Clockwork does not require you to rename it to update.zip.

As for the rest, we have no hardware keyboard to do as you say so you got me there. Otherwise, yes, I have wiped the device, multiple times.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] :
I'm having the same problem, flashed twice, neither time worked, Gmail and Google talk still force close.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] adrynalyne:
By the way, I got this flashed. I deleted the boot.img and edited the installer script so as to NOT flash the kernel.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] impatspence:
I had this problem, then reinstalled and made sure not to install the google apps... (apps.zip) that came with until you get passed first boot. I also wiped the cache from the bootloader... should be under the wipe device.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] larsrya8:
I let mine boot up the first time before installing Google Apps (because I forgot). So the steps are (just to verify):

1) Complete wipe of cache and data

2) Install ROM

3) Boot ROM

4) Power-off and go back into recovery

5) Install apps.zip from SD card

6) Boot ROM, do Google setup

7) It should work?

Those are the steps I did the first time though...
[Droid Incredible Android Development] JustinD2473:
can someone host this ROM somewhere else ? the website to download it was changed. it is no longer available.

edit....thier website is fixed now, i got the download
[Droid Incredible Android Development] barry1685:
What do you mean download the google apps?

To wipe your phone do you boot in recovery mode?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] ejkeebler:
I have the same problem twice I've tried it now both times wiped it through recovery (now trying wiping the device, then wiping through recovery then rom then reboot then apps), first time I installed the rom and apps and booted up, 2nd time I installed the rom then rebooted and installed the apps, and both times I get gmail force closes, although the second time it actually let me open gmail and setup my account, still force closes after that. Also clicking messages says not installed, but I will eventually install handcent anyway, so not worried about that, same with swype ( i used the incredible one from here and it worked fine)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] larsrya8:
The proprietary Google Apps that came with the phone (Gmail, Talk, Market, etc) were packaged in the separate apps.zip file listed below the ROM on the download page.

To wipe I powered the phone off, and held Vol down + Power to boot into HBOOT and selected RECOVERY to get into ClockworkMod; from there I wiped cache and did a wipe data / factory reset.

Since I'm very reliant on Gmail, and I'm not sure what else is/will be broken in the ROM, I've reverted back to my nandroid backup of the stock ROM.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] dB Zac:
the apps.zip link apears to be broken, anyone have a mirror

[Droid Incredible Android Development] adrynalyne:
I've put all of my own personal development on hold, but I am still around to help folks out. Keep in mind that this is unmodified aside from no kernel flash. I also removed some things from /data, like setcpu as its a paid app and not cleared for redistribution.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] ejkeebler:
to be honest mine looks more like a synchronization issue. my sync icon just sat on my notification bar for 30 minutes, seemed like all my calendar and facebook and contacts sync'd though? is this a similar symptom for others having problems with gmail? and if so did the updated gmail in this thread fix that? or could I possibly be having 2 issues?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] luuuuuuukee:
is this bootlooping for anybody else? i tried both by installing from sd (caused bootloop) and renaming it to update.zip and trying that, still bootlooped. i factory wiped and all that. any help?

Locking

I don't know if anyone else has had this problem...

Besides gmail crashing everything is running beautifully HOWEVER:

If I press the power button to try locking the screen, it will make the screen go blank but will not lock it. IE if I hit a volume control or the trackball, it comes right back!

Is there a setting to configure this?

Can anyone confirm?

Thanks! This is awesome :)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] kentoe:
Did you apply vanilla-lock.zip in CW?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] dB Zac:
my lock screen is also missing
[Droid Incredible Android Development] thawkth:
I did not! I don't remember that option. Where would I find that?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] dB Zac:
I must have missed something because I don't have that zip file

except my bootloop issue:(

edit:worked after the third wipe, swype keeps crashing but im 'bout to try the droid x keyboard! herrryyaayaaaa
[Droid Incredible Android Development] DobbsianYeti:
What changes are made in this version? I flashed last night to the original unrevolved rom, but restored back because of internet and gmail issues... I see there's a fix for gmail above... any word on a working swype for this yet?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] dB Zac:
droid x?? please share!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] :
I haven't tried the gmail update yet (wondering if Google Chat can be fixed in a similar manner), but swype works if you uninstall the version installed on the ROM, and just install it from the beta site (the beta is open now, I think). That worked for me.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] dB Zac:
is the lock screen suposed to be transparent?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] kentoe:
yeah it is
[Droid Incredible Android Development] DobbsianYeti:
Cool thanks... I just lost patience last night- it was getting late and I didn't have it in me to tinker anymore. Any problems with wifi/3g for anybody else here?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Metallice:
Not a clue.

Be warned though, a lot of people can't get it working. I'm using it now, so success varies.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] barry1685:
Sorry to be noobish but when you wipe your phone to get this rom to work, will you lose you apps/data? (Kind of a dumb question)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] dB Zac:
not digging that, text from my home screen is underlapping the lock screen clock. Way to bussy looking
[Droid Incredible Android Development] DobbsianYeti:
Backup with Titanium first- then you can reinstall apps & data from your SD card.

i still havent tried it as im currently restoring back to stock, this rom really isn't workin out for me.. but its getting good response so far
[Droid Incredible Android Development] barry1685:
awesome thanks!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] dB Zac:
yes. You can use astro file manager to back your apps up or Titanium back up to back up your apps and data (for the apps) but texts, call log, and home screen set ups will be lost
[Droid Incredible Android Development] dB Zac:
thanks man! I love the vanilla 2.2 keyboard with its intuitive punctuations, hope this has that and multi touch!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] luuuuuuukee:
i'm back to stock. even without mutli touch i find the stock keyboard is the best for high speed because mutli touch keyboards like the one i just linked and smart keyboard pro won't register a letter if you release it at the same time as you press another one. if only we could steal the iphone keyboard:eek:
[Droid Incredible Android Development] JustinD2473:
I JUST loaded the new version. So far changes I've seen are ....

- new splash screen (no droid eye) now it says "unrEVOked. Just Painless." on an all white screen.

- lock screen is fixed without having to update anything.

- gmail app still force closes :(

I'll add more fixes as i find them.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] DobbsianYeti:
Cool- thanks... keep us posted. Excited to give it another go 'round if stability/functionality is improved...:)

Installed but restored back to normal, worked nice but couldnt install anything from market, wifi didnt work, and gmail and talk didnt work. Booted tho
[Droid Incredible Android Development] zegolf:
Yeah, I'm noticing that too. Pretty tough to get Titanium backup to work if I can't get to the Market.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Dr.Evil:
I fixed this by unmounting the SD card, then removing and then putting back in and presto the Market was able to download apps again

working gmail

Download and flash the ROM then download both APPS.zip and working gmail.apk from previous posts.

open apps.zip with winrar go to system/app and delete gmail.apk.

rename downloaded gmail-orig.apk to Gmail.apk

then in winrar click add in the upper left hand corner

browse for new Gmail.apk

Close winrar

rename to update.zip

flash in recovery

I installed this rom and I still have traces of the htc sense, many icons, dialer, etc. What did I do wrong? I wiped before installing and installed three times. Still the same outcome.

Most htc sense stuff is still there. Only some has been removed.

It's basicly a vanilla Rom with HTC apps. The rosie launcher is just removed and replaced with another launcher.

That worked! Now I'm having problems getting the gmail app to work. If we can fix that I will be pumped!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] rynosaur:
I'm sorry to be a grinch, but this ROM has wasted my time. It causes google apps problems, white screen/hangs for a number of no particular reasons, and requires a complete wipe. AFAIK, it uses Sense's kernel and framework . . . therefore, not "plain" or "vanilla" in any sense of the word except it has fewer HTC apps and uses a custom launcher.

Regardless of my "taste", I believe we need to push for standards in posting of new ROMs, including, but not limited to:

1. A complete features and caveats list.

2. Complete and unequivocal instructions.

3. It would be nice if the post titles themselves said: WIPE or no-wipe, stable, or testing, EBE or AOSP, etc . .

I'm no newcomer to flashing Android ROMs and I'm confused as to why so many users have to have their phones rendered less useful or useless right off the bat just to try a new ROM. I prefer (and would donate$$ to) quality over quick ups and quantity, after all, this ain't a SIM phone, I need this phone! :D

Devs, thanks for your hard work, let's raise this quest to XDA standards!

This is not aimed *anyone* in particular, I simply feel we need to check ourselves before we have a forum of assorted, mystery, half-functioning ROMs.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Scuk:
how did u find new ROM? its not listed as updated on sodpit website? thanks
[Droid Incredible Android Development] JustinD2473:
It was not updated by the original creator of the rom. Someone at unrevoked touched it up and hosted it on their site.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Scuk:
How did they find the update?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] JustinD2473:
Someone from unrevoked may have emailed somebody to tell them...i don't know.

Either way. Im running the updated rom fine on my phone.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] seanmcd72:
This is all part of trying out roms, especially extremely early roms like this. This is no different than any phone I've had recently Windows or otherwise. Release, test, rebuild, test some more. It's been a few days since we can even flash one so this level of quality is completely expected.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] mrozzeh:
Did you notice how I wasn't the one that made this thread? Never have I once said this was final or even ready for a stable release.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] aaronjb:
Pretty sure that Ryno was offering some constructive criticism to the general audience. My experience with the ROM was better than his, but I wouldn't take his comments personally.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] mrozzeh:
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
[Droid Incredible Android Development] touchpro247:
I appreciate you taking the time to build the ROM. I also posted the full link and not just the ROM so ppl would know where it came from and what was in it also.

Thank you!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] aaronjb:
What we just witnessed is the Internet equivalent of taking the ball and running home.

When you release things to the public and expect only praise, you can expect to be let down. I understand that some people just want to contribute and walk away, but that doesn't discount valid concerns that others may have.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] seanmcd72:
I disagree. The author wasn't looking for praise. I'm not sure why he needed to "run off" but I think he has a valid reason to be miffed. For someone to download this 1 day old rom (that he didn't even post here, someone found it and linked it which wasn't and still isn't quite clear) and then post a complaint that it's "..wasted my time" because it didn't work and or demanding the standards be raised is uber-ridiculous. It's moronic. It's like eating ribs at a restaurant and then complaining that you got sauce on your fingers... I thought it was a joke when I first read it but then realized he was serious... tsk tsk
[Droid Incredible Android Development] JustinD2473:
How could anyone assume that we would have a high quality rom on the first day flashing was unlocked? No matter who made the rom. I also am running this unrevolved rom but it is not perfect. It was practice flashing for a newb to android (me!) And it will show me things to look for in future updates to this rom or in other roms.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] askwhy:
Wasted your time? Are you aware of, or did you completely miss the fact that mrozzeh is part of team unrEVOked, and that if he hadn't invested countless hours of *his time* you wouldn't have a means to even try roms on this phone. His *unreleased* test rom wasted your time? YHGTBFKM.

Yeah, his very first comment was real constructive (see above).

Contribute and walk away?

If you had just spent a month of your time, missing work and sleep to produce multiple hacks for the whole community to use, and someone responded as ryanosaur did regarding something that was not even an official release, would you want to stick around for more? Anyways, he didn't walk away from developing, he just walked away from the waste of time that it would be to bother to defending his work here.

^^ Exactly. The complaint was ridiculous.

Besides the ribs example, it's also like spilling hot coffee on your crotch and complaining to McDonalds, or walking across 4 lanes of traffic and complaining to Google...

It doesn't exactly qualify you for Mensa. It seems like nearly everyone wants to play the victim anymore. "Poor me. *You* wasted my time. You only gave me this much, and I wanted that much." /sigh

At least everyone isn't like that...
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Metallice:
That someone at unrevoked is esmaxwill who is also known as ozzeh, who is the original creator of this rom.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] JustinD2473:
gotcha...i'm new here. didnt know they were the same person
[Droid Incredible Android Development] dB Zac:
the rom isn't perfect, if what isn't working correctly is a deal breaker for you, restore your last rom from your backup you made (ironically made possible in part by this same group of people! it will be moments out of your life, big deal. Keep in mind some people are weighing the pros and cons and deciding to run this rom. Im sure these people are glad this rom has been posted here.

in short, opinions vary and if you don't like it, don't run it
[Droid Incredible Android Development] rynosaur:
Here let me put this in more politically correct terms, and not worry that most of the criticism of my criticism was based solely on my first sentence. Pardon me for not saving my zinger 'till the end:

"I wasted my time trying to make this ROM work on my DI."

I tried the first version, I tried the second version. Stuck on white screen. I tried overflashing and booting, I tried overflashing and factory restoring--this worked to boot the ROM, but all gapps failed or I could not sync with Google. I tried flashing apps then the OC and UV kernels after manually erasing all partitions, and the best I got was an un-syncable ROM or a ROM missing all Gapp functionality altogether. In short, I tried many these and many other things, everything short of asking for a system.img from someone who got either version to boot and sync so I could flash that in fastboot. Then I tried Binny's ROM and it worked on the first shot, then I tried Jaeger's ROM and it worked on the first shot. I looked at pages and pages of confused people not sure when to wipe, what to wipe, what to flash over the ROM--I knew we could do better. Then I sat down and wrote an reply asking for standards in posting so each user knows what he or she is getting into. It happens on other XDA/Android forums, why couldn't it happen here? I was thinking about making my own Post to address how one titles ROM Posts and what info you put in your ROM listings--I guess I should have followod my gut on that one. Oops?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] aaronjb:
If he released the ROM with no support an no guarantee of functionality, then he can't complain when people offer criticism. You can't split that hair both ways. After all, if it's not complete, why take comments personally?

I've been around communities like this long enough to know that "No support, may not work!!" often means, "I only want to hear positive feedback." While I do appreciate the efforts people put into releases such as this, the refrain of, "Hey I said no support, so no complaining!" around these types of projects is all to common.

Having spent a significant amount of time working F/OSS projects, I can say that providing minimal usage guidelines is a part of the project itself, not an afterthought. If software development consisted of just the software portion, we'd all be worse off.

rynosaur was probably a bit testy after spending so much time on this, but he also offered up good points. To reflexively get defensive is to admit that you'd rather the community be insular and self-serving than open with a two-way dialogue. It defeats the purpose of a public release to limit feedback regarding that release to those of a positive nature.

"Please commend me on getting out one of the earliest ROMs for this device, but for the love of jeebus don't complain at all. High-fives only, thanks!" :rolleyes:

May as well keep the software to yourself at that point.
