Yankee, I followed your steps for a completely clean install for Y17, and BlinkFeed is not enabled. How do I enable it?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] yankees2450:

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] yankees2450:
Problem with gallery view while on camera mode. If you want to use it pull it from y16.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Freelancerx:
cool i thought it was something more important than just a broken shortcut, BTW is wifi tether working yet or does that still need to be done for a future release?

also is putting zoe on y17 as simple as replacing camera.apk from y17 with the one from y16? or do i need to replace or move other apps? thanks for the help
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] yankees2450:
WiFi need more work. Zoe camera.apk. added to external sd folder. Boot into recovery. Mount system. Move app to system/app. Wipe dalvik cache n cache. Boot. Enjoy
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] cirehawk:
No way! That simple? Sometime we overlook the obvious. lol Awesome job. No issues on Y17 so far.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] yankees2450:
Update

Sense 5.5

All I care is stability n performance.

Once I finished with WiFi tether I'll start working on 5.5

Next releases

Sense 5 Y18 then sense 5.5 Y19

Stay tuned
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] canhazpixels:
Ok, installed the non-zoe camera apk, and the limited burst mode/FC on crop issues are still present. Maybe it's just me... Anyone have any input?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] adhusky:
Was the slo-motion video camera removed intentionally?

Other than that the ROM is awesome!!

Thank for your hard work!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Neipas09:
Just check out my signature to see everything you need to know about my phone.

I'm not having any issues with booting after a clean install (i've done Y4 about 3 times now), i also use the Superwipe.zip file found on the 1st post. I run it about 3x before i flash the rom.

I also did a complete wipe of my Internal SD last night just for ****s and giggles, and it had no issues booting up with that either.

My suggestion to you would be superwipe, superwipe, superwipe, flash rom, reboot, wait......................, enjoy rom!

---------- Post added at 09:48 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:36 AM ----------

I would also like to know what apk or keywords in Titanium Backup i need to search for to rid myself of the Blink Feed.

I know some people enjoy it, but i despise it and don't want it. Just more bloatware forced on us by HTC, imo.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jae-v:
Thanks for this great build :good:

Also to add, my build wouldn't boot.

Superwipe wouldn't flash.

Started working when i did advance wipe, clear system, data, android secure, cache, dalv. cache.

installed rom, cleared cache again and it finally booted
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Active_Matrix:
I do not know about everyone else, but i am thinking a new thread?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Neipas09:
What's the point of a new thread?

Then you lose all the links for downloads and hacks that people have added to this thread for changing different aspects of the phone.

1 Thread for 1 ROM should be a no brainer.

Different versions of the SAME ROM doesn't justify needing different threads.

Just update the title of the thread and the changelog as needed.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Active_Matrix:
I say new, because it will be a different ROM we are talking 4.2.2 not 4.1.2 so not all might work with this!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] dantheman68:
Yeah I think new as well... The working hacks will naturally come over by the active people in this thread trying them out on the 4.2.2 ROM
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Neipas09:
Ah! Good point.

But it's still all Jelly Bean is it not?

But if it's not a new OS, i.e. Jelly Bean -> Kit Kat, then i feel that it should remain in the same thread.

But i don't know how to make roms, so maybe the jump from 4.1.2 -> 4.2.2 is a completely different OS structure and nothing in this thread will carry over. And if that's the case, then yes, i agree with a new thread.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] numel007:
So I'm newly flashed, and titanium is acting up on me. For some reason it only restores part of my backups, while the ones that aren't restored don't even have the option to, even manually. Do I have bad backups or something?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] rootlinux:
Pretty much same thing happened to me on flashing y4.

Recovery fried and bootloop city.

Internal got cleaned in the process.

Took about 30 minutes to get it booted back and running on Stock rom.

It took a fresh recovery flash and restore stock rom.

It said failed on stock restore but it did work. Odd I know.

Unable to mount internal or external storage via recovery but did allow me to restore once I fixed recovery.

After it booted my storage was mounted but internal was cleared.

No big lose but be aware it can happen.

---------- Post added at 02:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:47 PM ----------

I would like to know what recovery everyone that has had bootloops and recovery crashes.

I was on 2.6.3.0 kitkat recovery.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] gmzombie:
So I have tried this ROM to and while I had it working I restarted after the initial install and couldn't get back in. Sat at the HTC one logo for easily 15 mins. I get into recovery and cleaned cache and Davlik but didn't work. I Reflashed the ROM and it works great but after a reboot nothing. I want to use this as when I was using it it was great. IM s off with twrp 2

5.0.0. Newest firmware too.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] rootlinux:
I had problems with 2.5.0.0

2.6.3.0 has been great.

Try that and see if it helps.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Neipas09:
Did you use the Superwipe prior to flashing?

If no, try running that 3x before flashing the rom.

If yes, try downloading another copy of the ROM.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] robbo10:
I was wondering the same thing

---------- Post added at 12:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:45 PM ----------

Latest TWRP, my recovery seems to be fine and didn't' lose storage. Mine was boot looping between splash screen and TeamWin initial screen
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] dantheman68:
I was in the same recovery and it was booting for over 30 minutes I SIM battery pulled and it wouldnt open recovery, I factory reset and it booted in undr 5. I now have no boot problems and recovery loads fine

I'll definitely bring the volume to skip songs over to 4.2.2 since I need that for when I'm driving...hands free driving in manhattan ks and so on...
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] flewpastu:
yeah thanks but i was looking to remove it all together,, not looking like its an option tho

btw i tried wifi hotspot using wifi tether .. i tried all the tweaks but for some reason its not working any tips for that and this may be a keeper for a while
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] MFOsaka:
Blinkfeed altogether? Nah, you can't on 4.1.2. 4.2 and up, yes. You can however change your home page so you don't have to see it.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] cirehawk:
Does anyone have an issue with wifi randomly turning off? I first noticed this on Y16 and just had it happen on Y17. I was on my home wifi, left for work and when I get here I noticed after a bit I wasn't on wifi. Checked settings and it was turned off.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Osirus71:
I have gotten it before as well.....Side note....Are most people already jumping ship to the new M8??? All EVO LTE threads are pretty much dead.....:crying:
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] cirehawk:
Thanks. It's no big deal, i just have to remember to check ever so often to make sure my wifi is still enabled. As for the M8? I'm not jumping. I still have a few months on my contract, so I'll be on the LTE for a bit longer. Even then I may hold off. Phones are to the point that they are more than powerful enough for me. If/when I do upgrade, I'll get the ONE (since it will probably be pretty close to free), unless by the time I'm eligible the M8 has came down it price. Of course if I change carriers and leave Sprint (which is strong possibility since I'm fed up with their crappy network), then I'll choose the best phone for me at that time.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] markjc12:
So Im running a little late to this party. Im on version Y10 4.1.2, (yea I know, way late to the party) I want to upgrade to the new 4.3 Y16 17 etc. First I need to get S-Off, another thing Im late to, but I don't want to brick my phone, yada yada. So what would be the best way to attack this? First get S-Off, then start with Y13 and flash up from there, right? Best way to get S-Off? Do I have to start at Y13 or can I start higher? Y15, Y16? Any and all info would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. Love the ROM by the way, minimal issues, nothing I couldn't deal with or correct myself. Also don't mind my sig, haven't updated that thing in years?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] gstanke:
S-off methods depends on your HBOOT I was 2.09 when I got s-off and I used rumrunner. You can run the ruu (4.13.651.4) located post six I believe being s-on bit you will need to relock your bootloader. After ruu you need to reinstall Twrp (modified thanks to Captain_Throwback) and then flash rom of your choice. There is also a link for the newest supersu in Captain's thread with the modified Twrp. If you get s-off before you decide to upgrade HBOOT and firmware you won't have to relock bootloader.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] drich66:
Y17 running fine here with no issues. I was thinking about the M8.

---------- Post added at 09:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:12 PM ----------

I was on Y10 for a long time, probably my favorite on the old format. I just went S-off and made the jump after being super afraid of bricking and reading horror stories and not too experienced. Just read up on the forums and do searches if you have questions as everyone is so helpful and most questions are out there. Yankee has done such an amazing job and i see him answering so many redundant questions, he has the patience of a saint so dont hesitate to throw him some thanks and buy him a and captain a beer for all they do. Read Captains guides and it will depend on what hboot you have and then re-read the guide and follow the instructions. Once S-off, it seems much easier to do more plus you can try way more Roms. You will also need it to go to the new format which will be the base for most new Roms, radios and updates anyways. Just my 2 "sense", Good luck,

Is anyone getting wakelock with google services???? My battery drained yesterday quickly. Usually last close to 20hrs, but yesterday is was dead with about 8hrs Normal use....checked android tuner battery monitor and it said i had a wake lock with google services...Just checking to see if anyone had this occur as well...
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] parlayed:
Wake lock issue as well here with Google Services. Also I performed a clean install of Y17 after using updated Super Wipe :confused:
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Osirus71:
removed xposed modules and sense5 toolbox and have been getten way better life today... Been running for over 7 hrs and down to 75%.....Will update thread after more investigation....Just FYI....Seems to be working for me.....

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Osirus71:
I think thread is dead????? No peeps for a while....Y17 still getting horrible battery life still with all teaks and hibernation of non essential apps....I think ive had the best results with Y15 i think.....not sure, but have to flash a different rom or version due to terrible battery life so far on Y17:crying:
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] cirehawk:
Yeah, battery life doesn't seem to be as good but I get through the day for the most part. Y17 has been the most stable for me to this point, so as long as I can get through the day I can live with the battery life. Hopefully this isn't the end of the line for this ROM though.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] parlayed:
I wanted to add here that I originally was getting terrible battery life on Y17. I originally updated to the new format by not using Captain's provide RUU but instead just the provided files. Well I applied the complete RUU for 4.13.651.3, reinstalled Y17, but did not use/modify the Xpose Modules or the Sense 5 Toolbox and now my battery life is great. I have only dropped 5% in 3hrs and 15 mins. with very minimum use.

So I am not sure if my original issue with excessive battery drain was the method that I used to update to the new format or the Xposed Modules / Sense 5 Toolbox, but I thought I would share what has worked for me so far.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] cirehawk:
So when you applied the RUU did you lose root or S-OFF, thus having to take extra steps to regain them? Or was it as straight forward as you just stated, meaning apply the RUU and flash Y17?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] parlayed:
I did not loose root, but my bootloader became relocked (with S-OFF). I unlocked the bootloader via HTC method, reloaded new recovery and reinstalled Y17.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] gstanke:
When I ran the ruu I was unlocked and s-off. After the ruu finished I was still unlocked. I know that if you are s-on you have to relock your bootloader for it to work. But being s-off connected phone to win 7 PC, ran ruu, installed modified Twrp flashed newest supersu then wiped everything through Twrp (excluding external sd) reboot to recovery after wiping(saves a headache) because most times after wiping system phone will reboot during flash of New rom. Flash rom reboot and let load

I did the same thing, but Y17 has been terrible for battery and im getting constant wakelocks with google play services.....Dont know what the issue could be....this is on a clean install with not modules running....
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Rammv:
The google play services is the problem, every once in a while it wakelocks the phone. One way I just clear everything for it in settings, apps , and then force stop and it clears up the wakelock or clear cache, delvic cache through recovery and that takes care of it also. You will notice battery life is mucho better.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] krazyjay36:
I'm still S-Off but across the top it now says Tanpered, and right below it says Locked. Not sure If i did something wrong or if i need to do something else to fix it.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Cmorris8848:
It says in the instructions that Captain gave that there have been cases where upgrading to the new hboot can cause the bootloader to relock. It doesn't really matter because it doesn't effect root or your ability to flash roms, kernels, etc. It only keeps you from using fastboot. If you want to use fastboot to flash something, then you'll just need to unlock via the HTC method. No big deal though, so no worries :)

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] hasseye:
Hey Yank, looking forward to sense 5.5 Y18.

Is there anyway you can keep of the Xposed Installer and Sense5 toolbox and maybe just have those extras as a seperate download? Some people reported that it caused more battery drain (can't confirm this) and I like to have it as close to stock with as few apps installed as possible.

Just my suggestion, either way I'll still use Y18 regardless :)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] AarSyl:
Just delete it from system, or get Titanium Backup to remove it. Moreso, use option #2. TB has many uses.

WiFi Tether

Does anyone know how to make WiFi Tether work on Android 4.3 Y17?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] puhiniho:
I believe if you do a search on this thread you can find specific setting, but you'll need to get the app "wifi router" from the play store ($2.50).

I also found a free app in the store that might work for this ROM. Check out my post on the Viper 4.0 original ROM or PM to test it out. Good luck!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] cinnabarcorp:
So the wifi tether app ( http://android-wifi-tether.googlecode.com ) that comes with the rom doesnt work anymore?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] puhiniho:
No, the wifi tether app doesn't work, but I believe Y18 was supposedly going to have it fixed. Not sure when that would come out. Btw, here's the link to GoodandEVO referencing how to use "wifi router"

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] cirehawk:
Got the itch to try Sense 5.5, so I flashed ViperROM 4.0 while waiting for an update from Yankees. It's a bit choppy, but someone mentioned earlier on here that he thought Sense 5.5 performed worse than Sense 5.0. So that could be why it's slower.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] AarSyl:
Sorry to quote myself, but the XPosed app comes with the rom, but the actual framework has to be installed to the /system through the app itself. So really, it's burning your battery, since it has nothing to do.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] cirehawk:
After a couple days on Viper4.0, I decided to restore my nandroid of Y17 today. I loved the ViperTweaks app and how much it allowed you to change things, but overall it was just a tad bit too laggy for me. As I said in my last post, I'm not sure if that's due to Sense 5.5, but if it is, Sense 5.5 (and blinkfeed 5.5 in particular) doesn't offer that much more than 5.0. Y17 is smooth and I'll just stick with it. Things have been really quiet here lately, so not sure how long the updates will continue. However, since everything pretty much works smoothly it should be good as long as I own my phone (which may be a while since I really like it and don't REALLY have a compelling reason to upgrade). Thanks for all your efforts yankees.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] AarSyl:
I agree that Sense 5.0 is actually smoother than 5.5. With the added Viper features, the lags is increased by a little bit. Sense 5 is more than good enough for me.

I find that the lag is most noticeable when waking the device (especially with background services running and/or lockscreen widgets), and when pulling down the notifications while in an app, like the browser. For example, the device almost doesn't wake up sometimes when I am using Wifi Tether Router.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] cirehawk:
Agreed, though I haven't been running WiFi tether. The biggest issue for me was that sometimes Sense would have to reload after exiting an app that had been running a while. It would take a while (20-30 seconds maybe) to reload, and the phone was pretty non-responsive during that time. There is a lot to like about Viper though, so if they address the lag issue I will give it another shot.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] AarSyl:
The reloads aren't exclusive to Viper, but to Sense 5.5. Granted, I have seen reloads on Sense 5, but it is much, much, much less often.

I'm glad that I'm not the only person who sees these things.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] cirehawk:
Nope, you're not the only one. So it's more a Sense 5.5 issue huh? I was kinda looking forward to a Sense 5.5 version of this ROM, but not if it will suffer from the same issues. I wonder if we'll see Sense 6 come to this phone. From all I read it's supposed to be smoother than 5.5, but then again it's running on the new M8 (better hardware) so that could part of it. These developers work minor miracles sometimes, so I wouldn't be surprised to see it.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] gstanke:
[MENTION=3041115]Sinistertensai[/MENTION] and [MENTION=548944]chubbzlou[/MENTION] are currently working on a sense 6 port for us. I believe the only bug stopping it from being a daily is the issue with no sound in calls. But like you said the devs around here work miracles.

Not sure how much more stable you can get this one since it is rock solid for me. Maybe battery life. Definitely appreciate your efforts. If 5.5 is really the issue with lag on other roms, I'd rather not use it unless you have some tricks to make it as smooth as 5.0 is. I am curious about Sense 6 though.
