[HTC Amaze 4G] :
Our signal bar fix is in line for merge into git.

It is a revised libril, that updates what we've been using for AOSP 4.0-4.2 to a compliant version for 4.3.

If you are impatient for the merge (I'll let you know when that happens), you can simply download this file, put it in /system/lib, and set permissions rwrr. Since it's ril related, probably best to do it in airplane mode.

http://d-h.st/Juy

My intention with modification/update of this library was to fix the status bar signal strength meter, but it might have additional benefits as well (data stability while in sleep mode), etc.

Test it and let me know.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Capgun_Homicide:
Is it just me, or is the performance on Jelly Bean AOSP and CM 10 & 10.1 not as good as Sense, in terms of scrolling?

Love the ROM by the way, and it seems to be frequently updating. Is the performance because of the lack of the Jelly Bean kernel that Sports is cooking up? Sorry, I don't know the terms, I'm no Dev. :p
[HTC Amaze 4G] dthomp01:
For me, the battery life has been phenomenal and the face recognition of the camera is a nice plus of 4.3. I see the same scrolling lags but didn't see them on CM 10.1 so I'm expecting it to go in time.

EDIT: the main advantage of this ROM for me though is the lack of problem enabling Bluetooth and my Wi-Fi never drops unlike CM and stock.

Thanks for all of the hard work devs!
[HTC Amaze 4G] bhtm:
+1 WiFi noticeably better. Run tethered to work phone. Been less trouble than latest cm 10.1 from sportsstar89. Really happy with this ROM. Cant believe 4.3 came so fast and works so well. Great work evervolv team.
[HTC Amaze 4G] :
Revised libril code merged last night. Starting today, the nightly will include the fix.

For camera/camcorder issues, there is still a lot of work going on figuring out how to make the older devices behave correctly with the new camera/camcorder. The new app feature pie controls, and that has resulted in issues with the camcorder, particularly when interacting with the touchscreen while recording.

Still researching tethering. Bugs me that it broke going from 4.2 to 4.3.

Did you all see the announcement about Kitkat? Next android os (4.4) released in the next couple of months, with code available soon thereafter.

For those with low volume issues, has anyone tried Awesome Beats v5 on this rom yet?

Volume for me has been fine so far. But that might be a solution for you.

Also, if you like more customization of your ROM, try Xposed Installer, and a nicely featured module like XBlast Tools. ;)

For those with sound volume issues...

here's a file to test....

add to system/etc folder with rwrr permissions for sound volume... make sure you wipe cache and dalvik, reboot.

Has anyone reported an issue with visual voicemail yet?

It syncs fine, but the messages won't play. The real issue is that afterward the dialer goes haywire, and when you connect there is no real sound during calls but what I can best describe as a metallic sort of static.

It all goes back to normal after a reboot, as long as I don't try to use visual voicemail. Logcats provided.

The list of what's working and not working is kept up to date on the first post.

That said, I don't do specific functionality tests for each nightly, so your help is greatly appreciated on knowing if something new has popped up.
[HTC Amaze 4G] :
I see you uninistalled it, and tried different things. It looks to be an app issue. I don't see any obvious system issues in relation to it. One thing is a repeating warning about permissions for VVM, and that might be because it is not truly 4.3 compatible yet.

User feedback on google play is pretty negative recently. Usually that's a sign of a poorly developed app.

Did you try it on CM10.2?

How have users found this 4.3 ROM as compared to the Cyanogen 4.3 ROM also available here in another thread?

Excuse my non techy question but is this ROM tied to the development or progress of the other 4.3 ROM (cyanogen) here?

thank you
[HTC Amaze 4G] SuperAfnan:
yep

Yes it is definitely tied to CM 4.3. If Sports didn't make 4.3 Jeepers would have had many more issues since pretty much everyone revolves around Sports. When he makes AOKP, he compiles it from the AOKP repos on git and uses some of Sport's work since he fixes a lot of stuff as he releases it. ;)

I don't know much about compiling from source, but people who do that are very pro! lol
[HTC Amaze 4G] preludedrew:
I don't want to take away from anything that Sports has done, or continues to do. But Jeepers has done some solid, good work for this device on 4.2 and continuing to 4.3. Commenting that something wouldn't be possible if it weren't for another is just a little ignorant. Evervolv is not tied to CM, although there are certain situations where patches are cherry picked from CM itself. Please don't take this as attacking or ranting...lol. I just don't want Jeepers losing out on some credit where he's done a damn good job of learning how android / this device works.
[HTC Amaze 4G] kusso92:
IMHO I think jeepers is a lot more stable and functions a lot better since sports is pretty busy atm. He hasn't been doing much on cm10.3 while evervolv has been evervolving. Nightlies r released almost everyday so don't frgt that part in fixes.

Not trying to attack sports but he hasn't done much on his cm 10.3. So no its not tied to cm 10.3. :o
[HTC Amaze 4G] :
Those developing for 8660 chipset based devices tend to make impacts that benefit across Roms. It's really a small community when you think about it.

I find inspiration from all those that have insight and wisdom to offer. I am grateful that sharing is done so selflessly by all.

I hope to contribute at their level someday. Still learning a lot myself.
[HTC Amaze 4G] SuperAfnan:
Yeah I was talking about AOKP though. ;) And yes he does an excellent job I'm just explaining how things always get tied to Sportsstar89. ROMS built from source usually always get collaboration someway or another. Sorry if there is a misunderstanding, it's 12:11am here lol.

Yeah so far the radio goes in and out, but since i don't use bluetooth, this is a perfect rom for me. I have been using the Viper Rom but I been using the Nightmare Rom too for over a year and I wanted some JB love. 4.3 is where it's at.
[HTC Amaze 4G] :
Btw, BT is fully functional on this ROM.

I've noticed the radio and similar behavior with wifi. It is meant to save battery by turning off data connections automatically when the screen is off, or there is no activity. Unfortunately, our radio chipset is notoriously inefficient, so I don't think we really save that much.

[HTC Amaze 4G] :
Sounds like an app issue, not a ROM issue.
[HTC Amaze 4G] :
With the APNS and GPS fixes in place, a fresh load is the best thing to do. Dirty flashing just uses the old pieces. Starting fresh, will allow the framework to grab the APN, and things should be a lot better.

They were on my device. I tested both ways.
[HTC Amaze 4G] :
Just tested, and can't replicate this. The orientation on my camera and camcorder is correct. Viewing in Gallery is the right orientation too.

Are you S-off? Kernel flashed correctly?
[HTC Amaze 4G] Stopfakn:
I just flashed the ROM and nightlies. Didn't know there was a separate kernel. Thanks for the reply
[HTC Amaze 4G] :
There is not a separate kernel, but if you're S-On, you need to always check if the current kernel flashed correctly. 4ext recovery works good for S-On users, as it flashes the kernel on the reboot after Rom install.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Stopfakn:
Yes I'm S on and I only use 4ext. I'll try reflashing after doing a complete wipe. Thanks again
[HTC Amaze 4G] :
Well, so I've been messing with the PMEM configuration, and thought I was onto something last night. I was hoping to update our configuration to a 64meg configuration that was more similar to other 8660 based devices on 4.3 jellybean.

New configuration compiled and built fine.

And, yet again, I get a rom that just shows a black screen. This has happened so many times. Running logcat doesn't reveal any errors or unusual heppenings relating to the display. It boots into the rom, so it's not freezing at the logo or animation.

Time to think about it some more and see if I get any inspiration....

This rom is running pretty smooth. Only issue i had was that the phone kept rebooting when i first installed. Everytime i tried to set up it would reboot, so i let it reboot and let it sit for a few minutes, then tried to set it up and it worked great. Not using this phone as daily driver, but i haven't had any real issues with it.

Its been on for almost 2 full days and its at 33%
[HTC Amaze 4G] vgs929:
"It's been on for almost 2 full days"

I recommend everyone let the phone sit for a few minutes after installing it. It also rebooted for me as well when doing the initial set up. After that it was fine.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Petronoid:
Tried to get this to work but couldn't get data to work. Tried deleting/manually adding APN no luck. Looks so awesome though....good work dev will wait longer.
[HTC Amaze 4G] :
Still working on it. The remaining rebase merge will fix the data issue, but we are still working on wifi since it is now not compiling one of the critical modules at build time to make it work. Still some more work to do.

You'll be pleased once we iron the bugs out. More stability.

After we get the rebase ironed out, my pmem map will be merged and those reboots when first loading the ROM will go away.

Stick with 9/20 or earlier based on a recommendation by yasirriaz1977.

Hey, I don't know if I'm missing something but it's there a way to update nightlies without wiping the system partition? It's tedious having to setup Google apps and re-add ringtones into the system folder every time.

Also anyone have problems with notifications in the latest nightlies? Had to revert back to the 22nd from the 26th because I wasn't getting audio notifications, wondering if that's been fixed.

Update: just installed the Oct 1st nightly, notifications seem to be working if anyone else was wondering.

Yes, the volume and echo issue a problem of the chipset and does not just plague the Amaze. You will see much fanfare when it's solved.
[HTC Amaze 4G] azcledel:
Honestly i have never had the problem your talking about and I've kept up with almost every nightly update. Updating this ROM is simple it flashes over the previous install no need to wipe anything between. I wipe cache and dalvik but that's it. Are you s-on or s-off that might be an issue but i personally cant see how your having the notifications you have disappear every time. Maybe your doing something you don't need to when updating?

Sent from my HTC Amaze 4G running Evervolv Jellybean 4.3
[HTC Amaze 4G] bos2333:
I'm S-Off. I don't wipe anything myself. During every update whether it's from the EV Updater or from recovery it wipes the system partition before the system re-installs, which I'm assuming is an Evervolv "feature", whereas CM would just install over the system partition. It's not an error, it's just something that it does. The notifications I'm putting in the system/media folder everytime are CM specific notifications that I've become used to, but when the system wipes I have to add them back in, change permissions, and restart every time I update.

Now that I've gotten used to flashing gapps with the nightly every time (which is not needed with CM), I don't have to reset my Play Store/Gmail settings which is nice.
[HTC Amaze 4G] azcledel:
Maybe you can save your notifications to the SD card rather than the system folder its been so long since I've added or changed any of mine and they're always there and this is talking over a year and a half of flashing roms on this phone.

Sent from my HTC Amaze 4G running Evervolv Jellybean 4.3
[HTC Amaze 4G] bos2333:
Yeah, they are on my SD card, I just have to move them over...it's not a big deal, I'll probably just have to do a full wipe at some point to get the option to pick where I want to grab my notifications from again. I just thought it was interesting that every install wipes the system partition, that's all.
[HTC Amaze 4G] :
Another thing you might try is to create the same folder (/system/media/audio/notifications) in the gapps zip and put your media files in that. Every time you flash gapps, your media files will get transferred as well.

I haven't tested anything like this myself on gapps. But I have updated my own gapps zip and pulled a couple of the non-used apps out of it without ill effect.
[HTC Amaze 4G] :
just a note that I installed the nightly today, at first with a dirtly flash. I lost my consistent data signal with it.

On a fresh install, everything works as it should. If you use TB, make sure you do not restore your ID from the previous ROM because that will cause the data issue again.

YMMV.

Where is the best place to ask questions about building and tweaking the evervolv source for the Amaze? Evervolv doesn't have a forum, only IRC, and that is a very quiet place to visit. Trying to learn about building from source (several failed attempts at merging amaze stuff from Evervolv into SlimBean, one of my fav roms).
