I'm new to this. I don't know whether it's just my phone or for others as well. For the stock messaging app that comes with OrDroid 7 and 8, regardless of the other versions: I've set the message preview to show only 1 line, but after I restart my phone or wait a couple hours, it will automatically change back to show 2 lines. But I go into settings, it still says show "1 line".
Message App > Menu > Settings > General > Message Preview
I don't know whether this is known bug or it's just me. Has any other experience this problem?
i have the same issue. this probably should be reported on the OrDroid thread.
also i have noticed that after setting the option to receive a delivery report for SMS/MMS, it will only work once, after you exit the messaging app, you'll need to set it again.

Yeah I would report it to the OrDroid post, but I do not have the 10 post requirement yet. I have 5. So I'm trying to make it up there. Or you can post it there, if you want to. And yeah, I've noticed that about the delivery report as well, but I usually don't use that. I just wanted to try and turn it off, but it just turned off. So I was fine with it.

although, 2 lines layout in the messaging app isn't that bad...actually i prefer it over the 1 line, but it's up to you.
so...if "someone" reports this tiny bug in the thread, that person will most probably be flamed as it's "not big of a deal"

Haha. Maybe. I mean it isn't that much of a big deal. I can live with the 2 line message preview, but I would prefer 1 line as well. But there are some people who are perfectionists, so I would assume they would mind. Hahaha. I don't mind being flamed, I guess. Since I am NEW to this rooting stuff anyway.
Ohh, one more question: Are you receiving weak signals? One or two bars only? I don't think I've seen my signalling bar higher than 3 bars...

my signal is great on ordroid, could be related to the coverage in your area.
also, if you'd want to try something out "needs a bit of tinkering", when you open your battery back cover, you see the gold metal contacts, and same on your battery cover, those should contact each other 100% once you close back your phone. some of those contacts might not come in good contact with the back cover over time, so just slightly (just slightly) push those contacts upward, to make a better contact with the cover. if that worked well, you'll find an instant change.....just slightly
if you can live with 2 bars only, and not causing trouble with calling, keep the phone as it is

So thanks to all the hard work and shared knowledge by everyone here, I am running a very nicely customized AT&T Tilt.
Based on Alex.v5.ATT.161.UltraClean.ROM, FWIW.
Then tonight, out of nowhere, I get a blank text message, and in my status bar up top I get a little icon that looks like a satellite dish. There's no record of the text message in messaging.
So I figure, eh, WTF, soft reboot. Goes away, all looks good. Now about a half hour later it happens again.
Is AT&T trying to push some firmware update or something? Can you actually do this from the radio, without going into bootloader? It (the icon at top) persists even in flight mode, so i'm really confused what it could be communicating with..?
Forgive me in advance if this is a total n00b question, but figured if anyone knew the ROMs well enough to know all the secret holes, it would be this group... TIA!

I am still waiting too.... but its ok, I am happy trying them out and seeing where we are at. I will be more than happy whenever it happens
2.1 uh oh
Tehe, thus far I've held off on the 2.1 builds because stuff hasn't been working, I guess since I'm backing up my device and switching ROM builds today anyway I'll have to just accidentally pop this on there and see what happens :-D
Edit: Was unable to get the Market to work at all. No FC message, just fails to start.

Can anyone confirm if the Verizon FIOS Mobile Remote app is or isn't available in the Market with this ROM?
Wow, this ROM FREAKING FLIES.
The pinch to zoom on the home screen is blazing fast. I am extremely impressed. 2.1 on our devices is going to be awesome. Thanks again for your hard work Gbhil!!!!
**Edit**
Location, like all other 2.1 ROMs I've tried though, is off. It initially said I was in Kansas City, which is right, but it quickly changed to "Washington" which is what the other roms said, which DEFINITELY isn't right

To add to my previous post, the location services are working fine, it just seems (like in other 2.1 roms) that the location noted in the HTC home screen clock is what isn't working properly.
I get the correct location returned in one of my test apps, and see myself fine in the Google maps v4, so I dunno...maybe there's something missing with the HTC Location Services apk?
Oh yeah, and SetCPU is awesome on this rom too
would i have to wipe this coming from fresh rom??
i had force close on "3g Update"?!?!
I just noticed: txt messages after daylight savings got a bit screwy for some people, where messages would be stamped an hour earlier and be out of order. Now Ive sent and recieved a few txts and they are showing the correct order and timestamps.
Anyone else?

Anyways, looking at the changes we made to reconnect to 4G faster, these values should make us connect sooner, and drop the connection later. Should be good for fringe areas. I'll describe every change and explain what they do, so bear with me:
NOTE: All these changes will be made in the EPST menu. To get there, dial ##DATA# and choose edit mode. You'll have to enter your MSL. Then choose WiMax in the menu. Don't change anything except what I tell you, because you'll eff something up most likely. If this doesn't work for you, I've also mentioned the defaults so you can go back.
WiMAX_Entry_RX(RSSI)(dBm) - Default is -89. This is the minimum signal it has to be picking up to connect. I'm not sure what the best value here is, but the lower the number, the quicker the connect, since it will connect to a weaker signal. You'll have to experiment some with this, I recommend trying about -95 to -100 first. If it's unstable, raise the value closer to -89.
WiMAX_Entry_CINR(dB) - Default is 4. This is the Carrier to Interface Noise Ratio. The higher it is, the clearer the connection has to be to connect. Change it to 3. You may be able to push it all the way down to 2, but that is probably pushing it. EDIT: Sorry, didn't realize you couldn't set this without it being 4 or higher. You can still pick it up with a weaker signal by changing the entry RSSI, but you still have to have a signal without much interference. In reality, that shouldn't matter too much though
WiMAX_Exit_CINR(dB) - Default is 2. See the entry CINR value for an explanation of it. If the signal degrades to a CINR of 2, it will drop the connection. Change this to 1. This should let you stay connected longer. If you run into problems with staying connected but having an unreliable connection, change it back to 2.
WiMAX_Exit_Delay(s) - The default is 2. Since it's measured in seconds, that means if the CINR drops to 2 or below for 2 seconds, it will drop the connection. Raise it to 5. That should be enough to cover just a random drop in signal that will pick back up right away. That way you don't drop connection if you drive under a bridge or something (I'm rocking mine at 15s here, but it'll take any value up to 600 seconds, which is 10 minutes!)
That should be it. I think I explained everything good enough. Let me know if you have any questions & I'll edit the OP. None of these should harm your device, but as usual heres the disclaimer: If you screw up and blame me, I will point and laugh.
I'm not in 4G ATM so I can't test it, but all the principles check out in theory. The only one that cause any 4G instability (ie having signal but not being able to transfer data) is the exit CINR. A value of 1 may be too low to transfer data, but I'm not sure. If you have that issue, just raise it back to 2. The rest will just make it pick up signal sooner.
Let me know how it works
EDIT: Also, if you follow this guide it'll let you reconnect sooner if you for some reason disconnect randomly. Plus it'll let you connect as soon as it picks up signal too, not 5 minutes after you first pick it up!
I've had people report to me on Twitter that this DRASTICALLY improves things for them. @cynicaloptimist said he used to get 4G a half mile from is house, and now he can get it 150 feet away. It may not seem like a lot, but a half mile more coverage is a helluva lot more when a tower (4G towers may vary, CDMA/EvDo figures here) may cover 10-12 miles.
Great work man, i just wish i could use it. Damn you Sprint for not having 4G in Long Island New York yet! All the hype for this phone and its flagship feature, 4G when you buy it and you find out, you cant even use it... smh.
That works great! Also, has anyone found out why it keeps searching for 4G when we turn it off? ALL evos are affected. Do a Logcat after you turn 4g off and watch it go crazy every 2 seconds. I think this issue has been seriously overlooked.

Yeah I've noticed that but I have no idea what may be causing it. I'll look into it, but the gist of it is, it seems to be looking for the 4G daemon running on the device, but it's been shut down already. Could be wrong tho.

The acceptable range of values for the Evo is 4-10. The Evo just wont let me set it lower.
This was just what I was looking for, screwed up my epst.apk though so I hope I can just swap it back in with adb.
the "WiMAX_Entry_CINR(dB)" does not allow me to enter a value of 3. It says it's restricted values are between 4 - 10.
Edit: pwabbit also posted it. I guess I can confirm that he's not the only one unable to change that value.

Run logcat while inputing the code. You will likely see msgs that indicate the phone is trying to load a number of java classes and a reason for the failure. When I had this problem it was because I had a corrupted hosts file and the phone was failing to resolve th name localhost which is the name used to call the java classes needed to load the tool.

Awesome speeds. The network has just been live here in STL for about a month, started off never breaking 2.5Mbps. Now they've improved it quite a bit coverage wise & I get ~5mbps going 75MPH down I-55. I imagine it'd be better stationary.
And thats really weird. What ROM are you running? Are you using the stock HTC dialer? It should definitely be ##data# unless you're not on the HTC dialer. AAMOF it won't even let you enter the second one, as soon as you type the first it goes straight into EPST.
Lol, yeah the 4th # is silent.

Yeah crazy speeds, i took a dump on myself when i hit that marker. I also have a head set plugged in with it snipped to half a inch of wire. For some odd reason i broke the barrier. With it plugged in. I think the 4g antenna is a small one compaired to the usb one. Iam using damage control 3.2.3 with the toast fps kernel and stock dialer. Great battery with dc profile set to performance and underclocked to 806 using the juice control not setcpu. When u got dc set to performance means its allowing more threads in the cpu not making it set to a full load. Just sayin.

call sprint or cdma workshop or if you were to activate a phone on sprint.com then wait like 5 min activate the evo back the one time code or secondary code can be used as the msl pw. i have never seen anyone post that about activating the phone to get the msl. that to me would be the easiest
So a few days ago I checked my phone at work, had been off the charger for 4 hours not used at all and it was dead. Battery draw was ~300ma the whole time. The next day I noticed my camera wasn't working. Ill get an error message(activity camera not responding). Sometimes ill attempt to open the app and nothing will happen. This was all on gingerbeast. So I wiped all data and reflashed GB. Camera still doesn't work and battery draw is insane. I've since tryed AR, virtuous and cm7. For the record I've wiped battery stats,tryed without SD and sim card. I've been unable to find the cause of the high draw,although I think its related to the camera. Tomorrow I'm going to try and unroot and return to fully stock. Sorry for the long post any help is appreciated.

If your camera isn't working on any freshly installed ROMs, you probably have a hardware problem. As a last resort, try going back to the stock ROM. If your camera is still bad, then you'll need to do a warranty exchange with AT&T. The camera issues may very well be causing your high battery drain.
So HTC told me to send it to them within 30 days. And what do you know the next day my camera works fine! Should I still send It in or wait it out? Im also getting slight screen lifting in the corner so I might as well? I don't have a spare phone to use but I can buy some cheapo for a temp

From what I recall, the inspire is about 20 times harder to replace the screen/digitizer, because the thing it honestly slapped together.
@ OP Sad part is if you do wish to repair it your probably going to have to go through HTC as I had some lengthy conversations with ATT and had to threaten to cancel and report them to the BBB on face book before anyone actually wanted to help me. MY phone was to the point where the bottom right of the screen had lifted and I could press on the bottom center and here clicking noises.
Edit: Try downloading watch dog lite to see if any apps are causing the battery draw before you unroot, a little troubleshooting can go a long way .
I think I have a trade deal that went south..
The phone seems tampered with and I need someone to take a pic of what the phone looks like under the rear cover. I see void stickers, but it seems like some are missing and the phone has been tampered with.
I just need a pic to very that it has been tampered with.
Kinda got my hands full, at the moment, so no pic, but there's only one void decal under my cover on the screw in the top right corner. T-Mobile US HOS

Bottomline - treat your IMEI like you treat your SSN. NEVER GIVE IT OUT...
