Okay. I keep catching you after the edit. I actually have to start over fresh, cause I'm using the base from BlakKatRom github and i haven't made any changes to supersonic source at all yet. Soon as i got it, ill push to github though.

Well I have good news and bad news.

Got Evervolv to finish building, but it wouldn't boot. Fixed that, but now it's stuck on the bootanimation. So something is preventing it from initializing all the way. I can't spend anymore time on this tonight, unfortunately, though.

I'll try and upload what I have to my github if I have time.

EDIT: Looking at logcat from boot up now. It's probably just some ramdisk stuff. I'll keep at it for a bit longer.

Nice so we are close I can taste it I tell u, lol go captain.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Captain_Throwback:
I think this is the only error preventing initialization:

E/dalvikvm( 120): Could not stat dex cache directory '/data/dalvik-cache': No such file or directory

It's getting created in the ramdisk, I think the question is just where it needs to be.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vinman12:
Not sure, so close

---------- Post added at 09:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:04 PM ----------

Looks like your boot.img is not creating the proper partitions

There should be a line in boot.img.... In the init file

Something like

mkdir data/dalvik-cache

Fallowed by a set perm for the partition

chmod 644 /data/dalvik-cache

---------- Post added at 09:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:37 PM ----------

Or something like that, or maybe set permissions to 700

Can you link your build your trying to flash or pm me a link so I can try it and maybe help figure it out

---------- Post added at 09:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:39 PM ----------

I'll check back tomnorow,
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Captain_Throwback:
Yeah those lines are in the ramdisk. I'm sure it's something in there. Maybe you or [MENTION=5369363]Wambo_[/MENTION] can take a look at it. I talked briefly with [MENTION=2780293]preludedrew[/MENTION] on IRC and told him I'd upload what I have to Gerrit and he said he could take a look and fix what's broken. That'll be a job for tomorrow.

Here's the ROM, and here's the boot image that gets it at least booting. There's one change that needs to be made to the fstab.supersonic in the ramdisk, but that's not what's preventing it from booting (though that will likely prevent it from mounting storage). But finishing the boot is the most important thing at this point. I'm certain it's all in the ramdisk. It has to be.

EDIT: See below for working version ;)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Captain_Throwback:
You can disregard my previous post ;)

I'm rebuilding Evervolv now and will upload shortly :D.

Data doesn't work (it'll connect for a second, then immediately disconnect), but everything else appears to be (mostly) working. You'll need to find some slim KitKat GApps as well. I used the ones from here.

did you flash gapps after the rom in recovery, or flashed rom, reboot, then flash gapps?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Captain_Throwback:
How I did it isn't really relevant because I didn't flash gapps until I knew it would boot. You should be able to queue them up in recovery and flash them together.

I was able to install Play Store apps just fine (on WiFi, of course, both paid and free apps).

I highly recommend not switching to ART because that expands the size of all your app data, and this device simply doesn't have enough space to accommodate that.

I have no plans of fixing anything on the ROM; my job was just to get it booting. If you recall, I said I wasn't even developing for this device anymore . . .

Did it work at all or never
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] toplist:
So, I reflashed kitkat evervolv now. Data seems to work almost fine.

The Freedompop messaging app requires wifi or data for messaging or calling. On data, messaging is working fine but calling failed. The app force close Incoming call works but the app force closes. Then, when I checked on wifi, same thing happened. So, there must be something wrong with their app. Browsing worked fine on data.

Freedompop allows wifi tethering. It was working fine on my miui jellybean rom but it failed on kitkat.

I will say data is pretty much functional, at least on Freedompop network.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fishgoon:

Freedom pop is a reseller of sprint service. My behavior is very similar to what you describe. In and out every 15-30 seconds, but constant during a sustained download, streaming, etc. Jlmancuso, if you found a way to get rid of the data going in and out let me know. Would a dirty flash from the 4.2.2 build work? Might have to try that later.

Okay, here's my Beta (alpha?) report:

Data- seems to "sleep" at times. Kind of like the wifi policy, if the phone is off the wifi is at rest. I haven't had it cut out while downloading anything, but when I wake the phone up it takes a while for 3g to come back on.

mounts2sd - works perfectly

Holo Launcher HD - behaves "nicer" than the built in launcher. The once with the rom kept randomly dropping screens (ie I had 4, after reboot it showed 3 or sometimes 5)

1x - messages don't seem to come through right away. But its Sprint, so who knows!

Any other ?'s or tasks you need done?

Sound- Ringtones and Notifications are a lot softer than they were in Deck's Reloaded. Can't find anything in the settings that would make that so.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vinman12:

Once it was up (did not sign into google) I turned on ART which gave me issues booting the first few times it would hang. After the third try it booted up and ran fine execpt that the wifi did not work. Rebooted again and wifi was back on.
