Been one since .9.1 build and the only reboot I've had was when my phone had been on for close to 100 hours. But my phone did that before I rooted too

Is there any way to remove the boot animation? I mean no disrespect to the devs, I'm just curious to seewhat the stock animation is.
[EVO 4G Android Development] c01e:
Ditto on the Animation Removal! I always thought custom boot animations were cool, But they really put the user at risk of having hardware issue claims denied by Sprint. If they notice the logo, Regardless of whats wrong with the device (lets say for example, The Screen's backlight failed 2 months in) They now have an easy out to not help you.

Not saying people who break their device through misuse should game sprint or anything, But I find it annoying BS how they will find the most bas-ackwards reasons to deny a defect or failure while in warranty period just because some of us happen to HATE sense...

Crazy how that same crud never seems to fly in the computer industry... HP at one time tried to claim that installing another OS would render the PC un-serviceable, Regardless of warranty. Yeah, Didn't fly... They never even tried to enforce it from my understanding, Now they just seem to wipe the HDD and reinstall the factory OS. I say Sprint and other carriers do the same.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jhdreamer:
Seriously guys?

Bootanimation is very easy to change.... please do a little searching.

Also, If you try to turn your phone in for warranty running this rom bootanimation is not your biggest issue. Just run a frikn ruu.

im glad to hear that, i know every dev will want their own little teaks and customizations, but i personally love when they get together and tackle these issues. It really shows the engagement in the xda community, and the dedication you guys have for making the latest code available to us normal users... So a big THANK YOU

aight ima stop the flattery, im gonna flash and try it out

In Gingerbread, the icons are supposed to be grey when the phone is not connected to Google's servers. When it connects to Google's servers the icons turn green. There may still be an issue with some of the Google apps, i'm not sure. But replacing the grey icons with the green ones would probably not be a good idea because it would mask a feature of Gingerbread

The release tonight, do we need the previous release installed first or can we flash tonights release as a fresh install?

Does anyone have a zip to turn the status bar to green? In evervolves thread they posted on to turn gray

via gingerbread evo
[EVO 4G Android Development] barnacles10:
We are under the impression that the green is used when connected to google. Once we get a break from actually fixing what still needs to be fixed, we will have more time to investigate. As echo said though, swapping those icons might be removing a feature of gingerbread. Ideally, we would like the green icons to come up when they are actually called the way google intended.
[EVO 4G Android Development] evohog:
Cool, thanks .its not a big deal just visually appealing to me.someone made me a zip so its got the green. Itll will be a whole lot better when it does whats its supposed to do.awesome rom thanks and your work is greatly appreciated.

Thanks for the reply echo. Exactly what I wanted to know.

Listen guy, next time, why don't you properly read the post before respond with your nonsense. My post was two sentences long. It shouldn't be that hard to comprehend and yet you managed to post a snarky reply that has nothing to do with what I said. I've done plenty of searching, and I am well aware of how to push custom boot animations to the phone. What I was asking had nothing to do with that. Next time read the sentences, sound out the words and then post a reply.

I know you think you were being clever and witty. You, sir, are not clever and/or witty. This board is an excellent resource for people interested in Android development. There are many helpful people, echo included, who are interested in seeing it remain a helpful community. Unfortunately, like many communities, there are people who detract from that experience. Your snarky replies and "try searching" replies help nobody, especially if you don't take the time to read and understand the original post. As far as I am concerned, there are two types of people on this board: knowledgable people dispensing said knowledge and knowledge seeking people. There will be questions asked and there will be questions answered. Please figure out to which group you belong.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ssconceptz:
Regardless, if you take a rooted phone with a custom rom into Sprint you will be denied........... back on topic

can't wait until the next release.....
[EVO 4G Android Development] jhdreamer:
I didn't quote your post guy. I quoted c01e. The moral of my response was don't return you phone with a custom rom, period.

I know how to push bootanimations, hell I build my own bootanimations.

The response was not for you so calm down with the dramatics.

Next time you imply that someone is not knowledgeable please spell the word knowledgeable correctly. </dramatics>

Moving on to posts relevant to this this rom:

I have had the issue where my market works at first but after trying to download an app it fc's until i reboot. Force stopping the market doesn't help.

Is anyone having that issue with this build?

Just flashed everything, the whole enchalada...looking and running good so far.
[EVO 4G Android Development] c01e:
Well, As I can see I have started what appears to be a flame war on the topic of custom boot animations. Allow me to put in my final say on the matter...

If its so easy to change boot animations, Then may I play devil's advocate here, Why not leave that up to the end user and STOP putting one in by default that people may not like?

While this is COMPLETELY my own opinion, and I do not intend to get people to change, So to sum it up, Whatever the builder chooses to use is fine with me. But I feel they are needlessly putting their users at greater risk for some rinky dink "wow" factor...

Edit: Notice how I say MY OWN OPINION, Now I'm done with that topic.

More important, Anyone have issues with the GPS refusing to power up after the rom was installed? I saw notes about it being kinda finicky on pg 1 but finicky is better then stone dead ya know :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] barnacles10:
Let me respond to your post.

First, the stock animation that came with your phone is sprints. Putting sprints animation on an aosp rom is the exact same thing, replacing the stock. Your phone is not stock, it is hacked. Boot screens are a very very simple change as they are simply a zip. You need to know nothing other than dragging and dropping within a file explorer. If people are concerned about their phone "looking modified" then run an RUU and don't root it. But to anyone with knowledge enough to root their phone would know to RUU before taking it in for service. As you said, leave it up to the user. If you wana change it, then go head bro. I dunno why this has been talked about so much. Its a boot animation. And to be honest, its the closest to PURE AOSP STOCK that you can get without it saying "android". Just so you know :) I don't see how this is a big deal. We are compiling gingerbread from source. Gingerbread is not out for the evo. Therefore there is no official boot animation cause hell, we don't know what it will be. It will also be a sense rom.. So you're phone is far from stock mang, no sense throwing a sprint htc evo 4G boot animation in a aosp source build =P

Not trying to start a war, just explaining what is going on here

Back on topic, GPS is still a bit iffy, but locks for me fine.
[EVO 4G Android Development] novanosis85:
When downloading through WiFi and turning screen off the download stops. WiFi sleep policy is set to never... any ideas?

Oh can you tell me why battery life is so good? What's in the kernel? Bfs,cfs, or hvac?
[EVO 4G Android Development] novanosis85:
Oh I see its cfs.
[EVO 4G Android Development] aimbdd:
you can go get bfs of the same kernel from HERE

WOO Green icons!!

Almost every dev has their own boot animation... why start an argument here.

EDIT: Suggestion for the devs, if you added 4g support to this rom i am sure tons of people would run it haha.

The newest version of the kernel you use supports it now.
[EVO 4G Android Development] novanosis85:
No way 4g is not ready. Still not ready for primetime.
[EVO 4G Android Development] SoFLO.:
GPS locks on fine for me as well. Haven't tried navigation though.

And yeah 4G is in alpha stage right now.
[EVO 4G Android Development] c01e:
Understood, But my post is mainly to point out that sprint (just like any carrier) loves to look for loopholes to not support defects, This is what worries me. As I work every day in the support industry I get to first hand see what underhanded tactics companies use to screw users. The important thing to me is that users who Can't RUU because of random defects do not get screwed out of a warranty they paid anywhere from $199 to $499 for... And trust me, I Have seen some people F***ed by this exact thing, Custom rom/tweaks on phone (Or ipod, etc...) with random MFG defect denied because user had no way to revert to stock...

Thats my point, Users with legitimate issues are at greater risk from custom boot animations (by custom you are right, I mean different then "sprint" stock) Due to carriers/manufacturers looking for ANY ways to deny coverage to cut into that bottom line... Its how business is done these days, But no one said its a clean business to begin with.

No disrespect, I love the work you have done on Frost Rom and This now... And I Support the efforts of android users/hackers everywhere. But the group I Also support that many here seem to not (the dude who attacked me first is a good example,) is the idiots that just want a better OS on their phone. And They are the people who don't know the danger of custom roms and I find its all our responsibility (as being a complete idiot to technology ourselves way back when) to help them improve.

One last thing, Once again, I want to make it clear that beyond this post, I plan to not bring this discussion up again in this thread or this forum for that matter, As I understand that it seems to be a topic better left alone. I do NOT wish to troll or anything of the sort, So I will furthermore I withdraw from this topic as a poster, And resume my habits of lurking 99.99% of the time. Good Day Ladies and Gents.
[EVO 4G Android Development] :
So... how bout them Yankees? Back on topic :)

GPS seems to be the next big hurdle, I can get a lock but most (if not all) location based apps don't seem to work right yet.

I'm also going on vacation to mexico on the 23rd so video recording would be an added value as well. No rush. :)

[EVO 4G Android Development] ride518:
Try turning off the "use wireless networks" in the location settings and only use GPS. That worked for me. I think it tries to use towers first and then uses GPS to lock in but it seems that it can never find a location with towers. When you turn that off, it goes straight to using GPS and finds a location fairly quickly.

I have clockwork recovery installed and keep trying to flash the gapps over the current ROM and cannot get them to work.
[EVO 4G Android Development] c01e:
Heh, Location Temporarily un-available, Looks to be that my evo just does NOT like gingerbread as of yet... It would appear that shutting down the network based location option just caused the GPS to shut down entirely. (Note, I can tell the difference because network based location sucks in my town and places me 400 yards in the wrong direction, Then GPS would lock and move the marker to the right location, Then shut off and back out to the boonies I go... lol)

Side note, Thanks for the tip to try. I think Im going to play around with a different rom for a bit then try to reload from scratch and see what happens.

EDIT: Ok, NVM, Spoke to soon, Rebooted twice (installed clockwork mod over AmunRA for the fun of it) and now the GPS is working great!
