so I am in the process of moving from Denver to Houston Texas. I was driving from Denver on Saturday and reached New Mexico and had NO data... when you rely on data for navigation, even 1x is better than nothing... I have been out of the loop for a bit but tried reading through the threads to see if the .xml file is the fix but it doesn't seem clear if it was or not... if there is a fix for the roaming problem, can we get it posted on the OP? Would like to be able to do it, but I just want to follow some instructions on what needs to be edited, or what file needs to be changed out..

Still loving the ROM--it has some quirks but those could just be some of the daily apps that i use...
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jbhtexas:
I am in a similar situation. I'd love to install this ROM, but I also need roaming because traveling takes me off Sprint's network. My Evo is my only phone, so I really don't want to risk wiping out roaming. Not sure how this would happen, but it would be nice to get some kind of explanation from HTC as to why roaming is disabled in this ROM.

Just curious, was voice roaming working?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Captain_Throwback:
To fix data roaming, the following options in /system/customize/ACC/default.xml need to be changed from "false" to "true":

<app name="Android_Ril">
<item type="boolean" name="allow_national_roaming">true</item>

<app name="Phone">
<item type="boolean" name="supportNationalRoaming">true</item>

Changing those options, then rebooting will give you an additional Menu in Mobile Networks for Data Roaming, just below "4G Settings". I'm not sure if roaming will work with it set to "National Roaming only", but it should work when set to "All Networks".

I've attached a version of the default xml file with only those two modifications (rename from .txt to .xml).
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] rodohmes:
Would this work properly on the Sense 5.5 ROM? I backed everything up and tried it, and it gave me the additional roaming option, but it also put the NFC icon back in the status bar. Not a big deal, but curious to know your thoughts.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Captain_Throwback:
Yes, this works the same on Sense 5.5. Instructions for removing the NFC icon are linked on the first page (hint: it's a setting in that same file).
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] rodohmes:
I noticed some things having to do with the NFC icon, but I've not edited xml before so I was afraid to change anything. Time to learn!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Captain_Throwback:
It's just like editing any text file. It's not encrypted or anything. And changing a setting then rebooting applies it. No real need to backup everything beforehand as long as you have a backup of the file.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] SilverZero:
It's just a text file. Search and change values, usually "false" to "true" or vice-versa. Very easy process. I just enabled data roaming after thinking it was already enabled - I had all the data roaming options, just not the actual menu under 4G settings, and I was getting frequent "You have lost data connectivity" notifications in low-service areas.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] kaw900r:
Software version 2.12.401.1

Ok, so i thought i did the upgrade to 4.13 but when i just looked into trying the data fix i noticed my software version was still saying 2.12.401.1 with android version 4.3 htc sense version 5.5. It seemed as everything worked cause I had to reload supersu and i am running the rom without any issues. So what did I miss here? t/u
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] memekmek:
Well I took the plunge last night and this was my experience:

Backed up all my data from internal sd card to computer

downloaded all the required files including firmware, recovery, and rom

Updated my firmware via hboot, this locked up my bootloader and disabled fastboot. no worries, booted into the old recovery, mounted sd card, made a PJ75IMG img for the recovery, rebooted and the install went fine for the new recovery. Then i remounted the sdcard to remove the PJ75IMG

installed the deodex version because of all the extra tweaks i wanted to do

flashed supersu v1.93

Win

Im usually an Aosp user and I didnt use a sense rom since viper back in the good ole days (2013) Everything is working and there is no lag and not too much of a data issue in chicago.

I will miss aosp for awhile but I am extremely happy with this. Everything works, thats something I cant always say with aosp on this phone.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Captain_Throwback:
There are AOSP ROMs available for the new setup, btw.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Captain_Throwback:
That's just the Software version of the ROM you're on (the version from the device ROM from which it was ported).
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] memekmek:
i might have to try it eventually, currently enjoying this sense mix. I was on the nexus 5 for 2 months until the screen shattered, it was my first non htc phone and for how much i thought i hated sense...i always wished i had the option to go back on the nexus. The nexus has some nice specs but it was really vanilla and its not worth using your 2 year upgrade for it. Its cheap enough to just buy it. Id rather use the 2 year upgrade on an expensive phone. One major horrible thing for the N5 was no sd card slot, the 16 gb filled up in 1 month for me

btw its always refreshing to just clear up your internal sd card and start fresh :D
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] kaw900r:
T/u

Appreciate the speedy reply. Now i can move forward with the Data fix.:cool:
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] rodohmes:
It really is that easy. Now what else can I change?....

[MENTION=2586600]SilverZero[/MENTION] - I was getting the same notification in roaming yesterday. I've made the changes and will compare later today.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Captain_Throwback:
What data fix?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] zosopage:
Thank you! I will get this done ASAP.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] gnatnog:
Is there an easy way to figure out what AOSP ROMs are compatible? I was looking through the development thread but was having trouble differentiating
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Captain_Throwback:
Right now only Beanstalk and SlimKat, I believe. I built an Omni and CM for testing purposes, but those aren't posted anywhere and don't represent final versions.

I know [MENTION=2719349]xHausx[/MENTION] is working on a version of Omni that'll support both setups. I don't expect CM to ever get updated with it (officially) though.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] markb629:
For anyone sick of looking at the one signal bar when on 4g (I know I was.) I found a text edit to go back to the old signal mapping. I used root explorer for this. Go to system then customize then ACC.

Open default.xml with text editor

Scroll down to

<app name="Android_Telephony">

item type=boolean

name="apply_old_signal_mapping">false<

Change false to true save and reboot.

I personally haven't had any issues with anything since doing this. 4G and 3G still hand off, can still switch manually cdma only on and off, signal bars just stay full now. (Depending on signal strength of course)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] SilverZero:
I'm in a pretty reliable roaming area now, I just checked and noticed I had the notification still, BUT it's because I had only enabled "National roaming only" in the menu. Switching to "All networks" and it immediately jumped to a 3G connection. Network Signal Info app says I'm on Sprint still (strange?) and that I'm on 1xRTT, even though the icon is 3G. I wonder if I forgot to flash the 1x/3G mod for this. No, I must have, I don't have the GPS icon.Shouldn't I be seeing 1x for some of these switches?

EDIT: It just switched back to a non-roaming signal and the Net. type is switching around between eHRPD, EVDO, and 1xRTT (roaming and non). I'm right on the edge of a signal area, it seems.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] kaw900r:
Data drops

The one you have listed that i need to change from false to true.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] dangle79:
i AM s-off, i should be able to run the RUU, then flash recovery through hboot then flash supersu through recovery then all's good right? root should work fine? (don't know why i've let your comment above hit my confused button, but it did :confused: )

i'll probably circle back and flash deodex rom at some point, but i like experiencing the natural glory for a couple days before i start going nuts on a fresh update :D
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] litlepyro:
Captain, Have you been able to successfully change your PRL?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Captain_Throwback:
Yes, but only after an RUU back to 3.17. Can't do it on the new update.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] lreyes:
No don't do the RUU you'll be stuck there until a new S-OFF Method comes in place. Which it won't happen because its the users fault for doing the RUU. Just use captains Rom right here. In the thread. Just remember READ THE OP!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Captain_Throwback:
Running an RUU won't change security status. It actually might be a good thing to make sure all the necessary firmware gets flashed properly, since there are still some issues I can't explain (flashlight, data for some).
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] lreyes:
oh. I thought that it changes because the RUU resets/reflashes everything.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Magnum_Enforcer:
Nope.

man this rom with the sense5toolbox is on fire! im not just saying this, but the rom is lighting fast and snappy. Much faster than before the firmware update. Every phone is different though i guess, all i know is im lovin' it
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] AarSyl:
Keep in mind that 4.3 is a different beast than 4.2. Also, this rom was built for this phone, and not ported over. Naturally, it should be faster.

I have to agree. This thing is speedy quick. Up until this rom, the fastest roms my phone ran were the Kit Kat roms, but those aren't ready for primetime yet. I even have my HTC Camera back which I missed while running on AOSP.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] memekmek:
Yeah I almost forgot that a chugging phone and waiting for things to appear on my screen was not normal. And who knows, maybe a cleared internal sd card also gave this phone a new life too. I still need to re-unlock the bootloader eventually.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] nfinitefx45:
I have updated my prl without issue, It may be one of my edits on the default.xml

Anyone using my default.xml that i had posted , try to update your prl and see if it works...

Thanks
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Magnum_Enforcer:
Are you saying you were able to change your PRL manually? I believe that was what someone was asking when Captain replied. That's been disabled on this update, although the ability to update it in the settings menu is there and works fine.

So it sounds like now there is, again, an update to partitions. Cap'n, you said slimkat and beanstalk were working with new partitions, did you mean partitions from last week, or latest partitions from yesterday, or which ever day?

Thanks mass for all you do.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Captain_Throwback:
I don't understand. Are you saying something else was changed with this update?

No. Fin nailed it, as usual. I was confused from reading as to whether the latest release had another partition redistribution.

As best we can tell so far, nothing. The RUU package itself offered Windows 8 support for .3 but that's about it.

Unless I'm blind, the updated OP (#3 post) no longer lists it as a bug, nor is there a download link for the fix.

I am running the deodexed version and it was giving me issues. There's an apk within the first 5 pages that I downloaded and replaced the original via root explorer. Works great now
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Captain_Throwback:
There should be no Gallery FC issue on the new base. I confirmed this myself. Which version are you on?

Cap'n, thanks very much for your time and contributions. Sincere thanks.

I was reading the last thirty pages of the thread and saw that at least one person had a dark/inverted settings (not the TouchWiz settings confusion).

Is there a way to invert (white font on black background) in this Sense 5 iteration?

Any help or info would be greatly appreciated.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Blazin Chaos:
Hey Capt, I read in the Sense 5.5 thread that you forced your phone to roam successfully. Is this possible on this ROM? I already applied the changes to the default.xml file for the data roaming and selected "All Networks", but now I haven't noticed that my phone will roam at all. For making calls, particularly.

I wanted to test and force my phone to roam if possible.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Captain_Throwback:
You have the app "Roam Control"?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] dsEVOlve:
Before I RUU to try and fix my data issues I want to make sure I've got this right because it seems too simple.

1. RUU back to stock, no custom recovery ,unrooted. Security status (i.e. S-off) will be unaffected.

2. Flash TWRP via bootloader (as PJ75IMG.zip) or fastboot. If I choose fastboot I will need to unlock again.

3. Flash rooted ROM and/or SuperSU

Correct?

Nevermind, just saw this

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=50457406
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Blazin Chaos:
Unfortunately, I don't. I just tried to download it, but the Roam Control website is kinda weird. I knew that Google had pulled that app from the Market before so I didn't know that it was still around.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] memekmek:
does anyone have a write up for turning off camera shutter sound?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Captain_Throwback:
I can do it, but it MUST be done on a clean flash.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] memekmek:
I owe you a thanks, i already used my daily 8 on you.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Captain_Throwback:
Enabling option to disable Shutter Sound

To disable shutter sound, the following options need to be changed:

In /system/customize/CID/default.xml, the item "is_force_shutter_sound" needs to be changed from true to false.

<category name="HTCCamera">
<item name="is_force_shutter_sound">false</item>

Then, in the build.prop, the option "ro.camera.sound.forced" will control whether the option appears in the Camera app. Changing the value to 0 will enable the option, as seen below.

ro.camera.sound.forced=0

The issue is that the default.xml in the CID folder only gets parsed on first boot, so once it's set, it's set. Thus the change needs to be made on prior to first boot.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Captain_Throwback:
By the way, it does appear that the firmware slightly changed with this new RUU update. There were actually some bin and lib updates as well (I didn't compare the apps). So I recommend either running the full RUU or at the very least updating your firmware using the latest package from the first page. Doing the RUU would be more thorough, though, especially if you were previously having data issues.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] baknblack:
Will the bootloader lock if I flash the firmware again?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Captain_Throwback:
I honestly don't know. Mine has never locked.

Also, if you have anything important on /data/media (emulated storage), you should copy it to your external SD or backup to your computer, because storage will likely get formatted again.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] SilverZero:
I'm going to do the RUU just to get everything ship-shape, unless you can think of any drawbacks? I've been on the .1 version of this ROM and firmware, no data issues, but I'm also test-driving chubbz' 5.5 and the newer AOSP ROMs today. I was going to flash the .3 firmware and .3 ROM from post #3, but it sounds like you are sort of recommending the RUU as a cleaner update? I don't mind starting from scratch, but I do want to save download and flash time if I can. :)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Captain_Throwback:
Yeah, the RUU will give you a nice clean slate to start from. That's why I recommend it, especially with a change of this magnitude (from 4.1.2 to 4.3 & storage changes). My firmware was more of a quick and dirty method to get it out to the masses before the official dropped.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] AarSyl:
I'm been considering to run the RUU, but you just confirmed it for me.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] rodohmes:
Me too.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jmcamz2899:
RUU first is the route i went, now im installing CAPS deodexed version.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Skid71:
I'm not having any success flashing the horitzontal eqs/roaming fix in Post #3. TWRP just gives me a "Failed" message.

Besides the probability of a bad download, what other things can I troubleshoot? My hboot was 1.12.2222 (lazy panda s-off) before flashing CT's posted firmware/deodex.

Thoughts or suggestions?

Thanks
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Captain_Throwback:
What exactly are you trying to flash? It sounds like you're trying to flash something that isn't flashable.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Blazin Chaos:
The OP has the new firmware and TWRP combined in a zip to be flashed all at once. I'm going to take the plunge and do the RUU. After doing the RUU, will flashing this combined zip be a redundancy with the firmware part of the zip or is there a TWRP only zip that I'm missing?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Captain_Throwback:
You only need TWRP. You can use the previous one (the links are still there).

EDIT: I moved them to make it easier to see.

Edit: Weird, it's an .apk but downloads as a zip. Using the phone, sorry for the dumba$$ moment.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] IM0001:
So looking at the Rom and RUU, is this THE final release or just getting dang close to it?

I am guessing the "test" releases may be similar to the ones I was doing for HTC back when the first JB releases were about to drop. However these ones are 10X better than the JB update in both performance, and changes.

The reported Beats issue is sort of a letdown, but the rest of the rom continues to be exponentially better than anything based on 4.1.2.

I do want to try an ASOP rom with this partition layout sometime soon as well.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] arcanecho:
Were there any additional steps you performed after flashing to get LTE working?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Rammv:
Captain did the ruu and it did relock my bootloader , but still s-off. Just an update.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] SilverZero:
Same thing happened when we all installed the first version of this ROM (or the firmware anyway) so I'm assuming the RUU re-installs the new HBOOT. Did it reboot twice? I remember that from when I did the firmware flash, so it must have done the HBOOT, rebooted, then upgraded the firmware.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] flewpastu:
i searched i really did and thought i saw it in one of the threads but pretty sure i can rename the firmware/twrp file accordingly and flash thru bootloader and then flash deodex thru twrp and then SU and etc etc

Nope. Try the self activation discussed earlier in the thread or update profile/PRL

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] drumwizard:
See I'm kinda at a crossroad here. My phone is working great to my liking, haven't had any probs with my data after I turned off the sleep mode in power settings. So my question is, is running the ruu really going to benefit me much?

Like I seen captain mention that it had a couple libs and stuff updated, but is it worth going through having to get everything unlocked, flashed, and setup again?

Can I just update the firmware through the PJ75IMG.zip file without ruuing?

If yes, after updating the firmware only, will i have to reflash the Rom or just boot back into android like normal?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] nick1313:
Hahahaha!! Oh man...brings back some memories.

Thanks as always captain. Check your PM
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] AarSyl:
Not trying to sound like a here or anything, but it is your choice. If your phone is running to your liking, the leave it alone. It doesnt hu4t to run the RUU, especially if you are S-Off. You only have to find the bootloader flashable TWRP, and you can restore everything back to the way it was.

And a word of advice for those who don't want to set up their Sense folders every time that you reflash, simply backup HTC Sense 5.4. It will save the setup of your home screen and your app drawer. You only have to set up time widgets again.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Captain_Throwback:
You'll have to wipe and reflash, though you should be able to restore your data.
