[WIP][Q] Need help porting nexus ROM to Evo. It boots up and wifi works! - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Yep, it boots up, wifi works and its not bootlooping on me or anything.
The problems: I have no carrier signal, as i dont know what i should switch out from the nexus rom (GSM} and put in from the evo {CDMA} Any help is appreciated.
This is my first major port so bear with me...
Update wifi broke now, but I'm fixing...

Anyone? Anyone at all?

I think you gotta mess around with the build.prop. did you switch out the build.prop from the nexus rom?

i sure did and the modules and the other stuff too.
I treated it like i was porting a incredible rom, and when that didnt work so well. Thats when i built off of the INC porting method.

This may be a long shot, but did you try pushing an evo services.jar to /system/framework? While it may not solve the problem, it may help with something... Just tryna help

whats the reason for the improved audio on incdoes's desire hd port??????

The audio sound quality and volume has been greatly improved on IncDoes's desire hd port. The audio through the headphone jack sounds better and is much louder. What file or files are in direct relation to this? Basically, what file or files do I need to rip out of his Rom to apply this to another Rom?
EDIT (10-10-10): about a week or so ago i did get the result i was looking for. i copied and pasted probably about a dozen or so files from the Desire HD rom to the Virtuous rom i am running and i did get this to work. i just have no idea whatsoever, which file actually did it.
i'd like to get this figured out so that i can apply this hack to another rom if i ever decide to switch to another rom. i'm running a very early version of Virtuous, 2.0 to be exact. if i update, i'll loose what i somehow did. 2.0 has been running pretty flawlessly though i gotta say.

Make it easy on yourself and just use the ROM ;p

ok, i would, but the rom is broken. streaming any kind of audio makes the phone unresponsive within about 10 minutes or so. it works fine for about 5-10 minutes and then the cpu usage gets maxed out and the phone becomes completely unresponsive. if that one issue was fixed i would continue to use the rom, but until then, it's useless to me. in the meantime i would like to get this kind of audio quality onto a more stable rom.

No Q&A threads in development is why... I can't help you(I am idiot), but any improvement that can be mashed into other roms is a plus.

yea. thanks. if its in the wrong section hopefully somebody can move it.
none of the rom developers on here know the answer? whoever can help me with this gets a small donation... thats how bad i need this.
if it was me, i would probably pull the lib audio files out of the lib folder and make an update with those. I'm new to the incredible though.

how do i make an update?
use adb push and overwrite them. make sure to nandroid backup first. also, when you boot run adb logcat just in case you run into errors.
give it a few days, theres gonna be a big skyraider rip or a new version of RR with everything fixed i bet

i'm gonna try it right now. i have plenty of backups. i'll report back in a few.
i think your update.zip worked like it should have( phone booted and is running), but the audio is still the same. i think it's a different file than the ones that are in your update. thanks for the try though.
is it possibly part of the framework, and not in the lib directory?
haven't installed that rom, but in other roms i've used where dspmanager is installed, that app greatly improved the sound quality. maybe it's built into the framework with tweaked settings already in place?

yea i already have DSP manager. have been using it since the day that it was discovered to work on the incredible. this is something completely different. on incdoes's desire port the volume is considerably louder and just sounds better. there has got to be someway we can make this work on other roms.
i was just hoping a dev that knew which files controlled what, could lead me in the right direction.
have you tried just PMing ID and asking?

Good luck with this. It's great to see that there are still some people who believe in a 2.2 sense rom for the hero
when the rom is tested a bit i will add it to my rom database
dude, you built a rom! congrats on being so bleeding edge bonesy!
I'm impressed with your guts
um, don't take this the wrong way, but I'm not about to try it just yet... ;-) It's just because I need my phone and it's camera etc for daily use. I have faith in you - you've been messing with this stuff longer than I have probably dude and your flashing instructions are VERY clear which is comforting.
I'm really impressed that you persevered like this though man!
cheers

Like I said gonna give it a try when at work. Great work man. And ill report back in here all my findings.
Like don said. Great to see this still happening to the hero.

hi there!
I'm a bit puzzled how to revert to pre-MTD changes state.
I am willing to test this rom, but I would like to have an option to nandroid back without much of a problem. I read through the topic bonesy linked, but haven't found a simple answer/solution.
I hope I could help some more, at least confirm bugs or something.
Cheers!

EDIT:
Is it as simple, as flashing "remove" zip?
Nearly, you will need to re-flash recovery too, Through fastboot..
Im struggling at the moment as i have 2 different builds on 2 different computers.As soon as i can get to my work computer i can carry on with it all
Call me stupid but is CustomMTD really necessary ? This rom can't work as all roms do? I've flashed it without MTD method and I am stuck on first splash-screen (mine says HERO on black background).
BTW ty for working on a Froyo Sense port for Hero GSM
omg Ninpo is involved, <3 him (nogay)
I will try when it's a little bit better ^^ and can be used for 1 day at school

@bonesy. how are you hoping the development of this ROM will be community driven? Would you like us to simply try it and report bugs (no different to most other ROMS I think) or would you like us to get down and dirty with code wherever possible?
Im just a regular user but i'd like to help with the development of this rom. if i was pointed in the right direction I would even be willing to learn about how to develop this rom!
anyway good effort for starting on this (I expect, long) journey

Well took a quick look at this. Will try to devout some more time over the next few days and see if it'll get me anywhere.
What I got for now is:
a) There is quite a lot of "junk" on the system partition here, after a short cleanup it fits very nicely without the MTD patch .
b) libwebcore.so fixes the browser crashes and most likely the markets too.
If I have time tomorrow I'll try to give the microphone a shot, cause this is the most critical problem at this point - whats the point of having a telephone you even talk to...
Hopefully I'll also release something for testing tomorrow...
Thanks Erasmux, i would have gtalked you today but been at work and the boss was in...so no devvin on the work pc lol.Got market and browser fixed as you say and also rotate and i think light sensor.I removed nabservice.apk as it only FC'd.Would be great if we can arrange a time over the W/end to talk
Opened a new thread for "my" version of this port:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1026699
Please note, that the amount of effort I will be able on such a (closed source) ROM is limited. I mainly what to see how far I can get this, especially in terms of hardware support, with my past experience.
So its up to you if you want to continue to keep your version going in parallel. If you do (or anyone else), please feel free to reuse anything from "my" ROM....

Mayor Camera Problem pictures all look purple and really bad

Hey guyz whats up just today, my evo 4g Camera started taking incredibly horrible pictures i dont know why i was thinking maybe it was the rom so i flashed it to another rom to try it out and it did the same thing...before it was running mikfroyo 4.61 with netarski kernel it was OCed to 1228Mhz using setcpu...now the phone is running Wym warm 2.2 RL5 with Stock HTC Kernel? do you guyz think this is a software or hardware issue?? I have never dropped the phone and it does not have a single Scratch...your help is appreciated guys....Thank you

I don't know for sure because this is the first time of me hearing about anything like this to the camera but it looks like it might be a hardware issue. I know you said that you've never dropped it or anything like that but did you happen to leave it in the sun with the camera facing up at it or anything like that?
If it's still under warranty then take it to the sprint store....After unrooting and going back to the stock rom of course AND they should be able to either replace your EVO or fix it if they know how to.
[EDIT]
If you feel up to the task of doing it yourself then here's where to buy the front facing camera for 17 dollars, I'm sure if you google it too, you'll find the know how to replace it without messing anything up too bad.

Thank you for the help Brother....its just wierd happened today all of the sudden...the last picture i was able to take was one of my new pioneer cdj 800 mk2s...i've only had the phone for less than a year so yes it should be under warranty
I wonder if its something to do with the light sensor??
Try to clear your cache+dalvik and then see if it works. If that doesn't work wipe your cache + dalvik then flash another kernel.
If that still doesn't work. Nandroid backup, and try flashing another ROM. Wipe data + cache + dalvik.
If all of these don't fix it, then its definitely a hardware issue.
Thank you for your help...i tried all your suggestions and no luck....i think there is an issue with the light sensor or the focus because it only happens when its auto focusing must definately be a hardware issue...going to unroot to take to sprint store...Thanks

What hardware is your phone 0002 0003 0004? The 0004 had alot of fixes to it.
Thanks for the reply...my hardware version is 0003....just as a small update...thinking that i would have to take the phone back to the sprint store i unrooted it and applied all the updates and i checked the camera now and it fixed...I wonder what was the problem then...should i try to root it again? what do you guyz think?? let me know

Give rooting a try lol it looked like a someone stuck a magnet to it. If you root it and it does it again then unroot and take it back.
0004 had something fixed with the camera or so I read on google. Not to much info on it.
question for you reaper if you don't mind....i know that unrevocked flashes clockword mod i dont know some old version.... is there anyway to make clockwork flash anon recovery in one shot i hear that anon is much better at wiping data also what rom do you suggest? when i root probably gonna put myn warm 2.2 RL5

Here you go man Amon 2.3 put it on your sd card and boot into hboot and let it install it. This wipes everything so no problems like others have using roms.
Can flash and backup things with it also.
I like Elite 3 seems to be my favorite of all times there are to many new builds out there of the leaked GB thing there too buggy.
Myns is good so is Elite 3.
PM ME if you need help bro.
Take it to a Sprint repair location and have them push the camera module back down onto the board. That'll fix it.

Funny that you mention this issue. I had the same exact problem. I skimmed through the Net and find this quick fix.
Launch your camera and press menu. Uncheck autofocus and face detection. Exit camera. Problem solved.
For the record, these setting will stay this way until you either change your rom or change the settings again.
I hope this helps.

[Q] Possible phantom voicemail fix

I found this thread] over in the evo 4g forums and was wondering if it might be a possible fix to get rid of the phantom voicemail. I have been trying to do the decompile and recompile myself but my coding skills are extremely limited and I cannot even get the phone.apk decompiled. Does anyone think this might work and if so anyone have the necessary skills to try it?

I'll give this a try when I get a chance.. Not sure if it'll work on ICS or not though.
Edit:
I went ahead and did it... And it seems to work! Great work finding that thread, the phantom voicemail notification was the one major issue I've had with CM9.
Here it is:
Phantom VM Fix for CM9 Beta 0 (Changed link to new thread)
Just flash it in CWM. Should not need to clear cache.
Let me know if it works for you. Make sure to create a backup of your Phone.apk beforehand, just in case something is broken that I haven't noticed yet.
If everything seems to work OK for you I'll probably create a new thread and keep it updated for the latest versions of CM9.
I tried this last week but wasn't able to get it to compile.
YES IT WORKS!
And now I don't have to flash back to cm7 anymore.

Yeah, it can be a little tricky with ICS system APK's. It is usually the plurals.xml, or dimens.xml files that need a little editing to get it to compile properly.
Sweet....first time I haven't had a vm notification since the switch to ics...big props....thanks a ton
Looks like its working on my end as well. Thanks for the help! For sure one of the annoying parts of CM9 wish I could hit the thanks button a hundred times.

[ROM]CM9TweakedV0.0.1 NEEDS HELP

So I took the CM9 rom, deleted a few things, changed a few things, messed around changes A LOT of things actually...
But I did this all on Windows believe it or not, so without further explanation this rom needs somebody elses work on it to make it flashable.
I did this for my Epic 4G, and the results were amazing, especially battery life.
This rom; once it works, should free up a tleast 5-10 or maybe more ram. And you should be getting an 1-5 hours more battery life.
So here is the rom that needs work.
Please do not flame me for this, I know I did not make this rom from scratch, all I did was make a few changes for it to be better.
***For the devs who want to work on it: The problems I am concerned about is that I changed the build.prop and the update-script so you will have to double check to make sure that it is ok.***
Notes: I did change one minor(its actually major) thing that might effect everything, I do NOT have an Epic Touch yet so I do not know if it is laggy or not. I am trying to buy one currently.
I did this for my Epic's rom a while ago, so I had the option of 2 things to do to that certain thing, one option is laggy but gives more ram, the other option is smooth as a mofo but a lot less ram. Don't ask what it is, I won't say, I'm sure somebody will figure it out and tell everybody.
This rom needs to be fixed in order to be flashed, thank you.
If I posted it in the wrong section move it or remove it. I posted it here because I didn't CREATE the rom, and I didn't want any trouble.
I took cold medicine that helps me sleep so I am very drowsy now, this whole thread might not make sense, but I wanted to put it up before I went to bed so when I wake up it'll have posts.
