For some reason I don't have that option. Swype comes with the ROM correct? I don't even get a select all or copy/paste option when i press and hold.

Edit: check next post

Swipe was taken out in version 2.3. There is a post on themikmik.com on how to get it back. Check back 10 or so pages for a post about how to add it. Basically you have to copy a few files but not sure which

No problem. If you're flashing similar ROM's, it might not bite you as often. I strayed to the dark side and ran CM7 for a while though, and got bit badly by not doing all the individual wipes. Learned my lesson the hard way.
[EVO 4G Android Development] kc_hubbard:
I just went to the Swype site and downloaded the latest version. Works fine. That way you get the version meant for GB roms (you don't get the cut and paste overlaying the word choices). Works great.

for the life of me I cannot get market to show up on 2.3 so I decided to go through the rom looking for vending.apk/Market and its not there...lol

So I just slapped a vending.apk from another rom re-signed and flashed...and now I have market..woot

i shall give that a shot...I'm going to blame megaupload for the 3 bad downloads it gave me if thats the case :D

Selected a different host lets see what happens. the md5 check matched though but we'll see.

Edit: thannks again, I installed that fancy new market that came out, its working great.

Another thing: has anyone noticed moving dalvik to cache partition frees up about 50+mb of ram? I just did it. went from 109mbs free at boot (after killing all) to 160 free at boot (killing all) im sure theyre not related but i'm not gonna turn down free ram =]
[EVO 4G Android Development] jadeboy7:
The market included in the ROM is in /data/app with the name "com.android.vending-1.apk".
[EVO 4G Android Development] panamakid:
ah well didnt work out for me unfortunately...slapped market 3.0 in /system/app/ and all is well.

Thanks for pointing that out for me.
[EVO 4G Android Development] deck82:
Nope...but bout to try becuase I'm normally around 90 to 100 MB free and I've been running lowmem-optimum to free up a little but ill take an extra 50!
[EVO 4G Android Development] mswlogo:
I think there might be a minor problem with this ROM. Most ROM's you can wipe "Data" (Factory Reset) and it will be just like a "Fresh install". And you should have core Google Apps and Market. If you Wipe DATA After you flash (which is typically fine for most ROMs) you end up with nothing on this 2.3 ROM. No Market, No Nav, No Maps etc.

I'm not sure if Market (and Core Apps) is normally in System or part of a Data Wipe copies some core Google Apps to Data. But I ran into this issue as well because I wiped Data after I flashed.

If you wipe Data before you flash it should be there (As well as a bunch of other stuff).

I think it double booted first boot and you have to be careful not to touch the phone until it's "Done". Which can be hard to tell sometimes.

I suspect you'll have more things missing than just Market.

Okay, I need to get this front facing camera working as it crashes everytime I try to open it. I have MIK ROM and I have 2.1 -3.0

Can someone please assist me and try to tell me what's causing this? I don't like these type of issues.
[EVO 4G Android Development] meanmeanstride:
I love the new trace feature for the HTC IME keyboard. I'm a long time Swype user but prefer the look and feel of the IME. However, the word prediction is nowhere near as good as Swype's, especially when it comes down to words with a double letter. I like the idea though :D
[EVO 4G Android Development] sah0724:
Figured it out, had to clear the camera data and it worked again. This is a great rom, battery life isn't that great but it works great.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jadeboy7:
No problem. As long as you got it working, that's basically all that matters :).
[EVO 4G Android Development] jadeboy7:
I believe "normally" these apps are in the system partition, but aamikam did put a lot of them in the data partition to save space because Sense 2.1/3.0 are fairly large. This also allows many of these apps to be uninstalled easily if one so chooses. I don't think it causes any problems for the large majority of people anyway. You can look in /data/app (in the ROM or in the .zip) and see which ones are there for yourself. You should also be able to reinstall them normally using the .apk's from there if you did decide to wipe /data.

p.s. The Market was moved to /data/app in 2.3. In 2.2 it was still in /system/app.
[EVO 4G Android Development] bdogg:
I thought the same thing when i first flashed..but i found this article that greatly improved the battery life.. just by following some of the tips i was able to improved it significantly. I also set my setcpu profile to scale down cpu usage when screen is off.. it helps a lot.

anyone else getting "insufficient storage" errors when downloading apps from the market after flashing 2.3 with a full wipe? i noticed my gmail app was missing even though HTC did a pretty good job of restoring damn near everything else... but I have 300-something MB free phone memory (gmail is like 2.something MB) and I still error everytime...?

Is your SD card partitioned? If so try link2sd to link all your apps and to apply the market fix. if its not partitioned, then you might want to do that. it makes a world of difference.

More Storage

Noticed a few posts about storage space lately, thought I'd chime in w/ something I'm using that helps a lot.

Couple of weeks ago I started using Calks Custom MTD tool to carve out custom amount of space for System and Cache and it works GREAT. I currently have mine set to 300MB for System and 100MB for Cache. With 77MB of apps/stuff I still have 462MB free. System is 99.3% full and Cache is 48.5% full. Cache will obviously fill up w/ dex files the more apps you install, but still. That's a lot of storage left free for me to use.

Be sure to read thru Calks thread..thoroughly. It's not really very complicated, but there are a few extra steps involved in flashing ROMs/kernels/nandroid's.

Check it out!
[EVO 4G Android Development] kc_hubbard:
Sounds like your /cache is full. Boot to recovery, wipe cache and dalvik, then reboot. All the dex files for your apps will still show up in cache, but at least you'll clear out any residual download files etc that may help.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Hisma:
i'm sure it's probably been mentioned, but is it safe to do a system + apps restore in titanium after doing a full wipe from 2.2 to 2.3?
[EVO 4G Android Development] pmacevad:
Has anyone had problems with Google services like Google maps or Google+ giving a login failed message or not logging in? Does anyone know a fix? Did a fresh install. I tried clearing data in maps and rebooting, uninstalling maps, rebooting and reinstalling. Is there something else I can try? Cm recovery if it matters. Thx.

[EVO 4G Android Development] coiledwire:
I wouldn't suggest to restore any system app or data on any rom. I'm sure there are special cases, but in general I'd avoid it. You can most likely restore app and app data though without too much risk.

[EVO 4G Android Development] jadeboy7:
ClockWorkMod recovery is known to not always wipe properly, so I recommend using Amon_RA's recovery. His thread with downloads and installation instructions is here. You can also "flash alternate recovery" in ROM Manager (it has been updated to the latest version). Note that CWM nandroids are not compatible with Amon_RA and will need to be redone.

Once you switch recoveries, try following this or this to flash.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Hisma:
makes sense

it almost always causes problems for me... i'll stick to apps only.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jadeboy7:
Big +1 on that. Generally, restoring anything system-related leads to issues.

Just saying thanks for an job! Not sure what changed between 2.2 & 2.3 but I'm seeing a notable increase in battery life. Keep up the great work!
[EVO 4G Android Development] thx0849:
Sorry in advance if I missed it in previous pages, but is there a reason not all of my apps show up under"my apps" in the new market? Only about 16 show up of 50+ I have installed and run fine. I can search for a missing one and it shows as installed but not on the list.
[EVO 4G Android Development] the_plattypus:
I know with 2.3, some of the apps were moved from /system/app to /data/app and I believe the market reads the /system when it searches. Not 100% sure but I'm sure coiled, jade, or kc can confirm this.

Edit: open the rom zip on your pc and look in those file directories and see if there is a correlation.

Did you restore your apps with Ti Backup or download and install them directly from the market? If you used Ti Backup, try to go into settings and repair market links.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Captain_Throwback:
This seems to be related to the fact that the new Market APK that's floating around doesn't include Market Updater. Installing the old version, then reinstalling the new version seems to get it working (i.e. seeing any restored apps). I'm not sure if the new Market app was designed as a standalone or just an upgrade, but doing what I said above fixed that problem for me.
[EVO 4G Android Development] thx0849:
Yes, I restored then using titanium pto. Tried repairing market links to no avail on previous attempt. As to where 2.3 sees or installs apps, on three older market ask my apps were listed, think this had to be a new market issue. Will try again to fix market links, brb.

Just saw the above post, where can I get the old market to install the new one?( btw I didn't instal l the new market, it came with rom)
[EVO 4G Android Development] bluenadas:
Sideloading any app will make it not appear in the "My Apps" link under Market (Using TB, Mybackup, etc)

One quick way to resolve this is to go into settings and clear data for the Market App. Reopen the app and it should scan your phone and add any apps to the list....

Captain_Throwback essentially did this when he loaded the Markets over themselves...it made the Market go through the initial start-up and scan for installed applications....

Thanks. Figured it out. Ended up just reflashing and only restoring the market apps only/no data. Fixed it. Now I'm just trying to figure out exactly how to update Wimax, Radio, PRL, NV, and hboot. I'm sure it can't be too hard. :)

Sent from my Evo 4G running MikG v2.3.
[EVO 4G Android Development] bluenadas:
Here is the latest radios/Wimax/PRL in a single zip...flash through hboot and NOT through recovery. Rename file PC36IMG.zip if hboot does not see it at first.

Be advised updating radios/wimax/etc has been known to hose your kernel and you might need to reflash it.....link to latest Kernel if you need it.

ALSO BE ADVISED UPDATING RADIOS IS THE ONLY SURE-FIRE WAY TO BRICK THE EVO!!!! Let the phone do it's thing and make certain you have a good battery charge.

Also, make certain you do a nand of your wimax BEFORE doing this as it's been known to remove your MAC and key...both are vital to 4G operation and without the nand you won't be able to retrieve them.

As for the hboot...what version are you currently running? Typically there is NO reason to change your hboot....it's like a computer bios....if you are not having issues...DON'T MESS WITH IT!

zip installs

sometimes when I want to install a file that is a zip it won't install. I think maybe it has to be "signed" to work but I don't know. I just tried a zip file and tried flashing it in recovery and got "installation aborted". how do you install these files? I installed "Zip Signer" and tried it but still get "Installation aborted" I know this is a noob question but I finally got tired of not being able to install these files.

Remind me again how to get to hboot and not rebooting in recovery mode? Are you talking about rebooting into the "bootloader" and having it read the PC36IMG.zip file automatically? I'm rooted and using Amons recovery.
[EVO 4G Android Development] bluenadas:
Hboot is the bootloader... Simply turn off the phone and hold the volume down and power at the same time. It'll look something like this

And yes....if you store a file on the root of your SD card with the name PC36IMG.zip the boot loader will automatically see it and ask if you want to install.

Possible issue with DTMF Tones.

I tried calling work yesterday and have to dial an extension.

Dialed 128 but I got extension 111 !!!

It could have been a fluke, I could not confirm this because I just activated my EVO 3D(which is a pretty awesome phone and looks like a keeper - even without root). I tried the exact same call and extension and it worked fine.
[EVO 4G Android Development] leon sprouse:
Its an application I found. Instead of an apk it was a zipfile that the site downloaded. I tried everything to get it installed but always get "install aborted" after it starts the install. Anytime there is a zipfile (singed ones work ) download I don't know how to put it on the phone. I do have amon-ra 2.3 and can install anything but these files. I opened it and there was NO apk file in it. here is all the file has in it.....Assets.......META-INF.....res.....Android Man. ....classes.dex....resourses.arsc......... NO APK.
[EVO 4G Android Development] BonkyMoon:
Try renaming the .zip to .apk and installing it like a regular app, it's entirely possible that wherever you got it from had changed the extension to .zip. You can take any .apk and rename it to a .zip and open it as a .zip file, but you can't flash it as an update.zip
[EVO 4G Android Development] the_plattypus:
It's really hard to say what the issue is with it without seeing it and knowing what is going on with it....please post link...

^ this may ne the issue of the site that it is uploaded to doesn't allow .APK file extensions they might have renamed it .zip to circumvent this issue. Again, if changing extension doesn't work, please post link.

Okay.

Make sure you upload the file into your public folder on dropbox so people can access it. Quite simple once you set it up. Takes about 5 min.

rock, no source code, no overclocking, 2.3 does have some underclocking support.

Dee, this rom is sense 2.1 with some sense 3.0 feature. It is on version 2.3 of release. So no source code released yet, so you are pretty much stuck with the one that comes with it unless you wamt to flash some netarchy kernels but you will loose some functionality like camera.
