[Thunderbolt Android Development] DaRkL3AD3R:
I hear it on CM7 as well sadly :( I first heard it on Das BAMF Gingerstripped then when I flashed to CM7 I noticed it was there as well. Did a full wipe and data factory reset so I know it cannot be that. Quite annoying but you only really hear it if you're in a near silent environment. Any background noise like a fan or television completely masks the pop.

My personal concern is that there may be physical damage occurring from this. It doesn't sound good at all. And based on my experience of sound card and driver handling in the past, this pop seems very familiar. It only pops when the sound engine is initializing or sending sound out the speaker. So somewhere along the lines theres a problem with the driver most likely. I think its kernel related personally.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] bL33d:
Yea thats why i went back to froyo it sounded very odd and unhealthy to me aswell. Although i never noticed it in cm7 just got tired of the screen going black during calls and not waking afterwards :P
[Thunderbolt Android Development] erishasnobattery:
Pretty sure it's an issue in the audio drivers. The entire libs folder on this needs reworked. After i get "the other Rom" figured out, we can apply the same to this.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] munesh23:
well i recently received a refubed evo 4g with 2.3. my question is, can the techs at sprint downgrade my evo back to 2.2 or to a lower hboot ?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
They may downgrade you to 2.2 if you complain about gingerbread..but if you ask about downgrading the hboot, I think it'll tip them off you're trying to root it / had it rooted before.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] munesh23:
ok cool, funny thing is the techs at my sprint store have all there phone rooted LOL
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crakerjaks:
call asurion and tell them the screen and battery is overheating and that you want a brand new evo and not a refurb, they will send it to you no charge.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bkrodgers:
They may or may not do that, but the new one could have GB on it too. So no point.

Right now they can't do it, unless Sprint/HTC give them a tool to do so. If they were to do so, it'd probably leak here pretty quick. My understanding is that they have the same RUU we do, which was specifically coded not to allow downgrading. That's no accident, by the way...they plugged the old root holes and didn't want to let people downgrade and root.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] munesh23:
didnt HTC say that they unlocked the bootloaders, why did they lock it up on hboot 2.16.0001 ?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thariz:
ok first off no they cant backrev your phone, they can only replace it

also they no longer care if you are rooted
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
I believe they have 30 days from the release, and I thought I saw the official release was like 26 June [or mid June] so they 'technically' still have time.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] munesh23:
if thats so, then hopefully soon i can root my 2.3, i seriously hate my evo right now it so boring without root.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
The only good that will really come of that is the source, so they can start making custom kernels for GB, like synergy, kingdom, ect; but yes, bring on the root. :eek:
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fergie716:
I know this might not be what your looking for but there's a thread in the EVO Development section for a mod for un-rooted EVO's. Might give you something to tinker around with while you wait for root
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bkrodgers:
No, that's how long they are supposed to have to release the kernel source code to comply with GPL.

As far as unlocking bootloaders, HTC said they were changing their policy, but haven't made commitments to how soon it will happen or how whether it'll apply to current devices.

I'm also not totally convinced that the carriers won't try and succeed in vetoing this new policy. Granted, they've allowed the Nexus, but they haven't promoted that device either. Hopefully they will get the message though and not stand in the way.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] runcool:
if a sprint store can downgrade a phone. why can't we do it as easily? I want to know exactly how they do it so we can spread the word. :-D

Sprint tech here, we can not revert phones back to 2.2 our RUU does not allow this. Lol I tried on a buyback yesterday, no dice. You shouldn't have taken the update, sorry.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] munesh23:
well i had to replace my phone and it came with 2.3, i would never take an OTA.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lokifish Marz:
Seconded. The only way to rollback 2.3 is to remove the chips and force flash them via a programmer. I have done this ONCE just to see if it could be done. To be honest, no customer would ever pay the cost of having it done and even if they would I can't tie up the service center that long for one customer.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johncro13:
I just got an EVO from Craigslist (clean esn) and I actually told the sales rep who cleared the phone that I intended to re-root. She was cool with it. Even said she didn't care. After she cleared it to stock she kept pressing buttons. I asked her what she was doing and she said she was updating it because it wouldn't let me add my Google account unless it was the latest firmware. Said she had seen people who had problems. Before I could stop her it was too late. I thought about bringing it back and complaining but that's not going to get me anywhere.

But me, I'm lazy and paid the 99 cents ;-)

Stop making these threads. These belong in the Off Topic forum.
[EVO 4G General] Dredz:
With the GingerSense ROM’s being the new hotness right now, there is a overwhelming amount of questions about partitioning. This guide is intended to help anyone that may want to partition their SD and not sure where to start. This information was gathered from The Mynions and posted several times in Myn’s Warm2p2 and Project Synergy threads. This guide was created while using Project Synergy RC1, which runs a CM script that has been modified. Come get assimilated!

Please, READ first before attempting if you are a noob, it’ll save you some gray(grey) hair. I am in no way responsible for any issues you have for following this guide, use at your own risk.

WARNING: This will erase EVERYTHING on your SD card so please transfer the contents of your SD card to a computer or external hard drive PRIOR TO starting this procedure.

1. Boot into recovery (hopefully you have amonRA v2.3)

2. Select "Partition SD Card". You will be prompted to set an amount for the SWAP, ext2 and FAT.

3. Enter zero for the SWAP size, 1024 or 2048 for ext2 and the rest for FAT*

4. After the process finishes, select "Upgrade ext2 to ext3"

5. When the process is complete, go to the wipe menu and wipe EVERYTHING in it.

6. From the main menu, select USB-MS (your phone should be connected to your PC) and copy the Synergy ROM(or your ROM of choice) to the root of your SD Card.**

7. Flash Synergy(or your ROM of choice)

8. Be patient at initial bootup because it can be quite long.

9. I recommend that your 3rd party apps be installed freshly from the market initially. They will automatically be place in the ext3 partition. You can verify it by checking to see that they are listed in the /system/sd/ folder which itself contains 3 folders: app, app-private & dalvik-cache.

After you have followed the directions to partition your card, followed by a flash of the rom and installation of your 3rd party apps & games, go to Menu-Settings-SD & phone storage and check your available internal storage space. If it is 300+, it is safe to assume that the built-in a2sd is working. Furthermore you will need a system level file manager to see the /system/sd/ folder. The Astro File Manager cannot see it.

*These sizes are only used for reference, but excellent choices. You may want to consider a swap partition, even though the stock HTC kernel does not support it. Future kernel development may take advantage of swap and doing so now can save the hassle of re-partitioning later. Food for thought.

**This guide was done while using THE Project Synergy ROM, however it should work across the board.

Hope this helps.

Special thanks to dougjamal, lowetax and all the Mynions helping out around the world (We Global!):cool:
[EVO 4G General] Dredz:
F.A.Q.

Q: Do I have to partition my card?

A: No. The main reason people partition is to take advantage of Apps2SD script. This allows for more internal memory and, depending on which version, control over various system settings (Ex.: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=7021317&postcount=1).

Q: Do I need to format my SD Card after partition?

A: Actually, no. Will it hurt if you do? No. Creating partitions wipes the SD Card, sets up logical drives(partitions) and formats the space(or you couldn’t write to it). The time consuming part of partitioning is the Card formatting.

Q: Can I run the stock/android A2SD after partitioning?

A: No. The Apps2SD script is different from stock. Using the stock A2SD will give you problems.

Q: Can I do a nand restore after I partition?

A: No. Your SD card's file system has changed and you may experience unfavorable results.

[EVO 4G General] Chris 2155:
Do you need to do this every time you flash a rom?
[EVO 4G General] xsisbest:
No.. it's just like windows partitions.. Once they are setup you don't have to redo them. Just wipe the data and reinstall...
[EVO 4G General] Dredz:
Thanks, I appreciate it.:D
[EVO 4G General] HipKat:
Since the stock Kernel doesn't support Swap, after first boot, go to terminal, type Su then enter, then type a2sd check.

It will probably say swap not running at boot. It should say that the partition is present and a bunch of other things.

Next type a2sd swappy10 then enter.

Now type a2sd reswap.

If you get an error, you can run a2sd reinstall which will reboot your phone.

Go back to terminal and type Su and then a2sd reswap.

Should be good to go, but you have to run the reswap after every boot til we get custom kernels.

[EVO 4G General] Dredz:
As answered, no. Remember however, when you do a wipe now, include SDEXT if you don't already.
[EVO 4G General] androidsupra:
Also might want to add in there to backup your SD to your computer so you won't lose any important files, music, or backups.

And after using cm or darktremmors a2sd do not use the Android a2sd or you will have problems.
[EVO 4G General] Dredz:
Thanks for the added info HipKat! When we get custom kernels for GingerSense, I'm going to update the OP with swap instructions. I will use your info provided with it.:D

The warning was already there, i just put it in bold to stick out:p. I will add the stock A2SD info to the faq.

Thanks.
[EVO 4G General] derrickj:
If I am already running Synergy but have not done this, can I just follow the steps and reboot phone or do I need to reflash the ROM to take advantage of the benefit? And if I need to reflash, can I just wipe cache and dalvik or is a total wipe required.

Thanks for the instructions.
[EVO 4G General] yznhmr:
Damn.. i wish i would have known this last night.. I would have added this part..lol:rolleyes:
[EVO 4G General] Dredz:
You will have to reflash the rom, this WILL erase your entire SD Card. Total wipe required for best results.:D
[EVO 4G General] Chris 2155:
one last question... after doing this.. when installing apps from market or whatever... you don't have to run an apps2sd app??? They just automatically install to the sd card???
[EVO 4G General] Dredz:
Well I'm running a 2GB part on the OG 8GB card w/no swap. I always wipe everything when I flash a ROM. When we get custom kernels, i will flash the ROM with at the same time. Then I will get SWAP.
[EVO 4G General] Dredz:
Yes, as long as the ROM you are flashing supports it.
[EVO 4G General] yznhmr:
Huh??:confused:
[EVO 4G General] Chris 2155:
so what if it doesn't? Do you use the apps2sd app?
[EVO 4G General] Dredz:
My bag. I will flash the ROM and The kernel at the same time. Since this requires a full wipe(by my standards anyway) I will re-partition then and designate a swap size.
[EVO 4G General] Dredz:
That quite honestly, is not a direct question with one answer. It's 99.98% impossible to bork partitioning if the process completed. Depending on the rom and the version of Apps2SD you are using, there are different ways to tell if the script worked. Also, check TB for info. It's included in a lot of ROM's
[EVO 4G General] NxNW:
Maybe I missed the replies, but it seems neither of these guys ever got an answer.

Any thoughts anyone?

I'm getting the same thing. I haven't flashed the dark tremor script yet (obviously).
[EVO 4G General] Dredz:
To be honest, I have no experience with CM's script (built into Synergy), just been running DT's. I don't really want to tackle the scripts at this time, I'm too anal and if I can't be 100% committed to helping with a subject, I avoid it.

The funny thing is, most of the issues reported here are not related to the OP. I make no recommendation on what script to flash because: 1. I'm obligated to help you if I do(reference to Synergy included), 2. Folks use different variations of the script which makes it even harder to trouble shoot.

I do know that there is an app in the market (a2sdgui?) that is very popular with DT's script.

Sorry I couldn't be of more help, I just started a business and that is why I'm staying away from the scripts. Heck, I can't even participate in the Syn thread like I want to:(.

:cool:
[EVO 4G General] NxNW:
Oh that's totally all right. Just wanted to follow up.

HipKat chimed right in on page 1 about running a2sd commands and it sounded like awesome advice, so I think someone should just point out you may not be able to follow those steps very easily unless you have flashed DarkTremor's script over the top of the one that comes with Synergy.

Good luck with your new business!

[EVO 4G General] tang12:
When u do this with synergy, u get cm A2SD, which auto moves your apps to SD. You can flash DTa2sd

(Which moves your apps to SD and and much more). When using this, don't use any apps that move your apps to SD, because they will conflict and bad things will happen. I have no idea what ur talking about when u say A2SD vs APP2SD ......

[EVO 4G General] jminor4326:
sorry you can't read my mind. I'm trying to understand the methods of putting apps onto the SD card giving more room on internal memory. There is the app APPS2SD that allows apps to be moved to the SD card. Then there is the method Dredz shows using RA that puts apps into SDEXT automatically using a script (I think). Then I think there is the Dark Tremors apps2sd method.... correct? The partition Dredz shows us cannot use the APPS2SD - correct? And some ROMs can use the RA partition and others can't ... correct? Then there is the Dark Tremors method... what is that?? Can someone please explain the difference between them all. Thanks, I'd really appreciate an explanation.

The OP says the reboot can be quite long...how long is quite long? it's been about 30 minutes. I did everything to a T except I didn't flash synergy because I already had it installed. The instructions in the dark tremor thread linked too in the second post were identical to these but left out the flash rom so I thought it was ok. I've been on the white htc evo screen forever...how long does it typically state.
[EVO 4G General] Dredz:
If you partitioned your card with the ROM installed, you erased it. You need to flash a ROM

:cool:
[EVO 4G General] Dredz:
Yes, but it will require you to partition the card again.

:cool:
[EVO 4G General] Dredz:
What you may be seeking is the difference between A2SD & Apps2SD. A2SD is the Stock way to move apps to your SD card, like with all the warnings you hear about widgets not working. Apps2SD is a script which tricks the phone into seeing a partition as the internal memory, so when you install apps they go on the SD but are treated as they are in internal memory. It's all DOS & UNiX trickery!

:cool:
[EVO 4G General] DRatJr:
This helped me so much. So is this safe to do if you switch ROMs like once a month? And will it stay if I switch ROMs? Also, can I still wiple cache and dalvik (and data and whatnot) in AmonRA before I want to flash another ROM? Also, what if I want to undo all of this partitioning, how can I do it? And does this work with synergy + godmode?

Thanks!
[EVO 4G General] sah0724:
What about almost stock roms like sprint lovers? Do they also need these partition as well?
[EVO 4G General] DRatJr:
Any answers?
[EVO 4G General] Dredz:
Yes it is safe to use while switching ROM's. You can do everything as usual except you may want to wipe SDEXT when doing a full wipe. To undo, repartition with all the values being zero and everything FAT. This is Syn+ capable.

:cool:

They don't NEED the partition, the partition is there to allow APPS2SD so you may retain space on internal memory. A stock ROM probably has enough space, YMMV. I haven't used a stock ROM in over a year, so I can give you much more help. I would check in the specific ROM thread with users there.

:cool:
[EVO 4G General] DRatJr:
Ok so after I partition and put the rom on my phone do I just flash and boot it? Or do I need to copy my whole sd card over before it will work? Or should I flash it then copy all sd contents after I flash and then just reboot? And if I copy all the contents back over it will work fine right?
[EVO 4G General] DRatJr:
Anyone?
