[EVO 4G Android Development] linuxmanxxx:
Hacking around in a rom and code merging porting and developing are very different. I wasn't questioning jmz abilities but the whole CM process for porting code. They should have someone capable to port previous versions code into the new git trees. Seems your the one not being civil here.
[EVO 4G Android Development] linuxmanxxx:
I'm not capable enough writing code to jump into the Android fray as well as time challenged. Real progress for CM staying up with the pace of Android will happen when someone that can operate with code at the level that the Linux maintainers merge and back and forward port, legacy phone builds off aosp CM source would be much easier. I'm just opening discussion that would help the whole Android phone community.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Pwnna:
Bro. Chillax. It's a lot more complicated than you think.

Android is not really open. Making android work on a device with a lot of proprietary is not simple. If a new version of android comes out, you can only hope to find an updated binary blob or reverse engineer and make your own driver. Both of these doesn't happen very often.

You also gotta realize that these people are doing it for free in their spare time.

Speaking of which. Where can I get the code for this. I want to see if I can build some stuff myself.
[EVO 4G Android Development] linuxmanxxx:
All the CM code is sitting in github repositories.
[EVO 4G Android Development] skumpe:
CM code yes, drivers no. There is a difference
[EVO 4G Android Development] linuxmanxxx:
That's why I was talking about merging the CM WiMAX from 7 into 9 and 10. Working code why wait for ics and jb source to drop a yr later?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Pwnna:
Which one. Official CM doesn't have super sonic for ICS
[EVO 4G Android Development] Soap:
Different operating systems, characteristics and drivers. CM isn't the same code on all levels. There is so much more to it than swapping around a few codes and calling it good.

This is my signature.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Kasual52e:
The problem is that the code is written to work with the drivers. If you can get HTC to release their source code for the evo then it would be much easier to get both wimax and the cameras working.

Sent from my jmz built version of CM9
[EVO 4G Android Development] linuxmanxxx:
Its only the WiMAX modules(drivers) and networking stacks that matter. Android Lee all programming is modular and certain portions are relative to the Linux kernel source regardless of gb ics or jb. Htc Samsung and LG take the google source merge the driver code specific to their devices and compile their builds. So when HTC releases gb source someone merged the WiMAX into their CM tree and CM7 WiMAX was born. So presently someone its trying to merge the ics source from I think the evo 3d into CM9 and is what jmz is having problems with. Jmz source tree had the WiMAX in it 2days ago. Ask him where his github is pulling from.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jmz:
Ok, im gonna squash this now. Even Wimax stuff is relative to the device. I.E. you can't use Evo 3d stuff on Evo 4G. This was confirmed through toastcfh, who did the wimax for both GB and ICS. He wrote the wimax for Evo 3D, which is a EMMC device. Evo 4G is a MTD device. So therein lies the problem. Why? I don't know. But the man himself said it most likely wont work on a MTD device. That is all I can really go on. I definitely don't have the skills to rewrite Wimax. So basically wimax is dead.

This thread has gone on far too long without mod interaction. So please don't let it begin now.

I love this rom and battery life seems to be back where it was before wimax. But damn the lockscreen landscape change. Please add an option to lock it to portrait.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ben.nesheim:
just to help clarify do you mean after boot up or like at all no weather what so ever? sometimes i gotta give it an ol tap to refresh butttt usually it lags up a little bit to after booting but had no issue resolving location and pulling weather on 7/27.

also what build are you on maybe others are having same issue but not using lockscreen weather so they dont know :)

and second landscape lockscreen change... i probably use it in landscape 3 percent of the time ... :p but minor thingy just happy it works for those who enjoy it more :)

I don't usually the lockscreen weather, but just checked and it's working for me. I'll leave it on for a while to be sure.

Sent from my Og Evo 4G
[EVO 4G Android Development] ix3u:
I was using the "stock" which I believe is just regular mason 14...had gps and camera issues, so I tried the sbc kernel and exactly the same problems. So then I tried the aokp milestone 5 to see if it was just the cm9 rom giving me grief. But same think on aokp... I'm starting to think it's a hardware version thing. Some say it works perfectly and others are having issues. I know I went through the flashing process exactly as I should have, which means it's something else... Not sure if there is a correlation or not, but if memory serves, I think I got the ver 003 hardwear
[EVO 4G Android Development] maltedbarley:
I was using mason fso sbc on 4/29 version with no issues. Now on 5/2 release with the included mason kernel with no issues either. It must be a hardware issue then.

Also I'm not sure if it's been noted but wifi tethering is broken, even with the app. That may very well be an ics issue, I haven't really looked into it.

Oh, and as I'm sure many of you have seen, on the xda app it says " Sent from my Full Android", as well as on the play website it says "unknown full android". Not a big deal, I only noticed because I was trying to dl HDMwIn and it wouldn't let me.

I don't have any problems with GPS and still no reboots but one thing for sure the dsp is the best so far and my music is much deeper and louder than any other ics rom out there. If you guys are having problems with installing this ported rom make sure your not using CWM, instead use amon ra 3.11 its much better than any other recovery system just to point out.

[EVO 4G Android Development] oodork123:
I haven't tried touch mode but also from what I hear it also depends on your baseband, pri, prl, and your hboot. Mazdarider23 says depending on your phones hboot can cause random reboots and other things. One more thing your the first with working torch that didn't reboot my phone or fc. :beer: cheers

Good job on his rom man. Been waiting for a while. Got tired of flashing all the other ics roms. None are stable that I tried. I admire what u do. I have been using the latest build since last night. Runs very good for an experimental project. Not many issues. Got my first reboot today but was probably my own fault doing a lot of my own tweaks. Again thanks for ics

[EVO 4G Android Development] jharre08:
Ok guys. I have read all 32 pages of this forum and so far I'm loving this ROM!

Question - I haven't looked outside of this forum yet, so don't crucify me for this, but is there any VVM for ICS out there?

Also, I see some are having the camera FC issue, and I'm one of them. Cleared data, rebooted, no help. Running HW 0004. Just FYI :-)

Keep up the good work!
[EVO 4G Android Development] klharalson:
To be honest with you, I always used the sprint VVM until a week ago when I finally tried google voice which was the only thing keeping from using an ICS rom as a daily...I am not sure why I waited...it works flawlessly on ICS (this ROM especially) and is a very quick and painless setup.

[EVO 4G Android Development] MBQ_:
With full ROMs, just do a completely clean install (partition, wipe everything, you know the drill) and with incrememtals all you need to do is wipe cache and dalvik. But since you're a few days behind, just do a clean install
[EVO 4G Android Development] klharalson:
Boot to recovery, wipe cache, install newest nightly and reflash app2sd zip if partitioned. No need to wipe all data

oh.. we're supposed to re-flash app2sd.zip? I haven't been doing that.. oops

I noticed there's an update, but no corresponding incremental. If I understand correctly, if I do the update that's not an incremental, it'll wipe out everything and I'll have to re-install all my apps.. correct?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Jaygo7:
Just wipe cache and dalvik cache, then install the update. All of your apps will stay intact

[EVO 4G Android Development] dcmasta:
While to technical people it makes perfect sense on why it won't work. Non-technical people need additional non-technical way of understanding. So here is a metaphor to help make sense of things.

If you bought a 2008 model car and tried to put the computer from a 2012 car will it work? (I'm being vague as possible to not confuse this anymore than necessary).
[EVO 4G Android Development] dcmasta:
He looks confused, it's like the first time he's seeing a Woman's no no parts lol.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Pwnna:
The OP from that post said that the omnivision camera from the EVO worked without software modification on the DHD, which has a different sensor, proposing that perhaps the hardware is identical.

However it seems like this is done on Android 2.3 instead of 4 and no one else was able to really confirm this.. so it's fairly safe to ignore what i just said.

Someone might wanna notify the peeps at the xda portal. The post there made it seem like someone found a way to have a universal driver for all older HTC cameras.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Vyrus69:
Just moved over to this from from a Sense 3.5 ROM and so far not too happy with the battery life, it was pretty much gone in a blink of an eye re-installing of my apps.

Does this rom have a power efficiency mode similar to sense3.5 thats turns off the mobile network when the phone is sleeping? Or any kernels or settings you can recommend?

Please help, I really want to be on ICS for a daily and this ROM is super smooth, but I wouldn't be able to live with it if the battery is this bad.

[EVO 4G Android Development] bimmerman7:
Yeah, its called a network toggle button...you can push it before you go to bed. Also, just how many apps are you installing? Sounds like you need a new battery or need to calibrate the one you have...Also did you wipe battery stats coming from Sense 3.5? That is a notoriously big battery hogging Rom, with all the Sense crap running, there should be no way CM9 is worse on battery life than 3.5...
[EVO 4G Android Development] Vyrus69:
Re-installed most of my apps, not to mention I'm on Metropcs so I had to do some configuring, so I'm attaining it to that.

I just flashed the .15 RC5 Mason kernel, and I'm charging up the phone to 100% because I actually have not wiped the stats yet.

But when it comes to the toggle button, that was the best thing about the automatic off in 3.5, I had my battery last 26 hours once on one charge. So hopefully after some rom and kernel settling in a couple of days, I won't be complaining :D
[EVO 4G Android Development] BuddaBelly:
Haha obd2 is simply an interface that all vehicles sold in the US since 1996 are mandated to have. Its no different than having micro usb on most phones. Your analogy would mean I could take a computer from a Toyota and make it run a GMC. Doesn't work that way for sure. That's basically saying since we all have usb interface on our phones we should be able to run any software we want. Anyway back to my regular job as a mechanic. Sorry I got a little off topic.

Yes but obd allows "easier"interfacing with the car and therefore "tuning" right? Yeah it is kinda bad analogy. Back to development.

Find a theme you like with a battery icon you like, just search CM9 theme in the Play Store...or you could possibly use Rom Toolbox if you don't want to theme to change your icon. Also there is an app called Masturmod Settings over on the "other" Android Dev site that has a lot of different circle mod batteries.

Lower the Max CPU to 883 and run mason kernel .15 wheatley gov.

Use cm9 brightness settings you can find on xda. Search "cm9 brightness"

Install viper mod and drop -75mv

Use battery calibration by nema found in play store and follow directions.

Turn off auto sync

Reduce home screen pages to 3 and try not to go crazy with widgets.

Thank me now or thank me later
[EVO 4G Android Development] ben.nesheim:
Even just letting the battery/rom will be a huge improvement. I have only calibrated when I switched to an extended battery and then flashed a new rom. I would also just tweak auto sync settings like fb/twitter sync every 4 hours instead of the default of one hour. Really a power saver function should not be needed but I digress hope you have some good experiences with cm9 I'm stuck :P
