Develop Bugs

[Q] Need help with a specific rom

Sorry for bothering you people as im not an expert here. I have an htc evo and was wondering what is the best or a good rom that still has 4g and has the latest android version cause i only have 2.2. And before putting the rom on the phone what should i do? thanks for your help?

there are many in the dev section that fit your req's. I have personally used both myn's and calk's and enjoyed them both.
As for the procedure, basically make sure you do a nand backup first and foremost. After that, wipe appropriately, meaning: system, data, and cache (both regular cache and dalvik)
Oh, and 2.2 is the best your gonna get if you want working wimax, until they integrate it into cyanogenmod.

I think all the Sense Roms have working 4g. Myns and MikFroyo are very good Roms. As far as gingerbread goes, I don't think there is a 2.3 Rom with working 4g. Before flashing a Rom, do a nandroid back up.

How would i do a nandroid back up and where would i get mikfroyo from

MikFroyo is in the development section, depending on if you are using Amon's recovery or clockwork the process for doing a nandroid back up is basically the same. Just boot into recovery, choose back up/ restore then back up. There is an HTC-evo channel on IRC on freenode.

I personally also use Calk's format all before flashing any new ROMs as well. You can find that zip in the development forum under the EViO 2 ROM.

uhhhhhhh pretty sure CM7 + WiMax has working 4G? It's only been available for like a month now and all...
least I would assume since, ya know, i am getting like 7 down on Gingerbread...maybe I just get super amazing 3G...hell what do I know? Maybe that little 4G symbol when I turn WiMax on is fake...

[Q]Slow data on AOSP Rom's

Ok, So I recently decided to test out an AOSP Rom, CM7 to be specific, and I can say that I love it. BUT, there is one problem, my data speeds. For some reason, from my room, with a sense rom my 3g data is about 170-230 kb/s download, but when running either CM7 or Evo-deck, my speed is about 70-100 kb/s.
Baseband v. 2.15.00.05.02
PRI 1.77_003
PRL 60679
Anyone know why the AOSP rom would be so much slower, or what I can do to fix it?

If you go into settings and update your profile and prl that fixes it.
If I've helped you hit the thanks!

You have to flash to a sense based ROM, then nandroid back. Make sure that you update profile after everything else

Ok, so I did that, and now I get 300-400kb/s on sense, and 150-200kb/s on AOSP...

[Q] EL30/EI22 compatibility questions

Just to clarify, you can not flash an EI22 MTD ROM if you are on EL30, correct? Will the main MTD ROMs (CM7, MIUI, etc.) become available soon? Thanks in advance

As long as the rom includes a kernel I can't see what the problem would be.
I used to flash froyo and gb roms right over each other with little trouble. Though I could never restore data from the nand after doing it -had to restore apps from TB.
But I could be totally wrong. So don't take my word for it.

CM7 and MIUI are already beyond EL30. They are Android 2.3.7. You can flash an EI22 MTD ROM just fine as long as you have rooted your EL30. You will maintain your EL30 modem if you do.

4g issues on all roms

I recently got a stock FH13 phone off a friend and I have it rooted. However once I rooted I found my 4g barely works on any from (10k/s). Running AOSP jb and flashed FI03 because i heard it would help but didnt. I'm coming off a ns4g where I can flash away and not worry. I tried searching here and on Google with nothing coming up. Any solutions? Thanks in advance

If you are currently on aosp jb follow the instructions in the video and update profile and prl. If you get decent 4g in your area then you will get decent 4g on any rom that has 4g working.

Are you referring to FI03 modem? That will not help, this is sounds like the "ics 4g bug" that some people get (me included), there's no fix yet for aosp. You'll need to go to a FI03 based rom, or gingerbread.

What rom are you running? Do they include the radios or I dont have to do anything since I already have that modem flashed? I looked and I couldnt find any AOSP FI03 roms. All that are FI03 are touchwiz (blahhh)

I ended up going back to Calkulin's GB rom:

Modems are separate, and since you have FI03 modem already, you can leave that alone.
I also have Overstew's ICS theme:

Search the forum for "wimax threshold" you'll see a few threads talking about the issue. The settings were changed in FI03 rom. If you want ICS, try the stock rooted here:

Think I can restore back to that then go back to CM9 and the fix will stick? I read that some people had that work out. My phone is a refurb so maybe thats why its being so stubborn

Nah, once you switch to CM9 you'll lose the fix. The fix is part of the FI03 rom and maybe kernel. Just try out the rom, update profile and prl. If you still get bad 4G speed then it could be the area you're in or the phone itself.

Thanks a lot. I almost bricked it (odin stopped mid process because im on WIN8) but managed to recover. My 4g speeds picked up but are nowhere near my EVO 4g. It is usable now though so thanks a lot and I will experiment some more later :laugh:

[Q] NS4G modems - it it worth upgrading from EL30?

Hi and thanks upfront for your feedback!
I've been dabbling with all the goodness on this forum and couldn't be happier with my Epic 4G. Currently running the latest CM10.1, and just last week took the plunge and upgraded to the EL30 modem, which has been a big improvement over the stock FC09 one. I can talk in my kitchen now without having to go outside!
I've read a lot of posts concerning the NS4G modem, and everything seems to be positive. So, here are my questions:
Is it worth upgrading to?
How's the battery life?
Are there any real issues, other than the documented stuff in the dev forums?
Thanks again upfront for any and all replies.

I have been happy with it because I noticed my time without service dropped significantly which I thought was a good test for me.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda app-developers app

I switch back and forth a few times and I can say battery life really isn't different between the two but my signal and data speeds are much better then the epic modem
Sent from my PACMANED Epic 4g using xda premium

Okay, so I took the plunge. I flashed the latest patch zip for CM10.1, and when I booted - NO SERVICE! For some reason, the flash didn't work right, so I Odined the KL2 modem bin, reinstalled the patch, and it's working.
So far, so good - I like the extra goodies from the patch, including the new kernel, and especially the Touch (TWM) recovery. It's pretty slick. Can't wait to see how much better it works around San Diego tomorrow.

That was the best part! Before I had to boot and run the original ROM from Sprint off the SD card to update the PRL - now, it's a menu option, like a "real" (well, stock, anyways) phone!

Normally, running just CM, no modified kernels or a different modem, this is correct. However, the option should be there with the patch to use the ns4g modem.

That depends. The sprint nexus devices have an option in their overlay to have sprint prl and profile updates in. I simply copied that and built. Most cm devices don't have it in but since the nexus obviously has stock aosp it came with that function in the source so it is there. Could probably do that on standard modem too if someone added it.

I'm on CM10.1, but am using the NS4G modem, which requires the nitest kernel and patch found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1842037. That must be where the options came from. It also added TWRP recovery, and I'm very happy with it.

Thank you Jeffrey, Flast, Xbox, and Mark for the responses. So if I understand correctly I should have the option to update PRL because of the NS4G patch but for some reason I don't. Is it maybe because Mark is on the KL2 modem and I'm on the LF2 modem? I remember reading somewhere that the KL2 modem is from an unofficial leak and the LF2 is from OTA. If someone could shed a little more light on this I'd greatly appreciate it.

Yeah. I added that in the settings.

I think I may have found the problem. I flashed this patch from Nashdogg with the 12-31 Nitest kernel http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1842037&page=140 which isn't your patch from the OP. I'm still not sure why Mark has the option to update PRL under settings though unless it was put in the newer patch made by Nashdogg and that's what he flashed.
Edit: Posted the wrong URL and had to update, my apologies

Some of Nash's newer updates don't have PRL and Profile updating in. I think he said he was going to add it, but I will check with him. I haven't made the patches for awhile, since I don't have the phone anymore.
