Hey there, I'm new to XDA and am sorry if I break the rules! Don't hurt me!
I'm a straight up noob when it comes to this stuff. So please understand when I'm asking the dumbest things. I've been crawling all over XDA for answers. Maybe I'm not looking correctly.
Anyways, I'm running on the MT4G with Zips Creamed Glacier V3.11 and I've got a bunch of questions and problems.
One of the problems is that I cannot make changes to my notifications tone and calling ringtones! When I try to open them up under settings, it crashes.
The other problem has to do with the trackpad. For hours I thought it would not work, there was a cursor (much like using the trackpad on those old blackberrys) that would not open anything up when clicking it. Then I found that it would click something if I pressed the trackpad while moving it at the same time. Can anyone help me with this or explain it?
If possible, I'd like to revert back to the way it used to be before the cursor added, is there a way to edit/customize the rom? If so, where can I find out about this?
Sorry and thanks in advance! I'm just thoroughly confused
Not sure about the notifications. Probably in the ROM thread. But the trackpad, that's all ICS. No way to remove it, that I know of.
Hello G_O_P,
Zip ICS ROM is currently in beta.
It means you may get some issues.
I'm sure trackpad is not a priority since you have a workaround (use the screen). You can probably report your other issues in dev thread with as much detail as possible to help Zipnet.
If you still have the previous version, you can wipe and flash it to go back. You can try another ICS ROM too.
But, you must know that every ICS ROM are currently in heavy dev. If you absolutely need something without any issues, more back to gingerbread (CyanogenMod or a Sense ROM)

Is there any way to be able to turn on the screen using the trackpad button instead of the power button? On this or other ICS roms?
Thanks

I know this is available in the GB ROMs, but I haven't been able to get it to work on my Glacier with I2IEAILiiTY's edit of CreamedGlacier and IceColdSandwich. I found out from one of the threads that the home button will wake the device (it works on mine). I'm sure it will be in there eventually.
Nice! The home button turns on mine too, thanks for the tip. I'm using IceColdSandwich right now but will probably switch to zips creamed glacier on the next release.
Thanks for your inputs.
And of course in no way am I complaining, I'd love to post in Zips ICS thread, but I can't because I haven't exceeded my ten posts yet.
I'm going to be checking out the other ROMS and play around with them and will check out Zips release when its out!
Thanks again!
If anything, I recommend reverting back to CM7 (TDJ's 7.2 kang is my personal favorite), and then equipping an ICS theme. You get the look of ICS with the stability of Gingerbread.
To get everything looking like ICS, I recommend you download and equip both Kovdev's ADW ICS theme and Sonny Sekhon's ICS CM7 theme from the Play Store (I hate that new name ). I'm sticking to Gingerbread until the devs iron out all the kinks, which I'm sure they will do soon enough.

I just got the eris on the 20th of july. I had heard that HTC was really good but I have started running in to problems.
I rooted and I am using evil eris rom 3.0. I noticed yesterday that the awake button started not working after further investigation I noticed I could tap on the side and it would wake up.
Also just noticed today that was getting pretty hot and using the battery significantly. only lasted 5 hours.
I am considering returning the phone as I have 30 days.
Anyone have any Ideas
Search through the forums for specific problems you are having, then trouble shoot. Have you reflashed the ROM? Tried any others? Did you do a nandroid backup, if so have you tried a restore? The phone could be complicated so if you don't want to put in the effort id recommend returning it.
Sent from my Eris using XDA App
Did you ask your question in the Evil Eris thread ? Maybe others running the same ROM are having similar issues.
yeah, I tried two other roms for a short time I liked this one the best. At first I didnt have any problems.
Are you suggesting i wipe this flash then reflash it again.
Also are you suggesting I restore the original.
Ive been searching just Havent found anything yet.
I really would like some input on if you guys think I should work through this with the phone. Are these phones reliable and such I dont mind tweaking it a little to get it right. But I dont want to have constant problems
HTC does make great phones. However, you shouldn't base your opinion of the phone off of hacking into it and modifying it (especially being a less-than-a-week-old first-time HTC owner who hasn't done a lot of footwork to troubleshoot the issues).
Yes you should wipe and reflash the rom and see if that does anything. If that doesnt help, do a restore (supposing you did a back up). Also a lot of these roms are over clocked so the phone can get hot from using it a lot especially if its on the charger.
Since you rooted your phone, you have void your warranty. Basically if verizon decides to check the software builds and whatnot and discovers you have rooted, you might not get another phone. There are threads on how to unroot your phone, so I suggest doing that before you return it if you decide to.
Also I might suggest sense able 3.1 very stable rom

Hey bud thanks for the positive feedback. Your help is greatly appreciated.
I do really like the phone. You know all that power in such a small package. Thats the reason for these forums I believe so that we can help eachother.
Ill try that and see what happens.
I really hated my eris until i started using froyo based roms.. They are a bit buggy especially the camera but well worth the effort even if just for battery life. I went from 15-20% lose an hour to 5-8% unless i use alot of data.. then its more like 10-12%.

Just as the Title asks. I've looked but some threads are really old. So what do you guys think?
Also, what is THIS lock screen!? It's awesome and I love it!!!!!
Thanks in advanced guys and gals!!! Another thing i was looking for was those backgrounds with those sexy girls wearing headphones and it looks all artsy and ****. cant find the plain backgrounds anywhere....
Well the most important thing to know: a new build gets released every Friday form the Chinese team, then a English team ports it to EVO usually over the weekend for a weekend release. So every week there's a new build.
Latest _English_Port_ is 1.14 ... but 1.21 just got released today (revs are by date) BUT the Chinese team found a bug and is supposed to be releasing a patch tomorrow. The MIUI team responsible for porting the weekly builds apparently already ported the 1.21 but isn't posting it as a official build yet as they are waiting to see what the original dev team is releasing as a patch first.
I would say the current 1.14 is easily the most stable build, the new 1.21 coming out has some UI changes, so it could actually introduce bugs, but only time will tell. Honestly though MIUI has come a long long way.
I really like MIUI rom but not having multitouch on the gingerbread keyboard kills it for me. Hopefully they can get it working soon.

This 1.7 seemed to run the best for me with the included kernel 1.14 had a lot of reboots. I loved the UI and the built in extras like the traffic monitor and the blacklist options but found it too unstable for me. I went to evervolv 2.3a15 and love it so far. Gps doesnt track as well as miui but its an apples oranges comparison. Basically if you can get a stable daily driver miui going on your evo then enjoy olit. The thread in the general section has a lot of believers for sure.
so far 1.14 has been the most stable for me, but myself and many others have been experiencing a problem where whoever we are talking to hears an echo of their voice. The devs are gonna try to work that out for the next build which should be awesome. I'd wait till the final of 1.21 is released.

Okay, so after looking over MIUI and the themes and lockscreen mods I REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY RREEAALLLLYY WANT IT!!!!!
But...there's just one problem...
After looking over the directions, and the HBOOT S-OFF thing, nothing seems certain. So many different sites and threads say that some this way doesn't work, this way breaks your 4G, and I can not for the life of my find out how to simply just get MIUI on my flipping Evo! To be honest, from everything I've looked up so far it looks like a ****ing death trap. No joke.
And whats up with partial English? From what I've seen things look like they're in English. How much is still in Chinese?
Is there anyone out there that can show me (or tell me) a very direct way and not an "iffy" way of flashing MIUI. I have Clockwork and I don't know how to check to see if I have S-OFF. I got my Evo 4G the day it came out, so does that mean the way I rooted it back then turned S-OFF for me?
I thought S-OFF was only for people who got the new OTAs and couldn't root their Evos.
I'm sorry but MIUI ust confused the HELL out of me and I'm so willing to take a leap of faith because I want it so bad, but bricking or messing up my Evo ust isnt worth it. Help anyone?
My whole ROM is in english. I'm using the current stable release and it's the best ROM I've used after UD.
The one thing I noticed is that my 3G speeds seem to be slower. I'm on wifi a lot so it isn't too big if a deal but still annoying.

Well, if you have flashed a custom recovery(Clockwork), then I think you must have s-off. The easiest way to check your s-off status is to turn your phone off, then reboot by holding down power+volume-down. The phone will boot into the h-boot screen. At the top will be several pieces of info including your s-off or s-on status. Make sure you do not have any custom roms or other .zip files in the main directory on your sd card before you do this as the hboot will try to flash it when it detects it.
The very first post in the general forum has a lot of really good info as well. Another excellent helpful resource is the IRC channel for the Evo. The link is in the post.
S-off just means security off, by the way. You can't flash custom roms or other stuff until you have s-off.

Wow. That cleared up quite a bit! I'm pretty sure I have a few custom ROMs in the main directory of my SD but when I flashed HBOOT it didn't automatically do/flash anything. I checked and I had S-OFF, I guess it was obvious.
So MIUIs flash ust lke any other ROM...?
comment to ur comment earlier- the most up-to-date "stable" rom is always going to be the that they have stickied.

yes they just flash like a normal rom. But since they do release an update almost weekly, it would be hard to do a complete wipe everytime and titatium back up everything. so miui already has a Miui Backup program in it that will make changing to the next release go smoothly without much of a hassle.
I flashed the MIUI ROM last night and my phone rebooted on its own like a handful of times when I was sleeping. I kept hearing the vibrate sound and seeing the white "HTC EVO 4G" screen like when you first turn on the phone. NOT happy!!
I had the same thing happen to me I love the rom but that's why I went back to my warm rom

Make sure in WiFi setting you have it set to never sleep while on Wifi and your reboots should go away.

probably won't, but it never hurts to do a backup before trying it. Got a link? I can try it on mine and report my results.
Edit: I'm running Typhoon CM7, which is a port from Bravo (desire I believe), whereas GBX is built from source for HD2, so some things may be different (although I doubt it).
Edit 2: just tried it, it didn't blow up my ROM. It kind of works I guess? I'm not sure what the original lockscreen looked like because I always used a lock pattern, but see screenshots. BTW there is a zip for HD2 LEO nightlies, so I'm going to try that next and post results.
Yeah it worked for me too, its not gbx, its the,cm7 pongster has released as well. Its not exactly like honeycomb, it just takes the rotary and changes it to look like honeycomb, I wanted the lock icon with circle, the drag in any direction.
Sent from my HTC HD2 using Tapatalk
yeah that's what I thought the HC lockscreen was, so I wasn't sure what was going on with the lockscreen I was getting. Either way, isntalling via CWM sent me into a boot loop.
I downloaded metamorph and went that way, worked for me, but not exactly what I was hoping it was going to be, maybe,the discusion will get rolling,though. I hate slide, rotary is ok, I did the lock pattern but my gf complains she cant go through my phone to see if im messin around with other girls lol.
Not sure what it woulf take to do it. It looks like he had to use rotary, then just changed the png files so the "images" looked similar, but how it works probably takes a little tp build..

Also whats ics passion based on?
So would it be all ics or just CM9? Nexus ports? Aosp? Gsii?

Passion is based off CM9. All I know is people who have been using Passion have been getting that encryption crap; so if I were you I'd flash back to either a froyo rom or a GB rom just to be safe until devs can break this crap.
Never even heard of this bug, try other ics roms like euphoria or iczen
Sent from my SGH-T959 using xda premium
From what I can gather it is totally and completely random. I have seen it on Passion, CM9, Docmasters' AOKP, and one case on Zen. It is happening more frequently on Captivates, however just yesterday there was a thread in my tablet (OG Transformer) where it hit a guy on his tablet (rooted but stock ROM).
So far what I know is it runs an encryption process (which is normal) and your phone is supposed to throw out a standard key. But for some reason it skips this and bc of small skip, the encryption begins. That is what is locking up the internal SD. Everything is still there, you just can't get to it. If it happens, there is no way to stop it or recover from it. There is a way to repartition your external_sd to make your phone think it is the internal and install your apps there plus whatever you put on it (pix, music,videos,...).
Sucks!!! I put a big warning in my ICS guide to say that if the error is thrown, DO NOT HIT RESET and a link to the fix but it is happening to everyone from noobs to experienced users.
Here is the thread in the Cappy forums on the workaround.
[Guide] Encryption Unsuccessful - Reset Android [ICS Issue]
The guy who it happened to on the Zenwich ROM was able to use the above as a workaround but his internal is shot/locked up.
It is a real scare and no one knows how it starts or why or how to stop it and should be a real consideration on whether or not to flash ICS ROMs.
Thanks guys.. i guess im switxhing back to gb or froyo
So its an ics thing i guess?

For 100% stability you have to use Gingerbread ROM, IMHO. I loved LeeDroid, it is really fast and stable.
First, wrong section. Remember, if you are asking a question it goes over the Q&A.
Stick with a gb rom for stable, near bug free. If you want ICS, aospX by existz over the inspire section. The only bug it has is garbled text which is an ICS issue and not due to his rom. The fix is to reboot. It happens rarely. If it happens again, just exit the app and go back in. However, it rarely happens after the first time which as mentioned before, is fixed with a reboot.
Sent from a dream.
Yes, if you want 100% working you're going to have to use ginger bread. However, if certain features aren't too important to you, then pretty much any rom will do it, there are more than plenty to choose from, although my signature (which incidentally needs updating) has a few to start with

Like xxkid123's signature, I also used MIUI (GB) for ages and recommend it for no-nonsense smoothness on the Desire HD.
I used and always went back to miuiandroid_DHD-2.4.20.zip.
Be sure to know or have a backup of your APN first, so that you can type that in or restore it with any (GB) rom you might flash.
I used to use APN Backup & Restore which only fully works (including restore) with Gingerbread. You can see some instructions via Google Play.
Next thread of that kind closed. Look a bit down the list and you will find some more. One more time: These kind of threads will always be closed eventually as the experiences of the users just differ so much that there will be no result. In contrary sooner or later these threads always end in flaming.
Just try some roms, like thousands before you did, and you will find your favorite.
