Root AOSenseP Hybrid ROM

******You must download and install both zips*******
******You must follow the procedure outlined below******
******I strongly suggest restoring using the ph44img in hboot prior to installing this ROM
******Follow that by installing Evil Kingdom v3 and ensure everything is working on it. This will help me troubleshoot any problems you may have.


I have put together a ROM which started life as Apache Thunder's EvilKingdom v3. I have tested it on my Boost Design 4g

It now features a stock vanilla ICS status bar, settings menu, USB connection screen, MMS, keyboard, calendar, calculator, e-mail, music, browser ui sounds and live wallpapers.

Htc Album, camera, contacts and phone

Includes Holo Launcher, ES explorer, Maps, Music Box (Free music down loader no longer available on the Play Store), Ringdroid and Wi-Fi tether

There may be an issue with picture message in which case you can revert back to the Htc app.

There are no other known issues. EVERYTHING else works perfectly, after all we did buy this phone for the features it has. I am using this ROM as my daily driver and as my primary business line. There footprint is no lag and there is minimal Htc Sense footprint remaining.The total size is 211 Mb...Slim and very functional.

I am running the 2fastroms v4 kernel and also included is his Power Menu. Other files were jacked other forums and I didn't bother keeping track so I apologize in advance to those it may have been. Please message me or verbally abuse me in the thread and I will make sure I credit those people.

I have limited experience putting together ROMS so this one is broken down into two separate zips. If anyone can put it together I would really appreciate the help and the knowledge to do so.
DO NOT SKIP ANY STEPS. Complete in this exact order.,...

Boot into recovery
Do a Nandroid backup
Wipe data, factory reset,
Format Data, System and Cache
Install kingdom.zip then reboot (allow system to fully load for a couple of minutes)
Then reboot into recovery, wipe dalvik, wipe cache
Flash gapps.sysui.zip
Reboot
stock kernel is included. All of 2fast's ICS kernels are compatible.
I am running an addition .5 volts below the preloaded voltages on the v4 kernel with Quadrant scores consistently above 2500. This is with the conservative governor set for the minimum clock up to 1.7, up threshhold at 50 and down at 30 and getting better than stock battery life.

You will need to download the 4g Evo toggle from the play store.

Please report any issues and if you have them, a possible fix. I would recommend not deleting any of the other HTC files as I have tried most of them and something ends up breaking.

Aside from the core phone and contacts apk's none are of significant size nor using up any resources. The Sense UI now uses about 4.5 mb of RAM in a background process which if stopped causes errors but not a total crash and at 4.5 Mb not worth the headaches of trying to stop it.

Build.prop may need some editing for the USB connection....mass_storage OR mtp.....and adb

Does abd and usb mounting on it work though? And I'm guessing that means that the sense dialer is still being used?

Oh why the hell am I asking these things, I'm about to load it up anyway haha. I'll report back with anything I find.

adb works regardless ...I believe I have the build.prop set to mass_storage unless I made the change after I started the upload.... I have the following setting....

persist.sys.usb.config=mass_storage,adb

when I made that edit in ROM toolbox (lite version is free) my laptop immediately recognized the phone as a storage device

Like I said above, follow the order exactly...I tried installing both zips without rebooting in between and it was a no go

Travis....I have no signal issues at all and nothing was changed that would cause any. If you are connected to a 4G network it will not show that in the status bar nor on the phone info screen. It will however show on the 4g Evo widget you can download as well as on the Quadrant system info screen. I had a problem last week with my data profile on a stock ROM and had to reload the factory image to fix my phone...the ph44 image...

The only ROM I have been on since is Evil Kingdom and now this one. I can assure you there are no signal problems. What ROM were you running before this one? When I get home I will switch to it and then flash to this and get back to you.

Anyone else trying this, you need both zips. I show more downloads of the kingdom zip than the gapps.sysui.zip....and you need to fully reboot and complete the other steps in the OP. This ROM will not work otherwise.

With sprint you must be able to update your prl, and profile, when after you first istall the rom.. You are aslo not able to update the mms or apn with this rom. Is this based on Boost? If so you can't update shit with it as it is preconfigured.. This rom is vary fast, but useless unless certain things can be accomplished.. The problem I find with most who want to develop roms for this phone (with the exception of 2fast and his team) most do not want to take the time to make it work for all carriers. They just throw shit out there and hope people will like it..

It says in the OP what ROM it is based on and what phone. I have my ##3282# working and can change any setting as well.You still haven't said if you have DATA problems, phone problems or what. This ROM has nothing in it that will change your DATA profile. I will see if I can figure out a way to port the multi-carrier install so until then restore your nandroid backup.

I threw it out there because I liked it. If you don't then go into cwm and select 'restore'.
