Thanks,

Can I just flash the different version over the previous?
[HTC Amaze 4G] mestguy182:
I'm pretty sure you can. If you get issues after flashing than you'll probably want to remove the old ones first and try again.
[HTC Amaze 4G] lifeisfun:
How can you uninstall the old package?

That's unfortunate, lets hope you'll figure it out :good:
[HTC Amaze 4G] :
Alright, everyone.

Need some testers!

New build link up in first post. This has some additional vold coding that will hopefully bring us our internal sdcard....

If you don't get access, please get a log for me.

Either way, please report your results.
[HTC Amaze 4G] mestguy182:
Still no internal SD. External sd is working great though. I get a message at boot that says my sd card is damaged and i should consider reformatting it. So it definitely knows its there. Not sure how to make a log.

Paranoid android gapps is working well.

---------- Post added at 08:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:55 PM ----------

Did you unbrick your phone?
[HTC Amaze 4G] :
Still working on the unbrick...

okay, let me think about the internal sd some more.

For everyone's info. Make sure you

don't

format the sdcard from inside the ROM.
[HTC Amaze 4G] chevycowboyusa:
Pretty much the same thing Ravike did.
[HTC Amaze 4G] :
daxx! He had to get his to someone with a jtag to revive it?
[HTC Amaze 4G] chevycowboyusa:
Yep. Sorry.. I should have warned you better. Did you edit the vold.fstab?

latest startup log:

Bugs:

"Damaged SD card" message appears, however SD card access OK. Once the message disappears, SD card is no longer available.

Home long press shows items with jagged color lines.
[HTC Amaze 4G] ravike14:
You left it as sdcard0 I guess??

Edit: the Damage partition comes cuz it has mounted the whole partition at once.. Out of that 16gig the SD card is the 36th block so make sure to edit it as sdcard0 36/../.../sdcc.1/mmchost/mmc0... If you format it the whole partition gets format means all the 16gig along with radio and all the important hidden partitions and it'll lead to a hard brick...
[HTC Amaze 4G] mestguy182:
So is that the solution to fixing our SD card problem?
[HTC Amaze 4G] chevycowboyusa:
Not exactly. But progress in the right direction.

But it could be, we've been testing this with jellybean and don't have a ROM that will stay booted long enough to test.
[HTC Amaze 4G] ravike14:
Well that's the correct way to mount the internal sdcard not sure whether it'll fix it, cuz Google doesn't even like any separate storage any more. That's why modern android doesn't let you mount from computer anymore, just uses media transfer protocol the main reason all the new upcoming devices comes sealed cuz separate storages needs oem hacks ...
[HTC Amaze 4G] mestguy182:
I see. Is there a way to manually mount the Internal SD card using Jeeper's latest build (yesterday)?
[HTC Amaze 4G] :
New build up. Need some testers. I did not mess with sd card mounting on this one.

I did, however, put new firmware in the build for our wifi...

Please confirm that wifi still functions.

On another note, my amaze is bricked good. Sending it to a jtag specialist. Crossing my fingers they can bring it back from the dead.

Thanks!
[HTC Amaze 4G] SuperAfnan:
A JTAG should fix it!

Sorry to hear about your Amaze! A JTAG should fix it if it could fix ravike14's Amaze from the same issue. :good:

We need more people that can compile stuff from source. We already have porters and ROM developers. It's like having the same food every day, not much variety. I think I'll learn how to compile sooner or later, I need to build a better PC though, an old Dell Inspiron 1545 will only go so far. lol
[HTC Amaze 4G] Odysseus1962:
Afnan it's not as difficult as you think. I'm a 50yo truck driver with no formal education in computers. I'm completely self-taught. Heck back when I was in college there were no PCs, only mainframes, and had to drop the only computer class I ever took because I couldn't get the hang of punch cards (make one typo, get them out of order, or try to debug was impossible for me to deal with). That said, I've been running Gentoo Linux (which is compiled from the sources) as my exclusive OS since 2003. My only computer for the past 6-7 years is a Dell Precision M90 with a 2ghz Core2-Duo processor and 4GB of RAM. With that ancient setup it takes approx. 30hours to recompile my entire system, which includes the entire KDE suite, LibreOffice, the IceTea-Java development kit, and all of the required libraries and build dependencies. On my ancient setup it takes approx. 40 mins to compile a kernel from freshly updated sources. Subsequent kernel compilations are faster since only changes from the original build need to be made. I just got finished repartitioning my harddrive allocating more space to my /opt partition, so I can begin experimenting with kernel development and perhaps take a stab at some ROM development as well.

The point that I'm getting at is that it isn't that hard to roll your own operating system. Initial setup is the hard part. Once it's up and running most things are automatic. Using nice and setting priorities to the build processes allows me to be surfing the net and posting this reply while my system is seamlessly compiling and updating in the background.

You seem like a very bright and capable young man. I'm sure you could get the hang of it easily. If a self-taught old geezer like myself can do it you can too.

Ciao

The wifi appears to be working very well. Data speeds are very good and it reconnects quickly after toggling the wifi off then back on.
[HTC Amaze 4G] mestguy182:
Is there anyway to manually mount the internal SD card to get it to work in this rom?
[HTC Amaze 4G] ravike14:
well jeepers can fix it i guess cuz he have access to the source it'll be a lil brain storming but do-able i guess, however i tried with the sense jb rom i can mount only a single storage at a time no matter what :/ i dont have access to the source of this so i'm in a dead end anyway :/

Anyone solve the black bars/frames with some of the Kit Kat Gapps?

Specifically: Google Now search results frame is black, Gmail has black bars at the bottom.

A few other gapps besides PA suggested in the thread, but no luck for me.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Dave O:
Wow LOVING THIS ROM! And the fact that in call volume and no echo? I've been waiting for this for a long time! Koodos to all of you who are working and taking part in this!

Of course a little buggy but this isn't vet old yet. Keep up the good work!
[HTC Amaze 4G] malar413:
The last build (11-22-13) gives me some lags in the settings screens and the keyboard is now not very responsive... A bit slower than the previous release.

EDIT : And now, I lost 83% of charge in just 6h. It seems that Android OS eaten about 30% of my battery usage...The device was in standby during all these 6 hours.

Is that for everybody?
[HTC Amaze 4G] bhtm:
OK anyone else experiencing this other than me :)

Looks to be the new web component in KK which is now based on chrome, Any application with embedded web parts are black for me.

[MENTION=693610]jeepers007[/MENTION]

I hope your Amaze will be fixed soon :)

Here is hint what fixed the gmail app black boxes on Galaxy Nexus

Perhaps it could save you some time troubleshooting :)

http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/c/54291/
[HTC Amaze 4G] :
New version in first post.

- added code to fix remaining sensors

- added code for Chromium framework to fix black squares in last build.

[HTC Amaze 4G] zPacKRat:
were you able to unbrick your Amaze?
[HTC Amaze 4G] lovecomplex:
Still having the black screen in gmail and voice search, perhaps due to browser FCs? logcat.

I see some errors about permissions; I tried the "fix permissions" tool in 4EXT, but no luck.

couple other FCs too, I think it was google play news.

Thanks for all the great work! I see a new DD in my near future.
[HTC Amaze 4G] malar413:
Same thing for me.
[HTC Amaze 4G] :
It's out being repaired by a jtag specialist now. Hope to have it back in about a week or so.
[HTC Amaze 4G] :
New build up.

This has some additional code in vold that might help fix internal sd card mounting.

Please report back...

Thanks, everyone!
[HTC Amaze 4G] malar413:
Hi!

I think that the link for the new build is dead, I can't download the zip.

Thx!

EDIT: it works now...
[HTC Amaze 4G] mestguy182:
Jeepers, you don't even have your phone and you're continuing to make builds. Thank you man, you're awesome.
[HTC Amaze 4G] TMinuS1:
No luck on internal mounting. Same behavior as before. "Damaged SD card" message appears, however SD card access OK. Once the message disappears, SD card is no longer available. here is the log: http://paste.evervolv.com/view/54822497
[HTC Amaze 4G] Dave O:
Also not sure if it means anything but the external SD is named SD card and below it says no external SD mounted... Seems they are switched but it doesn't see the internal.

Still rocking this ROM and loving it!

Bugs I have are probably the same as the rest... Camera shows black, Gnow and gmail shows black, reboot seems to always turn on airplane mode, the screen doesn't turn off when the phone is to my ear during a call (proximity sensor), of course SD card... Can't think of any more right now.
[HTC Amaze 4G] :
okay, i have an idea. making up another build. will be up in about an hour.
[HTC Amaze 4G] malar413:
Did you tried the latest build? Because the proximity sensor (during call) is working for me, I don't have the bug with the airplane mode after reboot and I can see through the camera (not a black screen) but I can't use it because the internal sd card is not mounted...

I also have the same issue with Gmail, Gnow and some other Gapps.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Dave O:
OK i spoke to soon the 131127 build fixed the proximity sensor...
[HTC Amaze 4G] :
new build up. tried some different permissions for the sd partition mounts in init.ruby.rc.

Let me know if it works.

Thanks!
[HTC Amaze 4G] mestguy182:
Any word on the SD card issue?
[HTC Amaze 4G] mestguy182:
SD card still doesn't work. I get the same damaged card message as before.
[HTC Amaze 4G] :
New build up. Tweaked the fstab and init.rc mount codes.

Let me know if it works.

jeepers007
[HTC Amaze 4G] Dave O:
Ok I think the last build actually broke the external SD card... it won't recognize either one.

Edit: anyone else get that?
[HTC Amaze 4G] mestguy182:
Just tried the last build. It behaved the same as the one before. Still had the damaged SD card message and manually mounting the external SD still worked.
[HTC Amaze 4G] malar413:
For the moment, I have any issue with the external SD (no Damaged SD card message) and if I use an file explorer, the card is recognized. I just can't used it with apps for extra storage. Did you performed a full-wipe (cache+dalvik+data/factory reset) ?

I experienced some lag (littlebit slow transitions between apps and homescreen, for example), and the black boxes in Gapps are still here.

EDIT : I just rebooted the device and for a reason I can't explain, I have now the SD card message...
[HTC Amaze 4G] Dave O:
Bug report!

Hot spot doesn't work, just says error.. And I any seem to find the camera icon. I know it doesn't work due to the storage card but I can't find the icon... It can only be accessed by the lock screen. Unless I'm blind! Haha
[HTC Amaze 4G] :
New build up.

This one uses an alternative chromium repo, and should take care of the graphical glitches and black boxes.

Reverted sd mount code back to where we had external.

Appreciate your reports back on these items.

jeepers007
[HTC Amaze 4G] :
Built in hotspot/tethering have been broken since 4.3... ti never updated their code for 4.3.

try this app.... http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/

you might have to play with the settings/configuration a bit, but it worked on 4.3...
[HTC Amaze 4G] Dave O:
Will try with latest version soon!

Thanks
[HTC Amaze 4G] Odysseus1962:
I'm afraid I don't understand exactly what you mean. What does Ti updating their code have to do with the wifi or bluetooth tethering not working? If neither the built-in app or android-wifi-tether worked then I would understand and agree 100%. But the statement above is illogical, because if android-wifi-tether works then the proper drivers are already installed and functioning within the kernel. That app is generic, as it works across multiple devices with differing hardware configurations and varying versions of Android, but it doesn't supply any missing Ti kernel drivers. All it does is expose extra features and configuration settings that aren't made available to the user with the built-in application. If it works, but the built-in one doesn't, then it's a matter of configuring the built-in app to make it work. This is the only logical conclusion that can be made here.
[HTC Amaze 4G] :
I edited that post. You're right, it didn't sound right about how I explained the broken tethering/hotspot.

Firmware is fine. It's a framework/lib issue. A real network guru that knows android well could probably write a wrapper, re-write libs to make the right framework calls, or other code to get us going, but those people are hard to find. The software I referred you to does basically that.

I keep my eyes open to see if anyone figures this out. One member of the CM team keeps trying for the TI-18xx chipset. Has had no luck getting it to work.
[HTC Amaze 4G] malar413:
Same like the last build. Black boxes are still there ...
[HTC Amaze 4G] Odysseus1962:
[MENTION=693610]jeepers007[/MENTION] Thanks for clarifying. Now it makes sense, and I understand better. Thanks again.

Edit: Isn't that project also open sourced? If so, perhaps their development might point the direction.
[HTC Amaze 4G] :
This is just me poking my head in but sounds like an overlay issue
[HTC Amaze 4G] Odysseus1962:
Good to see you around. I've read many of your posts and have tried several of your ROMs. Are you still deving here or have you moved on?
[HTC Amaze 4G] :

Make sure you have the latest gapps. There have been a lot of improvements.
[HTC Amaze 4G] mestguy182:
So does that mean you got your phone back?

Any ideas on the SD card?
[HTC Amaze 4G] chevycowboyusa:
Sdcard

Hey, Jeepers, I have Information that the dominos liberty sense 5 rom succesfully mounts the sdcard correctly, you should look at it!

Some of the things I've figured out recently,

1) Mtp has to be set up in the kernel

2) build.prop has to have the correct setting for emmc phone fat and usb

If you want, I can pull the files, I have downloaded the rom, and I'll send you the files that I think you might need.

Chevy
[HTC Amaze 4G] :
we should be good on mtp. its already native in the kernel.

absolutely send me the settings for build.prop. I really appreciate the hand.

Btw, for everyone else. built in browser fc's and other issues are common right now with most CM11 builds for our sister devices as well. Opera Mini and Chrome are reported to work without issue.

Gallery is a known issue too. Use an alternative, like quickpic, for the time being. I've been looking for fixes, but none are out there yet.
[HTC Amaze 4G] :
Best of luck to you and your team!
[HTC Amaze 4G] Dave O:
I'm using the latest PA gapps... Is there another I should use?
[HTC Amaze 4G] chevycowboyusa:
Build.prop settings

build prop settings for storage:

# For emmc phone storage

ro.phone_storage = 1

# For ext4 file system

ro.ext4fs = 1

#For OTG usb storage

ro.usb_host = 1

Vold.fstab:

# Mounts the first usable partition of the specified device

dev_mount sdcard /storage/sdcard0 emmc /devices/platform/msm_sdcc.1/mmc_host

dev_mount usb /storage/usb auto /devices/platform/msm_hsusb_host

I'm not sure of what else is needed, some libs, maybe?

:) :cowboy:
[HTC Amaze 4G] :
I've tried changing internal sd to emmc filesystem type from vfat, and using ro.emmc=1 and ro.emmc.sdcard.partition=36. Those did not work.

I'll try the above and see where we get to.

Thanks again, cowboy!

Btw, my phone is fixed and is on its way back to me now. :)
[HTC Amaze 4G] chevycowboyusa:
YAY!

Glad You got your phone back!

I'm stoll trying to narrow down exactly what files I need.

I'm working on a jellybean port trying to get it to work. It's strange, the sense 5 works, but not the sense 4+/4.5.

Frustrating...

:)

But that's the fun of this all, getting something that isn't working and fixing it!

:cowboy:
[HTC Amaze 4G] polarbass:
Very nice rom so far.

It's awesome that you guys fixed the audio routing and the echo on call.

Bugs so far are the black box on google apps (using PA latest gapp) and with facebook, the text appear fine but the all the images are missing and it's crashing often.

Keep up the good work!

I can provide logs if you need. Just need to know how to proceed.
[HTC Amaze 4G] kazzxtrismus:
I don't use gapps much (but play) does this mean that it may be a possible daily for some?

Or is battery life still poor etc?

[HTC Amaze 4G] mestguy182:
Not quite ready for a daily yet. Internal SD doesn't mount which causes a bunch of problems, and the black box issue is pretty annoying too. In the plus side, phone volume is working again. Once the kinks are ironed out this rom should be awesome.
[HTC Amaze 4G] malar413:
Many apps are not working. This is my daily ROM because the basic features like the phone (volume+quality) and SMS/MMS apps are good, but I use my Asus TF300 for to read my emails and all the other things that I can't do on my Amaze.

This is a very nice job and in couple of week, when the device will back (Jeepers's device), I'm pretty sure that it will be the best ROM for our Amaze!
[HTC Amaze 4G] chevycowboyusa:
I've got a sense 5 Rom booting on the amaze. It's very far from being released.

But mtp works and the internal sdcard/storage can be seen.

Soon as I figure out what files work, we should be good.

Also could look at the sensation kit Kat roms and see what they did to overcome this issue.

I use almost none of the pre installed apps...like gmail etc

i like alternative apps and have purchased enough that id only download play store if i could...i dont even use the standard facebook.

are alternative playstore apps working on this...like

aquamail

business calendar

swiftkey

handcent?

pls let me know what is working as i wouldnt call the factory apps not working a drawback...unless theres enough problems that these dont even work.

otherwise... Keep up the great work!!...thank you for all the hard work!!

I dont use most of the apps you asked so I cant tell.

Swiftkey is not working because it need the SD card to be mounted.

Skype is working fine
[HTC Amaze 4G] :
Sorry so long between updates. Lost my build server access. Then my local build box that I was using as a backup was acting up. Think I got it sorted, and I'm trying a build now. The local box takes a while to build, so it will hopefully be up this evening.

I've added some build.prop entries for the sd card mounting. Some tweaks to the camera courtesy of the code used in CM builds for our 866x based HTC devices. You'll have to let me know if that makes any differences to camera function.

Also, the AOSP base code was updated to the 4.4.1 base.

Many more changes specific to Evervolv as well.

I'll let you know when I have the new build posted.
[HTC Amaze 4G] lifeisfun:
Thanks for all the work!

Looking forward to build that will solve the black box problem in gmail app and chrome :)
[HTC Amaze 4G] :
Well.. build failed at about the 90% complete mark. I did a fix and started it again, but it'll be tomorrow morning before I get anything up at this point.... lol...

Missing that server now. That thing could do a build super quick....
[HTC Amaze 4G] rdar_93:
Does camera and video record work?

Also does in call volume control work?
[HTC Amaze 4G] rdar_93:
Oooohhh That's some good news! Though the having no camera thing is a kinda deal breaker on this. :( Does anyone know if Camscanner works?
[HTC Amaze 4G] polarbass:
Any apps that need the SD Card to be mounted is not working right now.
[HTC Amaze 4G] chevycowboyusa:
Jeepers, did any of the stuff help out for the mounting? There may need to be some kernel editing.
[HTC Amaze 4G] :
Haven't been able to test. Still battling buildbox issues. I've run out of partition space, so I'm having to reallocate.

Should be done in about an hour... then I can restart the build....

I've got all the same settings our sister devices are using in their repos. I haven't been to their forums though to see if the mounts are showing up correctly.

The closest one to our configuration seems to be the holiday. Helicopter88 has a build going for cm11.
[HTC Amaze 4G] chevycowboyusa:
I'll check it out too...
[HTC Amaze 4G] Dave O:
Fingers crossed!! Keep up the good work! :thumbup:
[HTC Amaze 4G] :
New build posted. Give it a try, let me know how it works.

FYI - internal sd still does not mount with changes added.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Dave O:
On the latest and I'm only showing 2 bars of service when I normally have full reception. Data speeds seem normal tho.

Other then that not much has changed.
[HTC Amaze 4G] malar413:
Hi!

The last build seems to be slower (homescreen transitions, transitions, animations and apps execution). I have an issue with the signal bar (2 bars for the full 3G or 4G speed) and sometimes, at the boot, I experience a graphic glitch with the status bar (all or some icons are not at the good place or just all on all...) Otherwise, the black boxes in Gmail are still there. Now, Browser app can be launched but it is not usable because of black screen issue like Gmail.

I like the new Home option in Settings. I presume that we will be able to choose between different launchers if we want. I prefer the KitKat launcher, but it can be nice for who wants to get another one.

Thx! Hope that the SD card issue will be fixed soon!

EDIT: I don't know if it can help you to fix the black boxes issue in some Gapps, but I have the same issue with xda app-developers app and with RDS GO (free app on Play Store if you want to see what's happened). For XDA app, I have black box in the bottom of the screen and I think it is the ads area. For RDS GO, the articles are all black like Gmail.
[HTC Amaze 4G] :
You guys make any progress with the 3.4 kernel?
[HTC Amaze 4G] SuperAfnan:
Yes, [MENTION=5115117]ravike14[/MENTION] got it booting, though it's got missing pieces due to HTC not releasing all the source code. Therefore it's working, but somewhat incomplete. There's not many options available since HTC is stingy with the proprietary sense code.

By Christmas we'll have JB Sense.
[HTC Amaze 4G] amin1457:
thanks great work
[HTC Amaze 4G] :
Does he have the source code for it anywhere because most of our stuff is opensource
