Interesting. Did you make sure to do a clean install by wiping everything first?
[EVO 4G Android Development] fikusunc:
yea, Did a complete wipe. Even deleted the battery stats before doing the rom.
[EVO 4G Android Development] DrRyder:
Very weird. I'll be looking out for it. Everything seems to be working just fine on my end. Like you said, could have just been a one time thing...at least I hope it was. :D

My clock/weather widget would fail to get updates at times, especially right after flashing earlier versions of EP.

Since the market seemed to take a while to catch up to my restored apps, I chalked it up to needing a little time for everything to sync up.

In the meantime, I discovered the Go Weather widget and actually kind of liked it better than the htc one. I do wish it would automatically update location from gps, but I spend most of my time on one of two locations, so it's not that big of a deal for me.

I've used the Go widget since 5.5 so I don't know if the htc one is still doing the same thing.

I will check out GO Weather, especially since you have been using it since V5.5, it should play nice with EP roms.

Has anyone tried the am/pm notification bar removal mod with this ROM? I'll try it out later, but just wondering.

[EVO 4G Android Development] DrRyder:
Nope. Haven't included it because I would never use it. I've had multiple inquiries about it. Just see no use for it. Besides, because of the other edits to the services.jar file, I'd have to break it down and combine the mods. Would take a lot of time and things might get messed up.

I saw that you weren't interested in it, but the EP community might be getting big enough that someone else has :)

Oh, I'm sure. If someone in the EP community wants to break down the AM/PM services.jar and combine with the services.jar currently included, I'll gladly put it in. I just don't have the interest to do it myself.

Dr,

Have you messed around with different kernels for your rom?

Before flashing your rom, i was running myn warm with net 4.3.2 cfs sbc havs more univ and seemed to get better battery life. Your overall rom is faster but draining faster for me...

any suggestions to try, I'm using all of your battery tips (same thing in already did).

Swyped from my HTC Evo with Eternal Prophecy 5.5 ROM.
[EVO 4G Android Development] DrRyder:
It's probably because of the overclocking to 1.152 Ghz. Did you try running the normalclocking zip to revert back to normal clocking to see if that helped? I know this kernel works great for me. Should work great for you.
[EVO 4G Android Development] DrRyder:
Oh...and this surprise I was working on. Turns out I won't be able to do it. Too many things not working and too hard for me to port over since I don't really know how. The wait continues. As for the services.jar mods. I might take a look into it and see what's all to be done. It might be quite simple.

Edit: Alright. You've got me motivated to do it. Version 5.8 with the AM/PM/Clock toggle mod will be up shortly.

New EP user

Hey,

Just wanted to say this is kewl, this is my second ROM to try (was on Myns) but thought it was time. So far so good, no issues that I can tell. One question though, when I use the Latitude widget, the font size is too big and all the words don't fit in the widget? Not sure if this is a ROM issue or not.

Also I used to use WIFI tether, I assume I just use the sprint HOTSPOT wireless now and it works as the WIFI tether did?

Will keep playing, getting my phone back to where it was...

Again thanks, love the look and the feel.. Can't wait to see battery life...

Chow
[EVO 4G Android Development] DrRyder:
Hmm. I'm updating to 5.8 and gonna reflash it. I'll take a look at it and see. Could be from the font style that I'm using.
[EVO 4G Android Development] rpwhite3:
Kewl thanks!
[EVO 4G Android Development] coiledwire:
Lol. Hmmm.... :)

Good thing I refreshed the page, I was about to make this edit for EP.

Sent on the go, from my evo.
[EVO 4G Android Development] DrRyder:
Lol yeah. I'm about to test it right now. Just doing my logins.

Success! It works.
[EVO 4G Android Development] coiledwire:
Sprint hotspot won't allow to tether with a 4g signal unless you have it included with your plan. Wifi tether will allow 4g to stay connected while tethering.

That's basically the main difference between these 2.

Sent on the go, from my evo.
[EVO 4G Android Development] DrRyder:
Latitude looks just fine to me. Not sure if it's a problem with the widget itself, but I haven't modified that. The font looks like it should. Did you do a clean install of the ROM?
[EVO 4G Android Development] rpwhite3:
Full wipe, at least the phone said it did... :) Here is a snap shot of the issue...

Not that big a deal, really, just curious more than anything...
[EVO 4G Android Development] DrRyder:
Hmm. Very interesting. I didn't check in at any places to check the text but the font size is the same. It's just a different style. Perhaps the style doesn't work well with the widget. Unfortunately, I don't like the default font so that's why I use this one.
[EVO 4G Android Development] rpwhite3:
No worries, it works for me... I can live with it... :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] DrRyder:
Version 5.8 is live. Look at that, 3 days between this build and the last. :D

I've included the modified weather sync intervals so you can have the weather sync every 15 or 30 minutes if you want.

I've also included the AM/PM/Clock toggle mod that was requested by multiple users.

Enjoy.

Ryder, I really like the extra space! What is this keyboard? It's not the normal 2.2 keyboard is it?

Roger, EVO Out
[EVO 4G Android Development] DrRyder:
Nope. It's a themed Gingerbread keyboard. Much better than the Touch Input keyboard, in my opinion.
[EVO 4G Android Development] chrisfales:
Same question. I absolutely love the rom and use it when I need my sense fix. Would love this keyboard for my ASOP daily. Any chance you would be able to upload that bad boy? Thanks for all the updates! Gets better and better.
[EVO 4G Android Development] DrRyder:
No can do. Running out of attachment space. Just pull the LatinIME.apk from /system/app and libjni_latinime.so out of /system/lib and push them to their respective directories. That should work.
[EVO 4G Android Development] chrisfales:
Thanks! Do I replace the existing files with these (assuming there are identical files in there)?
[EVO 4G Android Development] DrRyder:
Seems logical. I've never used AOSP on my phone. Used my ROM from day 1 so couldn't really tell ya.
[EVO 4G Android Development] chrisfales:
Just tried the file replacement method...no luck. So...if you do get the chance to upload the keyboard file, be awesome! Thanks again!
[EVO 4G Android Development] DrRyder:
If that doesn't work, then the keyboard won't work. It's made for Sense ROMs. Uploading it for you to put on won't make any difference. Over-writing the files and flashing are the same thing.
[EVO 4G Android Development] *.jpg:
5.8 has the best battery life yet! It's very slick how you've integrated the am/pm mod into a toggle in the clock settings. :)

EP is THE class for Sense ROMs. I love that it's not all tarted up with a bunch of ugly/adolescent/boy racer thematic elements.

Once again, thanks for putting out such a polished ROM!

Is 6.0 going to be the version that sees the future and reads my mind? If so, I can see how my brain would give you some serious compiling issues ;)

Cheers!

Battery Life

I have to tell you the battery life I am getting is quite amazing, it's a new freaking phone! I have been on battery about 12 hours now and am at 79% WTF? This is totally amazing! I have been on WI-FI only, but compared to my last ROM this is really good!

I think I might have to stay with this ROM for a while, 5.7 does everything I need it to do.

Thanks again!
[EVO 4G Android Development] DrRyder:
Awesome! That's pretty kick ass. That's one of my top priorities. Making sure battery life is awesome without compromising performance.
[EVO 4G Android Development] EVOme:
I think I'm about to try this rom...is it snappy, quick response?
[EVO 4G Android Development] DrRyder:
Absolutely. I wouldn't use it if it wasn't. ;)
[EVO 4G Android Development] *.jpg:
The battery life is simply amazing. I use my phone HARD. Web, twitter, mp3s, pandora, mms, games,camera, video, etc. and I would drain it in a few hours even with a premiere ROM like Warm and an underclock kernel.

To discover something that runs this smoothly makes you wonder how much money htc must get to include so much bloatware.

Perfect!!! Downloading now. To get this great batt life I keep reading about, leave the preinstalled kernel?

[EVO 4G Android Development] DrRyder:

[EVO 4G Android Development] midhun:
i have one question. Right now i am on 5.7 so if i want to update to 5.8, i just have to flash it with cache and dalvik cache formated right?

no need to do a ful wipe/device reset right?

thank you.
[EVO 4G Android Development] DrRyder:
No. Each build is made to wipe everything to ensure no inconsistencies between builds. It's best that if you don't NEED to upgrade, to just not bother. Or just back up your apps and upgrade and just go through setting everything up. That's what most people that use my ROM and upgrade to each version do. Too many problems can come up from just "upgrading" without wiping.
[EVO 4G Android Development] midhun:
WOW quick response. Thank YOU.

This may sound dumb. I have three questions.

1.Anyway i always wipe 'everything' before i flash a rom. But since you so good in providing updates almost every week how can i just backup just my apps. Should i do a nandroid backup? Or is there a application from 'Market' that i can install which will just backup the apps so that i dont have to reinstall one-by-one.

2. Is there an application that can backup my settings? Like display brightness, ringtone selection etc? ( i think there is none like that but who knows there maybe)

3. Are you going to put this rom on rom-manager. Making it easy to download and update.
[EVO 4G Android Development] DrRyder:
No problem. I get email notifications instantly and keep the tab open just in case.

1. I use AppMonster Pro, which I bought, to back up all my apps. I've heard people using Titanium Backup to back up their apps. You could try that.

2. There isn't an app that I know of. I wish there was, but doing my settings doesn't take nearly as long as configuring all my apps.

3. I've been asked that before and I'm not. Being as OCD as I am, I would have to test it through ROM Manager to make sure that it works and frankly, I hate Clockwork Mod. It doesn't offer the same features as Amon RA and I can't use Rom Manager without CWM. So, it will just have to pass.
[EVO 4G Android Development] midhun:
Oh i see. This is an awesome rom. Also can i make a suggestion. Maybe when you have an update which does not have huge difference from the previous release can you name is like v5.8, v5.81, v5.82 etc.

And when you have a better (huge difference) from previous release then change the name to v5.9.

That way we followers can make sure to flash that release because it is a major release.

This is just a suggestion ;-) dont take it too serious.

Thanks Again
[EVO 4G Android Development] DrRyder:
Meh. I try to KISS(Keep It Simple Stupid) as far as version numbers. When a major release comes out, in my announcement post, I mention that it is, indeed, a major release and that you should upgrade to it. Unless I say that, they're all minor and it's totally to your discretion whether to update or not. Most releases are mostly app updates, updating the hosts file, making some theme adjustments, etc.

Bottom line is, you'll know when a major release comes out. Don't worry. ;)
[EVO 4G Android Development] midhun:
Thats great. Thank You for letting me know that.
[EVO 4G Android Development] *.jpg:
I use the paid version of Titanium Backup to backup my apps, desktop icons and a few other system settings. It's not the most user-friendly app but once you get the hang of it, it's super fast and will allow you to restore ~90% of your setup with just a couple of clicks after flashing.

For backing up my bookmarks, sms, mms, alarms, dictionary and call logs, I use the free version of Mybackup Root. It can be used for apps, too, but even with busybox enabled it's not nearly as fast as Ti backup.

If you decide to try Ti and have questions, there are several threads out there that give good how-tos.

You gotta change those settings in the Lockscreen Settings app in the App Drawer then do a Hot Restart or Reboot. Make sure you check the phone & messaging box and select the messaging application to open.

Phone refuses to sleep

Unfortunately for me, this ROM, like pretty much 99% of them I've tried since I last decided to try upgrading my phone, refuses to let my phone 'sleep'.

In short, under Settings, About Phone, Battery, Up Time = Awake Time, and the battery drains about 5% an hour with absolutely no phone use.

The only apps I have installed are Titanium Backup and Spare Parts. That's it (short of what comes with this ROM).

It's not that the ROM itself that's bad, it's something about my phone. But I wish I knew what, as I like what this ROM offers. Any suggestions?
[EVO 4G Android Development] DrRyder:
Very interesting. Have you tried starting over from scratch? Un-rooting, going back totally to stock and then re-rooting again? Or, as close as you can get to Bailey's without getting your eyes wet? (Lol if you get where that's from)

But, yeah. Do you think it could be the Spare Parts app? Have you ran that on every ROM that gives you this wakelock? I've seen it, but I don't use it because I don't really think it's recommended for Sense ROMs. That's just me. All the settings in there can be changed through the ROM anyway.
[EVO 4G Android Development] EVOme:
Dr. Ryder....great rom! Great! Batt life is amazing. Went to bed at 100%...woke up at 98%. I like it so far. Keep up the good work!!
[EVO 4G Android Development] coiledwire:
I've seen many people post that they had this problem. Its usually nothing to do with the rom; its more of the kernel and your phone.

The 1st post of netarchy's thread says if you have wake-lock try downgrading to pri 1.77. So my suggestions would be to either try another kernel or try pri 1.77. Good luck.

Sent on the go, from my evo.
[EVO 4G Android Development] BobFromAccounting:
Even without Spare Parts I can see the battery drain. And you do offer an interesting suggestion (going back to stock and such). Something to think about, as I haven't truly started over from scratch via that method, well, ever. Maybe I'll give that a whirl and see what happens.

DrRyder, is there a way to get the HTC Bookmark widget and the HTC Music widget on this ROM? Great rom BTW! Thanks.
[EVO 4G Android Development] DrRyder:
Sure. There's a way to get them back. But the HTC Music player is gone so the widget won't work unless you put that back too.

You need to find the htcbookmarkwidgets.apk, htcmusicwidget.apk, and htcmusic.apk from a stock de-odexed ROM and push them /system/app.

Try downgrading the PRI and see if that helps. I do remember reading that and that could be a simple solution.

Is there anyway to get this constant sync from occurring? I have nothing syncing yet I get that lil spinning blue thing like my phone is in constant sync and I feel it's draining my battery..Also can someone suggest a few other Kernels to use with this ROM and is there a way to change the Banner name on the lock screen and the dropdown? The Hex method isn't working for me
[EVO 4G Android Development] DrRyder:
Lol so many requests for a ROM that's provided as-is.

1. Go to Accounts & Sync and look. Weather is default set up to sync so technically, you do have something syncing and weather could be taking a while.

2. You can use any Sense kernel that you'd like, though if you use anything other than the one that's built-in, you won't have HDMI support.

3. Changing the banner would cause the Sprint Apps to not work. If you don't care about that, change away. There's also a CDMA Workshop method as well if you do a little searching.

Did you uninstall friend stream? I think I've read somewhere that constant syncing is related to friend stream, so start there with your troubleshooting.

Rosie mods that work with EP

The wife is ready to take the plunge into custom ROM world after listening to my proselytizing over the last months. :D

She's heard nothing but good things about EP (duh!) but doesn't like the generic rosie symbols that come with it. I've tried a couple of rosie mods that are supposed to work with 4x5 screens but they all set the screen back to 4x4.

I know, I know--it shouldn't be that big of a deal, but she wants what she wants and I'd hate to have to put her on a ROM that was really good, but not AS good as EP.

Has anyone tried this with any success?

Hope this helps. Oh and of course log back into account after removing it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] xsisbest:
So I'm extremely envious of everyone that is able to run this rom as it sounds like it's amazing. I'm on the hunt for better battery life like most and all signs point to this rom being the ONE.. Unfortunately I just can't for the life of me get it to boot. I always wipe everything 2 times and I also used your delete all zip as well as the default clock zip and still it just reboots over and over. It doesn't even get passed the splash screen. I've tried the Netarchy kernels before and they never played nice on my phone so I'm assuming that is the issue. I'm on version 0004 if that says anything but .. wish I could see what all the hubub was about :P I was at one time able to flash the netarchy cfs no sbc no havs but it seems the battery life features are in the WITH sbc with havs.. Maybe i'm wrong.. anyways.. looks like a sweet rom.
