Funny, been playing with the phone so much hadn't actually done much web surfing and didn't notice that this browser doesn't have an option on settings to not go to mobile sites...native one did...

What is this About: debug thing?
[EVO 4G Android Development] vaelek:
It doesn't make a whole lot of sense... but the method the OS uses to scale for different screens is the dip unit of measurement (device independent pixel). The formula for converting these to render on the screen is pixel = 1dip * (density / 160). So based on this, to achieve 1:1, the density would be set to 160, and a higher value would actually result in a lower "resolution". so at the default density of 240, 1dip = 1.5 pixels. I didn't think anyone would want it that high, it does get to be a bit much. But if I'm wrong, I can always add a native option to ResToggle for you all.
[EVO 4G Android Development] vaelek:
browse to about:debug (it won't look like anything happened), then go to settings and there is a debug section. The UAString option can be used to turn off mobile browsing. Only thing is it doesn't stick. (for now)

Each time you do it it will toggle the visibility of the debug section, so if you're not sure if it worked, check the settings before trying again or you may end up turning it back off when it was really there.
[EVO 4G Android Development] silvagp98:
I'm a fan! I could see it getting a little annoying that apps that don't adjust to the setting take up about a quarter of the screen...but everything else looks sweet to me. thanks for the instructions!

Edit: Question...shouldn't the notification bar change with the higher res? if so then i managed to screw this up, if not, then this would probably get obnoxious.
[EVO 4G Android Development] BIGWORM:
Do it. I can see myself playing with this a lot. LOL!

"Excellent! So the hulu app actually works this time?"

Not a big Hula user but just finished off an episode of Psych so yep, seems to be working..

Nvm, got it
[EVO 4G Android Development] Bloodykiller86:
hey this is kinda off topic but i was just wondering vaelek..is there a way to edit something in the system files to autoboot an .sh file? the program i use sometimes wants to ask for superuser permissions and sometimes it doesnt so im trying to work around it lol
[EVO 4G Android Development] sudhirkhanger:
Hey can somebody please post fm widget apk? I was able to install fm apk but there is no widget. Thanks.
[EVO 4G Android Development] vaelek:
Been a while since I tried 160, but if you mean the notifications don't actually fill the pull down, I noticed that before and not sure how easy it would be to "fix" that one. If that's not what you mean, then could you elaborate?

Woot! :)

Can you explain a little more about what you want to accomplish or what the issue is?

The FM Widget is a SenseUI only one. Just tried it to confirm and it is not able to be used here.

Edit: POS "unexpiring" swype I had included appears to have just expired. Searching for an updated one...
[EVO 4G Android Development] jahnile:
This should be an "unexpiring" Version of Swype, let me know if it is....

Edit. Removing link,there is a later version available @ Vaelek' place.
[EVO 4G Android Development] adma84:
check your PM Vaelek
[EVO 4G Android Development] vaelek:
Got it ;)

I just tested adding a contact with the HTC and AOSP contacts and didn't have any problems. Added to both Google & Phone contacts.

Which version of the rom are you running, and is it a fresh install or update from 2.0. When was the last time you wiped caches?, and when did it first start happening?

Last, is there anything special you're adding to the contact? or just name & #? that's what I tested)
[EVO 4G Android Development] Noel2255:
Hey, I flashed your rom 2.1 not to long ago, and my phone wouldn't turn on any more. Now I had to wipe everything and flash everything again.
[EVO 4G Android Development] vaelek:
How do you mean it wouldn't turn on? What was the last thing you did before it stopped working? If it starts to boot, how far does it get? Does it loop? Is everything working ok now?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Noel2255:
Well, It'd go to the screen that says vaelpak and the animation stopped moving in the letters. It wouldn't do anything for like 10 mins. So I pulled out the battery. Turned it on again and it would be on the htc evo 4g screen and it wouldn't do anything from there. Now that I wiped and flashed again everything fine.
[EVO 4G Android Development] regulator207:
Hey did sprint tv work for anybody?
[EVO 4G Android Development] adma84:
@vael, what do I remove to completely kill sprint voicemail. I only use goog voice, but the service still runs for Sprint VVM
[EVO 4G Android Development] vaelek:
You have to install the Sprint App Updater also, tv still won't update though, you can get it here

So anyone who clicks that link will notice, it does not go to XDA. For about 2 years now, Vaelek.com has hosted a blog that has been idle for about 1 year. So I've re-purposed it as the official forum for VaelPak. This will allow me to keep much better tabs on everything that is going on and a lot easier for you all to find what you are looking for without having to go through almost 200 pages of a single thread now. It is not 100% complete but is pretty close. Come on by eh? ;)

ps. Since I'll support damn near any problem anyhow, the forum is not just for VaelPak.

Easiest way is to use Titanium Backup to uninstall it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] :
I checked out the website and its very nice! :) You should take the day off and enjoy this craptaculor day! Lol.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Bloodykiller86:
well basically vaelek you can check out the app on the market its called autostart root but what it does is execute that .sh file at boot. since im on MetroPCS i need that file executed at boot to get data and internet apps working but sometimes it wont ask for root permissions and therefore i cant get it to work without that so i was wondering if there was any way to execute the .sh file without the need for that app?
[EVO 4G Android Development] sudhirkhanger:
Expired Swype - It's trying to download .bin instead of apk.
[EVO 4G Android Development] vaelek:
New version posted here
[EVO 4G Android Development] crimeslunk:
This is a great rom Vael. Many thanks go out to you man. Though I think its missing a few things you could think about adding. Not to sure how labor intensive these things are but music control on lock screen (unless that is only a sense player option), long press vol up and down to change tracks (maybe cyanogen can be asked the simplest way to incorporate that), square parts for some reason. I feel I'm missing it.

With or without them I think I'll be sticking with your rom but I think those things would make it an absolute power house.

Also quick question why can't I edit your set cpu txt to add a couple extra speeds on the end? If I use the auto detect the last speed literally turns my phone black until it reboot but I still want a little more speed available then your txt provides.
[EVO 4G Android Development] elapshtc:
I believe a lot of the issues people are having is from the bfs9 kernal.

My evo would at times stay at 100% cpu usaged from the system. It would lag so bad that it would take bout a minute for the screen to turn on once the power button was pushed. Had to reboot each time to fix.

I since have flashed the bfs8 kernal over the 2.1 rom and have no further problems.
[EVO 4G Android Development] vaelek:
The lock screen widget is on my list. You should be able to edit the setcpu.txt. It is in /system/sd. You may need to enable r/w first.

Yea this has pretty much been confirmed that it's BFS9 causing the problems. 2.2 will either go back to 8 or 10 if it is out.
[EVO 4G Android Development] MSmith1:
Vael- im still on 2.0 because I modified it a bit and I haven't had the time to upgrade to 2.1 and remodify but I want to put the working dsp app on my phone. is it a matter of extracting the new apk and installing or is there some framework files involved as well?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Sed8ing:
YOU do not have to remodify with upgrade !!!!!!!!!

IT IS AWESOME! No need to do anything but update and it even clears the cache and dalvik for you!

Although, as you notice on the post above you should re flash the BFS 8 afterward but that is simple and again doesn't change any of your settings or set up
[EVO 4G Android Development] sudhirkhanger:
Since i use LauncherPro does it make system any faster if i remove HTC widgets from /system/apps/
[EVO 4G Android Development] sudhirkhanger:
thank you so much.:)
[EVO 4G Android Development] Sed8ing:
Anyone have any recs on new micro SDHC cards for the EVO?

Anyone have a 16 or 32? Class 6? Any issues with this rom or others in using these?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Sed8ing:
You should try and get your forum on Tapatalk for those of us enthralled with our phones and not using our laptops anymore :-)
[EVO 4G Android Development] vaelek:
The fix I provided was a flashable zip, but if you don't want to do that you should be able to just uninstall the one that is there (think you'll have to use titanium since it's in system/app) and then install the apk from the zip. You can grab it over at the new forum here.

The remaining htc widgets *should* be dormant, and just haven't been removed yet because there hasn't been time to test properly without them. But you shouldn't notice any speed difference with or without them present.

We are now on TapaTalk!
[EVO 4G Android Development] grotonsailor:
I did a fresh install running 2.1 wiped everything twice first time I added a new contact it fc'd still doing it
[EVO 4G Android Development] hammysink:
I'm trying to duplicate your FC. Would you let me know exactly which fields you're populating in the contacts app?
[EVO 4G Android Development] midnightmaraude:
Ummm is anyone else having issues rexeiving texts. All day yesterfay all texts sent to me were not received. I didnt start getting new texts until I rebootrd phone

Im using chomp sms not sure if its that or the rom. My buddy and his wife delivered their baby last night and we didnt know til we texted them just now.
[EVO 4G Android Development] :
I beleive it is Sprint. I am having same issue and so is a friend and her phone is bone stock.

only with BFS9 kernel, using 8 now...and no more lockups...you are using Snap though, so I have no idea...btw, I thought Snap was ONLY for CM
[EVO 4G Android Development] grotonsailor:
ok so when i receive a call then end it i go into call log hit the + sign add to contacts / either or google select home, cell. etc. save FC
[EVO 4G Android Development] noxiouskill:
Hey Vael, I found it necessary to enter my very first post on your thread. Just want to say that I think this rom rocks. I think I have every rom downloaded, and I must say... Hats off to you! Simply amazing. The only thing i've changed was the kernal. I get faster response from snap 7.6 w/turbo. Yes it does work. Only glitch I have is my swype keyboard doesn't swype. Other than that, all is well. Thanks for your hard work.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Novarider:
Vael, now that most of the problems are fixed do you think you could start on some themes? Like the theme that has clear icons and clear notification bar and the battery circle mod. Anything different really, I just want a different look
[EVO 4G Android Development] hammysink:
I was unable to duplicate your FC :( My contact was added just fine from call log.

I keep seeing people having problems with kings 9, but its working better than 8 did for me.. Its stable at 1.26 and my cpu is staying around 8% used and that's from the system app
[EVO 4G Android Development] Sed8ing:
Not sure... cool that #9 works for you but the difference between 8 and 9 are night and day for me.... almost rendered my phone unusable especially when trying to actually make phone calls (a novel idea for a phone)...would basically lag about 3 numbers behind... was killing me...now after flashing 8 i feel like it is anticipating 3 numbers or letters ahead... actually it does with the swype keyboard dictionary ;)

Hey can I'm new to custom roms. So all I do is flash the latest valpak Rom ? And all should be good?
[EVO 4G Android Development] vaelek:
As long as you are rooted yes.

If you are using Rom Manager, select the option to wipe (and backup is recommended) when flashing.

If doing it from recovery, wipe data, cache, and dalvik cache, then flash the rom.

Check the forum in my sig for the faq and most current news/discussions.

Thank u bout to try it
[EVO 4G Android Development] d1reyad85:
so i flash this rom to day so far am loving it have no problem so far i would like to put the htc kernal but i see 3 zip in the post how do i go about flashing the htc kernal?
[EVO 4G Android Development] vaelek:
Go to the forum in my sig. In the 2.1 section there is a files sticky with the kernel.
[EVO 4G Android Development] kingkongsmith:
How do I get the HTC browser .
[EVO 4G Android Development] d1reyad85:
All i need to do is flash the Htc kernal what about the other 2 zip? do i need to flash that
[EVO 4G Android Development] vaelek:
I don't know what other 2 zips you are referring to.
[EVO 4G Android Development] vaelek:
Use titanium backup to uninstall the included one, then install from vaelpak-extras/replaced on your sdcard.

I love ur Rom. One question I'm not seeing flash content on the browser...
[EVO 4G Android Development] vaelek:
Been working without problems as far as I know. I see a Flash update was put out today, do you have that installed? Perhaps it breaks something.
[EVO 4G Android Development] bigant262:
There's no need to be an ass about people not using the search. Yes, it does get annoying seeing the same questions asked over and over, but thats just the way its going to be on any forum.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Success100:
it is needed, and im not being an ass, people keep asking vael the same questions that have been answered several times in this thread alone, which stinks for the rest of us who are really trying to figure out bugs and fixes. its fundamental forum etiquette to at least attempt to search before posting, you know this
[EVO 4G Android Development] ginjeet:
It's official. This is the longest period I've stayed on any single rom. Amazing.

Thank you developers and advanced users for answering noob question.
[EVO 4G Android Development] bjitty:
Flash currently works great for me in VaelPak 2.0.

I notice the update isn't showing up in the market (most likely because it was included in the ROM and not installed from the market).

To update should I just uninstall the current version of flash that was included and install from the market?

I'll try that later. However I want to wait until I have a chance to do a backup first in case it causes issues. Thought I'd check in the mean time and see if anyone knew though.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ginjeet:
I kinda recall flash updating itself shortly after I flashed the rom. Maybe you're current. Or current enough? Curious.

Edit: I just hit market and then downloads and there it is now. Cool. Try there.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ginjeet:
True story. I think needless comments like this one (mine) should incur some wrath too, don't ya think? lol
[EVO 4G Android Development] bjitty:
Hmmmm ... It's still not showing up for me.

I'll try a few things when I get a chance.
[EVO 4G Android Development] teknow:
Time w/out Signal & Grooveshark & other radio streams

The latest rom has been performing fantastically save a few things.

1. All VaelPak Roms have proven exceptional battery life overall yet the time w/out signal is usually 43-50%. This is despite being on wifi at home aprox 15 hours a day where signal is usually reported at 2 bars 3G constantly & at work full signal 3G the remainder of the time. Is this just the system misreporting? I ask because time w/out signal was low (aprox. 13% or less) on the stock roms.

Anyone else seeing this?

2. Grooveshark while now working on 2.1 is playing 2 songs at most before cutting out regardless of playlist, artist, etc. A strange issue...

3. Streaming internet radio via shoutcast is having similar short interval playing issues.

Each update has been fantastic. Your support has been phenomenal, I'm donating tonight
[EVO 4G Android Development] bigant262:
Lol, same with me, off topic discussions should be left out! lol. Back to the rom now, lol, I decided to install CFS7 and my battery life is excellent now, I had tried BFS9, BFS8 and CFS8 and my battery would just go really fast, and I even have an extended battery! So if anyone is having problems with battery, try Kings CFS7 and see if that works for you.

And this is just a question for everyone that uses this rom, which launcher do you use? LauncherPro or ADW? I've been using ADW for a while now and I tried out LauncherPro again, and it seems snappier, but I think I'm just gonna stick with ADW, more settings and features. :) Post pics of your current setup, I'll post mine tomorrow or something.

People - Company Directory

Using HTC's People, when I go to Menu, Company Directory, it FC's (process com.android.htccontacts has stopped unexpectedly). Something seems to be amiss. Anybody else use exchange tried doing a lookup from the People app in the company directory?
[EVO 4G Android Development] ginjeet:
That's funny. I did a restore after I f'ed around with some theme pieces to an older nandroid, and it didn't show up in updates right away either. So I did the updates, and about the third round of checking, it did turn up. Kind of odd. It's out there for sure. Elusive at any rate.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ginjeet:
I think I'll try that too. Not like I own three regular and one 3500mah batteries (so far). Worth a shot.
[EVO 4G Android Development] adma84:
Also getting FC's in people app for Corp Directory...I just reported this in the VaelPak forums...Same problem :(
[EVO 4G Android Development] vaelek:
1. I have wondered this myself, my % seems unusually high at times. But it does only show a value when I'm at home where I know the signal sucks.

2. I just started using groove shark yesterday, every now and then it shows a unknown media player error or something like that and moves on to the next one, but I think this has only happened twice, and only when I was roaming. Not sure if it's an app issue or connection issue or what. Other than that It's working smooth as silk for me, WAY better than last.fm ever did.

3. I don't have any thing to test this with. Haven't messed with anything shoutcast since the early WinAmp days lol. How is your signal when this is happening? Even with the new stagefright libs it seems it handles it very poorly at times when the signal is not so good.

Are you also using the HTC Email app setup with an Exchange account? I have heard that the HTC email does not work with GAL. I personally bounce between Touchdown & Moxier for exchange and do not use the email app at all.

(Forgot to quote this one but...) Kings kernels, BFS and CFS can all be found here: http://kingxklick.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=117&p=1611#p1611
[EVO 4G Android Development] teknow:
1. Glad I'm not alone. The time w/out signal is reporting fairly consistently regardless of reception area I'm in (home vs work) You say it only shows a value in poor reception areas; do you mean it full signal strength it says time w/out signal is 0% ?

2. Groove shark showed marked improvements this morning. I'm often inclined to believe there are sporadic issues between their servers & the android client regardless of connection via Wifi or Sprint.

3. It is funny but shoutcast is the most direct way to get the streaming radio feeds from Somafm. In the past soma has had some issues w/ some of their streams via shoutcast so it certainly could be issues on their end again. I only reported on it because of the concurrence w/ the Groove shark issues. I may need to find a way to lift the url's directly from the soma site and put them on Tunewiki. Signal is full wifi but when this is occurring it is in the basement where I am roaming (during workout)

We can move this over Valek.com for future questions/responses to keep this forum a bit more streamlined if you like
[EVO 4G Android Development] adma84:
Grooveshark is the least reliable streaming service. Generally it goes

1.Pandora

2.Slacker

3. Grooveshark

This is mostly a server side issue in my opinion...Same exact performance on android as with my Pre
[EVO 4G Android Development] vaelek:
For me personally, since I started using Groove Shark I have not looked back. By the time a song starts playing it is already buffered about 15% and rarely glitches. 30 seconds into the song it is fully buffered and already buffering the next one. I do have the paid version so maybe there is a difference there, but for features and reliability, for me, groove shark is #1, followed by last.fm only because they allow unlimited skipping.
[EVO 4G Android Development] adma84:
Vael, did you see my post about FC when I went to corporate directory in People app. I think some sense app may be missing (sense email or something) in order for this to work. I posted it in your forum
