[EVO 4G Android Development] SteelH:
Yeah, lots of stuff changed in /system/framework/ in v3.70. Theme do have to be redone for it. Not really any way around that. Same thing with all sorts of MODs/fixes. JsChiSurf and Calkulin updated many of their MODs for v3.70 because of this fact.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Yay 4 Juggs:
where is the link to i.2?
[EVO 4G Android Development] SteelH:
In the OP.
[EVO 4G Android Development] DroidGnome:
Can I assume whatever you fixed in Version I.2 will still work fine with the flashable zip you created in post 1161?

This post

If so.. Happy Santa day to me!
[EVO 4G Android Development] SteelH:
Yes it will work fine.
[EVO 4G Android Development] bushdiverq:
Merry Christmas SteelH. Are you going to get an a2sd rev i.2 build or should I stay with revi.1.
[EVO 4G Android Development] SteelH:
If you use a2sd, I.1. You can update the market and move dalvik if you want and essentially have the same thing as I.2. The hotspot fix is available as a standalone flash also if needed, and android wifi tether already works in I.1. I.2 is for those who do not use a2sd.
[EVO 4G Android Development] d0cx:
RevI.2 is working beautifully. I noticed some other changes that are not posted in the change log such as faster UI animations, downgraded EPST, added Android Keyboard v2.3 (Gingerbread), added 3D Flip Clock... it's pretty awesome. Wireless Tether v2.0.5 RC2 fully works, it's been 4+ hours stable on 3G (can't test 4G yet). It seems overall faster mainly due to the faster animations... but I'm loving it. Thanks SteelH.
[EVO 4G Android Development] SteelH:
Easter eggs my friend..... The animation speeds can be changed with spare parts FYI.
[EVO 4G Android Development] d0cx:
thanks. and yes, i suppose that the animation changes were done with spare parts... but the actual app isn't in your rom, or i can't see it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] SteelH:
Well there are other ways to change the anim speeds, but I was just saying if you want to change them yourself spare parts is an easy way.
[EVO 4G Android Development] DroidGnome:
Two questions..

3D flip clock? Is that an upgrade HTC clock, or something else because I cannot seem to locate a widget nor an app with this name?

And while I've no clue what EPST is, why would I want a 'downgraded' version?

Overall however Love the new ROM, got tether working (even sprint's hotspot works!) everything does seem a bit 'faster' and somehow I managed to have over 200megs free of RAM (previously about 60megs). I swear I must have forgotten to install something but it all looks there... amazing.

Battery life seems a bit low, but that might just be because I'm playing with it constantly at the moment hehe.

Speaking of which, in Recovery there are two options I never quite understood... "Wipe Battery Stats" and "Wipe Rotation Stats". Should those ever need to be touched with new ROMS?
[EVO 4G Android Development] mjhuffer:
Alright I've looked everywhere for this but I cannot find this. Can anyone please whip up a flashable zip to revert the clock widget back to stock. I cannot stand the flip clocks and I would like stock back. I'm sure others would like the same thing. Thank you ahead of time. Make sure it is for the new OTA framwork.
[EVO 4G Android Development] d0cx:
It's the default HTC Clock but it was upgraded with the Desire HD HTC Clock that flips in 3D.

This .apk provides support for the Sprint ##number# codes (the ones that you input using the Dialer) such as ##33284# for debugging information. Starting from the Android 2.2 upgrade, this .apk was crippled and made some previously known codes to stop working. So, the downgraded one (from Android 2.1 update 1) was put here for all those known codes to work.

Yeah it does feel faster... but it's probably because of the animation speed up.

For me, it looks more or less the same... although this heavily depends on usage, obviously.

You could clear those once in a while. They delete some log files regarding either power info and screen rotation logs. Haven't noticed much difference but it doesn't seem to hurt deleting them.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mjhuffer:
Answers

Wipe battery & Rotation:

They have to do with the calibration of your battery and accelerometer. There is really no reason to use them but they really don't hurt.
[EVO 4G Android Development] d0cx:
Don't know what could be the problem with it. You can replace it yourself by extracting the .apk from the RevI version since it doesn't have the 3D one.
[EVO 4G Android Development] d0cx:
Yeah, I know. What I would love is to have those fade in/out transitions when opening/closing applications, pretty much like every other launcher does.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mjhuffer:
There is no problem with it I just prefer the no flip ones because of speed options when you first unlock the phone. I don't think pushing the old .apk will help unless the animation is within the .apk file. I will try though and post back.
[EVO 4G Android Development] SteelH:
The animation is within that apk, look at post #1289.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mjhuffer:
Alright that you so much. I'm fully testing now. I appreciate everything.
[EVO 4G Android Development] SteelH:
I just noticed your signature "Mods: JsChiSurf Remove Bottom Notification Text - need new version"

The version he has works perfectly with this ROM, I in fact, use it. I also use the transparent background image(post #25 & #27) with it as well. One of my favorite mods.

Here is a flashable zip for it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] SteelH:
For those who would like Smooth MODs (seen HERE) on RevI/.1/.2, beatblaster has generously ported it over to the new v3.70 framework for us!

It really adds a nice touch to the ROM. You get battery %, animated sync, charging, gps, up/download, etc..
[EVO 4G Android Development] d0cx:
I flashed the notification power widgets v2.1 only...and it changed/reverted the circle that appears when something is loading back to the one from 3.29/3.30. The new one was a full circle and the old one was like an outlined circle. Not a killer thing but worth posting.

Also...everytime I reboot...4G comes on automatically. I'll keep checking out that thread for a fix.
[EVO 4G Android Development] asafegous:
just got a 4g signal in my house!!! fair-2-bar signal! i love the rom and you progress the stock and all, any way i can get a 4g usb tether? apk? mod? anything? i try tether when 4g is on and 4g reads "disconnecting from from SPRINT". i can only 3g usb. what do i do!!!
[EVO 4G Android Development] DroidGnome:
I would assume that flashing this would remove the 'no clock no battery' flash you created a few pages back right? Mutually exclusive frameworks and all that ?

My wish is that one day maybe Android will 'easily' let us modify that notification bar without having to flash stuff..
[EVO 4G Android Development] DroidGnome:
If you find a fix let me know, I had this happen before I wiped and upgraded to I1.2. It only started about a week ago.

I THINK, that it might be the effect of an application, perhaps Extended Controls or SwitchWidget Pro (I have both installed) I read all sorts of 'odd' behaviour when using a 3rd party 4G toggle. Something about them not turning off the radio properly...

Since I've upgraded, i only use the settings -> turn on 4G option and so far it hasn't given me any problems..
[EVO 4G Android Development] SteelH:
You can edit the spinner pngs in the mod to fix that (or I can do it if you want). 4G comes one on each reboot in v3.70. That's the new behavior of the stock ROM from Sprint, annoying as hell but so far no fix for that. I have used powerstrip and it seems to keep it off or turn it off on reboot, but then you have get a paid app. I'm sure someone will come up with a fix. The notifications are annoying as hell too on the upper left for 4G in 3.70 too.

You use android wifi tether for 4g tethering. Free app.

Actually it wont, the no clock/battery is a services.jar edit, smooth mods is a framework-res.apk edit. Two separate files so you're fine.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jorpe:
Thanks Steel, this ROM seems to zip along faster than previous ones (I was on H prior to this)
[EVO 4G Android Development] d0cx:
I'll try to do it myself when I get home this evening. If I'm unable to do it, i'll let you know.
[EVO 4G Android Development] asafegous:
if i use wireless tether i lose about half the speed. i want 4g usb.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jorpe:
For this, I bought PdaNet... works great. Free if you dont want to buy the full version which blocks https sites after 30 days.
[EVO 4G Android Development] sw10475:
Anyone have a suggestion on this. Is the built in task manager fine or would one like advanced task manager help prolong battery?
[EVO 4G Android Development] xlGmanlx:
Task managers actually deteriorate battery due to added excess cycles to the cpu. Try juice defender or tasker if you are trying to save battery
[EVO 4G Android Development] sw10475:
Thanks. I will look into one of those.
[EVO 4G Android Development] sw10475:
When I first boot to the lock screen it shows a message about typing in Pin1 code, then changes to my text. What is pin1 code?
[EVO 4G Android Development] d0cx:
i failed at trying to modify the framework-res.apk file. can you help me with it? here's the one it's working at the moment without the spinner mod.
[EVO 4G Android Development] SteelH:
Did you resign this apk, it looks like you did? Are you useing the stock framework-res.apk or did you do some mods?
[EVO 4G Android Development] d0cx:
the one i attached has the notification power widgets mod v2.1, and the battery top bar icon modified by uot kitchen.

obviously, when i flashed the power widget file, it replaced the stock framework-res.apk from RevI.2 ... and then i chose that new framework-res.apk to build the customized battery on the top bar (using UOT kitchen)

i tried to build the framework-res.apk file myself using apk manager but i just fubar everything. so, yeah... i'm still learning how to do these modifications by myself.
[EVO 4G Android Development] SteelH:
OK, so this works OK as it is right now on your phone and you just need spinners right?

Try this...
[EVO 4G Android Development] d0cx:
Thank you a LOT. Worked as expected.. I will continue trying to make these myself.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Wayno-san:
Is the I.2 version compatible with Darktremor Apps2SD or just the I.1 A2SD version?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Edgie311:
Can anyone try A Online Radio?

And see if you can get an audio/mpeg station from to stream (I can get audio/accp channels to work ok). I have tried several 3.70 ROM's and none will work for me. I am still running 3.29 for that reason.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Edgie311:
It Works.....Thanks for the ROM.
[EVO 4G Android Development] d0cx:
Yes...they work. I tested an AAC station and a WMA station and they both work.
[EVO 4G Android Development] d0cx:
Only the RevI.1 is supported by A2SD.
[EVO 4G Android Development] DroidGnome:
You might want to define exactly how you want us to test.. there are LOTS of ways to stream music/radio.

I can tell you that both Slacker Radio, and TuneIn both work just fine with this ROM.

If there's a specific website perhaps or app, please link it and I can test it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] SteelH:
You could install A2SD on I.2 yourself if you wanted to. But really the only diffreences are minor changes you could just do to I.1 A2SD yourself and make it the equivalent of I.2.

Not sure about that app, but there is another thread HERE talking about v3.70 ROMs not being able to stream as well. Certainly not a specific issue to SteelROM. I don't know what format/protocol Pandora uses, but I use it on a daily basis without issue.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mdiaz33685:
Thanks Steel for ur awesome Rom. I have only 1 request..

Please install 1 filemanager... es file.. or anything.

Reason everytime we flash a Rom we need to goto the market and download 1.

I use root explorer. Any file explorer would be great.

By the way what hboot ver r u on. I did downgrade from 2.02 to .0.76 when I got the replacement.

Just curious..
[EVO 4G Android Development] Jungle Jack:
Hello,

Steel, thank you for a fantastic ROM. I just had one question. Ever since updating to the 1.2 ROM, I cannot use the stock Froyo Keyboard. I followed the instructions for the Keyboard from XDA via Good and Evo. It still worked fine after Root, but I never changed ROM's until the recent FW Update.

I have uninstalled it and reinstalled it countless times and it always causes a force close when switching to that Input Method. Every Keyboard DL'ed from the Android Market works well.

I recently DL'ed the 2.3 Android Keyboard from the Market and it is quite close. Regardless, I cannot be more pleased or more grateful for the time spent Designing this ROM. I just did not know if there might be a workaround to make the stock 2.2 Keyboard work as it remains my favorite. A very Happy New Year to all.

Cheers,

JJ
[EVO 4G Android Development] SteelH:
The 2.3 keyboard is included with this ROM. As far as the stock Froyo keyboard, I don't know. Do you have a link?
[EVO 4G Android Development] jorpe:
Steel, it's either your ROM or the 2600mah battery I just got, but I'm getting 2x the battery life from before.

One question though.. is anyone having spotty 4G connections now with the newest romo and flashing the most updated radio? I may just be noticing it because that effing notification is there every time before it switches.
[EVO 4G Android Development] SteelH:
That notification is new to v3.70 ROMs. Personally I find it f'ing annoying, but otherwise 4G works as it normally did for me (Ihave 4G almost everywhere by me)
[EVO 4G Android Development] jorpe:
It's probably the same then for me, denver just went ''live'' with 4G the week of Christmas so I bet it's just growing pains.

Great ROM though, seriously good work.
[EVO 4G Android Development] gmanvbva:
The SteelROM RevI.2 link seems to be dead. I haven't been able to download for a couple days now.
[EVO 4G Android Development] PSkinny:
Steel, I've noticed that since I updated to Rev I.1 that when my phone is set to vibrate only my text message alerts don't vibrate the phone whereas they used to. The only way I can get it to vibrate is by turning vibrate on in the messages menu, but then it also vibrates when I have the sound turned on, which I don't want it to do. This did not used to be the case with older versions. Any idea why this changed?

**Edit - N/M, I figured it out, just took turning settings off and back on again a couple times.
[EVO 4G Android Development] PSkinny:
Another question, are the radios you are using working well for you? I need to update mine.
[EVO 4G Android Development] DroidGnome:
Mine seem to be working just fine, I believe I've the lastest unless something came out during the holiday I missed. See sig for links.
[EVO 4G Android Development] DroidGnome:
Not sure if perhaps the mirror was down and SteelH's fixed it by now, but I just confirmed it's working/backup as of the time of this posting..
[EVO 4G Android Development] SteelH:
Remove 4G! Notification from left side of notification bar

Does that 4G! icon in the upper left drive you nuts? Want to get rid of it?

Flash the attached package created by JsChiSurf.

If you change your mind I have made an undo package to revert back to stock as well.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mdiaz33685:
Steel... awesome... ver 1.2a... w/root explorer..

that is great, thanks so much....

edit... the link is there.. but in mediafire was the file removed... hmmm
[EVO 4G Android Development] Shane Pitman:
If I understand this correctly, this just hides the icon. Is there a reason that 4G is now turned on by default, and is there a way to change it back to off by default?
[EVO 4G Android Development] SteelH:
Yes, it hides the notification.

Yes, there is a reason its turned on by default, but I don't know what it is. You'll need to ask HTC why v3.70 is coded that way.

I do not know of a way to turn it off by default.
[EVO 4G Android Development] asafegous:
##diag#? doesn't do any thing on this rom? is it the riptide theme? help.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mrkkk:
please make an entry in wiki

http://xdaforums.com/wiki/index.php?title=HTC_Supersonic/ROMs
[EVO 4G Android Development] SteelH:
It does work on this ROM. I purposely downgraded the EPST.apk as was mentioned in a previous posting to allow all the dialer codes to be used. Your theme customized the dialer and used a newer version of the epst.apk. HTC disabled most of the codes in their newer rom versions.

There you go.
[EVO 4G Android Development] asafegous:
Thanks steel. I'll wipe and flash. You always help me out when I ask. Thanks.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Shane Pitman:
Thanks Steel. I was wondering if it was something I had done that made it default to being turned on, lol.

One other question, is the Sprint Hotspot app supposed to be working in the latest release? Mine gives me the Registration failure error when I try to launch it. Ironically, I can't get Wireless Tether to work either. The app installs/loads fine, and devices can see the wireless network and connect to it, but they only get a local connection, no internet.
[EVO 4G Android Development] SteelH:
Something sounds very funky with your setup. The Sprint hotspot does work (of course it doesn't do 4G) and android wifi tether works. Many users including myself have confirmed this.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Shane Pitman:
I thought I had read that both were working. Wonder what's screwy with mine, lol.
[EVO 4G Android Development] DroidGnome:
Might have found an issue here... not sure.

Has anyone else experienced any problems downloading an app from the market, specifically the download starts.. then stops.. no error message, no nothing. The downloading icon shows up for about 2 seconds and then stops...

What's odd, is it's not every app. I THINK that it only seems to affect 'large' apps. So far any app 10megs or over has this problem for me. I've tried the following apps and none install:

Pocket Legends (When it wouldn't update, I uninstalled and now cannot reinstall), Angry Birds Seasons, and even tried the new Firefox browser (which I've never had). All 3 seems to simply not want to install.

I even checked the android log and there's nothing listed there.. it's very odd.

Thoughts?

UPDATE: just tried Angry Birds Lite, no go. Also tried "Lady Gaga Ringtones" (hey it's an app over 10 megs i found) also a no go. So far everything I've tried in the 8 meg range works fine.
[EVO 4G Android Development] SteelH:
Well, we'll see what others say, but I have angry birds, angry birds seasons, firefox, and the new rock band from the leaked HTC Mecha RUU (it's a 200M d/l). All downloaded and installed fine.

Try the attached apk and then see if it will download the full version for you.
[EVO 4G Android Development] stevenjeff:
hulu

anyone get hulu working on this framework yet
[EVO 4G Android Development] SteelH:
This is stock framework. If you search theme/apps forum you'll find the fix to make Hulu work.
[EVO 4G Android Development] oodlexaps:
Do we have to match up particular gps_off zips with ROM version? I am on I.2, and have the file named GPS_OFF_FIXED.zip.
[EVO 4G Android Development] SteelH:
Yes, it needs to be for v3.70, that file works on older 3.29/3.30 roms.
[EVO 4G Android Development] DroidGnome:
Maybe i should clarify, it's not downloading a file.. it's installing an app from the Android Market only. I can download large files from the web just fine.. it's only the android market that seems to 'restrict' it.

I just updated about 4 apps from the market just fine.. but if I try either Angry Birds Seasons, Firefox or that lada gaga again, they still refuse to download. I don't know of any other market apps over 10megs just yet to test.

If you could do me a favor.. backup your Angry Birds Seasons via Titantium (I assume you use that.. just in case so you can restore if you want), then uninstall it. Try to re-download it from the market. If it works then I know it's my phone specifically and not the ROM as you and I seem to run the exact same setup with the ROM and radios etc..
[EVO 4G Android Development] SteelH:
Your problem isn't the ROM, it's a data wipe. Or should I say a lack thereof.
[EVO 4G Android Development] DroidGnome:
Well you're correct on it not being the ROM (which I honestly didn't think it was or we'd have seen lots of postings).

For Reference, I did data wipe just before updating to this version of the ROM, several times in fact, trying to figure out what the problem was with my internet (remember the HOSTS file issue I mentioned? :) ) Wiped the full Data, Cache, Dalvik-cache. Only thing I never wipe is the SD card.

Anyway, I had a friend test downloading some of those apks on his device (Though it was a droid X) via market, and they worked fine. That told me it wasn't a market issue and was either my phone or ROM. I went and did a Nandroid backup (just in case) and wiped my phone. (Note: I did not reflash the ROM, and it actually it has since been altered with some of the various system updates since you published it such as the market, and I believe google maps. The integration was via Titanium Backup's option to "integrate into ROM" )

From a fresh start on this 'modified' ROM, downloading works perfectly now. So I'm currently in the process of restoring all my apps and settings, and 'hopefully' the issue won't resurface.

What really bugs me is the lack of a proper error system within Android. When the market started, then stopped the download, there should be SOME sort of message, or at least an event log. I checked the standard log, and there was no error at all shown.
[EVO 4G Android Development] oodlexaps:
Sorry, I would have seen that if I had searched first. I followed your other thread and recompiled classes in services w/ the icons off. Thanks for your help!
[EVO 4G Android Development] SteelH:
If you grab the version of I.2 with file explorer, the hosts file issue was fixed. Also, I have read in various ROMs over the past few months several issues the same as yours with the market and I don't ever recall finding a clear cut answer as to why or a solution. Did you try the 'clear data' for the market under /settings/applications/ ? (you probably did, but just wondering)
[EVO 4G Android Development] DroidGnome:
Ahh I didn't bother with the Root Explorer since I added it to the ROM myself heh. And Yep, I cleared Market data, market cache, rebooted, waved it in the air 3 times, etc...

I have found something interesting... It's not a setting I have, nor any single app. I was playing last night and am now able to duplicate it practically on demand. The catch is, I seem to have to keep my apps and not install any others. As soon as I install another app around the 3-5 meg size, the probem occurs. Whats odd is normally I'd say "ohh it's a space issue" but I've plenty of space.

I'm in the process of moving EVERYTHING back to the phone itself to see exactly how much space it takes up.. if I'm right I'll be at just about max capacity and I think the Market might somehow be looking at "All App space taken up vs total space the phone should have" , rather than "How much space is left". That's my current theory at least.

you mentioned other threads.. i've been unable to find any with similar issues.. if you happen to know of any offhand, shoot me a PM with them or list em here so maybe I can add my findings to them.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jauger:
Droidgnome,anychance you are using the apps2sd version?? I have had this problem a time or two, usually from not doing a good dalvik wipe when nand restoring, also if you go into settings/applications/manage applications and try moving a few apps from sd to internal like angrybirds you will end up with a out-of-memory error ( even though my phone shows 320mb free ) and the app wont reinstall from the market..only fix that has worked for me is adb shell a2sd reinstall...and a good dalvik wipe...hope this might help ya..
