I just hit thanks, and as I intend to use a bunch of your superb mods starting tomorrow (when I get my rooted EVO!!!) there'll be a few-drinks-worth donation coming, too.

Your efforts have always impressed me, but you've really hit your stride whilst I was UNrooted. Once I'm back and using them I will gleefully reward you, because it's the right thing to do, and you certainly deserve it!!

Anyone running Godzilla Mode with the 3.0 rosie and widgets have mms issues. I did a fresh flash of gmode and added that 3.0 rosie and widget zip modded for gmode.

Now, when I select a pic from gallery to send an mms it doesn't work. Or I create an mms using the messaging app and try to add a pic from gallery, it doesn't work right.

I had to select the pic like 4x before it attached. It kept duplicating whatever text I had written, instead of attaching the pic. Weird. It ran fine on gmode with no 3.0 rosie prior.

The Story So Far - No DT love

I want to install RC 2+, plus DT before any apps load. So, here is what I did, and the problems I am having. I have been reading this since RC 2+ was released Friday, so I had hoped I did everything correctly.

Using Amon_Ra 2.3.3, I flashed VR_SUPERWIPE, then Caulin_'s_FORMAT_ALL, then wiped everything but the SD Card itself. I then flashed RC 2+. (I have a 32gb sd card, with a 2048 sd ext-3 partition and 64 swap)

It seemed to load normally, although it took a while.

When it had finished flashing, I had Amon_Ra turn off the phone. I inserted the usb cord and recharged back to full. I then booted up, with the usb cord removed. It took about 5 minutes in total.

Once it booted up, I then restarted into recovery. While the phone was shutting down, I heard some tones for mms messages.

I wiped dalvik and cache and then flashed DT for RC 2+.

I then rebooted. The lock ring appears, no problem. When I unlock the phone I received 2 fcs - process.com.android.mms and process.com.htc.bg When I clear the 2 fcs, all I receive is the white screen with the green "htc". :eek:

Rebooting did not solve this. Same errors and same white screen with the green "htc".

A battery pull and reboot did not either. Now I get a fcs for process.com.android.mms, process.com.htc.bg and process.com.android.phone

I know I should re-wipe and re-flash RC 2+. That's pretty clear.

The question is how do I go about installing DT for RC 2+ before re-loading my 237 apps? I want to have the cache in internal memory, as my phone is awfully sluggish. There are times (especially when trying to make a phone call when it is basically so slow as to be useless.)

FYI, when I tried to install DT in RC 2, I received a low memory error. That is why I want to install it up front.

Thanks in advance.

The weirdest thing just happen, I was on RC2+GM....I flashed the v0.2 and my phone booted up good but the 4G wasn't working...I booted into recovery, did factory reset and wiped both caches, I then tried to do did nand restore back to RC2 without GM to test the kernel...once the nand restore competed, I flashed the kernel and tried to boot my phone up but I the was stuck splash screen for about 30 minutes, I pulled the battery, booted into recovery, did factory reset, wiped both caches and tried to do the the restore to RC2 again without flashing the kernel, but I still couldn't get past the splash screen...pulled battery, booted to recovery, did factory reset, wipe both caches and tried to restore a different nand back up of RC2, when the restore was complete I tried to boot my phone up, it would sit on the splash screen for a lol while and reboot itself, this kept going on and on until I pulled battery, did reset, wiped both caches and did a nand restore to RC1, and it booted up correctly...does anyone know what may have caused this? I couldn't write you guys while all of this was goin on bcuz I'm not around a computer and my phone is the only way to communicate with you guys, looks like I'm gonna have to just flash RC2 again since none of my backups seem to work

My absolute pleasure!!

I almost bought an older hboot/software but only 3 weeks out-of-the-box EVO Saturday but the deal went south. When I posted my frustration about it, Ethan (Watcher07) offered to swap phones with me!!! He basically only uses his for GPS, and mine will work fine for that.

He's shipping his this morning and I'm shipping mine back tomorrow after I get his on my number.

In the vernacular of my people, he's a real mensch!!!

Woooooohoooooooo...a rooted phone!:D:p:D

:cool:

Oh, PS - Vlingo did NOT work. After extensive attempts I wound up calling my SPrint tech guy, who informed me that there is something in GB that destroys the "gain" control for the microphone. They're aware of it and working on a fix as it's a very widespread issue. I shoulda called them first...:rolleyes:

SUCCESS...finally!

Running Synergy RC2+GodMode

Non-GodMode Quadrant Scores: 1188/1252/1292

GodMode Quadrant Scores: 1686/1791/1822

Successfully flashed the following mods (thanks to Brozono):

- Custom KISS Lockring

- AppWidgetPicker

- Sprint Lovers Mod*

- Additional Quick Settings*

NOT using da2sd. Tried it, seemed like a lot more lag and took a lot more of my internal space. I always keep Dalvik on SD anyway because I've never really had lag issues on this phone. I have around 70 apps installed and I have 82% internal storage free (343MB).

I notice a pretty decent improvement in 'snappiness', especially in opening and closing things. No lag on pulldown at all.

*I still would desperately like for Sprint Lovers and Additional Quick Settings to play nice together. I want the colored notification bar icons and Speedo battery gauge of Sprint Lovers with the extra settings and dark theme of Additional Quick Settings. Anyone...anyone...

Thanks to everyone who had a part in either creating these things or helping me figure out how to use them!

Awesome news sir. :o
[EVO 4G Android Development] nYdGeo:
You've already acknowledged that there is not direct, right or wrong answer, showing wisdom. Of course, I can only tell you my experience, but if you accomplish the same thing I cannot imagine you being disappointed.

So far, my nicest, snappiest, most nice to live with day to day ROM begins with a clean flash of myn's Synergy (no Godzilla-mode). Immediately after getting it up and running the first time, I went back to recovery and flashed DTa2sd, which automatically relocated the dalvik cache back into memory on the reboot. I restored Terminal Emulator and configured DTa2sd to move apps to sd of course (a2sd datasd). Also in terminal emulator I ran zeppelinrox amazing "V6_SuperCharger_for_Android" shell script (had it on the root of my SD).

From there you just build your ROM. But the above should produce one slick, fast, lag-free phone that just does everything extremely well.

I wish that I had the same luck with the Godzilla-mode ROM, but flashing DTa2sd (Godmode-version of course) screwed up something, producing more lag, and brought Quadrant scores from 1750-1800 to 1050-1100. I have no idea how or why, but it ruined the ROM. May try again later.

I hope that this proves useful, and good luck!

Thank you for your time.

There is a way to do it manually with adb or TE, but it isn't the most user friendly...

-------------------------------------------------------------

Neil, FWIW, I would never recommend restoring a nandroid from a different phone. Obviously WiMax would be the biggest reason, but I don't back that up with every nandroid, I have it stored separately in a couple different formats.

Point is there are so many hardware differences among various EVOs anyway that you are just better off starting from scratch...

It works great on my phone but then again I've had mine since Sept. 2010 before Sprint and HTC started jacking things up. :eek:

Try that app again with the rooted phone you're getting and you'll see. :D
[EVO 4G Android Development] Persnlmgr:
You're spot on on all counts, Shaun.

I've decided to start from scratch. Ethan's shipping the phone with a raw install of Syn RC2 (and the hysterical new Splash Screen he made for me) and I'm going to build from there.

When last I tried Synergy it was still in nightlies and I wasn't sold. Obviously, at RC2, it should be absolutely perfect for me. All of you certainly seem to love it!

Plus, it'll get me back in the groove of manipulating a rooted phone, something I'm surely rusty at right about now...

RC2+Godmode= White HTC EVO Splash Screen

O.K I am experiencing this issue and so are many others in this forum when I install RC2+ using Amon_Ra 2.3 and wipe everything even tried different formatted SD card the install goes perfect until I reboot and get stuck at white HTC EVO splash screen I have 003 Hardware and tried downloading ROM several times still same thing. Is RC2+ not compatable with some of our hardware? never had any problem flashing ROMs until this one. Anyone else having this issue? Regular RC2 runs fine just not the Godmode ROM.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Jjday7:
I have absolutely everything set up to my liking but there is just one thing that I am missing.

Is there a htc_ime with the arrows available that works with this rom? I tried the one from RC2 and it was a no go. Tried everything to get it to show but it just didn't. I noticed this was asked earlier but I didn't see a definete answer on what worked and didn't.

Do me a favor, transfer the contents of your SD card to your computer and then go to the wipe menu and wipe everything listed including the SD card. The card will be freshly formatted. Your partitions will remain intact minus any apps. Afterwards, flash the rom. There should be nothing preventing you from successfully flashing this rom with updated radios, a properly partitioned & formatted SD card, a complete wipe and an uncorrupted downloaded rom.

By the way, I apologize for the delayed response. I'm watching "Battle: Los Angeles" on DVD... :)

[EVO 4G Android Development] trollallot:
Well if you flashed the carousel with the 3d widgets. The synergy clock widget did go poof. Lol. Now to get the 3d clock widget you will have to add it to the homescreen in widget settings. If it's not showing you need to sign in to htc hub and select get more widgets. The carousel with 3d widgets is not my mod nor do I use it. Dkduke had specific instructions for install on it which if you click on the link for it in the 2nd post here you will get them.

Also fyi to theme that clock is very different then any of the themes done here. None of the themed clocks will work with the 3d clock widget that are posted in this thread. One thing going for you though! I know how to theme it if you want to keep it.

Otherwise flash any of the other Rosie mods I've done in my thread that DO NOT include 3d widgets and you will be Golden. Let me know if you need more help.

I believe that is the name for a similar app on Samsung devices. HTC's is HTC IQ Agent or something, not a real important distinction. I don't think Myn removed it, but I always freeze it with Titanium...

Carrier IQ is still present with this rom.
[EVO 4G Android Development] tuscolavol:
Not being critical at all. I've been accused of being over-the top OCD when it come to flashing stuff myself but I think you got me beat. I'm a little confused about what your process is and why you did it the way you did.

First...237 apps? Where are you getting that number? is it from Titanium Backup when you open it up? TI shows the number of app data elements when you open it up. If so, mine is at 299. Or is the 237 number actual apps installed from the Market? When you go into Titanium, hit menu/batch and read how many User Apps it says you have. Is that number 237? Mine says 39. If you have 237 INSTALLED apps, that might be a problem.

This is how I flash this rom with dta2sd.

Do the full wipe including Caulkin's Format all. VR Superwipe is good too but both are overkill since I think they both do the same wipes.

Flash the rom

Reboot. There's no need to turn off the phone and/or recharge. Just be above say... around 70% before you start.

After reboot is finished, skip the set-up of Google, Facebook and emails. That way if you have the auto-restore of your apps set, it won't do it yet. Although it doesn't matter if your apps are already installed or not, a2sd will move them either way.

Let your home page come up and then go back into Recovery.

Since you state you are already partitioned, flash Dark Tremor's (make sure it's the correct one - RC2 or RC2+Zilla).

Reboot, do your set up.

If you want to check your partitioning set-up, either dl the Terminal Emulator app or A2SDGUI from the Market. If you choose TE, type in su, then hit enter. Type in a2sd check, hit enter and read thru the script. If you choose A2SDGUI, it's pretty self explanatory. I choose to move dalvik to internal memory but that's your call.

Hope I've helped. I struggled with a2sd myself but the Mynions helped me a bunch so I thought I'd give it a try.
[EVO 4G Android Development] bpc4209:
Do I have to partition my card for this ROM because mine is not.Could that be it? I thought when it installs it automatically creates a partition.
[EVO 4G Android Development] trollallot:
No need to partition. Are you using clock work or amon ra?

Nm what Bacjk few pages and saw.
[EVO 4G Android Development] tuscolavol:
No you do not HAVE to partition but if you want to run a2sd, then yes you do. If you don't partition, the pre-installed a2sd just will not run. But I couldn't have stayed with these 2 roms without partitioning and running a2sd. Just too laggy. With it, runs great.
[EVO 4G Android Development] tempguest:
Prior to using MikG, I used Myn's Warm 2.2, and I removed (not just froze) the following two apps from /system/app/ without any problems at all:

HtcIQAgent.apk

IQRD.apk

However, according to MikG's changelog, there are also Kernel components of Carrier IQ that he removed. I'd like to see the same done with this ROM if it's not too much trouble.
[EVO 4G Android Development] dougjamal:
No, you do not have to but I recommend that you do and do so from within amonRA v2.3 in this manner:

Note: This procedure wl erase the contents of your SD card so copy its contents to your computer or external drive BEFORE you begin.

1. Boot into your recovery and then select 'Partition sdcard'. You will be prompted to enter a size for SWAP, ext2 & FAT.

2. Enter 0 for SWAP, 2048 for ext2 and the rest for FAT.

3. When the process is complete, select 'upgrade ext2 to ext3.

4. Afterwards, go to the wipe menu & wipe everything in the list.

5. Flash Synergy.

6. Be patient during initial bootup. You will appear to hang at both the bootloader screen AND the Synergy splash screen.

Just got done setting up RC +Godmode

Everything is looking good. No errors.

I need to edit the build.prop file in the system folder. I want to change the screen density to 180 instead of 240. Now I usually do this using Root Explorer but it will not mount as R/W in the system folder. If I use LCD Density changer I can still change the density but it is not a permanent thing and I have to redo it every time I reboot.

I have used adb in the past but am not well verse in all of the commands. I can only assume that there is a way I can make this change using ADB and not have to edit the file before I flash.
