Sorry if this one's been beat to death....

I did a nandroid of this rom to try another... When I restored, my downloaded apps and widgets were missing. I downloaded them back again and the settings for each app were still there. Why so??

Did you backup sd:ext or .android.secure as part if your backup? They will house your app, but the data partition will keep your personal settings.

Sent on the go, from my evo.
[EVO 4G Android Development] majorhunadadun:
I've had that one too. My market was still there this time. I've never experienced this from a nandroid. Does something extra have to be saved?
[EVO 4G Android Development] majorhunadadun:
I normally do boot, system, data and wimax. I've never had to do sd-ext or android secure. So if I do those in addition I wont have this problem?

[EVO 4G Android Development] steal25:
if you gonna use a2sd its best to store it in the partition

a2sd cachepart
[EVO 4G Android Development] steal25:
glad you got things running smooth, but all the credit Goes to Aamikan.
[EVO 4G Android Development] coiledwire:
So you should backup sd:ext if you use Dark Tremors' a2sd. And its a good idea to backup .android.secure as some apps automatically install there.

You should add these 2 to your backup. This is probably why you don't have your apps when restoring, but your settings are there when you reinstall the apps.

Also be careful adding wimax to every backup. If your backup of the wimax gets corrupted in any way, and you restored that corrupted version, your wimax will have problems. Then you'll have to try to restore old backups or other methods. Either way, I'd suggest avoiding that drama and don't add wimax to your standard backups.

Do a wimax backup by itself, and save that backup on your pc, the cloud, elsewhere than just your SD card. This way if the wimax partition takes a dive, you have a standalone backup of it to help you recover from this problem.
[EVO 4G Android Development] coiledwire:
Same thing as my post above. Be careful adding wimax to every backup. I suggest doing a wimax backup by itself for insurance, and not in every standard backup.
[EVO 4G Android Development] coiledwire:
I wasn't able to reply to you earlier. Same question; did you backup sd:ext and .android.secure? Apk files are stored in these locations if you (1) use DT a2sd, and (2) apps automatically install there. However, your personal settings for these apps still are stored in /data partition, which you most likely did backup.

Also, some previous versions of mikG had the market in the /data partition, not in the /system partition. I don't remember the version of MikG, and I don't know which version you saved a backup of. Again, if you used DT a2sd, this is a possible reason why your market isn't there after you've restored.
[EVO 4G Android Development] darthinflux:
I recommend wiping your battery cache. I was having the same issues this fixed the problem
[EVO 4G Android Development] Bloodykiller86:
ok theres definately something wrong here either with the kernel or something....i just charged my othet batteries on the seperate wall charger and they were full on that so i switched ne into the phone and it comes up at 16% .....is the kernel not getting the correct percentage from the battery or something lol
[EVO 4G Android Development] merkk:
maybe you need to wipe battery stats and go through one of the battery calibration routines (google search it - i've seen several posted on this site)
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:

[EVO 4G Android Development] merkk:
oh - sorry, that's the end of my suggestions ;) I haven't seen that problem myself - battery life seems really good for me with a standard battery. Maybe you need to do a full wipe and reflash? Might as well wait till he finishes uploading the 2.01 and flash that if you do decide to do a full wipe.
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
update is live... have fun.
[EVO 4G Android Development] metayoshi:
Updated to 2.1 from 2.0 using the update script. Everything was going smoothly until I got a reboot upon opening the XDA App. No biggie though. I probably just need to wait for the ROM to settle.

I'm not really interested in the new features, but I do like keeping up to date, and the new features for the browser are pretty interesting.

Loving this ROM. Keep up the good work.
[EVO 4G Android Development] agentphantom:
Damn bro, you are a madman. Do you ever get any rest???
[EVO 4G Android Development] teexx2000:
so if I apply just the update zip what are the steps to apply it. Download and then...

This will be the first time i've ever been on a rom long enough to have an update applied while I was still rocking the old version:). (thus didn't have to wipe and flash).

Or do I have to wipe and flash?
[EVO 4G Android Development] NYCHitman1:

One question, does this mean the new base is the 4.24.651.1 OTA, or is it supposed to say "Patched needed files FROM the new Evo OTA"?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Deejaydark:
Just wanted to say thank you.. I have noticed that once I unplugged from charger my battery went down to 98% within a minute... Maybe I need to wipe battery again & see what happens.. other than that this is smooth & fast

[EVO 4G Android Development] mordbane:
I wouldn't think so. Remember even the new EVO OTA is still Sense 1.0. I'm pretty sure the base is still from the Speedy (Shift) OTA which is Sense 2.1.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ckoadiyn:

[EVO 4G Android Development] ckoadiyn:
It is but the patched files are from EVO ota to fix sense

From King's Rom

Good Morning (EST)

I'm coming from King's ROm...

I wipe everything? How? Do I just go into RA and wipe each item?

Do I format the SD card i.e. 64mb swap and 1024?
[EVO 4G Android Development] bluenadas:
I'm running v2.0 and my maps app works without issue as I mentioned before.

Are you performing a full wipe before installation? There is a link in my sig that details the proper flashing procedure....give that a try and see what comes of it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] bluenadas:
For the SD card those figures are recommended for a card >8GB....32MB Swap and 512MB if less than that.

If you are formatting the SD card you can wipe everything under the RA wipe screen....if you want to preserve the SD card information (pictures, etc) DO NOT wipe the SD card option but do everything else.

Has the native htc mail app problem been fixed yet...
[EVO 4G Android Development] ejc1214:
I am still getting a bunch of emails when I open the app. I switched to gmails accounts to the gmail app and that seems to be working but my other three pop accounts do not sync still. That is the only problem I am having with GB ROMS. And I wiped and wipe and wipe and re-downloaded to make sure I did not have corrupted file. Nothing seems to work for me. I even set it up as exchanges and other than eating my battery up, it did diddly squat! LOL

The native email app worked like a charm in 2.2 so I am wondering what HTC did to the app. Also, I wonder if one can go back and get all the files from Froyo and put them into GB? Or can someone look at the files and see it anything is different? I have tried other GB ROMs and they all do it so it is not just Miks. This is still the best GB ROM out there. For me anyway.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Smidgers:
Does the sd card swap make a big difference? I am running 2.0 without it and think it is very fast as-is compared to other roms. Is it worth adding the sd card swap?
[EVO 4G Android Development] stkiswr:
Wow. This is nice! Lots of options in v2.1 and I see you use darktremors a2sd. I am partitioned and will have to become more familiar w that thru terminal. I came from kingdom b1.3 and wiped everything 3 times and flashed. After titanium restored just my apps I have this left...

I haven't ran any commands as its running nicely. Will have to take tomorrow to view battery life but hoping for the best. I may just run it as is due to the way its handling things now. The new options in the browser are sweet for rotation animations. Overall I am very happy w this after 2 hours. Still haven't tested WiFi but mms, sms, calls, data etc are spot on! Thank you for this gem of a Rom

So for your other POP3 account your logging onto the web and manually logging in to yahoo or your work email server and checking them??? kind of a pain but I love this rom.. lol BTW the htc mail app was syncing and working great in MIKg's 1.03 ver of the rom... wish I could steal the apk from their somhow. lol

No I am just opening the app form time to time to get my mail and that is when I get flooded from time to time with a lot of emails that were sent as much as 2-3 hours prior to my checking. I just do it a lot more often now.

[EVO 4G Android Development] hercules rockefeller:
first of all, apologies if this is a NOOB question, but I've had a recurring error with this rom, going back to v1.04, v2, and now v2.1. What happens is I'll flash the rom (via the normal method of wiping everything but the SD card in AmonRA 2.3 then flashing the rom), get everything up and running just fine, then a couple of days later i reboot and the phone hangs on the white HTC screen. It's usually on the 3rd or 4th boot as it takes a couple of reboots to get everything set up (reboot to flash theme, to make Andguard work, to make nandroid backup work, etc.) at this point the only thing that will make the phone come back up is a nandroid restore to a completely different ROM (for example GingerAle), or a complete wipe and flashing the latest version of MikG.

Could the root cuase be a problem with my sd ext3 partition? I've had problems any time I've used a rom that uses darktremor A2SD, so I've generally avoided those. Is there a way for me to verify that my ext-3 partition is setup properly? and if not, would it be recommended for me to backup and reformat my SD card, and then create the SD-ext3 partition (per the instructions posted a few pages back)?

First boot my HTC_IME Mod kept force closing from without me even pressing anything. I re installed and the problem was gone. Then the phone started vibrating by itself for about 15 seconds and it rebooted by itself.

When it rebooted everything was fine until I used the camera. I took a picture them tried to erase it and the phone rebooted by itself. After that I did the same thing and it worked fine.

I wiped cache and dalvik before flash. Everything seems to be working fine now. I downloaded the full 2.1 update just in case but it feels stable now.
