[ROM] 9/3/2010 | New Sprint OTA 3.28.651.1 | Stock, rooted, update.zip

This is a stock (rooted) copy of the 3.28.651.1 OTA that Fresh Evo 3.2 is based on.
The only changes from stock are:
Made in to an update.zip format so that you can flash it, and an update script was created
Added superuser, busybox, apps2sd, and the necessary mods to the ramdisk to make them all work
Other than that it's untouched. This is so that others can use this same base for whatever purpose that they want. This is not any type of rom that I'll be maintaining or supporting, that's what Fresh Evo is.
Enjoy!

What are the changes?
Thanx.

might test this one day

It has a new kernel that has better battery life than previous stock kernels.

So far having serious issues with data connection. On initial setup, it took 6 tries to get gmail account linked, and 3 tries with another e-mail account. Trying to access market now and it's taking an obscenely long time to load. First time I tried to access market the connection timed out.
Now searching for apps on market and connection keeps timing out. Guess I gotta go back to my 3.26 backup. Man I wanted better battery life.
Update: Finally got market to find Titanium Backup. It's downloaded 148KB in 5 minutes so far. lol

So is there any changes from the donor version to the official released ver.

Looks like it might not be this update's fault. Just restored my nandroid backup and connection is still messed up. Sync is crapping out too.

I haven't had any issues so far. I haven't tried logging into Twitter yet though, but I did receive an e-mail stating they were going to change the way apps
have to login, so maybe this has somethingto do with that?

The HTC twitter app crapped out on me yesterday with same error and I'm using a stock evo not rooted. I went and got another twitter app and all is well so I don't think this error has much to do with rom.

My gps and htc weather work fine, its was just the htc Peep app. Btw, my software is 3.26.651.6. Hopefully I can work up the stones to root my phone this weekend.

Correct. Peep access to Twitter is a problem with the Peep software on ANY ROM, even on stock, non-rooted. HTC is working to address this problem.
Not sure about the other problems, though.

I haven't flashed the new rom yet, on stock deodexed and my weather gps hasn't updated since yesterday. I've been syncing it every so often since about 7pm last night when I got home from out of town. It still works fine for maps so I think it's a system wide problem for htc weather, like peep.

Ok... downloaded from different link and didn't wipe before flashing and GPS weather works. First try did full wipe and had poor result. Now to test battery life.
btw... Twitter acknowledges issues with some 3rd party clients not working.

[Fix]- VVM on all sense 3.5 Roms

Ok, I love all of the new roms we've had our great developers dropping on us. But on most of the 3.5 roms sprints visual voicemail doesn't work, due to sprint not having an offical 3.5 rom we have to use other carriers ports.
Anyways I figured out a way to get vvm to work on any 3.5 rom, here you go;
1. Have a titanium backup of a working vvm (with a couple voicemails on it)
2. Restore it to whatever 3.5 sense rom you want.
3. Reboot into recovery wipe cache,dalvik then flash attached .zip file.
4. Once phone is rebooted, install the attached .apk.
Let me know if anyone has issues!, I've tested this on a few different 3.5 roms, works fine on all of them.
Note- I have had a couple of times after flashing different fixes that it breaks vvm, if you get force closes, just reinstall the .apk and it will work again.
*****DO NOT UPGRADE TO NEWER VVM, YOU WILL HAVE TO REDO EVERYTHING OVER AGAIN IF YOU DO!!*****

I don't quite understand the issue here. I'm running PrimeXL 3.5 ROM and my VVM works just fine. Unless you are referring to the text feature that comes along with it?
Is there something else to it?

Yeah, it's weird. I think some of the 3.5 roms are based on different baseboards, like I was having issues getting newtoroots/mik's 3.5 roms to playback directv's sunday ticket app, which I paid for so on sundays I'd flash back to mikg so I could use it.
But it seems like some 3.5 rom's have working vvm, and some dont. It will try to provision the app, but it ends up producing a "general failure".
This fixes that on the other 3.5 roms that it won't work on.

I dont use VVM but i know one of my friends that does. I'll pass the info along. Good work!!!

Sounds great man will take this into consideration man thanks.

It was my understanding that all you had to do was flash to a 3.0 ROM, let VVM provision, do a TB of VVM and data, flash the 3.5 ROM, and restore VVM using TB. So what are the 2 attachments for?

I'm not sure this really "fixes" anything, as once it flashes, VVM does a FC and I have to re-install. A simple backup-restore with TB works just fine, IMO.

David- That used to work on many of the 3.5 roms, but as things have changed and gotten upgraded in certain 3.5 roms, it somehow broke that way of restoring vvm services, but if it works for you or anyone else then absolutely stick with doing that, it just didn't work for me.
Gyro- I tried to just install the vvm.apk but for me on any rom I tried to do that on it wouldn't work unless I did it in the way I listed above, trust me I wouldn't of posted all of that stuff if it wasn't necessary.

Easy way to change that;
When you get one of those messages open it up and press menu, then click "block messages", then it will ask you for a password. Just enter any password that you want (make sure you remember it)
Then it should start blocking all of the 9016 messages.

No, it does not work with the new vvm app. It will give you the "generic failure" message if you upgrade and it won't provision your vvm.

I tried this fix on Radiance RC-2. Radiance came with VVM but wans't sure if it was working and what not. I restored from TB my VVM (the one updated by sprint) and then got a voice mail today, didn't work. So I ran the fix (had it sitting on SDCard) and it reverted it back to old voice mail, then asked me to update, so I went ahead and updated and sent myself a voice mail. No go.
As I can see in this thread that there is an issue with the new VVM and it not working on 3.5 anyhow. So how would I go about fixing this? Should I restore my VVM from TB (even though it's the New one) and then run the fix again and let it revert it back to the old VVM?
Thanks for the help and also the fix.

Yeah, do not upgrade to the newer vvm. And you should do what you said to restore vvm service, restore your titanium backup, flash zip and install apk, do not install update.
I will update OP so this doesn't happen to others in the future.

That worked Ron. Thanks for the help. Silly VVM

Worked perfectly, thanks!!!

[Q] t-mobile mms signature

ive searched for others with similar problem but can only find mms signatures regarding gmail and email. my question deals more with messaging?
when i chat with a gmail friend via text messaging (my number), it gets converted to mms. in my previous rom (virtuous inquisition), the only other thing that was sent with my text was the message "this was sent to you from a t-mobile wireless phone". i made the switch to scverhagen's cm9.1 r8, and now when sending these mms, attached at the end is the tmobile logo/signature which consists of several gifs (tmobile stick together logo, etc) and the message "this was sent to you from a t-mobile wireless phone". ive also tried remICS and its the same. since its a chat in a sense and the attached logo/signature takes a while to load on other end, its not very convenient. is there anyway to rid of this signature and revert back to only the original message("this was sent to you from a t-mobile wireless phone")?
if it helps, i noticed when sending mms with inquisition attached was smil.xml. now when sending with the newer ics roms, attached is text_0.txt.
thanks for the help.

I don't text so this is just a shot in the dark but isn't there a place in settings for your signature? If there is, that is most likely just the default. If you were to enter a custom signature it very well may override ALL of it & just end it with your customized one. Like I said....just a shot in the dark.

i don't think theres setting for signatures for messaging. if there are system settings for it, then i havent heard of them or cant find them.
i tried talking to a tmobile rep about it and he said it might be their mms interface and that they cant help me with that. so i tried switching back to a nandroid of inquisition. when messaging from inquisition, the logo/signature isnt attached alongside.

In the standard Messaging app for the stock HTC ROM (or any ROM based on that), under the General settings is where you can enable/disable and change the signature text. I know that Handcent SMS has a setting for converting long SMS to MMS automatically, but the standard messaging app doesn't have this setting. I don't know if it does that anyway or not.

i dont seem to have this issue in the virtuous inquisition rom. will it be possible/compatible to pull a file from the inquisition rom and put it in one of the newer roms here? something like a mms file or something is what im thinking about. or would the problem be rooted deeper into the framework or teh likes?

Inquisition is a Sense-based ROM, so the apps on it would NOT work on any CM-based ROM as those apps need the Sense framework to function.

Since I've never seen a signature attached to any of my SMS or MMS messages, I reloaded my CM9.1r8 ROM and tried. No signature attached. I used both the built-in messaging and Handcent SMS (my usual message app).
Are you sure you're using messaging and not some other app? Maybe Google Talk? or Google Voice?

no, im using the standard messaging app (green text bubble with happy face). sorry if my explanation of problem is unclear. on my end, i only see the message. on the receipient end, they get the attached. in this case, my message was "screenshot and email me."
before they would only get the message followed by "this message was sent from a tmobile wireless phone". now it comes as seen in the attached.
thanks for the help so far. much appreciated.

[Q] Is there a solution to seamlessly group texting with multiple Iphone users?

I'm not referring to the groupMe app, because they'd also have to install that.
I've tried Go SMS, pansi SMS, chomp SMS, and they don't seem to do it perfectly.
When I receive a group text from an iphone user, I want it to make a new thread with all members of the group text, where I can seamlessly respond to all users. Moreover, the stock app does this in a way that my response is not received as a group text on their end, but simply a message to them (as well as whoever else was in the group). Thus, the response goes into our 1v1 chat thread.
All I want is a plugin, rom, app, anything that solves this ridiculously frustrating issue.

I'd like to know as well. I have not been able to find an easy way to do it. I'm guessing it's Apple hating on us Android folks.

GoSMS does it very well, subject to a few limitations, not sure why it is not working for you. A couple of things to keep in mind.
1) The proper threading is not native but is run after the fact. This requires that the message be fully downloaded before it is properly threaded. This can take 10-15 seconds, if you open the message during that time it will not thread correctly.
2) Unfortunately the app will notify you twice, once the original message is received, and once it is recategorized. I handle this by shutting of sound and vibration in the app and using Tasker instead. If two notifications arrive within 15 secs Tasker just ignores the second one.
From what I have been told Handcent will do something similar

The GoSMS / Handcent implementations are ****. Sorry, but they are.
I've heard tell that Android finally put native group SMS / MMS into Android 4.2, which will likely never come to our phone officially but hopefully we'll get some of the benefit at least as things trickle down in the development community.

I'm also trying to find a solution to this too and I'm always hoping that every update of Go Sms and Handcent fixes this feature. Like one of the previous replies above stated, GO SMS will give you double notifications. It's annoying because it slows down your phone if you get too many all at once.
I've found that Handcent works better than GO SMS because it only notifies you after the message has been downloaded and you don't get double notifications. However, it's still flawed because sometimes your messages hang and dont download properly unless you physically click download. Also, sometimes when you're sending a text and try to hit send, it looks like it sends but just disappears. If you wrote a long message, you would have to re-type it all over again and hope it sends correctly the second time.
If you install CM 10.1 (android 4.2.2), this group messaging feature is baked into the rom. This is probably the best experience I've had to get the group messaging to work. It works like how an iphone user would see it. However, CM 10.1 still has some minor glitches that made me temporarily go back to sense roms. With every nightly, things seem to be getting better though. I will probably try it again in a couple weeks.
Currently I'm back on Viper using Handcent.

I've successfully run a CM10.1 mms.apk in CM10, but I've never tried this with Sense. Do you know what ROM that mms.apk file you have is actually from? I know CM10.1's mms.apk is compiled to require a minimum of JB 4.1, but versions from other JB 4.2 ROMs might have possibly been compiled to require JB 4.2
FWIW: mms.apk file is normally located in the /system/app folder, which requires root permissions to move a file to. File permissions might also need to be modified. Sense doesn't normally has a mms.apk in there since the stock messaging app is built around Sense and I believe the name starts with "htc", but I would assume a new mms.apk would at least run. I'm not sure whether this file location and permissions are actually part of your problem

update -
I've tried the entire process of putting the app in system, setting permissions, and installing, rebooting etc. No avail. App still force closes as soon as it opens.
I think the problem is in fact something to do with sense. I deleted the old messaging app as well first but that didn't do anything either.
Damn.

4.2.2 MMS force closes on viper 4.1
I uninstalled all the htc language packs, htc messaging. Install mms.apk.
I can get the app open, change settings, type a message... But as soon as I add a recipient it force closes.
Since I can do the things I can with the app open seems as though it should be able to work
If there is anyone that wants to work on this? I don't want to bug Turge with it.

Which mms.apk did you install?

That is an mms.apk from an aosp ROM, I didn't mention that when I uploaded it. It won't work properly on a Sense ROM.
