Not saying it was your Rom, Rick. Most likely something installed from the market perhaps, or a corrupted app. Was just asking if anyone else might have seen this happen before.

What could have messed with the Init.d script? Could installing a kernel do that? Because as mentioned earlier, the one #15 HTC kernel one of the folks here sent me was not signed, and had broken my WiFi and 4G. Or could the new Amon Ra 2.11 recovery have dome something weird?

My options would be to either go back to an earlier nand b/u, or do a complete fresh AZ 3.0 install. But if 3.1 is coming soon enough, then will just wait till then.

***EDIT***

Looks like you answered my problem while I was typing this message. Will go with the 3.1 option!

Will any 3.70 bases theme be installable? Or will we need to wait for Rip & Slayer to catch up?

And as always, thank you for your great work, Rick!

I've tried a large number of ROMs (as have most of us I think!) and this one was one of the fastest and slickest. At this point my top two are Azrael X and Myn's. I've been very anxious to see the next AXv3 release, can't wait to download it.

Great Rom, no complaints so far....ive used cm for awhile and had to go back to sense, so i could use 4g.

Suggestion : A Vertical 4d app drawer would be badass with this rom
[EVO 4G Android Development] WrlsFanatic:
I love the work you're doing and appreciate it greatly, but is there any way to get screenshots? There are dozens of EVO ROMs out there and while yours is interesting, I don't feel like installing just to see what it looks like.

Thanks in advance!

I'm running Azreal X 3.0, with Riptide9's latest v13, with a bunch of Slayer69's Mods, & a modified power control widget in the taskbar & I do not have the 4G on @ boot issues. The only "bug" I've had with this combo is that my Sense clock's weather location has not updated since I flashed everything & set it up.

Downloading the new Rom straight to my EVO at work. Do I need to wipe or just flash from 3.0 ?

Been letting the wife play Sims 3 on my phone to resist the urge to flash something, anything... free at last, free at last!!! B-)

Downloading now. Quick question what would be the best/safest way to remove Sense from a ROM?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Helton566:
Azrael

Is there any reason you are not running MikFroyo are your base rom?
[EVO 4G Android Development] ricsim78:
Why the hell would I use Mikfroyo as a base when this is my own ROM? Using someone else's work is lame to me...I would rather do my own thing.

I am sure Mikfroyo is awesome. But this is my work and my idea of what a ROM should be. If you like his ideas better, by all means please use Mikfroyo.

I always recommend a full wipe, it just ensures a clean system. I would recommend it for sure.
[EVO 4G Android Development] robpet2:
ROM flashed good without a wipe but my apps on my card in the ext partition are not showing.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ricsim78:
Apps on your SD Ext?

This does not use Darktremor's Apps2SD so that is not a ROM problem. I did not set this ROM to delete the SD:Ext either.
[EVO 4G Android Development] vanessaem:
Oh joy....Imagine my frustration when I installed the spanking new Azrael X v3.1 ROM and got that same 4G on bootup bug.

Ok, I did a full wipe: wiped data, cache, Dalvik, SD Ext., flashed the ROM, and booted up. No 4G on boot. Ok then I flashed the netarchy kernel and booted up. No 4G on boot. So those two things weren't the problem. Then I did my Titanium restore. All apps were put back onto my phone. I rebooted then got the 4G on by default again. So as mentioned, some app was triggering this.

I looked through all my apps and there was nothing that I installed that really needed or used 4G, except for the Wireless Tether app. So I uninstalled it, rebooted the phone and voila, on bootup, no 4G. So I found the culprit. However, there was something wrong with the Wireless Tether app on my phone to begin with because even though I had the most up-to-date one, I was constantly being told to update it. When I would try to update, I was always given an error message. Anyway, I reinstalled the Wireless Tether app from the market, rebooted and now I'm no longer getting the 4G on bootup issue.

Sorry for the long-winded, dramatic reenactment of all that took place but I'm kinda psyched that I found the solution to the problem and now everything is running smoothly again. :D

[EVO 4G Android Development] heylailaa:
Would someone be so kind and provide screenshots? I am most interested as to how the home screen looks and any other visual mods. I am not interested in folks customizations using ADW just my IMO.

I am currently on MikFroyo and its pretty nice.. however I'm always down for improvements. Thanks in advance... =)

This new ROM is your best yet. I'm about to flash netarchy-toastmod-4.3-bfs-havs-more-sbc-universal-signed.zip since that was working great on X 3.0.

Did you check that thread out? You can remove all the language resources from .apks and perhaps improve launch times a bit. That's worth looking into.
[EVO 4G Android Development] GadgetMonger:
Silky smooth so far Rick... One thing though, you forgot to pull Nascar. :p Its in my app drawer (well was:D) and in removed apps.

Another question I was going to ask was do you remove flash_image from system/bin on purpose or is it a side effect of something else? Was trying to flash Amon Ras new recovery through adb while on Azrael 3.0 and it not being there threw me for a loop. Checked 3.1 and its not there either. No biggie, Ive got a flashable zip for it now. Just curious....
[EVO 4G Android Development] mhaner:
As usual you nailed it. I've tried pretty much every other ROM on the board and I always end up back with yours. If I have any money left after payday I'll send what I can your way. Thanks again man.
[EVO 4G Android Development] vanessaem:
Hey Ric, at your earliest convenience, can you please put the screenies back on the first post. As you can see, new people are interested in your ROM and are interested in checking it out. A lot of us have been using your ROM for a while and are quite familiar with it but others are not.

Ok so I downloaded 3.1 tonite and its awesome as always!!! But one question is there a way to get the older amon ra 1.8 back on cause I flashed. ROM manager from the market but when I flashed back to amon I got stuck with the newest version and for some reason I can't flash the old netarchy kernel I had
[EVO 4G Android Development] GadgetMonger:
Its because the zip youre trying to flash isnt signed. Toggle signature verification and then try.
[EVO 4G Android Development] evofreak80:
Ok thanks ill try that and let you know!

[EVO 4G Android Development] GadgetMonger:
Yup. If youre still wanting to flash back to 1.8 you can download this http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=394274&d=1283491952. Put it on the root of your sdcard and rename it PC36IMG. Boot into hboot and say yes when it prompts you. Thats the easiest way.;)

Will there be a stock turbo 3.1?
[EVO 4G Android Development] R32_Rocky:
Rick, and FYI for you others wanting to theme AZ 3.1: I think I found the problems many are having with the ## codes, and possibly 4G connections.

After a fresh install of 3.1, while setting up the phone settings, when in the network settings I tested my 4G. I was able to connect fairly quickly, and stay connected albeit having a very poor signal strength. After installing Riptide's V13 theme, I was not able to connect with 4G, it kept disconnecting and back to scanning. One difference I noticed was in the full 4G settings page. Under stock AZ, just under enabling 4G it is a new setting - it says tap here to scan. After installing Rip's V13 theme, that changes back to the old checkmark setting for scanning for a 4G signal. Might be more than just a cosmetic difference?

Next, with stock AZ 3.1, the ## phone codes work, or at least the ##diag# code I tested - and did not have to press CALL. After installing Rip's theme, that was broken.

I will post this over in Rip's forum to let him know.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Helton566:
His theory makes since on the mods he made to the base. (removing extra languages)

But what do I know. I can't think of the last time I used the Chinese language.

Just a thought.
[EVO 4G Android Development] khshapiro:
If I understand Koush correctly u can't flash it no matter what you do because its written with amend and not donut. You can flash to an older version of CW when u open the app up and scroll to the bottom.

Again with my limited knowledge donut should make for smaller file sizes and possibly faster roms

Can someone post a zip file for the font in 3.1??
[EVO 4G Android Development] Jbcarrera:
why not just update?
[EVO 4G Android Development] vanessaem:
I see what you're saying. 4G using Riptide's V13 theme with Azeal 3.1 is acting a bit wonky. Do you know if this is just the case with V13 or is this the case with older Riptide themes and other themes in general?

I had to reflash Azeal 3.1 again to fix the issue. I'm without a theme now but I'm so used to a theme, the ROM looks a bit naked without one. :eek:

[EVO 4G Android Development] WrlsFanatic:
I finally flashed this last night, and it's very solid. However, I agree that you should seriously look into MikFroyo, but please hear me out on the reason:

First, MikFroyo isn't some great ROM with a ton of customizations. It's a stock ROM with a bunch of stuff stripped out: languages, low res images, etc. It's MEANT to be used as a base and not really as its own thing.

Second, I flashed this last night, and it's very solid, but for me - someone that switches from ROM to ROM at least every couple of days - your ROM is really unusable due to its massive size. With stupid Amon RA backups now being about twice the size and taking twice the time, it takes a solid 15 minutes to back up this ROM, and that's AFTER I wipe cache and Dalvik. (Mind you, I don't even use Apps2SD so I have no idea why my backups are taking THAT much longer.

For the first time ever last night I had to pull the battery during a backup. It took 20 minutes to backup your ROM - mind you, I set it up with contacts, added my Facebook and Twitter accounts, my 3 gmail accounts, and about 10 other apps, that's it vs. base - and there was no end in sight.

Really, you don't need to even use it as a base so much, I would just recommend talking to him about what steps he took to slim down his ROM and match those. Just an opinion, not trying to bash you or your ROM. I didn't use it long last night, but from what I saw your ROM was rock-solid stable. Very nice work.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jdefran:
Any one experiencing poor battery life with the stock kernel on 3.1? I've been unplugged for 3 hours and am already at 75%. All I have done is use xda app for 5 minutes, send two texts and make 2 calls. I wiped battery stats before flashing last night...
[EVO 4G Android Development] vanessaem:
I'm seeing that people in Amon_RA's posts are having some trouble with his latest v2.1.1 recovery. He's since posted a v2.2 but I'll be sticking to v1.8 until everything is sorted out.
[EVO 4G Android Development] WrlsFanatic:
This is true, but it won't change the fact that this ROM is 202MB when downloaded. There's no question that using some of MikFroyo's tactics could slim it down.
[EVO 4G Android Development] evofreak80:
Got to i toggled the signed verification and it worked i was able to flash a new kernel
[EVO 4G Android Development] alwaysbelieve1:
On all ROMs my battery drains even faster than that. I'm forced to use 3 batteries and Juice Defender.
[EVO 4G Android Development] iamsavedme30:
Yes! And a little disappointmented. Usually stock kernels aren't that fast for me but Rick was right this is really fast and smooth....but the battery is draining pretty fast.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jdefran:
I'm thinking that even netarchy's kernel with overclock and smartass governing may be more efficient...or setting some profiles with setcpu
[EVO 4G Android Development] roadkingg:
I've gone from 80 percent to 45 percent in 14 hours. Much better than the last rom. Been on 3g the whole time. I did wipe battery stats when I wiped everything else before installing. Hardware version is 0004.
[EVO 4G Android Development] iamsavedme30:
Rick, another great job on this ROM I never have any problems with your ROMS. I really wish I wasn't going to have to switch kernels.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ricsim78:
Do you know why it is bigger? Did you read the first post?

The removed apps are now included and I setup the ROM to put it on your SD card. The removed apps, add about 20 MB or so. In other words, without them, this ROM would be the same size as other versions.

That is the only reason the download is bigger. I was trying to make it more convenient for everyone. What does ROM size have to do with anything? Once installed, the apps move onto the SD card and take up a small amount of space there. They do not go into phone memory.
[EVO 4G Android Development] iamsavedme30:
Hmmm I wonder how it would act with set CPU, I'll try that first before I move on.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ricsim78:
Did you update your radios to the latest version? Downgrade the PRI to 1.77 instead of the latest (I believe it is 1.93) and your battry life will be excellent.

This is well known, the HTC #15 is excellent for me (but I do prefer the SBC Netarchy).

But humor yourself and try downgrading PRI to 1.77 and bet you will gett good battery life again. My phone is lasting basically longer than ever now. Hence my extensive testing.
[EVO 4G Android Development] iamsavedme30:
Hey Rick, I'm already at 1.77?

Question about the Sbc, do I just flash the sbc or do I need to flash the kernels then the sbc. I think that's what I dis last time and my battery life was amazing?

Going back
[EVO 4G Android Development] ricsim78:
I am having major problems trying to take screenshots using DDMS from the Android SDK. Once I get it sorted out, screen shots will be available.

They made some stupid changes to the latest SDK which make it a real headache, especially on Win 7 64-bit. It won't let me take pictures so I am trying to sort it out.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ricsim78:
It has to be something you are running, my battery life on my 0003 Evo is excellent with the HTC #15 and Azrael 3.1. It is regularly lasting me 2-3 days without a charge with normal usage, and around 9-10 hours with heavy use.

So I don't know...I can only guess because I am having good results.

Azrael X v3.1 is not radically different from 3.0, if anything it should have improved battery life or at least the same. Nothing was added and I took out the Blockbuster.apk a lot were complaining about. Plus I took out an init.d script so less startup scripts are running too.
[EVO 4G Android Development] vanessaem:
Hey, I've got more internal storage with this latest ROM. Thanks Rick.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ricsim78:
For those complaining about ROM size:

Use 7-Zip and double click on the ROM zip file. You will see an sdcard directory. Click on that and you will see an Azrael_removed folder.

Either delete that folder if you do not wish to restore those apps, or copy it manually onto your SDcard (or at least onto your computer in case). The ROM should be 17.8 MB smaller and well within the realm of previous Azrael versions. (Actually, smaller than Azrael X v3.0)

About the Mikfroyo thing:

I understand the reasoning, but let me let you in on something.

I have a life, I work, I go to school. I do not have all the time in the world to work on ROMS my every waking moment.

What Aamikam did is awesome, no doubt. But I truly believe that if you are going to make your own ROM, you have to do your own thing.

Taking his ROM and turning it into my own thing to me is shady. He worked his butt off and spent hours doing that. I have a certain code I go by and I stick to it unless there is no other way.

Removing that stuff will improve startup times, but really think about it...it takes the phone less than a minute to startup as it is without doing that. How often do you restart the phone?

I turn mine off MAYBE once a week, if i do not wish to see or here it, I leave it face down and put it on silent mode.

I am proud of my work, I do this as a hobby and I am always doing my best to make the next version better and better. But all those hours you would spend taking out the extra languages, in my opinion, is better spent looking what I can do to improve and test it.

That and the APK's are constantly updated. Lets say I spend about an hour taking apart Google maps, I remove all the extra junk from it. Then bam, Google maps gets updated. Guess what happened? I wasted an hour because Google maps is now bloated again thanks to the update.

Then every couple of months or so, a new OTA comes out. BAM, have to do it all over again. The minute the apps get updated, what you did was pointless. That also tells me, as Mikfroyo is used and apps get updated more and more, over time it is going to slow down thanks to those tweaks being overwritten.

If someone built a program that did the process for you, it would be very worth it. What would take you a long time to do manually would be done quickly and correctly. But until that day, I frankly am not going to spend hours taking apart and playing with APK files, time I feel is better spent testing the ROM, going over it, fixing problems.

Plus, if I take his ROM and use it as my base I am defeating the purpose of making my own ROM.

Sorry, there is always a method to my madness and I will not break the code I live by. If that is a bad thing, Mikfroyo is ready for download :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] R32_Rocky:
I personally will not use any SBC kernel. Over on Ziggy's forum he posted his finding and research on it. It can cause harm to your battery, perhaps something even worse. So use at your own risk, but do some of your own research as well, so your choice is well informed.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ricsim78:
Pull your battery, clean boot it. I have had this happen since the 3.29 days.

It has not happened to me in a while, but it happens on occasion with any ROM (including stock OTAS).
[EVO 4G Android Development] ricsim78:
I hope you can all understand this.
[EVO 4G Android Development] roadkingg:
Nova ???? You realize it was in the ROM?
[EVO 4G Android Development] ricsim78:
Yes, I think it is awesome, why I kept it in.
[EVO 4G Android Development] n1ghtl1fe:
was your battery at 100%? You should only wipe battery stats when your battery has been on the charger green for more than an hour or two. When you wipe stats your phone starts fresh believing the batteries at 100%, so if its at 88% when you wipe stats your phone may say 100% on screen but in reality your only gonna get 1-88% of your battery.

So make sure your battery is charged to its highest capacity possible and then wipe stats (reboot to recovery navigate to option to wipe stats then unplug from charger and hit wipe stats) youll definatley notice better battery life.

[EVO 4G Android Development] Helton566:
I can definitely understand your point. But that was the point I was making. If he is doing all the work compressing the apk's for the base then you just add your personal tweeks I don't see any harm done.

In result you have a faster rom taylored the way you want. Now when there are updates then you are correct his time is just flushed down the toilet and he has to start over again. But at least its not your time. That's all I'm saying and if you feel that you would be doing something shady then so be it. Your work is still great I was just trying to make it better. Also thanks for the explanation and I hope you didn't take this as a bash.
