Unless you use an app to overclock it, no.

Nonono, You can flash 2.1 by itself, but if you are not coming from 2.0 you will need to wipe first.
[EVO 4G Android Development] adma84:
vaelek, do you prefer overclocking or do you feel that it shortens the life of the device and is therefore not worth it? I think I am just excited about the undervolting...as long as I don't get reboots :-) Thanks, excited to give this a shot...was running Fresh with the latest HTC kernel
[EVO 4G Android Development] Noel2255:
Alright thanks, and one more thing. This rom has the fps uncapper ?
[EVO 4G Android Development] vaelek:
I have never overclocked for any purpose other than running a benchmark. 998 seems fast enough for everything I've done at least. I don't really have any games or other cpu intensive things on my phone so others may have different thoughts on this.

I do have underclocking profiles setup though (eg 4xx max on screen off, bat low, temp high, etc)
[EVO 4G Android Development] midnightmaraude:
I found the fancy widget and laumch it but still cant see where the weather widget is...just the time widget.
[EVO 4G Android Development] vaelek:
Yes 2.1 has the kings BFS #9 kernel out of the box.
[EVO 4G Android Development] adma84:
and those profiles are all done through setcpu?
[EVO 4G Android Development] vaelek:
They are one in the same? The weather appears under the time... :confused:
[EVO 4G Android Development] vaelek:
Correct.....
[EVO 4G Android Development] vaelek:
Hi-res patch for the HTC kernel are up. I just added them to the original post to keep things together. If you want it, here you go

I'm going to make an app to toggle this hopefully in the next few days and get rid of the need to flash it altogether.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Noel2255:
Hey I Just flashed your rom, and I'm liking it a lot. Props to you man.

One thing how's the battery on this rom?
[EVO 4G Android Development] midnightmaraude:
Vaelek dont mean to be a pain but now when I click the htc clock widget a screen pops up to select city for the weather but its just listing other countries. Am I way off?

Your previous post said the weather and time are one in the same but like I said there is no wrather under the time and the issue statef anove when I click the widget
[EVO 4G Android Development] vaelek:
Look for Fancy Widget in the app drawer and run that, you can then set the options such as location for weather, and actions for tapping time/weather.

By default it uses geolocation. If you turn that off, and hit set location, you should get a box to enter the city or zip code.

...Heading home from work now.. back later.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jahnile:
Am using palmary weather as my default weather app Alongside fancy widget. The HTC weather app u are referring to only works with sense.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jahnile:
Been using this Rom since the initial version and the battery life is def.ly on point. When I was running 2.0 I was getting a full day @ work with 40% or so remaining. I use my ph for almost everything when am @ work. Give your ph/system time to build your battery stats and you should be fine.
[EVO 4G Android Development] midnightmaraude:
I had this working with 2.0
[EVO 4G Android Development] midnightmaraude:
Fixed. I think I had to select the compatibility mode. Its showing up now
[EVO 4G Android Development] vaelek:
Now I'm curious.. would you post a screenie of what you're talking about?
[EVO 4G Android Development] jbwell62:
2.1 is unstable

Too many random re-boots with 2.1, had to go back to 2.0 that has been very stable what a bummer. I really wanted to 2.1 but too many re-boot and lockup, every thing was wipe twice before 2.1 was flashed.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ginjeet:
1st time with your ROM. #9 was a good choice elsewhere so this may work. Was tired of removing sense from everything looking for a daily driver. Believe me, I've pretty much tried them all.

Looks good so far. Pretty snappy.

I will try to break things. It is in my nature, or some sort of genetic knack I have. I generally start at the top and work my way down in settings.

Here's the first ones :-)

Personalization crashes settings in the 1st 2 of 3 choices.

Sprint HotSpot works, but you can't adjust it thru settings. Crashes, leaves the HS up. (ok, yeah, I pay for now, for now).

That's my 1st hour into it. But those are gnats compared to what I usually find. I think our tastes in ROM are similar.

Whilst I'm at it, any reason you chose Battery Snap? It's nice looking, but seems at great odds with your notification bar. I'd like to believe the bar. Maybe a little calibration would help. I did wipe stats pre-flash.

Just indroducing myself, and planning to buy ya a beer soon. This looks worthy.

Thanks!
[EVO 4G Android Development] vaelek:
Would you be willing to humor me and try going to 2.1 from 2.0 without wiping anything? I did almost all testing on making sure it worked well for those updating and it's possible I missed something for those starting fresh.

Personalize was added by HTC and requires sense apps that have been removed. If I can I will take it out of the menu entirely but haven't looked into that at all. Scenes apply only to the SenseUI home app, wallpaper can be set from menu on the home screen, and ringtone can be set from the sound menu, so this has been very low priority and I don't personally consider it a bug.

I chose Battery Snap, basically, because it's what I use. If you have something better to recommend I am open to suggestions (This goes for anyone, for any app I have preloaded). I'm not sure what you mean it seems at odds with the notification bar?

Break away :cool:
[EVO 4G Android Development] midnightmaraude:
Sure. Lemme figure that part out

I cant reproduce the disappearing weather icon...not sute how I got it in there I'm guessing it was due to the app finally getting my location which made it pop up.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ginjeet:
Oh no need to trouble yourself removing those. Never used em anyways, lol. Point being, I have no clue why HTC put them in anyway, with better access available to those settings anyway. Proof of the bloat which is Sense I guess.

As for the bar and Snap being at odds, the bar remained full until Snap reached around 65% then fell to what looked to be 50%. The battery was fresh from an external charger pre flash. It's not really an annoyance either, no more than my message you have responded to, (was to you) lol. Just with the battery being so much of a focal point, I figured I'd bring it up in the process of introduction.

What I use, probably this now, until I get back to a snap kernel, where I'd be back on SnapWidget. I love seeing an actual current draw.

Off subject:

There are a lot of kissy-azz posts out there for you guys, and you deserve em. I prefer to just say I respect your work, and if I ever find real bugs to note, I know you'll be there. Praise and beer are two different things, consider yourself praised :-). Now where's the beer?

Time to hit up the ol' lady's cookie jar.

Thanks again.. awesome stuff.
[EVO 4G Android Development] adma84:
Why doesn't search work in AOSP contacts? Or why can't I get it to work?
[EVO 4G Android Development] vaelek:
Looks like you're right it pops up the search box but it doesn't do anything.
[EVO 4G Android Development] JerzyIroc:
Is there a way to find out if my Delvik is being cleared? I just noticed that nothing happens when I hit clear Delvik with ClockwordMod...
[EVO 4G Android Development] vaelek:
It's a bug in CW, lots of people say it's broken, but I think it's just the indication that is broken. It has to be since I've used only CW for over a month and when delvik wipe was necessary it did the trick.

I will say that clearing dalvik is the first thing the rom flash does, followed by boot cache, and regular cache.
[EVO 4G Android Development] JerzyIroc:
oo ok.. thanks for that. Had me a bit worried.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Abracastabya:
I could have swore there was a post about how to add your own custom fonts to the custom font app...now I can't find it :\ This is possible, right?
[EVO 4G Android Development] webby_s:
I don't think it's the Kernal, I am on your 2.0b4 with #8 so :confused:

So I have done this also and to my dismay (and thinking) I don't even get VaelPak boot screenie to appear :confused: :confused:

Dude, I am trying seriously! lol

Things I did while I was in 2.0b4:

tried flashing 2.0 public release; no go

did the market tweak to get that working

did the root privilege to get that working again

did the maps tweak to get that to download.

and did the street view tweak to get that in maps

Also the flash update tweak thingy too.

Now:

Nand back to 2.0b4

Next:

Well, try it all again, I am going to make this work :) I wanna know why this is happening.

I am noticing a few others with problems of rebooting but nothing really explained so I hope to get to the bottom of it.

Again I would like to get you a bootlog logcat thingy but I don't think I am doing it right. Next I may recored what I have going on and post it on youtube or something to show what I am doing (or not doing)

ps is the latest AMON Recovery 1.8? I am going to make a backup in AMON so I can exclusively use that rather then Clockwork.

ps also I have had this battery tweak working on your ROM's Vaelek http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=7556993&postcount=241
[EVO 4G Android Development] webby_s:
Also for those wanting the circle battery% in the top bar this is where I got mine http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=7556993&postcount=241 And it has worked flawlessly with all of vaelpak's I have tried!!! Test it out! BUT as stated in the past by Vaelek, it resets your wallpaper so change it back to your personal preference!
[EVO 4G Android Development] vaelek:
You can drop .ttf files into /data/local/fonts

1.8 is the latest Amon as far as I know.

Have you run BFS 9 at all before? I suppose there is a chance your device just doesn't like it for whatever reason. That is the main difference between 2.0 and 2.1. To find out, flash 2.1, then reboot straight back to recovery, and flash BFS 8, then boot and see what happens? I'm starting to run out of ideas on this one it just doesn't make much sense why it's giving you such a problem. Have you had problems like this with other roms at all?
[EVO 4G Android Development] webby_s:
I have not tried any other ROM's, I saw yours and gave it a shot once I rooted for the first time. I came from stock 2.2 Froyo and did the downgrade to 2.1 then the unrevoked thingy to root and did the "stock" rooted 2.2. Wiped and flashed your ROM at 1.3 and that's when I "fell in love" and wanna stick with it.

PS As I was waiting and typing this I went to Amon 1.8

Did a backup

Cleared all caches

Flashed 2.1 #9

and Now I am stuck on the white screen "htc EVO 4G" and rebooted to that 4 times with nothing

Next:

Go back into Amon and clear all caches again and re-flash see what I get then.

I have check the M5sum and all is good there
[EVO 4G Android Development] webby_s:
Wait should I try anything with Wipe SD:ext partition in Amon? Or would that erase my apps, pics, info and stuff on my SD card. Obviously I don't wanna do anything to loose my personal info on the SD card. But I will try anything!
[EVO 4G Android Development] ctyke:
Thought I would let you know. I noticed I had the menu unlock feature after flashing 2.1, which I didn't before the flash. Since I don't MMS, I installed your battery circle flash, well guess what. I lost the menu unlock feature. Maybe this will help you chase the feature down. Now off to restore R2D2 :D
[EVO 4G Android Development] webby_s:
Vaelek, just a quick update before I go to bed:

I reverted back to ROM Manager's Clockwork recovery, Didn't delete LP+, selected install ROM from SD (not in recovery in ROM Manager) and wipe. Have been up and running now for about a half hour with only one weird reboot. I kinda blame myself for it but I will keep a close eye on things. Trust me :) especially while I am sleeping. But things are looking good so far! I usually have 5 or 6 reboots by now.

Spoke too soon :( And I haven't even installed the Battery zip yet, just incase that was the culprit. But I have had 3 reboots in the last 5 minutes, 2 of which didn't fully reboot.

Again, how could I get that boot logcat thing going? Seriously, this has to be a hardware issue; the combo of your ROM and my luck is driving me insane. But because of nandroid backups, I will press on and keep fighting the good fight and see if I can get this working.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Abracastabya:
Can someone please help me out with partitioning the SD card to speed things up?! It's ****ing confusing! Been reading for 3 hours and the more I read about it the harder it is to figure it out :( I'm running 2.1 with RA 1.8.0...Is it even worth it? I know my question doesn't belong here but I'm getting desperate.
[EVO 4G Android Development] bigmoogle:
+1

Another data point. I also added the circle battery and no problems

I sent and received MMS using handcent.
[EVO 4G Android Development] adma84:
Any idea what's going on here?

I really love your layout there. Can you describe what widget you have at the top and what power control widget you have at the bottom?
[EVO 4G Android Development] adma84:
@vael, also, I started getting low memory warnings this morning! I went to bed last night, phone working great. And then I get these warnings. I had a different version of swype than you, a hi res one, that was about 16mb...I removed it, but I still get the warnings. I just flashed 2.1 yesterday, after a complete wipe....so this seems really weird.

The browser seems pretty huge, but I have nothing to compare it to. I only browsed the web for about 10 mins with it since the wipe, and like I said, no warnings when I went to bed.
[EVO 4G Android Development] caseydietz:
Internet

Hi Vael and others smarter than I at this stuff...

I am on 2.1 and when I try to install the other browser (Internet) all works fine, I clear the cache from the browser and go about my business, however when i reboot the phone the browser resets back to the default AOSP browser, any thoughts?

ROM is amazing though, thanks for your hard work!!!
[EVO 4G Android Development] :
Just flashed this and it works great, the battery circle is blue at 89% though, not sure I like that.

But I can send and receive MMS messages.

It did not however fix the Menu unlock "feature". If we're talking about the same thing that is, where you can unlock the screen by just pressing the Menu button instead of having to drag across the screen?
[EVO 4G Android Development] vaelek:
:confused::confused::confused: Holy crap dude.. Mine says 1.40MB. That sucker is HUGE on yours wtf is going on... And this keeps happening to you?? From a fresh flash, if you watch the size does it creep up or does it start out that huge? That's absolutely absurd!

Working on an automated solution for this, but for now, if you replace the browser, you have to delete the stock one before you reboot or it will come back. (Same goes for MMS and probably Email as well)

adb shell
sysrw
rm /system/app/Browser.apk
sysro
[EVO 4G Android Development] elas123:
Just installed 2.1 first trying your roms. My SD card keeps mounting read only. I've restarted many times any fixes
[EVO 4G Android Development] Novarider:
I had the low memory warning also! Maybe its the battery mod???

I did a wipe and nand restore and that fixed it. We will see if it happens again
[EVO 4G Android Development] adma84:
I think I have a pretty solid theory; last night, I was checking election results before I went to bed on the Desktop formatted version of the baltimore sun website, which has a ton of ads (flash based). Since I had only installed VAEL's rom yesterday, I had forgotten to turn FLASH to 'by demand only.' Even though I had sent my phone back to the home screen, I bet FLASH continued to run in the background updating with new ads, and that's why my browser data was so huge.
[EVO 4G Android Development] elas123:
Ok even after I wiped and nand to another backup. My SD card keep giving me read only. Errors. This never happened before till I installed this Rom. Any. Ideas and how to fix
[EVO 4G Android Development] midnightmaraude:
Question guys... or an observation moreso.

When I charge up my phone to 100%..a few minutes later it's showing 90%. I'm thinking this is not normal. Has anyone else had this experience?
[EVO 4G Android Development] vaelek:
I ran into this once (on cm6) and I had to format my sd to fix it. Idk if it just got corrupted or what caused it exactly...does it mount from recovery?
[EVO 4G Android Development] vaelek:
Seems to be a common issue. There is some plug/unplug/plug trick but idk it off hand. Think it has to do with the batt cells not charging evenly. I get this a lot too.not rom related. Maybe try wiping batt stats?
[EVO 4G Android Development] :
I've used these 2 battery mods and not had any issues, memory or MMS, yet.

[EVO 4G Android Development] regulator207:
Vael. Awesome rom man. I was just wondering if you had found a way to make the apps that are with the rom "updateable"

Seems like with every rom with apps in the system\app dir, they cannot be updated without deleting them and redownloading them from the market. I can't think of any solutions off hand. Maybe a script to install the apks from a seperate dir on first boot? Just a thought.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Systemfraud:
Could you possibly put updated screen shots? Curious.
[EVO 4G Android Development] MSmith1:
This is the most normal behavior that you will ever see on an Evo. Search the same phrase and you will see no less than a zillion posts on it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Novarider:
Ok I don't know what is going in with my phone. Yesterday I got a low memory notification so I did a wipe a nand restore and att that I had 188mb internal free. I was just now using the internet and I get the notification again! I checked and I only had 27mb left. I was going to do a wipe and just re flash the rom and start from scratch But the notifications disappeared and I checked the storage and I now have 188mb free again... Wtf is going on?

The only thing that's new its the smooth sense battery mod. Is there any way to remove it?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Novarider:
Vael will restoring apps with titanium backup break mms in 2.1 like it did in.2.0?
[EVO 4G Android Development] vaelek:
This was a problem earlier on, but everything at this point *should* be updatable. The issue isn't with them being in /system/app, it is with them being re-signed, and when the signature of what is installed doesn't match the new one from the market, the update fails until the old one is removed. The GAPPS updates I got came from CM and must have been signed by him, which is why maps, street, etc all failed to update. Those should all be fixed now.

Yep, I'm always slow with this, but should get that updated today at some point.

I don't understand these Browser/storage issues :confused::confused: Doing some testing right now on this.. Have you tried clearing the cache in the browser settings? Not sure if this is on the internal or SD though yet.

Edit: To remove a battery mod, you need to put /system/framework/framework-res.apk back. you can get it from the rom zip.
[EVO 4G Android Development] vaelek:
As long as you don't restore SMS/APN/MMS Dialer Storage you should be golden.

Edit: This action could affect MMS on *ANY* rom not just this one if you restore dialer storage.
[EVO 4G Android Development] caseydietz:
can I do this from my phone with Terminal?
[EVO 4G Android Development] joshpdavis80:
Has a solution been developed to stop the random reboots? I get a few per day since switching to 2.1 from 2.0. Should I return to 2.0? If so, do I need to wipe everything? Thanks!
[EVO 4G Android Development] Wazzy:
From what I understand of the issue this is because the phone will show a green led at 90% full and will not charge correct from that point to full, so you have to unplug and then plug back in to get it to really top to 100%.

Or you could plug in to green led, unplug until amber led goes out replug and keep doing that until it stays green, then with power still connected shut off the phone and repeat until you again have a solid green led when you plug back in. It could take a while to get to this point. Mine took something like 10 mins of plugging and unplugging but the battery life was greatly increased.

HTH
[EVO 4G Android Development] adma84:
this is not the ROM, but the kernel (which is different from 2.0). Feel free to flash any of the kernels mentioned in the first post...
[EVO 4G Android Development] vaelek:
yes, from terminal do

su
sysrw
rm /system/app/Browser.apk
sysro

Or you can use any file manager that can gain R/W to /system (ie Root Explorer)
[EVO 4G Android Development] ginjeet:
Amen. Frustrating as well. Has me cycling batteries in and out of an external charger all day with my level of use. Gonna be up to HTC to make a fix I'd guess. /sigh
[EVO 4G Android Development] JerzyIroc:
I had the same low memory issue yesterday. I'm not using the battery mod. I actually think it's the Dolphin browser and not the rom. I always had clear cache checked whenever I would close the browser. I decided to keep it unchecked to make my browsing on the websites I'm always on a little faster. Later that day I got a low memory warning. I had 3mb of internal memory. When I opened up Dolphin browser there was 68mb of data. I cleared it, rebooted and have it checked at clear cache when I exit and haven't had the issue since.

I'm going back to Kings BFS8. Battery life on BFS9 is absolutely atrocious. I've yet to get more than 5 hours of battery life. As a matter if fact I'm swapping batteries three times a day now. It's definitely not an app. Haven't added a new app in a while. Also last night I switched to four different ROMs to see if the HDMI problem was the rom or the phone. Each time I completely wiped including when I went back to Vaelpak 2.1. Btw, Vaelpaks is the only rom that doesn't freeze my phone. I get video but no audio. Any stock rom immediately freezes my phone. Don't know if its my phone or cable. Anyway. Things are back to normal with BFS8.
[EVO 4G Android Development] adma84:
Wow, 5 hrs is bad. Im getting much better than that. Also, I am not using the dolphin browser...just the AOSP one that Vael gave us
[EVO 4G Android Development] JerzyIroc:
Vaelek, I'm getting video but no audio when I'm plugged to hdmi. With stock sense ROM's, it freezes instantly. Your ROM is based off Sense. Why would your ROM play video but with strictly Sense ROMs the phone freezes instantly? What could be different about your ROM and the stock Sense ROMs? Do you think it's my phone or the cable?

Btw, did you get my pm?
[EVO 4G Android Development] vaelek:
Unfortunately I do not have a cable to test this with, have never used the HDMI on here. That is definitely interesting that mine works more than the stock though lol.

I will see if I can get my hands on a cable and look into this a bit. If you can get a logcat it may provide something useful.

Yea I saw your PM, that's crazy man lol... still looking into that whole thing but your info is definitely helpful :) Keep it coming lol.
