Just wanted to pop in and say this is an awesome ROM. After being a flash whore for a while I think this will be my daily driver for a while. It has the perfect mix of stock with AOSP.

I have one questions tho. Is there a way to get rid of the AOSP or Sense items we don't want? ie. The dialer. I like the HTC dialer and would like to remove the AOSP dialer so its just not sitting there taking up space.
[EVO 4G Android Development] nextelfixer:
I installed the 2.2 browser because I kind of like the look a little better. I tried to follow your instructions to delete the AOSP browser, but I can't find it in Titanium backup or in the applications menu. The only one I see is the 2.2 browser. I tried remounting the system as suggested, but still no good. Any Ideas?

Hey akarol,

I'm using Nets 4.3.4 cfs-havs-sbc-less (http://qap.la/~netarchy/netarchy-toastmod-4.3.4-cfs-havs-less-sbc-universal-signed.zip) and so far is working great, no reboots, battery life is way better that the others I've tried in this rom, I have Setcpu set up to 128-245 when screen is off and it seens to help, try it and give it a day or so to adjust to your usage and phone.

In terms of Launchers, I'm using Launcher pro plus and works as a charm, no lagging the 3d drawer is beautiful as well as the desktop transitions, set the opeining screens to fast (9, or 10). I tried Livehome as well and HTC dialer/people app was a good to go. I just got tired of flashing Rosie zips and stuff. LP is all I use now.

This rom is great in terms of speed and stability, I used to fash roms left and right before but Vaelpak is my choice so far, do a back up of what u have right now and flash this, you won't be dissapointed.

Here you have couple of screenshots of my current set up:

Duplicate HTC / AOSP Apps

I used Titanium Backup to remove all the duplicate HTC apps. No issues yet. When I removed the HTC Dialer I did have to pull the battery cause some process was constantly FC. After the reboot everything has been great!
[EVO 4G Android Development] vaelek:
It is a Sense widget and will not work here. Some similar alternatives are Fancy Widget Pro or Beautiful Widgets (neither free though)

To remove the AOSP Dialer, all you have to do is uninstall the Phone app with the green border. It is not installed as a system app so you can uninstall it like any other app.

Uninstall it before replacing it ;) If it doesn't return after reboot, you're all set.. if it does, then follow those steps to remove it and install the HTC one again afterward.

I don't think anyone has tested (or at least reported results) removing the HTC Dialer.. Good to hear it works though! :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] nextelfixer:
Thanks, I'll try that

Worked perfectly :)

Hey guys,

Anyone using Handcent having issues with the popups waking up the screen? Mine will no longer do it once I started using this rom....

No issues here. Handcent was the first app I put back on the phone after flashing and so far it is working perfectly.

Anybody know of a hack for the Sprint TV app so as not to pay the $10 or whatever fee? U know so I can watch sports broadcasts live?
[EVO 4G Android Development] akarol:
I accidentaly Defaulted the bottom-right button on the HTC Dialer to the AOSP Dialer and I can't get it back now. How do I go about it?

I tried removing AOSP dialer altogether and I can't find the Phone app in Titanium Backup or Applications.
[EVO 4G Android Development] akarol:
Also... I noticed that the included e-mail app does not have a widget showing the unread count. Unfortunately, this is something I cannot do without. Any ideas for a replacement? I tried installing the HTC Mail App but I forgot that the widget is only in Sense. :(
[EVO 4G Android Development] igotroot:
It's called phone. Look in your app drawer.
[EVO 4G Android Development] akarol:
I can find it in my app drawer, but not in Titanium or Applications settings where I can uninstall it. How do I uninstall it directly from the app drawer?
[EVO 4G Android Development] igotroot:
Hmmm. If its a.system file it has to be done maybe in terminal commands. I see Dialer in my list on TB, but not sure if that will work for u.
[EVO 4G Android Development] vaelek:
The aosp dialer is not a system app. You can uninstall it right from the app drawer. In tb I believe it is labeled as contacts

SBC kernels, tricking charge battery issue.

Be cautious if you are in one of these kernels or are planning to flash one, I used Nets 4.3.4 cfs-havs-sbc-less for a while but was noticing that my Evo was getting really hot from time to time and was suddenly dropping 5% to 10% points of the total charge in an instant. Charging time was fast for a full charge compare to all the other versions of net’s non sbc kernels. After a lot of debate and reading I’ve decided to try Zyggy Evo 471 2.6.32-cfs-havs-less to tackle the overheating issue, now the overheating issue has gone but I notice that the battery drained from 100 to 60% charge really quick after a full charge with Zyggy, the fast pace drainage stopped at 55% in a period of 1 ½ hours but after that it lasted two hours to drop to 51% and then lasted for 6 more hours to drop to 15%.

I believe the issue was the charging time, for my Evo was charging to 100% really fast with Nets Sbc compare to Zyggy and other non Sbc kernels.

Is it possible the Sbc kernel was tricking the battery on to thinking that it was fully charge when it wasn’t?

Answer: Yes

The sbc scare is dead as far as I am concerned. That thread had 7 "casualties" when it was first started, in dec, it now has 8.

Wipe your battery stats.

[EVO 4G Android Development] Lrod0175:
Wiping my battery stats now, I will let u know the outcome tomorrow.

Thanks.
[EVO 4G Android Development] RaphB:
I had so many problems with the Net 4.3.1 that I would not discard the issue completely, however I do not think it is forcely related to the SBC as with the Nets 4.3.2 cfs-havs-sbc-less, I had in excess of 12 hours of battery and my phone worked way better (with 4.3.1, I could not hold the charge for more than two hours).

I did for reference reset the battery with the procedure advised by HTC (not the phone stats).

So I am not clear if the issue was resolved by switching to 4.3.2 or by the reset procedure itself. Regardless, with the SBC I got a decent battery life which wiped to me the concerns raised on the subject. The only think that I did not resolve so far is why I cannot charge my phone from the car anymore!!! The charge will start but stop within 2 minutes. My wife's phone charges fine but her was not rooted and has the original Sprint stuff & ROM (this is excluding the bad car charger explanation).

VaelPack 3.2 RC1 First Impressions coming from Fresh and Myn 2.2:

BUGS:

1. Nothing happened when clicking on Add Another E-mail Account during initial setup wizard. Was able to add my corporate e-mail account afterwards though.

2. Calibrating the G-Sensor: Calibration seem to perform normally, but shows "Calibration Aborted" message every time.

3. Don't know if this is normal, but when attempting to flash the Stock 3.2 Theme from VP Settings, it downloaded the theme fine and just rebooted into Amon-RA 2.3 recovery and stood there. I could manually navigate to the "Flash .zip..." section and flash the theme normally, but I figured it should do that automatically right?

4. I noticed that the FPS and Frame Count from Quadrant are cut off at the bottom. I figured this was a screen density issue?!

SUGGESTIONS:

1. The boot animation should be worked on. Seems a bit dated.

2. A full page Calendar widget (similar to Sense's) should be included. Any suggestions?

3. VP should use CM's E-mail apk. Not only is it a bit more customizable, but it comes with an unread email count widget which is almost impossible to come by for launchers other than Sense, MotorBlur, and TouchWiz.

4. The HTC Dialer/Contacts should be the only available. It's light-years ahead of AOSP.
[EVO 4G Android Development] vaelek:
1. Yup. Still working on removing it entirely from the setup wizard. I got 'other account' removed.. Anyhow, it is caused by the AOSP email being the one installed by default.

2. Figured this out.. If you have root explorer, go to /data and set the permissions for the misc folder to all enabled. (or another file manager that has this ability). If you have android terminal emulator, launch it and type 'su <enter> chmod 777 /data/misc <enter>'

3. Amon Ra has no automation, only CW. CW3 also seems to be 1/2 broken and listens to the automation commands only sometimes.

4. What density are you at? (probably)

5. I'd love to have the time to spend on it... any volunteers? ;)

6. The best I've found is not free (Touch Calendar or Pure Grid). Launcher Pro Plus also has one similar to the Sense one I think.

7. Pretty sure it will not work here but I'll give it a shot.

8. Potato Potato (that doesn't really work typed lol)..

I for one would have to disagree about the boot animation. I think its bad ass! Its got a Grindhouse/Tarintino/ Rodriquez feel too it:D

What are the pros and cons of Ziggys vs Netarchy kernels? I'm on Netarchy 4.3.4 now. Although my CPU says it has a max GHz of 1.28 I can only go to 1.19.
[EVO 4G Android Development] igotroot:
I had to dump Netarchy Toastmod's Beta 4.3.4 CFS No UV No HAVS No SBC as it caused my display to haphazardly shake my screen images sometimes, and freezes up only to go away after hitting sleep button. It also cut my images when appearing in my Gmail in half. It also under-performed in the Quadrant scoring.

HOWEVER, I LOVE the Netarchy 4.3.1 that comes with VaelPak 3.2 RC 1...... I just got a whopping 1443 quadrant score! It also gets me better battery life than the 4.3.4 I used.

When VaelPak final comes out, its gonna be a beast.

Anyone know of a high quality , if not the best, 32gb card to buy at awesome price?
[EVO 4G Android Development] vaelek:
Some more new things going on..

AOSP Email now up in VPS Mods > Apps

AOSP & HTC alternate versions with a new animated status bar icon also in Mods > Apps (preview the icon here)

Anyone who built and flashed the Honeycomb battery mod in theme builder may have lost the icon while charging. There is a (new, as in 2nd) fix posted for that in theme builder and all the battery mods have been re-worked. With the fix applied, you can go between any of them including Honeycomb, and the animation will play as it should (honeycomb was previously not playing all the way as it has about 60 more images than the rest and required extra tweaking)

Got some other cool things coming soon also. I can now basically animate just about anything that is an image.

Awesome thanks for the quick reply, flashing now =)
[EVO 4G Android Development] shad0w77:
hey vael... what does the "fix missing charge icon" do in theme builder????
[EVO 4G Android Development] vaelek:
For some people, when they flash one of the batteries, usually the Honeycomb one, the charging icon disappears. That will correct it, and also make the honeycomb charge animation play all the way through. It has put a few people into boot loops and I'm working with one of them now to try and figure out why.. as it says on there... BACKUP FIRST ;)
[EVO 4G Android Development] shad0w77:
So are we supposed flash the fix or the battery first?
[EVO 4G Android Development] vaelek:
It really shouldn't matter. I've tested it in about every combination and I can't make it fail.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Lrod0175:
There are a lot of variables here to discuss between those two, the Netarchy's kernels are more mainline than Zyggy's, now in my point of view it has to do more with what type of kernel u are using, BFS, CFS, SBC, HAVS, NO HAVS, UV, for each one perform different and as we all know phones turn to react different as well, for each phone seems to have a different mind set when it comes to kernels and Roms as well.

Zyggy's BFS kernels for some reason are causing issues like lagging and random reboots due to the nature of BFS itself, those BRAINFUCK schedulles can be trycky when it comes to coding, especially with HAVS, as the schedulling tries to give priority to the apps that required more processor power, in contrast CFS kernels are more fair to apps, because it keeps a fair processor schedulle to all the apps. I don't recall seeing the BFS kernels on Net's page anymore with the 4.3.4 versions.

There is not a way that we can say which one is best as every phone its different, but for me the Net's 4.3.4 cfs-havs-less is working great, it seems to be the one my phone like the best,, the 4.3.4 cfs-havs-more and the SBC's I've tried were getting my evo really hot, in contrast the ZYGGY's addressed the heating problems but I was getting performance issues with the BFS estates. With NET's I get 10 to 14 hours now depending on usage with SETCPU (128-245 when screen is off) conservative state.

On the ZYGGY'S side, the EVO 471 CFS-HAVS is the one that I would recommend trying for it seems to work best with my phone, keep in mind that every phone is different, for some phones the NOHAVS are better, the whole thing with HAVS is that it tries to undervolt the processor to save power, so keep that in mind when trying the LESS AGGRESSIVE AND MORE AGGRESSIVE states. The SBC I don't like these too much as it tryckles charge the battery and for my phone battery it did not fit too well.

As for overclocking, I will not recommend you go over 1115 as the cpu stress increases dramatically and it can cause overheating and performance issues as well, Im overclocking at 1113 and I find it to be the perfect state for my evo.

Here is a link where u can read more info for these kernels, make sure to open the pdf file.

why am i getting a "Write access for the system partition was not established on your device and therefore ****Program**** will have to be closed. Please make sure your device has NAND unlocked before you try again" error message whenever i try to run either Font Changer Pro or VM Heap Tool? i have never received this message before on any other ROM. thanks.
[EVO 4G Android Development] vaelek:
VM Heap tool works fine for me here? JFYI - the heap size is already set to the optimal value.

Can't test font changer pro since it's a paid app, but it's by the same dev so I would assume my results would be the same.. Have you done anything with your busybox since flashing?
[EVO 4G Android Development] kminatta:
thanks for getting back to me so soon. i haven't done anything with the busybox that i know of. i have "BusyBox Installer" installed, and it shows that i am on version 1.17.3 (most recent version is 1.18.4, according to the app). the odd thing is that the built in Font Changer that came with Vaelpak works fine...
[EVO 4G Android Development] vaelek:
Same version I have that comes in the rom (1.17.3). It is possible when you installed it from the Market you got a version that is broken. No need to install anything for Busybox here. You might try the Problems? button in titanium backup to repair Busybox. If that doesn't work, I would contact the dev of those apps. From the market post on them it seems problems are common and he does ask to be contacted to get it fixed up.

It may be useful for him to know that on this rom, fonts are relocated to /data/local/fonts and symlinked to the original location.
[EVO 4G Android Development] kminatta:
just tried the Problems? button, but it didn't help. will installing the newer version of busybox cause any issues with your ROM?
[EVO 4G Android Development] vaelek:
The newest version is not stable. The post for those apps says outright they will not work with it. It will likely cause other problems as well.
[EVO 4G Android Development] kminatta:
gotcha...i'll start working with the developer of those apps. thanks again for all of the help!
[EVO 4G Android Development] kminatta:
i posted on the thread for Font Changer, and this is what the app developer said:

"That's an issue with the ROM I'm afraid. You should point these 'mount' errors out to the guy that's cooking the ROM and he should fix them.

As far as the symlinking goes I'll have to think whether I would want to add support for it or not. What is the reason for symlinking the fonts? Does the HTC Evo have its NAND locked? If the NAND is unlocked then you can just use Font Changer from the Market, or OP, and it should work just fine.

And the old version of Font Changer isn't recommended by the way."

not sure what to do now...

Mr Vaelpak....

I noticed a few times that on RC1 if I dial *2 to reach Sprint my phone dialer (HTC) seems to freeze up and make me want to reboot the phone.

When I use the AOSP dialer its fine.

Could it be that the *2 attempt makes phone act up because the Sprint Zone is not installed?? Normally when *2 is dialed the phone launches Sprint Zone.

Also, when performing multiple recipients sms, I get a notification that basically the sms app is backed up. I.don't recall ever getting that message on stock Rom.

Also, I like the AOSP animated email notification. It's cool. Any way to get a Black themed HTC dialer? I mean the green Android is fine, and of course its Android's signature color, but the blue coloring is not exactly matching the "darkness" of the Rom.

Any way to access /system/media/audio/ringtones? I tried with Astro, and ES but to no avail. I want to import a ringtone from my previous Rom. I can save it via the normal way to make file a ringtone, but I want it apart of system.

Thanks.
[EVO 4G Android Development] vaelek:
Very possible.. Looking into this.

Can you provide the exact message you get or a screen shot? I've never seen/heard of this before.

[EVO 4G Android Development] vaelek:
Titanium is kind of sucking with each update they've put out lately.. Doesn't seem to work nearly as well as it used to. You should have luck if you first go to VP Settings > Device Settings > Remount system, then do a normal uninstall via Titanium.

EDIT: #2, Some people want the Blockbuster app and leaving these in makes it as painless as possible for them to use it. The resource/battery impact they have just by sitting there is negligible if not zero.
