Anyone have a mirror? I have downloaded from the OP multiple times and am getting a bad download. TIA

EDIT: Well the 4th download did it.

I have been following this thread from the beginning. I tried 2.1 but couldn't get past the scrolling bug. All I can say now is WOW!! I was set to flash back to stock and sell my View. Now I can't stop using it today :D Thank you ynconsulting and all involved with testing and collaborating. I know a lot of work went into this, and if you took donations I'd buy you a beer or 12. Instead I'll max out my thanks today on you. All of the work done on this is much appreciated!!

2.3 Review

Upgraded from 2.2 to 2.3 over the weekend and loved the scrolling fix (yncconsulting, again excellent work). The following are outstanding issues I found:

Front camera - really need it for Skype

Wifi Tethering - using the 3.2 beta 2 version of http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/downloads/list, I get errors for 'Starting softap' and 'Activating WiFi interface. Under rooted HC this worked. For both ROM, I did need to set 'Routing Fix' option

VPN - still can't get this to work. yncconsulting, let me know if you need more logs than what I sent. I was able to get DroidVPN to work, if that helps ?

4G - let me know if you need me to do anything to test

Bluetooth - was able to pair and connect my 520 plantronics, and I do hear an audible beep on the bluetooth device, but no audio to being relayed. In the Settings | Bluetooth is says 'phone audio', so I wonder it's designed to work on inbound and outbound phone calls only - which in the case of View 4G isn't going to happen. Hoping to use with Skype + Wifi | 3G | 4G

Flash player - looks like JB doesn't support flash. I was able to download apk and install and it 'sort of works' when executed from inside the browser. The default player window doesn't work, but if you maximize it's fine

If we can get all this things functional, very prepared to donate :D
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] chadlnc:
Thanks, will that be in the original post when you have it completed?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] postscript:
This is an excellent update! Great work!

Bluetooth is working well and the scrolling is superb. The only problem I still have is with the stylus, for whatever reason it picks up that I am writing even if I am 3/4 of an inch away from the screen. Again, if there is a patch to revert to the old method of stylus input it would be greatly appreciate.

Thanks again for all of your hard work!

To disable the data connection setup at start up I uninstalled "Mobile Network Configuration" and "Mobile Data" with Titanium Backup and have seen no a adverse affects so far. I also uninstalled the Messaging app as I use this as Wifi only and text with Google Voice.

Tablet to Phone UI flash

Well I tried the Tablet UI and I like the phone UI better. Is there a way or patch to go back to the Phone UI?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] casmi:
You could reflash the ROM wiping cache and dalvik only. You won't lose any settings.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] richnwilson:
Hi Rich,

Before wiping anything, try modifying these instructions I posted last week - just change the false to true

With some help from others I got this to work by manually changing

CGROM.phoneUI = [B]false [/B]

in the

\system\build.prop

file.

To do this I used ES File Explorer app that comes with the ROM.

If I remember correctly the steps are:

Open up ES File Explorer

Click on Settings (using ... icon along the bottom)

Scroll down to the bottom and click Other Settings | Root Settings

Make sure the following are checked - Root Explorer | Up to Root | Mount File System

Back in the main ES File Explorer window, click on the Up icon in the top toolbar

You should see system folder (depending on where you are in the folder structure you may need to go up again)

Click system folder

Hold down the build.prop icon and then select 'Open As'

Select Text

I then chose the ES Note Editor, but you can select any editor

About 4/5 of the way down you'll see the line CGROM.phoneUI=true, change this to false

Click ... icon and then Save

I can't remember if I needed to reboot, but I'd do this anyway

NOTE: Probably not the best thing to be editing such a key file, so perhaps copy as a backup beforehand. Also, I seem to remember yncconsulting mentioning something about permissions, but I didn't have any issues with this approach

IMPORTANT: Going on memory here, so hope this doesn't cause any issues for anyone - bit of a newbie I'm afraid. If in doubt, do a backup through recovery first.

Hope this helps
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] mumboender:
Tried this...and it works, but uninstalling one of these creates an FC with the bluetooth settings, I can no longer connect my bluetooth headset. I reinstalled both files and bluetooth works again....
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] richard1075:
Change back to Phone UI

Will this work by reversing the density values back to 213? This is about changing TO the Tablet UI. Found in a Google search.

1. Install a file explorer app such as ES File Explorer and enable the app’s root access option.

2. In ES File Explorer, for example, go to Settings and enable Allow Mount Rewritable and Root Access.

3. Using your file manager app, go to /system and you will find the build.prop file. 4. Copy the file and paste it to another folder to serve as a backup file.

5. Open the original build.prop file in a text editor and look for “ro.sf.lcd_density”.

6. ES File Explorer has its own text editor called ES Text Editor.

7. The original LCD density value should be set to 213. Change it into 175 or lower.

8. Save the build.prop changes that you made by pressing the Menu key.

9. Once done, you may now restart your tablet to boot into full tablet UI mode.

This is for a Nexus 7 so the View's density may be different.

[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] CiDhed:
I'm going to have time tonight to figure out what needs to be removed from the rom to make it not use the cell radio. I removed all references to RIL in the build.prop but it is still bringing it up.

So whats next on the road to greatness of this tablet? Great job with the newest update!
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] joytofender:
Great improvement!

I haven't got a chance to play a lot with the new ROM, but so far I love it! The only minor issue is Chrome, but I just use Opera or the stock browser if bothers too much. With the improvements I've seen so far, my son will have to wait a long time before I pass this to him.

GREAT JOB!
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] richard1075:
I'm sorry, I must be blind, but I dont see a patch for switching the Tablet UI back to the Phone UI in the op. All I see is "Patch to switch to tablet UI".

Thanks Rich. I tried this and it worked, however I changed CGROM.phoneUI=false to true to get the phone UI back.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] cfoesch:
The problem has kind of cleaned up, but I removed flash, and use Browser often now. I don't know if the problem is still on Chrome. I could maybe go back to using it, to see if the problem is still there.

However, the link is right up at the beginning of this page... it's labeled "EVO View 4G Android Development"...

SD card not mounting and Recovery not working !

I was on GB (Cypher rom) and finally decided to upgrade to CGRom. I flashed after all the wiping and now my external SD is not mounting. I tried rebooting into recovery and CWM is not identifying the SD card too....it goes shows "Revolutionary" on the screen and then power button pressing gets me back to recovery menu....

How do i make SD card get identified by CWM and the ROM itself ? I cant even get back to previous Rom now...
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] AuronHTC:
Make sure your tablet is not plugged in. I discussed this bug earlier in the thread.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] jka3588:
Finally installed this over the weekend, and I love it. very few issues (3g data seems to be iffy at times, the UI seems to be slightly off) but very minor. Bluetooth works great with the ODB2 adapter I use in my car.

Thank you for all your hard work!
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] yaji63:
You mean tablet should not be plugged in when flashing the Rom ?

I' am able to see the SD card now in CWM but it does not show up in esfilexplorer...

I wiped data and cache again and reflashed the Rom in unplugged state...no change ..SD card does not show up in file manager still

I can see SD card as mounted in "Storage" and it correctly displays capacity and free space...but no display in file manager
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] yncconsulting:
Haha....I don't think u can make phone call
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] yaji63:
Here is the one issues i'm having after flashing the Rom four times over (wiped data, cache, dalvic)

USB mass storage does not work, as in, i get an option for enabling USB storage option but the drive does not show up on the PC. This was not the case in the earlier GB rom and hence drivers are not an issue i suppose...

Is this a known bug OR am i missing something....
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] joytofender:
It's working partially. Only insternal SD card works. It's explained in the OP.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] yaji63:

1. I was able to pair my Motorola Finiti and the Bluetooth in my car but alas no media was passed.

2. I tried to use navigation on 2 different programs (waze & google's navigation) and both seemed to pick up my location but wouldn't move. Every now and then it would fly to my new location but wouldn't move with me.

Thanks again for all the hard work.

Two times i had Applied the tablet UI but right now its not applied (i have not flashed) but still the UMS is not working...

So you have a completed new ROM with Phone UI and when you plug in the usb cable to pc you don't get anything on the tablet or the PC?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] yncconsulting:
I actually took some time off away from dev this weekend, for the next release I was thinking of something with less heavy development. I am experimenting with HW keys to see the best way to put them back to use without being annoying. It's actually the main reason I wanted to working on this device in the first place. I couldn't stand not having the full screen when watching a video on ppstream.

So far i have gotten both the key and light to work based on orientation, i think b4 it was that we had no light and both landscape and portrait key were on.

I want to thank everyone for your support and kind words. I just want to let you know that even though i don't always respond but your kind words have not gone unheard. The same applies to ppl's questions, bug report and feature request.

Also I really appreciate the fact that a lot of our fellow members are stepping in to help answering questions which takes a huge burden off me.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] yaji63:
Yes i have a completed new ROM with Phone UI and when i plug in the USB cable the tab gives me an option to "Turn On USB Storage" and then after i opt for it, it also says "USB Storage in use" but on the PC side it does not show up.

Right now i use Airdroid to wirelessly connect to the PC for transferring files but thats way too slow as compared to USB Storage and i would love the USB storage to work...
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] DevalB:
I think I can collectively say that we all appreciate your hard work on this ROM.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] ishyjo:
Thanks for putting together ver 2.3 YNC, it works great! Very impressed with the scrolling and how fluid it feels.

I have two issues on my install:

1) When I rotate from horizontal to vertical, I notice that the icons that fit perfectly in the horizontal position (7 x 5) don't "fit" perfectly in the vertical screen size. The first and last column are half off the screen. Is there a way to config it so the icons will fit on the screen?

2) Is there a way to use the ring navigator (slide bar) function and a pattern lock simultaneously?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] AuronHTC:
I think the hardware issue is tricky because we don't have a 4th hardware button for the ics and jb style bar (back, home, recent apps, and optional menu if app is coded by ics or jb style guides.)

The early HC roms worked around this issue by:

1. removing the software keys completely in favor of restoring the hardware keys

2. Keeping both keys active

Neither option seems like a good idea for android 4.0+. But I think its awesome you will attempt a fix. Good luck working out the hardware keys. We could use those pixels back.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] foxzhao:
加油。wish my Flyer can work as well as View asap
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] postscript:
Just my opinion here but having seen what the hardware buttons are like in JB prior to removing them, I doubt that they would be useful.

Getting the front camera working would probably be higher on peoples priority list -- not mine though. My top request would be stylus improvements. But that is just me being selfish :).

Honestly, I think the rom is otherwise near fully functional. Performance improvements and bug squashing could push it to another level -- but those are more of a long-term effort I would say.

Bluetooth working and others

Finally managed to get my 520 Plantronics bluetooth headset working. The issue was Skype. Once I switched to GrooveIP it works fine (although would be nice if there was a way to accept the call on the device).

One problem I've noticed is that when I disconnect bluetooth I can't get the volume back on the tablet - only solution is to reboot. Anyone else experience this ?

Other things that would make this the perfect solution for me are:

Front Camera (for Skype)

WiFi Tethering

VPN

4G

GPS - just tested this and works sporadically - it's almost as if it tracks in real time for a second or two, then locks up for 10 seconds and repeats this pattern

Wifi - doesn't go back from 3G to a saved WiFi profile - have to manually turn WiFi on and off

If there is anything I can do to help test these, let me know

[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] jinxmeistr:
I agree that getting the front camera to work is a good one to put on top of the list rather than the hardware buttons, if one insists on picking between the two. I have family oversees so skype is a great one to work! The rest of the list are good if you have 3G, but for those who don't, the GPS issue is something that will be a nice bug to look into. I see it lock on satelittes but I did notice how sporadic it seems.

I'm also having the battery drain issue, I have disabled HW overlays in dev section x3 days now. My battery stats show 43% tablet idle and 43% cell standby.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] jinxmeistr:
Same here - I tried hw overlay as ync suggested a few days back. It still can not get a full charge overnight. Someone mentioned airplane mode so I tried last night just to see if it charges better. THe charge went up from about 40% to 63% for 6 hours. Believe me, I've seen it worse :(. I haven't seen it fully charged in awhile. So I keep my plug-in charge handy at all times but it does take the fun out of mobile, though believe me I'm still so HAPPY with this ROM and this tablet! I'm thankful. :)

I had similar problems but resolved the issue with the help of BetterBatteryStats (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1179809).

[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] yncconsulting:
what usb device did you try? usb host should be there but I don't think this device can support usb devices that requires power.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] yncconsulting:
that's weird, but slow charging and battery drain can be due to different reasons. Are you charging with the original HTC charger? I would imaging charge with that is going to be much faster than say charge with pc using usb cable for example.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] jinxmeistr:
The original HTC charger or not - it did not help. No I don't charge by PC but straight to a power source.

I have ES Task Manager and have used their power optimizer and things like that. I also reboot a few times a day to make sure I clean out once in awhile and disable hw overlay as you suggested (as you lose that upon reboot). Though enabling pilot mode does help a little bit for overnight charging it seems. I'll do it a couple of times see how that goes.

The built-in battery app shows that most of the resources are on brightness (but I believe that's status quo). Are there utility apps out there that I can download to determine if there's a rogue app or not that's eating up my resources? Unless this is a hardware issue maybe with my charge port?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] casmi:
I know on past ROMS I never got a full charge on USB from my computer. I have used the wall charger that came with the tablet and have gotten a few full charges since this weekend no problem.

I've gotten a full charge...I put it on airplane mode pretty much most of the day and turned WiFi on only when I needed it.

I'll watch it over the weekend and keep this pattern of utilizing airplane mode when I can. Its workable. Thanks!:)
