FFC doesn't work neither does 4g. But a great ROM none the less. My daily driver.

Sent from my PC36100
[EVO 4G Original Development] souleman:
Front Camera and 4G won't work on ICS or JB (they are fine on GB).. Someone needs to write an entirely new driver to get them to work, and I can't see anyone wasting the hours and hours of time it would take to do that, when they would have 20 people push the thank you button, and 200 people complain that they didn't do it earlier.
[EVO 4G Original Development] JM-PDA:
Camera works well for me. Occasionally, I the screen goes crazy when taking a picture. But the picture comes out fine.

GPS works great. I flashed MazWoz's JB 4.2.1 GPS fix.

Cheers!
[EVO 4G Original Development] dieselford:
The gps was fixed a few nightlies ago. Fix no longer needed
[EVO 4G Original Development] Mark_Hardware:
I just had that problem, too. Makes taking a picture.... interesting. lol
[EVO 4G Original Development] NxNW:
We should be grateful we have a rear camera that works. Having said that, the image quality is noticeably inferior to gingerbread ROMs (when compared at high magnification). Focus is not as sharp and there is tons of chroma noise, edge enhancement and other artifacts from attempting to sharpen the image in software.

More than good enough for 90% of cell phone picture situations, mind you. Just not as good as cameras with native drivers.
[EVO 4G Original Development] Graphic Anomaly:
I am getting this also. I'm assuming its just the way it is, until it gets fixed.

Also, I noticed the call audio quality is not good at all for me. It is much lower and cracklier than any other ROM I've tried, with and without the speaker phone. All other audio is normal...weird. Is anyone else experiencing this?

[EVO 4G Original Development] spyke1999:
Ok first you have to understand these drivers for ffc and 4g have to be written completely from scratch it is literally the most work I have had to do in months me and my friend have started but have run into trouble when we try to start 4g the phone freezes this is on cm10
[EVO 4G Original Development] maherov:
I have a few questions for you guys

1. on this ROM, are you getting Battery Stats? mine says unavailable when i try to go to battery in the settings

2. Are you running flash? if so what apk did you use? i have not had much luck with some of the apks i found online

3. This is actually to see if someone can replicate, when I'm driving, i put the phone in a car cradle, turn on bluetooth and sync my headset, turn on GPS and Waze. Everything is well at that point. I then make a phone call and about 30 seconds into the call, the phone restarts. Has anyone experienced this? I tried not using the cradle and it also restarts so i don't think "car mode" is the problem. If i call with GPS on but no Waze, it does not crash. Is there some sort of logging utility that i can run while I'm calling to see what crashes?

Thank you guys for your help.
[EVO 4G Original Development] Captain_Throwback:
1. Nope. That's what it's always said for me on every ICS/JB ROM. I don't think our devices are compatible with it.

2. Nope. I think Google completely removed Flash support from 4.2.1, unlike 4.1.2 where you could install the Flash APK and the stock Browser would still allow Flash to work (to some degree).

3. That sounds like an "out of memory" crash to me. You can only do some much on this legacy device before RAM runs out and the system hot reboots because it can't kill off enough programs before the system server crashes. It could also be the GPS drvier, though, because I noticed some crashing issues with the one included in the ROM. I was using the one from MazWoz's GPS fix, and it seemed to keep the system more stable. But I can't test this for you right now.
[EVO 4G Original Development] maherov:
Thanks for the reply Capt.

I am using MazWoz's GPS driver, and it still crashed, but not enough memory does sound like a plausible cause.
[EVO 4G Original Development] Captain_Throwback:
Are you using the whole fix, or just the driver from it? Because I'm specifically talking about just the gps.supersonic.so in the fix zip.
[EVO 4G Original Development] NxNW:
since the beginning of the month, at least 75 new commits have been merged (as compared with like a couple per week in january). true, the vast majority of them specifically apply to other phones and other chipsets (evo 3d, evo design 4g, one v, etc)

but a couple are general enough to probably affect the evo 4g.

and the most recent commit is labeled 'qsd8k-common' and specifically talks about GPS.

(i'm guessing this *may* apply to the Evo 4G's processor, the QSD8650)

so the feb 10 nightly might be interesting to try. i haven't yet- if anyone does, let us know how your GPS works.
[EVO 4G Original Development] dieselford:
Running great! Using blackdome kernel and I just use ICS camera from the market as my camera app. Still have to test Bluetooth. My headset is out in my truck and i am too lazy to go get it. Will report back tomorrow. GPS was working prior to blackdome kernel. I will update on that as well.
[EVO 4G Original Development] aheeejd:
Yes, running good here. In going to check out that blackdome kernel mentioned above. GPS, i opened maps & it said 40 yards, soon as i tapped it it locked right on. I am experiencing a bit of lag, but i think its because i flashed justinbean inverted gapps. Anyway, as always, love the rom
[EVO 4G Original Development] meldryn:
has anyone else had there sound drop out on them? a reboot restores it, but wondering if anyone else has seen it.

i leave my phone in airplane mode during the day ... might that be related?
[EVO 4G Original Development] taadow1030:
I was going to ask the same. On every nightly I've run, the sound on my headphones is low and drops if unplugged until a reboot. At first I thought my headphones were going out, but it only happens on this ROM and most of those that use it as a Base.
[EVO 4G Original Development] wolrah:
Just posting to say thanks for keeping this old beast alive.

For those asking, here's the summary of what works and doesn't as of whenever the nightly I'm using is from (fairly recent):

WORKS

2G/3G Voice

2G/3G Data

Bluetooth

GPS

GPU Acceleration

WiFi

WORKS WITH ISSUES

Rear-Facing Camera

Live preview has graphical glitches

Some report quality may be reduced

DOESN'T WORK

Front-Facing Camera

WiMax

I HAVE NO IDEA

HDMI

I've also experienced the issue with Google Voice not wanting to be launched from the "dock", though it's not all the time. I haven't yet figured out why it sometimes works and sometimes doesn't. The phone process also crashes every time if the remote party hangs up before you do. This does not seem to have any negative impact on the phone itself though, I usually call Sprint and hang up to reset the lock screen from "in call" state.
[EVO 4G Original Development] dieselford:
Everything works on black dome kernel as well. I have had 1 phone process force close when a text message came in while phone is in use. I have lost it flashed the Beats Audio mod by awesome, as well as cross breeder script.
[EVO 4G Original Development] copekyle:
issues

So I've been lurking around xda for years and been trying roms hear and there. This is the first one that has inspired me to create a membership and write.

Thanks to the DEV as this is the best operating system I have used to date. Here are the issues I am experiencing using the kernel that came with the rom.

1. Forced call process ending if caller hangs up first

2. Notification audio (ringer and notification) play through the internal speaker when I switch from vibrate or silent to full volume again. Must be rebooted to bring the audio back.

Anyone find a fix for these yet? (I've been flashing nightlies since feb 6)

Thanks

Kyle
[EVO 4G Original Development] Da1King:
I've experienced the same issues. One thing I also notice with the forced end of the phone process. I hit power to sleep the phone and hit power again to wake it and am greeted by the lock screen. On that lock screen is the option to return to call even though the call is disconnected. Not sure if this sheds light on the subject.

Some slight differences with the notifications though.

I open up Pandora and stream through the headphone jack. Disconnect headphones, close and exit Pandora, no or extremely quiet notifications, both email and text (separate ring tones for me). Reboot fixes it.

Receive a phone call. Successfully end the call without ending the process. No or extremely quiet notifications. Settings > Sound > Volumes > "Music, video, games, & other media" turned all the way down (slider to the left).

Then again there are times where I'll use Pandora (or any streaming app) and the volume slider is messed up. And other times I'll receive a call and have to reboot to restore sound. Very sporadic.

I've also been experiencing some random reboots that seem to center around messaging, especially if I receive two messages back to back. Seems to cause the phone to reboot on occasion.
[EVO 4G Original Development] cryptic3:
You not the only one bud I'm having the same issue i have my Bluetooth headset and after i disconnect the the speaker on my phone drops low the notification sound, media sound everything is really low and a reboot fixes it. As for the GPS it searching for my location for like maybe a minutes its works but it lags i think....
[EVO 4G Original Development] copekyle:
A little more on the sound issue.

I've download an app to control volume (properly named "Volume Control"). When I experience the low volume after listening to headset or having the phone on vibrate only, I open up this app and all my sounds show that they are turned all the way up, when I adjust them all the way down and then back up, it fixes the sound... no reboot required. This leads me to believe there might be some programming oversight?
[EVO 4G Original Development] Captain_Throwback:
If I recall correctly, I had the volume issue too. What fixed it for me was simply making a phone call. After that, the volume would go back to normal (if this is the same issue).
[EVO 4G Original Development] NxNW:
I suppose the sound issues described above could explain why my alarm clock lights up but emits no sound *sometimes*.

Would we be helping the Evervolv development effort if someone alerted preludedrew about any of this? Tweet him about it? IRC chat? Is there somewhere we can post a logcat that the developers will see? Is there an evervolv bug tracker?

I mean it sounds like all the sound problems (and cosmetic lockscreen problems) arise from the phone app FC'ing when the far side initiates the disconnect.

Maybe if they can focus on fixing *that* the ROM will improve greatly.
[EVO 4G Original Development] meldryn:
is 2/14 the 4.2.2 build?

i see a lot of changes in the change log for the 2/14 build ... is this the 4.2.2 updates already? I don't have time to try it today, but am interested to see some feedback on it.

#evervolvrocks
[EVO 4G Original Development] dzee206:
yeah its the 4.2.2 update, it's pretty smooth didn't really get a good chance to play with it for a while as my battery wasn't charged.
[EVO 4G Original Development] copekyle:
So being that this is the 4.2.2 update, if I flash this, my gapps won't work anymore, correct? I did a quick google search for gapps for 4.2.2 but couldn't find any.

Also, I read the change log and it mentions at least two times that it "fixes a ringer issue", so this may be the audio fix we all have been hoping for. If anyone can verify it after flashing, that would be appreciated.
[EVO 4G Original Development] ironromulas:
Google voice search has never worked for me with this rom......anyone know the fix or maybe my phone is not liking this rom.
[EVO 4G Original Development] Captain_Throwback:
It works. I've used it on several occasions. It can be a bit sluggish, but it does catch up eventually. Make sure you've updated the app; otherwise it'll force close on you. Also make sure you've gone through the Now setup wizard as well.
[EVO 4G Original Development] ironromulas:
Updated the App, went through the wizard. tried several different nightly roms. No dice. never works always FC.
[EVO 4G Original Development] dzee206:
4.21 gaaps works fine im using the 12-12-12 version with the latest nightly didnt appear to break anything for me or atleast that i know of. just about to set up my apps and everything else.
[EVO 4G Original Development] NxNW:
Get someone to hang up on you: does phone FC?
[EVO 4G Original Development] Captain_Throwback:
Try clearing cache and data for Google Search and Google Services Framework. And make sure you have Location enabled and GPS working.
[EVO 4G Original Development] NxNW:
I answered my own question: still FC's..
[EVO 4G Original Development] dzee206:
wouldn't know if it did, my evo is deactivated and i only use it for music and let the kids play game on it. sorry couldn't be any help.
[EVO 4G Original Development] Captain_Throwback:
Mine isn't active either, but I still use it as a VoIP phone (it's my home phone, actually, linked to Google Voice). And I get the Phone FC as well, which is extremely inconvenient.
[EVO 4G Original Development] I Like Soup:
Well, as you can see from my sig, it has been quite some time since I've done anything with regards to updating my EVO. Since I gave my wife my upgrade (and then within two months we put her on Verizon using a Razr Maxx), I'm stuck with the EVO until I decide to jump ship. I figured I'd try to breathe new life in to my EVO and was quite shocked to see folks still supporting the EVO and getting it on Jelly Bean. I'm the techy person in the family, so my wife running around and showing me ICS and making fun of my phone is just torture! :) Google Now really piqued my interest in what was available for the EVO, and here I am. After a significant amount of reading through threads the last three or four days (Captain_Throwback is a wealth of information, by the way), I'm going to try on the Evervolv for size and hope it is the ROM for me as I'm not exactly a ROM whore or anything. LOL!

Anyway, I think what I'll be doing is the following;

Flash Smelkus Amon RA's recovery

Flash the combination zip with the latest radio, PRI, NV, and WIMAX (understanding it doesn't work on this ROM)

Flash the ROM - the nightly should suffice, correct?

Flash the 4.2 gapps file

Fix permissions - I've never done this, but I think from what I've read it is pretty evident was needs to be done

Boot up and let it settle

Donate

Does this all look like a logical way of getting my phone up to date to run Evervolv? I do understand the importance of clean wipes and clearing Dalvik/cache between steps, so I'll certainly pay attention to that. Thanks for any input y'all may have!
[EVO 4G Original Development] TroNit:

Big change log today, some of it pertaining to us. Check it out.
[EVO 4G Original Development] dieselford:
Seems to have a lot going on in the past week. Anyone been running any recent builds? Curious if there is noticeable improvement or not
[EVO 4G Original Development] NxNW:
The most recent bunch had a lot of camera-related items.

I don't honestly believe the Evo is capable of "zero shutter lag", but "zsl burst mode" was mentioned in one of those commits (i commented on it weeks ago, then it was abandoned, then it re-appeared, and now it's been merged) and I'll be curious to know if it applies to us.

Of course if any of those other items fixes the phone FC issue, that would be a real game-changer...
[EVO 4G Original Development] quicktimex:
Me too. I use the nightly 2013.02.14 version.

the phone often FC when end the call.
[EVO 4G Original Development] Coldfirex:
Working OK here so far. Camera still wigs out, but I'm used to that. :)
[EVO 4G Original Development] lijujg:
The 2.14 build was too laggy for me but 2.18 works as daily driver. Also installed the Mazwoz GPS fix which stabilized the GPS
[EVO 4G Original Development] NxNW:
the one thing no one said in the last few posts was whether the *2/17 nightly* fixes the phone FC's when the far side hangs up first.

i did see a commit that specifically addressed phone audio but not phone crashing per se.

guess i'll have to flash it which i enjoy doing just haven't had the time
[EVO 4G Original Development] Coldfirex:
Is that GPS fix still needed with the recent builds?
[EVO 4G Original Development] lijujg:
i had flaky GPS performance without it. As I use Waze quite a lot, I reinstalled the fix and that resolved it.
[EVO 4G Original Development] HunterZ0:
I'm still on the Feb 3 nightly, but I just started having stock alarm clock problems too. Specifically, when the alarm goes off, the screen turns on but there is no sound or vibration. I turned all my volume levels up and tested it again, but it didn't help (and the lack of vibration seems to be an indication of a deeper problem anyways).

After some googling, I decided to force stop + clear data on the Clock app. I then added a new test alarm, and it worked!

The problem is that I'm sure it will get into that state again. Maybe I will upgrade to the latest nightly and hope for the best, but it sucks being 15 minutes late to work :(

If it happens again, I'll probably try a third-party alarm clock app, as I'd rather not have to clear data on the clock app every night just to be safe :p
[EVO 4G Original Development] kmoo:
I think this is having the same issue as Mazwoz 4.2.1 Rom as they come from the same source, but the sounds is routing through the headset speaker, rather than through the speaker phone. Something is toggling it under certain situations. for me when I go from bluetooth in my car to sitting in my office I turn bluetooth off and it routes sound through the earpiece speaker, and then I have to use sound about and click the headset recognition toggle in an app called sound about, or run a music player and toggle it to fix it. Then it is good until the situation with bluetooth or sometimes after completing a phone call. Don't know what to capture when it's happening to help though.
[EVO 4G Original Development] HunterZ0:
I wonder if it could be triggered by the phone app force close issue?
[EVO 4G Original Development] hondafreak513:
Giving this ROM a go around while I wait for a new one..

[EVO 4G Original Development] hondafreak513:
Where is the copy of the 4.2.2 gapps at?
[EVO 4G Original Development] Chirpout:
There isn't one. The 12/12 version works fine.
[EVO 4G Original Development] cryptic3:
Using the 2/20 and my GPS locking on lag seems to have disappeared faster response time. Now the camera still glitchy. I notice hat it glitches when my finger is blocking the lens then moved but the burst mode is a sweet little bonus i really like jelly bean so I'm going to keep it as my daily regardless of the camera glitch. As far as the call force close i cant help my phone isn't in service but i use text plus and use that for my calling and text. The app itself has some issue though

[EVO 4G Original Development] I Like Soup:
Thanks Chirp. I may very well give 3/4 a try. While 2/18 was fairly smooth, I would have lag from time to time and a random reboot every now and then. I haven't really messed around with the kernel as I wanted to see how the new ROM (for me) worked. I'll have to go find Black Dome and try it out!
