Edit 20140621-1:

2 likely reasons for the problem described below:

- installing KK 4.4 and KK 4.42 Google apps on this new nightly KK 4.4.4 (those are the latest Gapps updates mentionned in the evervolv updater app). By checking the changelog sources, I found links for most Gapps, for "generic device" ("goldfish"?). Not sure if they can be installed out of the box, and maybe the evervolv team has to work them out for each specific device

- screwed myself by making a buggy ES File Explorer flashable zip: I set more restrictive permissions on /data/app, which probably hanged some apps and maybe the hardware, making him squeeze. This is fixed now

I did not rlash it again yet

I'm testing nighlies since 2014-06-05, and got no issue until here.

But tonight, I tried the latest bravo 4.4.4 nightly 20140620, and did **** my pants ^^ I encountered an hardware issue: still don't know if something is broken or not in the device:

- first boot had some gapps runtime errors: fixed by rebooting in recovery, clearing cache+dalvik and booting the whole system again

- on second boot, I went into the apps panel, and opened each one sequentially. When opening G.Gmail, then G.Hangouts (hanged like 5 seconds before opening), then Music, I heard some very loud crackling sound during one second, and my screen went totally black --> reboot in recovery by removing the battery

- cache+dalvik wiped again, here come the third system boot: restarting the same experiment, I got to Music, FlashLight, and when taping screen to set light it on, nothing happened (thought the crackling sound was a dead flash LED). I tried to tap again, 2 or 3 times, and then I got the light to toggle with a 2s delay, one or two seconds after I did tap the screen. A few seconds after, taping the screen to toggle the light was behaving correctly. When activating the volume up-down hardware controls, the sound is ok, so speakers don't seem to be hurt neither

The only difference here is that I enabled usage of the swap partition, what I didn't do on previous nightly flashes. I may have ****ed myself somewhere when flashing this boilerplate of zips :cowboy:, but I didn't expect something like this. Jumping back on bravo nightly 20014-06-15 4.4.3.

Config I'm using

since the beginning (only changing the nightly zip when reflashing from evervolv updater app):

- stock radio/hboot (1.03.0003)/.., HTCdev unlocked (stock hboot partitioning: system/cache/data = 250MB/40MB/147MB)

- sdcard: stock sandisk 4GB class2, partition table: FAT32/ext/swap = fillsTheRest/640MBext4/576MB (RAM/swap ratio: 1:1)

- recovery: TWRP 2.6.0.0 evervolv (flashed with the HTCdev one (provided in its official unlock documentation, the G. Android SDK one would probably behave the same)

- rom: bravo 20140620 nightly evervolv (downloaded from the evervolv updater app)

- gapps: gapps core 44 2013-11-26 + gapps core 442 2013-12-?? + gapps 42 2014-01-?? (downloaded from the evervolv updater app)

- update zips sequence:

> - rom zip

> - custom removal of a2sd files zip

> - enable ART zip (does not work and manual enabling needed from OS, maybe should be flashed before rom, since taking actions on '/data' only)

> - custom installer-fixed int2extv2+ with swap enabled zip (updated update-binary executable, fixed mount instruction, split in 2 archives swap/noswap to get rid of the yesno executable)

> - int2ext dalvik wipe tool

> - gapps core 44 2013-11-26

> - gapps core 442 2013-12-??

> - gapps 42 2014-01-??
