One item I have been waiting for is the circle battery icon with % in it.

Today I found it http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=724778

I created an E design and so far it is working. Had to upload/download/flash in recovery.

FYI I've been rolling with the Kings Kernel BFS #8 all day on the Vaelpak ROM.

SMOOTH so far.
[EVO 4G Android Development] randymac88:
Hey there Vaelek - still running 1.1 and enjoying it...was waiting on 1.4, really for the AOSP theme. Basically, it seems like you could go with just the top strip of something like Cyanogen's ROM, straight AOSP, and it would be awesome. Not sure at all whats possible though! Thanks again for all of your work on this ROM, much appreciated.
[EVO 4G Android Development] deekoi:
FYI,

I'm on 1.3a and just loaded king bfs#8 and haven't seen any major problems yet but I have noticed a bit more lag than normally. I'm going to restart and see what happens.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Deffcon_1:
Happens every time. Well it did, then I shut off the notifications and now it doesnt. Had a pretty good run today with this rom. Went 11 hrs off charger with 4+ hours of talk time, plus a lot of texts and some internet and screen at 50%+ brightness and still had 22% battery left. Old stock rom and I would have been screwed with just the 4 hours of talking.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ctyke:
Rockin with the kings #8 and can't believe battery life with this thing. HTC should take note... this is how to build a Rom.
[EVO 4G Android Development] runner77:
The bfs #8?

Sent from my EVO phone.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Deffcon_1:
Ive ran BFS and CFS #8 for a couple days now. Battery life is amazing, but wasnt to impressed with benchmarking. I had BFS #6 and it benchmarked higher, and had very similar battery life. Not sure why the difference but its close to 100 points in Quadrant, fairly consistently.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ctyke:
Kings Kernel http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=754128

I don't benchmark much, just want it to work when I hit the screen and not suck up all the battery. #8 works for me on both.

Although this ROM is pretty close to perfect, my ADHD can't wait to see what's next.

Live status

To appease the ADHD of some (good timing on that post btw :) ), and to give more real-time status without cluttering the thread with every little thing, I've put together a google spreadsheet for tracking changes and progress. The main reason I did it was because I am doing a complete refresh going back to a stock base to ensure I know exactly what is customized in here. Last night's 5 hour attempt was a total fail I think caused by a bad kitchen update. Otherwise you may all be testing the new version right now :( ...

So anyhow, for anyone that is curious of exactly what I'm doing to this rom, or where the next build is at, I've granted public access (read only of course) to it here - http://bit.ly/VaelPak-LiveStatus

Depending on how this goes I may tweak it a bit or start a 2nd one for you all to be able to enter your own suggestions/wishlist items/etc right in there so I don't have to scan 400 posts to make sure I've got it all.

Once again - http://bit.ly/VaelPak-LiveStatus

Edit: The format / coloring / etc might not make total sense. I'll try to clean it up a bit and/or have some kind of legend, but it's main purpose is to help me keep things straight and not miss anything this time around, with a complete record of what was done previously and what did not work, etc.

Why do i no longer have the option to select "Silent" as notification sound? There used to be that option there?
[EVO 4G Android Development] webby_s:
Just wanted to poke my head in here and tell my story. This has been a fun ride, I rooted my Evo and loaded this ROM as my first "test". I must say I am impressed! Thanks for all your hard work and dedication. I look forward to future updates and I hope to contribute when and if I can (two young kids at home)

Hi, I cannot access the spreadsheets. Require an account for your google docs. I presume there is a guest login?

Sent from my EVO
[EVO 4G Android Development] vaelek:
Hmm I signed out and was still able to view it. I can see others are. Perhaps you need to have docs setup on your account? But that wouldn't makes sense since I didn't have a problem not even being logged in... Are you able to view the rom comparison chart? - https://spreadsheets5.google.com/ccc?key=tArScQ4mc6tdckkuplbRKug&hl=en#gid=0

They are shared the same way...
[EVO 4G Android Development] Tilde88:
yo vael... whats up with 1.4? i went back to CM for a bit... still waiting :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] ReallyShawn:
Kinda Strange

OK. On my notebook I can access all 3 spreadsheets. Using the android XDA application I still cannot access the original 2. I am logged into google on both the notebook and evo browsers. I may play with this more to try to get to the reason. As I said from the XDA application the link expects a login to @vaelik.com.

Anyway I can now peruse the spreadsheets ... so my ADHD has been appeased!
[EVO 4G Android Development] tcd2004:
I'm having trouble with some market programs installing. I'm getting an installation unsuccessful message for certain apps, a few I have noticed it on are the handcent SMS update and google voice search. I also had to try to download facebook about 5 times before it actually installed. Is this normal?
[EVO 4G Android Development] vaelek:
What version are you on? I had a bunch of signature problems preventing updates before. I think hand cent is still affected. I'm hoping to have 1.4 tonight or tomorrow fixing all of those issues.

Most of them can be fixed by uninstalling the app and reinstalling from the market..
[EVO 4G Android Development] webby_s:
Hey. Just out of curiosity, in 1.4 is the exchange mail security going to be bypassed? I miss that now on froyo with lockpicker not working :(

Just curious! Thanks again for your hard work.
[EVO 4G Android Development] vaelek:
Barring any unforeseen issues with it, yes it will be in 1.4

Thank you for all your hard work making this ROM the best out there! I'm looking forward to 1.4 release!!

Keep up the excellent work!

Im using v1.3a. Voice search isn't installed on my phone right now but I still get the error when trying to install
[EVO 4G Android Development] vaelek:
Ok there is a problem with voicesearch. I can dig up steps to fix it a bit laterfor you, but am currently refreshing the entire Rom from scratch and painstakingly testing to make sure this sucker is rock solid this time. It is my hope to have a bug free 1.4 available by tonight if you can hold out a bit longer...
[EVO 4G Android Development] regulator207:
so I installed king bfs #8, did the unplug-plug-unplug charging method and just got off my night shift. 24 hours unplugged with 50% left.

nice vael
[EVO 4G Android Development] vaelek:
unplug-plug-unplug charging method? Don't know that I'm familiar with that, can you explain? or are you just saying you had it plugged in off and on through the night?
[EVO 4G Android Development] webby_s:
Do you have the link for king bf's #8. I would love totest that out too. My batt life isn't the best since I dl'd the ROM but I don't blame vael. I blame something running in the background that I loaded.

Also the plug unplug method is a known method vael. Your not going crazy. I would link to it but I'm on the xda app.
[EVO 4G Android Development] tcd2004:
No problem man, i can wait. Loving the ROM so far, keep up the good work

[EVO 4G Android Development] bigant262:
Vael is 1.4 coming out tonight? I'm using CM6 right now and want to switch back to your rom. Lol
[EVO 4G Android Development] vaelek:
Taking my time and doing a lot of testing along the way to make sure this one is rock solid. All major roadblocks so far have been overcome and things are moving along again. I'm still hoping to have an update out tonight.

Donors will get the usual email notice when the time comes.

Edit: back a page or two for a link to the live update info for any that missed it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] regulator207:
vael, check the link that ctyke posted. only thing is that it's annoying to have to do it every time you charge. it does work though.

I also heard that there's a cheap ass universal charger which uses a lower amp so it "trickle charges" the battery and it works under the same concept. So if you have two batteries you can take advantage of the charger.

[EVO 4G Android Development] vaelek:
Those following the live updates know I've been having one problem after another... Everything looked good to go forward with the last test but am now getting Market fc's. I have a few ideas but if I can't make it work fairly soon I am going to say screw it and just apply the fixes/updates to 1.3a and keep working on the refresh after that.
[EVO 4G Android Development] :
Dont know if anyone else is getting this or maybe i missed it. There is a new voicemail update and it keeps failing for installing. Im running 1.1

[EVO 4G Android Development] randymac88:
Hey Vaelek - I just installed this AOSP theme over your ROM and so far it looks great and works great. For me, its the final piece of the puzzle. You might consider linking to this, or baking it into your ROM if possible, for those who really want the AOSP feel.

I've been trying to change the bootscreen animation by using both the pushboot and this method: adb remount [press enter]

adb push bootanimation.zip /system/customize/resource/bootanimation.zip [press enter]

adb reboot [press enter]

and when the phone reboots I dont have any boot animation at all... Do these methods just not work with the ROM?
[EVO 4G Android Development] vaelek:
Try /system/media/ instead

You should also be able to put it in/data/local if you don't want to overwrite it, haven't tested that option though.
[EVO 4G Android Development] JerzyIroc:
Neither worked, still with no boot animation at all

Edit: Nm... Turns out it was the animation file that wasn't playing nice. I tried another animation and ti worked perfect. Thanks!
[EVO 4G Android Development] bigant262:
Was reading the live updates and was wondering if you had fixed what was wrong with 1.4? Or when is the update to 1.3a?
[EVO 4G Android Development] vaelek:
On the horizon

Currently testing what I hope will be the final build for 1.4 :)

OMG you guys, I've probably flashed 40 times since last night... but I think I may finally have everything ironed out and some (not all yet) requests fulfilled.

Stay toooooned

Awesome, can't wait!
[EVO 4G Android Development] vaelek:
I am working on AOSPizing the icons in here. I had a look at the one you suggested and it is a decent start, but right away I notice the signal strength only goes to 4 bars. I intend to have the AOSP style but retain the 6 bars.

If we are coming from 1.3a do we need to perform a full wipe?
[EVO 4G Android Development] vaelek:
1.4 is up

I haven't had time to test that scenario. There were a lot of changes and I wouldn't be surprised if not wiping brought up strange issues.

The upload is finished and verified, first post updated, have at it!
[EVO 4G Android Development] Infinite520:
I've been hitting f5 for what feels like forever already haha downloading now and can't wait to flash. pumped to see its using kingxkernel too. I've tried many different roms on here and have found yours to just be the best overall. Just want to say thanks for all the hard work!
[EVO 4G Android Development] runner77:
I wiped cache twice and flashed over 1.3a.

The ROM booted fine but my wifi showed "error". However, rebooting my phone seemed to take care of it......I'm on my home network now.

Everything else seems fantastic!!!

ETA: Nevermind. I've had two lockups.......performing a full wipe and reflashing.
[EVO 4G Android Development] vaelek:
A bonus

Here is a bonus for everyone. I've been running in a higher res for about a week prior to starting on 1.4 and being at the normal res has been rather painful. Seeing as how I prefer it over standard so much I thought some others might also. I haven't really found any apps that don't scale properly. Some widgets do better than others. You'll just have to see how it works for your setup.

These are both flashable, with an undo if you don't like it. I would not suggest flashing this on any other roms. No wipe or anything is required to use this.
[EVO 4G Android Development] runner77:
Love the resolution but I have a few apps and widgets that don't like. :(

How do you revert back?
[EVO 4G Android Development] bigant262:
Hey Vael, I'm not sure if its just me or not, but my market is going really slow.

Edit: Wiped and flashed again and everything is fine now! :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] Abracastabya:
Top-notch ROM! Excellent work man!
[EVO 4G Android Development] ReallyShawn:
I had no problems or slowness with the market. I re-installed many apps after having done a full wipe.

Working great for me ... and good enough I am even going to flash my wife's EVO.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ellis125:
it keeps telling me that launcher pro closes unexpectedly. android.process.acore. any ideas why?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Abracastabya:
Mine was doing that too when I had the Hi-Res.zip installed...un-installed and seems fine now.
[EVO 4G Android Development] vaelek:
Just flash the hires-undo to revert to normal
[EVO 4G Android Development] vaelek:
That is odd... I've been using the high res for about a week and haven't had any fc's from it. Perhaps all devices are not created equally in that area as in OC'ing... :(

Out of about a dozen boots, twice things were very sluggish and I wasn't able to figure out the cause other than cpu% was a solid 95% or higher. A reboot fixed it right away both times. Not sure if it was something in the rom or another app I have installed causing it.

Hoping to take it as a good sign that there's been 60+ downloads so far and the only problems seem to be related to the high res zip.
[EVO 4G Android Development] :
Minor Flaw?

AMAZING Rom my friend!!!!!! Well done! 1 issue though, I have SetCPU oc to 1136Mhz and it was fine all night til this morning, It froze up and the phone restarted itself. I set it down to 1036Mhz now and will see what happens. Do you think it might be the Kernal?
[EVO 4G Android Development] vaelek:
I've found when OC'ing that devices are not created equal. Mine seems perfectly stable up to 1152, a friend of mine can run another step higher with a lockup only every now and then. I personally have not had any lock ups or reboots with anything 1152 and below, though my base setting is max 998 and I rarely go above unless benchmarking.
[EVO 4G Android Development] vaelek:
Woot! This currently stands as my all time record score!
[EVO 4G Android Development] :
Awesome, Thanks!! Speaking of Benchmark....I got a Quadrant score of 1552 last night on this version. :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] mitchellvii.1:
Hmmm, right now using cm6 9/3/10 nightly and King's new kernel, got a 3.9 linpack and over 2200 quad.

I do have an ext2 left over from when I was running Snap 7.1. Perhaps that's the difference?
[EVO 4G Android Development] mitchellvii.1:
Need some clarification on the dialer thing...

One of the main reasons I have stayed away from the HTC Sense-based roms is that I hate their Dialer, Contacts, etc. AOSP much better.

One of the MOST important things for me is the screen that pops up during a call in which you can turn bluetooth on or off FOR JUST THAT CALL quickly. Using a homescreen widget to do this during a call is way to slow. Also, you have to reactivate it afterwards - big hassle and again, slow.

Is that a part of the Dialer.apk you posted earlier or something else? If I am going to use a Sense-based rom I have to have that feature. For instance, if I pushed the Dialer.apk to a rom like Fresh 3.2 (that just came out), would it give me the bluetooth button I need?
[EVO 4G Android Development] vaelek:
I know Cyanogen has something that messes with quadrant scores. Ever since I saw his twit of a 9000+, I don't weigh CM6 scores as accurate. I have not seen any real comments from Cyanogen on this since and until I do that's my stance. If that is legit though then that is impressive :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] mitchellvii.1:
Also, what's the difference between using adp to push an .apk to my sdcard and just using a usb mount to drag it over there? Same effect, right?
[EVO 4G Android Development] runner77:
Duh! How did I not see that file?

BTW I just got a 1562 Quad score using this new version. Best ROM out there!!!
[EVO 4G Android Development] mitchellvii.1:
Yep, it's legit. Ur right, I think it may be some trick, however, the Linpack Score is harder to cheat. I have noticed that your Quad scores go up with an ext2 because it somehow improves the read/write times which are the slowest aspect of a Quad Test.

Who knows, benchies are benchies.

Does your rom do all the cool stuff Fresh does for instance?
[EVO 4G Android Development] vaelek:
Yep they accomplish the same thing. Also if you've never heard of it, androidcommander.com is about the easiest method all around.

It seems like forever since I've even looked at another rom so I'll have to go check it out again before I can answer that one.. The last Fresh rom I used was pre-FroYo
[EVO 4G Android Development] mitchellvii.1:
So your Dialer.apk will give me my bluetooth button? Is the version you posted early in this blog the correct one?

Much thanks.
[EVO 4G Android Development] vaelek:
Whoops I missed your first post about that. The AOSP dialer is included in the rom. I don't use bluetooth much and off the top of my head have no idea. I can test this in a bit. My first thought is that it may be part of the phone.apk rather than the dialer, in which case it won't work on any htc based rom (same issue as the sense slider appearing when getting a call while locked)

Edit: No there is no bluetooth toggle on the dialer screen. Only mute and speaker.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ctyke:
So far so good. Hi res working for me, but no overclock yet. More testing.
[EVO 4G Android Development] vaelek:
Somebody is going to notice this eventually so I'll just throw it out there now.. I *still* missed one.. Attempts to update Google Search will result in a sign error.

Now that I know how to create them, I will be providing a flashable fix for this sometime today.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mitchellvii.1:
Thanks,

Still trying to figure out why HTC intentionally removed this HUGELY useful tool. The fact that it turns bluetooth on and off for just that call and not system wide make it invaluable.

Lol, HTC must have some former M$ coders working there. M$ is famous for breaking stuff that works just fine.
[EVO 4G Android Development] randymac88:
That's cool...I can understand that. I actually like just the 4 bars. I'm in NYC, and don't have many signal problems and I've always taken the approach that it either calls, or doesn't call. So 4, 6, or 8 bars makes no difference. Plus, I'm a purist at heart and want the clean, original, and historic ROM look of AOSP.

In any case, thanks!
[EVO 4G Android Development] vaelek:
More? Already? YES!

Cool things happening.. Already testing a refresh based on 3.28.651.1 (the as-of-yet-unreleased OTA). This has official audio fix so stagefright doesn't have to be turned off anymore. This base is also said to have phenomenal battery life. We shall see.

Doing some testing and had a few issues. Wifi was broken out of the box :confused: but that seemed to be a driver issue and is already working great. Already further along than I was with the attempt the other night and may well have something put out today yet. This is very new and I want to ease into it so it will probably be limited to private testing for a day (maybe less, maybe more). Donors will automatically receive links to the beta.

Donating is *NOT* required to get in on the beta because #1 I am not selling anything here, and #2 there aren't many donors and the more testers the better. So if you have not donated and want to help out PM me and you will also get an email when there is something available.

Stay tooned

[EVO 4G Android Development] kingkongsmith:
I'm really want to try ur Rom out... I'm a beginner... so I start off with a wipe... then I can flash ur latest Rom or I have to start from the first and flash in order?... help me out I just rooted my evo today from the 2.2 it came with .
[EVO 4G Android Development] Abracastabya:
Yeah just download the ROM, put it on the root of your SD card, boot into recovery, wipe, then flash.
[EVO 4G Android Development] webby_s:
Ya, so I downloaded the latest and as it was downloading, I made backups of everything again.

Took off 1.3a from my SD Card, put on 1.4. Wiped my data. now after a few seconds to a minute of updating everything I am getting a shut down and reboot constantly.

I am downloading 1.4 again incase the file somehow got corrupted but thought I would post and see what people thought. Thanks
[EVO 4G Android Development] webby_s:
Just thought I'd give an update, nothing new. Keeps rebooting after a few seconds of running and using. Where is a Check 5sum program I can run on the downloaded file to verify?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Infinite520:
Did you wipe cache and dalvik too?
[EVO 4G Android Development] webby_s:
I did now? Maybe.

This time I did "wipe cache Partition" and "wipe user data"

I don't know what dalvik is and have never done anything with a partition so I didn't wipe that before.

Nope, still restarting and rebooting :( Next option?

Edit again:

Ok I found Dalvik in the advanced settings of clockwork and erased that and it seems to working so far.

And I didn't know I had to erase that.

What is dalvik again?
[EVO 4G Android Development] vaelek:
If you have clockwork recovery, it is on the advanced menu, if you have AR, I can't remember but just go through the menus until you see dalvik, and then wipe it.

The easiest way is to just download rom manager from the market if you don't already have it and flash with that, choosing the option to wipe. If you continue to get reboots, can you provide logcat output?

when it reboots after flashing, just type

adb logcat > bootlog.txt

if it doesn't automatically drop back to the command prompt when the phone reboots, ctl-c to stop it and attach the file back here.

If you haven't found one yet, there is an md5 tool here

Hopefully you just got a bad download, I think this is the first report of this problem so far since the beginning...
