Can we get full adreno 220 rendering on this? Or is that already on here?

Sorry if this is a stupid question.

Nenamark 2 fps is only 39.

On ICS with full gpu rendering it was 50fps.

I was just wondering if it's possible.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Odysseus1962:
Does this still have the blacked out browser and gapps issue or has it been resolved? That has been a major sticking point for me with this ROM so far.
[HTC Amaze 4G] bos2333:
Yeah, still there.
[HTC Amaze 4G] rdar_93:
It's still there, that's why we're using chrome. I don't get the black gapps though, dunno why.
[HTC Amaze 4G] bhtm:
Icons are jb not kk? Just me? GE launcher aka integrated Google now not included?
[HTC Amaze 4G] Odysseus1962:
GE launcher isn't part of AOSP, just like gapps aren't. There are installable packages floating around xda, just search for it.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Dave O:
If you flash the pa gapps from the link that was posted earlier in this thread it comes with the GE launcher. I use it too, kind of like the GE launcher!
[HTC Amaze 4G] bhtm:
Thx. Grabbed the gapps from evupdate. I just grabbed core. My bad.

---------- Post added at 09:00 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:56 PM ----------

Icons then? Many AOSP roms for my s4 have the new icon set? Or are they proprietary google too?
[HTC Amaze 4G] dafoo21:
Can anyone recommend an email client that I can use in the meantime, that wont give me the black boxes?

Thanks!
[HTC Amaze 4G] Odysseus1962:
Try k-9 it's my favorite email client I've used for android. It should work, but I haven't tested it on this ROM.
[HTC Amaze 4G] BillyD325:
I've been using k-9 forever and it's so much better than the gmail client. If you install f-droid you can get a newer version than what is in the play store.
[HTC Amaze 4G] dafoo21:
Thanks guys! I will give it a try and let you know the results.

If anyone is really wanting to keep on using Gmail, to make it a little easier, I threw a Bookmark Widget on the home screen that pointed to gmail.com. Just a small tip some might not have thought of.

---------- Post added at 02:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:30 PM ----------

Negative. Still get the black box when I setup gmail with K-9 :/.
[HTC Amaze 4G] malar413:
I presently use iTap Mail. It's basic and fully compatible with all Android version (and KitKat). It works great with Exchange and many other protocol.
[HTC Amaze 4G] dafoo21:
Can you provide a link for this? I am having issues finding it. Does it go by a different name?
[HTC Amaze 4G] malar413:
Sure. I don't know why, but I can't find the app on the Store... But this is the link of my app that I have copied from My apps. It's strange... :o

Play Store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=sixgreen.itap.mail
[HTC Amaze 4G] dafoo21:
It somehow seems that the APK has disappeared off the internet, as well. Pretty strange.

Good Job

Rom is really nice. Only issue I am having is similar to the 4.3 build of evervolv, battery drain is pretty awful. Without a sim card in my phone it 's perfectly fine but as soon as I pop a sim card in I can be sure my phone will be dead in like 7-8 hours. If this gets fixed it's gonna be my daily for sure. Thanks again man, it's real nice seeing people still developing for this phone especially considering how capable it is.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Mohammad Hashir:
Assalam o Alaikum,

I tried your ROM, its really nice, but battery is draining very quickly as mentioned above, after recording 1080p video my device reboots, 720p is fine no problem with that.. Torch app force cloces.. When i took screenshot, i got just colored pixels and not image (Pressed Volume Down + Power button to take screenshot)..

We all need this ROM to be as stable as possible, so keep it up.. :good:

Thanks for working for our Amaze and keeping it alive..

Sorry for my bad english..:)

Please add following to the bug list
[HTC Amaze 4G] :
For those interested in trying out a test build- go to EV Updater, and look under the TESTING tab, you will see a test release from today.

Still experimenting with the camera wrapper. I included this again from the Team Hydra repo.

There have been minor framework and other code updates.
[HTC Amaze 4G] :
Sorry, this is not a ROM issue, but an OS issue. Lots of threads with hacks and workarounds, to try to get it working. I went back to windows 7 myself. Could never get it working with windows 8, and there were too many other annoyances with 8.
[HTC Amaze 4G] rdar_93:
Is it me or are the dates in the changelog a little messed up? Lol 01-18-2013? Shouldn't it be 2014?
[HTC Amaze 4G] Petronoid:
Yeah i am not having luck with the newer build. Old version had at least camcorder working at 720p.
[HTC Amaze 4G] :
New build released under testing in EV Updater. Nothing new for the amaze specifically, but based on the current repo. Still have the black boxes and other graphical issues that exist due to non-ion kernel.

I spent several days trying to adapt Sportsstar89's 3.0.x ion work to Evervolv, but could not get past the HTC logo during boot after resolving all the compilation errors.

Since it stops so early in the boot cycle, I am unable to get adb logs to help with fixing it. By the way, it's the same thing that happens if you try to use a CM kernel with an Evervolv rom. During my adaptation of the code, I probably crossed that line that breaks it with Evervolv. Just wish I knew what that line was specifically - lol. :crying:

ElginSk8r has continued working on a 3.4 kernel and is getting close. I'll throw my limited skills in with what he's doing to see if I can help somehow.

Check the first post for updates on what's not working correctly.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Odysseus1962:
Perhaps you and he could contact [MENTION=5115117]ravike14[/MENTION] who is looking for AOSP devs to use his kernel in their ROMs (which he believes is very close to ready). Please read his recent post in the 3.4 kernel thread. Perhaps with such a collaboration the three of you can achieve success and do so much sooner than working independently of one another.

Here is the link to the post that I'm referring to http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=49979720&postcount=242&nocache=1&z=2513658830430358

Stay tuned.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Odysseus1962:
Thanks for keeping us updated and for your continued efforts in developing this ROM.

On a side note: on your 3.3.0p1 (JB-4.3) ROM you mention getting tethering to work with the android-wifi-tether app. I've had no success with it. Can you please post which version and what settings you used to get it working. It's the only thing left that's keeping me from making it my daily driver. TIA
[HTC Amaze 4G] malar413:
You know you should never ask this to dev? I hope you don't know the XDA rules, but if don't, I'm sorry for all devs and members on XDA that you can just write without read the rules...

Thx for who can give me a hand!
[HTC Amaze 4G] :
New 4.4.4 build up. Still on Pmem kernel, so issues still remain.

Also, 4.4.3 and higher were released as bugfix builds, but caused some stability issues as a result.

Those are being remediated, but with all that considered, this is still not recommended as a daily driver.

Additional note:

Sorry I have been away so long, family and job have consumed me.

I'm going to see what's up with Jose and SportsStar89 to see what I've missed.

most of the rom threads have a section called "known issues" it helps elaborate on the most prominent issues, this thread simply referes to the QA and then the QA refers back to this thread for known issues. i dont think its fair for the OP to subject every one to read a whole 32 pages (and more in future) to determine the known issues.

---------- Post added at 04:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:59 PM ----------

***** I'll keep this list up to date by my personnal experience and with every updates we will receive. *****

Issues/not working*:

- Random reboot (1-2 times/day, with the last update, nothing)

- black status bar inapp

- the stock Browser app doesn't work : uninstall Browser in system/apps with root access to stop error message

- broken images in the preview screen (recent apps) : EDIT 13-11-21: Now, just a black square with the icon app.

- SD card not working (internal and external SD)*: no root acces with Titanium, can't play music or video from the memory of the phone (main storage) and

can't access the storage device on the PC via USB connection

- Can't use ART runtime

- Gallery and camera/camcorder seems to not working (on my device...)

----

EDIT build 13-11-21

: Now, it seems that these apps are working (can see through the camera), but the apps can't used the sd card for the storage... for this reason, they are not usable because it's impossible to take and save the pictures.

- black screen in Gmail and some other apps: unreadable emails because where it's supposed to be a text or image, it's a black screen/box. Same thing for the first screen at the launch of Hangouts, Drive and the articles in Currents are all black screens

- screenshot : can't take screenshot cause no storage and the preview is totally broken with a random collor, dots and lines

- Music & video playback

Working*:

- Auto-brightness

- Bluetooth

- Call (good quality, no echoes, no lag, good volume)

- SMS/MMS

- Data

- wifi

- GPS

- NFC/Android Beam

- Music & video playback

- Translucent status bar on the homescreen

- All the basics gapps like Chrome, Keep, Hangouts (SMS/MMS support), Play Music/Store/Books/Games/Movies, Google Now, ...

- Speaker

- Very good performance for the game like Subway Surf (need more space / SD card access/ to try bigger games like Need For Speed)

- Wifi and data tethering is fast and works great

- External SD card (not for the apps, just with an file explorer and via PC with USB connection)

This ROM is incredibly fast and smooth! Best ROM I seen and tried ever!

Thx to you jeepers!
[HTC Amaze 4G] :
I've got the external sd mounting fixed. Internal is giving me fits.

I am compiling another attempt right now to fix internal.... I found a mischevious "/" where there shouldn't be one, and I'm hoping that does the trick.

I'll upload the new build so you can try it out and at least have acess to one sd...
[HTC Amaze 4G] malar413:
Thx ! I'll test it and give you my feedback!
[HTC Amaze 4G] malar413:
Yep! The external SD card is working! But it can't be used by the apps like the camera... Now the camera/camcorder are working but can't save the picture because the apps seems to don't have access to sd card (external). For the main storage, it's not working again.

We are on the good way!
[HTC Amaze 4G] the show stopper:
does ART work in this build ?
[HTC Amaze 4G] incapable86:
No, atleast not yet.
[HTC Amaze 4G] rbross3030:
Excellent stuff man, how was this achieved, can this fix be ported to other "vanilla android-esque" ROMs as well? Call volume and echo has really been the achilles heal of every AOSP rom for the Amaze since their conception... I really need a strong daily driver and any/every version of sense makes me want to vomit and crap at the same time but I haven't had any other option due to people on the other end hearing echo in calls...
[HTC Amaze 4G] malar413:
I think you can use this ROM without any big/major issues. I used it since the first release and it is very useable. Go to post #26 (page 3), I listed many working/not working things.
[HTC Amaze 4G] cojocar.andrei:
Hi guys,

So you're saying that call volume and echo are solved on this one? Thanks
[HTC Amaze 4G] malar413:
Yes, good quality call for me, on my device.
[HTC Amaze 4G] mestguy182:
How can you get around the internal SD card issue though?
[HTC Amaze 4G] jv2k:
I would disagree. I got a random reboot, it wont let me install swiftkey, and the sdcard issues are for the internal memory and it's causing quite a few problems for me.

It's certainly a promising rom and I think within a few weeks or even days that we'll have something potentially usable, but for a daily driver people need something a little more reliable.

I am pretty shocked how well the data works though. Every rom since sense 3.6 ics has given us so much trouble getting data working and this one works just fine. It's usable I guess but even if you're anti sense you probably want something more reliable than this badboy.
[HTC Amaze 4G] malar413:
Don't know what you need and what you understood about "no big/major issues", but this is a usable alpha ROM with all the basics features working like mic, phone, internet, wifi, data, GPS... This is my definition of very usable alpha ROM...
[HTC Amaze 4G] GoodOlTarvis:
I think it's fairly stable (internal SD aside) because this is pretty much the only post-ICS ROM where things like camera, brightness sensor, and in-call volume controls all work in the same ROM.
[HTC Amaze 4G] tufail.budoo:
Hmm goog work man:thumbup:
[HTC Amaze 4G] jv2k:
That sd card causes all sorts of weird bugs bugs especially with regards to installing apps.

I definitely get it's really stable for what it is and somehow it's the first rom we've gotten that gets a lot of things working from the go so I'm sure it's going to be better than most other roms for this device by the end of the month, but I wouldn't be so eager to recommend it yet. After using it for a while yesterday the browser stopped rendering, internal memory was inaccessible, and app installation was really hit and miss.

It's usable enough to try out, but as a replacement for something stable it's not really there yet.
[HTC Amaze 4G] GoodOlTarvis:
Well, that's the thing. I recommend this rom because it's on track for getting the internal SD fixed within the next few days, probably. I can't recommend others (like CM10.1 or 10.2 or AOKP or so) because their last updates were months ago and their issues probably won't ever be resolved. The only other stable choices are Sense roms, and many people don't want that.

I rely on my phone for calls, and this ROM does that a lot better than CM10.2 does with its volume issues.
[HTC Amaze 4G] :
New build posted. Still working on getting internal sd mounting ironed out.
[HTC Amaze 4G] mestguy182:

I only used it for a few minutes but the SD card still won't mount and I noticed the recent apps (hold home button) still shows all of the app previews with lines through it. We just need SD fixed and this will be fantastic.

MTP mounted

Hey jeepers, as always, I have to try everything out, and I was wondering what the issue is with the sdcard mounting?

I fiddled a little bit with the rom and I'm currently mounted to the sdcard thru mtp on my computer.

I downloaded slimbean gapps, but was unable to get them to work.

If you have already got the mtp mounting issue resolved, then nevermind, but if you haven't then pm me and i'll tell you what i did.
