How exactly do I do a logcat? I thought it was kind if funny that it works more than stock ROMs considering you didn't do anything with it lol. I'm glad the camera info helped. Oo and the iPhone 4 uses a modified Omnivision driver for the camera. The Evo is using the generic Qualcomm driver. I really think that's where the huge discrepancy between the Evo and iPhone 4s quality is at. They have the SAME camera for **** sake. But the iPhone is using the correct driver whereas three Evo is using ****. I'm gonna reach out to Omnivision and see if I can get the correct driver. It's a shot in the dark but worth a try.

Edit: I just downloaded Catlog logcat app

Edit 2: I have someone disputing the idea that Qualcomm even has its own camera driver. He said just because its calling out to Qualcomm API doesn't mean its running a Qualcomm driver. Is there any way to confirm that there is a Qualcomm camera driver?

I can take some screen shots if you like. Anything specific?

Sprint TV Issues

Hi V

Love the Kings BFS9 Kernel program, thanks. I do have a problem with Sprint TV. After launching it I get a notice that "this program only works with Sprint service"... I reloaded program several times but same problem each time..Any suggestions? Thanks again
[EVO 4G Android Development] vaelek:
Have you installed the updated version from here? Along with the sprint_updater_app? And I have to ask, do you have Sprint? Haven't heard of anyone getting that error before, but I myself do have Sprint.
[EVO 4G Android Development] werkem:
Found a bug.

If you use asop dialer and from your call log select a person then hit send message, you get a fc after you press send. I an also using asop mms.

Any word on sending mms with asop a fix it trick?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Wazzy:
Vael.. when I try and flash over my current 2.1 install (cause setcpu can't get SU permissions) I get an error on a copy files command. It is the second copy of files and the error reads "E:Failure at line 428: copy_dir PACKAGE:data DATA:'

Any ideas??
[EVO 4G Android Development] jahnile:
Just tested this out and I did not get any FC... Did exactly what you said to see if I can duplicate the issue but I was able to send it without any issue...
[EVO 4G Android Development] bigmoogle:
I got this error too! I checked the md5. I ended up using Amon recovery 1.8, wiping everything (dalvik-cache twice because I read that could be the issue) and then flashing 2.1 over 2.0. That worked.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ginjeet:
Couldn't replicate either.

Battery Dying and Sensor Usage

In spare parts, under battery history, sensor usage. It's saying Android System is using some sensor 100% of the time. I've completely wiped everything and reinstalled, but I'm still having the same problem. In the android battery manager, it's saying Android system is using >80%. I haven't had this problem until I updated to 2.1. 1.3a was working flawlessly. Any ideas?
[EVO 4G Android Development] vaelek:
Possible issue with BFS9. Try wiping your cache's. Is your phone sluggish at all?
[EVO 4G Android Development] b0ricua:
Vaelek, apologize if this had already been covered but do you know where I can find that font changer apk?

Swyped from my Evo 4G
[EVO 4G Android Development] vaelek:
If you have 2.1 you should have it already. If not, first you'll need to flash this

http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=396327&d=1283807363

And the apk can be found here

http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=396328&d=1283807363
[EVO 4G Android Development] jahnile:
Also if you are running 2.1 it can be located in /system/sd/app/fontchanger
[EVO 4G Android Development] vaelek:
If you are not using apps2sd it would be in /data/app instead, FYI.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Wazzy:
I'm flashing 2.1 over 2.1, mainly because SetCPU can't get SU permissions for some odd reason. I have other apps that get SU just fine.
[EVO 4G Android Development] hammysink:
I've been running this since first rooting the EVO last night. Everything looks great so far, and battery life is stellar (SetCPU underclocking when sleeping helps I'm sure). Benchmarks are similar to as tested on that spreadsheet.

Thanks for doing this, so far this is my main ROM.
[EVO 4G Android Development] engagedtosmile:
Anyway to have the hosts file not be changed to block ads?
[EVO 4G Android Development] :
No i do not. I just use the app.
[EVO 4G Android Development] vaelek:
Sync problem SOLVED

Doing some testing here and it looks like the HTC Facebook account sync is tied into Friendstream. After installing it from /vaelpak-extras/stockapks the sync behavior went back to how it should be. Only the app is needed, not the widget.

Will look into way around this for future releases. For now, just install the friendstream app, if you don't use it, it won't affect battery, you don't even have to set it up, it just has to be there...
[EVO 4G Android Development] Skitzi:
Found a few issues with the calendar and email apps.

The email app (not google mail) is HTC but the calendar app is AOSP. These do not talk with each other so exchange data does not appear to be showing up on there.

When you open the installed calendar app and click menu - calendars it force closes. I found that the issue here is the AOSP calendar is installed by the HTC CalendarProvider is installed.

Edit:

I installed the calendar app from the files the rom puts on the SD card and every thing was good (HTC Sense mail and calendar). Calendar was updating and I could do GAL lookups (HTC people app uses HTC mail exchange support to do GAL lookups. I have not found an AOSP way to do that yet)
[EVO 4G Android Development] ZeeMox:
YAY! Finally an optimized 2.2 ROM that doesn't rape vital features! SO installing this.
[EVO 4G Android Development] needoZ:
Did you try flashing the AOSP Email.apk?
[EVO 4G Android Development] randymac88:
Vaelek - hey friend, thanks for the great work on the ROM. This is just what i've been looking for. A tip/ought to know (if you don't already), of course take it or leave it:

I've been using the AOSP keyboard and it rocks...much easier than the stock HTC version. In the spirit of being as Sense-less as possible, you might want to include this in your ROM. Just a thought. Here's a link to download:

http://www.mediafire.com/?rimbp603c4ibjxi

Also, any idea if you could include some sort of mod for the notification bar, to bring in original AOSP notification/signal/data icons, clock, battery, etc.? That might make this even more AOSP-like.

Enjoying this ROM along with Hero_Over's Baked Snack Kernel #1 (the new one with the HAVS implementation) and I'm getting totally awesome performance and battery life. Thanks again for your hard work!
[EVO 4G Android Development] ZeeMox:
Damn... Can't seem to ever finish the download for some reason. Is the latest version hosted anywhere besides dropbox?
[EVO 4G Android Development] vaelek:
I hadn't thought of the keyboard, I will definitely get that added in. I can't stand the HTC keyboard, but I include swype on the sd that can be installed if you didn't notice that also.

I do plan to grab the AOSP notification graphics also.

Keep the suggestions comming! Everyone! I'm taking it one step at a time to avoid making too many changes at once and introducing bugs that are difficult to narrow down, but pretty much everything that's been asked for will be happening.
[EVO 4G Android Development] slacker76:
amazing rom!

I like this Rom very much so far. Just wondering if there's a way to to go back to the stock browser? Thanks in advance for any help.
[EVO 4G Android Development] bigant262:
Sense browser?
[EVO 4G Android Development] vaelek:
If you really want the HTC browser, you can install it from /sdcard/vaelpak-extras/replaced, it will replace the AOSP one.

Edit: If anyone does this, I do not supply the AOSP browser apk, so if you think you might want to go back, back it up first, as I said this will replace the browser app.
[EVO 4G Android Development] habitual_line_stepper:
Awesome rom!
[EVO 4G Android Development] vaelek:
Working on it...
[EVO 4G Android Development] secfincorp:
just a quick update

Still think this ROM is awesome. Nice work. This might be old news but 4g has worked in all of my trials here in Northern VA, Loudoun and Fairfax County.

And the fix for the sync issue works great.

I cant seem to get some widgets to work, the HTC Stock widget and FriendStream, they actually dont show up in the widget menu I have installed uninstalled and reinstalled and still nothing.
[EVO 4G Android Development] slacker76:
browser

My bad, yes the sense browser. I don't my this browser but it seems not have a sketchy scroll in landscape. I also like how the task bar goes away with the sense browser. It's not much but gives you a little more screen for watching videos.
[EVO 4G Android Development] vaelek:
Thanks! and yep, 4G is confirmed to be working.

I should probably remove those from the extras folder, the HTC widgets will only work if you are using the Sense home app, which basically defeats the purpose of this rom. I know this is the case at least with the home apps in the rom, there may be others out there that do support sense widgets, but like I said, the purpose of this is to remove as much sense as possible so I can't say if or how well they will work even if you did find a home app that can display them.
[EVO 4G Android Development] slacker76:
browser

The sense browser doesn't seem to be on the SD card. It gives me the option to uninstall the stock browser but says it can't uninstall. No big deal though, I can sacrifice.
[EVO 4G Android Development] needoZ:
Nevermind. Re-read the second post and saw this was already addressed.

So... when is the next build? :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] Beastn:
what radio and wimax are you using? I haven't been able to use 4G here for a few weeks now.
[EVO 4G Android Development] vaelek:
Here is a mirror
[EVO 4G Android Development] vaelek:
Working on a settings app for stuff like this. For the moment, if you look in /system/etc there is a hosts, and hosts~. Replace hosts with hosts~ and it will remove the ad blocking.
[EVO 4G Android Development] b0ricua:
May I ask what the first item is that needs to be flashed prior to the installation of the APK?

Thanks
[EVO 4G Android Development] bigmoogle:
Ah. I understand. FWIW, I uninstalled SetCPU because it was FC'ing on me.
[EVO 4G Android Development] JerzyIroc:
Vaelek.. Just found out something interesting. Maybe you can make sense of it... I just flashed the most recent htc kernel that you posted a few pages ago. HDMI freezes instantly. I dont think the rom is the issue I think there's something up with the kernels. Video works fine with Kings BFS9, but on any htc kernel it freezes. That's why the phone froze on all those stock Sense roms. Could the fps removal have something to do with it? I've heard about something called stagefright being tossed around when talking about kernels. Could that be a part of it? I was looking at the logcat and I did briefly see stagefright somewhere in the logcat when the hdmi was plugged. I'm gonna instal Kings bfs8 back in. See if it works then. After that I'm gonna try and get a few snapshots of logcat when hdmi is plugged. Oo, and right after its plugged, I do see an error that has something to do with audio. I'll post the snapshots in a few minutes.
[EVO 4G Android Development] vaelek:
It moves fonts to /data/local/fonts and sets up a symlink to it

Along with the sprint_updater_app? And I have to ask, do you have Sprint? Haven't heard of anyone getting that error before, but I myself do have Sprint.[/QUOTE]

V- Your the best, (yes I have Sprint)it worked..thanks. Any way I can get the sprint people widget (the one where you scroll vertically with people faces on it.. I will also donate..Thanks you

Excellent :)

I'm pretty sure LP has a similar contacts widget. The htc one can't work here without sense ui.
[EVO 4G Android Development] vaelek:
Preview of things to come soon...

Edit: This will be able to be used on any rom.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jerrygon:
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE... RELEASE TONIGHT!!! lol...
[EVO 4G Android Development] JerzyIroc:
Ok Vael, tell me if you can make sense out of this... If you notice, it shows the hdmi audio is being told you go to output, but RIGHT before the video is played, you see an audio hardware error..

Btw, these are screen shots of right when I plug it in, when I try to play a video, go to log cat, then go back to the video and try to play it again...
[EVO 4G Android Development] alwa7dawi:
I have couple apps on my phone that I don't know what do they do?

1- Superuser

2- Terminal Emulator (When I try to run this app, I got this message "Process jackpal.androidterm has stopped unexpecetdly. Please try again." -Force close-)

3- adbWireless

4- SwiFTP

What is the Hi-Res?

Thank you :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] vaelek:
Can you do that once more and export the log, attach? Those images make my brain hurt lol. Awesome app find though :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] vaelek:
Superuser - Grants apps root privilege - when you see the prompt, it is Superuser that is doing it.

Terminal Emulator - People not updating from 2.0 have reported this crashes when run. Uninstall / reinstall from market to fix. It is included as a substitute for those needing to perform workarounds who do not have a working adb

adbWireless - Allows you to connect to your phone via adb over wifi instead of usb

SwiFTP - ftp server

Hi-Res - This is in the vaelpak-extras/patches folder as a flashable zip (and undo). Flashing it will put your phone into a higher resolution. An app is coming shortly so flashing will no longer be necessary.

All except Superuser are uninstallable if you do not use / want them.
[EVO 4G Android Development] JerzyIroc:
Lmao ok. I'll try and do it again.. The app is called CatLog. There's also an app called LogCat widget which is pretty cool to see things on the fly. But CatLog is much better.. I'm gonna try and do it again.

Btw, this is what I see when I open the camcorder app... Why the bloody **** does it say QualcommCameraHardware when it's an Omnivision camera??? Is that what that one guy meant when he said he say API calls to a Qualcomm camera driver instead of an Omnivision driver??
[EVO 4G Android Development] JerzyIroc:
Here's the log cat. It saves it as a .tx file.

If you have the catlog app you can just drop the file into the catlog folder on your sd and open it in the app
[EVO 4G Android Development] vaelek:
Assuming no strange issues, this will most likely be coming out tonight.. Have it 90% completed.

Now is the time to start tossing out requests for things you (anyone) know you might want in a settings app.
[EVO 4G Android Development] bigant262:
Customizable notification bar, and change the clock color and battery percent/color. Like in CM.
[EVO 4G Android Development] adma84:
Adjustable battery percentages manager would be great
[EVO 4G Android Development] MSmith1:
Black transparent notification shade!
[EVO 4G Android Development] werkem:
Odd I had that fc all this morning and now I can't repeat it

- go figure
[EVO 4G Android Development] alwa7dawi:
Sometime apps request superuser access, shoud I just press allow and remember?

I noticed a lag when I played a video-trailer (720 HD .mp4) I downloaded from apple website. I played the same video on the galaxy S, the video runs much smoother than my Evo with no lag.

Do you have any idea what causes this lag?

The video size is 97 mb, it's lenght is 2 min and 31 seconds.
[EVO 4G Android Development] vaelek:
Most apps will say when they need root in their market descriptions. If you're not sure, it's always best to deny (without remember checked) and if the app fails to do what it's supposed to, then it needs root. File managers are an example, Rom manager also requires it. You can always post if you're not sure too about one and I'm sure someone will know something about it.

The EVO isn't so good at playing HD video. If you record an HD video, it will almost always play choppy on your phone, while it will be fine on a PC. You could try jacking up the CPU a bit in SetCPU. If you're not using my profile I wouldn't recommend going over 1152 or you risk locking up.
[EVO 4G Android Development] alwa7dawi:
I'm not sure what you mean by "if you are not using my profile".

Where can I find it and how can I set it up?

I reduced my setcpu from 1228 to 1113max and 1075min.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ginjeet:
I'd personally love a better looking power control widget. The one Jairomeo placed in his Flavored Ice theme is slick. Trivial, yes. But the green one now is a sore thumb, and this rom runs too well to fart around with themes and what not. Looks good as is, but a more 3d widget would rock. Thanks.
[EVO 4G Android Development] twoeleven99:
what themes can be flashed over this rom ?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Igotsanevo4g:
Had to go back to 2.0 :'( , flashed 2.1 over it without wiping and it was laggy as hell, screen tearing, and it was just a mess. Any suggestions?

Thanks for a AWESOME Rom, battery life is rediculous. 20 hours on a charge with moderate use is not supposed to happen! Haha
[EVO 4G Android Development] bigant262:
Could be kernel maybe. I'd say try it again, if it still does it, nand backup and wipe everything and flash.
[EVO 4G Android Development] vaelek:
In most cases it isn't necessary, but you may want to try wiping the caches to fix the lag.
[EVO 4G Android Development] lowspeed:
Is it safe to clear the cache whenever you want ?
[EVO 4G Android Development] bigant262:
Yes, only thing I wouldn't wipe is data, unless you want to start fresh. But usually just wipe cache and dalvik cache, and you'll be fine.
[EVO 4G Android Development] JerzyIroc:
Vaelek, you get a chance to look at the logcat?
[EVO 4G Android Development] twoeleven99:
what he said
[EVO 4G Android Development] gotshores:
Can't install

I did full wipes. Using RA recovery, flashed this ROM and it said something about can't install-bad. Anybody else run into this?
[EVO 4G Android Development] bigant262:
Are you using 1.8 Amon? If not, update. Or it could just be a bad zip, feel free to send me a PM and I will help.
[EVO 4G Android Development] gotshores:
ya, using 1.8. it says

can't open /sdcard/vaelpak-v2.1-bfs9-signed.zip(bad)
[EVO 4G Android Development] bigant262:
Might just be a bad zip, download again and try again.
[EVO 4G Android Development] gotshores:
downloading the one from multiupload, we'll see if it's a go. thanks again for the help
[EVO 4G Android Development] gotshores:
it has to be a bad zip on the other link, it's only 50kb and downloaded in a snap. thanks
[EVO 4G Android Development] bigant262:
Which download link? And no problem.
[EVO 4G Android Development] gotshores:
on the main page where he list the download link. if you click on rapidshare, it's a messed up zip. multiupload was good though, i'm' flashing it now. thanks again
[EVO 4G Android Development] bigant262:
No problem, if you have any other questions or having problems, feel free to send PM, as to anyone else also.
[EVO 4G Android Development] adma84:
I am sure that this is going to have been covered elsewhere, but how do I make the AOSP browser go into landscape mode without having ADW launcher rotate everything

Res Changer is here!

Ok guys... Here is my first fully working officially released Android application :cool:

You can use this to switch between standard and hi-res, the same settings used in the flash patches, except this will work on ANY rom.

EDIT: New version just uploaded that has a real icon :)

Enjoy!
[EVO 4G Android Development] vaelek:
Not yet, was fighting with the res changer to get that done tonight.
[EVO 4G Android Development] slacker76:
yahoo mail

I love this rom but cant get my yahoo mail to work. Any advise besides using a yahoo mail app?
[EVO 4G Android Development] JerzyIroc:
That's what I figured. It's cool, totally understandable. Speaking of the res changer, you have to be rooted to use it right? Would you mind if I posted the apk on AndroidCentral? Giving you full credit of course (as well as a full disclaimer lol).
[EVO 4G Android Development] JerzyIroc:
Hi-res works perfect. I've switched back and forth about 10 times. Works great. Awesome job Vaelek
[EVO 4G Android Development] vaelek:
Yes you will have to be rooted to use it. I will post a proper [APP] thread for it here soon. I am in the process of getting it up to the Market. I haven't decided yet if it will be free there, I think I may try 0.99 and see what happens. It will remain free for XDA members though, so for right now if you would post a link back to the post here instead that would be great.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Dan_:
Excellent rom Vael, thank you.
[EVO 4G Android Development] JerzyIroc:
Awesome. I'll post a link to here.

Edit: I'll wait until you have it up on the market. Last thing I want is for people to get a hold of the apk and start dishing it out just in case you make it a paid app (which I think it's well worth it). Once it's in the market I'll make a post with a QR to send them right to the market
[EVO 4G Android Development] vaelek:

[EVO 4G Android Development] webby_s:
Hey Vaelek, I know you are sick of hearing from me since I have been the one posting most about those nasty reboots.

Well one more post, but this is good one!!! I think I have a stable 2.1 on my EVO!!!! Seriously, I have been running it now for about an hour and I am good so far. No reboots, FC's, hang-ups and what not's.

My procedure to get a solid working VaelPak ROM: (this is using Amon Recovery)

-While on 2.0b4 BFS#8 (stable) I didn't wipe factory settings but everything else (cache/delvik)

-Flashed 2.0 without BFS (w/ the stock HTC Kernal)

-Seemed to be stable (left it at 2.0 for about 4 hours)

-Made two Nandroid backups (one in CW and one in Amon recoveries)

-Did not wipe factory settings, just Cache/delvik (in Amon)

-Flashed 2.1 (in Amon)

-Flashed latest HTC Kernal you singed and ziped a few pages back

-Flashed the battery framework mod for circle %

-Rebooted

Like I said, I think I now have a stable 2.1 with the latest HTC kernal!!!! You can stop hearing from me about reboots. I told you I am bound and determined to get to the bottom of things ;)

Next:

-Backup (Nandroid) current build

-Try either BFS's #7, #8, or #9

Why, you ask? To see if it was a hardware issue with the BFS's kernal (because now with HTC's build I'm stable) or just me. :D
[EVO 4G Android Development] JerzyIroc:
Weerrrrrdddd. Posting it now on AndroidCentral. Hopefully it takes off!! I'll see if they can put it on the front page. Quick question, this should work on CM roms right?
[EVO 4G Android Development] vaelek:
You are one seriously dedicated mofo lol :cool: I'm glad to hear you finally got it up and running!
[EVO 4G Android Development] vaelek:
I haven't tried it (anyone in a position to quick?), but theoretically it should work on any rom.

Edit: If anyone wants to see a comparison, I have a few screen shots up here
[EVO 4G Android Development] bigant262:
Here some screen shots I took.
