That's the thing dude, I think you're doing it backwards a bit.....follow these steps (hopefully this is the last time I do this BUT I doubt it...hahaha)

1. Back up everything on your sdcard to your desktop (pictures, music and anything you value)

2. Use this recovery as it works best for this ROM http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1661543

3. Wipe everything on your sdcard (EVERYTHING including sdcard to avoid problems)

4. Partition your sdcard to 1024 and swap size 0

5. Move Ext2 to Ext3

6. Move Ext3 to Ext4

7. Move ROM zip to sdcard and flash it

If you follow those steps to the word then you won't have ANY issues....ALSO only use the mods provided in the second post of this thread and you will continue on having a good time, if you use that reloaded CM9 mod you WILL run into issues and at that time I will discontinue support and you will have to troubleshoot your issues with that dev not me

Thank you

Connecting your phone to your computer via USB works just fine......haven't had any issues at all. You're not using that reloaded CM9 mod are you? If so, that might be your issue as I've heard it breaks a few things in exchange for AOKP like toggles and a center clock..hahaha...IMO I don't think that's an even trade :)

Hey Mazda, did you ever get my pm?
[EVO 4G Android Development] madunix:
I feel so bad for the guys having hardcore issues with this rom.. I highly doubt its the rom due to its high success rate.. I guess some evo's just weren't created with equal right :X
[EVO 4G Android Development] Mazda:
Yes SIR! I check my PMs almost daily but believe it or not, I've got about 50 other things going on right now and I haven't got around to that just YET :)

Look for it in the CM9 v2.0 dude!

I was also having the issue of google search fc on tablet mode. I removed google search with Titanium Backup, then installed the apk I found in the first link when I googled Google Search 1.3.3.247963. So far, working great!

[EVO 4G Android Development] james444770:
First of all, I really appreciate all this help you are giving me. And second, I followed all those steps exactly step by step and still having the same problem. I am beginning to think maybe this rom just hates me lol.
[EVO 4G Android Development] madunix:
Anyone try v6 supercharger with this rom? If so.. is it noticeable ?
[EVO 4G Android Development] JM-PDA:
Hey james444770,

Just another thought.

I know you have been trying the various software related ideas that other suggested in this thread.

Can you flash back to anther ROM (a back up nandroid, or CM7) to just to establish the fact that your USB connector charges successfully. I want to eliminate the hardware issue first.

This is my second Evo. The first one's USB died out on my about 12 months after I got my Evo.

Let us know your results.

JM-PDA...
[EVO 4G Android Development] DogSpots:
EXT3 on Class 10 SD Card works better than EXT4

EXT3 seems to have fixed the problem. I partitioned the Lexar Class 10 last night and CM9 Port has been working great ever since then.

I'm getting ~9 MB/s writes and ~29MB/s reads.

I really sympathize with people having trouble. I followed the instructions in the OP exactly and got two different results with the only differences being the manufacturer and class of the SD card. I imagine there are all kinds of other intricacies that can have a great affect on the success of flashing this ROM.

I can't imagine that I'd have figured out my trouble as quickly as I did if I didn't have a second SD card with which the ROM worked well.

What makes things worse is that the final solution goes against the instructions in the OP.

My best advice to those having trouble is to use your best debugging skills. Change one thing at a time. If that one thing doesn't help, change it back and try something else. You'll eventually find the one thing that fixes your problem. From what I gather on this thread the first few things to try are a different SD card, the undervolt fix and (like me) using an EXT3 partition rather than an EXT4. Try them one at a time and go back if one of them doesn't work.

If all else fails, don't be afraid to ask questions.

Good luck.
[EVO 4G Android Development] dragonsofcp:
I tried it but my EVO didn't like it very much. I haven't had much luck with it in ics. It did not make things smoother and had all sorts of weird glitches. Besides this rom doesn't need it anyway. It's super awesome already! :-D
[EVO 4G Android Development] james444770:
hey thanks for replying. So I flashed back to another ICS rom and the usb worked perfectly. I also tried a brand new sd card and also another usb cable as well and they all seemed to work well. Its only when I flash to this rom that my led light turns on for 2 secs and goes back out.
[EVO 4G Android Development] kendallc123:
I have 2 usb ports on my computer, and one of them only charges, and one of them charges and transfers files. I have no clue why! But that could be your problem.

[EVO 4G Android Development] ReppinTheSouth:
For the person who asked about V6 supercharger, I put it on my phone with this ROM. That thread is a mess IMO but I was able to figure out how to do it on ICS. It's not half as bad as I thought it would be. The reason I put it on here is because my RAM would get low and phone would get bogged down after using it for awhile which probably has nothing to do with this ROM. Anyway, supercharging my phone has really helped with that.

Still loving the ROM the way.

Maz got a question could you make a 6 Signal Bar Mod? Looks like this

Anyone else got any other suggestion for me? Out of all the ICS roms i tried, this has been by far the best and the fastest so thats why I am really trying to get this to work on my evo. If anyone else has any other advice for me, I would appreciate it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ropodope:

Has anyone else noticed that when you are on a call, and pull the phone away from your face, the screen doesn't always light up? I end up pressing random number keys, apparently, and annoying people on conference calls, which I am normally ok with, but it does make it tough to un-mute myself. Anyone have any ideas on what i could do to fix this?

Stock Messenger

Great ROM.. Really Really REEEEEEAAALLLY enjoying it. I just noticed one thing... When sending MMS Pictures/Screenshots using the stock messenger the pictures look horrible... but I downloaded Go SMS and sent the same picture and it came out great... Is there away to change it to 5M on the MMS part of the messenger? I like the stock one way better than GO SMS.....

Thanks again!!
[EVO 4G Android Development] siris420:
I don't think it is the crappy bitrate of the music, I think it is an issue woth the libs on my phone. Dsp manager does nothing to the sound stream. I can play a song in pandora, luanch dsp manager, pull 6 db from every frequency and flip the equalizer on and off with no noticable affect to the sound.

Also a few posts up somone else seems to be having trouble with init.d scripts running atboot. Anyone else noticed issues?

V1.5 working great flashing from scratch. Only weird thing is the clock in the top bar gets stuck or frozen, while the clock in the lock screen is correct... Never seen this before... If u change from small to default in settings its okay for a while, then gets stuck a while later?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Chirpout:
This happens to me also.

Mazda thank you for the awesome ROM. I've been modding for a while now hence the name, but I still have a few questions.

Some pages back Rope pointed out that a 2gb a2sd partition wasn't needed. I wanted to know if I'd need to re flash the ROM after I fix the SD card. And aside from the call screen issue I quoted my only other one is force closes of games like words with friends after I send a word or it freezes when I try to "swap" letters. I've already re installed from the market with the same results.

Thanks in advance

Mod your services.jar instantly with the ICS OOM Priority Charger WebApp!

Just go to http://android.mimic.ca with your devices browser and follow instructions!

For those having problems getting tweaks, scripts, or memory management settings to stick, try the above link. I got the link from the v6 supercharge thread as it is stated in the thread it's needed for the script to stick on ICS roms. However this should help anybody having issues like I mentioned above. You can download a flashable zip. As always, nandroid before flashing. Credit goes to zeppelinrox for this.

Based off of some language in that thread in regards to ICS, it lead me to believe the service.jar patch was for ICS in general. Nandroid, try it, and see.

I'd pass on this one.

With A2SD what happens if you also move apps to SD through manage apps. Any advantages/disadvantages? Does it break anything?

Sent from my heart
[EVO 4G Android Development] wojosama:
I wouldn't do it. There wouldn't be any advantages.

A2SD creates your data folder on your EXT partition on your sdcard, then creates a symbolic link between it and the internal data folder on you phone. All your apps (non-system apps that is) are on your EXT partition but your phone thinks they're are still chillin nice and cozy where they always were.

So since they are already on you sdcard I would advise against using the systems move to sd function as even if it doesn't break anything (I don't know what it would do honestly), it won't make anything better.

Weird... So I flashed this once so I could use OS Monitor to read the system and cache memory sizes to set up Firerat.

Wiped, installed Firerat, reflashed and when it booted up it had a bunch of weird settings already configured. The power widget had a ton of widgets randomly enabled, and the screen brightness was set to very dim. Touch sounds and screen lock sounds were disabled. Text size was set to small.

Basically a lot of settings seemed to be totally randomly set. WTF?

Firerat worked great btw, got 794 MB free internal. Who needs A2SD? ;)

Read through this guide carefully. It's not hard to set up but you need to understand the full ramifications. It modifies your recovery and you'll have to remove it and/or reconfigure it for each ROM you flash. It's totally easy to do once you get the hang of it.

FIRST IMPRESSIONS

The Good

This rom SCREAMS compared to AOKP. Running Mason kernel RC3 with Wheatley governer, 499 min 1113 max. Ridiculously fast.

With Firerat I had 794MB free internal on first boot. After restoring about 45 apps with Titanium Backup I still have 681 free internal and 762 free A2SD (out of 1gb). Wow.

Camera seems to work ok so far.

The Mixed

Flashed this ROM twice, the first time just to get some system info for Firerat, then flashed again and had some really bizarre settings configured by default as I mentioned above. No idea what was up with that.

Transition animations were disabled by default. Why? That seems very un-stock. Also, where are the CRT on/off animations?

Apex Launcher has some weird pseudo-redraw issues every time I go back to it. It doesn't seem like a full redraw like when it reloads, but my homescreen icons and single clock widget load individually every time I hit home or back from an app to go home. Anyone else have this problem? It's not that annoying yet but I can see it getting old, fast.

Battery was absolutely phenomenal on AOKP, like 24 hours easy with average usage. After a few hours on CM9 it seems to be going down a little faster but that could just be because I'm playing with it a lot. Time will tell.

Screenshots of free storage after restoring 47 apps and data:
[EVO 4G Android Development] ladle3000:
100% agree with the slight apex redraw. Is it because of apps2sd?
