I have NOT experience that issue with google play but yes I can confirm there are data problems, when trying to connect to LTE. The source has not been updated in weeks now by the beanstalk author but as soon as I see something that might make a differnece ill rebuild.

https://github.com/scotthartbti?tab=repositories

source link if you would like to watch for updates.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ducktard13:
Play services issues went away with update from play store.

Data issues are friggin terrible!

Edit: additional info. I dirty flashed 'upgrade' versions each step of the way. My phone process now crashes when someone calls me! Any ideas?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jeepers128:
When I went to 285 from 270 I was unable to get text messages. Nand back to 270 and it works fine. 278 did this also to me.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] fizbanrapper:
I know there are resources on xda about learning to compile a ROM, but are there any resources specifically for this device?

There are a lot of good ROMs out there (like this one) that haven't had updates in months because of people moving to new devices, so I'd like to try doing it myself. The only thing standing between me and compiling is a mountain of ignorance.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Captain_Throwback:
The one most people started with is this one: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Build_for_jewel
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] fizbanrapper:
Thanks!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ocarinaz64:
A couple of others had asked me the same question so made a guide myself for the Jewel on my Google Drive. Check it out. But yes, the guide posted by CaptinThrowback is a good guide, but there are a couple of things that I do differently.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] cirehawk:
I assume this thread is dead, but I just tried this out this morning. Everything good so far except the LTE issue that was mentioned. It connects, but no data passes. That's pretty important to me so hopefully there is a resolution to it. If not I will keep looking for alternatives, which is too bad because I really like this so far.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] dangle79:
lte is something of an elusive beast on aosp for this device i'm afraid. i generally keep it turned off myself just because i don't need it sucking up all that power when i'm not using it. suits my purposes that way because what tends to happen is it'll connect and work fine for a while after i turn it on and then either randomly disconnect back to 3g or just stop passing data. so i turn it on long enough to transfer/download whatever it is then turn it off again until next time.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] cirehawk:
Thanks, but that puts me in a bit of a predicament. I'm generally an HTC Sense person. I've been running Sense 5-4.3 Y20 for a while, but the Wi-Fi would constantly drop out and stop passing data (even though it still showed connected). It got so annoying that I finally started playing around with AOSP Roms a couple days ago. Tried this one yesterday and really like it, except now instead of intermittent Wi-Fi, it's intermittent LTE. A rock and a hard place comes to mind. lol Given the two choices though, I can deal with intermittent LTE more so than intermittent Wi-Fi since I'm on Wi-Fi a majority of the time. Sprint's LTE is sparse in my area anyway, so I guess that makes it even less of a big deal.

I guess the ultimate solution is to move on to a new phone, but I've been trying to hold off doing that. My Sprint contract ended on August 4th, and I've grown tired of their crappy network. I plan to change carriers, but I'm taking my time to really check out which carrier/plan I will ultimately go with.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Captain_Throwback:
Have you tried Sense 5.5? I don't recall having any such issue with that ROM.

And I'm pretty sure I'd know if there was an issue like that since that's the ROM I put on my wife's phone.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] cirehawk:
I did try Novitious, but it seemed a bit laggy on my phone. Also, Sense seemed to reload when exiting apps a bit too much for my liking. Of course that was before I got into the boot loop a couple days ago and had to RUU. Maybe starting fresh like that will make it run better on my phone. Or maybe I'll see what other Sense 5.5 Roms are available.

Edit: I forgot that I also tried Viper briefly. I really liked the flexibilty of Viper, but it didn't like my phone either. Lagginess, phone getting hot, etc. But I may try it again as well since I did the fresh RUU.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Captain_Throwback:
What about the original Sense 5.5 port from which those were based? My wife does occasionally complain about lag, but no more than on stock. I think the device it just getting old.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] cirehawk:
Hadn't tried that one. I'll find it and give it a try. Thanks again. By the way, what phone are you on?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Captain_Throwback:
M8 is my main device, but all my devices have service. See my signature for details.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] cirehawk:
Ah, didn't even notice you ranked them in order. I really like the M8, but it's just too big for my taste. I'm keeping my eye on the HTC One Mini 2. Most of the features of the M8 in a smaller form factor.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] fizbanrapper:
If my memory is right, I think Novitious caps the CPU frequency at a rate below what the device can run. You can change this in kernel tweaker which will help. Sense is still on the slow side, but it helps a bit.

There are other good AOSP ROMs out there too. BeanStalk hasn't been updated for this device for quite a while.

I'm going to try to make a current build of BeanStalk, but it will be my first ROM, so I'm expecting it's probably going to be months until I have a realistic chance of generating a useful copy.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] lreyes:
Its not that hard actually..you just need a a Linux OS like Ubuntu and know how to follow instructions and use your brain ;) once you get the hang of it you'll do just fine. If you need help with beanstalk or any other AOSP just ask me.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] fizbanrapper:
I appreciate that. I'll definitely need it.

Seems like you almost have to start out building CM if you want to learn what there is to know and have what you need to build something line BeanStalk. So that's what I'm starting out with. Once I get a working CM, then I'll try BeanStalk.

I'm running Ubuntu 14 through VirtualBox on a Windows 7 machine. It's done with the repo sync, but I get errors after that when I try breakfast. I'm going to try a few more things tonight, but if I can't get it, I'll let you know.

My time line is so far out because my Linux experience can be measured in weeks rather than years, and my career keeps me quite busy (as I'm sure it does for most of us).

Ultimately I'd like to try building kernels, using linaro, and to get nightly builds going for some of the more popular ROMs, but that's obviously an entirely different beast.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] cirehawk:
Linux (PCLinuxOS) has been my primary OS (at home at least) for years. Mind if I take you up on that offer too?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] lreyes:
Hey I'm glad to help anyone. I'll show you guys the right path by building CM11 and then adding your favorite features from Roms by Cherry picking.

Read about it in the official CyanogenMod Wiki. It tells you everything you'd need to know about making a ROM from source.

http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Build_for_jewel

And its pretty much the same for building any other ROM... My knowledge just expands on building the ROM. I honestly don't know everything to cherry picking. Which you might have to do to get the ROM to load up on the New Partition Layout. I'm not exactly sure if its a cherry pick or not but you'd ask Captain Throwback about the NPL as I've only compiled Roms (BeanStalk/Evervolv/CM) for the Old Partition Layout.

Building Roms can be really fun if you got the time for it.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Captain_Throwback:
CM11 builds with new layout by default now, so no cherrypicking needed.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ocarinaz64:
I made a guide for first timers as well. It's in my signature under CM11. It has helped a couple of people in the past.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] fizbanrapper:
How do you know if breakfast was a complete success? It appears to have run without issue, but I don't know how I'm supposed to be sure if that.

How do I troubleshoot brunch? It took an eternity and the files in "out" don't look complete. Is brunch supposed to end with the creation of a zip file?

A lot of the guides imply that this must be the case when they say that the final step is to run brunch for your device - end guide... but that's not what I'm getting.

Is it normal for brunch to take longer than a repo sync?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Captain_Throwback:
Brunch is what compiles the ROM, so yes, it'll take a while, especially on a slow machine.

You'll know breakfast worked because it'll display the output parameters of the build. You'll know brunch completed successfully if it tells you that the build is complete along with the name of the completed zip file.

EDIT: In the attached screenshot, the top portion shows the end of the brunch output with a successfully completed build (for Jewel, it'll obviously say jewel in the filename). The bottom portion shows what the output of breakfast should be, once all dependencies have been retrieved.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] wallie71:
Tried installing this after being on a sense 5 rom for a while now. It boots into the beanstalk screen and doesn't go past that. Anyone can help me with this? Is it a recovery issue? I used twrp v2.6.3.1b
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Captain_Throwback:
Update your TWRP.

NEWEST Beanstalk 4.4.4050

Newest Beanstalk for jewel: Beanstalk 4.4.4050 Enjoy! :cowboy:
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] cirehawk:
I have a question. What is the biggest factor in how widgets align on home screens? Is it DPI, grid size, or a combination of both? Here is why I ask. On Sense Rom's, the HTC widgets (and others) line up nice and symmetrical. For instance, if I have the standard HTC clock widget on the top portion of the screen and a row of app icons (or folders) along the bottom of the screen, adding for instance their agenda widget would fit proportionally between them. When I'm running an AOSP rom, the widgets don't seem to fit proportionally (or I haven't figured out how to do it).
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ocarinaz64:
It ought to be a combination of the DPI and the launcher you use. I think that DPI is a bigger factor, if I'm not mistaken, but different launchers also have options for how your icons and widgets fit on the screen. If you want to try and fit more stuff on the same screen, try playing with your DPI and see what effect it has. Also, check your launcher options as far as its rules for stretching and tile arrangements. The other option is to try different launchers.

Newest version has cm theme engine enabled and functioning for the first time.

This is my first successful build (other than a cm11 practice build). CM kernel and device tree. If something's broken, feel free to tell me about it, but I probably won't have a clue how to fix it.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] NaterTots:
I'm not sure why you guys don't want to use hangouts. It works great and combines my gchat and mms into one place. Love it. If you really want to use something else try 8sms. I've read good things about that one.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] numel007:
Seconded. Hangouts is awesome, and they fixed the MMS issue finally. I guess it's not needed unless you actually use gchat though.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Jayrot:
Is anyone else "bluetooth settings" force close? I can't keep a connection with my car's bluetooth. The process FCs and then it disconnects, reconnects, then keeps repeating. Everything was working find on 4.3 Beanstalk before.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] NaterTots:
Did you full wipe between the two Roms? You need to do factory reset and then also system. I think there was Bluetooth changes for 4.4

It pairs up with my home receiver.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] InSaNeO1488:
When will we be seeing an update for this rom I'm looking forward to it. This is my favorite so far
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] GoblinZ:
BeanStalk Build 4.4.247

http://d-h.st/QJL

-updated source

-added tether fix (thank you Haus_!)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] InSaNeO1488:
Thanks bro keep up the good work, is there anyway that u can look into the mic issue, when I make a call with headphones with mic the person can hear me for a few mins then the mic stops working completely, btw I tried the headphones on another device and they work fine
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] NaterTots:
That's most likely a CM issue. It is a problem with wired headphone mics across all of their devices.

Get a Bluetooth earpiece. ;)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] InSaNeO1488:
Lol well I wish they would fix it
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mcwups1:
Best build on the market for me right now!

Thanks so much for giving us this little gem!

DPI settings working well on latest build, and pie works well too.

Great ROM!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] InSaNeO1488:
I haven't messed with the DPI settings, I'll have to look it up and see what it's about, also my favorite rom for the jewel
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] GoblinZ:
InSaNeO actualy gave me the kick to put the update ;)

Can you guys test the tethering feature? I added that fix from Haus_ omni gerrit push wanted to see if it fixed ours as well.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] InSaNeO1488:
I won't be able to test until Saturday but I will, thanks for the recognition but I only have you the kick cause this is the best rom I've used so far, I really dig the build prop and init d. Mods, my only thing with cm is the microphone issue but I don't like sense based roms, so I can deal with it, keep up the good work
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mcwups1:
Any issues with data? Do I have to have it on in order to send SMS?

I can't seem to send them. Should I use Hangouts instead?

Thanks for the input.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] thewind730:
Is there anyway to up the MMS size limit it won't let me send something that's barely over 1mb

---------- Post added at 11:01 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:59 AM ----------

I can send SMS without data being on using the stock messenger app

---------- Post added at 11:02 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:01 AM ----------

And my data connection has been really solid so far
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] InSaNeO1488:
Data works fine on this rom no issues here
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] InSaNeO1488:
Ok so I tested the inline mic with Haus_ homemade omni rom, same issue, mic breaks up bad and goes in and out while talking
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] thewind730:
So nobody knows what to change to be able to send bigger than 1mb mms ? Search suck in here and I couldn't even find anything on Google :(
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] GoblinZ:
The limits are set by overlays during compile.

you COULD try setting

<boolean name="checked_message_limits" value="true" />

to

<boolean name="checked_message_limits" value="false" />

in your

/data/data/com.android.mms/shared_prefs/com.android.mms_preferences.xml

Dont know if it will work but it suggests it will turn off the check.

There is this other crazy solution called dropbox that you may or may not concider. ;)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] thewind730:
Thanks for the reply I'll check it out and report back. And yeah I totally forgot about dB :-\

---------- Post added at 02:00 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:14 AM ----------

Well editing that file didn't work :( looks like Dropbox it is

---------- Post added at 02:07 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:00 AM ----------

After I edit the file and reboot it sticks then as soon as I try to attach something big it changes back to "true" ?? Any ideas?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] GoblinZ:
That flag was really a shot in the dark...in related news I'm going to try compiling that MMS app with larger limits in the overlay and see if that helps in the next build.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] numel007:
No idea if this will help, but try changing your permissions.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] thewind730:
That's awesome man I really appreciate it!

Interim build

Posted

http://d-h.st/6S3

I added a modified MMS limits are now 5242880bits or around 5MB...

also it looks like the lead dev put in some more tweaks and stuff but the build number stays the same *shrugs*

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] GoblinZ:
You know...8sms is free in the playstore, based on the MMS app and has settings to change filesizes.. could try that too. This experience has completely ruined the MMS app for me

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] GoblinZ:
New Partition Layout version PLEASE READ THE ENTIRE POST!!!

YOU MUST FLASH AND RUN CAPTAINTHROWBACK'S SENSE 5 4.3 UPDATE ROM BEFORE FLASHING THIS

REQUIREMENTS:

-HBOOT 2.10

-RECOVERY WITH NEW PARTITION LAYOUT

-FLASH AND BOOT INTO THE SENSE 5 4.3 ROM FIRST OR THIS WILL NOT WORK!

see captain throwback's instructions here

DOWNLOAD:

I have to say it again DO NOT FLASH THIS UNLESS YOU HAVE PERFORMED THE UPGRADE TO THE LATEST SENSE 5 4.3 upgrade! You must actually flash the rom not just the recovery. You have been warned.

http://d-h.st/pgW

What I plan to do going forward is offer two versions, the standard version and the new version. There will be no functionality differences between the two asside from the partition layout.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] InSaNeO1488:
I like having the Google now, to the left so i use the Google launcher
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mcwups1:
This is by far my favorite ROM, rest assured.

However, I'm having problems still with sending SMS. Hangouts doesn't work without a connection of some kind, and SMS shouldn't need Data to work any way.

I'm texting people and they're not getting them until I get home and am on my WiFi.

I'm downloading the newest (before the "upgrade") and will restore Bareback to update PRL and Profile, before flashing newest.

I'll see if that helps.

Has to do with messaging app....has to.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] InSaNeO1488:
That's weird i haven't had any problems like that
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mcwups1:
I sent my wife "Test" messages with the messaging app. She replied, but I never got them.

But, when I turned in data, Google Voice popped right up with all the messages.

I used to not have to use Data for texts. But, even messaging doesn't work on any.

Clean install of newest version. MD5 matched.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] GoblinZ:
It is VERY likely that the newer edits I did to MMS killed app :/ I built a copy of .249 without the new partition layout ill post here then update the op. I found that 8sms from the playstore is based on AOSP JB and has the options to change the message size that was pulled from the KitKat code.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.thinkleft.eightyeightsms.mms&hl=en

Beanstalk 4.4.249 OLD_FORMAT

http://d-h.st/bTn
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mcwups1:
I downloaded that app, and I still don't receive texts from my spouse, but she received mine.

When I turn on Data, Google voice pops up with the message, but still nothing from 8sms.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] GoblinZ:
In Google voice -> settings -> sync and notifications -> recieve text messages set to "Via the messaging app"

Also is this on a clean flash of the latest I posted .249? I know this is for receiving not sending but may help with some issues

Update: I just sent a text to wife with no data or wifi and it went through. she sent one back that said "YOU PLAY WITH YOUR PHONE TOO MUCH"
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mcwups1:
Yes, clean install of newest without new recovery.

Google Voice settings fixed it boss. Thanks!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] numel007:
Symptoms of a flasher.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mcwups1:
Does anyone know if I can edit build prop to create a screenshot delay?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] InSaNeO1488:
I had the same problem come to think of it when i activated my evo for the first time, i had to goto sprint and it was a problem on their end that was easily fixed, what I'm saying i that it might be on sprint's end, i send texts alot with no data and wifi goes through all the time.

EDIT : NM i see you fixed it :)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mcwups1:
Wow!

This is fantastic.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] almony8:
Wow, is that on the new updated partitions, or the older one?

Sent from my EVO using Xparent BlueTapatalk 2
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mcwups1:

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] almony8:
Does anyone know if tethering works with 4g in the latest update with the new partitions?

Sent from my EVO using Xparent BlueTapatalk 2
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] NaterTots:
There is no reason that it shouldn't. The partitions won't make a difference for that.

If you ask because it wasnt working on sense 4.3 that's because that was a new stock ROM.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ADM818:
Does titanium backup work for anyone on the new partition layout? It doesn't work for me.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Captain_Throwback:
Yes, it works fine.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] NaterTots:
You need to go to Preferences of TB to tell it where your backup is. Assuming of course you moved it to your SD card before flashing to Sense 4.3 since internal gets wiped.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ADM818:
Nvm It just started to work. I tried to all day yesterday but no dice, I guess it works when it wants to. For me anyways.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] SilverZero:
Quick question - any compatibility issues for GApps versions e.g. Slim GApps on this ROM? Or PA on SlimKat?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] GoblinZ:
PA gapps works well on most aosp roms. The packs are all mostly similar so there shouldn't be those kinds of issues.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] NaterTots:
The only time I'd stick to a rom developers gapps would be in the case of SlimKat since they are built to work with their "The Real Dark Slim" setting.

And you'd want those gapos to use that option in bean stalk I believe.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mcwups1:
I use the "micro" version of PA gapp.

Works great and is light weight.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] thewind730:
I'm using the slim aio gapps with the new partition ROM with no issues

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] almony8:

Sent from my EVO using Xparent BlueTapatalk 2
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] scottspa74:
Isn't there a setting for that within the hangouts app itself?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] NaterTots:
Oh I didn't understand what you meant. I don't think you can set Google voice as the default messaging app. You could use the GV if you have a GV number. Or if you wanted you could probably import the CM style messaging app and set that as default.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] numel007:
Turn on GV notifications, turn off Hangouts notifications. Make sure GV receives and sends correctly too. I hope you realize this means you'll only receive texts if you have a data connection.
