By the way, just download photosphere and tried it for the first time... I must say this will come in real handy for my line of work. +1 for the find!!!!!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mikshepard:
Hahaha, I've been hooked since the first time I started taking them. This 4.3 camera really does an amazing job on the stitching, I'm very impressed with it. One tip, many people have stated that to get the best photospheres, you should try to move your body around the camera; however, I've found that I still get many things off in the stitching when I try that (could be that I'm not good at keeping the camera suspended in air still while I try to move around it). I found it consistently turns out best when I try to keep my elbows touching my body, so the camera is closer to me and stays the same distance, and I just slowly turn around in a circle. At least, that's my experience.

Hope this helps,

Mike
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] gscarborough:
Thanks as always mike. I'm still on the 7.21 build you keep the builds coming so fast I haven't kept up. One thing not sure if it's an issue with my phone or what but when I have my headphones attached and I get a call it still rings through the speaker phone all other sounds come through the headset. Other than that awesome
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] niteNarmor:
How is the 7.8 build?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] eepyikes:
Ongoing crazy unsolved issue: whenever I hang up a call (or take the phone away from my ear to go hang up a call), the calendar comes up. It's been doing it for like build after build. I've done all kinds of wipes and re-installs from previous builds and it never changed. It might have even been there on previous CM mods as well. **no kernels or other mods of any kind installed**, just the Slim Rom. I can't for the life of me figure out what is causing it but it's driving me nuts.

Only happens after a call, no other time. I don't have any shortcuts to the calendar on my homescreen, so it's not being launched by accidental press.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] niteNarmor:
That is unusual. I don't have any issues with the ROM at all. I'm still on 7.2.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jamieg71:
Man I get this on one of our two lte's no matter what aosp ROM we flash on it, it always has the Prox censor issue. To get around it I learned to hit the power button to turn the screen off before putting the phone up to your ear. What's happening is the prox censor is not shutting down touch response even with screen off during calls. I had to switch phones with my girl because of this, mine never had the problem and she just wouldn't put up with it.

Sent from my EVO
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] eepyikes:
Yess!!! I'm not crazy and I don't have a dud phone!!!

Still weird that it brings up calendar though. Oh well.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mikshepard:
Yeah it happens to me too, only on bright sunny days when I am outdoors. Annoying but doesn't happen often, so I'm getting used to it, haha.

BTW, OP updated with the 7.8 link. Thanks to everyone who tried it, this is by far my favorite build for SlimBean yet. I also added a link for a sound mod how-to for Acid V7 and the Noozxiode by AndrasLOHF. If you were looking to install that, this should be a huge help for ya.

Cheers,

Mike
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] AndrasLOHF:
I'm almost at the 24 hour mark with it. It's solid as ever. Not a hiccup once.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] niteNarmor:
I have flashed 7.8 and I had the same issue as previous, WiFi will not turn on. Had to revert back. Is there something in the boot.img because I am still S-on and would need to flash that separate.

Yes, I'm still S-on because I can't find the best method for S-off without Linux which I don't have.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Status Flow:
Just wanted to say I switched to SlimBean for my Evo yesterday and I'm loving it. It's solid as a rock and smooth, with a plethora of options for my personal needs. Great work, can't wait until 4.3 is implemented.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] niteNarmor:
Sound mod works perfectly!!!!! +1
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Shredder87:

You should try this. I got my phone to s-off with this method. I would recommend switch over to a sense rom for best results.(I had the Hatkai rom and it worked.)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] niteNarmor:
I am asking because I don't know and I am NOT trying to be condescending.

Does it really matter about what ROM I am on to achieve S-off?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jamieg71:
I've always gone with stock/stock based.

Does anyone else have slow wifi dl speeds? I'm getting 300kb/s on my 12 mbps wifi. It's fine on other roms

Anyways great rom!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] niteNarmor:
OK I found what the issue was with new versions of SlimRom and my wifi not turning on.

Because I am (STILL) S-on, you can't simply flash the new version. You have to fastboot the boot.img as well.

After flashing new version (7.8) let it boot and freeze at splash screen. Power into fastboot and flash the boot.img through ADB. Rebooted and everything works... Thanks Mike for the new version...

BTW... Tried moonshine and unfortunately it does not get past test 2. So for now, I just have to flash the new boot.img through ADB. :(
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mikshepard:
Glad you got it working, if you watch the changelog on the OP, I try to mention if anything was done on the kernel end. If nothing was changed there, you should be fine just flashing the ROM and not worrying about fastbooting the kernel. I'll make it a point to mention kernel changes from here on out for ya and everyone else S-On.

Cheers,

Mike
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] niteNarmor:
Thank you. I just figured it had to be something in the boot.img. Yes its a pain but I haven't been able to s-off so I just have to continue to do this.

WiFi Connectivity Issues on 7.8

I couldn't stay connected to wifi consistently on 7.8...going back to 7.5 until the 4.3 version comes out...this is still the best ROM by far for this phone, hands down.

Bluetooth

Anyone has issues with Bluetooth not able to detect devices.

I am using v7.8 and able to turn on Bluetooth but cannot find any devices. I tried headphone and my car but phone couldn't pick up at all.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] niteNarmor:
I am able to connect to my Roku device without issues.

A suggestion which was given to myself was to power down your phone, then power it back on. Reconnect to Bluetooth.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] dragonlord76:
Yes, I did power cycle. I also did a full clean wiped and reinstalled but doesn't solved.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] AndrasLOHF:
Definitely. I'm hoping that the 4.3 bluetooth stack will solve a click/pop sound I get every time data connections change or drop out when using a bluetooth headset. Ran Slim for 2 months and just flashed back to Sense(Evilution) the other day to make sure my bluetooth wasn't going out. No clicks/pops on Sense.

I have my mobile network settings set to cdma/evdo/auto. But sometimes it will automatically switch to lte/cdma/evdo/auto.

Does anyone know how i can make this setting stick?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ink718:
If you have tried other ROMs and your not able to find any bluetooth devices, then welcome to the club. Your bluetooth is toast. I have flashed many ROMs multiple times and not able to find any bluetooth devices. Meanwhile I am able to find the same devices on my other phones. Many people are facing bluetooth issues with the Evo LTE. Try other ROMs and see if you are able to detect bluetooth devices. I know for 100% that my bluetooth is toast. Theres another guy on XDA in another forum and he had to get his phone replaced.

I have never flashed this ROM, I am pn PACman ROM. But there is no way to make it stick, not that I know of. Unless someone has a script or something to make it stick which I don't think there is. You just have to change the network modes manually in settings > mobile networks.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Magnum_Enforcer:
Just downloaded and flashed this ROM earlier. Everything seems to be working good so far:thumbup:
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] dragonlord76:
You are correct. My BT is dead. I restored original image that came with the phone and differ ROM as well with no luck. I have this phone over a year now so warranty is no good.

I too have received similar results on 7.8 while on FB, Pandora and many emails through out the day. Great battery life.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mikshepard:
And here is yet anther 4.2 build to hold you over until 4.3..

This has just a few changes:

I updated Decks data dropping fix to the latest commits.

I compiled in the Nexus 7 animations from Root-Box -- really cool btw.

Terminal emulator included by default

And Bash - It also includes a custom bash profile by me, check this out:

I've modded the login to say "Good Morning", "Good Afternoon" etc, based on the time of day, then to output the kernel version, uptime, current time, and who you are logged in as (color coded) all on boot. Also, I've added some custom aliases with more to come (type "x" to exit, for example). I recommend you switch the default shell in TERM to use this, (Preferences --> Command Line --> enter "/system/xbin/bash").

Here's your new bash commandline alias (or quick commands)

diskspace - show you a listing of directories and their size

x - exit

ff - find a file (type the name after ff, i.e "ff Term.apk")

lsd - list only directories

.. - go back one directory

... - go back two directories

... - go back three directories

Enjoy!

-Mike

Edit: I suppose you'd like a link, oops..

http://d-h.st/tUE
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] niteNarmor:
I'm downloading now.

Only because I have to ask, any kernel changes?

BTW, thank you for everything you do!!!!

EDIT: never mind.. The update is nice. The animation is a little slow. Is there a way to increase the speed of said animation?

Again, thank you for your time!!!!

To install while in s on , should I double flash or use flash img gui?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] niteNarmor:
You need to flash the zip as normal, then boot as normal. It will bootloop on splash screen. Boot into recovery and adb flash boot.img.

I'm on this ROM and s-on as well.

Having reception issues with newest rls. Similar to the second 7.5 rls. First 7.8 had great reception.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] niteNarmor:
I had reception issues as well. Had to revert back to the first 7.8 update. Now that was an outstanding update!!!!!!

Thanks again mike...
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mikshepard:
Yeah, I got the reception issues too, there was a reverted commit in there that caused problems again on the data. Here is an 4.2 update with the data dropping patches back in and updated using the latest fix (patch 24 for HTCCDMAQualcommRIL.java). I also added in CM Filemanager over SlimRom's, and updated the sources to version 8.0, and still cherry-picked the new Nexus 7 animations. Enjoy!

Here's the latest build:

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] niteNarmor:
Flashed 8.0 and because I'm s-on went ahead and adb'd boot.img.

WiFi works - confirmed

Bluetooth connects - confirmed

3g works better - confirmed

All networks are receiving and sending data much better.

Animations are nice.

Did not have to flash the Aroma installer.

EDIT: I did, after all, flash Aroma.

After being on sense for awhile, think I might try aosp Roms again and I'm leaning to this one! Love how our phone is getting attention still.

Agreed. Was thinking about getting an optimus G or s4 but no need for that with these updates.

Great work mike and jamie.

Anyone having gmail syncing issues? My inbox won't sync unless I do it manually.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] niteNarmor:
Not having any issues with the new build. Especially, email sync. Need it for work (depend on it), if I was having issues then I would revert back to first 7.8 build.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jamieg71:
I had been having issues syncing, but only with Google. This was happening for me with gmail, calendar, and contacts. In settings under google it displayed "sync is experiencing issues will be available shortly" or something like that. But my contacts and calendar were synced. I had flashed to Super jelly to update profile a few days back and had the same issue with gmail but not calendar. Had to manually sync. Not sure what the deal was but I went to the go to excuse and blamed it on Sprint..

Thanks in advance.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mikshepard:
I've had issues with Gmail not syncing in the past. I've found this happening occasionally after I do restores from backups and such. If I wipe the data in Titanium Backup, then open the app again, everything sync's fine from then on out.

Hope this helps,

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mikshepard:
From which build was that taken? The settings in this ROM are from Decks latest commit to git, fixing the tunnel sounds during voice calls. I'll do some tests with this version and see about adding it, depending when he put it out.

I'm having a strange issue with Google hangouts where notification seem to be randomly working. If I go into one of my hangout chat boxes it also doesn't appear to be updated like it isn't syncing every time I open it or it just randomly chooses to sync or something like that? Hard to figure out what is causing it.

Has anyone else seen a similar issue?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] youdug:
Two issues.

I pulled apollo from pac.

When i end a call and the song was playing when the call started, when it starts back up after the call i get a reboot.

I am getting background static with apollo.

I did not flash decks volume mod, that causes crazy distortion at high levels.

Are these just an issue with apollo or is anyone having these issues with other music apps?

The static seems to be an apollo issue because i dont hear it with pandora.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] yangers:

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jamieg71:
Hangouts has been a disappointingly buggy POS for me since the last update. Not ROM related. I pulled an older version and have been using it with zero issues.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] gscarborough:
Mike how do you use the toggleable gapps?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] niteNarmor:
First you have to flash the zip. Then go into setting. Scroll down till you see The Real Dark Slim and toggle it on. From then on out, till you toggle back, gapps will be dark.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] AndrasLOHF:
Damsit... I was really excited seeing that there were new data fixes implemented in Ver 8 and finally got around to flashing today. I was hoping the data fix would stop that pesky pop/click sound I get on bluetooth when there is a data handoff with the new kernel, but alas it was still there. I guess my last hope is when the ROM goes 4.3 hopefully it will have the new bluetooth stack or some other kernel change will fix it. Still my fav ROM though.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jamieg71:
There have been some BT related commits to the 10.2 branch of our kernel. Looks like they would be fine for 10.1, but I have yet to test. I'll be finding out here soon and if they are good I'm sure mike can add them in no problem.

I got tethering working on this rom for those who are interested. It also looks like I'm getting 4g speeds while tethering which is awesome. I was having issues getting 4g lte speeds on previous sense roms. What I did was download and installed the wifi_tether_v3_4-experimental1.apk from https://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/downloads/list. After that, change the device-profile to generic ICS/JB wlan0, checkmark send no tether-interface cmd, wifi-driver reload, mss clamping, and routing fix. You can enable wifi-encryption if you want. But this worked for me and hopefully it works for others.

Alright got the rom flashed, already reboot it a few times (Haven't tried a complete re-install yet)

What I'm experiencing is great, everything works the only thing that I could even complain about is that WiFi seems a little weak. On CM 10 I was able to pickup WiFi in my living room (about 20 feet from the router) at full signal strength. At that distance with SlimBean Rom my WiFi disconnects and my phone bounces between trying to pickup WiFi and 3G a lot.

I'll do a fresh re-install today and see if the problem persists.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] niteNarmor:
Try looking at your advanced WiFi options. Goto your WiFi on your phone. Bottom right is a menu. Choose advanced. See if your set to pick up signal as "auto", "5g", or "2.5g". Choose auto if not checked already.
