Install Frustration

I have an Evo which was "caught" by the OTA update. I've rooted today on the Revolutionary root, with success.

I followed directions explicitly several times, but always get caught at the white htc screen. Other ROMS will install (cyanogen, backup), but I cannot get Synergy to install. No offense to cyanogen, but I'd like to have the Synergy ROM.

Any suggestions on this weird problem?
[EVO 4G Android Development] tuscolavol:
That PRI has been accused of not being good. I know I had issues with it. Stayed at 1.77 until 2.15 came out. Everything else is the same as mine with no issues. (My sig)

Curious... why don't you give rls1 a try?
[EVO 4G Android Development] ageesm:
I always have, just never been real vocal about it :p. Synergy users would feel right at home. I've tried so many roms, but the only ones I come back to regularly are Synergy, MikG, CM, and MIUI; covers the most variety...

Also, anything that you choose to put some of your own time into has to be at least a little bit worthwhile right? ;)
[EVO 4G Android Development] nolig2278:
How can I adjust a2sd or turn it off all together?

Running GM.

Can I just repartition my sd card or will that break everything?

A2sdgui says it is not setup by Titanium BU says I am using abotu 200mb.

Thanks
[EVO 4G Android Development] Kaarukun:
I have the same issue with my EVO. Though less issues with CM. MIUI always has issues on my EVO with random restarts/freezes. After several versions and attempts, I gave up on it.

Synergy has been great for me :) Though Godmode has had issues with stuttering/hanging when switching through apps or having simultaneous read/writes from different sources.
[EVO 4G Android Development] webdude12:
Im having this same problem... :-(
[EVO 4G Android Development] whiterider13:
I am not sure what would cause that problem. I am running RLS1 non gmode with lithid's v0.8 kernel and I just checked. I am getting 15.5 mb/s write and 14.9 mb/s read on the stock sd card.
[EVO 4G Android Development] slthree:
So, I will upgrade my PRI to 2.15. Could this have been what was draining my battery.

My radio is different from yours. Mine is Baseband: 2.15.00.11.19

Should I have yours?

I downloaded RLS1 but have been scared to run it. I always let the smarter folks work out the kinks before I jump in.

Also, I wanted to try to solve my battery issues first.
[EVO 4G Android Development] NxNW:
Hmm. I'm getting 6.0 (also on the stock SD card, also RLS1 non godmode) and the person you're responding to is getting somewhere between 5 and 8. How are you managing 15.5? Is the lithid kernel responsible for this?
[EVO 4G Android Development] sandshrimp:
Sense UI Slow

I'm using GodMode and I was running into slowness issues even though GodMode is supposed to be faster. I switched from Sense UI to LauncherPro and my phone is quick again. Seems that the Sense UI app is a big drain.
[EVO 4G Android Development] vanessaem:
Aww...come on. We keep going over this. G-mode is not working for everyone. Please switch to regular RLS1. :(
[EVO 4G Android Development] sandshrimp:
But then I would have expected the phone to continue being slow. But since setting LauncherPro as the default home screen, everything is quick again. So it seems its Sense UI. Or maybe GodMode makes Sense UI slow. Anyways, LauncherPro still kicks arse when compared to Sense UI
[EVO 4G Android Development] Bizdady:
LOL dont let them get to you!! :D :cool:
[EVO 4G Android Development] ageesm:
LP/ADW has and always will be faster than Sense...it is nothing new. It is why AOSP roms have some popularity, it is down to personal preference. I've always used LP for this reason (and easier, more flexible customization). Currently I am using straight Sense for the longest time I ever have...but I still know if I switched to LP right now it would be a bit faster.
[EVO 4G Android Development] vanessaem:
We're all entitled to our opinion. I don't notice any huge speed differences between LP and SenseUI but every phone is different.

If g-mode is making your phone seem slow, why are you forcing yourself to use it? You can have LP on your phone but you're still on the g-mode version of the rom...lol.

Getting to me? Never. :p

I see the exact same issues on every page. :eek:

G-mode is slow.

Synergy is killing my battery.

Ok those are the two biggest ones. :D
[EVO 4G Android Development] TheSocalGuy79:
lol I do agree it seems to be the same issues on the pages, G-mode don't work for you or don't like it flash RLS-1 I did and I'm happy. Synergy is killing my battery then charge it more often, lol most phones that are out now drain battery big time.
[EVO 4G Android Development] whiterider13:
I am not sure what the difference is. It could be the kernel. I have never run a sd speed test on the stock kernel. I just ran 5 more tests an got 7.5, 7.5, 36.1, 13.6, & 12.6 for my write speeds.
[EVO 4G Android Development] vanessaem:
It's not that I don't want to help it's just that no one wants to try and find the solution. Even though, the solution is given on almost every single page. ;) People just want to post.

You've got to think that you're not the only one with the issue. Others have had it and people have either helped them or have tried.
[EVO 4G Android Development] taicor:
Is there a mirror that doesn't suck complete and total ass? Neither mirrors on the OP finish for me, or if they do they are corrupt. (Stop using crap file hosts, a bounceweb or other shared hosting plan is cheap).
[EVO 4G Android Development] TheSocalGuy79:
Donate so they can use a better file host. ;)
[EVO 4G Android Development] slowpc:
I read two reports of white screen on flash of this on the new gingerbread root... GF's evo is not home yet (shes at work) so anyone safely flash this yet on GB root method that was released ?

The rom's free. Don't forget.

Why has my battery dropped 10% in the past 15 min? My battery life sucks! I only ran 5 sd speed tests back to back and posted with tapatalk. :-P J/K. Lol.
[EVO 4G Android Development] sandshrimp:
I did find the solution. Its called LauncherPro. As stated, Sense UI is always slower, and I wanted to share my experience with people experiencing slowness on GodMode and my solution

But your responses to my post really shows who the people are that post for posting sake;-0

Can't get market updates with Synergy

I tried looking through the 1000+ posts and searching but didn't come up with anything. I got Synergy running no problem and totally love it but for some reason I can't get anything from the market to download. I've tried to apply updates for existing apps and also get new apps and it gets ready to download but never starts downloading. Any help with this would be great.
[EVO 4G Android Development] life:
i used titanium backup to uninstall those apps and i have no problems with battery so far.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mutant13:
Works for me...along with my other 21 HTC 2.1 themes LOL....yep ADA OCD, all that $h!+

your roms are super amazing...soooo thanks again
[EVO 4G Android Development] Goth_:
Is there anyway to just flash the battery icon? I like that one more then the one with 2.2 rl5. :D
[EVO 4G Android Development] kippswanson:
This ROM totally kicks ass. With the carousel mod it's basically the same as Kingdom (Sense 3.0), with minor other differences. Totally awesome.

I don't know if this has been really answered here or not... I searched but didn't find it. I was able to install the HTC Photogrid widget... the other thing I thought really set true Sense 3.0 ROMs apart from others. If anybody's interested, here it is.
[EVO 4G Android Development] huludical:
Actually it didnt work. I downloaded and flashed but it still isnt in the theme chooser... Ok i flashed three times still not in them chooser.

Maybe because I already did some mods like transparent notification bar?
[EVO 4G Android Development] MikeWjF:
I just flashed this rom, I just about had everything set up and all of a sudden i'm getting a wifi error. Wifi won't do anything. Any suggestions?

Edit: My bad, I just remembered kernel manager will sometimes kill WIFI.
[EVO 4G Android Development] SNYPE2K9:
i'm having some issues with flash performance. i'm loving the rom otherwise. anyone got any ideas for me?
[EVO 4G Android Development] JGW310:
thanks buddy!!! i appreciate it!!!!

would you PM me with how to correctly make it transparent for future reference? :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] KING SKILLZ:
thanks, figured it out on way home.
[EVO 4G Android Development] HipKat:
Well, here goes nothing. Flashing Synergy RC1 now....

This DOES have DT A2SD in it, right?
[EVO 4G Android Development] tommytomatoe:
Shortly before that post I posted a how to. I believe Myn also linked it in the second or third post under "How To's"

Edit. Look here
[EVO 4G Android Development] HipKat:
1st Props... baddest-ass boot.ani ever!
[EVO 4G Android Development] ageesm:
No, you will have to flash the add on if you want access to DT's scripts. It will have apps on your ext on first boot and dalvik on sd though. It just doesn't use DT's scripts so it is all automated and you can't control anything from TE...
[EVO 4G Android Development] HipKat:
The only A2SD I ever used was DT, so do the same commands works? ie. a2sd check, a2sd swap, etc....
[EVO 4G Android Development] ageesm:
No, that's the scripts I'm talking about. There is no support for them out of the box. Synergy uses a modifed version of a CM script to handle putting apps on the ext and symlinking them to /data (not really sure where it came from as CM generally frowns on using exts). They had issues with DT's being included in the rom, but it worked fined if flashed afterwards. Virus' solution was using a different method...

If you flash the DT's zip from Synergy updater it removes the cm script version and puts in your regular DT's as well as moving dalvik to internal storage by default. Then you can access your a2sd commands. It just has to be flashed after you've booted once :).
[EVO 4G Android Development] JGW310:
got my Google+ invite. Wow is all i have to say. Google really did a nice job this time around!!!
[EVO 4G Android Development] huludical:
If i want to go back to stock theme can i reflash the rom and just clear cache/dalvik and not data?
[EVO 4G Android Development] HipKat:
OK, didn't know it was included in the updater, so I was just going to flash it in recovery (I have it on my SD Card, anyhow), which would probably work, anyhow, yah?
[EVO 4G Android Development] roscoenr:
For anyone enterested there is a replacement to savwe you space on the weather lockscreen here it is for the Desire HD but works great for the evo i have it runnig on mine now
[EVO 4G Android Development] myn:
Thanks. Part of the Rosie 3.0 we are working on now includes that apk.

Yeah. I really really like the circles thing and the transparency of security and extracting the data out is pretty slick.

The Android integration is nice too :)

Those Google guys don't get bonuses this year unless they succeed in social :) I hope this flies. Mindshare is still Facebook though. Gonna have to be 200% better to even make a dent. They got the $$$$$ and brains to do it though.
[EVO 4G Android Development] whiterider13:
Try going to settings, manage apps, and clear data for the market. It has helped me before.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Bizdady:
Battery life depends alot on the user as well, I actually tested my battery this weekend. I got 9 hours with heavy usage, 3.5 hours of display time. The whole time was on 3G as well.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Bizdady:
+1 on this, usually this does the trick. Has worked for me before.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ageesm:
LP is faster than Sense, that has nothing to do with GodMode, Synergy, or any other Sense based rom...it is about how those apps are built and how they run. There is no 'solution' to find, it is just personal preference.

I wouldn't take shots at people who actually contribute around here...:rolleyes:
[EVO 4G Android Development] vanessaem:
Um yeah.

<-----My helpful posts were for posting for posting sake.

Other than saying LP kicks SenseUI arse, have you had any other helpful posts?
[EVO 4G Android Development] vanessaem:
Yup but everything is still Synergy's fault. ;)
[EVO 4G Android Development] Bizdady:
Thank you for your insight... Could you please point us towards your Contributions so we may do the same.
[EVO 4G Android Development] vanessaem:
This happens sometimes but it's not rom related. You can try quitting the market then starting the market again and see if that helps. You can also try updating your profile and PRL.

i am liking 1.8.5 so far, nothing against synergy. Its the little things that are kind neat

- native screen capture - menu + vol up

- hold home button on lock screen = flashlight

- holding toggles opens up settings

- custom themes without having to reboot

- mash up themes and lock screens however you choose, again no reboots

- Tiamat w/SBC - No 4G yet:mad:

- custom lockscreens - there is even a Sense 3.0 inspired one

Personally i didn't like earlier versions of MIUI, but as a change of pace ROM, there is way worse out there aka stock sense 1.0 haha

I am coming from RC2.

Do I have to factory reset?
[EVO 4G Android Development] dougjamal:
There is nothing odd about your setup, however, I do suggest you update to the latest radios as well as RLS-1. Doing so may do;) wonders for you...
[EVO 4G Android Development] xlGmanlx:
factory reset only takes the ROM back to stock, you should do a factory reset in AMON and probably use Calk's format all script and then flash. I always over wipe, kirkland style!
[EVO 4G Android Development] dougjamal:
Not really, but a full wipe is 'always' your best bet, in my opinion.....;)
[EVO 4G Android Development] ageesm:
I love MIUI, but I never seem to stick with it long. Not sure why. I think just poor timing, every time I use it there happens to be a big release of another rom I want to try, big surprise there :p. It does so many small things right that other roms miss. It's all about the details. What I love most though is it has, without a doubt, the best theme engine/solution on Android.

I do find it kind of slow, but not so much it is a huge detriment...certainly takes some getting used to.

If nothing happens in another 5 minutes, I would pull the battery, boot back into recovery (amonRA v2.3) and wipe EVERYTHING in the wipe menu except the SD card and then I would transfer a freshly downloaded copy of RLS-1 non G mode and flash it....;)

Preseason my friend, takes some perspective. It is about coaches evaluating talent and preparing their teams, not the fans. We are about exactly where I'd expect us...We only have one team in our division I'm even remotely concerned about anyway, the other two clearly regressed.

New staff, scheme, etc etc and a whopping 12 practices so far, against a team 2 years removed from the SB :rolleyes:. Our starting lineup wasn't even close to what it's going to look like Week 1...Anyone gloating over preseason victories is a little misguided, we were the only team to go 4-0 in the preseason last year, worked out well for us didn't it :p.

P.S. I realize it was just good-natured ribbing ;).

I'm never one of the first to flash either. I don't think the radio makes too much difference. I went ahead and updated to all the newest because lots of folks (including developers) were suggesting it. If I were you just change the PRI and give the rom a go. Be sure to have a fresh nand of your current setup. And please use Amon 2'3 and wipe everything in the wopen menu (except sd card) a couple of times. Let it settle got a couple of days and maybe try one of the custom kernels if you're not happy with the battery.

[EVO 4G Android Development] AaronM7:
In the past, people have had issues with using TB to restore data, causing all kinds of problems, especially if you are using GodMode. you can go ahead and try, but with the understanding that you may have to re-flash and do it all again if there are issues. I used to be Lost without TB, but then I realized that it didn't take much to get everything I needed to have my phone up and running. I know that there are a few people who use apps that have all kinds of data stored in them, but when I looked at mine, the only data I really ever stored were levels in games that I don't even play anymore.

[EVO 4G Android Development] dougjamal:
I used to use TB for backing up purposes but have since gotten away from it. I love how my apps get restored automatically after flashing a new rom so I welcome that method with open arms, but not everyone likes it. To directly answer your question, I still recommend that you use some sort of backup, whether TB or MyBackup Pro or whatever. I'm a big fan of creating a nandroid backup of my data & sdext partition so that I can skip the sign-in process after flashing a 'very similar' rom or re-flashing the current rom and then restore the backup of my data & sdext. This keeps me from having to input my data, setup my homescreens and re-install my apps because the restoration does it for me.
