Going to need more details than that. I just installed, launched, played, no problem.

From the market comments, I turned off wifi and it didn't do much of anything. Turn on wifi and try again, even if you are not near wireless.

New to rooting and roms and all this shenanigans

Few questions with this ROM

Copy and paste is not working at all for me

Any help there?

Also, am I able to get the stock HTC Mail app?

If so, where?

Thanks!

audio streaming problems

Running latest version of the Rom and having problems with my audio streaming apps (stitcher, listen, radiotime) that I had never had before on other Roms. Apps will not reliably connect or stream the audio.

Any ideas on what the problem may be or how I can fix?

thanks!

Well the app opens up just fine...when I select a station or won't bufferand play. That's trying to use 3g and 4g. Using wifi it works perfect.

General Question

Hello Vaelek,

I have read a number of your post regarding your fine work, in one of those post you mentioned version 2.2 would be out soon. I would like to know if you have an ETA on that release? Also i am curious in your experience which kernel works best to get the most battery life? Also is the HTC keyboard included with your ROM or as an add on in extras. I like the .com key when using the internet. Lastly I believe I read that the phone dialer is AOSP, is that correct? I assume that AOSP is what is included with CM6.

Thanks for your time in advance

Tom
[EVO 4G Android Development] kudosmog:
I'm not Vaelek, but allow me to post my observations :)

The best battery life I've gotten was with KingsKernal 8 (BFS).

Others say they get better battery life with with CFS kernel, or with different kernels alltogether but my personal experience is Kings8 BFS. I wouldn't suggest kings 9 for sure, as I received a lot of weird issues when I had it (lag, bad battery life etc).

The HTC keyboard is included and I'm pretty sure it's not an addon because I would never have installed it, if it wasn't a default option.

Phone dialer is AOSP, same as the one from CM6 as far as I can tell.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ginjeet:
Tried cfs 7 yesterday for grins. Randomly, various applications would close and return me to the home screen. Back to bfs 8, no issues. So I agree with this for what my opinion is worth.

Tap-a-talk made me do it, I swear.
[EVO 4G Android Development] vaelek:
This is not a rom issue, the market comments say it does not work unless wifi is on.

Pretty much agree with what kudosmog said.

I've been working on a lot of little things and don't have an actual ETA for 2.2 but there is a good chance it will happen by this weekend. 2.1 has been pretty stable so far. Just an FYI, if you use the swype keyboard, it understands .com, .net, etc if you swype it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] vaelek:

Stock Browser

OK, I never re-installed the stock browser after flashing this, then I flashed ot a different ROM. Stock browser FC on everytime upon opening and will not uninstall so I can reinstall it. Could that be the reason? Do I have to flash back , install, then install the ROM I was on
[EVO 4G Android Development] vaelek:
If you are using apps2sd and did not wipe sdext that is likely the issue. Try going to settings > apps > manage apps > Browser and wipe the data for it. (Or Internet if you have the HTC now)

If you want to delete it and try re-installing, you can uninstall with Titanium backup
[EVO 4G Android Development] Seraphemz:
Hey Vaelpak,

Is it ok to update if I have your ROM isntalled or should I jsut wait till 2.2 comes out?

im pretty new to this rooting thing so im kind of lost as to what to do.

thanks.
[EVO 4G Android Development] EVOsean:
I couldnt uninstall through anything, but then I did settings > apps > manage apps > Browser and then wiped the data. Guess what...it worked. I just wanted my bookmarks widget to work. Thanks man
[EVO 4G Android Development] kudosmog:
You could just wait. The updates aren't super important.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Seraphemz:
Cool.. ill wait then. My FPS are good already and im overclocked ... i dont want to mess that up.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jahnile:
If you are fully rooted and running a custom Kernel then you already have your FPS unlock, to test you can download fps2d from the market and see what you are getting for your fps. It's just an official update.
[EVO 4G Android Development] midnightmaraude:
What are you guys getting for fps. Im only getting 53.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jahnile:
53 fps is about correct with the latest OTA. Am getting 55 fps without the latest OTA.
[EVO 4G Android Development] PhilR8:
So I've been experiencing strange periods of lag, sometimes so extreme that I have to pull out the battery. I read somewhere else that BFS 8 kernel is better than 9? I'm giving a shot. Any other thoughts?

This is without the ota update and using 2.1 bfs8 kernal
[EVO 4G Android Development] bigant262:
Kernels vary from user to user. No one can really tell you which one to run or anything. I'd recommend trying all different kinds of kernels. Read up on differences of kernels and see which one you would like more. Hope I helped somewhat.

[EVO 4G Android Development] Kerflop:
Using 2.1 with Kings #9 and not having any problems yet. Just flashed, for the first time, earlier this week and I am loving it... However, I am not seeing much battery improvement. Not over / underclocking yet... Wanted to see how it would change the battery life under standard use.

kings bfs 9 caused the lag of death problem for me, went back to bfs 8 and have not experienced it since then..

Can't wait until Vael updates the base and everything to newest OTA. And the new HTC Kernel is awesome.

I'm hoping to get 2.2 up this weekend with the new OTA. Started on it last night..

Will 2.2 have the customization in it? That's what I'm really looking forward to. Clear task bar, colored theme, batt circle mod... I can see it now. Can't wait!
[EVO 4G Android Development] Novarider:
Since this was lost in the restore I'll post it again.

Vael would it be possible to use this theme on 2.1 or 2.2 when it comes out? If it can't be flashed over can you incorporate it into your rom and make a separate flashable version(if its not to much trouble)? I would LOVE to have this theme with your rom.

Nvm that seems to be a sense theme

What else was lost in the restore? Anything important?
[EVO 4G Android Development] vaelek:
2.2 is live! Still updating post 1.. head to the forums in my sig to grab it!

Is there any possibility of getting the correct Bluetooth protocols in place to be able to use applications such as Wiimote Controller for emulation purposes? I just installed this ROM coming from CM6 and am fairly pleased. I'm just trying to find a ROM that allows both 4G and Wiimote use all in the same package. If anyone knows of something, please send me a PM.
[EVO 4G Android Development] bigant262:
He's going to be looking into it, but as of right now, no "sense" bases roms allow it. Only AOSP roms allow it.

But why?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Cubfan99:
Working great for me. However, search on aosp contacts still isn't working. And I would like to go to stock mail, but the have somehow changed Titanium Backup, as a long press on an app no longer gives an uninstall option for the installed email app and I can't install stock mail.apk until I uninstall.

I'm having trouble getting swipe to work. I have it installed and the box for swip is checked but when I long press on the input field and choose swype as input method......pressing on the input field to bring up the keyboard does nothing. Anyone else have this issue?
[EVO 4G Android Development] vaelek:
What happens exactly? When you are in the Market, after you tap install, go back to the app details, there is usually an actual error that pops up from that screen that does not from anywhere else.
[EVO 4G Android Development] vaelek:
Uninstall has always been on the tap menu, not long press afaik.

Ya I know search is still broken in AOSP contacts, still working on that one...

I have not run into this at all. I have purposely removed mention of it from post 1 here in light of a post I saw yesterday basically stating XDA got a C&D order from the company that makes it. Sounds like they have an OEM deal and since it's not officially available any other way, I will not discuss it here as I don't want to piss off the mods. Any problems with that app, take the discussion to the official forum.
[EVO 4G Android Development] YafaKlan:
well at first it refused to download. it jsut hangs on the beginning of the download. a reboot here and a reboot there. then i tried to download FACEBOOK again and then it would get to 100% and then just hang up there.

then i'd cancel the download. and a reboot here and a reboot there. and its going the 100% and just hanging.

I think i'm gonna try to reinstall the ROM
[EVO 4G Android Development] runner77:
If you made it to 100%, then go to your 'download' folder using an sd file explorer and you should see the facebook.apk. Click it and it should install.
[EVO 4G Android Development] vaelek:
Try this... settings > applications > manage applications > all > market > clear data

Then try again. The Market does get flakey at times I've noticed though, so it may have nothing to do with the rom. It's exactly the same as what's packaged in, but some people have made it go away by flashing the market fix from post 2 also.
[EVO 4G Android Development] fast2049:
Hey I was wondering if there was a way to force apps to sd with this rom? Much help appreciated :D

If your sdcard is partitioned, apps will automatically install to it. If it is not, all you can do is the built in move-to-sd from settings > applications > manage applications, which not all apps support.

After the initial boot into 2.2 (I performed a complete data and cache wipe), I attempted to get HTC's mail app back on my phone so that I could set up my work email. But each time I clicked on the mail.apk in Vaelpak-extras/replaced folder I got an "application not installed" error. I tried uninstalling the asop mail app in TB and rebooted but I still can't get it to install.

Do you think it could be a bad .apk? Do I need to delete something else in my system/app/ folder?

I've never had trouble getting it back on my phone on the previous versions.

[EVO 4G Android Development] jutaejrtouch:
OMG!

My first HTC phone was a touch pro, then I got a touch pro 2 and finally my evo. I am soooo use to HTC Sense that I thought I would never run without...until I loaded this rom! With a few addons, I can hardly tell I'm not running sense and I have more memory available. Great job dude! You and your rom rock!
[EVO 4G Android Development] Vivix729:
Decided to try this out. AOSP Dialer looks REALLY blurry (it's crystal clear in CM6), and the AOSP browser has some weird address bar rendering where the bookmark icon overlaps the URL bar, and looks out of place.

Other than that, pretty good.

i actually prefer the HTC browser, it doesnt have the address bar rendering issue, its located in \vaelpak\extras

I am unable to add a Facebook account in order to sync contacts.

When I go to Settings, Accounts and try to Add it highlights Facebook in green but won't go to the next screen.

Any ideas?
[EVO 4G Android Development] vaelek:
Just added my FB account with no problems at all... Did you install 2.2 fresh or update from 2.1? Have you removed anything? Such as Friendstream?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Scotty_T:
Thanks for the support!

I must have jacked with something. I went ahead and wiped and started fresh and was able to add the Facebook account successfully.

I think the issue is I didn't realize I was supposed to use the "Facebook for HTC Sense".

Love this ROM!
[EVO 4G Android Development] vaelek:
Yes you are correct. The sync in the actual app doesn't work at all. Still looking into that, it doesn't seem unique to this rom
[EVO 4G Android Development] lowspeed:
No Over-clocking in the 2.2 rom kernel ?
[EVO 4G Android Development] vaelek:
Since everyone has different results and preferences for kernels, I am just leaving it with the new stock htc kernel. You can flash any kings kernel over it, or netarchy dc versions.
[EVO 4G Android Development] lowspeed:
Anyone can confirm, that if you delete one occurance of an event on the phone it will not remove it from Google's server?

This is so frustrating.
[EVO 4G Android Development] kingkongsmith:
Been using 2.2 since that morning you put it out... Love it.and I'm loving swype I never tried it before. From what you hear and your knowledge what the best kernal to use. I flashed kings 8 and it playing good but I don't really feel like flashing 9 and 10 and trying to find a difference. What you think ?
[EVO 4G Android Development] lowspeed:
Meaning that if you set an event that repeats say every week.

And then delete one that got canceled. IT will delete it from the phone but not from Gcal. so when you check it on the web it's still there.

I tried flashing your ROM last night, it seemed like it flashed right ( I had no errors), however, after reboot it was stuck on the vaelpack splash screen for about 10 minutes. Since it was late and had to go to sleep, I nandroid restored.

Anyways, question is, how long is the splash screen suppose to go on for on first boot?

Coming from CM6, I wiped everything using Amons Recovery newest version.

Two questions not necessarily related to 2.2

When I revert the internet back to the stock HTC browser, it always seems to revert back after rebooting. What am I missing in order to get it to stay the stock browser.

Second, wireless tether does not seem to work in 2.2 I had it working on 2.1 Reinstalling did not seem to correct the problem.

So give the details up front and don't make me post yet again, "what does/doesn't it do". Anyone that doesn't know how to logcat, needs to learn if you are going to be flashing roms, and people need to start posting logs as well. I will be putting up a short how-to on my forum soon for that.

[Vibrant Themes and Apps] hockeyrcks9901:
I'm a fan of Mobile Defense. You can install as a system app and it will be able to survive a wipe. The only way to remove it would be a flash. It won't show up in app manager either. It can remotely activate the GPS and will notify you automatically of a sim card change via email. It can also remotely lock the phone even if you don't normally use a lock pattern. It can also display messages on the screen that won't go away without entering a code. So you can have the screen have a message telling the person to return the phone and the message won't go away until the code is entered.

The only downside is that I think the beta program is closed to new people right now. I'm not sure as I joined a while ago.
