I don't think that there were any real release notes on the 3.28 version, as it was never released by sprint/htc. The only thing I saw that was different was the stock kernel battery improvements. Anybody feel free to comment/add? I would guess Flipz may know more about it...
[EVO 4G Android Development] Drybonz:
The latest fresh rom is based on the 3.28 software version (which is where the battery improvements from HTC started) and this is the 3.29 software version... so I'm gonna assume this maintains the battery improvements and also throws in the fps unlock from HTC, which is like cool and stuff.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Award Tour:
Don't know if this has been answered yet but did the OTA update have any new radios?
[EVO 4G Android Development] cadbomb:
So... does it seem smoother than any of the dev kernels? About the same? Looked like the stdev was pretty high compared to kings/netarchy's kernels...

Downloaded and waiting for everybody else to test before I take the plunge... I just rebuilt my phone earlier this afternoon and want to make sure it's worth my while... though I'm sure it is ;)
[EVO 4G Android Development] cadbomb:
No new radio. Same 2.15.00.07.28
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
thanks for the info...

i wondering what else is new in this ota.

i know some software from the market probably.... and the kernel... but what else is new.

as far as apk's and such i dont really think they did anything new... but i wonder if the framewoks is newer somehow and what about some of the system libraries.

i guess that since i dont have time to compare between 3.28 and 3.29 right now so i can just make a zip to update just what's new' i'm thinking someon else already done that compare and knows whats changed...

thats why i said that i dont want to sound lazy...

thanks again.

edit:

maybe some has just the ota update and not a rom?
[EVO 4G Android Development] jdawg0024:
It is smoother... I was running the stock 3.28 Rom and I never knew that the fps cap affected so much.. running this now and everything is way smoother... from scrolling to screen switching
[EVO 4G Android Development] curtis8523:
So I updated and my fps is better much smoother. It's a winner.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jbarajasp:
rooted 3.29 OTA...... check!

new version of sense...... oh please come out of hiding! :rolleyes:
[EVO 4G Android Development] chino331:
i would love to see an odexed version of this as well
[EVO 4G Android Development] smc333:
I'm a newb.... I'm rooted with unrevoked I have rom manger and astro installed. Just dl'd the dropbox link and it came up in astro but I'm not sure where to go from here to get it to work? Help please
[EVO 4G Android Development] Drybonz:
What is the advantage? Isn't the odexed version just an "un-themable" version of the de-odexed?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Drybonz:
You are gonna have to boot into recovery (hold vol down and power while power is off) and wipe your device, then "install from sdcard" and select the rom (make sure it's on the root of your sdcard).
[EVO 4G Android Development] novanosis85:
I don't get it... how did the op get the update when no one can?
[EVO 4G Android Development] holob:
How about an odexed version?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Drybonz:
Never question a man's sources. :P
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
i think that technically u can get it at certain places since it has been pushed starting today... but u would have to be unrooted or have an untouched stock to be able to get it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] hdad2:
So we are certain the fix is in the kernel?

Not long after the original kernel source dropped, the conclusion was that the cap was NOT in the kernel. So the kernel was modified to fight against whatever cap they did have in place to get us the FPS unlock we've been enjoying. Now that they broke the cap, I'm really curious to find out if they did it by removing the restriction they put in place somewhere (radio?) or by modifying the kernel just like those pesky "hackers" they referred to. If the fix is in the kernel, we're stuck waiting till they release the source to find out or modify it any further. But if the fix is in the radio, then perhaps (new radio + custom kernel=awesome)...

Anyone with a stock kernel brave enough to flash just the radio update to see if the cap will be lifted? I don't even know if that would work.
[EVO 4G Android Development] chino331:
when a ROM is deodexed, a lot it's not resigned correctly... pre-installed apps like sprint voicemail/tv/nascar, google maps, flash, etc won't update correctly. will need to flash updates for those apps... PITA. Odex everything updates normally... I also dont use themes, so no need for an deodexed version.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Trident:
I'm getting ~660KB/s. Under three minutes.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Drybonz:
I believe someone said a page back or so that the radio is the same version.
[EVO 4G Android Development] b0ricua:
I sent the tip in to AndroidCentral when Myn posted this, it just made the front page. Expect the masses to start visiting this thread :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] Drybonz:
Thanks for the info... I didn't realize this. I have always used the de-odexed versions of everything.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mobilemaniac:
Or could you flash an older "capped" kernel?
[EVO 4G Android Development] jkinnison90:
There was no new radio it looks like, so the cap isn't in the radio I would assume? I just flashed this zip, and the cap is gone. So it must be the kernel.
[EVO 4G Android Development] xhazyx:
Since this is an official HTC update lifting the FPS cap... i wonder if the ROM runs any smoother than say CM6 or any Sense ROM with a custom kernel?

any of u guys that tried it have some feedback?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Drybonz:
I'll let ya know here in about 15 minutes... still downloading.
[EVO 4G Android Development] cadbomb:
I would think that if the update was in the radio, that the radio version would be newer than the current... unless HTC is defying my understanding of version modifications... This doesn't update the radio at all... If you look in the zip, the only image file is the boot.img (kernel). I don't see an nv.img in there, so I would assume the radio doesn't get changed.

EDIT: I wonder if anybody would be brave enough to try and pull that boot.img and try fastbooting it to see if the FPS cap disappears. You will then have your answer. Though I guess I could do it... But I'm pretty sure it's in the kernel. Hopefully someone can tear this kernel apart and see if it matches up to the "hacks" that have already been applied to netarchy/kings kernels.
[EVO 4G Android Development] tauzins:
problem with upload im reuploading now...!!!
[EVO 4G Android Development] Drybonz:
Wait... I'm downloading your rapidshare mirror now... is it messed up?
[EVO 4G Android Development] RTC88:
I am currently running baked 1.75 with the new htc kernel. Seems buttery smooth. I nandroid backed up both baked and then the ota separately them restored baked and restored the boot section of the ota
[EVO 4G Android Development] tauzins:
the file isnt messed up, it wouldnt let me download with that link, i guess its working for you guys!!!!
[EVO 4G Android Development] Drybonz:
Yeah it seems good to go. Thanks for the mirror.
[EVO 4G Android Development] hdad2:
Damn. So if this cap that was suspected to be in the radio hasn't been changed at all, the only possible fix is in the kernel.

They stole the XDA dev's ideas...they must have. Maybe they didn't copy the code exactly, but they must have at least gotten some inspiration from it. I don't know whether to be pissed off on behalf of the awesome, hard working devs we've got here or happy that they got officially noticed.... Maybe the source will have some commented lines thanking the XDA devs
[EVO 4G Android Development] myn:
Since this only contains the ROM and no radio/wimax updates I would assume that at least partially the KERNEL is responsible for the FPS cap.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Drybonz:
I think it's probably more like they knew how it could be done, but didn't have any pressure to release an actual fix until 3rd parties proved publicly that it could be done.
[EVO 4G Android Development] edress714:
why install?

i have cyanogen rom and it already does 30 plus fps, is there anything i would be getting with the new rom?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Sporkman:
ROFL just got an email tell me my dropbox public link ( the OTA ) has been suspended for excessive traffic
[EVO 4G Android Development] cadbomb:
I truly believe that this is an implementation into the stock HTC kernel based on the success and validation of lab testing of the XDA "hacks" on the kernel that were likely performed by HTC... I can't be absolutely sure, but this is what I believe. We'll see soon enough, whenever the devs get the HTC source :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] cadbomb:
You would be getting sense back, and a full stock deodexed(themeable) rom essentially. I wouldn't try to flash this unless you decide to switch back to, well, stock... :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] pdiddyfan:
Help!!

I just rooted days ago and I'm very newb, lol. I have the baked snack rom on my evo and some kernal from his site to go along with the rom. I don't exactly understand what to do to get this installed. I feel I should firstly backup everything with titanium or backup pro. After that, I don't know. Do I then wipe everything and then install the rom for the ota? If so, what do I do after that and when can I put baked snack back on? I have no clue what the wimax and radio updates are as well, but read around and saw they aren't needed. Man, I just don't get it yet...
[EVO 4G Android Development] dan0412:
For the uninitiated, how do you flash just the boot section? I assume you are referring to the boot.img file of the new OTA update? Do you use fastboot?

Thanks in advance.
[EVO 4G Android Development] blackroseMD1:
Alright, I'm a bit confused now. I'm running HTC-OTA-3.26.651.6-Final-Froyo-Rooted-Odexed-netarchy-signed at the moment with Konikub's EvoElite theme. I always thought it was the odexed ROMs that were themeable, as opposed to the deodexed. I was also running the earlier OTA earlier today, and themed it as well.

Alright, well, I'm gonna flash this one too, I guess, and see what happens.
[EVO 4G Android Development] RTC88:
Goto nandroid them advanced.

Update: breaks 4g!
[EVO 4G Android Development] hdad2:
I swear I remember following the original threads where they were picking apart the original source for weeks and never found the cap. So if it was in the kernel, it must have been well hidden. I thought the kernel source had the panels refreshing at 60 Hz, but they were frustrated by what seemed to be an external choke on the framerate.

I suppose the other possibility is the "cap" IS related to hardware. Not in a radio or anywhere HTC could modify. If that is true, then they would still have had to implement a kernel fix or "hack" like we've had for a while.
[EVO 4G Android Development] edress714:
thanks, yea i dont want sense, i like my wii controller and my emulators working together!
[EVO 4G Android Development] Drybonz:
I just posted a brief tutorial like, one page ago... if you are gonna run this stock rom you won't be running baked snack... it's two different roms. There are a ton of tutorials already posted all over XDA on how to do the basic flashings.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mobilemaniac:
Wait until Baked Snack incorporates this kernel.
[EVO 4G Android Development] deathpod:
Dear myn,

You rose to godly status in the vogue forums in short order. It looks like you'll do it in the supersonic forums as well, if not already. Very glad to have you among us!

Regards,

deathpod
[EVO 4G Android Development] cadbomb:
Baked Snack is a customized rom. I would stay where you're at until you learn more about the process. There are tons of resources to read up on this stuff in the dev forums... if you have more specific questions, please head over to irc.freenode.com and join the #HTC-EVO channel. Then you can chat with all kinds of people who have a lot of experience with it and hopefully help you learn.

To answer your question, you won't be able to use this and Baked Snack at the same time until the dev updates his rom. You may just want to wait for that, then back up your apps using one of your aforementioned backup apps and restoring post upgrade.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Drybonz:
+1... probably the best bet for newbs... wait like a day until your favorite rom updates all the new stuff.
[EVO 4G Android Development] bluebeast213:
Decisions......hmmm.

Do I wait a day or so for the Fresh version or flash it now....

screw it. I'm a flashaholic anyways.

Downloading.

Thanks :D
[EVO 4G Android Development] suprano:
thats what makes rooting tight..nice, fast and hot..
[EVO 4G Android Development] pdiddyfan:
Thanks, I was thinking that's what I'd do instead of being impatient. It won't take long, and I'm gonna take a look around and read up on some more about flashing. I've been using my mac and used unrevoked to root. I'm gonna get on my pc desktop running xp and try things out. I'm on vacation til next friday, so I shouldn't be newb anymore by then. Thanks...
[EVO 4G Android Development] nugzo:
pretty damn good numbers for stock kernel

Nice numbers for stock kernel. real nice. Feels good too.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Hawaii Tom:
I have both the new 3.29 ROM and the Radio/WiMax combo from Calkulin. Do I put them both on the SD card root before I boot into recovery? Will they both install as part of the same process?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Drybonz:
They are separate and unrelated. If you have already updated your radios, you don't need to do it again if you change your rom.
[EVO 4G Android Development] cadbomb:
What theme are you runnin there buddy?
[EVO 4G Android Development] dan0412:
That would be ClockWorkMod recovery, I guess (as Amon_RA recovery doesn't have that option.)

Thanks.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Drybonz:
Well, I have it up and running. I would say, at a glance, the 2d performance (homescreens, scrolling etc) is at least on par with the best custom kernels I have tried. I haven't done any technical benchmarking (and probably won't), but it seems real nice.

Now to see if the battery fixes from the previous software update are maintained with the official fps unlock update... if so, it's GG.
[EVO 4G Android Development] stanglifemike:
Wow, I cant believe how this thread really attracted so many noobs :D. I'm not complaining, I think its great!! Just find it odd that so many are placing their first post in this thread....
[EVO 4G Android Development] BigRick10:
AndroidCentral just posted this on their front page. I assume some traffic is coming from over there.
[EVO 4G Android Development] pdiddyfan:
Thanks, I'll do that, but I do have a question. Once Baked Snacks incorporates this and I flash the next rom, wouldn't a restore overwrite the new rom? If not, why?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Drybonz:
On a side note... I just updated my voicemail app, without any problems, as soon as I flashed this de-odexed version... not sure if anyone cares, but thought I would mention that.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Hawaii Tom:
I haven't updated anything past the ClockworkMod Recovery ROM. I used the new UnrEVOked 3.21. When I boot into recovery, is it 2 separate processes to flash both the Rom and the radios, or will the loader see both and do both as part of the same process before I reboot?
[EVO 4G Android Development] superandroidhero:
3d graphics still capped?

So glad there's an official fps fix but neocore is still showing its maxing out at 28-30fps is this related to the gpu maybe?just trying to learn a bit more about how this awesome phone works.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ZEDEK:
*SetCPU*

Peace all,

General question for anyone who knows. I know that this is a STOCK OTA ROM--therefore the kernel is not clockable---so should i disable SetCPU or allow it to adjust to this ROM's kernel and keep my profiles (once SetCPU reconfigures)?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Drybonz:
They are in separate zips... you do them one at a time. I, personally, would flash the rom, reboot, setup... then go back into recovery and update my radio.
[EVO 4G Android Development] :
Not sure if you got my msg. I can host on my mega account.
[EVO 4G Android Development] curtis8523:
29.3 fps on neo core
[EVO 4G Android Development] cadbomb:
Yes, if you're referring to backing up your current baked snack, upgrading to the new, then restoring the backed up one, then yes, you will go back to original. You'll have to start from scratch, unless the dev makes an update.zip that only updates the current rom, thereby not forcing you to have to restore anything while retaining all of your data. Otherwise, yes you will lose all data and have to restore your settings/apps to the new rom. Roms and updates are separate issues. If you flash a rom, you lose all previous settings. If you flash an update, you retain all previous settings and the software is just updated. Hopefully that's clear...
[EVO 4G Android Development] pdiddyfan:
Yeah, I'm newb, but I gotta learn from the best, right?
[EVO 4G Android Development] nugzo:
Mixture of themes. The notification icons are konikub evoelite.
[EVO 4G Android Development] seezar:
would like to see an odex version available
[EVO 4G Android Development] stanglifemike:
No doubt man, like I said...I think its great. Was just shocked about it, thats all :D
[EVO 4G Android Development] mobilemaniac:
I believe Titanium can restore your apps and data, but I could be wrong. I always just start fresh.
[EVO 4G Android Development] nugzo:
You can still use set cpu and your profiles & Governors, just not above 998. i have a lot of profiles that i think help, so i'll continue to use them.. Maybe. I'll also test this kernel without setcpu for battery life and responsiveness as well.

NEW MIRRORS AGAIN

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=2KNA2DDW

http://www.mediafire.com/?d7arudb78eplz57
[EVO 4G Android Development] pdiddyfan:
Yes, it's clear. I'm just not sure what I'd have to do if there isn't an update, but just a whole new rom altogether. It seems a backup would be useless and I'd lose all data and market links, etc as well....
[EVO 4G Android Development] jadehawk:
Thank you

Thank you myn for the download

Mirrors also added on Signature...
[EVO 4G Android Development] myn:
Thanks for the kind words :)

I have another surprise coming shortly that I've been working on for awhile.

Following the trail of my past Roms (Warm Donut and Warm Eclair) for the Vogue.

I am finally at a point I can give everyone a peek of my new EVO rom which I am calling "Warm TwoPointTwo"

Similar to my past roms, the focus is fast, stable and great battery life. It has quite a few unique features like reboot options, Iphone like transitions/animations, removable sense. etc.

Stay tuned.

I leave you with some screenshots
[EVO 4G Android Development] nhutpham:
That looks great!
[EVO 4G Android Development] adriang5555:
Dude! Daddy Likes! :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] kperry1911:
You can back up your apps and settings with My Backup, or Titanium Backup.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Trident:
Beautiful looking ROM. Will this be based on this new 3.29 update?
[EVO 4G Android Development] jgalan14:
Looks really nice I'm willing to test it if you need tester, just the keyboard not such a fan but I could past it :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] myn:
Thanks. Updated first post :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] myn:
Yes sir :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] blackroseMD1:
Holy hell, that ROM looks fantastic! Can't wait to try it out. :D
[EVO 4G Android Development] jgalan14:
Lol me too I flash 6 different roms this month already
[EVO 4G Android Development] Hawaii Tom:
That's a hot looking build!

OK, those screenshots look killer! Selectable reboot from the OS? Slick. I just stumbled on this thread today just after the exact time you posted the ROM. It looks like I've found a new place to hang! Congrats
[EVO 4G Android Development] cj10488:
So myn I hate to be an ass but whats the problem uploading the unmodified update.zip file like others as well as myself have been asking for. This seems more like a ploy to prevent other developers doing anything with the original update.zip file until you release your rom.

Not Cool

James
[EVO 4G Android Development] smarcin:
Myn,

I ran Warm Donut on my Touch. I loved your ROMS! I tried for a while last spring, to get Android on my TP. It was nowhere near as good as your stuff for the Touch. Then I got a Hero in May. Rooted it and ran Fresh on it. I got my Evo on Launch Day. I'm so glad to see you are working on Evo stuff! Thanks for starting me on the Android path! I can't wait to try your Evo ROM.
[EVO 4G Android Development] myn:
As I have mentioned several times.. This is a ROM. Similar to all of the other ROMS out there including but not limited to past OTA roms that didn't contain the Radio or WiMax updates.

As my upcoming Warm TwoPointTwo ROM is also a

ROM

you can also expect it to NOT contain Radio or WiMax updates either....

Let me make this clear one more time.. This is the stock/vanilla Sprint Sense OTA "ROM".
[EVO 4G Android Development] cj10488:
I did NOT ask for radio or wimax updates. I requested your SOURCE the ORIGINAL unmodified Update.zip file not a ROM not Radio or Wimax updates The original file.

James
[EVO 4G Android Development] mrwilly:
What about a odexed version?
[EVO 4G Android Development] xo96:
Super Fast...Thanks for the hardwork!
[EVO 4G Android Development] adriang5555:
Yeah, atleast uploading the odexed version would be nice. Uploading the deodexed version before the odexed version is kinda backwards... Staying up for the odexed version to hit. Then, I can rest :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] phelixian:
So is it wrong to do a nandroid backup and then this update and then a nandroid restore of just your data? I just did that, and though it took its sweet time it seems like it is working ok with all my old settings and programs back. Is there a reason not to do this? Just wondering....
[EVO 4G Android Development] tatnai:
use FPS2d from the market.

you should be able to use perflock disabler with the stock kernel and use sdtcpu still; give it a shot and post back. i'll test for a few days to get a baseline before I start running setcpu, then compare.

just like old times, myn. good to have you here. Just sold my vogue last week (been rocking the evo since launch) - your stuff was always great. looking forward to it.

What exactly is a hardware locked Samsung vibrant?
[Vibrant General] henreeg:
I'm new to xda... and I gotta tell you first before anyone...

search before you post!
[Vibrant General] speoples20:
A hardware locked Vibrant is one that doesn't allow you to get into Recovery or Download mode through the hardware keys. It causes problems if you have a bad flash and can't get into recovery or download mode to fix it.
[Droid 2 General] ljbaumer:
Hey I was wondering if there was any way that someone could make a sense rom for the droid 2 and if it would even run on it. Also why wouldn't it work it is just additions to the system/app and system/framework.

Please explain what a locked bootloader restricts. I know it means that you can't use un-official kernels but does that mean you can't change it to sense?\

I would love to have the new sense from the desire HD for the droid 2.
[Droid 2 General] ljbaumer:
****BUMP****
[Droid 2 General] jj702561:
from what i understand the big thing holding back alot of the dev work for stuff like that on the droid2 is the motorola locked bootloader.... so far i've seen themes and the like with alot of the motoblur taken out/turned off but nothing beyond that (not even an aosp) but i know that its being worked on by some good people and I am holding my breath for the goods to start flowing for both the 2 and the X.... in fact i would really like to have it by the big tx bbq.... kinda soon but i can dream
