I think that zip was a mod made (by someone else I THINK not positive) that was made for a much older nightly. Think they stopped as it would have been a pain to keep it updated.
[EVO 4G Android Development] JM-PDA:
Which version of Mason Kernel?

Just switched over to this ROM.

Very stable and smooth!

I see that this ROM has the following Kernel: 2.6.38.8-evervolve-acies-ics+ build May 27/2012.

However, I would be like to see if Mason Kernel improves my battery life.

Anyone here using Mason v.14 or Mason v.RC5 with good battery results (and no impact to ROM stability)?

Thanks!
[EVO 4G Android Development] ben.nesheim:
i believe rc5 is the only one that works i think the other versions break wifi?

I'm running the 8-02 nightly and found a little bug with messaging. I don't like my messages to split when I send more than 160 characters, so I always uncheck the "Split counter" box and all is well. However, in this nightly, my messages will split with the box NOT CHECKED. This isn't a big deal at all, just something to let you know!

[EVO 4G Android Development] Exleh:
I am very curious as to why there is no changelog anywhere?

There have been like 5 nightlys and I can't find a changelog to see whether they are worth flashing.

Also, when I flash a nightly, do I need to wipe everything or can I just flash it over?
[EVO 4G Android Development] atapia984:
1. Same CyanogenMod changelog.

2. No need to wipe all when flashing a nightly. Just cache and dalvik cache.

[EVO 4G Android Development] kendallc123:
Well, there IS a changelog, it's just super hard to understand ;)

http://review.cyanogenmod.com/#/q/status:merged,n,z

And if you flash a nightly, just wipe cache and dalvik cache. If you use a2sd, you need to flash that zip again, and also if you use another kernel like the Mason kernel, you need to flash that too.

Kendall
[EVO 4G Android Development] Exleh:
Thank you both for the reply and I'll get on flashing this tomorrow. Can anyone tell me what's new in the latest nightly? I'm still on 7-26 or something like that.

AtmosFEAR4701,

I switched over to this ROM yesterday morning.

I am using the 8/2 build.

Super fast, smooth, stable and GREAT battery life. Definitely my new "daily".

I am running this ROM with DTA2SD and Mason Kernel RC5.

Enjoy!
[EVO 4G Android Development] Joey121215:
Is there anyway to get one the on screen buttons on the latest nightly then?
[EVO 4G Android Development] savesheep:
Is it worth updating to the CM10 nightly? I'm on CM9 7/26 and just noticed that jmz has a cm10 nightly build on there for supersonic. I assume it's missing some things, but are they the same things cm9 is missing? thanks guys
[EVO 4G Android Development] ben.nesheim:
the thing that gives jelly bean rom a no go is camera. i gladly switch to it if i know im in no need for a camera but tonite im going to concert so pictures shall be needed :) just my two cents on going from cm9 to 10. give ten a whirl for a few hours you may find yourself staying. i did for about a week so builds of both are awesome atm wooot
[EVO 4G Android Development] savesheep:
got it, that sounds awesome. are there any other major features in jelly bean that ics is lacking? Also, my camcorder doesn't work on cm9 - not sure if that's typical or not but it takes great photos! haha thanks ben
[EVO 4G Android Development] ben.nesheim:
other than camera the front facing camera (ffc), 4g and video playback (if im wrong someone please correct but it should throw a soft reboot when trying to play a youtube video) other than that small things a2sd could take a could tries but like cm9 i had no issues personally
[EVO 4G Android Development] Soap:
This is cm9 -facepalm-
[EVO 4G Android Development] ben.nesheim:
@soap this is the question i was refering to

ha which there arent any in jelly bean that are better than ics. for the time being ics is a more "complete" (yes im using that word but i know its not really lol)
[EVO 4G Android Development] Soap:
It threw me off when you referred to cm9.. should've said "This" instead. Lol.
[EVO 4G Android Development] midnightzak:
So, I'll need to hop on the newest nightly before I can really say for sure, but I have no camera and no video playback on CM9 nightly (within the last 2 weeks).

To do the incrementals can i download them all and just flash back to back until im current? Do I need to reboot in between?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Exleh:
One other question, is video playback still acting bad for you guys? I thought that got fixed a while back and it is not fixed for me.

Also, is Mason a good kernel? Battery/performance
[EVO 4G Android Development] midnightzak:
I'm using mason kernel and i get no video playback
[EVO 4G Android Development] Exleh:
I have video playback, but I mean when I take a video with the video camera, it lags like crazy.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Gm0n3y:
Download videocam illusion from the play store. Much much smoother than stock video camera

It nice to know the battery will not die just sitting around and with mild use. I leave sync off and still get outlook mail like its on a push setting. Facebook is similar. I even over clock to max w samari mason 15.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Kenpoman:
is there a good sms popup that works well with this rom?
[EVO 4G Android Development] ben.nesheim:
i have been using notifier pro but side not i do see it use up a little more juice since its hanging around in the background but trade off to having the pop up? battery life is good on this rom anyways imo.

there is also droid notify but i have only used lite. i didnt like that you needed pro to show with all apps i guess but personal opinion.

work great with cm9/ics because you can see the pop up over lock screen and with gingerbread aosp (with notifierpro at least) i still had to unlock to see it
[EVO 4G Android Development] pr0xyw0rm:
anyone having problems with apps2sd. I've traied 8/2 & 8/5 nightly and everytime i choose apps to sd-ext my phone starts freezing and force closing. I have a sandisk sd card class 10. Yes my sd card is partitioned(swap & sd-ext). Im using the stock kernel that comes with the rom(i think is evelov or something like that).
[EVO 4G Android Development] JM-PDA:
I just switched to this ROM from a CM9-TeamDirt.

I had no problems with A2SD on my 16Gb Class-10 microSD card.

I am on the 8/2 ROM build.

After a few days, I switched over to Mason Kernel RC5.

Been running very smooth!
[EVO 4G Android Development] kendallc123:
Every phone is different, however the Evo was designed for class 4 cards. pr0xyw0rm's class 10 may work on their phone, but JM-PDA's card may not work on their phone. Just a thought. Could you try a class 4 card? or class 6?
[EVO 4G Android Development] pr0xyw0rm:
I tried fixing sd-ext and permissions but didn't help. It could be my sd card having compatible issues with my EVO, although I can access my sd card and all the files without problem. This only happens after I move apps to my sd. I wish I had a class 4 or 6 to try but I only have class 10 and the class 2 that came with the phone. I flashed another Rom just to try this and c if it works. I'll post back the result.
[EVO 4G Android Development] kendallc123:
Try this after getting your apps to the sd card. If they won't show up:

boot into recovery

wipe cache and dalvik cache

fix permissions

wipe cache and dalvik cache

reboot

I tried that once with a class 10 card and it worked for me after the reboot

If that doesn't work, then backup your important stuff like music, pictures, nandroid, Titanium Backup, etc. that you have on your sd card to your computer. Then format the card in recovery, partition it again with size 0 swap and 1024 mb for the partition. Then move ext2 to ext 3 and ext 3 to ext 4. Wipe everything and do a clean install of the ROM, flash the a2sd patch zip provided in JMZ's post here. Then reboot your phone, don't install any apps, just go straight to the a2sdgui and try to move your apps to the sd card

Kendall
[EVO 4G Android Development] pr0xyw0rm:
Everything is working fine with the other Rom. No issues with a2sd here for now ;). I'm gonna flash back to this one and try again. Probably I did something wrong. Thanks for all the help.

One more thing. Is not better to set swap value to 256mb than 0? I might be wrong
[EVO 4G Android Development] kendallc123:
I'm not a genius or anything with a2sd, but from a couple guides I read about 8 months ago, they always said to set swap at 0. It could have changed, or one could be better than the other. I've just always used 0. I'll have to look into that one

Kendall
[EVO 4G Android Development] Pwnna:
Swap is ram but on a permanent storage, hence slower. Though useful in many instances.

You would need a swap partition on your sd
[EVO 4G Android Development] SuperiorEVOlution18:
Yup the swap is basicly a RAM extension but on your SD card so it much slower the he internal RAM can be useful, although two it was explained to me that using a swap partition could decrease the life of your SD card and shouldn't be used with slower class cards. Also (now this is a I THINK thing) I think the kernel has to support using the swap system as well. I could be wrong and correct me if I am. Personally never used it myself as haven't seen a real need for it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] pr0xyw0rm:
It's true that swap could kill the sd card and it shouldn't be use on slow sd. I don't know if it is a kernel or Rom thin. I might be both. I've never been a fan of using swap but with 512mb of ram is not enough these days
[EVO 4G Android Development] NxNW:
- the kernel *has* to support it

- it could wear out NAND storage a little faster

- there's not much point

if all you are trying to do is run many small apps, android has that pretty well solved natively, especially on devices with a fair amount of RAM such as the Evo.

if you find yourself switching back and forth frequently between more than one app having a very large RAM footprint, swap *might* be helpful.

CM9 has officially gone stable today! http://www.cyanogenmod.com/blog/cyanogenmod-9-stable

I wonder what this means for the future of these Unofficial nightlies. It looks like CM9 development will mostly stop upstream, making nightly builds largely pointless.

Are we looking at a "Final" Beta release, with future builds only for bug-fixes or in the unlikely case that the remaining broken hardware features get fixes?
[EVO 4G Android Development] dcmasta:
I see this becoming the cupcake of our time. We'll be lucky to see a hardware update, if we do we'll probably see it for jelly beanas well.

[EVO 4G Android Development] MBQ_:
Most likely never, lol
[EVO 4G Android Development] Notorious:
Never. Cyanogenmod dropped official support for the evo 4g and many other phones.. So no chance of official cm9 ever

Then why post something that's for other phones is this like good info for rom stuff? :confused:
[EVO 4G Android Development] JM-PDA:
No doubt I will be sticking with this ROM for a while. I need a ROM with a working camera.

From reading JMZTaylor's thead [ROM] Unofficial CM10 for Supersonic Nightlies **Built from source **Alpha, the camera is not working yet on Jelly Bean.

I've got to have a camera to take pictures of the kids as needed.

JMZ, thank you SO much for an amazing/stable/fast daily ROM!
[EVO 4G Android Development] ben.nesheim:
because this rom is CM9. a stable release for other phones mean a the potential for an even more stable rom to be ported over for us. the lack of support isnt because cm doesnt want to its that it would take up soo much time to keep updated device wise and keeping the older devices going. we have to just be happy that even the phone is EOL and the updates are long gone.

[EVO 4G Android Development] dcmasta:
Well I've done the rice trick. As soon as it fell I instantly pulled it out, ripped off the back, pulled the battery & SD card. After that straight to the bowl of rice for 6 hours. Now I got some saturation on the screen but i'm trying to dry it out right now. When I booted it after the rice the display flickered in and out. I'm hoping the drying out processes fixes it. If not it's on to an old POS phone for a while.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mhwarfield:
One of the best methods I've used to help people where this is happened is to pull the battery and pat it dry. Then put it in a Tupperware container (or facsimile) wrappped in something porus like a paper towel or cloth along with some "silica gel" aka "flower drier" which you can buy at almost any arts and crafts shop. Give it a couple of days for that stuff to suck out all the moisture and then power up the phone. Good as new. As long as it hasn't fallen into salt water and left to sit that way with the battery installed for days, it should work like a charm...

*** Edit ***

Note:

If it HAS fallen into salt water, extremely dirty water, or something else corrosive (pool water - so so), the first action is to throw it into distilled water (not "drinking water) as fast as you can after pulling the battery. Let it sit for a bit or stir it around GENTLY. Then drain that water and put it in some fresh distilled water for a bit longer. THEN put it in a sock or cloth or paper towel on top of a bed of silica gel in a sealed container for several days. Pure water (bottled drinking water is NOT PURE - they add salts to make it taste good) is not corrosive. If you get the corrosive elements (salts) out, you can dry it out but use a desicant and time as oppose to heat. Heat can damage. Rice (slower) or silca gel will get the job done and it will work if you get to it soon enough.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Soap:
You need to keep it off and leave it in rice for a few days. 2 or 3 then try to get it to boot. You may have just cursed yourself by turning it on prematurely.
[EVO 4G Android Development] hevyrockerdk:
Seeing as jmz's (and most other devs) main focus is on CM10 and Jellybean now... We're now on the ass end for development for CM9 and other ICS ROMs.

If you need Wimax that badly, jump back to GB for a while.

I personally don't get Wimax where I'm at, so I don't care if it's working or not.

Upgrading from 8/2 to 8/5

Hello,

I just switched over to this ROM and is now my daily.

I realize that this ROM is at EOL (end of life).

However, I still want to upgrade from 8/2 to 8/5.

Here is what I have installed:

- 8/2 ROM

- Mason Kernel RC5

- dtapps2SD

- vipermod

To upgrade, do I just install the ROM and Mason Kernel?

I am new to dtapps2SD, so I don't know much about this one.

TIA!
[EVO 4G Android Development] JusticeAA:
I can't explain why but I get great battery life on 7-27. Of the latest nightlies its the one I am sticking with.
[EVO 4G Android Development] socioteq:
If using the Mason 15 kernel, and you were wanting to move to the most recent release, you should try OnDemandX with the bfq scheduler. This combo has given me the best battery life and performance out of all combinations I have tried. Give it a shot.
[EVO 4G Android Development] bluezr1:
Sorry for hijacking the thread with this.

The first thing is to pull the battery. Then run to the nearest air line. And if you're around tools, take it apart as far as the tools on hand will allow you. All while airing it out, getting rid of as much water as you possible can. If you can get the phone apart and air it out, you'll be back on your phone as soon as you can get it back together.
