[EVO 4G Android Development] ricsim78:
Hey everyone,

Sorry if it seems like I have not been around a lot lately, but I have been hard at work with the next version my my ROM.

Expect the new ROM to be available by Friday at the latest, maybe sooner :D

Here are some little changes:

Azrael is no longer going to be the name of the ROM, Azrael is going to be a theme.

The new ROM is going to still have the same super fast base as Azrael (so don't worry about that!)

The new ROM is going to be designed to appeal to a much wider audience. The ROM itself comes rather plain Jane; the stock wallpapers (but ping optimized versions to cut down the size drastically) and stock transitions will be cooked in.

The current wallpapers and transitions will be flash-able addons. You will actually have a few choices with that (different wallpapers and transitions).

The boot animation will be cool, but not "Evil" or "scary" in nature. You can always switch it out to whichever you prefer but the cooked in one is nice as well :)

That is all I am revealing right now. I am working on the ROM now, I will try and also show up here every few hours, at least a few times a day. Once this ROM is finished you can expect the same support I have always given.

You haven't seen anything yet :)

Hi, this rom has been flawless up till today. The clock and weather widget is a little messed up. The clock widget is stuck at the same time as when I restarted the phone, however, the clock in the upper right hand corner is correct. Also the weather is faded out, its there but faded. when this started happening I remember that ricsim said to wipe cache every 3-4 days I was like hmm maybe thats the problem. So I wiped restarted and still get the same problem. Also I dont know if anyone uses friend stream, but when I went to use it it just kept saying loading. Any help is appreciated. Thanks Nate
[EVO 4G Android Development] ricsim78:
It has be a kernel or theme causing that problem. The ROM itself is basically a tweaked version of the OTA so there is nothing programmed in the ROM to mess with the clock or Friendstream.

Are you overclocking or anything?

My guess is you are using a kernel not good for your phone or you put a theme over the ROM that is messing with the functions of your phone.
[EVO 4G Android Development] blueblur:
I think these are all great!!! Love the rom. Still on 2.2 here but will wait til Friday for your new one.. It's a perfect daily driver for me!!
[EVO 4G Android Development] rockky:
New Rom

Sounds like... on Friday... if flashing new mine'd end up being the same as I have now as I'd flash the same addons I presently have cause I'm really happy with all as is!! ... Might not change lol.. unless there's a different build or something like that.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ginseng3:
Thanks for all the hard work Low. Yes I had posted this before. Gmail and the theme also kills Remote Wav which allows you to play VM through gmail.

I was forced to uninstall the theme.

TY Gin
[EVO 4G Android Development] jimbobtexas:
Which begs the question: how do you uninstall a theme? Since I installed LowRider, Gmail won't send. Go figure.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ricsim78:
Sticking with the current is fine...but not recommended by me. You are also incorrect when you say it is no different. Considering it is using a different base, and you have no idea what else I am doing to it, you will be missing out :)

The new one is going to be a completely different animal and use a better base for people with Hardware version 0003 (most of us, including me).

You can always stick with Azrael if you choose, but I think you will find it is better to use the newest version.
[EVO 4G Android Development] rde34:
Unfortunately, you have to flash your backup (here's hoping you backed up before installing theme) and go from there.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ricsim78:
Just re-flash the ROM after clearing cache and Dalvik. You will have to re-flash your kernel too because reflashing my ROM will also restore the cooked in (HTC #10 kernel)one.

Next time, you might want to Nandroid before you install a theme. This way if the theme breaks anything, you can go back to your previous setup.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jimbobtexas:
Thanks, guys. Yes, I did a Nandroid before I installed, but it's been over a day since I noticed the side-effect. I didn't want to go back in time.

I'll just re-flash the ROM. That's way easier.

Killer ROM, BTW, ricsim. Gracias. Six-pack on the way...
[EVO 4G Android Development] flomexico:
I love this rom but even with the browser fix, I'm still getting FCs. Any ideas?
[EVO 4G Android Development] starkillers:
Hey Rick Rom is running fantastic and definitely looking forward to seeing what you got coming on Friday. Question I have is since updating to the new 3.30 base and new kernel the video recording in 720 mode has been fixed , no stuttering or dropping frames anymore. Not sure if its the new kernel that fixed this or the new 3.30 base. Will your new Rom still incorporate the video camera fix?
[EVO 4G Android Development] DaddieDiesel:
Have seen posted on other threads that the camera fix is from the 3.30 base
[EVO 4G Android Development] starkillers:
If the camera fix is from base 3.30, I hope Rick, that the new Rom would be based on this as I think we would all hate going back to stuttering video shooting in hd.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ricsim78:
Just a little update.

New ROM is 98% done!

Testing is underway and setting everything up for Friday.

Wait until you try this new one out!

'Nuff said for now. The proof is in the putting and you will see for yourselves. I think if you like my current ROM, you will love this one!
[EVO 4G Android Development] rockky:
Awesome... any hints!?
[EVO 4G Android Development] ricsim78:
yes...it is awesome, slightly faster, and better! hehe :D
[EVO 4G Android Development] photocycle:
Such a teaser! *sigh*

(I just got this ROM monday night and I'm loving it - spent a number of hours customizing it... only to have to do it again this friday LOL)
[EVO 4G Android Development] xlGmanlx:
try flashing the ROM over itself again without wiping or pulling it out of the zip file and pushing via ADB
[EVO 4G Android Development] MJStephens:
Anyone having any issues with LauncherPro on this ROM? I'm getting a lot of FC's. I cant backup or restore any settings. It keeps telling me to make sure my SD card is available. I even formatted the damn thing. Then it randomly deletes or moves my apps/widgets on my home screens. Everything else seems to work well though.
[EVO 4G Android Development] DaddieDiesel:
did you follow the OP and wipe all x2 then flash the rom.

Then let it boot up all the way. Then flash launcher pro?

It might be something leftover from previous rom,or bad download

of LP. What theme are you using? Various reasons for

such odd behavior. When you formatted your sd card did you format correctly?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Visionikz03:
wat processes are tied into "com.htc.bgp"? I always make a habit to remove additional unwanted apps nd widgets to free up more room on the system partition but apparently something i removed on this rom in particular is force closing "com.htc.bgp" i know it has to do with your calendar as i looked at the running services initiated by "com.htc.bgp" but i never removed anything affiliated to the calendar that im aware of. It hasnt affected anything within the rom to my knowledge its just annoying that it pops every so often... im assuming it pops up whenever the program or service it's trying to initiate is not responding bc its absent from the rom... any way to capture details of a fc? Im sure there is...
[EVO 4G Android Development] EvoNotEvil:
I personally like the idea of you changing the name and having all the theming wallpapers as a choice. In fact, Im now excited to try your new rom! Any chance you would consider the clear sexie rosie and app and/or dialer/contacts as in myns 2.2 rls 3?
[EVO 4G Android Development] ricsim78:
All I will say is you will see Friday what I am able to come up with. I can say I refuse to do what anyone else does (at least not in whole).

My ROM will be customized in it's own way, I am sure you will appreciate what I have done to it.

I just do not want to give much away. Besides, less than 2 days ago before a full release :)

The wait will be worth it :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] clavoie26:
I hope you can get the new ota update in it by fridays release. This is the very best Rom out there. I love this Rom Thanks
[EVO 4G Android Development] ricsim78:
Well, here is a quick preview of the new ROM with the Azrael theme applied :)

Just enough to give you a little preview. Let me tell you, this ROM is smoking fast too. Plus, my first theme :) It isn't radical, but it works perfect and is optimized like the ROM itself.
[EVO 4G Android Development] catseyenu:
Did you mean to leave the name in there?

I've sat here for the last 30 minutes dreaming up names before I refreshed & saw your post.

I suppose Lego was already taken. :D
[EVO 4G Android Development] ricsim78:
Yep, thought the little subtle hint would be caught by someone :)

I was debating on keeping it there or not but hey, why not?

I do see there is a new OTA looming, I am wondering if it is best if I wait until it drops before I release my ROM....decisions decisions.

I am going to release this Friday as planned and maybe tomorrow if I can manage it :)

Worse case, I may have to do an update for the new OTA base but at least you can start checking out the new ROM in the meantime.

How do you like the look of it so far?

Edit: The reason behind the name is because I also make soundfonts for the computer and I have a soundfont called "OmegaGMGS" because it is both General Midi and General Sound compatible. I am thinking of putting up a website with both my ROM and soundfont on it in the future. Do not worry, I will never charge for it though (hehe).

For any who want to know what a soundfont is, it is a collection of instrument samples and is used to playback midi files (which are generally played by midi sequencers or keyboards). Creative Labs sound cards have long used soundfonts for midi files.
[EVO 4G Android Development] starkillers:
If I'm not mistaken I believe somebody just posted the new ota. I have no problem waiting if you can cook it in.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ricsim78:
Well, it is interesting.

I check out the file posted on here and it is all Mickey Mouse to me (cannot make heads or tails of it!)

Another weird thing: My phone offered to install the OTA update so I tried it with my 003 (Epson) version Evo (bought in July) and it failed and gave me an installation aborted error?

Maybe it is exclusively for new Evos and not for the older ones? Very strange. The OTA is under 7 MB too.
[EVO 4G Android Development] starkillers:
Yeah I saw my phone offered me an update as well. I didn't accept it because I didn't want to risk losing root. Weird though if its for only new Evos why would it come to our units. My Evo was also purchased July.
[EVO 4G Android Development] catseyenu:
The new hardware issues (changed camera sensor & possible bad chips?) as well as the new H-Boot has me concerned.

I'm chomping at the bit now but I'll wait to see what they are throwing at us before I jump. I'm a better safe than sorry player.

Love the clean look & new battery indicator, I like what goes into your Roms under the surface even more.

The bottom line is the clean functionality, if a phone is erroring out with FC's it doesn't matter what it looks like or how fast it might go.

Form follows function, once that is done right the rest is icing on the cake.
[EVO 4G Android Development] starkillers:
The following is from Sprint website regarding the new ota update. "Note: This update is only for newer devices with initial software version of 3.30.651.2. If you are running a different version than this, you will not receive this update and do not need it.

This update fixes power cycling issue when accessing the camera through some applications, like Qik, on devices running version 3.30.651.2 only."
[EVO 4G Android Development] ricsim78:
Yes, but the new kernel seems to be working quite nice... :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] starkillers:
I don't follow, is there a new kernel in this update?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Novarider:
I have a suggestion/request in your new rom can you remove the gps icon when it's not in use please. I know its possible there are a couple roms that have it. I think its a stupid waste of space to tell me gps is turned off.
[EVO 4G Android Development] photocycle:
Agreed, that would be pretty sweet.
[EVO 4G Android Development] thundley:
Diddo that!
[EVO 4G Android Development] jjohn1095:
One day closer to the new release. I can't wait......
[EVO 4G Android Development] Ky772:
Why is my Wimax so slow? I'm only getting like 150 kbps.. That's slower than my 3G.

I keep reading about amon_ra recovery but don't know where to get it? Is it possible to flash a new radio via clockwork? If not, can someone please help me with how to get and install amon_ra?

Thanks.
[EVO 4G Android Development] starkillers:
Any chance we will see his with the new update cooked in?
[EVO 4G Android Development] dongator7:
how do you perform a full wipe?

and are we suppose to rename the zip file to PC36IMG?

Mine doesn't seem to read it and ask me to flash
[EVO 4G Android Development] iknowsquat:
Boot into recovery and do a factory reset, then wipe Dalvik. (Cache is wiped when you do a factory reset). Do each one twice. If you have an SD partion wipe that as well.

IMO you should be using among RA recovery as Clockwork from ROM Manager may not wipe correctly.

Once clean you just select flash zip from SD. No need to change the file name.
[EVO 4G Android Development] dongator7:
i managed to do the wipe but..problem is, I'm not even rooted. i tried following a guide to gain root access and didn't work out since the pc36img i downloaded was outdated..

and whats the link to amon ra recovery?

I have hboot 0.97.0000
[EVO 4G Android Development] khshapiro:
dongator,

sorry your in the wrong thread, get into a how to root your evo thread or your going to make this thread even long with unrelated information to this rom.

Ricsim78 i know friday is only a day away BUT will your new rom remap the right hot key to make it a browser key instead of a settings key? :-)
[EVO 4G Android Development] khshapiro:
nevermind, found this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=797688
[EVO 4G Android Development] vanessaem:
Hey Rick, just curious, I know you're coming out with something new tomorrow but will you be incorporating the new 3.30.651.3 update in your ROM in the future? I got one of those OTA notices from Sprint about this update. I didn't download it because I don't want to lose my root or mess stuff up.
[EVO 4G Android Development] nukedukem:
I don't want to detract from this great ROM, but why do people want these 3.30.+ updates like the one that came out today? I would venture to guess that most people have an older EVO, so what is the point of flashing a ROM that was designed for another phone? If HTC was coming out with improvements that were not phone specific, don't you think that they would release an update for everyone? I don't think these updates do anything but add software and bug fixes for new phones with certain hardware characteristics.
[EVO 4G Android Development] starkillers:
Hey Nuke, in my case I can without a doubt tell you that since using the 3.30 base in this rom my video recording has been great and battery much improved via the newer kernal. I used to get stuttering and dropped frames before on all previous bases... Since 3.30 its been all fixed. And I wouldn't always count on the handset makers to fix bugs... (although I will admit HTC has been good...) That is why we are all here trusting that the amazing work of guys like Rick and xda developers to fix the bugs and make our phones better.
[EVO 4G Android Development] GadgetMonger:
Plus 1 on this. I didn't see any changes in my camera and my battery life sucked with the new base. Reverted back to stock #11 kernel and my evo is running much better.
[EVO 4G Android Development] xlGmanlx:
Stay on topic, there is at least three threads all kernels all day
[EVO 4G Android Development] GadgetMonger:
Well that was kind of a wasted post... what's that guys problem? If he doesn't like the topic he just shouldn't post.:D

Racism78 think you can start a new thread with the new Rom , it would be easier to read up on problems and this thread is getting a little long if anyone was starting from scratch. Just a thought

Maybe but not now. I am busy trying to set everything up.

Downloading with my phone also. Only on 3g tho.

Will the other themes work on omega? I like the lowrider theme
[EVO 4G Android Development] ricsim78:
Why don't you try the new theme? It is small and made to compliment my ROM perfectly.

You can do as you please and I am sure the themes will work. But themes also tend to break things. My theme doesn't mess with any of the apps :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] Novarider:
Oh i plan on trying your theme I was just curious if they worked like with azreal where they didn't mess stuff up
[EVO 4G Android Development] khshapiro:
Is the new Rom based off myn's?
[EVO 4G Android Development] starkillers:
Can we flash this on top of your last Rom? If yes, what do we need to wipe?
[EVO 4G Android Development] ralg0528:
Oh Yeah!!! downloading now. Thank you again ricsim, I appreciate your work.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ricsim78:
Not one bit.

New one is made from the newest OTA base and has the same tweaks as Azrael (maybe more :D)

I NEVER base my ROMS off someone else's work.
[EVO 4G Android Development] VDub2174:
:eek:

We can do that?!?!?!?!

LMAO!!!!!

It's RICSIM btw :p
[EVO 4G Android Development] iknowsquat:
I tried it with the latest stock kernel which you said you had success with and which has worked for me on other ROMs.

This is a complete shot in the dark but I know OMJ had issues getting tether and apps2SD to coexist on his ROM.

I know you have App 2 SD included which is different than apps2SD but I wonder if the base you used has the boot image set up to use apps2SD?

Like I said its a Hail Mary at best and not likely to be the issue or everyone would be having the issue and not just 3 of us but just thought I'd throw that out there.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ricsim78:
Tested on my PC (Running Windows 7 64-Bit) and my grilfriend's laptop running Windows XP.

Working: Burned in version, Pre8, Pre9

I am using King's #11 CFS kernel
[EVO 4G Android Development] ricsim78:
Very odd, because we are running the same ROM and everything should be the same.

Try a different kernel and see if it works. Let me know please. This is quite odd to say the least lol.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jayrizz:
I have already downloaded your Azrael 2.1 and was gonna ask what Kernel you were using and i see the link but got lost after that couldn't find where to download KingxKernel CFS #11 all i found was # 1 and #2

Thanks in advance!!
[EVO 4G Android Development] jayrizz:
I found it it only took about 20 min lol now im ready to flash Azrael 2.1 KingxKernel CFS #11 real excited bout this!

YOU GUYS ARE GREAT AT WHAT YOU DO KEEP IT UP!!:)
[EVO 4G Android Development] iknowsquat:
Glad you found it! King changed his links so it does take a bit of navigation.

ricsim-I will work on the tether issue and report back.

If you want to update your Kingklick kernel link with this one it may make it easier:

[EVO 4G Android Development] crisra:
Is there any solution for wireless tether?
[EVO 4G Android Development] jayrizz:
Thanks that link is the one i found off a google lol. I didnt read the other threads on the Tether but i see my WIFI tethering is not working showing connected but no internet access but I guess you already new that lol. Thanks again and will keep playing around with this Rom i really like it. Another thing I have seen when using SetCPU is when I max out my phone it crashed:confused: I keep min to 245 and max right now is 1190 I don't want to go any higher or it will crash any thoughts on that?

OHH and love the app to sd:D
[EVO 4G Android Development] iknowsquat:
Still working on it, stay tuned. I will say if ricsim ISNT seeing the issue then it will be tricky to "fix".

Despite the kernels overclocking limit each device will have its own limit, sometimes lower than what the kernel can handle. Figuring it out is simply trial and error. I don't OC currently but when I did I very frequently hit that 119 ceiling.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jayrizz:
Thanks for the input im not really seeing a big difference besides my quadrant score its already quick as is so I may just go back to default. I know on this ROM the FPS is unlocked is there a app to really see what i can push the FPS or atleast see what is my max?
[EVO 4G Android Development] iknowsquat:
Im sure there are others but I use Fps2D, free in the Market.

FPS is not "tweakable" on our end afaik but it will let you see how you are running.

Fyi-its the kernel that has fps unlocked, not the ROM :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] jayrizz:
Thanks iknowsquat big help:D
[EVO 4G Android Development] crisra:
When the theter is fixed this will be the perfect ROM.
