I think the new kernel is a little more stable, in my own experience atleast. I used to never use the HTC kernels but as we lose more devs to new phones not as many options out there. I tried the anthrax kernel and it did ok but got a bootloop on that too. But since I put the new htc kernel/radios phone has been on for a few days now and no problems yet. Can't say if the new radios increased speed because the 3g where im at is HORRIBLE.

Battery life on anthrax is good and stable performance. Very comparable to freedom kernel.

Bootloop observation...

Not sure if it helps, but running 1.9.0.8 (waiting on the stable) I've been keeping close tabs on performance and noticed now that for some time bootloops only seem to occur when I'm using Pulse or the Facebook app. As Pulse is integrated with Facebook, at least for me, I'm wondering if it's something there and might be of value to someone who knows more about this than I. I've not had an "unattended" bootloop at all and besides running a partitioned SD card, I'm running stock SOS On.

I've seen Sense reboots routinely, going back to when the phone was stock and figure it's just the way of life with this phone and Sense roms. I'll add V6 Supercharger as part of my update to 1.9.0.9.

Thanks
[EVO 4G Android Development] Ike167:
Okay so when it says update to 1.9.0.8.5 does that mean just flash it? If so do i just flash without wiping anything?

Ha Ha I have been on this rom since almost the beginning - I never knew it did that. Yeah I feel stupid.

---------- Post added at 02:43 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:08 AM ----------

I have noticed that my free memory suddenly dropped from around 100 mb to 45-50 mb for no reason, no new apps added, nothing that I can think of. I have no apps that can move. I cleared all my cache and data that I can. Still nothing so really clueless as to why all the sudden the memory is gone...

So to make more room (no I havent particioned the sd card - may tackle that now that I just got laid off and will have the time to now) I wanted to remove the Sprint stuff I added back on - such as Sprint TV - I realized I have never used it. I cant figure out how to remove it other than a full wipe. Is there a way to remove things you add on?

thanks.

I noticed the recent talk about kernals here and I wanted to mention an issue I had to see if it was, in fact, a kernal issue or if it was something else. I had been using agg/freedom with sos for a week or so, when suddenly, my phone would not go past the splash on reboot. So, I restored the nandroid I had made with sos &, agg/free. The problem I encountered was after the restore, I would go into boot loop as soon as any download from the market completed. Does that sound like a faulty nandroid or kernal issue or what? I have never had that problem restoring nandroid before, and it has happened twice while using this rom and agg/free after a nandroid backup/restore. Just saw these comments and thought it may be the kernal I was using.

Flashed, and DAMN this is FAST. Came from Miui and i LOVE it.

I have a few questions that might be dumb though. I know it says swagged out STOCK, so i was wondering if this was a Sense rom and not AOSP. If it is sense can i update PRL and Profile right from menu? and also should i use a sense Kernel or AOSP kernel?

I appreciate the help!! :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] Notorious:
yes you can update prl and profile in the settings. You HAVE to use a gingerbread sense kernel. Trying to flash a aosp kernel will either make the phone stick on splash screen or bootloop

[EVO 4G Android Development] linsalata28:
When the battery charges to a 100% if you leave it on the charger it will start to discharge down to 90% and then back up , it will do this over and over as long as you leave it charge but will still read 100% ,so when you took it off it may have really only been at 90% thats why you will get that fast drop. If you really want to get a 100% you will need to unplug it and use it a little till it drops then charge it again and take it off as soon as the green light goes on and then see how fast it drops. Also you need to calibrate your battery when ever you flash a new ROM or kernel.

Bootloop issues

I am having bootloop issues too and I don't know what to do :confused: One night I went to bed phone was fine woke up the next morning to find my phone stuck in bootloop luckily I didn't have to go to work that morning :rolleyes: But It just does it whenever mostly when I am not even messing with the phone and the only way to fix it is to pull the battery. Anybody know what could be causing this??? I'm running stock SOS On also.
[EVO 4G Android Development] yznhmr:
Having charging problems.. OR somethign is draining faster than it can recharge..

For the 3rd time in the last week, i put the device on a charge and walked away.. came back, and it was almost 50% less then an hour ago.. I had on different charger and left it charging all night, and woke up to a 1% batt, and a message telling me that the phone was using more power then the charger was supplying.., and was going to power down soon..

Running v1.9.0.9 PR ICE CREAM SWAG - 4.54, with the latest OTS kernel..( was running the ROM stock kernel last time this happened.)

Any one else seeing this?

Wondering how to figure out whats causing the massive drain, while on charge...

---------- Post added at 02:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:07 PM ----------

Just rebooted, ( to see if I could kill what ever was killing my batt)

Was at 25% when i started reboot, it came back 16%.. it is charging, per the orange LED, and the onscreen batt shows the lighting bolt, and its moving..

Had a similar issue, I just flashed back to the previous rom until the bugs are all worked out. ICS, to me, is overrated. Once it becomes stable and FAST, then I'll switch back. But until then, I'll stick to gingerbread.

Hey swag,

I was thinkikng of trying out the stock one.

Quick question i have for you (or anybody else willing to reply). I flash ROM, then flash the quick settings add-on on top.

Now, I wanted to create a inverted pulldown notif in UOT.....which files would I have to upload, and from which files?
[EVO 4G Android Development] linsalata28:
I'm not sure about the quick settings cause I still haven't flashed this.

For UOT you need to upload the SystemUI.apk from system/app and the com.htc.resources.apk and framework-res.apk from system/framework.

I hope that helps but your not going to be able to make a complete inverted drop down cause if you make the items list background black then you will have black on black text since uot wont change those text colors.
[EVO 4G Android Development] evo_like:
Hey Lins what up man...

yeah so let me clarify a little bit: i knew of the three files to upload. In this case though, first I would have to flash the stock ROM, then another .zip flash to add the quick settings. Now the ROM obviously has the three files I could get from, but since I am flashing the quick settings on file, should i be taking the SystemUI.apk from system/app from the .zip of the quick settings file (it's only got two folders in that .zip-- a META-INF and system)..is it making sense?

as for the black on black text....i thought UOT had that option to change that too? no? then how do some people make inverted from UOT?
[EVO 4G Android Development] linsalata28:
What exactly is in the quick settings update zip? If there are no apk's in there then it isn't replacing any apk's on your ROM, in that case you can just pull them from the ROM that you downloaded.

As for UOT IDK who people are doing it, there is an option to change the text color but I've never had the one for the items list work for me. The only ones that work are in the status bar , header , and quick settings tabs. You can give it a shot but I'm pretty sure you will have black on black text.

If you know how to edit xml's and how to decompile and recompile apk's there are a few guides on here to invert the drop down.
[EVO 4G Android Development] polar2792:
ICSwag is full rom or partial?

as in flashing it.

or has swag not updated that far yet?

thanks.
[EVO 4G Android Development] evo_like:
the quick settings update zip only has two folders in it....META-INF, and SYSTEM. Inside this system folder, there is app/SYSTEMUI.apk. so there is a apk in the update zip file.

This means, i should get the SYSTEMUI.apl from the update file, but the rest (the other two files) from the ROM then?

i have absolutely no idea on how to edit xmls.
[EVO 4G Android Development] linsalata28:
Yes if there is a SystemUI.apk in the zip then just use that and pull the other 2 from the ROM, also that way when you flash the UOT theme you don't even need to flash the quick settings zip cause the SystemUI.apk will be in the theme from UOT.

Another thing you should know about uot is the 3g , 1g and signal icons from there don't work for some reason so if you are looking at icons those wont change but all the others will.

[EVO 4G Android Development] swagstr:
For those concerned about the latest update, I have updated post one in preparation for the new update:

Essentially:

Basically there is one file that is causing the full wipe. If you don't do it now, you can do it at a later update. But after you do a full wipe after Swag = ON v1.9.0.9 (final released on 2.10) or Swag = OFF v2.0.1 you will (hopefully) never have to wipe again. Besides cache and dalvik cache.

Again, Team Swag hates wiping too. So we sowwy :rolleyes:

But really... This should be the last wipe :D
[EVO 4G Android Development] shizkoff777:


I can't wait I'm going to give this a go

Sent from my Swagged Out Evo :D
[EVO 4G Android Development] swagstr:
Of course! If you don't have a computer at all, download the ROM using WiFi via the SOS Blog (in my sig). Then, backup all your important app data, texts, call log, alarms, user dictionary, and anything else you find important with MyBackup Root. Then, reboot into recovery and choose the Wipe All Userdata/Factory Reset (or whatever) option. This is really all you need to wipe because all of the cache's are in the /data partition that is formatted during this wipe. The other areas are wiped during flashes. Next, install the new SOS, reboot. Go to the Market (after setting up your Google Account), download MyBackup Root, restore your data, reboot your phone, enjoy your life :D

Hello, all. I am currently using SOS v 2.0.1 and I am having issues with my internal storage. I keep getting pop UPS saying that I am low on storage. I don't see how when I moved as many apps that I could to the external. I have about 14 downloaded apps saved on my internal and can't get my storage above 43MB.

I've never seen this before with any other roms. Just wondering what could be filling up my phone.

(On a side note, if apps are saved to the external, could the data for those apps still save some where in the internal?)

The reason for the concern is because running apps is becoming impossible because if they require any syncing (Google Listen or Google Music) the apps get stuck in limbo or force closes. That's when I start to see the low storage pop ups. Other then cashes I don't Niebuhr else to clear.

Any suggestions?
[EVO 4G Android Development] swagstr:
One question and a request.

What wipes dod you do before you flashed this ROM?

Could you post screenshots of all the apps installed? Go to Settings > Applications > Manage applications. You can take screenshots by holding the power button and tapping the home button.

Did I miss something, or is it the new normal that the center button on the rosie pulls up the app drawer instead of the dialer? I used SOS Tweak to set the left rosie button as dialer, but don't see anywhere to remap the center button.

Swagstr,

I wiped completely, then installed 1.9.0.9. Reinstalled the A2SD program. It runs, but the info section doesn't show any total for space used/empty. Titanium no longer shows Ext partition.

From terminal, ran "A2SD check" The result shows:

Your partition may be using an EXT4 partition, but your rom may not support.....Repartition......"

At first, I was hesitant to place the app drawer in the middle. But which do you click on more throughout your day?

[EVO 4G Android Development] swagstr:
Wow! You have a sh-t-load of apps! Lol. Why do you have so many launchers? lol

Anyway, you should look into Apps2SD. I know DarkTremors Apps2SD is cooked into the ROM. I don't use and don't know how, but XDA is a good resource to learn.

Good segway into your question lol

I don't use Apps2SD and I frankly don't know how to. I have not touched the Apps2SD included in the ROM since v1.9.0.0 (and possibly updated it with v2.0.1).

I can answer a million questions about your EVO. But, David, I'm sorry, but this isn't one of 'em :(
