Thank you for your imput! I couldn't find the thread you mentioned, but I'm sure its right in front of me somewhere. I went ahead and built a new ROM this morning updating to your 3.29-based X v2.1 w/X-Theme & Wallpapers. Love it!

Only two things that are a bit strange. When ever I open the Adobe Reader, it opens fine and works perfectly, but when I close it I get a message that it has a problem, and the only option I have is Force Close. No biggie, cause I'm already done with the app when it happens, but I've seen this in each version of X that I've used.

The second thing is something that I've experienced with every custom ROM I've used except for one, and that is that the Voice Dialer doesn't work. I can say, "Call MyWife mobile", and it may reply with 'Call 972-564-xxxx?' or the option to either dial some random number or open Maps.

I have not yet tried it with Bluetooth as I've lost my beloved little earpiece. When I replace it, if it works with Bluetooth I won't care whether it works or not from the phone itself, but I thought it was worth mentioning.

From the very few posts about this throughout the Evo 4G Android Development section, I'm guessing that I'm one of very few that that actually like to use the voice dialer.

Tiny potatoes in the wonderful garden of "X"! Thank you for your excellent work, and for sharing it with the community!

Update: bought Bluetooth earpiece on the way home. Voice Dialer works perfectly with it!

I'm now running X 2.1 after having performance issues with the previous release, and going back to 2.5. Still running netarchy 4.2.1 cfs/bfq/havs. Let me say that this rom is just as fast as 2.5, and also feels much smoother. Not a single issue that I have found since downloading it hours after its release, and heavy use (mostly getting everything perfectly set up again and testing). Thanks for your hard work!

For the record I use Launcher Pro and the theme by Riptide9 linked in post 1.

Animation Question

I wanna start by saying that this ROM is the sh*t!! Am running Azreal X 2.1 and as usual Rick has outdone himself again!!! He is his only competition in the world of ROMs!

My question: After the *clean* install of v2.1 I then added the riptide theme and life was good. After that, I installed the fold animation and noticed it took away my circle battery indicator w/ % in it and reverted the battery indicator to the standard green battery shaped one and I can't get the other one back. Tried re-install of the the theme after a cache and dalvic wipe but no go. Nothing else is amiss with the theme. Any ideas?

I can do without the circle battery deal if I have to because I prefer the animation more but I would really like both...

Thanks,

dd4502

Used 2.0, went to CM6.1, but now I'm back. I really like your work :)

General question, does OTA version (3.29 or 3.30) affect how well a kernel works? I seem to be having issues with 2.1 that I didn't have with 2.0 when flashing custom kernels. Like freezing, just overall poor performance. Reverted to stock kernel for now. Tried Kings #12 and Netarchys 4.2.1. Kings was laggy and Netarchys was freezing on me. Hardware version 0003
[EVO 4G Android Development] likwid687:
Also, where can I get a flashable HTC #11 Stock kernel? I grow weary of backing-up and restoring when kernels don't work :/ I tried searching around for a link but can't find one any where.
[EVO 4G Android Development] nYdGeo:
Unless you got your 003 in the past few weeks, you more than likely don't have the new camera, etc, so like most of us you want to use the 3.29-build ROM. The 3.30-builds just don't run well on my 003.

I haven't tried King's kernels in a while, but with netarchy's 4.2.1 kernels, the more aggressive undervolting kernel was kind of laggy. I went to the less aggressive undervolting kernel and the lagginess went away and I gained 300 pts in Quadrant. Moving to the 4.2.1 No HAVS kernel didn't improve upon anything so I stuck with the less aggressive undervolting kernel.

I should note that I also have a co-worker that must use the No HAVS kernel as any undervolting kernel causes his Evo to be laggy and sometimes unstable. On the No HAVS it runs like a rabid cheetah on crack, and he gives up very little battery life doing so.

Undervolting does help, there's no question about it. But, far more important is just good, efficient code that sleeps the various components of the phone well. You can observe that difference by trying different kernels in the same phone with the same configuration otherwise, reboot them before bed, and in the morning, look at the ratio between Up Time and Awake Time. One kernel will be up for 8-hours and awake for 1:15:00, and the next will be up for 12-hours and awake for 0:55:00 mins.

So if your Evo doesn't like either of the HAVS kernels and you haven't tried the No HAVS kernel yet, give it a try. The performance should be stellar and your battery life should make you smile, too.

If it doesn't like any of the 4.2.1 kernels, I'd try the 4.1.9.1 line-up. If it doesn't like any of those either...start-up the twilight zone music. Just kidding. Good luck!

Thank you for your time.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Jbcarrera:
here you do i think its the third time i have posted this in this thread
[EVO 4G Android Development] GadgetMonger:
It's been posted quite a few times in this thread. If you run a search using keywords stock 3.29 kernel it should come up.
[EVO 4G Android Development] likwid687:
Tried every variation of 4.2.1. Either would freeze or I would get no gain (and in fact worse scores on Linpack) in Quadrant. Guess I'll try 4.1.9.1 now... I'll post my results.
[EVO 4G Android Development] likwid687:
You sir, are a lifesaver. Thank you.
[EVO 4G Android Development] likwid687:
Another n00b question. How do you check the Up and Awake times?
[EVO 4G Android Development] juancaperez2000:
question: i want to know if somebody change kernel to the Netarchy, if yes hows going with battery life, better than stock
[EVO 4G Android Development] likwid687:
Ok weirdest results yet. With 4.1.9.1 Less Aggressive, Quadrant completely disappeared (probably other programs too, I didn't look around too much.) But I also couldn't install anything.

Went to the No HAVS, and again, minimal to no gain.

Has this happened to anyone else? This seems very odd to me... I usually can easily tell the difference between a custom kernel and stock. Stock it is... Unless anyone has any other ideas?
[EVO 4G Android Development] nYdGeo:
Since ric appears to have been so satisfied with the stock kernel recently, that what I've been using for the past few days. As long as the phone isn't laggy, everything works, and there's halfway decent battery life, I'm good. Maybe I've just become to easy to please.

But I've always been able to run various kernels with good results...sometimes not. I'm not sure what might be the cause of what you're experiencing. One of the infinitely more knowledgeable devs may be able to provide some guidance.

Good luck, Amigo!
[EVO 4G Android Development] DaddieDiesel:
Go to settings,about phone,battery info.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ricsim78:
Kernels are always phone dependant, there is no "best" for everyone.

You just have to see for yourself, wish there was a better way.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ricsim78:
I always like to use HTC kernels because they will work with everyone's phone. Where as a custom kernel can run great on some Evos, poor on others, and not at all for some phones.

No one can advise a good kernel for you, the best for me may be the worse for you.

Find a good kernel and stick with it, try BFS and CFS.

My phone: I can run pretty much any kernel made for the Evo, but if it is a BFS kernel my phone runs badly. I have a pretty overclockable and underclockable Evo but a BFS kernel runs horrid on it!

Tried multiple Ziggy's, Netarchy, and King's BFS and same result each time; poor performance. For others, a BFS kernel may work better than CFS.

Find a good kernel and stick with it. Or play it safe and stick with a HTC kernel. Just make sure it is a good kernel for your hardware number.
[EVO 4G Android Development] likwid687:
The weird thing is though that they worked well on 2.0 but doesn't on 2.1. Any idea why that would be?

[EVO 4G Android Development] juancaperez2000:
yes, i know i just want to get some experience, im trying now Net CFS havs n smart ass ao far so good
[EVO 4G Android Development] wampuscat:
I flashed king bfs #12. And had this exact prob. Went to 11/13ziggy running 1119 mhz at 1630-1650 quadrant. Very descent battery life but one or two freeze ups while loading it up with some heavy programs
[EVO 4G Android Development] ricsim78:
I am using the exact (3.29 DC ROM) as you, no problems with any kernels and no lockups.

I am not sure what would cause that.
[EVO 4G Android Development] juancaperez2000:
same here, no problems
[EVO 4G Android Development] leenypost:
This rom is amazing. Fastest I have tried yet and smoothest as well. Thank you so much for your work. I am only having one problem and that is that my 4g keeps turning off every time I start it. Does anyone know how to fix this?
[EVO 4G Android Development] leenypost:
I rebooted into recovery and wiped cache and dalvik and rebooted normally afterwards and 4g just started working. So far so good.
[EVO 4G Android Development] likwid687:
Guess I will try wiping 3x over and then reflashing... :/

[EVO 4G Android Development] bigdogdan2:
Anyone get FC's when they try to add a new contact? I've had this problem since I installed Fresh ROM and I still have it on this ROM, so I'm not convinced its a ROM problem. Any advice?
[EVO 4G Android Development] speedracerbubba:
Yes. I actually don't like stock android very much.

Like performance, virus (3.29) was the worst with the alarm bug but it gave me great battery life while using the phone. ricks is faster, more stable, and can standby longer so I'm happy.

The devs put a lot of time into their roms so i only theme a recommended theme, if any, primarily for the circle battery with numbers. I had it happen on one of the previous revisions of this rom once and it wasn't themed. I also had the alarm not go off once but I use a bedside alarm in case something like that happens. Redundancy keeps me employed :-P
[EVO 4G Android Development] GadgetMonger:
I'd agree with you that its not a rom issue. Sounds like you're carrying something with you from a previous rom. I'd try clearing data via settings / application / manage application first. Then boot straight into recovery and wipe cache and Dalvik cache 2 times then reflash. Hopefully that would be enough to get whatever it is that's causing the conflict. If not then I'd try wiping everything with Amon_Ra and starting from scratch. No titanium backup.
[EVO 4G Android Development] PM-Performance:
Only glitch I saw was this morning running Pandora so far for the first time.

Sound sounds a little muffled compared to other ROMS. Also it just rebooted the phone from running it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] speedracerbubba:
I don't have the reboot, but pandora does sound very muffled and quiet. I normally listen to music while I shower and it wouldn't even get as loud as the water, let alone sounding like an overpowered subwoofer.

power amp still sounds great, though.
[EVO 4G Android Development] PM-Performance:
I been listening for an hour now and only did once. So maybe that was a fluke.

I used DSP manager to tweak it a little and sounds better. Sounded muffled and tinny a little before.

Not as good as I had from other ROMS Pandora wise, but otherwise this may be my new fav ROM!
[EVO 4G Android Development] n1ghtl1fe:
dude me too
[EVO 4G Android Development] DaddieDiesel:
i thought the sound issues can be helped with some slight tweeks in DSP.

guess ill have to mess with it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] VDub2174:
This ROM just gets better and better.

I had a quetion though. I did notice the change in lock screen from version 2.0 and I really liked that one. Can someone tell me if Calkulin's_EViO_2_Remove_HTCLockscreen.zip changes the lock screen? I wanted something different from stock.
[EVO 4G Android Development] tx_dbs_tx:
I'm a KISS & Gene Simmons fan and their famous stage quote is:

"You want the best... you got the best!"

This rom Rocks! All day and all night long! I'm very happy with this rom and Rick outdid himself. Again. I highly recomend this 2.1 Rom.

With that said, no bugs to report over here.
[EVO 4G Android Development] lightiv:
This is my second ROM and I have to say wow is it fast. I use to listen to Pandora on the phone until I started tethering with Wireless Tether. I installed pre15 with this ROM. I won't be able to test it well until I get back to work on Monday. pre14 would randomly disconnect.

It strikes me how fast this ROM is. I think it is my new favorite also. Now to figure out how to change that lock screen. :D
[EVO 4G Android Development] Jbcarrera:
First screen first post there is a flashable zip for the vanilla lock screen

[EVO 4G Android Development] thundley:
Love this Rom Rick! You always do a great job!

Of course been using all your roms, I updated to 2.1 and getting great battery life! Only bug was a fly landed on my phone, it was later apprehended. Looking forward to what you come up with in the future.
[EVO 4G Android Development] IRatchett:
just flashed the Azrael_X_3.29_V2.1_DC last night and i cant seem to find the gingerbread keyboard on the rom, still looks like the stock one? This rom is the best i have flashed hands down.
[EVO 4G Android Development] leenypost:
Open up a blank text message and hold your finger in the field that you would normally type in. A popup should appear that says "choose input method" press that and you should see 3 options. The last option is called "Android Keyboard". Press that option and the gingerbread keyboard will become your default.

By default haptic feedback (vibrate) is turned off on key presses with this keyboard but you can go to settings (languages and keyboards) press on "Android Keyboard" and adjust any settings you wish.

Hope that helps.
[EVO 4G Android Development] IRatchett:
Yup it worked, feel like a retard now haha THANKS

No problem man, glad I could help!!

Sound Problem

Ok, I just opened Pandora and my local radio station app and with max volume it can barely be heard.

Please provide a hot fix for sound. I have noticed with this ROM that I have missed a few calls simply because I didn't hear the phone ring. Also I do not hear the notification if there is any noise where I am.

Near perfect ROM with the exception of this major issue. I do not have any mp3s on the phone to check their sound levels.

In call volume is normal. No problems hearing the caller.
[EVO 4G Android Development] iamsavedme30:
Is there anyway of downgrading to 3.29?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Jbcarrera:
Yes there are two, flash this Rom or you can flash the official ruu through sync but you will lose root that way. Do not down grade if your phone originally came with 3.30

Sent from the edge of hell
[EVO 4G Android Development] GadgetMonger:
This rom is 3.29. Ricsim is the only dev to supply us with both builds. I think there are still stock 3.29 ROMs out there too if you feel like digging through the forum. Not sure why you'd want to though. :D
[EVO 4G Android Development] iamsavedme30:
I have hardware v.0003. I wont risk unrooting my phone by trying to down grade I have had my phone since August. And I believe there was an upgrade to the radio after I bought it but before I rooted my phone.
[EVO 4G Android Development] shad0w77:
alright, this rom is working way better for me than omega. awsome stuff. the one thing that bugs me is that if i hit the back button fast enough in the browser, i get that friggin' FC....

oh and if i install an animation zip... it mods the riptide theme provided in the first post...

nevermind with the animation comment ^^^^ if you flash the animation zip, then the theme, u get the best of both worlds...
[EVO 4G Android Development] GadgetMonger:
How do you figure you're risking root?
[EVO 4G Android Development] iamsavedme30:

[EVO 4G Android Development] GadgetMonger:
What rom are you running now? If you're running Azrael you're already on the 3.29 base. And it's not actually a downgrade since the 3. 30 build just incorporates some tweeks and fixes for the newer hardware version that aren't needed for the rest of us with the older hw versions.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Trident:
Something I've noticed. When I use the cool.iris gallery to select a wallpaper, it lets me do everything, seems to save it, but then it doesn't change the wallpaper. Not a big deal, as the OEM gallery does it fine, it just doesn't look as cool.

Today is my first day of testing this ROM to see how the battery does.

I think your theory about the older base working better on v0003 hardware is going to be correct. I started getting horrendous battery stats as soon as the 3.30 based ROMs came out, no matter the kernel or settings.
[EVO 4G Android Development] GadgetMonger:
Did you try flashing the browser apk fix? Should fix the back button force close issue.
[EVO 4G Android Development] shad0w77:
kind of afraid to... last time i did that in omega, it erased the browser...

but I just switched to 2.5 to see what happens.
[EVO 4G Android Development] catseyenu:
Yeah, what's up with that, a newer version isn't compatible in TB?

Titanium seems to be creating grief here as well for the last few Rom flashes.

I ended up hand deleting almost all backups due to corruption as well as needing to down grade busy box to get it working again. Meh!

On the bright side I finally found where Rick was posting on Azrael 2.5 (some how missed your post Monday:eek:) & am now back in the race. :cool:
[EVO 4G Android Development] SilverStone641:

Sound Problem - Solution

Go to the media player and start playing one of the stop music files and then turn the volume up to max. This is what fixed the sound for Pandora and my local radio station app.

Turning the volume up while Pandora had no to little effect. Once you do the above everything seems to be back to normal with the sound and you can adjust it from within Pandora.

Hope this is help to others. :D

Pandora issue has been reported. I don't use it so I can't say, the other audio issues you raised seem to be specific to your phone or set up. All audio here working as it should. Ringer, music player, notifications, alarms, and video sound all working well.
[EVO 4G Android Development] SilverStone641:
I think i've hit my first speed bump. I'm not exactly a noob when it comes to flashing. i've done a half dozen or so, but this is the first time i've flashed a new rom(complete with wiping dalvik and cache) and all my previous settings remained intact. It's like it didn't completely overwrite the previous rom. all my icons are in place, my wallpaper is the same, lockscreen is the same and password is intact. Yet settings still reports and Azrael 2.1 software. did i do something wrong?? do i need to flash a previous version before updating to 2.1?
[EVO 4G Android Development] GadgetMonger:
If you just wiped cache and Dalvic cache that right. You have to wipe data to have everything completely wiped out and start out as with a new phone.
[EVO 4G Android Development] SilverStone641:
What is the recommended way to go about it? will i lose any performance by doing it this way? or should i go back and do a complete wipe?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Trident:
Wipe to factory reset. Then Wipe Dalvik. Some recommend doing it twice.

I also run Calkulin's wipeALL app, then I wipe battery stats.

As usual, nandroid first.
[EVO 4G Android Development] GadgetMonger:
If you're not having any problems I wouldn't worry about it. This is the way I generally do it and I dont have any issues for the most part. Just be aware if any thing comes up that the solution will most likely be the full wipe and reflash.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Trident:
While this is true, it isn't what the OP recommends.

I've found that it's usually easier to do the wipes first- when I don't, it always seems that a few days into using the ROM, I start to get slow-downs and errors. Then I get frustrated because I've wasted all the setup time and have to do it again anyway. Same logic I use for NOT using Titanium backup to restore. I do the backups only to restore in case of an emergency.
[EVO 4G Android Development] SilverStone641:
Well, i did the full wipes like Trident suggested and it did a full and complete install. i've run into a new issue now. i try to restore my apps + data with titanium and as soon as it starts the batch process, my phone reboots.

also, and this is a smaller issue, i don't have a new lockscreen. i loaded up the "directors cut" and was under the assumption that there was a new lockscreen included. again, not a big deal, just wondering.
[EVO 4G Android Development] GadgetMonger:
Of course a full data wipe is always recommend. I've found when using one dev's work I can go 3 or 4 updates before I start seeing any issues. That's when I know it's time for a complete wipe and start from scratch.

Titanium BackUp will cause issues. There is a nice rundown of the best way to use it in the op for those who choose to use it. I personally don't. If you're concerned about having issues due to not wiping it kind of doesn't make sense to go through the trouble of wiping everything just to restore a bunch of data and settings from the same previous rom that was just supposed to have been wiped completely away. :D
