Dude, I.found the SetCPU free apk on XDA, and ran it for Performance at 1.190400ghz and my quadrant score jumped to a whopping 1470!!!!!!! The top of the list CRUSHING the list of phones!!!

The included Netarchy kernel that comes with it is not bad at all. You battery whinners: get a 3500mah battery! LOL I can overclock to 1.27, 1.25 but in a minute the phone freezes. So it seems that 1.19ghz is the sweet spot for my Evo.

Have you guys seen the new Evo 3D ???? Dual core 1.20ghz CPU.....more memory, 3D screen......nice.
[EVO 4G Android Development] emcp422:
dont know if its still useful for you but, i flashed VP3.2 with its stock kernel and got the same wimax issue as you do, i gave it to a friend of mine who works for motorola and is really good with androids and after messing with it for a little he told me that what i needed to do was turn the mobile connection off, reboot normally and then turn the mobile connection back on and that solved my problem, but i have to do it every time i boot, he says its the fact that when my phone boots it immediately turns 4g on and then once the phone is up and running i turn it off, after doing that i see the wimax log going on and on and on, but after doing his method of turning mobile connections off before i reboot, my problem with that was gone, now he didnt exactly found the source for the problem but it worked for my phone
[EVO 4G Android Development] vaelek:
The "error" in the log is nothing more than an annoyance. It is a glitch introduced into HTC's firmware a few versions back that they still haven't corrected. I'm going to have a look at that one soon and see if I can't fix it for them ;) It should be relatively easy.

I did a test of it, and my results are posted on the sprint forum, but basically as I said, it is an annoyance... It does not affect battery at all, and it happens anytime 4G is turned on and then off. The notification toggles use the same functions as the Power Control widget, which is known to be a cause for 4G turning on at boot. Removing the 4G toggle from the list seems to resolve that issue if it's a big deal for you.

Wow, I have been on CM so long that I don't notice RoMs like this one anymore. This looks like a completely badass rom with a lot of features.

I'm gonna have to check this one out.. but I'm so behind on the non-aosp roms that I will be lost =p

I'll have to do some research on sense kernels and things of that nature first. I just wanted to chime in and compliment the dev on his work.
[EVO 4G Android Development] emcp422:
thanks for the reply, no its not an issue for me, i just saw the post when i was going thru the thread before i installed Vp to make sure i had no dumb questions that had already been answered and i thought i'd share my info.

great rom by the way i tried few others before, i am so impressed with this one, no joke today i went to work and after 6 hours in there without using it, when i checked it after work i still had 96% battery, it blew my mind
[EVO 4G Android Development] akarol:
So I've been in search for a new ROM to try out and Vaelpak seems to keep popping up a lot. I have been using Fresh since I got my EVO on launch day until I got this new replacement about a month ago where I have only been using Myn's 2.2. I've really been enjoying the aesthetics of this ROM, but the battery life is nowhere near where Fresh was. I don't know if it's the new phone itself or the ROM. Before just going back to Fresh, I figured I'd venture into the Non-Sense world a bit and try a new ROM out.

I'm really split between giving VP or CM7 a try. I do like the customizability of VP, but CM7 has appealing features such as cloud music syncing which I feel I'd use often. I did watch an YouTube video comparing VP/CM6/CM7's HDMI mirroring and it seems that VP has the edge due to also transporting the audio to the TV where CM6 and CM7 relied on audio playing back from the device only. Is this really true?

Basically, I'm hoping to have some questions answered if you all don't mind:

1. How well does this ROM perform in the battery life dept? I loved Fresh and am not too pleased with Myn's in this department.

2. Will the HC cloud music sync feature work with this ROM or just CM7?

3. Is it true that full HDMI is better in VP than CM ROMs as no audio is transported to the TV in CM ROMs and it is in VP?

4. I know that this ROM is Non-Sense and CM is AOSP, but what are some key (dis)advantages between them?

5. What launcher do you recommend using with this ROM in terms of performance and battery life?

6. If using other launchers, do we still have the HTC dialer/people app? I feel it's the only thing that makes Sense worthwhile.

7. I know there are similar weather widgets to Sense's out there, but do they have the built-in alarm/stopwatch/world clock/forecast features? What about full-screen animations (not too important but it's neat)?

Thanks in advance guys...
[EVO 4G Android Development] shad0w77:
My two cents....

Battery life is great bone stock

No cloud music sync

Yes, full hdmi

Non-sense fully works and is stable. You get the option of using done if the htc apps as well. This rom performs better then other sense roms because so much of the stuff we never use is stripped out.

Dialer and people apps from sense are in the rom

don't know of any widgets that have the timer and stopwatch. There are widgets with alarms and full screen weather. I think one is weather and toggle widget and fancy widgets.... Could be wrong on those though...

Just fyi... I tried fresh, azrael, mik, and ava sense roms but found a nice little happy place with this gem of a rom ;)

Just tried no frills cpu control from the market. Works great. I can finally overclock without getting random reboots with a custom kernel. Set cpu always gave me problems...
[EVO 4G Android Development] igotroot:
How is that 4.3.4 Netarchy beta kernel working out?

What issues with set CPU did u have. So far I have none except not being able to have a steady frequency above 1.190400ghz but I still get 1470 quadrant score.
[EVO 4G Android Development] shad0w77:
awesome kernel. I had random reboots with set cpu over the course if a day. Usually happened when having gps and wifi on and doing a bunch if stuff st the same time.
[EVO 4G Android Development] RaphB:
Lock messaging Slider - Resolved - Contact - Thank you for the clear explanation

Shared Keyboard - It works. I did not realize it would link to a website - was more expecting a local connextion through USB or WiFi!

SetCPU - Found it - Thank you for the prompt and clear explanation

Dialer - I do not like either!!! but to be reasonable, I prefer the HTC - just wish the skin was the original white and grey. The Black and Blue combination does not work too much for me as the digits are hard to read.

Battery Life - I have not been able to resolve that issue so far - I tried diverse versions of the kernel so far and I do not get any acceptable result so far. My worse was with the default kernel and teh updated Wimax and radio (1 Hour to complete discharge!). I am concerned about the fact that I cannot charge anymore the phone in the car. I have looked at your site and I have not found one consistent result as the results seem to differ from one phone to another one. I guess I will still have to look and test the different kernels. One thing I have noticed however looking at the activity log of the phone (under Juice Defender) is a recurring line stating "AutoSync forced"...

Thank you for the prompt answers though!!!
[EVO 4G Android Development] dougdascenzo:
In regard to the dialer, I might recommend you try either Dialer One or Go Dialer. I used to use Dialer One, but as of last week, switched to Go Dialer (loving this one). They both offer really nice T9 searches on both name and phone number and quick access to contacts and call logs. Dialer One lets you swipe left and right to move between the different screens, which is nice, but Go Dialer has quick access buttons at the bottom of the screen which is just as easy to use.

I just flashed this latest version of VaelPak and so far I am extremely impressed with the additional settings added into this ROM. Really gives the impression a lot of effort went into this. Running well so far with Netarchy's latest beta kernel. Job well done Vaelek, this thing is polished.
[EVO 4G Android Development] igotroot:
So how would u compare 4.3.1 that is in vaelpak to it? What are pros and.cons to me.switching to it?

Transition Effects and Theme Builder

Vaelek, 2 questions:

1. Do you have a video to show the different transition effect?

Currently, there no way to see this without flashing one at a time and could be difficult to remember how all previous flashed transition looked like for comparison.

2. Does the Theme Builder have the capability to build more than one add-on theme at a time?

For example, let's say you wanted to add the new speedo battery icon (cool btw), this will build the theme right away but you will still need to flash in recovery for the theme to take affect but before doing so decided to add the honeycomb wifi icon and/or a transition effect as well. Now, will this work to produce all the add-ons with just one recovery flash?

Thanks!

is there a way to remove the ASOP browser and go back to HTC browser. I miss being able to see full webpages when a mobile site is available. My banks mobile site is worthless and I need the full version and the only browser that does not reroute to the mobile site is Skyfire and I cant stand that browser. It is slow and bulky. I would really like the simple stock HTC browser back.
[EVO 4G Android Development] igotroot:
I feel u on that! I go to quite a few sites, such as my bank and it forces me to the mobile version, which sucks. Also, anyone try WWW.speedtest.net ? I uses to be able to go there, now my browser takes me to the Android Market for the speedtest.net app.
[EVO 4G Android Development] cmdaily:
Found it! The VaelPak settings app just got updated and you can download the stock HTC browser from the Mods/applications menu. I am downloading it now and will edit back if it works. This was not available when I was trying to get this to work earlier this week.

EDIT:

Works like a charm!!!! This ROM is now PERFECT! Love it!

2. I don't have the ability to stack themes yet. For right now, you have to build/flash one at a time. If you build one, then build another without flashing it first, it will contain only the last one you built.

You found it :)

If you reboot and find that the stock browser is back again, see this post - http://vaelek.com/index.php?/topic/5-vaelpak-faq-look-here-first/
[EVO 4G Android Development] k2buckley:
Hey guys. I absolutely love this rom, but there has been one irritating issue that I can't get rid of. I don't think its a common issue, because I was unable to turn up any info when I searched. Basically, the problem is that my 3g connection 'freezes' or locks. The 3g symbol will still be there in the notification bar, but it will either be greyed out, or have the upload arrow lit up, stuck. When this happens (at least every 10 mins) , nothing that requires internet works. Xda app just says "no route to host", or "the operation timed out". Speedtest app wont download anything, shows 0kb for up and down. No web pages, nothing. The only way I can (temporarily) fix it is to shut off mobile data, then turn it back on. Either that, or use my 4g, and connection is fine.

What I've tried thus far : upgraded radios/pri (I was on the older pri and radio) . Installed ad free and hit revert, I now have full adds. Rebooted. Battery pull. Updated profile and prl. Applied 3g speed tweak. Disabled 3g speed tweak. Changed kernels, tried a couple of my favorite netarchy kernels, stock #15, and an older Ziggy kernel. I can't reproduce this on any other roms (in same location) and would love to solve this problem. If I an get this fixed, this rom will be perfect, and have no issues whatsoever. Anyone seen this before, or have any further suggestions? Something I'm missing? And of course I did a complete wipe before I flashed the rom a week ago or so. This is driving me nuts, I'm about to just wipe again and reflash the rom, but would prefer not to, if any of you can help.with a solution. Thanks in advance.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mattlport:
All my hands in the air for vaelpak,,, Everyone should try this rom if you have the flashaholic syndrome. Thank you.

[EVO 4G Android Development] lawsonmh15:
Why??? You've developed hands down the best sense-based rom around and a huge part of the reason is because of how smooth it is with the theme. If anything, I would like to see more custom element options. I know I'm just one of tens or hundreds of thousands of xda members, but I've also run just about every evolution rom around and know this is far and away the best sense-based rom available. Thanks for the hard work and a donation is coming your way. Thanks again Jim, you truly are a one-man wrecking crew.
[EVO 4G Android Development] lawsonmh15:
You can build your own themes inside the rom. Its the theme builder inside vaelpak settings.
[EVO 4G Android Development] vaelek:
Some people like the stock look.. I aim to please ;)

By default it will continue to come themed, but I do want the option for the folks that want the rom, but not the theme. Mainly because things are so heavily customized that the only themes that can be used without breaking something are ones I supply. I am always looking for new ways to customize so stay tuned :D

Edit: if the vaelpak forums app does not link to the market please install it from there to ensure you don't miss out on updates! It didn't link for me...

[EVO 4G Android Development] :
USB host as in connecting usb devices (KB, mouse, flashdrive) to the phone. The entire Snapdragon family has a usb host controller built in and is usually triggered by grounding pin 5 however this only triggers "Dock Mode" in the Evo. It's all software implementation as the hardware already supports it.

It may not be unique to mine, but it can't just be dropped into any rom without some tweaking.

Thanks in advance...
[EVO 4G Android Development] vaelek:
I've never heard of anything like that happening :confused: :confused:

You're welcome record a log and send it to me, I'll take a look and see if anything jumps out, but unfortunately my suggestion would be to do just what you don't want to which is try a wipe and re-flash.

Not the first I've heard about this.... I've got a flobbity-jillion and 2 theming requests on my plate right now but I will add this one to the list as well.. Do you want stock, or do you just want the buttons to be more pronounced for the text/numbers?
[EVO 4G Android Development] MDtouchDiamond:
I'm loving this rom so far! I love how custimizable it is, and that you can build your own theme. I do have a question about the theme builder, I was able to flash the battery, and phone signal bars to what I wanted, but was not able to flash a different wifi icon other than the word wifi that comes with it. any suggestions as to why this one part of theme won't flash?
[EVO 4G Android Development] kiwiBeans:
I am actually experiencing the same thing - I tried to flash build and flash the theme / icon three times but still end up with the blue icon with the word "Wifi". If it makes any difference I was going for the "Regular Wifi Signal" type. You just happened to post before I had a chance to come in and report my experience. ... that makes YOU the bearer of bad news :p

[EVO 4G Android Development] MDtouchDiamond:
haha kiwi but you verified that bad news making it truely bad news:D

Edit: and I was trying to flash the vp 3.0 wifi signal
[EVO 4G Android Development] vaelek:
For anyone having problems flashing the themes.. Are you both using CW 3.x? I've been noticing that it is having some issues with the auto-flash. Flashing it manually from recovery seems to work, have you by chance been doing it from Rom Manager? Also, have you tried deleting the Mytheme.zip prior to rebuilding? I've seen a few rare cases where this has been necessary.

If none of the above applies, please attach the mytheme.zip that it builds and I will see if I can figure out what might be going on here.
[EVO 4G Android Development] MDtouchDiamond:
cool thanks, deleting the mytheme.zip and trying again
[EVO 4G Android Development] MDtouchDiamond:
so I am flashing from recovery, and I deleted the themezip before trying to flash wifi icon again, still no dice. Here's the zip it created

Edit: I switched to amon RA recovery in rom manager, then flashed again ferom recovery and still didn't work. This is like the only issue I see lol and its such a tiny one.
[EVO 4G Android Development] vaelek:
I see the problem. It is in the mod itself. Try it again. I uploaded a new version.
[EVO 4G Android Development] akarol:
Vaelek: Any estimation as to when the final release of 3.2 will be out? I'm reluctant to switching from Myn's until a stable version is out already. I'm also anxious at the same time and waiting has been more and more difficult. :P
[EVO 4G Android Development] vaelek:
3.2 is very stable and has over 5000 downloads with only the to-be-expected unique cases of bigger problems. The changes made when I actually remove RC from the post will be very minor, and will be able to be applied right from VPS without re-flashing a new rom zip. The RC is mostly just a formality. I will likely call it final this weekend.
[EVO 4G Android Development] MDtouchDiamond:
Thanks vaelek! That worked
[EVO 4G Android Development] igotroot:
My Evo.just gave me a low memory notification......wow. I never thought id see that!

EDIT.... it was a glitch I suppose . I looked into my TB and it said I had 220mb free. So I rebooted and that notification went away.

Then my yahoo accounts via their apk showed 1/3 of my accounts....and it asked for password for my 1/3 remaining. So I just restores the apk and data from TB and all is good for now.
[EVO 4G Android Development] RaphB:
I was looking at the MIUI as my next ROM as I wanted something different but could not resolve myself to loosing my 4G. The VaelPack was the perfect solution.

The ROM is extremely stable, as it is now and does not really need anything else. I have tested it extensively. It is good to note that Vaelek has an update process built-in the ROM allowing for theme related and new applications to be added on the fly as he is updating the release - no need to flash the ROM but only the update or the new application added - Kuddo for that... The only problem I encountered was the choice of default Kernel (nothing to do with the ROM itself) which did not work for my phone (it worked with most others apparently but a few of us had issues with it)... Again Vaelek was nice enough to allow for the ROM update process to propose other kernels tested with the ROM (as well as radios, PRI etc.)

Although the process is similar to the one you would use manually through recovery, here it is somewhat automated and simplified...

Note that the changes we are looking for for most of us are theme issues and additional minor features which are offered as automated updates (but optional) by Vaelek.

I was impressed by the quality of the ROM, by its originality and the fact that it is one of the most complete ROM I have tested to date... Although a Sense-based ROM, this ROM does not look or feel like any other standard Sense based ROM!!!

NOT ONLY VAELEK RESPONDS FAST TO ANY REQUEST WE MADE BUT PROPOSES US MATCHING UPDATES AS FAST TOO!
[EVO 4G Android Development] dougdascenzo:
I came from Myn's and have not had a hint of a problem. Just remember after flashing to update the Vaelpak settings app from the market. The one packaged with the ROM is out of date and I exerienced FC's with it. Upgraded to the latest version from the market and it was GTG. Otherwise this ROM has been rock solid for several days now.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Lrod0175:
Try miren browser, the new update is great, I am using it and it allows me to see pages that require internet explorer, some websites require IE, that might be your problem. Give it a try!
[EVO 4G Android Development] nextelfixer:
If you go into Settings => VaelPak Settings => Mods / Patches => Applications, you can scroll down to the HTC Browser and press to download it to your phone. Hope this helps.
[EVO 4G Android Development] vaelek:
Also see http://vaelek.com/index.php?/topic/5-vaelpak-faq-look-here-first/ for a tip on the Browser if it reverts after reboot or crashes after installing.

Along with that, with the AOSP browser, you can still accomplish this by going to "about:debug", it will appear to do nothing, but if you go to browser settings afterward, scroll down to UAString, you can switch between Android & Desktop
