Pyramid and other recoveries...

"Pyramid" is the Build.Prop code for the HTC Sensation. This MOD spoofs the phone in the Google Playstore to unlock more apps and games download capability. I have seen that there are issues in other Recoveries while flashing this version 2.0 build. I am quite sure it is because of the "Pyramid" spoof versus the actual hardware used... So for that note, this model requires Clockworkmod Touch or any GB capable Clockworkmod Recovery. I will upload a file with the HTC Evo (supersonic) Build.Prop standard settings. Or maybe re-design this build again... "But I Like It! LOL" I hope others try Clockworkmod Recovery just to confirm this. ENJOY!

Recoveries and compatibility

I am currently testing recoveries right now. If anyone is having issues with their install, please post the recovery link you are using. Thanks! I will update this post with the compatible recoveries found.

Clockworkmod Touch 5.8.0.1 ==== Works Great! ===== Link:http://download.clockworkmod.com/recoveries/recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.0.1-supersonic.img

RA-supersonic-v2.3 ========= No Boot / Won't Work - Don't think this recovery can handle the Pyramid Build.Prop.

Team Win Recovery Project TWRP Touch v2.0===== Works Great! Cool! =======Link: http://htcevohacks.com/htc-evo-hacks/how-to-install-twrp-recovery-on-rooted-htc-evo-4g/

Clockworkmod Recovery 5.0.2.2 ====== Works Great! Sweet! ======= Link: http://download2.clockworkmod.com/recoveries/recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.2-supersonic.img

If using TWRP, make sure it is the newest version. Its I updated and has the chance of Bricking removed. Juss sayin' :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] rgsgroup2005:
Thanks bro. 2nd time I ever used it. Just finding all working recoveries for this rom. Although TWRP looks awesome, I personally like clockworkmod touch best. This motoblur theme looks great on this rom and not a glitch! :)

caught in boot loop

I upgraded to clockwork touch, did a factory wipe, a wipre of the cache and davlik cache, and installed the rom. When I reboot I am caught in a boot loop.
[EVO 4G Android Development] rgsgroup2005:
Strange.. I got no issues on 3 evo's so far. ? Maybe this kernel needs time to settle in? Did you get latest version of recovery touch? Maybe need to wipe 2 times before install.
[EVO 4G Android Development] CRIME INC.:
I'm interested in trying ur update, have u tested smelkusmod recovery yet? Its based on RA, so it probably wont boot, but I thought I'd ask.
[EVO 4G Android Development] rgsgroup2005:
Haven't tried smelkus yet. But any RA hasn't worked for any of my evo's with this update. Found out cause the HTC sensation spoof MOD. RA can't handle it yet. :) waiting for another RA update to try again. I think I'll ask the Dev about it today.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Bdunkin:
Yes, I used 5.8.0.1
[EVO 4G Android Development] rgsgroup2005:
Try wiping 2 times. Think custom kernel didn't install properly. Gotta work.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Bdunkin:
ok, I'll trying wiping each one twice and see if that does the trick.

---------- Post added at 11:54 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:43 AM ----------

I did 3 factory wipes, 3 wipes of the cache, and 3 wipes of the davlik cache and then installed the rom. Still boot loops.
[EVO 4G Android Development] rgsgroup2005:
Hmmm. Did it boot for you at all? If it does, what steps have you done before rebooting? Also, how did you flash the recovery? Sorry for the questions. Just trying to figure out why your evo acting different? I might just create an SE EDITION with CM kernel and stock evo build prop for the phones that can't run this version. But first need to confirm your problem. Thanks
[EVO 4G Android Development] CRIME INC.:
Please make a version for us smelkusmod users. I'd love to give this a shot.
[EVO 4G Android Development] rgsgroup2005:
2.0 twinturbo & 2.0 se edition!

There will be an 2.0 SE EDITION Later tonight 9-14-12 PST for the devices that cannot run the 2.0 TwinTurbo with the instructions provided. The SE EDITION will have Cyanogenmods Kernel instead of Tiamat but only can be OverClocked maxed at 1113 MHZ instead of 1267 MHZ. I will run the SE EDITION with the Pyramid HTC Sensation Spoof as well to see if solves the problem with the devices that cannot run 2.0TT Series. If that fails, then I will place the stock Evo4G Build.Prop for the SE EDITION so users can still enjoy the 2.0 Series. Thanks for your support!

anyone else having problem with GPS?

when i open my navigation app it stays on "searching for gps" and my gps icon doesn't show up
[EVO 4G Android Development] Exiled44:
I had the same problem with navigation. Don't know if it was fixed in the new update but I need my navigation to work for work.

I tried new update with Smelkus recovery yesterday & kept getting caught in a boot loop. Smelkus doesn't work with new update either.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Bdunkin:
It did not boot at all. It got the the white HTC screen and as soon as it is about to switch from the white screen, it reboots.

I went here and put the PC36IMG.zip on the root of my SD and then I rebooted my phone to Hboot and installed it.

[EVO 4G Android Development] alexandroid5:
it will not flash correctly with any Amon RA recovery, you have to use clockwork, clockwork touch, or TWRP. i used TWRP and it worked, my only problem is the GPS
[EVO 4G Android Development] rgsgroup2005:
Navigation working great! I was inside my shop and forget I loose data in there in certain areas. The GPS just says searching until I walk outside towards the road then it zooms into navigation and the voice talks guiding direction OK. Navigation ok on mine. :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] gphunkplp:
I'm using smellkus recovery and works very well.
[EVO 4G Android Development] aheeejd:
I changed my recovery to CWM & rom is up & running. I was wondering if I can go ahead & change it back to smelkus mod 4.3. I mean is the cwm to flash it & boot it, or now that it is flashed & I go ahead & change my recovery, will it not boot? I don't want to change it & get stuck in a boot loop. Nice job on the rom man.
[EVO 4G Android Development] rgsgroup2005:
Not sure about that. I would assume you can go ahead and change it back but you can PM me the link of that recovery and I have no problem trying it for you since I already backed mine up.
[EVO 4G Android Development] aheeejd:
Well, I'll tell you what, in a bit here, I am going to be flashing another rom, & before I do, I'll test it out a couple of times & see if I go into a boot loop (well, I'll test it once if I go into a boot loop) & ill report back.

Hi i just i installed your rom gtr twinturbo 2.0 and i was using smelkusmod booted up no prob and everything works fine its an awesome rom btw!!

HTC Evo 4G w/GTR TwinTurbo 2.0
[EVO 4G Android Development] aheeejd:
Ok, so I flashed rom using cwm recovery & it booted & ran fine. I flashed back to Smelkus mod 4.3 through bootloader & I wiped cache & dalvik & fixed permissions & it did in fact boot back into the rom. Nice rom pal
[EVO 4G Android Development] rgsgroup2005:
Thanks!
[EVO 4G Android Development] rgsgroup2005:
That's great! Do you mind telling me which version of smelkus you used? I would like to test it as well and add it to the "compatible recoveries list for TwinTurbo." Thanks!
[EVO 4G Android Development] alexandroid5:
ok i flashed a sense rom to test my GPS and it worked and then i flashed back to this rom using SmelkusMod 4.3 and everything works now
[EVO 4G Android Development] dieselford:
I flashed with smelkus and had no issues. People just need not be lazy and wipe there phones better. I had one reboot during the automatic install of my apps from the market. Was fine after that.

Smelkusmod 4.3 sir

[EVO 4G Android Development] alexandroid5:
same here except it was after my "titanium backup" restore but everything is working perfectly now
[EVO 4G Android Development] bennyboy78:
haha woops wrong thread
[EVO 4G Android Development] Exiled44:
WOW. Just because it worked for you doesn't mean people are lazy & didn't wipe everything. I tried 3 times with Smelkus & Amon-RA. Wiped all caches & factory reset 3x the first time & 4x the next 2 & ended up in a boot loop every time. It could be a number of things as to why it didn't work for me & other people but did for you.
[EVO 4G Android Development] rgsgroup2005:
Reboot makes perfect sense. Some backup programs are probably looking for HTC Evo and instead found HTC Sensation so I wouldn't be surprised if it freaked out at first. But glad it works. :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] cvpi:
I go it to boot using SmelkusMod after wiping again 3x and then reinstalling it. I've been using it for the past hour and its still working fine.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ayamjago:
i've been trying, wiping, installing, rebooting, moving from smelkus to cwm, wiping, installing, restoring nand, bla bla and still... bootloop :crying:
[EVO 4G Android Development] dieselford:
WOW! People blame the recovery. The recovery isn't the issue. It's user error. 95% of complaints on xda are. Maybe you did a million wipes, you still have an issue. Bad download maybe? Have you verified the md5? It's disappointing that every one wants to point blame at someone's work. Smelkus is by far the best recovery available to us. I would like to see people look for solutions rather than problems. After all, that is why this is a development thread. Not a q&a or a bug report thread.

Let's help the developers! Not criticize or place blame on their work.

I miss certain features of sense when running aosp. However I enjoy playing with the latest updates of any rom. Nice job on the Rom dev! I may not use it myself, but I believe that it is a nice rom for the right person. Thanks for your contribution to our community!

twrp 2.2 compatible ?

Using twrp 2.2 and the white evo screen restarts more than 3 times I can flash other ROMs but not this one. Is it normal for that screen torestart alot before the Rom really load? Has this been tried with TWRP 2.2 instead of TWRP 2.0? Should I revert back to TWRP 2.0 flash the ROM then update to TWRP 2.2?
[EVO 4G Android Development] biga1:
I like it!! Looks great and is snappy. Battery life is better than average. Audio is awesome and ICS camera is nice... I did have boot up issue at first as reported by others. Using latest Smelkus Recovery. Stuck on white screen and had to do a battery pull. Cleared caches and voila!! Then had issues with apps loading from TB. Cleared caches in recovery and fixed permissions. Standard fixes for bootloops and fc's. Take your time and you will be rewarded. Good to go. 24 hours so far.:D
[EVO 4G Android Development] dieselford:
Now that is the type of post that belongs in development! Thanks for your support of the devs and using basic troubleshooting skills! Those of you having issues, make sure that your download is good by verifying the md5. Also, I tend to do a cache wipe after flashing the rom but before reboot anyway as a general rule.It may solve a lot of your issues. I never have an issue getting a rom to boot. However, I do wipe everything so many times it's disguisting. That and the after flash cache wipes have never failed me.

---------- Post added at 11:39 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:35 AM ----------

I have not heard good things with twrp. It is no longer being developed for our device. Agrabren was the guy behind most of it, but he has moved on and the project was incomplete. I do not recommend the use of twrp.
[EVO 4G Android Development] rgsgroup2005:
Thanks for that info. I personally like clockworkmod touch but should try smelkus.
[EVO 4G Android Development] robhep3:
I don't know. I've very very rarely had an issue flashing a rom. I wipe thoroughly every time and tend to only have issues with the flashing procedure when others have widely stated similar issues. Also, not that this is the developers issue but, I refuse to change recoveries just to be able to flash a rom. I personally have had flashes fail repeatedly using cwmr. I'm currently redownloading the rom and will then reattempt the flash. If it fails a second time with a known good download I guess ill be stuck on 1.6 until the issues with smelkus are resolved on one side or the other. Ill report back post flash...
[EVO 4G Android Development] dieselford:
I agree, don't change recoveries for one rom. Change to use the best available and least likely to fail. The most stable recovery available is my choice. Touchscreen recovery is nice. I would like to see someone like smelkus build a recovery based off twrp and finish the job! That way we can have the best of both worlds!
[EVO 4G Android Development] robhep3:
Well, unfortunately I have been having issues getting this rom to flash. I've flashed three separate times, including a double flash once to be certain there were no conflicts. I've superwiped about a zillion times and I, unfortunately, cannot get 2.0 to boot when flashing from smelkus.

Also, have been having issues when the screen/battery get around 100 degrees F which causes the phone to reboot and then bootloop. It happens regardless of which rom I'm running. I've tried with everything from myn's Warm 2point2, MIUI GB, MIUI ICS, this, and about five other roms, so I suspect it's a base phone problem. Anybody got any ideas there? I do have a spare battery that I'm gonna try here in a minute...
[EVO 4G Android Development] rgsgroup2005:
I'm realy liking the touchwized theme I dropped in this rom cause the blue glowing play buttons on my player widget matching my blue frame! Im gonna try to duplicate that light effect for the next update on the icons! There will be an optional SE edition too soon.
[EVO 4G Android Development] alexandroid5:
has anyone tried this rom with mason kernel? it should work right? :fingers-crossed:
[EVO 4G Android Development] rgsgroup2005:
Haven't tried yet but if you do before me, let me know. "Fingers crossed"
[EVO 4G Android Development] Greatness83:
I will say this is a great rom, just had a few problems. The main problem was in the market, none of my apps I had paid for didnt show up as purchased. I guess thats comes from the build prop tweaks. I tried restarting the phone, clearing cache and still the same. If I didnt have 20 paid apps then this wouldn't be a big deal

Also the good news is, I had no problems or boot loops with installing the rom with Amon-Ra Recovery 3.06
[EVO 4G Android Development] rgsgroup2005:
Play Store

Thanks. Don't know if this would help your apps but I noticed right after install for some short time for the playstore to kick in its update (License agreement 2 times). It's like its warming up or something. lol. See if that works if you get a chance. Thanks again for your help in working recoveries and you good report. :)

Glad to here that! Im trying to design this for my daily purpose too :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] rgsgroup2005:
Gonna port this to other phones too eventually
[EVO 4G Android Development] aheeejd:
As for the market/play store not recognizing purchased apps, has happened to me several times with many roms, go to "applications", then "manage apps", then go to play store & clear cache & clear data. This makes the agreement pop-up again. But that has worked for me every single time. And as for flashing, (I use Smelkus recovery mod, of course) & I wipe all but SD card, once, maybe twice. So after I wipe, I choose go back & I power off the phone for like 30 seconds. Then power back on by pressing power & volume down. This takes you to boot loader, give it a few seconds to do its thing, then choose recovery & then flash rom. I'm not going to go into details as to why this is good to do, but its from quite the write up at Tincandroid by "OneOfTheRabble". I mean basically it helps things reset & whatnot. Hope this helps people.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ayamjago:
still stuck at bootloop. i don't know what goes wrong. sorry, i'm no dev so i usually just follow the guide to the letter and have no problem. but that's not the case here :(
[EVO 4G Android Development] biga1:
are you stuck on the white screen? I would do a battery pull. Power up into bootloader then recovery as aheejd suggested, clear both caches and reboot. I hope that fixes your bootloop. good luck.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ayamjago:
no, it keeps rebooting. i've tried clear each, and then both. still boot loop

i'm using clockworkmod
[EVO 4G Android Development] biga1:
ok, we will need more details to help you. Have you checked MD5? Are you partitioned? Are you stuck on white HTC screen or droid boot screen? How long is it stuck on the screen? Give it at least 10 minutes to boot. Wipe everything 3x except SD card?
[EVO 4G Android Development] ayamjago:
i downloaded twice, checked and compared both md5 which were matched (unfortunately there is no md5 info from dev), not partitioned (trying this out as i type), stuck boot loop on white HTC screen (at least 4-5 reboots before i go back to recovery and restore), tried the wiping possibilities (3x before flashing, wipe caches after, fixing permission).

i have no problem with 1.6 though

edit....

and voila!!! i got GTRv2.0!!:highfive:

thanx man

[EVO 4G Android Development] Pre-dawn raid:
Really diggin' the rom as a whole but battery life has been horrendous for me on the stock kernel. I'm talking like 3-4 hours with moderate use on 3G! I tried changing around the clock speeds and governors with no improvement. Guess my phone doesn't care for the stock kernel. Flashing Mason G SBC now to see if that improves things. Any recommendations for clock speeds and governor type with the Mason? There are just so many...

[EVO 4G Android Development] rgsgroup2005:
Overclock at full control of the user...

It's not overclocked at all by default. You can underclock or overclock at your convenience.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jmh033089:
when I run the install I see it say something like overclocking to 1.26Mhz I think goes to fast, is it the same as 1.6Rom?
[EVO 4G Android Development] rgsgroup2005:
Yeah it supports up to 1.26 but will be just like 1.6 Rom as far as cpu settings.Hint: After install, set the governor to SmartassV2 and enjoy! It is factory set at 998Mhz so no worries. Big improvement in performance compared to 1.6 build. But I'll leave that up to you. :D

Clock Color

Great ROM! I just wanted to ask if there was a way to change the clock color on the status bar? I have tried applying the theme chooser themes and all the other icons change according to the theme but not the clock. It just stays the same cyan color no matter what theme I select. I also noticed that under status bar tweaks if I select to show AM/PM on the clock, nothing happens. Thanks in advance.

Try calibrating you battery. How old is your battery, size and brand? You would be surprised how many times calibrating your battery is overlooked by even the most experienced of users. Also, age, type and brand of battery makes a difference. I was getting terrible life until I replaced mine. I'm now running a generic 2200mA battery I found on eBay and its a night and day difference, compared to when I had the year and a half old stock battery in. The phone can last for days on battery now where before I was lucky to get 12 hours. Hope this helps and good luck. :thumbup:
