Vaelek i am a noob at this. I want to try your rom but I am kind of afraid. on your post #247 you are explaining how to adb, does this mean that I have to download adb from sdk developers? Sorry about this question but I had my evo since the first day it came out & i am trying to know everything about the android platform.

thanks
[EVO 4G Android Development] brock1909:
this looks sweet. will be trying upon your update. love nonsense roms.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ReallyShawn:
Vaelek often provides workarounds etc. that can be implemented if desired. However, you would not normally require adb (although if you re messing with roms / kernals you might well want to have it available in your toolbox).
[EVO 4G Android Development] gatorcowboy:
I have been a long time viewer of xda, but my first post had to be kudos, to Vaelek. Great ROM!!! I have used several, and this is the one I am keeping. Thanks, Man!!! Keep up the great work!!!

Can someone tell me where to find the HTC browser apk? It's not in the extras folder, will copy/paste work?

[EVO 4G Android Development] lundrog:
Nope, your better off with the Dolphin Browser HD http://www.appbrain.com/app/mobi.mgeek.TunnyBrowser

and if you don't have app brain yet, get it, and use it to sync your apps.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jfashion:
Thanks lundrog, I got it, uninstalled browser with root explorer, then installed from extras folder, copy/paste and everything is a go.

[EVO 4G Android Development] vaelek:
To echo ReallyShawn, I would really suggest having it at the ready if you're in the business of flashing roms. Post 247 is to fix an issue that was found with Maps not showing up, and not allowing update/install from market. If you are in the same boat, you can use root explorer and terminal on your phone to accomplish the same thing, just skip the 'adb' part of the command.

If I'm able to, I want to try and get a 1.2b out today to address a couple of the issues, but as I'm about to head off to work, and am going to be camping all weekend and have to get ready for that as well, I can't promise anything.

Edit:

As someone also suggested, there is Brutt Maps that will work as a drop in replacement for the moment. I commented earlier that Latitude didn't work with it (as the post for Brutt states), but as it turns out it does work just fine. I don't have a link but search the forum and you should find it.

Anyone tried net. 4.1.8 kernel with this rom?
[EVO 4G Android Development] vaelek:
After looking into this a bit more as I understand it, if apps2sd is enabled in a rom and an ext partition exists, it will just automatically use it. The 'move to sd card' button in Application manager is for the built-in option in FroYo, that has to be enabled by the dev for each particular application. Also as I understand it, the built-in method does not use its own partition so if your sd is mounted to your pc, apps can be come unavailable.

If you open an adb shell, between 'df' and 'mount' are you able to locate the ext partition and tell if there is any space used on it?
[EVO 4G Android Development] awareunlikeu:
@ Msmith1, Im a sort of new to android development and modification but that dock and theme is sick! Im familiar with everything adb and rooting on the EVO but where do i get docks similiar to that for Launcher Pro? That link would be Great.. OH AND i CAN NOT FORGET VAEL FOR THIS FAST ASS, STABLE ASS, KICK ASS ROM.... KEEP UP THE EXCELLENT WORK
[EVO 4G Android Development] vaelek:
Thanks much :)

I'll just chime in here and say that extra icons and docks are in the Launcher Pro Icons package, it's not free however.

Anyone tried net. 4.1.8 kernel with this rom?

I tried it and got stuck in boot loop. KingsX BFS#3 kernel is working great for me. OC to 1.19 and i got consistent 1600's in Qaudrant. Super buttery too
[EVO 4G Android Development] awareunlikeu:
No No thank u much good sir
[EVO 4G Android Development] dakotaSioux:
I was playing with Fresh's Kitchen looking into cooking my own rom and saw this thread. This is damn near what I was going for. Real nice work man. Keep it up. Only issue was voicemail claimed an update but it wouldn't let me install it. I use gogole voice anyway so I went in and force stopped the sprint voicemail app. Hasn't come back on yet. Other than that, had to uninstall rom manager then reinstall from market to update. I'd love to see you make almost all the sense app crap removable.
[EVO 4G Android Development] vaelek:
Thanks for the comment!

If you check out post #2 there is a fix for the voice mail update. Unfortunately all of the pre-installed apps will fail when trying to update them. I know what the problem is and it will be fixed in 1.3. Uninstall/reinstall like you did to correct it.

My end goal is go get rid of as much sense as possible, while leaving the user with a choice to use HTC or AOSP versions of whatever apps they choose. Most things have been ripped already, Calendar is the main one that has to stay for now due to being tied to HTC Facebook sync and the Android Facebook sync not working yet.
[EVO 4G Android Development] lzlaxhacker:
I'm pretty sure this ROM is exactly what I've been looking for. I'm not really sure how I missed it. I'm downloading and flashing this right now.
[EVO 4G Android Development] :
Overclocking

Has anyone tried overclocking to 1.2 ghz with this Rom? If so, What did you use? I tried with SetCPU and it wasn't being friendly.
[EVO 4G Android Development] vaelek:
The problem as I understand it is in the kernel not the rom. Many are having issues going over 1152 on kings kernels on various roms. I assume you're using kings?
[EVO 4G Android Development] :
Im using your rom as is, v1.1 which is very excellent. Wanted to just push the cpu a little more.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Skitzi:
are you using the included Kernel?

I am on Kings #3 OC to 1228 and seems to be stable. If I go over that I crash. It's more to do with your hardware than the ROM. Some phones will handle it better than others, not all circuit boards are made equal.

1228 benchmarks, King #3 kernel

- FPS2d: 51 stdev 5.39

- Linpack: 41

- Quadrant: 1398

These could be better, but I had all kinds of crap running in the background.
[EVO 4G Android Development] :
O.k., will give it a try. Im on the stock kernal.
[EVO 4G Android Development] :
Let me refraise that. Im running Vaelpak so whatever is included on this.
[EVO 4G Android Development] skydeaner:
i can't get the new netarchy 4.1.7 or 4.1.8 cfs or bfs to work with this, whats goin on, anyone know?
[EVO 4G Android Development] vaelek:
Netarchy 4.0.2 DC is what's baked into the ROM. It only goes up to 1115200 so I'm assuming you probably backed up SetCPU while on a different one while it was set to a max of over 1115200 and then restored it after flashing this ROM? I did that once and the results were pretty unstable until I figured out what was going on. I would either flash kings (all speeds on #6 should be stable, #7 pushes it a bit too far), or edit your setcpu profiles, once you adjust the slider it should fix the max to what it really is on that kernel.

For whatever reason, this ROM likes kernels built for Damage Control, so if you didn't I would try the DC version.
[EVO 4G Android Development] :
Well when i first rooted my Evo i went to Cyanogens Nightly and wanted everything working so i went back to regular rooted 2.1 and flashed your Rom and so far i love it, wanted to push it a little faster because i saw you got Quadrant uo to 1445. I think i'll keep it as is. I just did another Quadrant test and last one i got a 1396. :) Is there a link for Kings Kernal #6 in case i do want to try it out?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Beastn:
Is there any way of flashing cyanogens browser on this rom. I want to turn off mobile view and get rid of the zoom buttons, he also has the incognito window thing going on.
[EVO 4G Android Development] vaelek:
The highest I've gotten on any rom is this with 1496 though a friend of mine got just over 1500 (granted I've run the test many more times on this rom than others) was with #6. You can probably push it another notch further with #7 but more than that and it may lock up.

I will say that it got a 1493 with the included kernel, OC to 1113 and set to performance. - https://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=0Aguc0npJCrWxdEFyU2NRNG1jNnRkY2trdXBsYlJLdWc&hl=en#gid=0

[EVO 4G Android Development] vaelek:
If you have the zip for CM, open it and find system/app/Browser.apk, you should be able to either install it to replace the other one, or overwrite /system/app/Browser.apk on the phone with it. I have RC1 but never did get RC2 otherwise I'd post it here for you.

ADB Wireless

First, I stumbled on this in the market today. adbWireless. Simple yet badass. Probably going to include it in 2.3. If anyone has a reason why these two shall not be joined, speak now.

Second, I am going camping this weekend. I'll likely keep an eye out here as long as my battery holds out but I wanted to say not to expect a new version for a couple of days. I'm hoping to be able to get it out Sunday but that all depends on how Sunday goes....

If Sunday doesn't happen, it *will* be early next week. Given that there's a little time, and that most of the changes coming are fixes, anything you want to see in here, even if you think it's ridiculous or impossible, shout it out and I'll see what I can do. I will say that one of the things I have planned eventually, is a settings app to easily choose what you want of HTC and what you want of AOSP to make it as easy as possible as the load in the extras folder grows.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ReallyShawn:
I just tried adbWireless and it works great. I see no reason not to include it.

Looking forward to the update on Sunday or early next week. My wife won't mind if I don't spend the weekend flashing a rom anyway. :D

I think a settings app to select individually between the HTC and AOSP applications would be great!

Keep up the great work and have a good weekend.

Install one of the mms apps. Apparently it has to be there even with handcent. Look in extras, stock or aosp.
[EVO 4G Android Development] glenzos:
Hey V, Me again. Still lovin this. Not a real big deal, but, I use to own a Droid (the 1st one) and when I would listen to music Via Bluetooth, Slacker or what ever. And I would get a call while listening, after I hung up the music would come back studdering. My Evo has never done this, until I installed 1.1. When I get a call it does the same thing after I hang up. I need to unpair and re-connect or reboot to get it working properly again. Any ideas. Thanks G
[EVO 4G Android Development] :
Just wanted to post this for anybody wanting to try out. I am running KingxKernal #6 with this rom and so far so good. SetCPU works great and i am currently at 1036mhz max and 224 mhz Min. Quadrant scored at 1396.
[EVO 4G Android Development] halorin:
Loving this latest version. Might be the best one I've tried so far. This with the latest king bfs kernel at 1.2 is incredible.
[EVO 4G Android Development] runner77:
Completely agree.

My performance and battery have been excellent with the new version.

Does the HTC clock app work with the vanilla lock screen along with answering calls with the lock screen
[EVO 4G Android Development] awareunlikeu:
That would be epic.......B/c the only complaint I have with the rom is a decent mail widget....Like the htc mail widget. I cant seem to find or make one work on launcher pro on this rom, perhaps its just me. I tried pure messenger widget,, but it would never display my mail in the "big" widget style, u know where u can scroll and delete emails on one of the home screens. Perhaps I set it up wrong... but I tried every config possible. But that would complete this rom for me,,a htc-ish or the actual htc widget being able to be added to one of my home screens on launcher pro.. None the less, excellent work Vael looking forward to the updat, keep up the spiffy work.
[EVO 4G Android Development] vaelek:
The htc clock alarm doesn't work with the vanilla lock. I have the aosp clock in here that does fully work. The htc slider will still appear when getting a call for now.
[EVO 4G Android Development] bigant262:
Vael, I was wondering if there was any possibility that you could somehow get aosp bluetooth in your rom so we can use wii remotes for emu's. I'm pretty sure its not possible but thought I would ask.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ctyke:
I am getting fc's for the touch input with exchange mail in horizontal mode, vertical works fine and so do other apps. Anyone else getting this?
[EVO 4G Android Development] werkem:
anyone get google voice installed on this rom ?

also if anyone has asop browser from cm6 i liked that one as well
[EVO 4G Android Development] halorin:
Voice installed fine for me. I don't know if you can mix the aosp browser with Sense.
[EVO 4G Android Development] vaelek:
Won't make the next build but I will add this to the list of things to look into.

I don't have an actual account setup in mail, but on the setup screen at least I am unable to reproduce this. 1.3 will be out today, please let me know if the problem continues. I may need to get some log out put from you.

1.3 has all google apps updates, and also will include GV.

I tried adding the CM6 browser but it looks like I either need to figure out what else CM modified with it or I'm missing a dependency somewhere, will keep working on this for the next build.
[EVO 4G Android Development] vaelek:
That is rather odd. As I said above 1.3 will be out today. Please give that a shot and post the results. If the problem is still there I will dig out my BT headset and see if I can reproduce it and figure out what's going on.

VaelPak 1.3

Ok guys, If you didn't catch on already, 1.3 is around the corner. Donors will be receiving early access links shortly, and I should be able to get it uploaded for everyone else within the next few hours.

There isn't much new with 1.3, most of it is fixes for things I botched in 1.2. I've applied the Google Apps update, stripping out the extra crap they added. Voice Search is now pre-installed. I also ended up going back to Astro instead of EStrongs as EStrongs does not register itself as a file picker for things like Dropbox. If anyone has a better suggestion please let me know.

The only new app included in this release is adbWireless, which is soooo handy.

The AOSP keyboard is still not taking well to this rom so that is still on the wish list. :mad:

Hopefully this one will have all of the current issues worked out, and I can now concentrate on some of the other requests, adding in the AOSP notification icons (you will have a choice to use HTC or AOSP), and working on getting android facebook sync working so I can finally rip out HTC Facebook and Calendar. I did not rip out anything more with this one because I want to have a totally stable release without introducing any new bugs.

Edit:

1.3 is uploading right now. Link coming soon!

Downloading to verify MD5 and then the link goes up.
[EVO 4G Android Development] vaelek:
v1.3 is up! See post #1 for the link.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ort84:
Thanks for the hardwork on this rom Vael! Will download 1.3 soon and give it a spin. Will try to send some beer change your way as well.

Quick question: Think there would be any issue with flashing the 4.1.8 netarch kernel with this rom?
[EVO 4G Android Development] vaelek:
Just flashed 4.1.8 DC version and it seems to be working ok. I had to re-do the device detection in setcpu to get some of the options to enable. I am noticing though that my speed is bouncing between the min and max with no scaling in the middle, and the info tab of setcpu just shows null for 'time in state'.

Edit: Going to try the standard 4.1.8 and see if it fairs any better. Historically though this rom likes DC compatible kernels.

-- Nope, 4.1.8 standard will boot loop, stick to DC version --

Sirius XM not working on 1.2

Been loving the rom. Just wanted to let you know that Sirius XM is not working it is always looking for the data stream it loads, i get channels but it just doesnt play. I am downloading 1.3 now and will try it out on that.
[EVO 4G Android Development] vaelek:
I'm not able to test that one since I'm not a subscriber. If it does not have a fall-back, then the streaming fix I have built in might be causing problems (then again, without the fix it may not work either).

You can test this by editing /system/build.prop find this line

media.stagefright.enable-http=false

and change it to true, reboot and try Sirius again. This will break Pandora and Last.fm most likely though.

Network Location Issue

Noticing an issue with geolocation if you don't have gps/wifi on, it doesn't seem to pick up the location at all. This is very annoying as it messes with weather location unless you have gps on. I think it has to do with the GAPPS update, will look into and try to fix this as soon as I can.
[EVO 4G Android Development] halorin:
Downloading now. :)

All is well after 1.3.

Thanks!

Off for more testing!
[EVO 4G Android Development] vaelek:
I am going to do my best to push out another update sometime today. The geolocation issue is a deal breaker for me. I was going to pull the 1.3 link but instead I will just post this disclaimer. Rolling back the google update does not appear to be working as expected, I've got geolocation back but other things are breaking all over the place. So I'm going to have to roll all the way back to 1.2 in the kitchen and re-apply the changes keeping only GMail from the google update.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Skitzi:
One thing i have seen repeated in other places is to always wipe Data and Dalvik caches before flashing a new kernel. I has also seen it said to uninstall SetCpu before flashing and then reinstall afterwards.

Also, GAPPS. I know we talked already Vaelek but for others. 1.2 with GAPPS flashed on top does not appear to have the geolocation issue, it's working fine on my EVO.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ronnyb29:
Just want to tell you that I am loving this rom and 1.3 is much improved over 1.2. I'm using the kingx kernel #4 and on 1.2 I got nearly 24 hours of battery life after a couple charges with wifi and bluetooth on 24x7. We will see in the next couple of days if this carries over into 1.3.

As far the sirius issue it is an issue with froyo right now, sirius is supposed to release an updated app "soon". I can't link yet but if you go to the sirius page/android you can sign up to get an email when it is released.

Thanks again!

1.3a up!

Alright, I rolled back to 1.2 in the kitchen and re-applied all of the changes keeping only Gmail from the google updates. Geolocation is working great again and I haven't noticed any other problems.

Would the Snap kernels work with this rom or are they for CM6 roms only? I only ask because i get over 2000 quadrant scores after doing the sd card partition and installing snapv7 on my CM6 rom. I'd like to try this rom too.. so just curious!
[EVO 4G Android Development] vaelek:
I haven't tried any of the snap kernels. I do know that Cyanogen has something that messes with Quadrant scores (I've seen a screen shot over 9000) so I'm not sure if the 2000 is legit or not.

All I can say is back it up and give it a go. I will go ahead and give it a shot once I get home from work if no one has by then and post the results.

I want to make a list of all kernels that do work with this. If anyone has flashed anything other than Netarchy DC, Kings #5/6/7 or Kings BFS #4 with this rom, please post the results.
[EVO 4G Android Development] habitual_line_stepper:
Snap kernels are only for cm6
[EVO 4G Android Development] runner77:
I'm running Kings BFS #3 and it's working fine so far.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jrun:
Well thats interesting news.. i hope the score increases i got aren't bogus! With stock cm6 kernel i was getting 1500ish.. it was the snapv7 after applied to cm6 that they really jumped up.. partly due to the sd card partition and being used as memory i heard.. so hopefully its legit and had nothing to do with CM hackery.

Edit: I should have read post #2. :) However, I'm still not getting them with the AOSP program.
[EVO 4G Android Development] vaelek:
This really irks me. :mad: I heard that MMS wasn't working with the AOSP app but tested it and at least once it did work, so I put it in by default.. After trying a few things, I installed the HTC Mms and the pic downloaded without a problem. Sooo, We're still not free of workarounds, to fix the mms problem, install vaelpak-extras/replaced/mms.apk

You don't have to use it, it just has to be there.

If anyone isn't familiar with Handcent, if you use it, you will likely have to turn off notifications in the messages app or you will get double every time.

Edit: at least 1 person *is* able to receive MMS without having to install HTC MMS... I don't get it..
