yeah I bought my Flyer on here a while ago with HC on it rooted I dont remember what ROM but it was all done right according to the guy I bought it off of and he was a pretty popular guy on here. I kept the HC till the CM10 port came then tried to go from that to this one (both straight flash over with fastboot flash as well as then a full wipe with fastboot flash.) I am good with adb and flashing I have never bricked or screwed up a phone before and I flashed this according to posts and now that I think about it I did get it to boot before but then WIFI wouldn't work. I forgot about that.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] ndamianou:
Anyone?!
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Dexter_nlb:
@ndamianou

i believe early on, someone posted a framework-res.apk change, so the pointer circle got deleted as graphics, which fixes it.

i do not know at this moment which graphic is to be changed, maybe search this thread on that topic?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] ndamianou:
Yes it is actually a post from 6-months ago (post #483).

and it works!

I flashed without issue on a US Best Buy WiFi only Flyer. Make sure you flash 4.1 Gapps else you may have issues with keyboard FC.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] orzorzw:
:good:Same here. My BB WiFi only Flyer is good with this rom. The apps I flashed is gapps-jb-20120726-signed.zip (for 4.1.1). For my case, GPS signal is stable (compared with HC ROMs) and TTS works well (comp. with Nexus Flyer). So far, everything runs very smoothly!! Thank you, Dexter. THis is a long-waited ROM for us, I believe. :laugh:

Sorry, i can't find the setting for showing the recently apps that still run or activate home button to show what are all apps that running in the background.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] orzorzw:
Settings > Apps, then wipe to Running (apps). Hope it helps.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] sdpinsens:
Thank you for your response to my question. but what I mean is to see the multitasking feature android apps by pressing the home button for a few seconds then appeared bars running applications.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] dcwiker05:
Alright thanks guess ill give it another shot see what happens
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] jsimonson0:
Isn't there a dedicated key on ICS and JB tablets for that function? On my 10" Acer I can't hold Home and get that to happen (took me a while to untrain myself).

Pen input slow

Another Pen-related issue (?) -

Pen input (when drawing), seems to be slightly slower than previous versions of the rom.

Anyone else noticed that? Is there a setting somewhere, or any ideas?

thanks!
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] freworld:
anybody who has flashed !

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=37833464#post37833464

Anybody (who knows the stuff) on the query posted above?

I am ready to flash this and waiting for confirmation
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] geojoking:
I do agree that the PEN input seems a bit slow but I also have a problem with this.

I paired up my Bluetooth mouse with the Flyer and everything is working great. But if I delete the pointer circle because it appears when I use the stylus, it also disappears when I use the mouse.

Any ideas how to keep it for the mouse, but delete it for the stylus?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Dexter_nlb:
i believe the issue is in the driver, to get the JB full support and still keep pressure support, it is all in the /usr/share/idc files.

i do not think the old way (using old files) will work on JB (using ICS files and type).

maybe an app on Market can add mouse pointer or remove it? (not sure what to look for)
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] dahwe:
I think that's only the case if you chose Tablet UI. I picked the Phone UI, because I like the Nexus style. With Phone UI, you'll get HW-keys(working! no SW keys on screen), but there's no dedicated key for multitasking. Neither holding the home or back key brings up the open applications. I will probably switch to Tablet UI, if there is no quick fix for this.

HW keys stay on all the time though, but I believe there was some kind of boot.img mod to get rid of that.

There's one more thing I'd like to mention to everyone who is willing to try this ROM:

If you end up with a bootloop after a clean install and your recovery is unwilling to boot, then the cache partition is probably corrupted. It happened again on my Flyer. fastboot erase cache did the magic and it booted straight away.

Time to put things back from the backups. It's smooth so far!
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] kcchen:
I haven't flashed the ROM but having a pointer displayed with the stylus would be kind of annoying. If a pointer can't be removed, any chance of using a different icon? Possibly as simple as replacing the existing graphic with a custom in the same format?

---------- Post added at 09:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:00 PM ----------

Any chance the characteristic of the buttons can be changed in the Settings - System - Hardware keys... Which may only be available in the Phone UI. I found that setting on my HTC One X with CM10.1.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] gersto:
Very nice! Was wondering I know there is no HW keys in tablet UI, but I recall you had a patch for v16 that allow hardware keys, albeit they weren't lit. Any chances on updating that patch with v18? The old one, borks WiFi in this version.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Ryno_666:
No keyboard in tablet UI?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] orzorzw:
There are two boot images in this ROM, boot.img and boot-htckeys.img. Is the latter for enalbing htc hardware keys?

R: [ROM][10-feb-13][PEN/WIFI][JellyBean/4.1.1] DextersJB

Hello Dex,I hope you'll read this: is a newer Android version (with known and confirmed fixes on bt functionality as in 4.2 and later, we're 4.2.2 now I think) to be expected to fix all the bt quirks we have for phone calls maybe? Can you rebase the Rom just to try our would that take too much effort? Sorry, would really like to get on JB but I do need phone calls... At least until I get a new big phone. :)

Thanks anyway for any insight/explanation you may give, so sad you choose an ordinary LG phone to play with over HTC's only 7"tablet (they even sponsor UEFA Champions League now,I saw that tonight, they have HTC logos everywhere, hello marketing at last!) XD

I'm also not getting any keyboards, it FC and I'm unable to make any type of inputs. No way to access Play Market or change keyboard.

Update:

The keyboard is available if you don't do the Gapp Update. (most recent date of Jellybean.) Will try to update the Gapps after I install another keyboard.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] crispy1:
Make sure you flash a 4.1 Gapps. Choose July 2012 or something similar. 4.2 Gapps will cause keyboard FC.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Dexter_nlb:
its all down to the new kernel 3.x not the androidOS release alone. with the OS comes android kernel updates and they are at 3.x and ours is really old and really not supporting anything new anymore, so porting and making anything work is not gonna work when the device is that far behind.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] PVL_93_RU:
Does it mean that if Chaos-Z succeeds in compiling a fully fledged kernel 3.0 then you'll release an update based on that?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Dexter_nlb:
honestly, i believe Chaos is capable of releasing a fully 4.2.2. edition if he get to a functional 3.x kernel. i would leave all the credits,work and a release to Chaos then. i doubt any port except a newer Sense4 would make sense to release by others :)
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] ndamianou:
I seems that the battery drain issues are there again as is the last version

I cannot make it throughout the day with minimal use
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] jprednik:
Thx Dexter for support this far. I belive if there will be something productive to do Dexter will do it - he proved that many times. Lets hope we do get something 3.o kernel related from Chaos if not this is it. Mine flyer is unfortunally stil on GB but hey all things work.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Ryno_666:
Same here.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] diamant-x:
Hi, I just updated to the latest release 18 and was happy to see that you included the apps isntallation bug fixed and used CM as base (which I prefer over AOKP).

However I see that the problem with internal storage on CM is still present. all of you use an SDCard daily on the Flyer as a workaround? none of you need default acces to the +20GB internal storage? If you solved it in another way please tell. Thanks.

Meanwhile, i'm back to V17 aokp as that is far more critical for me.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] mhkabir98:
A couple of things I noticed after extensive testing :

Battery drain is bad.

Pen has microlags which makes it difficult to use.

Screen glitches while using Chrome, and sometimes severely. No such problems in stock browser.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Dexter_nlb:
Battery is only draining if you do have wifi active always, as my days tests here shown for now. im doing a new one one 100% battery, wiped and see how it goes.

for the Pen issue, previously and in GNI forum it was reported to change the "windowsmgr.max_events_per_sec=" to a higher value.

i am not sure it is supported actually on 4.1 at all.

i can only assume that the freqency used for this kernel do not work with JB41 as it does many time comes down to a kernel, and that is why issues arise when kernel is not evolving with the release. i might get another chance to look at it and report back.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Dexter_nlb:
i got a 16GB flyer, which means i got just about 8.3GB left reported by storage, and i see my sdcard too?

when i see internal storage*2 and one external sdcard i believe all is fine in v18. can you explain in more details what is wrong when sdcard is not present?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] ndamianou:
Thanks for considering these two issues (battery and pen) - they are indeed very important and ruin an otherwise excellent rom experience.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] rayuken:
Thanks Dexter great Rom! :good:

I have the same issues in Phone UI, HW keys stay on and no dedicated multitasking button. Is there a fix for this otherwise brilliant rom?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Dexter_nlb:
about pen lag

see this post for info on lag, it seems to be a global issue, which even Samsung cannot prevent on JB

maybe its all down to the app and what app is used, ? i do not have the time to test different apps, but the ones on xda frontpage might help or not compatible?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] mhkabir98:
Wifi scan interval is set to 15.... What is the default value on HC?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Dexter_nlb:
i think 45
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Dexter_nlb:
i just tested floating draw on the v18 release, and it actually works as expected, if you look at cursor below, but if you follow the app drawing the line you see its lagging terrible, which is an app issue and not an Android OS + pen driver issue, this is more like bad app writing + androidOS +app working together.

androidOS can move cursor at the speed of the pen, but apps cannot draw at the speed of the cursor, basically thats a Operating system + apps issue, nothing i can do to fix.

if it works better with 3.2.1 thats because 3.2.1 is written with changes by HTC to getting it working when 3.2.1 never had native support. JB do, but some apps seems yet to make that work better.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] teorouge:
Dex, a question out of the blue: would you accept a money-rise to focus on developing a 3.x kernel for Flyer? Maybe Sense as well? I think I wouldn't be alone one in that.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Dexter_nlb:
sorry, No. i will probably not give development on a 3.x kernel another try (i already did when DHD got one). i failed and left it as is.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] jamus28:
In HC, setting this *lower* improved pen resolution, while too high it would skip.

Despite the lack of camera, v17 works a bit better for my needs honestly.

Battery lasts a long time especially.

For reference I can work with the screen on and wifi for >5 hours. Just make sure to have auto-sync off.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] rosrog:
Anyone Know if it is possible to install HTC stock note app unto this ROM and how? Thanks for any help.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] sushiboy:
I only notice the battery drain fast at first boot. Then battery drain is back to normal after full charge. (My WIFI is always on)

I use SmartassV2 governor / CFQ scheduler. And I use AutoKiller app to tweak some settings including tweak the WIFI scan interval.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] dahwe:
My Flyer is still wasting energy too.. This is the 3rd or 4th full charge on this ROM and it did not get better :(. WiFi on or WiFi off, no change unfortunately. Yesterday it ran flat with only 10minutes of screen on time.

The energy diagram does not show any wake locks at all, however BBS stats does. BBS (1.9.2) says the device was awake almost every second after unplugging ("other" tab), but there is not a single major wake lock in any of the partial/kernel wake lock tabs. I'm afraid this is the limit of my troubleshooting skills, more or less. (I'm out of ideas)

Edit: sorry for the screenshot being in dutch, but you'll get it ;)

Edit.2 I will try to put the right APN settings in, as the device might be trying (and failing) to connect to the 3G data network. (Red bar in screenahot). I'll let you guys know.

Edit3: the theory from edit 2 is probably busted already. It was waiting for me to enter the sim unlock code, so "duhh" of course it couldn't connect to the network. Stupid me. I will still put the flyer in flight mode for a while to check out if this issue is related to any WiFi/3g stuff.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] byukid:
Just poking around in this- is there native support for undervolting? I have noticed that generally helps improve my battery life. Going airplane mode +wifi on has helped a bunch too though, even though mine is not 3g.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] kamistral:
no deep sleep on 1.8

Hi,

I've been also hit by some battery draining bug :(

Ok, could be my fault because I used Titanium Backup to restore some games and apps - no system apps or settings...

I tried to debug that and found no App to blame - then saw in CPU Spy that my Flyer never got into "deep sleep". With Better Battery Stats I see "msm_serial_hs_brcm_rx" and "msm_serial_hs_dma" under Kernel Wakelock. Yesterday I installed Auto Airplane mode (disabling the data connection like other battery savers didn't help), and now it gets into deep sleep, battery life much better.

For me the "Auto Airplane" App helps, and here is a screenshot of BetterBatteryStats. If I can help to debug this more just tell me how (didn't see something in the LogCat, but I'm no Android Dev) :)

Edit: Forgot to mention: Bluetooth and WLAN always disabled.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] diamant-x:
Is the "bug/feature" on CM10, the fact that internal storage is not well detected.

I have no SDCard on my flyer. I install the rom, try to open gallery and "No internal storage detected" error. I read before this was impossible to change on CM new versions. Is it true? How can I work around that without using and SDCard all the time?

Thanks!

However I'm having an issue with battery status - seems it will only charge up to 46% (with no charging light) and seems to lose it pretty quick as well. It was 100% on install when I started the process and always connected via USB. Is it worth flashing again ?

but I have some bugs what you did not mention

1.mic does not working

2.I did not deactive hardkeys through kernel sources

and boot up hardkeys does't work surely but I touched hardkeys, touchscreen does't work

if you know answer about my questions,I hope you to teach me fix way (pm,reply,etc..anyway)

thx for your great rom ^^

but would you mind teaching me about mic files more detail???

Charging/Battery brain

DextersJB,

I've managed to charge to 100% with device powered off. However if I switch on Flyer with device plugged in at 0% the device uses more power than its charging and switches off after a few minutes. When charged up to 100% again it not lasting anywhere near as long (used to be days on GB in standby) and will last only number of hours when in use with a sharp battery drain curve (not so much a curve as downward spike!). Is it worth re-flashing or is this a ROM issue? otherwise its pretty darned good!

Cheers
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Kotetsukun:
Thanks for your work!

Thank you Dex, here's the history:

- Unlocked Bootloader via HTCdev website

- fastboot flash recovery CWM.img

- Flashed your v1.8 zip file.

- fastboot flash boot boot.img from /flyer/ folder

Here's the pro's:

- Bluetooth works compared to NexusFlyer. (WiiMote Controller works as well! Which means Sixaxis should work.)

- More compatibility

Here's the con's:

- When I installed flash player 11.1, flash-based apps and browsers crash.

- Tried different camera apps to use camcorder. I need the exact Flyer driver for recording videos.

- Does not power off totally, turns on after 10 seconds.

- Battery drains 20-36% Faster.

Can you fix the Flash Player issue and the front camera/camcorder driver issue? That is all.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] jamus28:
Keep Airplane mode on. Huge difference in battery life and wifi still works. Also you can set your wifi scan interval to longer.

As for flash, I can't totally answer for dexter, but I believe it's related to the HW rendering issue. The only way to get flash to work currently is to use Penguin browser.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Dexter_nlb:
settings wifi to never, also helps alot, as i have it here, and currently on day 5 , did not try airplane mode

there is a timeout on wifi interface which means it will not disable instantly but works after some minutes

the hw render issue seems to bug me, since i though flash worked early on but testing rel. 10 of this rom it was the same.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] revo2wheels:
Also noticed on lock screen - accidentally touching emergency call causes device to reboot.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Kotetsukun:
BTW

Thanks jamus28, I have airplane mode on all along. But the battery life still drains faster than the stock honeycomb rom, like 12% now. I'm using the Wi-Fi only Tablet.

By the way, I'm using ADW Launcher EX 1.3.3.8, because it's smoother. I also have installed UCCW to make the Sense Clock Widget to look like the One X home screen, so my launcher looks like HTC Sense stock from Honeycomb, with a mix of One X elements. Oh and one thing, I got rid of OI file manager and replace with ES File Manager. Also, I'm planning to get Penguin Browser to test flash player.

Also, there is a reason why my battery is draining, When my tablet goes to sleep, it goes to sleep with the screen kept on. It's bugging me, guys. So I kept pressing power button again until the screen really turns off.

Hey, One more thing, not to be offensive, but which is better, Dexter's JB v1.8, or NexusFlyer v1.2? I haven't flashed NFv1.2 yet and my CWM is broken. If I don't like it, then what should I do? Hope I'd brick it after flashing your ROM again...

---------- Post added at 02:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:09 PM ----------

Oh, and my battery became more efficient by tweaking the Battery Tweaks with PimpMyRom. It should drain at a previous pace as the stock Honeycomb. I accidentally uninstalled PmR for well.... one reason: Bootloops. I HATE THEM!
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] sushiboy:
Chrome browser has a new update on 2/27. This version has no problem with DexterJB. :)
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] abit late:
Shame about the rapid battery drain, otherwise this is a great ROM. Many thanks Dexter :good:
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Dexter_nlb:
no problems here.. 7d and 7hrs going forward, still 49% battery left. (as proof of battery leak issue being none)

if you got problems it is the apps you use, that got a problem, operating system and JB do not have any issue on Flyer on this release.

remember as always fix the wifi to sleep when screen goes off, or you WILL have battery issues leaving it on for 24/7. and the "flight on" might help too.

attached snapshot to document my saying here
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] oesjmr:
Thanks for the info! I tried it out and it does work, but is a bit slugish for me. I think I'll stick with Dolphin for now.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] mhkabir98:
It seems that the camera cannot focus... Which is leading to very bad image quality. Different apps give the same result. Perhaps the focus function is broken?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] jamus28:
Weird about your screen issue. You may have a faulty install. Try wiping everything (system, cache, dalvik) and flash again.

I bought ADW EX but it never really worked well on the flyer for me. I use Apex launcher. It's fast and light

One thing we all should realize is that the Flyer is a relatively old tablet. We may have varying levels of battery decay.

Have you tried resetting/recalibrating battery stats? I know some say it's bollox, but it seemed to improve my drain a bit.

Another thing, my tablet never goes to sleep as long as wifi is on. I always hit the toggle widget before I lock it.

Make sure your GPS is off too.

I think this is the best post-HC rom. I never used nexus, but it's based on this. Yetki was much too buggy and unstable.
