[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] IDisposable:
Complete white-screen brick, followed by no ability to come back...ended up getting a motherboard swapped under SquareTrade warranty.

Done and entire contents of "internal" SD card saved on PC with the nandroid.

Are you implying that I can go directly from Gingerbread to ICS? That doesn't seem right given the OP's call for an HC HBOOT.

In theory, yes. Last time it never let me get back into recovery... hoping this time it works better.

Here's my current information:

Model number: HTC_Flyer_P512_NA

So, given all that... what steps should I really take to get this ICS installed?

p.s. I was unnerved when I was about to do the globatron GB->HC procedure because I downloaded RUU_FLYER_WIFI_BBUS_B10.ZIP [right file?:confused:] and when I ran the ARUWizard.EXE it gave me a screen indicating it was going to "upgrade" to version 1.36.0001.01 so I aborted and posted here... http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1151998&stc=1&d=1340524911

UPDATE:

[QUOTE zonggestsu private message]The version number is intentionally made lower so that when you want to go back to s-on all you have to do is run the ruu updater.[/QUOTE]

So I did the HC upgrade and this time it didn't brick my tablet... I suspect last time failed due to something wrong with the actual Flyer. That went cleanly and I immediately went to install Lisbon.

WOW is this so much better than GB! I love this. Thanks gang!
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] EpiphanyNL:
I know it's confusing, I came from a htc dev unlocked HC tab and downgraded to GB and then Upgraded to HC to later upgrade to ICS, I honestly don't have a clue what I did to accomplish that, but my guess is you need to upgrade from GB tot HC first yes.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Anosk:
Hi, I was on the same version of GB as you. Tried to flash this ICS and it just hung at boot. I then "upgraded" to HC Boot 1.36.0001.01 using Globatrons method and reinstalled this ICS and the wifi patch though recovery and it now works perfectly

Checking out the kernel now for changes in the Bluetooth driver, some rapid testing on the pen, and an attempt to permanently fix white screens.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] glgehman:
Yes, you MUST replace your current GB HBoot with HC Hboot. You need to download the appropriate RUU image from Globatron's guide here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1358758

and follow his directions EXACTLY (probably only from Step 2, since you're already Revolutionary unlocked). The Beginners' procedure is probably what you need, unless you're on Linux or Mac.

Once you're rebooted into HC, you can flash any HC or later rom overtop.

Yes, the version numbers are different (and apparently smaller). But it's 2.27 Gingerbread v. 1.36 Honeycomb. You'll be OK. You have to do it. It will work.

glg
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] DigitalMD:
Nope, you cannot go directly from GB rooted to this ICS ROM, You must go to Honeycomb rooted and S-OFF unlocked because this ICS requires the Honeycomb bootloader, radio and recovery loads and they are all different from the GB versions. Installing this ROM over GB will put in a a bad state (like New Jersey) and possibly force you to do a RUU process to get back to bootable. Follow Globaltron's thread to get to HC rooted.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] GMAN1722:
LOL.

if i were to flash this rom I would be able to go back and forth easily between any HC rom and this correct? reason why I ask is because I so much want to use this but the pen is very important to me as well

edit: I am s-off and already on hc via globatron's method

[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Cor-master:
Honestly if your already on gingerbread with revolutionary its pretty easy to get to honeycomb s-off. Its just a matter of running globaltrons s-off honeycomb ruu. Risk is pretty minimal IMO, I've already gone through the process 3 times. Just look up his honeycomb s-off thread
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] crazy cat:
Pen is working for me!!! More or less. It looks like the pen is in "press&hold" mode all the time. Not sure it´s a Pen-problem (http://forums.androidcentral.com/htc-flyer/146833-htc-flyer-pen-issues.html) or it´s the ROM. But it looks like it´s running so....nice.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] ICHAPMAN:
Curious - are these unrelated posts - or has a new update slipped out that addresses some Pen support that I can't see?.

Thanks

[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] lawguy:
The Pen is close to working. Here is a brief video. I wonder if the Pen issues are another manifestation of the touchscreen/scroll issues?

Here is a video:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FzmQ_fO-RVQ&feature=plcp
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] GMAN1722:
that's interesting. I wonder if you are referring to what I even experience on hc. even now at times I have to take the battery out (sometimes several times in and out) in order to get it to work properly. it seems almost like the pen has to re-set. but eventually it does work (it seems to be more of an issue when I am highlighting in the reader app, which I do a lot of). if this is what you mean by working for you then I am ready to give this rom a run.

---------- Post added at 04:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:04 PM ----------

thanks, just looked at the video. but my question has more to do with highlighting and writing notes in various apps such as papyrus quill and the stock notes app.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] lawguy:
I don't have those installed but I doubt they would work based on how the Pen reads input now.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] GMAN1722:
I agree. if i were to flash this rom it's just a matter of restoring my backup to go back to hc, correct? (I am currently using honeypot)
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Cor-master:
whoa whao whao wait take the battery out?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] lekhwani:
Any update coming today?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] GMAN1722:
out of the pen. sorry I should have specified that.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] lekhwani:
Absolutely correct. Just do a nand backup before flashing.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Cor-master:
Here's something weird, my HTC vivid with ics has an app installed called "pen options". There is nothing in the settings nor is there any mention of pen support for the device. But apparently there is an ics HTC app
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Cor-master:
lol I thought you meant the Flyer
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Chaosz-X:
Recompiling the kernel with new bluetooth drivers, hope it will work out, as I haven't studied on bluetooth in Android yet.

Aside from that, I will be making an app called Flyer Settings for some stuff that's being done through shell scripts now. This means it will be able to unmount the internal storage, so you can mount your external storage to the PC, and it will contain the function to automatically mount USB host devices.

And I'm doing some investigations on how to get a Cornerstone build compiled.

[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] jprednik:
Chaos has wifi only Flyer - idk if that means he wont be able to look into GSM calls or no? IOIWILLIO was tring to get it fixed - has not reported back for few days. GSM calls along with bt is a must for me as well so still x fingers here :)

Good luck and GREAT work so far!
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Cor-master:
Just out of curiosity why do you guys need gsm phone calls for? Don't you have a separate cellphone? That being said if you have a Google voice account you can get groove ip, though last I checked the mic didn't work
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] teorouge:
Nope, no separate phone (just gave my Desire as a birthday present to a friend), don't want to carry around too many devices... And since camera on Flyer is poo, I already have a separate camera in my rucksack: bt headset is just great,I can listen to my music and also answer calls, why would I need a cellphone AND a Flyer? ;)

@mcord11758 From what I can tell AOKP (or AOSP in general) does not support MHL out.

Yea been reading the same. Sounds like some have it working but with outside tweaks

Flyer
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] jprednik:
fully working flyer (atm on gb highfly rom) means no need for phone for me. flyer portable enought it fits in pockets or small sport bag ect ect and bt headset to answer your call is realy small as well. so using flyer to mess around kill w8ing moments, watch tv/movies, surf the net and yes ofc answer mine phone calls. siriusly why another device? also i only have one sim card. unlimited calls and unlimited data. so i really can use both to whatever i like. u know how retarded is to swap sim from flyer to phone? and wifi is ofc not everywhere i go... :p talking about flyer adic.... i simply love this device...

edit - teorouge what rom u using?

I never knew when mine headset wich showed conected actually worked...

eagery w8ing on this buid thow.....
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] teorouge:
Sorry for the OT, but the only issues I get is upon Flyer reboot (and I solve that pronto un-/re-pairing bt headset): otherwise, a simple BT off/on solves most of the times, so not a big issue. I just can't stand GB/HC anymore, too little homescreen estate and too slow compared to ICS and Sense4. Look forward to this ROM to try an alternative, hope it will help future Sense ports as well (yeah, I'm a Sense-addicted, could you tell? :D ).
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Cor-master:
Yeah mine is WiFi only. It fits in my pocket but I dunno how much I'd like to carry it around in my pocket lol it's a little big. It does kinda look like a gigantic HTC phone though

[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] jprednik:
Can Sence be ported into this rom? Or has to be rom with sence and then modified?

This one with BT and phone funcitonalities is already a wet dream for me anyhow lol.

Again GL to u Chaos and i hope next days until your vacations r gona be frutfull :)
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Chaosz-X:
No, it's impossible to port Sense in this ROM. Base, framework, binaries, a lot of things differ. And the kernel would require a recompile as well, since this ROM uses pure android WiFi drivers, where Sense ROMs use a custom version.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Chaosz-X:
I think I'm pretty close to bluetooth, and mounting is improved a bit. It properly detects the internal storage now as its primary SD card, trying to figure out now why ext_sd doesn't get mounted yet.

If anybody wants to help with bluetooth:

http://pastebin.com/QHiCtJuv

This is the piece of logcat that is shown when I enable bluetooth with the new kernel I'm using now. It seems to be an error more people encounter, but I haven't figured out the issue yet.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] aviatorboy:
help me, help you

here is where I am. I have carefully followed all your instructions on the OP. I'm properly rooted (not with HTC) i think its Globatron or Revolutionary, can't remember now. Anyway after installing 1.1 LisbON I managed to mount, as I had followed your instructions, however on the second time i mounted bye bye, it wouldn't mount. I rebooted many times, delete flyermounts.sh, properly gave, SU & BOOT option before tapping Run, also granted SU permission when asked. yet nothing. I wonder maybe when i created the script flyermounts.sh i'm doing something wrong?

when i run as script nothing happens, when i run as executable, permission denied. please don't tell me i'm not rooted as i know i am.

will you release a workaround to this, like a mounting/unmounting app?

expect donation soon!
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Chaosz-X:
Wait, you deleted flyermounts.sh and then created it again?

Anyway, I hope to release a new version today with native mount fixed up, so it should behave like it always did on stock GB/HC ROMs ;)
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Pfeffernuss:
And the scrolling? Is that something that can be improved? As it is right now I'm finding it very very hard to use this Rom as it is almost impossible to use directories which contains a lot of files.

You have to literally fling tens of times to reach the bottom, after which I would like to subject the Flyer to a wall-impact-test.

As swiping/flinging is one of the most used things on a tablet I consider this to be of relatively great importance :angel:
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Chaosz-X:
Have you flashed the recently uploaded build.prop which disables fling, but also gets rid of the bounceback?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Pfeffernuss:
Of course. Refresh this thread approximately 200 times a day :D

It's "better", but it's still completely unusable. IMHO, naturally ;)

I have all my apps/games in a large directory. Wanting to go to the bottom is only something you want you do when you have lots of time and the best mood in the world as it changes for the worse with every swipe :D
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] aviatorboy:
hate being a newb, but ive got other things to do as well

thats correct originally after installing LisbON for the first time i never had flyermounts.sh, so i decided to create it the script on the folder your OP suggested system>bin>here i created flyermounts.sh as a script and then gave it SU+BOOT.

But anyway if you are planning on a native mount i will wait. also please report on the scrolling issue i have read on page 20 your post "For those who want to test the new gesture patch:"

but since i'm stuck with the mounting thing i dont want to move to the other thing. hate being a newb.

although expect my humble contribution. btw, it would be nice if you publish those that have donated to you.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Chaosz-X:
There is some kind of miscalculation in the pointer data which causes a fling in the opposite direction, I think it has to be fixed in the ROM itself. We're working on it ;)
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Chaosz-X:
@Aviatarboy: you made a mistake. There has to be a flyermounts.sh (unless you messed with it yourself), and recreating the file ofcourse won't work as it contains some lines of code that mount the storage devices.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] lawguy:
Great! I agree that this is the biggest issue in the ROM.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] aviatorboy:
thank you

i will re-install everything with your upcoming update.

Bedankt

apparently i can't thank more than 8 times/day, pity...
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] :
Thanks for the great ROM Chaosz-X. Delighted to see continued effort to crush the initial issues.

Considering this ROM is IceColdSandwich based is it of any use that a new final version is uploading at the moment? HERE

What does it take to get a mod in here and promote Chaosz-X to Recognized Developer :good:
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Chaosz-X:
Wh00t, thanks for the mention, that changelog surely looks good!

compiled with Linaro 4.6.3 toolchain to fix BT issue < I think this is the most important one worth trying now

We will recompile the ROM from source ASAP. However, for this we have to wait until LorDClockaN has merged all the changes to his repository. We don't know how long this will take, so we will do a repo sync this afternoon probably to see whether we can merge the changes in our ROM.

Also, since BT might be ROM related according to that changelog, we are focusing on mountpoint issues atm (and the touchscreen is being studied).
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] teorouge:
Thanks, hope we'll achieve true AVRCP 1.3 compliance like in this AOKP. :)

By the way, anybody tried this? [MOD]Modified DSP Manager with BEATS audio. For CM9, MIUI & AOKP.(6.25.12)?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Pfeffernuss:
Beats Audio is overrated cr*p anyway. Just an equalization thing, period. Really nothing to be excited about imho.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] teorouge:
Thanks but I don't want to know opinions: I want to know about compatibility. I actually like Beats EQ, therefore I ask: anybody tried that mod? :confused:
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] thewadegeek:
Well why don't you try it then tell us? You can make a nandroid just as well as we all can my friend!! ;) Xda would be a much better place if more people were to experiment on their own, rather then just post asking others to do it for them!!
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] lekhwani:
Now this thing seems to be gaining priority.:D Actually, normal scrolling is the thing which will make us taste the goodness.and every other aspect of ics truthfully and beautifully. Rom would look more complete with this.

My wishpoints:

1. Touchscreen (proper scrolling)

2. HTC video player with SRS WOW

3. Both Cams working well

4. Pen functionality

5. Proper USB Mounts

6. Bluetooth

7. Boot Animation Fixed

8. Proper MHL video out support

Current Rom plus things mentioned above is the holy ics grail, I am looking for my flyer :D :D
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] lekhwani:
I have gotten back to virtuous rom, as I needed the flyer to work perfectly for a while.

When I was on this rom, even DSp manger was not having any effect on sound in videos. Then I installed equalizer application from market, and it was working well.

Also, there was no finicky sound in BS player, though it was there sometimes in mx video player.

And, I think this beats audio should work fine with this.

But, Currently I am looking for srs wow.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] lekhwani:
One more thing, as chaosz said he has hacked the rotation to 270 to match it with touchscreen pointers, just out of newbish curiosity, I tested -1000 for max.fling velocity and -12000 for min fling velocity, it worked about 50% better than now. (both values in minus.) I tried several other values, but none were close to it

But after doing this, apex launcher was not moving well horizontally, but we could access all the screens by home icon.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] thewadegeek:
1. It does works, just doesn't have auto scrolling.

2. Not sure that's going to be happening on a AOSP build, they aren't really compatible.

3. Nice but not really needed.

4. Meh, it wouldn't make this top priority

5. They are mounted, just not the way they were for Stock.

6. Yep major

7. Umm...I wouldn't call this critical, how often do you actually sit and start at your boot animation? ;)

8. Good luck, this is a universal problem. Some people have managed to get it sorta going from what I've seen but nothing consistent.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] lawguy:
Hee Hee. I played around with negative numbers and had the same experience.

I could get scrolling working better but that caused me to not be able to do things like flick between screens in the App Tray. It seemed to me like improvements in one area meant I always screwed up the other.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] lekhwani:
Lol. +1 on all you said.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Chaosz-X:
Alright guys, some changes are merged in the ramdisk, and this is what's happening now:

External SD-card gets mounted on /mnt/sdcard (and is recognized by all apps).

Internal SD-card gets mounted on /mnt/emmc, and will be recognized by filemanagers, and Music, and other media applications should recognize it as well (though e.g. Camera doesn't).

We can make a bind mount link between the two storage points so every app can get in /mnt/emmc as well (by symbolic linking it to /mnt/sdcard/emmc), but that would break USB storage again.

Otherwise, a symbolic link doesn't work, as both filesystems are FAT, and only EXT/Yaffs supports symlinks.

This is the clean approach in ICS, as devices such as the Galaxy S use it as well. For those who don't have an external SD and want to use the internal SD as the main storage: I will release a custom ZIP which can swap the mountpoints, so the internal SD becomes the primary storage on /sdcard, and external becomes /emmc.

Unfortunately, there isn't a better way to do this in ICS. This method is used by the AOKP ROM as well, so there isn't a better way to do it.

Oh, and USB host devices are working, I could mount my external USB stick and HTC Desire succesfully through USB to the device :)

More details on this later, now that we fixed things up here to how they should be (agree, it's not optimal, but it is the way ICS does it, and we can't work around this).

For bluetooth, I want to try a new build first with the changes in the source tree which might fix it, so that is not the priority for this moment. Working on the fling-thing now.

Edit: and tonight we'll probably upload 1.2 which is upstreamed with all the changes in AOKP/IceColdSandwich
