For any having sync problems:

Two things can interfere with sync...

-Google Talk

-Old data left over from your last ROM and/or a Dalvik cache that is not properly wiped.

First, a weird but effective fix for sync issues is open Google Talk and sign in with your account. This can also fix market download issues.

The biggest culprit is either improperly wiped data from your last ROM(s) or an improperly wiped Dalvik.

First try to do a full wipe. This means backup first with Titanium backup and then wipe Data, Cache, Dalvik (do all three twice for good measure) and SD: EXT. Then in Amon Ra Recovery, go to the Partition menu and select "Repair: SD:EXT. Reinstall my ROM (themeless) and let it boot up. Do not switch kernels or anything.

See if you are still having sync issues. But first, go to market and then go to the menu and select "downloads". Update all apps (especially Google apps) and then open Google Talk and sign in there. Try and sync and see if it works. If so, then switch to the kernel and theme of your choice if you want.

If it is still giving you problems, backup your entire SD card on your computer and using the partition selection in Amon Ra, format the SD card using the default settings and then select Ext2 to Ext3. Copy your backed up SD card contents back on and then do the same as above (Full wipe, install ROM only, no theme/kernel/anything else).

Other things to try:

-Update radio, wimax, NV, and PRI all to latest version using Calkulin's all radio update. You can find it in THIS THREAD Download the one that is marked as "COMBO", copy it to your SD card, and flash it like you would anything else. This can also give you more battery life or better signal. Maybe both. Just do not flash it with anything else.

-go to settings>software updates>update PRL (do not update anything else or you risk losing root!)

-Make sure you are using Hboot 0.76

-If you are using Clockwork recovery, you are just asking for problems. Use Amon Ra, it works way better! (i know you said you use RA, but this applies to anyone else who is having sync issues.

This ROM is working flawless for me and most, few people having problems. It could also be something else installed that is messing with it. But, please try these steps until you get it working. This is the same HTC sync that is used with the stock version of the 3.29 OTA so it should work quite flawless.

I flashed this too and LOVED IT also but I had to go back to my orignal cuz I also couldnt get Wireless Tether to work. Is anyone else having problems? Is there a fix cuz Id REALLY love to use this ROM it was soooo nice and smooth and fast but I REALLY need wireless tether. Any help is MUCH appreciated.
[EVO 4G Android Development] foresure84:
tried

very weird like i stated before tried everything.... plus a new sd card..... only installed to roms on my evo if i nadroid back to virusrom i can sync with htc yours i cant tried everything all apps the same
[EVO 4G Android Development] johnpucillo:
Hey Ricsim I am new to this thread but I am far from a noob. I just discovered your ROM last night and flashed it. I nandroided after I set it up and have been trying your themes. I have to say I am impressed. Everything is fluid and smooth and quick too. I love the transitions and that I can flash different themes and retain the transitions. The only problem I have is that when I want to choose one of your wallpapers the gallery doesn't pick them up. I found them in the Customize >Resources folder and just moved them into the DCIM folder and rebooted. I'm waiting now to see if it works when it reboots. All around great job, look forward to your updates
[EVO 4G Android Development] dezel29:
could we please get a fix for wireless tether please....i dont want to nandroid one rom for work and one for home...would rather just use this one full time...please help....ty
[EVO 4G Android Development] ricsim78:
I am working on a wireless tether fix, so please be patient and I will get it working asap.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ricsim78:
Okay, I am doing what I can to fix the tethering problem.

In then meantime, please download (and flash) Calkulin's USB tether fix (download it from the first page or attached to this thread.

I think it not only fixes USB tethering (to use, plug your phone into the computer and select "USB tether"), it also unlocks Sprint's Hot Spot. I am not 100% sure about the last, but I read that it does.

I emailed Calkulin and seeing if he has any ideas why tethering is not working on my ROM. I looked at a few other ROMS where it is working and I see nothing that stands out to me that I would have to add to mine to help make it work.

It should be mentioned that I am using the version I attached and it is working fine for me and I am using this exact ROM.
[EVO 4G Android Development] khshapiro:
i was having a htc sync problem aswell, i uninstalled htc sync, sdk and jdk.... i reinstalled them from fresh downloads and my problem is fixed, i can once again use the htc sync
[EVO 4G Android Development] ricsim78:
Weird but at least it is working. :confused:
[EVO 4G Android Development] cmart4:
wireless tether app works fine, just tested my wifes pre with it and connected with slacker/espn just fine. great rom btw
[EVO 4G Android Development] khshapiro:
it is , maybe because i jump around to a lot of different roms , like my busybox issue ( that was going to drive me insane with out my data!).... either way i havent a clue , maybe i corrupted something on my computer along the way? who knows but its working now :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] ricsim78:
Glad it is working for you, the fact it works for me, you, and a few other people tell me that the cause may well be either incorrect configuration or the fact that Tethering is still in experimental stages for the Evo.

Thank you and I am glad you like my ROM. It is a personal victory every time someone says that they enjoy my ROM and are finding use out of it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] method115:
The download link doesn't seem to be working.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ricsim78:
For which?

There is two links for my ROM, the main download and the mirror. Try the other one if the main is not working.

Most other downloads also have mirrors. That probably means too many other people are downloading right now.

I hope you have no more download issues.
[EVO 4G Android Development] method115:
The links working now. Thanks.
[EVO 4G Android Development] verusevo:
Just DL and installed on my EVO coming from Fresh 3.3. Unfortunately the market app does not seem to work when connected to 4g. I can DL from market over wifi but if i turn on 4G i cant DL anything even if i turn off 4G and go back to wifi unless I reebot. I also tried the Google Talk app trick and that did didly squat as well. Even that app says it cant connect to network. 4G itself works fine, i can get speeds of almost 10mbs on speedtest.net app while on 4g, but DL apps are a no go.
[EVO 4G Android Development] dezel29:
ty for the idea on the tether fix...will reflash the rom and try it...this is the first rom i have ever tryd that tethering didnt work for me...sometimes i have to switch around to differnet releases but it has always worked...will give ur idea a try..ty
[EVO 4G Android Development] ricsim78:
Well, as far as download problems, the kernel is more responsible for that than the ROM is.

You may need to update PRL on both 3G and when you are connected to 4G. I noticed that something when I have market download issues, either clearing the data on the market app, or just starting and re-stopping the downloads make them work eventually.

Try all three and let me know. I didn't do anything with the kernel that would cause the 4G download problems, just added some tweaks that have nothing to do with the kernel's connection to anything.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ricsim78:
Wireless tether is still in the development stage for the Evo as of now.

I was thinking that maybe there is something I needed to add to my ROM that helped it work, but it is working for me and a few other people, seems to work about 50%.

I did not see anything else in a few ROMS I dissected that stood out for me (as far as something that deals with tethering). There is a chance that maybe I did not add something that needs to be in place, but it is working fine for me (Pre9, Pre7, and Pre 6 all work with my phone and my girlfriend's laptop.)

I am doing what I can to fix it, I sent a message to a few ROM makers and asked them. I did a Google and XDA search and I have turned up nothing as of now.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ricsim78:
Well, I figured out what was causing the wireless tether issues for some.

I just re-cooked and I am going to re-upload my ROM. When the fixed main download and mirror are ready to go, I will mark it as **Fixed Tether issue**. This way you will know you are getting the updated version with the tethering fix.

I am glad I was able to figure it out by looking through my ROM, seems there was a certain directory in the /data folder I was missing.

Sorry for the troubles but hopefully the main issue people were having with my ROM will be taken out for good.

The new download will also have the DSP Manager thrown in with it, it will install itself in data/app and can be uninstalled if you do not want it. Also Calkulin's USB tether fix will be added, meaning you should also be able to tether with the USB cable as well.

I am really glad I was able to figure it out. Still weird it worked for some and not others.

[EVO 4G Android Development] Novarider:
Vaelek had the same problem with wireless tether not working. He posted a version of WT that works on this rom to. Just letting people know that don't want to re flash the rom. You can download the WT app from the vaelpak rom thread
[EVO 4G Android Development] masbirdies:
Tried this ROM on a whim.....

Just bored and wanted to mix it up. Was loving myn's 2.2 but....the battery life on RLS 2 was awful for me.

Been sporting this ROM since this afternoon and first impressions are VERY GOOD...in fact, excellent.

Need to run it a couple of days to know for sure but very impressed.

Nice work!!! I will contribute if I stay with it as I suspect I will.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ricsim78:
Alright, thanks to Novarider we will all have wireless tethering fix.

Rather than having to download a whole new version, here is a fix that Vaelek used for this ROM. It will work with my ROM and any other ROM that is having issues with Wireless tethering.

Apparently there is a Tun.ko that needs to be in the Framework-Res.jar that my ROM is missing. This is why I missed it when I cooked the ROM..

I am still going to be uploading a slightly updated version of my ROM, but use this fix for any others having problems with wireless tethering.

Thanks to Vaelek for the fix, Novarider for the information.

Updating first post to list the fix. Yes finally!
[EVO 4G Android Development] ricsim78:
For the Wireless tether fix, please see HERE

Follow the instructions and enjoy!

Novarider: Thank you posted for you on the first page for helping us slay this annoying problem. Major thanks!
[EVO 4G Android Development] iknowsquat:
It works!!

I had Hotspot functioning but I just couldn't pass up an opportunity to test ;)

Just a little FYI-for those that have Wireless Tethering Pre-9 already installed-you may have to uninstall first as this is another version of Pre-9.

Astro read the new apk as Installed even though it wasnt so initially my only option was to uninstall.

So I uninstalled then immediately installed the VaelPak edition and voila!

Thanks Bro!
[EVO 4G Android Development] ricsim78:
Good to hear, I will update the instructions to mention uninstalling previous versions of wireless tethering first.

Your most welcome, enjoy!
[EVO 4G Android Development] ricsim78:
Confirmed, 5 people have messaged me letting me know that the wireless tethering issue is fixed! I am very happy to have that problem behind me.

I am making a minor update, Azrael v2.21. You can read the update notes and decide whether or not you want to run the new version or not. I think it is worth downloading even for current users because it has some good updates and is even faster!

I highly suggest anyone new to my ROM use the newer version. I will have it available to download tomorrow.

Thanks again Novarider for helping me with this issue. Major kudos!
[EVO 4G Android Development] foresure84:
hey riscism is their an particular reason you changed the lock bar and dock bar on the 2.2 from the 2.1 i loved the 2.1 version mad my evo screen look massive everything flowed down through the whole phone.. just asking .... love this rom still cant get htc syn to work but i'm in this rom till the end EXCELLENT WORK my friend
[EVO 4G Android Development] ricsim78:
All you have to do to make it look like 2.1 is download the Manup theme and the font (both on first page) and it will look exactly like 2.1 did. I made it so you can make it look how you want, my themes are safe for the ROM (they do not take out the animations, wallpapers, or boot animation).

I am very glad you like it, wait until you try 2.21!
[EVO 4G Android Development] ricsim78:
**Azrael 2.21 ready for download**

Wait until you try THIS version. I rebuilt it completely from scratch. For a list of changes please see the first post on this thread.

The wireless tether issues should be in the past now. Enjoy!
[EVO 4G Android Development] beatblaster:
Here....

In case you get bored, you can use the attached files to create a custom splash screen to go with your ROM. You know, to kinda keep the dark theme going from start to finish.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ricsim78:
I will definitely check it out, even with my not so wonderful drawing skills, I made a custom bootanimation but for this ROM but could not get it it work right, I followed all the instructions but it was just a black screen so I abandoned it for now and was planning on throwing it in later if I could get it to work.

I am not happy with the current boot animation, it is nice but too bright and yes, does not follow the theme of the ROM at all. Thanks man. I currently use Calkulin's black background/white lettering Splash but being able to do whatever you want is nice. Thank you very much for this!

The fact we know each other is pretty crazy, have to throw that out there lol.
[EVO 4G Android Development] beatblaster:
haha yeah man. Life's a trip! It's rad how the Internet can cause people to find each other after 10 or 12 years. Trippy! OK, first thing I learned the hard way - Titanium Backup will kick you back to the boot animation when you try to restore anything. This problem can be fixed by opening Titanium Backup then clicking the Problems? button and then clicking the Yes, Do It button.

More feedback to come.

EDIT: I just remembed Vaelek is dealing with this same problem on his ROM too so you might want to check with him to see if he found a solution for it yet. I think he took his project off of XDA but he has a link to his site in the OP of his thread.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ricsim78:
With Titanium backup, always check for the latest version and let it download Busybox 1.60. Even though the one included with my ROM is (I believe) the latest BusyBox version, it does not work right with TB. Mine does not kick me back to the bootanimation, but TB will just force close on me if I do not go to "Problems?" and get Busybox 1.60.

I was going to ask one of the ROM makers who made their custom animations work if they knew what I was doing wrong. I tried imitating a few (as far as what screen resolution and desc information they used was) and still ran into the black screen problem.

I have an idea of what may be wrong. Does anyone know if a bootanimation has to be in a signed zip? Or can you just package it in a regular zip file and it is good to go?

I will have to ask in Q&A and see what I get. Thanks for your feedback and by all means enjoy the ROM. I think you will appreciate some of the ringtones (since you like MODS and Castlevania). :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] Trident:
I don't know what the difference is, but this ROM

works

with all the apps that wouldn't install in my other favorites! Google Maps, Google Search, Street View... they all installed first time.

I have no idea how the Market and/or ROM is able to install most of my items after a wipe.... I even have used different Gmail accounts to sign in. I only have to install a few things with these new ROMs. Amazing.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ricsim78:
Very good to hear, I think the reason why some are having trouble is because the ROM makers are signing the apps, this makes them difficult to upgrade/change/remove. Why they do that, I have no idea but it causes the exact problems you speak of.

That is why it is also good to enable data/app functionality. The programs are a lot easier to work with compared to when they are in system/app.

Thanks for the feedback and glad you like it! :D
[EVO 4G Android Development] Trident:
Are you finding that the #10 KxK kernel is working well for you?

I also wanted you to know that I really liked your choice of apps to install/uninstall.

Only thing I wanted to add so far was a widget that showed battery percentage more accurately. 12.5% increments doesn't do it for me. But I like the look of the icon. It fits in well.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ricsim78:
KK10 CFS works good for me, my Evo seems to hate BFS kernels for some reason. I am testing Netarchy 4.19 CFS and can confirm it also works good with this ROM (at least on this Evo.) As far as which is better, I cannot tell but they both work well for me. I have not done any speed tests or anything but both are snappy, have similar features, and battery life is good. I think the stock kernel is a bit better actually (as far as battery life and not by much), but then you miss out on other goodies (audio tweaks, multi-touch, etc.)

The problem might be that you need to reset your battery stats, please go to my guide at the bottom of my sig and look there, it is around the bottom. There might be some good information for you there as well, I recommend everyone check it out and feel free to contribute to it as well :).

I have found this battery indicator to work properly actually, it shows the same percentage as the software information screen in the Settings. What I like is adding the percentage widget also adds the spinning sync icon at the top, rather than the stationary one.

Sounds to me like you need to recalibrate your battery software and you should be good to go. If you find otherwise, please let me know and I will do some investigating. If it is not working well then I will have to find another battery indicator to cook into the next Azrael. The goal of this ROM is to not only be custom, but to also work 100% with everything.
[EVO 4G Android Development] VDub2174:
I can't wait to get home to try this out. It looks great!!

Question: When you say everything works, that includes 4G right?
[EVO 4G Android Development] ricsim78:
Thank you, yes 4G works just fine. I have tested this ROM for a week before I released it and everything is functional (worked on it for a month overall, but it has been in close to the same state it is in now for a week.)

Then only thing I cannot test is the HDMI (no cable) but I can assure that it works as well. It is based off a stock ROM, so there should be no problems that are not caused by other things (incomplete wipes, recovery borked, etc.)
[EVO 4G Android Development] VDub2174:
Awesome!! I'm not really worried about the HDMI cause I never use that.....lol I really like the Reaper wallpaper too.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Novarider:
If you could post the wallpaper of the guy with the sword that would be SWEET!! I really like that wallpaper
[EVO 4G Android Development] VDub2174:
Ok, so I wouldn't be me if I didn't have another dumb question.....lol

What do the MMS mods do?
[EVO 4G Android Development] ricsim78:
Mods the MMS :p

One fixes the compression used on larger pictures sent through MMS. The other fixes the 5MB limit of MMS messages.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Trident:
A little bit of constructive input. Maybe in your next update, you could include the modified power/reboot menu?

I just flashed one to add it in- I used one I found cuz I couldn't find the first one that I know works.

I also just flashed KK#10CFS. We shall see.
[EVO 4G Android Development] VDub2174:
Flashed this last night (along with the modded keyboard) and I love it so far!!!!!
[EVO 4G Android Development] Trident:
I never even looked at the keyboard- but now the download is unavailable. Any mirrors?

Or a screen-shot to see what I'm missing?
[EVO 4G Android Development] VDub2174:
Here's a screen shot of the keyboard:
[EVO 4G Android Development] Novarider:
That its one sexy keyboard!
[EVO 4G Android Development] ricsim78:
Hey everyone, good news!

Azrael 2.1 is coming out in a couple of days (maybe tomorrow night!). Some new things I already have working:

-SNQ's 3 in one Reboot option mod (I had a request for this, I removed Quickboot because it is no longer needed)

-Updated Titanium Backup to the newest version.

-Updated XDA to the newest version

-Added Apps2SD, Adobe Reader (latest), Astro File manager, Rhythm Uninstaller, and Cache Cleaner.

-Changed battery indicator to the Manup version (white version of the normal battery indicator). I did this because I got some problems with the Smooth one and I don't want any problems. If you want a different one, you can go ahead and flash it yourself :)

-Custom Boot animation added

-A couple more wallpapers and maybe notification sounds and ring tones added.

That it what I have working so far, more will be done possibly by the time I release it. I promise you version 2.1 will be even better than 2.0.
[EVO 4G Android Development] foresure84:
the only thing i would like personally that is just me is an android battery icon.. but man this rom is a bangger cant what till 2.21
[EVO 4G Android Development] ricsim78:
Thank you, I think you will appreciate the update!

The only problem I would have implementing the battery icon would be the fact that themes tend to change the battery icon. In other words, if I cooked in that icon you want, but you later decided to switch themes....you guessed it. No more Android battery icon.

If you liked the look of Azrael 2.1 would you like me to cook you a version of the Manup theme with that battery icon included within? I can offer it to you and anyone else who would rather have the Android battery icon.

Let me know if this is what you want me to do. Enjoy 2.21! I think it is even better than 2.2 and I redid it from scratch again.
[EVO 4G Android Development] foresure84:
thnx man

that would be perfect for me
[EVO 4G Android Development] aaron130:
AWESOME!! downloading now!! Thx for all ur hard work man will let u know how it goes.
[EVO 4G Android Development] dezel29:

Azeral carbon fiber Rom is sweet. But having f.c. issue with Google email. Only on the actual app. Can access it thru Sprint email app.
[EVO 4G Android Development] blueblur:
Heyya!

Been trying 2.2 since you released it and by far is it the most responsive rom I've used so far (coming from baked snacks, fresh and burnt droid) using kings #11 kernel. Great job!

I'm going to wait a little bit until going to 2.21 because its so annoying to have to redo the whole rom (I save all my text msgs, 8000+) and it takes forever to restore the texts..not a design flaw of your rom but rather how mybackup pro works..

THANKS again for an awesome ROM!
