Yea I know, but I don't have any problems and if I do, I will know why. The only reason I don't full wipe is because every time I do, I have to set everything up again and I always have a problem signing into HTC Hub. It always tells me my password or username is wrong even though I know they are right. Even if I go to forgot password it still tells me wrong username. So every time I do a full wipe and set up HTC Hub, I have to do it with a different email address each time and if I try to use one that was previously used, it tells me that the email address I used is already in use.
[EVO 4G Android Development] coiledwire:
Just try placing it in one of the locations. If it doesn't work, place it in the other. I highly doubt you'll have any problem by placing it in 1 or the other. If still concerned, just make a backup first.

You don't have to reinstall from scratch if you want to change boot animation or sound.

[EVO 4G Android Development] DNarsingh:
I know, he was just saying to always do a full wipe before installing the rom, not the boot animation. It works fine when I replace the one in /data/local but I haven't tried the other.

Sooooooo.... Here I was 20 minutes ago in my room, everything set and cool, ready to flash 2.42 and enjoy the good things life brings us, booted into recovery, nandroided as usual, wiped as usual, except that this time something happened that changed my life forever.... Instead of wiping sd:ext I clicked on wipe SDCARD.... My. Heart. Just. Stopped.

Good bye to all the mods, roms, apks, backups, my Titanium backup folder, and worst of all, all the pics I had on the sd from my kids and stuff...

STOP! Take the SD card out of the phone before you do anything else with it. it is possible you might be able to recover some/all of what was on there. There are some programs, some specifically for recovering images, that you can use to un-erase the files. Do a google search for unerase or undelete sdcard and you should be able to find some stuff.

I've never used the phone to wipe the sd card, but i'm assuming it's not actually wiping the card clean but just reformatting it, in which case most/all of the data could still be there as long as you haven't started writing new files to the card. once you start writing new data to it, there's a good chance it's going to be over-writing whatever was there.

good luck

Oh man, I feel for you. :(

A few months ago, I was flashing something late at night, and without thinking, I accidently had the cursor over wipe SD and I double hit power as I usually do. It was like slowmo watching the damn phone kill all of the memories on my SD. Since then, I've learned to do periodic backups of the SD to my PC.

Hey guys, thanks for the support, it helps to ease the pain... ;)

And, yes, I know about all those programs, matter of fact I use recover my files myself, but somehow, something happened that rmf couldn't recover anything, I dunno, maybe today was my lesson in humility or something, but I ended with a clean sd card, literally, and my most recent sd backup is from 2 months ago, an eternity these days, I know...

But, right now I'm just letting the phone get a full charge, and begin anew...

Lesson to US ALL: BACKUP YOUR SD OFTEN!!!

Now, if you'll excuse me I'll be having a beer, at least cry with dignity... :(
[EVO 4G Android Development] bluenadas:
Kind of late advise given your current situation but I always copy my sd card over to my pc before wiping!

I feel your pain on the pictures for sure...I had an external hard drive that had like 3000 pictures of my family and I plugged in the wrong power adapter (one for my laptop) in to it, fried it. Only saving grace I had was that I also uploaded the majority of them to google via picasa, so I didn't lose all of them. However they were compressed and not really print quality, but I still had them.

Trouble Receiving Text Messages....

Hey All,

I've been having problems receiving sms and mms messages since updating to 2.41. Ever since upgrading to 2.4 my Texting has been spotty but after upgrading to 2.41 its been absolutely horrible.

I have found that if I am actually in the text messaging service I can receive texts just fine. I use the stock Text service that comes with MikeG. The weird thing is that I use WiMax Notifier to enable the led next to the camera to notify me when an SMS comes in. Many times I will see the light go on as if I got a text message but when I go into the Message Service there is no text there. When I ask if someone sent me a message they indeed say that they did. Since I am in the Message service when I ask I then receive the new message correctly.

I just upgraded to 2.42 with a full Wipe of everything except my SD card and install of the New MikeG and then a reboot, wipe of cache and Dalvik and then a reboot back into the Phone. For the first 12-24 hrs, my texting is perfect, but after that it just deteriorates.

MikeG - 2.42

Kernal - 2.6.35.10

Baseband - 2.15.00.05.02

PRI - 2.15_003

PRL - 60680

Any thoughts guys, that would greatly be appreciated.

Kernel FYI

I know we've all been talking about the FINALLY released kernel code and the customization of said kernels by lithid and netarchy a lot lately. Just thought I'd drop a little FYI on something I've found going back and forth between the 2 new kernels and the stock kernel.

Keep a copy of the stock kernel (link goodness here, wireless-n enabled) to flash back to anytime you switch kernels. I've noticed that every time I change kernels (even from an older to a newer version of the same kernel), I bootloop. If I flash back to stock and boot up, then flash a custom lithid or netarchy kernel, they work fine. Always wipe both cache and dalvik cache when flashing any kernel (stock or custom).

I'm currently on net's v1.1 and loving it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] kc_hubbard:
Are you running one of the new custom kernels? If so, are you overclocking? Sometimes it takes a while for the evil's of too much overclocking to rear its ugly head. Also, it seems most of us are not able to overclock as highly on GB ROMs as we could on Froyo ROMs.

[EVO 4G Android Development] kc_hubbard:
Did your full wipe include cache/dalvik/data/android_secure/boot/system/sdext? If not, it needs to. The way mik builds his ROMs, you really need to wipe all of that before you flash. Not doing so will give unpredictable results.

[EVO 4G Android Development] bcarter2000:
You should not need to wipe the sdext. The only time I ever wiped my ext is when i moved from the hero to the evo. I've been through every MikRom since re-engineered, and have had 0 problems. Even went to Synergy and back. You will lose any saved info from the apps, but you won't have to re-download them. This was one of the main reasons it was developed. Unless you move dalvik to it there should be no need.

I disagree. While its cool that you've been able to proceed without ever wiping ext, I feel its bad advice to give as a general procedure.

I've read about people be able to boot up into a fresh rom by specifically wiping ext. Also Mik moves alot of system apks to the data partition, so its not just your user apps that are preserved. I'm sure it can't be good to have the same system apk exist in both /system and /data partitions simultaneously.

[EVO 4G Android Development] bcarter2000:
I didn't realize he moved all that to data. I haven't flashed the latest yet. I just noticed the update.

In that case, you are right.

As far as not being able to boot because apks are on the ext, that doesn't make much sense(system app thing aside, of course). If a Rom has dta2sd properly initiated on boot, having apks on the ext should be the same as having them in /data. If something was corrupted then maybe, but other than that, they should work just like a pre-installed app.
[EVO 4G Android Development] :
+1 on that... As with any new kernel (or rom install) you gotta let it get accustomed with your hardware for a couple of days, after that, you'll get outstanding battery life, I once got close to 30 hours on a single charge, granted most of it the phone was sleeping but it was great nevertheless...

2.42 .m10 files...

Any themers tried modifying the new decompressed fusion.apk and idlescreen_base.apk from 2.42? I've modified both in the past with no problem*. Modifying these new ones caused the phone to only show the status bar after boot. No lockring or whatnot. Once you booted up, you were stuck. Had to pull battery and reflash my older versions to get it to work.

I use M10 Editor v0.5.26.387 for the .m10 files. I did notice that after modifying .png images and saving the modified .apk file, if you try to add anying in a res folder via winRAR or 7-zip, you can't. You end up with a corrupt (but working) .apk. To "fix" that, I'd take the modified .m10 file(s) from the new .apk and replace them in an unmodified .apk. Then I'd end up with my .png mods in the .m10 files and I'd have a non-corrupt .apk.

With the new 2.42 version, I've tried doing the same mods as before, same process, but with unsuccessful results. I've tried replacing the .m10 files using normal compression and uncompressed (stored). Neither are successful.
