I need help, I flashed this like an idiot, not reading the instructions, and now im in a bootloop.. well why dont I go into bootloader and back into recovery you ask? Well... My volume buttons are broke.. so there is no possible way for me to get into bootloader, and recovery.. Can you guys please suggest something? I need my phone... and I kinda screwed up.
[EVO 4G Android Development] bimmerman7:
Short of getting your volume buttons fixed or a replacement ( not sure if you have insurance ) you really don't have many options...getting to the bootloader is the answer to your problem...what exactly did you do wrong flashing this?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Bairdog35:
I have insurance, I guess I could give them a call. I didn't partition my sd-card before flashing.. therefore leading too bootloop, which I need to get into bootloader so I can get back to Recovery, but I can't because of my volume buttons..
[EVO 4G Android Development] kendallc123:
Oh, man...... that's tough. Your volume buttons are completely broke?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Bairdog35:
Yes ma'am.. They didn't work from day one.. I really don't want to get a replacement, because then I have to go through the whole process of rooting etc.. I just need to get into recovery! Ahhhh

What does it mean when It says Partition your SD card to 1024, 0 swap? Using minitool of course
[EVO 4G Android Development] CRIME INC.:
That's what u want, a 1024 partition 0 for swap and the rest fat32. Don't forget to back up ur card cuz partitioning will format it.

YES!:laugh: that was it! Awesome. Sorry but it didn't occur to me that that was the problem.

Thanks for the quick reply! I'm seriously loving my EVO again :) Ever since I went Nexus I couldn't stand the gingerbread look. I wanted to use the Evo as a wifi device in my house and "iPod" while on the go. I installed various ICS roms but they were just too much for the phone. The devs have done an incredible job porting 4.x to the Evo but the device just can't handle it well. I once tried a gingerbread rom that promised to give us the look of ICS but it was lacking in that regard.

This rom looks great and is super smooth. Congrats! Splendid job!
[EVO 4G Android Development] fictitiousexistence:
:eek: This rom is so fast compared to all the others I've tried. Now google voice opens speedily and the keyboard pops up in less then half an hour :D It can handle my uber goober fast typing. THANKS I do feel lost not being on jb though.

I just ROMed my phone so hard

[EVO 4G Android Development] gcamp0730:
I want to use a2sd, but in the OP it says to make sure your SD card is partitioned. I don't see any specific instructions for how to do that. I've searched this thread for how to partition, what size, etc. and haven't had any luck. Any ideas / guidance?
[EVO 4G Android Development] leon sprouse:
Its on page one of this thread . Look for DOWNLOAD 1.3
[EVO 4G Android Development] kendallc123:
Just a heads up, backup the things you want to keep like pictures, music, stuff like that. Then go into recovery (I recommend Smelkusmod) and go to "Partition SD card". Partition your card to 1024, 0 swap. Then upgrade ext2 to ext3 and then ext3 to ext4
[EVO 4G Android Development] meldryn:
If you have a2sd, then want to upgrade ... what is process to not lose all of your apps? Do you just assume you'll need to restore everything from titanium backup?
[EVO 4G Android Development] leon sprouse:
I do know that Google will back up and restore some things like photos and , I think, some apps but don't know what all they restore. A little help on this please, Kendall or someone.
[EVO 4G Android Development] SuperiorEVOlution18:
If you are JUST upgrading from ext 2 to 3 or from ext 3 to ext 4 then you will NOT lose anything. If you are ACTUALLY PARTITIONNING (choosing the size and swap and so forth) you will lose ALL data on the SD
[EVO 4G Android Development] Falcon204:
I've done the same however once I clear cache and restart my phone I get stuck on the loading X after restart. Tried even editing the build file in the zip file then did a full wipe and loaded the Rom with the edited build file and same thing get stuck on the loading X.
[EVO 4G Android Development] meldryn:
Let me be more specific - by upgrade i meant going from JellyBread 1.2 to 1.3. I currently use a2sd on my 1.2 ROM and am trying to understand how other upgrade. The simple use case is:

- Perform titanium backup of all apps

- Backup data on SD card [photos/music etc]

- Repartition SD card

- Install Jellybread 1.3

- Install a2sd

- Copy data back from SD card

- Restore apps from titanium backup

I was hoping that there would be a way to not repartition the sd card and that i could do something like this

- Perform titanium backup of all apps

- Don't backup sd card

- Install Jellybread 1.3

- Install a2sd

- <question> will my appdata that was on my a2sd partition be corrupted? will i need to reinstall all my apps even though the data is still there?

- will this be the titanium restore step and just recover over the old app data?

thanks! :confused:

Walking dead app.

[EVO 4G Android Development] Six6tring:
Hi Meldryn. It's been my experience that reinstalling the app from the Play Store or a Titanium backup will not recover any appdata that may still be on the a2sd partition. You should backup both the app and the appdata using Titanium and then restore them after you flash the new ROM. I have had no problems doing this with general apps, but restoring old SYSTEM apps and their data to a new ROM could be problematic.

Of course, you should always make a nandroid first in case anything goes wrong.

Icon Install

I like to change my Icons every now and then. I have found that some theme icons made for a different launcher other than Holo will install on this rom. Even though the associated theme does not install the icons will. Right now I am using the Glass Theme icons which I find are very nice and classy. This theme is made for Apex ,Nova , and Go themes but its icons work on this rom. I continue to use the Epic theme because I like the "Blue" keyboard etc but I use Jelly Bean wallpaper. In all I have at least 15 different icon packs installed including new "Jelly Bean" icon packs.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Mordred69:
I have to say, this ROM is awesome, and this is what I am running on my retired EVO. THANK YOU, OP! This is an awesome piece of work and it is EXTREMELY appreciated! My PowerAmp works flawlessly and I can now use the retired phone for all the things I want to, plus it has the looks I like. Snappy, beautiful, functional. Just great! :good:

I have been asking around for a while if someone has undertaken the task to REMOVE the call / radio components and there is a ROM that does it, but it's 4.0.4 - which makes Netflix and pretty much all other video apps useless, not to mention the rest of the issues ICS and JB have.

Do you (OP or anyone) think this can be done with this ROM as a special edition for those of us who want the ROM for our retired devices and won't use the script that's floating around or Airplane Mode? Removing the actual components yields more internal space and more battery life. Enabling WiFi-N would be a super plus :)

This is not intended to be a "request", just an Idea I can't run with because I have absolutely no time to learn how to work with ROMS. I have pitched it to other devs and all I've gotten is cold shoulders - not even a half reason why this won't or can't be done... when I am sure this will work wonderfully...

Again, THANK YOU for your wonderful work!

boot sound

Back when I was using V1.2 there was a mom made to add boot sound to the rom. will this mod work on V1.3 or do I need another mod or no mod at all for boot sound?
[EVO 4G Android Development] kendallc123:
If you still have the files, script, it whatever it was, it should work. I've never added a boot sound, but if you need to and don't remember how this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1364641 might work. I haven't tried it, but I'm off to work and can't test it out right now

This is rom doesn't support arabic

Hi,

I like this rom, I think it's the best rom on GB I've ever seen, but it doen't support arabic at least for Input, could you please fix this problem
[EVO 4G Android Development] kendallc123:
Hey, yeah sure. I'll add the language packs back in. So sorry about that :) I'll get a small update out tomorrow evening after work
[EVO 4G Android Development] kendallc123:
I'll definitely look into making a minimal media ROM. I like that idea! I'll do some research about it and see what I can find. Thanks :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] jamieg71:
Erase the phone.apk and any other system apps you don't want with a root explorer. You may gain a dozen or so Mb this way. Removal of the radios is not possible through the ROM. These exist on an entirely separate partition and would not gain you any system nor data space. Not to mention the removal of them would render your device a brick for all intents and purposes. It would be possible to build a ROM with out the few apps necessary for using the phone. We looked at this with ReLoaded. With it we decided that the few MB saved were not worth the trade offs. Keeping them ensures you still have a backup emergency device, retain location functionality for emergency purposes.

Possibly a better method to achieve what you are looking for would be with the firerat mod. You could use it to move free space to /data and greatly increase your on board storage.

Any progress with app compatibility? I tried changing the build prop but it didn't help me. Not interested in the games but it's not compatible with the Bank of America app. Other than that it's awesome.
[EVO 4G Android Development] kendallc123:
I have been searching and searching and I can't find a solid reason for why this is happening....? For me, this http://db.tt/fkSYqedK play store apk works and shows every app as compatible. I'm trying to figure out why it isn't working for some people. Hope that works for you. Just download the Vending.apk and install it
[EVO 4G Android Development] tC_Driver:
I can tell you that I did install this vending.apk before making any changes to my build prop. Simply installing this apk wasn't enough to fix the compatibility issues for me. It wasn't until I made the changes to my device information that I could install almost all other apps ( compatible with GB of course).

I am not sure if it would help, but I am more than willing to share my build prop if you think it could help troubleshoot this issue. It would be my pleasure to help others experience the full potential of this ROM.

Also, for your reference, the Bank of America app is compatible with my current setup so if we can mimic my build, you will be able to install it from the play store.
[EVO 4G Android Development] tvaughn:

[EVO 4G Android Development] leon sprouse:
Bank Of America app.

At one time I had the Bank of America app on my phone but removed it after loosing interest in this app. I hardly used it. After reading the posts on here about the app I looked in the removed app section on TB and found it v 3.2.181. I tried to restore the app but all that happens is it just keeps going on trying to install. This makes me think that something has changed with the phone that wont allow the app to install. I then go to the Play Store and search for the Bank of America app. When it finds it I hit install . Immediately I get the message" Your device is not compatible with this version" . Meaning ,I think, that the app is for a newer android operating system and wont work on the EVO4G. Why my old version wont install any longer is a mystery to me.
[EVO 4G Android Development] tvaughn:
Something similar happened to me. I tried to restore a version of gmail that I had backed up with TB and it would hang and never restore. I finally realized the version I was trying to restore was 4.x.x that I backed up when I was trying out a jellybean ROM. The latest version for a gingerbread ROM was 2.x.x which restored fine. This would indicate that there are multiple versions of apks of the same app and the Play Store delivers according to ones version of Android.

You might try The Market Helper app I posted the link to a few posts back. Someone posted they wanted Real Racing 3 and it wasn't available but by using this to spoof a HTC One X it shows up in the market for download.
[EVO 4G Android Development] tC_Driver:
Here it is. I hope it helps.

build.prop - 3.88 KB

---------- Post added at 11:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:57 PM ----------

I just jumped into the play store, found the BOA app, and installed it without the compatibility error. I bypassed the agreement when it first loads the app and I landed on the main page to sign in. It worked perfectly.

I included my build prop above for your reference if it is only tied to the device information and not a ROM issue. Good luck.
[EVO 4G Android Development] leon sprouse:
Thanks I installed the app "Market Helper" changed my phone from evo4g to Samsung galaxy S III and it allowed me to install. About 3/4 of way into the install (Bank of America) app got this " Error Missing shared library"

Tried twice got same error, changed back to evo4g as my device. Same error with HTC 1X as phone. I think this has to do with the installed Google apps, maybe one or more is missing. Kendall please help
[EVO 4G Android Development] kendallc123:
So, I'm testing a build right now. I've changed the build.prop to make the phone seem like a One X, but I broke being able to connecto to Google somehow... It might be the gapps I updated
[EVO 4G Android Development] kendallc123:
Now that I think about it, maybe I missed a permission or something when I added the Gapps in lol I'll fix it
[EVO 4G Android Development] kendallc123:
Updated to 1.4!

Fixed most market compatibility issues.. Extra steps required to fix some games/other apps (Please read below)

Example apps that are now compatible without a build.prop edit:

Starbucks

Nike+ Running

Beweather & widgets

The Weather Channel

Current Caller ID

Bank of America

I really am not sure how to get the games like real racing 3 and asphalt 7 to work without modifying the build.prop. To get them to work just use an app like Rom Toolbox and edit the build.prop. Change these lines below, save, and reboot.

Fix:

ro.product.model=HTC One X

ro.product.name=HTC One X

ro.product.device=HTC One X

ro.product.board=HTC One X

Examples of apps that work after the build.prop edit (Thanks tC_Driver):

Real Racing 3

Asphalt 7: Heat

Need For Speed Most Wanted
[EVO 4G Android Development] leon sprouse:
I looked into Rom Toolbox (which I had never heard of) after reading this. Again my thanks to Kendall, what a great app. I got the pro version and immediately installed one of its boot animations. A lot of the things this app will do are over my head but what I can do makes it a worth while addition to my apps..
[EVO 4G Android Development] kendallc123:
Yeah it's an amazing app, well worth the purchase! It does everything pretty much. You won't need to tweak anything really, because of the tweaks already built in. Just be wary about changing anything you're not sure of :)

Well after 13 years I have finally left sprint. But still have not left my HTC EVO behind. I am now using my evo on Google voice and ported my cell phone over to it. Still running this awesome Rom on it as well. Funny thing saving tons of money now I got me one of those little pocket wifi hotspots with a cheap $30 data plan and using it when I leave my house to still have phone service. Haha suck that Sprint with your over priced plans. I was paying $240 a month on 3 phone with Sprint and now way less than that.

Thanks for putting such a nice fast rom that works great with Google voice!

FYI I used the ROM tool box to edit the build prop and still get stuck on reboot. Not sure why that is happening when seeing others have no problem. "Things to make you go hummmm"

[EVO 4G Android Development] shinesthru:
I've been on Rope & Jamie's Reloaded for as long as I can remember (is nearly perfection for my trusty ol' Supersonic), so I'm really late to this party. Just flashed this today, and I gotta give you the slow clap. Bravo. The stability of GB, and the slick aesthetic of JB. Not to mention the speed that's come to be expected from a LOTK ROM. If that was your goal, You have met it with flying colors. Thanks for your work, and for sharing it with us.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Mordred69:
I agree with shinesthru 100%.

Now, I have read about using Google Voice, but me, I can't use it as such because for some reason, Google things Puerto Rico is still "International", and as such, I can't dial out. I DID manage to get a number for it with verification and all, but when I try to call out, it still grabs my phone number from my cell.

What I want to ask is, can I change the phone's number internally to match my existing google number and be able to make VoIP calls? If so, could anyone please guide me in doing so? The phone's number has been ported to AT&T and I am using it right now, so that's a non-issue.

Thanks.
[EVO 4G Android Development] kendallc123:
Thanks to both of you :) Your support is awesome!

I have no clue how to do that, but I'm guessing you'll have to talk to AT&T to change your main number to your Google voice one. Don't quote me on that though lol
[EVO 4G Android Development] Mordred69:
You're welcome, your work is awesome. Best yet for GB, IMHO

As for the number, my original number (we will call it 787 for its area code) was ported from Sprint to AT&T when I purchased my SG3. I was able to get a different number for Google Voice, area code 941, my old neighborhood in FL, which I have working on my EVO. IF I call that 941 number, my EVO 4G will ring. If I dial out of my EVO 4G, the call will not go through Google Voice 941 because it detects that the phone itself has an "international number" 787. Plus, we know my EVO is disconnected and it's still programmed with the 787 number.

My EVO 4G still has that 787 number but the unit is inactive. the 787 number belongs now to my SG3. What I mean to ask is, can I get into my phone and re-program it to recognize the 941 number so it uses that number instead of the current 787 number?
[EVO 4G Android Development] enigma2u2:
I maybe wrong but don't you have an option to use Google voice to make calls when you set up Google voice?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Mordred69:
You are correct, but it still goes out through your Data signal. My EVO is retired, e.g., no longer in service with Sprint.

I used GrooVe ip over wifi. , not on data plan with Evo.

I believe you have to flash a sense ROM such as digitalkarma or captain throwbacks, call your provider. Set the number to the phone. Then flash back to this.

deleted
[EVO 4G Android Development] Mordred69:
You're all probably going to shoot me for this but I had totally forgotten about GrooveIP.

I still have problems making calls to 787 area code as Google thinks it's international... which is why I wanted to see if I can switch numbers on the phone itself. Maybe put my Google number in there or a Callcentric one. Which brings me to the next comment:

jwitt418, thanks for the hint. I may be trying this... I think there's a tool out there that allows me to change this information and much more, I just have to look for it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] amart6116:
confused..

So i downloaded and flashed this ROM today which I'm LOVIN! I did however notice that the kernel says it's SBC. I also happened to have purchased "fastcharge widget" in the past so i downloaded it today thinking I'd be able to use it with this kernel. When I tried to create the widget on my screen the app said that this kernel does not support fastcharge... I'm confused. Is there a setting I'm not turning on or something..?:confused:
[EVO 4G Android Development] kendallc123:
Glad you're liking the ROM :) I don't know much about kernels but Mason G SBC kernel already enables fast charging in the kernel modules or something so you don't need to use the widget. I mean, my phone charges from 10% to 100% pretty darn fast already. Hope that explained it.. sort of. I'm oblivious when it comes to kernels!
