2. Also, I did the GPS fix, and GPS can locate me and everything. But when I use Maps to navigate, it keeps saying searching for gps, even though it shows my progress on a map. It won't audibly give me turn by turn directions. Is this normal?

Again, I appreciate the work and love the ROM overall.

the voicemail you will need to back it up from a working rom. alot of us have been working on a fix for this for it to work out of the box, nothing yet, but have faith! As for gps, my gps is 100% i flashed to caulkins evio 2 rom and did the trick back at rc2 or 3. i have never had a problem since. instant lock inside or outside, navigation works flawless and is accurate to 3 meters which usualy has me exactly where i am. Im not sure why some people are having problems with gps still. tho i just cooked up rc10 with fixes to bluetooth and 'hopefully' fix to gps.

I use 4G tether quite a bit, so I am hesitant to flash RC9 right now (I used CM4 & CM7 for a while, figured I'd come back when it was a little more stable, as I really like the stock GB AOSP. Honestly I can't remember what rom I'm on, as I switched to SPB Shell (kind of enjoy it) and forgot if I was on a Sense or an AOSP rom.

One borderline noob question -- I hear all this talk about kernels,etc and I really don't know what that means, or how to change them independent of flashing a rom. I generally, download a rom, boot into recovery and flash zip file. I'm not really sure how any of this effects my kernel. My current Kernal version (from settings/about phone) is 2.6.32.17-gee557fd htc-kernel@and18-2 #15. All I know about that is that if I have my phone unplugged, I get about 30 seconds of battery life (I'm exaggerating a little). I would love to try this Timat 3.3.5 but I have no idea what that means, or how to do it.

Can someone help me understand it a little better? Does the flash-fix for Hulu work on this?

tiamat kernel is for aosp roms. you would need a sense kernel.

Kernels are flashed just like ROMs. My understanding is ROMs always come w/a kernel, but other kernels can be used separately. Just search on xda for Evo 4g kernels or Tiamat (most popular GB kernel, it seems). You will find the threads/files no trouble. Always Nandroid before changing anything, but my understanding is you shouldn't hurt anything as long as you have a solid backup. It seems you need to run the kernel for several charge cycles, if not days prior to noticing a change (I have yet to give them that much time).

Stay away from "SBC" kernels until you know more about them. Look for "no-sbc" versions (not hard to find).

I am confused as to whether nand backups backup the kernel or not. I have read conflicting information on this, so if someone else can provide the answer, it would be much appreciated.

Cheers

personally, my honest opinion, sbc is safe.

as stated above, i am not sure if you guys arew missing a step, but gps should be working 100% if the trick has been done. maybe dont restore to a nandroid, and wipe and reflash after the trick.

caulkins evio 2 rom. i confirm it worked perfected.

thanks for the rom anyway.

i have been putting a short changelog in the posts that i have announced a release. maybe i can tighten up a little better and get something going.

hope this helps a little, tho im not sure why most people are having flawless gps and some are flakey. still looking into it. not sure when i am gonna drop rc10 since the last 2 releases have been back to back basically. not trying to overload you guys with updates, but i guess i could upload it if you want.
