[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Keirnoth:
So I'm trying to get into su to run gfree_verify to make sure my permaroot S-off/SIM card unlock/SuperCID was successful, but I'm getting a permission denied error.

What happens is, I type adb shell, then I type su, there's a really long delay, then it tells me Permission Denied. However, when I run the Terminal Emulator from my phone and type in the su command, I get root access just fine.

I used the "official" method that is on the HTC Vision Wiki that is located here. The only thing, however, is that my Android SDK install wasn't installed using any type of installer. I just extracted a zip file and shoved it in a random folder. I did make sure to run the Command Prompt as Administrator before issuing the adb shell command, but I'm still unable to get superuser access through the PC. Trying to use the adb root command gives me an "adbd cannot run as root in production builds" error.

Did I do something incorrectly?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blackknightavalon:
adb kill-server

adb start-server

See if that works. If not, try rebooting your computer.

Does the Superuser app seem to be installed correctly on your phone ?

Do you have the output from gfree ? I wonder if it didn't work correctly with your kernel, it doesn't work with all kernels. What ROM/kernel do you have ?

Which procedure did you use, the one in the Wiki, or one involving dd'ing the eng hboot ?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Keirnoth:
I rebooted the daemeon, computer, and also the phone. No dice.

The Superuser app is correctly installed. When I ran Adfree and attempted to go into SU in Terminal, I got the usual Allow Superuser access dialog. Both worked without any problems; like I said, I can get root access from the on-the-phone terminal, it's when I attempted to get root access from the adb shell command on my computer where I have problems.

No special ROMs, completely stock post-November OTA update. The only thing I flashed after permarooting was the Clockwork Recovery mod, but adb shell SU wasn't working before this. I initially used some outdated instructions (involving the use of the dd command, and the wpathis.ko or something). I read some more and learned these were out of dated, so I unrooted. I then used the instructions that are on the wiki using gfree to permroot.

gfree_verify works without any problems if I run it from the Terminal Emulator on my phone. Returns the proper values to indicate I'm SIM Unlocked, SuperCID, and S-off. I'm glad it works, but I still don't like the fact I can't use the adb shell. Typing characters on the G2 is a pain in the ass.

I still want to know why I can't enter superuser from the PC adb shell. Am I doing something incorrectly?

Thanks a lot for your help!

Try clearing data for the SuperUser app?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dietotherhythm:
go in your recovery screen from boot, select your mount options, and mount everything lol. Not sure if it'll fix it but everytime I have adb permission issues that seems to fix it and I don't think it could hurt.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Keirnoth:
This worked perfectly! When I entered su from the command prompt, the SuperUser app popped up on the phone's side and I hit allow. It then let me through.

What exactly was broken though? Why did mounting everything from the Clockwork Recovery menu fix this?

Is 4g working? n what abt HDMI out?
[EVO 4G Android Development] royer10r:
Awesome!.....

Now i can stop hitting the refresh button on the development thread..

vaelek... your the man... your picture is creepy... but your the man!
[EVO 4G Android Development] vaelek:
4G is working yes. HDMI should be working fine but I don't have a cable so I can't test.
[EVO 4G Android Development] uniquenameevo:
I miss this ROM. You do awesome work, think I will try it again. The updates look pretty hot.

I can answer the HDMI question this evening if no one beats me.
[EVO 4G Android Development] runner77:
The new 3.0 is working great for me. Thank you Vaelek!!

STILL THE BEST ROM AVAILABLE!!!!
[EVO 4G Android Development] sladehawke:
Excellent Sir!

Installing on HW004 now.

2 minutes 47 seconds from reboot to initial setup... Looks good to go for those who came from hboot2.02 & HW004

Had to sync contacts manually, but that is certainly no big deal... and I like that the new setup asks you to turn on wifi before it downloads anything. I guess I don't like the new adw.launcher with the customizable center widget... that sucks when you have to create a new "open launcher widget" and drag that over your accidentally customized center-widget-that-used-to-be a-launcher/trashcan.

***I prefer the HTC people/dialer/messaging over AOSP, but i can't seem to find the messaging app anymore... Is it missing? Any chance they could be side-by-side again (or available in vp settings)? ***

Also, which version of swype is the new stock one?

[edit: I just noticed the "(will be) available via Vaelpak Settings" note had the extra set of parenthesis... I guess Vaelpak settings hasn't got the upgrade yet...
[EVO 4G Android Development] royer10r:
VaelPak settings is messed up for me

i wiped data, cache, and davlic several times

then flashed the ROM and it worked (works) great...

after i got it all set up i thought i would change to high res

so i--

-open VaelPak settings

-granted SU permissions

-selected Amon recovery -which i use

-hit screen resolution

-selected HighRes

-clicked reboot now when it asked

-after reboot -no change

-opened vaelpak settings -and it rebooted without warning

-after reboot still no change so cleared vaelpak settings --cache

-opened it back up and apparently it didn't clear the cache because it rebooted by itself again

-after reboot still not highRes so..

-uninstalled vealpak settings then reinstalled the market version and same thing

-it did re ask the SU and Recovery questions but same thing is happening..
[EVO 4G Android Development] eeeeeeeeek:
Vael,

Great work, love your stuff, I wanted to know if you've tried any other kernel's yet or if you might recommend one that you think will mesh well with your latest update. Thanks for your work
[EVO 4G Android Development] neodorian:
Looks cool and I'm downloading now. One question: what's the easiest way to get rid of the blue "Vaelpak" and "Notifications" text on the pull down shade? It's the one thing that kinda looks out of place with that font and I'm an a-hole when it comes to that stuff. Is it just a matter of flashing a theme over it?

-open problems?

-yes, do it in response to auto-upgrade for busybox

-reboot

-open Titanium

-backup/restore

Titanium then starts it's process like normal until it just closes the program and jumps to the Vaelpak bootscreen.

[EVO 4G Android Development] subminimal:
put version 3.0 on both my and my wife's phone yesterday. Things went well until today when both of us have had something keeping the phone awake. Both phones are HW 003 using Netarchy 4.3.1 havs-nosbc-cfs.

PRI/NV are both 1.77 but radio/wimax are 11.19/27167 respectively. Didn't know if anyone else has had wakelock issues or have suggestions.

Edit: I did some additional searching and appears facebook app may be causing the issue if notifications are turned on. Still would be interested if anyone else has had similar issues.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Smidgers:
I would suggest updating to latest pri/nv.. I had a similar issue on another rom and updating seemed to fix for me.
[EVO 4G Android Development] gingson:
Ignore my sig..........I just came back and installed this version after trying all the available roms out there. I must say this is a fast rom. I have the sbc kernel with no issues so far. I have updated to 3.0.1 to correct the fc issues on settings, but I still get the fc when I press the wallpaper setting. Its no bigie cuz this can be changed via LP anyway.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Smidgers:
I'm always looking to test out new roms. Been several weeks for me and I can't find a rom that I've stayed on for more than a few hours before coming back to this. This rom has just enough sense removed without losing functionality. Its as fast as any rom out there and battery life has been great (over 24 hours with my usual use).

The vaelpak settings app is a huge selling point. Provides lots of customization options (font, animations, screen density) that can be flashed author worrying about breaking anything else.

With that said, does anyone know if the dev is working on a new version? I want to find something to flash thats actually an upgrade to this!!
[EVO 4G Android Development] Nnyan:
I had the same thing (and came to the same conclusion as you did) but in the end it turned out to the fact that I removed FriendStream and Peep which the HTC Framework syncs to. So I had a constant sync issue that killed my battery. Not sure if this is your problem but it sounded just like mine.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Nnyan:
What exactly are you missing/not working/needs improvement? Don't take me wrong I flash a great deal too but I have one or two BASE roms that I use day in and day out for normal use. If it works then it works and use it.

Anyway have you tried checking out Vaelek's website? 3.1 beta 1 is out.

My stock FroYo performance has been really slow. Text messaging performance even worse and I lost all my text history on my way to work this morning.

Now I think its time to give this ROM a try.

Thank you Vael!

This is my first attempt at using a ROM on any Android device.

Do you have to root the device before using this version? If so, can you recommend a root.

Any further tips or instructions would be greatly appreciated.

How long should I expect the entire process to take?

Hardware version 0002

Android Version 2.2

Kernel 2.6.32.17
[EVO 4G Android Development] misfit0313:
Yes, you need to root! The unrevoked method for rooting should work fine for your phone. Find it at unrevoked.com. There is a root guide thread by zirconix that is very informative. That's the method I used. I would read that thread first before attempting to root your phone with any method. There are also guides how to create a nandroid, how to flash a Rom, how to update your radio and pri, etc. Just use search and Google a lot...

[EVO 4G Android Development] twoeleven99:
is there a version without the vp icons?changelog?
[EVO 4G Android Development] vaelek:
Font changer: look in /system/app in the rom zip for the apk.

3.1: it is a full rom, but can be flashed over 3.0. Changes are listed in the 3.1 beta thread on vaelek.com (don't have a direct link handy sorry)

Vp icons: at this moment there is not a version without them. I'm almost done with the theme builder in vps which will take care of this so I don't have to maintain different versions and you will be able to customize to your liking.

[EVO 4G Android Development] Mr.37:
This ROM is freakin' AWESOME ... I am coming from warm 2.2, it was nice but this is 2x faster IMHO. My EVO never scored 1425 (Quadrant) without OC in ay ROM but this. Vael-Settings, FONT changer, built-in lunchers and many more are exclusive to this.

Few things that I would really Like to change ...

1. Is there a way to get a theme for SWYPE (BLACK) like the one in warm ...?

2. Power controls in notification bar would be a huge advantage ... is it possible ...?

3. Any way to switch back to SENSE Music Player ...?

Thank YOU very much for this amazing ROM.
[EVO 4G Android Development] misfit0313:
As for your #2 request, there are notification controls in vaelpak 3.1 beta. To find it go to Vaelek's website at vaelek.com and look for it there or else just Google vaelpak 3.1 beta and it should come up.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Mr.37:
Thanks misfit0313 for the tip.

Alright I got the answer to the this question, if you go into the vaelpak setting you can revert back to the SENSE Music player. I wish the default music player MIUI that came with this ROM the didn't have purplish/pinkish background :mad:
[EVO 4G Android Development] misfit0313:
The current music player from miui doesn't have the purple and has awesome features such as lyrics and album cover downloading. The apk should work from miui should work fine on vaelpak. I'm driving and can't post the file now, maybe someone else has it available now, or I can post tomorrow.

Also, have you tried the honeycomb music player?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Mr.37:
Alright I have the MIUI player and the background IS kinda purplish ... but whatever color it is I don't like it. I prefer gray/black background. NO I haven't tried the honeycomb player but now that you have mentioned I am gonna dive into Google to find it.

3.1 Update 2 - Fixed density with toggles / lockmod!

3.1 update 2 has just been posted in VPS Flash mods.

Anyone who has been holding back on 3.1 because of the density issue, IT IS FIXED! Now you can enjoy the toggles & lockscreen mod at any density you want. (To the best of my knowledge, NO other rom has solved the density problem)

Full changelog & screen shots here

To the above post, I do not currently have a mod with the lockscreen that does not have the new theme. It is more than just the app, there are major framework changes to get those options. If you have not played around in Theme Builder in VPS yet, I am going to be getting some more things up there and one will be more of a stock theme, now that I finally have the kinks worked out.

As of right now, 3.1 Beta + Update 2 should be considered RC1.

Is there going to be a final soon?

I've been using a beta for a while and updated the beta also last week.

I love your rom because it's the most stable out of all the other roms.

Everything works...

LIKE EVERYTHING!

I just wish more devs made themes for your rom.

I barely see any themes!

Make some more themes !
[EVO 4G Android Development] vaelek:
I have a thread here for the updates - http://vaelek.com/viewtopic.php?f=33&t=632

So far the changes are as follows:

It should not cause any boot looping assuming you are flashing it over 3.1 to start with. Are you still having this problem?

I am hoping to have a final out this weekend. Things are proving to be very stable, and for the most part I have only minor changes to make yet. Really at this point I would consider it to be final already. There was a few angry folks when the first 3.0 final turned out to be a dud, so I've taken great care to make sure that does not happen again. By my best count, I have about 600 people running 3.1 right now with no issues. You are right, there isn't much for themes yet, but I'm also going to work on getting more things up in the VPS Theme Builder as well.
[EVO 4G Android Development] lawsonmh15:
I should've been more clear. I had no trouble flashing update 3, just v1 theme. I haven't tried flashing theme v1 since installing u3... should it work now that u3 is flashed?
[EVO 4G Android Development] vaelek:
Oh I see.. Apparently I also should have been more clear. The VP Theme is meant only for 3.0. If you have 3.1, you've already got everything that is in it. It looped because I have made a lot of changes to the framework in 3.1, and mixing it with the parts of the framework from 3.0 that are in that theme zip doesn't play nice.
