Starting with stock rooted Honeycomb, I wiped system, data and cache, then installed the two ZIPs from the front page.

As I said in post #22, it looks like playing with the status bar settings fixes the issue.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] yncconsulting:
what about dalvik cache? It's under recovery -> advance -> wipe dalvik cache

I'm willing to help lend a hand figuring out how to get stuff working. The more brains on it the better right? Great Job though! I'm looking forward to see this fully working and will def lend a hand if you need it.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] truthkillszz:
Thats why i said ill donate when im done i should be done next pay check lol
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Antiph3d:
Installed it but had to nandroid back to my HC setup. Data doesn't seem to be working and I need my Boost Mobile 3G. Its an excellent start though and I am extremely looking forward to getting my ICS on very soon with your rom.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] mitchellvii:
I'd help too if i had a brain. Alas God made me all devastating good looks and no smarts. My albatross. :-)
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Ceco85:
Great job! We all say one big Thank you!
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] wyldkard:
You should try to get the devs from the collaboration thread involved as well if the OP is willing to let you guys help out.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] mitchellvii:
Has anyone figured out if this can be flashed over GB? The videos say HC so I did that afraid of brickage. One thing I noticed in the rom was the same odd 90% load bug on some web pages. Some pages load just fine but some others get to 90% and hang just like in HC.

Wonder if this is some sort of artifact from flashing over HC? Have no idea just throwing it out there for consideration.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] yncconsulting:
I don't think you can just flash over GB. But you don't need to flash over HC either, I think you could just flash the hboot for HC and then update. Please please make sure you wipe dalvik cache and data..... i think a lot of issue stems from that. To flash hboot, just go to bootloader and type "fastboot flash hboot <the name of hc hboot file>"
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] wyldkard:
Also, people should format/system as well and then flash and after booting, should go back to recovery and fix permission.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] ahorner:
All I can say is WOW! Great job guys! I finally want to use my View again! Can't wait for this to be complete!
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] stedounel:
A huge thank you!

Thank you guys so very much for working on this. I don't really care how long it takes to get this completely finished and fully working. I just wanted to express my gratitude, since I don't have, or can afford to make a donation, or help devs. I really feel like I got smacked int he face with this EVO View. I have not really found any rom, whether GB or HC, that really fits this device. I'm hoping that this rom will get completed eventually and be somewhat vanilla. Although this is a HTC device, Sense is a huge resource hog and I hate it! Anyways, I have dropped my line of gratitude and my useless rambling comes to an end. Thanks so much, devs!

May God Bless your lives in many, many positive ways!
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Greggd:
Downloaded and installed. Great to play with Ics on the view. Looking forward to updates!!
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Whoareyou:
Okay, well I have come to the conclusion that in this alpha,

No microphone

No video playback

No camera functionality

You have to complete a scroll, it dosent let you "fling" anything

There is an annoying red outlime occasionaly

Certain games dpnt work (only tried Draw Somthing)
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] yncconsulting:
Yeah when the system loads video data and display them on the screen, it needs to convert the data in terms of color format and size. The wrong color format was triggered thus cause the movie to have a blue tint
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] stoudamire:
I have a problem getting an FTP connection. When I try to connect to the View, I get the following error message:

550 That path is inaccessible

Is that related to the UMS problem?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] yncconsulting:
what do you mean by ftp connection? UMS is when you connect the view to a PC via USB cable and selecting "USB MASS STORAGE" on the view will mount your internal and external sdcard on your PC as 2 external drives which you open to read and write to the SD card directly.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] yncconsulting:
Uploaded Alpha 1.2

Link posted.... upload completed.

Also, please note that we lost camera support in this release. Camera App will FC when launched.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] mitchellvii:
Great!

Hey did we ever figure out what is causing the navigation buttons to appear so tiny when using an app like Dolphin Browser? They are super squished.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] AuronHTC:
I wonder if the third party camera apps from Google play will work with the alpha 1.2 release? I'll test them once I get the rom flashed.

EDIT: Well, Camera FX loads.. but the camera is D.O.A. ... Netflix is working perfectly. Thank you so much!
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] yncconsulting:
No. Don't know why
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Ravicai:
Sweet. Thanks for the new release. This will tide my wife over until her Nexus 7 arrives :D
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] rydehard86:
For anyone who doesn't know, you can get the Nexus 7 look by changing the DPI to 213. It looks really good.

How about pen support? Mine seems to have stopped working ...
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] yncconsulting:
Oops, yeah like I said, my build environment was messes up at one point thus the delay and missing features.

I have uploaded a new version.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] yncconsulting:
Hmm...maybe you could do a performance comparison when her Nexus 7 arrives?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] yncconsulting:
Anything over 170 will give you the phone look. But you lost the soft buttons which is what essentially defines ICS?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] eman3316@optonline.net:
Also, changing the dpi will mess up the play store and you will get app not compatible when trying to download a lot of stuff. A lot of the apps will work in other dpi's, you will just have trouble downloading them from the market.

I know dpi's that are market friendly are 160, 240 and 320.

Has the scrolling been improved on the new release? I tried an older release and it did not scroll threw a lot of things. You had to manually hold your finger and push the pages up...
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] j510:
Hey will there be full pen support on this? Also is there an option for an OTA update for your latest AOKP roms/ or will it in time be integrated? Thanks
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] natefuhr:
I have noticed that the nav buttons get "squished" when the using an app that does not have the ICS 3 dot menu... seems the OS native menu button appears and sends the other 3 into mini squish mode.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] AuronHTC:
A quick fix for the small menu buttons that still allows the recents action.

Settings > Rom Control > Navigation Bar > Navigation Bar Buttons

Set "Button 3 action & icon" to Menu

Set "Button 3 longpress action" to Recents

(Someone else suggested this fix earlier in the thread. All thanks to them, I'm just repeating it for people new to this rom.)
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] henningspruth:
The scrolling problem was already fixed in last week's alpha :cool:
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] yncconsulting:
Hey what do you mean by full pen support? Like having HTC notes install or fixing the pen so that it doesn't drag when you lift the pen?

OTA update? That's official stock rom isn't it? I don't know how that could be achieved, but I welcome any ideas.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] rydehard86:
I still have the soft buttons. It looks identical to the nexus 7. All apps are working as is the market. As long ad its 213 I had no issues.

That's interesting... can you post a screen shot? Also you modified this line in /system/build.prop file correct?

ro.sf.lcd_density=213
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] rydehard86:
I downloaded an app from the play store called dpi changer utility. Changed it to 213 and restarted. Notifications are at the top and soft keys are at the bottom. Wigets look better. They seem to fit the screen better.

Is there anything else you did? I downloaded the app "DPI Changer" from play and change the dpi to 213 and I don't see the soft buttons.

is this the app you installed? Also which launcher are you using?

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.innodroid.dpichanger&hl=en
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] yncconsulting:
Forget it, I figure it out. The app doesn't do anything magical. It changes the one line I mentioned in my previous post. But you to see the software bar you would need to go to "Rom control" -> "Navigation Bar" -> Select "Enable bar"

Also it doesn't have to be 213, it could be any number greater than 160 and less than 240. For example when I set it to 170 it's the same phone look but the icon looks smaller.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] boastt:
nah, not for me. Its improved from the original release, but still not right. I can't flick and scroll, it sort of rubber bands back. And like on the play store for your apps, scrolling between the "installed" and "apps" list takes an exaggerated thumb swipe.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] eman3316@optonline.net:
Thanks, that was what I was inquiring about.....Seems like it is the same as when I tried this Rom last. Might wait for that to get fixed before jumping back. Glad to see that Nextflix was fixed. That satisfies the wife's use of the tablet. Did notice that the camera is broke though...Hopefully that is an easy fix to get working again.

HC is soooooooo slow and laggy on this thing and I just do not want to go back to GB.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] AuronHTC:
The official OTA Honeycomb release from HTC is perhaps the worst software update I have ever seen in my nearly 20+ years of using computers. The project manager and development team that gave the OK for that release - filled with lag, tons of bloatware, and a copy menu from the 1980s - really did the paying owners of this device huge disservice.

At least some cool developers at XDA are helping us get our money's worth out of this fantastic piece of hardware. I'm never buying an HTC product again though.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] yncconsulting:
While i am disappointed in htc for not standing behind their product, I feel that hc is more of a mistake on google's part. Htc is foremost a hardware company so its unfair to judge them base on software. I feel that the hardware on this machine is respectable. As a software developer by trade I know how unmotived it could be to do development purely for the paycheck. What htc should have done is to contract the support and maintenance of discontinued product out it wouldn't have cost them much but in return they can retain the loyalty of their customers.

If you want to make this as close to ICS as possible;

Keep button 3 as recents

Add button 4, set as settings.

Not all apps have a settings button, but keeping this button there will prevent the squishing problem.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] munkchip:
Does the 1.2 support radio ? or still wifi only ?

Thanks
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] yncconsulting:
WiFi only. Please review the change log in the original post for all features in each release. Also like I said b4 since I don't have 3g its very difficult to develop. So it will be the last thing on my to do list if I ever get to it.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] yncconsulting:
This wouldn't be necessary in the next release.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Ceco85:
yncconsulting as you said about your to-do list can we see what is inside? ;)
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] yncconsulting:
Sure, There big ticket items which requires a lot of development and testing time and there are few minor issues which should take less time but could turn into big ticket items once I start looking into it.

Also remember that at this point the Rom is very functional and very stable. The next release will be RC1 and will not be call Alpha or Beta anymore. I think that the ROM at the current stage can satisfy most ppl's needs for daily driver. I hope to include microphone and maybe camera support as well as scrolling fix and squish button fix. At which point I will make a decision weather to continue with development as this has been taking a serious toll to my regular work and life for the past 2 months. I think I have delivery a lot in the short amount of time. So I hope you would understand if I were to take a break from this for while or even stop development as I am feeling a little burn out.

Big ticket items (The time that I have already spent on each item)

Microphone (1 week)

Camera, (2 weeks)

Pen, (few days)

Bluetooth, (2 weeks)

3g (none)

Minor Items

Scrolling issue, Squish buttons, battery improvement, Cpu OC...other bugs ppl brings up.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] j510:
Oh about that there is a dev on xda who developes for my phone at&t gs2 . He has custom ota to his latest aokp releases. I'm guessing the files are uploaded to a server and is redirected from the ota custom update menu through settings menu.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] eman3316@optonline.net:
It is obvious HTC had no clue how to develop Sense into HC. They failed hugely. If they wanted to update the device, they should have offered a Sense free version that was usuable. Instead they pushed an almost unusable HC Rom.

Hopefully we see the next update to this Rom soon. My wife is started to get pissy about her View. She is not tech savvy at all and knows nothing about Roms and Android. Her words to me the other day was what did you do to my device. It feels terrible. Put it back to the way it was! That was me going from GB to HC. So if my non tech savvy wife says something like this, how did this get past the developers of HTC!

Anyway, is HDMI (MHL) out working on this Rom? Didn't see anything mentioned in the change logs.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] henningspruth:
I'm sure everybody here is very grateful for the time you invested in this project. I am.

Have you considered setting up a community around the Flyer AOKP port to allow other to pick up the baton? For example, by setting up a github repository for it?

Am very grateful for all the work that you have put into this ROM. Gave the tab to my girlfriend and she and I both love your ROM. Thanks for all the time and hard work that you have put into this ROM. You have breathed new life into this tablet.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] stoudamire:
LOL .. I know the difference between FTP and UMS.

I prefer using FTP to access the sd card in my view as I am usually too lazy to get my USB cable.

However, never mind, it now works again.

I would not waste time on such a feature. The effort is probably too high in comparison to the small "time" advantage. The OP already mentioned that he feels a bit burned out.

In addition, there are a couple of devs which tried it out in their ROMs but went back to "usual" updates as the OTA did not work properly.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] yncconsulting:
Yes, I have. The problem is that I haven't seen anyone attempt to work on this. The last thing I want to see is someone take my hard work and make some minor change and claims as their own like what happened in Flyer board. If someone is interested and capable, show me that you are by solving one of the big ticket items I list b4. With source I posted already a capable Dev should be able to do this. I will be more than happy to pass on the baton and benefit from this.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] yncconsulting:
Ota is nice to have, I might looking into it but unless its really easy to do I probable would spend too much time on it.

HDMI? Can the view support it?

Glad to hear ftp is working for u and no GPS is not working, I haven't try after this release though
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] eman3316@optonline.net:
HDMI out through an MHL adapter works on the View. Streaming Toy Story from my View to my 55" inch right now.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] yncconsulting:
On CG ROM? Or HC?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] eman3316@optonline.net:
On HC. I did not have the MHL adapter when I tried this Rom a few weeks ago. I recently got it and have been using it quite a bit so wanted to know if it was working on this Rom.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] henningspruth:
That's understandable. By the way, the kernel source URL at the top of the thread doesn't work any more (I have a local copy just in case).

Henning
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] cfoesch:
So, question here: what changes need to be made? Just in the kernel, or? Now that I actually have a bluetooth keyboard, I'm kind of itching to see support.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] yncconsulting:
If we knew what needs to be changed then it's easy to do, the problem is that no body knows what needs to change. That's why it's so difficult. We don't know if it's the android source code that needs to change or the configuration or the kernel or the combination of all of these. I spent 2 weeks on this and the closest I have come to was to have an address assigned to bluetooth and turn it on. But none of the functions works. Searching for other bluetooth device revealed no device availble and other devices can't find the view. Needless to say that also means you can't connect since you can't even discover the device.

[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] boastt:
This release isn't compiled with bluetooth it seems, so its hard to play with it without the bluez utils. I had to manually transferred arm compiled ones last time but too lazy to do it again lol.

And how did you get past the UART not connecting to the BT? Does bluez not work with just the firmware blobs for the broadcom chip?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] CapnColorado:
I've noticed on the 1.2 release when you long-press the home screen or app drawer, it's rotating 90 degrees and won't let me add/remove anything. I think this was originally an issue in the pre-alpha, but it's seemed to come back for me. I don't think I've seen any mention of it recently.

Also, thank you so much for your hard work with this rom. I follow this thread religiously and am trying to dive in to the dev ocean to hopefully help one day.

[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] yncconsulting:
Its a little hard to explain. I took 2 approach, one is to use the Bluetooth stack code from aokp and that allowed me to turn on Bluetooth and connect to UART but I can't discover any device. Second approach is to use the old binary but that seems to cause kernel panic sometimes.

Respect to the dev - such a huge progress.

But as the 3G is essential for me I haven't even flashed it.

So I'm still on the GB.

I hope, that the 3G will work some day.

Thanks for your work anyway!

select "advanced" then select "Wipe Dalvik Cache" then select "Yes - Wipe Dalvik Cache"

After you done all this try installing again and you should be fine.

I don' know how yncconsulting feels about the JellyBean ROM that is being developed by Dexter_nlb on the other thread, but he definitely has kept me from jumping on a Nexus tablet. Thanks a lot!
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] mitchellvii:
Have tried the JB rom. It is a great rom; however, for any small performance increases I may be getting over ICS, I am losing Netflix and Flash and pretty hinky pen support. Pretty obvious to me that ICS is the better choice at this point.

* Still utterly amazed that Adobe is no longer supporting Flash on JB. I mean c'mon.

Sometimes newer doesn't equal better. I still run Office 2003, the last decent version of Office MS put out before "ribbon madness" gripped them.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Antiph3d:
You don't lose flash with JB. You have to side load the APK and then you're good to go.

This obviously isn't a competition but Dexter's JB ROM allows you to use 3g. That has been the number one reason I couldn't run YNC's ICS ROM. Personally I think Dexter and YNC should put their heads together. That would only result in more goodness for the View.
