Think I know what sideloading is. But if not.

Flashed Rom, then gaps, and the older of the a2sd files.

Couldn't get a2sd to reinstall my apps. (Figured they'd be stored on the partition) wouldn't do it, had to restore through tb. But I can't seem to install apps from other places (dropbox etc). Also for some reason the market app on initial boot wouldn't auto update.

Maybe I goofed somewhere but have never really had an issue like this. Tried fixing perms and wiping caches but no luck.

Other than that Rom is kick ass fast. How the hell y'all got it so small is crazy 76 or so mb. Dang:cool:

Would the beta 4 a2sd fix the issue y'all think?
[EVO 4G Original Development] Ken C:
Never mind got the a2sd part figured out. Just got to see about the apps from different sources installing
[EVO 4G Original Development] oodork123:
Sigh. Still nothing wrong with this rom. One thing I don't like is the fact that its faster than Reloaded. Other than that I did had a slight problem with the playstore not recognizing my paid apps. Clear data and reboot the phone seemed to work out.

Side loading

Still having side loading issues but only with apps that I pulled from reloaded 44. Which I have been able to do in the past with other roms.

So let me start by stating all the steps I took.

I flashed RC3 with only doing a superwipe and flashing RC3 and gapps (smelkus recovery of course) . It boots up fine I let it settle, check off allow non market apps and proceed to see if side loading works using ES file explorer and Root explorer. Everything works until I get to the MIUI cam app and the Pandora app from 44. Just says "Application not installed". So I go into recovery and fix permissions then go back and see if it works but still same message. I then push the app to data/app match the permissions with the other apps and still same message. I then go back into recovery fix permissions again try again and still no go.

So then at this point I go back into recovery partition my SD card. Swap size 0, 1024 ext2, rest for FAT then upgrade ext2 to ext3. Reload rom and gapps via recovery and flash rom then gapps. Let rom settle and repeat everything I did as I stated above and still same results. I have logs of the most recent attempts ( I forgot to save the ones before partitioning ... :/) Also received a message about not being able to open log and permission denied when I tried to save the log via terminal so I used the logcat app.

Pictures of message in terminal attached along with the message I get when I try to install an app

Edit: I did try downloading a different apk that was similar to the Pandora app from 44 directly to the device and that one would not install either. This was done before partitioning.

Please read these forums. Your issue has been discussed at length already and your answer is to be found in this forum. In short wifi tethering works fine, and usb tethering works well with any number of third party apps such as pdanet, clockworkmod tether and easy tether lite just to name a few. You are having a problem because you aren't doing it right.

Installing/Sideloading

I have a couple apps that I NEED to sideload. One is called Xparent Red Pandora, which I bought from the Store, but it has now been removed, so I have to sideload it. Also have an app that isn't available in the Store, but is a port from another OS to Android that the dev made for me (longtime user of the app on other OS's), called TealTracker, which I also have to sideload. TealTracker has some custom icons that I put in there, which are the CORRECT icons for the app, which the dev forgot to include. So TealTracker is modded AND sideloaded. These have installed fine on every other ROM I've used, including 44.

In 500, I was unable to sideload or restore these apps, and I also wasn't able to install one from the Store, the standard Pandora app.

In RC3, I AM able to install the standard Pandora app from the Store, but still wasn't able to sideload or restore my 2 apps. What ended up working for ME, is that I used the app ZipSigner 2 and signed my 2 apps' apk's using the SHARED key...neither Platform, Auto, Testkey, nor None (the only ones I tried before Shared) worked. Once they were sideloaded, I could then restore their data from a backup.

So, Jamie, I don't know whether this is something you'd want to have a logcat for and look into further, but if not, maybe it can at least help others that are still having trouble sideloading.

This ROM has now taken the lead for me over SM9, which I've also been testing and think it's great, but this is SO FAST on my EVO! Think if I still wan't ICS, I'll try to get the S3 for $50 on black friday. :D

Thanks Jamie and Rope for all your hard and diligent work on this ROM! Can't wait to dive into the swag bag....any chance there could be a T9 Predictive Search mod for the phone app in there (assuming that's even possible)? ;)

Hey thanks for the feedback! We're aware of the side loading... Its now 100% fixed, along with a few "bugs" (read nuisances) that somehow, nobody has brought up. ;)

But here's the deal, these RC releases have been necessary to debug what is going to be the culmination of Deck's ReLoaded in .500. Now don't get me wrong, nothing is being cast away, its just we have taken Deck's ROM as far as it can go, maybe even a little farther than we even thought possible. We have learned a lot along the way, this has been one hell of a great ride, and we thank every single one of you who have supported, promoted and preached the ReLoaded goodness.

Now the real work starts. A new chapter... you could even say, a new benchmark is heading this way. ReLoaded was/is good, great maybe, but mark my words, we haven't even started yet. What we have in store for ya'll is going to be epic……… that word doesn't suffice...

Prepare yourselves, the goal is unadulterated, raw, blasphemously fast... THE "end all" ROM. My "Call to arms" is about to have the bar raised. ReLoaded is child's play.

While I'm at it (and I haven't searched the thread so sorry if this is a repeat question), but would V6 Supercharger and similar scripts make things better on this ROM, or just break things? I've had good and bad results with it and I've been hesitant using it after it broke Wifi and 3G on me last time...

Thanks Casmi! Nice to see you around, you always seem to brighten the place up around here. ;)

I'ma add this- you might as well wait till .500 RLS drops here real soon. All these RCs were debugging roms....

I can say this with full confidence, you'll need a dual core device running ICS or better with an AOSP ROM and custom kernel to even think about matching the performance of what's coming with this RLS release of .500. Take that to the bank.

Just a quick question on this as I may seem to be the only one with the issue. Still on RC3 about once or twice a day I get a lock up in an app and a boot loop or a reboot where it doesn't recognize the SD card until I wipe and fix permissions. Also noticed some apps unable to save right before the "event".

I saved a log last two times. Just haven't had a chance to post it. Anyone else see this at all or sound familiar?

Also have an annoyance with the screen coming back on sometimes requiring a couple pushes of power button. Thought I saw that mentioned somewhere but haven't found it again.

[EVO 4G Original Development] spotopolis:
I was curious as to how this ROM (RC3) would bench against a stock Sense ROM.

I ran Antutu Benchmark on .500 RC3 all test

My .500 was running DTA2SD and all stock. I left the CPU settings as is. No UV, OV, or OCs.

I have a 32GB Class 10 UHS-1 card in my EVO and I am running a HW004 phone.

I then rebooted to Smelkus wiped everything in the wipe menu (aside from SD card) then rebooted recovery and wiped everything again.

I then flashed Captian Throwbacks 5.07.651.1 Stock Rooted V1 http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1671395

I signed into Google and then updated my PRL and Profile. Then downloaded and ran Antutu

Attached are my two results. Let me say that I understand that benchmarking isnt always the best way to show off or actually calculate a phones real performance. I am in NO WAY knocking Decks ReLoaded. I love the ROM and WILL continue to use it. I know from using it myself that it IS faster than a stock ROM.

That being said, why is it that the stock ROM scores quite a bit higher in these benchmarks? Why is there a difference? Is it the DTA2SD? Just curious why I didn't see better benches from .500.

EDIT: I just remembered that Stock ROMs have the CPU Gov set to Ondemand. That was my bad. Ive been running rooted to long to remember that right from the get go.

I am re-running the bench with the Gov on .500 changed to make it more "fair" to the Stock rom. 3 IMG is the new bench.

I am still interested in how these numbers are actually calculated. With how much tweaking has been done to this ROM, why is it not reflected more so in these benches?
[EVO 4G Original Development] NxNW:
Let's not fill up the development thread with screen shots of benchmarks. We can do that over in general.

As Jamie pointed out recently, this ROMs performance benefits aren't necessarily measurable in benchmark tests anyway. It is optimized for *apparent* speed of the user interface.

Having said that, I have been running .44 at 1113 MHz (interactivex) and I just got a quadrant of 1119. That compares favorably with any stock Sense ROM. (The only time I ever saw more than 1200 on Sense was running a version of myn's Synergy using some trick called GodMode which served only to inflate benchmarks but made the phone unusably slower in every other way. )
