Any chance we'll get an update today before Monday?
[EVO 4G Android Development] blehzz:
i can live without 4g (not in my area) and no mms (rarely use it anyways). once camera is fixed and other things ironed out i'll definitely switch over.

can't wait to see how emulation does on FroYo!

thanks for all of the hard work!

battery

Maybe I missed it but I searched this thread... anyone with this installed that can comment on battery differences from stock w/ HTC Sense?
[EVO 4G Android Development] goodfellaslxa:
I just flashed a beta of Android 2.3 "Gogurt" and my Evo now lasts for 5 days of heavy usage, can stream 1080p over the Sprint 3G+4G (7G!!) and sometimes hovers when I set it on my desk.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Jus10o:
I thought they worked out the hovering feature and got it working every time? And I must of miss read the change log cuz i saw it supported higher then 1080p.

[EVO 4G Android Development] Ryan Frawley:
Nobody else is having the infinite boot loop problem? I've tried to flash this rom at least five times and I always end up with it. I'm pretty experienced with flashing stuff on Android phones, so I know I'm following the directions properly. (Other roms work)

Please help! Thanks!

P.S. Is there a way to get some log output of the boot sequence? That would help me figure out what went wrong!
[EVO 4G Android Development] chagio:
U didn't wipe data/restore to factory and wipe cache/Delvic cache before flashing to new rom.
[EVO 4G Android Development] J3STUR:
ok So i got this rom working no problem, very nice and fast, install flash 10.1 beta or whatever and can play zynga poker on face book (sweet!) Really cool but i think im going back to stock until it is more stable. But very nice work for the evo just coming out, can wait to see a stable version of this wrong, good work guys!!!!
[EVO 4G Android Development] Ryan Frawley:
Yes I did! Something else has to be causing the problem...
[EVO 4G Android Development] LuckySlevin:
nvm, sry. looked around some more.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mdaddy:
Hmm.. running this build and experiencing a weird issue -- the phone won't keep its USB connection longer that 1 second or so. Despite whether or its a PC-USB connection, or USB to the wall / charger, it says "Charging" for a split second, along with the USB connection notification, and then it drops and acts like I unplugged it.

Anyone else experiencing this? There's no way to charge it!
[EVO 4G Android Development] mdaddy:
SOLVED: Turned it off, removed the battery, replaced battery, turned it on.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Avalaunchmods:
toast i have a fix for camera but it

1.cant change resolution

2. cant use camcorder

3. cant take pictures lol

but it does show the image threw the viewfinder.

where did you get the frameworks? and ill make an update.zip after some more test

edit---so it seems i cant make an update.zip because it will lock at boot. since we cant write in system i cant do anything to keep the camera working. it only works once. but i gotta work a 8.

push files /permissions /libc /licamera /cameraservice /hw

that will get you camera but after restart it goes back to normal. i used unrevoke to write to system.
[EVO 4G Android Development] toastcfh:
nice man. Will test and update tonight. Maybe all I needed was libc and something out of permissions. I already added hw and the three camera libs. But yeah preview in the view finder is major progress.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Hero_Over:
i dont know if you have tried this. but try to compile another kernel with tethering modules built in if not already. and i dont think the camcorder will work until we get some sorta leak from htc or an update to aosp. i think camera can be acheived though w/o flash. anyways glad to see someones got the froyo scene being worked on. cant wait to get my evo so i can join in efforts or do my own thing.
[EVO 4G Android Development] flam253:
just wondering...it seems like you have verizon service, how will you be able to use your evo then? o.O
[EVO 4G Android Development] ogwilson:
Having the same problem as Ryan here. Wiped Dalvik Cache, Regular Cache, and Data before flashing and stuck in an infinite bootloop. Not sure what is causing this.
[EVO 4G Android Development] coldfire2122:
I am having this issue too
[EVO 4G Android Development] phinnaeus:
I flashed this with no problems whatsoever just to run Quadrant, got 1200 something. Lack of camera killed me, otherwise it's a pretty damn good "throw it together quickly just as proof of concept" ROM. Glad to see Froyo 100% on the Evo isn't very far off.
[EVO 4G Android Development] timothydonohue:
to get hulu working, search the nexus forum for hulu in the thread titles. there is a thread that has a hacked flash apk that will allow you to use hulu, but you will still have to do the about:debug and change the uastring.

i had it working on my nexus no problem. and yes, this was after hulu fixed the original uastring workaround. the hacked flash tells hulu that you aren't on a mobile device.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Fixter:
You have no idea how much money I would give to this this in a week or so.
[EVO 4G Android Development] phinnaeus:
Well I doubt we will get it before a) HTC releases the source for the Evo software, there are a lot of proprietary drivers that we need, and/or b) Google officially releases 2.2 (or has that happened already?)
[EVO 4G Android Development] Shidell:
Neither yet. :\
[EVO 4G Android Development] phinnaeus:
Yeah.

...

SO SAD D:
[EVO 4G Android Development] Fixter:
And God knows when the first one might happen. And I can't even see the day Sprint makes the official update. Maybe next year! *gasp* :eek: xD
[EVO 4G Android Development] phinnaeus:
It's actually HTC that we have to worry about.

Rant:

If they had designed Sense with any sense they would have made it more of an add-on theme type thing than this horrible parasitic CPU-sucking thing that we have to reverse engineer to remove, they could just write the special drivers for all the cool **** in the Evo and release that, making a Sense (read: slower) version available in a year or two, or whenever they want to.

So instead we have to work against them at every turn, breaking their ridiculous NAND protection and gaining root access to replace their perversion of android with something halfway decent. (edit: I want to note here that a lot of the things put out by this dev community are truly phenomenal work. Not trying to imply otherwise)

They make and design great hardware. Why can't they stick to that? It's like HTC has this complex about software design...they feel like they have to put this gloss on everything to compete with Apple. And unlike Apple's gloss, its not even well thought out. I respect HTC a lot for making great hardware but it is like they are constantly playing specs-leapfrog with everyone else, instead of actually thinking about what goes into a really solid design.

So if they spent a little less time making everyone's lives worse with Sense and more time on the drawing board thinking about how hardware interacts with the end user maybe we could all live a little better.

End rant.

{tl;dr: GET OFF MY LAWN/I HATE SENSE}
[EVO 4G Android Development] booyakasha:
Couldnt agree more, Sense isn't welcome on my phone either.
[EVO 4G Android Development] infamousjax:
Sense is good for people who "out-of-the-box" functionality... that's it. It has some nice, user-friendly features that can be useful to someone who is new to Android. Unfortunately, they seemed to have integrated it into the kernel, making it (like you said) a PITA to uninstall. Keep your head up, we'll have an AOSP 2.1 for the Evo soon enough, I'm sure of it. :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] mdaddy:
Screw 2.1 .... 2.2 is where it's at! :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] phinnaeus:
Oh, I know. I have a lot of trust in this community to produce outstanding products. But its a two sided coin. If HTC didn't bother with Sense, they could spend that money on hardware R&D. That way I wouldn't be so depressed when SJ gets up on stage and shows off a piece of hardware that makes me somewhat aprehensive about my 3 day old Evo. Android on an iPhone4, you know how freakin awesome that would be?

If I didn't have this developer community to fall back on for amazing software, I wouldn't be buying HTC phones. Period.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Fixter:
Can I remove or at least use the Launcher instead of the Sense?
[EVO 4G Android Development] phinnaeus:
Yeah, easily. If you want to just use the stock Launcher just go into Settings > Applicatons > Manage Applications

Find "HTC Sense" in the list and at the bottom hit "Force Stop" (not sure if that one is necessary) and "Clear Defaults." Hit home again and it should ask you what you want to complete this action with. Make sure you check the "use as default" box at the bottom, and hit Launcher.
[EVO 4G Android Development] guyver2077:
am i the only one that likes sense? Its actually pretty sleek and pretty to show off to the normal ppl out there. (iphone type ppl).

Think it has potential..
[EVO 4G Android Development] :
Who here will make man love when a betterer Froyo comes :P (non homo)
[EVO 4G Android Development] notown775:
i like it as well, i'm just waiting for the devs to incorporate froyo with sense.. Cause you know HTC will. But i believe the devs here will beat em to it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] 06ms6:
The only thing I have against Sense is the delaying of updates/difficulty it causes devs here, I love the widgets and style of it actually.
[EVO 4G Android Development] -viperboy-:
Next project is to get the FRF57 leak on here, right guys? :D

http://alldroid.org/tabid/62/g/posts/m/1757/FRF57-LEAK.aspx#post1757

Even though it's for the Droid, it could probably work on the EVO, no?
[EVO 4G Android Development] :
So is HTC jerking off or making Froyo? Because I mean just rooting their Froyo would be pretty nice.

I want teh speed.

I also want bluetooth fixed for HID devices... which HTC broke, so I kind of want a stock Froyo too :p
[EVO 4G Android Development] joeykrim:
for a froyo dev thread there sure are a lot of posts NOT contributing/dealing with the development of the Froyo ROM posted in the first post ...
[EVO 4G Android Development] lostinroot:):
Well i guess now you can take one thing off your to be done list!!!

I'd like to help

I have a fair understanding of the linux setup (arch is the only OS I use at home), a good amount of c knowledge, and an evo that can be used for testing stuff so long as I don't screw something up and brick it. I want an aosp 2.2 for evo, and I've been watching development and want to get involved and help with this if y'all would like it. Let me know where to get started, and I would be glad to contribute my time.

On xda EVERYONE is a developer... didn't you get that memo?
[EVO 4G Android Development] ninjaquick:
Hey,

I've been running your June 3rd FroYo build since I got the phone and have found several bugs:

1. Navigation Buttons on the bottom of the screen do not light back up automatically after the screen is turned off. They can be turned back on if you change the brightness settings to either automatic or manual (whichever of the two would mark a change from the current settings)

2. Automatic Brightness does not work, is the ambient light sensor enabled/has driver?

3. AFAIK none of the sensors seem to be functional, though I'm sure you know bout this by now.

4. Bluetooth is either flaky or non functional. Last I checked I could not enable it for some reason. Haven't tested since I put the newest radio on though.

I'll let you know if I find anything else.
[EVO 4G Android Development] :
Did videos play locally? Just making sure.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ninjaquick:
I haven't tried using videos copied from my computer, I can use Flash Video in the browser but not through any of the media Apps I have tried.

thought

I'm not entirely sure how the hardware/software handles videos but given the audio playback in local flash video playback it may be a missing filter in the source flash that toast used. If no video plays then it might be that a software renderer is pointing to hardware which either does not exist or has the wrong name.

Again, I'm not entirely sure how the Android OS is set up to behave, but if it doesn't have hard coded hardware specific relationships, and if it uses a conventional software method for rendering it is prolly an easy fix: to the degree of pulling it from the EVO 2.1 flash and pushing it right in to the 2.2. This assuming 2.2 is compatible with 2.1 2D rendering methods.

Now, 2.2 may very well have implemented a 3D rendering model which could mean that it is either initiating and crashing or pointing at a wrong hardware name. Obviously the OS doesn't die, but audio playback continues so I would err on the side of some file is just missing. It isn't initiating a video renderer and it isn't terminating the audio stream on exit.

/thought

So, I got a video to play from the sd-card. It was recorded using the stock flash and happened to be sitting on my sdcard.

It plays smoothly but halts occasionally (buffering maybe).

To repro video playback, try using a task killer before attempting playback.

[EVO 4G Android Development] Fixter:
Holy crap Ninja, can you be anymore knowledgeable? :D
[EVO 4G Android Development] mdaddy:
This happens to me over and over, and each time I have to power off and reset the battery.

Is this happening to anyone else? I'm not sure if it's the Froyo ROM or my hardware going bad.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ninjaquick:
It's a bug in the ROM I think, or some other software issue. Don't worry your hardware is ok.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Sporkman:
yea and who put you in charge ?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Ryan Frawley:
He has a point though. I've had an issue that nobody has taken seriously so far. I get an infinite boot loop even though I am sure I followed the steps correctly. Yes, I wiped the cache before somebody asks...

If I can successfully flash another rom from this forum, there has to be something else causing the problem...
[EVO 4G Android Development] mdaddy:
I had this same issue and had to wipe all three options:

"data/factory reset"

"cache"

"dalvik-cache"

After wiping all 3, it worked.
[EVO 4G Android Development] imneveral0ne:
Have you developed something that we can see? please post links!
[EVO 4G Android Development] ztahoez:
Thank you for this rom even being a Dev rom. The battery life and speed is amazing again thx for your hard work and am looking foward to any future Froyo builds
[EVO 4G Android Development] Avalaunchmods:
So after some work im pretty sure the camera issue is permission related as it is not even showing a request to activate the hardware in logs. This happened in the old hero 2.1 when cameras didnt work. But anyways im trieng to think of a way to recreate the camera view finder without bootlooping. But as i stated before, if i add the files into a rom when it is not running, it will bootloop. Anyways toast or anyone else get anywhere?
[EVO 4G Android Development] coldfire2122:
Even after doing this before flashing, using RUU and re rooting, even re-downloading the rom... I still get a infinite boot loop on the white HTC screen.

Anyone have any ideas about how to resolve this?
[EVO 4G Android Development] BronTron:
yeah same here. anybody got a solution?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Avalaunchmods:
hmmm adb logcat it is all we can help you with. ill prolly throw up another froyo rom for the time being with alot of updates, working BT, and hopefully cameras until toast gets his new one up. so adb logcat and post it up
[EVO 4G Android Development] tylerl:
This happens to me with the stock EVO ROM if I'm plugged into my computer via an unpowered hub. Presumably it's detecting the connection, attempting to up the amps, failing, and then disconnecting.

Presumably your situation is more complex than this, but this might give you an idea of where to look.

Keeps cycling through the white HTC EVO 4G screen after reboot

PLEASE HELP!!

I'm so scared:(
[EVO 4G Android Development] angeltk:
Did you perform a data/cache and dalvik-cache wipe before flashing?

Else you can just boot into recovery again and just reflash something else (after performing wipes again)
[EVO 4G Android Development] Hero's Hero:
Yes, I did, data/cache, dalvik-cache, and cache.

Yeah, Idk what the issue is, it keeps cycling but only on this ROM :(

This is the only one I want lol
[EVO 4G Android Development] joeykrim:
yes and here are a few links for you.

[Kitchen] Online ROM Builder - Android DE03

[Kernel - DE03] joeykrim-SDX - v2.0.4!!!

joeykrim - SDX - Recovery - 2.1.3

[How To] - Root Android 2.1 DD03/DD10 - v7

mind sharing some links to your work?

prob best to stay on topic and work towards developing a better working froyo ROM

thanks for this, it looks great! excited to load it up and test it out. appreciate you working with toast getting all the bugs worked out!

a few people have stated this problem so anybody who is able to get adb turned on and catch the exceptions would be very helpful.

if you're able to get usb debugging turn on, then adb logcat or ddms will help detail what is crashing causing the boot loop...perhaps somebody knows the exact data file and setting which keeps usb debugging on.

i would turn on USB debugging in a working ROM, wipe dalvik-cache and cache but not /data so adb stays on, then reboot and through adb logcat or ddms (gui for adb logcat) it should show which process/program is crashing during boot. at least its a good starting point and we can go from whatever your log shows is crashing...
[EVO 4G Android Development] p-slim:
I'm having trouble loading this rom and avalanche's rom. here is my log. Yes i wiped all 3.

edit: wrong log
[EVO 4G Android Development] joeykrim:
this log looks like it is from the actual custom recovery ... not from adb logcat running while the phone is booting froyo and getting caught in a boot loop.
[EVO 4G Android Development] p-slim:
ok. i will try your method you posted.
[EVO 4G Android Development] p-slim:
i ran adb logcat but it just says waiting for devices, and my phone is in this infinite boot. is the log catching this, I don't think so? i'm so angry at the fact this is working for some and not for others. i know i've done everything as written but none of these froyo builds will load.
[EVO 4G Android Development] flam253:
joey is great at sdx! great contributor, sorry, offtopic hahaha
[EVO 4G Android Development] TheBiles:
Sorry for not reading the entire thread, but have any of the issues mentioned been corrected? I don't see any sort of changelog in the first post, and I was wondering if any improvements had been made.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Fixter:
Exactly true man, that way we can report things without have to double check to see if someone has already posted the issue.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Avalaunchmods:
hmm people that are not getting boot. or not getting the device found in adb. pull the battery and try again with no cable plugged in.

if it still does not work then it sounds like something is not being a copied correctly in recovery because it wont even begin runtime.
[EVO 4G Android Development] p-slim:
i'm at work and i don't have any way to get to recovery anymore but i will definitely try this when i get off of work tonight. all of your help is greatly appreciated and when i finally get this to boot you will be rewarded. it seems the only people who can get this loaded are people who were using the toast rom. but now the toast rom will not load either.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ogwilson:
Did not work for me. This is odd because I can flash any other ROM just fine. Ah well.
[EVO 4G Android Development] tyrnight:
I had the same issue..

What I found was that ADB was still running in the background and I had to close all Command windows and start a new one in order to get adb to mount the device.

Try it.. let me know
[EVO 4G Android Development] ogwilson:
Can you post specifics on what you did? Did this alleviate any boot loop issues you were having? Or were you referring to another issue?
[EVO 4G Android Development] p-slim:
how do you apply this fix? this is not an actual file. do i create a txt file then push that .txt file to my phone?
[EVO 4G Android Development] KERKEDAGAIN:
yup...that should do it
[EVO 4G Android Development] p-slim:
thanks. after i copy and paste to the text file. do i change the extension from .txt to .xml. I tried that and it seems like it does something. I can't try at this moment because i'm not home yet, i just want to make sure.
[EVO 4G Android Development] CryptoArgonaut:
Roaming Fix

Yep - just create a file with notepad or edit in the cmd prompt, paste the contents into it. When you do a save-as, get rid of the "save as .txt" and switch to "all files" so you don't end up with a file named eri.xml.txt.
[EVO 4G Android Development] KERKEDAGAIN:
actually, one o' the cool things about adb is that you command it to make an xml file..so it'll create the output file you specify regardless of what it's originally named or suffixed.

also i just right-clicked the link and saved it as a text file to my sdk location, saves having to copy n paste n all.
[EVO 4G Android Development] p-slim:
thanks you guys. I believe i will finally be able to get out of the infinite boot when i get home and i don't want that roaming thing. i will save the file the adb tools, then push the file using adb push. thanks once again.
[EVO 4G Android Development] joe ridge:

try doing it in recovery mode.

that worked for me.

i actually did it a few times, since it didnt seem to be working.

I even did it while i did a "rom manager backup".

while it did a back up i kept puching the file.. would say 21k and other times it would say 0k. but after the backup, it worked.

not sure if that helped, but no more roaming..

have you tried the radio update?

sorry havent read through the rest of the forum, as im only trying to keep updated on the status.
