how to

Ive been using this rom for 2 days and love it. Everything works. All i want to know are two things. Is an upload speed of .02 kb fine with the wireless tether? And how do you get that awesome widget to be able to turn airplane mode off and on. Mine doesnt give me that option.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jorgis1:
Nvm noob questions. Figured out. But the download time was .4 kB. Guess thats fine.
[EVO 4G Android Development] bassic:
I don't have that issue, however I did notice another occasional bug with the lock screen. Sometimes the "unlock" swipe bar on the left side doesn't show up when I press the power button to turn the screen on. If I tap on the screen where the bar/button is supposed to show up, it appears.

Another thing I've had some trouble with is Swype. I had been using a slightly modified version of the most recently available Swype 1.61.37.8128_WVGA800 that had been floating around (same but with all language packs except US English removed to cut it from 15MB to < 3MB) and it worked fine until this morning when I got a "Your Trial Has Ended" message. I uninstalled that, and then installed the one in the vaelpak-extras folder, and then when I go to the "Language & keyboard" settings and check the box next to Swype, the screen briefly flashes then Swype stays unchecked. There's no way to enable it.

I'm going to have to look into the Swype issue; regardless of the behavior of the one in vaelpak-extras, I'll have to see if the latest 'trial' expired and there's a new version available.
[EVO 4G Android Development] vaelek:
I think the unlock bar thing is an os glitch. Swype will not be discussed here, go to the forum in my sig for answers.
[EVO 4G Android Development] stangdriverdoug:
Bump for a extremely solid rom and great developer support. Been using this for a couple weeks now with netarchys kernel and NO set cpu...battery has been great.
[EVO 4G Android Development] regulator207:
vael. you do a great job. I've attached the htc mail client (mail.apk) that i ran the exchange server policy patch on for anybody else that may want to use it for work.

I like the htc mail client because it can synch all my mail from my work inbox and setup "peak times."

The way i install it is to add it to the system/app in the zip file before i flashed the new rom. to each his own i guess.
[EVO 4G Android Development] bigant262:
Well it depends on what you want to use tether with. And I'd suggest keep running speedtest and see what the average is.
[EVO 4G Android Development] dunteesilver:
Is there a desktop view for the browser. I don't see it anywhere in the settings.
[EVO 4G Android Development] elapshtc:
Try dolphin browser the non hd one. I made the move cause the default browser won't download zip files. Also has option for desktop.
[EVO 4G Android Development] kpkimmel:
here ya go, the Crow splash screen....not sure how to make it so you can see the actual image without downloading the zip....all i could do was zip the .bmp so you can dl that open it..if you like the splash dl the other file...
[EVO 4G Android Development] bigant262:
Type about:debug in the browser, and you will have the option to set it to desktop. I believe its under settings>uv strings or something like that.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mchuang:
Anyone know how use the default htc sms app. I noticed that when i get a new sms it does not update. Sorry if this has been answered i did look thru this thread and could not find anything specific.
[EVO 4G Android Development] vaelek:
What do you mean it doesn't update? The htc mms is packaged in and works out of the box along side handcent...
[EVO 4G Android Development] dunteesilver:
Type about:debug in the url? I tried that and nothing happened. Thanks for ur help.
[EVO 4G Android Development] vaelek:
...and then go to browser settings/ua string.

Each time you go to the url it toggles the debug section in the settings.
[EVO 4G Android Development] dunteesilver:
Thanks. Got it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mchuang:
Ok I take that back, it updates in the notification bar, but the default message icon and default email icon that i have on my home screen do not show 1 or 2 or the number of messages or emails i have pending like they use to. Is there a way to change that. I tried installing some of the apk files in the extras folder like the htc clock and mail widget and it goes thru install and says application not installed.
[EVO 4G Android Development] vaelek:
Ok I get it now. If you use ADW, it doesn't seem to support badging that I can find, so you would need a 3rd party widget for that. If you use Launcher Pro, there is an option to turn on counts for mail, sms and missed calls.

You can not use any of the sense widgets without the sense ui.

If you really want the htc clock, go to the forums in my sig, there is a good download there. BUT, if you do not also install the HTC lockscreen, and you set the alarm clock, if it goes off while your phone is locked, the only way to shut it up is to reboot.
[EVO 4G Android Development] bassic:
I wanted this too, but with Launcher Pro, the only option I could find is do display the counts on the dock icons, not necessarily on the home screen icons. I'm guessing that's a part of sense.

By the way vaelek, I really like how you set up your own forum specific to your ROM, with different threads for each topic of discussion. These 200+ page threads that cover every issue are overwhelming!
[EVO 4G Android Development] snandlal:
Anybody in this thread know how get wired adb while in system to work? Using this rom with kings 10 cfs
[EVO 4G Android Development] vaelek:
What do you mean?
[EVO 4G Android Development] mchuang:
Ok understood. I dont really care about the clock actually, it was just a convenient way to get to my alarm clocks. I have those options in launcher pro checked, but the icons still do not update. Are there other icons i need to use? Either way this rom is very fast.
[EVO 4G Android Development] snandlal:
Trying caulkin and baked snack, while in the phone operating system, adb woks fine. Using this rom i get device not found while in OS. Debugging is on and the drivers on the pc are correct. It works fine in recovery mode just not in the OS...tryed flashing vaelpak 2.2 over the kernel as seen in another thread. What file(s) are needed in the OS to have working adb??
[EVO 4G Android Development] mchuang:
Found a decent work around. Just had to add email and sms in the drawer and they now update.
[EVO 4G Android Development] goffmj:
I'm pretty sure the setting is (unfortunately) specifically to update the dock icons, not the ones on your homescreen. Chompsms has a widget icon that will display a badge, no matter the launcher you use. As far as email, not sure of a replacement that has a badge.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jerry_smith_80:
I've been using this rom for a couple of weeks. Love it! Great work! Thanks
[EVO 4G Android Development] vaelek:
I'm not sure what you mean by flashing 2.2 over the kernel. If you came from a different rom you will need to do a full wipe or there's really not much I can do to help. If you did that, any chance you use Android Commander? I'm not sure if I have the latest version but lately it's been crashing adb a lot and a reboot of my pc is all that will fix it. A couple of times I've also had to toggle debugging off & on again on the phone. No one else has reported any adb problems so far.
[EVO 4G Android Development] snandlal:
I flashed your rom (2.2), love it, then flashed king's kernel. I read in a post to flash the rom back over the kernel to get adb to work so I reflashed your rom. I did a full wipe and i usually can fix my own problems I just can't get this but since you said sumpthin bout Android Commander your probably right thanx....will try to do the Android Commander thing....Thanks anyways VaelPak
[EVO 4G Android Development] apu701:
hi i recently switched from CM6 to this rom. i am enjoying the battery life im getting so far and the rom is gonna be a keeper for me. But I am having a few issuses.

Im getting a force close on com.htc.bgp ... what is this and any solution?

ps. did a full wipe before flashing.
[EVO 4G Android Development] vaelek:
There haven't been any reports of fc's really at all... If you can get me a logcat when it happens I'd be happy to take a look. Without that I really can't even guess what might be going on as this is a unique case. Did you restore anything after flashing? Or apply any other mods?
[EVO 4G Android Development] vaelek:
Any luck with this?

Btw, I have never heard of that fix. And technically, if you flash the rom, and then flash a different kernel, and then flash the rom again, all you have accomplished is you will end up with a dozen or so extra files in /system/lib/modules that are left over from the other kernel.

One thing you could try that I have to do every now and then, is make sure you have android commander closed and run adb kill-server, followed by adb-usb and try again.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Burningsouls:
I just can't seem to get wireless tendering to work with this. I've tried the version included and the one from the market. The phone shows up on the computer but it has no connectivity
[EVO 4G Android Development] vaelek:
Go to the forum in my sig for a fix.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Rinker:
Goto Vael's site and get his fix.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ghostyroasty:
I flashed VaelPak last night with custom kernel (kings #10 cfs) and am getting horrible battery life. Is this normal for this rom? Lost 10 percent in. 10 minutes.

Forgot to mention that I love this rom! Other than the battery life, this had been perfect!
[EVO 4G Android Development] ctyke:
Try kings #6 or netarchy 4.1.x.x damage control kernel. They have much better battery life.
[EVO 4G Android Development] xhazyx:
Is anyone else having problems with titanium backup... it force closes when i try to unistall an app.
[EVO 4G Android Development] bigmoogle:
No problem here. Any app? What app were you trying to uninstall?
[EVO 4G Android Development] xhazyx:
pretty much any app... i was trying to unistall peep for example then flashlight, the only thing i could unistall was adw. and also it wouldnt restore properly

i reinstalled it, even reflashed vaelpak and nothing worked. the only possibility i see is that the vaelpak zip was corrupted, tho i doubt it. idk it's just ****in frustrating lol
[EVO 4G Android Development] vaelek:
Did you repair Busybox? (hit the Problems? button in TB)
[EVO 4G Android Development] josh6780:
is there a way you can replace the bluetooth with the ASOP version so we can get the wiimote working with this ROM?
[EVO 4G Android Development] ghostyroasty:
Another problem I have noticed today... I purchased the nhl gamecenter live app, and the video was choppy.. Switched over to cyanogenmod and everything was smith as butter... Is there something I could flash or install that would improve video playback?
[EVO 4G Android Development] xhazyx:
Yea... but unfortunately it didn't work. I'm gonna re-download and flash again, we'll see how it goes. I definitely want to get this ROM working, because it has just the right amount of SENSE I need
[EVO 4G Android Development] docsparks:
Is there a link to the original kernel that came with this rom?

ive tried experimenting trying to find a better kernel, and it turns out everything, Ive tried is a lot worse.

Sorry if its been awnsered already, been running with this rom since the 13th [while also upgrading to the latest version] of last month... prob. the longest ive ran a rom on my evo.

---

another thing..

any word on why FixPermissions from ROM Manager doesn't work? I always get 'An error occurred while attempting to run privileged commands!"

Ive upgraded to newest busybox and SU, not sure what is going wrong...

--well, tryed flashing the zip to fix apps with root problems.. now phone wont get past white EVO4g Screen. coooooool.-----

FINAL SOLUTION: wiped dalvik/cache and just reflash vaelpak. atleast im back in my phone..
[EVO 4G Android Development] vijithecrab:
When I try to download any app from market it takes forever to start.Any clue ?

N.B: I'm running clean flashed 2.2 rom.
[EVO 4G Android Development] vincey2kr1:
Trying out this rom, going back and forth between myns, I'm really liking this rom. This camera tweak could sway me and few others, is it implemented yet? Wishing htc mail was working as well!
[EVO 4G Android Development] vaelek:
The camera tweak is more than just the app. I haven't put a lot of time into this one yet, but it should be doable. The big difference is likely in the media config where bitrate/compression is set.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Dan_:
Yes please.
[EVO 4G Android Development] J_Bone:
Really enjoying this ROM! It seems to be playing extra nice with the Kings 11 kernel.

One issue for me though it that there is the circular, swirling icon in the bottom middle that appears to be hung up in certain programs, (AppBrain, Astro and RomManager mostly). It's the same icon that shows when the phone is "doing something".

Is this something I should be concerned about? It hasn't affected anything that I can tell.

More info, the first time I REMEMBER seeing it was when I was purchasing an app on AppBrain and got an error saying there was not enough money but I was sure there was. I purchased another not long after that. FWIW, it tried to send the purchase in a few days later and it was declined again.

I have tried rebooting my phone. I was also on the HTC 11 original kernel at the time. So in the time since it started I have flashed two other kernels (Kings 9 and 11).

Haven't tried to reflash the ROM yet as I was hoping to not have to go through setting things back up again.

Thanks!
[EVO 4G Android Development] vaelek:
What you are seeing is the effect of the ad blocking hosts file that is in this rom. I am working on a settings app to toggle things like this. If you need it to not block, replace /system/etc/hosts with ~hosts from the same folder and reboot.
[EVO 4G Android Development] hammysink:
Yup those are those little annoying banner ads at the bottom of the screen in many free apps. The loading animation is almost as annoying :)

I purchase ad-free apps whenever possible. That way the dev gets their money and I stay un-annoyed :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] runner77:
Any updates or new apps coming soon? 2.3?

It's been a long time since I flashed my phone. :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] bassic:
Vaelek,

Have you considered changing the blocked hosts to use 0.0.0.0 instead of 127.0.0.1?

I wonder if that would have any effect; I'm not exactly sure how Android handles the hosts file, but 127.0.0.1 is the loopback address and 0.0.0.0 is the null ip. I know some systems may hang waiting for a response from LOCALHOST but may immediately time out on the null IP. Just a thought; I haven't tested it yet (but on the other hand I don't currently have any problems).
[EVO 4G Android Development] hammysink:
Not answering for Vaelek but if I were a ROM chef I'd be holding off major efforts for Android 3 which should drop within a month or so. This place will blow up then, I wonder if 3 will come OTA or if chefs/cyanogen will be the first to release something.

Edit: One article said it'll drop within 2 days. Fingers crossed :D
[EVO 4G Android Development] xlGmanlx:
What article was that?
[EVO 4G Android Development] bigant262:
Whoa, hold on there little buddy. :) lol, jk. But the way it works is, Google releases 3.0, which at first will be AOSP (phones like N1 and G2 will get the update first) then HTC gets the source, and they make it work with Sense, then they release the Sense 3.0 source, then the roms that are Sense based (like Vaelpak) will get updated to 3.0, so if 3.0 will be released soon, it will still be a while until HTC gets Sense working with it. :( Correct me if I'm wrong though.
[EVO 4G Android Development] lui22:
hey what things are missing? pm the camera.apk?

Yup reading a bit more, and checking some official google sources, there's no indication that Gingerbread will even be 3.0-- but it does seem to be the case that it will be released q4 of this year, which we're in. I'm hopeful :)

Sorry to raise an old bit of news from the dead, I assume most folks in this community saw it when it came out.
[EVO 4G Android Development] stangdriverdoug:
Bump for a rom that is better than advertised. Been running this as my daily for a few weeks now and it's a great alternative for CM6 when in 4g areas.
[EVO 4G Android Development] hammysink:
Yup just plain solid.
[EVO 4G Android Development] D.J.CaSpER:
Thank u for the up load. I've been running v2.2 for about a week now. Dam good Rom. Had a lil lag but setcpu is maxed out now. I wouldn't know what to do if this Rom could get any faster. I tested calk's new Rom evio 2 v1.4 and on setcpu i could overclock too 1.1 ghz. On urs I'm maxed at .998 ghz. Why is that? Love the rom

Evo 4g
[EVO 4G Android Development] LuCkyCn:
^

Depends on the kernels you're using.
[EVO 4G Android Development] vaelek:
Yes 2.2 comes with the latest HTC kernel which is not overclockable. Skydeaner put together a truly awesome kernel comparison at http://ttechnology.home.comcast.net/~ttechnology/index.html

Any of the HTC kernels listed there will work with VaelPak.
[EVO 4G Android Development] D.J.CaSpER:
Thank u for it info on this ill check it out. And again love the rom

Evo 4g
[EVO 4G Android Development] D.J.CaSpER:
There r so many different ones to chose from. Is there 1 in ur opinion that would work best for overclocking and battery?

Evo 4g
[EVO 4G Android Development] Wizhk:
I have been using Kings Kernel #8 with this ROM for a month now. Runs smooth and fast.
[EVO 4G Android Development] D.J.CaSpER:
Thank u for ur help on this.

sent from my Evo 4g
[EVO 4G Android Development] :
Just want to share my homescreen screen shot running VaelPak :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] :
Is there a way to flash the stock launcher for this? I know it was on versions before this.
[EVO 4G Android Development] liv4evr:
Omg. This is way better than I expected. Thank you!
[EVO 4G Android Development] liv4evr:
Ok, I know I'm missing something but I can't find how to disable the vibrate when I unlock my phone. Please help. Lol.
[EVO 4G Android Development] hammysink:
So far this is the only ROM I can get to flatline (in system info history tab) for 2 hours, giving "standby time" of many, many hours.

I'm doing my best to get similar results on other rom's but so far this is the one I'll use while traveling!
[EVO 4G Android Development] bigant262:
Are you talking about Sense?

It should be somewhere in settings, if it were there. I'm not sure it is.
[EVO 4G Android Development] EVOme:
Anyone know where to get HTC kernel #11 all by itself??
[EVO 4G Android Development] vaelek:
The stock launcher went missing in the last release (or two). I will post it in the post-release files thread in the 2.2 forum at vaelek.com shortly

For the HTC kernel, check out this page http://ttechnology.home.comcast.net/~ttechnology/downloads.html

(Any kernel in the HTC section on this page is compatible with Vaelpak)
[EVO 4G Android Development] Cubfan99:
Ok, we're all ready for the next version of the best ROM available. ;)
[EVO 4G Android Development] EVOme:
Great site and rom.....Thanks!!!!!
[EVO 4G Android Development] larry12345:
does snap kernal 7,6 work with this rom? after using the snap all other roms are almost useless. you kinda get spoiled with the speed.
[EVO 4G Android Development] bigmoogle:
This is actually a sense rom, so no.
[EVO 4G Android Development] vaelek:
I have not tried it personally, but Snap 7.6 Turbo has been known to work with some Sense roms, and at least a few people have confirmed it will run on VaelPak.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ellis125:
Im guessing your using launcher pro so wut icons and background r u using on your dock? looks very nice
[EVO 4G Android Development] :
Im using a launcher pro theme from myn's warm two point two. You have to uninstall Launcher pro first and then flash the file.
[EVO 4G Android Development] liv4evr:
My phone seems to sync all day. The icon Is always spinning round n round. I have my gmail and facebook contacts synced. Anyone else having problems? How do I fix it?
[EVO 4G Android Development] ellis125:
Alright thx!
[EVO 4G Android Development] vaelek:
The only thing known to cause this (though it doesn't seem to *always* cause it) is if you do not add your Google account on the first run through the Setup Wizard after flashing the rom. I added my Facebook account later, but have run into it in the past where this also caused the constant synching.
[EVO 4G Android Development] vaelek:
VaelPak Settings finally here

It is still a work in progress, but the Settings app has finally gone live

Check out the post here
[EVO 4G Android Development] saintek:
Hello all...im from latin america (Argentina)..here is my case. i friend of mine, brougth me a htc evo 4g from US...so i know that i cant used here in my country, cuse we dosent have SPRINT..so if i understand..in this forum you explain how to install i new rom to the cellphone...but could it be unlocked??

I accidentally set the HTC sense messenger as my default. I absolutely hate this messenger and would like to use handscent instead.

I tried clearing the default in application settings but the original messenger has it greyed out. I tried installing chompsms so that I could get the option again but that didn't work any ideas?
[EVO 4G Android Development] bjitty:
Aweome work vaelek. I've been running VaelPak 2.0 for a while now and my phone has been super stable. I keep wanting to try a newer version. However with everything running so well I don't want to mess with it at the moment.

I do have one question though. Google recently released a new version of the Youtube app on the market.

I can't get the app to install from the market. It doesn't give me any detailed error it just downloads and then says it failed to install.

I figured I'd have to go into System\Apps\ and remove the old one but it's not there.

Does anyone have any clue how to fix this?
[EVO 4G Android Development] kudosmog:
Do you have titanium backup?

You should be able to clear date/remove app from that.

If not, I'm sure someone can give you the adb commands or the terminal commands. I can't remember them.
[EVO 4G Android Development] bjitty:
I do. I'll try that thanks for the reply.
[EVO 4G Android Development] bjitty:
That did the trick! Thanks!
[EVO 4G Android Development] liv4evr:
So what kernals can I run?
[EVO 4G Android Development] vaelek:
Any of the one's in the HTC section here - http://ttechnology.home.comcast.net/~ttechnology/downloads.html
[EVO 4G Android Development] vaelek:
There isn't a default option for messenger. If you are receiving notifications in the stock one, just turn them off in its settings.

I have zips from another ROM to add transition animations (flip, bounce, fly-in). The other ROM is a sense ROM. Do you think they will work with this ROM?
