You sir are a god, i had 0 errors on boot and it makes the sound pop like crazy now. Um btw i flashed kernel 9 but i forgot to wipe the caches and my battery sucked ass, so i reverted back to 8 and its good now. Think my problem was the not wiping both the caches?
[EVO 4G Android Development] MrsVaelek:
It's entirely possible. If you benchmarked it, did you leave in performance mode?
[EVO 4G Android Development] RFrancis:
Oh man I got into the android scene too late and the learning curve is to steep although I'm familiar with the psp, ds, wii, ps3 etc as well as also program I don't seem to understand Lot of things.

1. The first root method for froyo by toaster or something used the unrevoked software somewhere towards the end however they came out with their single click process now and I wanted to know if there was a way and any additional benefits to doing this as opposed to what the long process I did.

2. So after I install the internet and calculator I delete the apps through the adb shell?

4. I think I do know what I mean with the pri... After I rooted the pri/radio with a... Hmmm wait a minute the radio would show as the baseband version right? So then what is the pri, mine shows as being 1.4003 or something like that. So is that the latest version and what its pri after all?

Oh yeah and my signature I don't have a clue why the xda app shows the pc3 thing I added the evo stuff in parentheses care to elaborate why that is funny hehe
[EVO 4G Android Development] rockdawg:
I had no idea unrevoked was maybe not the best way to root. I figured root was root? How does this second step give me a cleaner system? Can I undo revoked and do a simple root?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Kaine16:
no my phone is always set to conservative and 998, i dont care much for benchmarks, although i hit 1620ish. Overall i theme the living **** out of my phone, so as long as it looks purdy and good battery life i am sold.

Another thing i noticed though when i first flashed it took forever to charge my phone for some reason.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Sed8ing:
What he SAID!!!!
[EVO 4G Android Development] MrsVaelek:
Try it again, wiping the cache. Some people have said that it's been sluggish and drainy until they rebooted for the first time after running it for a bit.
[EVO 4G Android Development] vaelek:
Hmmm.. So basically, you're saying I can take my wife's phone with a semi cracked screen, say it was lost, and put those donations to use to get a second EVO to use for testing?? Do you know how long it would have to be off for and I assume turning it back on afterwards would just cause no service?

1. Check up a few posts for my thoughts on unrevoked. The long process is always the best right now.

2. Correct. Or using whatever method you want, root explorer, terminal emulator, etc. The easiest way to mess with things is to use Android Commander - androidcommander.com.

4. 1.4 is the newest yes. the rest of us are stuck on 1.34. PRI is primary rate interface, it controls how your phone connects to the towers.

It shows that for everyone in their sig in xda app. It's just the model of the phone. Most carriers will re-brand the same model under different names. I'm sure everyone is slightly put off by it's default sig. Idk just something about seeing it how you put it I found humorous.

There was a supposed undo method, I know as of yesterday afternoon it was pulled for causing major problems. If it is or does come back up, I would definitely wait a little bit until people start to confirm not having any problems. It messes with the radio in a way that re-flashing it doesn't seem to fix for some problems.

The long method uses a glitch found in the airplane mode toggle that if done repeatedly, will allow you to gain a root access adb shell, from there I believe you flash a previous hboot which will in turn allow you to flash a 2.1 stock image. From that point you can root it using the standard method for 2.1 where you will get the recovery loader and are free to do what you like from that point on.
[EVO 4G Android Development] rockdawg:
In the OP, it mentions that the Sense UI and widgets are in /sdcard/VaelPak-Extras. I am specifically trying to get the Sense calendar widget. Is it possible to add that without the rest of the Sense UI? If so, where exactly do I find the apk for that?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Novarider:
They make the IMEI unusable so the phone wont get any signal and cant be used to make calls or use sprint data. It CAN however use wifi so it will have full internet access if you have wifi.

That wouldnt make for a good test phone would it? Dont you need to connect to data and phone service to test those critical functions?

You could look on ebay or craigslist for a good deal on a used evo to use for testing your roms. EDIT. Nevermind it looks like the only cheap ones have a broken screen or something like that
[EVO 4G Android Development] RFrancis:
I appreciate it vaelek, so why is it that I have the newest PRI and other people don't?

Personal donation coming your way, I most definitely appreciate your time.
[EVO 4G Android Development] vaelek:
That needs to be updated. The sense widgets were recently removed from the sd pack since they have been confirmed unnecessary for anything. Unfortunately you can't use any of the sense widgets without the SenseUI. It's possible there could be another launcher I am not aware of that has support for these, but all of the included ones do not. There is a new LP update that sounds like it adds a few more replacements for the sense widgets and more are on the way. If they would only add support for more rows/cols I would go back but it's ADB for me until then with the hi-res.

as long as I can get wifi most things could be tested fine on it, and could tether via my normal one when not by wifi. I don't really see anything I would do affect calls, possibly MMS but the final test would of course be done on my own phone. If I can get one for $100 through the insurance I think it would def be cheaper than anywhere else though as far as ebay & craigslist goes. Getting one there would be just as disabled unless I actually added it to my plan anyhow too. The screen does have a pretty good crack in it and does need to be replaced anyhow. Do you think what 12,24hrs it would have to stay off for? or less/more? Just until the call is over? And I suppose airplane mode would be sufficient vs fully off.

I just want to be able to use my phone as it's intended. It's been almost a month now that it's been jacked up in some form or another from testing.
[EVO 4G Android Development] MrsVaelek:
I can't answer that from Vaelek's pov, but I can say that Sprint tech support does not even know what PRI is. I was one the phone with them for over an hour regarding how crappy our signal is here (they were kind enough to call me back both times the call dropped), and asked them about pushing the PRI update. Dude said something about PRL, and had to look PRI up and go, huh, what do ya know? No clue how to get it updated though.
[EVO 4G Android Development] vaelek:
Thanks bro, always appreciated :) The results vary so much that I don't know why you were able to get the new PRI so easily. I think it may have something to do with the fact that all evo's are shipped with 1.4. It is the rooting process that makes you end up with an older one. My theory is that 1.4 has never had a reason to actually be pushed so getting it to do so can be a PITA. There may also be some truth to the geographical theory.
[EVO 4G Android Development] RFrancis:
About reporting the phone lost, I did that with my EVO and a motorola i1 and just told the recovery representative that I had already reported it lost to sprint since a different company takes care of that for sprint If you tell that you reported it beforehand they won't go through the trouble of doing it for you meanwhile you still have service and a new phone coming your way. :) I apologize for the bad explanation but anything longer than that on the phone is too tedious.
[EVO 4G Android Development] vaelek:
So there is no actual need to shut it off? I figured it was for the purpose of verifying that it was lost, and if it was on that they could try to track it. How long did you have service? Up until activating the replacement or did it go out at some point?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Novarider:
I would turn it off just incase they do try to track it or call it or something. It would look bad if the guy said "well lets call it one last time" and it rings sitting on your desk right in front of you LOL. leave it off for 5-6 hours and call them then have them overnight the replacement to you. Plus if you turn it off and take out the battery there is NO way they can track it through GPS and see its still at your house.

You should know you can only make I think 2 insurance claims in a year before they cut you off.

You do have the extra $7 insurance on your plan for both phones right?

i am having the mms asop problem as well. I can get them just not send them. I looked for the mms.apk in that location and its not there. all i have is

browser, calc, music,mail vending
[EVO 4G Android Development] :
Yea its kinda weird. I can receive mms, I can send an mms to myself and get it BUT i cant send an mms to anyone else.
[EVO 4G Android Development] werkem:
are you having issues when you get an mms and it has the play icon and it does nothing ?
[EVO 4G Android Development] bigant262:
Are you sure they are not getting it? Whenever I sent a MMS it would say it didn't send but the person I sent it to actually got it.

Hi Vael

I tried this and I'm getting (rm failed for /system/app/com.google.android.apps.maps.apk, Directory not empty) Any ideas?
[EVO 4G Android Development] joshpdavis80:
Sorry if this is posted, but I am having trouble searching from my phone. I am unable to update Google maps and flash 10.1 from the market. It starts and then fails. Any suggestions?
[EVO 4G Android Development] josh6780:
No, You don't need to do anything. Just call them and tell them the phone was lost. If you don't want to worry about having any proof such has police reports or tracking then you just tell the that it fell of the boat baby! They don't shut off the other phone or anything. I have done this before along with many people that work at sprint.

I think I am going to flash your ROM on the Sprint Hero and just see what happens :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] wy1d:
I can't install google maps or flash from the market. I've uninstalled the ones that came with the ROM but every time it is unsuccessful.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Sed8ing:
Search through this thread and you will find fixes from Vaelek to address these.. Also, the 2.1 update that he will be putting up at some point (likely soon knowing how hard he works on this stuff) will have these fixed.

I don't use the XDA app really but Tapatalk Pro which is a similar interface I think but can be used for hundreds of forums and does have a search function...or you can just go to your antique that thing called a computer and go online ;) (also tapatalk can produce widgets that allow you to go to a specific forum from your home screen)

Funny thing a little while ago I was sitting in front of my laptop and the screen saver came on and I swiped my finger on the screen to try and get the screen back!!! Needless to say it didn't work... I like my Evo better than my computer :o
[EVO 4G Android Development] wy1d:
didn't work. remove says file doesn't exists. uninstall command says failure.
[EVO 4G Android Development] joshpdavis80:
Thanks for posting the links! Please check the first one. The maps link is not working for me.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Sed8ing:
It may depend on the method you are using adb shell from computer or terminal emulator.... scroll down from those posts and you will probably find the variation necessary to make it work for you... you may need to use rm instead of remove....
[EVO 4G Android Development] Sed8ing:
Look back I put a different one up
[EVO 4G Android Development] joshpdavis80:
Thanks!
[EVO 4G Android Development] wy1d:
I followed it exactly. This file:

/system/app/com.google.android.apps.maps.apk

Isn't there. I can browse that directory in Astro and it's not there. But it still won't let me install from Market. Just says unsuccessful.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Sed8ing:
Not sure what to tell you since I am far from an expert on these things ;)

Vaelek is the one that has saved my ass over the last few days with his expertise... keep looking through the thread after the one that the info was in and there may be another mention that hits your issue. I know there were a few people that had the problem and that this fix worked for me.

[EVO 4G Android Development] vaelek:
Excellent :) You'll have to let me know how it goes..

To some of the rest that have posted since I passed out working on 2.1 (sorry guys, but you should be getting used to this by now lol..) Files have different names on older versions. I had individual responses, but XDA appeared to be down briefly and I lost my response and am not re-typing it all. The command given was specifically for 2.0. Anything older than 2.0 *should* have any known fixes listed in post 2. If you are not on 2.0 and the fix is not listed there, I'm happy to help, but I need to know what version you are on to do so. Have you all looked at post 2 as far as what is known to break MMS? Or installed any UI mods?

...now that nap time is over.. back to working on 2.1...

Edit: Flashing test #1
[EVO 4G Android Development] jerrygon:
XDA is back! Woooo Hoooo! Where are you Val?
[EVO 4G Android Development] vaelek:

So 1.2 is coming along nicely. I'm on test build #8 currently. I think I've almost got it ready to push out. First will come the full BFS9 rom zip, likely followed by the full stock, then the incrementals.

Yanno, you would think so.. but today I had to go deal with getting rid of my van, which except for the first few hours, lasted almost exactly as long as XDA was down...

When you add it, choose custom shortcut, once you pick the app, tap the icon and you can change it to whatever you want.
[EVO 4G Android Development] bigant262:
I think you must be loooking for custom shortcuts? I think thats what your talking about.

can you post your system panel stats because i find that hard to believe on normal use.

Do you have setcpu running if so what settings or other tricks
[EVO 4G Android Development] Novarider:

Maybe it is time to wipe. Could be some other crap I have installed.

[EVO 4G Android Development] :
If you check the posts from yesterday i posted the last screenshots i had. As for Setcpu, i just use the main part and set to 1036mhz max and 245mhz min. and set to conservative. When you see the screenshots, they were taken all after each other.
[EVO 4G Android Development] werkem:
i will have to check them once the site gets back to normal images not loading

just wanted to see your usage. i can set my phone down and get 24hrs as well but i text/talk/2 emails synced
[EVO 4G Android Development] vaelek:
I just want to say real quick while the site is up that 2.1 is close, the update link in my sig will have the URL to download in the event that the site remains unstable, so save that link now!

Will look into the setcpu thing shortly. Anyone else run into this? Been flawless for me?

For some reason today, my "Clock" app has started FC'ing on me. I had absolutely zero FC's the first couple of days. I thought maybe I had it OC'd too high, but I set it to 998 and still had the same problem. This is the actual error I'm getting, "process com.google.android.apps.genie.geniewidget has stopped". It also affects the "News and Weather" app/widget as well. I've tried a couple of reboots, and no luck.

I know you're busy right now, Vaelek, with 2.1. So if/when you have time to answer is fine, but I'd also like to know if anyone has had this problem (I've read the thread - I don't think I saw anyone else with this problem).
[EVO 4G Android Development] Abracastabya:

[EVO 4G Android Development] ThaDSman:
Do bluetooth controllers work with your rom? like the Wiimote or MSI BGP-100?
[EVO 4G Android Development] vaelek:
You're the first to report that one.. 2.1 I believe is ready to go and will be getting uploaded shortly, perhaps that will solve whatever the problem is.

So far it looks like I've got it so that even with the kernel change, there is no need to wipe anything, even cache's. It should be good for anyone ranging from a fresh 2.0 install, to any number of the patches that have been posted. You might have a few apps to update in the market depending on your individual scenario, but should have no problem doing so.

4.0.2 DC was the last one I personally tried. I think others have tried a few more but don't know which. It should work.

Nope. For now this is limited to stock android. I'm sure someone will figure it out soon. If this release proves to be as stable as it should, I will finally have time to look into things like this.
[EVO 4G Android Development] BIGWORM:
Yeah, unfortunately, people were saying they were able to get WiiMote successfully connected to the phone with CM roms. I'm not willing to make the move. =/
[EVO 4G Android Development] vaelek:
So 2.1 was up for about 30 seconds... had to pull it temporarily.

I need a guinea pig. 2.1 is causing an error for 1 person. They are using AR recovery.

First person to respond using each recovery will get a private link. I need one AR and one clockwork.

Edit: I have one AR, now I need one clockwork.

Awesome, I'm gonna update Amon and see if thats why I got an error.
[EVO 4G Android Development] vaelek:
Awesome, ok, 2.1 link has been put back up in post 1. Have at it folks!

PS. I spent a lot of time so you wouldn't have to wipe if coming from 2.0. From BFS is known to not need *ANY* wipe even cache, coming from stock should be the same but I haven't tested it yet. If anyone does, please post your results for everyone.

If you're using Amon, be sure to have the latest version! Changelog is in post 2, I'm going to bed.

Cheers.
