I'd also be careful with this wiping RSA keys from your WiMax partition. This is dependent, of course, that this ROM flashes radios as well.

I hope that everyone that is flashing this is doing a FULL nandroid backup using Amon's recovery (the only one that will backup the wimax.img). If you wipe your RSA keys and haven't backed up with Amon, you're never getting them back. I recently wiped mine and I had to take it to 3 stores, trying multiple methods to trick them to get a new phone. The last store I went to knew I had broke it by rooting, but because of my trickery, they couldn't prove it so they gave me a new phone... on one condition: They flagged me in the system, so if I go to any store with broken 4G, I'll have to file an insurance claim and pay $100 for a new device.

See: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=797337

Having Gingerbread would be neat, but I'm not about to let this happen again (though I do have a full nandroid backup of my device).
[EVO 4G Android Development] cbe665:
lol... little late for that, i updated my wimax radio per a suggestion from a member here before i ever registered. on another note, i use clockworkmod because i didn't know there were any real advantages to using amon ra's. well anyway, i'm not too worried about it. 4g isn't available in my area yet. but it would've been good information to have at the time. at this point, i'm more concerned about gingerbread than 4g :cool:
[EVO 4G Android Development] Cjunior:
i flashed the rom and din't did a back up this mean i broke my 4G im sorry for asking this here, i know this is for devs only. i reflash the other rom i was using and it works but i don't live on a area that has a 4g so i can't test if the 4G is working or not.
[EVO 4G Android Development] BigRick10:
You flashed this without making a Nandroid??

Gingerbread SIP support

I just installed build 4. One thing....it doesn't look like SIP support is in this build

SipManager.newInstance() returns null.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Cjunior:
yes i feel very dumm now, does this mean i lost my 4G? :(
[EVO 4G Android Development] cbe665:
its possible. idk if anyone has the answer to that yet. thats why this is devs only. i wouldn't have flashed it if i wasn't willing to risk messing up any number of things, and i don't think anyone else should either
[EVO 4G Android Development] Cjunior:
Thanks man I appreciated the help; I guess I will find out for sure next time I drive to Boston or Framingham where they have the 4G.

[EVO 4G Android Development] EVOKeith:
Firstly, I appreciate the DEVs who are working feverishly on this, and I am super excited about it.

Does anyone know what the major changes will be from 2.2 to 2.3? Is there a changelog, or a rumored changelog anywhere?
[EVO 4G Android Development] krazyflipj:

[EVO 4G Android Development] MaskedDriver:
See the link I posted in my message about backing up and taking caution.

Start an adb shell

c:\android-sdk-windows\tools> adb shell
# grep RSA /dev/mtd/mtd0
RSA-REQUEST
RSA-REPLY
RSA-REJECT
RSA-ACK
RSA-1024
RSA-REQUEST
RSA-REPLY
RSA-REJECT
RSA-ACK
RSA-1024
RSA
ReRSA
RSA requests
RSA replies
-----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY-----
-----END RSA PRIVATE KEY-----

If you don't see the last two lines, you've wiped your RSA's and you're gonna need a new phone.

If you do, IMMEDIATELY flash Amon's recovery and do a NAND backup... Then flash a stable ROM, run the grep again... then IMMEDIATELY do a nand backup AGAIN... Then go about your business.

Like I said, they're wising up to this and chances are in a month's time, if you have wiped RSA keys they're going to write "DBR" (damaged beyond repair) on your label behind your battery and tell you to go screw yourself.
[EVO 4G Android Development] JRECH:
I didnt do a NANDROID backup on mine and i still have 4g.
[EVO 4G Android Development] MaskedDriver:
I'm not saying it WILL break your 4G. I'm saying there's a chance. Like I said in my original post, I'm not sure if this flashes radios or anything like that. As a person who recently had to go through getting a new phone due to RSA's getting wiped, I'm telling people that they NEED to do a Nandroid just in case.

I rooted my new phone, and before I did anything, I did a complete nandroid backup every time because I'm uber paranoid now. I currently am using 2.5gb of my flash memory due to all of my backups.

Plus c'mon.. This is a HIGHLY unstable ROM.. If you're not doing nandroids, you have no business flashing this stuff.
[EVO 4G Android Development] angel7501@live.com:
WARNING!

If you are NOT a DEVELOPER, DON'T FLASH THIS...

come on people its only for DEVELOPMENT PURPOSES

ITS NOT INTENDED FOR DAILY USE

[EVO 4G Android Development] lui22:
anyone have a video of the rom in action?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Product F(RED):
There is a way to regenerate an RSA WiMax key without a Nandroid backup. Right now I'm on a bus so ill post it when I'm home. Basically you delete a file from the WiMax folder and it gets regenerated.
[EVO 4G Android Development] barnacles10:
http://lmgtfy.com/?q=android+2.3+on+evo+video

First of all, the consequences of flashing are very much off topic. This ROM doesn't include radios, so lets please not get everyone riled up about wiping RSA keys. This thread is going to jump further off track than it already is. Yeah, I flashed it to test and try n fix a few things without making a backup. So what? :D
[EVO 4G Android Development] david279:
Flashing this rom wont wipe your rsa keys....scare tactics.
[EVO 4G Android Development] MaskedDriver:
Don't think so.

Ok findings... this wont install on a desire hd, which is very similar to evo.

Ideas?
[EVO 4G Android Development] crpercodani:
Different chipset, it's not gonna work without a boot.img/kernel for the desire hd.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Cjunior:
sorry about my post i din't want to make things go off track, thanks for all the help i appreciated. this is a good lesson for a nob like me not to go flashing anything that they find, without backing everthing up frist :) once again thanks for all the replays.
[EVO 4G Android Development] tomh1979:
try flashing to Amon_ra, so you can wipe everything correctly, then try to flash this dev rom.
[EVO 4G Android Development] david279:
I don't think its gonna install for you. Good luck trying though.
[EVO 4G Android Development] echoside:
really.....the big red letters on the first post

Rule 1 when dealing with any rom especially something like this MAKE A BACKUP!

I have flashed this plus multi broke versions more then anyone on here. Last night I flash my stock sense rom (not nand restore but fresh flash) and my 4G works like a charm. This DOESNT flash a new radio....It shouldnt break your 4G BUT its always a possibility.

Also if your flashing this expecting it to be a daily rom then your an asshat and please dont post on this thread complaining about how it cant be a daily.....big red letters....right above the link you click to down....usually something important. I don't know what else I can do to tell people its not fully functional I put DEVS ONLY in front and behind the title and the big ass red letters on the first post.

If you want to post that your having issues with something that is said to be fixed on the OP I'm perfectly fine with that. In fact I would appreciate it. If it doesn't say it works then...it doesn't work. All I am asking is PLEASE read the OP its only a few sentences....

</rant>

Sorry for that and I am going to be working on this some more tonight hopefully I can get some more stuff fixed. =)
[EVO 4G Android Development] bmtdan:
No your right it was on my

Edit: sorry I was using the des app and dint realize how old that post was .

This app is very glitchy sometimes
[EVO 4G Android Development] creyc:
It's a good thing you didn't break it because your little Clockwork Nand backup wouldn't have done anything to fix lost RSA keys. :eek: Clockwork doesn't back up the wimax partition, unlike Amon_RA, so had you have lost your keys you wouldn't have anything to restore from.

I recommend doing a proper nandroid backup with amon_ra and at least saving it someplace safe just incase a bad day comes along and you do something stupid.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jhdreamer:
So you mean everything is working 100% now and i can use this build as my everyday rom? I am so glad, I just flashed it without making a nandroid backup because i know this is going to be super awesome.

ohh wait.......
[EVO 4G Android Development] cbe665:
sorry i didn't realize 4g worked on this. as stated before, i dont live in a 4g area so i wasnt able to test it

Can you confirm if GPS works? I already erased the rom off my device, don't want to flash just to see
[EVO 4G Android Development] blackroseMD1:
GPS is not working at the moment.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Samzebian:
Hey everyone discussing RSA keys and all that, thanks for letting me know and giving me a way to check in a non-4g area. Turns out I'm ok and I am now attempting to flash Amon-Ra over clockwork via rom manager, 2 times it's failed. I'll get it eventually..

But yea it's a great preventative measure, back up via amon-ra, keep it somewhere safe (like my PC) and use it on a bad day you screw up your phone! BTW, can I nand-restore from an old amon-ra one day to get the 4g RSA keys back on, then restore from a nand from clockwork to have all of my current data? Because I want to use Amon-Ra only to back up my keys once, and will re-flash it one day if I ever screw up my keys, but would like to use clockwork.

Oh and I have to agree this thread has gone all over the place, but it was bound to happen, this being the only major gingerbread thread.

There should be a dedicated thread for gingerbread speculation/boot screen crap/ newbs complaining about this dev only rom/ etc.

btw, any progress on getting sound to work? Would we need source to get this?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Xodium:
Not sure if it's been said/discovered before, but anyone notice the SECOND notification light now being used by this Gingerbread ROM?

I know the primary light is behind the earpiece grill on the left, but now, there's a green one on the right that's pulsating whenever I get a notification in 2.3.

Mind = blown.

(If this other light is used in any other rom, I sure haven't seen it. Attaching a picture as soon as it's done uploading.)

EDIT: Link to photo, I took it with my DSLR so it's kinda huge:

[EVO 4G Android Development] barnacles10:
Its the evos wimax led. Cyanogenmod utilizes it for notifications.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Samzebian:
I believe you are referring to the Wimax LED. What type of notifications enable it, texts, emails?

Also, it looks like this, correct?:
[EVO 4G Android Development] Xodium:
Ah. That's why then. There's no wimax over here, hence why I never noticed. Sorry to get all excited about it. :D (I'm also using Cyanogen 6.1, but never really messed with the settings. Now I'm going to.)
[EVO 4G Android Development] alphabuilders:
desire hd does not support wimax as it is a non american market phone. will I still need to worry about rsa keys?

yes i have a backup on my pc and in my dropbox too

i did a fresh backup as i had installed a couple of new apps and had some new messages etc..

[EVO 4G Android Development] Product F(RED):
Guys, there's an app around the forums called WiMax Notifier that lets you use that second LED just like the normal one.
[EVO 4G Android Development] SteelH:
Yeah, except it hasnt been updated in 3 months, FC quite a bit, and only works for SMS.

Any pointers?
[EVO 4G Android Development] qwasz123:
Don't use clockwork and flash RA recovery. Try installing it without renaming it also?

Don't know if this will work but worth a shot.

[EVO 4G Android Development] mmegalodon:
Its just referred to / called / known as the WiMax LED.

It never did anything, for 4G even, and took a while before even recognized.. Aformentioned app brought it to the public and now in CM6.1 and working for multiple notifications.

SWYPED from my SUPASONIC
[EVO 4G Android Development] Product F(RED):
Normally, it's unused. That's why you don't see it go on even when you have 4G.
[EVO 4G Android Development] blackroseMD1:
Yeah, it appears either the devs ran into a roadblock, or lost interest. I'm guessing we'll just have to wait until either the first OTA is released and ported, or the source code is released.
[EVO 4G Android Development] bmxrider4444:
I would think they are still working some, but mostly waiting on source or for something like the N1 to get it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] terrel_b:
Here's the thing. I don't think the deve can go much farther without the source code. So, flash if you want, but the source code is the key to a Gingerbread release that actually works on the Evo.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Samzebian:
I'm assuming the source code should be coming out within 30 days of the Nexus S's release date. HTC released it for the Evo within (or maybe right after, my brain doesn't remember right now) 30 days. I think it has something to do with law or rules about android being open-source or something like that?

I think HTC released it right after the 30 days, and I think they did it because it had something to do with us being unable to simply return the phone after that. I don't really remember, this was like 6 months ago.

Since the Nexus S is not made by HTC, Samsung released the epic on august 31, and they released source on the 5th of september, only 5 days later.

The samsung captivate, released July 18, had it's source code released July 30th. Only 12 days later

Samsung fascinate released September 9, source code on September 16. only 1 week here

Samsung vibrant was released july 15th, source the same day as captivate (july 30th)

from what I see, nexus one's release and source code for froyo update was at the same time.

It looks like samsung may suck at updates, but at least they release source code fast.

Wait, I just realized something, do we need the source code from the nexus s to get this rom semi-functional, or source code for the gingerbread rom on the evo??? I think I misunderstood this whole thing and just wasted a lot of time for nothing:D
[EVO 4G Android Development] crpercodani:
We don't need either. Just the code to be released to the aosp. Then devs can build from it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] 7thcagedtiger:
This is awesome. I've got data, SMS, and internet works as long as I search instead of opening the default home page. Linpack is at 8.6 MFLOPS. I can restore apps and download new ones from the market. So very cool. I wish this was stable and fast enough.
