What are you trying to accomplish? Flashing a rom or mod in a *.zip file? Or something else?

Thanks, I appreciate it. This is very bare bones, and that's what I want. Xperia is kinda bogging it down currently, but I'm trying some different things to eventually get this more usable. But the odds for an Ubersonic type rom on 4.4 are looking fairly good at this point. :)

Just wanted to say thanks for this. Such a simple way to setup an old phone for the kids to play music, movies, and games without worrying about them calling 911. I did feel I needed to change the bootanimation, not really sure it was appropriate for my little ones. I install MX Player to deal with my videos.Seems to be running smooth. Looking forward to future upgrades.

any chance of getting GPS going?

am thinking of putting it in to the car as a bit of a media/GPS unit.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Havocwreaker11:
I was thinking the same thing. I was hoping that the GPS would work, but I haven't gone too deep into testing. I am testing the JB version of the ROM and found that the toggle wasn't around, but location services does have GPS satellites checked off.

Maybe later, I'll go outside to see if it acquires any satellites. My goal is to use it as an MP3 stereo and Nav unit for my off-road.
[EVO 4G Android Development] frickinjerms:
AFAIK the GPS and cell radio work hand n hand and since all the radio libs are gone it'll only get location via WiFi but I didn't take out the GPS module lib so maybe under location settings set it to GPS only? I can't test because my evo does the 5 vibrates green blinking LED of death right after it boots no matter how many times I wipe the poor lil guy
[EVO 4G Android Development] Havocwreaker11:
Not a problem, I completely understand. I just tested it and it does not acquire GPS at all when only GPS is checked. I left it outside for 10 minutes and it did not lock onto any satellites.

I'm trying to find use for the phone since I got it back after upgrading my mother yesterday. LOL, it used to be my phone rooted with Karma and I handed it down to her. After a few years, it is now mine again. They wanted to buy the phone back for $5 in the store. hahaha

Thanks again for all the work done to this, hopefully someone will pick up this project and run with it. Maybe it's time for me to learn to cook roms ;).
[EVO 4G Android Development] Havocwreaker11:
Coming back to let you all know that RC3 is working great and has GPS. I removed the JB version as I couldn't get it to work and once the apps updated, all kinds of FCs began to happen. So far, none with RC3. Thanks!!!!!

I'm using my EVO as my Xbox controller and occasional media player with GPS mapping in the off-road.

[EVO 4G Android Development] copekyle:
So I realize this thread is old but I'm just trying RC3 for the first time with an old device. Install and everything went smooth and now I'm having issues with WIFI. I use this phone as a viewing device for a webcam set up in the baby's room (Using TinyCam Pro application). Typically if I watch the camera for 45 minutes to an hour, it times out for some reason. Then the phone locks up and I have to pull the battery to get it working again. Went back to stock and I didn't have this problem. Anyone know where I could start looking for a fix?

Build

That is great news! I was running the Solar Flare series V on my EVO which ported a lot of Experia apps and functions to the phone with just a touch of Touchwiz like interfaces.

I am now running the JB 'test2' build on my EVO since I have a Note 3. I just use the EVO as a media player.

Here is one problem though.. I can not get the FM radio to work. It loads, but FC's when I try and open it. Is this a kernel problem or is it because the 'cell' radio function is shut down in this build.?

I am delighted to see life in this thread!!!

Can anyone mirror RC3?

Hi all

I'm hoping someone can post/mirror a copy of Ubersonic RC3? I've searched through this post and unfortunately all of the links are now dead...

Found some working links for various JB tests and RC1/RC2 but I'd really like to give RC3 a shot -- google, filesearchers and etc also come up cold...

Any help appreciated!
[EVO 4G Android Development] nathantaylor:
No offense, but you must not have looked too hard. It was a single page back from your post, on page 30 :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] jayd4wg:
about to jump into this ROM, it's going to be a media device for my son on an Evo 4g. Has anyone gotten the FM radio to work? This would be a very worthwile add if it's not active - this will be my first rom flash ever and i'm beyond nervous to pull the trigger. currently i'm rooted, s-on, hboot 2.18, running 2.3.5

my biggest headache so far was having to manually install the google play store apk and getting the google apps to update.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Charcaroth:
Just installed Ubersonic rc2 (rc3 didn't install from the link on the OP) on my now venerable Evo 4G. With a new removable battery the Evo 4G works as well as it ever did and in this case, it works like a champ to use as a media player for my kids. Thanks for all the hard work and for keeping it available because, well, you never know what you'll need.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Unidave199:
You said it... I am STILL using this as a media player/podcast watcher/movie viewer at the gym, on the plane.. wherever!

Consider getting the extended battery for even more playback time!
[EVO 4G Android Development] Landspeeder:
But does it work with Pandora (2020.03)

[MENTION=4040214]Charcaroth[/MENTION] and [MENTION=5554693]Unidave199[/MENTION] - would you folks kindly see if the Pandora music app works on this version? The Rom I've been using for the last decade or so finally fell out of compatibility with that app. I use this device 100% for streaming Pandora. Thanks folks!

Current info:

model pc36100

android 2.3.7

[EVO 4G Android Development] Charcaroth:
Pandora works fine, some other issues but not related to this ROM

Landspeeder,

Pandora works just fine if you want to set it and forget it. It took roughly 45 seconds to populate stations from the paid version of Pandora (Pandora One), which is pretty slow but if you are interested in setting a station, connecting it to a speaker or stereo input using a 3.5" jack or bluetooth, and playing for several hours, it would work as well as anything out there. That's pretty much what I was hoping to do with the device when I flashed this ICS rom anyhow. My (working) version of the Pandora App (as of March 2020) is 6.3.1. If anyone is interested in what apps still work on this ICS rom in 2020, I'm also using Google Play services (ver 14.7.99), the official TWRP app (ver 1.21), Opera Mini (ver 20.0.2254.110284), DiskUsage (ver 3.8.3), Root Uninstaller (ver 1.0.4), and Superuser (ver 3.0.7 with SU binary ver 3.0.3.2, now depricated but working). I had previously been using Groove IP (ver 4.0.1) along with DW dialer which routed calls through my Google Voice number on a dummy Google account for calling purposes but I just discovered that Groove IP no longer connects to Google Voice and thus doesn't make phone calls any longer so I just uninstalled Groove IP. The Pandora widget as well as the widget for the Walkman mp3 player (pretty sure this is included in the ROM but don't recall now) both work as well.

The Evo4G seems to power down if it gets overworked these days. For example, when I left Pandora playing and was trying to change the settings of Groove IP to disconnect it with Google Voice and see if it would make a call without routing it through GV, the phone rebooted and would not restart until it sat with the battery removed for 15+ minutes. In the meantime, with the battery in, it will flash the LED green every 3 seconds until the battery discharges. If I try to reboot before the 15 minute waiting period, it boots with the white HTC Evo 4G screen for about five seconds then powers down, flashes the LED green and vibrates four quick times. It's been doing that for a while now, even when I was using a previous Gingerbread ROM so I would think the issue is hardware related. I have two batteries, the original one and a venerable Anker LiON battery from 2014 and the results are the same with either battery. To that end, it's possible that a new one fix the issue if it's a heat problem related to old battery cells but I'm not sure sinking more money into this limited function is worth it. If I open two apps with less space free on the phone, it reboots and just loads a black screen after the white HTC Evo4G screen. If I restart after it's been on for a while it does the same thing which makes me think even more that it's a heat/battery problem. Since I'm really only using it to stream Pandora or play mp3s from the 32 gb microSD card, and only very occasionally, I have not done any more troubleshooting than that.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Landspeeder:
This is PERFECT! Thank you kindly :)

Now... does any kind soul have links to the necessary image files as the existing dropbox links from 2014 are, alas, dead :/
[EVO 4G Android Development] Charcaroth:
Here's a link to the latest Supersonic TWRP, the latest ICS Google Apps, Ubersonic ROM rc2, and Ubersonic ROM rc3 from my free Dropbox account: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/nzgbf5eqj0wu5ay/AAAXZ3iMS5fx9WNwP-XD3y4wa?dl=0 I'll keep them available as long as I can, but with free accounts, space is at a premium.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Landspeeder:
This is perfect [MENTION=4040214]Charcaroth[/MENTION] - Thank you kindly!
[EVO 4G Android Development] Unidave199:
Not for nuthin' but I decided to see what I can do with this perfect little player and was able to get KitKat 4.4.4. on this using the Team Nocturnal ROM. I also was able to get App2SD to work so my SK card gives it 3 gig memory now which will allow me to use this as a streamer, player, and use google voice so can even use it as a 'home phone'. I have had weird events as well with reboots if the battery gets down to 87% or so, but seems to all be battery related issues. Recently i decided to put in an extended battery and got 5 hours of video playback time on it!
[EVO 4G Android Development] Landspeeder:
Obliged - as of now this 4.0.4 ROM is working wonderfully --- its only job is to stream Pandora (paid) off of my home network from a powered dock.

For just streaming Pandora paid from the home wifi would you recommend jumping from 4.0.4 to 4.4.4?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Unidave199:
no way! It is a small hassle to get it to run Kit Kat.... I would DEFINATELY keep with RC3!! Enjoy!
[EVO 4G Android Development] Landspeeder:
Kindly, I thank you
[EVO 4G Android Development] Charcaroth:
I ran the Evervolv KitKat 4.4 ROM for a while when it came out and it was unbearably slow with only 512mb RAM on the EVO 4G. I don't recall any apps that didn't take minutes to open and even then, they often crashed. Gingerbread worked great (there were/are many great GB ROMs on XDA), and there were no Honeycomb ROMs (though I had Android 3.0 on my late lamented GoogleTV), but I think ICS (4.0) is probably the latest Android that runs with any efficiency on the Evo 4G. Unless a new developer gets interested in doing a throwback ICS, JB, or KK ROM, I think you'll be better off running Ubersonic for the remainder of the life of the Evo 4G, though I wish it were otherwise.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Landspeeder:
Thanks, so long as Pandora paid continues to stream, and is relatively responsive, I'll gladly continue using this through the next decade (.... so long as pandora continues to be our music provider of course).

My fallback option was a $100 Android 9.0 tablet... but the Evo 4G fills this need so nicely as is.

Thanks for keeping up with these old devices forums folks :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] Unidave199:
I hear ya, it was not really a treat to run on ICS either but was at least manageable. The secret is being able to load A2SD which is a bit of a hassle but as I learn more about Linux and partitioning, I was able to do it. In effect it turns a few Gig of your SD card into RAM and then allows you to have a reasonably functional phone. KitKat was Google's first foray into the 'modern' settings so you can use more of their features. I use my EVO as a 'take to the gym' phone since it slips into its holster on my arm so perfectly.. Not to big and not to small. I can also dump a much of shows from my TiVo onto the phone and on trips or flights watch my shows and the removable battery means I can just swap at my leisure and not depend on a charge bank.. so can play back my music, make phone calls over the wifi if needed and utilize some of the workout apps and fitness apps that are no longer compatible below 4.4.

Im not throwing shade at the RC3! I loved RC3 and think it is a GREAT use for the phone, I guess I just figured why not try and push this GREAT phone and see what it can really do.

[EVO 4G Android Development] jwitt418:
I'm not really sure if it violates any kind of xda stuff, so dont shoot the messenger. But a good idea for this would be to add some game emulators. nesoid, snesois, gensoid for example. rom leecher is pretty good at finding games as well. As far as I know you can use any game that is no longer being retailed. As for emulators, they are 100% legal and all those I listed are freeware. Just a suggestion to make this a bit better and functional.
[EVO 4G Android Development] lreyes:
bad idea.....if you want to pirate roms and play games you never played for then you do it yourself and not force the op to do illegal stuff.

[EVO 4G Android Development] frickinjerms:

[EVO 4G Android Development] jwitt418:
The emulators are FREEWARE. They are perfectly legal. As for games, once again, pretty sure they are fine to use as long as they aren't retailed by the original company any more.

My point about xda is that I don't know what is ok to put in the roms themselves, I'm not a dev. Just a guy with good idea...
[EVO 4G Android Development] ElfinJNoty:
Back when I got my Gnex... one of the first ROMs I installed on it was the BlackIce 40.5. Evo owners have had a port for a while now and I've been running that on the Evo while moving on to Baked BlackBean on the Gnex.

Soon as the Evo was deactivated I had the same idea of using it strictly as a media device. I striped down the black ice ROM quite a bit and removed anything network related to reduce battery drain. With an extended battery and screen off I left the evo playing music accidentally in my luggage during a recent trip to Dallas for 4 days while visiting family. WiFi was on and music playing, after 4 days I still had 8 percent battery.

You've got a great idea here... encourage starting from an ICS aokp base for optimal settings and theming options. Running a DPI of 180 also makes things look slightly better. You can use an app such as Titanium to freeze things first before removing to ensure there are no app dependencies prior to removing them. Truly, u can just disable mobile data and edit the build prop to disable network communications on any existing ROM. WiFi access is a must to implement this as a true mini tablet option. I was considering this all with a paranoid android port but gave up on the idea as it hasn't been a priority for me.

Good ambition my friend, I will keep an eye on this and I am available to test anything for ya... at least compare it to my personal set up to see if there are improvements.

---------- Post added at 08:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:29 PM ----------

Check build prop property

ro.cdma.home.operator.alpha

Change value from "sprint" to whatever you want it to say instead of sprint or no network.

Can't remember if that was the right adjustment, don't have my evo in front of me, that's just off memory
[EVO 4G Android Development] frickinjerms:
ill give that build prop tweak a look and definitely the 180dpi mod :D thank you for that idea :D

i remember when i first flashed aokp i had problems with my play store connecting via wifi any even tethering off my one s and had to do some build prop tweak that was oddly enough gsm tagged.. these lines were what caused my headaches :P

gsm.sim.operator.numeric = 0
gsm.sim.operator.alpha = 0
gsm.sim.operator.iso-country = 0

and then when changed it to

gsm.sim.operator.numeric = 310120
gsm.sim.operator.alpha = Sprint
gsm.sim.operator.iso-country = US

and reboot gave me my play store back way after i first took my evo out of the drawer :P

Setup Fix (Temporarily)

if anyone had gotten stuck in the setup wizard with a fc message after hitting Next on the screen where you put in your name

i've attached a fix zip for that issue

just add your google account in the play store and it should be all good for now

Looks interesting. My question is, if I flash it would I still be able to use the evo as a 'free' wifi phone witrh apps like google voice and goove ip fully functionalbe? I do not think those apps use the built in apks to work.. but I don't really know.

I found this looking for a script to turn the cellular radio off. If this rom will allow me to make calls and sms over wifi still then I will try it out too. Otherwise..anyone see that script anywhere...?

I know I saw one laying around.. somewhere, heh.
[EVO 4G Android Development] frickinjerms:
Hmm I've never used groove so I can't really vouch for the success rate on that but theoretically it should work since that's what the method was for voice calls on tablets
[EVO 4G Android Development] ElfinJNoty:
I can confirm. Groove works well on the evo. I even have it on a tablet mounted in my dashboard in my SUV. Tab operates as a media center, tethered to my cell... anyways, when tethering I get an incoming call, rings on the tab and I answer my call through groove.

I installed on the evo a lil while ago and I'm in the house on WiFi.. works just as good. That plus Google voice for texts and voicemail? I get a call and they both ring same time.

Follow the instructions on grooveip website and you can't miss. Its a VoIP service, just need a Google voice account and set it up correctly and an internet connection
[EVO 4G Android Development] frickinjerms:
That's with ubersonic too?
[EVO 4G Android Development] ElfinJNoty:
I don't even know what an ubersonic is lol

just kidding. I am getting a CNA variation tested first, then I will give your ubersonic a run. I have set the above mentioned setup on a few devices... only thing that it all depends on is WiFi so I don't see why it wouldn't work???
