Is anyone having problem with 4G!?! It goes in and out on me, and i'll do the speed and get sub par speeds, and then out of nowhere it gives me 0 ul and dl!
[EVO 4G Android Development] carhauler1969:
Flashed this last night, so far it's pretty amazing! I tried the vanilla CM7-RC2 & had nothing but trouble with it, lots of FC's, etc.

So far the only issue I've had was with the included version of Titanium Backup 3.7.2, it would FC trying to perform any task (known issue w/ that version), & update would fail every time I tried. Fortunately, I'd created a flashable .zip of v3.7.4 on my SD card, & flashing it fixed my problem 100%.

I'm very new to AOSP roms, this is only my 2nd.

Quick question, can I change, i.e. lower the screen density with this rom?

Great job Magnus!!! Destroyer is my new AOSP backup!!! :-D
[EVO 4G Android Development] Papa Smurf151:
That's not a fix its a workaround. I prefer the stock theme not any of the themes that are in the theme Chooser. So its a problem with the stock themed rom. I can choose to use urban them or which ever theme I want but then again if I wanted to use those themes I might as well have stayed on cm7 and loaded those themes onto that rom.

I know mag is working on fixes and I refuse to use another rom cause the stock rom kicks ass. But don't tell me its a fix cause its not.
[EVO 4G Android Development] 00_MACKIE_00:
I believe the fix your looking for is in the first or 2nd post. "FIX FOR BLACK ON BLACK TEXT BOXES

1.RECOVERY REBOOT

2.WIPE DALVIC CACHE

3.FLASH THIS

4.REBOOT

5.GTG ^_^

Hurt

I really want to keep this rom but im having issues with:

1. 3g turns into 1x

2. black text on black text box.

3. GPS doesnt work.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Papa Smurf151:
No need for explination on how to flash things...thanks though. Also that doesn't fix about 70 percent of black on black text. A little research and looking at what people are talking about on stock destroyer rom would show u what others r talking about. But as I've learned in the past people don't read or investigate before they speak.
[EVO 4G Android Development] 00mred00:
Lots of potential but the black on black text and choppy transitions killed it for me.
[EVO 4G Android Development] :
Rom was running great til I rebooted now I get repeated fc of com.android.phone and had to go back to miui. Any ideas on fixing that so I can keep the rom?

Voicemail and Bluetooth

I'm still trying to resolve my issue of Sprint VVM not working over Bluetooth. The same ear piece worked on Stock and Sense ROM's, but its not currently working with this ROM. I have tried using Google Voice for my voice mail (which I actually really like), but I still can't listen to vm's on my Bluetooth.

I've read that Google Voice may have issues with Bluetooth (as Sense did prior to an update last year), so I'm not sure if this is an issue with AOSP ROM's in general or if something is going on with my setup.

Does anyone have any feedback?

Thanks.

Final Thoughts

I have been using your ROM for a couple days now. I wanted to give you my thoughts, so you can use them for updates and what not. First, this is by far the most stable and responsive CM7 Rom available. I am a huge fan of your themes as well. As far as straight out of the box, there are some things that could be worked out. The nav and black on black text has been discussed, so I'll leave that alone. I was able to fix both, so I am not sure what all the *****ing is about. The transitions between screens is laggy. The kernel you are using is awful for the battery. It isn't worse than stock or worse than other roms, but I switched to the SavagedZen bfs havs kernel and did the battery pullout 10 times trick and wiped my batt stats and I was perfect.

I will say this. I unplugged my charger and gave my phone moderate use (5-6 calls, market, internet streaming) and I still at this moment have a 75% charge and I took it off of the charger at 4 A.M. last night. This should give you some idea of what YOU COULD ACHIEVE with this ROM. SO, once again, kudos to you. Keep up the good work. I will be watching for an update. YOU ROCK DUDE!!

EDIT: I almost forgot. I never got data speeds like I do with this ROM. I am use to low speeds in my apt. With this, I was getting 1.12 Mb/s downloads and uploads.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jtadeo:
such a cool ROM, but no 720p recording is a deal breaker for me.. will come back when that's available.

keep up the good work bud
[EVO 4G Android Development] kileak:
Very nice work. A few bugs out of the box, but flashed all updates/fixes and the only issue I still have is that I cannot download files from the stock browser. D/L works fine in Opera though so no worries.

GPS was an issue but works fine now. (if it doesn't work restart it I guess haha)

Love the skinning and the speed is incredible!

Keep it up man appreciate the work!

[EVO 4G Android Development] jstalford:
http://greenfieldroid.wordpress.com/2010/12/27/battery-tips-for-longer-battery-life/

I think he's talking about tip #4.

There's a thread with links to the savaged-zen kernel. Should be in the first the pages of the dev forum.
[EVO 4G Android Development] pimp100500:
what version of SavagedZen bfs havs kernel r u using???
[EVO 4G Android Development] WhatThe2:
I believe that's the one as well. I tried this on MikFroyo and it put me into a boot loop, and the only way I could get out of it was to re-flash the kernel (Netarchy at the time). So, I think it definitely does something, and I've seen multiple people say that it helps. I'll give it a go again.
[EVO 4G Android Development] therealmkl:
Thanks for the heads up...

Which theme did you switch to?
[EVO 4G Android Development] stargaterules:
I also had the same problem. Initially it would not flash from CM7, then finally wiped everything and then it worked. It was great for a few days until I rebooted. Since then I had everything you can imagine FC. Not sure what the problem with FCing was. It's like theming by Magnus messed up the framework or something. This sucks because I really like this ROM, but just seems too buggy at this point.
[EVO 4G Android Development] coiledwire:
This routine has worked for me. Its at the bottom of the OP. To me, it makes more sense than this 10x battery-pull supposedly given out by HTC. Check it out and let me know what you think.

From what I've read, SavagedZen is the kernel to use with this ROM. I'm currently on 1.2 Cfs havs wimax gb. I just loaded it a few hours ago. I've seen others with different SavagedZen kernels also having great results.
[EVO 4G Android Development] WhatThe2:
Thanks, I'm going to give this a try.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Tannerj:
WOW.... I now see how proud you are of this ROM. All I was doing was bringing up what I thought might be a problem or (as I stated) it might have been me doing something wrong. I will admit that, if I would have read all the way down to the bottom of post # 3 I would have seen your fix (had trouble even DL the ROM with the re-direct to another forum). I appologize for my incompetence when it comes to reading, however for someone to make comments like you did you better be able to back it up. It is pretty sad when you are replying to me and someone else sees the same thing that I saw. How does that pride taste? And he provided screen shots (a few posts later)... I would have done the same if you had just asked.... but he beat me to it..

Also this was the first ROM that I have used with out SENSE so I was commenting on how I was missing SENSE because it is the only thing I have used on android. I am willing to try almost anything once. So your little comment about I only want SENSE on my phone is wrong... I am just trying to see how to do things now without Sense, that is all....

I know you could really care less whether I use your ROM or not. You were very clear with your comments. I wish you the best with your ROM and hope everyone with an EVO's use your ROM... You have done a great job on this ROM... but I learned my lesson about commenting on any errors that might come from your ROM... I will just assume it is always my fault if I decide to try your ROM again... You are to proud of your ROM to take any suggestion or comments about this ROM...

Good luck and I appologize for ever posting in your thread (won't happen again)...tannerj

[EVO 4G Android Development] adrian2pm:
that works even though this is GB rom?
[EVO 4G Android Development] coiledwire:
I don't know about that kernel; destroyer runs on GB. I'd go with the GB version.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Papa Smurf151:
Use the gb version. Froyo will mist likely cause a boot loop
[EVO 4G Android Development] adrian2pm:
he said hes using the FROYO version...i aint gonna mess with mine tho..im running stock and it lasts enough
[EVO 4G Android Development] WhatThe2:
With all due respect, I think you're being way too sensitive. I'm a complete noob as well (assuming you are since this is your first ROM without Sense). I just rooted my phone a few weeks ago, and this is my first non-sense ROM. I've learned, rather quickly, that there can be issues with ROM's (I'm still experiencing a couple that I'm working through on this ROM), but I'm posting issues and working through them the best I can. Not everyone's phone works the same - some people have many issues, while others have none. That's just the way it goes.

I'm not a developer, but I know that a lot of work goes into putting these ROM's out. I'm sure that as a developer, it's not great to hear that something isn't working correctly, and it's natural to get defensive about your work, but in the end they want to know that everything is working correctly, and truly want the ROM to work as it should. I can see how someone would take offense to your comments (as you mentioned, you could have seen the post earlier that mentioned the problem).

I'm not on either side here, and I see your point as well at the OP's. My point is that the developer has taken suggestions and criticism (maybe not how everyone likes), and those that are valid, has genuinely agreed to address (such as the text issue in the Market and MMS).

If you are going to try something briefly, and then bail once something doesn't go your way and make those comments, you can't be too upset with the OP's response.

As you noted, those of us that were providing screen shots about a problem weren't immediately bailing on a ROM that was provided for free and, in my opinion,weren't insulting someone for their work, as your post mildly implied since you wanted to go back to a Sense ROM. Why try it in the first place if you don't want to venture to other territory????

Not meant to be a mean post, just don't be so sensitive.

Here is a scenario. Say I have a nand backup of both a sense ROM and destroyer. Now I flash back to sense and apply the gps fix and HTTP PD fix.

When I want to go back to destroyer, do I just flash the backup or do I wipe certain locations first?

I assume I can wipe cache and dalvik without issue. But some clarification on the other locations would be helpful. Thanks.
[EVO 4G Android Development] craigbailey1986:
Don't wipe anything jus do a nand restore...
[EVO 4G Android Development] carhauler1969:
I thought you had to run the GB kernel with this ROM? I'm running the same kernel, but the GB+ version, on SavagedZen governor, with one screen off profile 245/384 Powersave in SetCPU.

What are you using for governor settings?

Are you just using CM settings, or in conjunction with SetCPU? Profiles?
[EVO 4G Android Development] carhauler1969:
Really, really?

I too was wondering about this. This is only the 2nd aosp rom I've flashed, & OMFG I love this rom! But @ the same time I love my VaelPak(non-sense)too, so I'd like to be able to flash between the two, but I don't need any weird stuff going on.

I have to say Magnus really did his homework on this beast, stability is on par with my Vaelpak setup, which to date is the most stable rom I've used.
[EVO 4G Android Development] craigbailey1986:

[EVO 4G Android Development] craigbailey1986:
If you are using the fixes then done wipe, when you are leaving the aosp ROM to go to a sense ROM then wipe everything. Preferably caulks format all zip

[EVO 4G Android Development] craigbailey1986:
I was referring to coldwire about the GPS and other fixes... that is how I personally do it without any problems but if one does arrive just wipe with caulks zip and it should fix any problem with a fresh install..

This was just to clarify what I had said..

[EVO 4G Android Development] jstalford:
I always do a full wipe before restoring, just in case some of the system files get messed up, but unless you do the cache with your backups, at least wipe those before restoring.

[EVO 4G Android Development] jimmyjohnson:
mquinn, its nice to see another gamecock on the evo forums...

here's a question for yall. i flashed Destroyer and its great, but having been on a sense rom before, its difficult not having my contacts or old messages sent, as some are important.

when flashing a new sense based rom, i had no problem going into clockwork and doing an advanced recovery of my data only, which restored all my contacts and messages along with some other **** i would have left out, such as applications and data.

when i tried to do this with Destroyer, i got a bootloop. i have a feeling this is due to the clashing of sense and aosp, but honestly i dont know ****, and if someone knows the correct answer, thatd be great.

either way, it doesnt work, and so i need a new way to get my data (contacts and messages) from my old rom into destroyer.

your help is much appreciated, thanks in advance.
