Sorry for the dumb question. But is there a change log somewhere? I just keep flashing not know what is changed or added. No problems though as this is an awesome rom!

Also, any way to disable the lockscreen rotation? It throws me off every time.

Thanks

I see a lot of people like the Mason kernel, but I couldn't find exactly how it's better than stock. My Evo seems to be working pretty well with Evervolv. Is there a good reason to try Mason?
[EVO 4G Android Development] stankcheeze:
For whatever reason, my battery life has improved significantly in the last couple of nightlies.
[EVO 4G Android Development] rjc2233:
Apparently I'm an idiot. I downloaded the mod for the lock screen. Now, how do I make it work? I tried flashing it, but it didn't do anything
[EVO 4G Android Development] rob_z11:
I thought July 6th was the best in terms of battery life compare to 7/8/9/10. I am on July 6th and loving it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] shinesthru:
It is a great kernel with lots of goodies. Mason began as a modified tiamat kernel, but atyoung (mason's creator) has chiseled it down to become its own monster! It has sbc and fso variants, a few different I/O schedulers, and more cpu governors than you can shake a stick at. If all that is gibberish to you, or just for a good read, check this out. However, the only way you will be truly converted to the cult of Mason, is to flash it yourself. Make sure you read the OP to determine which kernel variant is right for your ROM and your preference. Also, check out atyoung's blog at the bottom of the OP to keep up on test builds.
[EVO 4G Android Development] JusticeAA:
I thought that Mason's RC5 was the only one working well with the latest builds (other than stock). Also, are you using setcpu or just setting the min max and governor through the system settings?

Thanks for you input.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Joshr:
I also just downloaded it and flashed it but the locksreen is still rotating... what else are we supposed to do??

I have auto-rotate screen unchecked in settings>launcher>general as well as in settings>display>rotation
[EVO 4G Android Development] shinesthru:
I'm not sure what if RC5 is the best on these builds. Personally I am using that iteration, but I haven't tested it with previous RCs. Go here to find all his builds including RC5.

As far as set-cpu goes, I see no advantage to using it when the same function is built into the ROM. You don't need sleep profiles with many of the governors seeing that it is already built in to the governor itself. I think it may actually cause more harm than good having both running.
[EVO 4G Android Development] kendallc123:
I'm pretty sure RC5 is the only one that will work with these recent (within the past month or so) builds

Regarding the flashlight toggle, does anyone know of a workaround for this (for the time being)? I have asked the googles, but they didn't have an answer for me. From what I've read the CM team is having to re-write the way this works for ICS from GB.

[EVO 4G Android Development] MEZOCLONE:
Same here, I switched cards and it has happened again but only once. What I have done is reflash a2sd.

___________________

°Reflash a2sd from recovery, reboot into system and open terminal:

su

a2sd remove

____________________

°Once you boot up go back to terminal:

su

a2sd reinstall

_____________________

°FYI if you have a good number of apps this way could be a pain. When you (a2sd remove) internal memory goes quick. This has worked for me, its kinda a pain, but it has prevented me from having to re-flash everything.

Idk why but the mason kernels just don't seem to want to okay nice with my phone on thus ROM. Flashed the 15rc4 and tried the .14 series (gonna try the rc5 like I've read and see how that goes)and it booted up after a few tries but got breaking lag followed by a slew of FCs including system. Don't know really. If anyone has any suggestions I'm all for it. But other then that runs great, fast, smooth. Battery life isn't the greatest but I just flashed last night so still early.

Yea my bad I misread the rc5 for rc4 on here as I'm at work on a forklift while reading this(so not safe lmao) I'm assume on his goo page that's linked a page back its the EI rc5? As that's the only rc5 option I see. Again sorry for the unnecessary post. I prefer masons governors over stock. Thanks again for all of this.

It is the EI RC5

Its been awhile since I ran this but thinking of flashing back. At the time I left camcorder was working but quite buggy and video playback had to be done in MX. Just wanted to know if anyone can confirm video playback and video recording.

How's the 7/12 nightly? I've been having GPS issues lately
[EVO 4G Android Development] JusticeAA:
My camcorder recordings have been really poor. The frame rate is bad (maybe 5 fps) and it is choppy. I uploaded the videos to my PC to see if it was just the playback on the phone and it was a little better but not much.

So, does no one know how to use the mod for no rotating lock screen? Apparently its more than just me that doesn't know
[EVO 4G Android Development] jmz:
yes camcorder works but not great. Expect ics development to slow quite a bit because of jb. So I have a sneaky suspicion this is about as far as this rom is going. I am not speaking for cm team. I just know jb is front and center now

I verified the lockscreen rotation disable mod to disable rotation. Those having issues, I really dunno what to tell you. I flash latest and flash the mod. I have no roatating lockscreen
[EVO 4G Android Development] ben.nesheim:
i use smart rotator and i just leave auto rotate off in the system settings and set what i know i want to switch to switch aka navigation winamp and what not and then everything else is set to just be portrait
[EVO 4G Android Development] smccue:
+1 on this one for me.
[EVO 4G Android Development] shinesthru:
First, you should probably go to the Mason kernel thread to ask this. Second, you are going to need to provide a little more info, i.e. which version you are flashing, and what do you mean your phone not "accept"ing it?
[EVO 4G Android Development] JusticeAA:
This is the version of Mason that you need:

http://atyoung.blogspot.com/2012/06/first-of-rc5s.tml?m=0

Flash it in recovery, wipe caches, reboot. If that doesn't work try a clean rom install then flash.

If that doesn't work you are being punished for a past transgression and are out of luck.
[EVO 4G Android Development] rjc2233:
Just flashed Mason Kernel and this rom is even that much better now. This sucker is flying. Who needs a new phone when the Eco can perform like this
[EVO 4G Android Development] SuperiorEVOlution18:
Gave the mason kernel time to settle and its fast and smooth and getting awesome battery life us much better. Really loving the ICS performance.

I'm using 08 and mine just wigged out while plugged in.

I have the touch tracking turned on as I just replaced the digitizer a couple of days ago, and my phone lit up and showed touches all over the place. I unplugged it and powered the screen off and back on and it stopped.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ironromulas:


Wipe cache and dalvik. Flash latest rc5. Run over clocked to the Max with samari gov. .....sweet and good batt. On 7/8 I think. I always flash rom try original kernal for awhile then go mason 5. Fix permissions if you have boot loop out of no where. But I don't really know to much.....
[EVO 4G Android Development] ben.nesheim:
well since i recommended trying something i thought i'd actually try it myself ... sooo running smart rotator and lock screen still rotates on 712
[EVO 4G Android Development] jwitt418:
I haven't been on this rom in a bit. But here is a simple fix that worked for me. Go to home screen, pull down status bar. Turn rotation on. Check to insure it works. Turn rotation off. Check to insure its off. Make sure you're now hold phone vertically. Tap power to screen off. Tap on to lockscreen. Should be fine now.

re: lockscreen rotation issues

I too hate how the lockscreen rotates. It never used to do this. I've tried all the fixes, even the.zip that supposed to fix it. But none of them work...it still rotates...

Please go back to the way it was...or make it an option somehow.
[EVO 4G Android Development] BuddaBelly:
I'm also not a big fan only because it seems to lag my phone slightly. But with that said it no problem to flash the no lock screen zip so its not really being forced on us.

Edit...looks like the no landscape mod isn't working now. Flashed it twice with no luck.

I was wondering if there was a gps fix incorporated into the latest nightlies because when I flash my normal gps fix it breaks it. I re downloaded the nightly and didn't flash the fix and gps worked. This is the first time gps worked without flashing a fix.
[EVO 4G Android Development] cullenmq1:
I can confirm that the GPS fix breaks the GPS. So... I guess don't flash if it works. Why do extra work :)

If it aint broke, dont try and fix it!!! :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] socioteq:
After going through several gov/kernel explanation pages and doing extensive testing, I settled on OnDemandX + BFQ

It gives me ~19-22 hours with upper-moderate usage (I use my phone a lot at my job). In lower usage and screen off, I'm getting ~35hours. I have a stock battery, and am also using the newest V6 Supercharger script for services.jar. I have stock frequencies but have enabled 2D acceleration from the performance menu. (Mason 1.5 beta5 kernel)

I've had phenomenal results with this ROM. It's right on par with deck's 1.3d, but unfortunately I'd have to still say deck's 1.3d is better because everything was working.

Still though! kudos JMZ on making such a wicked smooth rom for our OG device
[EVO 4G Android Development] cullenmq1:
That's incredible thanks. Are you OC/UV or just stock?
[EVO 4G Android Development] socioteq:
Just stock, but I did edit a couple of other things via ROM toolbox pro:

Sysctl:

Dirty ratio: 90

Dirty background ratio: 70

VFs cache pressure: 10

Check! OOM kill allocating task

After v6 supercharger auto configures for OOM values, you should get something close to this, which is a very steady range of values four task management:

8,12,45,53,61

I'm pretty much out of ideas on how to pimp it any further... Just waiting for that project butter:beer:

Are you able to get your values to stick after reboot? I can't get my scheduler or SD read ahead to stick so I haven't started messing with sysctl or the oom values.

Sent from my tomatoe filled evo
[EVO 4G Android Development] ben.nesheim:
had some issues on the past i think what makes it stick (as an example lets say sd card read ahead value) switch to value wanted - hit apply - then click apply on boot and i havent had any issues but i know before i'd check and go wtf why isnt that applied lol
[EVO 4G Android Development] socioteq:
Ya what I did was RE-supercharge and reboot

then when I got back into the ROM, I went to ROM toolbox to change sysctl values.

I mean, I THINK everything is sticking that way, when I open Chrome I'm not getting that choppy transition anymore, and my app switcher doesnt have a choppy scroll, so I think all is well.

Just downloaded the 20120714 nightly, wiped as the instructions said, wiped some more stuff, flashed the ROM, the gapps, the updated sprint VVM, and everything is running smoothly. Loving this one.

Only one thing I'd like to figure out. The ICS VVM gets me those damn annoying texts, and I don't like, want, or need them. I'll look around to see if there's a fix for that, but if anyone knows of one off the top of their heads, could you please let me know where this is? Thanks in advance.

I know there was an MMS fix for CM7 that was modified to block texts from that number. Is it possible to somehow blacklist that number from the contacts list, or system settings, or what have you, so that absolutely nothing comes in from that number, not just send any calls from it to voicemail?

I'll do some setting searching, and see what I come up with.
