AOKP issues - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

First of all, I want to say that I absofreakinglutely love this ROM. I have FINALLY convinced my friends with Evos to root and give this thing a shot because of what this ROM is capable of.
I have two issues that maybe I can get some assistance with. I am running Milestone 4.
First, the GPS just doesn't work. I lose GPS signal instantly and it does not guide me. I have flashed GAPPS, this did not actually put Maps on my phone so I installed it from the market. Any assistance with this would make me pretty much shutup.
Second, there is a lag when I turn on the screen to when the screen actually turns on. I haven't officially timed it, but I would say it is a second, maybe slightly longer. I have turned off all animation. This problem isn't going on 100% of the time, but at least 50%.
Thank you for reading!

Welcome to the world of running Alpha ROMs.

So there isn't anything we can do about these things?

Look into an updated GPS radio. AOKP Build28 ran GPS fine on my handset, apart from GoogleMaps liking to drain battery in the background....I had flashed an updated GPS radio when on CM7.1 last year

[Q] Kernels that don't mess with gps on EVO

I tried the Tiamac kernel for my EVO but the gps signal kept going in and out. Im pretty sure it's due to power save, but I had to plugged into power. Is there a kernel out there that doesn't try to mess with things like gps that are needed while using maps? I can understand if I didn't have a navigation application open, but i can't have gps being turned on and off while trying to navigate in a busy city and especially when it's plugged into power.
Unless I am doing something wrong, please let me know. I had to revert back to a backup to get my gps working correctly. I am using deck's rc10 gingerbread aosp rom btw.
Thanks!
for some gingerbread and gps work fine...others cant get it to work properly. the gps fix and all that used to work for me, not lately. so im back to sense.
that's the thing, it works just fine with the rom itself, but when i tired adding the kernel, that's when things got screwy with gps going in and out. i would have to manually turn off gps, wait 5 sec and turn it back on via the notifications drop down menus. Maybe my phone doesn't like kernels at all, haha.
Try the gps fix, them flash back, then open maps first. Never had an issue on my old evo, or the brand new evo I just rooted. Never had to use the fix, but like they say, works fine for some, off for others. Make sure you're on the latest version of CM7 as well.
I'll give it a shot. the thing is that my gps was working fine on the rom until i flashed the tiamac kernel. I'll try it and report back

Anyone else having complete "fail" on latest CM7?

Way back in the 30's I was getting fantastic results with CM7 and tiamets kernel. I recently wanted to go back to it until the Sense 2.1 guys ironed out a few more bugs for me to comfortably daily drive them. I installed n63....had issues 7.0.3.1.... had issues.... n65.... had issues.
By issues I mean random restarts, force closes, 3g won't stick, overall signal for 1x was horrible, no amount of gps fixing would keep my gps locked in or lock better than 20 meters and mms won't work.
I tried stock kernel, tiamets, SZ ect.... clean install, clean wipe, reinstall apps from market vs restore from TB. Tried the mms fix, gps status app, msl reset trick, you name it I have tried it. My phone does not like CM7 right now at all. It's like feeding a baby strained carrots.
I was just curious if anyone else is having similar "no amount of tweaking will fix it" issues. I had to go back to Konis just for some sanity after 3days of this. I know all these Roms that are not based on actual Evo source are experimental but can a guy get some CM love?! lol
I am having pretty much the same issues on my evo. Tried just about the same tweaks to try to rectify them. Right now I'm going to under clock and see if it helps. I noticed a lot more things residing in memory after a restart than usual, including fota kill which is a cm product. All I think I can do now is fire up catlog and see if anything is obvious. I'm no genius so likely I'll just send it in and hope for the best. I was almost sure my hardware was failing, but now not so much.
Haven't had any issues gonna try the latest stable build of cm7 I always use amon 2.3 for a full wipe a lot of the time that fixes issues for people .

Well, n66 after a day on tiamets 4.0.1 kernel seems stable. Let me know how the undervolting goes. I tried vipers v2 and it started freezing after about 20 minutes. The -50 script did the same thing. -25 actually worked out pretty well right up until this morning. My alarm went off and I hit snooze and it threw it into constant reboot.
I'm going to run just n66 with 4.0.1 all day no script and see what I get. I dunno what has changed for my phone but it seems to have leveled out. *knocks on wood*

Are you u using amon 2.3
Cm7 is running great for me. Used nightly 65 for a week with no problems. Flashed 7.0.3.1 2 days ago and it is running like a champ with sz 2.1.0 cfs. Did GPS fix back on nightly 30 something and it has been fine ever since. Maybe you just made your phone mad and its retaliating lol. I do have the receive mms problem though . Tried multiple fixes for it with no luck.
Update* just received an mms with 7.0.3.1 and it worked

Well 66 plays nicely, but I think the mms bug where you can't receive, but using 3.3.7/4.0.1 with bsm v2 and it plays nicely.

Well, I just went back to Koni's..............again. I was running 66 all morning with 4.0.1 and no script and while everything was working ok the battery was draining somewhat fast. It wasn't a wake issue and I even tested an hour or so on PRI177 with the same results. The battery was tolerable because Mondays are really busy for me so I know on a normal day I wouldn't complain but my data connection still drops to 1x a lot and I think the drain might have something to do with the connection searching constantly.
If I can get that Viper script moving along and figure out the data and signal drop I think I am getting somewhere.
@reaper, yes I am using Amon Ra latest and greatest.
Off topic, I love the Nand backup option. My Vibrant only uses Clockwork and even then it was not fully functional. Some of the basic options would brick the phone.
The latest cm7 stable works great.

flashing back to sense after "GPS FIX"
I have a few issues with CM7 and I keep switching back to Sense roms because they have been stable. If I do the GPS fix and stay on CM7 will my GPS still work when and if I go back to a Sense ROM?

Softkey backlight?

I love the DINC2 so far, but one thing that I wish I could change is the softkey brightness.
Are they supposed to be always on? Even with the clock in night mode?
I tried LED hacks and a few other brightness control apps, but no luck so far.
Does anyone know of an app that can dim/turn off the softkey backlight?

Thanks for letting me know.
what rom are you running? stock? on cyanogen mod the softkeys go out on night mode in the clock app.
Right now I'm running the debloated stock, but am thinking of skyraider zeus.
Had it on there yesterday, but then lost mobile service after unlocking the SIM, and decided to try the stock rom. Service came back, and now I'm chicken to try flashing again.
Does global mode work with cyanogen? I will use this phone in Europe later this year and want a stable rom with working global.

According to post #18 SkyRaider Zeus does work in global mode. I haven't tested it, but I have been running SkyRaider Zeus for about a week now and I love it.
Yep, that's part of the reason I want to use it, but I'd like it even better if it had softkey backlight control, too. I guess I will have to risk flashing and seeing what happens with the softkeys.
When I ran it yesterday, it was bright daylight, and I only noticed how annoying the backlit keys were later that night, when the phone was running debloated stock.
There's no risk flashing most stable roms from the dev section. Make sure you have a working backup of your current rom and you're good to flash new ones. I had an issue trying to mess with global mode on my phone once and it required me to do a restore of a working backup I had then all was fine again.
Also in the cm7 thread this post confirmed working global mode recently. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=17245922

Thanks for the info!
When I ran into the no service problem after unlocking the Sim, I restored via cwm, but nothing
worked. Got an endless 'loading, this can take several minutes. Please wait.
This was the backup of the stock ROM, though.
Sent from my ADR6350 using XDA App
if you had issues restoring a backup in clockwork then it wouldnt have been because you unlocked the sim card. sounds like you had a corrupt backup or something went wrong with the backup you were trying to restore. but out of curiosity, how long did you let it try to restore before you gave up?
The restore went through successfully, according to CWM, but when the phone restarted, I was stuck with: Loading! It can take several minutes. Please wait.
I waited for an hour, and then flashed the debloated ROM.
What happened after the SIM unlock (I was running Skyraider Zeus at the time), was that I lost my mobile service.
I am sorry to hear you are having problems. I hope you didn't lose any data. I run cm7 nightlies. I have heard that cm7 supports global mode. I also use an app called "Screen Filter". When I was unrooted/stock, the app would not turn off my softkey backlight (there is an option to enable or disable softkey backlight), but on cm7, the feature works. I have two widgets, one set at 46.8% without softkey backlight, and one set at 97.8%, also without softkey backlight. The second one barely dims the screen, and turns the softkey backlight off. And best of all, with cm7 I am able to assign one of them to long press search key, so I can turn off the softkey lights from anywhere. I have not tested it, but there is a chance this could work on a rooted sense rom (the screen filter setting). I know it works on cm7 though.
Also, with cm7 you can control the brightness of the softkeys (if you only want to dim them) if you customize the auto-brightness (the setting is built into the rom), but then you have to use auto-brightness (I do that as well).
Hope that helped!

Thank you!
You don't know how happy it makes me to hear that cm7 does global and screen filter works with the softkey backlight!
I'm a big fan of Screen Filter, anyhow.
Can you tell me where I can find the latest stable version of cm7 to try out? Or do I need to grab a nightly?
Any ideas on battery use, and signal strength with cm7? I have pretty horrible signal strength with the debloated stock rom, though it was no better with the unrooted stock.

There is no stable version yet, but here is the link for the nightlies:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1156343
I find them stable enough for daily use. I have used WiFi, GPS, Bluetooth, 3G, Tethering, SMS and MMS with Handcent, etc. and have never had any problems (other than the compass issue with AOSP, which I really don't mind, as it's fine when I'm moving).
There is also a beta:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1153261
if you don't want to deal with nightlies. I haven't used it, but I have heard it's good enough for daily use.
I do have pretty bad signal strength with this rom, however I have always had bad signal strength and have never dropped a call/had to resend a message. At best I can get around -80 dbm, but usually I'm around -90.
My battery use has been okay. Not 72 hours like some people report (I don't see how that's possible with any rom), but with ~2 hours of screen on time, I'm usually just below 50% at the end of the day. So I charge every night, but I never worry about making it through a day. I use the Tiamat kernel because without it the speaker on calls is too low for me, but another benefit is that Tiamat includes the smartass governor, which is supposed to help battery life.
Thanks again!
I'll check out cm7.
Yes! It works!
I have the latest nightly and screen filter controls the backlight!
Thanks a million, and also for mentioning the long press option.
Now I use that for turning off the soft keys when reading. Much nicer than having to go back to the home screen.

Qualcomm Vision GPS drivers

I dont know how many of you guys know about this, but this driver is a life saver for the Evo. For a lot of Evo's, GPS lock can take FOREVER. However, with these drivers, GPS lock on Evo is INSTANT (within 5 seconds)!
I thought that since our phones have qualcomm hardware, these drivers might work. My E4GT (stock with Rogue's EK02 kernel and recovery) takes for-e-ver to get a lock if at all (indoor locks are a bona-fide no-go). However, after flashing this, I now get a quick lock outdoors, and get a lock indoors within 30 seconds. Perhaps it's just a fluke/placebo effect, I dont know. Been rebooting and testing these GPS drivers for the last couple hours and everything seems kosher now. YMMV.

can't tell you right now, i'm at work. i will tell you though, i did leave the screen off (with gps status running) for about 20 minutes while i was getting ready for work. when the screen came back on (after i got in my car), only took about 5 seconds to lock on after i opened google maps.
thanks a lot this fix worked for me
i see mention of battery issues on some of the earlier driver revisions... can the people that flash this report on any additional battery drain?
is there a way to revert from these drivers? i guess just nandroid first and revert back if needed?

Can a MOD please sticky this...I think its very essential... this fix is flawless bro!

Also I sometimes have issues when changing roms with GPS but I have found that the app GPS status works great by just clearing out cache. You go to Tools - Options - choice at the bottom.. let it do its thing and then check your GPS again.
Just an alternative but the GPS fix posted here has worked wonders for the OG Evo

I have an OG Epic and had to flash a fix (the GPS started sucking pretty bad after the recent 2.3 update), so when I noticed my roommates ET4G was having GPS issues too I convinced her to let me root it (couldn't help myself), and more importantly flash CWM and this fix. I can say, their effects were nearly identical on both devices (albeit I used a different fix for my OG Epic: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1321049). After that fix on my device, and this fix on her ET4G we both went from 0-1 Sat locks in GPS Status, and unusable Google Nav to 4-7 locks and completely usable Google Nav. Neither device has had any other GPS issues since the fix (no freezes, etc).
GPS fixed!
Hi,
This is my first time posting on the xda forums as I only read others comments and try out things. Followed the cdma hero when I had it and now this.
Well I had gps issues. when I got this phone I tried every type of fix in this these forums. I tried the trick about configuring the gps.conf in the other forum post, additionally tried putting the set cpu to the screen off 500-500 100priority trick. The gps would work at times but would take around a minute to do so or sometimes when I had the phone on idle for a few hours it would never connect until a reboot.
At this I would have tried anything to fix the gps and I found this thread. I was like might as well try it if anything I can just nandroid back. Man it worked flawlessly. I tested every scenario in which I restarted the phone and it locked in 5seconds and then idled the phone for over 4 hours and then turned on gps status and it connected within 10-15seconds. This is all without clearing the cache too. But when I did clear it, it would lock faster.
My phone is set up with all the previous configurations from the other thread and this gps fix. There is definitely a performance difference, so its not the placebo effect. I haven't isolated if this fix was the the fix that corrected my gps or if it was the combination of both. But this sure works. Sorry for the long post lol hope this helps whoever had the same problem as me.
Ps. The whole phone is perfect. No los. Good battery. It was just the gps issue.

So then, you recommend doing a nandroid backup, then Flash the Drivers, if nothing ends up working, one can always reflash the previous backup and you're set as before?... also is there any wipes needed to be done before flashing the backup?

Thanks for understanding and for helping to keep XDA neat and tidy!
I've been lurking around XDA for a while looking for a good build about the new CM12 for my i317m and Ive decided to get yours.
You seem to give a good feedback concerning bugs and etc..
I am currently running the latest snapshot of CM11 while writing these lines and I have been pretty satisfied with this ROM so far.
Im an heavy user of my phone since i use it to almost everything concerning my job (highway trucker) so, i believe ill be able to give you the best feedback for the developlement of this CM12!
Ill keep you updated!
Ive CLEAN flash cm12 in my note 2.
First thing first, it looks absolutely amazing!
But first bug that ive encountered, Netflix.
It just wont open.
For the rest, ill keep you updated!
Ok, here's a MAJOR DEFECT on my day 2.
The phone keeps rebooting in this particular order; 3 soft reboot and normal reboot.
And it's keeps on going like that non-stop.
The GPU is ****ing hot right now, dunno if this might help but I'm going to flash the old cm11 on it; im just unable to use the phone...
Keep me updated, thanks.

When using the gps, the phone will run hot. It shouldn't get hot enough to do any damage in most conditions, but if you're using gps while charging with the phone in your pocket or on the dashboard during a sunny day with the heater on... Who knows... Good luck!
Have a good one!

Actually... It's a commit by Gianmarco Reverberi that's been merged into the cm-12.0 code that fixed the reboots. Change-Id: I6c46ed1eb45a45df2e89646f472a649dc4a99319

Awesome Thank you !
Hey guys,
Ive given a new chance to this ROM and ive gotta say that it runs pretty great!
However, despite a minor bug at the charging logo, ive hit 2 bugs that kinda annoy me.
-Netflix: stay on the opening page and calls a fault code after 5 mins.
-Music while plugged on headphone/car audio jack: songs just stops to play all of a sudden for no apparent reason.
Anyway, this build is pretty great while waiting for the official update.
Thanks for this beauty!

I think there's a drm issue with the lollipop builds for now preventing Netflix from working... But I could be mistaken.
The headphone issue is probably the same "OK Google" issue that popped up in the KitKat builds. Disable "OK Google" in Google Now/Google Search and see if that helps with media playback through headphones. Good luck!

Thanks for the quick reply! Ill be trying this out tomorrow while Ill be on the road!
For the record, ill point out something real quick that did happen to me yesterday.
Ive been going kinda far away from civilisation to go at my Xmas party. Ive got to mention it because I wasnt able to get my data from time to time.
Got to mention that went i was stock on my phone, everything was normal. I wasnt getting a full signal but my data was on all the time.
It is possible that Ive got to a shorter signal range with this mod?

I have found that the lollipop builds are slow to switch from LTE to 3G or below, so there can be a fair bit of data interruption while LTE signal is low or drops out. In some areas around me, I have to manually change to 3G in order to have a stable connection, because the LTE signal isn't strong enough to remain stable, and the phone wouldn't switch automatically to the stronger 3G signal.
Have a good one!
Here's a little update concerning certains bugs that Ive mention above.
Music player:
Even with "Ok Google" turned off, there's still a noticeable glitch while a song is playing. After 2-3 minutes, the song would just pause itself. Ive even tried playing with the equalizer (Audio FX in this case), turned on or off, the result stays the same.
Data loss:
Changed manually to LTE to 3G that it worked. I had to wait 2-3 minutes before having it back tho.
Hope this helps!

Ok, here's a MAJOR DEFECT on my day 2.
The phone keeps rebooting in this particular order; 3 soft reboot and normal reboot.
And it's keeps on going like that non-stop.
The GPU is ****ing hot right now, dunno if this might help but I'm going to flash the old cm11 on it; im just unable to use the phone...
Keep me updated, thanks.

I flashed CM12 quite a few times already. Here are the problems that I have been facing.
Email app takes a long time to sync. And I cannot use corporate account.
When I touch something, the running application would be interrupted quickly like flipping the lights on and off.
And most importantly, the audio on the phone is too low. I tried many ways and could not get it to go higher. I can't even carry a conversation on it.
So now I'm back to my old rom.
netflix not an issue
just follow this post replace exactly the lib files , rename the old one in the folder as *backup...and netflix will load

Gotta admit that Ive been facing the same issues right here and Ive got some more to add on, unfortunely..
Navigation with Maps/Waze.
I better use it the old way which means, directions by directions. As a trucker myself, this is really annoying since my deliveries depends on it.
Incall volume.
It's low and to fix it, you have to go out of the phone app while calls is still on, get the volume up to keep going. Still dunno if my voice is okay on the other side.
Data/signal loss.
You don't have to go really far away from big cities to complety lose all lf your signal bars.
Plus, the fact of losing data pretty easily and having to switch from LTE to 3G make thing slightely better, doesn't really helps...
Unfortunately, i really loved this ROM on the first sight and wish hard as hell to give a second chance. But right now, i had to go back to my old one.
P.S.: I am posting these informations to help OP/developers where to look at. I dont want this to be seen as some negative feedback from my sorry ass...
Hope this helps once more!
Gotta say I'm loving this ROM. I'm on AT&T i317, coming from AICP Kitkat, and this thing is definitely a daily driver. Been on it for 3 days now. Good battery life, camera works, video playback is good (except embedded within browser or apps sometimes, but that has always made my phone crash while on Kitkat, on occasion.) In Chrome, I get some "distortion" or artifacts when scrolling up on down on pages where images or video are embedded. Have never seen this behavior before. Baseband is good and strong on LTE. I did notice one or two times where it lost signal for about 15 seconds then reacquired. Netflix is a no-go but I will try crislleen's suggestion and posted link above. GPS seems right on, but I haven't done a turn-by-turn trip yet. Everytime I open Google Maps, it snaps right to my location.
I only needed to clean flash the 12/23 ROM and then applied the sensor patch as mine were not working. But working great after that patch. Netflix patch is next.
Is support for this ROM going to continue? Or was it just an experiment?
Big thanks to all involved in development. Great work guys.
