[10-11-11][ROM] gingerbread-evo-deck [1.3][2.3.7 Stable] #Stablistic

[urvi]

Well flashed to this last night from fresh's rom. So far its pretty good. The only thing i have ran into is that when i try and bluetooth a file (.apk in this case) from my mac to my evo it instantly fails. My screen will light up for a split second then it turns right off. I never get the chance to hit "I accept" on my phone.

On a side not, and this is purely for aesthetics, is there a way to make the notification bar transparent?

Thanks for the hard work!

Great job Deck. I am not sure about a couple things. I have a version 004 Evo and usually do not have issues with the camera but i have wiped several times and reloaded the rc9 version of this rom and everyime i launch the camera it FC on me. Also, I notice there is no file folder or hot spot/tethering app. Curious what do people do to get their backups back on their phone (do they just redownload a file folder app each time they flash or is there another way since i already have astro.apk on my sd card and didnt want to have to redownload it). Is there a way to get the sprint hotspot app? Thanks

I came back after a few days off, still looking for the prefect GB ROM. This seems to be it - once the GPS is fixed. Came from a SENSE ROM with fully functional GPS that would lock inside my house - once again on this ROM, no go on the GPS - even after doing the "fix" before leaving the SENSE ROM. I will keep checking back - because I find everything else on this ROM perfect. Thanks!

My GPS still sucks and when I make a phone call I have to press and unpress mute in order for anyone to be able to hear me. Im on RC9 with the same issues that I had with RC7 and RC8. I have done full wipes and have also flashed back to other ROMs and not had these issues. Also what happened to the ability to update stuff like PRL and the ability to use ##DATA#? I cant use any ## codes.

Is it possible for you to maintain a changelog to see if it's really worth it to update to the latest build?
thanks for the rom anyway.

1. I keep getting a "V30 voicemail error", and the voicemail icon won't go away. Can I use the voicemail.apk that is on the first page to fix this, or do I need to backup a working one and restore that?

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.

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.

Sure, upload it. I was just about to flash!

The last one I flashed was rc7 and my GPS was fine (post-fix), but I still had problems with 4G cutting out for no reason. The icon would stay lit, but after several minutes the connection would drop and wouldn't reconnect until after a reboot. I flashed back to OMJ's Froyo rom and this problem went away.

I'll try your next drop and see what happens.

[rushco]

I say release RC10 and give us the option to upgrade. Are you incorporating all the latest commits from the CM nightlies into RC10 or not?

[teejay89]

Kernelgate update- Tiamat 3.3.5 has given me hope. 6 hours off the charger at work- 67% battery life. Going to turn 4G on and see how that drains this last 2 hours

[Aloupha]

I'll wait till RC10. Everything is working the way they should except for GPS as some others have reported. I did the fix, but the problem continues.
