I was wondering the same thing. Does the latest nightly have the data fix ?
[HTC Amaze 4G] coolboy6332:
I do not think it does have the data fix, I was just using the latest build and data was slow to connect
[HTC Amaze 4G] :
Yeah, the nightlies stopped before the code was merged. So the download I posted has the code in it.
[HTC Amaze 4G] jhasmadsoul:
you mean the 11/10 build or the 11/08 data fixed build?

Thanks Jeepers! Great Rom
[HTC Amaze 4G] jv2k:
Yes it is the november 8th nightly that has these features and so far it really does work perfectly. I do not know what else to say here.

After using it for a couple days now all I can say is that this rom runs fairly quickly, it's stable, battery life is acceptable, and most importantly the data works now! So to anyone looking for an aosp look that's stable this is the rom to be using. I know thanks to the download link and the release of our 4.4 rom that this seems to have fallen through our attention gap but it works.

It does have some hardware acceleration issues which means google maps and I assume google chrome is a little buggy for the same reasons but though annoying it's nothing too unbearable.

Also for those of who are interested in getting custom rom like settings and support out of this aosp rom simply install xposed frameworks.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Odysseus1962:
[MENTION=693610]jeepers007[/MENTION] I couldn't help but notice that no versions of this ROM are available for download on the evervolv site anymore. Is there any chance that you or others on the evervolv team will be releasing an "official" or "milestone" 3.3.0p1-version incorporating your data fixes and more recent fixes you've done on the KitKat ROM with the last official nightly build? This ROM was pretty close to being fully functional and It's a shame to see it abandoned now when development on it was so close to fruition. TIA

Very Close to finishing line
[HTC Amaze 4G] BoShowbiz:
Would be great to get a finished build - I do however have a couple of bugs that I run into on an almost daily basis.. One is that the camera almost never opens first time and the gallery app often FCs as a result. I think it might be because I normally open the camera in landscape mode - I think if I open it in portrait and then rotate the phone, it works. The other is that Wifi and Bluetooth can be a little buggy as sometimes they won't turn off or turn on (depending on their current state) and I have to reboot the phone to get them working again. Otherwise, the only issue I have is with poor signal and poor battery life (even with an Ankar battery), but I think those could be Amaze issues, rather than a ROM issues. The data seems to be fixed, which is a result!

Anyway, brilliant work, would love a 'finished' version to be going on with :)
[HTC Amaze 4G] junxracr:
Opening gallery on data fixed build is causing reboot of my phone. Everytime :confused:

After reboot I have to turn the radio back on through the dialer menu.

Edit: I've replaced the camera with kit kat camera from the market. It works great but will reboot when trying to playback 1080p video. 720p works great though.

Edit 2: Spoke too soon. Now kit kat camera not working :(

Everything else seems to be working.

Thanks

So is there any way to disable mtp?I run linux so connecting to my computer is a tremendous pain in the ass and honestly I preferred my phone asking my what it wanted to do when I plugged the usb in instead of it instantly and slowly mounting files.
[HTC Amaze 4G] JimDandy68:
I'm experiencing the same. Fully wiped my phone, too. I need to figure out how to generate a useful logcat. In most other ways, a very good ROM. Sad that this, like CM 10.1, seems to not be able to play audio without intermittent drop-outs.
[HTC Amaze 4G] yasirriaz1977:
Same Issue as Jim Dandy68, all the others build including last nightly also works fine with every thing except Data but in this build works everything including but not the gallery, please solve the issue.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Stopfakn:
I'm having the camera/gallery issue. But both crash my phone and force a reboot. I have the kit Kat camera but same force reboot occurs.

Here is the logcat.

Yeah Kit kat camera didn't work after all :(
[HTC Amaze 4G] :
Sorry, folks, we've moved on to kit kat.

hang tight, kit kat will be great once we get the initial issues worked out.

Source has now been released for multiple devices, and that will help clean up a lot of the issues.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Odysseus1962:
I would be dishonest if I said I wasn't disappointed when I read the comment above last night. This ROM had so much going for it and wasn't that far from being a finished usable daily driver. Working on KitKat is great, but if history is any indication, it will be many months if not longer before you or anyone else develops a workable version for this device, if it ever happens at all.

Heck, Jellybean has been out now for almost a year and half, yet this is one of the few devices from a major manufacturer produced in the last 3 years that still doesn't have a reliable stable version to use as a daily driver. This device is worse than a bastard redheaded - stepchild that nobody wants claim as theirs. HTC long ago abandoned it, and it seems everyone else has too. Frankly, it's a crying shame, because this is still a great device.

I just find it sad and highly ironic, that the HD2 which was a Windows device that never had any source code released for it, and is an inferior device in every way to this one, has had usable Jellybean ROMs since the first month it was released, but this still doesn't and may never get it either.

I'm not singling you or your team out in any way, but it seems as though there aren't many developers here to begin with anymore, and those that remain that are working from sources would rather rush out unfinished betas and alphas of the latest greatest thing than do the difficult task of ironing out the few remaining issues keeping Jellybean from being a viable option.

I wish you much luck with KitKat, but I'm not holding my breath for it. In fact, it wouldn't surprise me in the least if you or your team end up abandoning it too, long before you ever get a stable working version out. Just my opinion based on observations from reading many threads and seeing what's been done here in the past.

Ciao

Edit: Upon rereading I didn't mean to come on so strong. I meant no disrespect towards you or anyone else, and I apologize to everyone for editorializing in a development thread

Finally, I do wish you the greatest success and want you to succeed. If you do it will be quite a breakthrough for this device and a great thing for all of us.

+1000000000000

But we must appreciate hard work of Team Evervolv and Jeepers keeping our hope alive with Kitkat

Hope Kitkat will be completed not abandon

Many thanks
[HTC Amaze 4G] kazzxtrismus:
kitkat in itself fixes a few volume etc problems as well as causing its own...im hoping the work on kitkat means that the fix for JB etc roms will be quick and easy or maybe even just a backport.

heres hoping that these guys and their awesome efforts over the last while will equal a real daily driver!!

heck the sound/volume routing is fixed on jose's rom...a little time and these guys will have us into kitkat AND have JB fixed.

patience and appreciation are key.

Thank you gentlemen.
[HTC Amaze 4G] :
kitkat optimizes the jb code, and allows android to run smoothly on devices that have much more meager specs than our amaze.

kitkat will soon be at the same place as 4.3 based evervolv was. There have been a lot more sources released since we built our first alpha.

The biggest barrier to having more stability is the lack of a 3.4 kernel.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Odysseus1962:
True KitKat does optimize JB code to allow Android to run more smoothly on lesser devices than the Amaze, but it also introduces numerous other hurdles to overcome including ART, which will someday replace Dalvik as the native Java runtime virtual machine. Much of the speedup that you mention is a direct result of the implementation of ART, which is more efficient than Dalvik. However apps will need to be ported to take advantage of it before it will yield any noticeable improvements.

Where I beg to differ with you is blaming the lack of stability in JB, and now I guess KitKat, on the lack of a 3.4 kernel. This is utter nonsense. There are devices running JB stably right now on kernels built from sources much older than ours. The HD2, which I'm most familiar with for example, has been running JB for over a year with a variation of the same 2.26.32 kernel Tytung has used for every version of Android since Froyo.

It's a much different story for those trying to work with newer versions of Android with Sense. Much of Sense is closed sourced, especially when it comes to precompiled libraries and the kernel drivers they interact with. They have a more daunting task precisely because they don't have the sources to work with. They need a 3.4 kernel because Sense has been compiled for it. There's no way around this.

This on the other hand is an open source project based on AOSP. The source code is right there to work with, both with the kernel and the OS itself. If something needs to be worked-around one has the ability to look over and modify code as needed. A lack of stability in this case is more a matter of kernel and OS configuration not a lack of any particular kernel sources.

Edit: There must be workarounds or alternative implementations to overcome the few remaining obstacles. It's better to struggle and get what you can with what you've got, than counting on 3.4 (if it arrives) being any better. Sometimes updating something as critical as a kernel has unintended consequences. It might fix one thing while breaking something else.
[HTC Amaze 4G] jv2k:
I understand your frustrations. I really do. Posts denoting how close things are followed by weeks of inactivity, bounties, money drives followed by no progress reports, people who come in to just let us know they are busy, the bumping of posts that need not be bumped, and of course all the stupid curveballs the hardware throws every step of the way. That said you are getting a free service and in this case it does make sense to move on to the new rom. 4.4 doesn't have the usual big bugs, just some issues with mounting which should be sorted out. It makes sense for our few devs to not divert attention away from getting this working especially since to top it off, dalvik or no, it still uses less memory than jb(which is good with our ram limitations).

So in short this device was never popular and it's 3 years old. Be grateful for the devs you've got. We don't have the sales numbers, geek cred, or dev numbers the hd2 had.
[HTC Amaze 4G] lalit387:
Yeah Amaze is an under sales product

No one to blame except HTC

Look at sensation its inferior device than ours but greatly sold so number of active developers is high

Bad luck guys

Have to contained with this
[HTC Amaze 4G] BillyD325:
Not that it makes much difference, but this device is just over 2 years old. I got mine in October or 2011 shortly after it was introduced for T-Mobile. HTC abandoned it a few short months later with the first of the HTC One series. I still like mine, and am running CM 10.1 on it very nicely. I don't see the stability issues others have mentioned, although it isn't perfect. My device rarely randomly reboots, applications run smoothly, wi-fi tethering works like a charm, etc. The only problem I have is the call echo problem which seems to be solved with the advent of KitKat. I for one am excited about jumping to Kit Kat if this problem is resolved once the ROM is stable enough for me to use as a DD (this is my only phone.)
[HTC Amaze 4G] Stopfakn:
Everything that i need works except the damn camera. Wish we could at least get a fix for the camera fc issue. Anyone found a camera app that works?
[HTC Amaze 4G] jv2k:
Just use another camera app like camera360 and quickpic for your gallery. Holdover habits I have from when the camera and gallery were awful but it works.
[HTC Amaze 4G] BillyD325:
I've been using QuickPic instead of gallery for awhile now because it has features I use that Gallery doesn't have. I generally don't use Gapps when there are other applications available that are better in my opinion.
[HTC Amaze 4G] kazzxtrismus:
Anyone got mhl working on this rom?.. I'm patiently waiting on call audio and dlna etc too

What do you mean I can't say that??.. It's the frkin Internet!
[HTC Amaze 4G] mujju85:
What about data connect issue is that resolve
[HTC Amaze 4G] thenav33n:
Yes *

Yes it is solved if you use the 08-11-2013 http://d-h.st/P4K :D
[HTC Amaze 4G] Stopfakn:
Hey jeepers I know you're busy with kit kat but if the camera/gallery fix is a quick and easy one, please do grace us with it. That's the only issue I'm having. Thanks for sticking with us
[HTC Amaze 4G] Haralambos:
My one pain point is that I've never been able to get wired or wireless tethering to work.

Since I've never seen any discussion about that I assumed it was a known issue and I was waiting to see if 4.4 would resolve it.

I tried a test to make sure it's not my phone - I tried tethering after flashing cyanogenmod and it worked.

Any suggestions for me to check/try? Thanks to all...

Leaving Amaze-ing Community for LG-OG Community now

:good: Good Luck Amaz-ing comunity, I sold my Amaze and get one of the precious piece LG-Optimus G - E970 (LG-OG) from LG which is the Brother of LG-Nexus 4 but its have more Internal storage and also extended display then nexus-4 also one more thing is available in LG-OG is that it have external Card support upto 64GB. I love it....

Good luck friends, Here I use mostly two roms, these are Super Sense 4.0 and Evervolv's 4.3.1 but use 2nd one as daily driver and want this team also on my LG-OG. love Evervolve's features but I left here...

Bye Bye
[HTC Amaze 4G] incapable86:
I just noticed there has been a release build of Evervolv 4.3 ruby on 2013.12.31, try and let us know

http://evervolv.com/devices/ruby
[HTC Amaze 4G] Odysseus1962:
Just got through trying, unfortunately for me, every time I tested the camera or video within a few seconds it locked-up, with it rebooting shortly thereafter. Disappointing, as this ROM is more finished in so many other ways than the other sourced based JB / KK for our Amaze.

Oh well, back to the old reliable energy.
[HTC Amaze 4G] incapable86:
Yeah, it rebooted for me while taking video(when you click in the video for focusing the video, the video turns black and timer stops and if you don't click home button phone reboots) so disregard my last comment, my mistake.

logcat keeps saying unknown permission, video frame dropped and preview frame dropped. pacman ruby 4.3.1 has same issues

it seems HTC Vivid cm 4.3.1 has same problems with camera

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=45135297&postcount=66

developers has moved to kitkat so there's no fix for this sadly :(
[HTC Amaze 4G] Odysseus1962:
Maybe if Jose and his team resolve it for PACman, it can then be ported here too.
[HTC Amaze 4G] :
Hey, everyone,

I put together a new build. Look for it in the EV Updater section from inside your Evervolv ROM, TESTING tab.

Entitled... ev_ruby-3.3.0.p1-iaceo_010413.zip

Several changes in this one as follows:

- added media legacy as a dependency. Had done this for kitkat, but not 4.3 before.

- add Gallery2 HTC overlay from CM 10.2 builds.

- added camerawrapper from CM10.2 builds.

I tested camera/camcorder and no problems (still no 1080p though). But I need some testers to validate.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Odysseus1962:
Hey [MENTION=693610]jeepers007[/MENTION] I want to make sure I understand the procedure correctly. I first should download and install Evervolv-Iaceo-3.3.0p1-ruby.zip from the Evervolv site. Then after the ROM settles look for your OTA in the toolbox download and install in recovery to get the updated fixes. If this is the case I'm on it and will report back my observations. TIA
[HTC Amaze 4G] BoShowbiz:
Got your new release installed, first observation of the camcorder are that it's better but still no autofocus. I assume that I'm looking for camera/gallery changes?! I was finding on the 31/12 build that touching the screen caused it to freeze and I couldn't stop/save the video, so I had to press 'Home' then kill all tasks to get rid of the camera app. Now touching the screen doesn't cause it to freeze, but it still doesn't autofocus and doesn't stop/save the video successfully :(
[HTC Amaze 4G] incapable86:
only has issues with camera

ev_ruby-3.3.0.p1-iaceo_010413.zip

tested. camera worked fine taking images and were saved.

camcorder 720p, it started fine but screen freezed when i clicked stop button, it did not save video after that camera keeps crashing says Unfortunately, Gallery has stopped, after rebooting phone camera worked again but this repeats after using camcorder. also camcorder has no focus, without focus everything is blurry.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Petronoid:
I am having issues with battery life. Appears that the phone is not sleeping. Charged fully at night, in the morning phone was dead. In the day max 6 hrs.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Librastar:
I tried this Rom today, the look n feel was great,camcorder issues was not so big for me the only issue i faced was lagging interface and misbehaving/glitches of widgets, i took a log,hope so any dev can take a look at it..
[HTC Amaze 4G] Odysseus1962:
OK, I spent half the night trying this update out. The camera is definitely improved, but isn't quite there yet. As mentioned no autofocus or zoom, but touching the screen brings up the manual focus circle. Photos are sharp, but limited to 3 M pixels. There's no selection for any higher resolution. Video is limited to 720P, but saved fine for me. There were definitely fewer issues with this version then the last.

On the downside, something is holding a wakelock, battery life has been poor for at least the last 4 versions of this ROM. I don't know about versions before then, as I didn't try them.

Thanks [MENTION=693610]jeepers007[/MENTION] keep up the good work!
[HTC Amaze 4G] EmbGuy:
Is there any third party camera from Google Play work with this ROM?
[HTC Amaze 4G] BoShowbiz:
I tried a few but they all seem to use the built in camcorder application - I don't know enough about these things to say for sure but it seems that the camcorder part is integrated into the ROM?
[HTC Amaze 4G] Odysseus1962:
Great news guys! I found a workaround for most of the camera issues with this ROM (the updated version). Over at F-droid they have a version of the stock jellybean / KitKat camera called "Stock Camera". It works on all flavors of Android 4.0 and newer. It takes crisp sharp photos at the full 8 megapixels (instead of 3m with the included camera) and records videos nicely. Install it and try it out, then if you're satisfied remove the stock one and push this into '/system/apps' (of course change permissions and ownership).

The only downside is 1080p video still doesn't work. :crying:

When you first start it up for videos make sure to change the resolution from the default 1080p to 720p before filming or your phone will lock-up tighter than a drum, and you'll continue having problems every time you open the app. You don't have to do anything for photos as it defaults to 8m and all lower settings work well.

Now if we could only figure out the WiFi tethering this ROM would be a prime-time player!!!!

Hi guys

i am a noob i just want to know

is there any option that i can reduce the vibration of my device?

I am using this rom this is very good and stable rom

I only found 1 problem when you open gallery it goes reboot

if this issue can be solved this rom is best till now

thanks for this rom jeepers

Use fauxclock there might be free products as well use google to search.
[HTC Amaze 4G] jv2k:
Kitkat was too buggy with the apps I used, and the new version of viper just sort of broke on me so I kept getting reboots and then bootloops so I wound up restoring to my backup of this rom. With regards to the scarily bad battery life and wake locks I've found that I can achieve idle and deep sleep by just swiping away all my windows before shutting the phone screen off. It's not exactly an ideal solution, and with the screen on the power drains as you'd expect, but at least you don't have to worry about the phone dying when you aren't using it.
[HTC Amaze 4G] king_david43:
Trickster mod is a good one to use
[HTC Amaze 4G] Odysseus1962:
I really like this ROM so I've been trying it again the last couple of days. I think I solved what's causing the excessive battery drain and holding the wakelock. It's NFC. It's impossible to turn off. I've tried everything to turn it off, but it won't stay off. It acts like it's turning off, the setting dims as though it's no longer active, but as soon you leave the settings page it comes back on . Every time I came back to check the setting it would be turned on again. Very frustrating.

Other than being unable to record video at 1080 it's one of the best JB ROMS we have. The Camera app I posted earlier in the thread works well. Bluetooth pairs with my devices, and WiFi tethering works with the app mentioned in the first post. I'm working with the creator of SpiritFM about finding a workaround to get the radio working. I use it with Xposed and GravityBox as suggested in the OP and works great. If I could get this NFC issue resolved and the battery drain normalized I would use this as my DD.

Does anyone have any Ideas on how to work around this and get NFC turned off unless I actually want to use it? Any help would be greatly appreciated. TIA

Edit: This is very frustrating, and a definite show stopping bug for me. I figured out how to turn off NFC. If I reboot immediately after turning it off it stays off, however, then all of my network APNs disappear. Then if I enter the T-Mobile APN info it doesn't take and completely disappears, as though I never entered it. If I re-enable NFC my APNs return. It seems as though it's impossible to have NFC turned off and still have data transmission working with this ROM.

Well at least I figured out why the battery usage was below par on this ROM. Oh well, back to the drawing board. I guess I'll have to try PAC again... :(
[HTC Amaze 4G] Muneeb Saeed:
Why not disable the apk through titanium
[HTC Amaze 4G] Odysseus1962:
Thanks for your suggestion, but I've tried that already. Disabling NFC in TB has the same affect as turning it off in the settings. In both instances the result is the disappearance of my APNs and no data connectivity.
[HTC Amaze 4G] EmbGuy:
I am using DU Battery Saver on my phone. Instead disable the NFC, this app periodically kills the unnecessary app to improve the battery life. This app is currently telling my battery is 61% charged and time left is 12 hours on the remaining charge.
