess I can start with the kernel configuration for that build and go from there.
[HTC EVO 3D] LiquidSolstice:
Thank you so much. I realize that for some reason my phone is a special case, and I really, really appreciate you taking the time to figure it out.

Just to confirm, neither data or wifi was working with the last build, right? I just want to make sure it wasn't Chad's kernel that broke either of those two?
[HTC EVO 3D] ch1naski:
Hah! Finally you got it to boot. Awesome, liquid.

Smartass with a Dumb phone.
[HTC EVO 3D] twistedumbrella:
It is not, but with his it may not out of the box. Once I get it running properly I can test that more. I was switching to drivers that were some 4 versions newer but that may not happen anyway. Worst case, you would just have to swap two files for firmware. The names were kept the same for flexibility.

I'm doing the last test tonight so if the new drivers don't work after the next build then it will work fine, otherwise I will have quick instructions and files to make sure it can.
[HTC EVO 3D] ch1naski:
Looking forward to this next build, twisted. This ics is most functional of all that I have tried, at least on my hardware. None of the others out there have been stable enough for more than just playing around with.

[HTC EVO 3D] sheep_duck:
Hnnggggg can't wait for camera to work, and i can finally run a new daily driver. looking good twisted :)

[HTC EVO 3D] tatnai:
disclaimer: running on bootmanager

latest build (today, 11:55) data and wifi not working despite whatever you did. runs fast and nice though, this is a great ICS version. would be happy to replace the drivers to see if this is a bootmanager problem if you are willing to send them to me (comfortable with adb, etc).
[HTC EVO 3D] twistedumbrella:
Rebuilding now with drivers and firmware reverted to bcm4329. Hd is a bust for this non-3.0 kernel. Well, still trying the firmware to test backward compatibility, but gave up on the interface.

Pushing files to fix it right now would be a kernel, a module, two firmware files, frameworks, and a few binaries. The only reason a swap would work on Chad's kernel was the test before this wasn't as drastic of a change, but I had to know if it could work.
[HTC EVO 3D] tatnai:
flashed chad's kernel pre15 over 3/25 11:55 build (again in bootmanager, though) and data/wifi was still not working.
[HTC EVO 3D] twistedumbrella:
I know...
[HTC EVO 3D] tatnai:
FYI flashed latest 3/25 14:17 to PHONE rom (not bootmanager), full wipe, data and wifi not working. appreciate all your work on this.
[HTC EVO 3D] twistedumbrella:
...trust me, I know. In reverting the changed firmware, I reverted the change in location as well. The firmware went to vendor the kernel looked in etc and the frameworks looked in both. You'd think they could all just negotiate, but no.
[HTC EVO 3D] tatnai:
lol, i'll stop clicking refresh on the timestamp page, then, and just wait for you to say when there is a build with data to flash. thanks again.
[HTC EVO 3D] twistedumbrella:
Lol. Worst case we are three away. One to revert the firmware. One to revert the driver update. One to revert the location. At that point it becomes just a wasted day. Time to set up a spare build machine I guess.
[HTC EVO 3D] Cwebb03:
Having problems with the download, its not showing up on my phone. Can't wait to use this though, seems like it will have a lot more support than a certain CM9 port on this very sight O.o

Edit* Just read far enough to see that you pulled the download link. Hopefully it will be back up soon

Edit** Just finished reading the whole thread and now it seems data/wifi is MIA, I'll shut up and wait for everything to be working

Cm9 is the only one I can flash to without getting non stop reboots.. I can flash Chad's kernel and it calms the phone down, but for some reason, makes it laggy..

[HTC EVO 3D] welrope:
been on evervolv for 6 days now and have yet to have a reboot or any other quirk that is not a known issue.
[HTC EVO 3D] twistedumbrella:
Ok? I don't use prebuilts (audio mute issues), so please excuse the delays on some aspects. If that works then I welcome you to keep using it. Later.

As for those here for the ROM in the OP, it seems there is a darn good reason wifi never seemed to work regardless of what changes were made. I am making a build now to verify this finding and then I will try the updates again without public testing (Seems xda is less development and more ROM market these days, doesn't it?). Right before starting the updates I did some kernel changes to help USB and the wifi and radio permissions were moved below where they needed to be. Makes a lot of sense why the errors were "not found" because the system wasn't being granted access. Anyway, it will be up before long.

Reboot issues are being looked at, but should (mind you SHOULD) be because of radio permissions.

Edit: I do apologize if I sound cranky. I have three ROMs going with every thread comparing it to the other build on that forum. I keep trying to focus on camera, but to get things tested people have to run the build, and sadly to run the build people have to install it, and to install it it seems to need to have stuff like wifi tether when that is not really a priority to me. Ah well, another day.

Oh, and Im uploading the fixed build now. It was the kernel. Easy peesy.
[HTC EVO 3D] bjones8515:
I don't post often. That being said, I check Ur thread everyday to follow Ur progress, and am privileged to do so! Thank u for all your efforts! I agree w u 100%...does seem like a ROM market. I know others feel this way too..I believe its the cause of other devs leaving. I hope this doesn't become the case for you! It would b a shame! I've only been able to boot one version u put out. That 1 single instance has kept me coming back! I know when u get it figd out...it will be great. Look forward to all u have for us here! Thanks!
[HTC EVO 3D] ch1naski:
All I require is mobile data and wifi (wouldn't be much of a smart phone without those).

That being said, this is the only ics ROM I follow. And that is because it is actively being developed. There are some out there that seem to get dev attention only sporadically, for various reasons. Your constant work on this is why I'm here.

Smartass with a Dumbphone.
[HTC EVO 3D] twistedumbrella:
Thanks. The issue is not really this thread by any means. I just happened to read two pages of requests based on a rom that by my standards is garbage for another phone.

It didn't help realizing the whole issue was moving one line just two permission sets too low was the entire problem I have been overhauling everything else to fix. That was just one of those moments you want to toss a laptop through a window. The comment is still true, though, that if another rom works better, by all means... use it. I won't be hurt. I am glad an option was out there to fit your needs.

In the good old days when every rom was just a retheme of the last, one working meant another missed something. The problem with saying "well it works in that one" is that they are not just one change apart. If you want to compare, I recommend looking at the sources. We don't even use the same display layout. That means what can fix one may break another. It will be fixed, though.

Anyway... there is an option under performance for tiled rendering. If you get reboots, it may help. A working radio should also solve a lot of it because in the process the ciq stuff stripped from the kernel was also now stripped from the boot image which would have caused faults.
[HTC EVO 3D] Cwebb03:
So everything but 4G/camera are working? Good stuff, keep up the epic work!
[HTC EVO 3D] Zeman4323:
Another Reversion

So far so good on the "Another Reversion" build.

Both data and wifi are working, I will report back after I have used it for a bit.
[HTC EVO 3D] Aersaud:
Once the camera is working I am so flashing this. I could care less about 4G. :D

I will be waiting. This ROM is definitely worth the wait.
[HTC EVO 3D] twistedumbrella:
I showed up late, did 4g work on cm7?
[HTC EVO 3D] Emerl:
I don't think so? I may be wrong...
[HTC EVO 3D] divilspawn:
No it did not.
[HTC EVO 3D] Gumby63:
No not for our device. They got it working on the evo 4g a while back.
[HTC EVO 3D] Cwebb03:
I tried to change the LCD density through the settings and it got stuck in a beautiful boot-loop. Any ideas? I love the softer haptic feedback that was on Joelz's original builds, plus the CRT animation!
[HTC EVO 3D] kMogs17:
is the download link working for everyone but me? I get "error something went wrong with dropbox" and the upside down dropbox symbol.

EDIT: nevermind it worked now disregard this
[HTC EVO 3D] twistedumbrella:
Haptic feedback can be modified with a script. it is currently default.

This has the crt animation, did you check the display settings?
[HTC EVO 3D] Cwebb03:
No, I'm saying that I liked that it had the CRT animation and the haptic feedback, I should have been more specific.

My problem is that it bootloops when I try to change the LCD Density.
[HTC EVO 3D] louforgiveno:
I'm still confused :confused:
[HTC EVO 3D] twistedumbrella:
If I follow correctly, he changed the dpi in the settings menu and instead of just reflashing the zip (without wiping, since it is just to fix the system) he is staring at a looping phone expressing longing for the same features that are already present, but in another build... I dunno.. seems kinda pointless, but whatever makes people happy ;)
[HTC EVO 3D] twistedumbrella:
Just in case, the dev-host link has also been updated as the next one in the information page may not be entirely reliable as I go back through wireless tests now that I know it isn't an unrelated problem preventing it.
[HTC EVO 3D] JJsax:
twisted, love the fact that you are so active and continuously deving and upgrading for us. The fact that you are able to figure out what's going wrong without actually having this as a working phone of your own is very impressive. Plus the fact that you work on the kernel and ROM side, that's great.

Things I care about in a ROM are simple... Data, wifi, and ummmm, yeah that's about it. If it doesn't have camera oh well. No 4G? so what, I don't have 4G where I live and I'd be willing to bet the majority out there don't either. I've kept up with this thread since day 1 and have continued to read every single page that gets added. I know this is no donation, but thanks for all your hard work and time being spent on this ROM and being so open with us all on what's going on behind the scenes.
[HTC EVO 3D] twistedumbrella:
I do have the hardware without service and kushdeck is always running tests as well and letting me know what I broke on him. Part of the reason for all the work on wifi is because that I can test and it has a lot of room for upgrades. Donations help and all, but a nice post is a donation in a different currency. Thanks :)
[HTC EVO 3D] twistedumbrella:
Well the experimental wireless bcmdhd build is up and seems to be working.

After doing some caparisons while attempting to get it working:

http://review.evervolv.com/#change,530 will not work.

If you look, you are calling

35	WIFI_DRIVER_FW_PATH_STA := "/vendor/firmware/fw_bcmdhd.bin"
36	WIFI_DRIVER_FW_PATH_P2P := "/vendor/firmware/fw_bcmdhd_p2p.bin"
37	WIFI_DRIVER_FW_PATH_AP := "/vendor/firmware/fw_bcmdhd_apsta.bin"

While providing

D	prebuilt/system/etc/firmware/fw_bcm4329.bin	old	Unified
D	prebuilt/system/etc/firmware/fw_bcm4329_apsta.bin	old	Unified

Does anything look wrong here? BTW, same files in the broadcom_wlan project, so calling them is the same scenario.

Also, the

-Dnl80211 -iwlan0 -puse_p2p_group_interface=1 -e/data/misc/wifi/entropy.bin

taken directly from a 3.0 kernel will not work with the implementation you have, as entropy is not created on the initial install. You can, however, keep the original call adding only

-puse_p2p_group_interface=1

and then build the kernel with bcmdhd wext support and it will work wonders.

Just figured since others were trying the same thing for this device, I would post some beneficial findings.
[HTC EVO 3D] twistedumbrella:
Yeah, that rom made me cry. I just felt so much lost potential with every click :(

It wasn't a bad preview. It was just more port, less build.

That said I'm compiling a new build that hopefully ics USB mass storage then it's just camera and 3d like every other HTC. I only wish I could get the hal that is rocking 7x30 to like 3 cameras.
