OP Updated

Second post updated with link to Carbon KK (4.4.1)

This is an alpha release follow etiquet in post 2 for reporting bugs, otherwise...

save it, I'm probably already aware.

Please be sure to have the correct recovery, one can be found in the OP of Deck's CM11 thread here.

Also flash 4.4 gapps... duh derp

Enjoy.

Just when I was feeling good about running SKA, you have to drop this. Downloading now.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jamieg71:
This is not too shabby at all. Pretty impressed with their progress so far. I'm working on upping the ante here soon. I thought I was building a one off custom highly opted aosp recently. Progress has been outstanding. Then this morning, I realized, everything I've been working on the past couple months, it can all be applied to any ROM ANYONE builds. So I'm putting the brakes on that project as it stands and going to focus on implementing some goodness to use as the foundation to build any given ROM.

This build does not reflect my personal tweaks, consider this a "before". ;)

Can't connect to external sd card from PC

Love this ROM, but am having trouble. All I want to do is plug my phone into my PC and be able to access my external SD Card. I can access the internal card, but not the external card. I've been able to do it on other ROMs, but can't with this one. I've searched this and other threads with no luck. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

It is called sdcard1 on this ROM. Not sure if that helps.

Have you tried mounting in recovery?

Sent from a haunted carbon image of an EVO LTE
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ehess:
No. Is that the only way to do it? With the other ROMs I was using,

I'd just hook my phone to the PC with a USB cable and both the

internal and external cards would be visible. I would be able to

copy/move files between them or to them. It acted just like another

drive on my PC.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] fredgar75:

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Link420able:
On any ROM that would not mount SD card just by selecting mount when I plugged it in, including decks cm11, I had to mount from recovery and from there they worked perfectly.

Granted, I have not tested this build yet.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ehess:
So I go into recovery, and then connect to the PC?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] numel007:
Yes. All aosp and cm Roms will automatically mount internal, but not external. Sense Roms will mount both at the same time. You will need to either go into recovery or use a microsd adapter to mount external.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] fredgar75:
Yes then goto mount and mount external SD.

[MENTION=285468]Jamie[/MENTION], I know this is still alpha and you probably know but I'm having data hand off issues like the cm11 builds. It's no where near as bad but it is still there. I didn't bother to get a log of it cause I know it has been a known issue. Still lighting fast though.

Sent from a haunted carbon image of an EVO LTE
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jamieg71:
Yeah I've experienced this as well. And it really should have all the same device/data related issues as CM. I used CM device tree and kernel to build it. Pretty much every custom ROM made for this device will always have the same issues/bugs as CM. Everyone uses CM device tree and kernel, or a slightly modified kang thereof. Lol

I think it's still pretty early on really with KK so have faith it will get better. Decks a pimp with this stuff.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] NineInchNails:
Its always upstream and we build off of that. If they have issues then we do too.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] adamlee011:
Progress is blistering fast as usual. Who can keep up? Seeing as I finally got ska stable and I need stable, I'll wait for pac to be ready and give that a go. That was always my favorite and it's been a while since I've been on it. It was a little dicey last I ran it compared to carbon.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jamieg71:
The alpha builds, so far, are stable as anything else I've ran. 4.4.+ is looking really good for PAC.

Alright I'll do it quit twisting my arm. It's about time to activate my evo again anyway. Done testing for the I've for a while. A little while at least.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] audiovicious:
Maybe someone can help me with the audio trouble I'm having. Whenever I use the music player (I use Power Amp) to play audio through my car the volume is always very very very low. I have to turn the in car sound to max for it to be audible. At this volume though, you can hear this empty air noise with the music, which just makes it sound even worse.

I tried tweaking some of the settings in Viper4Android and Power Amp, maybe I need to just sit in the car and mess with settings in both until something works. I'd like to be able to listen to it at a reasonable volume without the car stereo volume all the way up with that empty air hiss noise, or any kind of distortion. Is there anyone that can please help? It's driving me crazy. I never had this problem on Sense ROMs (I could use the Beats audio setting.) It'd jack up the audio level and the bass, but I could just edit the car settings to adjust to the bass increase and get the desired volume, now, everything is super low while in car. I'd almost like to get back to how I had it on Sense, but I seem to have this problem on all CM based ROMs. Just got a lot of new music on my phone and it sucks I can't enjoy most of it in my car.

Thanks for any help guys, it's driving me crazy.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ssojyeti2:
Are you using a custom IRS file with V4A? [MENTION=2921280]audiovicious[/MENTION]
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] audiovicious:
Um, no idea? I was pretty unfamiliar with it and some of the settings, but it didn't seem to make much difference then from before. I selected the bottom option when it asked me for a driver. Neon with something or another, I don't recall. Should I be using an IRS file?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] eepyikes:
I never had huge volume problems with CM Roms, but I've had the high frequency hiss. Some people said it may be a grounding issue, but iPhones never seem to have the problem, and about 80% of the time, my stock rooted doesn't have the problem. Still occasionally does. I don't know if that hiss is what you mean by empty air noise...just sounds like an annoying and constant shrilly beep.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] audiovicious:
No, I know the grounding sort of noise you're talking about. The issue is that it's at maximum volume, but the actual output is so low that you hear the dead air kind of noise over it. It's hard to explain, but someone that knows what I'm talking about will understand. Really wanna solve this.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] adamlee011:
Yea it's the source signal is too low and trying to compensate by cranking the head. "Pre and post" your pre signal is not hot enough. It's strange because I've never had that problem. I knock it down one or two from max so it doesn't clip. I still have a signal problem with haunted on 4.3.1 but I like ska because the sound seems full and loud.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] audiovicious:
I'm a pretty big hiphop head, and I'm using Haunted Carbon if that makes a difference.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] adamlee011:
That was my setup for the past month or so. Can't complain.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ssojyeti2:
take that as a no, lol. I highly recommend using custom IRS files, but since those aren't your problem, make sure you installed the correct driver. If I'm not mistaken, the newest version of V4A auto chooses which driver to use, so go grab the new version. Also for full audio effect I recommend disabling direct volume control in poweramp, and also enabling the music fx button.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] audiovicious:
It was doing this before Viper4Android, I finally did the driver install after hoping I could play with it to fix it, I don't think that's my issue. Also, it gave me a list of 4 drivers when I installed it, I Googled to make sure the one I was selecting was the one I needed, but I'll look into the new version.

I have the Music FX button on in Poweramp, where is the direct volume control selection at?

EDIT: Found it. Suggestions on Poweramp EQ, or the tone and limit selections?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] fredgar75:
I believe the problem with the sound is using power amp and v4a together. Try it with power amp settings set to default. Also go into settings/ sound/ music and choose which to use. V4a or power amp. This option only shows if you have more than one sound adjusting app. Also delete DSP manager.

Sent from a haunted carbon image of an EVO LTE
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ssojyeti2:
I normally disable those and use my V4A equalizer instead. If you want, I can upload my audio preset file for you and also the IRS file I use

But yeah it definitely seems like the audio issue is rom side
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] audiovicious:
DSP uninstalled, EQ, TONE, and LIMIT turned off in Poweramp, and the Direct Volume Control is off. At work, won't be in my car for awhile, will report back. Thanks so far though guys.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jamieg71:
Hey I wouldn't mind taking you up on that set up if you don't mind posting it. Seems that since I've gone back to concrete I reremembered I've got a ton of music. I hadn't even loafed one song in this device since I bought it release day.

So for what its worth, this and any other builds from me, from here, out are gonna have tweaks specifically for better audio.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] adamlee011:
Your settings on power amp and v4a should have absolutely nothing to do with it. Freeze or uninstall dsp manager for sure if you're going to use v4a. Try installing v4a from scratch. I know on my one I had to do some build.prop edits and copy the lib file out of the v4a apk to system/lib to get it to work at all. Also check out v4a's compatibility mode. Not sure how you should set that up.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] audiovicious:
I uninstalled DSP and am running V4A in compat. mode. It came installed with the ROM so I assumed it would work "out of the box". Gonna try it all out when I get to my car.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] numel007:
Finally I can break out my inner audiophile without installing crappy equalizers. I swear that back in the day when I still had the Optimus S, my flac sounded much better than it does on the evo. No idea why... Soundchip wasn't exactly stellar on that phone either.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] NineInchNails:
Someone say audio? :)

I'll see what I can do eventually. DB is setup for the best audio I've ever gotten on the LTE and why I'll never sell it.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ssojyeti2:
Ok make sure there is a folder on your internal storage called ViPER4Android (no typos). If it isn't there make it...Inside that folder make a folder called "Kernel" and another called "Profile". Place these files inside the Kernel folder:1, 2, and 3. Place this file inside the Profile folder. Open V4A FX, install the drivers, then switch to the headset tab and load the profile. If you use poweramp, do all the stuff I said, and disable direct volume control and enable the music fx button. These settings can be found in /audio/advanced. No tweaking should be needed for other music players I think unless they use EQs like poweramp does.

Enjoy :D

Edit: also I should mention that to get V4A to work, I think you need to open build.prop and change the line "lpa.decode=true" to "lpa.decode=false"

Decided to give this one a try tonight. Everything is working great except I can't get my Google calendars to work. Anyone else seeing this?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] HDRules:
Yeah, I've had that issue too. Just download Google Calendar from the Play Store and you should be all set.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] henderjr:
I installed that app first thing and it'd let me select what calendars to display but then nothing. I go back in the settings and it would show I didn't select any calendars. Not sure what the deal is. I tried a factory reset and same thing.

edit: I was able to see my calendar after adding a second gmail account that I have but never use and sharing my calendar to it. Very odd. But I'm good for now. :)

edit again: Google Calendar update in playstore and everything works fine now.

I did notice I can't use ADB in "normal" mode. Works fine in recovery. In "normal" mode (with adb debugging checked) my computer thinks it's a "Linux File-CD Gadget USB Device"
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] audiovicious:
The audio quality is better, but the volume and the need to turn it up so high that I can hear that dead air hiss is still there. It's just like, somewhere, there's a base volume setting that's set very low.

Gonna try to keep investigating.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jamieg71:

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jamieg71:
I have not yet begun to dev. I've hinted many times in the past year about a project I have coming. To this point I lacked the skills to truly "bring it" and have hung my head low in frustration.

Well I turned a corner. I can see clearly now and understand how to proceed. Before I move on, I am going to rock XDA with something on the jewel here.

I believe this will change the game for maybe not all, but a vast majority of devices.

The plan is to redefine the limits of this device and show the same process is applicable on any device. Then to top it off, introduce the mod with a whammy of a ROM. If you've ran SKA and felt the smoothness and insane speed on it (especially with haunted kernel) you kind of have an idea of what's to come.

Had some trouble getting this one going. The first setup screen after choosing English as language got stuck trying to connect to mobile data. The status bar was reading it was on LTE with up/down arrows flashing though. After a couple minutes trying it proceeded to dial the activation # (#22...something). But he automated system said the activation process was not successful. I haven't had to go through an activation setup since buying the phone on the day they went on sale. I restored back to Haunted Carbon and everything is fine.

Any suggestions?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jamieg71:
Skip the activation. Commits for it to be disabled were already present. I'm looking into why it still comes up. Same issue exists in PAC 4.4.2.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jamieg71:
Updated post 2 with warning to skip activation on first Boot.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] numel007:
I believe you said that you created something that isn't ROM specific. It will work beyond one device and possibly all ROMs built for all devices. Am I close?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Cj719:
Ok just wanted to make sure it wasn't something I did, so now I wonder should I run this or haunted carbon Jamie has me curious, now gonna see if this is available for my HTC one also..thanks Jamie
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] scottspa74:
As to "this", 4.4 or HC 4.3, 4.4 doesn't have a lot of the customization merged in yet, from what I've read. So if you like having carbon fibers, I'd hold off on 4.4 for the time being, and run haunted carbon. Again, this is just from what I've read, but I believe it's accurate, even just going back a few pages.

This is a great ROM

Only a few issues, which may be isolated to my device

I sometimes have trouble toggling the screen back on using the power button

I've had some network connectivity issues when out and about

And a possible request:

Ability to hide contacts without phone numbers

This would be useful with Facebook contacts sync, which I managed to get working with a patched ContactsProvider.apk
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] adamlee011:
Screen on lag is pretty common. People app has an option to show only contacts with phone numbers. It's as normal feature of android. I use ex dialer and contacts which I think has a bit more the way of filters. You can also go to Google on your pc and set up different contact categories but don't ask how. It's kind of a pain. I've heard of a few people with network issues but it's rather more likely sprints fault.

Hey guys, need some opinions on which route to go. I'm currently on SKA, and it's great, but I have problems with it slowing down (ram bar is usually around 30megs free) and constant boot loops if I'm Bluetooth streaming in car and then get a phone call. I can't wait to try what Jamie and gang are cooking up after giving us a preview of it, though.

Anyway, I'm trying to decide between HC or this unofficial Carbon. I really like NIN's kernel and kind of want to keep using it. I thought I saw that HC wasn't getting updated any longer. I have used HC in the past and had no problems with it whatsoever.

So would you suggest NIN's HC plus newest kernel, or this version? If this version, will haunted kernel work with it? I don't use pie or ribbons so if those aren't in the ROM, no biggie. I saw on ?post2? to use a recovery; is that needed if I'm on a regular install of twrp 2.6ish and have ever flashed a custom recovery (like what one might need for cm11)?

Thanks guys.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] fredgar75:
I would suggest haunted carbon. The 4.4 ROMs have data issues across the board. You won't need to upgrade your recovery but you can if you'd like. The 4.3 ROMs are the most stable in my opinion. Hc ROM with the hc kernel is smooth and feature packed.
