That makes sense. Out of curiosity, where is the best place to check for Rom updates. Took awhile to find a link to 3.1 and I'm guessing there are better places than others to stay on top of updates.
[EVO 4G Android Development] vaelek:
I do try to come back here with updates but since I launched my own forums, I'll admit I spend most of my time there. I was more or less ordered to remove the call-out to it from my sig here.

Once 3.1 is final I will start a new thread here, but all releases can always be found at http://vaelek.com/viewforum.php?f=3 . Currently, the 3.1 thread is in the 3.0 forum as a sticky, but I will be creating one just for 3.1 here soon. Anything pertaining to the 3.1 updates in vps are announced here http://vaelek.com/viewtopic.php?f=33&t=632

Also, I totally forgot to mention it here, but there is now a VaelPak Forums app in the Market as of Saturday. It is free of course. It's a few days out of date, but there is also a News section in there on the more tab that I am going to try and make sure is always current. Finally, you can follow me on Twitter (http://twitter.com/vaelek) as I announce a lot there too.

The site is very basic right now, but if you don't want or like the forum app, the news section in it is pulled from http://vaelpak.vaelek.com/

That should keep you busy for a while ;)
[EVO 4G Android Development] lawsonmh15:
Sounds good. Can't wait to see 3.1 final. Yours is the only sense Rom to be on my phone more than an hour before flashing back to cyanogen. Love vps and just installed 1.17 from the market. Question though, why aren't there options for nosbc kernels in vps? Also, no links to any of the 4.3.2 kernels? I flashed 4.3.2 cfs nosbc more havs and haven't noticed any issues. Also, has anyone tried flashing a snap kernel over this? I know its aosp but have heard with some find its not an issue... kind of wishing shift would look at vp and see if 9 would work with it...
[EVO 4G Android Development] lawsonmh15:
One last note, I see a lot of people talking about the music player. Has anyone considered music cubed? It's music w the letter 3 after and is by far the best player I've seen. Incredibly unique transitions and display options:
[EVO 4G Android Development] vaelek:
All of the kernels in VPS that are not in the Trickle Charge section are NOSBC. The lack of 4.3.2 is simply because I've been busy on other things. I will do my best to get them added soon. The only report I've heard about Snap is for 7.6 Turbo, and it seemed to work fine for the few that tried it. That was a few versions ago, both for snap and VP, but if it is still working on some sense roms as 7.6 was, it should work here.
[EVO 4G Android Development] lawsonmh15:
Understandable. One question: how do I choose the swype keyboard?
[EVO 4G Android Development] vaelek:
There are 4 keyboards included. Stock, Swype, Gingerbread (Labeled as Android) and Shared (type over wifi from your pc, this one has to be enabled in Settings > Lang & Keyboards). To switch between them, long press on a text field and choose Input Method.
[EVO 4G Android Development] lawsonmh15:
Easy enough... thanks
[EVO 4G Android Development] rjl09:
Hey vael,

I have been using ur rom since january...it has been excellent so far, point blank period. The only issue i'm jus wondering about is I tried using the hdmi out and it didn't work, I don't know if there was a particular app I had to use for it to work, no big deal, just testing it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] igotroot:
VAEL....

This is my official salute to you. I just came here from Stock, then Azrael X, a day with a nightly build of CM_7 #11 and then MIUI....I wanted to leave HTC Sense... I stumbled upon this page, like 4 pages on this XDA forum listing and came across VAEL PAK 3.2...

With that journey, it ends here. Your work is very commendable. I am impressed, and love the fact that it has a built in system of support and source for Mods, applications, etc etc all in one place. It's kinda like a cloud system to your Rom warehouse. No more hunting for kernels, etc. I also love the widescreen rotate, drawer and dock options, and so much more, all with 4G, and GPS that did not take forever to sync up! I just drove a 30 min trip and it was flawless. And this is a Beta? Nice..... also the apps that were included are excellent!! The wireless ADB app is a piece of genius work, LOL. You put it down in this ROM.

Now I did find the FC when I selected a widget (as u already mentioned) and I only saw one other little thing...... I use the weather widget, the one that kinda looks like the one under a stock HTC flip clock.. when I reboot, and slide the lock off, main screen says it has a widget locating issue. But, after hitting the sleep button on top of phone, and hitting the phone back to awake the widget is there, so mo real big deal.

Also, with titanium backup I have all my previous backups, etc done flawlessly EXCEPT one issue: the Bookmarks won't assimilate into this new browser. I made sure I backed up the previous Rom bookmarks with TB, so I know there in that Bookmarks file, but no such luck. Can u help me out? Thanks.
[EVO 4G Android Development] larry12345:
Will themes from mikfroyo or kings rom work on your rom? Or can you recomend themes that will work.
[EVO 4G Android Development] vaelek:
Usually HDMI issues end up being kernel related. I would try another kernel or two and see if you have better results. I still have no way of testing it myself.

As far as I know, mine is the only rom having the notification power toggles with the hotspot one working, and the density limitations solved. Because of this, due to framework differences I wouldn't recommend flashing anyone else's themes. I do now have the Theme Builder in VaelPak Settings, which will make it much easier to customize themes just how you like. There is not a huge selection yet, but if you link me to what you want I will add it to my list to add to theme builder.

I just posted 3.2 RC 1. It takes care of the RenderFX widget once and for all and should get rid of 99% of LockScreen FC's. The widget thing sounds like it may be a glitch in the widget itself. Have you tried removing/readding or even un/reinstalling it? The bookmarks I believe is because you make the bookmarks with the HTC browser, and now have the AOSP browser. What you can probably do, is in VP Settings, go to Mods > Apps and install the HTC Browser for 2.2. Then restore your bookmarks with TB. Verify that they are there. Next install MyBackup Root and back them up with that. Now go to Settings > Applications > Manage Applications > Internet and tap uninstall updates. Verify AOSP browser is back, go to MyBackup and restore the bookmarks.

The thread for that 3.2 RC1 I mentioned can be found here.
[EVO 4G Android Development] igotroot:
Thanks! Appreciate that.
[EVO 4G Android Development] igotroot:
With that new RC1..... can we just flash it over our 3.1?

I have the update 3 and theme installed as well.
[EVO 4G Android Development] vaelek:
I spent a few hours testing various upgrade paths and did not have any problems. There will always be unique cases where wipe is required, but you *should* be good to go.

Sent from my EVO
[EVO 4G Android Development] igotroot:
Should huh? :D

I will download at my lunch break, flash, and let u know!
[EVO 4G Android Development] igotroot:
I wiped from amon ra everything but user data.... and data, then flashed Rom. So far so good.
[EVO 4G Android Development] igotroot:
Can THEME V1 be flashed on top of Vaelpak 3.2?

If I'm not mistaken my MiUI player screen menu add to be a fushia color, now its just plain light gray.
[EVO 4G Android Development] vaelek:
MIUI Music was upgraded to the latest version which has a different color scheme with it.

Theme V1 is meant only for 3.0. It is already in 3.2. Flashing it here will break *something* pretty much guaranteed.
[EVO 4G Android Development] igotroot:
Ok. Thanks.

I found another possible glitch. This Rom is supposed to feature the 5mb limit for mms correct? Well, when I try to send a 3234k pic it compress it. To experiment, I flashed Cailkins anti compress mms fix, and that fixed the glitch.

Also, I'm not sure how, but the little space next to a sms on each listing of a message has a blue Android with an Apple with a line thru it, on the chest of the Android. I saw that on Myn warm 2.2 .....but I also noticed when making a phone call, the Android shown on call screen is green, and doesn't have the same blue Android with Apple crossed out. I mention this not to object to the blue, nor green android, but simply to inform you that they both look.so very different, and maybe that wasn't intended or might be an oversight.

Also, what is the share keyboard in the input options do?
[EVO 4G Android Development] vaelek:
Yes now that you mention it I see the problem. The limit is in fact raised to 5MB, but I forgot to rip out the auto-compress from the actual Messaging app (Personally I use GoSMS). This will be in 3.2 update 1. Thanks for pointing it out!

The blue android guy you see is the image for unknown contacts. This is another case of my using an alternative that caused an oversight (I use Full Screen Caller ID so I rarely see the actual in-call screen).

Share keyboard is a wifi keyboard (does work over 3g also). Open the address it shows in your browser on your PC.
[EVO 4G Android Development] igotroot:
Thanks.

Your welcome.

Another thing I notice is during a phone call, that same screen with the green Android is a illuminated gray color.....to match the rest of the ROMs black tone, I think that screen should be just black, not illuminated gray.

Also, do you mean that share keyboard let's me control my computer at home/work? From my Evo??

Also, as u make each new version, such as 3.0...3.1.... to 3.2, your support section in the update area should be updated too. Some idiots like me might flash the theme v1 because it appears as an option, even though we have 3.2 already. In otherwords if possible, each version should be directed to an applicable options screen and not all versions going to the same options screen.

And.... can u please tell me what quadrant score should we see? My speed according to that quadrant test is very low. The Linpak app also says my speed is very low too.

Just trying to be helpful.

Thanks.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jstalford:
Yeah, I was on this ROM for a bit earlier today. Linpack was like 6. Quadrant was 800. Didn't feel too sluggish, but flashed another just to see if it was me and scores were back to what I typically see. Not that scores matter at all, just sayin. Like I said. I felt fine.

This looks like a sweet ROM, didn't get too much chance to play with it today cuz I downloaded like 5 ROMs last night and was impatiently testing them out. Ended up restoring my Warm Z, but I'm going to give this a go again later this week. Customizations are crazy.
[EVO 4G Android Development] vaelek:
The other way around.. You can type on your phone from your computer's browser.

I've been trying to think of the best way to segment the updates so you only see what is for your version. This will hopefully be coming in the next VPS update. For now I have tried to take care to post big warnings where there are incompatibilities.

As far as scores go, I stopped paying attention to them long ago, however, Skydeaner over at Evo Benchers has done a very thorough set of benchmarks on just about all roms with all kernels. This test was done on 3.1, but it is essentially the same rom in final form, and is the editors choice.

These are the results of his testing, and it beats just about anything else available, and holds very well against AOSP as well.. (If you've never been to his site, hit the above link and check it out).

::How to read the test results::

All are averages of 3 runs.​

SDREAD/SDWRITE - These are 500mb tests done with "SD Card Tester". A sequential file is written to the microsd card and then read back.

GAMELEVEL and TOTAL SCORE are scores reported by An3dBench. These are a good way to estimate actual game performance. The Game level simulates an actual level in an opengl 3d game. Total score is a composite score of all the different parts of the An3dBench program.

ABSOLUTE is reported by GPUBench, another great way to tell how games are going to perform.

SpeedPI, Linpack, Quadrant, all come from self named programs.

Freememory is the available amount of ram after killing all low security programs with ATK. This was taken pre testing, mid testing, and after testing, and of course averaged.
[EVO 4G Android Development] igotroot:
I feel you.

This is going to be an awesome Rom when finalized. My phone has 3.2 flashed over 3.1, but when a final build is done, I will be doing a total wipe, and fresh install. This Rom has many hot features. But quadrant speed, linpack etc may be slower do to kernel. So far I had 17 hours of power on my 3500 battery, with two 4G ROM downloads, surfing, music playing, text, mms, calls, etc all day. Awesome. but is like faster animations and transitions. like in a spare parts to speed up screen and app movements.
[EVO 4G Android Development] igotroot:
My jaw is on the floor! Congrats.

Well, my scores were low, but maybe becAuse of my flash over 3.1? I will wipe and flash fresh. Still loving your work. I will be hitting u up with beer $ payday.

Thank you for being responsive. A sign of dedication, and great work ethic.
[EVO 4G Android Development] igotroot:
I think I said it in another post, but u are right. I got a 1298 quadrant!
[EVO 4G Android Development] undarated:
All I can say is wow. Im new to posting here on xda but not new to flashing roms dating back to the og touch days. Vael, this sh*t is amazing my friend. I figured I'd pop my posting cherry for this rom.

It's the only one I've flashed in days, and thats saying something. Good Job!!!

Don't use the one from the Market.. Install the one in VP Settings, Mods > Apps that I have fixed to work.
[EVO 4G Android Development] rocknblogger:
Sorry for the noob question but in recovery there are a lot of options to "Wipe" which ones should I choose?
[EVO 4G Android Development] ZuperBlahq:
Its usually the option that says "factory restore/wipe all user data"

and additionally you want to wipe the dalvik cache & battery stats. In clockworkmod its under advanced->wipe dalvik cache

hope that helped
[EVO 4G Android Development] rocknblogger:
Great ROM. I was just about to go back to Sprint Lovers when I saw this. The only problem I have is that when I try to go into VaelPak/Device Settings it crashes and I have to Force close VaelPak Settings.

I did install update from Marketplace.
[EVO 4G Android Development] rocknblogger:
Thank you very much
[EVO 4G Android Development] rocknblogger:
I didn't wipe the battery before flashing this ROM. I notice that after a full charge once I disconnect the batter it goes down to about 80%. Can I wipe the battery now?? Or will I have to reflash?
[EVO 4G Android Development] jstalford:
Are you using 3.0 or 3.2 RC2? 3.0 is pretty old.
[EVO 4G Android Development] rocknblogger:
I downloaded and flashed VP3.70-B20.zip. Whatever that is, is what I am using. That's the one issue I have with XDA forums is that you can never really be sure if the OP has all updated links and downloads.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jstalford:
There is a different thread for 3.2, this is the old thread. The most recent version can be found on Vaelek.com, he keeps that site much more updated than xda, though he will still respond to questions on here very quickly. I think you are def using a dated version.

Yeah I'm using the outdated version. See thats what I mean. The OP for 3.0 should be updated to let people know there's a newer version. Only takes a moment and can prevent a lot of unnecessary frustrations.

Thanks for the links. I had to go page by page to find them :(
[EVO 4G Android Development] jstalford:
To be fair, Vaelek posted about 3.2 on the same page as your first post here, although I agree it would be easier to update the OP, but the last couple pages here talk about the new version.

If you haven't done so yet, you might just want to go to the newer version in Vaelek's signature http://vaelek.com/index.php?/topic/602-vaelpak-32-rc-1/

Also, I believe there is another new release coming soon.
[EVO 4G Android Development] :
Also need to wipe 'system'. This is where the ROM files go when it's flashed. Factory restore doesn't wipe this important part.

Not needed much if sticking with the same ROM, but def needed when changing ROMs.

Did you sync your contacts upon initial setup as recommended? If not, I'd try flashing again and syncing your google account right after your device boots up.

alright, so I found out that there was an error in updating some gapp contact framework ****. i didn't get to screenshot it but it has to do with restoring my contacts via Titanium Backup.

[EVO 4G Android Development] vaelek:
There are some odd issues creeping up. It sounds like my rom is not the only 3.70 one having them. The problems installing/restoring some apps seem to be a missing permission, and it seems limited to apps that are secure/private. There may also be some lingering busybox issues. I'll be able to look more into this after work. Too many things are happening for some and not others to make heads or tails of it right now.

Lesson learned: find more thorough beta testers....
[EVO 4G Android Development] leenypost:
system config is different after newest update. You are actually the first dev to release a non stock rom based off new 3.70 ota so kudos to you for it. I know I'm not as experienced as you and only trying to be helpful based off of what I see without stepping on anyone's toes... I would suggest maybe basing your build entirely off of a stock 3.70 at this point as the structure seems much different when I look at 3.29 vs. 3.70... I would make an educated guess that existing 3.29 framework is somehow making slight conflicts with 3.70...
[EVO 4G Android Development] kakashi_s1:
yeah. it's going for everything we restore i think. My Messaging and Handcent apps are both hanging as well.
[EVO 4G Android Development] leenypost:
I have not seen anyone have complete success (myself included) with restoring apps from titanium if they were backed up on 3.29 or 3.30 and restored to 3.70... I got lucky with a few but others did not work. I go to the market and download them with no problem though. If you are going to restore using titanium try selecting to restore APP ONLY!! Do NOT restore data.
[EVO 4G Android Development] vaelek:
I have one idea brewing, but I think you may have nailed it right there. I have been able to not re-base in quite a while, but I may have to give in this time. I'm a bit bummed at how this is turning out so far... Sacrificed the entire weekend on getting 3.0 out the door...

Thanks Vaelek. For the record... My phone is running great on your 3.0 right now and the only problem I experience is trying to restore apps from Titanium like the others here.. But no messaging problems right now or any other crazyness yet. All seems fine on my 003 with 3.0!!
[EVO 4G Android Development] ctyke:
Next beta I will test with full wipe. Everything ran great without wiping, but for some reason I wanted to wipe going to 3.0...

Uhgg. ARR!! Its kinda like torture seeing all these people loving and enjoying the rom. I can't get this thing to flash correctly for the life of me. Need help. If I try flashing over a 2.3 restore I get evo screen boot loop, if I wipe everything then flash I get evo screen boot loop, if I do either of those methods but flash netarchy's kernel over the htc 15 packaged with it I get into the rom but cannot set up google account due to "reliable connection" if I wipe first, if I flash over 2.3 I just get the rom restarting ever 15 seconds or so. then when I'm past that whole ordeal unsuccesfully I try to turn on WiFi and it cannot search for networks nor will it let me save a network.

It sounds to me like you are attempting to flash this rom with the old radios from 3.29 still in place.. Is that correct? I read that the new htc kernal does not play nice with old radio version at all...

What I did was flash latest unrevoked forever.zip that is now compatible with newest radio... Then I used 3.29 ruu to set my phone back to stock... Downloaded the OTA to 3.70 directly on my phone via settings / updates / htc updates..... which updated all my radio , pri, 4g, etc... from a completely stock 3.29 state... I then flashed clockwork recovery through hboot by placing it on root of sd card as pc36img.zip....

After that I installed a stock rooted and de-odexed version of 3.70....

From there I wait for releases... Vaelek came out the gate first with a custom rom so I flashed it after doing a complete wipe 3 times... I have not had any problems with ROM other than restoring from titanium backup but people experience this problem even on stock rooted 3.70 so it is not Vaeleks ROM issue... It is issue of 3.29 vs. 3.70 system configuration differences.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ctyke:
Have you done a logcat to see what is locking up?

I noticed you had some issues with the radio upgrade. Maybe put the latest stock sense rooted ROM, re-patch the radios and then try 3.0??
