I recently installed the JellyBelly ROM v.3 (CM10) on my EVO Shift. I really appreciate the work that the devs are doing on this ROM. I am posting some bugs I encountered after running the ROM for a day. I hope this info helps make the ROM more stable and polished for the entire community. This is my way of giving back right now. Thanks for all the hard work guys!
Green Box During Boot Screen Bug - During boot the HTC screen with white background is displayed for a few seconds, then the boot animation appears. During the transition between the HTC screen and boot animation you can see the HTC screen turns into a green box and fills the upper 30% of the display for a second or two prior to the boot animation starting. This is not a critical bug, yet it may point to a larger underlying video issue in the system. If nothing else, it could give a poor first impression about the ROM quality due to graphic glitches.
Random Screen Freeze/SOD Bug - For no apparent reason the device would lock up and refuse to respond to touch input or pressing the power button. I was forced to remove the battery several times in order to reboot the device. I was unable to establish exactly what caused the lock up, but I was curious if the CPU settings and clock settings might be to blame?
Camera Green Line Bug - After I took a couple pictures I reviewed them in the Gallery app. I immediately noticed that my pictures all had a green line down the left side. I thought that perhaps the stock Camera app was to blame so I installed CameraZoom, a third party camera app as a replacement to the stock Camera app. The result was that the entire upper half of the images taken with CameraZoom app were solid green. I'm not sure if the driver or the app is to blame for this experience.
Facebook App Crash Bug - The Facebook app refused to launch without crashing for me.
I want to run this ROM as my primary ROM, but these issues, except for the Boot Screen Bug, are show stoppers for me. Keep up the great work. I look forward to version 4!
The boot animation thing happens even when there is no boot animation... All the others I have fixed except Facebook, working on that at the moment. Once that is fixed v4 will be up... Facebook seems to be taking up way more RAM than it should The camera line is caused by the 4.2 camera, I took it out and replaced it with 4.1 camera. BTW I got your message, but was unable to respond to it.
Been running this since V2 came out and have seen your issues as well. When the screen locks up I just wait for a minute or so and the current app stops and doesn't require battery pull. Can't wait for those fixes.

Thanks for the info. What was causing the phone to stop responding to input and how did you fix it? Also, do you have a complete list of outstanding bugs that have been reported so far?

Actually you got all the bugs reported except Netflix... I got Facebook working, but now wifi won't turn on
The main issue with JB on the Shift IMO is RAM dispersion, which is mainly what I am working on.
Great info! Also meant to ask, why are there two flashlight applications installed? Why is Flipboard installed by default? Seems like Flipboard is kind of an odd default app.
Because it is a work in progress (I was testing them and forgot to remove one), and flipboard works better than Facebook

Yes, but you'll soon have those issues fixed I'm sure. Looking forward to v4.

Got Facebook fixed, but I don't like how much performance I am having to give up to keep it from crashing... I'm hoping there is a perfect median, I just haven't found it yet. I have noticed quite a bit of difference between launchers also. This is my first dive into JB, so it's been a learning process. Got one more thing to try tonight.
I have had issues with the keyboard. on V3 Im not sure how it will work out with the V4. In most cases i would have to hold the . Shift button instead of just tapping it one to cap a letter. and then it resumes to lower case letters. ive also had to Hold FN to Create symbols instead of tapping just once. to make that symbol. over all it is a great rom i do have by far great expectations of it . i will re-flash once. some of those kinks are out such as the green line on the photos. as far as 4g goes i can careless about it considering the fact that i have no 4g in my local area .
As far as FB Goes i never use it ( Its a relationship killer ) xD
None the less keep up the great work on Deving the Rom .
I look forward to future updates. and maybe a keyboard fix. where it was like originally having it .
( Also random Closing of the browser . Ive had a few on V3 . But as i said im not sure what V4 will have in store for me. )
v4 is up and most of said bugs have been eliminated:sly:
You can post any v4 issues here if you change the title of the thread.
Hey i'm having this weird bug .I recently formatted my device due to lag and random reboot issues and added swiftkey(stock sony was deleted by me earlier)so as the device started i didn't have any keyboard lol so had to send apk via bt and installed it and since then i am facing this bug where ,when i exit an app after typing something let's say whatsapp ,the keyboard doesn't quit ,it just stays on the screen,pressing back , home nothing works,rebooted,wiped cache,deleted app data,app itself ,installed other keyboard as well but still no luck.The only solution i have is open expanded desktop and hid the soft key and then turn it off ,and then the keyboard quits ! I need a solid solution,i can't keep on doing on and off ! Any help would be appreciated!
Hey Guys...
I have this problem week or so, dont knot what causes it. I saw it ONLY while i use wats app and viber.
I thought maybe swift key could be reason because its extremly lagy after recent updates, but it happened with other keyboards too.
Second reason it comes to my mind is changes in developer options i made so phone could run a bit smoother and faster. I changed animation scales to .5x
Thats all i could think of.
When problem ocurs, some time it just stays, top of screen is ok /you can see name of chat partner/ but the rest is flickering. Sometimes its ok then bad again, and it changes in seconds. Sometimes it just stays like that for a seconds...But it always fixes when i touch screen.
This is example, pic is bad but i dont have better, sorry.
What you guys think? I just hope its not hardware issue, but considering it happens only in those 2 apps i hope its not.
Opinions?
Hi there,
So overall not impressed with the 41.2.A.7.35 update. The following bugs are still present:
1. Keyboard touch issues (some consecutive taps recognized as swipes) https://forum.xda-developers.com/xp...41-2-7-8-keyboard-t3627410/page2#post73027800
2. Sony Weather widget still stops displaying “Real Feel” after the phone loses internet connectivity up until the next restart
3. Scrolling through recent calls list still lags like crazy
1. android phones will always have touch issues due to bad touch input delays or whatever especialy Sony devices i know that cuz its present since xperia Z.
2.never noticed if im honest
3.yep stil llaggy and why not fixing it ...come on ...the experience would be mutch better.
iphone simply kills all android phones when it comes to touches and i really dont know what they did to software...probably good optimisation...
the phone RAM is filling like crazy ... lags and performance degrades
OK, so just updated to version .65 and all of the above still applies. Not sure why everyone keeps saying the phone is smoother...
1. Keyboard touch issues still happen
2. Sony Weather widget still stops displaying “Real Feel”
3. Scrolling through recent calls list still lags like crazy
Hi
i have problem with new android 8 ( G8142 )
sometimes scrolling in setting menu or google chrome is not smooth for few miliseconds at first time to touch the screen and scroll
for trying to see you have this issue or not
when you are in setting menu or web browsing with google chrome (it may be exist on other apps)
wait about 5 seconds and do not touch anything ( if i scrolling without wait for few seconds i have not this problem but when i wait for few seconds the problem exist!)
then start to scroll slowly
if you see any lag or non smoothness at first second please report to me
do a few times and different times this test ( wait some seconds - then scroll)
i don't know when it occurs
sometimes i have not this problem but sometimes i have it ( randomly )
it seems to be when phone is idle for example 1 hour and after that i work with it
i have no issue
but when i use phone for a while the issue exist
Nope not in mine

Yes i have a little lag in Chrome... But i make my screen 4k native... And I think its a little hard for processor to Work... I have the same lag even on 7.1.1 fw.. Maybe its a Chrome bug..
