4th time trying to install this rom: I flashed the rom first, fully booted and let it idle for a few minutes. Then, booted into recovery, flashed PA GAPPS, wipe cache/dalvik and was stuck on the boot screen. I pulled battery and tried rebooting, still stuck on boot screen. Not sure what else is wrong. Oh well, back to CM11.
[HTC Rezound] acejavelin:
Did you try different gapps, although PA Gapps "should" work, only standard or Banks gapps are recommended in the OP. I have done this twice now with both build and Banks gapps and it worked fine both times.

Are you clean wiping before installing (format EVERYTHING except the external SD card, including internal storage)?
[HTC Rezound] kkozma:
What recovery are you using?
[HTC Rezound] cduru:
I normally run cleanwipe 5x, wipe cache and dalvik before every flash. I am using clockwork recovery. What eludes me is the fact that I can successfully flash cm11 and liquidsmooth, but not this one.
[HTC Rezound] kkozma:
Well, evervolv does use a different build repo than CM and liquid... It might be the recovery, I dunno. If you really want to try using TWRP 2.6.3.0 or 2.6.3.3.
[HTC Rezound] cduru:
I quit using TWRP 2.6.3.0 a week and a half ago when it failed to nandroid backup due to its failed attempt to create a backup folder. That's when I switched to CW. I might just switch back or quit trying to flash rom in the meantime. Thanks for your help.
[HTC Rezound] mjones73:
I set up ART when I first installed this, ran into an issue with an app, set it back to Dalvik and that wasn't the problem. Now trying to set it back to ART, the setting won't stick, it reverts to Dalvik after the reboot. Any suggestions?
[HTC Rezound] onthehole:
In twrp , just name the backup a shorter file name. It fails because the file that is auto generated is too long.

Sent from my HTC Rezound.
[HTC Rezound] cduru:
And how do I do that? I don't believe that a file was generated because it failed upon attempt. In external-sd/twrp/backups, I see "HT1BHS211849" and that's it. Is that what I have to change?
[HTC Rezound] mjones73:
Click the Backup Name: (Auto Generate) button at the top of the backup screen. Backspace til the name is shorter, I usually back it up to the date and append the rom name on the end of it.
[HTC Rezound] kkozma:
Try wiping the cache and dalvik cache.
[HTC Rezound] scy1192:
I can confirm that EDGE (2G) is working on T-Mobile with this ROM. Just got my prepaid SIM in today, testing the waters for when my contract with Verizon is up.
[HTC Rezound] mjones73:
I did, last attempt I switched it, pulled the battery at the HTC screen, booted into recovery, wiped, booted back up, back on Dalvik.

Does this rom not do the Android is Upgrading after wiping Dalvik either?

It's strange that the setting just won't stick. :)
[HTC Rezound] acejavelin:
Sweet!

FYI... That is the best you will ever get on Tmo, the Rez doesn't support Tmo's 3G network. On AT&T's 3G and 4G/HSPA+ are possible (with significant modding on a mostly stock ROM).
[HTC Rezound] scy1192:
It's the only thing I get in my area. 0.03Mbps on T-Mo EDGE, 7Mbps on Verizon LTE.

Hopefully it gets better by the time I'm ready to switch.
[HTC Rezound] acejavelin:
Hmm... This got me to thinking and try a Speedtest on my end, as I was going to gloat a little at getting 45Mbps down on LTE here, but after running the speed test I am only getting around 4-5 Mbps down with a -75dBm signal strength... I get much better on AT&T HSPA+ on my Nexus 4, around 11Mbps down, very odd. I am not sure if something changed here over the last month or so (since I last did a speed test) but I have never gotten less than 30Mbps on Verizon 4G LTE since we got it here. When I get some time going to try restoring a Nandroid of something earlier and see if the speeds are the same or it's a ROM issue. I am able to achieve speed tests in the range of 28-30 Mbps on WiFi though.

But back to your original thing... get used to 0.03 Mbps if you are going to Tmo on the Rez, it is the best you will get that way on any ROM/radio combination, the Rez doesn't have the hardware to talk on Tmobile's network faster. If you really wanna go T-Mobile, I would recommend a different phone, perhaps the Moto G GPe for $199 would be much better and not break the bank, and you could get HSPA+ speeds.
[HTC Rezound] blu422:
Man! I can confirm that GSM isn't working here either (just sending texts, everything else does work) well I guess I'll wait till the next 4.4.2 rom update
[HTC Rezound] acejavelin:
Eh... Nandroided back to stock and a couple different JB ROMs and ran speed test... Guess its just slow here tonight, similar results on all ROMs and my son's Bionic. Definitely not an issue with Evervolv.
[HTC Rezound] blu422:
[MENTION=4592408]scy1192[/MENTION] Could you get text message sending to work? On T-Mobile that is.
[HTC Rezound] scy1192:
I got the free welcome to T-Mobile texts, I'll try sending an SMS and MMS to my Verizon number and see what happens. I'm getting a really spotty signal so it might take a few minutes

edit: I'm getting 0 bars (-120dBm, 99asu) of signal with it completely dropping off when I try to send a message. I don't know if it's coincidental or what. Receiving SMS works at least. Calling works too.

edit2: mms doesn't seem to work either. The signal stays but the message fails to send. Weird that it doesn't work, but calling and data work.

edit3: got a logcat of attempting to send an sms, if it helps any. it's attached. It was a wee bit too big to upload as a .txt
[HTC Rezound] blu422:
yeah thats exactly the same problems i get, and it is the same with cm11
[HTC Rezound] scy1192:
on the plus side, my data speeds are up to 0.20Mbps/0.11Mbps :D

[MENTION=2658396]kkozma[/MENTION] or other devs, if you need any more logs or testing for GSM, just let me know. I've got a month of prepaid (with 2.5GB of data) to use up.
[HTC Rezound] blu422:
Last I recall [MENTION=5037435]REV3NT3CH[/MENTION] was working on gsm for kit kat maybe they'll figure something out (which would be awesome cause i'm kraving kit kat right now)
[HTC Rezound] mjones73:
FYI - Viper4Android works on this rom for me, great option for anyone looking to improve their audio.
[HTC Rezound] acejavelin:
Just remember that T-Mobile uses the 1700 Mhz AWS bands for 3G, the Rezound does not have the proper hardware to work in this frequency range. You will never get better than Edge (GSM/Edge) on the Rezound on T-Mobile.
[HTC Rezound] cduru:
Okay. I think I found the culprit to my troubles with this rom: restoring app data through Titanium Backup. I normally use mybackup pro to restore such my call log, alarm and dictionary; it reboots okay after that. Then, I use Titanium for everything else - that is, SMS/MMS, etc. Anyone have issues with Titanium restore? Just trying to still figure this out.
[HTC Rezound] tholmes8291:
Need a little help. I cannot connect to Play Store. I've tried both gapps in OP. Also my Google account wont sync. I've tried clearing data and cache for Play Store and resetting the local host. Nothing works. I have no issue when I'm on EclipticRez v9. Flashed clean. Ideas?

Edit: Data connection is fine
[HTC Rezound] cduru:
Go to the url for BANKS GAPPS: http://goo.im/devs/BaNkS/GApps/4.4.2 . Download and flash the browser and calendar zips in recovery. Worked for me.
[HTC Rezound] tholmes8291:
Thanks. I'll give it a try but I now think I have a bigger issue. I flashed CM11 and Tachyon 1.2 also and have the same problem. Just rooted/s-offed replacement phone last night so I think I missed something. Other than this issue tho all run fine. I'll move this on to the proper thread now. Thanks again for the reply.
[HTC Rezound] mjones73:
I'd RUU your phone and start clean on it.
[HTC Rezound] kkozma:
Sorry for the lack of updates, real work is getting in the way plus I'm REALLY wanting to iron out GSM support for the next release. I have a test build running right now that I HOPE will make it all work. SMS isn't working because the phone doesn't know it's own phone number in GSM mode.

One thing I found is there doesn't appear to be any way to add another home screen manually with the AOSP Launcher as it's configured with the ROM. I might play around with sticking CM's version of it in there, or just recommend the Banks GAPPS as they overwrite the launcher that's built with the ROM.

Hopefully I'll have an update for you guys today!
[HTC Rezound] mjones73:
Try adding a widget/app to the desktop and dragging it to the right where you'd want a new screen.
[HTC Rezound] kkozma:
I tried that. Doesn't seem to work. :(

Good news! I believe I got GSM working correctly!! Fresh build underway, will have an update available later this afternoon.
[HTC Rezound] mjones73:
I guess I just recommend tossing the Google Experience Launcher on top if you want that style launcher, it works fine.
[HTC Rezound] acejavelin:
I think the stock launcher should be left in the ROM as by original design, I think one of problems some devs have is they try to customize a ROM too much and wind up losing the "core" of what the ROM should be... I am not talking about stuff like Tachyon, which is at it's very core intended to be a customized, optimized ROM, but some of them go a little crazy with different kernels, launchers, Aroma installers, tweaks, etc. This in itself isn't a bad thing, but sometimes the original ROM gets too muddied down to be recognizable anymore and causes other isses.

Personally, leave the ROM stock and let people chose the launcher or whatever other feature they want... it isn't hard to change things at all in a rooted device on a custom ROM. Normally I use Nova, but in this case the one with the Banks Gapps is sufficient.

And if I missed the whole point of what the last few posts were about, well, just ignore this post. :o
[HTC Rezound] mjones73:
I was just pointing out I installed GE over top of the stock one. :)
[HTC Rezound] kkozma:
New build uploaded! Link in OP updated.

- GSM should be working now!

- Switched to Evervolv Default wallpaper.

- Fresh repo sync, no other major changes.
[HTC Rezound] blu422:
Heck freaking yes I've been checking all day on my way to test the gsm!
[HTC Rezound] kkozma:
It works for me, but I can only get edge on my AT&T sim card. I was able to send and recieve text messages no problems though.

I have another build running with a few more network options enabled. But for now the GSM one should be sufficient. That option is mapped to GSM/WCDMA Auto in case you're wondering.
[HTC Rezound] acejavelin:
Edge is probably all you will get without some build.prop and NV edits... This is [MENTION=5037435]REV3NT3CH[/MENTION] area of expertise though.

I will give it a whirl tonight, dirty or clean flash recommended?
[HTC Rezound] mjones73:
Is there any trick to getting it to keep gapps or do we need to flash them fresh?
[HTC Rezound] cduru:
01-17 flashed successfully. This time, I only used MyBackup to restore app and data. Working well so far.

I flashed the Netflix hack in recovery, then rebooted and installed Netflix from the market. When i click on the icon, it gets stuck on the Netflix login animation, not really reaching the login screen. Am I doing something wrong?
[HTC Rezound] kkozma:
I have the nv edits already done. I was really hoping to use the SIM card from my work iphone, but edge isn't going to cut it. :( Dirty flash should be fine, but see below.

Seems that the evervolv updater script formats system when it installs. I'll have to look and see if I can remove that feature, so for now you'll just have to reflash the gapps.
[HTC Rezound] kkozma:
Glad you finally got it going!!!

You shouldn't need the netflix hack anymore. I built or into the Rom. Let me take a look and see if I can get it going again.

Edit: Ok, the Netflix hack is an init.d script. So you will need to reboot after you install Netflix to let it do it's thing. Just tested on mine and it works fine.
[HTC Rezound] madjomack:
My only issue is that I can't install the XDA-Developers app on this rom.

It says "Couldn't install on USB storage or SD card.

I've tried unmounting the external sd card and install and get the same error.

I am installing from the play store.

Also this is all after a full clean wipe and nothing restored.
[HTC Rezound] cduru:
Thanks for being understanding Kkozma. I never doubted your work; just annoyed that I didn't know my problem earlier. Now I see that restoring with Titanium was my issue. Our rom is definitely speedy and I like its simplicity.

I was able to get Netflix working. I flashed the hack again and then it worked.

One thing though: is there a way to add shortcuts to the lockscreen or perhaps add a widget to it? Or, is it possible to modifying tiles in the notification pane? Not that these are problems, just wondering.

Thanks again for your work.
[HTC Rezound] Quantumrabbit:
If I try to flash the SU Binary (1.89), it makes it so the phone never boots. Specifically, it won't even show the evervolv logo. Am I doing something wrong in trying to flash that? Are only specific versions supported or something?

Also, themes, just like on Liquid, don't seem to affect the statusbar. On my tablet 4.4.2 ROMs, that's not an issue. Is this specific to our device, these specific ROMs?
[HTC Rezound] acejavelin:
Why are you flashing a different su? There is one built in the ROM that is very full featured. :confused:

---------- Post added at 09:10 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:02 AM ----------

Go to Settings->Security and Enable widgets so that you can add widgets to the lock screen, it is the KK default to have them turned off now. I am using Dashclock and works fine. One of the cool things Evervolv has is the Dialer Widget, dial from the lockscreen.

As far as shortcuts, I haven't found a way yet to add shortcuts to the lock screen, but with the security turned off, you could probably use WidgetLocker or something similar to get them... This is about the only really useful feature I miss from most other ROMs, but I am gradually getting used to it.

I also haven't seen a way to modify the quick notification tiles... remember this is a streamlined, base Android OS with a handful of tweaks, Evervolv doesn't try to be most customizable ROM, just stable, simple, and usable.

[MENTION=2658396]kkozma[/MENTION], any chance of getting this official, or at least OTA-able? It is stable enough and appears to be unmodified enough, one of the cool things about Evervolv is the OTA updater!!
[HTC Rezound] mjones73:
Xposed framework with the Gravity Box for KK module will let you mod the quick tiles and a whole lot of other things.
[HTC Rezound] acejavelin:
Gravity Box works on this ROM? Sweet, I'll have to play with it after tournaments today.
[HTC Rezound] kkozma:
Good question... There are quite a few differences between some of the repos for Evervolv and what I'm using that might keep me from being official. But who knows maybe not!

msm8660-common is different, their display and media legacy repos wont work with they hybrid kernel, and of course the kernel itself. Not quite sure who I'd even contact to inquire about becoming official.

I can take a look into the evupdater though. :)
[HTC Rezound] acejavelin:
My guess would be [MENTION=2780293]preludedrew[/MENTION] would be the one to contact, assuming his Twitter name an xda name are the same, according to the Evervolv page he is the founder and admin, probably a good place to start. :)

EDIT: Looks like that is the right contact, he is a recognized developer here
[HTC Rezound] Quantumrabbit:
Because a few apps I use complain I may experience errors. Titanium for instance. I went without it, seems to be working anyway.
[HTC Rezound] mjones73:
Yeah, [MENTION=4592408]scy1192[/MENTION] pointed it out. I use it to manage the quick tiles, flip my volume keys in horizontal, remove the need to hit enter on the PIN lock screen and to kill my capacitive buttons from lighting up. Oh, swapped the battery icon too, if you do that, disable the ROM's or you get two on reboots.

I found a trick for a module that didn't work and put my phone in a boot loop also, just used TWRP's file manager to find it in /data/app and deleted it.
[HTC Rezound] acejavelin:
Makes sense... I don't use TiBu, I prefer Ultimate Backup actually. This ROM doesn't use SuperSU or SuperUser (it is an Evovolv proprietary implementation of su) so flashing one of the major switchuser replacements could cause issues... well, obviously does cause issues. :silly:
[HTC Rezound] tompdillon:
I have the exact same problem. Anybody have any ideas on this one?

Other than that it is working well.
[HTC Rezound] acejavelin:
Just use Tapatalk
[HTC Rezound] kkozma:
I have no idea about the xda app. :( Sounds like they maybe haven't updated it for kitkat yet.
[HTC Rezound] acejavelin:
I think I read somewhere they were not going to continue development with the XDA app, now that Tapatalk is free and their app is based on Tapatalk anyway.
[HTC Rezound] mjones73:
I did a clean install for the hell of it this morning, got ART working this time. The only issue I'm having is on occasion when I reboot the phone, it goes into a loop a couple times then finally boots up. Anything I can check log wise to see what it's doing?
[HTC Rezound] kkozma:
That happens to me from time to time as well... I'm pretty sure it's a memory thing. May still have to tweak the memory map a bit and give the kernel a bit more...

Is anyone still having reboot issues with Google maps? I tried like hell to duplicate that issue and it flat just works. I do know that Google recently updated maps, so maybe it was an issue on the app side.
[HTC Rezound] mjones73:
Sorry don't even have maps installed, Waze user.
[HTC Rezound] acejavelin:
I have only had a single reboot issue, once when in Chrome downloading a big file... Other than that, not a single glitch. Running Dalvik and Banks Gapps.
[HTC Rezound] blu422:
installed this rom. it revolutionized my battery life and i can confirm gsm is working it had a bit of a rough intitial install it crashed a few times but then i reflashed it after wiping again completely and its just been smooth sailing from there the only problem is that xda developers will not install. every other app will do just fine its is only xda? it says it cant be put in the storage or something its really bizarre
[HTC Rezound] acejavelin:
It seems the XDA app doesn't like this ROM for some reason (it works on KitKat on my Nexus 4), but just use Tapatalk.
[HTC Rezound] kcipopnevets:
This ROM is really catching my eye... So I have a question. Does the notification shade lag when pulled down like in the other KitKat ROMs? I might hop aboard if so since that will make this a great DD!
[HTC Rezound] acejavelin:
Actually it doesn't lag that I've seen, in fact, it doesn't lag anywhere in the ROM at all.
[HTC Rezound] kkozma:
The only place I've seen weird lag issues is in the wallpaper picker. Of all the resource intensive stuff in these roms, the last place I'd expect lag is in a module to display a static image. lol Not really sure I understand why, but I suppose it could be a launcher issue.
[HTC Rezound] kcipopnevets:
Okay! Thanks for the response guys! :)
[HTC Rezound] acejavelin:
No problem... the only things I would recommend are using Banks Gapps, and change all transition effects to 0.5x in Dev options but that is just personal preference (it makes it seem faster).

Unless something new and wonderful comes along this will be my last daily driver ROM, I am up for a new phone this summer at work and this ROM is good enough, stable enough, and worry free that I don't see any reason to change it now... of course, who knows what come out next with our devs, they tend to surprise us every so often with gems like this!
[HTC Rezound] kcipopnevets:
Thanks for the tips. I flashed the ROM and unfortunately, my notification shade still stutters down the screen. :( Is this ROM PMEM? I'm familiar with the slow-start nature of them and this one's showing.
[HTC Rezound] acejavelin:
Interesting... I have been playing with my phone all morning and haven't noticed any lag or stuttering of the notification shade at all.

I believe [MENTION=2658396]kkozma[/MENTION] said this was Ion, except parts of the camcorder app, earlier in the thread.
[HTC Rezound] mjones73:
No stutter here, running with Bank's standard gapps, ART run time, Google Experience Launcher and I switched my governor to Bad Ass.

[MENTION=2001582]acejavelin[/MENTION] - That would be correct, all ION except for the camera.
[HTC Rezound] kkozma:
Under what circumstances does this happen? I've been trying for the last 10 minutes to duplicate, and I can't get it to even flinch once, let alone hang up.
[HTC Rezound] kcipopnevets:
I don't know if I'm having a hardware issue or what, but no matter where I am, the shade just choppily comes down on all KitKat ROMs. I clean wiped and even tried going back to earlier Android versions, and it was very smooth. Maybe my phone doesn't agree with 4.4? The shade is the only thing that is slow for me, everything else runs great...
[HTC Rezound] acejavelin:
What hboot/radios and recovery are you using? Are you wiping EVERYTHING except external SD card, including internal storage?

Does it do this running vanilla (no apps installed/restored, just ROM+Gapps)?

Are you using Verizon, a GSM SIM, or PagePlus?

Messed with prop.build or NV settings ever?

Something is different if you are having this on all KK builds yet others are not, just trying to pin down any possible things I can think of... If we can pin it down it might help someone else later.
[HTC Rezound] radiantx:
No simultaneous voice and 3G/4G data on this ROM or did I screw up a setting somewhere?

Currently running the latest Evervolv build and radios 2.23.10.0123r, 2.23.10.0124r.

I also have problems installing/TiBU restoring some apps. For example "NBA Game Time" throws an error "Couldn't install on USB storage or SD card." My device has plenty of free space on all storage.
[HTC Rezound] tompdillon:
Thanks for the tip. Xposed is great. I've been looking for something like XVoice+ for a long time. Gravity Box as well.
[HTC Rezound] calvinb1:
+1 same here. I also tried installing the apps directly from the play store and got the same errors.
[HTC Rezound] jrat69:
removed
[HTC Rezound] kcipopnevets:
I usually don't format internal storage but I did when I first flashed Neo's 11-24 PMEM. I had shade lag there too. I honestly think this is a hardware problem... My orientation animation is also laggy no matter what ROM I run.

I'm on Verizon.

Never messed with NV, I did mess with the build.prop to toggle the navigation bar.

And yes, this information will be gold, I can tell. But I'm kinda disappointed this is only happening to myself, or whoever else is having this problem isn't speaking up.

I have a performance question: Are you having lag running the app "Pou"? I did on the stock ICS ROM and any other PMEM build, but also Carbon hybrid. The app runs great on CM11 hybrid and TACHYON ION and the same goes for gaming performance as a whole. Do I maybe need to do the RUU method and work back up to the latest firmware and see if anything changes?

I appreciate your guys' help. :)
[HTC Rezound] mjones73:
Banks works with ART, the other doesn't. Banks does a few other things too which are listed on their links.

Can you uncomment the whole first post from your post please?
[HTC Rezound] kkozma:
Good news! I think I found a fix for the can't install app issue. :)

I was just able to successfully install the XDA app. I may also be on the right track for fixing the mass storage as well.
[HTC Rezound] acejavelin:
I also have the issue with simultaneous voice and data, I notice when on a voice call mobile data drops off completely. Never noticed before today but I assume its been doing that since day 1.

---------- Post added at 02:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:18 PM ----------

Never use Pou, but Candy Crush works fine... A little jerky on occasion but even my N4 does that once in a while.

What recovery? Have you tried a different one? I really don't think that's the issue, but better to eliminate it.

I always format internal storage when jumping ROMs, just keeps things cleaner. I would recommend trying it with a vanilla install and see if the issue still occurs.
