This ROM is discontinued afaik. Dex is still working on the flyer ROM but has let YNC be the main dev for a view JB ROM.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] mad_tom:
i'm just found out:

i so stupid^^

wrong forum, wrong rom^^ ****, ofc i wanted to post that in the flyer rom - sorry
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Joelski144:
Is anybody working on this? Its been a great daily driver so far, would love for somebody to finesse it. Thanks.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] KOAO:
Black Screen.

Can someone help me out? Everytime I Flash the rom, it either bootloops or gets a black screen. Am I Doing something wrong?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] rydehard86:
This rom is no longer supported for the View. The only JB Rom is CG Rom.

Topic change

I have put a View/Flyer edition together, so one release can be installed on both, with specific boot.img and files for the devices its installed on.

of course its only tested on Flyer right now, but i am pretty sure this will be fine on View as well.

I have put a few UNCONFIRMED in the #1 , since i cannot test, so some of the functions rely on users reporting back. PLEASE DO SO , thank you.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] mitchellvii:
How is Netflix?

I agree, getting any attention at all for our poor little abandoned tablet is a huge plus so thank you :)
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Dexter_nlb:
its still no good.

it does load and you get all the way to the movie, but its only sound :(
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] mitchellvii:
Yeah Netflix seems to be a real sticking point for anything past GB. unfortunately for me. Watching Netflix is the primary use I have for my View.

Why don't you PM yncconsulting. He got Netflix working well on his ICS build and he may have some tricks you can use. Or maybe just grab his latest ICS build and see what he did.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] myowin:
just a few feedbacks

a few things I can confirm (from OP) at least on my tablet are:

Working

1) GPS works great. Locked in like 3 seconds

Not Work yet

1) Audio

2) Storage (Internal + External) (both SD partition doesn't detect by system)

3) Apps names in the drawer are funny looking.. (I mean some letters are missing.. eg: for Calender- it says "Ca-n~a", Gmail " `ma" , Clock is "C - ck".. all apps are like that.

4) Microphone

again this is for my tablet only. if anyone else have different results, please give feedback. (Yes I wiped and waited and reboot and cleaned Cache and all the fun stuffs).

Thank you Dexter_nlb for all the hardworks. it's AMAZING to see the VIEW running JB so smooth... :good:
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Dexter_nlb:
thanks for the feedback.

1) i see now that the audio/mic changes can be a little more complex to get fixed.

2) ill look into this. i am not sure which mmcblk0 partition is used for internal storage. for the external sd, i will lookup another vold.fstab and get it fixed :)

3) that is a new one. not sure what to say, since i do not see it

4) linkd to 1)
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Dexter_nlb:
updated to beta3 for VIEW. See post #1
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Whoareyou:
That is text corruption, due to heavy RAM usage reboot should fix it. :)
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] mitchellvii:
Apparently this version of JB does not support Flash. I get that HTML5 is a better standard but geesh, are they pretending that the web is anywhere close to ready to go 100% HTML5?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] OmgitzFire:
Yes the audio is working on the latest beta and playing video from MX player does work too :]

YouTube however doesn't really work playing vids , I got one video working once but not anymore .

Amazing job , I would of never thought I would see jb on my View .

Edit : YouTube videos work but only on non HD

[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] myowin:
Thank you so much. reboot after wiping out Cache did the trick. now text read normal..

just for fun if anyone run into this issue, attached pics are what is looks like..

Also the down volume + power did take a screenshot, but was unable to save due to storage card issue..
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] mitchellvii:
So far the only issues I have encountered are Netflix video not playing and YouTube HD not playing, as mentioned before.

Perhaps these are related? I will turn my Netflix quality down to Better Quality from Best Quality so that it does not attempt to stream HD and see if that works for Netflix.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Dexter_nlb:
and i might have a correction coming, which enables pen, like in the ICS (i believe), so it works, but got this 1centimeter bug around being without pressure on screen, but tablet still see it as moving around.

im checking into this, and might got a fix for it, to use the buttons so holding down a button when writing and release will get it to ignore the 1cm distance from tablet to get it offline.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] oldpueblo:
Installing, I'll let you know if the 3G works.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Ceco85:
Cool! Keep up the good work!
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] mitchellvii:
Tried changing Netflix settings preventing HD to no effect. Was worth a try but did not work.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] loni90:
wow! this is nice!

will install this as soon as i get the chance!

i know they say, no "thank you"-posts, but cant help it!

well done!
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Rimidal:
So, does 3G work? It's the most important feature for me.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] mitchellvii:
If we can get the Netflix bug figured out and the pen working this is clearly daily driver stuff. Everything on the Netflix app works except for the video so 'm sure the OP will figure it out and it looks like he has the pen working on the Flyer already.

Now we can see why he has almost 2000 Thank-you's. The man has the goods.

* I am especially impressed with how zippy web browsing is.

BUG REPORT:

Whenever I attempt to update my apps from the market I get the following error message:

"Couldn't install on USB Storage or SD card."

I do not have my apps set to install to SDCard so not sure why I am getting this error.

Anyone else seeing this?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Dexter_nlb:
thanks for positive feedback!

next,

- can you manually with a root explorer or similar see that /data/media is your internal storage?

- can you see in settings that storage is reported back for both internal and sdcard?

i have not heard about sdcard specific issues, but some apps seems to fail download and install from Market. i will see what i can do on that part.

but i know some older apps(android OS 2.x do have problems with JB.)
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] oldpueblo:
I get a roaming signal, but it doesn't appear to work. I don't recall roaming here at my house, but I haven't had a chance to test it in another location yet. I'm willing to try whatever troubleshooting tips any of you recommend in case it's something simple. For all I know it works fine and it's something like Sprint is blocking it somehow due to bad registration or whatever.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] OmgitzFire:
I as well have the issue where its unable to install certain apps from the market , something about cannot find SD card or USB storage .

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] mitchellvii:
Yes everything seems to be working properly.

** Hmm, take that back. When I try to go into /mnt/sdcard using Root Explorer nothing is there even though I know something is there.

This is kind of odd. When i downloaded a file it downloaded and says it is on the sdcard. However Root Explorer and ES Explorer both say my sdcard is not present.

Ideas?

I have a 16gb sdcard.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Shelbee6479:
No Ideas as I am having the same issue. Would love to run this as a daily driver but until I can download Moonreader and have use of my sd card card it is not an option. :( I will definately be using this once the issues are fixed. Otherwise a solid Rom Looking forward to the updates.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] mitchellvii:
Yeah my bad. I messed up. Use Root Explorer and look under mnt/sdcard. Its there.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] mitchellvii:
Perhaps it is just a placebo effect but it seems to me that the quality of the images on my screen have improved with this build. Anyone else notice this? Its like the gammas is improved and blacks are blacker or something.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] oldpueblo:
I just noticed that even though they aren't lit up, the hard keys still work. Back and Menu at least, if you slide your finger along the bottom of the bezel you can even feel it vibrate when you hit them. Not a problem per se, just an observation to be careful while holding it.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] 1454:
Awesome, can't wait to try it.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] oldpueblo:
For this ROM, what DPI would you set to get back to the phoneui? I actually prefer that on 7" devices, like the stock Nexus 7. I've already tried several from 160-213 and the only one that shows the text for the clock correctly is 160, all others have the power part of the clock on the bar cut-off. Everything else looks fine, the notification bar drags down from above, etc.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Shelbee6479:
yes but under DATA i have nothing so no internal storage at all. Unfortunately, or maybe I am looking in the wrong place?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] OmgitzFire:
The internal storage should be in data/media

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Shelbee6479:
shows nothing under Data/media so I have no internal storage only external.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Rimidal:
Got the same behavior. 3G is in some kind of roaming but doesn't work.

I'm not on Sprint.

Other than that - ROM is great. Even the hardware buttons work, but no backlight.

But I'm returning to GB. Will flash this one again when 3g will be functional.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Dexter_nlb:
thanks , i was only partly aware of the ROAMING requirement for USA. but i believe its not forced enabled in the build.prop which is normally seen on those usa mobile configs.

this can cause roaming to fail, which then leads to an easy way of testing.

i might also be that the apns conf is not valid for US ISP's and when roaming enables it does not find a valid network.

ill try to include a US apn list for the VIEW config in a new update.

the data/media is not really a visible storage in settings, and internal storage does not reflect the extra space.

the only way you can recognise this IS your internal storage, is simply by a filemanager and looking at the location and see if your files are there. (its normally not wiped by any app)
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] myowin:
Off topic, but I think this development is huge for our view. I think this thread should feature on XDA homepage and recognize our dev Dexter's work. That way more exposure can connect with more people who can contribute solutions to some issues we are having..

I'm PMing some of the forum Mod about this. Thank you Dexter for your great contribution.. :D
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] myowin:
by the way I got two calenders in my app drawer and also shown two calenders in system apps folder as picture attached. Do I need to keep both or can I delete one of them? Because I'm having double notifications.. thanks.:)
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Dexter_nlb:
remove it, my mistake, when i include gapps on top
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] mitchellvii:
The problem here is that the View is a pretty obscure piece of hardware. I doubt xda will blow any trumpets for us despite the OP doing an excellent job.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] myowin:
Most of us know video player will cause to reboot sometimes. But I find out that

1) if you are using default player and as long as in portrait mode you can hit back button and will not reboot. Landscape mode did reboot for me.

2) mx player will not reboot as long as you pause the player.

3) probably this is default features in mx, if you slide your finger left and right, it's forward or rewind and top and bottom is for volume.. I thought that was cool first time using this player..

Thanks guys..
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] cfoesch:
I am desperately confused. Currently, with ICS, I have an "internal sdcard" partitioned to 19.81 GB that is out of the memory that comes on the device itself. I separately have an 8GiB SD-Card that is inserted into the device.

The 19.81 GB partition is located at /mnt/sdcard, while the 8GiB SD-Card is mounted at /mnt/sdcard2

Would installing this remove that internal partition in favor of simply one large /data partition, wherein I am expected to place my files under /data/media?

I ask, because I came from a Nook Tablet, which only have 1GiB of internal storage available at /mnt/sdcard initially, and while others quickly found a way to place data on /data/media or /data/internal, this solution was still unideal, and even Barnes & Noble reviewed their policy, and will now repartition an owner's device to include a larger /mnt/sdcard partition on the internal EMMC.

This is a very important matter to me, because I am not willing to sacrifice the usability of the /mnt/sdcard from the internal EMMC (like USB mounting the partition on a computer, for easy, and faster transfers) in order to use this ROM, and thus I would have to know ahead of time, to hack the update script, and such in order to ensure that this important usability aspect is retained before installing it.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Dexter_nlb:
no, it should not, but it is in auto mode, which probably will mount your 1st partition.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] cfoesch:
This does not explain anything to me. "no, it should not" what?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] bacoksai:
hi there,

first of all, thanks for saving our abandoned View :good:

I'm really concern about this 3G issues on HTC View. since it's probably the most important feature for most of us.

anyway, I got my HTC View (originally it is on Sprint carrier) sent from US to Indonesia. and to make the 3G works, I paid someone to inject it with SmartFren (Indonesian carrier).

so, now I have an Indonesian number inside my HTC View (not Sprint number anymore) and able to use the 3G plan for my daily use.

my question is, will I lose my Indonesian number if I flash this rom?

note:

I've never flashed a custom rom before, so this will be my first time doing it.

I've upgraded the View from stock GB rom to the official OTA HC rom from HTC and didn't lose my Indonesian number.

I've planned to downgrade it to GB coz HC su*ks so bad. but, since Dexter has made this JB rom available for View, I'd like to try it first :angel:

Thanks.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Rimidal:
I'm also very far from USA. I have almost the same situation. I've got one of Kazakhsan 3G services. While flashing lots of times between GB, HC and JB I never lost my 3G settings. So, you don't have to worry about it.

As I wrote earlier: On this ROM 3G simply doesn't work(weird Roaming issue). But after I have reverted the tablet to GB 3G flawlessly enabled again.

So, the only thing you risk - is some amount of time spent on flashing back and forth. But don't forget about CW backups.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] oldpueblo:
I noticed the 3g signal moves up and down in signal strength, so it seems like the hardware works. It makes me hope its just something like PRL lists/ APN stuff.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Dexter_nlb:
from the previous 2 posts, i think we can agree that some people do not have the right APN configured, so if thats the case, maybe the driver is not at fault. but need proper APN setup with the details from a GB, should not be so difficult to mirror and write on a paper, or take a picture with a camera. next if you do not know how to extract the APN details, then, i might not be good to start upgrading with a less complete JB rom, which for sure needs more work. it is just started and it got some way to go, since HTC no longer even develop drivers.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Dexter_nlb:
updated to v1.3 and changes for VIEW users as well here (3G changes)

the other changes are for both versions of the tablet.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] mitchellvii:
** Had to switch back to HC for a business meeting so haven't tested 1.3. Needed full functionality for a few days.

Any further leads on getting the video on Netflix working? You were talking about doing something to remove the pen proximity bug. Anything new on that?

You know, that pen proximity bug is interesting. I wonder if the pen could be programmed to control the device without touching the screen at all? instead of getting rid of the bug, make it stronger so you could navigate with no touch. Maybe make it so when you pushed one of the pen button the effect became stronger - sort of a Kinect for our tablet?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] neuteboomt:
I am unable to get the ROM to boot. I am on the VIew with Revolutionary S-OFF RL HBOOT-6.14.5556. When I flash the rom through CWM it reboots to the boot animation. Any ideas?

Update1: I was able to get 1.3 to boot. But once it did andriod.livewallpaper crashed. I reboot and went into boot loops. I am downloading 1.2 and will flash that.

Update 2: Looks like I fup my file partition some how. Can not restore in CWM and only have boot loops.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Dexter_nlb:
remember to WIPE either before you install and in the GUI set it to wipe/factory reset.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] dancolin:
i just got the same thing as neuteboomt and i did full wipe..
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] mitchellvii:
I am assuming you were on HC before attempting to flash correct?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] myowin:
reboot issues

I have same issues with this xda friend above. i did wipe everything and also factory data reset. but after first boot it shows so many google services are failed and caused to reboot. so I went to CWM and tried to re-install again. but before CWM install finish (in about 15 secs) it reboot again and again and stuck on HTC white screen.

I also tried to re-install 1.2 but again it reboot before installation was finish. it won't let me shut off either. it reboot by it self and finally off when battery was down. so its charging now. it shows orange blinking light but I was unable to boot again yet.

I am not concern of brick but makes me wonder if we hit the wall... let's figure out why this is a major problem now.. :D
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] neuteboomt:
Yes I was on HC. I am now downloading CypherROM Final 1.1 to flash through fastboot. Hoping this will get me back up and running and past the reboots.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Antiph3d:
I'm not sure if you're experiencing the same thing I am but after 1.3 I can't even nandroid back. It randomly reboots before installing the backup.

I'd stay away from 1.3 for now people.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] neuteboomt:
That is what happened to me.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Dexter_nlb:
due to the feedback, i have removed v1.3 for now..

reason is found (sadly), the enabled rmt_storage write to flyer partitions , which somehow did NOT get replaced, when i copied the express config to the flyer setup.

partition 26 - is actually root of your /system partition (so it probably messed up files)

partition 27 - i do not know this partition config on view.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Antiph3d:
Have you found a way of fixing it? I'm guessing the Multitool will fix it but haven't I run it yet.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Dexter_nlb:
if partition 27 is your recovery, you need to flash recovery.img once again.

the /system partition(partition 26) just needs to be wiped to work normally again. most installs will handle that.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] dancolin:
boot loop

I flashed Globatrons file from his stickied thread titled

-[View]S-OFF GB to HC and back again-

did the alternative install where you rename the ruu to PG41IMG.zip and Hboot..

got me out of the loop and back to working condition..
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] mitchellvii:
If anyone feels hopelessly screwed, you can always just flash the HC upgrade found here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1409306

Lots of instructions. This will return you to clean HC install.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Dexter_nlb:
any chance you can check the download (v13a) i have removed the problem.

i will update post #1, when i got an ok for this version.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] dancolin:
ill try it.. seems the link to v13a isnt working for me though?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Dexter_nlb:
its ok now
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] dancolin:
ok just tried 13a and stuck at green HTC screen.. i did data wipe and format manually in CWM before wiping in rom install.. then i tried rebooting back into CWM and did another data wipe again and got the same result.. havent had the reboot issue yet though. one thing i noticed the first time it boot looped with 1.3 anytime i touched the data partition in CWM it would seem to instantly trigger a reboot. not sure if that means much or helps..
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] mitchellvii:
I can't as I need tablet next few days fully functional for some meetings.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Dexter_nlb:
i will probably need to do the boot.img the old way for view. so ill try and make a patch update which only is the boot.img update made the old way.

(if you can, copy the /view/boot.img from v1.2 zip to v1.3a zip thats pretty much the same and reinstall v1.3a)
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Antiph3d:
I'll install in about an hour and a half. I need my tablet in working order to keep my sanity during daughter's cheerleading practice. I'd install now but not 100% sure if 3g is working or not.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] loni90:
how do you use 3g outside of US? isn it tied up to sprint, and therefor have no SIM-card slot to make 3g work?

or do you guys in Kazakhstan have sprint too?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Antiph3d:
I think Kazakhstan is one of the few countries that uses CDMA.

I and others use Boost Mobile w/ the View in the U.S.so I assume they just "modify" things to get it working with their carrier.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] dancolin:
yes that worked.. boots fine with 1.2 boot.img
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] loni90:
OK, but there is no chance for me in Sweden to get it to work right?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] chimstar:
to get it to work on any cdma service you have to use your providers prl as long as your provider accepts the meid you should have no problem getting it to work on their service standard ota for profile unless you have to manually do the settings.....

I am interested to know if 4g still works as i have my 4g working straight from clearwire network...but if 3g works then i will flash it to boostmobile to at least have 3g working then put my clearwire back on my hotspot

anyone know if 4g works

op nice work you are the bomb! wow jb on view how sweet is that....
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] rajnicho22:
I installed 1.3 earlier today and have been stuck on boot loop. Fixing now. Confused about whether I can flash 1.3a or not? Has the Boot img issue been resolved?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] neuteboomt:
Not as of yet.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] myowin:
If there a way to power off the tablet until I can flash something? My tablet keep rebooting to HTC screen and not being able to charge battery at all... :confused:
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Rimidal:
No, we don't have Sprint.

80% of operators are GSM in Kazakhstan.

But we have one CDMA service. They just "change things" by entering their settings to almost any CDMA device(via "CDMA workshop" or some kind of other software), and adding ESN to their database. I've got no call/message service in my connection plan. Only 3G data.

It's not very fast and a bit pricey, but we do not have a lot of options.

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

Just hold the power button until it turns off (10-15 sec)
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] oldpueblo:
So from 1.2 I copied the 1.2 boot.img into the 1.3a zip, then wiped the three options and installed. Now I'm posting from my view over my 3g connection! It still shows roaming and I had to go check the box under setting that says use data over roaming, but it works. I don't know though how Sprint is tracking the usage, am I actually roaming or is it just an icon glitch? I'll know in a few days I guess when it shows my usage on my bill.
