not sure if this is a known issue but im noticing a constant sync circle in my notification window. ive tried rebooting it 3 times to know avail and i did a full wipe before i flashed the rom (revf)
[EVO 4G Android Development] othersteve:
Try switching batteries. Many of the non-OEM batteries, as you probably know, vary widely in quality and consistency, and most of them lie about their actual capacity.
[EVO 4G Android Development] dwertz:
Not sure if anyone else got this, but I went from Rev3 to the any of the 3.28 roms and this one and I got a FC with Gmail. What I did to stop this is to you the gmail fix on xxxvirusxxx post. Thought I would share if anyone else saw this.

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=7946405&postcount=2

Oh and thanks SteelH for putting out a RevF on the new 3.28 rom
[EVO 4G Android Development] dwertz:
That happened to me a while ago if I sent from a thread that already existed I installed the other Mms.apk. What I mean try a new message and not from a existing one prior to the fix.
[EVO 4G Android Development] auky:
4G could not be turned on in Rev F.. tried that in 2 Evos, same result :(
[EVO 4G Android Development] Evo1X:
2n'd the no 4G

No point in Evo without it :-(
[EVO 4G Android Development] d0cx:
Well...this RevF has major issues. First of all, it does not flash the new kernel. After full data, cache, and davilk cache wipe, followed by flashing RevF, the kernel shows the old one that was in the previous ROM used. Also, wifi is broken as well. Didn't tested 4G as I have no coverage in PR. Back to RevE3 from my nandroid backup.

I'm guessing that the reason for the broken wifi and 4G is because of the kernel not being updated.
[EVO 4G Android Development] toddtwods:
Same results.
[EVO 4G Android Development] chino331:
I'm on Rev F, and I have no problems whatsoever with my 4G and WiFi. Only reason I did Rev F was for the new version of stagefright, so I don't care about the new kernel... I flashed Netarchys fresh kernel on this ROM so I could OC it and get rid of the FPS cap... so maybe because of Nets kernel is why everything is working fine for me.
[EVO 4G Android Development] SteelH:
I'm not getting that.

Just opened gmail, read msg, sent msg, and deleted msgs. No FC.

I agree.

No idea why you are having that problem, mine turns on fine.

I believe you meant to say YOU are having major issues. Wifi and 4G turn on fine for me.

Finally, I have no idea why you are having trouble seeing the new kernel, so here are some pictures to help your eyesight....

Notice the kernel version in RevE & RevE3... Now look at the picture for RevF. The kernel is updated. Case closed. Now look at the last picture, Wifi & 4G do turn on.
[EVO 4G Android Development] d0cx:
Hmm...then I must be doing something wrong. Lets see... I rebooted in recovery... I made a nandroid backup... I wiped data, cache, dalvik-cache... I flashed RevF zip... I rebooted normally... I checked About Phone... says that the installed kernel is the netarchy-toastmod i had installed in RevE... I tried to turn on Wifi... says Error everytime i trigger the checkmark... tried Airplane Mode, same result... I rebooted again... tried to toggle wifi again, says Error... wiped data, cache, dalvik-cache... restored RevE3 nandroid... everything works again.

What did I missed?
[EVO 4G Android Development] SteelH:
Are you using clockwork recovery?
[EVO 4G Android Development] d0cx:
Nope. RA v1.8.0 as in my sig.
[EVO 4G Android Development] stevo11811:
well then someone who has successfully had this work, can you please post what version you upgraded from, and how you did it? with what recovery, because ive tried 3 times in different ways, even starting with a stock froyo build and still have not received the kernel update using RA recovery

little typo, i did perform a full wipe before trying, ill give it a shot with clockwork
[EVO 4G Android Development] SteelH:
Very interesting. My only suggestion for you is to wipe everything you can in AmonRA recovery and try again.
[EVO 4G Android Development] SteelH:
This is a FULL ROM, nowhere did it say it was an update to a ROM. You need to FULLY WIPE before flashing ANY ROM, including RevF.

Before wiping properly, I was running RevE3. And always, I use AmonRA recovery.
[EVO 4G Android Development] d0cx:
I'll do that. Be back in a few minutes.

EDIT: I wiped everything except SD:ext, which I think it has nothing to do with the problem. The ROM doesn't touch that anyways. Installing now.
[EVO 4G Android Development] SteelH:
I flashed to RevF from RevE3 and got the updated kernel.

Then I flashed to RevE3 from RevF and got the older kernel.

Finally I flashed RevF fro RevE3 and once again I was back on the newest kernel.

I always wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache, and wipe dalvik-cache.
[EVO 4G Android Development] stevo11811:
worked, i did the same thing you did d0cx, thanks for the help steelh
[EVO 4G Android Development] d0cx:
I have done your first step... but it still shows the netarchy-toastmod v4.1.8 kernel that I had installed in RevE.3... not the updated one for 3.28.651.1...

Oh... and wifi toggling errors as well. What should I try now? Reflashing back to RevE.3 from zip instead from nandroid, then flashing back to RevF?
[EVO 4G Android Development] SteelH:
Good to know.
[EVO 4G Android Development] d0cx:
i'm downloading a clean RevE.3 zip so i can flash it w/o touching my nandroid backup. i just noticed that my phone self-rebooted while idling on RevF. might be because of the kernel issue... but i really don't know. i have done everything to the letter.

i also just noticed that the RevF download has been pulled from the OP.
[EVO 4G Android Development] kid1000:
maybe thats the problem im wiping everything except for the dalvik-cache because i am on clockwork and dont know where to find it, so can you tell me how to get to it so i can test and check this....thanks
[EVO 4G Android Development] d0cx:
i am not familiar (i never used it) with ClockWork Recovery since i have been using Amon RA everytime. people have stated multiple times that ClockWork Recovery does not flush the dalvik cache correctly so i used Amon RA and it has never given me problems at all.
[EVO 4G Android Development] SteelH:
RevF has been pulled until further testing can be done.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jtc442:
I understand and apologize. Everything is working great and I appreciate all the work. Great rom. I don't try to ask too many questions, but after the leak the other day, there were so many roms saying tether worked, but noone could actually connect. Thanks again!!
[EVO 4G Android Development] m3Jorge:
I am having an issue trying to update google maps to 4.4 version in this rom. Anyone else having this issue? :confused:
[EVO 4G Android Development] Spacen:
Thank you

At the risk of cluttering up what promises to be a lengthy thread, thank you for all of your hard work.
[EVO 4G Android Development] chowder25:
<noob....can I use this on an iphone? Thanks for the links
[EVO 4G Android Development] Bielinsk:
Running great on my 3gs
[EVO 4G Android Development] SteelH:
It runs faster on the iPhone 4G, especially if you grip it *just right*
[EVO 4G Android Development] Bielinsk:
Yea but the 4g only has the 4rth G.

The 3gs (hence the s) has all 3 gs. So 1 + 2 +3 = 6gs as opposed to 4g. So technically, the 3gs is faster.
[EVO 4G Android Development] SteelH:
I just tried and got the "Installation unsuccessful" notification also. I'm going to look into it.

Maps.apk does not have an odex file, you can check netarchys ROM to confirm what I'm saying, so it's not a matter of maps.apk being deodexed wrong, has to be something else causing this.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Spacen:
I got it to work on my 3Gs but only after replacing the battery, sim card and motherboard.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mlr_90:
I am having the same issue. Even removed the maps.apk file before installing. Same result Going to try the Odexed build.
[EVO 4G Android Development] chowder25:
no death grip here
[EVO 4G Android Development] m3Jorge:
I had no issues with the ODEX version that netarchy provided... it is weird because all my other apk's installed not problem.... after trying a couple of things I got it to pop up a better error... it stated that the apk failed certificate validation. :eek:
[EVO 4G Android Development] mlr_90:
Well there is definitely a problem with the de-Odexed version. Google maps 4.4 works fine on the odexed download.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jtc442:
google maps

the update worked fine for me, and im running the deodexed version?
[EVO 4G Android Development] SteelH:
Google Maps Update Issue has been resolved!

Google Maps Update Issue has been resolved!

1. Uninstall google maps from menu/settings/applications/manage applications

2. Do the following adb commands

adb reboot recovery
adb shell
mount /dev/block/mtdblock4 /system
cd system/app
rm -f Maps.apk
cd ..
cd framework
rm -f com.google.android.maps.jar
reboot

3. Once rebooted, go to market and Google Maps 4.4 will install without error.

Alternatively, if you have root explorer you can uninstall google maps and delete the com.google.android.maps.jar from the /system/framework/ directory. Then go to the market and install the new version.
[EVO 4G Android Development] SteelH:
EPIC hands free! Does Steve Jobs give those away with the icrap4?
[EVO 4G Android Development] freeza:
So, is this version borked or what? Is the error specific to this deodexed version?

I'm asking because I am thinking about installing it on a friend's EVO and don't want him to bug me with issues.
[EVO 4G Android Development] BuddaBelly:
Yup I saw this on another site and it worked perfect. Thanks!
[EVO 4G Android Development] kent585:
Works Great!! but hainvg problems with Flash and Browser just keeps closing when you go to have flash web site and
[EVO 4G Android Development] BuddaBelly:
I don't think it's the versions fault at all but market. The only problem I had was with google maps and that has now been fixed with the method shown earlier.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Spacen:
I'm still on E.3. I was about to download F just before it got pulled. I wanted to report on E.3 that Qik won't update, installation failed. Perhaps it has already been reported but I cannot find any mention of it in the thread or OP.
[EVO 4G Android Development] SteelH:
Qik Update FLASHABLE
[EVO 4G Android Development] SteelH:
RevF now up for testing. Please report back any problems.
[EVO 4G Android Development] dwertz:
ok downloading now. Thx

So far the only thing I see is a FC when I try to put the HTC NewsReaderWidget in one of the screens.

- - OK I read in the Desire forum they have the same issue if the HTC NewsReaderWidget is DeOdexed.

.

Also I cant seem to get into ADB now. It does not see the device and I did check the USB debugging
[EVO 4G Android Development] d0cx:
Downloading. Will test later/tomorrow. Thanks SteelH.
[EVO 4G Android Development] xxbabiboi228xx:
No problems here very responsive in fact more responsive than the last ota. I even have mine themed the way I had my last rom.
[EVO 4G Android Development] dwertz:
Have you been able to connect via adb? I can not connect anymore on my mac or windows.
[EVO 4G Android Development] xxbabiboi228xx:
Yes sir im using it right now
[EVO 4G Android Development] dwertz:
ok thanks. Maybe I got a bad download. I will try again.

How about trying to put HTC NewsReaderWidget on? I was getting a FC. I heard there was an issues on other ROMs that were DeOdexed
[EVO 4G Android Development] SteelH:
I can connected to adb as well.

I just tried the news&weather widget, no FC. Hmmm... Can some others please report back if it's working or not for them?
[EVO 4G Android Development] dwertz:
Maybe I got a bad download. I will try again.

SteelH - do you have a md5 so I can double check after I download?
[EVO 4G Android Development] d0cx:
This one seems to be working as expected. New kernel is now successfully installed (confirmed by sluggish transitions and the new version is reflected in Settings -> About Phone -> Software Information), along with working WiFi (can now be toggled off and on, no error). Haven't tested much as of yet since I'm at work and I need my fully working ROM while I'm here.

I'll continue testing RevF in the afternoon. Thanks,
[EVO 4G Android Development] oriondr:
Flashed Rev F last night, the only issue I had was Google Voice became uninstalled, but I reinstalled it and it works. Everything else is working perfectly thus far.
[EVO 4G Android Development] dwertz:
it appears that I can not get adb working on any 3.28.651.1 roms. Although I can get it to work only in Recovery.
[EVO 4G Android Development] TeknoJnky:
Hiyas, can anyone confirm if this updated base rom still has the following error in alogcat after turning ON 4g, then turning OFF 4g ?
[EVO 4G Android Development] kid1000:
Anybody know how to fix this error 67 crap I'm on revE... not saying It's the rom just saying I'm rooted
[EVO 4G Android Development] stevo11811:
good job steel, good rom, only thing i noticed is friend stream wont load for facebook, this might be just me though
[EVO 4G Android Development] stevo11811:
ill let you know when i get home from work if my ADB works
[EVO 4G Android Development] xxbabiboi228xx:
Error 67 when do you get that?
[EVO 4G Android Development] xxbabiboi228xx:
Friendstream wont load the widget or the app itself?
[EVO 4G Android Development] stevo11811:
the widget, probably should have been specific, i can login, and hit refresh, but it never updates, im going to do a wipe and retry tonight, see if it fixes it
[EVO 4G Android Development] d0cx:
well... i tried to use netarchy-toastmod v4.1.8 and v4.1.9.1 beta with RevF and it bootlooped. Doesn't work. I'm reverting to RevE.3 until netarchy-toastmod gets updated with the 3.28.651.1 source, whenever it's available.
[EVO 4G Android Development] stevo11811:
are you even able to use custom older kernels? ive tried 2 and it doesnt work, oh well maybe new rom is built around new kernel? doesnt bother me really i leave mine mostly stock as far as kernels go
[EVO 4G Android Development] d0cx:
it was expected. i just tried them anyway cuz sometimes they might just partially work. anyway, i'll stay with RevE.3 until the kernel i use is updated. i don't really use pandora or slacker that much anyways.
[EVO 4G Android Development] kid1000:
it kept popping up after a phone call and a text message and sometimes at random
[EVO 4G Android Development] oriondr:
OK, now I am getting an issue;

I can no longer sync gmail I get an error:

"The application Gmail (process com.google.android.gm) has stopped unexpectedly. Pleas try again."
[EVO 4G Android Development] dwertz:
Did you do a full wipe?
[EVO 4G Android Development] oriondr:
No, I upgraded from a previous Rev, I believe I was on Rev E.
[EVO 4G Android Development] dwertz:
http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=8025598&postcount=571

This is not an update and requires a full wipe.
[EVO 4G Android Development] oriondr:
Ah, that's a shame; in that case I'll just go back to my last restore.

Is it possible (and what's the best way) to back certain things up like, all your apps and wallpaper/scenes and restore them after a full wipe?

/android noob
[EVO 4G Android Development] dwertz:
Not that I know of. I just use shootme and see how I had it. If you are looking at gmail as the only issue, then try this.

For all your apps I use titanium backup. well worth the money. The free version works also, but paid has automated scripts that installs all of the apps.

This gmail fix apk was originally posted in VirusRom thread.
[EVO 4G Android Development] SteelH:
I believe that apk is v2.2.1 which is newer than what came in this ROM, v2.2. If it fixes the problem please let me know so I can update the ROM. (my gmail is v2.2 and syncs without issue so I can't test it out)

You can just install that from the market.

ADB is working, no reason it shouldn't.

This ROM does have a new kernel. And as kernel's go, they have other modules for things like wifi, etc. So until this new kernel's source gets published and someone like netarchy builds a custom kernel off it, it is highly unlikely a non-stock kernel will work. This is not a limitation specific to this this ROM, the same scenario occurred when Froyo first came out.
[EVO 4G Android Development] SteelH:
I believe TI backup can do that for you.
[EVO 4G Android Development] kid1000:
well Steel once again im still getting that constant loading circle in my notification window, i just flashed the new Rom after a full wipe and of course this wasnt happeing on the last Rom which was also yours E2
[EVO 4G Android Development] SteelH:
Is this the email sync arrow? Perhaps gmail sync issue?
[EVO 4G Android Development] kid1000:
yes, after i did a titanium backup and reboot i got a fc for the gmail account so i went in and cleared the data and that fixed that but once i went back in to the gmail it says your email will appear shortly and in the window it says waiting for sync and does nothing... hope this helps
[EVO 4G Android Development] SteelH:
Try updating your gmail with the apk dwertz posted and let me know if this works.

Did you do a full wipe before flashing RevF? It's not an update, it's a whole new ROM base and a full wipe is necessary.
[EVO 4G Android Development] xxbabiboi228xx:
No syncing issue in notification bar here nor adb issues. Coming from rev e1 modified by me a little bit then I modified revf the same way I modified rev e 1. Modified as in removed some apps from system added some apps to system removed data/app folder configured the framework.res framework.resources and services.jar theming basically.
[EVO 4G Android Development] kid1000:
yes i did a full wipe, where can i go to find this fix and how do i install it...regular flash technic? remember im a noob lol
[EVO 4G Android Development] SteelH:
Post #611. Flash it in recovery mode.
[EVO 4G Android Development] kid1000:
no i defenetly did a full wipe, but unfortunately i only have clockwork and its the older version i have been unable to find the updated version that singles out the dalivk cache... but i will try this fix and report back asap
[EVO 4G Android Development] xxbabiboi228xx:
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=705026

Clockwork that's prob why your having issues awhile back like a month ago people was saying that that recovery was not wiping correctly. Ive always used amon recovery since my HTC hero and had no problems ever.
[EVO 4G Android Development] kid1000:
well i do not have nand unlocked so i cant install that recovery.... and Steel the gmail fix did not work
[EVO 4G Android Development] xxbabiboi228xx:
I see your must be using unrevoked method because when you got your Evo it had 2.2 already loaded on it .
[EVO 4G Android Development] kid1000:
no im using the toast method just dont have the 2nd part down... but on a good note i have uploaded the updated clockworkmod and have just wipe dalvik alone and everything else as normal and reflashed so well find out soon if this remedies the problem
[EVO 4G Android Development] kid1000:
thats a negative fellas, same issue
[EVO 4G Android Development] xxbabiboi228xx:
If you don't do the sec method and unlock your nand then you won't be able to write to system and a lot of problems might occur on your end and not be the roms fault.
[EVO 4G Android Development] kid1000:
i understand that but i get lost with all the moving of files here and there, im not exactly that good with this kind of stuff
[EVO 4G Android Development] SteelH:
Sorry, but as I always state, I don't support clockwork as it is the source of bad wipes. You are having several unique issues, and I have suspected a bad wipe or no wipe from the beginning. Use AmonRA and save yourself the headaches.

You definately want NAND unlocked.
[EVO 4G Android Development] kid1000:
Well i can definetly say that after wiping and going back to the older Rom i do not have any issues an dthis has been the case with every backand forth switch ive done between the 2 roms, so unless the wipe is working for just the older one i cant figure out what the issue is... but on another note, what do you guys think about the unrevoked 3 which i have read roots and unlocks the nand in a simple procedure?
[EVO 4G Android Development] amcfarla:
I have noticed on my phone after updating to this rom that I cannot set up my flickr account, it just doesn't respond when hitting the button to set up the account. Is anyone else having this issue? Thank you.
[EVO 4G Android Development] VanillaIcee:
I too did a clean wipe and have the same problem on the F revision. I tried removing and adding the synced accounts with only a temporary fix.

Any suggestions?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Bigman55434:
I am on rev E3, and am using wireless tether pre-8. I keep having dropped connections, and the only fix is to reboot the phone. Any ideas? I tried pre-7 and same thing.
[EVO 4G Android Development] BlueScreenOfTOM:
Did you try a Dalvik Cache wipe? That fixed some of my Wireless Tether issues. Worst case it doesn't work, but it's painless to try it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Bigman55434:
Yes I did. However, I can only get clockwork recovery to install due to bad blocks (Amon is too big), so I am not sure if the wipe was effective.
[EVO 4G Android Development] SteelH:
After unrevoked2 bricked many people's 4G, I wouldn't touch it.

Do not restore gmail or other account settings, just set them up again. This is a problem because this is a new ROM base, NOT an update/upgrade. Data should be wiped along with dalvik and cache. Read other ROMs threads, you will see many devs telling you that if you don't wipe data, don't complain about problems. Not wiping data when flashing a new ROM can cause all kinds of crap.

There is an AmonRA for people with bad blocks. Check his thread and you will see.
[EVO 4G Android Development] VanillaIcee:
I figured out that the constant sync notification issue is because FriendStream is missing from this latest revision. This is a common problem apparently with custom ROMs. Can this be added to the next revision (unless there is a reason this was pulled other than being bloatware)?
[EVO 4G Android Development] SteelH:
Fixed in RevF1.
[EVO 4G Android Development] kid1000:
you the man Steel and thanks to the guy who discovered the culprit as ive been wanting to run the new Rom.... please let me know when you got the fix up Steel
[EVO 4G Android Development] SteelH:
It's up. Luckily I have crazy BW to upload. :) Be sure to fully wipe everything first though (after making a nandroid backup as always)
[EVO 4G Android Development] kid1000:
i see that but it appears the link is not working its in red like the title
[EVO 4G Android Development] kid1000:
damn nevermind lol
[EVO 4G Android Development] gjlowe:
I just updated to the F1 ROM, which is quite awesome. I have found, however, that the WiFi tethering for root app now only seems to do WEP and not WPA, which it did before. Has anyone else seen this?
[EVO 4G Android Development] gjlowe:
Never mind. I realized that the version in the market was much older. Usually I restore the tether all from my Titanium Backup, but I didn't this time. Thus, I went to the Google Code site and grabbed the latest.
[EVO 4G Android Development] srtpusher:
steelH, when you say wipe do you mean data too? or just cache and dalvik?
[EVO 4G Android Development] superevilllama:
The Google search in your newest Rom is still the old version. Can you post the updated apk here for those running older roms of yours? It is otherwise not updateable through the market.
[EVO 4G Android Development] SteelH:
Not wiping data can cause some strange application errors. Like the one where people are saying they can't sync gmail.
[EVO 4G Android Development] srtpusher:
ok, i was hoping to avoid having to rebuild everything. this ROM combined with netarchy's new kernal is getting me insane battery life (for me - this is 4 hrs usage with 18 hrs standby).

nand backup and away we go!
[EVO 4G Android Development] SteelH:
Which new kernel? I haven't seen him put a new one out recently.
[EVO 4G Android Development] kid1000:
i cant freakn believe it... phones been running now for 14 hours and i still have 41% battery with moderate usage!!!!!
