Here's some feedback on 0.9.3:

-GPS is more accurate now, though I can't seem to toggle GPS with SwitchPro Widget. Works in stock power control (Is there a way to edit those toggle options?). GPS icon also shows up randomly. (I have wifi and gps satellites options on)

-WiFi is working too.

-Feels smoother, transitions on normal feels kind of rough sometimes between screen switches. Kept at normal cause I'm loving the off screen animation. "Fast" won't show it.

-Orange band if you overshoot scrolling. Not a big deal.

-Auto-brightness is kind of dark, lower range?

-Spare parts history is still FC-ing.

-Browser's "about:debug" doesn't have custom UAString option anymore compare to Froyo. That comes in handy for those picky websites.

-WiFi actually stays on after off-screen for some time. (Sleep policy "never" actaully stick)

-Don't really use MMS so I can't say much about that but SMS over 160 is still a problem since, well, forever. I'm aware this is CDMA and they don't break up messages but perhaps it can be a default setting on phone to automate that?

-Battery percentage option? Did they take that out of gingerbread?

-Using stock kernel that came with 0.9.3 (CM), battery life drains pretty quickly on normal day to day use. I should mention I'm using battery monitor widget (stock settings), maybe all that monitoring drains battery quicker?

-No random reboots, not sure why others are having that problem.

-Market downloads doesn't seem to show any apps installed from "unknown sources" (ie. apps backed up from programs like ES App Manager, etc). Therefore, it won't tell you that your programs need updates. Kind of defeats the purpose for backing up apps and inaccurately measure app downloads in market.

That's all I can think of for now. Keep up the good work. Let me know if you need me to test things more thoroughly.

Looking forward to next release.

hmmmm

That is a gingerbread feature :O

Its supposed to do that to show you it is the end of the list.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Clark008:
Ah! I thought it was some graphics issue. Though I wouldn't mind if the bottom just glow instead of showing orange band =p

Update: CM7RC0 doesn't show orange bands, it shows orange fade. Thought that banding looked weird.

Help!

Hey guys. I would like to try this mod out but ive never flashed a rom or gapps before. Ive downloaded the salvage mod and the gapps file. What should I do with these next? If someone can point me at a thread that explains this or provide an answer here I would be glad. Thanks!
[EVO 4G Android Development] Clark008:
Boot into recovery, wipe data, cache, dalvik, and flash salvage mod, then gapps.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ebenebeneben:
Thanks, but I dont really understand what you mean by cache and dalvik.Ive never done this sort of thing before, e.g I dont even know how to boot into recovery. Can you explain a bit more or point me towards a thread for noobs?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Clark008:
Is your device rooted?

What recovery are you using? Amon Ra? Clockworkmod?
[EVO 4G Android Development] :
That's a good list. If you haven't already, be sure to cross reference and post unreported issues to the Issue Tracker, (in the OP).

The reason I say this is because otherwise your post may get lost within the thread. It's easier for the Devs, better for the users. :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] bjb_nyj101:
I see the Orange Banding also. It's hard to tell when on a background, but when you're in an app with a white / grey background, you can see it clearly.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Clark008:
Don't know where to cross reference, I see postings all over the place. I thought this thread might be a good start so people who's flashing this rom will know.

Just posting as I go =p

Speaking of:

-Salvage's power control widget doesn't prompt options for toggle type while it does for other gingerbread roms, ie. CM7RC0.
[EVO 4G Android Development] bjb_nyj101:
I believe that the toggle type is a CM feature, that others have used in their roms as well.
[EVO 4G Android Development] aimbdd:
Banding is a glitch the dev said should be fixed with next update. It should be smooth

jonesin for update

Couldn't sleep, just in case it was posted last night. Refreshing forum every 30 min today. Oh, flashaholics, what shall I do? I feel like I did a week ago, when everyone was talking about cyanogen getting 4g working (which still isn't posted). Maybe I feel this way because I quite smoking...

Come on echoside! Your flock awaits :)

Sorry, I should have been more clear. You can cross reference in the link below. Most of them are already covered I think.

[EVO 4G Android Development] ssconceptz:
Wifi works but will have to be turned off then on again sometimes when it seems to shut off.

Orange band is stock gingerbread but the orange band on this build seems to be too translucent or the files for it are corrupted as it doesnt show correctly as Ive seen on other builds.

Auto brightness needs adjusting as it is too dim at most times.

MMS/SMS works perfect for me

Battery life is great, even better than stock 3.70 rom

No random reboots

Market 2.2.7 works great, no issues there

added to what Ive stated before about GPS, it works but will not follow you.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ssconceptz:
yes it is suppose to be a orange gradient, which is usually darker than it is on salvage, I believe the salvage band is incorrect or corrupted. Its a nice feature and in other roms I have noticed it working correctly graphic wise.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ssconceptz:
Also anyone who is complaining about facebook pictures not showing for contacts, I have had to put a picture or select an actual photo for the contact in order for it to show. This is not only with salvage but with other roms so I'm not sure if it is suppose to let you by default or its a bug.
[EVO 4G Android Development] :
The dev said a few pages back that he fixed the orange gradient. It should be in the next release.

Fm Radio

I'm wondering if anyone has been able to get the FM Radio working on this rom. I was wanting to try and steal it from CM 6.1 but wasn't sure exactly how to do that or if it would work on a gingerbread rom.

And is there anyway to add the quickboot intergreation for the power button like in CM or Stock gingerbread rom beta 4. I really love that feature. Also the powercontrol inegreated into the status menu like in the CM 6.1 would be awesome to have.

Also I noticed this rom doesn't show under the Evo Custom rom section of XDA Wiki.

And thank you so much for getting us this gingerbread goodness.
[EVO 4G Android Development] :
The reboot menu should be in the next release.

man I cant wait for working GPS
[EVO 4G Android Development] :
Agreed, that and video recording

gingerbread

hey all,

I been curious about these gingerbread aosp roms. I've flashed lots of roms (I usually run virus' roms), but never flashed an aosp rom. I see with CM, it seems like people always posting about problems, things not workin, etc (no, not the obvious 4g, front cam, hdmi things- but more basic things).

I'm just wondering, if I flash an aosp rom if there's anything different i need to do from flashing a sense based rom (other than needing gapps)? Does flashing aosp create problems if trying to flsh back (or nand back) to a sense-based rom? (does it change partitions, or anything real deep and technical, for example)?

Thanks in advance, and thanks echo
[EVO 4G Android Development] :
Problems [FIXED]

So after using this ROM for about 24 hours I found a few errors/features which were not working. Again I understand this is not the developers fault due to 2.3 (Gingerbread).

Current Problems

- Images/Photos do no show up when browsing galleries.

- Contacts are a pain to sync and images do not sync correctly together.

- Music is not shown in the media player. ( It shows in ASTRO or any viewer)

.... That about it.

Then again, this is from my phone.:)

Wifi Fix

There is a setting in the wifi preference that gives you the option to "turn off" the wifi when the screen is off. Turn this option to "never" and your wifi will stop disconnecting.

Sorry folks this is my first real post so forgive me for many errors you may encounter in my highly grade writing skillz :-D

Battery Fix For Now

Thats because root seems to be broke on this rom. I tried to install busybox by hand but it wont even give me permissions to use much of anything in system or xbin. I couldn't even use unzip :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] robbiep:
Also experiencing this

Rom manager works though with root access
[EVO 4G Android Development] flexgrip:
Yeah, fire up adb and play around a little bit. You will see what I'm talking about.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Gilbot:
Thanks for the heads up, i'll wait up for the next update in regards to Titanium backup & root access.

Rom runs smoothly otherwise [known GB Rom issues withstanding; browser crash, etc..]

Kudos to all these Devs with getting these roms up and running. I will surely be checking often for the latest news and updates !

Nice work guys :)

we have MMS fixed now, working on a few things then will upload a patch with the fix plus more. When I upload it I will upload it as a patch so people that already flashed it don't have to wipe.

Flashed it.. Love it!!!!!! Thanks man!!!

I saw someone had posted this earlier, but I would love to have the green taskbar icons (wifi, 3g, signal...) and since root isn't completely working you can't really push the framework.res from a diff rom, maybe a update.zip? :o
[EVO 4G Android Development] GeJohnO:
I know this post contributes nothing, but this rom is so slick. Thanks.
[EVO 4G Android Development] wtr1906:
I noticed i can not view any pics in the gallery... I can view them thru Linda Manager. Anybody else having this issue?
[EVO 4G Android Development] xhazyx:
More Devs

i gotta ask this? why dont all the devs get together and work in just one ROM right now, til we get something stable, and then u can differentiate and customize.... because it would be nice to see preludedrew and bcnice, barnacles and echo (which are all awesome devs) working together, and i think we would get something solid faster

Just my opinion, i think you have accomplish a lot already as it is tho, and for that i thank you
[EVO 4G Android Development] echoside:
Issue Tracker now up!

And you can still push files if you want. Although pushing a different framework-res could cause issues.
[EVO 4G Android Development] vbetts:
Right now, that's probably not a priority for this rom.
[EVO 4G Android Development] echoside:
In a way this one is. Prelude has helped a little in fact the night source was released we were both up the whole night compiling it and he helped out alot with some issues I ran into. That is also our goal with this rom is to have something that multi developers work on and we already have another person working on it with us no, bigrushdog, which already has been a giant help. Although prelude isnt "part of the team" he has had some influence in making it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] GeJohnO:
Any guidance on how to get facebook contact sync working? Thanks!
[EVO 4G Android Development] echoside:
funny you should ask that right now. we think we just got it fixed and it should be in the update coming out later tonight.
[EVO 4G Android Development] :
Nope, nothing special. Just make sure you do a full wipe since you're coming from a Sense rom. Gapps are in the OP. You can always nand restore, no problem.
[EVO 4G Android Development] :
I flashed the Savage v1.3.4 kernel on top of this rom and bluetooth is now working great. GPS locks on very quickly but still has trouble staying locked on. My news and weather widget can now find the location also.

How much of the improvement can be attributed to the kernel and how much to the further cache and dalvik wipe, I don't know.
[EVO 4G Android Development] barnacles10:
Contacts sync fine for me. If your talking about facebook images it seems hit or miss on some of my contacts but most sync np problem. Ill look into this more

As for gallery all my images shoe fine. Just took a pic and a screenshot to see and both show in gallery right away. New release should be coming soonish :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] treoo0_1:
Anyone else think the ability to hide the zoom buttons within the browser is one of the best features of cyanogen roms? Anyone friends w/ someone that could help this rom do the same?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Clark008:
I'll wait until next build before cross referencing with that list before listing feedback since it appears devs will be fixing most of these issues, as you've said. Thanks.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ebenebeneben:
My phone is just like the first day I bought it. I've done nothing to it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Clark008:
In that case, you need to root your phone first if you want to do any kind of customization. There's a root guide in the first page of this forum section. I also probably wouldn't recommend going straight to gingerbread though since it's unstable.

Another thing, if you want to flash the new market update you must run the stock market app first and then you can go into recovery and flash, if you try to flash it immediately after flashing the rom you will get FCs.

Progress update...I was REALLY hoping to get the next build out by now but I want to have the newest CM kernel so the newer builds can use the camera. Between the time of year it is, my computer crappin out on me (again...but got a new one :)) and the kernel not wanting to get along with Salvage I havent been able to. Right now what is holding me back is GPS. It doesn't even semi work with the new build. So here is what I am thinking Im going to do. I will work on the new build a little longer IF i still dont have gps working I will upload a patch for 9.3. It wont fix many issues basically just update the kernel. Also (want to talk to barnacles first about this though) I might post the new build along side with a patched 9.3 so people that don't care about GPS can run the new build.

That being said nothing will come out till tomorrow at least. UNLESS I get gps working in the next 3 or 4 hours. Sorry if this is rambling and hard to understrand I just wanted you to know we are still working on salvage and have not forgot about you guys/gals =P
[EVO 4G Android Development] KLLSWITCH:
Thanks for the update man great work so far!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[EVO 4G Android Development] Clark008:
Thanks for the progress update! What about wifi? Still having wifi scanning issues.

Edit: Err. I think this might've been Salvage Kernel v1.3.4. I lost track of all the posts and threads I'm following =\ Esp since I'm flashing so many of them.
[EVO 4G Android Development] aimbdd:
Hey echo, have you looked at the new savage kernel? (Wifi gps and bluetooth all work pretty much everytime now for me)
[EVO 4G Android Development] treoo0_1:
Thanks for the update
[EVO 4G Android Development] :
I agree, and the battery life definitely trumps CM's offering.
[EVO 4G Android Development] b1indsided:
I just flashes the latest one and my camera force cloeses. Any help??
[EVO 4G Android Development] :
Did you wipe cache and dalvik? You can try to wipe the cache and dalvik again, then reflash the rom. If that doesn't help a full wipe might be necessary.
[EVO 4G Android Development] b1indsided:
Its a fresh flash though. I have hardware 004 maybe thats why.
[EVO 4G Android Development] aimbdd:
yeah. no reason to go into camera app because it doesn't work for you anyway :P
[EVO 4G Android Development] echoside:
To answer a few peoples comments. The reason I am using CM's new kernel instead of Savage's is because CM's has the camera drivers for newer evos. The new savage build at the moment only has the new wifi drivers.

im still working on it.....sorry guys/gals I will post later tonight where I am at.
[EVO 4G Android Development] VizardIchigo:
So we should have an update for Savage that will support hardware revision 0003/0004 with new kernel drivers .... If so awesome!

Im sure we will. I think I heard they are almost finished (dont quote me on that though)

Why is this rom randomly rebooting my Phone?
[EVO 4G Android Development] hammysink:
Because its alpha. Try a sense rom if stability is your bag. Alpha roms are great for those of us willing to deal with issues like reboots.

All that said you may have better luck trying a different kernel. Best of luck.

I am EXTREMELY happy to say that you will be getting an update in the next 3-4 hours. I just need to tighten up a few loose ends. Then I will upload the new build =).
