It's weird but I was having issues with 4g as well. Would turn on 4g and have a strong signal, but when I ran speedtest, it would never break 1meg a sec. Was getting upset because I have great 3g speeds of almost 2meg a sec late nights, 1.5 megs peak usage times. However, I went to visit my son this evening and when I ran speedtest at his house, I was amazed at 5-6 megs a second consistant. I am really starting to believe that the problem is Sprint's 4g service is really, really, really ****ty at times. Until 4g becomes like 3g now, it will always be spotty. I remember the growing pains with power vision when it first came out about 7 years ago and now after evdo rev a and all the updates to the system, those early day issues are unheard of now on 3g. Another way to look at it "Grandfather Clause" 5 years from now when 4g gets perfected and they put a funky cap on 4g usage for new customers.

Agreed......
[EVO 4G Android Development] R32_Rocky:
I posted the same complaint some pages back, with no replies. I have been trying to install the Task List and Google Translator widgets since 1.5 came out, with zero success. There are even a few that show updates available, but won't work either.
[EVO 4G Android Development] stanglifemike:
Sorry guys, I'm not sure what the issue is with HTC widgets. I don't use Sense and don't even have it in my ROM, I was hoping that some one with Sense would chime in on that.

Rocky, as far a what the clear lock screen that I posted changes, I am not sure. I know it changes a couple icons that I posted a screen shot of, and I thought that some one else posted that those were the only items it changed but I don't remember for sure..

Hi Rocky,

I have experienced (and still have) that same issue with HTC widgets not being able to be installed/updated on v1.3.1, so it's something that's been around for a few versions (didn't flash v1.4, but would be surprised if the issue wasn't also present there).

Personally, I'm still trying to figure out what my issue is with Market on v1.5 and the strange force closes. I can update an app on v1.3.1 without problems, immediately Nandroid that set-up, 2X wipe everything, restore v1.5 and attempt an update of the same app and, bam, hit that force close. Since this is being done in a 30 min period and different times of the day, I can't imagine that its problems on the Market's end. I even tried clearing the data from Market thinking that something might have been corrupted there, but that didn't help.

Anyone else besides Sgt. Slaughter and myself running into this? While I would like to use v1.5 daily, I'm happy with the stability and tweaks I have on v1.3.1, just would like to understand what's behind the Market issue.

I'm also experiencing the Market force closes in 1.5.
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
the Rosie signatures must match the htc widgets ones... and they dont... thats why u cant install them... but u can d/l.

i had the same issues with my rom in the past... but, instead of resigning all the downloadable htc widgets i simply replaced all the ones with the original ones from the 3.30 rom.

u guys can do the same.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ewilson:
I'm also getting this and force close on the HTC.world clock what's up with this
[EVO 4G Android Development] R32_Rocky:
Hate to ask, but how do you do that? Install the 3.30 ruu, copy them (somehow? Where would they be located then?), then reapply? Because I really do need that task widget bad. Being, errr, somewhat older, with a million things to try and keep track of (#1 on list - find A NEW JOB), that widget looks to fit my needs. I have some to do list programs off the market, but they don't look as good as the HTC one for what I need.

Halo, in regards to the market updates and FC's, I did not encounter that exact same problem, but I had a somewhat similar problem before. The market would show I had program updates, so I would select them. The market would download the updates, but then just sit there and do nothing forever. Sadly, can't remember what I did exactly to fix that (that damn "age" vs memory loss problem), but did you try these:

* use Titanium Backup to fix the market links?

* use Rom manager to fix permissions?

* in RA recovery, did you try the fix uid problems?

* use titanium backup to manually uninstall, then do a complete new install?

I think I had done all of the above-mentioned, and it started to install the updates like normal again.

Mike, before I reimaged with the latter updated 1.5, and so it was time for "what the heck........", I tried to install your clear unlock zip file, but it failed for some reason. I use RA 1.8 recovery too.

*** NEW PROBLEMS:

I tried to flash lcars's cool boot animation, based on the Star Trek computer, complete with the female voice (quite awesome to see/hear by the way). RA showed it successfully completed, but still had the Calk "X" animation. Darn it :'(

Next - I love Calk's cool new static wallpapers, but I had wanted to put back in the original HTC ones, as well as some cool ones from the Virus RC4.1 ROM. I found the folder they are in, or at least thought I did???? The system/resources folder was where I found wallpapers inside, so imagine that was where to copy them to, which I did. Now when i went to select the HTC wallpaper to use, there were just 4 grey screens. Select any of those, and would get an error saying the phone memory was FULL. Nothing I would do afterwards would stop that error, or show the pics again, till I reimaged the Rom. Ouch! And note - there was plenty of space, so can't figure out why I would get that error.

Lastly, read my other post a few pages back about Darkmoor's apps2sd install. I think you might find it of interest. Spare Parts has never shown my EXT3 partition as in use. But after the install, it now showed in use, as well as disk space and usage. The install is not on the market, nor on AppBrain. I had to do a Google search to find it somewhere. If needed, I could try to upload it here, or send it to one of you who have the rights to add files.

Hope I have been of some help?
[EVO 4G Android Development] R32_Rocky:
Oh and Halo, I read somewhere, was it in here or from another Rom???? But it was mentioned there was a problem with the marketplace on the 3.30 ruu, so the Rom chef chose instead to cook in the marketplace from the 3.29 ruu, and it turns out it was actually a NEWER version than what came on the 3.30 base Rom. Go figure? But maybe try that.
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
i would hate to give the whole explanation on how-to do this...

the thing is that since u probably want to keep calk's 5 row icons and remapped right side push to the browser... it would get messier...

i wouldn't mind putting up a zip that will fix that for u... but i dont have time to do it now... i could have gone the easy way out and simply d/l that widget for u and resign using calk's signature. but i dont have it... and im really not sure how he resigned it or with what cert.

anyways... if u dont mind losing his tweaks on Rosie and all the pngopt he did... u can simply d/l the stock rom dedoxed zip and pull out of the system/app all the htc widgets... then just push them into your rom /system/app folder and it should work... if it still giving u problems... u should clear dalvik-cache.

i know im not really solving the problem for u... but i cant right now... maybe u can try what my suggestion with the stock rom since u really need that widget, and wait until a fix will pop up.
[EVO 4G Android Development] R32_Rocky:
Thanks for trying anyway aamikam, and you are right. Too much to mess with, and possibly screw up too many things for just one widget. Oh well :(

Halo, here is what I was talking about below. It's from that Azreal Rom, post #1:
[EVO 4G Android Development] meatgel:
I was getting FCs when downloading in the Market, and I found a thread (Halloween night) that had an updated Market apk ... of course I can't find that thread now. Anyway, I installed that apk and haven't had any issues since. YMMV

Hope this helps. It didn't make any changes that I can see.
[EVO 4G Android Development] stanglifemike:
The only changes in the new Market is that some countries that could not buy paid apps now can...
[EVO 4G Android Development] th3b055:
Yes, something is wrong with 4G and the web browser. I had been posting it when the first 1.5 link was first given. Hopefully there is a fix or guess just flash 1.4 and wait for 1.6

[EVO 4G Android Development] Igzekyativ:
I got a 2700 mah battery so I can leave gps, 4g (when it works) and wifi on all day and it will only get down to 45% by the end of the day with light use and run out fully with heavy use. So I'm down with ziggy's speed!
[EVO 4G Android Development] Berat:
Anyone having Market download issues?
[EVO 4G Android Development] cdred:
to tell you the truth, I really liked Ziggy's #28 BFS kernel. The speed was to die for but was having issues with 4g being stable. Battery life wasn't that much of an issue because I keep it plugged in on my desk at work and at home. Used the netarchy kernel that came with 1.5 and was having the same 4g issue. Went to Kings 11 CFS and phone slowed to a crawl. Quadrant scores never broke 1000. Gonna try Kings 11 BFS and see. 4g is here in Durham, NC which was one of the first test markets but was ALWAYS spotty. Didn't work too well in the house, had to go stand out in my yard for 4g to work:mad:.
[EVO 4G Android Development] halocaridina:
Hi Rocky and meatgel,

Thanks for the info on the issue with the Market application and for posting the alternative Vending.apk, respectively. It crossed my mind right after I posted that the application itself might be the root of the issue, so its nice to hear that a simple flash might make it disappear.

Meatgel, on Calk's update of the OP, he listed Market as being upgraded to v2.0.7. So is what you attached v2.0.8 (the newer one from Azrael's ROM)? If so, I'll flash it this weekend and let everyone know if the situation has been fixed (since individuals like Berat also posted above regarding issues with Market downloads).

Aamikam, thanks for the info on the HTC widgets. Didn't realize they are tied in with the signature for Rosie.

Cheers.
[EVO 4G Android Development] brol1k:
I don't hAve any 4g issue whatsoever. In fact my speeds couldn't be better, for the ones saying "when 4g is like 3g" it will never be the same because they're totally different technologies. Some of you have to learn to mix and match roms with kerneles, take your time to see what works..

I also experience issues with 4g. I don't think it is a 4g issue.

Everything works with great speed. Tethering, youtube, maps, speedtest app, and so on. Everything but the browser :) the browser hangs usually after loading 50% of a site. So it looks like that the built in browser has an issue with 4g at least on this rom. But to be fair I havent tested the stock rom for a long time. The same issue could be there as well.

PS I also tried kings 11, na 4191cfs and na 421 cfshavs.

[EVO 4G Android Development] halocaridina:
Hi everyone,

For those with Market force close issues, it appears to be associated with the v2.0.7 Market (Vending.apk) of 3.30.651.2.

Following suggestions from others who were great to post that they saw the exact or similar problem in other ROM threads, I went ahead and yanked the above package out of Azrael's ROM (he made specific note of a Market problem being addressed in his v2.41 release notes) and transplanted it into Calk's v1.5. Following a reboot, the force close hasn't occurred, so fingers crossed that the problem is cured.

One specific note: Azrael mentioned that the Vending.apk was UPGRADED, suggesting that its version number would be higher than v2.0.7 of the 3.30 base. However, its actually a lower version (Market v1.8.2) that is identical to what is packaged in Calk's v1.3.1 ROM (3.29 base), so its actually a DOWNGRADE that fixes the problem.

Hope this proves useful to others with the Market force close issue.

Cheers.

Dialer w/haptic feedback and Camera shutter sound

Calkulin,

I have tried several ROMS and yours is the best. Appearance, speed, and battery life is awesome compared to stock. I just was hoping to get two things back. 1. Is it posible to post zip file for dialer with haptic feedback. i really like that feature. 2. Can you provide a file that will enable camera shutter sound? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks again for a great ROM!
[EVO 4G Android Development] R32_Rocky:
halo, keep me informed if that stays working for you, please? Good news for me, and perhaps others - I found that my Titanium backup has TWO backups for Marketplace! One is the current problematic 2.07, but the older backup from 10/31 shows version 1.8.2, so I would be able to just do a restore. If that is the case, the rest of you might also have the install you need without having to do a search for it.

Hey calk, man the 1.5 is the best rom so far that I've tried for the evo and I've tried a few. Battery life is the best by far on any rom I've tried.

[EVO 4G Android Development] R32_Rocky:
Hmm, this made me wonder. As the EVO has Bluetooth, has anyone made an app where the EVO could also become a remote control for the PS3? Because there is a BT remote out from SONY for use with DVD/BD movie playback. I know there is already Pocket Blu out, but that is only for special Pocket Blu enabled movies, and only works through WiFi. Just a thought......
[EVO 4G Android Development] pseudo_nomen:
As just another data point, I'd be thrilled if we had an actual, functional sense based bluetooth stack to use.

Not that swype and a great touch screen aren't perfectly functional, but it'd be ridiculously nice to be able to use a bluetooth keyboard and mouse with the Evo.

Pop out the kickstand, unroll your roll up/fold up travel BT keyboard and you're golden for long-ass emails to the boss, decent document editing, anything really. Makes my $300 netbook even that much more useless :-)

Hi Rocky,

So after updating ~8 apps and installing a handful of new ones, I haven't experienced a force close using the "transplanted" Market v1.8.2 in place of v2.0.7 that came with EViO v1.5. While YMMV, I would suggest making the downgrade (but please do a Nandroid just in case).

Please let us know how it goes.

Cheers.
[EVO 4G Android Development] halocaridina:
Hi sgt. slaughter,

Please see attached for the HD Flip clock. I extracted this from Myn latest ROM (RC3, if I'm not mistaken) and repacked it into a zip that I found of SkyRaider's original mod (to ensure it was the latest, working copy). Flashed it from RA recovery last night and its been running great for the last 24 hrs.

I originally had the non-animated clock on the screen prior to the flash and tested it by removing-adding back. No problems (unlike the previous version that FCed). But again, please Nandroid prior to the flash just in case.

Please let us know how it works.

Cheers.

(UPDATED NOV 8th, 2010: Sorry but zip removed since not working as expected.
[EVO 4G Android Development] sgt. slaughter:
Now I'm at a loss. must be because its super early here. Flashed it via RA and the clock on my home screen doesn't flip when I unlock the phone at all. Tried adding a new clock and same thing.

Now when I go into root explorer into the system/app folder the htcclockwidget.apk shows its from Aug8 still but its the one from the flash as if I try to install it doesn't say "clock" at the top of app installer and instead says "2010/09/17 00:00" If I move the copy I made of the original clock.apk via root explorer it will say "clock" at the top of app installer. Again I did flash and was only messing in root explorer to see if I could find anything else out. Also if you try to install the apk that was flashed it fails too. I did notice the read/write permissions were different on that .apk than any of the others. User didn't have read/write/Execute, while group had all 3, and others had read/execute access.
[EVO 4G Android Development] halocaridina:
Hi sgt. slaughter,

Hmmm, weird. When I originally flashed the attached zip, the flip was immediately apparent following the home screen unlock.

I assume that you are running more-or-less stock EViO v1.5? I've got a similar set-up, though I did modify my framework-res and com.htc.resources apk's in various ways (like adding the anim folder from LowRider and turning up the animation speeds via SpareParts). Don't think that would lead to the clocking flipping/not flipping.

I remember that under Menu-Settings-(I think)Display, there is an option for having no, some or all animations/transitions. You might want to check if that option is in the off position.

Other than that, I'm in the same boat as you (at a loss). Would someone else be willing to flash the zip I attached to see if it works on your set-up? Nandroid in advance and thanks in advance for any replies.

Cheers.
