Yes, confirming 3g works. Did a full wipe, just to be on the safe side.

Sent using xda app-developers app
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Dexter_nlb:
thanks again, nice to know its in place.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Andvoid:
OK I can confirm that 3g is working. However when trying to Install

Certain apps from the play store I am getting error. Couldn't install on USB storage or SD card. Also noticed that its only picking up 8 gigs of storage.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] digimaz:
What does it mean? He

I tried to update to honeycomb..The tablet restarted and a blue android with a white triangle and exclamation mark appeared..
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] glgehman:
Assuming that you follow Globatron's procedure and flash a rooted stock or someone's custom HC Rom, then you will already be rooted. You can flash jellybean directly over that, although you should wipe data and cache. Factory reset should do it for you.

glg
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] digimaz:
Yes I followed globatron method. I after that, I tried to flash the jb directly but it would not boot and remained stuck at the White HTC screen. Then, I got it to gingerbread by flashing the official ruu. Tried to update to honeycomb but it would not proceed. Before this I tried flashing jellybean over gingerbread but another xda member told me that I have to update to honeycomb first in order to flash this rom.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] NapalmDawn:
I brought my down from HC to GB. Rooted it and sent it back to a rooted HC and allowed it to fully boot once. From there, I went to JB. I even had that ugly bootloader at first that the Revo website couldn't touch.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] digimaz:
I downgraded it back to honeycomb, and rooted and installed cwm recovery. Then I did the vote honey comb update but it would not update. it restarted with a blue logo.

Dexter, I think the key for the Bluetooth issue is in the way the Bluetooth is loaded.. have you look at the behaviour of /system/bin/btld this gives signs of life and is how your port from HTC one ICS loads bluetooth

Been playing with it a bit and it seems it is missing some elements which maybe can be found in the One port you made.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] morgoth12:
I still got the freezing issue appearing about half of the times after reboot..

Another thing:

When i use the usb mass storage share utility it seems only sdcard1 (external sdcard) is accessible from pc.

sdcard0 (internal sdcard) is not accessible...is this be design? Can something be done to fix this? Thanks.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Dexter_nlb:
already went through testing it, it did not enable, but went 99% of the way to do it.

no, its by design of hardware.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] jprednik:
ah common 1 more percent then :P
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] NapalmDawn:
Would the usage of an app called Airdroid allow you to see your SD card?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] AidenM:
I just installed this ROM, the gapps, and p1 in that order after a backup of ICS. I rebooted from recovery and my Flyer is an a bootloop? I can go into fastboot but selecting recovery will put me back in the boot loop.

I'm about running the HC RUU right now and will post back if it's fixed.

Edit: Fixed it, I'm restoring a backup of ICS right now.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] kcchen:
External SD card can be accessed as /storage/sdcard1. I use ES Explorer with root directory access enabled directly from the Flyer. Also accessible from Airdroid via the /system/storage/sdcard1.

Haven't tried, but it may be possible to create a symbolic link to the /strorage/sdcard1 via terminal.

Hope that helps.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] fabiosinus:
Kann mir jemand sagen ob und wenn ja wie man auf die SD Card zugreifen kann?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] ericvv:
Dexter, I'm going away for a weekend but another thing on the Bluetooth issue if you copy from your ICS port the libbluedroid.so the loading behaviour changes.. it messes up bluetoothd showing it can't access the D-bus..

Anyway if you copy the libbluetoothd.so doesn't work I tried, I haven't tried and copy the actual bluetoothd executable as I ran out of time but it seems a lot more hope full as I now can see the HS0 being opened successful just that no hci0 device is created yet...

Hey Dexter where can I buy you a beer or where is the donation bottom. Just wanna thank you a little for you work.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Dexter_nlb:
Just remember to press the THANKS button in the forum, thats all i ask for! Thanks for the personal consideration but the money should go to those needing them alot more, so charity is my best 2nd alternative :)
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] jprednik:
respect!
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] NapalmDawn:
Hi Dex I have a question. It might be a ROM thing or maybe a JB thing or maybe even a device thing. I have an app from TWC that allows me to watch my channels on the tablet. It recently went through an update so that the previous hacked version had to be replaced. The TWC app does a root check and will yap at you if you're rooted. I've done the items that allow it to run but, when it runs on the flyer with JB, it says that the video can't be displayed at this time. Could this be an HD video type thing? Would chainfire or anything help? At least one person has said the app works on JB (it works on ICS as a matter of fact, it WANTS ICS).
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Dexter_nlb:
if chainfire would have solved it, it would be great, but its hw decoding which fails in your case. so its a port thing.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] rico_zuares:
Hey Dexter I noticed that some developers just port ICS for the HTC DHD. They say it is fully working now. For I heard it has the same CPU maybe it could help you for our ROM.

Just a question, is there a way to get our flyer back to original to get back warranty? Maybe in the future?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] DigitalMD:
The problem is not the ROM itself, we need a fully fictional ICS or JB based kernel. Since HTC has not done one for the Flyer, the only real fix is for one of our developers to finish one. You can hack some functions to work with a HC kernel , but there is only so much a dev can do without a true kernel which supports the new OS calls.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Dexter_nlb:
let me qoute you on that , thanks and in full agreement.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] NapalmDawn:
Thanks for the info Dex. Hopefully we'll see some HW decoding as progress moves. Should have my HTC scribe pen soon and can't wait to test it.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] shirtlessrabbit4:
Make sure its the official hc from globatron not another custom hc rom! :)

I'm in...

Dex - have been holding off on this because I needed a working camera (to take pictures of whiteboards and meeting notes).

Now I can take a pic into Lecture Notes, write/draw, upload to EverNote or PDF to dropbox. Can't wait until BT works for my mini-BT keyboard.

All the tools a travelling consultant needs!
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] kudosmog:
Are you not having the problem of the pen writing when you're not touching the screen? mine has been doing that since install, and I thought it was just because it hasn't fully been worked out yet.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Dexter_nlb:
that should only be the case for VIEW users, for flyer owners, it should be working correctly and detecting when you lift the pen off the screen. (v1.6-b1)
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] kudosmog:
Ah, thanks for that. I'm using a View.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] flynmoose:
Yep - on Flyer and writing only happens when I touch the screen. If it makes any difference I am using the Fujitsu pen - not the HTC version.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] nickmgray:
Is there a fix to remove the arrow which appears when using the pen? Been using this build for a few weeks, but the arrow has started to drive me mad since I use the pen in meetings for taking notes.

Also, is there any word on when the next update will drop? All the features I want are here, but I'm hoping for a little more stability and a smoother UI.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] jsimonson0:
If the next build will connect to hidden Wifi APs I'll be happy. Right now I can't connect to the network at work, when Lisbon and Lee's HC find the AP just fine...
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Dexter_nlb:
there was posted a fix earlier in the thread to remove the arrow completely. search this thread for it.

ill see what is possible, if i can find a way to test it. otherwise, you might just try to extract the wpa_supplicant yourself from the other builds, which might resolve your issue. it can be adhoc enabled wpa_supplicant binaries which i do not think mine is.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] IP IHI II IL:
Wondering if this is the best spot for my settings icon... I mean, it gets the job done, just feels a little weird, YA know?

In all seriousness, Dexter this is really the most amazing ROM ever! It's my daily FER-EVER!

I may have to revert once I save enough to get an N7, cause my fiancée wants my Flyer once I do (she's hooked on GB, and afraid of change), but I'm gonna do my best to keep this as her daily too!

I LOVE YOU MAN!

My tab's Flyer than yours (unless this is posted in a Flyer thread... Then it's just as Flyer...)

[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] yaji63:
Below is an anomaly regarding the memory on my HTV Evo View on Dexters JB Rom 1.6p.

When i go into Settings > Storage, the display on the side is divided into two vertical fields.

The top one says "Internal Storage" > Total Space 7.88 GB, Available 7.47 GB (I guess this is where the app files reside)

The bottom one again says "Internal Storage" > Total Space 19.80 GB, Available 18.89 GB. This is the area where i' am not allowed to do any kind of write operation and where as it shows as empty even when i explore with root explorer. The same area gets the name "Tablet Memory" when on ICS / HC and it becomes accessible.

Can anyone help me with recovering this lost partition (lost as per me as i cant write a thing into it!) ? If not i may have to go back to HC and i love JB for its speed (even though there are a couple of FC's on a few apps from the market)....

Tried searching for threads for a solution but all of them talk about the external SD card but none mention internal memory (or i' am unable to find on)
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Dexter_nlb:
it might be i did something differently for the VIEW build.prop, but with flyer there is a build.prop change, which makes the SDCARD shared with 777 permissions so all users can read the files. honestly i do not know why i had to enable it, since normally it is not a problem.

i got no access here to the files, but i will check and see if the build.prop's for VIEW is missing this, which could cause the sdcard storage to be empty for regular users , unless you try with a root explorer option and you should see all files.

but let me check and report back.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] glgehman:
I got a Nexus 7. Aside from the fact that it is faster and smoother it is NOT an equivalent to the Flyer. Similar, but decidedly less. (It does, however, fit very nicely in an old Flyer folio case I had lying around!)

Their decision to omit a rear-facing camera is the major issue. I don't use my Flyer for photography; and I probably wouldn't use a N7 for photography either. What I do use a rear-facing camera for all the time is as a bar-code scanner. With a program like Shop Savvy or Google Goggles, it's really useful as a reference instrument. I have still not figured out how to use N7 that way.

And plus also, no SD card slot!

Honestly, if we had fling on this thing, it would STILL kick Nexus 7's butt all around the block.

[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] jprednik:
Dexter,

would it be posible to make pen functionalities such as u made here port to GB - example LeeDroid GB rom v 2.2? Basically so pen would work not onlly in specific programs but all ower OS.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Dexter_nlb:
i do not believe its that simple. some functions of the kernel and AndroidOS works differently in older releases. so my changes specific for this , would probably work differently in AndroidOS 2.3.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] DigitalMD:
Starting with ICS, Android included some built-in pen support, whereas in GB , the pen support was done by HTC. So what works in this ROM can't be back-ported to GB as Dexter pointed out.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Dexter_nlb:
and you answer completes it :) i forgot about the builtin support from ics and up.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] yaji63:
I meant internal storage card and not the external SD card...i hope you meant the same too.

Is there a fix for VIEW for pen writing even when it is not touching the screen ?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] jsimonson0:
Just go into the Wifi AP config and tell it to not broadcast to test. My home AP was set to not broadcast and as soon as I told it to broadcast, your JB ROM connected.

Otherwise, if you can tell me what to extract and where, and how I can apply it, I have enough nandroid backups and ROMs saved to SD to chance a minor bricking if it goes south on me.

NVM; I found a link to extracting and editing wpa_supplicant in the \system\bin\ directory. I'll grab the one in Lee's build, send it to myself, and look at the one in your build for any anomolies.

EDIT: so it's not as simple as editing the file; I'll just swap them when I reinstall your build and see how it blows up on me.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Dexter_nlb:
i already are at no broadcast stage here, i do not know what else i can do to provoke. but it has always been like this. android mobile and routers do not all like eachother
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] KaseKasimir:
Hi Dexter,

I know what to do to turn the Jellybean Navigationbar on and off for the phoneUI. But what do I have to do to get rid of the HTC Touchbuttons? They are blinking in the phoneUI with turned screen off and thats really annoying and I'm affraid that they will break. Would be nice if you can help. Your rom is my daily rom and until now I have turned the flyer completely off when not using it just because of these blinking buttons.

Greetings

Kase
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] bobeer86:
Hello Dexter.

First of all, let me thank you for this awesome ROM - been my daily driver basically since the release and it's great. Even though I hate doing it, is there any chance you could release version updated to newest cm10 sources? I am using phone UI and recent cm10 change allowed for remapping hardware keys including long presses. This would he a perfect fix for current 6 (!) nav buttons at the bottom of the screen.

Also, your old fling 'fix' would be great to have again.

Hope it's not going to be too much work to mash it up together and again, thank you for such a great release.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Dexter_nlb:
you can use the boot.img in the flyer install zip, instead of the boot-htckeys.img, and you get it disabled.

or disable them using the script in the system\etc\init.d\01-load-modules and set the 255 value to 0.

let me see what i can do about updating to a newer cm10 nightly release.

i can probably make a separate patch to fix this for those wanting my anti-fling fix, which still is not perfect. (reason for my hesitated release of a fling update)
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] flynmoose:
Patch on top of Base Install

UPDATED - I'm leaving this in case someone else has my problem - but disregard my "solution" in this post. See next post...

Dex - I don't know why I didn't catch this when I flashed this the first time but I've confirmed now that there is a sequencing issue.

First - the reason I'm at the point of needing to do this? I was using the CWM 6.0.1.1 Flyer variant found elsewhere on this board. Don't know if there is something wrong with it or possibly with my SD - but I had two CWM Nandroid backups in a row. Wanted to revert to a different backup to look at pen responsiveness back-to-back with your ROM. Bottom line - when I went to restore the Nands of your ROM, the MD5 failed. Spent WAY TOO MUCH TIME trying to repair the MD5 and in the end gave up.

So I started trying to flash your rom again. Boot loop after boot loop. In fact, something was blowing away Recovery. Let me detail what I did and then I'll describe the fix.

The repeatable problem:

Boot into CWM 6.0.1.1 Based Flyer Recovery

Full Reset & Wipe

Clear Dalvik Cache

Flash v16 - No REBOOT at the end

Flash P1

Flash Gapps

Reboot

This would cause a white screen boot loop. When I would hold down Power and VOL DWN, I could get to FastBoot, but when I would select Recovery, I would boot loop. Used Fastboot to reflash recovery. Thinking something was wrong with my tablet, I flashed a Leedroid ROM and all was well. Wash Rinse Repeat above.

Finally, I thought (after re-reading something on Leedroids HC ROM about a full boot before any patches), I should try that. Voila!

Boot into CWM 6.0.1.1 Based Flyer Recovery

Full Reset & Wipe

Clear Dalvik Cache

Flash v16 - Allow to reboot

Shut down from within JB

Reboot into Recovery

Flash P1

Flash Gapps

Reboot in JB

Perform Factory Reset to restart setup dialogue

I'm sure I'm missing something - but I just can't understand how flashing v16, then P1, then GAPPS can overwrite Recovery. But it does - I did it at least 5 times in a row.

I'm back to a "fresh" install with the patch and Gapps and have gone through the setup dialogue.

As a side note - as soon as I open Google Play for the first time - it attempts to reinstall ALL of the apps that I've EVER installed on any of the half-dozen android devices I've had/have. If I hit stop, it then says I just have 6 apps to update.

Hope the NANDROID backup works correctly this time... (I know that has nothing to do with your ROM - it was just what started this whole saga.)
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] flynmoose:
Well - think a big NEVER MIND might be in order. I continued to have weird things happening even after the system booted and random reboots. My hint that something was amiss was the inability to wipe /cache.

So I followed the advice here and wiped all mounts 3 times. For good measure, re-applied the HC HBOOT/Radio update, and changed to DoomLord's Touch-based CWM.

I am now able to flash v16, P1, and GAPPs in that order with no reboot in between and the system boots up just fine into the setup dialogue.

Sorry for any confusion. Previous post updated to reference this one.

:o
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] jsimonson0:
I pulled the wpa_supplicant from the Lisbon build and still no joy. Out of all the variables here, the only thing that has changed is the ROM I'm loading. Same APs, same Flyer, same SSID, same security. I'll give it a try again when 1.7 is available. Maybe there's something with the CM build here? I dunno, but the only thing changing is the ROM I'm loading.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Dexter_nlb:
wpa binary is not the only part of the solution, that was not correctly explained. but normally it helped.

we got libraries and you even got framework functions checking if the SSID is broadcasted or not.

i am not sure why it all fails for you. but i had no luck creating the problem here. i admit i got a signal issue, that one of my AP is not seen unless im very close to it, maybe you got a combo of signal + hidden issue?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Meekos:
Phone UI - how to get to already open apps..

Dear Dexter

I'm using the phone UI version of you rom. I like very much the curtain at the top and the original htc navigation panel on the right when in horizontal view. Adjusting the light by sliding my finger on the top navigation bar is awsome.

But...how do I reach the list of open programs? In Apex Launcher after pressing 'home', I can reach it through a gesture on the screen - it's kinda inconvenient way. And long pressing 'home' will not do the trick as it does on a regular android mobile phone.

Am I missing something I would be thankful for anyones' guidance and if I'm not can something be done about it by someone?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] jsimonson0:
I thought about that; I was sitting in my office about 2-3' from my home AP yesterday while trying all of this. Again, there's only 1 variable here; every other element is and remains unchanged in this process.

Is there difference in the theme choices that could affect wifi functions? That doesn't make a lot of sense to me, but it's the only other thing I can think of that might be different between your personal installation and my own.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Ryno_666:
I'm sorry if this is already been answered. But how do I restore my apps through titanium backup with this rom?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Dexter_nlb:
really strange, i just did some new tests, and a total wipe and i saw the issue.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] jsimonson0:
You may need to tell TB to find your backup files first, because the mount point for the SD card may be named differently than when you did your backups.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] ERamseth:
Dexter-

Great work on this ROM. I really love it. I did notice, however, that the pen input is a little laggy compared to (for instance) LeeDroid's Honeycomb ROM. Is there any chance this will improve going forward or is this just one of those things we're kinda stuck with?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Dexter_nlb:
i have looked at it, and might got some help from samsung note, since that rom had some issues too. so maybe i got some info on how to get it improved (not perfect)
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] TSGM:
Dexter and others: Between this JB ROM and Dexter's ICS ROM, which one is the more stable and the more complete? Which one will be the focus moving forwards?

I've grown a bit tired of the laggy HC ROM. Would going to JB or ICS be a viable alternative, or should I be downgrading to GB if I really want something stable, complete, and speedy?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] rwen:
Hi, Dex:

Thanks for your rom first. I have test the app "Keyboard backlight controller" and found it can solve the problem of keyboard backlight .Only need select keyboard led on and switch on/off with screen.

The app can be download from "https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.deskangel.kblight&feature=search_result"
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] foxzhao:
Hi,pls keep on working,i'm waiting for a completed version.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] rwen:
Another function,I can confirmation the screen is really off by watch the keyboard backlight. :laugh:
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Ryno_666:
Thanks I was having a very noob moment!
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Dexter_nlb:
i have not found any new major fixes, BT and video H/W decoding is still a problem. wpa hidden ap's which came to me as surprise, is being looked into. there is another dev (pravus_nephilim) which might come up with something good and better in a near future :) but i cannot promise, i just heard a rumour.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] teorouge:
Hello Dex, did you try and apply the proposed keyboard backlight app on OneXXL by any chance? Not working for me, hope you can provide feedback.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] foxzhao:
haha,I just bought my Flyer 3 days ago,I know few abt the ROMs for Flyer.Wish u good luck and thx a lot...
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] jsimonson0:
My pref is this, the JB ROM. Once I can connect at work, it'll be my full-time OS load. Lisbon is close, but the "white screen" issue every time an app updates is frustrating.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] NY_HAMMER:
Just to few questions to confirm what is NOT working:

1. What exactly is not working in BT? Just the phone functions? Does media playback works over BT?

2. Does Skype work?

2a. Does front camera works in Skype?

2b. Does Skype working over BT?

I am currently on HC ClearRom, If I would to upgrade to this ROM, should I just flash it from recovery?

Thanks
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] PVL_93_RU:
No hardware keys in this ROM? Is it better in perfomance than GB or HC?
