My internet, on WiFi is blazing fast, but my battery does get a lot hotter than it ever did before. usually hits 39.8 degrees C, anytime I'm doing anything. I just attribute that to the fact that we're stuck with a stock kernel until the glorious day the source code is released (Which I wish the hell they'd do, already....)
[EVO 4G Android Development] HipKat:
It's the same thing as the swap on your computer. It' a memory mangement tool that basically, the operating system retrieves data from secondary storage in same-size blocks called pages. The main advantage of paging is that it allows the physical address space of a process to be noncontiguous. Before the time paging was used, systems had to fit whole programs into storage contiguously, which caused various storage and fragmentation problems. (Thanks Wiki)

i use Swiftkey and it is my fav keyboard....period.
[EVO 4G Android Development] beandogg:
I love this ROM (1.04), it's speedy and convenient and looks good. And I was running AOSP for like 5 months.

But I may just have to go back to Cyanogen for one reason. I commute for up to 3 hours a day, so I have to use bluetooth audio streaming, and this ROM has the same poor BT audio quality as most of the sense ROMs that I have tried. Cyanogen is clear and unadulterated, as was MIUI.

There is a lot of discussion of bitrate and I don't even understand all of it, but all I can tell you that with this rom, and other sense ROMS, the music hisses and cracks at normal low levels where as with cyanogen and MIUI you can increase the gain without any noise in the signal.

Does anyone know if there is any push to improve the quality of bluetooth in sense roms. I love this ROM and would like to stick, but this may be a dealbreaker.
[EVO 4G Android Development] rccwill:
Don't use TB to restore.

kc_hubbard posted this on page 555 of this thread. Follow his steps and you will be fine.

Step 0: Nick's right...do a full wipe. And quoting from his post about full wipe...make sure you do a FULL WIPE before flashing. And by full, use amon-ra and factory reset, wipe data, cache, dalvik, system, boot, sd secure, and sd ext. Only need to do this ONE time, you don't need super duper steroid this and that wipe zips and you also don't need to wipe more than once.

Step 1: Repartition your SD card with swap

Copy your SD card contents off to your PC. Use AmonRa 2.3 recovery to wipe your SD (note: wiping your SD card will in fact wipe it of all data), then partition it w/ 1024MB partition and 64MB swap.

Step 2: Clean install of the ROM

Step 3: Change the a2sd memory management to default

If you use adb, adb shell a2sd lowmem-default

You can also use Terminal Emulator from your phone by entering su, followed by a2sd lowmem-default

Step 4: STOP USING Titanium Backup to restore SMS/MMS messages or settings (you should be careful restoring anything w/ TB actually..it can be done but it's clearly been shown to cause a lot of problems depending on where you're restoring info from)

Use TB to clear SMS/MMS/APN and SMS/MMS prefs. If you need to restore messages, restore them w/ TB, then back them up using stock messaging app, then use TB to clear everything again and finally use the stock messaging app to restore your messages again.

Note: a quick way to re-install all of your apps after flashing a ROM is to use Appbrain. You can save a list of all of your apps pre-flash of a ROM, then re-install the same list of apps afterwards all by using Appbrain.

Again, thanks to many people here for the fixes listed above. The only credit I take is trying to put them all in 1 place so that, hopefully, everyone can get this ROM running correctly on their phone.

EDIT: At Nick's suggestion, I emphasized the full wipe part by putting a step 0 in about full wipe. Can't agree more about using AmonRa ONLY and NOT using the various wipe .zip's that are floating around. One wipe is needed...not 15. I also re-ordered the steps to more correctly reflect what should be done following the wipe.
[EVO 4G Android Development] bgeezy723:
I followed the steps that kc_hubbard posted. He says not to use it to restore SMS/MMS or settings, which I didn't. I only used it for apps.

Secondly, Amon RA wouldn't wipe SD Ext for me, any idea why?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Rattor:
2) This happened to me. All I did was go to TB, hit menu, more, Market Doctor, repair all, and then hit home, menu->settings->applications->manage applications->all->market->force stop, clear data, and clear cache. Then, when you restart market, all your missing apps should show up in your My Apps list.

I'm getting the old 3.7x endless-spinning-circle on sirius after flashing to this ROM. The issue could be fixed before on Sense by dialing ##3282# and entering my MSL then changing the proxy settings. I can't dial ##3282# with this ROM, any ideas?

Just clear up some misundetstanding here. The epst goes into system/app via this line.

adb push >pathto>EPST.apk system/app/

And also, system/app type apps do not get "installed". They just need to be in system/app
[EVO 4G Android Development] Crsdr37:
Codes are supported with the epst.apk posted a few pages back. I have verified just by installing and not pushing. Have to be on wifi to use them however.

Sweet--installed ScreenFilter and rolled back the brightness to 40%. Seems to be working fine so far.

Also if you put the apk in the same folder as Adb you won't need the pathto

strange just noticed the my peoples icon is missing o.O only new thing i installed was the all black theme a few pages back
[EVO 4G Android Development] wase4711:
After I installed that theme, my phone would not reboot..just hung at the boot screen.

Had to uninstall and restore a nand..

I'm waiting for B4 before I re-install again...too many little problems still with B3..
[EVO 4G Android Development] cashmony:
Screen Filter doesnt fix the brightness issue, it's exactly what it says a filter. so it shades the screen it doesnt change the settings, the brightness still stays a 100% and still drains the battery.
[EVO 4G Android Development] CheesyNutz:
it had to be that theme ... i just did a fresh install and my people icon is back and fully working
[EVO 4G Android Development] shawnten:
i cant wait for some more themes. awesome rom. once we get some kernels for battery life this thing will be unstoppable

3g help

hey guys can anyone tell me why im always getting 1x instead of 3g i know it cant be the area cause my bars are always full is there something i need to do to change it or does it even make a difference between the 2?
[EVO 4G Android Development] finsmaniac02:
I dunno about that...

conceptually they want you to think of it as a filter. That why making the number higher makes the screen darker because its like a higher grade filter. Also, you can tell that it is doing something... differently... than lowering brightness. I think it actually changes the color temp on all of the colors. It definitely is different than lowering brightness and seems like it is equivalent of putting a filter over your screen or running all of the colors through a filter.

BUT... if you think from a purely physical sense; I believe your screen IS outputting less light (I guess I can't guarantee that though). And it is the screen emitting light that uses battery. Therefore, it should lower battery use

when I did a complete reinstall i first formatted the SDCARD. Then I partitioned the SDCARD, then upgraded to EXT3. and then installed the ROM.

No problems so far.
[EVO 4G Android Development] kc_hubbard:
1) Don't use HTC Facebook stuff....cant help there

2) We've noted over and over again that you have to be careful restoring things using TB. I'm not sure why it's such a big deal w/ this ROM, wondering if it's because people are coming from non-GB ROMs, non-Sense GB ROMs, etc. In any case, try going to Settings, Applications, Manage Applications, All, Market. Clear Cache and re-boot. Hopefully things show up. If not, you may have to re-download them from the market as this may be the only way the Market will know about them.

TB is a great app, but it's hard to expect things in the Market app to work correctly for things that you restored and didn't install thru the Market.

MIKG 2.1 with the 3d rosie and 3d widgets.

This is not for everyone, but if you like to try the 3d rosie and 3d widgets that aamikam was working on, here is your chance.

Ok guys, this is the MIKG with the 3d rosie and 3d widgets that aamikam was working on, all this work was done by aamikam, I just added the 3d rosie and all the 3d widgets that he posted here:

Please read what aamikam wrote here.

http://themikmik.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=188&t=1462

I've tried to make a zip, but it kept giving me all sorts of problems

This is the whole rom with the 3d rosie and widgets.

On the first boot you r not gonna have the 3d clock, just add it to any other screen and move it to your home screen.

if any of your apps are leaning to the right, remove them from your home page and add them back.

To make the 3d rosie and 3d clock transparent, change the skin.

After you sync your accounts, restart.

Please don't be asking all sorts of question on this, read what aamikam wrote about why he did not created the zip himself.

Try it at your own risk, I am not responsible if your evo blows up or catches fire.

Again all props to aamikam, this is his MIKG sense 2.1 with the 3d Rosie and 3d widgets he posted.

voice to text problems?

has anyone had a problem with their voice to text? when i was running sprint lovers on froyo, the voice to text worked just fine for sms messages. now all i get is an error message telling me to speak louder no matter how loud i speak. i'm on v1.04 right now, but it had this problem in v1.03 (probably previous ones too but i didn't notice). nothing seems to be wrong with my mic either. i can talk to people on the phone just fine.

Find the PC36IMG.zip for your recovery and reflash it. Same thing happened to me, I think one of the wipe all scripts messed up the recovery for me. After I reflashed it no problem wiping the sd card ext.
[EVO 4G Android Development] leon sprouse:
First off I'm 68yo and not to savvy. I have es file explorer and until now never opened it. I put the boot zip on my sd card. Now I go to es and open sd card and find file. I press it and window opens up, I choose copy. Now (after much searching) I find system then customize than resourses. Now I go to menu.PROBLEM;;;;;there is no root to go to. but in settings there is ROOT OPTIONS. I click on it and find root explorer. I check box and find expermental feature with a warning I am really confused now. Mount file system is under root explorer but it is greyed out. After two hours this is where I am. HELP
[EVO 4G Android Development] xlGmanlx:
i think your just trying to copy and paste something no? if thats the case i use ES file explorer, just hold on the file you want to cut/copy/move etc then navigate to the destination location, click the up arrow and click the file, done!
[EVO 4G Android Development] ProCision:
I have been running this rom for 3 days now and love the look and feel but the battery drain is unbearable. So I flashed a new kernel Netarchy Toastmod -cfs-Havs-more-sbc and my battery life started off to be amazing. 100% battery for 1.5 hours then 98% after 3 hours. Then I needed to take a picture of something and my camera would not work. So I nandroid back to before the new kernel. So my battery life is back to sub par. I get a max of 4-5 hours and then I am at 15%-10%. This was also a problem with the latest CM7 and was one of the reasons I wanted something else.

What is a good Kernel for hardware ver. 0004 and this rom?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Lrod0175:
U almost there man, check root explorer and also check mount system, go back and paste the file.

After you are done pasting the file, go back and uncheck those items.
[EVO 4G Android Development] stkiswr:
You need to get root explorer to do what you are trying to do. I am unsure if es will let u do what u need to do. Sounds like u just want to move boot animation around. Get root explorer and Uninstalled the file explorer your currently using as that is the only file management you will ever need
[EVO 4G Android Development] jadeboy7:
Always the one-upper, huh Nick? I'm leaving it in though. That deserves it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] stkiswr:
What pri are you running and are u sure your phone is sleeping? There is no compatible kernel until HTC releases source code.
[EVO 4G Android Development] nick1313:
Leon..Flash this. Nandroid first, I haven't tested it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] nick1313:
I learned from the best. ;)
[EVO 4G Android Development] Rattor:
Ummm, you can't do that. There are no kernels for a Gingerbread-based Sense ROM yet. The kernel source was not released yet, so there are no kernels that will work with this ROM. Yet.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jadeboy7:
Aww, I'm flattered :rolleyes:.
[EVO 4G Android Development] nick1313:
Well actually..there is one that will work 100% and that is the one that comes with it.

And the others will work, but you will get the camera issue, among some other stuff.

Come on kernel source!!:mad:
[EVO 4G Android Development] nick1313:
Why? I never said who it was. :p
[EVO 4G Android Development] cfrock:
I have the dialer bug too.. upon opening phone the history behind the keypad is blank. You can add a couple of digits and the then backspace out of them and the history pops up.

Any fix to this? Really the only issue I've had on this rom, really great work!! I've wiped several times and reflashed but still the issue persist.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jadeboy7:
I knew you were going to say that. I almost said it myself in my last post :P.
[EVO 4G Android Development] nick1313:
Shoulda, coulda, woulda...but...

Didn't :p
[EVO 4G Android Development] Rattor:
Very true. I spoke hastily. No other kernels other than the one that comes with the ROM will work 100%.

menu > settings > about phone > battery > and make sure your awake time and uptime are different.
[EVO 4G Android Development] akilestar:
For starters take off that awful task killer. And I think he means partial wake usage, download the app called spare parts and you can view it in there. Partials wakes prevent your phone from sleeping which eats up battery. Its not a rom issue because everyone isn't having it. I get 12-15 hours with decent use.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ProCision:
Uptime 30:22:39

Awake time 08:53:20
[EVO 4G Android Development] jadeboy7:
I don't think Spare Parts shows partial wake usage on MikG for some reason. You have to use other methods, like OS Monitor and/or SystemPanel. Or just check Up time vs. Awake time like Nick said.
[EVO 4G Android Development] kc_hubbard:
It's basically an animation based on the boot screen image he posted first. It's not specifically MikG but it is pretty sweet! I recommend it, especially since MikG has the stock Sprint crap boot screen/animations anyway.
[EVO 4G Android Development] tiato:
Stock kernel not bad

Even though I do miss SBC kernel I find that the GB stock one is pretty too. I could easily go for a full day with moderate usage on stock battery.

as far as i know its not a flashable file you need to delete the existing widget apks and push the new ones in through adb, or copy and paste with root explorer.

Have you tried using a different charger? You may need to wipe bat stats but you need to fully charge your battery first.
[EVO 4G Android Development] tiato:
To rule out it's the ROM, power off your phone then let it charges until the light turns green. Also try a different charger like akilestar suggested and different battery too.
[EVO 4G Android Development] reverepats:
see now ive NEVER wiped my BATT STATS.....feeling like a noob today LOL....but thats OK....im alright with that hehe......so charger my battery to 100%....wiped batt stats....then just reboot?.....

[EVO 4G Android Development] akilestar:
If you have a Sprint store with a tech store close you can take in your battery and ask them to test it on their cadex machine.

EDIT: To answer your wipe battery stats question, after you charge to 100%, wipe stats and then let it drain until it shuts itself off.
