damn, maybe i should flash back to stock pc36img, and see if that helps. ive tried everything and am still in the boot loop. i guess i'm going to have to wait for an update
[EVO 4G Android Development] joeykrim:
try it. i went straight to PC36IMG.zip, reboot into recovery, loaded the custom recovery from toast, pushed this froyo .zip onto the sdcard, cleared, davlik, cache and data. rebooted and it worked first time.

im back on .6 RUU now ...

well i don't know whats wrong with my evo, but i've literally tried flashing this rom 30 different times and its a no go, it won't get out of the bootloop. i tried wiping everything and even going back to stock pc136img but that was a no go also. hopefully with the update tonight it will load for me. i know everyone else got it working i just don't know what the problem is. Loaded up 2 other custom roms and they load fine. i'm so hot at my evo right now, i want to throw this ****.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Avalaunchmods:
hmmm so a couple of things i have noticed

4.shared sucks.

The roaming thing i will fix tonight

cameras are not looking good. its def. because of the hardware. it cant scale to 8mps. thats just a guess, but i will try somethings tonight.

dont expect an update until later tonight est time. im about to finish up eclair lockscreen for the 2.1 and thats a bigger deal to me than froyo :)

ill put the mirror in first post and ill get a new filesharing site.

So I assume from lack of any documentation, that 4g is still broken. Is this a Driver issue that wont be resolved untill we see either the source released from google, or the official htc evo rom?
[EVO 4G Android Development] LiquidLife:
4Shared created an html link instead of a .zip link, that's why it loops, I was going to contact 4shared, but it was past business hours.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Avalaunchmods:
lack of documentation is due to the fact this is a development rom. not meant to be a usuable rom.

i put it out to test fixes that i have found. 4G should be working but i have not had confirmation on a yes or no. it starts up but i dont have 4g in my area.
[EVO 4G Android Development] zosologist:
sorry, wasn't meaning to criticize with my post was just surprised that no one mentioned whether or not it was working in this whole thread. Tell ya what, as penance i will root, and boot your rom and then let you know if 4g works.

well it works fine besides those two drawbacks. the bad part is that we have no source yet so we cant compile libs to "force" things to work.

Problem with GPS in Rev A release.

OK, I'm getting my first taste of froyo here with 8, and now rev a. I didn't have much time between the release of 8 and rev a to play with everything so I can't say if the GPS worked pre rev a on release 8 but... Going into settings / location and enabling GPS does not work. Enabling GPS with the power widget doesn't work either. However... launching the navigation app will start GPS and it works perfectly as long as the app is running. exit the app and GPS shuts down and won't start again until you launch the navigation app.

I began playing with this because I noticed that the phone thinks I'm in a small town a few miles from where I actually live, which is within the city limits of the state capital so it shouldn't be that hard for the phone to work out where I'm actually at based on the cell network. I figured if I enabled the phone to determine my location via GPS instead that it would work out where I'm actually at. However, while the map/navigation app actually knows where I'm at, the phone never figures it out, even when I'm running the navigation app. It continues to think I'm in the small town a few miles from here.

Does anyone know if this rom is using sprints towers or someone elses? i.e. using sprints prl...
[EVO 4G Android Development] kluster1999:

2. Can I just flash from fresh .03 to EVOlutionV8RevA.zip (170+megs) or do I need to flash EVOlutionV8.zip first (75+ megs)?

3. If I want to switch back & forth, can I just restore my fresh .03 nandroid backup & this rom is gone?

Re: (Rom) EVOlutionV8-Froyo-RevA+B-OC

Did you flash over a previous release of this rom? I came from the rooted stock .6 rom originally released by flipz. I have re-flashed and re-applied the update with the same result on the GPS. I wonder if something left in from a previous version of this rom is absent from this release but maintaining functionality for you.

I've been running EVOlutionV8 for a couple days now and love it, the balance of backing this up with Titanium and using Nandroid for my 2.1 ROM works well when i need to switch to have a camera.

If this N1 port of Froyo is this great, I can't wait for a proper AOSP verison.

Just updated the RevA zip, no issues and is running smooth. Thanks again OP

Oh, I saw some questions about updated the PRL (if you're stuck with something like 60662). I switched to DamageControl3.1.2 and updated the PRL there, then flashed EVOlutionV8 and the PRL 60666 stuck no problems.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Avalaunchmods:
yes. ill fix it to where people can see is frf72. i left it out because i didnt think it was important. and everything on the rom for market is ere27.

I tried installing Rev B and tried both 1.2 and 1.1 overclock kernels. Wiped data and cache and did a fresh install of V8 before loading up RevB and OCkernels both times. On 1.1 I could get booted....into the OS and everything was good. till I restarted the phone. Nexus load screen would run for a while then the "system" would FC and i'd have to pull battery and flash back to the Stock kernel and all was well. 1.2 wouldn't even boot from fresh wipe/reinstall. What am I doing wrong or what am i not reading in the forum that i missed :P thanks for any feedback.

Cool ROM! Exciting to get into Froyo on the EVO!

Probably should mention in the first post that 4G does not work within Froyo right now. It's not mentioned and probably should be. Not a big deal, but should be listed.

Thanks for all the great work!

EDIT:: Also, it seems that when ever I open the Messaging app, it Force Closes. CompSMS works fine though. The Roaming Indicator is also on, I think you mentioned in a changelog that it was fixed. I'm using v8 REV A.

Re: (Rom) EVOlutionV8-Froyo-RevA+B-OC

I'm not having that force close issue. My question is how do you know 4g doesn't work, how were you able to activate it? Did you use adb to turn on the radio? For us to know if 4g is working I need someones help with the post above yours.

Just one thing though: my songs aren't appearing in music player. The songs I added to the Alarms folder also don't appear. I'm thinking they're in the wrong format.

I would like to know the process as well... I've flashed the Rev A a couple times and the highest quadrant i have hit is 1277. Something doesn't seem right.

Here is what I am doing:

1) Rev A copied to SDCARD

2) Powered off the Phone

3) Hold Volume Down while Booting and Selected Recovery

4) Once in Recovery I am Selected Flash zip from SDCARD

5) Move down to RevA and hit Power

6) Hit Power again to Confirm

7) Flash takes ~45 seconds or so

8) Get the message "Install from sdcard complete."

9) I select Reboot system now

10) Once booted into Froyo I reboot again just to be on the safe side and re-run Quadrant > Full Benchmark

Yes you can do it on the go. just boot into recovery and use nandroid. Just make sure you have at least 30% battery before flashing anything. It would be really bad if your phone died in the middle of it.

PS: To everyone asking questions about this rom: It would be in your best interest to read at least 20 pages of this thread before even thinking about flashing anything. All the questions I see have been mentioned many many times already. Its not that hard to read.

Also, I got 1429 with revA, however my first run of it was in the 1200s. You have to run it multiple times and before running any other programs. That will get you the highest scores. Im about to overclock so il post that score back in a bit
