You should also use Titanium Backup so you don't lose your apps/data. My girl likes to play games on her phone, but if I flash a new rom, she wants her games and other apps exactly the way they were before. Just a suggestion. Dread's new recovery is awesome with the wipe feature, but if you aren't comfortable with flashing it, just make sure you wipe everything a few times in CWM.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] drob311:
For games and other non-system apps, titanium works fairly good, but as far as that I wouldn't recommend using titanium backup, as it's been known to mess $hit up...

i dont understand why everyone says that, i never have problems with titanium, i think its more on the user end and not the app. some people im surprised even know how to use the power buttons on their phones.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] drob311:
I've ran into weird glitches when restoring with titanium. For data/apps it should be fine, but for system apps I can't say I recommend it... The power button? Is that the one on the side of the phone? :D

Not sure what it was. I was downloading it to my computer which is over ethernet and was getting 30 d/l at the time. Oh well, the download finished but I didn't have enough time to flash it. I should be able to over the weekend. Thanks.

I tried using the A2SD and found it less responsive and glitchy(kept reseting the background on my PowerAmp widget) even with a Class 10 card. If the phone gives the low memory warning, you can use app2SD that's already included.

Settings-Applications-Manage Applications-Select the app you want to move- Hit Move to SD Card

I did this with all my large, not used constantly or non-widget apps(widgets don't work when the app they're for is moved in this way to the SD card). Everything's smoother and faster with no issues with the apps moved and I still have a good amount of internal memory left. I used DroidSail's Super App2SD which I got free off Amazon one day and it worked great and a lot less tedious than one by one through Settings but there might be a free option someone else can recommend.

How long does it take to boot the first time? I waited over 15 minutes to be safe and its still on the HTC screen.

Even re-flashed it and the same thing.

Edit: Was able to manually wipe system/data/cache and it's fine now.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] VICODAN:
Always wipe cachce, dalvik when flashing a new rom, first boot is always 10 minutes.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] strapped365:
No always do what you did and manually format everything. Don't listen to the guy above me or nothing will boot.

Format system

Format cache

Format data

Format sd ext if its there

And wipe dalvik cache
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] VICODAN:
You don't need to wipe data to flash similar rom to similar rom.

P.S. If you read his post he's already taken care of.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] strapped365:
But reguardless if its fixed I see your giving out wrong info, you don't need to wipe system to flash the same ROM.

So based on your instructions we can all change from Mik to SS to NewSense with no system wipe? I mean since their all Sense 2.1 ROMS
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] strapped365:
See your golden instructions? And what actually got him fixed the manual wipes of it all lol
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] Bfitz26:
nice work dude!! first time actually flashing this sucker seems pretty smooth and quick testing battery life today u.c.'d question though i know this is a sense 2.1 rom but i am curious what would it take to get a sense 3.0 lock screen intergrated into this sucker or possibly let me know what i can do to accomplish this as this is my only down fall.. yes i know about alternative loick screen apps miui locker etc.. thanks dread7us
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] drob311:
Lol... Dread7us, One_love_420 and myself put mad fu@king hours into this rom, and we (all 3 of us) work as a team on the newROMS... And no, this won't have a 3.0 lockscreen, what's the point? MikG already has it, and releasing a replica rom wasn't OUR goal...

I'm just saying you don't need to wipe completely for every flash, sir.

I've upgraded CM nightlies without wiping /data and /sd-ext.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] strapped365:
Well we know what got him fixed lol maybe the other guy too
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] prboy1969:
Ummm..... yeah :rolleyes: . Disrespect is coming onto someone eles thread that has busted they're butt, along with others to put out a Rom. Then talking out of wrong end. Before you do that again, think a little. Also before you judge a persons attitude. Bust your ass working on a Rom or Mod for days, and nights on end. Test the it till your actually crazy. Then have people tell you that this or that is wrong. Only to find out it's user error. Then you still get no apology. Bottom line think before you speak on a persons attitude.

Really, again with this :eek: . Look it has been proven time and again. That if you do not Clear ( Wipe ) Data correctly and thoroughly before Flashing you are more likely to encounter issues. Yes you can have a good flash and no issues with some half wipe. But chances are higher that you will have gremlins and issues.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] VICODAN:
Of course you can, I'm just saying I only wipe /data as a last resort and flashing from AOSP -> Sense or Sense -> AOSP.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] prboy1969:

I have a question about the 1x/3g symbol. I tried to edit the SystemUI.apk file to just keep it on 3g instead of displaying 1x. I know it still gets 1x speeds when it says 3g, but I was bored and wanted to change it. I decompiled the apk and edited the HtcCdmastatusbar.smali file a few folders in. I edited line 356 stuff from 1x to 3g_cdma. Then recompiled the apk and used the correct META_INF and xml files. However, I get FC on the status bar now. I didn't think this would matter, but does it make anything to do with the newSENSE control panel app? I tried the one my phone was currently using, a fresh one, and put the altered fresh back into the zip and did a clean install and still had the same issue. Did I miss something along the way? Or is it possible to edit with this rom? Thanks.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] one_love_420:
If the edit was done right, then just take the newly compiled classes.dex and place into the original systemui.apk that should work, if you made the edits right.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] lvpre:
Here is a link to the flashable zip I made.

https://www.box.com/s/7522c4c5b0185d0d9384

If anyone has a clue on what I missed, I would greatly appreciate. I'm pretty sure I just needed to edit the htccdmastatusbar.smali file. Maybe I put the edit in the wrong place. I seem to have better speeds on a stock rom without the switch than with the switch...I just wanted to see if (at all) difference it would make.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] one_love_420:
That mod would have no difference in speed and if you are noticing a difference that is placebo. All that mod does is that it shows the correct images(.pngs) when on 1x instead of the 3g icons. I don't know when I can look at your file as I am really busy, but hopefully someone else might be able to take a look for you.

Also on a side note, I no longer am using the shift I got the evo lte, I have a few little things I plan on releasing for an update to newSENSE then I will be done on the shift. I can always answer questions but most likely won't be doing much more work for the shift.

Wifi Error

Hi everyone.

Sorry for coming into this thread so late. I've been busy with school and I didn't have a chance to test this ROM until now.

First of all, great ROM. I can tell that you put a lot of time into it and it definitely shows. It's very stable and I love all of the mods and settings that you implemented into the build.

I have an issue, but it doesn't look like anyone else has it either. The only thing wrong that is going on is that I cannot enable wifi. It says "Error" when trying to turn it on. I wiped all data and caches before installing, and reinstalling the ROM didn't fix the issue. Did anyone experience the same issue? Does anyone have a suggestion that might fix the error?
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] -somebody-:
not that ive had that problem but which version are you on (RC1 or RC2) and did you manually do the wipes
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] BeanoFTW:
I'm using RC2. No, I didn't manually do it. I probably should have. I used the ClockWorkMod to clear the caches and wipe the data. Sorry if this comes out as noobish, but to verify, I should be wiping:

/sdcard/Android/data

/sdcard/.data

/data

/cache

Are these correct? Is there any directory I missed or did I list one that I should not be wiping?

Thanks in advance for all of your help. I'm a software dev, but I admit that I'm not completely 100% familiar with all of the directories and locations of all of the andoid data and cache. I haven't yet read any Android SDK or ADK documentation.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] -somebody-:
to be safe i like to wipe /system , /data , /cache , and dalvik cache a good 2 or 3 times then flash. a page or two back they had arguments over this if you want to review their opinions.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] strapped365:
Are you s-on rooted? It just sounds like the modules aren't matching up with the boot.img.

I see this a lot on the doubleshot threads s-on rooted users not aware they have to fastboot flash the boot.img. Now its been a while since I've seen any rooting tuts on the shift and I'm not sure if you can s-on root it but its just sounds like the modules and boot.img are not matching up so that's why it sounds like an s-on rooted phone
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] Dread 7us:
Edit: Nevermind, looks like strapped365 answered that a post above
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] VICODAN:
2 questions:

1) Call waiting doesn't seem to beep/alert as normal

2) Zipalign doesn't seem to work. It sits there spinning forever.

Any ideas?
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] VICODAN:
Never mind about the call waiting.. still wondering about zipalign though.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] TarantinoAKASerge:
I was wondering the same thing about the zipalign option. Also changing the font size using spare parts doesn't stick after a reboot. Overall this is a VERY well put together release and the only Sense-based ROM that has been able to hold my attention. On another note, is there an updated version of the ICSense theme for RC2 yet?
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] -somebody-:
no i decided not to update the theme for RC-2, atleast for right now. they have another update coming soon before they quit shift development so we'll see if i update the theme then as well.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] Dread 7us:
Yeah we do have an update coming soon and I will be looking onto the zipalign issue as well.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] tommytomatoe:
I think our if test for the apk needs to be updated. We changed the name of the apk! Same thing happened in mine lol.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] BeanoFTW:
It is an S-ON root and it sounds like I need the S-OFF bootloader for it to work properly. I will flash the correct boot and try again. Thank you very much.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] BeanoFTW:
Update: Yep, you confirmed it! I'm a total moron! I flashed the boot.img from the ROM first, cleared all cache, and the WiFi now works. I appreciate your time. I completely forgot that my root was an S-ON root.

Again, thanks.

Hello

I used Recovery to wipe data/system, wipe cache partition, and the dalvik cache was wiped. then i installed .zip from sdcard. found the file since i partitioned my sd and it was the only file on there so i hit yes to install. came up as installing NEW SENSE and the bar loaded and said complete. so i did a system reboot. Now its at the whiteHTC screen. and has been on that screen for about 10 minutes.

Should i reboot? reinstall? what should i do?

Anyone have any ideas to help me?

Thanks in advance.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] Dread 7us:
First off, what recovery are you using?

Sent from my EVO
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] dipp02:
sorry ClockWork
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] prboy1969:
As Dread said, what Recovery are you using. Also, how many times did you wipe each of these? What do you mean by " found the file since i partitioned my sd and it was the only file on there " ? Did you unintentionally wipe your SD Card? Or do you mean you Partitioned your SD Card for an SD Ext, then tried to flash the Rom ?
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] dipp02:
Info

The recovery i am using is ClockworkMod Recovery v5.0.2.0

In Clockwork i did an sd partition/format to 1gb. I then mounted it as USB storage. Added that file "newSENSE_RC2.zip" to the sdcard. the only file that i have on there (i backed my sdcard up before i did anything.) There was no option for ext2 ext3 or ext4 i did it by these directions: http://therootofallevo.com/2011/04/10-step-guide-properly-set-darktremors-a2sd/

and it says this for Clockwork:

"Clockwork -creates ext3 partitions by default, with no option to upgrade, & limited size choices."

I partitioned my SD for 1024MB and the swap was 0M. I didn't see any option to upgrade the (no ext2 or ext3 or ext4)

So, then i wiped everything once. I didn't do anything twice (prob. wouldn't of hurt :cool:). I followed these directions here: http://therootofallevo.com/2011/04/10-step-guide-flash-rom-rooted-evo/

Sorry that i didnt give a lot of info on my first post.

Question: Do i have to load back these files:"hboot_check.nb0, hboot_eng.nb0, hboot_orig.bin and misc.img" back onto my sdcard?

BTW it is still at the HTC white page for about an hour so i guess i didnt do something right.

VICODAN recommended me to get newSense because yesterday my buddy told me to flash cyanogenmod he said they are the best one. I flashed the one that was just uploaded 7.2 I think but i didn't have anything like the voicemail the android app and VICODAN told me newSense is a lot more stabled. I also need to update my Radio because i am dropping calls and not getting barley any bars in my house.

I did an SD Partition/format but i backed up the files i had on it when it worked :o
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] prboy1969:
So you tried to Flash the Rom after Partitioning the SD Card, without re-installing what was on the SD Card? Did you try replacing your SD Card backed up items, then re-flashing the Rom? Or are you up and running?
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] dipp02:
No I am still down. and no I haven't tried that.... Should i put everything back on the sdcard. and then wipe everything twice? then install the ROM from ClockworkMod?? The file newSENSE_RC2.zip??

And i can install a new radio? Do you know what the latest radio is for the HTC EVO shift? I am on the east coast
