I was looking through logcat while adding the account and when it did the sync, the last facebook related entry was

D/Facebook_login(11477): com.htc.friendstream Not Found

Once I installed it, the problem of the persistent icon and battery sucking went away. Working on something with Skitzi right now that might offer a better solution, as the facebook app adds a sync account as well, that may work as a replacement, and then it's one more sense app gone.
[EVO 4G Android Development] vaelek:
See #184 :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] needoZ:
Nice! Will v1.2 require a full wipe or will we be able to upgrade from 1.1?
[EVO 4G Android Development] coppertop24:
understood. guess ive just been lucky running the htc facebook without friendstream. everything works and dont have sync or battery issues. Im using a stripped version of fresh but i have tried your rom. broke it trying to trim it even further though and just havent had a chance to mess with it some more yet due to work. nice job though, im glad someone is doing "senseless" and it worked well before i broke it.

edit: scratch that. just recalled that i only sync my contacts but not the live feeds. thats probably why it works for me.
[EVO 4G Android Development] vaelek:
Hard to say. I am removing the auto-wipe from it though. I'll probably have time to test that out while waiting for it to upload

Because a lot is changing I will recommend removing the vaelpak-extras folder before flashing though. Not sure how to accomplish that during install yet.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Tilde88:
you only really need to wipe when the base [or big enough portion] is changes

i always do tho... unless im done flashing for awhile... then i just flash over updates
[EVO 4G Android Development] vaelek:
1.2

Copying over the first build of 1.2 for testing. Sorry guys, fell asleep at the keyboard last night...

Edit:

Most things are ok, AOSP keyboard is not working, Facebook fix is not working - Most likely 1.2 will continue to have the friendstream requirement while I iron this one out.

Hoping to have a stable 1.2 posted in the next few hours..
[EVO 4G Android Development] ctyke:
#1, we can always try Kings if we want.

I had OC'n issues with both of their latest kernel's, but they still fly at stock speed. Must quit flashing so I can see how the battery does with them.
[EVO 4G Android Development] :
Is there a way to turn off the Haptic Feedback? Im not seeing it in the settings.
[EVO 4G Android Development] wrxphantom:
patiently waiting for 1.2
[EVO 4G Android Development] vaelek:
It should be under the Keyboard menu, the settings for whichever keyboard you are using.
[EVO 4G Android Development] :
Found it. Thanks :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] Neo3D:
Can you please add battery % to the icon in next release like in cm6? :D
[EVO 4G Android Development] yungwunn911:
will download when 1.2 comes out.

Could you post what radio/4g flashes you are using?
[EVO 4G Android Development] needoZ:
Everyone uses the latest.
[EVO 4G Android Development] vaelek:
Yes I meant to add that to the list thanks for reminding me

There is no radio or wimax included, so whatever you have. I would recommend using the latest.
[EVO 4G Android Development] vaelek:
Status update for those waiting...

Almost everything is ready to go, having a reoccurring fc with htc.bgp that I have to fix and then it should be go time. Thanks for being patient!
[EVO 4G Android Development] Brutal-Force:
I believe asop. It's the green and white one. I cut and pasted address info from one contact to another, then I hit save and it force closes with error.

Sorry!

The process android.process.acore has stopped unexpectedly.

Please try again.

Force Close

It does save, but it pops up that error.
[EVO 4G Android Development] vaelek:
Hmm... AOSP is the one with the green/white icon yes, odd thing is the log keeps referring to HTCContacts. I just did exactly what you said you did and I did not get a FC or any other error.

Have you removed anything, applied any themes, restored any data, or done any other tweaks that you can think of? I have seen at least 1 other person have a problem like this, but I have never been able to reproduce it.. :confused:
[EVO 4G Android Development] Brutal-Force:
Yes, I did a Titanium Restore. That may have been the culprit. It restored from my Fresh Rom. I guess I can try to do a re flash and overwrite, otherwise a wipe/reflash.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Brutal-Force:
Re flashed. That fixed it.

Sent from my favorite toy.
[EVO 4G Android Development] elapshtc:
I noticed google nav was missing too. Not sure how but after a couple of reboots I noticed it magically reappeared.

The only thing I did was install mobile defense as a service in amon recovery.
[EVO 4G Android Development] josh6780:
I reflashed twice and nothing. Google maps is gone, Nav is gone and I cannot download google maps in the market and when I cancel the download is force closes.
[EVO 4G Android Development] elapshtc:
Did you do a full wipe? I came from 2.1 with no wipe. I have nav and maps, and I just updated maps on market. I suspect there was something wrong with your 2.1 install to begin with.

Also I didn't use titanium backup, that program seems to add odd problems at times.
[EVO 4G Android Development] andrewluccio:
Titanium backup keeps force closing when I go to delete apps like App Sharing, XDA, etc. Clicked ''problems" and did all that. Any ideas?

ALSO, on that note, what files are safe to delete using titianium backup/other programs? I know there are other threads about this, but since this is a sense/AOSP hybrid, I didn't know if certain apks would be safe to delete from Vaelpak that wouldn't be ok to delete from a purely Sense ROM. A comprehensive list would be awesome.

Love the ROM, vaelpak is sweet.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Richard_Danger:
I am having the same problem with the internet browser reverting back to the aosp browser after I reboot my phone. How do I get the browser to stay as the HTC browser after I reboot? Do I have to uninstall the aosp browser, then install the HTC browser?

PS. This ROM is awesome! I am still wrapping my head around the amount of customization I can do with it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] GRRemlin:
Not trying to be rude, but have you guys tried the "Search this thread" function? This issue has been discussed a dosen of times in this thread.
[EVO 4G Android Development] wrxphantom:
Wireless tether is not working I tried uninstall and the installed it again no luck. Worked fine on 2.1. I did a wipe and davlik wipe as well. Flashed new 2.2 and wireless tether isn't working. Please help
[EVO 4G Android Development] vaelek:
Everyone with an unanswered question, click the rom link in my sig, read the faq, and repost if you still have problems.
[EVO 4G Android Development] xxbabiboi228xx:
@vaelek

Like the Avatar your using kinda reminds me of the old professional Wrestler Sting
[EVO 4G Android Development] Richard_Danger:
Still new to everything. I will use the search thread function FIRST from now on. I found my answer after a couple couple minutes of searching.
[EVO 4G Android Development] wrxphantom:
Tried that no fix for wireless tether ..

Anyone get it to work?

Sent from my EVO 4G
[EVO 4G Android Development] atypical1:
It works fine for me. I've used it with two different laptops with both 3G and 4G with no problems.

I would also try the new forum as you will probably get a solution quicker there.
[EVO 4G Android Development] vaelek:
Well that's not what I was going for lol.. It is the crow.
[EVO 4G Android Development] vaelek:
Xda & app sharing are not system apps, should be able to remove them the normal way. Never tried using titanium to remove a non system app actually.

Will work on a list. Any specifics you want to know about?
[EVO 4G Android Development] GRRemlin:
AWESOME!!!

Hey, where exactly in B-more are you?
[EVO 4G Android Development] vaelek:
I too am now noticing that I can connect to it, but am not able to get out to the internet via wireless tether... I know some have been able to..

To everyone that it is working for, are you on a fresh 2.2 install or did you update from 2.1 with no wipe?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Cubfan99:
Hmm, now when I flash, I'm stuck after updating BusyBox in Titanium Backup... it gets stuck when I restart the app in a "Searching application data" that goes on forever. Trying to wipe and install again to see if it fixes things.

Edit: Didn't work. Going back to stock since I can't restore my apps.
[EVO 4G Android Development] japclev:
First time user/liker of this ROM. I really like the way apps horizontal scroll. I am trying to use the widgets in the Extra folder and get install errors. I tried fixing permissions with ROM Manager and get errors. Is there anything I can do to fix this one or both? I did read some posts where htc widgets couldn't be used. Is this the case here?

Thanks in advance, JP.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Novarider:
My wireless tether will connect to my computer but the internet doesn't work. I did a fresh install and restored apps with titanium backup. I uninstalled wireless tether and installed the one in the extras.
[EVO 4G Android Development] vaelek:
HTC widgets can only be used with the sense ui. It may or may not work as is I have not tested it. But you would have to install Rosie.apk (sense home) and then the widgets. But given how things are going, I'm guessing there will be signature problems there...
[EVO 4G Android Development] vaelek:
Wireless Tether on VP 2.2

Need as many answers to this as possible (or at least until a trend is found)

1. Is it working for you?

2. What kernel are you using? (I'm expecting everyone who answers no above to answer HTC#11 here if my hunch is right, unless the answer below is updated)

3. Did you update from 2.1 or flash 2.2 after wiping
[EVO 4G Android Development] wrxphantom:
1 = No

2 = HTC #11 (whatever comes with rom) should we try kings new kernal)

3 = Wiped everything then flashed a fresh 2.2
[EVO 4G Android Development] Novarider:
1) No

2) netarchy-toastmod-4.1.9.1-havs

3) I did a fresh install of 2.2 and restored my apps with titanium backup
[EVO 4G Android Development] japclev:
Thanks I like it enough to bypass...great rom.
[EVO 4G Android Development] atypical1:
1. Yes

2. HTC 11

3. I did a wipe
[EVO 4G Android Development] agreen1985:
I'm fairly new to flashing roms, last time I upgraded (from 2.0 to 2.1) I didn't do a wipe. After flashing the rom wasn't working properly. What is the method to upgrade without losing any of my apps and data?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Skitzi:
1. No

2. Netarchy stable cfs

3. Wipe x2 then flash.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Cubfan99:
I got Titanium to work. Had to install an update of Titanium from the market first.
[EVO 4G Android Development] vaelek:
Have you changed kernels at all or been on HTC 11 the whole time since flashing?

You are using the wireless tether from the extras folder?
[EVO 4G Android Development] onlysafonne:
This rom was perfect,i would have stayed with it but every wireless tether app i ran didnt work,gave me connection problems on my laptop,i flashed different rom installed wireless tether again and all was fine,i tried this rom 4 or 5 times anad still no luck with tether.not sure why,would definatley go back to this rom if i can fix that issue in particular,if you want i can flash back to this rom(9/27) and read the log...but everything else is flawless,well...except for the hi res and tring to play game full screen....but everything else is flawless nice F****** job man.:D

Edit:If i would have went back a page i would have seen not just me with issue,sorry,ill keep reading for a fix...
[EVO 4G Android Development] moshed:
1. It's working very well, stable. Wireless tether is working fine.

2. netarchy-toastmod-4.1.9.1-CFS - DC version

3. Complete wipe, cache and dalvik. Flashed clean 2.2.
[EVO 4G Android Development] wrxphantom:
i just tried again.

did a full wipe. davlik etc..

installed a fresh 2.2 version with kernal #11

connects to wifi but no internet.

damn luck i have...
[EVO 4G Android Development] atypical1:
I've been using 11 from the start. I am not using the wireless tether from the extras folder.
[EVO 4G Android Development] vaelek:
which one are you using?
[EVO 4G Android Development] elapshtc:
He is asking if wireless tether is working not the rom.

First time I read this I also thought he was talking about the 2.2 build
[EVO 4G Android Development] kudosmog:
1. Is wireless tether working for you? No

2. What kernel are you using? HTC#11

3. Did you update from 2.1 or flash 2.2 after wiping: Tried both

EDIT:

full wipe, stock kernel.

Downloaded a terminal emulator and deleted the wireless tether that wasn't showing up with this command:

pm uninstall android.tether

I then installed the apk from the extras folder through Astro file manager.

Wireless tether is working, access control works...confirmed connection through a laptop.

Unfortunately, I have no service in this building so I won't be able to test actual speeds/connection until lunch time.

Edit2: Went to a location with an actual 3g connection and wasn't able to actually open up any webpages with the laptop. All the settings were correct and otherwise the service seemed to be working, but in the end no go.
[EVO 4G Android Development] vaelek:
I found the problem with tethering. The cause of it has me stumped as to how it is actually working for anyone on 2.2, but I will be posting a fix soon.

There is a chance it will come with a small app that will have to be run after connecting to get everything going, but definitely going to get this working for everyone!
[EVO 4G Android Development] wrxphantom:
damn that sounds great. wow. can't wait when do you think it will be available? sometime today?
[EVO 4G Android Development] vaelek:
That is my hope yes.
[EVO 4G Android Development] vijithecrab:
I can't play any of the facebook video's ( youtube video's play's fine ).I tried both Streaming media player and Movies buf none works.Any other player I should try ?

FYI: I did clean flash of 2.2 over 1.3a
[EVO 4G Android Development] vijithecrab:
1. Is it working for you? Yes, I tried 2.0.5 - pre 7 version of wireless tether app.

2. What kernel are you using? (I'm expecting everyone who answers no above to answer HTC#11 here if my hunch is right, unless the answer below is updated) HTC # 11

3. Did you update from 2.1 or flash 2.2 after wiping[/QUOTE] flash 2.2 after wiping.

Small question, when I email the attachment button will only let me choose a picture not file. I can go around it by getting to the file and emailing from there. Is this Rom related?
[EVO 4G Android Development] burkdan21:
The best ROM!!

Man, this is the best ROM out there and I've tried them all. Super smooth and fast with the AOSP elements I like and the 4g I've got to have!

Awesome work. Just donated.
[EVO 4G Android Development] vaelek:
You need to select Astro in the popup in order to add any file

Edit: to attach it, long press the file
[EVO 4G Android Development] wrxphantom:
Any update for wireless tether? Or did I miss it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] vaelek:
Going to make me work huh? lol. I just scrolled through like 100 posts and I don't have any actual FB videos I'm able to test with. I'll have to upload something later and see how it goes.

Anyone else having problems with this? Or not having problems with it?
[EVO 4G Android Development] vaelek:
No updates yet.. working on it as we speak though.
[EVO 4G Android Development] japclev:
Thanks again ...it was a duh moment... when you said Astro i realized I uninstalled it
[EVO 4G Android Development] cushockey66:
Gettin force close on email overtime abashed happened on my last 2 Roms which were virus and cyan. Now I'm using this Rom and I really like. Great work..but would appreciate any help to get my email working again..already did a full wipe any ideas?
[EVO 4G Android Development] vaelek:
Using the one that comes installed or the HTC one?

Can you export a logcat with catlog and attach it? just open it right away after the FC and hit menu > save log. Once in a while they do contain personal information (recent sms messages, phone number, etc). If this is a concern, hit menu > log level, and choose Warn. I have never seen a warn or error message that had anything like that in it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] vaelek:
Wireless Tether fixed

This should fix tethering on ANY rom based on the new OTA with any kernel, that it doesn't work with.

Uninstall any existing version first.

This is my customized version of pre-9
[EVO 4G Android Development] jerrygon:
Vael,

Thanks again for this amazing ROM. I have one HUGE favor I can ask. Is there anyway you can pull the camera/camcorder from the latest nightly of CM6 and incorporate it in you rom? Latest nightly I mean 9/29 and forward. The quality in the pictures/videos that I take with that camera are night day with the htc camera. It even has an always auto focus, even on the camcorder. I have attached below the camera.apk from the latest full 102 nightly. Not sure if this is all you need or what. At least for me this would seal the deal with your rom. Again thanks for the your amazing work!

Thanks man!

EDIT... FORGOT ATTACHMENT..lol...
[EVO 4G Android Development] mattickus2:
Works perfectly!

Thanks for your awesome rom and your quick fix of wifi tether. :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] Wizhk:
Im using Vaelpak 2.2 with Kings BFS #8 and when I plug in to HDMI out (that used to work) it freezes the phone. Is this a problem with Vaelpak or the Kernel and if it is the kernel which ones work with HDMI out?

Edit: Besides this problem I love this ROM/Kernel Combo.. ;)

Wizhk
[EVO 4G Android Development] JuggZaPoppiN:
Is the dialer for an incoming call / outgoing call AOSP style? Or is it the stock sense one.

If not AOSP is there any way of implementing it?

Thank you.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Success100:
there are both options on this rom, the first time you press talk, it prompts you with both options and then you choose which one you want to use
[EVO 4G Android Development] vaelek:
As was said, the actual dialer can be either one. But the incoming call screen that appears when the phone is locked will still be the HTC slide-down-to-answer. This is not tied to the actual lock screen but rather the Phone.apk, which so far the AOSP one is not working at all on HTC framework.
[EVO 4G Android Development] vaelek:
Will check this out. Did a quick test and it is missing a few things as-is. Will have to look at this more when I have some time to play around with CM6.
[EVO 4G Android Development] JuggZaPoppiN:
Is this something that you are working on, our plan on working on. I really want to stock with a sense based rom with an AOSP look rather than completely switching to a full AOSP rom.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Success100:
there is no way to get that as of now without going to an AOSP rom
[EVO 4G Android Development] DubV:
AOSP Contacts

Does search work in the AOSP Contacts Ap on 2.2?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Success100:
negative on that, works in the HTC people app but not the aosp version
[EVO 4G Android Development] firemedic1343:
Sweetnesssssss, thanks Vaelek!!! This is one of many reasons that I keep coming back to your rom. :D
[EVO 4G Android Development] vijithecrab:
I can't install Stock FM app in 2.2.

Any clue ?
[EVO 4G Android Development] DubV:
Thanks Success.. Correct me if I'm wrong but the HTC people app doesn't allow you to search by fields within the contact other than the first and last name, ie, company, city, notes...

This is so important for my work and full AOSP roms seem to be the only ones to support it. :(
[EVO 4G Android Development] wrxphantom:
it works thats for the fix buddy.

wifi tether a go. all fixed now
[EVO 4G Android Development] elapshtc:
Val forgot to sign the files in the extra folder. Just download the 2.1 version and extract the files in the extra folder from the zip.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Wizhk:
No one uses their HDMI cable? I was streaming movies from my phone to the TV in good quality, this isn't just for YouTube or Slideshows you know.. lol

Bump.
[EVO 4G Android Development] wirenut110:
What's so great about AOSP over Sense besides esthetics? Is it faster? Better on battery?

I might give this ROM a go-around but I'd just like to see comments on this. Is everyone using the ROM provided kernal or are you switching it out?
[EVO 4G Android Development] bigant262:
Sense is too clunky for a lot of us. So we want AOSP with everything working, and this is the closest to it. Its still based off Sense, so some Sense things still work. And kernel depends on you. The latest HTC kernel is really good. Try it out, if you want something else, just flash any other kernel. But if you flash Netarchy kernels, make sure you download the DC versions.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Infinite520:
I have noticed the smallest of all bugs on 2.2 but figured I would mention it anyway. Onthe lock screen the phone vibrate symbol doesn't show up on the right swipe bar. That is not matter if it is on vibrate it silent mode it shows the silent mode symbol on the lock screen. Loving 2.2 btw
[EVO 4G Android Development] jonesdana:
Mirror anyone???

Download is crazy slow... anyone have a mirror for 2.2?
[EVO 4G Android Development] bassic:
I was quite happy with rooted stock 3.29.651.5 but figured for the little effort involved, I wanted to see what vanilla android was like. So far, I love it! Very happy.

I tried installing the HTC browser from the vaelpak extras, however because of the signing issue I couldn't install it. I searched and searched, and couldn't find any definitive answer as to how I can get the properly signed version. I'm going to stick with AOSP browser for now as it seems like it's good.

Now I have some questions about the sock apps that are included with this ROM. I know uninstalling FriendStream from the stock 2.2 rom could cause some issues. Is this the case with VaelPak? Can i delete FriendStream safely? What about Places, News and Weather, Peep, Facebook for HTC Sense (i thought sense wasn't installed here????), and Flickr?? I have no need for this crap, is it safe to delete it?
[EVO 4G Android Development] vijithecrab:
Tried 2.1 FM radio apk...works great.Thanks!
[EVO 4G Android Development] vaelek:
You can delete FriendStream only if you do not have HTC Facebook setup in Accounts & Sync. Without it, sync is broken. Since you want to also remove HTC Facebook, this shouldn't be a problem.

Places is embedded in Maps, so that can not be uninstalled without removing Maps (ADW & LP can both hide it though I believe)

News & Weather is safe to delete, Peep is likely required only if you have a Twitter sync account setup. Same with Flickr.

Sense has been gutted, but not entirely removed. The sense home UI is gone, and along with it all of the Sense widgets, but there is still "sense" embedded in the framework.

For the signing issues, I am slowly fixing these, check over here for the current available files.
[EVO 4G Android Development] vijithecrab:
Any update Sir ?
[EVO 4G Android Development] stangdriverdoug:
Have been running this rom from the get go and had been great do far. Vael....please keep this updated and going.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Seraphemz:
Vaelpak,i seemed to have lost google navigation, do you know how I can get it back?
[EVO 4G Android Development] vaelek:
I do come back to post when there is something newsworthy or a question is posed. Since launching the official forums (in my sig) it has been much easier to keep track of things there than in one continuous thread. Be sure to check there for the latest happenings.

As far as FB video, I still haven't had any opportunities to test this. Just finished up the 1.1 ResToggle update, and am now going to concentrate on the settings app.
[EVO 4G Android Development] vaelek:
The name is Vaelek, VaelPak is the rom ;)

I'm confused though, did you lose Navigation, or did you lose Google Maps? (or both)

ps. this is a known issue when updating directly from 2.1.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Seraphemz:
Sorry about the name.

I lost only google navigation

Edit. I lost both
