As for kk I wasn't asking about nightlies lol just builds in general. You wouldn't know where I could find local manifests/roomservice examples for this device would you.
[EVO 4G Original Development] TheCybertronian:
OK so I got evervolv kitkat branch compiled but we lack a recovery capable of flashing it properly lol. I tried using the recovery.IMG that built with evervolv but that failed so I'm going to plug away at that next. Either way thanks evervolv team for your hard work.
[EVO 4G Original Development] Captain_Throwback:
You tried this? http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=47580997
[EVO 4G Original Development] TheCybertronian:
I have not, I think I'll just compile a recovery. I would rather do it the right way and make sure. Thanks for the tip though.
[EVO 4G Original Development] Captain_Throwback:
You're going to compile a recovery kernel with the necessary flags for SELinux support? Sounds like fun. You sure you don't want to swap out the binary to make sure it at least boots first?
[EVO 4G Original Development] TheCybertronian:
Well that binary didn't work so like I said I'll just build my own recovery lol. Again thanks for the tip, I plan on compiling a bunch of stuff anyway as the evo is just a toy/pmp for me. There's no real risk involved on my end.
[EVO 4G Original Development] Captain_Throwback:
I use my EVO as a free phone, and am about to build KitKat for it as well. I did compile a kernel just now that might work - just trying to get the recovery flashed. I won't know whether it actually works until I build a ROM though.
[EVO 4G Original Development] TheCybertronian:
The recovery image failed for me it stuck at a red exclamation. I fastboot flashed back smelkus 4.3. I will keep trying if you wouldn't mind I'd love to work with you and maybe get things set up. Pm me if you want.
[EVO 4G Original Development] MarkEv0:
Its the best recovery hands down. Its been flawless.

I am running JMZ'z CM10,and it runs pretty decent most of the time except occasional reboot. I really have to have good working GPS and it is running fine on JMZ.

I know that we have to do the complete WIPE, but man that's a long time to get everything installed and configured. Has anyone gone from JMZ to this ROM by just wipe cache/dalvik?
[EVO 4G Original Development] Chirpout:
Reading change logs is kind of like reading Mandarin to me, have there been any substantial changes after the 11/01 nightly?
[EVO 4G Original Development] mirage1234:
I was running JMZ CM10 up until yesterday when I found out he discontinued. I did a full wipe and loaded this rom which runs as smoothly as JMZ. I loaded this rom hoping the "sporatic wake lock" issue would be resolved...it is the same issue here as on JMZ.

A few things not here: 1) 9016 text issue still pops up (annoying), 2) No (cm trebuchet) launcher loaded to manage home screens, 3) Apollo music app not included here, 4) power button options at top of pulldown not available or I can't find it. Not sure about GPS yet...

I hope JMZ can help the team incorporate some of the nice features he had in his rom.
[EVO 4G Original Development] Coldfirex:
I too switched yesterday from JMZ's rom. Running good so far. It does not have the max cpu issue of reverting to 614mhz. :)
[EVO 4G Original Development] partyman1971:
Here is the GPS fix that works. You know that a2sd works on this ROM right?
[EVO 4G Original Development] Coldfirex:
Is this fix required? Do we know if GPS isn't already working in this rom?
[EVO 4G Original Development] MarkEv0:
My GPS connected pretty quickly I know it varies
[EVO 4G Original Development] msherwood:
I switched from JMZ where GPS was flawless with a full wipe

and needed the GPS fix to get a lock.

I think it might be because 614 was the default clock speed in JMZ. 998 here, so you don't notice a drop. Maybe?

Loving this ROM. Fast, smooth, no FCs or reboots. Can't wait for some JMZ magic on this too. Smartass v2, launcher and notification and lockscreen tweaks, and hopefully 4.2 will hurry up and get the AOSP treatment soon. Early Christmas for EVO owners?
[EVO 4G Original Development] Kenpoman:
I do not get the 9016 on this rom ( i have on others ) try the cm 10 messaging app

use nova launcher ( way better than trebuchet )

apollo music can be added by yourself.

drew is working on a power widget.

I used the persistant gps fix

If you want cm 10 features then run cm10. this is AOSP.
[EVO 4G Original Development] mirage1234:
How does the cm10 messaging app eliminate the 9016 text messages? And does it replace the current text app or is it in addition to the current one...

I still have the sporatic wake issue where the phone does not respond after being asleep (screen off for a period of time). This is a much bigger issue. Jelly Bean is the first rom(s) that I have experienced this issue. I think it has to do with the battery saving features -- powering down to hibernate which saves battery but then does not come back on....on the flip side, my battery life has never been better.
[EVO 4G Original Development] partyman1971:
Try this kernel, i use it and i works great and the screen comes on after being asleep almost instantly. I use 422/1075 and Mazwoz governor. The battery life is great since it is SBC.

Here is the info on it.......http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1965323
[EVO 4G Original Development] Kenpoman:
the cm 10 messaging app ( look through this thread for a flashable zip) did not have the 9016 issue to my knowledge. it will replace the stock app.

the mazwoz kernel works great with no wake issues
[EVO 4G Original Development] partyman1971:
Here is the CM10 messaging app Kenpoman is referring to.
[EVO 4G Original Development] Coldfirex:
What are the main differences between the CM and AOSP versions?
[EVO 4G Original Development] partyman1971:
Basically the quick reply feature.
[EVO 4G Original Development] MondoMor:
Coming from JMZ's CM10 to this one. My first experience with an Evervolv ROM and I'm liking it very much. My EVO is just a music player these days so I can't comment on the mobile features, but so far everything that matters (i.e. WiFi, Bluetooth, sleep, etc.) works perfectly and it's very smooth. Thank you!
[EVO 4G Original Development] mirage1234:
I installed both cm10 messaging app and mazwoz kernel (changed to 422/1075) to see if it resolves issues. I appreciate the quick responses and assistance.
[EVO 4G Original Development] mhwarfield:
Ok... My latest attempt to move from JMZ to Evervolv went a little bit futher but then hit a roadblock and caught fire and burned getting back.

First off, I tried the Smelkus Amon Ra recovery. I'll say, to each his own. Does it have a companion app like CWM and RomManager? That was my major stumbling block. When I finally had to drop back to JMZs CM10 by restoring, I couldn't find the Nandroid backup I had created using Amon RA but restored from a CWM backup and that turned into a 24 hour ordeal of trying to get my phone back into reasonable shape. :(

That ordeal including getting it back up far enough to get CWM reinstalled and redoing the recovery. Probably not the fault of either recovery ROM or either of the operating ROMs but attempting switching between both at the same time and then restore to a previous state created a disaster.

The lack in integration with RomManager is a show stopper for me and the attempt with Amon Ra gave me no advantage over manual recovery operation from CWM. No offense to those that love it, to each his own. If someone can tell me how to set up Amon Ra so that RomManager can manage backups and restores and have it automatic where I don't have to be fiddling around in recovery, that would be great. I'll give it another shot. :D

On to my big problem... I use Nova Launcher. I found that with every version of Evervolv I tried, Nova Launcher would not install. I would get "Insufficient Storage" and it would fail. I tried everything short of side loading it from a saved apk. I watched from an adb shell while the installation progress and storage never went near any limits. I went so far as to carefully avoid the automatic restore from the Play market of my 150+ apps and just tried to install Nova as early as possible (both with and without having run "a2sd install" as root from adb first). Even with only something like 6 apps on the system and gobbs of free space on /sdcard, /sd-ext, /system, and /data, it still fails with "Insufficient storage". Trebuchet is nice but doesn't hold a candle to Nova. So something is weird here and weird enough that I was forced back to JMZ CM10 for that reason alone. And that's when the headaches with Amon Ra and the restore occured. :p

I'll give it another shot later so I can get over to a maintained ROM and I'll try Amon Ra again eventually...

Had aosp kitkat booting last month, unstable but nonetheless...... Flashed fine after I removed that top line in the updater-script using smelkus..... Although, I manually set up my core, vold, build, and vendor dirs...... I was planning on coming back to it, but I've been insanely lazy lately.

I posted a blak-kat (kitkat) download on android.aokforums.com for anyone that can get the recovery built......... I don't have a device to test recovery and it will not flash with smelkus. Trust me, I tried.
[EVO 4G Original Development] Chirpout:
Happy New Year,

I've been away from the thread for a while. Do you have a 4.2.2 or 4.3 ROM for the og that's not themed? I lost my main phone and have to bring this out of retirement for the time being.
[EVO 4G Original Development] Wambo_:
If you go back a few pages, there is an archive page for Evervolv. You can get a good 4.2 from there.
[EVO 4G Original Development] toplist:
I would like to flash it on my Evo but couldn't find it. The latest rom for supersonic was black-kang 4.3.1. Searched for blak-kat but no results.

The same applies.

just want to verify that this can be flashed for the OG Evo 4G?? ive been waiting and hoping this is it!! :) thanx wambo and all who helped if it is!! :)
[EVO 4G Original Development] Wambo_:
you can try flashing it.... I tried and failed with smelkus, and I cant try a diff recovery because I am s-on with no USB port..... so if you get it with twrp or some other way, cool, but its a no go on smelkus.... and likely twrp as well. but try anyways if you wish.
[EVO 4G Original Development] toplist:
I tried flashing using various versions of twrp and the touch cwm available for supersonic but no results. Twrp says no md5 file found.

Thanks for the warning;) I did a backup beforehand and I'm back again on your OGKang M2. Sorry that I couldn't come to any use.
[EVO 4G Original Development] videokid14:
what would you recommend to be the best recovery /or way to flash blak kat on the OG evo?? i just downloaded stock twrp cwm amon ra recoveries. i will try them all if i have too!! lol
[EVO 4G Original Development] Wambo_:
Thats just it. We'd need an up-to-date recovery.

Just any old recovery won't do the trick.

I'm busy on our website right now, but if I get a chance in the next couple weeks, I'll work on it some more.

I tried a few recommended methods to get it going, but hit a wall.

I'm sure with some more work, possibly with a different source altogether, it can happen.

I'll keep you guys posted.
[EVO 4G Original Development] TheCybertronian:
Wambo did you look at the recovery IMG produced by your ROM build?
[EVO 4G Original Development] Wambo_:

[EVO 4G Original Development] TheCybertronian:
Why would it be pointless it's still reliant on our device sources. I'm s-off but on an ancient hboot. My holidays ended where the winter storm began so my compiling has been put on hold lol. I can test if needed.
[EVO 4G Original Development] videokid14:
how do i achieve s-off?? if i can get s-off ill help test.

also i flashed twrp 2.6.3.0 and flashed blak kat and it said successfull but i tried twice and i get stuck on the white htc evo splash screen both times. wont boot past it.

i dont know if its progress or not lol :)
[EVO 4G Original Development] Wambo_:
Well.... Can you get a logcat? Using adb.
[EVO 4G Original Development] videokid14:

[EVO 4G Original Development] Captain_Throwback:
Go to terminal and run a2sd install. Not sure if you need to su first.

Where are you looking to see your internal storage size? I don't think that's going to change. You'll see the a2sd show up in an app like Titanium Backup, though.
[EVO 4G Original Development] RokuP:
I noticed the same thing. I am using Mounts2SD with this; works great. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2432479

You should grab both the APK and the recovery zip. I set it to move System and Dalvik to SD-Ext.

Titanium backup can do some neat tricks, too. I used it to move ONLY the Google TTS HQ Voice data (~244 MB) to SD-Ext. All other data stays on Internal because there is a class 4 SD Card in there (not my phone; a friends. I wouldn't be caught dead using class 4 myself, lol).
[EVO 4G Original Development] vinman12:

Same here. Everything works fine except one small issue. Display incorrect space usage in settings app.

Another observation is Captains ROM have a better WiFi connection. It never drop. With vinman12 ROM it drops and takes a minute to reconnect. I'm using in my bedroom with door close. Router in living room.
[EVO 4G Original Development] magi44ken:
Thanks for the tip. I will install and play with when flash next time. I just I install a2sd but like mount2sd for it's GUI. Im still confuse with different content to move. Some said only move app and app data for slow SD card, not dalvik etc.

Right now I have app data and dalvik cache move for testing a2sd. Performance is good so far.
