I think you need to compare apples to apples. of course sense is going to slow it down a little but for many that like it, it's a tradeoff for the ui. I dont think its slow at all but you can always deselect sense and install adw or lpro to compare. You can try other kernels, oc and see if this makes up the difference. Also no dig on cm6 at all but I got the evo for the 4g capabilities. I personally feel its plenty quick enough and with 4g, streaming video and downloads are much quicker. will that be cash or credit? lol

My Gmail Sync contact is not working. "Sync is currently experience problems. It will be back shortly"..... never has sync'd since I flashed the ROM. The mail is syncronizing and the calendar too but not my contacts...

Any advice?
[EVO 4G Android Development] muncheroo:
Man holy crap this rocks. Better battery than any of the custom kernels I've tried. Getting more than one day with moderate use in poor signal. No difference in performance between this and cyanogen if I use launcher pro.
[EVO 4G Android Development] godfirst:
I think fresh 3.2 gets better battery life then the newest update. I can't seem to make it past 9hrs of moderate use with 3.3 and thats with no other kernels or oc or anything just the base rom of fresh 3.3.
[EVO 4G Android Development] s1dest3pnate:
lol - I have no monies :(

Well, it just seems like a pretty significant performance difference. I'm already using launcherpro though. I have tried another kernel before but I should do that again to see if there is a performance difference. As far as ocing, i haven't decided if I want to do that or not yet. And I don't have 4g in my area yet but by the time I do, I'm sure Cyanogen will have it incorporated by then.

Thanks for selling it to me. I appreciate the info and will give a different kernel a shot.
[EVO 4G Android Development] rileyd5:
Thanks for being a good sport. CM6 is a great rom as well. I hope he gets 4g working on it soon.
[EVO 4G Android Development] tedum88:
I don't understand how you can have so much battery!! i turned mine on for 4 hrs with 10mins of game play and mail sync only and it drained more than half!
[EVO 4G Android Development] lonlawrence:
For those of us with the new Seidio 3500 mah battery, we no longer chase the elusive battery-saving method. Now we leave our GPS, WiFi and Bluetooth on all day and sync everything constantly and never get below 40% in a 15 hour day. No chargers used at all during the day, just at night while I sleep.
[EVO 4G Android Development] xfusejc:
Having a problem with the SD card: it's not mounting when I connect it to my computer. I have a Mac. Up until now, it had been working fine without a problem. I can still see its contents with any file explorer, and I can Mount/Unmount, but the storage won't show up on the computer.

Anyone having this issue?
[EVO 4G Android Development] lonlawrence:
did you change your phone from "charge" to "disk drive" and click "done"? (I'm a Mac man, also)
[EVO 4G Android Development] bschucher:
Ive had the rom on there for a few days now and it never was able to activate... If i press and hold 1 i get to an error message recarding..

Disregard.. all good. Thanks.
[EVO 4G Android Development] TorxT3D:
flipz, is it possible to implement an extended mms size limit fix??

still hate this high compression of mms pictures i send

i see calkulin has a mod for his rom, but dont want to try on this fresh rom.

thanks
[EVO 4G Android Development] leeh41:
Battery didnt make it through the day on 3.3. it lasted me til about 8-7 on 3.2
[EVO 4G Android Development] xfusejc:
I can only get to that from the Settings menu, but yes, I set it to Disk Only. The problem is that, even when I connect it to the computer, whereas I used to get a message in the Notification saying that the SD Card had been connected or mounted or what have you, now I just get the USB Debugging notification and that's about it. The phone charges, so I know the connection is fine, and I just tried loading the SD card in another phone and it mounts fine as well, so something is interfering.
[EVO 4G Android Development] xfusejc:
And nevermind. Apparently, fixing the permissions did the trick.

Sorry for the nonsense.

Beef with Fresh Evo Rom

Ok I like fresh rom a lot but i got some beef with its creator, well frustration the pics of the different screens there is the one that you see it locked with but with the buttons you can drag from the sides. When I download fresh 3.2 I thought It was there unfortunately its the sprint drag down lock button which im not a fan of. Was i just jipped? Maybe theres a way to change the screen lock? Any help? thanks
[EVO 4G Android Development] steelersmb:
You have to download the custom lockscreen from the Fresh Updater. Also, these guys that create these ROM's are doing it on their own time and probably only get a handful of donations. Don't complain without asking first because what you want to do is very simple and has been discussed here numerous times. Did you search for you answer before posting? I know the search functionality sometimes is difficult because there are so many pages of information to go through but I remember reading about it at least 3-4 times in this thread.

Don't take this the wrong way and I am not trying to be an ass, but long story short, if you don't like the ROM, don't use it and find another one. If you like it and use it, then donate.

BTW...do a search on Vanilla Lockscreen and you will find your answer. Also, I think it's in the first post.
[EVO 4G Android Development] firestetz:
Calkuin's mod does work on this rom I have it and have no trouble with out but it still compresses incoming mms, not much but it does.
[EVO 4G Android Development] playya:
x2... I think you handled this one pretty good. And the time it took to write this thread about Vanilla lock he could of scrolled thru his apps and found the fresh updater and voilla he could of hand everything he wanted. Oh well I am quite sure he is going to search thoroughly next time. Now I have changed from the stock kernel to kings.. The stock was just not lasting like I think it should not bad but Kings is much better. I am running BFS #9 no problems

HTC Facebook app

my HTC sense facebook was constantly syncing. I actually uninstalled it because it was draining battery so fast. Does anyone know how to get it back on?

Ive tried to install through root explorer with no luck. I get a message saying app not installed. I moved it from system/app/ to a folder with the rest of the sprint stuff.

Any help would be great thanks
[EVO 4G Android Development] nickflo13:
Where's the old Notes widget from the ROM before? The new HTC notes widget sux. The old one you could put a check mark on it and also a strike through. Looks like a paper with lines. The new one just looks like a sticky note where you can only add one note at a time. Anyone have the apk for this so I can download?
[EVO 4G Android Development] sgallos1:
steelersmb I would like to thank you for setting me straight. I was being a total A$$hole after a crappy day at work and I lashed out on the one thing that Im enjoying the most, customizing my evo. I appreciate the info you gave me and Im going to look into right now. Again sincere apologies on my behalf, especially to Fresh evo creator, I love your rom and as steelersmb put it i should have done more research.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jdeloach:
That's impressive. You don't see many people apologize nowadays, buy I respect the ones that do...takes a real man.

just reverted to 3.2.0.0

I just reverted back to 3.2.0.0. The only difference I noticed after the update to 3.3.0.1 was worse battery life :-(

(I do not game, so the fps made no difference to me. Scrolling in the browser looked the same.)
[EVO 4G Android Development] MRFERRARI23:
+1 I'd like that .apk as well!
[EVO 4G Android Development] steelersmb:
Hey, I appreciate the apology. I was not trying to be a jerk and I hope you didn't take it that way, just trying to help. Like I said, searching sucks some times and I have gotten beaten up a time or two for not searching myself so no big deal. Don't worry about it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mmarcus:
I went back to 3.2 as well. Battery life alone was worth it, but I also experienced problems with market downloads and the 4G on startup issue.
[EVO 4G Android Development] sgallos1:
Yea I understand you werent acting like a jerk just helping out its all good, now on the task at hand when im on fresh update where do i type to find the custom lock screen ? thx
[EVO 4G Android Development] MRFERRARI23:
Does anyone notice that the weather animations dont come across the screen to often?? It seems like sometimes they work and sometimes they don't :confused:
[EVO 4G Android Development] sgallos1:
Hey np you werent acting like a jerk. Anyway on the task at hand where in fresh update do i type or even search for custom screen lock?
[EVO 4G Android Development] imwillzillla:
This is how you enable the Android Vanilla lockscreen on Fresh

1. Go to your apps and go to Fresh Updater (It's pre installed with the Rom.)

2. Go to the "Existing" section of the Fresh updater application.

3. Hit Menu and then "check now"

4. your phone will start downloading. Once finished you'll see where it will say "remove-htc-lock-clock-full-3.zip.

5. make sure that's highlighted and click "accept update"

6. Go to tweaks and click "Vanilla lockscreen enable"

7. I think it'll reboot. once it does you should have your Android lockscreen with the swipe to unlock and swipe to vibrate.

If I missed any steps or got anything wrong let me know and i'll fix it. And when this question is asked again i'll just copy/past the steps. Hope this helps.
[EVO 4G Android Development] heyman123:
instructions found here

new Fresh 3.3.0.1 is so snappy! Loving it so far.... gonna have to monitor the battery on this new updated ROM, but regardless, I think I'll keep it just for the quick response improvement on it. Plenty of charging mediums to keep juice on my EVO anyways.... Thanks for another great release!
[EVO 4G Android Development] lonlawrence:
****, now my Mac stopped seeing my evo. I fixed permissions on the mac and it still doesn't see it. Same symptoms as xfusejc. Anybody got any ideas? It was working last night. Haven't changed anything except downloaded a few apps on the phone. Did a nandroid backup tonight after I verified all my apps were working after flashing XDA vanilla rooted ROM. Had it hooked to the computer last night when doing the ROM work. Now the bugger doesn't show anything when I hook it up, just the charging light is on. Tried forcing it to "disk only" mode. Still doesn't show up.

EDIT: OK, searched the archives... people trying to say I had to install SDK, type in a bunch of cryptic stuff. I downloaded the SDK, can't figure out what to do with it at all! What a bunch of crap to fix a problem that should never have happened. Read some more posts, other guys were saying to try multiple re-boots with various changes, like taking out the sd card, rebooting, shutting off, installing the sd card, rebooting, etc. Lots of work, but easier than figuring out SDK. So I just did a reboot for the first try... and it worked! computer now sees SD card. Whew! must have had something to do with reboot after nandroid backup.

k thx imwillzilla for the steps, im having problems with the wifi tether app my windows vista laptop wont connect it says i need to repair the server on the phone. I go into the wifi tethering settings change the password enable access control still nothing works when i was using cm6 and the inbuilt portable wifi hotspot it worked fine but with this wifi tether app it screws up do i have to change the frequency setting?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Mr Ian B:
Noob here.

Use the phone Fresh app to go from 3.2 to 3.3 today. Everything is working like a champ and all my apps are there and working. I wanted to flash the radio and pri update and this is where my problem lies. I use my Mac to download the file for the radio/pri from Flipz website. I opened the folder after saving to my desktop and dragged the firmware.zip file to my sd card. There was another folder called in the download META-INF but did not move to my sd card. I booted to recovery, wentto flash from sd card, selected the firmware.zip file and got an error message---could not find the update script and aborted the install.

I went back, added the META-INF file to the sd card, repeated recovery and flash from sd card the firmware.zip file and it failed with the same error message.

Is downloading the file from MAC causing the issue?

Am I missing something?

Should I redownload the radio/pri file again from a windows pc and try again?

Is that second file META-INF required to be moved to sd card to make the zip file work?

Searced the thread but, no luck. Please give me 3rd grade level instructions as my pc skills are limited and don't want to brick the phone.

Thanks,

Ian B

Have you tried downloading the file from your phone it will go into a folder download with a file explorer take and move that file to the root of your SD
[EVO 4G Android Development] badassdes:
Sorry that I'm posting this again but I don'tknow what else to do. After I flashed the ROM & radio/PRI, everything is working well but my Gmail Sync contact is not working on one of the accounts. I have two. "Sync is currently experience problems. It will be back shortly"..... Only sync'd once, when I flashed the ROM.

I went to app manager and cleared data and cache and still not working.

I try to uninstall this account and it indicates that cannot uninstall b/c the account is associated with other apps...

It's syncronizing the mail and the calendar for this account but not my contacts...

Any advice?

anyone have a good fresh 3.2 file. the one i got off the op's forum just will not flash. i tried to reflash it 3 times now and the progression bar never moves from the start of the bar. i let it try to do its thing for up to 30 minutes once and it never flashes. however when i flash the 3.3 file it flashes without any difficulty. i dont know if the file i downloaded is incomplete or what and i deleted the original fresh 3.2 already so i dont know unless i have a different fresh 3.2 file to try. so does anyone have a certified working one they can link me.

thanks in advance

[EVO 4G Android Development] dahray02:
oh yea, i know theres a official release....its much easier through tha fresh updater and since there isnt that many changes from 3.1 to 3.1.0.1 i figured it wasnt a big deal to just do the patch....am i wrong?
[EVO 4G Android Development] furrelkt:
Really? No reason to laugh... he was just asking how the process works. You guys are being rough. Geez
[EVO 4G Android Development] furrelkt:
No you are right my friend... did you do a check through updater? Its there. Just dl and flash as normal. :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] dahray02:
actually i'm wrong....i have 3.0.0.4, sorry i got mistaken, hard to keep track of all the changes...so i'm gonna dl 3.1.0.1 and flash over my 3.0.0.4 without wiping now....still donated, great ROM!

Vanilla Lockscreen issues

Good afternoon,

I apologize if this has been mentioned before....but I didn't see any detailed information in search. Here's what I'm experiencing with the new Fresh + the Vanilla lockscreen.

1. Menu button allows unlock. I know this is considered a feature and not a bug, but there use to be a patch for it. Not seeing it this time around. Could we maybe get it added to the fresh updater / tweaks?

2. If you set your display to "Never turn off" and then turn off your screen manually w/Vanilla lock and then turn it back on (without an unlock)...it will now ignore the "Never turn off" functionality. I believe this now happens with the HTC lockscreen as well, but I know it hasn't always been an issue....perhaps I'm just missing something. I'm about 2 quarts low on mountain dew.

That's all for now; Thanks to Flipz for all the hard work. This is a great ROM.
[EVO 4G Android Development] leeh41:
Wow... i was JUST about to post about the exact same thing. I was wondering if the old fix still works.

You could also just unzip the fresh evo .zip file and pull the fresh-removed-apks-3 from there.

I think he only sends the emails out when there are beta releases, but I'm unsure. I have yet to donate.

Batt statts...
[EVO 4G Android Development] arielb27:
Just some quick info update. So far I am getting great battery life from this ROM, Yes I know everyone keeps saying that they are not or please show us your stats, well I am posting some screen shots from my phone.

I am running 3.3.0.1 with stock kernel.

This is a great ROM.
[EVO 4G Android Development] tristanjpark:
How are you getting such great battery life?! extended battery?

Which stock kernel did you use the older one?

What PRI, PRL, and baseband version do you have?

did you use clockwork or amonra to flash it?

Sorry for all the questions just want to mimic your installation.
[EVO 4G Android Development] arielb27:
The biggest option that started my phone to save batter is:

/menu/settings/Wireless & Networkw/Mobile Networks/ uncheck - Enable always-on Mobile. Also in Roaming, set it to just Sprint.
[EVO 4G Android Development] steelersmb:
If you uncheck that though, then it will not connect to 3G right?
[EVO 4G Android Development] eman3316@optonline.net:
Nothing is effected by doing that. Your 3G will still work and everything you have syncing will still sync. I have been un-checking that since I first got my EVO.

I have no idea what it actually does by keeping it checked, but it does help with battery when you un-check it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] arielb27:
With it un-checked which I have had since the very beginning, I am still able to sync everything and also have 3g, wifi etc.

I also don't really know what it really does. But it sure helps with battery life when it's unchecked.
[EVO 4G Android Development] cabbieBot:
is that why you have such high cell standby?
[EVO 4G Android Development] tn_friend:
I must say that the new Fresh Rom has amazing battery life!! I saw a major increase in 3.2, but 3.3 is amazing. I went the whole day yesterday with moderate usage and ended up with 70%
[EVO 4G Android Development] efipaul:
I switched from Baked Snack 1.7 to Fresh 3.3.0.1 with the new HTC g3a8614e based Kernel and newest PRI/Radio, and my battery life is easily twice as good as it was with Baked.

Between football all day, and UFC last night, I probably used it a bit heavier than a normal day, and I still had 40% left at 2am when I finally charged it. I'm VERY happy with this rom.

The only oddball thing I've noticed though... The FPS seems sluggish to ramp up. If I open FPS2d, the first few seconds are really low (30-35 maybe) then it all ramps up and seems to average out right at 50fps. I really notice this in Angry Birds with all of the scrolling side to side. When I first start playing, it's very jumpy, and not smooth at all. But after a minute or so, it's as smooth as any other rom I've tried. Not sure if this is a function of the new kernel, or maybe an oddity in my combo, but I just wanted to mention it for feedback. And it's only a minor thing I noticed. Fresh is still better than the others I've tried.
[EVO 4G Android Development] rileyd5:
How much of your total 14hrs is wifi time? I heard wifi drains less than leaving 3g on but could be wrong. your battery life seems really good, that's for sure. I havent unchecked mobile network thing in a while. might try that again. thanks for the nudge :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] Zabalba:
Mobile on demand is the same option like the WiFi sleep policy. If you uncheck it, after 5 mins of the phone being idle (screen off) it will turn off the 3G. Apps that normally sync within certain intervals will not be able to pull data since 3G is off. If you leave your phone alone for a while and press the power button you can actually see the 3G icon coming back on since it thinks your about to use it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] prettyboyrob2007:
can the Vanilla lock screen show the text messages like htc lock screen?
[EVO 4G Android Development] mario23:
I first flashed this over 3.2 two days ago. Both of those 2 days, I noticed battery life had decreased for me compared 3.2. I actually had to put the phone back on the charger in the middle of the day both days, which I normally don't have to do.

last night, I decided to wipe everything out and start over clean to see if anything changes. I'll keep an eye on it today. 50 minutes after unplugging and I'm down to 86% so I have a feeling I'm still not getting the battery life I was accustomed to with 3.2. I also upgrade the radio so not sure what might have changed. Its interesting that not everybody is experiencing this though some have definitely noticed the change. I'm curious what the cause could be. Either way, i'll stick with Fresh...we go way back ;)
[EVO 4G Android Development] mario23:
No...you would have to use Widgetlocker or something like it...
