[KITKAT] Evervolv's general and Q & A thread - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

This thread is meant for people with questions regarding my Kitkat ROM.
Why did I create this thread?
I want to keep my Development thread clean.
What can I ask/post about?
Almost anything, as long as it is related to me or the ROM.
Some examples;
"Does INT2EXT work with this rom?"
"Does supercharger work with this rom?"
"Where are you from?"
And so on...
Feel free to help each other out! And please, stop posting about this in the development thread.

Well I now feel officially obliged to apologize for ****ting in your development thread.

No worries mate, this thread was just created. I've been meaning to do this thread for a while now

Nice idea, thanks
Here's my problem: GTalk crashes when people call me (voice chat).

"Does supercharger work with this rom?"

Is this thing stable enough to use for space diving?
via xda app

Good idea starting this thread. So here's my first question :
Does Netflix app work for you w this rom (latest version)?
For me it instantly shuts down when I start the app.

I had it installed on P11. You have to patch services.jar (there's a windows tool to do it for you here).
I had a lot of freezing problems before and after installing it. They weren't the same after I installed it; not necessarily better, just different. I have no way of knowing if it was supercharger or an app or some sort of interaction between two or more things.
I'm on 3.1.0p1 now and I have no intention of using supercharger because my Desire is more responsive and better at multitasking now than it ever was on Gingerbread with supercharger.

sorry to ask what exactly is/does supercharger?

I tried supercharger to jb/cm10 and I had no problem at all I believe the same would be for p1 but at the moment I run without supercharge and looks that the rom doesnt need it.

I can't say, I don't use my desire. But.. If someone else here were to install Netflix (No need to login, just try to start) that'd be great.
Get me a logcat and I'll see what I can do.
adb logcat -c <press enter>
adb logcat > netflix.txt <press enter> and start netflix. then upload it somewhere (like pastebin?)

I would ask for Aroma Installer with which we can be able to choose between different scripts (A2SD and INT2EXT) and misc.
And....what about trying Cyanogenmod settings to be able to customize even further?

Using Aroma = more bugs. No thank you.
Well.. That's Cyanogenmod and not Evervolv.

Hi Nikez, Just curious, any reason you use a2sd and not other scripts (d2ext, int2ext etc)? Speed, stability? So people won't ask and try other alternatives as you as dev explain the benefit.

By any chance, did anyone try endomondo on the new p1 release? On p11 I had a problem that every time I tried viewing the map, the phone froze.. not sure if it was some issue with gapps. Anyone hit anything similar?

@nikez thanks for the awesome JB ROM. My Desire is still kicking along after nearly 2.5 years!
I have just installed the latest update 3.0.0p11, flashed the 4.1.2 version of google apps (gapps-jb-20121011-signed) and setup app2sd.
When I view the available space using Titanium Backup I only have 36.8kB free in System Rom partition. Is that normal on stock Hboot?
Also, I installed the latest Google Calendar update from the Play Store. I now have two calendar apps installed. Has anyone else tried this yet? Do I need to remove the other one from /system?

I would like to thank you deeply for this amazing ROM. I've been searching a perfect rom for a long time, but I think I am very close to end my search now while using your ROM. Very fast, very versatile, almost stock ROM. I love simplicity and this is absolutely perfect.
The only problem I had was a problem with camera - I know this is an annoying issue with many ROMs and it's probably not very well made in the Android itself. Do you think it will get better? I understand that it probably does not depend on you, but I believe this is the last thing that is truly missing to your ROM. (But I am no power user, just a casual user).
And again, thank you for (imho) the best Jelly Bean ROM available here, and I am seriously considering a donation. Keep up the good work!

[Q] Rcmix sense 3.5 kernel and radio?

Since I can't post in the developer section yet i'm asking here, hope it's ok. Been looking at the ROM for a few mins and it looks great, but i've been using MIUI for so long my flashing skills are kind of rusty.
First of all, the kernel is included in the ROM and is the one the developer recommends or have developed right?
And secondly, wich radio is recommended for the ROM? Could'nt find any answer to that in the first post dedicated to the ROM. Should i flash radio before or after i flash the ROM?
Again hope you don't mind me posting this stupid question here and thank you in advance for your answers.
Oh and btw does HTC Watch work with these ROMs? Living in Sweden if it matters.

follow my signature for trouble free flash and welcome to rcmix3d 1.5... best rom out there and if the htc watch service is available in your country then yes it will work.
Transferring the ROM, Supercharger, full wipe 1.5 ext4, and the overclock thing right now, hopefully I'll have it done with the titanium backed up apps installed as well. Your signature actually helped alot.

you are welcome just remember while using titanium backup DO NOT restore system apps and ONLY restore user apps without data.. even better if you have not started already just make a folder in the root of your sdcard\RCTeam\app.user and copy all your user apps from data\app folder to sdcard\RCTeam\app.user and let the rom install your apps automatically.
Restoring data was the reason i bought titanium backup
I'll just restore the apps i had then with market links. The ROM is really fast btw, the eyecandy isn't too bad either.

Actually it seems that the script killersloth linked is the problem as the phone froze again before i even entered my SIM Pin, I'll just flash the restore thing before it freezes the next time.
And Wavesecure is actually really good, I can lock and locate and wipe the phone with simple text messages, though I never use any kind of AV apps.

I would just go with a standard Rom flash set it up as my liking then do a nand backup only then I will start playing with oc\uv and fine tuning the rom to my liking... it has saved me a lot of problems faced by many users. just my way of doing things. after every success mod I do a nand backup incase my next mod messes up something I have a backup to come back to saves a lot of time and hassle. IMHO I can't say any thing about killersloth's script coz I have not used it.
NAND backups takes ages xD
However the phone is working as it should now, all thats left is a nice theme, anyone?
I won't be playing around with voltages and speeds on the CPU, default is just fine.

your best bet is to upload the files from your phone or the downloaded rom, in the uot kitchen.. the fc problem in the glass theme is a known issue you overcome it by disabling the sound effects in the weather app
OK, thanks for the fc fix.
Only thing bothering me with the theme is the transparency in the status bar, replacing it and the battery, + a new font. Then I'm happy until I find something fancier

[ROM] ICS with UNSUPPORTED HW HACK

This is a thread for all of those interested in the HW Hack that has been applied to the current WIP ICS for Desire ROM. This is to keep you out of the development thread for the ICS ROM and keep it clean. Any questions should be asked in here and if anyone wants to develop it, go ahead. As mentioned many times in the original thread, they are not supporting this, so don't ask them! Funnily enough, neither am I, I am sick of reading questions pertaining to something that is mentioned every page as UNSUPPORTED.
Flash in the order the files are listed.
Copy and pasted from ICS thread:
UNSUPPORTED 0.3.5 WITH HW HACK * (Stock HBOOT)
http://fyels.com/FCx
UNSUPPORTED 0.3.5 WITH HW HACK * (CM7R2 HBOOT)
http://www.mediafire.com/?v2c6s8w77s6cscc
Kernel is NEEDED (should be the same as last build but reuploaded because of some complaints
http://fyels.com/Frt
If you need to flash superuser:
http://fyels.com/M8t
What's working:
HW accelration! (with errors)
WiFi
SMS
GPS
Sound
Calling
Touchscreen
Stable 3G
Gmail sync + calendar working with gmail
SD read/write
All sensors
BT
Picaza sync
Fixed permissions (3rd party apps that needed maps now works)
Headphones
App2sd ( the stock included not app2sd+ or app2ext)
GoogleBackup
What's not working:
Camera
Forgot to add USB (charges + adb nothing more)
and probably alot more

i am trying out this rom.. it is definitely smoother than the other rom. But i faced a problem, i am unable to download and install whatsapp from the market. Though i have enough space to install it on my internal memory, the message that is given was not enough memory. I think this is due to the 5mb of cache in the Cm7r2 hboot. Is there a way to symlink such that apps from the market are downloaded to the sdcard before installation?

Use terminal emulator and try this. (Alternatively use adb shell)
su
cd /cache/
rm -R download
mkdir /mnt/asec/marketcache
ln -s /mnt/asec/marketcache download
chown -h system.cache download
See if this works or not.

Because you started spamming the other thread with pointless questions. The need for clean thread where those actively participating in development could obtain information needed without roaming the endless posts about something which could hardly benefit the development warrants the need for a new thread. This should be done the first day they started with this project.

How can I use this tweak?
well i don't personally use it, but it might be a good idea to do some research.
If you are talking about the supercharger script...there is a whole thread dedicated by the developer.
Its is not a simple click and profit situation. Do some research and give it a shot on your phone.

I dont know if perhaps that post came off as condescending...but what is odd to me is that the OP asked about V6 tweak, and clearly has some limited knowledge about it, but chose to not read about it and instead wrote a one line post in a completely different forum.
OP should really do a quick xda search - so this way instead of pasting links for others we can test software and help debug/develop it - and maybe learn a new thing or two.

Then do yourself a favor.... Go back to stock, relock your bootloader and don't look back. If you've read the thread you would need to ask about it here. The first couple posts tell you everything and no one can answer your questions about it better than the dev. Yes, it will work with any android device. Some platforms have different things that need to be done than others (last I looked at it at least) and there are instructions and links for everything in the first few posts.

I've used it a bit. Here are the full steps to get it to work.
1. Find the thread that the dev created for it.
2. Read the instructions there.
3. Download the required files and apps.
4. Follow the instructions that you read in step 2.
Sent from my ICS Dinc2
*Edit* Come to think of it those are the instructions that I use for just about everything I find on XDA.
I've used the supercharger script on the aeroevan's unofficial CM9 rom and macrodroid's ArcticICSed rom with no issues.
Warning....., if you installed the AndyBones tweaks for the Arctic rom (or Tazz's 3.6 ICS) and then run the Supercharger script, you will end up with a blank wallpaper and a reflash is needed to fix it. The Supercharger script will modify your build.prop and init.d scripts (plus install a S99 script) will may conflict with the tweaks program (the Rosie tweaks in the tweaks program include modded winfree values which may be the cause of the conflict).
I hate bringing up an old topic but didn't want to clutter with a new post I'm running aeroeven cm10 does the v6 improve it much I've been reading the main thread and it seems like a lot of mixed emotions on it my thing is the rom I'm running is really smooth and only gets laggy when too many tasks are running a simple task killer fixes it so my question is what do you guys think of it is it worth it or not and is there any draw backs and what addons are you running with it as I saw a lot of options with it I would normally just go for it without asking but with all the options and my current schedule I don't have time to really test everything out

Has anyone used V6 SuperCharger with TSM UKB II 1.3.1 with success?
I know one of the files were patched to work with it, but couldn't find any word of users using it within the OP.
"service.jar patched for v6 supercharger"
(i would have posted in the OP thread, but I don't have permission )
Can someone chime in that has used V6SC with the ROM in question?
Better yet... give me a "howto" for implementing it?
The V6 SuperCharger thread is pretty confusing for newcomers to that concept.
(note: I am not new to flashing and tweaking ROM's... been doing it for years :angel: )

[JB][ICS] CRON-o-GENMOD9 / CronMod CM10: General Thread

General thread for the JB CM10/AOSP based rom by cronmod dev team here and the ICS CM9 based rom here.
Check the respective rom sites for a what's working/not working list, features and download links. Discuss general things about the rom here such as a2sd scripts and any issues
As requested by the dev for the ICS rom:
What's NOT working?
Code:
[LIST]
[*]Camera force closes while recording video
[*]Hardware decoding for video playback -> laggy playback of 720p (use software decoding in Mx Player instead).
[*]Home/Search key (use the fix over [URL="http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=34075493&postcount=131"]here[/URL])
[/LIST]
Anything that isn't said there is working fine. Will update the list if others find anything that doesn't work. Before asking for help do check you have the right hboot and that the md5 is correct after you download the rom. Also make sure you perform a full wipe when migrating to these roms.
Bear in mind that ICS was not made for our devices. Do not expect the stability of GB but the devs have done a great job on this and it is quite stable and quick for daily use.
Installation for CM9 ICS rom:
Code:
[U]Full wipe recommended before each flash from new version and is NEEDED if coming from any other rom.[/U]
Partition SD card so you have less than 1.5gb in sd-ext partition and the rest as FAT32. Gparted is recommended.
Flash the rom from recovery.
Grab m2sd from [URL="http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1342387"]here[/URL] (credit to dk_zero-cool) and flash it from recovery using whatever options you want (recommended by to choose apps and dalvik).
Wipe cache/dalvik and reboot :)
You can use cron's INT2EXT scripts as well from here and just flash in place of m2sd.
Feel free to ask any questions here but keep the dev threads on topic.
Anyone using the JB rom if you could post a not working list from your tests that'd be great .
Since corey moved on to JB the cron r2 hboot isn't available on the website anymore. The current version of the ICS cronmod rom still fits on to the 183mb system hboot so I thought to put this up here for those that want a bit more space in data
WARNING: The size of the system partition may increase in future so the hboot might not be compatible with future versions of cronmod cm9.
Check md5 before flashing and flash through fastboot using "fastboot flash hboot filepathAndName.img"

Its quite usable as a daily rom. At least I use it daily. But don't expect the level of stability like gingerbread. I mean, The kernel is still under improvement. Best way is to use it for a few days and judge yourself.

Hello,
I flashed this ICS rom just before Yasir took over and I must say I'm happy with it.
It is a bit slower than my previous CM7 rom of course but nothing dramatic, and it somehow seems more stable for some reason (GPS works, for example!).
And I still get a quite big amount of space on data thanks to the cron r2 hboot, which is great!
And I also love the CM9 tweaks.
So overall a good surprise for my first jump from CM7 roms.
But I tested Chrome and discovered it is so laggy it is unusable. Do you guys have the same issue?

Chrome isn't made for our devices. Not the best browser for us but it's great on other phones

The rom itself is amazingly quick and stable. Considering it's ICS I'd say it's the best ICS rom out right now. Haven't tried CronMod JB though.

That's a shame.
I have another question: what 3rd party app could I use for video recording?
I tried UCam and it didn't work...

I don't need video recording myself so I wouldn't know. But any camera app should work. I've heard good things about ICS Camera on market. Very close to stock camera app as well.
I'm going to be linking my friend this ROM soon-ish (once beta comes out) and she's using a BravoC on Ntelos. What kind of prep would she need to do on the phone before flashing the ROM? Like a wipe script or something to repartition or what? Want it to go as smooth as possible.

just wipe and install as listed in OP but be sure to have a ext partition if you plan to use a script

I tried it and sadly it crashes like the stock app.
Anyone knows of a working camera app that can record video with a working preview?

Using scripts is kind of new to me. I've always had devices with a lot of storage for apps. What would you recommend?

I suggest you to use INT2EXT+ with this ROM, take a look HERE.
I noticed that when i install a new app (from the market or an .apk), the system hangs for a while, sometimes it even pop with a system error, but if i select to wait the system then starts to work again, i have installed INT2EXT+ script with a 512 sd-ext partition on a Class 4 8 GB SD card. Could the low SD class can cause this problem? SD read cache is correctly set at 2 MB.
Could you amswer me whats working and whats not working in your cm9 rom? Cant find it

[Q] Is the stock rom "good enough"?

I'm taking over a friends old R800i next week and I'm really looking forward to it since I've wanted one of these since about when it was released.
What I'm looking for is a rom that gives me all the usual stuff - GSM connection, working 3G, wifi, gps, sms, mms, camera - but, will a custom rom give me better performance for emulation?
I want to be able to emulate all kinds of consoles without losing too much performance due to the rom - nor do I want my battery to get drained while the phone isn't in use. I'm of course ready to try a bunch of roms and I have looked at some of the threads, without learning much to be honest. I'm not even up to date with who's roms are the stable ones or which is the highest SE provided rom for Play either.
Looking to emulate N64, nes, PS and sega genesis, mainly.
If you root and debloat the stock rom, you will get excellent gaming performance. I went rom using custom roms and went back to stock as it provided the best performance all around.

Have a quicklist of which items to uninstall? Is there timescape and other such stuff on the Play?
Also, which android version do you use? 2.3.4?
Was waiting for a thread like this,

Guess I should use the latest provided rom from SE? Which one is it anyway?
well pizza_dox has a stock debloated of 79 frimware
but i cant find it now
but it had a little bug that its very easy to fix it(problem wasnt little but it was very easy to fix it)
Oh yeq,
It was in my Sig and I forgot to include SEMCSetupWizard which broke the home button...
Sent from my R800i using xda app-developers app
as i know editing the build.prob without adding the setup wizard again will solve the problem(there is aline about setup wizard in build.prob. but i cant test it now)

Well Pizza_dox is an asshat refusing to answer on relevant questions in the thread he made for "the perfect setup", so I need a reliable source to go after since I have no idea what following the guide he provides will actually do to the phone (and I'm not going to learn by failing, hence why I ask questions which she/he refuses to respond properly to)
Dude sorry... But I might have been bussy and forgot to check the thread...

Please act respectful: PizzaDox has opened many manu threads, and he can't be repling at all of them.
Anyway debloating a rom is simple and can be done by everyone that wants to, by extracting the system.sin from your .79 ftf, dumping its data with flashtool in order to make it a yaffs img, extracting it with a yaffs extractor and then removing the apps located into "app" that you consider as bloat
