Hey has anyone noticed any changed with the DSPmanager, with CM6 there was a obvious difference with the sound when u played around with the equalizer, this one seems to do nothing.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Success100:
i WAS JUST about to post this, the DSP manager does NOT work on this rom?

Any ideas Vael?
[EVO 4G Android Development] josh6780:
Is there a way to turn off all vibrations? (like when you touch the bottom buttons or unlock your phone?

In ADW, how can I change the two icons between the app drawer? I have looked everywhere.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Sed8ing:
OK...so I spoke too soon.. Had a small issue still with the market last night and now I am having MAJOR issues because of an odd mistake/problem i had (user error i am sure)

While I was running the recovery with my laptop through a dos shell it started to go a little haywire and start choosing things without me pressing buttons. So, I think it might have chosen the "USB-MS toggle" but the rest worked fine during the wiping and flashing the market fix, but rebooting the phone the sd card was not recognized. Then when i would try and go into recovery since then (even after getting the SD card re-recognized by the phone after downgraded to the PC36IMG) when i go to reboot into recovery I cannot get the recovery mode to start as the device is not connected to my PC.

Is there a way that i can copy the files onto my SDcard directly from my PC so that I can run the recovery menu on the EVO without the laptop?

Thank you for your help anyone as I am quite stressed and upset at the moment!
[EVO 4G Android Development] :
Actually i just reflashed because i did something to where it was having a problem booting and gave me an error process right after the vaelpak logo. I dont think my phone liked bfs8.
[EVO 4G Android Development] kudosmog:
Since I have no idea what you mean, I'm going to jump out on a ledge and assume you mean the two icons on the dock. If I'm right by some chance...you just drag and drop an icon on top of it and it will replace it.

And for the vibrations...I can't get all of them to turn off either. Most of them are turned off easily enough but the back button for example, will always vibrate for me.
[EVO 4G Android Development] MrsVaelek:
I know it's possible, Vaelek has turned them all off for me. I'm sure he'll be around soon to answer some more questions, and tell you how he did that.
[EVO 4G Android Development] vaelek:
I was JUST about to post this also lol. I ran it when I included it and made sure it "functioned" but didn't actually play anything and test it. The other day I decided to give it a shot and I *thought* I heard a difference at first, but then wasn't so sure. Have been meaning to test it with earbuds to be sure but haven't had a chance. So I guess this confirms it. I'll see what I can figure out here...

Settings > Sound > Haptic feedback should turn off vibrations

And yea what was said above for the ADW icons.

Dude idk what the hell you did? :eek:

I am not familiar with any recovery that requires being connected to the PC to get into? Can you give me a link for whatever process it is that you're attempting there? Almost everything you said is a bit greek to me. Flashing a PC36IMG shouldn't be needed for any possible issue I can personally think of.

"Recovery through dos shell" <-- I have no idea what this means either

I'd love to help, but think I need a little more info on this one.

Edit: If you just need a way to do this without going over USB, the sdcard is under your battery, but you'll need an adapter to get it to fit your card reader.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Success100:
sweet, the DSP manager is probably the most important app to me, I work out a ton, and i like the music really loud, and dsp manager is the only way to get it louder.
[EVO 4G Android Development] josh6780:
Wow, I swear I have tried that many time before, however, now that you tell me to do it; it works. WTF!

Thanks
[EVO 4G Android Development] ewells38:
Great ROM, thanks again

Question:

Anyway to disable the menu button from unlocking the screen ? so that only sliding the lock will unlock the screen
[EVO 4G Android Development] kudosmog:
Any luck getting music controls on the lock screen?
[EVO 4G Android Development] vaelek:
Well then. I never noticed it did that. That's rather annoying huh... I will look into this.

Have had too many odd issues creep up to work on much in the way of additions. This is still on the list though.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ctyke:
Is that an ADW deal, I can't do it on mine (using LP)... would have been nice this morning while on Kings beta kernel, couldn't get the thing unlocked.
[EVO 4G Android Development] uniquenameevo:
Mine does it on LP. I gotta say...it doesn't bother me.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Wazzy:
cool hack ;)

Yeah not sure if this bothers me either. As long as the phone doesn't unlock itself I'm fine with it, don't really like the long vanilla slide anyway. I would much rather a downward unlock slide personally.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ewells38:
I am using LP, and when pressing the menu button it unlocks the phone.

Vael noted that he will look into this and hpefully he'll be able to fix it so that the menu button is disabled and only sliding the lock will unlock the phone :D
[EVO 4G Android Development] ctyke:
Maybe the kernel? I am running stock for the moment.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Novarider:
Are you asking if there is a way to flash a rom without using your computer? If so yes there is.

1)Move or directly download the rom zip to your sd card

2) Turn the phone off then when off hold the volume down button and power button down at the same time till the white boot loader screen comes up. Then after it runs its check scroll down to recovery and press the power button.

3) Once in recovery you want to scroll down to wipe and press enter.Now wipe data/factory reset. Then wipe cache. Then wipe delvik-cache. Now press the up and down button together to go back.

4) Select "install zip from sd card" then "choose zip from sd card". Now it opens a page with a bunch of files. Find the zip you want to flash and press the power button when its highlighted (you may need topress power again to confirm). Now let the rom install. Once its done just select reboot system and your good to go. The first lash of a rom takes a few minutes so just be patient.

I hope that's what you were asking and I didn't write all that for nothing LOL.

If I missed a step please correct me but I don't think I did.

Oh if PC36IMP is on your sd card it will take a while to loaf at the first boot screen after holding vol down and power. It will ask if you want to install update. If your just flashing a rom them select no. you can avoid this by removing the PC36IMG file from your sd card.
[EVO 4G Android Development] vaelek:
Menu to unlock issues, try flashing this. I can't test it right now because I'm tethering. I recommend backing up just in case.

I have BFS version, and with ADW and LP I am able to unlock with menu. So it's not a launcher issue, and it's not a kernel issue. I'm pretty confident the attached flash will fix it though.

EDIT: HOLD OFF ON THIS. TESTED ONE AND IT IS BOOT LOOPING
[EVO 4G Android Development] Abracastabya:
Just tried to install new Google Maps update...install is unsuccessful :(
[EVO 4G Android Development] vaelek:
Dammit. Ok so 1.4 can't update google search or maps :(

I forget if 1.4 has maps in /system/app or /data/app, but if you remove the apk for it you should be able to install the updated version. If it's in /data/app you should be able to just uninstall it normally, then install the new one.

If that doesn't work... I guess stand by for another flash patch. :mad:
[EVO 4G Android Development] vaelek:
Botched root, working 1-on-1 to get him up and running... looking promising so far...
[EVO 4G Android Development] GRRemlin:
Removed the apk from system/apps and no success. I guess patch it is...
[EVO 4G Android Development] bigant262:
Once you remove it, reboot your phone and try to install, thats how you had to do it with google search. I'll try with maps in a minute and report back.

Edit: Dammit, didn't work. Hm, I'll see if I can figure something out.

[EVO 4G Android Development] Wazzy:
There is a way to do this from the phone correct?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Chinoo:
dont know if is just me, but i flash this unlock, phone is stock on VAEL logo. should i keep waiting for the logo to away, or is just stock on that logo?
[EVO 4G Android Development] GRRemlin:
Anyone else is having the "Login failed" problem in new Maps?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Deffcon_1:
I was earlier. All I did was Update Profile and it fixed it. I was having troubles with data connection in a lot of apps and Update Profile fixed them all. I havent had any issues with Vaelpak but I did with other roms.
[EVO 4G Android Development] vaelek:
You must have gotten it before I put in the edit that it is causing boot loops :(

I can't get a proper fix up here for at least an hour, but what you can do is grab

/system/framework/android.policy.jar from the rom zip and do

adb remount
adb push android.policy.jar /system/framework/
adb reboot

If you don't have adb I'm sorry but I can't provide any other fix until I get home. You should really consider setting it up if you haven't yet (for just this kind of reason)
[EVO 4G Android Development] Deffcon_1:
Is anyone having a problem with the Sprint TV app? I installed it, as well as the updater. I have the Sprint NFL app running smoothly. I installed the TV app and it said it had a new update, but it wont update. I get "-1java.io.FileNotFoundException:/fs/shared/csitest.tar (No such file or directory)" I dont really use Sprint TV a lot but I have a couple of pretty long breaks between classes this semester and no car to get home with. It would be cool if I could use it during those breaks.
[EVO 4G Android Development] vaelek:
If you mean the maps fix, yes, you need to download Android Terminal Emulator, and instead type

su
sysrw
rm /system/app/com.google.android.apps.maps.apk
pm uninstall com.google.android.apps.maps
reboot

yeah, for sure, some of these rom builders around here on xda think their **** dont stink and dont want to help anyone, but Vael tries to answer every sensible question and does so quickly and the humblest fashion. I can tell you that based off of just that in itself i wont be using any other roms besides Vael and Calkulins roms, who treats everyone great just like Vael and makes great roms

Problem with VaelPak and the new Maps update

So I have VaelPak 2 with Kings BFS8 Kernel up and running on my Evo, but I can't seem to update the Google Maps app to the new 4.5 version.

I've reinstalled the ROM, wiped data, tried AppBrain and nothing seems to work.

It just says "Installation Google Maps unsuccessful".

Anyone have some advice?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Sed8ing:
THANK GOD!!!! I got my phone running again!!! And more important than thanking God I need to thank Vaelek for his infinite patience while helping me through my own minor crisis today!!!!

You are not only a great ROM maker but also a very kind and helpful soul as the problem I had had ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with your ROM and you still devoted your time to helping me fix it.

Not running the Vaelpak quite yet but wanted to publicly thank you for the assistance in helping out the helpless ;)

Thank you

edit: Yep...bigger and better! Still not on the ROM but now have it set up so that I can flash ROM's without my laptop thanks again to Vaelek's guidance... I am psyched and minutes from running the fabulous VaelPak v2.0 with Kings BFS8 Kernel ROM!!!!
[EVO 4G Android Development] Chinoo:
Vael, good news and bad, good news i just learn how to use adb, bad news is that i push that android.policy.jar and it got me stock on the VaelPak logo again.

Thanks

I have a question tho. Didn't everyone that rooted 2.2 already user this? I did some adb push while rooting

Sick! Was my first time using terminal emulator...it worked pro.
[EVO 4G Android Development] vaelek:
Seriously? man... that's exactly what I did when it happened and it fixed it no sweat.

If you haven't restored or re-flashed by now you're a lot more patient than I am!

But if you are still stuck, do this please:

disconnect your phone from usb and turn it off

adb logcat *:W > logcat.txt

(It will say waiting for device)

plug it in and turn it on

when the boot animation loops (you see the swirl for the 2nd time), press control-c

attach the logcat.txt back here

Sounds good enough to make me download this now and give it a go!! Yeah some Devs do think that. Not knowing that u get more support when u do respond to questions and other things that casual person might not know how to do or fix. Also they would probably get more donations for there work. my two cents anyways bout to run this v2.

Requests

To everyone that has posted a request, suggestion, or minor annoyance recently and has not gotten a response, you are not being ignored. I have read every single post in this thread multiple times and I will go back and respond to your requests. But when major issues come up, extras have to take a back seat temporarily. I can say that most of the things that have been asked for will be happening.

I'm going to add a section to the live update spreadsheet with a list of planned changes and ask that everyone go there and tally your vote for what is a priority to you. I will post when that has been setup so you don't have to stalk it.

If you have no idea what I'm talking about, it's the live update link in my sig. Make sure to notice there are multiple tabs on the bottom of the page.
[EVO 4G Android Development] MrsVaelek:
As his wife, I can tell you that Vaelek really is a great guy who is 100% devoted to this project, as well as helping people. Hell, he's even been willing to answer questions while he was cleaning out the car and I was scrubbing the bathroom. (Damn time stamps.)

I've never been quite so widowed by a project he's undertaken before, and it's been an interesting change. I've been keeping up with this forum, and I've gotta tell you all, posts like these are my favorite. It's hard to be mad at him for passing out in the living room with my phone (which is my alarm clock), and me oversleeping for work when the reason is that he's being a nice guy and helping people with questions and who are eager for updates and fixes.

For the sake of our marriage, keep 'em up! :D
[EVO 4G Android Development] vaelek:
when you did the pm uninstall line, did it say successful?

Still working out what went wrong there. Sorry man.
[EVO 4G Android Development] vaelek:
if you do it again, does it do the same thing?

This is what it should say. And you're doing this from adb shell or terminal emulator?

D:\cygwin\home\Vaelek\research>adb shell
# pm uninstall com.google.android.apps.maps
pm uninstall com.google.android.apps.maps
Success
#

Not sure if this will work but you can try pushing the attached file.

adb push com.google.android.apps.maps-1.apk /system/app/

What's even easier, if you prefer, (I use it all the time) is Android Commander. Only requirement is a working adb. Just select the file on one side and hit copy and it does the rest, automatically remounting if needed.

If that doesn't work, a logcat while you're doing the uninstall, and trying to re-install it would be helpful to figure it out.

adb logcat > logcat.txt
ctl-c when done

If you just want to put maps back as it was for the moment, you'll find it in /system/app/ in the rom zip.

Accidentally ran my phone on performance all day today. Got about eight hours and was at 19%. Pretty impressive for me. I play a lot of games and do email and facebook in between classes. Still having Sprint TV issues but that isn't really important to me. Love the rom!
[EVO 4G Android Development] laraiza:
Hey all I tried looking through the thread here and even did a search but nothing popped up regarding this issue so any input for a remedy would be appreciated. I first installed the 1.4 rom which was great and I loved it, however; at times my screen seemed to be unresponsive to the touch. It would start responding if i pressed the search or menu key but it shouldnt be doing that anyways. I wiped before installing and even rewiped and installed the 2.0 rom and within a few minutes it seemed to freeze from time to time. I love the rom and wish to find a fix for this because I want to keep it as my main rom. Does anyone have any ideas on what is happening or how to remedy this situation? thanks in advance. :)

Battery Life

A quick note on battery life. For those wondering why some people can go 24+hrs and you can do maybe half that or less...

One of the biggest factors in battery life is signal strength.

If you aren't aware you can see the distribution of your current battery usage (sortof) via settings > about > battery > battery use. The reason I say sortof, is percentages shown will always add up to 100, and each will be a percentage of what was used since last unplugged. So if you unplugged your phone and your battery dropped 10% in 1 hour, an app showing 10% battery use would really mean 10% of the 10% that was drained in the last hour. Each time you plug your phone in this counter resets.

If you live somewhere with a crappy signal as I do, you'll fair much worse than those with strong signals. From the details list if you select Cell Standby, it will show a percentage of time without a signal (if > 0%), the higher this is the longer your phone has spent working harder trying to maintain a signal and the faster your battery drains. I find that cell standby is almost always the highest percentage of anything listed. If no percentage is listed, then you never lost signal, but could still have plenty of low signal time. One of the things I plan to make is an app similar to battery snap but for signal strength. There are strength trackers for mapping areas, but nothing for plotting strength over time which would be useful when comparing with battery stats.

Obviously what you do on it while using it will also play a big part, but this along with gps, is one of the biggest idle drainers.

That is all.
[EVO 4G Android Development] vaelek:
Which 2.0 did you go with? If it was BFS, I've seen posts talking about problems with some kings kernels and one of the 2 screens that EVO's come with. Off hand I'm not sure of the details or how to tell which screen you have, or if a different kings version would fix it. I can say that some have posted having better performance with #6 instead of the #8 that the BFS version of VaelPak comes with.

If you did 2.0 stock, have you had this problem with any other roms or just the ones here?
[EVO 4G Android Development] webby_s:
An app for that similar to Battery Snap would be sweet. Ever since DLing your ROM with Battery Snap on there, I have become EVEN MORE obsessed and I was BAD before BatterySnap.LOL Good luck to you! I really gotta get you a beer (donation) Do you drink Coors Light ;)
[EVO 4G Android Development] laraiza:
I did the 2.0 stock one just because when I installed 1.4 it was with BFS so thats why I changed it up. I have the version 03 screen release and I believe thats the second type of screen to be used. I have never had this happen before with any other rom and I was running flipz fresh's newest 3.0.2. It runs very well for me however I really liked the icons and most of the customizations you have made so I really hope to stay with yours.

So just wanted to chime in and let anyone who may have seen my panic post above that I have fully restored my phone to working order and it is blazing fast and stable thanks to our fearless and informed leader here Vaelek!

I looked all over these forums and some other forums to try and solve my issues (thanks to being an under-informed and over-zealous noobie to rooting and romming) and eventually with the help of Vaelek got all of my phone issues resolved.

I assure you that this ROM had nothing to do with my issues (and makes Vaelek's help all the more appreciated) as I have had nothing but a great experience with this ROM so far. I am looking forward to exploring it more and I can say that the speed and responsive has been awesome. The stability I would almost say so far is better than my stock 2.2 and it plays very nicely with all of the medical software that I have loaded on it.

Thanks again Vaelek for the help and more importantly for this great ROM!
