On the VaelPak Settings, I am getting an error saying you can only use this feature with VaelPak. If you are running VaelPak, then you did not allow settings settings root when it prompted.

It was working fine last night and earlier today.. Any suggestions on how to fix it?

Also when updating the prl, do you have to flash a different rom because it doesnt seem like it wants to connect?

Thanks!
[EVO 4G Android Development] lawsonmh15:
You found it, and willing to bet it becomes your new standard
[EVO 4G Android Development] lawsonmh15:
Other than the utterly helpful % icon, this is a good ROM?!?!? WOW... this is even better than the people clamoring for VP minus the theme and or theme-ability of the ROM. I need your address... I have an etch-a-sketch with your name on it. I'll even throw in a pager and a bag phone for free. You know, to cut down on all the clutter you've been forced to deal with in the BEST SENSE-BASED ROM ON EARTH!!!

Sorry to blast your post, and I'm sure Jim appreciates that you're appreciative and that you almost did an adequate job with the thinly-veiled criticism, but the bottom line is that there are only a few Roms out there worth flashing, and realistically, THIS, is the only sense ROM worth flashing (IMO) yet there always has to be a complaint about something that 99% of the rest of us LOVE about the ROM, which wouldn't really bother me if I didn't know that Jim is an EXTREMELY nice guy who doesn't release roms unless they're "bug-proof" in comparison to others.

I'm sorry to rant in your thread Dodd, but realistically, I've flashed more Roms than I'd care to count and lost tons of data having to wipe other roms and have never had the balls to complain or critique someone, or their team, for anything, let alone some nit-picky bull**** like this.
[EVO 4G Android Development] lawsonmh15:
Yes, yes there is
[EVO 4G Android Development] vaelek:
Can you PM me with your /system/build.prop? Have you flashed any mods since it was working?

PRL update should work here. I've found it works best if you have a good signal. I only get 2 bars at home (which is of course the only place I can ever remember I still haven't updated it) and it just seems to spin forever.
[EVO 4G Android Development] vaelek:
Now now... Everyone has different taste and I welcome all feedback here. Anyone who's followed my work knows I aim to please, and will do my best to accommodate as many requests as I can. Things like this is the reason Theme Builder came to be in the first place. My roms tend to contain unique mods that makes it difficult or impossible to use anyone else's themes without breaking something. Without comments like this, who knows what the current VP would be like.
[EVO 4G Android Development] igotroot:
Oh wow......drama up in the club! LOL

Hey VAEL even though this ROM isn't finalized, I'm still sending you an Apple Martini made with Skyy tomorrow ($) !!! I'm very pleased this far.

By the way, I launched the Email apk again, and this time it worked fine. I guess Hotmail was acting up yesterday.

Your/the Email apk is nicer than the HTC stock mail though. Your Email apk looks like the Gmail apk.

I tried the share keyboard feature.....kind of cool. I sent my phone some text, and it popped on my screen. LOL. Cool.

I still have the lag on the touchscreen scrolling only in the browser, (oddly, its not doing it now...hmm) but I suspect the kernel as well, as you stated earlier. I will keep using till u release a final build. Now, I did flash Caulkin's mms compression, but I doubt that would effect anything.

Now that I have your attention, I do have a question if u can answer please..... what exactly are the benefits of a Gingerbread Rom over a Froyo Rom? Is there something that can be done with GB that can't be done with FroyO?

EDIT: NO TOUCHSCREEN LAG ANYMORE. MAYBE A FLUKE.... I DID HAVE TO TOUCH HARDER TO RESOLVE ISSUE BEFORE, BUT MAYBE IT WAS MY PHONE....
[EVO 4G Android Development] lawsonmh15:
I know, and feel "kinda" bad. Having a rough night with my 5 month old daughter (allergies or cold) and the silly request got the brunt of the frustration. I still feel the way I described about such requests (let's face it, beggars can't be choosers) but either way, I should have just let it be. Sorry battery % guy.
[EVO 4G Android Development] lawsonmh15:
Try updating your browser. Are you using dolphin or which browser? Also, if it persists I'd try flashing net 4.3.2 cfs nosbc more and if that doesn't work, wipe with RA and start from scratch after backing up w titanium.
[EVO 4G Android Development] igotroot:
Not sure what browser....its the one that VAEL Pak 3.2 RC comes with...

Thanks.
[EVO 4G Android Development] igotroot:
Oops! User error...
[EVO 4G Android Development] lawsonmh15:
Good gravy man, please get another browser. Dolphin is awesome. I'd use Firefox for the sync if it weren't painfully slow to, we'll... do anything. Thus, I suggest dolphin with a ****load of addons
[EVO 4G Android Development] hellorenauldo:
Sorry to get back with the late reply V, but besides the virus roms, this ran on my phone for 4 days without me flashing something else. The only reason I did is because i wanted to see how something else looks. Needless to say.. this is currently being flashed back in recovery.

With the FC in the messaging app, I dunno how to get a log, but I will keep pickign around, but I notice it only does it when I hit the back button 2x to get back to the home screen. Its not really that big of a deal though because i can still send and receive stuff. but yeah, it only FCs when I back out of it.

I love this rom man. Its like super smooth and something about the wallpaper lol. Great battery life and all, U balanced this one out good. kudos!
[EVO 4G Android Development] vaelek:
To get a log, run the Catlog app, hit record, make the FC happen, back to catlog, stop recording, save to sd. Just tested the stock messaging and I don't get an FC when backing out... I don't really use the stock app though either. I started out with Handcent, and for the last month or so have been using GoSMS. The stock app to me just seems big and clunky in comparison to both of them. ChompSMS is another similar one, but I only used that briefly.

For Gingerbread, most of the changes are just in the look. I haven't played around with it too much, been busy with my own and all, but from what I've seen the biggest noteworthy change is the cloud music.
[EVO 4G Android Development] tjmontan:
Vaelek, ROM looks awesome..quick question before flashing (not a noob just noob to non-sense rom's, aosp)..I noticed in the OP that you had some side by sides to choose but not the HTC email client..Only reason I ask is that unless I am missing something (which I usually am)..each time I have flashed a ROM with only AOSP email..You can no longer search email (since I am a heavy business user--search is everthing in email). Also glad to see this has the HTC dialer and I know people love the AOSP dialer..(how do people use the AOSP dialer anyway--I have tried it and it does not show names as you type #'s--again unless I am missing something)--seems counter intuitive..Sorry for the long POST and again thanks for your hard work..
[EVO 4G Android Development] vaelek:
To be honest I assumed Mail was one that you had to have one or the other. I do have HTC Email available in VP Settings, which I just installed and it did not replace the AOSP. I also checked the search settings, and AOSP mail does not even show up as an option, though HTC Email does once installed. This is another one that I don't even use though.. I've been using Moxier for my Exchange mail for a while now.

For the AOSP Dialer, I myself use it just because I hate the HTC one. Contact searching does not work in it, but I never really used it as you describe. I figure if I'm dialing the # to begin with I might as well just keep dialing ;) Otherwise I just select from the Contacts tab when I need to make a call.
[EVO 4G Android Development] tjmontan:
Vaelek, thanks for the quick response..In your note you said HTC EMAIL is in VP settings but it did not replace AOSP Email? Does this mean it did not work or both now exist..if so, can I go to root explorer and remove the aosp email or will that bork the theme etc..(that very same thing happened when I ran Koni's rom for a few day)..thanks
[EVO 4G Android Development] vaelek:
They seem to coexist without a problem. Removing the aosp should not break anything.

Sent from my EVO
[EVO 4G Android Development] shad0w77:
vaelek, i have tried fresh, azrael, ava, and mik roms, but think i have settled on u'res for the time being. they are all awesome roms, but i love the fact that u put in different stuff that no one else has. for example, the settings, theme, and forum apps. just wanted to say, love the work! thanks for this.
[EVO 4G Android Development] tjmontan:
Vaelek, me again..sorry for the questions but I see in the OP screen shots there is an HTC dialer..how do I install that one and or delete the aosp version? Thanks again
[EVO 4G Android Development] vaelek:
You have both by default. The HTC one is the Phone icon in your app drawer that does not have the green border. (the green border one is AOSP).

To uninstall the AOSP one go to Settings > Applications > Manage Applications > All, and remove Contacts. The icon for it is a contact card with green tabs at the top.
[EVO 4G Android Development] tjmontan:
Awesome thanks Val..quick clarification--when you go settings>app>etc>all I see contacts/1.08mb, contacts storage/2.65mb, and contacts syn adapter/264kb...same color green icons--should I remove those too (or should I just keep both dialers--do you keep them both?)

p.s. For those like me that want to search email for exchange--BIG props to Val as even his HTC email client he throws in has his touch (themed elements)-Very cool Val, first person I have seen put some much detail into it!! Donation coming later..gotta figure out now how to play with the ROM as it is like a shiny toy (are the themes in Val settings good for this version too?)
[EVO 4G Android Development] vaelek:
Personally I do keep both dialers and alternate depending on what kind of mood I'm in :) If you do want to remove the AOSP, all you should have to remove is the one that just says Contacts.. It should take with it any linked elements.

As far as themes go, anything in Theme Builder should work on all versions (that was the point of it). Anything in Flash mods unless stated it is for 3.1 should not be used. I've cleaned up some of the confusing ones but have a little more organizing to do to make sure people don't end up having to restore because they flashed something not meant for their version.
[EVO 4G Android Development] volwrath:
Tether?

Vaelek, I seem to have an issue with DHCP in WiFi tether not working correctly. Also, I am having problems from time to time getting my Wifi radio to latch on correctly (It needs infrastructure mode). I noticed in your forums that you are having a similar problem with Sprint hotspot. Did you figure out what the issue is? Should I be using Sprint hotspot instead of wifitether? It seems to me I remember that Sprint hotspot doesnt work with 4G, and that apepars to be the case, but not sure.

Thanks for your rom, and promise Ill send a donation soon :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] WhiteiceDMSTech:
I just want to say great job and thank you Vael.

I have been using MYN's and MIUI as of late and I have also tried Kings, Mikfroyo and a few others.

I mean no disrespect to the others because I appreciate everyone's hard work and dedication to this scene, but I installed your ROM last night and was immediately impressed.

Lately it seems a lot of the ROM's are very much similar to one another in almost everyway. I can see you took your own time to personalize this with your vision of what it should look like, act like and it is beautiful.

The thing I appreciate the most, and I have only saw this on MYN's before and now yours is the settings/updater you have for your ROM and how smooth and easy it is to get the file, phone reboots itself, then you just flash.

Sorry for going on, but I just want to say I really am impressed with your work as I have never tried any of your previous work (if you have any) since I have been rooted for 2-3 months now.

I will be sending a donation your way in the next few days.

Thank you,

Whiteice
[EVO 4G Android Development] vaelek:
I'm not quite sure what's going on with hotspot for me. I don't have 4G so I stick to the hotspot app. For me, it keeps $%#$ unchecking DHCP and reverting to shutting off after 5min inactivity. It doesn't seem like this is affecting many people at all. I am currently running 3.2 upgraded from 3.0. Not sure if that's the common factor or not. I'll be digging into it more this weekend to try and get to the bottom of it. I've never run into this particular issue in the past.

I know others have been using it without issue, but I have not used the Wireless Tether app in quite a while. For the moment, in both cases, as a workaround, you can specify an IP in the wifi profile on the tethering device for that connection.
[EVO 4G Android Development] rjl09:
Awesome rom vael, great update and visual....one thing I got to have is that genie widget, I went to the vael extras folder, it was not there then I went to tapatalkxda_download folder and the genie widget didn't want to install...so I installed an old genie widget I had, it is installed but when I install the widget I get a force close...any ideas or any other genie widget u have that I can install? Thanks

Also went to the VPsettings download folder, and nothing is in there
[EVO 4G Android Development] uniquenameevo:
Not sure what you did, if you did anything...but I like the result.

I turned on 4G two hours ago where I know it doesn't work (my office) and have only lost 8% battery (few texts and such also). I am thinking it doesn't scan. I'll report back what happens when I hit 4G (if it connects automatically). Even if it's manual, much better than waiting for the radio to turn on.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ibengood:
which kernel is everyone having the best success so far with?
[EVO 4G Android Development] vaelek:
This widget was removed in 3.2. I didn't think it even functioned without sense. Ill check it out tonight and if it works get the current version in vps for you.
[EVO 4G Android Development] teddykgb715:
This is a really cool Rom, first I've found that I may actually use for a while rather than Warm 2.2.

Thanks!
[EVO 4G Android Development] teddykgb715:
One question - Do I need to have the AOSP lock screen to get the phone and messaging to show up on the lock screen? If so, how can I get the AOSP back after I used the mod in settings to put the HTC one back on?
[EVO 4G Android Development] legasus233:
For Christ's sake, I have children too who act up once in a while. Call me crazy, I don't take it out on people on a fricken forum on custom phone roms. Chill out dude, grab a beer or eight, and relax a little. I am not doing any begging or knitpicking or complaining of any sort. In fact, I told him the rom was great and was just curious if it was possible and simply asked. I came from a Hero with CM and that was an option, so I figured since this rom was so customizable, it could be done. I am in no way being critical of the rom, in fact its the best sense rom I have used thus far. I will continue to use it regardless of the percentage in the battery, just prefer it without, that's all.
[EVO 4G Android Development] legasus233:
Thanks for your reply. I am really digging this rom and have flashed about 15 others but plan to stick with it for awhile. Keep up the great work, you have set the bar pretty high with this one!
[EVO 4G Android Development] legasus233:
No worries dude, I guess I thought it was a really simple, non-silly question, with no underlying meaning or ripping of the rom that you took WAY out of context. Just wanted a yes or no answer on if it was possible to remove it from within the rom in a setting somewhere. I wasn't requesting he change the rom.
[EVO 4G Android Development] vaelek:
Yes you must use the aosp for this. You should be able to just uninstall the HTC one to get it back.
[EVO 4G Android Development] teddykgb715:
Uninstall from Settings -> Applications? Or using Titanium?

I tried through settings, and it's still the HTC slider....

UPDATE: Restart and it's good. Thanks!
[EVO 4G Android Development] vaelek:
You need to reboot after uninstalling it. I just tested it from Settings and worked. I did have to pull the battery because it sat at the boot splash for about 10 minutes. But after that it booted fine and the HTC lockscreen was gone. A quick reboot might do the trick also, but I didn't try that.

Edit: I need to finish my responses quicker lol.

Netarchy 4.3.2 nosbc cfs Java more aggressive
[EVO 4G Android Development] ibengood:
do you have a link for that one?
[EVO 4G Android Development] vaelek:
I believe java is auto correct for havs lol..

All netarchy kernels can be found here http://www.qap.la/~netarchy/

I will work on getting most of them up in vps this weekend as well...

[EVO 4G Android Development] leenypost:
How do you like the Xoom Jim? Is it an awesome toy? Worth buying or should I wait for quad cores in August?
[EVO 4G Android Development] leenypost:
I just want to say the is by far the best sense based sense-less ROM out as far as functionality goes. Everything works flawlessly for me. CM7 ROMS have problems with gps even though they now have 4g... I dont know... I never went to CM6 based because of no 4g or hdmi... I dont care so much about hdmi but being in NYC where we have 4g everywhere, if I'm paying for it... I want to use it... I'm sticking with you Jim because I don't like sense but I like the functionality that comes from a stock originated base... You have done an outstanding job this time and I haven't flashed a more stable working ROM ever.

Now if I could just decide on which Kernal I'd like to use I'd be all set. LOL

Question real quick.., Jim, what Kernal do you use? I know might not work the same for me.. I'm just curious... And also.... What do you use for a2sd settings and what size did you make a2sd ext3 part? did you make swap part? if so, what size? Thanks. Actually that is like 4 questions, LOL
[EVO 4G Android Development] vaelek:
It is pretty awesome :D I was going to wait for the wifi only to come out (rumored for next month in the mid $500's) but couldn't wait lol.. It does come with a hefty price tag, and it does have some minor issues that need to be worked out, but overall it is pretty solid and at least so far I have not regretted purchasing it. A friend of mine has one also and does not have one of the issues I do, being that sometimes I tap 'Install' in the market and instead of installing, a random app will launch. The other issue being that the external sdcard slot is not yet functional. But Motorola is supposed to be rolling out an update next month to fix that. The *only* lag I have experienced so far is in Angry Birds, when the ads are showing there is a slight lag in the animation, but I attribute that to the coding of the game and not the tablet itself. Honeycomb takes a bit to get used to, but after having it for a few days now I'm quite satisfied.

Purely to ensure it is stable prior to declaring it final I have been running with the bundled kernel (net 4.3.1 BFS No-Havs No-SBC). I plan to flash some variation of 4.3.2 this weekend and see how that fairs. The number of kernel options now is crazy I know..

Currently I am using the defaults for a2sd, again to ensure "stock" stability. I made my ext3 only 512mb but am finding that I am getting pretty close to that and should have gone with 1gb. I do not use swap. This weekend I am going to move dalvik to the cache partition to reclaim some space since I don't want to repartition right now and see how that performs.

Just as an FYI, the next update to VPS is going to include a2sd options.
[EVO 4G Android Development] leenypost:
Wow.. Great info.. Thank you!!

In my a2sd experience anything past 512mb seems to wind up causing me a little grief... 1gb wasn't so bad, an occasional card corruption here or there... but I tried 2gb once and the sd card seemed to get corrupted every day or 2 which was rather annoying to say the least... Might just be my card though, who knows?? 512mb never gives me any problems. If you fill up the whole 512mb and try to install more apps will it fail or just install to external storage at that point?

I have ran Dalvik on cache partition before and performance was solid. I do not think you will have an issue there.

Any chance you could get that honeycomb music player as a downloadable option off of your Xoom? It's pretty sweet.

Oh... I notice in VPsettings it says we must use your version of WiFi tether... Does that still hold true? I have always used #15 and it has worked great for me on every ROM thus far... I just prefer it as it has the ability to lock the screen to prevent an accidental shutoff of the tethering.
[EVO 4G Android Development] leenypost:
still LMAO @ Java more aggresive
[EVO 4G Android Development] therealmkl:
Just got done playing around for a day with the Destroyer ROM that I saw earlier this morning.

So far I've played with about 6 different ROMs on the forums and this VP has been the only one with all of the features I like/want/need that is stable and reliable.

Liked some of the features of the CM7 based ones but had issues with either 4g or VVM.

Awesome work Vaelek
[EVO 4G Android Development] igotroot:
Man, there are sooooooo many damn kernels out its #$%&*@ ridiculous. I read and read so much about how every phone acts differently even with the same kernel, and yet even so, some one should make a Kernel Review ... something that lists the alleged features of each kernel.

I mean, like the kernel that come with this ROM; what are its features? I went to Netarchy site and its not specific. Kernels do different things, and I'm sure more experienced flashaholics can get together and make this kernel review.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jfoster38122:
I keep getting random reboots.

Tried netarchy-toastmod-4.3.1-cfs-havs-nosbc-universal-signed

also and still the same issue

If I can figure out how to stop the reboots I think it would be a daily for me
[EVO 4G Android Development] RocSteadyNy:
Are you getting random reboots with the default kernal?
[EVO 4G Android Development] vaelek:
Someone I'm happy to say is a member over at my forums has put together a very impressive comparison of kernels. And it just so happens, I believe all of the non-AOSP kernels were tested on VaelPak.

http://home.comcast.net/~evoreviews/compiled.html
[EVO 4G Android Development] jfoster38122:
Yep the stock kernel started me looking for another one
[EVO 4G Android Development] vaelek:
I'm not sure if it will fail-over to the internal storage (original /data/app) or what exactly will happen if you fill it.. Never gone that far.

I'll check out the music player.. Not sure if it will play nice here or not.

I just tested both version of wifi tether. My custom version is working, though I had to reboot after installing before it would get an IP. Using the pre15 I was unable to get an IP. I will try and find some time this weekend to apply my modifications to pre15 and get that updated in VPS. Can you explain the lock thing a bit more? I saw the setting, but I'm still not quite sure what it's purpose is.
[EVO 4G Android Development] tjmontan:
Vaelak, now a member of your site and a donator!! When I go to vp settings and try to see the theme screen shots..I am sent to another site where I can't access the pics..are they on your personal site by chance?
