I do not know policies and how roaming works for USA, but if you disabled roaming, no data is roamed over other ISP's (normally)

but great to know 3G is working. you can also check your APN setup and see what APN is used, this might give you an idea on roaming is used, and the "about mobile" should also tell you which isp is currently used?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Antiph3d:
OK, I inserted boot.img from 1.2 into thee 1.3a zip and installed.

Data seems to be working but it is still showing the roaming symbol. (I'm on Boost Mobile)

DL and UL speeds seems to be alot faster though.

GPS locked on in about 5 seconds and was very accurate. Downloaded GPS Test and got my coordinates from it. Put them into Google Earth on PC and pointed directly to my bedroom.

Now the bad...

Of course camera (still and vid) is not working.

Storage is still a problem.

Pen works , as does pressure sensitivity. Unfortunately a bit too sensitive as the tablet seems to read from the pen before contact is made. Forgot to use the button on the pen though so not sure if that's working.

Microphone is not working.

This Rom has SOOOO much potential. Sadly I have to nandroid back to HC due to the mic and pen issues but I can see this becoming a daily driver for alot of people very soon.

I'll also be doing another 3G speedtest when I get back to Honeycomb because those results on JB were really nice.

Another point...

The hardware buttons really need to be disabled. I find myself touching them accidentally much more now. HTC really did a good job of concealing them when not lit.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Dexter_nlb:
thanks for the feedback,

a few of the changes, PEN + capacitive buttons light and function are all better in my Flyer edition, where i made kernel changes.

for VIEW owners, im using the kernel of yncconsult for now, i have not compiled from source yet here, but i guess i need to do it now, to fix those issue you mention.

and i still being bothered by reports that storage is not working :crying: :confused:

the details used for location of sdcard and partition of internal storage are from desensed VIEW rom.

can anyone confirm settings -> storage, does not show any sdcard storage at all and ask you to insert sdcard?

that the /data/media location does NOT contain any files you know from internal sdcard (which is NOT your removable sdcard)
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] oldpueblo:
My external SD card works, what doesn't work is the internal tablet storage. The internal part that is sectioned off from the actual OS portion that acts like an SD card, It doesn't even show up under storage, but the external SD does. As well I can't mount any of those three as a USB drive when plugged into my PC, despite launching and enabling the ums app. I have been removing my SD card and using a card reader to flash the new versions on the tablet. Also I believe I did an unmount of the SD and when I put it back in it wouldn't show up anymore. I haven't rebooted yet but I assume that will fix it.

My upgrade path has been a fresh full wipe each time and am now on 1.3a. Thanks again!
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Dexter_nlb:
ok, tablet internal storage is mounted at /data/media, you can only access this with a filemanager, it is probably not even scanned during media scanner running (i havent checked) but the CM10 rom seems currently not to support in my edition (since its dhd based).

i will figure out a way to handle both location better as we move forward, still a few bumps before i can say its ok and ready for bigger improvement, so maintenance is what is happening now to keep both flyer/view up to date.

note, if your USBtoggle app asks to be granted root access, its important you allow it.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] neuteboomt:
Boots great for me! Thank you Dexter.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Dexter_nlb:
if you get a chance within an hour or so, can you confirm xda app downloads and install ok? maybe a paid app if you got one?

those were issues before VIEW got the working 1.4. (shared with v1.2)
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] OmgitzFire:
The xda app does work as well as paid apps :]

Drop box on the other hand installs fine but then fc as soon as it opens .

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] neuteboomt:
Sorry for the delay. Root Explorer and Nova Launcher Prime work just fine. Both had not issues with the SD card.

great work dexter

[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] rajnicho22:
I've flashed, but get a pop up Window again and again saying setup has stopped. Do I need to do more than wipe data, wipe cache, and wipe dalvik cache?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] neuteboomt:
That is all I did. Some simple questions, are you on a Honeycomb rom, I assume you are rooted with custom recover?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] 1454:
Dex, I'm on 1.4 and it's great. I was going to ask when I ran 1.2 if you could add in the ability to make it a wifi only tab, but you beat me to it. Keep up the great work man.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] rajnicho22:
Yes, have been on Cypherrom since it came out with kernel that turns on capacitive buttons. Have had clock work mod since I rooted and obtained s-off. Is the recovery not fully erasing everything? Should I also be using the erase setting in the aroma installer?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] neuteboomt:
Yes. Wipe and then Wipe in the aroma installer.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] mitchellvii:
Which launchers work best with this?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] bacoksai:
ok, I am very relief now after reading your post :laugh:

thanks for the confirmation Rimidal :good:

now I am ready to try flashing this rom (will download it soon).

I don't think that Sprint services is available outside the US :confused:

it's correct that the View doesn't have SIM-card or slot to be able to change provider. but, it's not completely locked with Sprint (and it can be unlocked to change providers)

few countries outside the US also uses CDMA services (including Indonesia, which has up to 5 CDMA provider :p)

well, if you have CDMA services in Sweden, I think you could make it work :good:

how great that most of you have 4G in your country :crying:

my country won't be able to catch up with that (not for another 5 years :crying:)

(I pay ~$15/month for 256k-512k download rate limited to 4Gb monthly.)

wow, this is very expensive (I think)

coz I pay Rp 45,000 (equal to $4.5) a month to get 256k-512k with unlimited download rate
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] neuteboomt:
I am using Nova. But I do not see a change in performance from the stock launcher.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Dexter_nlb:
and thats only good i guess :) finally google beats the other devs out there.

to all,

please keep up with some questions on apps and so on, looking in google, it does happen that some are not compatible.

for video playback, there is only software rendering for now. i havent figured out how to make this play with my changes yet.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] abuchison:
MIC?

The MIC doesn't seem to work. I am on 1.4.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] neuteboomt:
Question, is there a way to disable the HW keys or does this need to be done in the kernel?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] cfoesch:
This ROM does not appear to include bash. Is this something that could be added in?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Dexter_nlb:
its a hardware thing, i will work on the VIEW kernel as soon as i finish up on the changes to the pen driver.

it will fix buttons and pen driver and some other small stuff i prefer having included.

i believe you can extract from another rom and add to the zip before you install?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] cfoesch:
So, that's a "no, I'm not going to add it, even though it is the single most commonly used shell in the world, and would only add like 277KB to the zipped binary...."
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] j510:
K cool. You act like people have to cater to your needs. Make your own rom, you make it sound so easy. Now I think its about that time where you stop being a nuisance.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] cfoesch:
It's not my needs... it's like asking "are you considering including ssh, su, or nano?" ... As for "so easy" from where you stand, it is... just dump the file in the zip.

I already have a zip that I uncompress ontop of my ROM installs to include a bunch of special stuff that I don't see anyone else really giving a crap about. (Namely, tons of vim stuff that most people don't really have any use for.) The difference between me just having a .zip install with a bunch of binaries and everything is that: bash is perhaps the single most widely used shell out there.

So, I'm not asking you to include random thing number #4738 that I and only I will ever use. I'm asking you if you could please include THE MOST WIDELY USED SHELL OUT THERE. To me, this is not an unreasonable request, considering that it's minimal cost to your production, and involves plopping down a binary, and maybe a library or two.

After all, CM7, and CM9 include "bash" by default as well. The non-inclusion of "bash" is in fact a conspicuous oddity about your ROM.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] thewadegeek:
Kinda arrogant there dude? If you really need bash you know how to install it yourself.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] cfoesch:
I know how to install it myself. I made a rootkit for the nook tablet... but the matter is not one of if I know how to install it myself or not. It's a question of: "every other ROM includes bash... I have noticed that it is a conspicuous omission in this ROM. Would you consider adding it in?"
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] wolfpack612:
i don't think that's what he meant. you asked if it's something that could be added in, like if it's something simple for yourself to do, and he answered that yea you can. maybe you should've worded your question differently cause it sounded like you didn't have a clue when in reality you do.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] wolfpack612:
<delete>
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] cfoesch:
Sorry, sometimes, being female, you are forced to be very round-about with asking for things. It becomes an inbuilt habit. I've grown a bit out of my F/OSS world of being blunt, and aggressive, which would have been "this ROM doesn't include bash, what kind of piece of **** is this?" ... I think we can all generally agree that it would be for the best, if generally everyone started taking the more tactful route than the ESR route...
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] jayochs:
seriously? women in today's society don't need to be blunt or aggressive to get what they want from men.

anyway, that's beside the point. your post was worded horribly, and it makes you sound like a real asshat. you could've been less angry sounding and sarcastic and still gotten your point across.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] mitchellvii:
Hey guys. Coming from some experience in such things I recommend you take these personal battles to PM. It doesn't move the thread forward and nobody else cares.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] cfoesch:
Hm... let's see here... my original post was. "This ROM does not appear to include bash. Is this something that could be added in?"

Yes, indeed, that was horribly worded, and makes me sound like a real asshat. I totally agree with everything you say. #sarcasm
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Dexter_nlb:
lets just close that topic, ill add your bash in xbin, and that should do it.

end of offtopic discussion.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Dexter_nlb:
i have tried to put a VIEW kernel together with my changes.

Can someone who can or willing to revert to original , if it fails,

test this zip and install on top of v1.4?

thanks.

v1.4-p1 kernel PATCH only for v1.4 (VIEW ONLY) DextersJB14-view-p1 Install on top of v1.4 install (no need for wipe or factory reset)
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] neuteboomt:
I wiped dev an cache and flashed the patch over v1.4. On first boot it gave me a black screen after the HTC boot screen.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Dexter_nlb:
you happen to notice, if ADB got enabled? are you connected to a pc?

so black screen but no animation.. hmm.

uploading ver2 of the kernel with different compile options.

ok,

forget the next test.. im wrong.. options are missing!! sorry.

ill prepare a new kernel for later.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] neuteboomt:
I added the update to the SD card and flashed it through recovery. Did bot connect the View to the PC.

I dirty flashed v1.4 and it booted just fine. Let me know if you would like anything tested. If this one breaks I can always grab another.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Dexter_nlb:
thanks,

i just figured out that parts are missing in the view kernel i got.

i need to add some more code before it will work.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Dexter_nlb:
ok,

i made a new edition with the display driver changes.

please use the existing download link and get the update.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] neuteboomt:
Booting! It looks like you disabled the HW keys (thank you). When the screen goes off, it goes off.

Edit:When accessing Gallery or any app that is directed to the SD card it states" No external storage available.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Dexter_nlb:
Nice,

so kernel is ok, thats step 1.

any chance you can download papyrus from Play, and test if the pen works like we assume it should now? at least that it works.

and thanks, for the testing.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] neuteboomt:
Since the app can not access the SD card it will not open a new note. I installed Sketchbook mobile and the pen did not work with it.

Also, I am glad to help.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Dexter_nlb:
with sketchbook you have to enable active pen, it is not default as i remember the beta i tested and so with pressure in that app too.

you can already control the display with the pen, right? and click?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] neuteboomt:
Scratch that, The pen's batteries must have been dead. I found another one and it works including pressure.

Edit: When using the browser pinch to zoom no longer works.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Dexter_nlb:
thanks for confirmations.

I can say, that i adapted the camera work of Chaos to this rom, and i believe it works. but still got the same recording bug as in the ics release.

LGCamera app seems to work differently and often a good alternative , so it might help and some media profiles needs to be configured as well.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] neuteboomt:
I wanted to do a clean install with the latest patch and this is my finding.

First I wiped everything and installed v1.4 but did not reboot after install. I went back into recovery and flashed the patch. once I rebooted the View it would get to where you type your name when setting up JB and freeze. A reboot would freeze at the same place.

So I wiped everything and v1.4 and then reboot. Once the phone fully booted I rebooted into recovery and flashed the the patch. The phone booted but once I changed the sound setting to no vibrate and no sound and then to System to change font size to small I was not able to select "apps" without settings crashing. I rebooted the View and it froze at the lock screen.

I rebooted into recover after I powered down the view and dirty flashed v1.4. Booted the view and made my changes in settings. Then went back into recovery to flash the patch. after reboot everything was fine.

The patch does break pinch to zoom in the browser.

Dexter I believe you are doing great work here! If you did not take this on View owners would still be waiting on JB. Just wanted to give you some information on the patch.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Dexter_nlb:
thanks for the feedback. and new ones :) never tried changing fonts here..

pinch2zoom is fixed and fine in v1.5 being uploaded now.

some other fixes, but read the post #1 on the updates.

ill test your other info's and report back and note, if i can replicate them.

edit:

fonts changing works fine here? (to small at least)
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Dexter_nlb:
version update

V1.5 is online.

see post #1 in linked section for changes.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] mitchellvii:
Wow looks like 1.5 is big leap forward.

I have read that we can get flash working properly if we sideload it. Is this correct? I am thinking of switching from Netflix to Amazon Prime because of the free shipping and I buy tons of stuff from Amazon. But I'll need working Flash to do that.

Any ideas?

Also I'm assuming Netflix is dead in the water at this time?

And we no longer have the proximity pen issues with 1.5. Is that correct?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Dexter_nlb:
with my own personal need for netflix, i would love to fix it. but i have spent far too much on hardware decoding and still not found the cause. so i just use alternatives :)

i have not checked flash, but yes, it can be sideloaded, and i could probably have included a running edition for next version.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] AuronHTC:
1.5 won't boot on my device. I was using 1.4 just fine. Going to try to reinstall.

Anyone else have that issue and know of a fix? This is a very good rom so far!

EDIT: Just noticed I get an "unknown volume for path" when wiping the dalvik cache before install.

advanced -> wipe dalvik cache

and the system reports:

E: unknown volume for path [/sd-ext]

Dalvik Cache wiped.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Dexter_nlb:
i have noticed this happening for some installs i did too, but then i just rerun, i do not know why it happens except you might not have chosen wipe and files are still in the filesystem.

the rest you mention is recovery, just ignore that info, its just your recovery looking for sdcard.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] neuteboomt:
I was able to get v1.5 to boot once but after a reboot it would freeze at the lock screen. I have then tried flashing the v1.5 from a fresh back up of HC , v1.4, and v1.4 with the patch and the OS freezes after the boot. Maybe the Kernel because v1.4 will boot and work just fine.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Dexter_nlb:
would be great to get feedback on, although i have not changed kernel much besides the PEN driver in v15

if you put the v14-p1 patch on top of v15 it should be ok, just old PEN driver.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] neuteboomt:
I flashed v1.5 from a stock HC image (wiped data). Once v1.5 finished (wiped as well) I did not reboot but went back into recovery and flashed the patch. The view gets stuck at the "X" boot image once the computer recognizes the View (have it connected to the USB port). Hope this helps.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Dexter_nlb:
thanks,

at least it tells me that its not the kernel, but it can be the ramdisk or something not right with vold.fstab which got changed too.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] mitchellvii:
When wiping everyone remember to wipe /system too. Many people forget that.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] mitchellvii:
Just as a sidenote, I noticed back in the GB build that the icons on the screen appeared smaller and in better resolution despite also being at 160. I especially notice this when using my Folder Organizer app. Why do you think that might be? I prefer not to change the dpi on this too much. Makes some things look funny.

You know a lot of people put the GB build down, but it actually works quite well on this tablet, especially overclocked. The JB web browsing is a step faster but overall I don't notice any dramatic performance increases other than that. Colors do look a bit cleaner and more saturated in JB as well. Of course anything is faster than HC :)
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Dexter_nlb:
JB includes a 7" hack so its running TabletUI in phone resolution (160dpi).

Google JellyBean seems to calculate from resolution and dpi, that our flyer/view is not a tablet and will normally use phoneUI.

so its hacked to think its 120dpi but still reference graphics at 160dpi.

ps, i am a little lost now on the errors with 15 for view. i still kinda come back to the kernel changes, which is not many, but i might need a tester for a kernel test.

since the previous editions worked quite ok and booted i do not believe its different from 1.5flyer now. so the kernel must be cpu triggered to freeze or something else.

if a logcat from "adb logcat" can be supplied it will be alot of help now.

adb is enabled in the current 1.5 bootup per default.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] neuteboomt:
I am trying to grab you a logcat but the computer is not recognizing the device because it does not fully boot. The only thing I can get to boot is v1.4 that is with me wiping everything including system.

I will keep trying to get it to boot.

Edit: I flashed over v1.5 after the first boot frozen. I had to reboot the device three times to get through the optimize screens (it would stop at 60 of 82 then 25 of 40 and so on after each reboot). I went through the Google start up screen and it would freeze at users name. I rebooted and decided to add my Google info instead of deciding to add it later. At that point "Currents" crashed but the device fully booted.

With the device booted I was not able to see it with my computer using adb devices. When trying to run adb logcat > /sdcard/logcat.txt through the built in emulater I would receive "waiting for device".

Sorry I could not be more helpful.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] mitchellvii:
Look in your device manager. Is your View showing up at the top? You may have to reload HTC Sync. Maybe the drivers got screwed up.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Dexter_nlb:
this might actually help.

i will make a new boot.img to flash (lets call it v15-p1)

i suspect where the problem is, as i enabled a few more governors(cpu handling).
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Dexter_nlb:
try this one, its only a kernel update.

V1.5-p1 kernel PATCH only (VIEW ONLY) DextersJB15-view-p1
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] neuteboomt:
Starting from the v1.5 I wiped date, cache, delvik, and system. Then I flashed v1.5 (I also wiped) and went back into recovery to flash the patch. The View froze at the Google boot animation after a minute ("x"). I then went back into recovery and wiped cache and delvik and flashed the patch again. This time the device booted!

adb does not see the device but I will check my drivers.

Edit: The View was sitting connected to my computer and froze after a few minutes. Screen never went off.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] wolfpack612:
i haven't tried v1.5 yet but when i flashed 1.4 it wouldn't boot and adb wouldn't recognize my device either. i then realized i didn't have the latest hboot so i upgraded and it finally booted but i still couldn't get adb. i checked the developer settings and adb debugging was off. i turned it on and worked fine. maybe it's not turning on for some of us when flashing the rom.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Dexter_nlb:
Can we talk this through PM? somehow this create maybe a little too much noise, although people can follow progress, this might be too much.

but before you read PM,

a test 2:

copy the v15 zip and call it v15-p2.zip

in that zip file , goto to the view\system\lib folder, and remove all the *.so files you find there. and try and install the v15-p2 zip again.

Unless you can get adb booting, i am really blindfolded debugging it :)
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Dexter_nlb:
anyone else who i willing to confirm that the v1.6 build is freezing?

i only got one feedback on this, and is not sure if this is unique to the case of one, or a general fault.

it can be a CDMA phone driver fault,but is not confirmed yet, so logs are limited.

even better, if someone can capture the logcat during initial bootup (before it freezes, if so)
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] 1454:
If you'll give me til tonight I can flash and confirm. But it'll be probably 12 or so hours.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Dexter_nlb:
very much appreciated :)
