[EVO 4G Android Development] v_lestat:
stupid question but i have to ask since i have never asked before.

can i just open the zip file and delete all the sprint/HTC crap APK's that i dont want or use.

nascar, nfl, teeter, friendstream, etc etc etc.

i usually use root explorer and just rename them within the phone once i am flashed but if i can do it within the zip file before i flash that would be cool.
[EVO 4G Android Development] freeza:
You sure can. But I resign the zip file after changing anything inside of it just for good measure. I've never tried to flash with original signing after changing something.
[EVO 4G Android Development] v_lestat:
thanks chief,

what a perfect excuse to start learning about this kind of stuff (signing files) instad of leeching of you guys all the time.
[EVO 4G Android Development] caseyweed:
I tried installing and received an error:

E:Can't Symlink system/xbin/zcip

E:Failure at line 63:

Symlink busybox SYSTEM:xbin/zcip

I installed the unofficail release just fine, so I'm not sure what this is all about. I did a full wipe before installing.
[EVO 4G Android Development] exSD:
Full wipe and and then reboot into your recovery and try again.
[EVO 4G Android Development] theothermillion:
If you installed the unofficial release then you are no longer rooted... thats probably your problem
[EVO 4G Android Development] caseyweed:
I did a full wipe twice (data/factory reset ,Dalvik-cache) and tried installing when I got the error. So I tried the wipe and installation again and got the same error.

I should have clarified, I flashed the rooted unofficial release that came out on Friday.

Thanks for the responses though!
[EVO 4G Android Development] dan0412:
Ok.. just did a Nand restore to 1st release; very stable.
[EVO 4G Android Development] SteelH:
RevE is up. Things are looking better!
[EVO 4G Android Development] martijua:
I'll flash it in a bit. Will report back late tonight or most likely tomorrow.

Thanks!
[EVO 4G Android Development] phantomevo77:
Going to flash Rev E now, sick of all these bugs in other ROMS, hopefully this won't have any bugs or fewer less known bugs.. *sigh*
[EVO 4G Android Development] SteelH:
Well I squashed all the bugs that have been reported. It's hard to replicate the unknown.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jtc442:
Forum Title

i absolutely love the way you update the title each time you update!!! that is very much appreciated!! thanks steelH!!
[EVO 4G Android Development] emulatorx:
hey guys im on fresh 3.1.0.1..should i install this? will it work with netarchy 3.7.8b? and MANUP456 theme?
[EVO 4G Android Development] phantomevo77:
AWESOME!!!!

Thanks for the hard work we all appreciate it! I know I do!! :D
[EVO 4G Android Development] phantomevo77:
Flashed it, and its running awesome! No bugs to speak off that I can find.. Thank you very much!!
[EVO 4G Android Development] :
Wow, I flashed rev B a few days ago, and now you're all the way on E? I love your dedication! I'll update to the recent rev once you settle on one lol. Keep up the great work. A lot of people appreciate it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] SteelH:
Thanks, and your welcome.

That's for you to decide. But the whole purpose of this ROM was to make a stock, unaltered ROM that was deodexed so that you could theme it up or mod it, or not. This ROM provides you with a stock starting point, unlike all the customized ROMs out there. It will work with netarchys kernel and just about any theme.
[EVO 4G Android Development] martijua:
So far everything is looking and working good in Rev.E , thanks again!
[EVO 4G Android Development] emulatorx:
thanks, Im gonna give this a shot, i of course have a nand backup in place..so why not..this seems more better

if i install this rev E, what will i hav eto do for future updates like rev F and what not..just flash the new one without doing any wipes?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Spacen:
Flashed, restored titanium backups, so far, so good. Absolutely no problems. Thank you for all of your hard work! I haven't seen anyone address problems as quickly as you do.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Vdubtx:
Worth a try to just flash revision over your current. Tempted to try this ROM, on Fresh currently with Manup Theme over it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] rickosborne:
Upgraded from Rev A to E, works great

I was running Rev A with only a few of the bugs mentioned (Maps, su). I did a full Titanium backup, followed by a full Clockwork backup via ROM Manager, then upgraded to Rev E. After the Titanium restore everything looks great and seems to be in working order -- barely an hour from start to finish. Maps even works! My only nitpick is that my custom boot animation was overridden, but that's easy enough to fix.

Thanks, Steel! Awesome job!
[EVO 4G Android Development] SteelH:
Yeah, I did list that as a change in the OP. Sorry, I couldn't take the Sprint jingle anymore!
[EVO 4G Android Development] jdr6382:
I got it all loaded up and can confirm that the wireless tether does work using this method. The pre 7 did not work. I tried pre3 next and it worked. I did however have to try it once, it failed, closed and reopened the app and it worked like a charm. Thanks for the help.
[EVO 4G Android Development] emulatorx:
ok, so i did a full wipe..factory data/dalvik and cache..Im up and running ..but Why cant I update facebook and why cant i install the htc tip calculator widget? any ideas?

had the same problem with fresh 3.1.0.1 i was able to update facebook using the update that flipzmode included with fresh? can i just flash that on this....but the tip calc thing doesnt work, i goto download more htc widgets , it downloads but doesnt install
[EVO 4G Android Development] Spacen:
I have the pre 7 version on this ROM and tethering works perfectly. I am not using netarchy's kernel, just the stock kernel. Others have confirmed this as working on this ROM as well.
[EVO 4G Android Development] SteelH:
What version is the facebook you have? 1.3.1 is the newest. The extra widgets I'll have to look into.
[EVO 4G Android Development] emulatorx:
im assuming its the one before 1.3.0.. which version is preinstalled on Rev E? when i went to the market to update to 1.3.1 it failed to install
[EVO 4G Android Development] Spacen:
I can confirm the "more htc widgets" issue.

FB updated for me immediately upon market launch the first time and was successful.
[EVO 4G Android Development] myndwire:
latest revE forces data wipe... can you take this step out by any chance? really don't want to have to wipe just for su perms to be fixed.. didn't have to for the last one...
[EVO 4G Android Development] jdr6382:
I will try it on the "E" revision right now. Is there any benefits to using the netarchy kernel?
[EVO 4G Android Development] SteelH:
Pfftt... Damn thing slipped back in there somehow. It's fixed, link updated in OP.
[EVO 4G Android Development] sanjsrik:
I'm hoping this isn't a stupid question. But, if I used the original file you posted RevA I think, can I flash this over that one and be okay?

OR, do I have to wipe first and then flash?

Thank you in advance.
[EVO 4G Android Development] sanjsrik:
Would it be possible to put a version of the ROM up that DOES force a data wipe?

Thank you in advance.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Warboy:
So whats the main difference between RevB and RevE?

it seems RevB is only missing facebook and maps, doesn't have any issues at all.
[EVO 4G Android Development] SteelH:
No way to guarantee one way or the other. Make a nandroid backup, try without wipe first and find out.

Done.

Well, some people reported that some apps were FC on them.
[EVO 4G Android Development] kevinniven:
camera

Getting ready to go to a birthday party is the camera and video working ok? thx the hard work!
[EVO 4G Android Development] SteelH:
Camera has not had any reports of issues. Camcorder works, but someone said it stopped working after awhile(but that was before RevE) so not 100% sure on camcorder.
[EVO 4G Android Development] sanjsrik:
I did a wipe using Amon Ra, even though Bootmanager Pro complained, seemed better to heed good advice, downloading the wipe version of the ROM now.

Thank you for the quick file posting.
[EVO 4G Android Development] sanjsrik:
Is there a way to include 270degree rotation in this stock ROM? Or do we have to flash another one that has this?
[EVO 4G Android Development] SteelH:
All extra HTC widgets are attached to this post for your widgeting pleasure.

Attached is a zip file of the apks so you can pick & choose which ones you want to manually install.

Or, you can download the flashable zip and flash all the extra HTC widgets from recovery.
[EVO 4G Android Development] SteelH:
270° rotation is built into Froyo, no need for anything extra. Open up the browser and tilt you phone all over and you'll see it in action.
[EVO 4G Android Development] SteelH:
Get more widgets now fixed!

Sprint TV Widget now fixed!
[EVO 4G Android Development] Spacen:
SteelH, do you have a donation link? I would like to buy you a beer.

Edit: are those fixes incorporated into the full ROMs in the OP?
[EVO 4G Android Development] SteelH:
Stand by, the OP will be update in a few minutes to answer your questions and provide a new link.

UPDATE @ 1750 - New link to RevE.1 up
[EVO 4G Android Development] myndwire:
E.1 still has the stock bootani right? :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] SteelH:
Yes it does. I removed the customization in E and E.1. You made a good point not to change it, trying to keep this ROM stock & working!
[EVO 4G Android Development] sanjsrik:
I installed the wipe version of revision E (not the latest E1) and I have no issues watching tv, don't quite care about the extra widgets so I didn't bother to check if they work.

Thanks for all your efforts.
[EVO 4G Android Development] myndwire:
true that, although i did like the r2d2 droid animation, this rom's on my wife's phone, and she wanted to stay stock, but i wanted it rooted for future use (def don't want stuck in the unrootable boat now that it's such a low priority to root stock 2.2 units), so this is the ultimate compromise.

as for me, i wouldn't have it any other way than cyanogenmod -- not just b/c of how awesome AOSP is all around, but he's also a good friend IRL of like 9 years.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ewells38:
Thanks, was looking for a deOdexed Stock. Great work.

Quick question, when I flashed Rev E. was running fine. Primarily the GMail app. However when I flashed a Theme (Riptide9 Froyo theme), GMail then FC'd and could no longer get it to work.

Does Rev E.1 work eith themes ? if so which themes ?
[EVO 4G Android Development] jdr6382:
Just checked the camcorder on the revE, no issues to report.
[EVO 4G Android Development] SteelH:
I understand completely. I have an invisible lock screen, I've changed my Sprint banner, I've removed the GPS off icon, changed wallpaper, added several root apps, and many other things to my own phone.

This ROM is great for people who want stock but also the benefits of root. My goal was to provide a stock deodexed ROM. This way, people can choose what they want to modify or leave alone. Some people like Sense UI, some hate it. Some people like orange themes, some blue, some red. With a stock deodexed ROM available, all those theme developers out there have a stock base to start from.

It should work with any theme for Froyo 2.2. Most all themes I've seen required a deodexed ROM, and for several good reasons I won't get into as they are explained at length elsewhere. I've actually tested 3 already just to be sure it works as it should.

Good to know. I've recorded over 30 minutes so far on mine, still going strong.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jdr6382:
the pre 7 is working just fine, and I did not use the netarchy kernel as you suggested. thanks.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Spacen:
Just Flashed E1 without wiping data or cache and have no issues to report. I noticed all htc widgets are now preinstalled. Is this the fix? If htc releases more downloadable widgets will they install?
[EVO 4G Android Development] n7aq00:
IMO I think this is the best ROM that I have used thus far...
[EVO 4G Android Development] SteelH:
Yes that is the fix, if you don't want them just uninstall them. No way of telling if they will release more in the future of if the will install. We'll cross that bridge when we get there.

Thanks
[EVO 4G Android Development] dan0412:
Front camera, 1 MP?

Can someone else confirm if the front camera is fixed at 1 MP? I just installed Rev E.1 and the max is 1 MP.

Thanks.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Vdubtx:
How is the battery life with this ROM?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Shane Pitman:
Confirmed.
[EVO 4G Android Development] gregkeys:
Is there a trick to getting 4g to work on this build?

I flashed, Rev E, and the radio/wimax updates from netarchy's thread. Everything seems to be working as it should except it never connects to 4g. My girl friend's non rooted evo will connect so I know the signal is present. Im just wondering if I needed to change some setting after flashing to get it to work?
[EVO 4G Android Development] v_lestat:
here i am just about ready to update from my original deodexed and yet another issue pop's up.

man....

this is why i stick with stock rooted roms.... deodexed.... they work, period.
[EVO 4G Android Development] DroidGnome:
What exactly was wrong with the Sprint TV widget?

Not that I use it at all, but I put it on my homescreen and it launches Sprint TV just fine, even showed me some sort of news... is there supposed to be some other functionality that wasn't working?

I haven't installed the E1 build yet.. still on E, wondering if I should bother. (Also my HTC widgets seem fine, and I can still click on "Get more widgets" too... very odd if those were both bugs of Revision E)
[EVO 4G Android Development] n7aq00:
Yeah.. mine is working fine. Kind of curious too..
[EVO 4G Android Development] SteelH:
Please, before claiming something is a problem, make sure it is first. This is not a bug, problem, or missing feature. Nothing is broken here. Also, if you haven't noticed, the front camera mirrors the image. Try putting something with text in front of it and you will see. This is a bug in the EVO OTA Froyo, Google it and you'll see.

The only 2 available resolutions on the EVO's front camera are:

1M (1280 x 960)

Small (640 x 480)

This is the way it always was, in 2.1 and 2.2.
[EVO 4G Android Development] SteelH:
Huh? This is a stock deodexed ROM.

Some people had problem with it and I was able to replicate the issue and fix it for them. If yours isn't broken, don't fix it.

PS. Nice nick BTW droidgnome.
[EVO 4G Android Development] dan0412:
I thought the back camera had 8MP resolution and the front was 3MP?
[EVO 4G Android Development] dan0412:
4g works ok here ... with build E.1.(didn't have to reflash radio or wimax.)
[EVO 4G Android Development] SteelH:
Sorry, but that is incorrect. Rear is 8MP, front is 1.3MP.

Read EVO specs here.

No tricks at all, 4G works as it is supposed to. See attachment for proof. (I drove 10 miles this morning to get to an area with 4G just to test this, it works fine on RevE and RevE.1)
[EVO 4G Android Development] jorpe:
I put this on my sd card with the name update.zip and when I boot to recovery to try to update it says

E:signature verification failed
[EVO 4G Android Development] jimbobtexas:
Problems

A couple of problems with this latest one:

- Titanium backup won't install from Market. If you try to cancel the download, it FCs the Market app.

- Market apps say they're installed, but aren't. Go back to market, still downloading. Not all apps, but Titanium for sure, and Caller ID Faker.

- Handcent is taking FOREVER to start up/display conversations

- Weather app has lost its mind - says it's 89 and raining here. (91, not a cloud in the sky).

Yes, I wiped cache and Dalvik cache.
[EVO 4G Android Development] SteelH:
Put what on your sd card?
[EVO 4G Android Development] wsantiagow:
Maybe your Wimax is Bricked

Is there a trick to getting 4g to work on this build?

I flashed, Rev E, and the radio/wimax updates from netarchy's thread. Everything seems to be working as it should except it never connects to 4g. My girl friend's non rooted evo will connect so I know the signal is present. Im just wondering if I needed to change some setting after flashing to get it to work?

Just curious, There are a few of us who did not use Unrevoke and we have recently bricked our wimax from one of the newer radios posted somewhere in the forum that came from a OTA Rooted 2.2.

What is your MAC address? Use root Explorer from the Market and go into the folder- data, Misc, Wimax, and there is an XML file with your MAC. IF its 001608002405.tree.xml then you are screwed as well.

I am trying to track down the cause of this to warn others. I also had to order a replacement from Sprint.
[EVO 4G Android Development] dan0412:
Thanks ....for the clarification.
[EVO 4G Android Development] wsantiagow:
Please let us know your findings. Thanks.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jorpe:
this ROM, I renamed it and put it on the SD card and flashed it from clockworks recovery.
[EVO 4G Android Development] SteelH:
Well, as the OP says, AmonRa. FYI, AmonRa will ONLY let you flash SIGNED zips, so I know the signature is fine. That, and the fact that many other people have flashed and can run this ROM it fine tells me your need to re-download the ROM and/or download it from another one of the links and start over.

Well something is wrong with your phone or your method, not this ROM. Several people have reported to me that TI backup installs just fine on RevE and RevE.1 (and I have personally tested it on my own EVO). See attached pictures.

As far as handcent & your weather app, no idea there. Doesn't sound like a ROM problem, sounds like an app problem or network problem.

One suggestion I will make, when you first flash this or any other Froyo ROM, immediately after completing the initial setup screen, reboot. For some reason it seems to make the phone much snappier & more responsive (although I could be imagining things on this one).
[EVO 4G Android Development] jorpe:
since I'm a noob and by defualt used clockworks recovery to wipe the dalvik-cache and I'm now in an endless reboot cycle... can someone help me out to fix this?

It boots to the point of the 4g animation then starts over with the sprint animation and sound, and endlessly repeats
[EVO 4G Android Development] SteelH:
adb reboot recovery

It'll toss you back into recovery mode.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jimbobtexas:
Not my first rodeo - my method is sound as a pound, but here's another bit of info: Manup's theme was installed after flashing. I'll reflash the ROM and not apply Manup and see if that makes a difference. Up to this point, I've not seen these issues with the previous versions of this ROM (which I've been faithfully tracking ;)), save for the Titanium issue with su. I'll reflash and report back.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Shane Pitman:
Sorry, I didn't take it that the previous poster was reporting it as a bug, but asking for verification that the front camera was working properly at 1MP, rather than something less. I was confirming that it was indeed 1MP, but I can see how it could be viewed the other way.

At any rate, nice work, no problems whatsoever since the E1 release.
[EVO 4G Android Development] SteelH:
Now if only I could fix HTCs mirroring f$%#-up on the front camera.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mrkrabs:
Does anyone have the stock kernel from this specific rom ?
[EVO 4G Android Development] SteelH:
The kernel is stock in this ROM.
[EVO 4G Android Development] gregkeys:
I checked my mac it matches under the battery, so it's not bricked. Could using clockwork to flash cause something to not be aligned properly and screw up 4g?
[EVO 4G Android Development] SteelH:
This ROM doesn't touch your WiMAX radio. Screwing that up has to do with flashing WiMAX radio update, not to be rude, but, this isn't the thread to ask about it. As far as Clockwork, well the OP gives my opinion on that.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mrkrabs:
Do u have just like the kernel itself? In case I switch to netarchy and then wanna switch back? Or is there a way I can do this myself?
[EVO 4G Android Development] SteelH:
The stock kernel is posted in netarchy's thread.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jdr6382:
full root

would I have to revert back to 2.1 and use one of the methods to full root, and then re-flash this rom back to 2.2 in order to have full root?

or can I get full root at this point after already using this rom for 2.2?
[EVO 4G Android Development] SteelH:
If you have root access then do toasts part 2 for full root.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jdr6382:
on point! thank you much!
[EVO 4G Android Development] rollrsk8ter:
Just want to say Thanks!

Thanks StellH

Thanks also to netarchy, dsixda, and Hero_Over

I flashed E.1 with RA, I had already had the latest radio and wimax

Flashed with RA, wipeing data/cache/dalvik cache twice before Install

I have had one problem, Amazon Mp3 would not install via Market.

I uninstalled with titanium backup (which installed from market with no problems)

and then it installed successfully.

I have tested by installing swype, sky maps, goggles, pandora, slacker, Endomondo, drivesafe.ly, Weatherbug, News Rob, Colornote, dolphin browser, quickboot, my backup, K-9 Mail, SetCPU, Tunewiki, Earth, Places directory, power manager, dictionary.com, camera360, appbrain...everything I throw at it installs and works flawlessly!! I have taken 720p video, used the camera to take50 pictures.

Next, I will backup once more and try netarchy's latest kernel.

Again...thank you!
[EVO 4G Android Development] SteelH:
Thanks for all the details and testing. At least if someone else has a problem with that amazon mp3 you have already provided a solution. Keep in mind the one thing iffy about netarchy's kernel is the rear camera resolution. Other than that it's a pretty nice kernel. When the source comes out for Froyo, you can bet he'll have a bad azz fully working kernel for us.
[EVO 4G Android Development] SteelH:
Extra HTC Widgets

Here are some HTC widgets that HTC didn't include in the OTA Froyo. See screen shots (ShootMe app gets the job done, but clarity sucks) to see them in action.

com.htc.rosiewidgets.battery.apk

com.htc.rosiewidgets.callmom.apk

com.htc.rosiewidgets.daychallenge.apk

com.htc.rosiewidgets.quickrecord.apk

com.htc.rosiewidgets.task.apk

The attached zip file is NOT flashable. Download to your PC, copy them over to your sdcard and install with whatever file manager you use.
[EVO 4G Android Development] rollrsk8ter:
Did you forget to attach the zip file for extra widgets?
[EVO 4G Android Development] n7aq00:

Wifi tether is not working with stock kernel for me.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jdr6382:
are you using wireless tether pre 7?
[EVO 4G Android Development] notmike:
*edit, herp derp

So wifi tethering wasn't working for me, I tried the netarchy kernal BEFORE trying to pre7 version of Wifi Tethering, so I could never get it to work. Just needed to reflash this ROM and start fresh with pre7, no netarchy at all, this solved the problem and tethering now works great.
[EVO 4G Android Development] notmike:
*edit.. my 4g speeds went through the roof with this rom, I was seeing close to 8mb/s down when before the best I'd seen is 2.9mb/s.. but after switching to the odexed version trying to fix tethering, and now back to this one, the 4g speeds are back down to 2.9mb/s like they've been since I got the phone. Wondering how they managed to skyrocket briefly like this. Have a second evo beside me that's averaging higher speeds but it's on a lower PRL.. will experiment more with it later...
[EVO 4G Android Development] jimbobtexas:
Did a factory wipe (grrr), and reflashed. All is well again. Must've been some waxy build-up from prior installs.
[EVO 4G Android Development] m3Jorge:
Anyone able to install Flash 10.1 Beta 3 using RevE.1? It keeps giving me an error (search market for Flash to find it)...

Edit: weird thing I noticed the odexed version doesn't show Flash in the market... may be incompatible with HTC's Flash version?

same thing for me...
