I meant the battery mod. I'm using your rom now. I don't understand the battery mod instructions or is that battery mod a new rom that will replace this rom?
[EVO 4G Android Development] vaelek:
Sorry.. I'm getting conversations mixed up now. For the battery mod I haven't had a chance to look at it at all yet. It will likely involve replacing some images in /system/framework/com.htc.resources.apk and probably having to re-sign the apk. Pretty soon I should be able to dig into the graphics and make a flash patch to add the mod to this rom.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Novarider:
i will just wait for your update then. I don't want to mess with the rom zip
[EVO 4G Android Development] chongorecords:
How could I reinstall sprint navigation? was that removed from the rom?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Kaine16:
Hey man i love this rom, i switched from CM6 to this just because i get 4g and a few extras you dont get with CM6. There is one component i really miss from CM6 though, is there any possibility you could include this sound equalizer in your rom. http://bel.fi/~alankila/android-dsp/
[EVO 4G Android Development] :
GOTO your SD Card. sdcard/vaelpak-extras/stockapks. you'll see Sprint Navigation in there and just install. I did the same cause that app very useful to me.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ajftl:
that probably helps a tiny bit.. evo headphone sound is plain BAD.. ive tried everything ..from all of those eq/dsp the one i personally think works the best is Mixzing player ....

now if u jump into a galaxy s and just do the volume boost.. WOW sounds amazing.. match iphone sound which i think it was impossible... best android sound equal galaxy s

If you were the one that asked for it about 30 pages back, then your wish is granted ;)
[EVO 4G Android Development] alcangel64:
sorry for asking how do we use the setcpu.txt
[EVO 4G Android Development] vaelek:
No worries man, I haven't said anything about it yet.. It is only useful if you have a kernel that OC's (kings, toast etc). In setcpu hit menu and device selection > show other frequency sets. Scroll all the way to the bottom and choose the last option. It should read in the values and then limit you to 1152. Going higher than that isn't very stable, and this will prevent accidentally sliding too high and freezing (as I've done many times :mad:)

Edit: Doing this on the stock kernel will allow you to select up to 1152, but the freq will never go above 998.

To undo it, just re-do device selection and auto detect.
[EVO 4G Android Development] alcangel64:
ok thank you
[EVO 4G Android Development] vaelek:
Official request sheet

Ok so this is something I am trying out so I don't have to scour through 100 pages to not miss anything. If anyone has a request, it is fine to continue posting it here, but I now have a User Requests sheet in the live log that anyone can edit. I will be adding a link to it in my sig shortly

http://bit.ly/VaelPak-Status
[EVO 4G Android Development] Kaine16:
I wasn't but thanks man, this rom is gona be the bomb especially with a integrated adw launcher. Btw if anyone wants even a more stock android feel like i do use this theme for the notification bar http://bel.fi/~alankila/android-dsp/
[EVO 4G Android Development] vaelek:
Testers Verdict?

I've got 90 downloads between beta 2/4 so far. All comments so far have been positive, has anyone noticed any problems at all? (Minus that one strange LP issue). Thinking about building up the final changes I've made tonight and calling it 2.0 final. Then I can start working on my next surprise :)

Also, quick poll, include Kings BFS8 in extras, put out a 2nd version with it baked in, or back off and just let you all find and use whatever the hell you want :rolleyes:
[EVO 4G Android Development] bigant262:
I'd say release one with stock kernel and then one with Kings.
[EVO 4G Android Development] v_lestat:
For me i hqve had horrible battery life with these havs kernels.iwould prefer to not have it in there.

Also you are using BFS... i have a lot of people dumping BFS in favor CFS because of issues.

Had u considered a cfs version also? Or has bfs been the best for you so you are posting that.
[EVO 4G Android Development] alcangel64:
my battery life was awful after bfs 6. i prefer the stock kernel. but im really grateful on anything you release
[EVO 4G Android Development] vaelek:
I personally went from toastmod to BFS and have not tried CFS. It's hard for me to gauge the battery due to having a really crappy signal where I live so my cell radio sucks it on pretty much any kernel. If there is interest I can do all 3. If there is varying preference on the version of each though I don't want to have 10 versions of the rom with everyone's favorite kernel... so just trying to get an idea of what the majority wants, and those with other tastes can always flash over it to suit them.
[EVO 4G Android Development] soxozor:
You should put a transparent/cm6 white task bar. Just a suggestion.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ReallyShawn:
I have been using BFS (#8 currently). I may actually try CFS #8 based upon some of this discussion. Anyway, I personally can just flash whichever kernel I am using and don't care whether the Rom itself includes a particular one.
[EVO 4G Android Development] JerzyIroc:
Looking to jump to 1.4 tonight.. I'm guessing I have to do a full wipe right? Since this comes with the stock kernal which kernel did you use to get those 1600+ quadrant numbers? Is that ROM stable and battery life good like the one used in 1.3a? Lastly, does that kernel have undervolting? How do I install the kernel over the stock kernel?

Btw, I had 3 friends dl 1.3a and about 4-5 people from Android Central dl 1.4 ROM. They all LOVE it!! You're a hit man!
[EVO 4G Android Development] webby_s:
Vaelek, success!!!!!!!

I backed-up in 1.3a, uninstalled LauncherPro, downloaded, wiped, flashed VaelPak-2-B4.zip and success!!!

To be honest I did have one hickup when I entered my code for the paid version of LauncherPro, something with com.android.acore that kept FCing but I uninstalled LP again (in B4) and reinstalled and things are all GOOD!!!!

So I want to try this BFS #8 out for a day or so and that is why I wanted to progress from 1.3a (that and the exchange lock workaround) So the jury is still out. I loved 1.3a and am excited to test 2.0b4 so I will update ya as the days go by. As for new and improved updates, I can't think of any right now but if you have something COOL in store for us, AWESOME, can't wait to see!
[EVO 4G Android Development] vaelek:
I would recommend wiping for that one yes. The 1600+ was with the included kernel, Kings BFS #8. I personally was only on 1.4 for like 24hrs before starting on 2.0 but the comments have been very positive for both stability and battery life. And yes it has undervolting also.

With that said, 2.0 final will most likely be getting posted in the next few hours if you'd rather hold off, webby_s also.
[EVO 4G Android Development] JerzyIroc:
ooo 1.4 has the Kings BFS#8 kernel? I thought it had the stock kernel. Sweet. What's cooking with the 2.0? Guess I might as well hold off. I'm sure it'll be worth it!!!!
[EVO 4G Android Development] webby_s:
That's cool, I will test this 2.0b4 for now, what will be the differences?

Also there is one thing I do request, and I have flashed it over to the 2.0b4 ROM, is framwork-res_HTC_2.2-signed-versionb.zip

It's the circular battery icon with percentage in the top bar. Love it, I came from the Palm Pre where the percentage was a must and I have flashed if over to the 1.3a Rom and this 2.0 ROM with no issues so far!!!

Again thanks for all your hard work Vaelek
[EVO 4G Android Development] uniquenameevo:
Ugh! I tried so many times, kept thinking I was getting bad downloads so I never ran this rom.

It kept calling to me. This time, I got error at line 429 and selected reboot system. I have it up and running! I could kick myself since I could have had this a while ago had I not restored a backup of another rom each time I got the error. Two minutes in, looks good on beta 2 :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] ctyke:
I don't really care which kernel you put in, I will flash whatever is the latest. But some people may want a choice without the extra flashing.

Darn lake wifi sucks and no 3g, can't get latest beta to download yet.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ctyke:
Oh yeah, when you release next version I can put the batttery mod, circle with %, up so people can flash it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] vaelek:
Flashed and testing the final release now... setupwizard kept fc'ing after first boot. rebooted and it worked fine. ?shrug?

So far so good. Chance of release tonight - 99%

Edit: Innnnteresting.. looking at the system info in quadrant, the HTC kernel seems to be scaling the cpu freq on its own without setcpu

OMG I can't stand it without the hires anymore, better make sure the path works, quickly ;)
[EVO 4G Android Development] vaelek:

[EVO 4G Android Development] regulator207:
good work vael. i am also awaiting the bfs8 release

thanks for your hard work.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Bloodykiller86:

[EVO 4G Android Development] vaelek:
2.0 BFS uploaded

Apparently the lack of sleep fairy would have it be today. BFS link added to post 1.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Novarider:
Any idea when you will be about to do this?
[EVO 4G Android Development] vaelek:
[Patch] Circle Battery percent

Here is a flashable zip to add the round percent battery.

I believe this should work on any version of VaelPak
[EVO 4G Android Development] mitchellvii.1:
Quick question.

Since you moved base to new 3.28.651.1 OTA, does this mean that I will be able to turn bluetooth on and off easily during a call from the Menu button? I read somewhere that this functionality was added.

As you know, this is the main reason I've stayed away from Sense-based roms even if it means sacrificing 4g (for now).
[EVO 4G Android Development] xylation:
Sweet thanks - flashing new VaelPak tonight. I can't find where to wipe Dalvik in my clockwork at all - not under advanced. Any ideas?

Love VaelPak rom :D
[EVO 4G Android Development] vaelek:
Doesn't look like it that I can tell...

Hmm. should be right under advanced.. Sure you have the current version of clockwork?

FYI - I have flashed both 2.0's via Rom Manager using only the wipe option in there with no problems.
[EVO 4G Android Development] runner77:
Under 'advanced' on the recovery menu.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Novarider:
Do I just flash this like its a new rom or do I need to edit something?
[EVO 4G Android Development] vaelek:
Yes just flash it. No need to wipe anything or do anything else.
[EVO 4G Android Development] cmart4:
nice update! thanks for including dsp mgr too. Manups theme works nice too.

Kings kernal 8 is very laggy for me, reflashed #6 and it's now smoking fast.:D
[EVO 4G Android Development] maxcala:
been waiting for this all night! Thanks...:D
[EVO 4G Android Development] bigant262:
Hey Vael, I should be able to flash Kings CFS Kernel over the BFS kernel, right?
[EVO 4G Android Development] cmart4:
anyone know if 4g tether works? wired or wireless? tia
[EVO 4G Android Development] Novarider:
Sweet the battery mod worked great. Thanks!

Any way to make it green instead of gray?

Also can the hulu app work with your rom or does it only come with certain roms?
[EVO 4G Android Development] vaelek:
Interesting.. I will have to do some comparisons. 8 is a bit sluggish for me on first boot and until initial sync is done.

Would have been up earlier but I passed out waiting for the upload to finish :o

Yes you can flash any kings kernel over either version of 2.0

I don't have 4G near me, but heard from a friend that it was working fine, using wifi tether, not the hotspot feature.

Pick a version from here and I will make a flash zip for it - anything not on this page I can take requests for, but will not be right away. I have tested the automated apk modifier linked to from this post and it seems to mess with more than the batt so I'd recommend not flashing theirs.

Well.. here's the thing, the stagefright update seems to break Hulu. Gives a 'not supported on your platform' message. The Hulu app really just displays the mobile site, I'll attach it here and you can give it a shot but I haven't had any luck. It might work on 1.4 and lower, and possibly in 2.0 if you edit /system/build.prop and change one or both of

media.stagefright.enable-http=true

media.stagefright.enable-player=true

to false. reboot required afterwards. Be aware that doing this will break anything that uses stagefright. Right now the only confirmed app to use it I know of is GrooveShark. This may also break last.fm,pandora,slacker,etc.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jdeloach:
can you do version c from the battery mod page? Please
[EVO 4G Android Development] Novarider:
Can you do version F please. I like the dark background version of F
[EVO 4G Android Development] vaelek:
The one pictured or the one in the darker screenshot link for F?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Novarider:
This one. Is it possible for you to edit out the yellow so that it is green till it hits the orange?
[EVO 4G Android Development] ctyke:
Running 2 with no issues, thanks for the battery mod, saves me the hasle.

Gonna try stock kernel for a day or so to test battery life, but I have noticed it is slow coming out of sleep. Will go back to bfs# 8 after testing.
[EVO 4G Android Development] loupy:
Is there a way to get the music player controls to show on the lock screen? I use tunewiki and it doesn't have an option in it's settings to show that. I've tried CM6 and that rom has an option to display the controls whenever something is being played. I hope there is an option or workaround for this ROM as well.

This is def the best ROM I've tried. Thanks!
[EVO 4G Android Development] elapshtc:
Is there away to change the bluetooth to a non htc one so that apps like wiimote work?
[EVO 4G Android Development] tcd2004:
This is probably a simple question....but what is the difference between going with the stock kernel or bfs #8?
[EVO 4G Android Development] jahnile:
Oh Boy, Am loving this Rom more and more. This is has been my daily ROM since inception. I love CM6 but it has no 4G and am now in a 4g area so VP is my daily choice... Keep up the strong development and many thanks....
[EVO 4G Android Development] pinto bean:
I've been using fresh rom for a while, and decided to give this a shot for a bit since I love the aosp dialer, email, and browser, so far, so good.
[EVO 4G Android Development] vaelek:
To start it's going to have to be as is, I just spent a good 30 minutes on this (damn gradients lol) and the $#% icons aren't showing up at all and I don't know why. Either I'm messing up the images or just missing something building the zip. So I'm going to go ahead and make zips for them as is and tackle this afterwards since whatever is going on here is going to affect the rest of my graphic changes also. Have some things to do today so I'm not exactly sure when these will be up, definitely today though.
[EVO 4G Android Development] vaelek:
I will see what I can do with this.

This is on the wish list, to date as far as I know, nobody has been successful at this on an HTC rom. I've tried a couple of things here and there so far with no luck.

The stock kernel is locked to 30FPS and is not able to overclock. From what I've seen, it looks like the stock kernel does do cpu scaling without needing setcpu. If it has always done this I was unaware.

The BFS will max about 53 FPS, is overclockable, undervolting, and has BFS / HAVS.
[EVO 4G Android Development] itsallsubliminal:
vaelek, great job here man! I was excited to see Neocore topping at 32.1fps. everything is sharp, running smooth and no stutters.

2 ?s tho:

1. I dunno how you got scores of 1600+ in quadrant standard. My max EVER has been with this ROM (v2.0 kernel 8) @ 1411. Could you share your config with setcpu? (maybe its in the advanced tab which i don't use?)

2. Not sure if its been mentioned, but how come after wiping everything, then flashing, i see all my apps back in place in the app drawer? Some 3rd party apps will launch, others will FC immediately upon launch. I use Titanium Backup and restore EVERYTHING and then every app works. So its really not an issue, i'm just wondering why it loads these "empty" apps?
[EVO 4G Android Development] vaelek:
1. The benchmark I got with setcpu set to 1152 max and performance mode with all profiles disabled except main. For normal use though my advanced tab I change to 80000, 95, and 100 power bias.

2. This sounds similar to something that has affected 1 other person. Are you using apps2sd? There seems to be a problem if you have an app installed on the sdext partition that is also included in the rom. If your goal is to clear them, then just wipe sdext also when flashing.
[EVO 4G Android Development] itsallsubliminal:
thanks for the settings.

No, i do not use App2sd at all actually. I may have partitioned my sd card just to have it done, but never moved a single app from internal to the sd card. Is apps2sd automatic or do i have to move em one by one?
[EVO 4G Android Development] rockky:
Asop Browser Issue?

Hey... super ROM...HTC-Sprint did a kickass job addressing the #1 criticism of the Evo..:.battery life with the construction of this kernel. In fact I think Sprints responsiveness with this device has been better than any carrier Ive been on.

Anyway guys, my biggest issue since moving to this Rom/browser is the hangtime drawing up new sites when surfing....I mean serious hang time (like a minute to download a site!) ..despite wiping all/rebooting etc.

Nothing like this with the Htc browser.

Any suggestions would be really appreciated.
[EVO 4G Android Development] bigant262:
Hey Vael, I don't know why but everytime I flash your new roms, my market is broken. It doesn't have a Top Paid tab, and its very slow. Do you have any idea what could be causing this? This is the second time it has happened, and last time all had to do was re flash and it worked fine, but I don't want to have to do that every time.
[EVO 4G Android Development] vaelek:
Actually, yes it is automatic if you have your sdcard partitioned. So you would want to wipe sdext whenever you wipe other things.

I haven't had any lag problems with the browser or heard of any from others. If you prefer the htc browser you can install it from the extras/replaced folder. Otherwise maybe you can send me a logcat while it's happening?

I think I may have lost the market fix in between 1.4 and 2.0, did this happen before 2.0? I'll look into it either way. I do know that the market in it is from the gapps update. If it's convenient, can you backup your good version and send me the apk?
[EVO 4G Android Development] JerzyIroc:
Installing 2.0 w/ Kings 8 now!!!! Can't wait!!
[EVO 4G Android Development] MSmith1:
Seems like i came back just in time. Wanted to do some battery comparison against CM6 and was looking for a sense rom and bam, 2.0 drops. Running now with a baked snack kernel. So far so good. Love how much you support your roms as well.

FYI, you missed a couple of sense widgets and the sms app isn't aosp but you have done a great job on this. Looking forward too giving it a good spin!
[EVO 4G Android Development] vaelek:
I have been slowly removing sense to make sure there are no strange side effect impossible to track down the cause of by killing it all at once pretty much. Some of the "widgets" left aren't so much widgets as they are gfx resources still needed.

With the AOSP MMS app, some people could get SMS but could not receive MMS (myself included) so I reverted the default to HTC since it works for everyone. You can install the AOSP one from the extras/aosp folder.

Look a page or two back for a description
[EVO 4G Android Development] jerrygon:
Vaelek,

Wow just installed this rom and this is exactly what I was looking for in a rom. Absolutely awesome man. One thing... Is there any way I can incorporate the font package/theme that virus has on his expresso rom? Is that a theme or just a font i need to flash.

Thanks so much for this beast of a rom!
[EVO 4G Android Development] MSmith1:
Cool. No problem. Just thought I would mention them. I uninstalled every htc widget that I saw in v2 with no problems.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Novarider:
Any idea when this will be done?
[EVO 4G Android Development] ctyke:
Hmmmmmm wireless tether seams to be MIA. Came from beta 2 to release.

Wouldn't install, trying a reboot.

I've made 6 patches so far and all except the one already posted just are not working. I've got some non rom related things to do :rolleyes: but will try to get this figured out and posted at some point today.

It's missing?? Anyone else have this problem (if you comment, please state if your sdcard is partitioned or not)? It's there and working fine on my end... do you use apps2sd? If you have your sd partitioned and didn't wipe sdext that could be it. I can't remember at exactly what point I updated it from pre7 to pre8.
