[Q] Sprints abandoning evo, has deck also?? - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

deck was updating his rom almost once or twice a week since the ICS source code was released, but it seems we have been stuck on a5 for ages now, i couldnt beleave my eyes when i saw decks ICS pushed 3 pages back on the evo dev forum string, any news on when we may get a alpha 6 or pre beta or dare i even say beta...?? or is deck studying in his man cave developing something so smooth it will suprise us all... just pondering, any thoughts??

Why don't you ask him yourself?

Follow his twitter. I think he actually is up to a7

No decks is still a5 its preludes that is up to a7..
deck said a week or so ago that he is waiting for a newer kernel before he updates..I imagine that hasnt happened yet..

As any true deck follower would know...when his thread seems to go quiet for a while, that means he's cooking something good and then BAM!!! he drops that like its hot cuz it always is.

I saw on his Twitter a while back that he's not releasing nothing till better kernel come out

The rom functionality is being limited by the kernel at the moment until the drivers are coded and compiled things wont be working so they can't be added for updates, whats working is what has kernel support once the kernel is fully functional the rom will be fully functional. Without official support or a phone with similar hardware specs being officially supported coding the kernel and porting the rom is about 1000x harder since it is being built from the ground up. Be patient it will come just not as fast as usual
We are legion, for we are many.

Gingerbread

I just read an article that said Eric Schmidt (google's ceo for those that didnt know) said Gingerbread would be out soon within a few weeks. I was thinking we should start prepping for the new release of android. Not sure if there are any that we even need to do but thought it would help with the transition.
Gingerbread need 1 GHz and 512 mb of ram at least for working flawlessly...
I think we should settle with stable Froyo at best instead of working on new and as L1qu1d said more resource usage build.

that was all rumored from what i heard, i think its really unlikely that google would intentionally fragment like that, also its not a full release its going to be a 2.3 so i doubt it will be too much more drastic, i agree though i would much rather get the kernel stable on froyo and fix its bugs before we get too heavily into anything else.

I'm pretty sure that it was a rumour. Android 3.0 which was supposed to be called gingerbread was rumoured to need 1Ghz and 512 ram and since gingerbread now is android 2.3 it should run fine on our devices.
Yeah from what I read on the wiki it only looks like a few additonal features and that is it. None of which would need that much power. I think the only requirement we need is the .35 kernel finished. I might be wrong though.
Well since i'm not a dev or cook, i have no rights or opinions but kyles is right i just prefer and stable froyo with no errors at all, with a least pic camera fully functioning.
well gingerbread is out perhaps we should try compiling it for our phone, it's supposedly snappier but who knows, would it be able to run on an old kernel?
i mean when we moved from eclair to froyo it did fix somethings (while creating new problems) like video playback, i dont know anything about compiling our libs but this doesn't seem to be a huge jump, more of just refinements
I would imagine Cyanogen is going to finish 6.1 here shortly and start on 7 which should be gingerbread. As far as Hot Gingerbread (yeah my own title for it lol since we had fresh froyo) we should be able to compile it. Oh and I was able to run froyo on the .25 kernel until we had the .32 kernel. I think we should be able to run it on .32 as the changes arent that drastic.

Nice, welcome in the club I bought mine in October '07, except for a crack to the side of the casing it's as good as new How much did you pay for the replacement casing? Link please.
Got mine in March '08, and even after plenty of drops, there's only a slight casing break around the power button on the side, and the USB port isn't as reliable as it once was. Otherwise, a solid handset.
i will be trying out gingerbread on my hero in a few short moments
I got my kaiser in 2010 lol. Got it from my father 2nd hand after I had my ppc 6700 running WM 6.5 get bricked due to a bug. Basically the bug was that if it was sync'd on a exchange network that locked the device with a pin. Eventually that pin would stop working and wipe the device. Normally thats not bad but somehow when it wiped itself it killed the phones radio. So it was essentially just a big ugly PDA after that lol. My father bought an Iphone about a year ago and retired his tilt so I asked for it and he gave me it. After I got it I quickly hard spl'd it and unlocked it. Afterwards I found out it could run android and so I put it on there and that started my work with android developemet. My father said he would have not given me the tilt and given me his iphone if he knew it could run android lol.
i got my vogue in 2008 (right around the time is was discontinued) my manager at sprint had gotten one after he had too many problems with his Razr2 (he complained to sprint almost daily about it) he got the phone and hated it, when i found out about skyfire (Flash videos on a phone!) i knew it was time to retire my centro and get some WinMo, so i bought it off him really cheap (like $75 bucks at the time was really low) and the screen blanked out so i had to get a reconditioned one before i could use it and that thing was a champ i used it constantly (even running android 1.0 and 1.1) till i got a treo pro then i used that till warm donut came out then i was back with my vogue till this summer when i got my hero

its ok its really limited right now, but it boots i can make calls (audio doesnt work) and text and that stuff data works but the browser FC's the market has like no apps in it because nothing has a gingerbread ID yet and stability is crap at best. i switched back to froyo just for the usability but it does mean that once the source code gets dropped it will be decently easy to get up and running.

[Q] Gingerbread question

Just curious: As an EVO user, I've had Gingerbread on my phone for about two months now, but there isn't a 2.3 Epic ROM to be found. Is there really no work being done for 2.3 for the Epic yet? Forgive me if there's something I don't understand, I'm obviously not a dev and don't fully understand what goes into building something like that.
Thanks!
Search next time there are at least a dozen pointless threads asking this exact same question and getting the same answer. NO, the source code literally dropped less than a week ago and no other phone is even vaguely similar to ours with source to build drivers from.
Where is the TROLL SPRAY?

Oh I'm sorry, you guys are so right. I'm such a douche bag. Obviously if I use the search function and look for Gingerbread and 2.3 I get TONS of results that... oh, wait... I get nothing. Interesting as that's THE SAME THING I GOT LAST NIGHT WHEN I SEARCHED!
Still, I do appreciate your answer 063... glad the source finally dropped. Yet another reason why I would never personally buy a Samsung device, but for my wife it's fine.

Not to sound troll-y, but source for our froyo update dropped a couple days before the update itself. HTC doesn't do that very often.
Short answer: We're working on it. Expect to see some early testing builds here in the next week or two.
The source for 2.2.1 was released for epic, not 2.3/2.4

Oh, interesting. I assumed he meant that the source for 2.1 only now FINALLY dropped... but it was 2.2, huh? Interesting. Well, I would commend them if their update weren't bricking phones. Maybe they SHOULD wait until they are 100% certain that the release is solid before dropping the source on the world.

Virus roms on epic?

I'm coming from the evo side of the market, and i really like the synergy, virus roms,.... Especially the eternity tom on the 3d
Any idea if the team is planning on making roms for the epic? Or are they strictly htc fans?
virus roms rule!!!
dude virus rocks!!! i was using his roms when i had my evo 4g i even donated!! synergy is sick i do hope they come over and do great stuff over here!!
I've noticed that development for this device is alot slower, if you will, compared to the Evo and Evo 3D. I'm glad to see lithid here tho, looking forward to him bringing either AOSP or CM7 to the ET4G. I must say using Touchwiz is much better than Sense (not a sense fan), so this makes waiting easier.
I would take any Rom to play with at this point tho. There's like only 2

Actually, I don't agree; the e3d took about a month to get permanent root; this device was rooted a few days after release..
Now, the release of lots of custom roms is slower than the e3d, but I am sure 30 days from now, this will be corrected.
Sending some emails to your favorite devs asking them to develop for this is probably a good idea too!

Actually, I dont agree
After the evo 3d was unlocked that same day the forum filled with roms. So you have to take into account the time that the evo 3d was ABLE to flash roms and count from there to compare not go from the day it was released. There were no roms for the evo for like a month because there was no s-off and no way to flash roms hence development was slow. But the day revolutionary was released there was at least 10 roms posted in the first 48 hours after. With our epic touch we were able to flash a couple of days after launch. So in comparison we have a lot less roms for the amount of time we were able flash compared to the # roms the evo 3d had in the same amount of time after it was able to flash roms.
I do agree development seems slower. I think another reason why it may be is because a lot of people used their upgrades to upgrade to the evo 3d and cant make the switch yet because it would just be too costly. But once we see the price drop and/or used units going for sale on ebay and CL this will make the device more available to devs who want the phone but right at this moment it's not feasible to get the phone

I agree with u. The evo3d was a lot harder to find root. This phone was not. I hope more developers get this phone. I came from the epic and we didn't have a lot of developers. They were awesome though. Hopefully it picks up.
Sent From My Evo Killer!!!
out of curiosity, how quickly was a stock rom available for the Evo3D?
I'm the type of person that doesn't make any changes unless I can revert back, I didn't root until the stock kernel was available.
also I think that part of the reason development may be a bit slower is that this phone is so much better stock than anything else stock.
Stock + root on this thing is already better (IMO) than any other phone with any other rom.
AOSP and CM7 will be the first roms to be really worthwhile.
On a side note, I'm also a huge fan of Virus.
I think a stock rom was available a day or so after the evo3d was rooted; its hard to remember, because things happened so fast after root with that phone.
Good point about how awe sum this phone is with out root; I was going to root it the first day, but, frankly, after reading all the little quirks people were having initially after rooting, and, the lack or really interesting roms or cm7 right now, I have chosen to wait as well
Lets hope Virus/Myn/Leosright, and Aanikam, and some of the other folks with E3D's get their hands on this phone, or, at least decide to do some roms for it...
No disrespect to the folks that have made the currently available roms/kernels..

I want to say that the official RUU was out before the evo was unlocked but I'm not 100% sure so dont quote me on that. The day my evo 3d was delivered was the day revolutionary was released. So we have been able to flash stuff for about 2 weeks now. In the first two weeks after the evo was unlocked and able to flash there was tons of roms and tweaks (only a few kernels though). So in the first two weeks both phones were flashable there was considerably more development on the evo 3d. I do hope it picks up though I'm waiting for cm 7 so I hope someone from CM picks this phone up so we can get a CM 7 build, if not I'm running it stock until then with adw ex

Mine is, running several different roms. I still have both and it's very noticeable but I am on the stock kernel still. I have no doubts this one will be faster once it's dug into a bit more. While the Samsung gets a better Quad the HTC is much more snappy/peppy.
I haven't tried Zedo's kernel yet though so not sure if it's making a speed difference. There are issues he is still working on with that one. I'm waiting for that one to get all fixed up.

It wouldn't hurt to take into account that this phone is just a mere 2 weeks old and a lot of people are still waiting to receive theirs as they are in a backorder queue. When the 30 days is up, we'll have a better idea how the development will be. It takes time to get developers to a phone, you can't expect them to run straight to Sprint and buy the phone on release day.
It's also worth taking into account that the Evo 3d was the first actually upgraded Hardware platform that had been released with Sprint in almost a year. In that respect the evo 3d had an advantage as their were a lot of users ready to jump ship to a new phone.
It's too bad that Samsprint couldn't get this phone out sooner to be on par with the evo 3d launch. That would have been a site worth seeing and I dont think you would see such heavy development for the 3d, expecially since it shipped with a locked bootloader.

Where is miui & cm7?

Coming from the og evo to this makes me sad ,theres is very little roms or tweaks for this device and most have more problems than the stock does.Wish i could port roms myself but i dont even know where to start.
Wish list:
-Working miui rom
-working cm7 rom
-working sense 3.0 or 3.5 rom
I already know 3 people that have already sold this phone cause of los and countless other minor annoying issuses but mainly no real dev support or even a sign of anything good coming any time soon.i know these things take time but this phone has the worst reception of any sprint phone i have owned to date so its hard to stay positive.Me my wife and 2 other ppl i know have all the same issues so i know its not my handset and we live in nyc where service was great before this phone.im doing my best to hang in here and not go back to my evo.I love everything about my gs2 with exception of cell reception and 3g data speeds and 4g is truly pointless.Anyone know any updates on my wishes?
Can't put a sense rom on this device and Miui is based off CM7. The CM team will be getting our device shortly (if they don't have it already). And Teamwin now has an Epic Touch and they're working on their recovery for it. Samsung cdma devices always make slower progress with development. People either have to be patient or move on.

Almost 2 months (6+ weeks if I recall) until we had CM6 RC1...
...Spoiled EVO4G scener who got in well after release I'd wager.
I had that phone on release day rooted in the RadioShack parking lot and aside from the millions of Fresh based sense roms (or themes, really) until AOSP came around the only interesting things were a smattering of cool kernels (to break the FPS cap, OC, UV, HAVS, etc)...and AOSP took almost 2 months.
OP, If you want it hack it or shut up.
EDIT: I don't mean to come off like a ****, but, a lot of us got very spoiled by the EVO4G scene...that phone was an amazing exception IRT development. I've never seen any phone accrue so much development results in such a short amount of time. I have been phone hopping ever since selling my EVO4G in June and came to terms with that a long time ago. The EVO3D is closer, but still nowhere close. There are millions of (mostly theme-based) ROMS...CM7 is coming along I hear, MIUI as well. I hated that phone, but, if you like Sense I don't know why you would get anything but an HTC. If I get an HTC and hate sense I know eventually I will be able to take it off, but, the opposite isn't anything I would bet on.
You should sell your epic touch and get a ppc6700... Just saying.

25th July 2010, 11:59 PM is when it was originally posted for the Evo. So 2 months, considering the Evo released on June 4th, 2010.
This phone has been out for 6 weeks! I'll go out on a limb here and say your expectations are out of whack dude. And no dev support? I'm sure the guys that have compiled really good kernels and ROMs already really appreciate that. I personally love slaps upside the face. I guess the guys that dev for Android find a way to block out all the BS and whiners and continue to push on for the greater good. I really don't know how they do it.
The funny thing is that the reason the EVO got so much support was it was hands down the best phone at the time.
Now Sprint has choices and with choices means less support on each device.
Just my opinion.
Once someone creates an AOSP kernel, it would help the develoment of CM7, CM9 and MUIMs.
The reason why OG EVO was so popular, because it was given to all the developers during last year Google IO. All the devs had a phone to develop on.
If you want to help, you should on work creating an AOSP kernel, its not a very easy task.
Please close this thread.

[Q] I'm surprised devs are still working on this device

I meandered on to the development section and was quite surprised to see such recent ROMS and developers working on a cell phone that is turning 3 years old in 5 months. Many EVO buyers have had their contracts expire and are able to upgrade to a new phone. There are much faster phones out there, with better specs that are possibly more interesting to develop for, because you might reach a larger user base. My question to the Devs is why are you sticking to the original EVO? Don't get me wrong, I am a current original EVO owner myself so by all means, keep up the good work, just curious as to why you stuck to such an old device.
Simple answer is its fun! Its a great way to get practice and many devs have friends in the forum. So why walk away completely? If you still have it, you can test away on things you try to build.

Sure. Since you don't have service on the phone, it's basically a really small tablet. All the basic functionality will work, and there is always WiFi.

I'm not sure what you're asking. Please, be specific. The ROM is fully functional outside of the things that require new drivers for Android 4.x, i.e. front-facing camera, and WiMAX.

Yep and over on XDA-Developers, it's the most actively dev'd device still. It was the Evo of it's time

It's actually SDX Developers...and yes the Moment was the "Evo" of it's time, sadly however, it's time has passed. I'm a new convert over to XDA from SDX, having to give last rites to my Moment a month ago. Really only one active ROM still being worked on (UberMoment 1.6 - props to TheTehk17 for hanging in there :good: ). They never got a GB Rom fully functional (CM7 was close), all dev was, and still is, Froyo. Major hardware limitations and lack of support will probably keep any further ROM upgrades forthcoming.
Inherited an OG to use for now - great to see all the work being done! Waiting for the arrival of the S4 or M7 for upgrade, until then enjoying the plethora of ROM's available!
Upon upgrade, I will be passing the OG on to any dev here who will continue to put it to good use!

lol.. brain fart
Yeah, I never thought the Moment could successfully run Froyo, unless there was a hybrid Froyo/GB Rom. I dev'd a nice ROM for the Moment, but I think I took all the links down a few months ago.

The devs did a pretty good job porting over Froyo ROMs from the Intercept and Transform, and got those pretty functional. Otherwise, the phone would have been stuck on 2.1 Eclair! As mentioned, they have a somewhat working CM7 - buggy, but it does boot up.! The dev that ported that moved on leaving no one to work out the kinks.
So, for me, I'm like a kid in a candy store with not only GB Roms, but ICS, JB, AOSP.......and Sense too! Hell, I'm in hog heaven
lol. yeah, you can flash a different ROM every day for a year, going back to 2.1 if you wanted to

lol - I might have to hold out on that upgrade until I get this "flashing" urge under control..........
Will be interesting to see when the S4/M7 debuts, how long it takes to get dev going on each
i'm glad dev's have kept this phone up to date its alot of fun
