Re: [ROM] OmegaEVO v1.0 [[NEW 3.30.651.3 OTA]] [[Froyo 2.2]] Updated 11/12/2010

Ok all, here is what is up.

Personally, I am getting the browser FC issue as well. Also, I found the new Android Tether is not working.

So here is what I am going to do: OmegaEVO 1.1 will be coming out that has the above fixed. There will be a full ROM and an update file available (for previous users of OmegaEvo 1.0) so you can update to 1.1 and not have to worry about downloading a full ROM and wipe all your stuff. I will be using this "Update" format rather than full ROM releases (except when a new OTA update is coming and there is a need to redo the whole ROM rather than parts of it.)

Also, OmegaEvo 1.1 is going to come theme-free. This way you can change things with themes and mods instead of being "forced" to have stuff (like the black clock, custom rosie, etc.) A lot more theme options and customization options coming in the next couple of days.

The biggest news is Azrael will be back!
From now on, OmegaEVO is intended for phones running 0004 hardware, Azrael is for 0003 and below. In testing, the 3.29 base works FAR better for older EVO phones than the 3.30.651.2 (and 3.30.651.3) base does. There is even a noticeable speed difference and battery drains much faster with the newer OTAS on older Evos.

I am not a fan of 3.30.xxx.x, probably because I do not have a 0004 hardware version. There will be a separate entry on here for both of the ROMS.

OmegaEVO 1.1 will be released later tonight (or tomorrow morning at the latest). Azrael will be ready by tomorrow night.

If you feel the 3.30 OTA is better for your phone, use Omega (but you are wrong if you are using hardware version 0003, 3.29 will be optimal.)

I tested claims that the new OTA improves the camera and camcorder even on older hardware. Running a series of tests (outside, low light, in my room with my cats modeling for me the older OTA actually seemed to take slightly better pictures on my phone. They look a little clearer and flash seems to be spot on, the new OTA flash seemed to wash out a bit. Most of the pictures look identical though.

3.29 has FAR better battery life on my phone too. With the stock kernel, I was able to last 21 hours (light usage, few long calls, texts, some Angry Birds).

3.30.651.3 with the new HTC kernel #17 eats battery life big time, my phone only lasted 10 hours (little less talking, little more Angry Birds, texts, roughly same amount of usage.) Backing up my findings, look at the last 2-3 pages (on XDA not here ) and you are having people complain of battery life issues and such with the new OTA.

That is because it is not made for our phones, made for HW version 0004. Now if you have that version, bet it will work even better than 3.29 did.
