I love this rom. It can get laggy at times but Im sure it's just because I got something set wrong... I'm the first to tell ya with alotta this stuff I have no idea what the hell is going on... I figured out how to root and flash roms and soft brick my phone about once or twice a week (yes I just went way off topic) but this rom is fkin awsome :beer:

How do you soft brick your phone once or twice a week?

I would like to get my hands on that kernel, i have the sbc but not the one with fso also added. Searched for that one and found nothing. Anyone else have that kernel they might be kind enough to share with me please? Thanks.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ss12108:
I think that was just a mistake. I don't believe the latest Mason kernel for ICS has FSO.
[EVO 4G Android Development] spackmanbr:
Correct.
[EVO 4G Android Development] cityneversleepz:
Thanks for mentioning the undervolting. I always use to do that too, but recently, there have been such terrific roms including Strike of course that I didn't want to mess with something as close to perfect as this is. However, you temped me to try it and you are right, it is running without issues. I think I might be getting better battery life as well, but it is a little early (first day) to say that with any certainty. One thing I just noticed though, Since I am on a mason SBC, the battery time isn't counting anything before it drops below 100%. So this morning for example, I unplugged and lasted over two hours without a drop. Those two hours are not reflected in the time that the battery has been unplugged. Anyone else know anything about this?

edit: okay, disregard the stuff about the battery time not being reflected. It is working correctly. I figured out where those two hours went and now I feel dumb. I guess I booted into recovery to flash vipermod around that time and that is probably why it started over. I'll laugh at myself for you - hahaha
[EVO 4G Android Development] BIGJER99:
I also wipe battery stats with every new ROM flash and re-calibrate (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nema.batterycalibration&feature=nav_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwyLDNd)

You are correct, my bad I missed that on my signature edit.... NO FSO, just SBC for ICS Mason.

EDIT:

after speaking with the creator of the Mason Kernel, there is an FSO version for ICS. It was not posted for flashing, only shared with some DEVs to bake in... My setup right now is not FSO, only SBC though!
[EVO 4G Android Development] Hearnbiz:
Not sure if I used the right terminology but what I meant was I'll end up in a bootloop... Have literally been in a bootloop 3 times in the last 24 hours but luckily I know my way into and around recovery so it's never a big deal.

2 pages back. Click the VIPERMOD link in the quote to go to the OP for undervolting.
[EVO 4G Android Development] oodork123:
Yeah I found it lol but I'm not sure I'm ready to do that. I'm still learning and this is my only phone. :(

[EVO 4G Android Development] kendallc123:
It's SUPER easy! Flash the zip in recovery from the link above, go into a terminal emulator, type:

Su (hit enter)

Vipermod (hit enter)

Then choose option 2 to undervolt. Then choose option 10 to save your new settings. If you're nervous about it, just undervolt -25 for now.

Kendall
[EVO 4G Android Development] aheeejd:
Dude, it was so very easy, I stayed away for quite some time & I consider myself to know my way around the phone pretty well. Download the vipermod file, right on the top right of the screen from the link a couple pages back, flash the zip, then open TE & type su, then enter, then type vipermod, then enter & it opens up & is self explainitory (sp) . Just start with the -25 . So easy, lose your fear. I think cod tweaks were harder at first.

Go here http://vipermod.tiamat-dev.com/ & over to the right, dl the one that says vipermod voltage control. Fifth one down in the list.
[EVO 4G Android Development] MizzouBrent:
My phone is really sensitive to undervolting and I actually increased 25 with vipermod.
[EVO 4G Android Development] aheeejd:
Yeah, running this rom & when I first did it, I undervolted all by 50 & I noticed a bit of lag opening apps & whatnot so I just went in & increased all by 25, so now I'm still undervolted by 25 & it seems to like that much better. I actually saw an immediate change in opening apps.
[EVO 4G Android Development] oodork123:
Well I under volted 25% at first and it was even better. So I under volted again to 50% and random reboot and fc on apex launcher. After all that's fixed back to 25%. I will find out about my battery life when I start work. Here's my pic↓

[EVO 4G Android Development] lreyes:
Bumping this great Rom..in my opinion (not trying to start anything) is the best ICS Rom ever.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Dgsaxhitman84:
I have to completely agree! I'm no longer having issues with the ROM not booting once I goto recovery or my battery dying... I've gotta say awesome work I can't wait to see what they come up with for the next update
[EVO 4G Android Development] lreyes:
I hope its gonna be the best update an ICS ROM can have :P

One more final update... and this would b rom best ics rom for 2012 at the ANDROID awards.
[EVO 4G Android Development] billagreste:
Found this thread and have been intrigued by the Mason Kernel talked about here. I am not finding where to download the kernel "2.6.38.8-Mason- El 0.1.5-RC5-sbc" as no search gives me this version, only up to .0.1.4 at the Official Mason SIte, so I'm a little stumped. ALso, Undervolting is new to me, reading about it here the first time. I would like to know more about this and was hoping to find a intro or newbie type information on it so I can learn about it and decide if to do it. I love my Evo 4G, but I have battled battery life problems from day one and this might be the thing I need to do. 23 hours+ on a charge, unheard of on my phone. Thanks!!!!!
[EVO 4G Android Development] Raptorze:
Process?

Is this as easy as downloading the file, going into recovery, install from SD and reboot?

RAPTORZE
[EVO 4G Android Development] CRIME INC.:
Yes, but as a good rule of thumb i always wipe my caches before and after flashing a new kernel

sent using a freaking pigeon, with a note tied to its leg.
[EVO 4G Android Development] billagreste:
Yes, I just downloaded and installed zip and powered down then pulled the battery and rebooted. It came up fine. Now all I have to do is figure out how to undervolt. I'm still blown-away at the charts here for the battery usage. I don't know yet if this kernel alone will help but I am getting nothing similar yet to the battery length shown here. Anticipating tho that I'll get some help watching this thread. Wipe your old battery stats while in recovery as suggested before.

Is weather possible? Similar to aokp and carrier change?

[EVO 4G Android Development] partyman1971:
You will need to let that kernel settle in for a couple days, then you will see how well it does.
[EVO 4G Android Development] SuperiorEVOlution18:
And along with the kernels the same goes for the governors you try out as well. Whenever your trying out new ones you really have to give it a day or so to really give it a fair evaluation.
[EVO 4G Android Development] billagreste:
Thanks for that tidbit of info. It had not occured to me that kernels might be reactive like that. I've tried some governors in the settings and keep going to back to "on demand" as some of them get so slow it's hard to tell if the phone is locked. Which governors do you use? I guess the next step is to try undervolting next. I did find a link or two for installing it on the Evo 4g but they included a recovery and I'd rather not mess with installing a new reovery to get it. I'm still looking at this. Thanks!!!!!
[EVO 4G Android Development] partyman1971:
I use the wheatly governor and i am 384min/1113max. You know undervolting is pretty simple, just flash the file for it then get terminal emulator from the market and follow the instructions in the thread. Very simple.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1028322
[EVO 4G Android Development] billagreste:
Where might I find the undervolting file for the evo 4g? I ask because I do try first to find these things and often I try and find the original source. THe one I found they included a zip that had a recovery too, it just seemed not right for me to download.

I really appreciate all your kind advice!

Bill
[EVO 4G Android Development] SuperiorEVOlution18:
I also use the wheatly governor as well as its a smartass governor variety and a little bettery on battery. And the governors are baked into kernels, if your using that mason kernels it has A LOT of governors already lol. But to get to it its been a while since I ran this ROM so forgive me but if there is a performance or tweak option under settings it will be in there, or if not Rom toolbox or system tuner can get you there as well. As for undervolting viperboy has a thread here in the EVO section just dl the file and flash it. Then in terminal emulator type

su

Vipermod

And it'll run the script. Hope it helps. Just a not though not all EVOs react the same when it comes to UV so go easy at first go down by 25 and run it to see how it does. Like me I can drop mine by 75 before I get lag others get bootloops at 25 or 50 so just test the waters and always back up.

[EVO 4G Android Development] billagreste:
Wow, sorry I missed the link. Not exactly sure how I did that. I just followed it and it brought me here: http://vipermod.tiamat-dev.com/ and I've been here before but was not sure if it is the first link http://bit.ly/wpcUrZ Would that link be the one to download? It didnt' say specifically for the evo 4g like the rest are specified per model. Sorry to have to ask more specific but it's better to be safe that to brick it. Thanks again!
[EVO 4G Android Development] kendallc123:
Here's Vipermod. You need to flash it in recovery. After that, go into a terminal emulator app, type:

Su (hit enter and allow root access)

Vipermod (hit enter)

Then choose option 2 to undervolt. Then choose option 10 to save your new settings. If you're nervous about it, just undervolt -25 for now.

Kendall
[EVO 4G Android Development] SuperiorEVOlution18:
Yup that's it beat me to it. And yea definitely start with 25 and go from there as not all our EVOs are equal.
[EVO 4G Android Development] MizzouBrent:
I haven't ran any other ICS ROMs in awhile but nothing else compares to this as far as performance goes. 384-1152 Wheatley with voltages bumped +25 from stock. Yes that's right I actually increased. My phone does not care much for undervolting. Jmz has great builds and maybe they're better now but they were never this fast. Great job savoca.
[EVO 4G Android Development] devsolution:
Just wondering two things ...

1) How did you guys get your battery usage data to work? I have tried wipe x3, battery calibration, and fix permissions, still says "battery data not available"

2) What theme are you running?
[EVO 4G Android Development] kendallc123:
If you're talking about the data that displays what has used the most of your battery, then that isn't available in this rom. It doesn't show. To get the same screen as him, tap on the graph area on the battery screen

Kendall
[EVO 4G Android Development] i_m_jughead:
Wonderful rom with excellent balance of battery life and performance.

I think I really miss all the time is the auto brightness control that's in cm9 as well as Remics rom.... That auto matic brightness control with finer steps gives a very good flicker free transitions

Any suggestions on how to get similar functionality here?

Thanks in advance
[EVO 4G Android Development] Graphic Anomaly:
Hands down, best/fastest ICS Rom for the OG EVO...PERIOD! (:

Quick question...does this rom have T9 search in the dialer by default? I swear it was there, and then all the sudden one day I noticed my call log had gotten cleared (I never do that), and I could no longer use T9 search...it's just gone. Maybe it was never there to begin with. I could be mistaken, because I had been trying out CM9/CM10 rom's...which had T9 search.

If this rom does have T9 search ability by default, then I have no idea what happened...hence my asking. (:

Thanks for a great rom for us to use, and I will be looking forward to any updates.
[EVO 4G Android Development] BIGJER99:
No. It was never on the ROM, but on the list of things suggested for the next version :cyclops:
[EVO 4G Android Development] Graphic Anomaly:
Thanks...I was goin crazy. That would be a good add-in, but I'm not complaining...this thing is to fast to nitpick that. Plus, I think I saw an ICS one in the Play Store that had T9 in it...if I cared enough.

...love this rom...its actually the only one that has pulled me off of MikG...for good.

I loved MikG, but I love this more. (:

*EDIT*

I did some searching, and found THIS for anyone who might want T9 search ability...works great, and should be easy to include in the next build. (:

About a week ago and this just happened earlier this evening but wifi was working this afternoon...

Weird... I just got wifi back up and did absolutely nothing it just turned on...I've been without for about 5 hours... Like I said some of the strangest problems with this ROM but it's still amazing... It fixes it self apparently! I would love to know if anyone else has had that happen...

OK y'all I'm back at square 1 again my died completely 2 days ago and turned my phone on as I plugged in my charger and got the weirdness I got a little over a week ago again... Which was I only got as far as the HTC screen and didn't even got the boot screen :( I tried my backup I made on smelkus and same thing :( is this just my phone or is it others too? Am I doing something wrong? I didn't mess with any of the settings for 4-5 days and it was running great... My phone rarely dies completely so I'm not sure if it is my phone I was running all the settings that were preset except the mason kernel and I changed my governor to smartest v2 and my i/o from deadline to so I'm trying lionheart now and sio
[EVO 4G Android Development] i_m_jughead:
I have found that with the Mason kernel anything connected to usb causes it to just stay stuck at the HTC evo screen. If your phone is totally out of battery, just charge it without turning it ON....once it's charged a little bit, unplug and start the phone.... Let it boot completely and re plug the charger

mod version: 1.0.3

kernel: evervolv-acies 2.6.38.8
[EVO 4G Android Development] tubazeppelin:
I had this issue once on GB. Turned out Car Mode is triggered by a pin in your power connector port being either bent out of alignment or dirty. Plug in your phone and try CAREFULLY bending the connector up or down. You can also try spraying a crap ton of canned air duster in there. If you google it you can find a few other solutions.

Hey guys. Another question. The music app Apollo seems to not like the album art for my music. All other apps load them no problem. From ITunes to miui music app all work just fine . Here it comes and goes, mostly its blank, every now and then I will see a pic. How can I fix this?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Chewieez:
I've also been having issues with my Swiftkey 3 keyboard on this rom. I've been trying a bunch of things to fix it but nothing seems to help yet. I'm running Mason 1.1.5 SBC kernel, set to Wheatley Governor and 245/998mhz.

Any tips to try and fix the keyboard responsiveness. It seems to not recognize letters while I'm typing, erase whole words and sometimes close out of the blue.

Thanks!
[EVO 4G Android Development] eskimones:
Hello. I been having the same issues with Swiftkey 3 in which i do have the paid version as well. It seems from all the places i checked including the swiftkey support it seems to be a memory thing with certain ICS builds. They seem to be aware and trying to resolve the issue. What i found that works a lot better for me is put the swiftkey typing style settings to Precise , remove any old swift key versions if you have any , and clear language data under personalization. Also disable any other active keyboards you may have installed, Last but not least [yes i know at times its frowned upon] i installed Advanced Task Killer to help with apps that stay loaded in the background that you may not be using all the time eating up a bit of memory ie: google maps, google play store, foursquare , camera etc etc [pretty much any app you don't need background syncing] and it has helped with swiftkey a lot!! .. I hope it works for you as well. Its not perfect but it i can type almost as fast as i usually do without the cursor jumping all over the place or the lagg making me fustrated. For more information search swiftkey lagg on Google. [honorable keyboard mention - Thumb keyboard.. massive options / customizations if you just want to give up on swiftkey]

Lastly i LOVE THIS ROM a lot, and i am not just saying that. That's why i went through so much trouble trying to find a fix for this whole Swiftkey stuff. I refuse to remove this ROM lol. Before I found this ROM I was considering going out and paying full price for the HTC EVO LTE or Samsung S3 for that ICS experience and then i downloaded this ROM and its so smooth & as fast if not faster than the stock Evo ROM. No freeze issues and so many options. So now i will wait until Feb when my contract is due for upgrade if not wait longer because with this ROM my Evo feels like a brand new phone. Thanks Developers for all that you guys do.
