this is great!

I JUST retired my Evo 4G today! I've had it for 2 years on Cricket. I have been totally satisfied with this phone and hardly felt the need to upgrade at all. I love this thing to death and had it tweaked just the way I wanted it.

I was wondering if I would sell my OG or what but realized "Hey I can throw ICS on it now and just use it for media!" and came over to the supersonic dev forum to find a rom. Awesome timing!

However, I'm keeping it in the family and switched to an Evo V (evo 3d on virgin mobile) for the nutso $35 plan ($20 down from my $55 Cricket plan which was a total deal at the time).

There are two reasons I finally switched:

1) I've been stuck on GB roms with the OG because I could never get MMS to work on ICS roms with Cricket. MMS is a feature I can't deal without because, honestly, a hot a girl is sending me pictures too frequently for it not to work lol.

2) Getting the Evo V and switching to Virgin Mobile saves me $20 a month. I got the phone for $240 new (stupid non subsidized phone prices without a contract lol). Continuing with the OG and my existing Cricket service would cost me exactly the same as buying the V now and switching plans over the course of 1 year. After 1 year I'll be saving since I made the switch!

Flashed on my Evo. Worked good for an hour but then locked up and hot hotter than I have ever had a phone get. Ended up flashing am older Manipulate modded GB Tom from back in the day and just running aeroplane mode.

I love the idea though! Just didn't work for me.

SENT VIA ICS MIUI ON THE INTERNETS!!!
[EVO 4G Android Development] PHE-NOM:
Anything else being done to this project, or is this final?
[EVO 4G Android Development] tube517:
Going to flash this on my backup EVO. My new media device for the gym!
[EVO 4G Android Development] frickinjerms:
I've had personal issues going on guys so once all this bs blows over I'll get back in the game so just bear with me I don't want to scrap this trust me, just getting my sh*t together first
[EVO 4G Android Development] oodork123:
No problem bro, we're all trying to get settled without the BS in life. Once your ready we'll know.
[EVO 4G Android Development] a senile fungus:
Curious to see where this goes. Keep us updated!

-I'm a fungi
[EVO 4G Android Development] frickinjerms:
i will fungus :D im winding down from the craziness of daily life :P and once im situated then i will hop back into action :D
[EVO 4G Android Development] chupafaros:
just jumped to an s3, wanna keep the og for media and games, any new news on this?
[EVO 4G Android Development] smaw51:
You can continue to use your current Rom, use in airplane mode. I am working periodically on making able to turn my tv into a smart tv controlled by my other devices. For watching stuff like Netflix and hulu and internet magic
[EVO 4G Android Development] frickinjerms:
im finally in a position to get this shizz going again :D so i hope in a week i can has rc2 up :D ive already added a gnarly hosts file to block loads of ads and am testing the mason 0.1.5 rc5 kernel and so far so good :) the build will have sgs2 memo app and hdmwin in it too so someone can try n getting it hdmi working cuz its been a vain endeavor for me haha
[EVO 4G Android Development] smaw51:
Right on. One thing I've been trying to do lately is running my evo as a vnc server and control it with my tablet over wifi for Netflix hooked up to my tv
[EVO 4G Android Development] Pre-dawn raid:
Still using my Evo as my primary device (waiting for Nexus 4 release) but I'm excited for the development of this rom and will definitely be flashing this. I can see my Evo providing many years of service as a gym/light gaming device.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ProCision:
This is a great rom for those that retired our OGEvO's. I didnt think it was going to be as fast and responsive as it is. This is great. Thanks!
[EVO 4G Android Development] Pao23:
I really want to try this on my side evo, and have done two clean installs, but can't get past setup. Just errors out and says Google set up has failed. :(
[EVO 4G Android Development] slam11100:
You have too many devices in the play store linked to your account. Try to delete some of them. Remember, each time you flash a new rom and sign into Google, it thinks it's a new phone
[EVO 4G Android Development] life:
never heard of this, so your basically saying we are limited on android devices associated with our gmail accounts??

i do not believe this. as i have tablets and phones running on my account that have been flashed multiple times without a hitch...
[EVO 4G Android Development] smaw51:
I've seen it a few times. go to the play store on your computer or something and check out the settings and your devices, just disable the ones that are no longer in service and stuff. I have only had it happen a few times where that was preventing everything from working right.
[EVO 4G Android Development] life:
after a little searching, you can have up to 10 devices connected at one time.
[EVO 4G Android Development] slam11100:
Yet you are having a hitch now, aren't you? If you've flashed your evo with 10 different roms, each flash shows up as a different device. I suspect you've hit your allotment. Perhaps not. Did you check in the play store how many devices you have linked? That may be a wise thing to do. Whatever. Hope you solve your problem. Let us know if you did so if someone else has the same situation they can be directed here
[EVO 4G Android Development] life:
Never had a hitch, and did check in Google play to see my devices and out of the thousands of times I have flashed my Evo to different roms, i still only had 2 my Evo and my tablets..... And my tablets have been flashed multiple times as well, and yet they only show in the play store once. Only way I could see this as a problem is if your running boot manager with 6 to 7 roms on it

[EVO 4G Android Development] slam11100:
Pao23 is having a problem. Maybe you would like to try and help him out?
[EVO 4G Android Development] frickinjerms:
I have a fix that bypasses initial setup somewhere in these few pages, it just gets rid if the wizard and our can sign in from Google through the accounts section in settings
[EVO 4G Android Development] slam11100:
Now we are frickin talking here
[EVO 4G Android Development] frickinjerms:
I thought I linked it in the op but maybe I didn't *facepalm*
[EVO 4G Android Development] ProCision:
i've been running this on one of my retired evo's and came back to download again for my other retired evo that I will give to my 1 year old to push letters and animal sounds. Was hoping to see an update and didnt know if the video could or couldnt record. My phone also locks up here and there when the camera is launched, screen will flicker, go back to the main screen and flicker until I pull the battery. Not really a big deal as I use this for a music player more then a camera.
[EVO 4G Android Development] frickinjerms:
hai everyone! im still alive :P sorry its been so quiet from me, im actually working on a build now as i type this :P

one main drawback was that i rebased the rom so i kinda had to port everything i had previously and start over *facepalm*

the new base is deck's ics...

i should have rc2 popping out soon but this includes the most recent walkman from xperia T that looks way prettier and more features work :D

now lets see if this prick boots :P
[EVO 4G Android Development] oodork123:
May you try to make an AOKP status bar? Other than cant wait for rc2
[EVO 4G Android Development] Seanydizzley:
You can never go wrong with a Decks base! I'll be following this thread. Its a great idea! I've just been running Decks 1.4 (I believe that's what it is?) with airplane mode on. Gets me a few days at least for driving to and from work. Thanks for your contributions! Can't wait to try RC2.
[EVO 4G Android Development] life:
i agree, im running the reloaded rom from jamie which was based off decks, only its gingerbread (as it is just my media device now no need to be high and fancy). Im up to 6 days 11hours on a single battery charge on airplane mod with wifi on, and still have 57% battery.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Pre-dawn raid:
GOOD NEWS that this rom is still being developed by the OP. I might just decide to keep this device around after all. Still surprised to see so much development for our Evos two and a half years out.
[EVO 4G Android Development] thenewguy821:
Has anyone had luck with Bluetooth? It see's and "pairs" with my Motorola hx550, then settings force closes and no sound is heard through Bluetooth, only external speaker...
[EVO 4G Android Development] slam11100:
I thought airplane mode turns the wifi off automatically. How do you keep it on?
[EVO 4G Android Development] cprielly:
I use wifi with airplane mode on. I'm also on reloaded.
[EVO 4G Android Development] frickinjerms:
I just got one of those hdmx Bluetooth speakers and it works great cuz some prick only stole the faceplate of my deck in my car and i can't get the rest out cuz i don't have the keys cuz that deck came with the car -__-"
[EVO 4G Android Development] life:
turn on airplane mode then wifi, if you have wifi on before turning the airplane mode on it will turn off, just turn it back on. that way your device isnt searching for phone signal, or data. the og stock battery can last for 15 days or more in airplane mode on gingerbread. crazy how much the data/phone signal eats up battery.
[EVO 4G Android Development] slam11100:
Dude thanks. Been using evo for 2+ years and did not know this :face palm
[EVO 4G Android Development] life:
Lol. No worries I didn't know until running myn's last rom for the evo(can't remember the name, started with an s) and a couple of the themers talked about putting it on airplane and wifi at night when they went to bed.

Sent from my new gs3
[EVO 4G Android Development] jsp254:
i just read a post earlier in the thread were you mentioned possibly trying this with a GB rom. was there ever any advancement in that? i have a retired evo and only want to use it for its gps, camera, and occasionally for music. was there a lot of work involved in removing the phone stuff? what are the main areas, apk's, etc that you have to modify before you can remove the phone functions? i would be interested in trying this with a cm7 version. possibly decks rom.
[EVO 4G Android Development] frickinjerms:
I'm in the middle of getting a new job haha my lame life is more hectic than I thought.. The only snag is that the Walkman player isn't compatible with gingerbread as far as I know but once this all settles I'll try and keep working on this stuff haha
[EVO 4G Android Development] jsp254:
no explanation needed! fully understand! life never seems to give anyone a break!

is there a lot involved as far as getting the rom to not seek the phone stuff? i tried freezing the apk's that i knew dealt with calling, messaging, etc and got the errors that i knew i would. does the changes have to be made in the build.prop or where to get it to stop looking for them?

i just want to make a stripped down gb rom for this. nofrills, just able to run the apks i need, without the phone specific apps taking up space.
[EVO 4G Android Development] frickinjerms:
Well one thing I tried on the one I've got now, even though it is ics, is remove the ril files from /system/lib and that seems to have effectively killed the radio :) only snag is gps is broken too
[EVO 4G Android Development] frickinjerms:
I got RC2 up in the OP

HERE as well if yall jump to the end :P

A few changes :P all mentioned in the OP

Good:

New base which is Decks PreBeta 25 :)

Lastest Walkman :D

Xperia Launcher with Walkman Widget (finally)

Mason 15 kernel!

Removed the RIL libs and it seems to have effectively killed the radio! (I had the device in my pocket at work for about 5 hours not doing anything and the battery was at 99% still bahahahaha)

Not-So Good:

Finally debunked the removal of most unnecessary settings but theres more i need to remove :P

Bluetooth audio randomly stutters (this could have been prevalent before but i didnt get my BT speaker til after nit-picking rc2)

But through headphones / aux everything is fine :confused: and as for dock.. i have no idea :P

Lemme know your thoughts guys!
[EVO 4G Android Development] jsp254:
ahh. dang. gps is the one thing i need most. ok. hey bro, i appreciate it! you've given me a great place to start! thank you!

also, i'll be trying the rc2 out right now. thank you for your dedication to our community!
[EVO 4G Android Development] bossjeeves:
Awesome man, will try this out later tonight, this is exactly what I was looking for!
[EVO 4G Android Development] nan239:
Anyone been able to get A2SD working with this rom. I'm having a hard time getting my evo to boot.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Pre-dawn raid:
I wasn't aware a2sd was baked into the rom. I was able to manually move over some of the larger apps to SD card using the built in Android function within the OS. This rom is working great on the old Evo using the OC settings mentioned in the OP.
[EVO 4G Android Development] frickinjerms:
Honestly I've never tried a2sd on any rom I've ever flashed on my evo haha I don't think the init.d script is in included in there either.. Otherwise, what hboot are ya on and are you s-off or no?
[EVO 4G Android Development] nan239:
Im S-off (ENG H-Boot). so a2sd wont work then??
[EVO 4G Android Development] frickinjerms:
I'll try to add it in And test it out.. What recovery do you use? I've been a faithful amon-Ra user twrp didn't work for me surprisingly and never liked cmw
[EVO 4G Android Development] nan239:
Smelkus recovery. And thanks. I need a2sd cus I use my evo for lots of games and music apps.
[EVO 4G Android Development] frickinjerms:
I also remembered I forgot to add the dalvik2cache script too haha
[EVO 4G Android Development] nan239:
Well that explains a lot lol no biggy though. It would be really greater if you can include a2sd next update though (:
[EVO 4G Android Development] Sharpe351:
Installed, twice. Had to double flash it to get it to stick. Still haven't used it because it rebooted and now stuck in boot loop. Gonna have to install again...

Edit: had to refer to backup. From is random rebooting and wifi doesn't work. Logcat shows crashes all over and kernel panic causing all kinds of problems.

My EVO is s-off and I'm using smelkus recovery.
[EVO 4G Android Development] frickinjerms:
Hmm that's strange mine flashes with no issues And haven't had any random reboots at all..
[EVO 4G Android Development] .Nox:
frickengerms,

I just had to say how much I appreciate something like this! I've never been so attached to a device (more-so than my Audi even :eek:!) as I am to my EVO. I've traveled the country with it, flashed hundreds of ROMS over the years, even used it as a shelf, and its never once let me down. I've since moved onto the GS3 and am always sad to see my Evo just laying on my desk.

Now it has a new purpose thanks to you!!

I haven't got the time currently, but you can bet your ass I will be flashing this.

Thanks again frickengerms!

Chris
[EVO 4G Android Development] frickinjerms:
Haha awesome :) hopefully it works out for ya!
[EVO 4G Android Development] wrekone:
Settings is FCing when I try to connect to my Wifi (802.11b/g/n). Connects to my neighbors wifi just fine but no data actually transfers. I don't think I've ever successfully connected to my neighbors router though, so not sure if it's really connected. Tried flashing setup_fix.zip., but it didn't fix the FC. Tried wiping everything and re-installing but it didn't fix the issue. I turned off security and it logs in to the wifi network just fine, but I can't leave security off on my router for obvious reasons.
[EVO 4G Android Development] frickinjerms:
Hmm I've never had an issue connecting to the wifi here at my house but the router is open.. Strange..
[EVO 4G Android Development] bossjeeves:
Is there a way to install the gtalk application? I think It would be nice to have gchat and video chat avl.
[EVO 4G Android Development] wrekone:
I'll see if I can connect to a different secured router as soon as I get a chance and let you know how it goes. If you want the feedback, that is. This ROM seems awesome, and I really want to take it for a spin.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ruckstande:
Just saw this. I can't wait to try this out. I hate seeing. My trusty EVO just sitting there useless. It was my first day phone that I loved.
[EVO 4G Android Development] thenewguy821:
Anyone having any luck with Bluetooth? I can pair with Motorola HX550, but settings immediately closes, and no sound is sent to Bluetooth.

Headset pairs but will not connect.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ruckstande:
Haven't tried it but I will as soon as I can.
[EVO 4G Android Development] wrekone:
Same here. Settings FCs, go back in and it says it's paired, but no sound comes out. When I try to open device specific settings it FCs again. Motorola S305.
[EVO 4G Android Development] frickinjerms:
I have one of those hmdx Bluetooth speakers and it connects and plays with only occasional music stuttering but otherwise is fine
[EVO 4G Android Development] wrekone:
Can I provide you with logs or anything? I'd really like to get this working, but I've triple wiped, re-flashed, and let it settle in for a couple of days but wifi and bluetooth are still not solid. I had been planning on using this ROM for months now, just had to wait for my upgrade to Evo LTE, now I'm pretty bummed that I can't get it up and running effectively. If you don't have time or don't want to help just let me know, I'll figure something out I'm sure.

edit: i don't think I've said thank you for your work yet so... thank you. Whether or not this works out for me, I love the idea, and I appreciate your contribution to the OG Evo.
[EVO 4G Android Development] frickinjerms:
I'd love to help definitely but reverse engineering libs is way out of my field of knowledge haha that's the only snag.. I'm still very noob in the hardcore hacking area :P
[EVO 4G Android Development] wrekone:
No worries.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ruckstande:
I tried sending a file via bluetooth from my S3 to the EVO and a message says it failed to to no sd card being present which it most certainly is.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Sharpe351:
Pull a logcat. Then we can see if the Dev can blow it off again.

I mean, of the few complaints that this has had, you should be trying something to fix the problems instead of just saying," I've never had that problem".

sent from my batphone
[EVO 4G Android Development] frickinjerms:
The thing is, I'm not a dev by any means.. I made all this stuff by trial and error just to see what would happen and whenever it worked on my evo I was like "oh look awesome" so I decided to share with the community..
[EVO 4G Android Development] ruckstande:
So far it's awesome and it's something I had hoped someone would do for the longest time. I really want development of this to continue.
[EVO 4G Android Development] frickinjerms:
I appreciate the positive feedback however the disrespect from others is aggravating as fuuuuuu.. I mean if someone wants to help out that knows how to do the things that need work that I can't do because I don't know how to, well I am a pm away.. but to say "oh so he can blow it off again" when its something that I've clearly said is out of my range of knowledge is disrespectful and makes me wanna drop this altogether...
[EVO 4G Android Development] ruckstande:
I can imagine it being frustrating. Hopefully if you truly find it not worth your time, and you can find a dev who would be willing to continue your project.
[EVO 4G Android Development] wrekone:
I really appreciate you sharing it with the rest of us.

Also I just saw DockBoss in your sig and Googled it.

That. Is. Awesome. I'm buying one.
[EVO 4G Android Development] MBQ_:

Nothing is more frustrating than a user who just complains or gloats but

never

helps. :|
[EVO 4G Android Development] slam11100:
Your comment sucks dude.
[EVO 4G Android Development] frickinjerms:
ive even tried replicating some of the aforementioned problems and i havent had them happen at all so I really dont have much to base it on but if you guys wanna PM the logcats i can try and get in touch with someone that knows what all is going on in all that text to debunk the mystery
[EVO 4G Android Development] frickinjerms:
yeh that dockboss thing really pisses off all my apple buddies :P

i stumbled across it cuz i used to have a 160gb ipod classic but it got stolen out of my car one nite and so now i had this useless dock in my room and then was like "hmm lets find something that will make this not go to waste and i googled 30-pin to 3.5mm and thats what popped up hahaha
[EVO 4G Android Development] ruckstande:
Does it allow the devices to control the Android at all?
[EVO 4G Android Development] frickinjerms:
unfortunately it doesnt but thats why i use DroidMote Server on the evo and DroidMote remote on my one s to control it like a lazy ass :P
[EVO 4G Android Development] rickmatic:
I have yet to try this, but I really love the idea and I know for sure once I upgrade this is going on my og.

I understand the frustration with trolls, but I would really love for you to continue this project.

If only I knew how to help I would. Keep up the good work.

Frickin, would it be easier to maybe make a media player out of a base like cm7?

I've never developed so I'm just throwing thoughts out there, but since everything works on cm7 would it or would it not give u a more stable place to start?
[EVO 4G Android Development] life:
yeah, i agree. we are only using as a media device, so don't really need all the bells and whistles.
[EVO 4G Android Development] frickinjerms:
yeh the cm7 idea would be more stable thats no doubt, however some of the things i use in the rom aren't compatible like awesome beats and the walkman player which were really my big inspirations to make this rom..

however ive posted in this thread somewhere i would give it a shot..

the only reason why i knew this was semi-possible in the first place is cuz i used my xperia play as a "titanium backup uninstallation extravaganza" dummy device haha
[EVO 4G Android Development] Sharpe351:
Beats can be added to CM7, you just have to find the right one. Walkman, on the other hand, isn't so easy. It would have to be backported.

[EVO 4G Android Development] frickinjerms:
Yeh I used to have the beats mod when I ran cm7 (brain fart didn't help with that) when I actually used it as a phone haha but I'll play around with that when I get a day off haha this two jobs thing is a doozie
[EVO 4G Android Development] rickmatic:
2 jobs I feel u...

How 'bout using aroma so we have the option on what media player to use.

Here's another base Miui? Isn't miui running on jellybean?

We can probably throw so many ideas, but what ever u come up with. I'm sure it'll be good enough.
[EVO 4G Android Development] metaphysical_calamity:
This is a cool idea. I almost did something similar once lol

Thanks for the hard work :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] rickmatic:
Never too late.

Always a good thing to have a few to choose from.
[EVO 4G Android Development] deadcore:
how about GPS??

does it work?

thx mate:good:
[EVO 4G Android Development] Mordred69:
Thanks for the ROM! I will try it.

How about using a ROM base compiled with what I have been reading as "Linaro"? I am no dev, but I have tried a few of these ROMS and they are SMOOTH and SLICK.

The Aroma idea is awesome. I personally would remove Walkman and put in PowerAmp... easier to switch tracks while driving from lock screen - just swipe across.
[EVO 4G Android Development] nbock01:
GPS appears to be working, its just slow to connect. I use my EVO as my ingress device so gps very important to me.
