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

Hey all. Been a while since my last release of s3vo for the evo which was sense based, but I really wanted to start learning android and have a better perspective of it. I decided to dig a bit more into compiling android. Started horsing around with github and learned to start compiling my own builds from aosp wih the help from cmsrc, evervolv, and a few others githubs. Since the release of gingerbread to aosp, i moved away from sense. There are things that i do miss about sense, but the usability of the phone without it is just unmatched imho. Many people use or have used cyanogenmod. IMHO is a great open source project that has some of the best devs out there. I have always been more into the 'vanilla' look opposed to the themed and aftermarket. Recently i have been compiling gingerbread for the evo and mt4g and have had nothing but the best reviews. Basically the reason why i am here. Wondering if there was any interest in a few of my builds. Main reason from moving away from CM6/7 (cyanogenmod), ADW launcher and the extra added bloat and themes. Currently as i look at my phone, my battery stats have me at 31 hours and counting with 15% left. So battery life as you can tell was one of my main concerns. Everything works!!!


1.3 build is based off 2.3.7. (Thanks cm team) and cm kernel 2.6.37.6 (thanks cm team). And YES it has Wimax AND HDMI Mirroring. (thanks teamwin)

1.0 build is based off 2.3.3. (Thanks cm team) and cm kernel 2.6.37.4 (thanks cm team). And YES it has Wimax AND HDMI Mirroring. (thanks teamwin)

There is *nothing* that doesnt work anymore on 1.0 and now 1.2. If an app that you are used to using from a 2.2/sense rom doesnt work, chances are that app hasnt been recompiled for gingerbread. Please bug the app author and not me :D






Special Thanks to: CyanogenMod Team, and Team Win, where most of the source came from, preludedrew and evervolv team, which helped me tremendously get my feet off he ground with android. And the originals, Calkulin, No2Chem, GGuruUSA, Colonel00, Conflipper, AstainHellbring, LennySH, NexVision, CLHatch, Chainfire, JooJooBee666, and Polargoat for putting up with me for many years and always helping me out.

Loving it so far... thanks again

Re: [3-6-11][ROM] gingerbread-evo-deck [beta7][WIP]
 

very nice rom. i am missing the stock google talk application. the other google applications are there (market, maps, etc.). i can't find it in the market either.

Re: [3-6-11][ROM] gingerbread-evo-deck [beta7][WIP]
 

can we see some screenshots?

Re: [3-6-11][ROM] gingerbread-evo-deck [beta7][WIP]
 

looks good Deck....figured it was time to check out GB :)

I did run into one issue during the install of GAPPS-20110306.zip. The updater-script was trying to delete /system/app/soundback.apk but it wasn't there. I checked the gingerbread-evo-deck-b7.zip and sure enough it was missing. I modified the updater-script & now it runs. If anyone else has this issue, you can run this modified version of GAPPS-20110306.zip.

also, if u want a reserved post #2 or 3, just let me know & I'll take care of it.

Re: [3-6-11][ROM] gingerbread-evo-deck [beta7][WIP]
 

Thanks OMJ, I ran into this when I flashed the gapps file from the first post.

This rom is pretty cool...is anyone else having issues with GPS? When I use the mobile network for my location I get a lock, but when I use GPS my location isnt detected...theres isnt even a GPS icon on the top bar next to the clock if theres supposed to be one. Thanks for the rom, keep up the good work.

Re: [3-6-11][ROM] gingerbread-evo-deck [beta7][WIP]
 

screenshots when you get time please.

Re: [3-6-11][ROM] gingerbread-evo-deck [beta7][WIP]
 

I just tried it, and love it so far. Just a couple questions -- swype? hulu? is the tether "cloaked"?

Thanks! I love to be able to keep with those pesky Nexus 1 users who just got Gingerbread (at a much faster 4G speed!)

-Al

Re: [3-6-11][ROM] gingerbread-evo-deck [beta7][WIP]
 

Swype can be installed, hulu will work with the flash fix, and tether is safe.

As in for the gapps, my fault, i threw them together quite fast when i updated them. I didnt even sign the zip! :x

Also, i removed talk, because i HATE it running in the background whenever it wants. i personally use trillian for my instant messaging, and it supports gtalk. I attached GTalk.apk for those who want it.

As for gps, i havent ran into the problem myself, but someone told me that they had to turn gps off and back on and it fixed their locking issue. In GB, there is no icon like froyo showing that gps is turned on. you only get the occasional gps locking icon. Hope this helps.

@OMJ, thanks for the gapps catch, id like to talk more with you sometime about aosp + sense. If you know android's sense pretty well, we may be able to link up and get it going. Basically we would need all the rosie files, libs, etc, and the kernel modules and commits from htc. tho, there is a dump of GB and sense floating around, but i believe its a gsm test rom for the desire HD. either way, we would be able to look through it if we ran into some problems.

Re: [3-6-11][ROM] gingerbread-evo-deck [beta7][WIP]
 

Rite on, but for some reason I still couldnt get a lock on GPS. I went back to my Nandroid back up earlier, but Im about to flash this ROM again and give it another shot.

Re: [ROM][WIP] gingerbread-evo-deck [beta6]
 

OMJ,
I've been running your rom since I rooted my EVO. Until I found Cyanogen. Not to knock your ROM because I think it is the best Sense ROM out there, but with ROM sizes of like 80M, you can see where CM7 is sooo much lighter. It shows too. I miss Sense, a little, but I think I've turned the corner. I've added the widgets to my desktop to do what I need. Also, stuff just works better. I've got a ton of apps installed and it still has plenty of memory (yes using Apps2SD) and BT and Voicedialer, IMHO, work better with the lower overhead.

I hope you "turn the corner" and join the Dark Side. I think you could make a great contribution to some kick ass software.

Re: [3-6-11][ROM] gingerbread-evo-deck [beta7][WIP]
 

ha i barely started with this rom and I'm already impressed with how the screen turns off when i push the power button........i'm easy to impress =D>

EDIT: I noticed when I used Titanium Backup to restore my missing apps + data, my notification sounds were not working. I go into sound in the settings menu but it force closes. I went back to a NAND backup I made before putting this ROM on and ran it again. The sound menu works before I use titanium backup and does not force close. Is there an app or something going on that makes the sound not work? The media volume works and sound does come out of the speaker, it just doesn't notify me of incoming texts

Re: [3-6-11][ROM] gingerbread-evo-deck [beta7][WIP]
 

This is sweet, great work!! Playing around with it a bit and the only thing I miss is Sense... Been carrying around HTC Sense in one form or another since my Touch Pro... I feel so lost! Anyways, great work on Gingerbread!

Re: [3-6-11][ROM] gingerbread-evo-deck [beta7][WIP]
 

I was really liking the rom, but it was saying that my storage card was corrupt, need to reformat, and I was like "he__ no!" so I flashed another rom.

Re: [3-6-11][ROM] gingerbread-evo-deck [beta7][WIP]
 

that would be great, but unfortunately I don't know Sense indepth enough....if I did, I'd have a Sense 2.1 ROM, lol.

Yeah, there's been a few leaks of GB w/ Sense, but yeah I think they're GSM. Hopefully we'll see some cdma leaks soon, or even a EVO leak :)

thx, but I doubt that will happen.....30min after running decks rom I was already in withdrawl of Sense & had to go back

I was getting the same thing....

Re: [3-6-11][ROM] gingerbread-evo-deck [beta7][WIP]
 

I have a 16gig card so I wasn't liking that message, especially since the card is almost full and loaded with things I don't want to lose.

Re: [3-6-11][ROM] gingerbread-evo-deck [beta7][WIP]
 

Got the same message, luckily I didnt have to reformat my sd and was able to restore my previous rom.

Lol, sense is a whole lot prettier.

I still couldnt get GPS to lock so I'm back to a 3.70 rom. I did like the look of the sms, mail, dialer and all the built in goodies were cool too. I wish GPS would lock, I really wanted to test the battery life. If there was an update or final release for this rom, I'll give it another shot.

Re: [3-6-11][ROM] gingerbread-evo-deck [beta7][WIP]
 

I have a 16gb card and it works fine for me.... gps locks sometimes but doesnt stay locked.... im missing sense a little but im liking everything else... the battery life is amazing... 8.5 hrs off charge ...over 1.5 hrs of talk time with bluetooth and im at 70% battery with the Seidio 3500 mAh battery... cant wait for GB Final

Re: [3-6-11][ROM] gingerbread-evo-deck [beta7][WIP]
 

I don't know if this happened to anyone else but there is a notification that won't go away. It says Voicemail pending: Tap here to call voicemail. I have no voicemail and I can't clear it. I have the voicemail from titanium backup but it won't connect to the server it says. Any tips?

Also, when I tried to install swype, the website said "Sorry, this is not an android phone" I can live without swype though.

Re: [3-6-11][ROM] gingerbread-evo-deck [beta7][WIP]
 

I cant get my notification sounds to work?

Re: [3-6-11][ROM] gingerbread-evo-deck [beta7][WIP]
 

i followed the instructions and flashed the rom
upon the reboot,the white evo 4g screen sat there for about 15 minutes.
i pulled the battery and tried to reboot and after a few minutes gave up and flashed back to my old rom.
any suggestons?

Re: [3-6-11][ROM] gingerbread-evo-deck [beta7][WIP]
 

Did they stop working or did they not even work at all? I had this same problem but the notifications stopped working after I used titanium backup and restored my missing apps. I don't know if this will work for you (because I did this with Titanium Backup) but when I restored my missing apps I unchecked every app that had HTC in the name and restored all my other apps e.g. Quickoffice, htc widget etc... I did this on my second round of this ROM and notifications are working.

GPS Problems ?
 

:protest: Sup People, 1st post@geeks, this what I did to get GPS to work.
1. Go to... settings/location & security, and make sure "use wireless networks & use GPS " boxes are unchecked.

2. Download Cache Cleaner NG from market. Open application, check mark the SD box & run "clean now"

3. Open maps app, new window should open click on settings and takes you back to..settings/location & security, checked mark boxes & agree "use wireless networks & use GPS satellites "

4. Back out to maps, click menu/directions and in end point box enter a zip code: 90012 or whatever, click on GO,

5. then click Blue GPS triangle in upper right corner and you're done.

I have tested this many times without any issues. Good luck

Re: GPS Problems ?
 

it wont stay locked on, drops the gps lock 23 sec after it locks

Re: GPS Problems ?
 

Tried it and but my GPS is constantly searching...I turned off USE WIRELESS NETWORKS and GPS on, its as if my GPS hardware isnt detected, CoPilot Live doesnt detect GPS either. Thanks, its was worth a try.

Re: [3-6-11][ROM] gingerbread-evo-deck [beta7][WIP]
 

rc1 is being pushed back due to the gps issue. I wont release rc1 until it is fixed 100%. today or tomorrow.
