Just a heads up...I tried this for the first time today...I used Widgetsoid and this app is pretty nice. You can set it up as Power Control Widgets...just read the FAQ and instructions on how to (not that hard even for an old fart like me). Click the middle picture and you can see how they look. There are many flavors....
[EVO 4G Android Development] SteelH:
Nice find! Thanks for the info!
[EVO 4G Android Development] d0cx:
2 days with v1.05 and still going strong, solid, no issues.

Widgetsoid works beautifully too.
[EVO 4G Android Development] SteelH:
Good to hear.
[EVO 4G Android Development] sdwyz74:
sounds good but i never saw any screenies ??? Please advise thanks
[EVO 4G Android Development] d0cx:
This is because this is a stock ROM with nothing removed, and with the small modifications posted in the OP. The GUI changes are minimal at best.
[EVO 4G Android Development] aaanadie:
Hello,

I have CM7 nightly #116 & supersonic_4.24.651.1_barnaclesmod.

I get 54 Mbps in my home wifi with barnacles rom but 65 Mbps with CM7.

I reflashed supersonic_4.24.651.1_barnaclesmod from zero (wiping all) and got same result.

What about SteelRom_v1.05?

Thanks in advance.

Update:

I flashed SteelRom_v1.05 and got 54 Mbps.
[EVO 4G Android Development] SteelH:
I'll get some posted up for you Saturday.
[EVO 4G Android Development] PhantomPhreak53:
I have been using AOSP Roms for the past month or so and thought I would never come back to Sense roms. I must say yours is very impressive. I have been using it for about 4 days now and the battery life is very impressive. I never thought good battery life and sense rom could be used in the same sentence! :cool: The rom is very snappy and zero issues with it! The only thing I miss is the radio toggles in the notifications but I saw your post about not being able to include that. Keep up the good work!
[EVO 4G Android Development] jephyb:
Which kernel are you using with this ROM? Can anyone recommend one for longer battery life? I never know which one to flash on Sense ROMs...Thanks!
[EVO 4G Android Development] PhantomPhreak53:
I am using stock and it is running great!
[EVO 4G Android Development] d0cx:
there are no custom kernels because there is no source code for this ROM revision yet. in other words, i'm using the stock HTC kernel.
[EVO 4G Android Development] SteelH:

[EVO 4G Android Development] SteelH:
v1.06 up... It's a beta...
[EVO 4G Android Development] mdiaz33685:
thanks SteelH..

downloading now..
[EVO 4G Android Development] SteelH:
Let me know if you have any issues. This CIQ stuff is new to me, but I'd prefer they collect data on someone else's dime, not mine. Sprint should be paying us the $10/month for collecting data and using battery + bandwidth.
[EVO 4G Android Development] SteelH:
Battery life is always one of those highly variable things. YMMV.

But I can tell you this....

I unplug my phone at 5:00AM and head to residency, at 3:00PM I got to my two classes at the university, I get out of class around 8:30PM and get home around 10:00PM. I end up with between 10-30% battery left when I get home.

I'm hoping v1.06 with the CIQ crap disabled and not running, maybe it'll bump a bit more life out of the battery. In theory it should (the CIQ is always running, and uses your data connection to send info) , but we'll see what reality tells us. FreshEVO and MikG also have CIQ disabled, and those guys are smarter than I am.....
[EVO 4G Android Development] aaanadie:
Wireless N

Wireless N works in 1.06?

Every 4.24.651.1 based rom I tried got 54 Mbps at my home wireless but I got 65 Mbps with CM7 nightly and MikG.

I hope 1.06 have this solved
[EVO 4G Android Development] PhantomPhreak53:
What exactly does Disabling CIQ Frontend/Backend Daemons do? What are the expected benefits? Is it a privacy thing?
[EVO 4G Android Development] aaanadie:
Not only a privacy thing, battery life improvement too because it is something less running in background.
[EVO 4G Android Development] SteelH:
That's what I am hoping....
[EVO 4G Android Development] PhantomPhreak53:
Cool that's what I was thinking. I am definitely going to be flashing this tonight!
[EVO 4G Android Development] VTEC4ME:
Next mod for v1.07 maybe?????

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=15385268#post15385268
[EVO 4G Android Development] SteelH:
Yes. I mentioned thatin the OP a while back. However, you can just flash his mod right on any version of this ROM right now if you don'twant to wait for me.
[EVO 4G Android Development] sirwhistle:
DSP

hey steel is this the latest dspmanager, the reason i ask is because sometimes it works and sometimes it doesnt, anyone else have this problem? oh and by the way thanks for the work....
[EVO 4G Android Development] PhantomPhreak53:
Any reason you are not using the newest Market or Google Talk w/Video Chat? I added them to 1.05 and 1.06 and they are working fine.
[EVO 4G Android Development] suboveryde:
is hdmi mirroring working on this ROM?
[EVO 4G Android Development] SteelH:
I suggest you read about that in the HDMI win thread.
[EVO 4G Android Development] SteelH:
v1.07 now up.
[EVO 4G Android Development] d0cx:
Downloading. Thanks for keeping this ROM updated. :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] d0cx:
After flashing this ROM (with a complete data/system/boot/cache wipe), Market force-closes on me. Tried to flash the ROM a few times and it's still happening. I'm restoring back to v1.06 to see if it still works.

EDIT: Reverted to my v1.06 nandroid backup and Market works fine, version 2.3.4. There might be an issue with the updated Market.

EDIT2: Seems to be a known issue. See: http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/Android+Market/thread?tid=51f16ab0039717c8&hl=en
[EVO 4G Android Development] SteelH:
Strange. Working fine for me, download and updated a few things today and no FC. If u still want 1.07, just delete Vending.apk in 1.07 /system/app/ and then install Vending.apk from 1.06.
[EVO 4G Android Development] d0cx:
Will do that later. I'll let you know if it works.
[EVO 4G Android Development] d0cx:
Flashed v1.07 and replaced Vending.apk from v1.06 and Market now works correctly.
[EVO 4G Android Development] sivarticus85:
This did not work for me... My market disappeared completely when I did this. It wouldn't let me reinstall either. Am I doing something wrong?
[EVO 4G Android Development] d0cx:
Probably. On your v1.06 installation, using Root Explorer, copy Vending.apk from /system/app to somewhere in your sdcard. Do the necessary wipes and flash v1.07. When it boots up, copy the Vending.apk from your sdcard to /system/app (remember to toggle the r/w switch) overwriting the current one and make sure to set 644 permissions to the file. Reboot in recovery and wipe cache and dalvik. After booting up, Market should appear in your app drawer as usual.
[EVO 4G Android Development] sivarticus85:
Yeah there were a few steps in your post I didn't do. Thanks for explaining it for me bud.
[EVO 4G Android Development] d0cx:
Not a problem. Glad to help.
[EVO 4G Android Development] rizzoads:
Don't mean to muddy-up the thread, but the Market force closes for me as well after I flashed 1.07.

I don't have time to fiddle with it right now. Just wanted to mention it in case something needs to be fixed in the ROM.
[EVO 4G Android Development] d0cx:
Thanks for the feedback. I have one question. Do you use a "@gmail.com" account or do you use a Google Accounts one (email domain hosted on Gmail)? Not that it should be "the" problem but I'm just trying to get more information about why it works for some and not to others.
[EVO 4G Android Development] SteelH:
@gmail.com address.
[EVO 4G Android Development] rizzoads:
I use an @gmail.com address.
[EVO 4G Android Development] car_lost:
Is there a % battery mod for v1.07?
[EVO 4G Android Development] d0cx:
So I guess it's not that. Thanks.
[EVO 4G Android Development] d0cx:
The battery icon has been already modified in this ROM but if you want to make a different one, you can use the UOT kitchen here: http://uot.dakra.lt/kitchen/
[EVO 4G Android Development] rizzoads:
Thanks again. I went back to 1.06 and added the 4 in 1 reboot mod and the new Gtalk with video myself. I'll stick with this for now. Loving it so far.
[EVO 4G Android Development] d0cx:
Great.

10char
[EVO 4G Android Development] SteelH:
For those having truoble with the Market in v1.07, there is a newer one out now you could try HERE
[EVO 4G Android Development] d0cx:
I'm on it.

EDIT: Flashed the .zip on that thread, wiped cache and dalvik, and it seems to work. No force-closes on me.
[EVO 4G Android Development] PhantomPhreak53:
Little off topic but for the people using the new market, is it allowing you to update your apps? It shows I have an update for Facebook and Twitter but when I click on it, it only shows open or uninstall. I checked with another friend and he says his is doing the same thing.
[EVO 4G Android Development] rizzoads:
I was able to update several apps after I installed the new Market this morning, no problems here.
[EVO 4G Android Development] d0cx:
Yeah, I had the same problem updating Twitter yesterday. I had to uninstall it using TB and then reinstall it using the Market. If it gives you issues, using the http://market.android.com website will install it correctly as well.

Extra Info: In my case, I had Twitter installed on the /system/ partition instead of /data/.
[EVO 4G Android Development] PhantomPhreak53:
Hmm. Did you install the APK or use the flashable zip? Did you wipe anything after you installed it?
[EVO 4G Android Development] PhantomPhreak53:
Yeah I had to uninstall it and reinstall it as new in order to get it to work. My apps are all in the normal place.
[EVO 4G Android Development] danman132x:
I saw in the original post where SteelH said to do 2 PNG edits to change the green overscroll. How/where do I do these edits so I can completely get rid of it? Thanks
[EVO 4G Android Development] SteelH:
look in framework-res.apk res/drawable-hdpi for overscroll_edge.png overscroll_glow.png
[EVO 4G Android Development] danman132x:
One more thing, the Market is not working AT ALL for me :( I wiped Everything twice over, installed SteelRom again, checked md5 and perfect match, everything I can think of. Also cleared data and caches, went into recovery and wiped both caches there, but I'm still getting force closes of the android market the second it loads. I also have tried to install a new android marked apk, but this fails also. Any ideas?
[EVO 4G Android Development] SteelH:
Try flashing v1.06
[EVO 4G Android Development] lexxy2000:
Work Fine

With keeping with the default look and feel of my evo this rom is awesome. Everything works with no issues but yes there is always a but.

sense seems to restart alot when the battery get below 50% and the battery dies every quick and i have an extended life battery. I really thought i could get longer batter life with this rom.

Other than these to minor issues all is well and good. oh just remembered it mounts my sd card very slow too.
[EVO 4G Android Development] SteelH:
Very interesting feedback, quite the opposite of what others are experiencing. I can't say I get any Rosie/Sense restarts on this ROM (and I know what those are because I've had them on other ROMs). Unless several people report this type of issue, there's not much I can do as it is likely a unique issue to your phone/setup. I can also honestly say I am getting the best battery life I have ever had on my EVO (and this is my third one)
[EVO 4G Android Development] jayrizz:
Same here no issues onced flashed!!
[EVO 4G Android Development] mac_evo:
ROM v1.07 installed with no problem after doing a full wipe and format all script, however Market continually FC. Tried clearing data and cache, wiped cache and dalvik still no go.
[EVO 4G Android Development] d0cx:
This is a known issue. Your best bet is to flash the newest Market v3.0.26 linked earlier in this thread. Browse some pages back for more info.
[EVO 4G Android Development] d0cx:
Did you flashed after doing a full wipe? Do these symptoms are happening constantly to you?

I haven't experienced any of these symptoms and I use my EVO 4G a lot. I also reboot my phone once or twice a day when my battery dies and I just swap it for a fully charged one (I mostly use external chargers).
[EVO 4G Android Development] lexxy2000:
well i did do a full wipe it not a big deal to me it happens sometimes and sense restarts pretty quickly so i am not worried about it. it may be my phone as it give me an errors when backing up says sd/ext not found skipping. I know my phone maybe missing some folders or files. But it works only really rooted for hotspot use and a very cool looking rom which i have not found yet this is why i am sticking with this one as it has kept the stock look which has grown on me.
[EVO 4G Android Development] d0cx:
What recovery are you using? If you do not have your microSD card partitioned using 3rd party apps for the Apps2SD, then the message is normal. Amon RA skips backing up sd-ext because it's not there.
[EVO 4G Android Development] SteelH:
v1.08 up, just some minor updates
[EVO 4G Android Development] randymanlb:
Worked perfectly! Thank you!
[EVO 4G Android Development] reagan247:
I am having a v1.07 issue that prevents any of the album artwork on my songs to show on the lockscreen... anyone know what is going on with that? or how to fix it? I thought I'd be able to just clear the lockscreen cache, but that's not possible for some reason.

I'll try the v1.08 in a bit and update what I find... and yes, I did clear the Dalvik/cache before installing the last v1.07 update.
[Nook Color General] MrGeek:
Just got NC for early Father's Day! I luv ma fam!

Everything I been finding here talks about 2,4, or 8 gigs SD cards.

NC says it can use up to 32gig.

Anyone tried this? I figure SDHC 32 G class 6 would work.
[Nook Color General] harpo1:
Everything I've read states the higher capacity cards don't do well running ROMs. Like you I'm new to the nook so I"m sure someone else with more experience will chime in.
[Nook Color General] skwalas:
I have a 32 gig card installed right now. Works just fine as a data card.

If you want to run custom ROMS off the card, make sure its a sandisk. That flapping sound about larger sized card being bad for Roms is a buncha crap in my opinion (and I have the benchmarks on this card to prove it), but the BRAND of card makes a huge difference when running Roms. Avoid transcend and PNY like the plague.

That said, if you just want the card for data, then yes, the NC can handle them just fine.
[Nook Color General] harpo1:
What size Sandisk card do you recommend for running custom ROMs? I've read 8 but I really would like to run a 16.
[Nook Color General] skwalas:
With a sandisk, I can't see any reason why a 16 or even 32 gig card would give you trouble on roms.

Using the card to run your "operating system" seems to require a higher small-block read/write speed than most cards have. Two things seem to affect it: 1) brand (sandisk is currently the only way to go), and 2)it seems that higher classed cards sacrifice the small block performance a bit. This makes sense to me, since the classification related to large block sequential read/writes (iirc), so some trade-iffs are always expected.

See this thread for useful things.

And I think most people are buying the smaller card mostly because of price, and partly due to a herd mentality on threads like the above.
[Nook Color General] LBN1:
Sandisk 16gb is just fine for running the Rom off the sd card; that is my current setup.
[Nook Color General] harpo1:
What class? I'm having a hard time finding class 4.
[Nook Color General] Nburnes:
Funny how all the Transcend cards in all 3 Nooks in my house are brilliant. I've used Transcend for years and have never had a problem, be it in my cameras to my phones.
[Nook Color General] skwalas:
I was referring to the specific instance of using transcend for running cm7 for example. I understand transcend and patriot are decent when used for data, and I have PNY cards in our cameras, so they seem to work fine for data.
[Nook Color General] carlosraf20:
I have a wintec SDCH 16g class 4 and it works fine, but I only use it for data.
[Nook Color General] Blue6IX:
I've been looking into this, and here's what it boils down to:

Most MicroSD cards are set up for data transfer aimed at large files, such as video or high resolution pictures. The majority of the market these cards are manufactured for are digital camcorders, cameras, and smart phones with cameras.

They've gotten great at streaming media to and from the cards, and using them as storage mediums.

Running an operating system from the card requires a whole lot of small data transfers, which is not a specification that manufacterers pay much attention to. Most people would never notice improvement in this area of the manufacturing process, so the companies don't waste money on it.

Different manufacturers have different ideas of what their product should be capable of.

SanDisk is the brand that has consistently tested better for small data transfer then other card makers.

Running programs/operating systems from a MicroSD card is a new animal, something that hasn't really been done before now, and the tablet market is still in it's infancy.

I'm sure this issue will be addressed by the hardware makers of memory cards over the next year or so, but for now we are stuck with the task of trying to figure out what works for our purpose given what's available on the market right now.

All this being said, out of a handful of cards I own, my 16 gig SanDisk class 2 MicroSD card is my highest performing card - more then twice as fast as even 4 out of 5 of the 8 gig SanDisk cards I have.

Here is the link to the software we are using to test the cards: Crystal Disk Mark

Post 5 in this thread has a link that takes you to the one that has become our communal benchmark thread, and has a lot of info on this topic.

I would surmise that a 32 gig SanDisk brand card would probably be pretty good given that:

-Sandisk 8 gig cards (in class 2 and 4) are the general recommendation

-SanDisk 16 gig cards consistently test to a higher performance level then the 8 gig cards.

If this is the beginning of a pattern, and the larger capacity SanDisk cards are inherently manufactered to a higher small data standard, then theoretically the 32 gig card would be better.

But, this is only a theory. A 32 gig card is more then just a couple of bucks, and I don't think we have enough benchmarks on them yet to say one way or another.

Even with the SanDisk 8 gig cards, there is a wide range of what you could end up with on small data transfer speed. It's kind of pot luck. Even the slowest ones are many orders of magnitude faster then most other manufacturers, though.

This would be a good thread for people who do have 32 gig cards of any brand to chime in on, so we could keep the discussion about the largest supported capacity card on the Nook seperate from the other threads on this topic.
[Nook Color General] androidmonkey:
I saw a thread a week or so ago regarding testing class 4 cards and which were better. I just ordered a NC the other day. Anyone know the thread?
[Nook Color General] harpo1:
Thank you for a very informative post. As I mentioned earlier I'm new to the NC and your post has helped me considerably.
[Nook Color General] Blue6IX:
You might mean my thread on comparing speed results between different readers using the benchmark software.

It's more a look at the testing software and methods of doing so then the actual cards themselves.

The more people who post benchmark results in the thread skwalas linked to back in post 5, the better of an idea we'll have of what works for us.

The amount of information we've collected so far in such a short time is astonishing - this is a great community.
[Nook Color General] LBN1:
Sandisk 16gb, Class 4; Got it from Radio Shack a month or so ago on sale for like $25.
[Nook Color General] polarborn:
32 Gig

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004G7D0IW

Bought this one about a month ago. Transferred my 16G class 2 from Radio Shack to the 32G then expanded the partition. I run CM7 off the SD. Works GREAT!. I run movies, apps from the card with tons of room.
[Nook Color General] MrGeek:
Thanks for all the replies! They been very helpful!

However...

I tried downloading that and it got flagged as malware by Microsoft Security Essentials.
[Nook Color General] lucas993:
Rocking a 32 Lexar Class 10 here. Just download SD Tools from the market and its running 11 MB/s write and 25 MB/s read.
[Nook Color General] fuul4nook:
IIRC, Lexar splits their Class X cards into two more classifications, a regular and an Ultra class. Which one was yours?

Also, Radio Shack currently has 8gb Sandisk C4 cards for sale at 14.99. Perfect for playing with an SD install. With Crystal mark and a cheapie USB reader I got 2.5mb/s read, 1.5 mb/s write (both of the small block ones). I believe these are the important ones for an SD card based ROM?
[Nook Color General] Taosaur:
I suspect the main reason there's not much info out there on 32GB cards is that people are less willing to drop $50-80 on something that may not work (IF they're trying to run a custom ROM from the card). If you're not trying to set up a custom ROM install on the SD, get any card you want--you may appreciate that higher sequential read/write in the higher class cards when you're moving multiple GB of movies or music to and from the card.

From everything I've read, the size of the card makes no difference whatsoever. The only reason people harp on the 8GB and 16GB Sandisk cards is because those specific models (both class 2 and 4 in those sizes) have been tested many times and return both reliably high small-block random writes and positive anecdotal reports for running ROMs. The size, manufacturer and class are irrelevant in and of themselves: they just let us identify specific models identified as most consistently working well.

Also, CrystalDiskMark is not malware: just do a custom install and choose not to install whatever is bundled with it (do this always for all software, I'd say). It's whatever program they use to suggest other software that triggers the false positives in security programs.
