After a long series of unfortunate events, I ended up getting the phone back to 100% stock (but S-Off with an unlocked bootloader). After several failed attempts to get CM11 to even install, I figured I'd give DU another shot. NOW the problem I'm having is that when I flash any version (tried several - the Official build and the last few nightlies) of DU, on a reboot, all I get is a black screen. Nothing ever comes up. Looking for a bridge or a tall building at this point (kidding). :(
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Linux guy:
Are you sure you're soff? Sounds like you need to fastboot flash boot boot.img

Someone correct me I have to go and can't check RN.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] samdu:
Positive I'm S-Off. Just installed Omni and it went off without a hitch. Going to try going back to DU now to see if it'll go now that another AOSP-based ROM has been installed.

Well, shockingly, that actually worked. DU installed and booted up. Still no WiFi, though. :\

Progress!!!

I was reading up on a bug in CM11 last night that said something about the WiFi Region Code not being set on boot causing the WiFi radio not to turn on. The quick fix is to go into WiFi settings and, before turning on WiFi, setting the region code. I did that and it works! WiFi came right up. There is a permanent fix out there that has been rolled into the latest CM11 nightlies and is available outside of them as well. Now I just need to retrace my web browsing steps to track it down. But that is for another time. I've been up all night messing with this thing. ;)

Here's the solution for anyone interested:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2368501

On page 2, iirc, of that thread, there's a post with a line to add to build.prop. I ran through that and it seems to have worked. I'll know for sure after a bit more testing, but it's looking good right now. Man - the last fourteen hours have had me doing all sorts of things with Android that I'd never done before.

v8.0 RELEASE

V8.0 is released!!! :)

Check the OP for changelog and link!!

ENJOY guys and remember if you get a FC, pull a logcat. If you get a reboot off something, pull a last_kmsg. Make sure you do a FULL WIPE :)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] slimpyman:
bah... the weeklies seem to boot fine, but this official build wont boot. just hangs at black screen even though twrp says it flashed successfully.

i did a full wipe. and even wiped internal sd and the micro sd. any suggestions?

even more weird, when i did a full wipe, when i connect my phone using a cable while in twrp, i cannot see the drives listed in windows. so then i enable MTP and i can see both the internal and microsd, but i cannot copy any files. maybe the twrp 2.8.0.1 is broken a little bit?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Captain_Throwback:
MTP is still WIP.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] slimpyman:
ahh its ok. I still cant figure out why since the jump to 4.4.4 DU wont boot. i am in twrp and go into wipe menu and i put a checkbox next to the following, dalvikcache, cache, data, internal storage, system, and android secure. that should a full wipe, but i get no success... perhaps its helpful to say when i try and flash, after it says symlinkingm it says "script succeded: result was [/system]" and the last line reads updating partition details....

bah. i guess ill throw viper rom on here till I can spend some time to figure it out.

EDIT!

-so the 2.8.0.1 recovery was the thing screwing up the flash. i updated to 2.8.0.2 and its smooth as butter. righteous!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] AarSyl:
Internal storage is not considered when referring to a clean wipe. Only Dalvik Cache, Cache, Data, and System.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] bpaulien:
Yeah. I accidentally wiped mine last night because I updated to the new TWRP and they switched the position of where a couple of the partitions were. I think system and internal storage were switched so it wasn't until I pulled the little slider over I noticed it. Do'h!

Oh well.

I'm having the same problem. Can you tell me where to get twrp 2.8.0.2 for jewel? I only see 2.8.0.1 on the twrp website. Thanks.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ElMadre:
It's actually up to 2.8.0.3 now, available from CT's page.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] azn1234:
I found and flashed the twrp 2.8.0.3 and this ROM successfully. However, I couldn't flash GAPPS. It said unable to open the zip files.

---------- Post added at 03:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:36 PM ----------

I got it working. Thank you very much
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ManUtd07:
Installed ROM and GAPPS fine but am having difficulties in restoring TB backups. It just hangs on an app regardless of whether I choose App Only or App+Data. It's been a while since I transferred to the new partition so I'm sure it has something to do with that, I just can't remember the steps to take. Been trying to look for a solution and will continue to do so but would appreciate any help. Also, came from Viper4G. TIA.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] fizbanrapper:
Kill TB process. Then go back in and try it again, but this time run a smaller batch of apps and don't select the app it keeps hanging on. That's not a fix, but it usually works well enough for me.

Oh and this is a TB problem rather than a DU problem.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ManUtd07:
Yep, I've killed the process as well as trying just one App at a time, a different app each time, and it still hangs at "Restoring." It doesn't even show a progress bar, as though it doesn't even start. I did some researching and tried to adjust in TB Troubleshooting, changing the App Processing Mode to AUTO, indirect. I figured it was a TB thing and not the ROM. May try to reflash ROM later and see if that helps. I appreciate the help though.

It is also the last kitkat version that we will release on here. Once Android L is released, we will begin the transition to that :)

Hope you all enjoy it!!! Thanks :)

Can the "call recorder" internal-voice record? Hope has this feature.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Mazda:
What?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] sixone_email:
In "call recording" feature,the other side voice can recorded without speaker open.Thanks.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Mazda:
Ok there's clearly a language issue so let's get a few things out the way and hopefully I can answer your question if indeed you have one (not even sure lol)

1. Yes, you can record both sides of a phone call with the call recording feature

2. Yes, you can record with or without the speaker on

3. No, the other person can't record the phone call. That's not how the feature works. For that to happen, the other person would need either a ROM with this feature included or an app from the playstore that has the ability to record phone calls.

4. There is no off/on switch for the recording feature.

Again, I'm having a hard time understanding what you're asking so hopefully that clears up any question of how things work with the call recording feature.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] goliath714:
I've tried searching in this thread, several different apps to install busybox, but busybox does not appear to be working correctly. One user in a previous post had asked about this, but the question never got answered. I'm trying to install V4A, which works with every other ROM I've tried, but it will not install due to a busybox error. When I go to install busybox, I see that the current version is 1.21, which is outdated. The most recent version, 1.22, seems to install just fine(there are no errors from the busybox app), but when I reboot and try installing V4A again, it fails with the same busybox error. Again, this is the only ROM that V4A does not work with, so I know it's not a compatibility issue with the apk I'm using. I've tried it on Liquidsmooth, Omni, InsertCoin, Viper, and they all allow a proper install. I have been on the latest hboot, radio, and firmware with the new partition layout since it came out, and have not had any problems with V4A install until this ROM. I would greatly appreciate any suggestions or information about this issue. I prefer V4A over other audio engines/mods because I've found it to have the most customization, but if there is a better one that works with this ROM I will gladly try it out because I much prefer this ROM over any other stock KK ROMs. Thanks in advance.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Mazda:
This works fine....... https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=stericson.busybox&hl=en

I use it all the time while using TWRP Manager

If there's an issue with an app, I suggest you report the bug to the app dev

Viper4Android has been known to cause problems on a number of ROMs.....
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] goliath714:
I reposted the question in the Q&A thread. The busybox you linked is the one I use already. If there are known problems installing V4A in a number of other ROMs, why haven't I had any problems in any other ROMs? I am somewhat of a flashaholic, and install V4A every time I flash any ROM, most of the time I'm reflashing the same ROMs because I'm never content just sticking with something, but DU is the one I keep coming back to as one that I'd like to stick with. The only problem is the audio from stock android is terrible so I like fine-tuning everything that I can. Like I said, if there is another audio mod that gives a good amount of customization, I would rather try it and be on this ROM than have to settle with a more buggy ROM.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Mazda:
From my experience, I've found it to cause more problems then it claims to fix......take that for what it is, my experience.

As for the busybox, I use it every time with TWRP Manager (which requires you to install it) and have zero issues there.

Maybe I missed it but what exactly is the problem with the busybox? Is it not installing or what?

Thanks
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] goliath714:
Busybox installs just fine. V4A just thinks it's not installed in this ROM

Also, do you know of any other good sound mods compatible with KK? I've been looking but have come up dry.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Mazda:
Then that's an issue with V4A.......you might want to talk to the dev behind that app and see where the problem is with that app

If busybox is installed, then it should read it unless is looking for it in a specific location and once again......that would be an app issue not a ROM issue

I use DSPManager and it does the job just fine. If your speakers are not loud enough of it, it could be a hardware issue in which case you should get that replaced/fix

Wireless issues?

Ran v7.7 for a while and now, I just installed 8.1. Anyone having issues with the wireless? When turning on the wifi, all it says is "Turning Wi-Fi on..." then after 5 mins, Wi-Fi turns off. I tried changing the region code from Europe to United States but it kept switching back to Europe when hitting back to turn on the Wi-Fi. Same thing on v8.0. I've done multiple flashings of both versions with complete wipes but same results. Any ideas?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Mazda:
Define "complete wipes"

Also, what recovery and it's version are you using?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] itzluwe32y:
Thanks for the response. Complete wipes meaning dalvik, cache, data, system, secure. Running on teamwin version 2.6.3. I am now running v7.7 again and wifi is working. Region code has defaulted to United States and if changed to Canada, the region is saved.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Mazda:
Update your recovery to the latest and perform a full wipe (every option in recovery) then adb push your ROM zip to your device, then flash

I'm running the latest right now and have no issues with WiFi

Check the official TWRP website for the latest download link.....
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] itzluwe32y:
So after upgrading to TWRP v2.8.0.1 and doing a full wipe then pushing the ROM zip to the phone and flashing. I'm receiving the error

"SymLinking:

symlink: some symlinks failed

E:Error executing updater binary in zip '/sdcard/DU_jewel_4.4.4_20141017-2216.v8.1-OFFICIAL.zip'

Error flashing zip '/sdcard/DU_jewel_4.4.4_20141017-2216.v8.1-OFFICIAL.zip

Updating partition details..."

I vaguely remember having the same issue when I flashed DU v7 with TWRP v.2.8

Which recovery are you running? I'd like to mirror my environment to yours if you don't mind.

I don't usually post questions about these things, as you can see my total number of posts...usually someone else has had the same problem, but this has me stumped.

Thanks!

Is there anyway to enable volume/ringer changes while the phone is locked? There's a setting that allows you to wake the phone with the volume rocker, but it doesn't appear that I can change my ringer volume while the phone is locked. Is there a setting I'm missing?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Mazda:
Settings/Buttons
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Greenfieldan:
I see Volume button wake and volume rocker music controls. But I don't see anything that allows me to change the volume while my phone is still locked.

Alright, misunderstood what you were saying. You weren't exactly clear but, yeah.....you can't do that with our ROM

this is seriously best rom to date for my evo lte. i got sprint to lower me and my fiancee bill to 80 bucks (albeit 4 jiggabytes of data) but whatever.... this will treat me well until the new htc is out. unfortunately, i threw DU on her M7 and its a bug-ridden mess, unlike this build. I much appreciate all the work you dudes do on this. it takes care of business.

questions

I've been using this rom for a couple weeks now and just tried to send a 924k video and it said the file was to large. I ended up emailing it but is there a way to increase the mms size? I searched this thread with mms size but no results.

Second, I have an issue when starting to watch a video online (not stored on the phone) in portrait mode and rotate to go to landscape, the phone will freeze and then reboot.

Third, sometimes when I go into a folder the folder will be almost transparent see picture
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Mazda:
1. For now, use a 3rd party SMS app. I'll look into that issue and see about pushing out maybe a test build to correct this issue but we're all currently busy with bringing things up for L.

2. Any FCs or reboots should be followed with logcats and last kmsg. If you don't provide those, telling me about them is useless and I can't do anything beyond telling you to provide those.

3. What launcher are you using? If anything other then Launcher 3, contact the launcher dev and let them know of the issue.

Thanks :)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] romanlynch:
How do I make a log and send them? There is no message, the screen freezes and then it reboots. I have not changed anything with this rom, so whatever launcher was built in is what is being used. Thanks for the response :)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] cloudd901:
I was wondering if anyone would know why my phone will not start up with this rom. I tried 8.0 and some of the 4.4.4 weeklies but it will not boot past the initial 'htc' screen. When I attempted to try an older version 4.3 (20131105) it would not install.

My phone:

Jewel S-Off

HBOOT: 2.10.0000

Recovery: TWRP 2.8.1.0 (tested 2.8.0.1)

Just flashed latest Sprint "RUU_JEWEL_CL_JB43" to update the partition.

I would really like to try this rom. Any help would be appreciated. I've tried reading through this post and looking online but found nothing.

THANKS!

Edit: I've tried Full Wiping (&Clearing d/cache) before and after. Plus multiple reboots.

This rom rocks!! It's so smooth and has some wicked tweakability. I have only one concern at the moment. The menu icon in chrome has decided to hide. When I first open chrome after a reboot or force stoping it, I see the "stacked 3 bar" menu icon in the upper right corner and in less than a second it jumps to the right off the screen and the search bar elongates to take over the new space. How can that icon be brought back? I miss my menu options!! HAHA. Thanks for the AMAZING ROM and for any help on this!!

I believe aosp automatically assumes you have a menu key, so some apps might hide their 3 dot menu key. Just a guess though. Have you tried remapping your keys yet?

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] electronleaker:
If you're referring to the hard buttons, volume and camera, no I haven't tried to remap those. The menu button I'm trying to figure out is one the screen at the top right of chrome. There is no menu options pull down, to get in desktop mode or other options. The menu also seems to have been stripped from firefox also.

If I'm not understanding fully what you're saying, please break it down for me. I've looked through all the settings on the phone that I can find from last night to this morning. Nothing about internet menu options or anything like that. Where exactly is it that you're talking about?

Are you able to run other ROMs?

Based on what others have said, as well as my own experience with the ROM, the 8.1 builds seem to be the most stable.

Oh and you're not flashing a separate kernel, are you? If so, don't.

Is there a way to add shortcuts to the homescreens in addition to widgets?

Yates more a function of your choice of launcher, than the ROM. As far as I know you can add shortcuts to the home screen on any ROM as long as your launcher supports them.
