You actually don't have to have S-OFF to get this to work. I have never been able to get that unlocked on my device, because I updated to the new partition table, and I've never seen a successful way to get S-OFF from 2.10+. Anyway, what I do is flash like normal, then I extract the boot.img from the .zip and then run "fastboot flash boot boot.img" under fastboot, and you're gold.

Thanks for the update. You get a gold star for being the first Jewel 5.1 builder.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] JohnCorleone:
So is anyone anyone up and running this yet? If so, how is it? I really like the Pacman build as well as DU but DU keeps locking up on me as I get almost all of my apps installed... Especially themes. Greatly appreciate the continued new builds though!:thumbup::thumbup:

I have to download CM12.1 ASAP! I have been running the latest CM12 nightly and it has been working well along with the builds from this dev!

On a side note, I read that Spirit FM Radio 1 stopped working after KitKat and that the new Spirit FM 2 broke on this device with the kernel after CM11 but I decided to try it anyway and its working just fine! Most Nexus, Samsung, Motorola, etc devices have the hardware disabled but the good old Evo 4G LTE is still going strong!

Oh, I am running the Beta version of Djdarkknight's BlakKat theme...not sure if its public yet but best bet is to check Team Blackout site or inverted/transparent apps app:D:thumbup::thumbup:

I've been running it for a couple of days.

GOOD

I haven't seen any FC issues, which is very good.

Data works fine, and cell strength seems to be normal.

I also like being able to use the new Gapps package, which is more up to date, with 5.1. That's not particular to this ROM, though.

BAD

I have had random reboots every few hours with this.

I'm pretty confident that it's not showing the proper cell strength, because it lists no bars, although it seems normal.

I couldn't get the Gmail widget to work with this. I had to resort to using the stock email app, which isn't nearly as nice.

At the end of the day, this ROM isn't ready to replace the solid 5.0 build yet. I wouldn't recommend it for a daily driver. But hey, this is really early in the game. In a couple of weeks or in a month, things will probably be right as rain.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] JohnCorleone:
Thanks for the feedback! I am grateful that fizbanrapper is compiling these different Lollipop ROMs because they are running exceptionally well on this device.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ocarinaz64:
Actually, I don't know what's going on recently, but I can't get mobile data to work on ANY recent builds (Cyanogenmod, LiquidSmooth, PacRom). Not even my own AICP builds anymore. I don't know if there is a new setting that I need to fiddle with, or what. Nobody else seems to be having this problem. This CM 12.1 build is the only new one that works for me now. Otherwise, I have to go back to my AICP build from several weeks ago. Has anyone else experienced this? Know how to fix it? I use Ting (Sprint) network.

EDIT

I found the answer by [MENTION=5676253]fizbanrapper[/MENTION]! Now I think I'm gold.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] JohnCorleone:
Yeah, I switched to T-Mobile (I was on Sprint and T-Mobile for a while) so my Jewel, Sprint Galaxy Nexus and Nexus S 4G are all WiFi only devices so if WiFi works, I am good. In fact, the WiFi range on this build is much greater than my HTC One M7 on T-Mobile.

I guess its a moot point because next week I am ordering either the SIM unlocked Nexus 6 or the SIM unlocked M9 directly from Motorola or HTC. I am still trying to decide which. My M7 is SIM unlocked as well but that only helps those on GSM.

If anyone is hurting for a Sprint device, I have a few older ones but they are in great shape...especially this Jewel! Its like a new device since flashing Lollipop

I you want to get rid of your phones, you should list them on Swappa.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] fizbanrapper:
Glad it helped! Ting runs on GSM now too, if you're interested. I got an AT&T M8 running on T-Mobile's network, but still with Ting and same pricing. APN's rarely seem to matter on GSM Ting.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] whbisondtr:
I ran this for a couple days and only issues I had was that poweramp and mx player kept freezing up and fc'ing It's very fast and smooth otherwise and had no issues with data or reboots.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ocarinaz64:
So I guess that I wrongly assumed that CM was already rolling out 12.1 nightlies for the Jewel. But I checked their Jewel downloads page, and it still says "12", not "12.1". So is that a typo, and CM is still using 12.1, or are they not doing nightly 12.1 builds? If people want this ROM updated, I could try my hand at it.

EDIT - I'm trying my hand at it. Squashing through build errors now.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] fizbanrapper:
So sorry guys. I just assumed cm would have picked up nightly builds a few weeks ago.

Ocarinaz has been doing a hell of a job picking up the slack for the roms I used to build.

Any interest in becoming an official maintainer for SOKP jewel?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ocarinaz64:
No worries. If you don't have the time, and if you aren't even using the device, it's nothing to be bashful about leaving behind.

What all would be entailed in an "official maintainer"? I'm willing to keep building it, it's easy enough. And I can keep up my XDA thread. But if I have to register in a million places, I might just rather stick to my unofficial builds and call it quits.

I did get a CM12.1 build off though. It wasn't that hard. Enjoy!

CM-12.1-Jewel-Files

FYI - I have been using this since last night. I noticed a couple of FCs when it came to putting my gadgets where I wanted them to be the first time, but after that I haven't had problems. It seems to be a good build overall.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ocarinaz64:
I just rebuilt CM 12.1 from scratch. It built start to finish without even one error. It means that if you like CM, you should update to the newest one. But it also means that I would wager a fair bet that CM might start nightlies for Jewel soon.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] dangle79:
I've managed to stay happy on the official 12 builds so far. Down side is I'm pretty established on it. So I have that nag in the back of my mind to try dirty flashing to 12.1 against my better judgement. Lol
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ocarinaz64:
I don't know if I should keep making new posts for every new build, but *bump*, I got one off again. And while I don't recommend dirty flashing over 12.0, I would say it's worth a go.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] dangle79:
Oh yeah, purely for science. And after making a good backup
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] KingFatty:
Any idea how this ROM compares to the others, when it comes to system resource usage? I know that different ROMs have different features/customizations, but does one ROM have a reputation for being really light with system resources, or perhaps a ROM has a reputation for being a system hog?

Ultimately I think it doesn't matter because you have the flexibility to turn off any features you don't want, and recover resource usage that way. But wanted to see your thoughts.

What led me to this question is I previously had issues with trying to run Google Maps Navigation at the same time as my podcasting application over bluetooth while driving (using the PAC Rom). However, with the most recent version of Maps that just came out, I no longer have this issue and can run both fine while driving, so maybe it was just a maps issue and not a low memory issue. But I wonder if CM would use less memory overall compared to a rom like PAC or the others.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ocarinaz64:
I would bet that Slim should be the lightest and easiest to run. Cyanogenmod should be somewhere more in the middle, and AICP and Pac-Man run a little heavier. That said, RAM usage shouldn't be causing you problems. If using less of your RAM fixes an issue, it sounds like you're treating a symptom, not a problem. In the end, there are a lot of variables involved when comparing these ROMs, because the 5.1 sources are still hit-and-miss. There are several others that I haven't even been able to build yet. The only way to know for sure is to give them each a test yourself to see what you like the best. After all, there aren't that many to choose from anyway.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] dangle79:
By the way, I did try a dirty flash over 12 (along with updated gapps) and it seemed to work alright save for one thing. MMS wouldn't download at all, almost seemed to not even try, just instantly said couldn't download. Granted, I had the same problem with 12 when it first came along, so it may just be a matter of code maturity. I don't think I was ever able to USSR stock messaging on 12 for that matter, grayed out send button thing.

Aside from that, it ran and ran smooth and FAST! Love the work and support, you rock!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ocarinaz64:
MMS should work fine, including both sending & receiving photos. I think that's what you're talking about... If you mean sending texts, that should work, too. So if it's not working on yours, you need to check your APN settings and/or do a proper wipe and flash the way you should. Everything works on the newest build. I haven't had a random reboot even.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] dangle79:
Oh yeah I attribute it to the dirty flash completely. But like I said, it was for science, and what good is science if you don't share your results :D
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ocarinaz64:
Next question is: did you test your hypothesis three times?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] dangle79:
Lol, no. This is lazy science, no empirical methods up in here! Getting stuff cleaned up to prep for a clean flash though
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ocarinaz64:
I got another weekly build posted. I plan on doing weeklies for CM, Pac-Man, AICP, and Slim for the time being. I may or may not notify you, but you can always check for the files on either basketbuild or androidfilehost.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] dangle79:
What device tree are you using to build with, if I may inquire? I've been tinkering again :victory:
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ocarinaz64:
If you mean for CM, it's https://github.com/cyanogenmod/android_device_htc_jewel/tree/cm-12.1, but if you mean for the other ROMs, some of them differ. But to make things easier, CM, AICP, and Pac-Man all have the proper configurations already loaded, so you just have to execute their "brunch jewel" command, and it will pull it all in for you properly. For AICP, you'll want to replace their preconfigured kernel with CM's.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] dangle79:
Gotcha. Didn't know if you were porting yourself and had a base besides cm, now I'm remembering you picked a few of them up after the other guys left
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ocarinaz64:
I don't port anything. I make clean builds from source. My goal in helping to set up the easy "brunch jewel" commands was that I hoped to encourage other devs to try their hand at it. The process is straightforward now. But again, it's not a huge deal for me at this point to compile new builds that I already have setup. I have one long command that I can run and just go to bed.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] dangle79:
Tried flashing 6-8 build, twice. Clean even. No bootsky :(

Sat at the HTC screen with the friendly red message on it for probably five minutes at the longest I waited. Tried restoring boot image from my cm12 backup in case it was that, figured at worst I'd get a boot loop out of that, but same result. Doesn't even get warm like it's chewing on anything. Download was good, passed hash check and all. Weird.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ocarinaz64:
Thanks for the feedback. I'm cooking up a new ROM as I type. If I have time, I'll try to give it a go. Otherwise, you can always revert to the 5/29 build.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ocarinaz64:
Update: This ROM isn't building usable ROMs at the moment. And I'm not real good at figuring that sort of thing out. We're at the mercy of the Cyanogenmod team at this point.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] dangle79:
I got a working build of 5.1.1, but it seems to suffer the camera/gallery glitch where it only works once in between reboots. I used your build notes, updated jewel.XML to reference the 12.1 branches. Actual build only ran an hour + 33 minutes.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ocarinaz64:
I haven't tried to build this one for a while now. I don't know why all of a sudden things started going wrong. Usually Cyanogenmod was about the most stable and easy to build out there. I think our best bet would be to just stick to ROMs that we know are going to work for the time being, and check back periodically to see if CM is going to build for us. For the time being, I have been very impressed with Pac-Man. That's especially so because their servers are building for us a new update every week.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] fizbanrapper:
So is camera jacked up on CM still? How long has this been a thing? Anyone have a log? Has the issue been reported in jira?

I'll message Ethan myself, if that's what's necessary. I have a few teams I could run this by if I had a log. Maybe I'll dust off my jewel and flash it.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] dangle79:
Was still there last time I ran a build. But that was back on 7/9. Haven't gotten around to running another since.

Edit:

Come to think of it. I should probably run another build to check it out if only to get myself stagefright-safe. I'll kick one off and report back
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] dangle79:
Ran a build last night and tried it today. Didn't get into much else but camera seems fixed for me. Was in and out of camera and gallery, snapped some pics, repeated. Both kept working each iteration. I can pm you my dropbox link if you want to try it. I don't have a file host account anywhere else.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ocarinaz64:
I've got a build that's compiling right now. I'll post it with my previous files for people to try. It's on androidfilehost, along with the other ROMs I've got.

EDIT - It's posted. I haven't even tried to flash it myself, but it should be gold.

EDIT #2 - That build was NOT gold... I just did a "brunch jewel" and let the system set it all up for me, but then it didn't work. I checked over the files and found that it was missing the proprietary blobs in the manifest.xml. I'll post the new build ASAP--probably by the time you read this.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] bpc4209:
Camera worked for about 12 hours then would never start again even with reboot.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ocarinaz64:
Another update posted. I haven't tested it. I just can't keep testing all the ROMs I'm pushing out here. Let us know if there are issues.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] bpc4209:
Everything is working after clean install. Stock music player is a little wonky, it leaves the music icon in the taskbar even when closed then pops up again randomly.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ocarinaz64:
I'll agree with that. Eleven is a little funny, and has been for a while. What I always have to do is close it out of my task bar manually.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] JohnCorleone:
Does anyone have what I thought was going to be the last official update of CM12 for this device (I think it was 4/7 or 4/9) laying around? All of these new builds let me get all set up then the screen goes black and I end up with random reboots. I had a CM12 build that was perfect for months and I accidentally deleted it and my sd card got corrupted so I lost my backup. The CM site only keeps the last 50 builds and the older ones give an error 404 message anyway...plus they don't go back far enough. If you do, thanks in advance

3/20 is the only official nightly I've still got for cm12 if that'll do

If it doesn't constantly get your phone hot and randomly reboot, YES PLEASE! I have even tried the latest official builds from CM 8/23 was the last I tried and as soon as I get all set up everything disappears except the status bar...then the reboots start so if I could get a copy that would be great, thanks!

I should have mentioned that it's not these particular builds of the ROM. I have tried all of the new ones and my phone goes nuts! Like I stated earlier, even the new official builds go crazy which is a shame because of all of the built in APN options...I can get this phone active again on another carrier without a big project changing APNs

I actually found the 4/7 unofficial build in oscarinaz64's thread and with the Xposed Sensify module I have installed the M9 camera and gallery apps, the M9 music player and a few others but I will definitely be looking out for your PM of that official build. I had to lose some of the gapps because the phone was getting warm with the M9 apps also installed but I think I have things settled down now. Thanks in advance!

A few screenshots of CM12 with Sense 7 theme and M9 apps added...be careful about adding too many all at once. I think the phone mayvget warm and reboot due to lack of RAM space. I uninstalled some of the gapps I don't use but the device is eerily similar to my M9 now...lol

No APN specified on the device? Error can't send MMS?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ocarinaz64:
Sorry I'm only just now getting back to you. If your stock camera doesn't work, try Google Camera instead. That's what I always use. As for APN issues, that's another story. It will depend on your carrier as to what you need to do. I suggest you look into the Settings > Mobile Networks > Acces Point Names.

You should obviously pick the APN that is for your carrier. Also, you can delete any APNs in there that are not for your carrier. Sometimes that helps the system figure out what to do, too. Or, if you're on Ting like me, you need to go into the Sprint profile and replace anything that says n.t.ispsn and replace it with "n.t8.ispsn". You also need to replace the mms with http://mms.plspictures.com.

Running a build of this from 10/11 that's darn stable. Only work I've seen is occasionally the phone process will bounce and cone back, but it's literally a two second bounce. Had camera issue briefly when bouncing between backups, but clearing data from camera app and rebooting cleared that seemingly for good.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] benahlquist:
[Probably] A dumb question, where did you find a 10/11 build? I'm seeing Ocarina's latest as 09/24.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] benahlquist:
Nice work! I'd love to give it a spin if you don't mind sharing.

I have had a mix of trouble with the 9/24 build; ran into both the camera issue and MMS issue. After several install run-throughs, I'm up and running, although the camera crashes every so often requiring a reboot to get it back. That being said, it's running like a dream, and the random camera glitches so far haven't bothered me too much.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] zackhow:
So it has been a long time since I updated cm. Currently on 10.2. What is the new partition format? Is there something special I need to do before flashing?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] fizbanrapper:

You'll need that
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] kjcmusic17:
So I just updated to the new partition tables, TWRP 2.8.7.0, and anytime I flash this or any other AOSP ROM, I get a constant bootloop. I updated via the RUU because the PJ75IMG method wouldn't work for me for some reason. I re-unlocked my bootloader, but any rom aside from the stock one puts me in bootloop. I'm still S-Off, also.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ocarinaz64:
Did you wait an obscene amount of time on reboot? Like 5 minutes or more? Also, you can try to shut the phone off during the first bootup, and get it restarted, and sometimes that will push it through the process. Aside from that, just make sure you're doing a clean flash after you erase cache / dalvik / system / data.

---------- Post added at 07:15 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:11 AM ----------

I know that CM resisted the new partition layout, but I think now the code actually supports either one. I don't think the new update is essential to getting the newer ROMs to flash, but it does give you some nice updates. And I do like the new layout. You will need the newest TWRP, though.

---------- Post added at 07:20 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:15 AM ----------

First, do you have any newer builds to share? Second, if you're looking for hosting space, you can either signup for an AndroidFileHost account, or one similar. I'm also willing to host it myself along with my other files, if you like.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] kjcmusic17:
I did. I waited roughly 10 minutes. Sometimes, I'll get as far as updating apps x of y, per typical dalvik/cache wipe, but after it finishes it hangs on "starting apps." If I restart during this, I never get past the boot animation again. I wipe all the necessary partitions evertime I flash.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ocarinaz64:
Now that I'm thinking about it, it's usually safer to do an install of the new ROM, then boot it up, then go back in and flash gapps. Sometimes your gapps can cause trouble in the boot process on initial startup. If you're doing all that, then I'm really not sure what else to check.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] kjcmusic17:
I have tried with and without gapps. My phone is just borked lol
