The Bad and the Good!

TJ, I have a few things to report! First off I think I have found the Kernel that works well with this ROM. About two weeks ago I put netarchy's-toastmod-4.3.1-cfs-havs-nosbc-universal-signed.zip On my phone and it worked very well for the first few days and then all of a sudden I got some freeze up and/or the phone started running Very Very slow. So I did a cache wipe and just reinstalled the same kernel... that was about 10 days ago and my phone has been doing great ever since. Battery life could be a little better, but its not bad. The phone seem to have a great response time.

Now, on to the problems I've been having...

I have also been having some problems with MMS. At first the message just wouldn't send. It would sit there spinning for the longest time with out sending. I did some research looking into the PRI, and found that some people have been downgrading to the 1.77 in order to try saving on battery life... when I did this.. I just had problem sending pictures threw MMS. So I updated to the latest PRI which was 1.9. Since then I haven't had any problems with sending any MMS and things on the phone have been great!

Issue one is, When I go to my contacts and select someone I want to send a text to, The MMS should open with the persons name already in the text window above. But the MMS window opens with a blank Text field box instead. From that point I have to click on the box and select who I want to send it too and everything works fine.

Issue Two, I found that when I have MMS open... and I want to attach a picture right from the camera (not from the gallery) I take the picture... then the phone attaches a different picture form the gallery to the message! The only way it works ok... is if I take the picture first and then attach the picture from the gallery.

Also I cant get my youtube app to let me update it.

This is how my phone has been running. Hope it helps!

SMS Force Close

Nevermind, I just learned of the AOSP 160 char limit. Will try handcent.

----

I'm running this ROM entirely "stock," I haven't flashed or installed any alternative kernels or messaging apps.

Messages force close too often, like once in ten or twenty attempts. On sending a message -- usually just text -- the app will force close immediately on hitting send and then reload with the message showing "sending" indefinitely. It's a big hassle and my research hasn't turned up anything definitive in general for android or in the thread for this ROM.
[EVO 4G Android Development] tmac:
Quick question; is the Gingerbread Taskbar with Battery Percentage option really just the gingerbread battery itself? In other words, the taskbar itself doesn't look like Gingerbread, just the battery. I flashed it and that is the only thing I noticed.

Been using other roms, but I keep coming back to this one.
[EVO 4G Android Development] tjohnsonjr:
Sorry, ive been in a meeting all day. Everyone thanks for the input and im working on the issues right now.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mrkkk:
when i go to battery status, it says google maps is taking 98% of the cpu

I think this is some kind of reporting issue, the battery life is still the same as 2.1 stock but the battery status number is off
[EVO 4G Android Development] minieod:
hey i have a quick question ... is the epic theme built specifically for this rom or will it work with other sense roms?

it just replaces factory icons and color sets right?
[EVO 4G Android Development] mchuang:
No Need to apologize as we are the ones taking your time up, I am loving this rom, battery life is awesome.
[EVO 4G Android Development] tjohnsonjr:
Quick update. Just finished the update. Will be up soon
[EVO 4G Android Development] joemgl:
Which kernel are you using?
[EVO 4G Android Development] tjohnsonjr:
v4.3 is up!!
[EVO 4G Android Development] minieod:
nice! what happened to the individual added files.... im not really ready to swap to 4.3 yet today , probably in a few days - but would love to load the newest miui music app for now

any chance we can get that stuff back online?
[EVO 4G Android Development] tjohnsonjr:
Some of the add-ons aren't needed anymore. I'll upload just the music app later
[EVO 4G Android Development] jeb.:
Love the Rom. Just a couple caveats: anyway to flash the stock market? And also I miss the gingerbread status bar without the batt percentage.
[EVO 4G Android Development] tjohnsonjr:
Yeah I can post the stock market. I didnt have time this morning to post the status bar post without the battery percentage. It'll be up later.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Swampdonkey305:
Is the MMS limit to 5mb?
[EVO 4G Android Development] jeb.:
Thanks man. Your ROM has become my daily driver. What flavors gatorade do you like? LoL
[EVO 4G Android Development] tjohnsonjr:
I never had a problem
[EVO 4G Android Development] Swampdonkey305:
how can i update youtube?
[EVO 4G Android Development] mjpuczko:
Kinda struggling with this myself. Tried to uninstall and no luck.
[EVO 4G Android Development] tjohnsonjr:
Are you talking about the YouTube app?
[EVO 4G Android Development] mjpuczko:
Yeah but I think its because I restored via appbrain. I can't uninstall or update it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] tjohnsonjr:
I'll have a fix for it tonight
[EVO 4G Android Development] mglenny:
Great ROM Tj. Anyone else seeing Swype having issues on 4.3? When I turn it on it gives me a stopped unexpectedly error everytime I go to type something.
[EVO 4G Android Development] tjohnsonjr:
4.3.1 is up with a few fixes
[EVO 4G Android Development] ewells26:
How do I download this ROM

This ROM really interests me and I want to try it but everytime I try to download it it doesnt give me the full ZIP or it says its unavailable. Any help would be great.
[EVO 4G Android Development] tjohnsonjr:
Did you try both the regular link and the mirror?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Jocelyn:
Is this a built in option or did you replace the old Gingerbread battery without battery percentage zip file in the OP? Thanks for fixing 4.3 so fasr btw :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] tjohnsonjr:
You have to flash the zip in the OP. Thanks:)
[EVO 4G Android Development] towir022:
a couple questions

I am really liking this rom but there are just a couple things I am wondering if I can get. First when I am in contacts and I want to send a text if I click on the contact and click send text it brings me to the text messaging app but does not already have the contact in there so I have to retype the contact in once it takes me into the messaging app.

Second I wish the diaper had letters on it so that you could start typing in the name of a contact and it would start populating names versus having to scroll through all the contacts to call someone.

Third is there a way to make it so when my phone is on vibrate it vibrates for text messages and incoming calls but then when I flip it to sound on it rings for incoming calls and gives the notification I selected for messages and what not without vibrating? Seems like you have to have vibrate box checked in messages in order for it to vibrate when sound is off. This is fine except when I turn the sound back on using the widget in the task bar I do not want it to vibrate any more. Does this even make any sense?
[EVO 4G Android Development] BradBrugger:
I am pretty happy with this ROM, it is one of the best I have used. Thanks to all for the hard work and effort.

I have 4.2 now, do I still have to do a complete wipe to upgrade?
[EVO 4G Android Development] zeeraf:
anyone having and issue with 4.3.1 ??? i loaded it and i keep getting stuck on the load screen the screen that says "htc evo 4g"
[EVO 4G Android Development] pwhitersxs:
Things to add:

I miss the HTC calendar widget. I added the widget into /system/app and I could not figure out how to get it to work. Ideas?

Also, the lockscreen gestures do not work out of the box. I used ghost commander and followed this post:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=10709244&postcount=17

Great rom tjohnsonjr, fantastic battery life and it is extremely fast and stable.
[EVO 4G Android Development] minieod:
still seeing if you can upload the new miui music as a standalone app

thanks tj
[EVO 4G Android Development] kuderized:
MIUI File Explorer

I apologizes if this is in the wrong section. (Please direct me to a better place to post this if you feel the need)

I notice you have included the MIUI Music App in this ROM, which is a pretty cool Music Player.

I was playing with the New MIUI ROM today and found the MIUI File Explorer. Guys and Gals, this is a pretty darn awesome file explorer and if possible, what would it take to include in other roms similar to the way the Music app has been added.

I've added a couple screen shots of the MIUI File Explorer App, so you don't have to load up MIUI to get the idea of what I'm talking about. This is the fastest File explorer I've used and the format in which it catalog's the files is just amazing... no more digging through folders and searching is no different than using the live search in today's google search bar.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mchuang:
Tested MMS, works fine now. On a side note, did you modify anything with the battery settings. My battery is just eating up as the phone sits here now. Before it use to not take much away off idle. Thanks. Donated.
[EVO 4G Android Development] tjohnsonjr:
You can use the Sense dialer. It has the letters on the numbers.

Yes you should wipe because of the framework changes

Did you wipe data/dalvik cache?

Thank you. The HTC Calendar widget wont work because its a Sense (Rosie.apk) widget.

Thank you for the donation. Ive read that some people have a battery drain issue with the current PRI(1.9). Try using a different kernel.
[EVO 4G Android Development] tjohnsonjr:
I posted the New Miui Music in the OP.
[EVO 4G Android Development] zeeraf:
Tj im loving this rom , its now my daily driver ...... one queston ... originally before the lock screen controls you had just the two red arrows and now we have the standard slide bars .... is that because of the lock screen controls ??? i liked the red arrows , it added more uniqeness to the rom
[EVO 4G Android Development] tjohnsonjr:
Glad you you got it booted past the white screen. I can post the lockscreen with arrows later. Thanks
[EVO 4G Android Development] zeeraf:
thanks alot , still have tired 4.3.1 will do that this afternoon , im running a nand backup of 4.3 either way i still love it
[EVO 4G Android Development] docsparks:
original post says there both App2Sd.. I know one isnt.. but whiich!!

the 1st link is Apps2SD

the 2nd link, is for non-app2sd
[EVO 4G Android Development] tjohnsonjr:
Try the mirror.
[EVO 4G Android Development] zeeraf:
one more question, and this purely out of curiousity.... we have aosp phone , contacts and messages in this rom , is it possibile to the aosp incall screen and the aosp slide to answer ??? or it cant be done cause this is a sense based rom ?? ..... not being picky just wondering
[EVO 4G Android Development] zeeraf:
okay so i think ive found a lil problem please tell me if anyone else has had it , i flashed 4.3.1 and myns battery tweak then rebooted and i get stuck on the "htcev04g" . I flashed the rom without flashing the battery tweak and rom boots up just fine so i decided to go back into recovery and flash the tweak and i get stuck again . so im guessing 4.3.1 and myn's tweak doesnt play nice
[EVO 4G Android Development] tjohnsonjr:
Thanks, I'll fix the links in a bit

Because this is a this a Sense based ROM, it would take a lot to get the AOSP in-call screen.

Thanks for sharing. I'm going to check it right now.
[EVO 4G Android Development] tjohnsonjr:
The links are fixed
[EVO 4G Android Development] tpeazy:
TJ,

I just want to say...this is an awesome ROM! It may not catch all the attention cause of the name of your thread, but this really deserves a look as one of the best ROMs available. I typically try most out there and I am having a hard time leaving this one. It has most elements of sense that I want and the look and freeness of AOSP. Very nice job. If I could make any suggestions for next upgrade...see if the text messages for Sprint VVM can be eliminated (maybe not, I dunno), I personally like scrolling up and down for my apps, (but that is personal preference and you are the chef) and not much else...

BTW I have been off the charger all day and I am a heavy user and it is now almost 10:40pm and I still have 30% battery...that is AWESOME!!!!

Nice work...I will donate.

Tp
[EVO 4G Android Development] Nesiop:
Hey TJ,

I wasn't looking at doing a full wipe because some of the newer changes from 4.0 to now aren't life threatening to me at the moment, but the new lock screen, the notification pull down icons, and the "new" Epic theme, are these flashable zip's I can use to add them to the older 4.0?
[EVO 4G Android Development] tjohnsonjr:
Thank you very much. There is an app to stop the block the 9016 messages. I forget what it is. Another option is to use the Sense Mms.apk

I would just flash the Rom. The apks were optimized also. To prevent any possible issues, just wipe and flash 4.3.
[EVO 4G Android Development] zeeraf:
its called super private conversation , its free in the market
[EVO 4G Android Development] zeeraf:
okay dunno why im the fortunate one to run in to errors but i found another one , Tj you had made me a battery mod which looked like the normal smooth battery i tried to flash that last night and got stuck in a loop . i didnt mind i stuck with the one that came with the rom .... i got bored at work and decided to try out the gingerbread task bar with battery % in it ... downloaded fine , reboot into recovery , wiped dalvick-cache twice , even wiped /cache twice . rebooted and nothing , still the same stock task bar !! .... why me :(
[EVO 4G Android Development] tomyboombotz:
U cant edit system APk in this rom like I can't flash or push to the system folder they will never install it's the way he signed the rom
[EVO 4G Android Development] Nesiop:
Have they ever fixed the backup programs to allow a restore of a backup from say....Titanium, to have the Apps show up in the Market so I can receive updates without having to reinstall them all?
[EVO 4G Android Development] mels0n:
Do I need to full wipe from 4.2 to 4.3.1?

Edit: Ignore found answer a couple pages back.

Answer is yes due to framework changes.
[EVO 4G Android Development] magnumstg16:
Second... Love this Rom but wish I could just do a full titanium batch restore.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Nesiop:
Exactly. We can restore it all (barring a few settings and such...but I have about 45 or so programs on my phone, and having to manual add them sucks.
[EVO 4G Android Development] minieod:
huh? ive never ever had this problem and done many rom to rom titanium backups/restores
[EVO 4G Android Development] magnumstg16:
Lucky you then! When i flashed the rom I installed Titanium key and Titanium root. Then when i run the batch to restore apps+data it starts on the first app, gets no progress and restarts my phone in a matter of 5 seconds. No dice for me. Ideas?
[EVO 4G Android Development] skillet:
From within Titanium click problems and install BusyBox. Restore apps as normal.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mchuang:
Well I was referring to the previous rom you had posted prior to 4.3.1. Battery was awesome, switch to 4.3.1, which like i said fixed mms, but battery is not as good as before. Was there a kernel change between updates or do you have a suggested kernel? I am on PRI 1.77_003
[EVO 4G Android Development] xsaqzw:
What is the best kernel to use with this ROM in you guy's opinion?
[EVO 4G Android Development] tjohnsonjr:
The only difference between 4.3 and 4.3.1 is I fixed swype and Youtube.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mchuang:
I guess I can try and reset and flash again, but I swear your previous rom I would undock at 7:30am get home at 5:30 and still have at least 40% left with 4G on. This new one I undock same time and find myself having to put it on the charger around 3pm.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jammoo5:
Well my friend, I have the easiest solution for this. I encountered the same thing.

In Titanium Backup on the "home page" that button on the bottom right that says, "Problems?" Touch that, and restore your backup with ease.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jammoo5:
Also OP, is there a way to not make the lockscreen so gay (to be frank). I LOVED the last lockscreen with the white/red font and homescreen background. My Daft Punk background is getting lonely :-|3.
[EVO 4G Android Development] tjohnsonjr:
I posted the lockscreen with the arrow sliders. It will still work with the lockscreen mod. Around the world...Around the world...:)
[EVO 4G Android Development] tomyboombotz:
Has someone figured out how to push apk to system. Folder in this build cause every time I do it it doesn't install even after permission changes ill even flash it from recovery and no install it will show in the system. Folder but can't open it or nothing I can't use this build because of this but! And what's wrong with a gay lockscreen!
[EVO 4G Android Development] tjohnsonjr:
Which apk are you trying to push?
[EVO 4G Android Development] tomyboombotz:
Mutitouch KB miui.music a bunch of different Apk. I can't even push like the abduction. Game to the system. Folder no apk. Will work when I push it to the system. Folder tried alot
[EVO 4G Android Development] tjohnsonjr:
Do this:

adb remount

adb shell

cd system/app

ls

This will show all the apks in the system/app folder. If you are replacing an apk that is included, you may need to rename the apk your are pushing or remove the included apk first and then push your apk. Hope that helps.
[EVO 4G Android Development] tpeazy:
TJ,

Still loving this as my Daily Driver. My fingers don't know what to do since I normally flash so much.

Are you working on anything new? Not that you need to, but just wondering.

Tp
[EVO 4G Android Development] tjohnsonjr:
Thanks. At the moment I'm working on a AOSP Gingerbread Rom for my Viewsonic G Tablet. Maybe I'll make a AOSP version of this ROM also. We'll see...:rolleyes:
[EVO 4G Android Development] tomyboombotz:
Can anyone test my issue if u guys don't have my issue look up then ill flash and try this rom again. Just try to install something by pushing it to the system folder. And let me know it it works
[EVO 4G Android Development] atypical1:
Great ROM! I've been going through a bunch lately trying to find one that I love and you definitely hit it out of the park with this one. I love AOSP but when everything isn't working perfect it's a deal breaker.

I really like the TW Launcher but can't figure out how to organize the apps in the drawer to be in alpha order. I've done a Google search and there was only one post that showed up and it was asking the same thing (unanswered).

Thanks again for all of your hard work on this one. I can't believe that this thread doesn't have more traffic in it because this is certainly one of the best ones out there.

The new Swype 2.10.52.1375 is up on applanet and we are only running 2.7.xxx I tried to install the app through es file manager and its failing to install. Any ideas of what the problem is?
[EVO 4G Android Development] chemical25:
Been using this ROM since last week and loving it.

I have two issues though, and search isn't currently working on this thread:

1) The sounds of notifications and playing music from the speakerphone sounds really scratchy and distorted... is there some patch or fix for this? I vaguely recall another ROM having a similar issue that required a patch.

2) In the AOSP contacts list, is there any fix to make searching work? I used to be able to just start typing the first few letters of a name in another ROM, and it would actively filter the list - but with this, the whole list just grays out and nothing happens. Also, joining contacts with their Facebook equivalents doesn't work - just get a black screen. Not sure if this is just a side-effect/compatibility issue of this not being an AOSP ROM, like my previous.

Thanks.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mswlogo:
I just started running this rom and have a couple issues.

The EPST codes don't work. i.e. ##3282# does nothing.

And I can't search contacts. Go into contacts hit search type text and it does not incrementally search

If I can solve a couple of these issues it looks like a great rom.

Thanks
[EVO 4G Android Development] tjohnsonjr:
I removed the apk that allows the ##DATA#. I'll post it later. That is one the drawbacks of using the AOSP Contacts with a Sense Rom. You can also use the Sense Dialer and Contacts if you need to(its included in the ROM)
[EVO 4G Android Development] zeeraf:
the epst code does work but you have to use the sense phone app not the aosp one , ive done it with no problem
[EVO 4G Android Development] tjohnsonjr:
It does work. Thanks
[EVO 4G Android Development] mswlogo:
That worked thanks.

I also just search contacts with the generic google search and that works fine.

Just can't search contacts within the contacts app. No biggy.

Overall looking pretty good.
[EVO 4G Android Development] sjr19:
Anyone have an issue with the lockscreen gestures not working? i'd try to add one, hit done, and it'd be a blank screen again like nothing was added. i had to re-flash the actual mod for lockscreen gestures and in turn lost the nonsense power control graphics/status bar.....
[EVO 4G Android Development] tjohnsonjr:
You can push the framework-res.apk into the system/framework to get the power control statusbar that came with the ROM. For the gestures, follow these instructions: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=10709244&postcount=17
[EVO 4G Android Development] BrandonG777:
Man, many thanks. I just had to swap my Nexus One for an Evo and thought I was going to have to go without GPS (wasn't working for me and many others) and HDMI, on CM7 nightlies because I cant take Sense dialer and contacts make my brain short circuit and want to throw my phone.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Nesiop:
Minieod, or anyone else.

Are you saying after you reflash again.... And then run Tit. Backup to restore all your apps and data and such, that it acted as if you never reflashed/deleted everything AND that all those apps show back up in the Market on the APPS page, so that you can easily update them again?

I know from the past, things like MyBackup Pro would install all my apps but they DID NOT show up on the Apps page even though they are installed, then if I find an app on the market that I have installed it would say something like "free" but when I go to DL it, it would then say you are replacing XXX.XX version with XXX.XXXX version as if it was installed. So that makes a slight issue because I would never get prompt for an update of new apps unless I manually did that with each app to get it to appear in the market.
[EVO 4G Android Development] iceman99393:
Can you make a zip to change cyan colors to black for pull down power controls ? Thanks

any new updates coming ?? i cant think of wah id like to see lol im just curious
[EVO 4G Android Development] Jester123:
Hey I noticed a few issues I had.

First I did a full wipe, even formated my SD card before placing the install zip onto my sd card.

So my issues are the lock screen settings app will force close upon restart. Also whenever I use qik and try to click on video chat, it also FCs.

Was wondering if their is a fix for either of these. Specifically the lock screen app
[EVO 4G Android Development] minieod:
yeah...after i wipe the system, and flash a new rom, i load it up and sign into my gmail to set up settings

next step i launch market, then i download tit. backup...

next step i run titanium (after selecting unknown sources in application settings and "problems?" in tit menu) --- i run backup/restore tab, then batch, then "restore all missing apps and system data" (i only do this if i am going between the same rom but new versions

if i switch between roms then i run "restore missing apps" but not system data..

after i do this i have no problems with the market or anything
