Why Oh Why - hasn't the GPS/NAV in motion been resolved completely? :) Location works for the most part but turn by turn - FUGETABOUTIT..
[EVO 4G Android Development] xhazyx:
I'm not currently running this ROM, But i think it has a modified version of the GB launcher, but I believe there's an option in the evervolv settings to change it back to stock
[EVO 4G Android Development] MrTrackZed:
When you first boot the ROM, it uses Evervolv's own modded launcher. You can go into settings and select the stock Gingerbread launcher as well;)

Cheers for the replies guys. The reason why I ask is I have not played around much with launchers but I was hoping to add some more screens instead of just having 5.

This is the best non sense rom I have ever used on my EVO. Excellent work. Beta is very much not a beta. Great work.
[EVO 4G Android Development] cwhickey420:
This rom is pretty sweet and stable, only issue I'm having is with the wifi working for about a minute then stopping. I changed the wifi setting to never sleep but it still seems like it sleeps. I also updated my kernel to the savage-kernel-v1.6 and still the same thing. I'm sorry if this has already been asked but I went through like a 100 pages on this thread and found nothing on it so far, If anybody can enlighten me i'd more then appreciate it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] digitalrurouni:
Yep I have experienced that myself as well. I think I have experienced that with other roms as well though. Not sure what the fix is for this.
[EVO 4G Android Development] AlexFG:
This ROM looks awesome but the activation call didn't even go through on my phone and none of the ## codes worked so I couldn't even activate my EVO manually and had to install my old Fresh ROM back. Sucks because I really wanted to try this ROM and play around with it but this is my work phone and it needs to be working at a 100%, 24/7. So I guess I'll wait till a fully functional version of this ROM comes out or I get a spare EVO to test it on. Whichever comes first. :confused:
[EVO 4G Android Development] luigic81:
activation call? What are you refering to? This is a fully functioning rom, I use my phone for work too, I've been running this rom for about 5 days straight now....

Odd but it works!

Installed CM7 over CM6, totally forgot to do a complete wipe, everything seems to run smooth as butter with no issues and yes GPS works fine as well as vvm, all Facebook contacts merged fine with picture contacts, so am stomped on this and wonder if am going to have any issues soon.

Lets wait and see.

I really like this rom however I have a problem with a single application. The free Dish Remote Access application just closes every time I open it on this rom. Not a FC just a close. Any idea how I could go about troubleshooting that or do I just need to stay on Froyo until they work it out? :(
[EVO 4G Android Development] playya:
Keep trying different kernels and also after you change you wifi policy reboot your phone

FYI - I am running the new Savaged-Zen Beta CFS-Havs Wimax with no issue with wifi at all... Wifi policy set to never
[EVO 4G Android Development] cwhickey420:
I fixed the wifi issue just did a hard reset, something i didn't do after i installed the savage kernel and the wifi is working great now. Phone did a random restart this morning but other then that solid as a rock.

I'm getting a ton of reboots too. With this rom and cm7 nightlies. I thought it was just me. I think my phone hates AOSP roms. I'm on hardware version 4.

I am an artard since I forgot about the wifi sleep policy! Let me try that out!
[EVO 4G Android Development] xhazyx:

Nice! Hopefully this really does work better. Flashing now.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jcrabapple:
What's the best practice for flashing a kernel when flashing a new ROM? Boot with stock kernel first and then reboot and flash? Or flash the new kernel immediately after the ROM?
[EVO 4G Android Development] xhazyx:
I personally, to be on the safe side, first boot into the ROM then go back into recovery to wipe both caches and flash the new kernel...

Although it 'shouldn't' cause issues to flash right after the ROM, I've found that it 'does' cause issues
[EVO 4G Android Development] soundworkspr:
well, i love this rom.. have tried many other always coming back to this one. the only problem im having is that darn voice mail always there, is there like a fix for this ???
[EVO 4G Android Development] luigic81:
what do you mean voice mail always there? You mean the notification in your bar up top? I had that prob cuz I installed an older version of the sprint vvm .apk file, get the newer one that someone posted like 20 pages back, that fixes it
[EVO 4G Android Development] blckout99:
I tried searching the thread to no avail. I flashed b2, and cannot flash a different Rom now without error, using Clockwork v3.0.0.2. Any ideas guys ? Steps: Perform full wipe of data/factory reset x2 --> Wipe cache partition x2, --> Install ZIP from sdcard.... Unfortunately I'll have to wait for Gingerbread with Sense for full Exchange support.
[EVO 4G Android Development] xhazyx:
You shouldn't have to wipe data to flash a new kernel.... just cache and dalvik before u flash a new kernel.

I assume you are flashing a AOSP kernel right?

Also I'm not much of a fan of clockwork recovery, I use AmonRA and never have problems flashing (unless of course it's a bad download)

Edit:

Since you already wiped data, do this:

-wipe everything (use calkulins format all zip, if you can)

-flash ROM, and reboot

-go back to recovery

-wipe cache and dalvik, and flash kernel of choice

-reboot
[EVO 4G Android Development] tangstang:
Issues I've noticed with this rom:

At first noticed that any change of a wallpaper EXCEPT for a live wallpaper would default back to the evervolv wallpaper.

night after flashing phone randomly decided to erase all text conversations and call history although I also got a prompt about my gmail sign-in status changed(saying possibly wrong pw, etc.)? Seen this issue on customer's phones before but never my own on any roms, that's a pw I don't ever change. Also it booted one time after several regular boots and didn't get past the splash screen, took battery out and booted fine.

Bluetooth works pretty well, GPS will randomly lose signal(don't use GPS on regular basis so non-issue for me), The UI settings for Evervolv don't work, can't hide clock, am/pm, or change battery type to percentage, shows its changed in options but does nothing? and last but not least.....

When I turn on the phone or am using the phone I get a pop-up that says the process 'media' has stopped responding and prompts force close, even if I wasn't using it.

Looks awesome, runs fast, other than these haven't noticed any issues. Keep up the good work:)

this was on b2 btw
[EVO 4G Android Development] luigic81:
@tangstang the phone needs to be rebooted before the Evervolv UI settings will take place
[EVO 4G Android Development] erawtik:
Not sure if you got it working but i had the same problem with every GB rom when i tried a different kernel. And now i finally figured out the problem. You need to download Calkulins wipe all zip and intead of useing wipe just run it then install the rom, gapps, and kernel. From my understanding when you wipe it isnt clearing everything and his zip clears more than what you do in recovery.
[EVO 4G Android Development] MrTrackZed:
Hey Drew/Evervolv, ROM has been running absolutely great for almost a week, not a single reboot either...using Savage-Zen kernel btw. I was just curious if it would maybe be possible to incorporate the ability to hide text under apps on homescreens.... i.e. LauncherPro? It cleans up the screen so much. Something like an Evervolv UI setting? Just a thought, thank you again for all the incredible work.

[EVO 4G Android Development] xhazyx:
You could just install launcher pro.... and uninstall the original launcher

The word out there that Gingerbread is suppose to have arabic langauge built in, the last build dudn't, can someone confirm?
[EVO 4G Android Development] AlexFG:
I re-installed the ROM and everything is working fine. It's super fast and I love the layout. Awesome ROM, congrats to all the developers who worked on it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] xhazyx:
i think they said "it supports arabic characters"... your ROM developer would have to create an arabic translation tho
[EVO 4G Android Development] playya:
I think you should try Amon first to see if things get fixed... you can always flash back to clockwork but IMO Amon much better recovery for error free nandroid(ing)
[EVO 4G Android Development] playya:
I think you may need to start from scratch using Caulkins wipe zip. I have been running his roms for quite some time and actually the only issue I have is GPS. Which is not a big deal to me

I do a full wipe before everything then do cache, data and davlik again for good measure. All features work as advertised. Hopefully you get this fixed because his roms have been my daily for at least a month now. Definitely a nice GB rom IMO
[EVO 4G Android Development] nbm400:
Wow this rom is amazing. Once I changed the wifi setting everything has been gold. I must say I'm seeing great battery life and smooth as silk performance. (zen kernel, CFS).

Has anyone found a way to embed the power controls in the notifications bar yet?

Dig it. keep up the good work.
[EVO 4G Android Development] MrTrackZed:
I thought about this, and its probably the only option...I just didn't want to have anything running over Gingerbread itself. Its so much smoother than LauncherPro in general;)

Haptic Feedback

I really like this ROM. Looks awesome and works great. I do have one question though. I went into a Sprint store a couple of days ago and used a Samsung Instinct "smart" phone for a second and really liked the haptic feedback setting on it. It was almost like a bounce. I have tried messing with the settings and cant seem to get the correct ones to make it like the Instinct and was wondering if anyone else has done it or would know what settings I should use.
[EVO 4G Android Development] digitalrurouni:
Its probably more to do with the hardware itself than the OS.
[EVO 4G Android Development] qwerty017:
Darn. Was hoping it wasn't. Thanks anyways.
[EVO 4G Android Development] andresmalvarez:
Just installed the newest update a few days ago and noticed an enormous drop in battery life from the last alpha release. I was getting over 24 hours, literally, 24 hours. And then with the second beta release it came back down to earth and was down to 77% after 35 minutes. Was there a change in something that would cause that kind if change? Seems pretty significant.

I tried that before posting and it didn't work, this time I went back to a nandroid backup of a AOSP rom and then wiping everything manually, then ran calkulin's format all, then flashed everything in order, and was veryyyyy selective when I restored from titanium backup thinking my issue could possibly have stemmed from a restore from a 2.2 media process(?), anyhow, everything is working perfectly now:). Which is really good cause I was already missing the evervolv settings and launcher.:)

GPS Fix

For those of you that are having GPS problems, here is a fix/workaround that worked for me. Go to the market > download GPS Status (free) > menu > tools > compass calibration. The "rotate on axis" instructions means do a figure 8 with your phone. Just hold it in your hand and do a horizontal figure 8 in front of you. After I did this GPS locked and tracked my position.

Additional Information: I think GPS Status has to turned on. I tried gmaps again today after a reboot and gps wouldn't lock on until I started GPS Status and the programmed locked gps. It took about 3 seconds - there is a timer on the screen that tells you how long till lock. Now gmaps works fine.

[EVO 4G Android Development] digitalrurouni:
Just as an fyi and what not, I always do a wipe of everything before upgrading a rom. I know you can get away without wiping everything out if you are on the same rom but upgrading to the newest versions but I am not a big believer of that. Something just has not convinced me that upgrading an existing software installation is ever a good idea. I write software for a living and I do not believe in "oh it will work" because upgrades are always marred with issues. That's why I prefer doing a little more work and wiping everything out and reinstalling and so on so forth every single time. It has saved me from having issues over 90% of the time. My 2 cents. Good luck!
