Yeah, the new stock kernel is great. I go 14 hours at work and still have like 40%
[EVO 4G Android Development] TeknoJnky:
to answer my own question...

NO 3.28 does NOT fix the error after turning off 4g.
[EVO 4G Android Development] SteelH:
4G works fine in this ROM. I'm not sure of the significance of an error message you are getting in logcat.
[EVO 4G Android Development] TeknoJnky:
4g does work fine.

turning OFF 4g, does not work fine.

E/Wimax (108): <DC CONNECT> IO error: msg='/127.0.01:7771 - Connection refused'
[EVO 4G Android Development] SteelH:
Interesting. I turn it on and off every day without trouble. I'll install logcat and see it I can see the same thing you are seeing.
[EVO 4G Android Development] TeknoJnky:
theres a thread on sprint forums about it, but no solution

[EVO 4G Android Development] oikjdfkrjhr:
Is Rev F1 a beta? It says beta testing next to the mirror link.

Which is the latest stable ROM version? THanks!
[EVO 4G Android Development] vedavin:
Ditto question :o
[EVO 4G Android Development] TeknoJnky:
the E3 links right below the one marked beta would be a good assumption...
[EVO 4G Android Development] VanillaIcee:
The flickr apk has been removed from this release, so that is the reason why it does not work. You may be able to download the apks from another release.

I too recommend it should be added, as even though it is a form of bloatware it is too heavily integrated into the HTC interface and is not heavily resource intensive (it doesn't load if not enabled).
[EVO 4G Android Development] toddtwods:
I'm trying to flash the new netarchy kernel with this ROM: Beta: 4.1.9.1 w/HAVS as well as the stables http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=719763, but I'm getting boot loop problems. I'm using Amom_RA and clearing all caches, and I re rooted everything but still no luck. Any help please? Which kernel should I use with this ROM?

Thanks
[EVO 4G Android Development] SteelH:
Flick.apk is in RevF1. Look in /system/app/. If you don't have it you need to reinstall RevF1 because it's in the zipfile.

You need to ask in the thread of whatever it is you are flashing. That kernel source (netarchy's) is based of the older source, so that's potentially the problem.

I see it, trying to figure it out.
[EVO 4G Android Development] toddtwods:
Sorry, thanks SteelH. Should the kernel I'm using be 2.6.32.15-g3a8614e htc-kernel@and1802 #7? That's the one that popped up when I flashed this. Which do you use?

Thanks!
[EVO 4G Android Development] SteelH:
Same one, that's the stock kernel. Battery life is really improved.
[EVO 4G Android Development] toddtwods:
Nice, thanks.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Hollawood12:
I've been having trouble with Wi-Fi and wireless tethering. i have the 3.26.651.6 and im about to flash the 3.28, but is there something i could do to fix the wi-fi and tethering before hand?
[EVO 4G Android Development] SteelH:
I am using pre7 with no problems.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Hollawood12:
So do you think by flashing 3.28, maybe those two things will work again? Is pre7 wireless tethering app?
[EVO 4G Android Development] SteelH:
pre7 is wireless tethering.
[EVO 4G Android Development] klbjr:
Thought the 4.1.9.1. was only for 2.1 Roms. Maybe why your having problems.
[EVO 4G Android Development] gjlowe:
I believe, based on the front page of the netarchy thread, that the 4.1.x ROMs are for 2.2 and the 3.x ROMs are for 2.1. I too found the phone to go into a reboot loop after trying to flash any of the 4.1.9.1 or 4.1.8 ROMs.
[EVO 4G Android Development] gjlowe:
Just checked the thread again, and someone did say that the kernel in F1 is newer than all of the netarchy kernels, so that is likely what the issue is.
[EVO 4G Android Development] SteelH:
It is, just look at the ROM version #
[EVO 4G Android Development] SteelH:
Here's a couple of MODs for RevF1:

They remove the GPS icons (look HERE) & battery or just the battery icon from your status bar. I use battery droid widget so I didn't need/want the battery in the status bar.

As always, make a nandroid backup BEFORE flashing ANYTHING. This way if you don't like it, it don't work, or you change your mind you can go right back.
[EVO 4G Android Development] chino331:
Use the 4.1.9.1 fresh compatible kernel, working fine for me on this rom
[EVO 4G Android Development] Minjin:
How is everyone's voice search? I'm still on E3 and while I did the manual updates via delete and reinstall, I'm getting a lot of force closes. It's a shame because it seems like an awesome feature the few times it has worked without FCing.

I also had to delete and reinstall street view because it wouldn't update on its own.

Only other issue that I can think of is that the HTC Weather widget is locking up occasionally and before this ROM I have never seen it do that. It will just go completely black and won't respond.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jorpe:
I'm using the latest 4g radio, and on the f1 update even though I have a full 4g signal it doesn't allow me to use any data... help?

Can't Update Visual Voicemail

I am at Rev E.1 and have a notification to upgrade Visual Voicemail. The upgrade always fails and the notification won't go away. Any suggestions? Thanks.
[EVO 4G Android Development] toddtwods:
Awesome, thanks.

Anyone using VPNC with the ROM? http://code.google.com/p/get-a-robot-vpnc/

Everytime I try to insmod /system/lib/modules/tun.ko I get a

insmod: init_module '/system/lib/modules/tun.ko' failed (File exists)

No help through the Googles.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ms25:
Sorry for the waste of bandwidth earlier. I thought my E1 had the latest VVM. I didn't realize a more recent update included one.

Anyway, how crucial is it to wipe all data before flashing the most recent update over my current ROM? Can I just do a Nandroid backup, try to flash over current, and then if all else fails, just restore using the Nandroid? Thanks for any help.
[EVO 4G Android Development] SteelH:
Going from revE.1 to e3 *should* be able to do that without a data wipe, but NO guarantees. Going to RevF1 you need to wipe it all.

4G works for myself and others. Not sure how I can help you.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ms25:
Thanks for the reply. I actually went ahead and flashed WITHOUT a wipe before I saw this. Things seem to be working alright. I can go ahead and wipe and flash and then restore if needed, but everything seems to be working. Is there anything I should check out that isn't expected to work? Thanks for all your help.
[EVO 4G Android Development] SteelH:
No not really, sometimes just weird random **** happens. If you are the only one reporting a problem, chances are that is why. If a couple people report the same problem, then it may be something else causing it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] sec1rxg:
why cant I flash from E3 to F1 witout the flash failing due to a "Wrong Digest:system/app/sprint.apk" what does this mean. I can flash others ROMs but not F1.
[EVO 4G Android Development] SteelH:
You have to wipe fully before flashing RevF1. It's a new ROM base.
[EVO 4G Android Development] onelovekir:
is it possible to get a flashable Google Search v1.1.1.53565?? for some reason my version will not update. I'm on E3 right now and not yet ready to switch to F1. thanks OP!!
[EVO 4G Android Development] stevechui:
I had the same issue. I think the F1 Rom is not compatible with old version of Amon-RA recovery tool. I upgraded my recovery tool to 1.8 and flashing worked without any verification error.
[EVO 4G Android Development] gjlowe:
I have heard many people talk about the vastly improved battery life with the new ROM (F1), but I have not observed this...in fact, my battery life seems worse. I am also using setCPU, which doesn't seem to be helping. Anyone else?
[EVO 4G Android Development] dwertz:
I used to get about 7 to 8 hours. Now I get about 14 hours.
[EVO 4G Android Development] gjlowe:
That is fantastic. I just can't figure out why I don't see such awesome improvement.
[EVO 4G Android Development] dwertz:
Run a program like system panel to monitor what is using up your battery. You can also use programs like juice defender, timerific etc that will help. I also have autostarts and can set up which programs I do not want to start like amazonmp3 or twitter etc.
[EVO 4G Android Development] SteelH:
Remove your current version and install the new one from the market.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jorpe:
Is there a version of the wimax and cdma radio which work best? Is there something I could flash like a different kernel?
[EVO 4G Android Development] kf2m:
Another nifty tool is CurrentWidget. It displays in near real time the current draw or charging current for your battery.
[EVO 4G Android Development] sec1rxg:
im using 1.7 A-RA recovery, that might be the problem. I did a full wipe and re dowloaded the rom thinking it have been corrupted in transffer, but no dice. Thanks for your help!
[EVO 4G Android Development] jorpe:
I think it was just the 4g antenna by my apartment, it works tonight and worked elsewhere in the city.

Thank you for an incredible ROM
[EVO 4G Android Development] SteelH:
Most users flash the newest radio and wimax. Those are separate from this ROM.

Now that you mention it, I had 4G at home for a month, now I don't. Dunno WTF Sprint is doing to the local tower. I get 4G at work no probs.
[EVO 4G Android Development] onelovekir:
when i did that, it now says "installation error: duplicate provider authority." WTF!! now i don't have any search haha. any suggestions?

EDIT: NM... i just restarted and it worked!! thanks SteelH!!
[EVO 4G Android Development] drbadass:
I am getting a notification that there's an update to sprint voicemail but the install keeps failing. Anybody else?
[EVO 4G Android Development] xxbabiboi228xx:
Go out side of this thread look to the right of this thread on the main page theres a paper clip meaning attachments click on it there is a visual voicemail apk click on it download it and install it to your phone. If it does not install you will have to get an app called root explorer go into system/app folder delete the other VVM.apk and also go into data/dalvik cache and delete that file to. Then try installing the VVM.apk again should install.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ms25:
Does anyone else see diminished battery life after going to F1? I went from E1 to F1 without a wipe, so I understand that may cause some problems.

Maybe I'm crazy, but I'm pretty sure my battery is much worse after flashing F1. Anyone have similar experiences?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Agfadoc:
I went from E3 to F1 wiping as indicated in the instructions, and it has been working great.

I would assume that you would have to wipe in order to reap the benefits of the package.
[EVO 4G Android Development] xxbabiboi228xx:
Nope the best battery life I've ever had out of all the HTC past kernels and custom kernels that I've used. As the OP stressed b4 need to fully wipe b4 flashing. Cache and dalvik cache but if you are coming from another Rom especially the 3.26 Rom to the 3.28 Rom wipe everything factory data & cache / cache / dalvik cache/ battery / rotation
[EVO 4G Android Development] ms25:
I went ahead and wiped and re-flashed. Hopefully I will experience the substantially better battery that everyone has been reporting.
[EVO 4G Android Development] SITH16:
I was thinking about going to this. I am on stock rom 3.26, should have do all that wiping as well?
[EVO 4G Android Development] RVCA:
I didnt wipe my phone and i flashed anyway. everything seems fine...should i be worried about anything?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Agfadoc:
If it ain't broke, don't fix it....

My philosophy...
[EVO 4G Android Development] RVCA:

ive noticed when I look at pictures in the flickr app thru the "gallery" pictures are blurry and wont load fully. Is that a bug?
[EVO 4G Android Development] sec1rxg:
So I updated my E3 to the new F1, batt life seems to be improved a bit, I get about 13hrs with 65% left. With E3 a was getting about 14hrs and 40% left. I did find a couple of bugs with both ROMS there is no way to shut off the alarm unless you reboot and the cellular signal gets a FC when you put the on "Vibrate Only". I was wondering if anyone has come across the latter, if so how did you resolve it, and dont say get an alarm clock and always keep the ringer on. Other than that this is most stable everyday ROM I've used. :p

Thanks alot, SteelH
[EVO 4G Android Development] SteelH:
I put my phone in vibrate all day at work, never saw a FC from that. As far as the alarm, I never use it so I can't say.

The Flickr app is stock, so if it has issues, that's HTC's or Flickr's fault; not mine as I didn't do anything to it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] gmanvbva:
I was using the previous Stock rooted 3.26 ROM (rooted not deodexed) and was getting great battery life. After flashing this ROM (F1) I am getting horrible battery life. Standby battery drain is nearly twice the rate (3-5%/hr vs 8-10%+/hr).
[EVO 4G Android Development] SteelH:
Both odexed and deodexed use the same kernel, battery life should be the same. And users of this rom and other 3.26 based ROMs all report improved battery life. You need to find out what's eating your battery, it's not this ROM.
[EVO 4G Android Development] gmanvbva:
I did see grat battery life on both sotck 3.26 and netarchy's 3.26 based kernels.

After loading this ROM (with same Apps) I saw a significant decrease in battery drain.

Earlier today (after the previous post) I flashed the stock rooted ROM for 3.28 and restored the same applications previously installed.

Standby battery drain nearly flatlined afterwards. I'm not sure what the issue is/was. I'll keep testing but at this point it doesn't appear to be an offending App.

I'll monitor that for a couple days and then flash this again to see if I still experience the same issue.

I generally agree that unusual battery drain is usually due to an offending application.

BTW I tried with both SetCPU and without and it did not appear to impact standby battery drain.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mdiaz33685:
I updated to F1 from E3...

Not sure what is going on with this new version, I must of tried 3 or 4 times,

wiped data, wiped davalik, wiped everything 2 times,,..

every time I try to sync my contacts, it screws everything up, over 6 or 7 contacts, lucky I backup my contacts on my pc....

it mixes first name with other peoples last names, mixes up emails for other contacts, and phones numbers... for ex.. john smith with 123 456 7890 with email johnsmith@nothing.com,

would come up with john doe, 123 456 7890 and email would come another contact email address, its mixes and switches contacts...

Really weird,

also cant send pictures, it doesnt compress the files, so they come back from the mobile companys senders to large to accept... for tmobile and metropcs users..

but for sprint its ok, the pictures are ok...

I even downloaded caulkins mms fix for compression, then tried the 5mb..

I was forced to go back to E3..... and everything works fine and great...
[EVO 4G Android Development] jlechner:
is anyone else having problems with their widgets not loading after reboots? Mine does it... I'd say 4 out of 10 reboots. VERY annoying.

Edit, never mind. It was something I did.
[EVO 4G Android Development] DroidGnome:
I couldn't help but notice this version is reporting a different version than what is going OTA at the moment..

This ROM 3.28.651.6

OTA version 3.29.651.5

I know steel was working with a 'leaked' version so it might be behind a bit..but seems like a big jump in version numbers...

Either way can't wait for the newest version to be available.
[EVO 4G Android Development] SteelH:
I'll keep my eyes peeled for it. It just went OTA today. Sounds like updates/fixes mainly....

Supposed to have these fixes:

* Calendar event edit issue fix

* Support for multiple Gmail account sync

* 30 FPS uncapped

* GPS reboot fix
[EVO 4G Android Development] Spacen:
Does that mean you intend to update this ROM with the new OTA? Awesome. This ROM has been wonderful and every time I have found an issue, which hasn't been many, you have responded almost immediately. I can't get that kind of service when I pay for it (donation sent a few weeks back).

I have been on F1 since it was posted and have seen at least the same battery life as E3 if not better. Additionally, some things not quite fixed in E3 are fixed now such as being able to download HTC widgets (E3 had them preinstalled). Keep up the good work and thank you once again.
[EVO 4G Android Development] b0ricua:
Downloading Rev.G now :P
[EVO 4G Android Development] SteelH:
RevG now up.

Some other changes I noticed in the new base:

Kernel version is 2.6.32.15-ge2fb08e htc-kernel@and18-2 #11 - it's seem very snappy, perhaps the rumored FPS unlock has finally arrived??

PRI is v1.77_03
[EVO 4G Android Development] d0cx:
Downloading. Will test tomorrow. Thanks SteelH.
[EVO 4G Android Development] b0ricua:
Flashed, works great so far but my PRI is still 1.40. I thought this was completely separate from ROM?

Sent from my Evo 4G
[EVO 4G Android Development] Eurasian Lynx:
Damn, SteelH, you're on top of it! Thanks, bro.
[EVO 4G Android Development] gjlowe:
Thanks SteelH! I did the full wipe/cache/Dalvik and then did the install. ROM came up fine, but Titanium restores do not work for me. I am restoring back to F1 and will hold off for a bit.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ewells38:
+1 TB does not seem to work, will update to this once the issue with T has been resolved :confused:
[EVO 4G Android Development] b0ricua:
Happened to me as well, click on the "Problems?" button within Titanium and that hit OK and that should fix you up...
[EVO 4G Android Development] ewells38:
Thanks, worked like a charm :D
[EVO 4G Android Development] RVCA:
hey guys Im currently running this rom...would i be still able to do that OTA Sprint Update?
[EVO 4G Android Development] b0ricua:
Why would you need to? It's the exact same as this.
[EVO 4G Android Development] RVCA:
what do u mean its the same?

i have this installed

[EVO 4G Android Development] oodlexaps:

[EVO 4G Android Development] RVCA:
^^ sorry I just realized that now. Can I just flash this new version over the old version i have running now?
[EVO 4G Android Development] xxbabiboi228xx:
Yes wipe everything first in custom recovery b4 flashing 3.29
[EVO 4G Android Development] EyeslikeOlives:
Hopefully someone can help me with this: I'm wanting to use this ROM and test out the latest OTA, but every time I flash a Sense ROM and try to view images on Google, it never allows me to seamlessly scroll through pictures. Or slide. Or whatever. I've only been able to do it with CM6. Is there something that I have to wipe for it to work or is that just the way it is?

I'll swipe to the right to view the next picture, but it'll only change after I scroll the photo up.
[EVO 4G Android Development] SteelH:
Yeah, my mistake. I flashed my EVO to the new PRI previously.

Also, for anyone who wants the newest PRI (1.77) and Radio (2.15.00.09.01), grab the flashable update HERE courtesy of flipz.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jathan78:
Any chance of getting a rooted update.zip that takes us from 3.26 to 3.29? As opposed to DL'ing and flashing the entire updated ROM? It'd be nice to bypass using Titanium altogether.
[EVO 4G Android Development] d0cx:
it's a whole new/updated base and kernel. it would certainly bring lots of errors if you don't fully wipe your phone.
[EVO 4G Android Development] d0cx:
SteelH, the first thing I've noticed is that the Voicemail application is v5.1.0.32 and wasn't updated in this ROM. No biggie though since it can be easily updated from the Voicemail application itself. I did it and it completed successfully. FPS seems to be uncapped, confirmed by downloading fps2d. Flash 10.1 and Google Maps was also outdated but Android Market updated it successfully.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ydnandy:
Darn.... I was hoping for the same thing... I love being rooted, bloatware removed, and the other couple customizations i've made, but I hate starting over every time there is an update. I wish i could just apply the update and have everything remain intact. If the updates are to the kernel, why can't we just flash the new kernel (don't people flash custom kernels all the time?).

Do most of the people on this board wipe every time and then restore apps/settings with titanium? Or what is the best/fastest/easiest way to get back to my current state after i apply an update?

I need to create a batch script or something to quickly remove all the bloatware apps and re-push my framework and services.jar files...

thanks!
[EVO 4G Android Development] Xeese:
Ydnandy - Joey has the tool you are looking for. If you are using the Amon-Ra recovery you will need to sign it yourself. Joey has a thread about it forum.sdx-developers.com/development-84/%28alpha-rom-builder%29-create-custom-application-backup-removal-update-zip
[EVO 4G Android Development] b0ricua:
I do a full wipe before flashing ANY ROM, and normally I re-download all my apps and restore my settings manually. This time around, I performed a batch restore on all my apps and settings (using Titanium) and it worked wonderfully...
[EVO 4G Android Development] ydnandy:
Looks interesting... thanks for the heads up. I'll check this out and might give it a shot.

I guess my point was that I was hoping to not have to flash the entire ROM, just the update. Thanks for the feedback on titanium, sounds like a lot of people use that and have positive results.
[EVO 4G Android Development] fastamx79:
I'm getting issues flashing this.. (yes I wiped data, cache, dalvik twice, keeps giving me the following error - using RA 1.8.0)

E:Can't chown/mod /system/bin

(No such file or directory)

E:Failure at line 81:

set_perm_recrusive 0 2000 0755 0755 STSTEM:xbin

Installation aborted.

is it a bad download? is there an MD5 I can compare to?
[EVO 4G Android Development] d0cx:
you might wanna download the rom again. fyi, i used the megaupload mirror.
[EVO 4G Android Development] fastamx79:
I'll give it another shot... I also did use the megaupload mirror. My guess is if it is a corrupt download that it was caused from a few stalls during the download that I experienced..
[EVO 4G Android Development] Spacen:
RevG flashed and working nicely. I think my secondary gmail account is receiving push properly now. UI seems snappier. I have no idea if the 30fps cap removal has anything to do with that.

Went ahead and flashed the new radio and PRI. I seem to get better roaming signal in my bunker of an office.

I did notice when I restored using TI that all my widgets were duplicated and on top of each other. That might lead to increased drain on the battery if you don't catch it. That has nothing to do with the ROM, of course.
[EVO 4G Android Development] fastamx79:
Just as an update I did re-download it (took a few tries because Megaupload was not working correctly for me) and all is well.

but did anyone else lose internal memory space? I had 110mgs left before the update, now after the update and restoring my apps I am down to 94 megs (and that was after deleting a tons of stuff. Is this update really that much bigger over 3.26.651.1?

I've have that every time I reflash a ROM, or update a ROM.. or any other time I restore my apps using Ti... a bit annoying but to me it's no big deal.
[EVO 4G Android Development] RVCA:
this new rom shouldnt effect the 4g..hdmi's and whatnot right?
[EVO 4G Android Development] gjlowe:
I did the BusyBox "upgrade", which was really a downgrade, and finally got everything running on the 3.29.x ROM. It seems snappier, and hopefully the battery time will also improve. I also noticed my free space on internal storage decrease. Had to move a bunch of apps to the SD card.
[EVO 4G Android Development] luckylui:
Nope you good to go bro :)
