1: Radio and WiMax are separate from EVERY ROM, including this one. They are flashed separately and independently of one another.

2: Stock kernel works fine, netarchy's 4.1.8 works fine, kings BFS #4 works fine.

That's a known bug, not specific to this ROM.

That's why they make AdBlock and popup blockers, try them sometime.

Good one, NOT. Nothing is free in this world, including bandwidth. Those sites host things for free, the trade-off is ads to pay for the bw.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jtc442:
I'm running kings #5, and wow, this thing is smooth!!! I have tried all other roms, but just sticking with the stock Rom is the best route!! 100%

Love it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] SteelH:
I just flash kings #6 to test it out, thanks for your reply on this ROM's functionality & stability too!
[EVO 4G Android Development] jtc442:
Sure, not a prob. Let me know how 6 does if you don't mind. I might go ahead and flash, but man, I'm soooo pleased with my setup now.
[EVO 4G Android Development] SteelH:
#6 has worked for me, no problems.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jtc442:
Thanks! I did go ahead and flash it last night. Still running as smooth as ever. I just can't believe that after going through every single Rom out there, I just ended up coming back to the stock one! Just using kings #6, Adw launcher, and this thing is sweet. Thanks again!!
[EVO 4G Android Development] drbadass:
Is anybody having a problem with updating the sprint apps? I uninstalled the nascar one when i first flashed this rom, not sure if that affected it, but... TV, Football, none will work as the update installation fails after it's downloaded. Any ideas?
[EVO 4G Android Development] JayKC:
Can these be installed on a stock EVO? Tried installing from SD Card from Astro, but I get an "Application not installed error"...
[EVO 4G Android Development] sturmen:
Need to root first. Make sure you have a complete root.
[EVO 4G Android Development] SteelH:
Voice mail, NASCAR, TV, and football app updates have all been addressed in the OP.

They all came from a stock EVO.
[EVO 4G Android Development] chino331:
Steel - there's a new Sprint TV update that came out today. After downloading it will not install - getting message installation failed.
[EVO 4G Android Development] SteelH:
OK let me install it on my phone and see what happens.

Which version of my ROM are you using also? and did you install the flashable update in the OP?
[EVO 4G Android Development] chino331:
I'm using your E2 version. Thanks! :)

oops just saw the 2nd part - I haven't flashed that update since going to E2
[EVO 4G Android Development] SteelH:
That's just the widget update.

UPDATE: A fix is up.
[EVO 4G Android Development] chino331:
awesome! thanks again Steel! :D

quick question - why aren't the sprint apps able to update?
[EVO 4G Android Development] SteelH:
I believe some got resigned incorrectly.
[EVO 4G Android Development] chino331:
Ah ok! Thanks again - enjoying your ROM, it's great!
[EVO 4G Android Development] Tower1972:
For starters, thank you for all the hard work and the seemingly constant updates when issues arise !!

Now for my issue, and I hope its a simple fix that im missing.

Im having a slight issue since using this with VM. I downloaded the flash on the op, and installed it since I wasnt getting any voicemails prior to it (yes I called myself to test from a landline :P).. Anyway, I installed this zip and did a profile update for my phone and it still doesnt work. Strange thing is on the "undelivered" tab in voice mail there is a message that says activate@vvm.sprint.com. When I click on it, it does nothing but tells me this Message activates the voicemail service and im also getting Data services errors but texts go thru and my browsers work fine.. Seems the activation message thats supposed to go out, doesnt on 3g or wifi.

Am I missing something here or doing something wrong to get my VMM back to a working state? Ive pulled the battery, rebooted, went into my applications and force stopped and cleared data (tho uninstall is grayed out)wiped my caches etc.. Will TB remove this so I can reflash it and hopefully get it back

Seems this is a general issue thats affecting many people as im reading :(...sorry to beat a dead horse
[EVO 4G Android Development] wsantiagow:
Sprint_TV.apk Install

I tried the flashable update for Sprint TV but did not work flashing.

:DWorked:

1.Put it on my sd card and opened it with Astro or Root Explorer.

2. Click on "System"

3. Click on "App"

4. Click on "Sprint_TV.apk

5. Click yes to extract

6 It will create a folder called "Extracted" on your sd card

7. Go to the folder (extracted) and install from there.

I had no issues doing it this way. Im using EViO2 from Calkulin
[EVO 4G Android Development] SteelH:
Not sure why you are having trouble with VM. People said they had trouble updating and I posted an updated apk in the OP. I haven't seen any problems since then.

That stupid original message that comes up, just delete it. Then call your VM and go through the setup again, I don't know why Sprint does this every time you update or even flash a new ROM. But like I said, delete that first default message from Sprint, then call your VM and go through the message/pin code setup and you should be fine.
[EVO 4G Android Development] _MetalHead_:
Please forgive me if this has already been answered in this thread, but my eyes are tired from reading through the 2.2 root thread.

I want to use this ROM with a custom kernel that fixes the FPS cap, can I do that? Also, which kernel should I use?

003 evo w/ novatek

THANK YOU
[EVO 4G Android Development] SteelH:
No bashers in here! You can use a custom kernel with this rom. I recommend netarchy's (my personal fav). However Kings kernels also work fine.
[EVO 4G Android Development] tom1l21:
I'm new here but just successfully flashed this ROM. How is this different than CM6? Is this ROM the whole Sense experience while CM6 is just vanilla android (ant rhats why some apps/widgets don't work)?
[EVO 4G Android Development] SteelH:
This is the stock ROM that comes on the EVO.
[EVO 4G Android Development] chino331:
The flashable Sprint TV in the OP works great - thank you!!! :D
[EVO 4G Android Development] _MetalHead_:
Thanks SteelH! I just finished rooting and installed Netarchy's kernel per your suggestion and I must say, it's AWESOME. The scrolling is sooo much smoother with that FPS fix.
[EVO 4G Android Development] tom1l21:
Thanks for clarifying Steel.

I followed these steps and installed this rom. Since this is my first go at rooting and Rom flashing I want to try out a few tons. I just downloaded cm6 to SD root. I'm getting an error when I try to flash it using anon. Says "assert failed: getprop("ro.bootloader") == "0.76.2000""

What does this mean? Is this because of a specific program we used to flash tons or is this a cm6 specific issue? Thanks for the help!
[EVO 4G Android Development] d0cx:
So far, I've been 3 days already with this ROM and I love it.

I have one question. I would like to remove most of Sprint's bloatware from this. I don't need/use Qik, Sprint News and most of them. Any instructions about how to properly remove them? Thanks.
[EVO 4G Android Development] tom1l21:
Purchase root explorer in market. It's $3 and easy as pie. Go to system, then apps to locate the apks
[EVO 4G Android Development] SteelH:
+1 On this method. That's exactly what I do. It's ridiculously fast and simple.
[EVO 4G Android Development] d0cx:
I noticed some, if not all, of them open automatically in the background. I know that removing the .apk will obviously remove them but, those "calls" that launch these .apk will then keep trying to launch nothing. I'm not sure I'm explaining myself clearly.

EDIT: Downloading Rev E.3 as we speak. :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] HeckNoTechnO:
How do you delete these files they are read only?
[EVO 4G Android Development] d0cx:
@mikebeam as far as I remember, those files were already updated in the latest revisions of this ROM.

Gonna flash Rev E.3 now.
[EVO 4G Android Development] SteelH:
You change your file system to read/write, it's a simple button tap in root explorer.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Ep3n3wp:
First off.. newbish 2 part question... I just rooted last night using the 2.2 update from xda regaw... I used and flashed the 2.2-update.zip clock he provided...

For me to use this deodexed 2.2 I just download place on root of SDcard, then boot into bootloader apply update.zip and that's it?

If I missed any step please let me know!!!

Also does this wipe phone completely as in fresh start?

Thanks in advanced!!!
[EVO 4G Android Development] _MetalHead_:
I still have the rooted rom that was installed on my phone as part of the 2.2 root process, is this rom better? The quadrant score in the screencap on the first page was significantly better than what I'm getting.

I already set my phone back up so is there a way I can create a backup of my screens, apps, settings etc. and install this rom and then load my backup over the new rom? So I don't have to set my phone up all over again?

Sorry for the noobish questions, I'm still learning all about rooting.
[EVO 4G Android Development] SteelH:
That is how you do it, and you should wipe cache and dalvik-cache before flashing.

Better is a matter of opinion. This ROM is stock, nothing removed. Quadrant scores always vary, even on the same phone. I stopped all running services/apps that I wasn't using when I ran that one. Nandroid backup should always be done before flashing anything. Some people like to use TI backup for their apps, etc.
[EVO 4G Android Development] bluebeast213:
MyBackup is the best for this IMO. It will back up all of that and more. The free version has a 30 day trial, but I liked it so much that I purchased the pro version and use it constantly......as I switch roms a lot.
[EVO 4G Android Development] kid1000:
i was wondering if anyone has experienced a change in battery life with the rev3, i just flashed it yesterday and ive noticed it burned through the battery today much then usual and i did not use it anymore then i normally do.... another strange thing was that once i put it on the charger when it was down to 15%, 5 mins later the phone said it was at 46% when i was unlocking the screen.... anybody got an idea what this maybe?
[EVO 4G Android Development] rollrsk8ter:
SteelH....it appears a new update to Qik for HTC Evo came out today, will not install.
[EVO 4G Android Development] DroidGnome:
Is there a reason I cannot find info about Google Voice's update?

It isn't showing in the market for my Evo, still 0.4.0.12 (not v0.4.1.9 as indicated i Rev e3 here).

I'd rather not update the entire ROM for one APK, which I could install myself (I think), and especially not if it doesn't add anything.

Any chance someone has a link to info about the new version and/or the apk file? (Flashable or otherwise).

I don't use nascar, sprint tv and already upgraded superuser a while ago ;)
[EVO 4G Android Development] rollrsk8ter:
I believe the only thing this new google voice changes is to add a widget.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MLjcJWg2Hn4&feature=player_embedded

I just flashed E3 over E1 without wiping data, did wipe cache and had to reinstall king's kernal.....worked fine for me (your mileage may vary)

Edit: here is all 3 widgets taken from the leaked G2, all work on my Evo (Voicemail, Launcher 2, HTC calibrate

[EVO 4G Android Development] SteelH:
Check OP for fix.
[EVO 4G Android Development] klbjr:
Anyway to get Vanilla lock, clock and other vanilla apps on this ROM? That and battery percent would make this sweet!!!!
[EVO 4G Android Development] tom1l21:
Probably only way is CM6
[EVO 4G Android Development] SteelH:
There is, but you need to look in the themes/apps forum for that stuff.

For example:

AOSP theme for EVO.

Vanilla Android AOSP Theme

I know you can get the vanilla lock screen by deleting HTCLockScreen.apk. There are more lockscreen mods HERE.

Not true. You can do battery percentage several ways on any EVO ROM.

For example:

Super Circle Battery Mod w/%

How to get HTC battery percentage widget on any Sense Rom

Smooth sense is another mod that has battery percentage. There are tons of battery mods, search and pick one you like.

There's another one that's cool that looks like fuel gauges in a car too.

Gmail Push not working?

I can't seem to get my gmail data (email/calendar/contact) to be pushed to my phone now with E3. Does anyone else have push notifications working? I have 4 gmail accounts and none of them work. All settings are set up correctly.

Edit: ok, my gmail.com account pushes, but none of my other "app" accounts (using gmail's mail servers) push like they used to.
[EVO 4G Android Development] kid1000:
Can I go back to the previous rom (rev2) as this one is great but i'm only getting 12hrs from a charge where b4 it was about 17hrs.... thanks for the info in advance
[EVO 4G Android Development] b0ricua:
SteelH,

If I were to flash this on my buddy's Evo today, would it include all of the fixes that are included in the OP? Or do I have to flash those separately?

And again, I searched for this question and it was answered but am still a little confused, but if I were rooting via SimpleRoot (OTA 1.47) and flashed this ROM on top would I need to update the Radio and Wimax? I guess that would depend if you know what state SimpleRoot leaves your phone in and which versions of the radio and Wimax are thereafter.

Thanks and sorry for the multiple questions...
[EVO 4G Android Development] b0ricua:
**Duplicate post**
[EVO 4G Android Development] jonyah:
Looks like I just had to clear my cache.
[EVO 4G Android Development] SteelH:
There is nothing but a few minor app updates between RevE2 and RevE3, and certainly nothing that would change battery life 5 hours.

Yes, it includes all the fixes. I have all of that noted/detailed in the change log.

Radio and WiMAX are ALWAYS flashed separately from custom ROMS (unless I missed someone who add those to a custom ROM).
[EVO 4G Android Development] b0ricua:
Rooted my buddy's Evo and successfully loaded this ROM, he loves it! Thanks SteelH! :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] SamJamz:
Not trying to be a jerk, but what makes this rom better than the others? You know what I really like is the picture gallery on the CM roms.... I haven't been able to find any other rom with a gallery like that.... is it the only one?
[EVO 4G Android Development] jonyah:
It's isn't that this is better or worse than any other rom. This one is meant to be as similar to the official rom as possible, for those who want their phone rooted, but not really changed much. At least with this I can go in and remove junk like the nascar app and do all the cool things that require rooting. I've tried lots of the roms out and am sticking with this for now, but that's just a personal choice. That's the great thing about android, we have choices.
[EVO 4G Android Development] dwvenus:
Short and to the point

Just got new HTC Incredible (bricked old one :eek:), totally stock and today got the Froyo 2.2 ota upgrade from VZW. Since I already bricked one phone I am treading a little bit lightly right now. Can my new phone now be rooted and s-off applied? I know how to do it, just don't know if the update will cause this phone to brick if I try it. Thanks for the help.
[EVO 4G Android Development] kast107:
I am a noob (and nearly bricked my Evo over the weekend, BTW), but my short answer is "NO." After reading Evo threads, there is no way to root OTA Android 2.2.

For the Evo, there is a method of reverting back to 2.1, then rooting, but I don't believe that this method applies to the Incredible.

Like I said before, I'm a noob who nearly bricked his Evo, so I would strongly suggest waiting for an Incredible root to come through.

If anyone, more knowledgable feels differently, then please chime in.

Hope this helps.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Ep3n3wp:
I'm kind a newb... But I think you in the wrong thread/forum... This is a rom for a SPRINT HTC EVO 4G NOT A VERIZON INCREDIBLE...

I heard flashing wrong rom and kernel can be a contributor to a bricked phone...
[EVO 4G Android Development] SteelH:
No one ever claimed this to be better than anything else. It's the stock ROM, rooted.. Either you like it or don't.

Two problems here friend.

#1 This isn't the forum for the HTC Incredible.

#2 This isn't a thread about rooted or S-OFF.

Please ask your questions in the appropriate places.

2.2 OTA Froyo is able to be rooted on the EVO. But this is not the place for that discussion.

That's a good question, afraid I don't have an answer. I just got home from work, my EVO has been off the charger since 5:30 am and it's now 9:00pm and I have 12% remaining. Only 4 app updates make the difference between RevE2 and RevE3 as I mentioned. There is a new superuser v2.3.5, you can grab it from the market and see if it fixes your issue. If you changed nothing else, than either one of those 4 apps is the culprit or something is fubar with your phone. No one else has mentioned any drop in battery life; so at this point it would seem limited to you.
[EVO 4G Android Development] BlueScreenOfTOM:
I don't think this is an issue with SteelH's rom (which is awesome btw) but I just wanted to drop a post here to make sure that others who are using it are not experiencing it. I'm still on E1, and I'm noticing that Wireless Tether is painfully slow, even over 4G. Speedtest.net on my phone shows like 4mbps but on my laptop connected via Wireless Tether it shows like .3mbps. I didn't have this issue with 2.1 (both phone and laptop showed > 3mbps), and I've noticed some other people who noted they had the same problem when they updated to 2.2. Can anyone else with active 4G using this rom confirm that they are getting full speeds over 4G with wireless tether?

EDIT: Yeah, I'm a dumbass. I tried clearing my Dalvik Cache and that seemed to do the trick. I thought I was clearing it, but it turns out I was just clearing the regular cache partition. Anyway, problem solved it seems...
[EVO 4G Android Development] bakuub:
A few pages back it was stated that you could get the vanilla lock screen if you deleted or renamed the HTClockscreen.apk. I did this and it worked but it seems there is a side effect that if lock is enabled and you are also using the standard alarm system (HTC?) for alarms that you won't be able to dismiss through the normal means. Is anyone else experiencing this trouble? In order for the alarm to be dismissed I had to either reset the alarm or wait for another alarm to go off while the screen was unlocked. Thanks for any input.

** Sorry SteelH, I attempted to edit this post after further looking through the lock screen collection thread after posting this but apparently the edit didn't save. My only remaining question is since these fixes were applied to the 2.1 build that should change for the current 2.2 we are running.
[EVO 4G Android Development] SteelH:
That is a known issue. It has NOTHING to do with this ROM. There is a solution to your problem in the lock screen collection thread.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ewells38:
Hey SteelH

Will you be releasing a version based on the new OTA update (v3.28.651.1)?, also possibly an DeoDexed version so that we can theme it ???

(please, please, please)... LOL :D
[EVO 4G Android Development] d0cx:
Woooo... Angry Birds works on this ROM using netarchy-toastmod 4.1.8 kernel. :)

also...what's new on the latest ota?
[EVO 4G Android Development] SteelH:
Yes.........
[EVO 4G Android Development] DroidGnome:
That new OTA came from WHERE exactly? From what I gather Flipz was able to get his hands on it before it's available in the wild 'somehow'.

If that's true, I'm probably going to stay away from it as we've already seen issues with OTA's being recalled etc...

Also I noticed Flipz added Superuser + Busybox (Which are fine for me anyway), but why did he add App2SD? Isn't that built into Froyo now anyway??

Also, SteelH does this mean you're done updating this ROM for future versions, or only if someone beats you to it? So far your ROM has been very solid and while I'm sure Flipz has a good rep with his Freshrom series, he stated that the other ROM isn't something he's going to maintain.

As far as Battery Life anyone's having, I highly suggest you check out "SetCPU" for the Evo. I've been using it with the following profiles and have greatly extended my battery life. With mild usage (a few calls, about 20 min of a game, gps always on, bluetooth on for about 8 hours ) I got over 24 hours yesterday before I had to replug it in. There are lots of threads about the proper settings, but the key is to underclock when the screen is off... that alone will save you lots of battery life.
[EVO 4G Android Development] tom1l21:
+1.. setcpu really gets me through the day... set to 245mhz when screen is off and watch ur battery life increase almost 2 fold
[EVO 4G Android Development] SteelH:
There is a limited function of moving applications to the SD card in Froyo, but the Apps2sd application has much better functionality.

Flipz posted an odexed version. There is also a deodexed version from someone else which is what I linked in a previous posting in this thread. It wouldn't make much sense for me to post another deodexed version of the same thing.

I am looking at the new OTA leak, but unsure if/what I will do with it right now.
[EVO 4G Android Development] SteelH:
There is a new patch in the OP. It fixes the MMS compression issue that the EVO has. - REMOVED
[EVO 4G Android Development] chino331:
This patch doesn't break anything else does it? I heard of a couple fixes that actually breaks other things lol Thanks as always Steel!
[EVO 4G Android Development] SteelH:
Didn't break anything on mine. What have you heard of it breaking?
[EVO 4G Android Development] chino331:
ah nevermind lol i'm confused, it's early - it's for something else regarding MMS. haha

I installed the patch, but when composing a MMS it still compresses the picture a lot - phone shows 31 KB/2048 KB.
[EVO 4G Android Development] SteelH:
Weird. That's how mine did it too. Now the pics are around 1M after patch. Do me a favor, wipe cache & dalvik and then reflash the fix and let me know if it still shrinks down to 32k. No need to wipe data, so you wont lose any apps or personal info. But phone will take a while to boot the first time.
[EVO 4G Android Development] chino331:
Just tried that. Still not working - showing 40 KB/2048 KB. :(
[EVO 4G Android Development] SteelH:
Thanks for trying. That's pretty weird, not sure what's going on there.

Has anyone else tried this? Let me know your results.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Adanedhels:
Ok so what happens if...

Ok so right now I'm on a regularly odexd rom. If I installed the deodexed version can I simply reinstall my nandroid backup or will that revert the build back to the odexed version?

Oh and does the deodexd version not have the ability to update its sprint apps anymore?

Thanks,

Adan
[EVO 4G Android Development] b0ricua:
If the nandroid backup you are reverting to is from your odexed ROM then it will restore you to that ROM and the exact state when it was backed up. So the answer is no...
[EVO 4G Android Development] Adanedhels:
DOH

I was pretty sure that was the answer... man it totally not worth all the effort to switch all my programs over then....
[EVO 4G Android Development] SteelH:
Done. OP updated. Apparently people are raving about the battery life improvement with this ROMs kernel.
[EVO 4G Android Development] kid1000:
SteelH you are the man im downloading now!!!!
[EVO 4G Android Development] v_lestat:
I havent seen a lick of difference with the leaked rom.

But i also am trying to investigate why my wifes unrooted phone gets way better battery life than i do.

And i dont mean an hour i mean 1/2 a day or more.

We both use supposed 3000mah batteries and i only get slightly better battery time than the stock battery so they are probably around 2000mah.

Either way the new rom isnt helping my battery life at all.

Last thing would be have you by chance changed the version numbers in the proper places so the market works properly?
