Thanks! Alpha 2 has been in the OP for download since 3/14

RC1 will be coming out by the end of the week as long as we work out this last issue.
[EVO 4G Android Development] cheflarry:
Should we post feedback on here or on savaged Zen forum?
[EVO 4G Android Development] mwielgosz:
Talk about it anywhere, we read both forums every day but we will not answer technical questions about the ROM here. Technical Support is provided from our forums.

You can also send feedback to dev.mwielgosz@gmail.com for a more direct line. I try to respond to all emails, and if there is a situation that you point out, it gets forwarded to the correct place.

Thanks!
[EVO 4G Android Development] CFitzgerald11:
has there been any thought in including the t-mobile theme chooser in this rom? i know you are trying to keep it as small as possible but it does alot theming and makes it easy to get different looks (something that i know would attract people from cm7) considering you have great battery life and speed.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mwielgosz:
Yes, we plan on including it at a later date. The Chooser is the future of themes. There is still quite a bit we need to do before we start implementing it, but it wont be too far off.

[EVO 4G Android Development] BlueHarford:
I tried to implement it before Mike came on board. Its allot of modifications and the kernel was too unstable at that point. We really have 1 major bug to work out now and one feature. But as of last night were on a feature freeze for version 1. Maybe it will make it into a subversion.
[EVO 4G Android Development] BlueHarford:
Questions or problems we prefer the sz forums as we will use issues from that to make our wiki. Comments on here is fine. As we progress xda thread will mainly be to release links only and helping each other. As its hard to keep track of everything. We pride ourselves in personally getting back to users quickly and we don't want to overwhelm ourselves and jeopardize that.
[EVO 4G Android Development] minieod:
any reason that an older GAPPS is in the OP, rather than the march 7th version?
[EVO 4G Android Development] BlueHarford:
CM7 Apps dont work well. Use the ones in the OP, and let it update from market, there are very few updates anyway
[EVO 4G Android Development] BlueHarford:

I wish you guys could add 6 bar signal, like how evrolve rom has ot
[EVO 4G Android Development] cheflarry:
Thanks for the update. Everyone should donate to the developers. We all could be running sence with a bunch of crapware. Thanks for your hard work guys!
[EVO 4G Android Development] RileyGrant:
This is a full ROM right? Not just an update to the Alpha, correct?
[EVO 4G Android Development] mwielgosz:
Yes, full rom. You just need gapps.

Edit: Make sure you use gapps from the OP, NOT CyanogenMod gapps.

Thanks! Flashing now, so excited!
[EVO 4G Android Development] xadidas4lifex:
hey how is the battery life?
[EVO 4G Android Development] aimbdd:
Great! haha. Have to try it out.
[EVO 4G Android Development] RileyGrant:
Real good so far. When I change the density back to the stock 240 my keyboard gets all out of whack and you can only see about half of it. Any way around this?

edit: And downloads from the market stall on downloading. Will try wiping.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mwielgosz:
I'm going to look into this issue tonight.

[EVO 4G Android Development] lithid-cm:
Would probably help if you had the rest of the LCD Density code eh? When I changed back to 240 the Keyboard is fine. Then issue lies within the IME. Once that supports density your issues will go away.
[EVO 4G Android Development] RileyGrant:
You're really on top of this, thank you for the quick work my man, I can definently see this becoming my daily in the near future, its so fast!

So this was built completely ground up? It's not using CM7 as base or anything like that?
[EVO 4G Android Development] starplaya93:
Edit: Never mind. Read the OP :o
[EVO 4G Android Development] mwielgosz:
Its using Google aosp android as a base with some popular added features from other roms and a few of our own. We have a ton of features in store for the near future

One more small recommendation, add in the clear voicemail notification option thats in cm7. Having my voicemail icon up there with no way to make it go away us my worst enemy.

haha, i'm holding off for that to, even though I rarely use it...

This is by far my most anticipated rom in a while. I might just go ahead and flash it later tonight or tomorrow since I really don't use camcorder (watch me actually need it for once and not have it, lol)
[EVO 4G Android Development] davidc23:
Yeah when I need something I don't have it

Liking RC1. Clean and qwik. For some reason when i do a full format+flash i get random reboots for the first couple hrs, weird. No matter what rom i flash. After that, all is good.

I switched from cm7, cant knock it, is def a great rom, but the sz rom is more my style, great job guys.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jta462:
Big screen, small stuff . . . good stuff same stuff, but better stuff. I like it. Keep up the great work. ill be running this for a few days. i look forward to the progression fellas.

[EVO 4G Android Development] jtadeo:
this ROM looks great... just wondering why the camcorder doesn't work when other AOSP roms have it working...
[EVO 4G Android Development] starplaya93:
I'd like to thank you for keeping an eye on the thread and responding quickly to all of our concerns.
[EVO 4G Android Development] BlueHarford:
Most AOSP roms out there right now are still mostly CM based. We're still working on getting this done.. as we are in RC1... this is not the final version. we have actually talked to CM directly about this and he explained about some change in how video is handled with 2.3.3 verse 2.3.1 and older... this will be fixed before Final and probably before RC2
[EVO 4G Android Development] lithid-cm:
I have used plenty of aosp roms, strangely enough CM is the only one using a CM framework. Not sure then if it's right to say that most aosp based roms are actually CM based roms. Now if you want to poke at other aosp roms we can link commits on your git specifying the CM code being used within your rom as well Or you can focus on your rom, and why your camcorder doesn't work and get it fixed. I would love to flash this but until a working camcorder works like the others I have to wait. Never know when the kid is going to do something silly! :p
[EVO 4G Android Development] davidc23:
Yeah lol I just can't wait
[EVO 4G Android Development] noahguz:

[EVO 4G Android Development] davidc23:
What's the density on this rom?
[EVO 4G Android Development] lithid-cm:
# cat /system/build.prop |grep -v '#' |grep lcd |awk ' { print $3 } '
240

Yours could be different.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mwielgosz:
Its defaulted to 190
[EVO 4G Android Development] mmarks9156:
just flashed looking good!
[EVO 4G Android Development] davidc23:
There smaller it is the Better the battery life or something?
[EVO 4G Android Development] mwielgosz:
Not necessarily, battery life always depends on individual setup. But, there are less reasons for your phone to have constant wake lock with less features overall.

Smaller images mean better performance. The less information the phone needs to seek through in order to find a file, the faster it will load. Also, a lot of the time it's graphics that take up a lot of extra space. Graphics take more RAM to load than simple source code.

So basically you're trading eye candy for performance, just like you would on a PC.
[EVO 4G Android Development] tropicalbrit:
I changed the LCD density to 240, now whenever I launch the keyboard it only shows half. Any "fix" for that? Market keyboards don't work that well either.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mwielgosz:
Yea we have a bug in the LCD density changer and are fixing it. The only workaround is to change the /system/build.prop file to show:

ro.sf.lcd_density = 240

Instead of:

ro.sf.lcd_density = 190

Then reboot
[EVO 4G Android Development] lithid-cm:
Tested this with adb shell:

# getprop |grep lcd
[ro.sf.lcd_density]: [240]
[persist.sys.lcd_density]: [190]

Then changed the value in settings and did a hotboot from the shell.

# getprop |grep lcd
[ro.sf.lcd_density]: [240]
[persist.sys.lcd_density]: [240]
# stop; sleep 5; start
# getprop |grep lcd
[ro.sf.lcd_density]: [240]
[persist.sys.lcd_density]: [240]

Keyboard and settings are fine. Remember if "persist.sys.lcd_density" is running the config will look at that first since its higher priority. Therefore setting ro.sf.lcd_density won't do much of anything, unless of course the code is wrong. Which I would be more then happy to help work out with you guys. Let me know.

Note: When I wrote this is was for a default of 240 density, keep that in mind.

Hint:

private static final String LCDD_DEFAULT = "240";

Might want to look at this line.
[EVO 4G Android Development] barnacles10:
Camcorder really has nothing to do with being cm based or not. Some aosp roms have working cam. Its just a matter of fixing it. Once the op figures out the pproblem, and fixes it, then we will have camcorder =P
[EVO 4G Android Development] davidc23:
Yeah I hope he gets it fixed before the weekend is over, I don't think it will happen. But I have hope lol
[EVO 4G Android Development] lithid-cm:
"You don't think it will happen" but your "have hope" which is it? I am confused.
[EVO 4G Android Development] LifeInTheGrey:
Being such a SZ kernel advocate, I had to try out the rom. Its pretty smooth, very responsive to the touch, and ADW seems to run a bit more smoothly than on CM. The lack of additional features is a mild setback, but I realize that is a temporary thing. Honestly the biggest thing for now is the fact I couldn't theme it haha ... I'm so vain.

Keep up the great work though, it is looking very promising.
[EVO 4G Android Development] BlueHarford:
I was the OP, it does, because the fix they are getting for the Camera is from CM, and allot of changes are required to make CM's fix work. We're looking into other options.
[EVO 4G Android Development] barnacles10:
Oh sorry. I thought you said most aosp roms are based on cm. Musta misread unless u mean lots of aosp roms used cms cam fix.

what does this even mean?!
[EVO 4G Android Development] Tilde88:
GPS dead, as with all other cm7s... and i cant gpsclrx from sense then flash to this with no wipe... doesnt boot... not really a RC imo
[EVO 4G Android Development] spyke24:
Could be a bad download or you didn't completely wipe your phone correctly before flashing. I'll be flashing in a few min.
[EVO 4G Android Development] LifeInTheGrey:
Not to combat your rather eloquent critique, but I just did navigation to and from my friends bridal shower, never lost lock. I realize it doesn't help your particular scenario, I just didn't want others to get discouraged from trying solely based on your misfortunes.

I have spoken.

[EVO 4G Android Development] slowpoke1976:

[EVO 4G Android Development] EndlessDissent:
I haven't flashed the Savaged-Zen rom yet, so your particular case may be different, but I always get that same force close a couple minutes after flashing a MIUI update. It's the only time it happens, though, never a second time. If it happens again, it may be a bad download or something, but for now, I wouldn't worry about it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] housry23:
Ok. Here is my feedback on this Rom. I made a nandroid of CM7 nightly 31 and then flashed this Rom, savagedzen bfs sbc kernel(latest) and sz gapps. Now whenever I open the market it is real buggy. Maybe I did something wrong, but whenever I try to download anything the market goes back to it's homepage and when I go to my apps it just shows what I tried to install and stays stuck on starting download. Has anyone else seen this issue? I managed to get all my apps back on with a pirated version of TB pro but since I bought it I would rather not use it pirated. Then I tried to change the density back to default 240 and the keyboard was messed up. The rom itself was very fast and fluid. It worked well. I could see it as a daily driver once these bugs are worked out. I spent maybe an hour on this Rom before nandroid restoring back to CM7. I love SZ kernels and have donated to them several times and I know I will love this Rom once the bugs have been worked out. I honestly don't think this should have been a RC because RC stands for Release Candidate and this is in no way ready for release. I am not saying any of this to bash the devs because they are doing great things here and I know I could not jump in and get things fixed myself. I appreciate your hard work on the Rom and keep updating it and you will have something good here.

EDIT: Okay I reflashed the Rom and booted into it without installing gapps. I then rebooted into recovery and wiped cache and davlik and flashed gapps. This time market works flawlessly. This Rom is quick and smooth. Boot time is fast as hell. This really is a good thing. May I make one suggestion. Leave the LCD density changer in, but set the default to the default 240 for EVO. I don't mind the 190, but the gap between icons looks funny to me and also my clock widget does not play nice with the 190 density. I had to get a different clock widget which isn't a big deal, but I really like the one I usually use. If you don't make 240 default at least let is change it without it messing up the keyboard. Thanks and keep up the good work.

PS. I am going to flash the 1.0 BFS SBC kernel to see if it will work or if that was the cause of the market not working. Honestly I think it was because I flashed it all at the same time.
[EVO 4G Android Development] davidc23:
Your phone probably doesn't like BFS, so that could be causing the lag. Also for the density, go back 1 page and they said they are working on it. IMO they made this a RC because only cam and 2 other bugs (from what I know) doesn't work. Also its only RC1, just wait for the next RC
[EVO 4G Android Development] spyke24:
Your backup dose not work with out a wipe because your not wiping the items you don't have backed up.
[EVO 4G Android Development] aimbdd:
Rc is used more freely. Look at cm... they are coming up on rc 3 and they are no where near ready. GM is the stable, almost final version.

You flash to sense... do the fix.. then reboot and open maps and get a lock, then you boot into recovery and wipe everything... then restore this rom. You don't flash over the sense rom.
[EVO 4G Android Development] cheflarry:
don't chastise me but 4g drains my battery more than normal with rc1. 1% a min with out doing anything. Does this sound right? With 4g off i get pretty good battery life.
[EVO 4G Android Development] noahguz:
What's wrong w SZ on ROM Manager?
[EVO 4G Android Development] BlueHarford:
Im looking into it
[EVO 4G Android Development] Tilde88:
wow... what does that have to do with anything?

i didnt even mention anything about backup... and yes i know to wipe and whatnot.... since you have a problem with reading ill elaborate.

when running a CM7 rom (or based rom) it is known that the gps does not work most of the time. as a fix, you can flash over your current AOSP rom with a sense rom (without wiping). this is so that you can enter ## codes (which can only be entered within the SENSE dialer). so after you have your sense rom flashed over your cm7 rom, you do##GPSCLRX# reboot, wait for boot, then reboot into recovery, and reflash your AOSP rom over the sense rom without wiping. if this still doesnt work there is an app in market called gps status alongside with fast reboot, and faster fix (names may be off by a letter or so), which help you further clear your aGPS state and download new satellite calibrations... None of this works. ive tried flashing a sense rom over without a wipe so that i can ## it... but that causes a boot error...

spyke24, PLEASE do not try to help when you know absolutely nothing about what you are talking about. it causes a ripple effect of people agreeing with something that is not only incorrect but irrelevant. I appreciate you trying to help, but dont just say what you think... we dont need any setbacks. and then of course theres the user like myself that feels urged to clarify what he means to the incorrect respondant.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mwielgosz:
If you or anyone else has trouble with the market again (not downloading, going back to the main activity), go into recovery and just wipe dalvik and cache. This is the temporary work around until I can pinpoint specifically what is causing this bug. There is so much else to work on at the moment that this has taken a lower priority as we have a workaround.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jdebutts:
is it lagging badly for anyone else?
[EVO 4G Android Development] cheflarry:
Nope smooth as silk!
[EVO 4G Android Development] housry23:
After I flashed gapps separately I no longer had the problem. I also flashed sz1.0 bfs kernel after all that & everything worked out fine. I had to go back to cm anyway because of the density problems. I like the normal 240 density & when I change it messes everything up. I really hope u guys decide to leave the density value at 240 & let those who want it change it. Thanks again for your hard work & I will continue to flash these & report bugs.

PS. For those of you bashing me for saying that this should not have been called an RC, yeah there a few bugs, but they are pretty major. It kinda seemed fast to me to go from alpha to RC with no beta. I'm just saying. I am not bashing the devs in anyway. These guys put their blood, sweat & tears into this stuff & I appreciate it. In fact I have donated several times to SavagedZen. I just gave my opinion & if its seriously offends u it must be right. Your opinion is valid & so is mine. This should still be in alpha because it has the same bugs that alpha 3 had. Yeah, I'm a donator so I got to test the alpha 3.
[EVO 4G Android Development] housry23:
Um, I use BFS all the time. I am not some noob that doesn't know what I'm doing. In fact when I flashed everything separately I had no issues. I never even said anything about lag. Hmmm...well thanks for your help anyway.
[EVO 4G Android Development] fatlard:
Silly question. How do you get the Clock, Temp and Data as show in your screen shot? Looks like a mini sense?
[EVO 4G Android Development] snrubs13:
Looks like the app "Beautiful Widgets." It's a paid app, check it in the market.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mwielgosz:
Just like snrubs13 said, its beautiful Widgets. Awesome clock
[EVO 4G Android Development] aimbdd:
You can wipe in-between the flashing if the sense rom. Also you have to open Google maps and let it get a good fix on you before flashing back to gb. That might be your problem.
[EVO 4G Android Development] aimbdd:
Wasn't bashing, jjust pointing out that cm has rcs that aren't close to a good product either. What bugs besides cam weren't fixed?
[EVO 4G Android Development] BlueHarford:
BTW there were about 10 beta's we had before releasing this. We dont release betas for this reason. we have closed tests, when we have open tests we get people that dont give good feedback, and just complain about issues, doesnt help when trying to fix things.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Tilde88:
Sorry, should've specified. GPS by itself... not with wireless network assistance. Does it work for youwith just the GPS box ticked? If not it could just be triangulated through 3/4g
[EVO 4G Android Development] BlueHarford:
If your having GPS problems, you need to flash Sense and do the GPSCLRX thing... boot up, then reflash SZRom.
