For some reason, the camera is not working for me at all. I've wiped and reflashed three times. I've tried flashing the mason kernel and I've tried with the stock kernel. Whenever I try to open the camera, I just get a black screen for about 10 seconds then it force closes. Anybody else getting this?
[EVO 4G Android Development] skumpe:
I've had this happen to me on other roms; what usually causes it is a corrupt picture. Try emptying out your picture folder and try again.

hmm... don't think I know what you're referring to. I found something in system settings/location that gives you the option between bluetooth and internal, and I chose the internal antennae. I can't find anything in any of the apps that has options outside of google location services with regard to gps, except edmondo, which only references choosing between bluetooth & internal antennae. Is that what you're referring to? I flashed the Persistant Galandy fix a little while ago and it's not any worse, but I'm not up for another run just now to see if it's any better. In maps, it's still about 20 - 30 yards off.

I see 07/23 is out. Is WiMax still radioactive to touch or is it ready to play with and bust?
[EVO 4G Android Development] jmz:
WiMAX is still broken. But now it just fails. It doesn't cause reboots anymore. Myself, preludedrew, and deck are all looking into it. But like I said before the man himself, toast, said it might not work on mtd devices

Hey all, first off love the rom. Been using it for a few hours and have had only minor issues. I am running the latest build from 7/22, stock kernel and no settings are tweaked.

Some issues I have are that launcher pro keeps force closing, which is no big deal as I don't mind ics interface.

Second issue is the native browser seems laggy. Once again no big deal breaker.

The last issue is the led flash no longer works which I use all the time... It won't work for the camera (which does work), stock flash light app or Tesla lite. They say its on but its not. If I go back to cm7 it works. So its not hardware related. I'm thinking kernel? Would anyone have advice?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Soap:
Try flashing a mason kernel if you think that's it. Its working fine for me.

Hmm, I am on stock kernel w/718, Torch app and camera flash working fine here

Lol yea I'm sure. I actually got it working now. I flashed the camera HAL zip I had from a while back and that got it going. :D

Strange issue:

With every build, when I go and try to use an app that requires SU, It force closes.

ie: Titanium backup won't start up, script manager force closes, and terminal emulator, when opened, opens on the white screen, stays on the white screen, and force closes, etc.

Details:

I always do a clean wipe

SmelkusMOD 4.3

Superwipe 3x, then manual wipe 1x

Clean temp. files 3x

Wipe SD-ext

partition to 1024, 0 swap

ext2 to ext3

ext3 to ext4

flash the ROM

flash the evervolv gapps, and tried the 4/29 ones with same issue

flash DTA2SD from JMZs goo folder (tried without it and still the same issue)

I have tried the stock kernel, Mason IE

Mason I RC4 SBC FSO but that was crazy unstable for some odd reason

I also allow the ROM 15 minutes to settle, SU has not worked properly on every build by him

I have basically tried everything, even fixing permissions and rebooting. I hope that is enough details.. I would keep going but I could write a novel hah.

This also applies to every Team D.I.R.T ROM except paranoidandroid, and also everything worked fine with kangorade by swiper and his friend tr0nit

My phones hardware is 0003 and I am running the latest HBOOT, pri, and whatever else, my PRL is the Verizon one (52515 or whatever)

Anyone have any ideas? I have tried to do everything in my power to make it work and it never does. It's quite a bummer because these nightlies are frickin cool. Hopefully I gave enough details. Thanks to anyone who helps or at least tries to.

[EVO 4G Android Development] BuddaBelly:
You may need to flash a sense rom and reset your GPS. I forget the exact method but I used Nike+ today on latest and it worked perfect as did the wife's. You were correct in using the internal antenna. You do however need to toggle on GPS before starting the app though because I have had issues with it turning GPS on. The Bluetooth setting is for the shoe adapter which seems cool but we have never sprung for it so I can't say how well it works. Nike+ has always been the most accurate for me.

I have an odd email issue that iv never seen before, maybe you guys can help. I emailed myself an attachment, the Mason kernel ZIP at that. When I try to open it it gives me "info" as a button and when clicked says "You cant save or open this file because this type of attachment might contain malicious software".

Iv tried this in my Gmail as well as yahoo through the native mail client. Since im at work im unable to use drop box or my sync cable. So i though a 2mb file through email would work but clearly not.

I have gone through all email settings and the phones settings that I could think of and see nothing related to this security feature.

Any ideas?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Sonjiin:
Thanks for the link, this one worked. With the mason kernel successfully installed the Flash is now working.

Thanks again!
[EVO 4G Android Development] savesheep:
If it somehow got to your gmail, gmail doesn't allow zip files as attachments. Try sending it to another email account that's set up on your phone.

Just dumped CM7 for this (unofficial) CM9 release and so far I like it.

1. Wiped everything

2. Flash Rom

3. Flash Mason Kernel

4. Flash Gapps

5. Reboot and gave Gapps a directory in TE (was crashing initially)

6. Ran A2SDGui and got it goin

7. Started installing apps

Only app I am having problems with right now is BeWeather. The widget works, and it still displays weather information, but the full screen animation is completely broken. It looks like someone is trying to watch the naughty channels when they don't actually get them (diagonal lines, like the vertical sync is broken).

I'm going to keep running this mod despite this problem, but I'd love to resolve this if anyone has suggestions.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Kasual52e:
Just went for a run with endomondo and it tracked perfect for me down to which side of the road I was running on so I don't think it is an app or rom issue. I recommend the sense gps fix and gps status app to make sure your gps is giving accurate fixes.

When I added my work email it require me to add pin lock.. after that I am not able to use lock screen anymore.. when I press power button to use phone it show me password screen and then it enter in phone.. also my password is set for 10min lock so when I press power button and phone is locked..and if its before 10min then when I press power button to unlock it.. it directly enter in phone.. no password no lock screen.

any help to show lock screen?

that's great news. that means I can fix it! I updated my radio/prl today also (haven't done so in way so long ago). I have the gps status app, though I'm not really sure how it works to tell you the truth. I did the sense fix a long time ago when this issue came up originally. maybe cm6? or early cm7, but I'll do it again if I don't have better tracking next time I run. Thanks for the info
[EVO 4G Android Development] youngchris29:
Go to settings>security>lock screen and check where it says "show Widgets before unlock". That should let you see the lock screen before you have to enter your password.

I'll try the uninstall/reinstall (though I think I did that already). Using the newest ROM release as of yesterday. Using Mason Kernel, didn't change governor at all, not overclocking. I'll update after the reinstall tomorrow.

EDIT: Also I am getting spammed by Superuser on a couple of apps. It seems it is asking more frequently than it has in the past and isn't 'remembering' my choice to allow it superuser access. I get spammed badly when using DTA2SDGUI and TitaniumBackup (20+ SU requests) and spammed a little when using LuckyPatcher (5-10 times). Ideas on this one?
[EVO 4G Android Development] staySICK:
Hello. I tried flashing 7/24 from cm 7 today, cleared caches, flashed the rom, gapps, apps2sd.

the rom boots after a while ( typical, first flash and all) but about 2 seconds after getting to the lock screen, the boot animation restarts. I let it go, but it's been doing this for a quite a while. I've reflashed, it's still doing the same thing. Should I try an older nightly?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Soap:
You're kidding me right?? A FULL wipe is required if coming from a different ROM. You can't just upgrade cm7 to cm9 with a cache wipe. Its a whole different OS !!

This is my signature.
[EVO 4G Android Development] MattMatt0240:
Try doing a full wipe (system, caches,... everything except sdcard). You need to do full wipes if you're coming from a different version of android. Whether it be 2.2 to 4.0, or backwards, full wipes HIGHLY recommended.

Also, what recovery are you using? Try smelkus-mod aman RA, flawless recovery, also highly recommended. Link in my sig btw
[EVO 4G Android Development] staySICK:
Ah! I didn't think about having to do a full wipe, been a while since I've flashed completely different android versions.

I'm actually using Amon Ra recovery as well.

And that seems to have worked, I'm on the set up screens now. I feel foolish.

It is a miracle in itself our phone(s) can actually run ICS, and now JellyBean..
[EVO 4G Android Development] WildSioux:
Yes, i could go all day, now barely 8. I even went 24hr once but didnt use much. The thing is when it would last all day i left my wifi on all day even when away from wifi access. Now i have to turn it off just to make it.

It seems like with all this wimax talk is when i noticed the battery to drop faster. Not sure if there is a correlation but that us my theory that with the extra code for wimax is causing the battery to drain faster. I have also noticed that my phone gets HOT! Could it be that the wimax antenna is searching for a signal even though its not yet working? HOT phone and a faster draining battery...hmm?
[EVO 4G Android Development] MattMatt0240:
Agreed, the Evo is beast, never gonna die in my eyes.

I'm pretty sure the goal is to get wimax to scan in cooperation with ics/jb. Extra code for wimax that is not in use wouldn't be the problem.

I've also noticed my phone getting a little warmer when I use it, but not to any extreme. Maybe a bunch of background apps running? Sorry I'm still on the learning side of all this...

Question... [And I thought I knew the answer to this but I can't find it...]

How do I keep the screen from dimming with certain applications or certain conditions (like connected to a power source)? When I'm running SystemPanel, Google Maps, GPS Status, or Atlanta Navagator I want the screen to remain at high (it's always plugged in then). I know these apps request the permission to keep the display on, but the display still dims after a minute or so of inactivity.

I thought it was part of the settings for when the phone was plugged in where I could set it to NOT dim when plugged in but that seems to have changed or I've just forgotten where it was.

I know I'm missing something obvious here. I'm not finding the settings to set the timeout or to disable it when plugged in but I swear I've seen them before (maybe CM7). :confused:

In display change automatic back light decrease hysteresis to 0%

This is my signature.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mhwarfield:
Well, this is where I'm getting confused. That's where I thought it was but it doesn't seem to be.

Under "System Settings" -> "Display" I have a thing for "Brightness" that is set to 100%.

From "System Settings" -> "Display" I go to "Automatic Backlight". The only hysteresis I see is under "Allow light decrease" which was initially NOT checked and the "Decrease hysteresis" was not enabled as an option. I checked that, I was able to set "Decrease hysteresis" to 0. But it had no impact. Nothing else in there is checked and nothing else, available or not, references hysteresis. That hysteresis also remarks "Sensor levels overlap this much downwards". Ok... That doesn't sound right. That whole menu is titled "Light Sensor Filter" which also doesn't sound right.

Am I looking in the wrong spot or what?
[EVO 4G Android Development] shinesthru:
After decreasing hysteresis to 0, did you reboot?
[EVO 4G Android Development] staySICK:
Question: I've never really messed with the profiles in CM, is there any way in addition to the overrides to specify different wallpapers to each profile?
[EVO 4G Android Development] mhwarfield:

Battery life after using "cm-9-20120727-UNOFFICIAL-supersonic.zip"

Reading the last few days of this thread, it appears that battery life took a hit on some of the recent builds.

Thanks!
[EVO 4G Android Development] qccoles:
I wish there was a "dumbed down" changelog for people like me, that repository type thing is too much for me.

Also, a2sd rookie here, when updating the rom, what procedure do you follow to make sure you keep your apps? After I flashed the new version I'm stuck with shortcuts and no app behind them.

UPDATE: Reflashed a2sd then gapps. Everythings okay, just gotta remember to save my Apex config
[EVO 4G Android Development] WildSioux:
^^^^^^I havent tried the 27 yet. Downloading now...

Thursday morning, I went through nearly 60 % of my battery by 10 am, mostly through my sports app endomondo.

Today, roughly 1/2 that amount with nearly the same amount of time usage. I used sportstracker instead of endomond hoping to get better gps results (sadly, only slightly) and used about 12 minutes less time on the sports app.

Battery life was noticeably better, though.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Captain_Throwback:
Nice.

It's sad you couldn't get it working, though. I was hoping to be able to run CM10 as my daily, since I still use my OG for texts and calls, but I also tether my LTE to it. And since the 4G where I'm at is strong, I miss it when I switch over to CM9/CM10 (to play ;)). Well, I know you gave it your best, and I appreciate the effort!

I guess my only hope for WiMAX on ICS at this point is the Primo port, but with audio being such an obstacle on that, I don't think WiMAX will be in the picture anytime soon :rolleyes:.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jmz:
Enabling wimax again is very easy. Its really up to toast if he wants to deal with mtd device. I did all I could. Not doggin on him at all. He did amazing work on the cm7 wimax and now evo 3d wimax.

Yeah audio on all sense 4 ports is kicking everyone's ass. I thought my issues with cm9 on the primo would help me with sense 4. But that didn't prove to be so as its 2 totally diff things.
[EVO 4G Android Development] bluezr1:
Ok maybe I'm wrong, but this is what I've come up with.

It seems as though since 7-01 rom (sometime around then) battery life has taken a hit. Although since then I've noticed that the auto brightness hasn't worked, it seems to be always at Max brightness. Is it me or does anyone else feel the same way?

Edit* This also explains the wake issues I was having. After I noticed the battery draining out more rapidly, I began messing around more with the governors and lowering the max and min CPU settings.
[EVO 4G Android Development] linuxmanxxx:
I don't understand the WiMAX issues. If it worked in CM7 then take that source merge it to CM9 tree and tweak it to match newer kernel changes. Linux does this every kernel so why can't Android devs?
