[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] pegb856:
First thing that I noticed was the slider mechanism had no resistance or spring to it, allowing the keyboard to to slide out easily and not remain seated tightly when closed. I feel the keyboard it's self is fine but the slider had way too much play in it which makes me think it will eventually have the "oreo effect" that so many Pre users experienced. The volume rocker button is horribly placed and I kept adjusting the volume when I didn't want to. Yes the power button is awkwardly placed but so is the Evo's. The 1st call I made with the Shift it told me I was on US cellular and needed to dial something special to dial out (my 3G signal had turned to a roaming triangle), it seemed to not have a very strong signal. Not by how many bars I had but by the performance in my home compared to other devices I've had. The device felt heavier in the hand than the Evo does (they only weigh 1/10th ounce different). With that being said I have found this with almost all devices with a slide out physical keyboard, they just have that clunky feeling.

Just remember, these are only my personal impressions and feelings about the Shift. Overall I was just very disappointed with the design of the Shift and choose to bite the big one a swap it for the Evo and so far I am not regretting it, except for not being able to utilize nfinite's fantastic Android development talents .

I'm sure many of these things that were issues for me will not bother many people, I'm just a bit of a perfectionist and more often than not what is perfect in my mind is not so for others. :-) The Shift just wasn't the one for me.

Hope this clarifies my thoughts.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] bobtsunam:
Totally agree on the keyboard. I had a cliq before this and while the phone was nothing compared to the shift where performance is concerned, the keyboard on the cliq felt solid. It was spring loaded and seated well in the open and closed positions. I would have rather had the extra width on this phone to have the same type of mechanism the cliq had. Haven't had a chance to play with the o.g. EVO but from the numbers the shift out performs it all over the board. Truth be told the only reason I didn't get the Evo was the size. I don't even use the physical keyboard on my shift.

[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] pegb856:
I only got the shift because of the Evo's size also, but I have a blackberry that I will never give up and switch back and forth alot and have found the Evo's keyboard width in portrait mode is very similar to my experience size wise to my curve. No issues so far with it. I too had no intention of using the keyboard on the shift, if Sprint would have a high end Android device with a 3.5-4" screen without a keyboard I would have been all over it a long time ago. My Evo is performing better for me than the Shift did, but I may have just had a lemon.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] bobtsunam:
I am currently rooted and just running stock with bc's 1.8 oc/uv kernel. Loving it with quadrant scores breaking 2500. Comin from the cliq that is just ridiculous. Couldn't ask for better performance for the price.

[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] nfinitefx45:
Thanks and it has been a good birthday overall, but my shift looks like it wont be hear till tomorrow because of a snow storm last night.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] pegb856:
It's a bummer that your phone got delayed because of that darn snow. It must have hit you during the night, it ended here last evening by 8pm and it was headed your direction. :o
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] tstack77:
Very off-topic but a great bandaid till it's implemented: Get widgetsoid 2.0 (it's free) from the market and create your own notification bar settings. Really easy and it works great...I'm a little upset that I paid for Extended Controls when widgetsoid is so much better.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] csharp21:
I have tried probably 20 times and get this same error exactly. anybody have any thoughts?
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] BrandoKC:
If you get the error try a reboot. I believe it has still flashed.

Sent from my HTC Evo Shift 4G
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] p3tr0s:
i get the error everytime i flash this rom.... all is well though, just ignore it and reboot and it runs great! (yes i said everytime, just because this is my goto rom... i try other ones but always come back to this one) :)
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] csharp21:
well I booted it and it worked but gave me tons of force closes even after wiping. I restored and I guess I'll try it again, I know these roms are the best I've had so I'm sure it'll work out just fine, especially once he gets time to tinker with it a little more. thanks for the answers
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] beezie916:
The ROM has worked fine since I flashed and booted....

NO errors or anything....

Flashed the riptide theme and all is well...
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] foolforfood:
Anybody else had the phone freeze when turning off the 4G in the 4G setting pane? I've had it happen three times in a row, running this ROM and the 1.8 kernel at any frequency. Just curious if anybody can help me with this.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] danaff37:
No problems whatsoever here, but running the 1.51 kernel
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] beezie916:
Guessing your referring to the 4G setting in Settings - Wireless & Networks - 4g?

If so..nope smooth as butter...just tried it twice that way as opposed to the HTC widget...

:cool:
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] oxeneers:
Way stoked on this. The Power Bar for the notification bar is a huge thing to most of us, seeing as how it's included on most EVO ROMs and is such a time/lifesaver.

Also, hopefully you can include the newest versions of the Sprint_VVM.apk and Google Maps and stuff in the package. Saves so much time on updating everything.

Thanks nf, happy birthday!
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] foolforfood:
Yeah that's where it happens for me. Maybe I should redownload and reflash, I had the same installation error that some others have had. Thanks though I appreciate the feedback!
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] d1msum4lyfe:
And the newest market :D
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] beezie916:
Might be phone clocked to high? Try turning speed down....
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] foolforfood:
Yeah that's what I thought as well, but it does it at stock speed as well as overclocked. I think I'll try and redownload and reflash. Thanks!
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] alvinleephd:
can't wait for the new version. haven't rooted my phone yet but it looks like it'll be well worth it for this :D
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] pegb856:
nfinite, I know I don't have a Shift but I'm still checking in to see how things are going. Noticed you've vanished for a couple days, I certainly hope everything is ok in your neck of the woods.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] nfinitefx45:
had to attend my aunts funeral in VA , so was home for a few days with family. got my shift a few hours ago and just playing around with it. Love this phone
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] beezie916:
Its pretty sweet...love the fact even stock all the benchmarks blow the EVO away even though it is technically faster...and no comparassion to my old Crapsung Moment/intercept/transform lol....I love this phone.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] pegb856:
I had a feeling something was going on on the home front for you. I'm so sorry to hear about your loss. My prayers are with your family.

On a lighter note I'm glad to hear you're loving your Shift so far. I personally should have went with a keyboardless device in the beginning as I'm loving my Evo so far. I'm really bummed that I'm not going to have a pink themed ROM to look forward to though. :)

Have a fantastic day, we have another storm blowing your direction..
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] kbrn:
Hello all!

I just decided to try this rom.

When I installed I get an error at the end of the flash

but I rebooted and It did flash,it ran with no fc's and everything seems good.

Now I want to add the 1.8 kernel I was using before with the warmrom

wich is Sense-1.8ghz-bfq-test1.zip

But When I install it and try to reboot I get stuck in a boot loop so I'm guessing something isn't compatible.

I would like to know if it is so.

Thanks!

Oh! and if not which kernel is the one that works fine.

:)
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] StringerE:
If you haven't already, try installing the 1.5 kernel first and verify that it works and then install the 1.8 kernel. When I went straight to a 1.8 kernel I experienced boot loops.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] bobtsunam:
I think have to flash the 1.5 kernel before the 1.8 as I have read in other threads.

Sent from my Evo Shift.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] kbrn:
I did install 1.5 and works fine.. I'm tired of playing with the phone right now so I'm gonna run like this for a bit and then might try flashing 1.8 later.

Thanks a lot guys!!

p.d. will report later
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] mcarrion78:
Just flash the 1.8 bfs bfq kernel and u should be good to go.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] vrundmc:
When I flashed 1.8 my phone was stuck in a boot loop. Pulling the battery didn't fix it.

Also, is there a vanilla lockscreen I can flash? I want to use typography wall as my wallpaper and don't need the time function on my lockscreen.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] everydaysince87:
Try to wipe cache then dalvik cache flash 1.8 and reboot I'm running it now....all I did was flash the Rom booted into phone reboot to recovery wipe cache and dalvik then flash the 1.5 boot to phone then reboot to recovery wipe cache and dalvik again then flash 1.8....that might be to many steps but I'm running it smooth as ever
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] bobtsunam:
What's the difference between the two 1.8 sense kernels that bc has?

Sent from my Evo Shift.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] nfinitefx45:

[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] alvinleephd:
will the hotspot work with 4g?

thanks for your great work so far :D
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] Aaargh!:
Sounds great and thanks again for the great work. Will donate when the pay check comes this week.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] d1msum4lyfe:
Can you release a zip of the stock battery?

Just not a big fan of the %

J/w...
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] nfinitefx45:
no it currently does not work with 4G, just wifi and 3G

yes I will do that.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] BuddahWolf01:
I'm currently getting excited about the update you are working on.

I flashed the current version yesterday and it has been flying!
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] Dread 7us:
This is very exciting news!

[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] ozzie1p:
You da' man Nfinite, always ran your rom's on the hero.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] Jeezimus:
Think the hotspot will ever be able to be unlocked for use with 4G? That would be (even more) incredible!
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] xFilthyxJesusx:
I was also wondering what the difference was?

What exactly is this 512k fix?

EXCELLENT!

Awesome, if you get a chance could you elaborate a little?

So appreciated, much more accurate reading.

Helpful, debug notification is annoying.

Why does the flash player need to be modded for Hulu to work? And does this cause any known problems?

THIS IS THE BEST ADDITION! My buddy has the Epic and I envy his power controls in the notification bar sooooo much.

Very much looking forward to your ROM nfinite, so far of all the ROMs I've looked thru, yours seems the most suitable for my needs. Can't wait for the release :D What's the snafu with the 4G not working?
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] SirRipo:
So uh, these features are the only reason i've been holding off on rooting/flashing a custom rom. As soon as this release drops I'll be downloading/flashing.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] tambourineman86:
Flash player needs to be modded because Hulu probably made a deal with Adobe to have it not work until Hulu can charge for their Android app that they are developing. I think the mod just removes that restriction. You can apply the mod yourself: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=688054

If you do this, make sure to navigate to /system/etc and delete your hosts file or else it won't work since you're blocking their ads. You can rerun AdFree after you're done watching Hulu. No known problems except that doing this last step is slightly annoying. Maybe nfx has a fix for that? ;)
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] foolforfood:
Very excited for this release. I can't contain myself!!!
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] xFilthyxJesusx:
Thanks TambourineMan I appreciate the link.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] nfinitefx45:
I am hoping to release by the end of the weekend, just working out a few more bugs. Also working with a few other devs to see what I can do to get the power menu mod up and running. It is not liking the shift at this point.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] pwrmedia:
Could also download the latest release of the Skyfire browser. Haven't found a flash site yet (Hulu included) that this latest build can't run. :D
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] danaff37:
I know it's sad, but I am nearly giddy with anticipation of a modded odexed version if this rom.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] cybrnook:
Tell me about it, I don't think I could refresh this page anymore in one day than I did today.......
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] tambourineman86:
I started a thread in the general topic section, but figured I'd bring it up here by linking to that thread. I don't think adding the dalvik cache to cache mod is worth it and here's why: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=979511

So maybe don't add this feature quite yet? Until we figure out where to get the space required for it?

EDIT: And sorry to those who are watching this thread closely. Every time I see a new reply I rush to see if the OP has been updated too, lol
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] JKILO:
Downloading now thanks for the update
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] tambourineman86:
What update?
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] JKILO:

[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] tambourineman86:
I did, I guess tapatalk didn't update...damn...way to look like a noob, tamb lol

EDIT: Well, now I'm on my computer and it still shows nothing new...are you effing with me? DL is exactly the same.

Lol you confused the crap out of me. Is that new download working good for ya? Lol
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] JKILO:
Same as before the update...don't know what's going on lol
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] nfinitefx45:
update delay

Sorry guys just taking longer to re odex the entire system then I thought it should, but it is almost done.

I will be posting it in a new thread as this update ended up being a little more involved then I was going to do, but hey what the hell.

Just a few screen caps to see what was done. Also i will do a update to this stock rom as the other is a little beyond stock. lol

Tell me what you think at this point.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] zeropants:
That looks good! If we decide to change after the download, is it themeable?
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] Big D5:
Looks great I will be ready to give it a shot when you get it posted.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] nfinitefx45:
i will have a odex and deodex version so themeing shouldnt be an issue.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] zeropants:
Awesome. I had the Hero before this and I was using either your Sense Rom or the AOSP 2.2 rom as my regulars.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] Jeezimus:
I have been mashing F5 for hours in anticipation. Srsly can't wait to try out your ROM =D
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] everydaysince87:
Yeah I even subscribed to the thread on the app in hopes when he updates ill get a notification
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] grunge315:
Please Please Please kill that damn GPS recticle in the notification bar. That thing drives me nuts.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] nfinitefx45:
its only there when gps is active
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] mcarrion78:
<--------- is eargerly awaiting the next release
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] grunge315:
I thought it was there whenever GPS was enabled... Active is a different icon (little sat dish looking thing)

In which case when ISN'T it enabled for use? why would I want a Icon telling me something I will never turn off on?
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] zeropants:
It's just like the Bluetooth notification too. One icon shows when it's enabled, another shows when it's in use. The target icon shows all the time.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] danaff37:
That reticle is for network/cell tower location being on

Has to be on for agps to work by the way
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] riggsandroid:
There are ways to remove the icon from the notification bar, but allow the location service to be on though. I think that is what that guy was requesting.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] grunge315:
Yup. Its not a tricky thing to accomplish, I do it everytime I re-rom my device. Sprint is the only carrier that I have seen that uses this icon. My Aria didn't have it, neither did my samsung, but then again that wasn't sense.

Anyway if I am the only one who cares then forget about it, I can take it off myself.

I really love your roms and cant wait for this new one.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] nfinitefx45:
new release posted here

[ROM] 3/7/11 NFX-Shift.semi-STOCK.1.0.2 ODEX
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] Jo_795:
question I noticed the new release shows SEMI stock...

this thread here is full stock? Ive been reading on the forums and have been waiting for a fully working stock. Mainly my issue is using sense messages, dialer/phone... Did you happen to switch to semi only now?
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] nfinitefx45:
no this will be updated soon, just working out some bugs on the semi-stock at the moment.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] SirRipo:
There really isn't any major difference between Sense messaging and the messaging in stock Android. As for the dialer, I always used Dialer One when I was using CyanogenMod on my Hero. Same "smart dialing" as the Sense dialer. But the messaging is pretty much the same, minus a few small things (from what I remember).
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] BuddahWolf01:
Just FYI, the Rom is stock for our phones. Not stock Android as an AOSP Rom would be.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] Jo_795:
Ahh terminology wrong.. what im looking for a AOSP fully working Android Stock Rom...

Android stock messaging is 10x better then Sense messenging i hate the white background..
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] derik123derik123:
So, I'm assuming normal 4g works, right?

I'm running this rom as well as the 1.8 kernel...

When I attempt to turn on 4g.. it says turning on...

then says turning off...

is that because of the 1.8 kernel?

or this rom?
[Vibrant General] rastlin:
ok i have a question for yall, as ya know the market is now also web baised. well when i upgraded my vibrant to froyo i had to do a factory reset, thus loosing everything to the "black screen of death." anyhoo one of the programs i had was tv.com and i tried to find it in the market place and i was unable to locate it. (now mind yall i had it installed before and it was fine) anyways............ when marketplace went web i was able to find it but it had stated that the app was incompatible(sp?) with my phone. my wife has a moto defy and i used her market place and it showed up on her market place but not on my phone. also on the webmarket place on with her log in it was there but not the maker of her phone....... any ideas??? or does anyone have the .apk for it?

-rastlin
[Vibrant General] robertd0619:
If you're rooted and have titanium back up, there an option there "market doctor" to fix market to show all apps. That happens sometimes when you do an update, where the market doesn't recognize the phone. Also if you have access to recovery you can delete dalvik cache and that should do it.

Oh yeah you can delete dalvik cache with titanium back up also.

Uh... "If you can add any applications to the SD Card and install it to the device, that is not rooting."

Under that logic, if unrevoked forever ever releases a .apk to turn S-OFF, does that imply that merely doing that to get root access isn't rooting?

edit: this is what happens when companies aren't smart enough to release some kind of auto-app updater, separate from OTA updates. Stuff like this takes an eternity. How hard is it to add an "s" to the http of the authentication? (for that matter, why the hell is Twitter letting you log in this way in the first place?)
