Thanks. I will try that kernel....

U know what, I will stop being lazy and just look up the apps on the market! :D

It's called quality developing :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] ibengood:
Vael,

How do you add sound to the boot animation? I have changed the boot but cannot get sound to work.. I have put the sound in the resource folder yet it does not play when booting? Do you have any suggestions?

Thanks
[EVO 4G Android Development] vaelek:
If you used the animation importer in VPS and are on RC1 (and have not downloaded the new VPS in mods > apps (results may vary on rc1)), it doesn't work with audio. You would first need to restore the original and then copy the zip and mp3 both to the resource folder.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ibengood:
I had the Black Ops on the RC1 and it worked great.. stupid me deleted the flashable zip and I was trying to put it on RC2 by replacing the boot and adding the sound.. i get the boot but no sound now..

Ok got a question. So when in forced roaming w this new Rom my phone says 1x instead of 3g or 4g. I'm assuming the 1x means I'm on a Verizon tower since my friends BB on Verizon reads 1XEV . So is 1x on my phone mean 3g? On my stock 2.2 rooted Rom it either said 3 or 4g when I'm in forced roaming. Thanks. Oh and I'm in mass
[EVO 4G Android Development] Funkmon:
I will make sweet sweet love to the man who updates this ROM with the new gingersense leak.
[EVO 4G Android Development] vaelek:
1x is an older CDMA connection. Think of it as 2.5G. HTC decided to make it appear as though you are always on a 3G connection even when you aren't. RC2 fixes that and shows 1x when it should.

The leak is not complete. I did have a look at it and went through the first phase of VaelPak-ifying it, and the results were no good. Brightness is stuck at the max. The market and GV don't work. There were some other issues I can't think of off the top of my head.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Thegovernor:
Vaelek,

I'm on 3.2 rc2 I forgot to mention that. Thanks.for a fast response. U deff are the man. Great effen Rom, I love it. I also got a 4g icon while in forced roaming at my house. Does that mean I'm on Verizon 4g lte?

Also is there a way to know what tower I'm on? When forced roaming locally it won't tell me. Not that its a big issue but I would like to know. Could it be incorporated into the Rom at some point if u get a chance? Thanks. . . From a newbie. Lol
[EVO 4G Android Development] igotroot:
Mr. VaelPak ...... as with RC1, RC2 causes a PROCESS COM.ANDROID force close in the HTC Dialer when dialing *2 to contact Sprint customer care. Using the AOSP dialer works fine.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Thegovernor:
U are rite sir. Good catch ^^^^
[EVO 4G Android Development] Funkmon:
Yikes! I didn't know there were such issues with the new leak. Oh well. Good onya for checking it out though! That's why you're the best.

Newbie VP user here.

Ive had latest running for a couple days finding it to be the Best rom Ive used to date.

hmm Well CM nightly 18 was rock solid so I will call it equal :)

Thanks for your great work I will be sticking with it looking forward to future builds.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jklong03:
That is most often due to the fact that SprintZone is not installed, at least that has been the case on MikFroyo roms, FWIIW:D

@ Vael or anyone that can assist me.

First, Let me say this ROM is FN awesome...you can check my sig and see that I have two ROM's that I love, but now I'm having second thoughts...almost feel like I'm cheating, lol. This is the first ROM I don't have to theme whatsoever! Now to the questions.

Okay please don't flame me and I'll be honest, I didn't search because I was installing this ROM at around 1am this morning. Anyhow, I've tried to remove some of the apps I don't need for space (swype, appshare, etc.) via Titanium...however after a reboot they reappear. So what can I do? Also what apps are a no-no on removing...Peep, Friendstream, etc?

Sine this is the lastest version, did I need to add on VP settings v1.3? Since we can tether through the native Hotspot feature, do I need to use VP wireless tether in order to tether using 4G?

Last, are there any tips or tricks someone can shoot my way? I've already done the themeing part, which is sick! And everything works too!

Great job on this ROM...a very nice and smooth mix of Sense and CM7...without the issues!

A donation will follow this week.

Edit- Also how can I get rid of the GPS icon, when not in use?

TIA!
[EVO 4G Android Development] vaelek:
If you update VPS to v1.3 you will get a new section for removing system apps safely. HTC Dialer is the only one so far that causes "problems" (lots of FCs after removing), but a reboot will clear that up.

VP Wireless Tether is still needed for 4G tethering unless you are a subscriber.

The best tips are often found on my forum

RC2 has the GPS mod already in it, if you are on RC1, you'll need to flash the Services Update 1 from Mods > Flash mods in VPS. You will find a toggle in VPS after updating it, under Device Settings > System Settings, where you can set it after that.

Most importantly, there is

NO CM7

here. Everything that is AOSP is my own builds.
[EVO 4G Android Development] sag7392:
Thanks for the swift response...your ROM really is that damn good!
[EVO 4G Android Development] sag7392:
@ Vaelek

Man, I've tried several ROM's since day one and all I can say is you got it right!!! I can't believe how smooth, fast, customizable, and packed with goodies this ROM is. You can really tell A) You know what you're doing and B) You care about the quality of your work. With that said, here's something torward the effort to continue doing what you do- Confirmation 3MF67873DG175941S --a sig change is coming for sure.

One request---I'm a huge fan of the color cyan, can you give it some thought on adding it to your theme options?

Thanks!
[EVO 4G Android Development] v3rmie:
Thank you for the excellent ROM. I have one question, there are tei phone apps and I can choose which contact list to use, between people/sense or contacts/aosp, I prefer using the aosp version however it does not provide any results when searching for names. I can hit the capacitive button to search however results do not appear. Wondering if anyone could duplicate or if there's a fix.

Thanks again for the coolie ROM.
[EVO 4G Android Development] tgeigel:
This rom has the hotspot unlocked or does it have the tether app? Sorry if this question was already asked, im new to the vealpak rom
[EVO 4G Android Development] jstalford:
I'm not sure, but wireless tether will let you tether or 4g and sprint hotspot won't, so I've never used the other.
[EVO 4G Android Development] igotroot:
Hey Jim... I found another quirky experience... now, on my lady's Evo with a HTC browser, the following website comes up and stay on. On my browser included in RC2 the page loads up, but then my entire browser closes and I'm back at the main Evo screen, meaning the screen you see when u first turn your phone on....its like someone pressed the back key that is on the right of the menu button.... try it:

http://www.allfamilylaw.com/CM/Custom/Gwinnett-County-Judges.asp
[EVO 4G Android Development] vaelek:
It's a known issue that the AOSP Contact search does nothing. Haven't been able to figure that one out yet unfortunately. The only workaround is to search using the search button from the home screen, assuming your search settings include contacts.

Hotspot is fully working here yes. It will not work on 4G, for that you have to use my version of Wireless Tether in Vaelpak Settings > mods > apps

This is an odd one, and yes it does the same thing for me. Seems like a bug in the AOSP Browser. I'll check into it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] lordhelmet00:
This is a VERY impressive ROM. And this thread is equally impressive. The work on this ROM is evident. The only two issues I've noticed on my end: I constantly get email notifications on my pop email account that I have set up for work. In other ROMs I've noticed that there is an option in the settings to only receive email notifications on new email. This option is absent here, and I can't shake my unscientific theory that the constant email notifications hover somewhere in this info. I read somewhere here that I could use the HTC email app, but is this a mod that needs to be flashed?

My other nagging issue is battery life. I've never quite figured out how to get good battery life on any of my phones, and that may be that I just use my phone a lot. But with this ROM the battery drain is crazy. I have an extended battery, an I am getting maybe 8 hours of moderate to heavy use before I get into less than 15%. I have tried the Kernel that came with the ROM, and the htc kernel listed in the VP settings, but no change. I am hesitant to jump around kernels too much, because I've yet to educate myself on all the different kinds of kernels like HAVS, no-HAVS, BFS, etc. I am using Hardware version 0002. Anyway, any input is appreciated, and once again, LOVE this ROM!
[EVO 4G Android Development] beartrap:
Vaelek - Great job on this ROM. I'm liking everything I see and have had no problems except the Hulu download didn't fix it for me, so I just used the Hulu and Flash I had from another ROM and that worked fine (and didn't break Pandora). The only thing I miss coming from an AOSP ROM is the call answer screen. I hate how Sense has the slide to answer feature that makes me either auto answer or auto deny many calls since I keep the phone in my pocket, screen against my leg. Is there any way that this can be changed to something else?

Edit - first issue found, when I turn airplane mode off, 4G gets turned on and stays on even if it was off to begin with. This happens whether I use my SwitchPro widget or main power control menu to go in/out of airplane mode. I was having a similar issue with the Destroyed ROM, but couldn't stick that out due to gps issues, so I suspect it is a Power Control Widget problem, not a ROM problem. I searched but couldn't find any solutions. Any ideas of how to fix?
[EVO 4G Android Development] beartrap:
Found the original Power Control Widget thread here and there was an update for this issue so I flashed the version for those already with the PCW and it didn't work.
[EVO 4G Android Development] beartrap:
Over two and a half days since my first post and no replies? Not even replies by people that don't have this problem? This ROM is too good to not be in use, so I can't believe I'm the only one using it.

[EVO 4G Android Development] sladehawke:
Yeah, use Vaelek.com...

The rom is too bug free for most of us to bother browsing threads any more. It just works, and turns flashaholics into normal people again.

You have a common widget issue... I just use the menu>settings>wireless & networks>4G to turn it off/on

I use "extended controls" and it has the same problem...

Thanks. I just flashed RC2 and that didn't fix the airplane/4G issue and screwed up my WiFi, so I've gone back to RC1.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Skitzi:
Head on over to http://vaelek.com and check out the themes section. The ThemeBuilder tool in the rom along with some of the ported themes showing up has really made the customization possibilities multiply.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Skitzi:
The clock widget -> Check out FancyWidgets

The clock app/alarm clock -> head over to http://vaelek.com. The rom comes stock with AOSP but the HTC version is available very easily.

This thing us frickin awesome! Was using Myn. Where can I get more info on the usb host? That sounds really cool. Also, what is the advantages of the different launchers? I am used to the sense and haven't used the two that you used.

Will the most recent swype beta work with this? I had some problems with it on Myn 5. Lastly, adb wireless? Need to learn more about this too.

So much cool stuff. I will be busy for days. Thanks!

now i have never really been a fan of senseless'less roms, but this one here i love! the look and everything, the way you can customize it. Love it. Flashed this as soon as i saw u post it.

My only issue is I get FC on the messaging when i exit out of it everytime. Would that be a kernal issue?
[EVO 4G Android Development] vaelek:
I personally have no answers as far as the USB host thing goes... ADW is based on the AOSP launcher, though heavily modified. Launcher Pro is.. man.. how to explain lol.. Just try 'em :) Personally I am using GoLauncher right now.

In order to replace Swype, you will probably have to delete /system/lib/libSwypeCore.so along with /system/app/Swype.apk, reboot then install the beta.

adb wireless is for connecting to your phone via adb shell (this uses ssh, the client of choice is Putty) without the need to have the sdk or adb installed and set up.

I've gotten most of the way through 1/2 of the framework so far.. basically the smaller of the two. I'm hoping to have it ready in a day or two, but just because life happens, it may not be until the weekend.

Can you elaborate a bit more on what causes the FC? and if possible can you obtain a log of the crash?

[EVO 4G Android Development] vaelek:
From memory the changes since U3 are (I'm sure there is something missing from this list that I didn't make note of at the time)

Added Process Monitor widget & VaelPak Forums app

If using the 4 sliders on the lock screen, the messaging icon is fixed

Fixed Adobe Reader FC

Fixed DSP Manager

Better SD read performance (better than that cheap 128kb going around)

Compatible with CW 3.x

Auto-enable Shared Keyboard

Updated all apps (meaning Gmail & flash updates no longer occupy space in both /system & /data)

Removed Genie Widget, DCSStock, PDF Viewer

New MIUI Music

Added bashrc. Type 'bash' in a shell to get colorized output

You should be able to flash this over 3.1U3 without a problem so you don't have to set it all up again. (backup to be safe of course if trying)

Yes you can add any .TTF font. I've been meaning to add an import option in VPS but it keeps getting away from me. You just need to place them in /data/local/fonts

I've never used this mod myself.. What size did you set?

Correct. I no longer have any worry over using an SBC (trickle charge) kernel, but I am no longer bundling it by default. This comes with Netarchy 4.3.1 BFS No-Havs.
[EVO 4G Android Development] :
@vaelek

Rom manager doesn't see the clockwork recovery flash by VaelPak settings. Flashing a clockwork recovery from rom manager breaks settings (FC). It's no biggie for me I just miss naming my backups.
[EVO 4G Android Development] italy7:
dl'ing now look forward to trying this, thanks :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] vaelek:
Something else must be going on. I have Clockwork 3.x flashed via Rom Manager and VPS is working fine. It does occasionally FC at startup for various random reasons that go away by just launching it again. If you flash CW via rom manager, then flash recovery in VPS, rom manager will still think you have whatever you flashed with it. I spent a lot of time trying to determine how it detected what recovery you have and the truth is it doesn't. It simply remembers whatever it itself flashed last.

If you are in fact getting reproducible FC's when doing this, please send a log. If you're unfamiliar with logcat, you can use the bundled Catlog app to record and save it as a text file on the sd card.

[EVO 4G Android Development] vaelek:
This was one of the worse problems with the initial release of 3.0. I tried to test everything that went wrong that time in 3.2 but forgot about that particular issue.. However... I just tried it myself and it installed without a hitch. I am currently running 3.1 updated to 3.2 w/o wipe. Did you flash 3.2 from a wipe or over another version? The fix for this on 3.0 was to use Titanium to repair busybox (the Problems? button).
[EVO 4G Android Development] :
I flashed CW3 via Rom Manager and everytime I try to open VPS Device Settings it FC's. Retried with CW2.5 through RM and same. When I get the chance I'll post the log.

[EVO 4G Android Development] ibengood:
I know I would probably get a quicker answer posting on Vael's forum but I haven't set it up on my phone. I am having an issue with facebook for sense. It would not sync with my contacts so I deleted the account and re-added it. It corrected the syncing issue however a new problem started. It constantly syncs even with the auto sync and background data unchecked. I switched roms to see of the problem was with the app itself and when I switched the issue went away, and when I switched back after wiping everything the issue came back. Does anyone have a suggestion on how to correct this??

Thanks.

Im on RC2.. I may just have to reinstall it completely..
[EVO 4G Android Development] leenypost:
I have run into your issue once on RC1... I recommend you to install from scratch after wiping everything numerous times... Sometimes the wipes do not work 100%.. Also, if you are using CMW 3 downgrade to 2.6 as 3 has issues. I use AR 2.3 with no problems... Also, before I flash anything I use Calk's Format all zip file about 5 times as well as wiping everything individually about 5 times through the recovery menu.. Might seem like a little overkill but I figure the extra few minutes up front can save a lot of hassle time down the road.

Ok, so vaelpak/vaelek is about the only rom i HAVENT ever flashed. Was just taking a look at it, and it looks like an amazing amount of work was put into it. Wanna try it.

So i see here is a link to his site, and i just scoped it, but Dont see roms to download.

I usually use virus roms, but also really themed aosp roms, and have been playing with the new sense3.0 releases a bit, but not a huge fan.

If anyone can point me where exactly i should be looking on vaeleks site for good aosp roms or semi-sense roms, I'd much appreciate it (as his site seems about as difficult to find sh1t as virus' site). Thanks in adavance

Awesome looking work vaelek.
