I don't think so. This was a pretty core Sense feature. Also the one thing I liked about sense. Although on the Evo it downloaded pictures that were really low DPI. Worked on the Hero, but looked horrible on the Evo.
[EVO 4G Android Development] CFitzgerald11:
very true! are you using any other form of contact picture syncing then...?
[EVO 4G Android Development] phinnaeus:
A quick google search and I have found this.

http://androidandme.com/2010/04/reviews/syncmypix-pulls-facebook-contact-photos-to-android/

I'm testing it now.

Edit / Preliminary Test Results: This is cool as ****. I love this, seriously. It hasn't actually done anything yet but its going through showing me all my friends and it just seems really well done. Anyway, before I did my sync I went to settings and checked the "use high resolution" option and dechecked the "crop" option.

After it finished syncing it gave me a list of my facebook friends which was confusing because most of them said "could not match" but that just meant I didn't have them in my contacts list. So I went to my contacts list in android to see what it did and most everyone was there. Some of the pictures were weird sizes so I might test out the "crop" option. Seems like it might do weird things though. Anyway, if you see someone in the sync list that didn't get matched up you can long press on them and select the corresponding contact in your contacts list manually.

Oh, the wonders of google.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Akira814:
Big trouble... When I plug in my phone, I can't get it to allow me the option to use it has a disk drive. The drop down option went away since I put Froyo on. Because I can't pull it up as a drive, it won't let me run the recovery script to go to a later back up. I can charge when I plug it in but none of my computers will detect it as a drive anymore.

EDIT: Now when I plug the phone in, it prompts me to installed software for Qualcomm CDMA Technologies MSM. It never did this before putting Froyo on, still can't get the phone to give me the option to have it become a disk drive.
[EVO 4G Android Development] TREYisRAD:
Thanks, this looks awesome.

Market widget

What apk do pull to get the market widget off froyo?
[EVO 4G Android Development] PlankLongBeard:
Froyo Update...!

Well, I can honestly say that this took off like never before.. The Evo has now become the new Nexus.. Speaking of, since there has been a new release of Froyo, can this be repacked and signed as before.. Much lessen our concerns with the Camera and Etc..

Just shooting in the dark Here.. :o

I just cant wait till sense and froyo come and arrive, then WE will REALLY have some rooting time! ;)
[EVO 4G Android Development] psych2l:
Hopefully with a fixed bluetooth stack :rolleyes:
[EVO 4G Android Development] phinnaeus:
Check Avalaunch's EVOlution thread. It is basically this ROM with bug fixes, but I believe one of the later updates is based off the new release.

Also... you want to defile my beautiful froyo UI with Sense? I dunno if we can be friends...
[EVO 4G Android Development] JasjarMan:
Dont know if this was posted but youtube and jetflicks or any other app that plays video will only play the SOUND but no picture. When the OS or me force closes the app the video keeps playing in the background.

Have to turn phone off and restart.

Also,this:

- after I unplug from wall the green light stays ON

- the light on touch buttons dont light, even in the dark

- brightness has to be set every time you reboot (if used manually)

Took rom off, cant wait till this works near perfect.
[EVO 4G Android Development] PlankLongBeard:
Oh No!.. I do not defile the froyo and Sense.. As a matter of a fact I am trying to see if I can find this and see where this goes.. Will do the Avalaunch.. Check it out.. :rolleyes:
[EVO 4G Android Development] tokuzumi:
Now, if we get this rom working 100%, with the overclocked kernel, that will be the perfect rom....for me, anyway! I applaud the hard work you guys are doing.
[EVO 4G Android Development] blazewit:
overclock kernal

so when I download an oc kernal and it shows up as update.zip can I just boot into recovery and flash it like a rom and then set cpu will just have a higher max setting or is it more complicated then that?
[EVO 4G Android Development] 702DROID:

He's out of town right now. Expect some cool stuff in a week I guess.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ffolkes:
i don't understand where the kernel for this came from, since the only kernel we have doesn't work with froyo. am i missing something?
[EVO 4G Android Development] joeykrim:
matter of terminology here -

the kernel we have does work with froyo, the default ramdisk does not work with froyo.

this froyo kernel, boot.img, has the toast kernel with a modified ramdisk.

off the top of my head, i think the main modification to the ramdisk is the init.rc file to support froyo services. prob other tweaks required too but i havent examined it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Igotsanevo4g:
I'm trying to come up with a solid method to port nexus roms. I have one that I've gotten to boot up and is pretty stable. No bootloops.

But I've got major problems, no cell service, no data, and no wifi, Bluetooth, cameras

I can probly fix wifi and Bluetooth with some tinkering and robbery from cm6 but I cannt figure on how to get data or cell service.

Any ideas?
[EVO 4G Android Development] SchNiVas:
Any Info or Update??

Any info or updates on this??... Is there a Froyo ROM available yet that is more or less stable and completed?...
[EVO 4G Android Development] smw6180:
You must be thinking of gingerbread. Froyo has been officially released for awhile now.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Tenny:
Two things I am noticing...

- Says my SD Card is blank / not formatted properly... (mounted it... seems ok now)

- Says I am roaming (Roaming Indicator On)

When looking at about phone... it says I am not roaming. Not sure where that's coming from?
[EVO 4G Android Development] maejrep:
So, you're saying it's fine now? This is a different issue than what I mentioned before. One of my coworkers who went to I/O with me had a problem with the SD card in his EVO, and I read on some blogs that it's a known issue. You might have one of those EVOs/SD cards that are acting up.

I had the roaming issue too... Toast gave me something that fixed it, gonna check logs. I guess all the back and forth we did while testing this didn't actually make it into the ROM he released :p Bad toast, bad!

EDIT: To fix roaming, push this file to /data/eri.xml : http://xda.privatepaste.com/download/e5edc55588

(Hint: you already have write access to /data from Android, no need to go to recovery to do it. but you *might* need to reboot after replacing it.. Or at least go into/out of airplane mode?)

One other issue, the g sensor doesn't seem to be working, at least it wont rotate the screen.
[EVO 4G Android Development] cail9970:
I think my flash froyo went well.

After reboot, it loops between four color lines merging to X... :confused:
[EVO 4G Android Development] joeykrim:
the other patch for the reboot issue was patched into the ROM in the first link really quickly. has this been pushed into the rom available in the first link?

this is really sweet. thanks guys!!
[EVO 4G Android Development] D3fpo3t:
That means 500 bucks of donations. I was gonna *buy* you 4-8 cans of coffee but i think i might put that money towards a better use....getting you an Evo.

500$ minus 100$ leaves 400$ to go as soon as i get back to my apartment *Get out of the shower bro I need ride back home where my wallet it* So I call upon future evo users: If 100 people donate 4 bucks toast will have enough to buy an evo. That is if its ok with toast it not then you *toast* will still have a ton of coffee money coming your way
[EVO 4G Android Development] toastcfh:
Ah my bad on the roaming notification. It's an easy fix, just need a file on data. Will fix tonight again sorry I meant to fix this in the release.
[EVO 4G Android Development] BenjRubenstein:
@Toast

Once the AOSP 2.2 is released, how confident do you feel that you'll be able to get ALL the hardware working properly (both cameras, HDMI, 4G, etc...)?
[EVO 4G Android Development] jayv1717:
can someone running froyo run quadrant and see what you get
[EVO 4G Android Development] Tenny:
The SD Card isn't the original one, I just needed to go into the settings and mount it. Not sure why it wasn't in the first place.

I did the roaming fix, airplane mode was all that was needed. Thanks!

I still can't get the screen rotation to work properly. The g-sensor doesn't seem to be working, when using the ShootMe app (ss) it wouldn't take a shot via shaking for hte life of it. I just booted into recovery and wiped the screen rotation stuff, and still no luck with this. I notice in the video it's working, was this a fix?

Another issue i ran into last night was with charging. It was like the device couldn't tell it was charging while on plugged into the wall. It did in fact reject the charge, as the battery drop 10% while I was sleeping (for a few hours) and it was plugged in. It's happening again this morning, in the SS below, I was plugged in and "charging" when the SS was taken...
[EVO 4G Android Development] pingpongboss:
Doesn't work for me.

Yes still laggy :(
[EVO 4G Android Development] jayv1717:
not bad..i kno the desire with froyo got under the nexus one in one test..and in another test it got like 1500..so i'am guessin the score is different every time

Edit: By the way that moto shadow is 2.2..i guarantee it
[EVO 4G Android Development] Tenny:
Yeah the scores seem to be bouncing around a tad, that was my second one. First was just under nexus.
[EVO 4G Android Development] pingpongboss:
1293 first run, 1438 second run

is darchstar getting an evo?

darchdroid + evo = win
[EVO 4G Android Development] Kalisto707:
I got froyo running on my EVO and noticed i am unable to play any video or youtube clips. Not expecting it to work just thought i would let you guys know.
[EVO 4G Android Development] :
You sure I was about to do this, if it can't do that, then that's pretty lame...
[EVO 4G Android Development] Tenny:
I couldn't through YouTube program, but when I installed Flash 10.1, it played fine within the browser...
[EVO 4G Android Development] :
Though can you play videos locally on your phone? If not can you try a different video player?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Kalisto707:
tried yxplayer and does the same thing as the regular player. I installed flash to see if that made any difference. It doesnt. It just plays sound and doesnt stop playing sound even if you quit the app.
[EVO 4G Android Development] joeykrim:
looks like a user got tripped up by not clearing his dalvik cache before applying this rom. this could probably be added to the update-script in the ROM .zip to help prevent this from tripping up any other users.

perhaps clear /data and /cache to be safe? your call.

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=6684421&postcount=486
[EVO 4G Android Development] Kalisto707:
Also noticed when i am charging my phone the LED notification light does not turn off when i unplug the phone. Just a fyi.
[EVO 4G Android Development] toastcfh:
the reson i dont include wiping in the update-script is because normally i just update the build and when i do if ur already running it u dont need to wipe. also as i do before any flash i wipe twice no matter what for good measure. anyhow all users of root should take note to this. always wipe before flashing a rom, unless unless other wise noted in the first post.
[EVO 4G Android Development] joeykrim:
good to know. i wasnt sure if it was standard pratice to include the wipe dalvik command in the update-script for the ROM because the only other ROM i've seen here is flipz's stock ROM with root and he does wipe dalvik in his update-script.

thanks for the clarification!
[EVO 4G Android Development] toastcfh:
yeah always wipe unless its noted in the first post that its not needed. this is just for good measure and to avoid bad flashes or UID issues
[EVO 4G Android Development] :
So does video just not work with this release? You should probably mention that Toast in the beginning, unless of course it works for you.
[EVO 4G Android Development] :
So can anyone else confirm video doesn't work?

I am all for trying Froyo if video works.
[EVO 4G Android Development] chuckhriczko:
Wait are we talking about Flash video working in the browser? If you download flash from the market it works fine. Perfect actually.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Kalisto707:
This is what i am getting when trying to view youtube vids. The same thing happens if trying to view a video from the sd card aswell.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jzmjr:
I'm also not getting video in the gallery or video player. Flash video inbrowser does work.
[EVO 4G Android Development] setite:
I am majorly tempted to try this release out, if for no other reason then to avoid HTC Sense. Besides that which does not work, is the Froyo Evo stable and useable? Or is it extreme beta in the sense that one should not use it if they want a functional phone.
[EVO 4G Android Development] johnsongrantr:
flashed this rom this morning after getting the evo, everything went smooth except for the sd card was giving me a headache.

the stock sd was fine, but if you use an sd from a previous phone (htc hero w/ ap2sd) that I had an ext4 partition in it, it will give you a major headache, had to format fat32 before this rom was able to recognize it... unfortunately lost my nandroid. So... guess I'll be staying with this rom for a while =P

----BUGS----

- roaming indicator always on, under status (not roaming)

- protected apps not showing in market, zenonia full for one

- rotate not working

- graphic intensive games locking phone up (zenonia free) live wallpapers are working correctly though.
[EVO 4G Android Development] :
Any idea when the video playing will be fixed Toast?
[EVO 4G Android Development] maejrep:
The roaming indicator should be fixed by the eri.xml file earlier in this thread (I thought it was added to the zip, actually .. but if not, the file I linked to should be placed in/data, and it worked for me)

Also I ran the full sensor test app, and *all* sensors (that the app tests for) worked properly. I'm not sure why rotate wouldn't work for people, as accelerometer was one of the sensors that I confirmed was working.

In fact, just look at the "Froyo on EVO4G" video.. it starts out in landscape mode, and I had to tilt the phone up for it to switch back to portrait mode. That's clearly showing the accelerometer working.

As for beta quality, I did not have any problems with the phone itself, and I was running it for a couple days. The only reason I switched back to 2.1 was because of the camera, which frankly is too good a camera to give up (for me)
[EVO 4G Android Development] toastcfh:
i just got my EVO last night and i got a lot goin on today. but i hope to get to this this weekend some time. this build is alpha like a mofo, as hints the title {ROM-DEV}.

@everyone who wants to help in finding fixes. some debugging would be nice to report errors or failures of features. ill put some nice examples below:

adb logcat
can be exported to text file like so:
adb logcat>~/logcat.txt

also another is:

adb shell cat /proc/kmsg
u can also export this to a txt file like so
adb shell cat /proc/kmsg>~/kmsg.txt

cntrl+c to exit both logcat and kmsg

also when u get an out put or wanna share ur findings this is a good place to do so:

then just post the link here
[EVO 4G Android Development] f00bar:
A bit OT but I want to get froyo running on my CDMA hero, I'm sure the bugs we hit will probably overlap so not too OT. What kernel is this you're using in boot.img? Were there many kernel changes in 2.1->2.2, or should it be possible to use /system from this image with hero 2.1 RUU kernel/boot.img?

Anything I should fix in /system first? I guess ro.sf.lcd_density=160 in build.prop for hero, anything else?
[EVO 4G Android Development] DroidDhakan:
Flashed this earlier in the day. Everything thats suppose to work is working except the orientation and thats because of the sensors. The roaming fixed worked fine. This could definitely work for me as a day to day ROM. Not worried about the camera as of yet and 4G well its great but for now I don't mind it because I am on WiFi all day anyways. Looking forward to see this develop.

I have got FroYo on my EVO. I am trying to return to stock rooted EVO.....I can not figure out how to get adb devices to show the EVO......When I plug in the USB the only option on FroYo is to mount.....I selected HTC Sync previously and adb "saw" the device......Admittedly I am a noob an need help....Please.

goto Settings, Applications, Development, and make sure USB debugging is turned on
[EVO 4G Android Development] bcnice20:
There isn't an option that says charge only I haven't flashed it yet so I dunno lol in pretty sure the device won't be recognized when mounted or in HTC sync mode

just use the mass storage method to dump the rom into the root of the sdcard folder and reboot into recovery by holding volume down and power, then run the bat file that brings you to the other recovery menu. from there flash your old image
[EVO 4G Android Development] mdaddy:
I flashed the FrOyO-EVO rom and am now stuck in an endless boot animation (the classic android 4-color X fly-in). I let it go the first time for about 8-10 minutes before reflashing. Now I'm 3 minutes into my second flash.

Anyone else experienced this? On the second round I made sure to wipe cache and dalvik-cache before flashing.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mdaddy:
Fixed -- had to wipe data, not just cache/dalvik-cache.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mdaddy:
Lovin' this ROM.. experiencing the same issues as johnsongrantr: (I'll use the fix for the first one)
[EVO 4G Android Development] vboyz103:

[EVO 4G Android Development] infamousjax:
hmmm if you cant get it to read your SD card your screwed man...

try formatting your card and make sure its set as a FAT32 filesystem.

good luck!

Few more bugs....

* Can't add/sync a Facebook account (though the app and widget work fine, contacts aren't syncing)

I'm getting stuck in an infinite boot loop when I flash this rom! Does anybody know what may be causing this? I followed the root thread's instructions three times and I get the same result every time.

I started out with the most recent official evo pach, reverted it back to the original, then installed root. That boots successfully, but after flashing the froyo zip and rebooting, the phone just keeps flashing the white htc screen.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
[EVO 4G Android Development] futuremm2008:
Working Fantastic.

No Problems at all for me. Text works outgoing and receiving. flash 10.1 won't play hulu :( boot up perfect loaded all Google stuff contacts and email. linpack is in the 38's on average. Usb storage works, still have roaming indicator but we know we're not actually roaming. Wifi, no problems. Market works perfect. Force close on youtube, played and received audio only then force closed and play sound for a good while after i was already back at the home screen. Led light is only on when charging or notification is present. Rotation NOT working. Camera Not working. Microsoft Exchange works perfect. Live wallpaper is good. And it charges...lol.

Very Very Nice... Thank you for all the time and effort you have put into this to allow me to experience this next to come update. Can't wait for fixes.
[EVO 4G Android Development] hawkyman:
Guys,

A bunch of people at andriodcentral are having some trouble with Wifi range. They aren't even getting full wifi bars when they are standing next to their router. When they walk into the next room the signal drops to one bar or disconnects. Wifi speeds have been tested to be 50% of what the 3GS has over wifi.

"I can't post the link because of my post count)

Do you guys see any improvement running the froyo 2.2 rom??
[EVO 4G Android Development] foolforfood:
Before you flashed, did you do a factory wipe and wipe the dalvik cache?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Ryan Frawley:
Yes. I managed to successfully flash a different rom in this forum. It appears to only be the froyo rom that won't boot. (Of course that's the rom I want most)
[EVO 4G Android Development] toastcfh:
ok started weeding through some fixes.

roaming notification = fixed

i can play youtube with no issues

i can also go to youtube site and use browser flash player to play video

havent figured out hulu's issue yet

rotation works for me. btw it did on the old build. so im not sure what the issue is.

mms = still sux and doesnt work

camera= working on it now
[EVO 4G Android Development] bcnice20:
Haha your gonna make my rom meaningless within hours lol and I believe hulu is intentionally blocking out mobile phones and everytime a workaround gets established they block it
[EVO 4G Android Development] p-slim:
to get hulu working on the nexus one you have to go to the browser, type in "about:debug" and then go to settings, uastring, and change it to desktop.
[EVO 4G Android Development] p-slim:
will you post the updated rom later on today with the roaming fix? I can live without mms or camera and i don't have 4g in my area yet. if those are the only things wrong with it, i would love to get froyo back.
[EVO 4G Android Development] blackout203:
Nice, can't wait for this!
[EVO 4G Android Development] mdaddy:
You can fix the roaming thing yourself -- there's a command in this thread to adb push an xml file to the phone that fixes it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mdaddy:
It's not just rotation that doesn't work -- if you go into any app that uses the g sensor (I'm trying Labyrinth), the tilt sensors are not working at all (i.e. the ball just sits there, and if you attempt to calibrate the water-level-bubbles never move)

Also, is Facebook contact integration working for you? i.e. are your android contacts displaying Facebook info (photos, status updates, etc)? (it's not for me)
[EVO 4G Android Development] p-slim:
i haven't been following this thread, thanks for that info. is everyone having troubles with youtube or just some? if its everyone then i will just wait for him to update the rom, if not i will jump on this right away.

if all this is happening, i will just wait for the update, hopefully he puts it out today.
[EVO 4G Android Development] protocol6v:
Hmm, if you can get Camera and MMS working, I'll gladly flash over for some error reports and of course, buy you a couple cups of coffee ;)

So, i didnt want to wait, so i flashed. Noticed my indicator led is stuck on... hmm
[EVO 4G Android Development] futuremm2008:
i read somewhere that the easy work around for hulu is to type about:debug in the browser and go into settings and change uastring to desktop, still didn't work but i will test again something seems to be different after some sleep.

edit: tried it again, still says platform not compatible. Maybe another browser? steel, dolphin, or opera maybe?

*** Real sorry didn't see the post 7 up. Still not working for me though.
