This is an uneducated guess, but I think your problem has something to do with the Dalvik Cache...just a thought.

In any case, I am sure that you have done this already but if not:

1. Don't download directly to your phone, you risk the chance of a bad download.

2. Upgrade to the latest Amon-Ra (Smelkus has a 4.1 version out)

3. When wiping, wipe everything except your SD. Cache, Dalvik Cache, Boot, Data, System ( I even wipe battery stats and Android Secure).

4. Try Installing again with a clean version downloaded to your computer first

5. Let the Rom boot up first before you try flashing any mods or kernels.

This works EVERY time for me.

Here's to your thin red line. Hmm... I'm stepping over.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ReppinTheSouth:
I didn't even know about the Smelkus/Amon RA recovery. Good looking out with that.

I'm about to flash 1.5. I'm excited. In 1.0, I would get a lot "_________ application is not responding" whenever I unlocked my phone. I am going to try using TB to just reinstall user apps and no data.......with the exception of Temple Run. I put in some work to get where I'm at on that game.

Here's a question about something I've always been wondering. I hear a lot about A2SD not just in this thread or ROM but with a lot of others as well. In TB, you can move apps between your SD card and internal memory. You can use S2E off of the play store to move apps, data, and dalvik to the SD card. With that being said, what is the big deal about making sure a ROM has A2SD? I guess I don't get it being that there seems to be other ways to move your apps to the sd card.

Just wanted to relay my experience with the new update.

Using Smelkmus recovery, did superwipe, followed by factory reset.

Flashed rom and mason .15 sbc.

Up and booted in less than 5 minutes. It didn't load the setup app, which is IMO preferable. Loving Apex baked in (though I've found that one of the wiping methods mentioned above removes my Apex backups, no big deal, I'm guessing they were stored on SD-ext, so I'll need to move those backups somewhere else next time I wipe).

Not sure why, but aside from Play store, I'm missing other gapps (gmail, maps, voice).

The one thing that is amazing is how freaking FAST this thing is. Man, great job!!
[EVO 4G Android Development] RoosRCB:
Im not sure what else is going on here...perhaps someone else has an idea.

Is your card partitioned to EXT4?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Traceamount:
Where did the option to change your power control widgets and/or their order, go in 1.5? I searched for an hour on here/google and feel like its probably right in front of me, but maybe it was from something else. Or do you just gotta swipe it left/right now?

I tried three downloads two from the PC. I used smelkus recovery and ra2.3. I wiped with scripts and manually multiple times. I even reformatted my SD card and repartitioned with ext4 and ext3. Tried even just the rom with no custom kernel...no dice
[EVO 4G Android Development] thetony:
Yep, I've tried ext 2, 3, and 4. My most recent trials go like this, Partition, swap 0, ext 1024, ext 2 to 3, ext 3 to 4, super wipe, wipe dalvik/cache, flash CM9, reboot. I've tried flashing the kernel as well but not in a while. I could try that I suppose.
[EVO 4G Android Development] roxicodine:
Man this 1.5 update is not doing too well for me. Any app I open it automatically closes. I open browser no pages will load, Open SMS and its not a FC close it just closes and I cannot open it back up. Nothing will stay open. I followed every step down to the punctuation. Running the mason .15, Hopefully someone can help me with this dilemma before i revert to 1.0 or try a new rom.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mikeyscislo:
I'm running the v1.0 nonA2SD version, and this is amazing. I came from AOKP, which was great except really unstable. This rom is incredibly stable, the only time I have an issue is with Instagram, I know it sounds like a minute complaint, but it always force closes if I am uploaded a picture. It's my main photo service so I quite like using it.

If the devs would like a logcat, just let me know on here or email me.
[EVO 4G Android Development] madunix:
back up your sdcard, reformat it completely, re partition it and upgrade your ext to ext4, download 1.5 rom onto your computer and transfer it over with a usb cable, flash the .zip and nothing else. let it boot up. worked for me. you have to make sure everything on the sdcard is fresh with nothing on it. literally.

[EVO 4G Android Development] RoadBicyclist:
In Google Play, get Wifi Analyzer.

It works perfectly on my building, I pick the router channel that's best for my circumstances, meaning I'm the only one using that channel; I'm sure it will do the same for tethering.
[EVO 4G Android Development] cityneversleepz:
just for what it is worth, verify the md5 sum. I've seen them not match before, so it is worth the minute that it takes. I've been using swap 32 with ext 3. just never tried to upgrade past there even though i've heard good things. I do the super wipe last, that is just me.

side note, video in browser is working with skyfire for me but not with the native browser. I froze the native browser and skyfire is working almost flawlessly. only video I can't get to work is from major league baseball app. other than that, I have everything else going pretty smooth.

Just want to say, fallow the instructions and you will be fine.

I just took my wife EVO (un-partition sd) and following the instructions on the OP I have now my wife evo looking like a charm.

This is exactly what I did:

AmonRa 2.3

1 Back-up SD in my PC

2 reboot into recovery mode

3 wipe all user data/factory reset, wipe cache and wipe dalvik cache

4 partition sd, ext2-ext3, ext3-ext4 (swap=0, partition 1024) following this

5 enable USB toggle and copy the ROM to the sd

6 disable USB toggle

7 Flash the ROM

8 voalahh less than 2 minutes I was installing apps

9 10-20 mins wipe cache, dalvik cache and flash the manson kernel 15rc3 (not necessary)

10 happy wife, playing with her new toy

is the aokp style battery mod in the second post the standard battery with white text inside of it?

i tried checking the pics but i couldnt tell which battery symbol it was
[EVO 4G Android Development] ReppinTheSouth:
Wow. When I say this ROM is working flawlessly, I mean not one problem. There were a few things I did this time that helped.

Thanks to ropodope's post about A2SD, I learned if you're using that version, make sure you go to preferences in titanium backup and set it to install backups to internal memory. I moved apps to and from the SD card in the last version and got random force closes. Type dark tremor in the play store and there is a great app to manage A2SD. It's probably one of the better apps I've used.

I don't know if this has been posted but use MX Player from the play store to watch videos. In settings you have to set it to use software acceleration or something like that. The majority of the videos will play. Now that I think about it........I'm not a dev but if MX Player could be baked in the ROM as the native video player with the correct settings, I would think all vids in all apps would play. Just my 2 cents. That would be HUGE
[EVO 4G Android Development] spackmanbr:
I think it's time for me to start experimenting with Firerat and partitioning. My understanding is that the Evo has a 160mb cache partition, and I remember reading that ICS will run better with a larger cache partition. Although, 1.0 runs great for me standard.

What would be an ideal cache partition size for this ROM? Also, is it necessary to leave more space in the system partition than what the ROM requires?

Thanks guys. And again, awesome work Mazda! Can't wait to try 1.5.
[EVO 4G Android Development] bluezr1:
I'm using 178 60.

Here's a photo of the usage. It hasn't changed after installing over 100 apps.

In the photo the last set of numbers on the bottom shows cache partition. And the next set up shows the rom partition.
[EVO 4G Android Development] thunda_chunky:
I'm still amazed by the battery life that comes with this ROM. I had zero issues with 1.0 and the only software issue I've come across with 1.5 was a FC when trying to select a bg from the homescreen with the Gallery app. Quick reboot and that's cleared up.

I guess if I have to nitpick, I'd say I'd like to see the stock messaging theme as opposed to the inverted theme. The inversion just doesn't fit, to me, aesthetically seeing as how contacts, dialer, and the like are still stock ICS. Again, it's not a major issue, just a personal preference.

Is there anyway to switch back? Other than going into the system and changing it myself?
[EVO 4G Android Development] bbwarmth:
Can I please have the boot animation?
[EVO 4G Android Development] wojosama:
I might just be missing it but I can't seem to find an official MD5 checksum.

So I generated an MD5 checksum based on my download for people having problems that are appearing to be a bad download, to check against.

I can't guarantee that its correct so for other people that aren't having problems, if you could verify its correct that would be fantastic, or if mazda gets a chance and can verify it that would also work.

MD5 checksum for v1.5(A2SD) = 276ABEC863C68CEE47AF1365E0FDE4F7

For everyone with bootloops, fc's, whatever, if you've done everything else correctly, and are still having problems, check the MD5 (this should be done with anything you flash as soon as you download it really), even if you downloaded 3 times, it could still be the problem. If its not, then you probably missed something else.
[EVO 4G Android Development] madunix:
if you're having issues getting the rom to install or load, from my personal experience, most issues come from the sdcard. it's best to back your entire card up and to reformat it completely. once you've done that, partition your sdcard in your recovery up to ext4. download and flash v1.5 with nothing else and let it load up for at least 10 min (took me about 2 min total) but let the phone settle in.. its alot of work, but totally worth the effort. i promise. if you succeed, you can transfer your backed up sdcard back to your actual sdcard afterwards.
[EVO 4G Android Development] SuperiorEVOlution18:
Now I'm not 100% about this but I believe this is due to the fact that the old (plain ics themed) apk didnt support the sms splitting and this one does, Before you had to go with a third party app or pull this version from another build. While i agree that the inconsistant theme thing is buggy i do like the inverted (matches the wall paper) and its easier then having to worry about the message size.
[EVO 4G Android Development] PhxkinMassacre:
What does everyone mean by SMS splitting? Because I jut sent a message to my google voice that was about 400 characters and it came in multiple messages just fine . So I don't think that's it seeing as in how I'm still on 1.0 and haven't updated yet. But I always see people talk about this yet I never had the problem....
[EVO 4G Android Development] MizzouBrent:
Trying not to spam the thread but I did all of this and it still was causing bootloops. I just verified my MD5 and it matches and I completely wiped and repartitioned my SD card.
[EVO 4G Android Development] madunix:
so after playing with v1.5, ive come to ask about these few features..

how do i take screen shots with this rom?

idk if this was intentional, but when you pull down the notification screen, the blue circle that sits under your service provider "sprint" is not centered..

music shake to next track?

hold down home button on lockscreen for torch

album art is cut off in music player and picture quality is poor (album art)

does anyone know if miui music app works with this? i guess i should try it out on my own but im not to experienced in doing these sort of tests..

i know for most of these i can find apps on the market, just hoping we can somehow get this caked in for a future release? told you maz i have alot of requests waiting for u.. lol btw, i am a veteran myself, 1371 combat engineer and did 3 tours, to be honest, idk how i'm still here, but hey, since i am.. ANDROID ALL THE WAY! :)

---------- Post added at 11:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:41 PM ----------

whats your hardware, radio and hboot versions? also,what kind of sdcard do you have? class? size?

Thanks man. I now see that the dalvik cache for non-system apps are in the data partition, and the dalvik for system apps are in the cache partition. So the cache partition really shouldn't grow past the 50 something that it is now. Am I crazy for thinking that the location of the dalvik varies by ROM?

Cache is also used as a temp directory for app updates from the play store, correct? So it's a good idea to leave a little bit of extra space?

Is that on v1 or v1.5? I could not get the non-A2SD version of v1 to work with Firerat at all. Worked fine with the A2SD version, but what's the point of A2SD with Firerat??

Looking forward to v1.5 non-A2SD for the reason above :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] Mazda:
Alright guys I know I said I was going to make a NON-A2SD version and it was made, that's NOT the problem that I'm facing. The issue I'm having and the reason for this post is because of quality! Is causing too many issues with tablet mode and a few more things SO that brings me to this..........FROM now on, there will only be 1 version (A2SD version). Team D.I.R.T along with me does not feel like we should release something that we're going to have to pull 15 minutes later.

I know there's going to be a lot of "I'm going back to this ROM or YOU SUCK...blah blah blah" but is becoming too much of a PITA to make two versions so if you would like to use this ROM or continue using this ROM in the future then please follow the following steps :

1. I recommend you use this recovery http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1661543

2. Move everything that you value (pictures, music, movies) to your desktop

3. Partition your sdcard to 1024 (1GB) swap size 0

4. Move ext2 to ext3

5. Move ext3 to ext4

6. Flash the ROM zip

If you decided to flash another kernel i.e Mason 0.15 I series then wait to it boots up then reboot into recovery as this has been known to cause issues if you flash right after the zip.

Once again, I apologize ahead of time if this causes any inconvenience and THANK you all again for sticking around and providing such great support!
[EVO 4G Android Development] Psyki:
Damn. I just repartitioned to remove A2SD. I understand I can turn A2SD off after flashing (I was the one who asked the question originally), but what is the smallest A2SD partition I can get away with that will let the ROM boot up?
