On a clean installation of RevG (3.29.651.5), I can confirm that Wireless Tether pre14 works as expected.
[EVO 4G Android Development] touringspeed:
man I had RevG clean install decided to try RevH1 thanks for the info will continue to try other pre versions see what works

Odd issue with connecting to PC

Does anyone else have this problem....

Whenever I connect the phone to the PC via USB cable, it automatically goes into "Disk Drive" mode, BUT the phone still says it's in "Charge only".

Even if I ask it to ask me each time, and choose "Charge Only" it auto goes into Disk mode (though it still says it's in charge).

I know this of course because apps on the card won't function and the PC can access the card.

I have a fresh install of RevG so not sure when this started, but it's getting quite annoying.

Anyone ever see this behaviour before?
[EVO 4G Android Development] notmike:
Happy Thanksgiving!

Would you happen to know if this patch you made me will still work on the latest revision? You made it back on 10/9..

Thank you!
[EVO 4G Android Development] bacdoliljo:
Can we get a link for RevG? I have a theory that my 4g on hw003 phone that came with 3.29.651.5 does now work with 3.30.x software... i would like to test.
[EVO 4G Android Development] SteelH:
It's in the OP, has been for quite a while. Also, kernel #17 is there which CAN be flashed on RevG and works finne. I have HW003, and 4G works on RevG and RevH, as well as with and without kernel #17. Having said all that, I do realize not all EVO's are the same, they do weird things. This is why Rev G, H, and H1 are all posted, as well as kernel #17 separately.
[EVO 4G Android Development] bacdoliljo:
Oops. I skipped right past the mirrors and looked for links in the grayed area assuming the red area was for the latest version only. Thanks
[EVO 4G Android Development] oriondr:
Hmm.. starting yesterday my phone's battery has started dropping like a rock, just sitting idle. I got the extended seido battery recently, and it's been great (other than refusing to charge above 96%), but today I woke up and it was at about 50% battery after a full charge up last night. I went into battery usage, and the only thing listed was "phone idle", since I always put it into airplane mode when I sleep.

Would this be an issue with the rom or the battery or something else?
[EVO 4G Android Development] SteelH:
This behavior has been reported with various .3 ROMs out there, and no one knows what it is. The only fix I've sen reported is reflashing after a good wiping.
[EVO 4G Android Development] oriondr:
I just did a reboot, I'll see if it happens again (leaving it off the charger). If it's still messed up, I'll reflash. Thanks for the advice.
[EVO 4G Android Development] oriondr:
Okay, after doing a normal reboot yesterday when I made the last post and going the night in airplane mode this morning when I woke up to a (nearly) full battery.. so the reboot seems to have dealt with the cause of the battery drain.

Before doing the reboot, I noticed something while panning around to the various homescreens; when I went to the homescreen with my FM Radio widget, a message popped up saying it didn't work without headphones. A couple days beforehand I had unplugged my headphones without turning off the FM Radio explicitly, my theory is that doing that leaves some process or piece of hardware running it shouldn't have. Is this crazy or reasonable? ;)
[EVO 4G Android Development] SteelH:
NO idea, but the FM radio does require the headphones as it uses them for the antenna.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Agfadoc:
Just so others know, this works with this ROM great for me too. Better battery life as well, it could be that it is letting me underclock to 128 with the screen off, but what a difference.
[EVO 4G Android Development] oriondr:
I know this, which is why the FM radio is supposed to turn off when you unplug the headphones.. yet it gave me that message days later ( I dont pan to that homescreen often heh )
[EVO 4G Android Development] SteelH:
Yeah, that is weird. Nothing was touched, so that's a stock OTA problem.
[EVO 4G Android Development] oriondr:
Just wanted to get your thoughts on it, didn't think it had anything to do specifically with your (brilliant) work :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] gjlowe:
I am getting a "Mandatory Voicemail update" alert notification, but the update fails every time. I have tried rebooting the phone as well. Anyone else seeing this update today? I am on H1.
[EVO 4G Android Development] gjlowe:
Well...for some reason my 3rd reboot and 6th attempt worked to update the voicemail app. Strange.
[EVO 4G Android Development] DroidGnome:
Just FYI I solved my problem... It seems WinAMP decided to auto-enable a setting that auto-mounts your SD card when USB is attached. The default setting is ENABLED in case others have this issue.

I hate it when developers reassign default behavior of my device without telling me upfront! :mad:
[EVO 4G Android Development] strongsteve:
I just changed from H1 to G. There is now 100 meg less space. Why is that? It is deodexed, right? Has dalvik been moved to the cache partition??
[EVO 4G Android Development] d0cx:
No. As far as I know...this rom doesn't have any of those modifications. You can either flash a custom kernel with those features committed...or you can try and make those scripts yourself.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jorpe:
wow thanks this just saved me from chucking my phone off a bridge.
[EVO 4G Android Development] gjlowe:
So I am confused after reading through the last couple of pages...is there a current combination of H1 and one of the tethering apps that allow 4G tethering?
[EVO 4G Android Development] SteelH:
Some have reported it works for them, others say no. No one has any specific version or reasons as to why or why not. What rom people come from, what they wipe or don't wipe, etc, are a few variables that come to mind. Bottom line, try it and see if it works for you.

RevG is .2 based and wifi tether works fine with it (4g as well).
[EVO 4G Android Development] DroidGnome:
I just got 4G where I work (not at home *Grumble lying sprint bastards grumble*)..

While I don't have a PC that I can test, a friend has another android so I'll see if he can wi-fi to mine on 4g next monday when I'm in the office :)

Ohh I should add that my Rev G (older Test version supplied by SteelH) + Kernel Updates + Tether 2.05-pre13 = Working 3G Tether
[EVO 4G Android Development] meyerweb:
Please exuse some noob questions

I admit I haven't read every page of this thread. I have to sleep sometime. :)

Anyway, I'm currently running a rooted (unrevoked 3) stock 2.1 ROM. I've flashed AmonRA recovery. I've downloaded the ROM from page 1 of this thread. Two questions:

Do I need to rename the ROM to install.zip? Where on the SD card does it need to go?

On page 4 of this thread it says to make sure I have the latest wi-max and regular radio files. How do I check that, and if I need to update them can you point me to a thread about that?

Many thanks,

Bob
[EVO 4G Android Development] SteelH:
You don't need to rename the zip file, it goes in the root of the sdcard. Wimax, radio, PRI, etc are all updated separately; you don't have to update them, but if you want to the are separate.
[EVO 4G Android Development] meyerweb:
Thanks!

Thanks SteelH. I guess I'll be trying this tonight.
[EVO 4G Android Development] surfologist87:
I just flashed H1 and got it all situated, and now the wireless tethering isnt working, so I was thinking of trying G. Do i have to wipe before moving from H1 to G?

Thanks
[EVO 4G Android Development] SteelH:
Yes you do. Also, after you flash RevG, you can use the latest kernel as well with it. A flashable version is in the OP.
[EVO 4G Android Development] surfologist87:
Thanks very much. I am using the sprint hotspot now, and it seems to work well for me, so ill give this a try and keep using it.

My battery went down a little quicker than i think normal, so im going to keep an eye on that today.

Great work and thanks.

EDIT: If you have any other suggestions for kernels to try out let me know, Im starting to get a little more drain today.

Other than that im just going to try a few
[EVO 4G Android Development] kevinditra:
do you need to have sprints hot spot service for 30 a month in order to use the sprint hotspot app or does that not matter when your using a rooted rom?
[EVO 4G Android Development] surfologist87:
Flasht the fix in the first post..

Then you can open up and use the sprint hotspot. There is no charge
[EVO 4G Android Development] kevinditra:
thanks. also in this rom i keep getting the voicemail mandatory update. can i do it do it through the popup they give me or is there a fix on here that i need?
[EVO 4G Android Development] SteelH:
Just click on the phone and update it. Simple.
[EVO 4G Android Development] fixxxer2008:
how in the world do we add an epic style battery with percentage to this rom? i tried and im always stuck in a bootloop. :(
[EVO 4G Android Development] fixxxer2008:
i have a request for a version of this rom to be made with a battery percentage built in by default. is that possible to do?
[EVO 4G Android Development] SteelH:
Flash THIS on top of your ROM.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Agfadoc:
Did a Nandroid backup and flashed the smooth sense 1.0.4 from that link which so far works great, can I now flash one of the multicolor circular battery icons because this is a percentage based icon now?
[EVO 4G Android Development] SteelH:
You'll have to ask about the person who made the MOD.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Agfadoc:
Sorry SteelH, I thought you had that on yours.. My bad. I appreciate the help.
[EVO 4G Android Development] SteelH:
I knew smooth sense worked only because I tried it, that's why I suggested it. All the battery mods change out your framework-res.apk which can be hairy at times. I tell ya what, tell me which bettery MOD you want and I'll make a MOD for you.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Agfadoc:
Thanks SteelH, a multicolor circle with percentage in the center would be great ike the one on this link:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=819568

I was about to flash the stock rom one to find out, but I trust you more.. ;)

Thanks man.
[EVO 4G Android Development] SteelH:
OK. Do a nandroid as ALWAYS first! Then try flashing this and let me know your results.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Agfadoc:
Holly Crap SteelH... You ... are... the ..man!!!

Thanks Works great!!
[EVO 4G Android Development] SteelH:
Merry Christmas, enjoy.
[EVO 4G Android Development] fixxxer2008:
didn't work, i think you need a modded services jar to add the battery percentage. besides the fact i already have several themes on my phone currently.
[EVO 4G Android Development] fixxxer2008:
heres the epic battery icons i want to use and my current framework-res.apk. as you can see i have alot of themes going right now and i do not want to loose them. can anybody help me out here?
[EVO 4G Android Development] SteelH:
Give me a bit and I'll see what I can do. If you have other framework-res MODs it may be difficult for me.

Since I'll have to work over your framework-res.apk, you seen these spinners?
[EVO 4G Android Development] fixxxer2008:
appreciate it. i do not think modding the battery icons should bother my other themed png's in there.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Agfadoc:
It could be that I flashed the smooth sense first and then flashed yours over the top, but there was a bug in that the volume and media levels when changed, it would try to be the circular please wait icons, instead of the long green bar. kind of funky, so I am restoring from prior to the original smooth sense and then going to try yours all by itself.

:Update:

The smooth sense you created removed the green bar when using the volume up and down with the please wait circular icon, it functions as normal but the green bar is gone. It isn't that important, so no worries here, just so you know.

The battery worked perfectly though.

Edit 2

The original smooth sense is the culprit, your part worked great. Flashed the original and the problem is in there.
[EVO 4G Android Development] SteelH:
Nandroid first of course! Then flash this and see if it works for ya.
[EVO 4G Android Development] fixxxer2008:
thank you, worked great!
[EVO 4G Android Development] fixxxer2008:
spoke too soon i guess, force closes on the phone and settings.apk now. :(

guess later ill flash a rom with native percentage support. thanks anyways steelh.
[EVO 4G Android Development] SteelH:
You running H1 or?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Agfadoc:
I am running H1 and used his after a fresh install ( I know..thief..) Same thing for me, so I assume he is too. FYI
[EVO 4G Android Development] Davidp65:
Sprint hotspot

Hi,

I noticed that from your rev H to H1 you have the sprint hotspot fix as a separate download. Was it removed from the H1 revision?

Is 4g working on your H1 rom? I didn't see a list of what is not working? It's probably in one of the 100 posts.

Regards
[EVO 4G Android Development] SteelH:
Read the OP, this is clearly answered there.
[EVO 4G Android Development] oodlexaps:
Some more info if it helps: I am running H1 (went from G to H w/o wiping about the time SteelH released it).

When I flashed Smooth-Mods today I got force closes in settings from at least 2 apps (I did reboot and confirm).

After nand restoring the settings were working in those apps.

Not blaming Smooth or anything else, just hoping the data helps.

"[ROM] RUU SuperSonic EvO 3.70.651.1 OTA - Stock - Sense - Deodexed & Odexed Version"

I know it won't have the reboot menu "4-in-1 Power Options added" Or will it?

I guess what I"m asking is whether or not there's a good reason to stick with Steel's vs another 'stock' ROM? With other ROM chef's they typically add items, remove items, etc... but am I correct in that SteelH's has nothing added?

If it does have items added/removed, could someone post a list?

Right now my Evo has been working great.. Using revision "G", I can Tether 3G and 4G just fine using Wireless Tether (Though USB tethering has been buggy for me). I was able to test 4G in orlando this past weekend, worked like a charm.

The only 'issue' I've had at all is that for some strange reason, my laptop can see more WiFi hotspots than the Evo Can.. though that's most likely a result of a radio vs a ROM anyway.

Don't even know if I'm going to upgrade just yet.. but should I do , wondering if it matters which "Stock Deoxed ROM" I use.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Compusmurf:
Steel's usually has the menu added, a2sd added and everything fully checked out.
[EVO 4G Android Development] notmike:
Hi SteelH, I saw that there are updated framework resource files.. While you are in there doing your magic, can you make another flashable zip that turns the notification tray transparent and gets rid of the GPS icon? I imagine if I use the one you made me last time on this new ROM I'd run into some issue no doubt...

Thank you very much either way

I really like this rom but I was wondering if you zipaligned or optimized all of the apk's to reduce the impact on the memory footprint. Just wondering because I do not know how to take a shot at it myself.

usb tether

hey steel or anyone who might know, does calks usb tether zip work on this new update? thanks
[EVO 4G Android Development] jauger:
I flashed without wiping data or cache and came out ok...but 9 times out of 10 this wouldnt work..nandroid
[EVO 4G Android Development] mjhuffer:
Ya man there are different framerworks in the newest OTA so i would go ahead and wipe but you might be able to get away with just flashing over the old version.
[EVO 4G Android Development] triscuit1983:
I tried it, and (for me) it doesn't boot. Just hangs at the splash screen.

I also tried Calks 4-in-1 Reboot mod, and it is doing just fine. At least I haven't noticed anything failing yet.
[EVO 4G Android Development] SteelH:
All APKs are zipaligned.
[EVO 4G Android Development] SteelH:
Nice to know, I tired including it in the ROM and it wouldn't boot so I left it out. If it works for you then you can uninstall quickboot (they do the same thing). I'll keep trying to get it incorporated.

Here you go.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mjhuffer:
Constant Zipalign

I appreciate the fast response. I assumed so I was just making sure. Is there a script or app you can install that will allow you to zipalign all the new apps on every boot without installing A2SD. I ask this just because I use a ton of apps and I wanted to keep the memory footprint as small as possible.
[EVO 4G Android Development] SteelH:
I do not know the answer to that question. I know I have seen a few ROMs say they do that, but I do not know how. I'll try and figure that out this weekend when I have more time.
[EVO 4G Android Development] d0cx:
Flashed. Did full data/cache/dalvik-cache wipe due to the massive changes. So far, eveything's working.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Compusmurf:
Rev I with a2sd installed and working.

Note of interest. Can't uninstall "junk apps" like nascar, etc with Titanium Backup???
[EVO 4G Android Development] SteelH:
It's a stock ROM with the least amount of changes, so yeah, that's normal. Use root explorer or TI backup to delete the apks. Or delete them (the apks u don't want) from the install zip prior to flashing.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Compusmurf:
That's what I'm saying. Titanium backup SAYS it uninstalled and removed them, but it didn't. Very odd.

I'll be trying root explorer and doing it manually.
[EVO 4G Android Development] SteelH:
PM me if you need it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Compusmurf:
That was one of my MUST HAVE apps. :)

I'm doing a TB of my stuff first before removing them.

QIK, Nascar, Kindle. Those have to go for sure. I have to glance over my notes to see what else I usually remove and dump safely. I was just shocked that TB didn't uninstall them like it usually does.
[EVO 4G Android Development] SteelH:
I'd be willing to bet dollars to donuts that TB will come out with an update soon that is compatible with the newer ROM base. My guess is there's something slightly different that is causing that issue.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jauger:
I was shocked TB failed to remove apk's, but theres a app called System App Remover that did the job for me....
[EVO 4G Android Development] leenypost:
Yep, system app remover works great. it was developed over at sdx I believe.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ICEReaction:
I think if you hit 'Problems?' and install the busybox from TB (1.16.0 instead of the newer 1.17 or 1.73 or whatever) it will work.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Compusmurf:
I tried that too. Still nothing.

I ripped them out the "hard way". LOL.

Anyone tired things like the % battery mods, etc?
[EVO 4G Android Development] ICEReaction:
Still no go? Hmm...this was discussed over in the mikfroyo thread. Someone also mentioned you have to enable 'Chuck Norris mode' in preferences.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Compusmurf:
Good catch, I know that's turned off. I'll go try that.
[EVO 4G Android Development] oriondr:
Do the mods for translucent notification tray & removing the reticule status icon still work with this newest update?

Hmm, if Titanium Backup doesnt work, I may have to hold up on upgrading...
[EVO 4G Android Development] jauger:
most mods for Sense I've tried still work ( nandroid first)..Titanium is working, it's just not unstalling apps right...
[EVO 4G Android Development] oriondr:
Oh okay. I'm nandroiding now. Will post back on success/failure ;)
[EVO 4G Android Development] SteelH:
My guess would be no since 3.70 uses a newer/different framework. But as always, nandroid, then try it and see. Sometimes those mods work because the older framework is still compatible, and sometimes it's not.

What specifically are you referring to? If you do the mod yourself using the directions in my other thread to remove them, then yes. If you download some flashable zip file to do it for you, probably not.
[EVO 4G Android Development] fastamx79:
I know this isn't Steel's fault, but you'd think that HTC/Sprint would finally have the phone display 1x or 3G when in those areas and not 3G regardless..

Anyways.. I'd figure I would chime in about Titanium, and at least for me I haven't had any issues restoring/deleting stuff in it
[EVO 4G Android Development] oriondr:
Okay, I tried your translucent tray & GPS icon removal patches, they stuck my phone in infinite reboot, so I guess the answer is no, they don't work :P
[EVO 4G Android Development] cniels01:
TB worked for me out of the box. I installed the stock rom yesterday after doing a full wipe and then used TB for all of my settings. Today when Steel released I, I wiped the cache and dalvik and flashed I over the top. I also installed all of the newest firmware. Everything including Wireless tether RC1 works great!
[EVO 4G Android Development] Compusmurf:
You restored with TB, but did you try uninstalling any SYSTEM apps?
[EVO 4G Android Development] cniels01:
I uninstalled the system apps using 7zip on my windows pc. As long as you open the archive and don't extract you can delete whatever app you want.
[EVO 4G Android Development] fixxxer2008:
can you make a flashable zip of just the new kernel for us?
[EVO 4G Android Development] fastamx79:
Are you referring to this...?
