Short FAQ

• Q:Screen wont come back on, the buttons light up but i have no screen?!
  A: Try taking out your sdcard. If it works you need to reformat your sdcard and whatever you do dont use clockworkmod!
• Q: Im getting lockups and have to pull the battery to restart?
  A: Easiest way that seems to do the trick: Goto: Evervolv Toolbox -> Performance -> Processor -> change Min Freq to 384Mhz
  A: Or: change the governor from ondemand to smartassv2

• (latest are posted to mongoosehelix twitter page) or dl here 5-20-release (thanks TuSKan for the mirror)
• Gapps are NOT included in the rom. Reasons for this is 1) smaller upload for me 2) Gapps seem to be the source of most peoples problems. This way you can flash whatever version or package you want/works best (or even make your own custom gapps package)

• About the included apps2sd see: ->here<-

• Source: https://github.com/Evervolv/android_kernel_htc_qsd8k
• 2.2.0a3: http://d-h.st/TD0
• 2.2.0a4: http://d-h.st/1xR

• Request fill week:
  • Notification toolbox now QwikWidgets with easier widget reordering
  • Long press back to kill apps
  • Trackball Alert Patch to custom colors using lilhermits app
• Toolbox and Themes removed from app drawer: now access through settings
• Androidian theme is now mostly complete and usable.
• Revert some linaro patches to try and fix some weirdness

• Fix bootanimation
• Cleanup to honeycomb lockscreen
• finishing touches to androidian theme

• main thing here is camcorder, native omx encoding is working but decoding is still broke so you can record videos but cant play them back. Issues: video is capped at 15fps so it is a little choppy, recorded video is rotated 90 degrees
• usb tether support: not native, using the motorola usb app not included (push to /system/app then the toggle in settings will work) i'll probably never include this app in the build since it runs as a service and that bothers me
• be sure to check out new options in the evtoolbox (lockscreen and interface) and the new evtips widget
• and get the new gapps installer from bexton

• Forgot to bump the version so its still a4
• probably 200+ new commits here. Vast majority do not concern n1. but thought it was worth mentioning
• bump IMM76L
• surfaceflinger hacks: make ui smoother (error in makefile prevented them from being turned on before)

• lockscreen 'wave' animations will follow the unlock around (not just go right)
• 180 degree (upsidedown) rotation support
• kernel updated: kgslv3.8, tiny rcu optimizations, autogroup, bfqv3r2, smartassv2, armv7 changes from caf
• newer adreno libs: in combination with kernel updates should make ui noticeably smoother (note: not backward compatible with any pre a4 kernels including tiamat)
• updated cli tools: htop v.9, busybox updated 1.20.1, a2sd cleanup: checkext should work better

• browser features (incognito / max tabs)
• notification toolbox brightness widget fixes
• kernel update: sleep of death seems resolved built inline with googles gcc per https://github.com/Evervolv/android_kernel_htc_qsd8k
• camera fixes (rapmv78)

• ZIP: http://goo.im/devs/evervolv/20120507/Evervolv-Perdo-2.2.0a3-passion.zip
• TARBALL: http://goo.im/devs/evervolv/20120507/Evervolv-Perdo-2.2.0a3-passion.tar.bz2

• Bulgarian keylayout, Dutch dictionary added
• working google backup/restore (RMerlin)
• Volwake/music controls can now be used concurrenly
• battery percent icon by default
• lockscreen sound toggle icon now updates properly
• bluetooth tethering (untested)
• attempt to resolve auto button backlights being too bright in low light
• audio files have been restructured. you might have to reset your ringtone / notification settings (not needed if you wipe)
• kernel update sha/memcpy optimizations one ondemand gov update (per my wip19 branch)(been using for a week with no issues)

• merge android 4.0.4
• finish merge for omx in framework (still not working, falls back to sw)
• removed barcode patch from camera (more stable pictures)(so no panorama,video or barcode now)

• update to gralloc/hwcomposer (slightly smoother)
• enable singlepdp ril feature. (should allow easier apn switching)
• omx libs included. native hw assisted video not complete in framework (although youtube hq now utilizes the adsp heap, so that progress)
• wifi: eap pwd support
• mms: misc updates
• kernel rebuild with xz compressed, genlock update
• much better multitouch experience (theomy)
• camera preview works (kushdeck) barcode scanning (tested w/ google goggles) (panorama, video have issues, also there is a memory leak, leaving the camera app open for 2+min will cause OOM to kill the system server possible causing a reboot)

• 
  Redemption for p12

• Nothing major, but many small changes/optimizations
• youtube standard def clips shouldnt stutter (color banding still happens)
• evtoolbox: statusbar icons: battery % mod from mongoosehelix
• standalone powerwidgets from preludedrew

• Phone should not lockup anymore when rotating display. Landscape mode is still strange, status bar is rendered halfway off screen...but only when rotating right...going left its fine.
• Moved to cayniarbs stock(ish) kernel with my kgsl commits and ksm/zram backported from 3.0
• EVtoolbox: new menu 'performance' control zram(aka compcache) and ksm, both disabled by default. ksm will reduce memory overhead by 10-15mb with minimal cpu usage (0-1%). ive read that ksm likes to have swap (10% zram should be enough) but youll have to experiment and see. also added 'processor' menu (also from cm) to view/control cpu stats.
• Apps2sd: support moving /data/data, (run 'a2sd install' again and choose y when asked about appdata) im still wary of how to handle wipes when appdata2sd is active. so ive added two functions to a2sd: 'nodatasd' which removes appdata2sd flag and optionally removes the appdata from sdcard and 'nosysdata' which removes only the system appdata (ie anything starting with com.android) from the sdcard
• Browser: i revised hwcomposer. redering is faster < 1 to 2 secs max under heavy scrolling
• Camera preview is still broke.

• Rebooting issues should be resovled
• Added /system/etc/sysctl.conf to set various vm values. Feel free to modify to your liking

• kernel update: 32bit color (fixes gradient backgrounds)
• hwcomposer: rewrote from scratch for qsd8k. (main fix is screen off animation)
• statusbar: new toolbox, settings button back to opening settings (swipe to change screens). notifications back to stock behavior. toolbox can even be turned off in evtoolbox
• browser: slowed rendering, (fuzzy text takes a few seconds to clear up) is much faster now. (1-2 sec instead of 4-5)

• reboots: check here for initial workaround
• removed omx libs due to build error (just use the ones from p8 if you really want them)
• rotation still broke, seems to lockup the most on the home screen.
  Code:

  kgsl kgsl-3d0: |kgsl_mh_intrcallback| axi write error interrupt

• and everything else that was broke in p8
• updated bug list thanks mrhohoha

• Massive kernel upgrade: misc wifi updates, fix ext 2/3 mountisg issues, add in call recording feature, updated kgsl (3d driver) to version 3.3 (cherry-picked partial upgrade to 3.7), other misc updates required for new kgsl driver. source is temporarily at https://github.com/drewis/tiamat-kernel/tree/wip9
• Rom: now build with proper ICS OPENGL support (ie 100% hardware accelerated)(well more like 80-90% for now). I still have several issues to sort before hwa is working properly but this is a great start (imo). Screen off animation not working due to hwcomposer issue.

• This build is much less stable than p7 (or lower) but faster
• You must turn off auto rotate in Display Settings or you will experience lockups that require a battery pull. (i know whats causing it but it will be a fairly difficult fix)
• kernel build #119 which means i build the kernel 119 times to get this far, and that number is much much lower than the actual number of times i built the kernel before i got it booting and (mostly) working. Just something to think about, in terms of how much work it took to get this far
• camera preview dont work but still takes pictures. also does not include rapmv78 newest fixes for panorama and barcode (didn't seem necessary to include them sinc camera preview doesnt work)

• camera libs now built from source.
• fix the tiny mms pics for t-mobile.
• removed prebuilt omx libs so hw video decoding wont work anymore. (these will be added later when we merge the source from cafs)
• updated gapps: paid apps should work now
• autobrightness should be working better

• lockscreen: can choose whatever you want for the actions in evtoolbox (i'll fix up the "waves" for next time)
• evtoolbox: lockscreen stuff - new submenu: interface with tbwake toggle (this was a fucing ***** to make work), vol wake, vol music contols moved here. - sixbar signal toggle in statusbar menu
• camera: newer libs from rapmv78 for video
• a2sd: added 'checkext' to fix errors on sd-ext partition (you dont need to run this...its already being done on every boot)
• kernel: revert to p4 version

• notification toolbox: tap settings icon to switch between, long press to open settings
• lockscreen: volumebutton music control
• lockscreen: nullpointerexception soft reboot issue resolved
• kernel: rebuild based on latest from tiamat
• 6barsignal: new drawables
• camera: rapmv78 libs
• launcher2: a couple options like hide search bar (there are a few options in the launcher settings that dont do anything yet, the only working opiton is hide search bar)
• UMS: should properly detect plug/unplug events now (this is where the wipe is recommended if its not working for you, its cause the old not working settings are saved)
• misc: new bootanimation from Bexton
• latinime: more dictionaries
• apps2sd: rewrote for more awesomeness see: ->here<-

• 6bar signal strength icons
• Lockscreen: bring back tab and rotary style, defalut 3way ics style can now choose what app you want. all options in EVToolbox (all thanks to preludedrew...i did pretty much nothing lol)
• Rebuilt kernel: still based on Evervolv/tiamat-kernel 8x50 branch
• cyan trackball notifications (samuaz)
• facebook sync in contacts

Thanks texasice, great work! Will test now. To clarify, is the partition layout mandatory? I have blackrose and can change it myself, but any rationale on this 220/16/200 layout in particular would be helpful.

And my N1 lives again. This is awesome.

I sometimes do get frustrated by lack of processor and memory. but I just can't seem to upgrade from my N1. Maybe if I get ICS on my N1 I might not have to.

If do this...does it mean that changing Roms is not as simple as just going into recovery and flashing the ROM? Does it take more steps like changing the partition again?
