[MENTION=2836769]jrior001[/MENTION] - First of all, awesome work. Evita is one of the best devices around and I've been owning it since 2013. Its so unfortunate that Evita didnt get a partition update like Jewel got. This is simply awesome.

2 questions:

What needs to be done if we decide to switch back to a sense rom?

The 1.2 GB that is free is lost/wasted? Can that be added to the 12GB? Reason i ask is, my Evita has only 16GB, which already is pretty less considering how easy it has become to find 64GB devices.

Haha, only 1.2GB :) With 16GB in the hood, 1.2GB is like 16%

Can we utilize that 1.2GB space as well? Can it be added to /data so that its added space could be used as well.

:good:
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] jrior001:
1. Flash your old regular twrp back and wipe everything! Reformat sdcard to fat32/vfat and reflash normal build ROM.

2. If anything it would have to be mounted as a separate "internal sdcard" similar to how the old sdcard was mounted. Its possible but its messy and confusing. I was trying to keep this as clean and simple as possible.

There was also some talk of moving cache to that partition but honestly were not gaining enough to any of it all that exciting

2.

is the TWRP 2.8.7.0 EvitaX version a modified recovery from the original? i already have the regular 2.8.7.0 version installed but wondering if it would accept the 12.1 EvitaX rom?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] jrior001:
If you want to use this modified ROM, then the modified EvitaX recovery is required. It is matched to the new partition layout. This is not optional.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] thelonewolf_pav:
Hi jrior,

First of all, everything is working great! Thank you so much for your efforts!

I've two questions, though.

1. The ROM says that there is an upgrade and suggests what looks like a regular CM12.1 download. If I let it upgrade, it will bootloop, right?

2. What if I want to install another ROM using the same configuration? Would I have to rebuild the entire ROM or would it be enough to replace storage_list.xml, fstab and init.target.rc? I see that there is also a mk file there which implies that something must be built. What if I skip this step?

Thanks!
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] jrior001:
1. Yes this is a problem I can't work around, luckily my recovery won't let you flash that build.

2. Yes that ROM would need to be rebuilt. The storage.XML gets imbedded in frameworks.jar and can't just be copied ROM to ROM
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] thelonewolf_pav:
Cool, thanks man!

So, there is actually one feature (so far) that I'm missing in the PAC ROM, namely: ambient display. That is, the display would come on whenever I pass my hand over the phone. This was actually very useful for me, and battery penalty was minimal. I remember trying to cook this into some other ROM, and managed to get the options showing in the settings menu, but the thing never actually worked for me. Would you know how to add this feature?

Otherwise, it's a great ROM, everything is super smooth, zero glitches so far.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] jrior001:
We need like 3 patches for it to work... I'll try to grab them and get another 12.1 evitaX build up tom maybe.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] thelonewolf_pav:
cool! thanks!
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] jrior001:
Build is up w/ambient included. May never see that on official builds though, my patches already got rejected.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] thelonewolf_pav:
you just made my day! thanks!
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Sam3087:
Wow! Perfect. I guess there are still some loyal Evita users who would be very thankful to you. Excellent job adding this feature.

One quick question. I really miss your torched kernel. Any chances of adding support to this build?? I miss the double tap to wake feature and kernel additions.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] jrior001:
Fresh torched update now available as well. Not much added, just catch up to CM and the few ambient display required patches.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] thelonewolf_pav:
Hi jrior001,

Can I make a couple of suggestions? Alternatively, is there any source I can grab? I'd gladly do things myself instead of bothering you every time.

1. In ambient display, please set display brightness to a higher level. I can barely see anything when it wakes up.

2. I suggest setting default zram size to 250MB. This works much better for me. For example, with 130MB, if you try using google now with speech recognition, the memory overflows very quickly, and the phone slows down to a crawl.

3. I suggest using deadline or noop as the default IO scheduler. BFQ is probably the worst scheduler for our environment.

thanks!
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] jrromanow:
After a lousy moment when I couldn't figure how to get the zip files onto my Evita since the adb drivers had been wiped I noticed the "MTP device" in my Win Explorer window, which only had one folder: TWRP. Copy & paste did the job, and I'm now a very happy owner of a Marshmallow Evita! Thank You! Thank You! I could afford a new phone, but I've loved the look & feel of this one for 3 years and saw no reason to give it up except for incompatibility with the LG Android Wear watch my wife gave me for Christmas. Battery life (with Power Save mode on) has been very good so far: 48% left after 12 hours, with 3-4 hours of screen on time, all the USB operations & reboots during the various installs and fairly heavy use of wi-fi this morning.

The only thing not working I've found so far is that Play Store won't run: it claims background data is disabled. I have no clue why a store app won't run unless BG data is enabled, but it shouldn't matter -- BG data is enabled, and Play Services has consumed nearly 6mB of BG data in the last 12 hours. I've toggled the device BG data flag, the app BG data flag, re-booted the device a few times to no avail. Any ideas how to get it working?

Thanks again for a mighty hack! I'll be sending more substantial appreciation as soon as I send this.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] jrior001:
FYI this is still LP, not marshmallow. If you flashed MM gapps thinking that, that may explain your play store issues. Otherwise I'd grab a fresh copy of opengapps for 5.1 and give that a try(that's what I tested with).
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] jrromanow:
Sorry -- marshmallow was a brain fart. I did install the 5.1 gapps. And the play store app is now working, apparently from nothing I did. So I"m down to zero complaints. (In my first 18 hours ;^)

Thanks again.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] thelonewolf_pav:
In addition to these questions: Torched 2.5 is not available for download. Both regular build and no-oc-no-ov lead to page 404 :)
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] jrior001:
^^ fixed.

As for your other requests:

1) brightness can be tweaked a little but the idea is to keep it minimal.

2) obviously you've figured out how to tweak zram on your own and that may have to do for now.

3)a lot of work went into other areas of the ROM to optimize BFQ across the board. This was more or less a shift across all CM devices to move to BFQ.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] jrior001:
For anyone using this, I highly recommend grabbing the new 2.8.7.1 TWRP build I just uploaded. This new build will support both the new and old layouts. For you early adopters you may notice the new 2.8.7.1 recovery boots into the old partition layout. If this happens manually change /system to FAT format and reboot to recovery again, the new layout should now be loaded instead.

The process to revert back is similar, the old /system partition will mount in the new sceme as /sdcard1 in recovery. Wipe as EXT4 and reboot to recovery to get the old layout back.

You can confirm which partition scheme has loaded via adb : adb shell getprop ro.product.device
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Sam3087:
The latest update 2.5 is missing double to wake feature. Synapse also tells me UCI not available in kernel. Am I missing something ??
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] jrior001:
Looks like what I tested and what I uploaded don't match, rebuilding new ones, give me 20 mins or so and I'll have fresh ones uploaded

Edit: fixed
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] thelonewolf_pav:
[MENTION=2836769]jrior001[/MENTION], FYI, Torched 2.5 doesn't work correctly with Ambient. It gives the same errors in the logcat as those that I posted earlier.

Otherwise, it's a great kernel, fast and very reliable.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] thelonewolf_pav:
For those who, like me, are missing screen brightness in Ambient, here's modified framework-res.apk.

If you don't know what to do with it or where to put it, don't mess with it. The thing works fine without it, I just added brightness (set to 192) and changed some auto-brightness values because why not :)
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Sam3087:
Thanks! Nice work
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] wondax:
Excuse me, I didn't really understand. Will this formatting wipe everything on my sdcard including music,pictures, etc?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] jrior001:
Maybe I need to make the word "wipe everything" and "backup everything" even bigger and bolder in the OP.....

Yes you will be wiping EVERYTHING if you proceed. Backup anything to a PC or the cloud or wherever that you want back, because you will be WIPING EVERYTHING!!!
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Sam3087:
[MENTION=2836769]jrior001[/MENTION],

quick question. Is there a possibility that you can release a version with 9GB for /data, 2.5GB for /system and 1.5GB for /sdcard. Reason i ask: Now i have around 60 apps installed (which is a dream accomplishment on Lollipop evita) it takes about 4GB space. Earlier, if i move the 'moveable' apps to sdcard, i would get about 2GB stored on Sdcard. which leaves me with additional 1.5GB on /data partition. It would be a humble request if its not of much pain. If you feel releasing that is Beta, you could PM me and i would be very happy to test.

Thanks a lot for what you do!!
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] buradd:
[MENTION=2836769]jrior001[/MENTION],

this is absolutely amazing - thank you

however, i flashed the 12/30 build and then 5.1 arm opengapps stock, and then after booting and initializing, i went back and flashed the torched 2.6 kernel

my phone has shut off randomly twice - thankfully my wife set her phone alarm clock for me because i told her i just flashed a new rom and she knows the alarm clock can sometimes be wonky.. it was off when i woke up, and then when i drove to work it and pulled it out of my pocket it was off again.

could this be because of the rom or because of the kernel?

Also: how do I access the overclocking/governor options?

Edit: shutdown on me one last time tonight for a total of three times today. Not sure what is causing it, phone is idle and locked screen off when it happens
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] wondax:
Does this mean that each time I perform a wipe(factory wipe) from recovery or flash a new ROM all my media files will b deleted too?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] thelonewolf_pav:
I too have experienced random shutdowns with Torched on stock CM12.1. A lot of them, in fact. When I complained about it some 6 months ago, everybody told me that I was the only one. For me, however, it was so bad I had to return to the stock kernel.

Now, with EvitaX configuration, the shutdowns are gone. Instead, the phone runs very slow and drains the battery as hell, although I'm not sure I can attribute it to the kernel. Gonna flash the stock kernel and see if it makes any difference.

---------- Post added at 08:00 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:50 AM ----------

@jrior001, one more question:

With Torched and EvitaX, if I try to set dirty_writeback_centisecs, after some time it always resets to zero. Why is that? Looks like you deliberately disabled changing this parameter.

For me, it seems to impact performance severely
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] thelonewolf_pav:
update! (talking to myself here, hope I don't bother anybody)

the kernel (?) seems to set dirty writeback to 500 on screen off and to 0 on screen on. added a tasker task to set it to 3000 on screen on, everything flies now.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] jrior001:
I don't remember what that value is or what it's for without looking it up. Fwiw there has always been folks with issues using the OC-capable version. Mine handles it very well but others are not so much, hence why I upload the non-OC version every time. Mine has actually been sitting idle on the desk 4-5 days w/o issue.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] thelonewolf_pav:
some more talking to myself.

do not, do not, oh god DO NOT use BFQ. it's bad. I just compared it head-to-head with ROW. with ROW (or SIO or FIOPS or anything else, but ROW was the best so far), everything is rather smooth. With BFQ my phone nearly died.

---------- Post added at 03:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:36 PM ----------

it's not about battery life (although, as I said, it's pretty bad for me. but then again, it might be one of the apps that I installed. I'll keep looking).

this value, generally speaking, controls write cache. setting it to zero effectively disables cache for writing, so every write blocks until writing is finished. i can't imagine why one would want to do that.

note: turning async IO changes nothing. it's slow either way.

but again, tasker solved my problem. a small task on screen on and voila, life is back to normal :)

regardless everything said above: thanks a million for your help! you're doing an amazing job here man.

I've stumbled upon this thread and I've raised my eyebrows with interest because I still have an HTC Evita. I have a small suggestion: why not mounting the old by-name/system under /data/local/tmp? We can still take advantage of that space.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] vanontom:
Incredible. Thank you, jrior001.

I'd already installed CM 12.1 official, but as stated, it quickly becomes virtually unusable due the partitioning and lack of app storage. I'd been wondering if someone had found a solution, but was not hopeful due to Evita's age. What a pleasant surprise this was! Brilliant solution and guide.

Maybe this can help others: Took a couple of tries. I think the guide on TheFlamingSkull may slightly differ from this XDA guide. My issues included TWRP not saving settings, etc. Started again from the top of this XDA guide (step 6, wipe and format), and everything is now running beautifully.

For anyone looking for a (perhaps final) solution for their One XL, this has to be a prime candidate. Highly recommended.

Update: Constant crashes. Seems to work well for a while, but after installing and updating apps, everything crashes continuously ("Unfortunately, <app> has stopped"). Started fresh a few times, using different OpenGapps, minimal apps, features off, etc. Still crashing. Unusable. Looks like Evita is finally dead.

Update: Moved to Lineage 14.1 and everything seems to be working great. Incredible. Enormous thanks again to jrior001, mdmower, h8rift.

That will allow you to use Miracast, but unless the receiving box is set up to receive casting then it won't do you much good.

Why would you want to cast to that box? If the content is on your phone and you want to use the Android box to display it on a TV then you would be better off using the DLNA functionality to stream it from Kodi on the Android box.

Yes, I have the same problem. Mine is weird though. Mine will sometimes get bright and match the setting, but a majority of the time it goes to the most dim level on the screen regardless of where the brightness level is set. I'm hoping that it is something that I can fix, but I don't know if people will say that it's a hardware issue. My Tab is rooted again after I reinstalled the stock firmware again to try and fix the problem. Hopefully someone can offer an insight to this problem. I'm wondering if taking it apart and heating up the processor with a heat gun would cause it to work. That worked as a temporary fix on an Apple computer.
