This is my first thread here at xda
I don't know if this issue is already known or if it's just me with this problem. I have an HTC Evo and I've tried both Evervolv Roms for Android 2.3 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=878020 and 2.2 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=840285. Both Roms have problems with connecting with WiFi automatically, even when connecting manually, and require me to constantly turn the WiFi on and off to connect. Sometimes a reboot is needed on the 2.3 version because the WiFi gets stuck on "turning off". I'm wondering if there's a fix for this or if the developer of Evervolv will fix this in the future. I'm not able to comment on the developer's thread so this is my only way to get the problem out there. Also in the 2.3 version, the application launcher crashes often and requires a reboot each time to get anything to work. Flash Player doesn't seem to work at all (in fact only way i was able to install it was through Titanium-backup, as trying to install it from the market doesn't work) . I've also noticed random reboots on both versions 2.2 and 2.3. I really like the 2.3 Rom but the constant crashes of the app launcher forced me to switch to the 2.2 version and the WiFi problems persist on that as well. (if anyone asks why don't i just try another launcher, it's cause i like stock Android launchers the best )
Welcome!! The 2.3 rom is still beta so issues will be there. Are you using stock kernel? I've used cm roms and know you must change your wifi policy to never sleep. Not 100% sure if that's where your problem lies but its worth checking. Also the aosp roms IMO are still kinda iffy. Most seem very promising and some run very well but all still need alot of work. If it is becoming to big of an issue I'd nandroid backup, completely wipe and format and try a sense based rom, im trying Koni's ELITE and so far, im very impressed. Just a Thought.
I have Fresh ROM and while I don't mind it, the battery life sucks and I was really missing the customization that I had made in CM7. I've tried about 4 other AOSP ROMs hoping for some luck, but nothing worked.
I've done the GPSCLRX fix successfully, but as soon as I load an AOSP ROM neither wifi or GPS work.
I'm running an EVO with hardware 0004, latest PRI and PRL
I've tried running CM Nightly 23 (someone said it worked for them) and 30, Salvaged 1.0, some others briefly...
It's frustrating to see that most people solve this after the first GPSCLRX. I don't seem to be borking it up, but I'm not resolving the problem either.
Questions:
Could I be entering the wrong MSL? I used MSL Reader to pull the code.
Is there a better CM build or a different ROM I should try (sense rom or AOSP)?
Am I doomed to live in Sense ROM mediocrity and never truely be hardcore?
What are my next steps?
No, msl reader is pretty spot on. It works. Now, are you on fresh and still no gps? Being a sense rom, it should work just fine. Also, I read that you tried 4 aosp roms, how many sense roms have tried? I use myn warm two point two because off the customization options it offers, have you checked it out?
Have you tried CM6.1? I know it's not the latest thing, but I loved it. I didn't jump on the CM7 bandwagon until around the time nightly 21 came out because I was so happy with CM6. Unless you just have to have Gingerbread, I'd try it out. It's just as stable as Sense ROMs in my opinion.
Have you tried any of the Senseless Sense Roms?

List the step and I will tell you what's missing. The fix works completely, tho sometimes there is a small step most ppl skip.

Download GPS Status from the market, let it d/l the GPS Assist data and synch to you sats, then open maps and see if it pinpoints you.
This is what I always do, even on CM7 and maps and Navigation would work perfectly.
blakeboys: Fresh works perfectly, I also tried Elite II and that also worked very well. I like them both, but just not as much as CM.
plainjane: I haven't tried CM6.1, but I may download that tonight and give it a try, I don't believe that I *need* Gingerbread, so I might have better luck with that, thanks for the help!
craigbailey1986:
- Clockwork Recovery -> Wipe Data, Cache, then run Casxxxx_Format_ALL.zip, Flash FreshRom, Flash gapps, Reboot.
- Skip initial setup, Dialer, ##GPSCLRX#, Enter MSL, Forced Reboot.
- Maps, tap My Location, Select random location, Get Driving Directions (Navigation boots), wait for nav to start, exit nav, sit and wait for 5 to 10 minutes, Reboot to Recovery.
- Wipe Data, Cache, run Casxxxx_Format_All.zip, Flash CM23/30, Flash gapps, flash savage kernel, reboot.
- CM boots with GPS on, but no icon in notification bar and can't get location in Maps, same with wireless.
Let me know if I'm missing something, I could be overthinking this or not doing enough...it seemed straightforward though.
HipKat: I'll give that a try if CM6.1 still gives me the issue tonight.
Thanks for everyones help, hopefully one of these things will work.

After you do the Clear GPS thing let it boot the sense ROM and get ONE good lock with say Google Maps. Then switch back to CM7.
I thought letting it get a lock on the Sense ROM would mess it up but it was the opposite. It had to get one or it would not work.
I found WIFI works but was shakey.
Just a dumb question, what is considered a "lock". Like, hitting My Location and making sure it's within so many meters of accuracy, or leaving the app open long enough to send some data back and forth? Just want to make sure I'm not doing something wrong.
Just an update, finally got some time to work on my phone and the GPS Status tool seemed to have enabled the GPS and maps is working now. Thanks!

It should be just to verify your location.

OMG dude...thanks 4 this! It worked! Yes! Woo Hoo!!! ;-)
Hey all, I was about to try the clrgps thing, cuz about to flash aosp. But I was wondering, has anyone done the clrgps thing and had it totally jack their gps altogether (across roms, like)?
Thanks in advance.

Not working
When i type in ##4772579# the numbers just disappear as soon as I hit the last # symbol. I am running a sense rom. When I type that in I cant hit send or call because it disappears. Anyone run into this?
Another thing to try: flash a different kernel.
On my phone, GPS will not work if I run any SavageZen kernel (v2 and up). Never get the flashing GPS icon in the notification bar, nada. Even tried ##GPSCLRX# and used GPSStatus from the market.
However, GPS works fantastic when I run a Tiamat kernel. No idea why.
Also, after you flash to a sense ROM, get the GPS lock on Google Maps, make sure you leave the GPS on when flashing to recovery to restore Nandroid or flash a new AOSP ROM.

It's supposed to do that... or at least that's what happened when I did it. It should take you straight to the screen that asks for your msl, input it and you'll get a message saying that the phone will reboot in 10 seconds. After it reboots, get a lock in maps and leave GPS on. Then turn the phone off, boot to recovery and nandroid restore - or wipe and flash the new rom. This is how I did it and it worked perfectly.
What rom are you using to do the fix?
My Evo + xda Premium App = This post.
I have a problem with MIUI rom. Some days ago, my phone suddenly had FC, now, my phone run really slow and laggy... If I turn off the screen, my phone won't wake up, only four button in the bottom light up.
I wiped everything in CMW (system,data, and cache, also sd-card) but it doesn't work.
The fresh install had the same issues
I have this problem only with MIUI rom
any help
You probably need to provide more info on the issue. What version of MIUI are you running? Have you tried a fresh download of the ROM?

i have tried from 1.8.5 to 1.9.2.
it's very weird
this guy has the same problem with me, maybe he can explain better than me
http://forums.miui.us/showthread.php?3740-Display-won-t-wake-from-sleep
Hey guys, I flashed 1.819 yesterday and everything was going great. The ROM ran smoothly and I was having no issues at all. When I woke up the next morning my display would not turn back on. Every time I tried to turn on the display the soft lights would light up but the display remained unresponsive. The phone still seemed functional as I could hear e-mail and sms notifications coming through.
When I rebooted my phone it was abnormally slow.. mounting the sd card and syncing seemed like it was taking forever and the launcher was very jittery.. if I let my display time out it would not come back on and I'd be forced to pull the battery and try again.
I performed a full wipe through clockwork recovery (everything, including wiping system,data, and cache in 'mounts and usb') and reinstalled 1.819. The fresh install had the same issues.. if I let my display time out I wouldn't be able to turn it back on. I thought I was having some wonky hardware issue but after flashing my previous sense rom and everything is working perfectly.. so I'm pretty much scratching my head here. My phone was kickass for one day and became allergic to MIUI overnight!

Have you tried using a different kernal such as Tiamat or JD's Kernal?
May want to try that. I had good luck with Miui and Tiamat (ran it for a week)

Does this happen immediately after you flash? Or are you installing applications to get back to your preferred setup and then seeing the performance problems?
If it's the latter, I'd run the rom alone and see if it runs normally. Then install your applications individually until you encounter issues.

immediately after the flash. I don't install any other apps
since we are talking about MIUI issues. I am running the latest version of MIUI with the JDKernal.
The camera has color distortion lines when I take a picture. The picture comes out fine but when taking it the image shows the distortion. It did not do that before so I can only assume its something with the camera in the ROM.
Anyone else see this?

tenchu, your signature says you are not English or American. Are you running the MIUI.us ROM on your incredible 2 in English - and not another language?
.....just a thought.
Within 30-40 seconds after opening any application (including the android system ones that auto-load @ boot), they crash ; promting: "__ has stopped unexpectedly. please try again."
Recent changes:
installed avast! (recently uninstalled)
set up swift key X
any ideas/fixes?
on cm7 btw.
As a last resort, if nobody is able to come up with a specific fix for you, I would suggest reflashing the ROM or restoring to factory settings within the ROM. It can be a pain in the butt, but if nothing else works, it's like starting from scratch in the ROM. That tends to be what i do when i have problems that are widespread like that and it always fixes it for me.
Out of curiousity which build of CM7 are you using? I have the latest nightly (420) of 7.2 and it is the most stable and customizable DInc ROM I've tried.
EDIT: I am flashing CM 7.2 RC2 right now, I didn't realize it came out a few days ago. Until further notice though, I still would recommend the nightly just because I haven't really tried this yet, knowing CM though they wouldn't release an RC if it wasn't ready. Hopefully they will start work on CM9 for dinc soon if we cross our fingers.
of course >.<
i believe its a standard build of 7.0.2, i cant check though because settings crashes immediately
ugh.. now its bootlooping.
flashed to 7.2 RC2;
please lock.

Hi there,
I currently have the Jellybean - Jellytime 4.2.2 r11 rom (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1778202) on my DHD, after using it for a few weeks the phone crashed and when I turned it back on it got stuck on the Jellytime boot screen. Also, when plugging the phone into a computer/laptop via usb, I cannot mount the sd card for file transferring... (i did full wipe before flashing)
I am looking to install a fully stable ROM that is actually going to stop me from converting back to stock, I have tried a few in the past and still to this day not found a ROM that has no problems.
If you could recommend me a completely stable ROM I would really appreciate it, as I don't really have the time to install and test ROMs.. I do not mind what android version it runs, but I would prefer it to be ICS or Jellybean.
Again, thanks for the help!
I recommend blackouts Rom. 100% stable and everything works 100%.
