Added a poll to the thread. Please voice your opinion on this as it will decide how I continue working on this rom.

I'd really like to drop the Non-Vanilla version since the only difference is the lockscreen. I prefer the Vanilla Lockscreen mod and will use the Vanilla version anyway.

If I move to just making the Vanilla build, I'll drop the Vanilla tag as well so people won't be confused.

Edit: The poll will end and a decision will be made in 3 hours. That would be 8:30 PM EST / 7:30 PM CST / 6:30 PM MST / 5:30 PM PST.
[EVO 4G Android Development] coiledwire:
Hi Dr Ryder.

I respect your decision to make this how you want, and I'm glad to see you've put this ROM out here for us to see what your vision of a ROM should be.

I have 2 questions regarding your CPU scaling.

1) I thought the smartass governor will default to 384MHz during sleep. This is what I've read about the this governor on the web. Is your implementation different or is my understanding wrong?

2) I've seen many people use 256 or 384 as a max frequency during sleep. Why do you find 576 to be more ideal during sleeping?

Thanks in advance for your time.
[EVO 4G Android Development] DrRyder:
The governor will default to those levels, but the scaling script is set to force the min/max levels when sleeping. I've checked the levels while it was asleep to see if they changed. It goes to the high and the low just like it should.

That is true. I've seen that before as well. I've also seen that using lower frequencies causes CPU usage to be higher. So, let's say you're using 100% CPU usage at 256, it would make sense that if you raise the frequency to 576, it would be closer to 50%. Basically, giving it a little more power to work with and not be so constrained to such a low frequency.
[EVO 4G Android Development] coiledwire:
Thanks for answering these questions. Your explanation makes sense regarding max frequency during sleep. Next time I use a sleep profile, I'll try to up the max frequency and see how it compares.

I'm going to check your ROM out later today. Actually, I noticed you've integrated DT's a2sd into the ROM, which gives me a few more questions if you don't mind.

1) Provided there is an available ext partition, does DT default to apps on ext and dalvik in main memory (/data)?

2) Do you utilize a swap partition, or even set the swappiness as part of the first_boot script?

3) Do you utilize any of DT's low memory management, for example lowmem-aggressive?

I've seen many suggestions in XDA of how to best setup DT's a2sd, and its difficult to search for this topic. I've managed to make a setup that works for me, but I'd like to know your opinion. Thanks again.
[EVO 4G Android Development] DrRyder:
I don't use an ext partition. I don't even use the Apps2SD. I just provide it in case anyone else would like to use it. The Dalvik Cache is set to move to SD as that's how I have it set up through the kitchen.

No. I don't set any of that. The only thing I really change is the Dalvik VM Heap size from 24m to 36m.

I set some memory tweaks through the kitchen. I set the foreground_app_mem, visible_app_mem, secondary_server_mem, hidden_app_mem, content_provider_mem, and empty_app_mem. There's a more detailed description of what these all do that I've read before. I just don't have it saved.

So far, what I've used seems to leave the phone with plenty of ram and space left. I don't use that many apps, but I know people that have and haven't had any complaints about memory and ram being too low. So, I'm assuming that the setup I have is working pretty well.
[EVO 4G Android Development] DrRyder:
Alright. It's been decided. I'll keep working on the Vanilla build and discard the other. Thank you all for helping me decide. Version 40 of the new build will be up soon and the original posts will be modified accordingly.
[EVO 4G Android Development] DrRyder:
Version 40 is now live and original posts have been modified and updated.
[EVO 4G Android Development] thx0849:
Downloading now,i agree with your decision about vanilla and using the lockscreen is so convenient!
[EVO 4G Android Development] DrRyder:
Thanks. Glad that everyone pretty much wanted the same thing. I saw the downloads for Vanilla compared to Non-Vanilla. Big difference. Plus, maintaining one rom is so much easier to do and I can get builds out faster.
[EVO 4G Android Development] DrRyder:
Alright, version 41, which is just a bug fix update has been uploaded. Just like any other version, you'll have to flash the entire thing. It's not going to just update the fixed files.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Jerryatric:
Where the hell did such an awesome lockscreen come from? Its easily the coolest feature, and one I've never seen anywhere else!
[EVO 4G Android Development] thx0849:
I'd like to thank you for curing me of my flashing addiction! Tried so many other roms and never really found one that said I'm here to stay. Does what I want it to and how I want it to.
[EVO 4G Android Development] DrRyder:
JsChiSurf created the mod and I really grew a liking to it. It's awesome and works perfectly.

Haha. You're welcome. I'm glad you like it. Might be pushing out a new update soon. Depends on anything new coming out. I know there are some system apps to update, but I want to include something new.
[EVO 4G Android Development] abdabbs:
hmmmm,

mediafire wont let me download the file no matter if I temporarily or permanently allow pop ups...

shucks
[EVO 4G Android Development] DrRyder:
That's weird. Did you try a different browser? There shouldn't be a problem with the links on the server end.
[EVO 4G Android Development] DrRyder:
Version 4.2 (Yes, I put a period in there. Looks better than 42, lol) is now up. Has some nice changes to this build that I'm pleased with and hope you will be, as well.
[EVO 4G Android Development] starplaya93:
Does android have the best developers or what?

Keep up the great work man. Loving this thing so far.
[EVO 4G Android Development] DrRyder:
Awesome man. Glad you like it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] thx0849:
Updated to "4.2" , flawless and easy. Man, thanks for the appmonster saved my as more than a few times!
[EVO 4G Android Development] DrRyder:
Yeah. I figured that would make updating to the newest version a lot easier. Works perfect for me.
[EVO 4G Android Development] IP IHI II IL:
Damn man, most thorough Dev ever! I love your work! Have absolutely nothing bad to say! Hate that I have to reload everything every couple of days though...lol. keep up the perfection! Thanks for all the hard work!
[EVO 4G Android Development] DrRyder:
Yeah. It'd be nice if Google Backup would work with settings & apps but I'm so used to setting everything up that it's not really a bother. After making and flashing so many builds, you get used to it. Thanks for the comments though.
[EVO 4G Android Development] thx0849:
As far as having to reload everything for the updates, I kinda look at it as if you re-formated your home computer and reloaded windows. Fresh installs always seem to run smoothest. Takes a few minutes but worth the effort for such a well polished rom!
[EVO 4G Android Development] DrRyder:
Exactly! That's exactly why I just make it so it has to be installed fresh every time.
[EVO 4G Android Development] anderson620:
Love the ROM but I'm getting 100% uptime. Using the same kernel I've used for months and no rogue apps showing in watchdog. Any ideas?
[EVO 4G Android Development] DrRyder:
What kernel are you using? Could be incompatible with the scaling scripts I'm using if it doesn't have the right governor and scaling frequencies.
[EVO 4G Android Development] THunDA:
same here, full wipe every time .. titanium backup makes it so easy too.. its worth it in the long run as it eliminates most issues that come from being a flashaholic.. :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] anderson620:
I'm sorry, I should have been more clear. I'm using the kernel included in the ROM, it just happens to be the same one I've used in the past. I'd love to get this working, it's exactly what I'm after! I went to bed with 96% battery and woke up to 50%. PRL, PRI, everything is up to date.
[EVO 4G Android Development] DrRyder:
I see. Did you check battery usage to see what used the most? If it's Android System, then it's an app that's doing it. What HW Version are you using?
[EVO 4G Android Development] anderson620:
I did check and it was "android system". I had not installed any of my apps yet, could it have been one in the ROM? I have hardware 003; maybe I'll just try our again from scratch. As much as I enjoy trying out new ROMs, I would like a new daily. Hopefully this will be it. Thanks for your help.

*************************************************************

After going back and forward to ASOP and Sense based roms I was just about done. I am really sick and tiered after this past weekend. I went on a trip with my family, I have 3 small kids. I decided to upgrade my EVO to a ASOP ROM and I am not trying to bad mouth anyone on here lets make this clear right now. So I decided to go because I got the direction from this place and like it always happens women can't give direction to save their lives. Well I pulled the GPS on my EVO and bravo it doesn't work. I just move to Carolina not to long ago and now I am stuck in the middle of no where with a beautiful EVO but not a working GPS. I was lucky that my wife had her Nexus 1 (not rooted) and we got to where we needed ok. I came home and I ran across this ROM and After trying almost everything out there I said let me give this a try. I want to say that for as long as I have the EVO, I will never ever, ever, ever!!!, ever!!!!! go to another ROM. The GPS is incredible, the OS is wonderful and very fast, but the real story is the Battery. Holy S***!!!!!! This thing is freaking sick. Nothing that I have ever tried lasted so long. Nothing!!! With every rom that I downloaded and installed there where issues here and there, but I have this for a few days now and not even one issue. I don't know what to say anymore. The battery is incredible. Please don't do anything else to this ROM. PLEASE DON'T TOUCH IT. It's perfect. If you are going to work on the Gingerbread I want to be the first to test it. I will do that for you. I will upgrade everyone at work to this ROM, we have 5 EVOs' and they will all get this ROM I promise. Great work and I want to say Thank you from the bottom of my hart.

Thank You!!!
[EVO 4G Android Development] DrRyder:
Wow man. I dunno what to say. I'm really glad that you love everything about it. I certainly plan on working on Gingerbread as soon as the official OTA comes out. I mean, as soon as it comes out. I'll be tinkering with it. I appreciate your comments and hope that everyone that you give this rom to is as satisfied as you are.
[EVO 4G Android Development] thx0849:
+1 : )
[EVO 4G Android Development] wrceuro:
Okay so I just finished updating another EVO that had the same problems and issues that I had with the other ROMs that I have tried and guess what?! He is getting the same battery life and performance that I am getting now. I think I made a big mistake showing this at the office because now I have a list of people who are waiting for me to update their phones. hahaha
[EVO 4G Android Development] gsjr1:
ROM is insanely good on battery life, and is very fast. I have had no issues with anything except when on Facebook. Once in a while every time I check my newsfeed it forcecloses. Any fix for that or suggestions on what I could do? Other than that it is a great Rom and I am very satisfied.
[EVO 4G Android Development] DrRyder:
Probably a bug in the app. I haven't had any issues and there's been an update to a new version of Facebook today. Update and see if you still have those issues. The update included bug fixes. I'll be including it in my next version, of course.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jgalan14:
Is there any mods for the rosie maybe phone, app drawer and browser I don't use people app much!
[EVO 4G Android Development] wrceuro:
I have asked the same question but so far there is none. I think that their might be some themes that would work but I really just want to leave it alone. I have tried so many before and this time I am just going to leave it alone.

I love my battery life :) !!!
[EVO 4G Android Development] DrRyder:
If you look in JsChiSurf's Rosie Mods thread, he has made many different ones. All you have to do is flash it. It's just the rosie.apk.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jgalan14:
Mm ok I wasn't sure if it was going to work, since every developers seems to mess around with this stuff and if you flash the wrong one it wont work, but I'll take a look
[EVO 4G Android Development] DrRyder:
Yup. It should just be the Rosie.apk that he modified. That's what I remember. Shouldn't have any problem with it. Just open the flashable zip file and look at what files are in there. Shouldn't have an impact on anything else.
[EVO 4G Android Development] cruisincali:
Great Rom, the kernel is superb and I themed it with Matted Blues engraved edition. If I flash the all buttons from amikam will it affect the Roms performnce? Because I want the search button back.

Sent from my Phoner
[EVO 4G Android Development] DrRyder:
All you need is the VoiceSearch and VoiceDialer apks from a stock deodexed rom or any other deodexed rom. That should get the button working again. It does work right now when you're in the market for searching. It also works for searching messages and contacts.
[EVO 4G Android Development] DrRyder:
Going to be pushing out another update tomorrow or the day after. Few updates to the system apps and the kitchen's been updated so I'll re-build it based on that to make sure it's built with the newest software.
[EVO 4G Android Development] wrceuro:
I have a quick question. When you will come out with the updates do you think that you can make this at the starting boot picture please.

http://www.xda-developers.com/android/boot-animation-android-particle-ring/

Also one other thing. When the update comes out will we be able just to flash it over what we have now without loosing all of our information?

Thanks
[EVO 4G Android Development] DrRyder:
I need you to do me a favor and read my OP and read that part in red. That's my disclaimer. Long story, short, I make this rom based on my wants and needs and provide it as-is to this community. This rom won't be tailored to people's requests. People here are too picky and there's no way I can please everyone.

The updates are made to be fresh installed every time in order to ensure nothing will break.

If you'd like, you can download that bootanimation and flash it yourself through recovery. That would work just fine.
[EVO 4G Android Development] sanjsrik:
Just download bootanimationpro from market place and import the boot animation zip you want through there if you don't like flashing.
[EVO 4G Android Development] wrceuro:
Sweet!! Thank You guys.
[EVO 4G Android Development] stevo760:
Download link not working!!!!!!!!!! Please fix.. I know you aren't excepting requests but I think you should make an exception for thus request
[EVO 4G Android Development] DrRyder:
Hmm. What exactly is the problem? You sure your ISP isn't blocking it or something? I just clicked the link before making this post and it works just fine.

:s
[EVO 4G Android Development] stevo760:
Never starts downloading. Not my isp cause I just downloaded 8 other roms cause flashing roms is like smoking crack for me
[EVO 4G Android Development] DrRyder:
Gotta be your net or the website. Worked just fine for me. I only upload it to here because I know they keep track of the number of downloads.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mackattack23:
He's not the only one having issues downloading the ROM.

Was gonna try it out, using UNleashed right now but thought I'd give this a shot.

MediaFire seems to be evil tonight. I'll try linking it to FF..maybe Chrome is hatin.

EDIT: Yeah no go on Firefox either. I'm assuming MediaFire is just doin some things. I'll flash tomorrow morning.
[EVO 4G Android Development] DrRyder:
That is really weird. The link should be working. I checked my repository. The file is still in there. I didn't tamper with the link. So, it has to be Mediafire up to no good.

Edit: Confirmed. Mediafire link isn't working. Give it a little time to see if it'll come back. I'm trying to keep track of my number of downloads so I really don't want to have to move it. *sigh*
[EVO 4G Android Development] coiledwire:
Funny, I've seen mediafire take a dive when it coincides with a big release on xda. Like netarchy's new kernel maybe?

I have noticed that is possible to be done for HTC Desire to downgrade HBOOT from 0.92 to 0.80 without any problems. Did anyone tried to downgrade HBOOT of Buzz ? In theory is it possible ? Thanks!
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Alex_GP:
Desire != Wildfire
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wildfire64:
Anybody tried this methode ? does it work ? :)
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evercool:
I have done some search and I have found out it MIGHT be possible to do it. I got the recovery files in place extracted the rom from a RUU. Now I need some HexEdit search. Seems like the misc partition on Wildfire (were the current version is stored) is not in the same place as the one on Desire. So definitely

Wildfire != Desire :)

If i manage to find the right combination I will try to brick my phone latter on :)
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darkstep:
good luck i hope it works :) downgrading not bricking :p
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Birthe88:
Just send your phones to me and i will S-Off them with my XTC clip ;-)
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johnsk:
It is now possible, to downgrade a wildfire with android 2.2.1 and HBOOT 1.01...?
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 3xeno:
Downgrading worked for some time now, but, it only downgrades Android 2.2.1 to 2.1. The HBOOT remains intact. So, to answer your query, no, there is no downgrading method yet.

You can get S-OFF on the updated HBOOT though.
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johnsk:
if i understand this right,

so i can downgrade to android 2.1 to flash 2.3 later?

sry my english is not really good and i think i understand that false :)
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 3xeno:
No. Because 2.3 is only available as a Custom ROM so far. And, to flash Custom ROM's you need to be rooted, which you cant do even if you downgrade to 2.1 because, as I said, the HBOOT cannot be downgraded.

Hope it is clear now. :)
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johnsk:
yes now its clear :)

thanks for your help
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ouistyty:
How without specific hardware ?

Any link on that ?
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 3xeno:
Yes it is through a specific hardware device called the XTC Clip. You will have to buy one yourself or find someone who has one and is willing to S-OFF your Wildfire for you. Just a search around here should reveal the specifics. Not very sure on that.
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djdevine2:
This XTC Clip, what specifically does it do? Couldn't someone who has one work out exactly what is does and then put it online? Sorry if this sounds stupid.
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wildfire64:
This is a XTC Clip it makes your device S-OFF
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djdevine2:
haha, I knew that! I wondered what it actually did... Like change a system file or do something to the SD card which allowed the phone to have an S-OFF Hboot installed.
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ionut.micu:
I own a HTC Desire Z, and I have downgraded my software including Hboot using this method .

I have tried the same thing on my girlfriend wildfire and I managed to obtain temporary root, but when I tried to change "misc_version" to 1.24.405.1 I got this error:

# /data/local/tmp/misc_version -s 1.24.405.1
--set_version set. VERSION will be changed to: 1.24.405.1
Patching and backing up partition 17...
Error opening input file.

I know that this files are specific for Desire Z, psneuter worked only after I have downloaded from somewhere else (I don't remember where), but maybe someone will manage to edit "misc_version" and make it work on wildfire, then it will be possible to downgrade everything including H-boot.
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mindas69:
the partition table is different on each model. that's one of the reasons why it won't work..
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joningi:
But wait, if you got temproot... that must mean something is being done right..?:D
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ionut.micu:
I think the only thing we need is to edit the misc_version and make it work on wildfire, I don't know if this is a hard or easy thing to do, but after that nothing will stop us from downgrading H-boot and gain root access once again :)

I posted all the steps I did here, but nobody listens to me :D

I am a religious reader of phandroid.com and just read the artical about a gingerbread update coming with bluetooth file transfer integrated into the system :)

Guess we'll this will delay cyanogen's stable release lol
[myTouch 3G Slide General] slughappy1:
Correct me if I'm wrong, but that only applies to the Nexus S. The Nexus S is the only phone that has NFC, and the post says that it uses bluetooth and NFC. Meaning it will only apply to phones like the Nexus S.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] guitarist5122:
I hope you are wrong lol
[myTouch 3G Slide General] gregb7677:
As much as we want these things on the Slide the possibility of them coming is SLIM. Short of a Developer finding a way to shoehorn them in. its not one of the higher end phones and therefore has less priority than something like the Nexus S which I have no doubt this article is only referring to.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] mylostlonelysoul:
There is always room for hope! No need to be a negative nancy so soon. ")
[myTouch 3G Slide General] guitarist5122:
I second this! I am by far no expert of such technology, but what i read on wikipedia (i know, not the best source) nfc is simply the process of how file transfer works rather than hardware. It sounds like as far as hardware is concerned, our slide just needs the ability to tx/rx on a certain frequency. If that frequency is one bluetooth uses and our slide has bluetooth harware, that tells me maybe we will have that benefit of file transfer via bluetooth :)
