senseless...

lol. I'm trying to get everything to work and you want me to pull stuff out????

I'll see what I can do...
[HTC Amaze 4G] mchstream:
cool beans

thank you for your development chevycowboyusa. i look forward to trying out this rom. had the sensation with viper 'till it went high speed into a concrete wall. let ya'll know how it goes after a few days usage. peace
[HTC Amaze 4G] SuperAfnan:
lol I didnt mean it like that but that isnt really that important you should try and fix everything first. ^_^ :)
[HTC Amaze 4G] chevycowboyusa:
lol

Lol.. I know what you meant
[HTC Amaze 4G] SuperAfnan:
Say, I have a question.

Where did you learn to develop for android? Do you need to know java and linux? I want to program and build roms in the future. :D

I learned here. Google is a great tool.

I am learning linux and java every day.

Most of the stuff I've done here is drag and drop. Try this and try that. I am just now getting into the core programming.

Start with porting and understanding the structure. There are some good guides here for porting roms
[HTC Amaze 4G] SuperAfnan:

I've almost figured out WiFi calling
[HTC Amaze 4G] mchstream:
root permissions

just installed 2 clean installations, just to be sure, but the superuser does not prompt about root access apps. log is empty and anything can access root. what did i do wrong. i verified with both installations that it should prompt and all the checked boxes.

did i miss something?

otherwise seems to be running excellent and fast.
[HTC Amaze 4G] chevycowboyusa:
Nope. That's the venom super user app. It comes included in the Rom.

It's posted on another page how to change to a different one. I have to include it in the Rom. But you can change it.
[HTC Amaze 4G] mchstream:
awsome

thanks for the instant reply. :D installed new one. thank you. i am absolutely loving this one so far. if the battery last then this is the perfect amaze rom. viper rocks for the amaze and sensation.
[HTC Amaze 4G] chevycowboyusa:
You're welcome

Now if I can get past the invalid sim error I can get wifi calling fully working!

This Rom is just amazing and smooth. When I check settings>about phone, it says sense 4.0 instead of 4.1. Is this normal?

That's one of the minor things I haven't been able to fix yet.
[HTC Amaze 4G] mrlokoo:
Hey guys, wondering how good is the GPS??
[HTC Amaze 4G] chevycowboyusa:
It's great. Depending on what country you're in. There's an app called faster fix ( included ). Use that to choose your server for GPS.

It helps a lot.

[HTC Amaze 4G] anasmunir:
Dear Chevy, should I dirty flash the new 1.6.5 ROM over my previous 1.6.4.1 installation?

Or should I do a clean install after full wipe?

Your recommendation?

i love the rom bbut i cant seem to use bluetooth or wifi tether and i sort of really need it ;(
[HTC Amaze 4G] SuperAfnan:
Since the small update zip didn't work for us you should do a clean install. ;)
[HTC Amaze 4G] anasmunir:
My friend I am not asking about the small update zip file, I am asking about dirty flashing the new 1.6.5 ROM over the previous ROM.

If there is a BT progress, dev would provide an update.

You can dirty flash, just clear cache and dalvik before boot up the new update.

There were no changes to the system apk files nor to the framework apk.

I'm getting some really bad battery life. :( I'm lucky if it runs for 9 hours. I overclock but I have it set to 1.62Ghz and ondemand as governor. I also supercharged and undervolted. Nothing I seem to do works:/ I've gone through battery cycles over and over but I still get bad battery life. Any help?
[HTC Amaze 4G] uvt_novice:
Check what applications you have running in the background. Maybe some of them drain your battery (I had a problem with Groupon while running on Sense 4.x which turned On my GPS and kept it ON until I reboot) - look at the battery statistics in the Settings.

Also, turn sync off since phone syncs your all accounts every frrkn hour. If you don't use internet all the time, turn it off as well when not in use.
[HTC Amaze 4G] SuperAfnan:
I have great battery life so far. Thanks Chevy! :D Btw this is under clocked and under volted to 1.2 ghz and - 100 volts on faux kernel v029
[HTC Amaze 4G] anasmunir:
Seems your wifi is continuously running. You can get even more juice from your battery if you'll turn it off during sleep.

Goto Settings > Wi-Fi > Menu > Advanced > Keep Wi-fi on during sleep. And change the option from 'Always' to 'Never' or 'When plugged in' (whatever suits you). ;)

Beamed from my HTC Amaze 4G using xda premium :D
[HTC Amaze 4G] blast0id:
what kernel? what does better battery stats tell you is using the most battery?
[HTC Amaze 4G] nitsuj17:
thats controlled by the sense definition in the ext.jar
[HTC Amaze 4G] chevycowboyusa:
Back up old version in 4ext. Wipe and flash new version. Restore old data only. Fix permissions. Reboot and enjoy!
[HTC Amaze 4G] chevycowboyusa:
It's being worked on right now... :)
[HTC Amaze 4G] chevycowboyusa:
Did you try Bluetooth? That's the biggest thing that runs the battery down.

BLUETOOTH DOES NOT TURN COMPLETELY OFF!

Just trying to make sure everyone understands that.

If you turned it on. Turn it off and do a full reboot!

If that doesn't work. Superwipe and reflash the Rom.
[HTC Amaze 4G] ccbm3:
Yeah ive never tried it. I read the thread since it started so I've been careful on what to try.

Can you direct me to the superwipe link? I'll give it a try.
[HTC Amaze 4G] chevycowboyusa:
Here you are! I also use the full wipe thru 4ext. Format all partitions except sdcards. It doesn't wipe internal or external sdcards.

It works the same way as the zip file.

The zip is from Mike1986 (thanks Mike)

[HTC Amaze 4G] blast0id:
yeah, no need for that script... I actually use 4ext recovery > tools > format EXT4 > factory/data reset + format system (both from same menu) I think the "wipe all except SD" accomplishes the same thing... but that's ok...
[HTC Amaze 4G] F9zSlavik:
I'm curious to know is BT on this rom harder to fix then say on CM10.1 (which is working)?

I am still trying to wrap my hands around this concept.

Fact that you guys are having such a hard time with getting basic things to work on this phone, is that HTC fault? And what could they do to make this easier for you to get basic things working?
[HTC Amaze 4G] blast0id:
it's no where near as simple as it sounds... trust me on this, for someone like m0narx it might not be that difficult, but for these budding devs, trust me it's daunting... I wish there wasn't so much hate for sense in general it would be much easier for our devs to get help from other devs in the community... but there just aren't that many devs who are willing to spend the time it takes to fix a problem that doesn't concern THEIR device... and yes, HTC makes it much more difficult than it needs to be...
[HTC Amaze 4G] mgp53:
I am currently using the deodoxed version of stock with the latest radio, S=ON.

If I flash this, will it revert me back to the older radio?

Thanks
[HTC Amaze 4G] ravike14:
No :)
[HTC Amaze 4G] chevycowboyusa:
The radio is not included in this Rom.
[HTC Amaze 4G] F9zSlavik:
I figure it was not simple. I can do amazing things with Computers (hardware/software Windows base) but my knowledge on Linux are limited and even less when it comes to what you guys do. If I knew enough I would love to be a contributor.

Personally, I like the sense Skin.

Why wouldn't other Devs want to help? I mean it's a community, isn't it? This is a accumulation of knowledge, a master mind, having a strong community helping one another even if it does not benefit them.

I am assuming that Sense 4.1 and ICS is the last possible Sense update for the Amaze right?

The other venom devs are looking at rebaseing the Rom. It might help with the base level issues.

So far it boots. But no Wi-Fi data Bluetooth or anything important. I'll be working on this project and will also be working on porting the viper jellybean release. But we will most likely have the same issues.with jellybean as we do with 4.1
[HTC Amaze 4G] SuperAfnan:

They were working fine just a day ago.'

EDIT...

Now having serious issues, Titanium joined this problem and worse yet "android.process.acore process has stopped working" is popping up every 10 seconds making the phone nearly impossible to use.

:(

Now Faux has joined the list and it looks like more apps as I try to use them.
[HTC Amaze 4G] ccbm3:
Try to fix permissions. Had that problem myself. Had to reflash the entire Rom.

Which version of the rom? How did you restore your data? Did you fix permissions in 4ext?

What is so hard about flashing a Rom it's simple u usually make a backup of the previous Rom then manually mount my partitions in 4ext and do a full wipe of everything except external sd when I'm done I mount partitions again and use the super wipe script for the amaze then reboot again in recovery then flash the new Rom I do all that to make sure nothing goes wrong

Is anyone having a problem with signing in to HTC peep
[HTC Amaze 4G] 05TurboS2K:
Well my stock RUU gave tons of random reboots, like three to five a day. Viper gives me one every day or two. Much better it seems. Wonder why my phone does it, tried multiple batteries.
[HTC Amaze 4G] uvt_novice:
Lol! Battery is not the cause of random reboots! :laugh:

There might be a "out of memory" issues. You need to fix the OOM Groupings. Go to Venom tweaks and choose the OOM to "Aggressive". Also, fix permissions, then reboot.

[HTC Amaze 4G] 05TurboS2K:
Have anything better in terms of a list of current tasks/operations occurring? Obviously something is working away, how many mhz you running at?
[HTC Amaze 4G] uvt_novice:
When there is an undervolting issue, the phone gets stuck - not responding completely. You gotta pull the battery off and put it back in and then boot up. Yet, the kernel in this ROM running at its minimum of 800 which is pretty much OK.
[HTC Amaze 4G] jkozan:
Had a bad battery before I got my anchors so I kill everything when I am done using the phone.
[HTC Amaze 4G] chevycowboyusa:
Did you try Bluetooth? If you turned on Bluetooth it doesn't completely turn off and will suck your battery down fast. You have to do a full reboot to get it to stop.

In settings, developer options there is a show cpu options on screen. That will show you what's running. It's very helpful to narrow stuff down. If you ever see Bluetoothd running you need to do a full reboot.
[HTC Amaze 4G] ccbm3:
Alright battery is good now but I'm getting random freezes. The same settings from before only now I didn't supercharge and I formated the phone as ext4. Any ideas?
[HTC Amaze 4G] chevycowboyusa:
Freezing

What kernel are you running?
[HTC Amaze 4G] jkozan:
Yeah Chevy I read the form and I didn't turn on Bluetooth and also its not running. I put in my other battery and I've been running hard since I'll post some screenshots here in a little bit of my usage I'm running apps. Love the ROM though and the email I just got from Dropbox with another free 23 gigs of space.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Petronoid:

I see a section about low memory task killing, no "aggressive" option is offered, it's either stock or varying degrees of multi-tasking from "multi-task" to "Xtreme multi-task" which gives lower mem settings on the slide bars. ..... not sure what to do there. I can also manually set each slide bar.

Fixing permissions failed until I tried it using 4ext.

Hi Eric!

I pulled files directly from the ota. I downloaded a few Wi-Fi calling fix files and looked at the files they contained and pulled them from the ota.

I'll have to replicate what I did because the file I was working with got corrupted during a recompile. But it's really easy to redo.

after changing that setting, it should light up the "quick reboot phone" icon in the top right, if that doesn't light up try toggling off/on or on/off a couple other settings on the same page until it does light up, then do the quick reboot... it should stick after that... if it doesn't then it may be the stupid venomSU app isn't working properly, and you should flash a different superuser app...

Not sure why but it now hangs in the "AMAZING" screen where it says "beats audio" below. I tried to install the ROM over the top, tried a kernel install after that. Tried wiping cache, tried fixing permissions..... nothing.

Clean wipe time? Hoping that will work even. :(

*Edit*> Clean wiping as we speak. Sadly I'm loosing some photos and things that weren't on my SD, what a bummer there but it was dumb to not have backed them up. Also my "restore" option didn't work.

So.. I am pretty sure I see why Bluetooth is NOT functioning. The entire Rom is littered with references to a broadcom by chipset (stRt on build.prop)

Our amaze actually uses the combined WiFi/bt from t-I.

So if you check logcats you'll see that it's actually trying to use the broadcom driver. Now.. how to fix this? I don't even know where to start but I'll try. I have a couple of Ideas .. but sense is world tel owned for integrating itself deep... If you check sensation sense 4 eroms they were littered with the same issues we have here...but the real crappy part is the sensation doesn't use the same TI chipset! If you check rfkill the ti chip is in rfkill0...while the bcrm chip is rfkill1 I think.. going to toy around with unit and startup stuff who knows.. could really use someone who knows more about this. WiFi tether is also a bear.. I think we might be able to get a version working with hostapd but I'm still toying with it

great start Eric! I have noticed that bluetooth on sense 3.6 uses bluetoothftps and sense 4+ uses brcmservises if that helps any.

Also the model ID is incorrect in the build.prop (comparing the ota buildprop to the one in the rom)
[HTC Amaze 4G] chevycowboyusa:
no sound

Thas has been an issue a very few people have been having.

It's usually due to a bad download or not wiping good enough.

Use 4ext recovery and wipe all partitions except sdcard, redownload the rom and check the md5sum. also if your s-on make sure you have smartflash enabled.

good luck and report back if that doesn't fix it!
[HTC Amaze 4G] chevycowboyusa:
no boot.....

Damn dude! That's rough! I've had hangs at the amazing screen before, but I'm running test builds every day and sometimes it craps up.

If you can get it booting again, pull a logcat so we can work on it.

Also what location are you? which build are you trying? we are at 1.6.5 now. Are you s-on or s-off ? Did you use the wipe all partitions except sdcard in 4ext?

It does sadly sound like you have a bad partition/device.
