Yeah dude, seems like whenever I release a ROM or an update, people go and drop ROMs too hahah. It isn't a contest though! And I feel ya dude, reading can really really help, I do my best to read ALL of the comments and try to answer questions as friendly as possible because when the dev is user-friendly and helpful, people tend to be more respectful in my opinion. But yeah dude, I will always do my best to help people out wherever I can, and I am glad you, as well as others, like this thing!! I was a bit nervous that people weren't going to like it but quickly realized I was wrong. Thank you. :)

.... use a different kernel then!!! You have a TON of options!
[EVO 4G Android Development] johnnycooper:
Fisher,

I can't understand why you will not try SmelksuMOD 4.3 recovery?
[EVO 4G Android Development] MBQ_:
+1

It is the best recovery for the EVO. Steve took amonRA and made it better!
[EVO 4G Android Development] johnnycooper:
amonRA = Toyota

SmelksuMOD 4.3 = Lexus

That is the best way I can explain it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] MBQ_:
Agreed.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Soap:
Nope. Clockwork = 1999 honda

Amon Ra = 2010 ford mustang GT

Smelkus = Ferrari 458 Italia.

Stock = scrap metal. :cool:
[EVO 4G Android Development] fisher1991:
I would try it but it's not working for me I go into hboot with the zip file renamed and the hboot recognizes it and does its thing then it says parsing..... (pc36img.zip) and it stays there I wind up pulling battery after 20 min or so
[EVO 4G Android Development] PlatinumPenguin:
I'm going to take a wild guess and say that you are S-on. In that case use fastboot method.
[EVO 4G Android Development] johnnycooper:
I used Flash Image Gui from the market to install smelkkus, It works pretty good.
[EVO 4G Android Development] blaz1nr:
You dont need s-off to flash recovery. you can flash almost everything but radio's. Check out this article i wrote. This is a 100% sure way to change recoveries or whatever you want... this will work for windows,mac and linux.

Downloaded and running really smooth right out of the box. Thanks for the good work. Enjoying the Team XTC Roms.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jpisini:
Would it be possible to downgrade Mason to 14? I notice my buttons don't light up under 15, not just this Rom any I have tried.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ShagNasty2:
Wierd, I am using the one that came in the rom (15) and have no issues......

Did you try fix permissions... worth a shot.
[EVO 4G Android Development] PHE-NOM:
"What do you mean, YOU people?" Lol, good work guys.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ShagNasty2:
FYI: This rom works well with Boot Manager.....:good:
[EVO 4G Android Development] MBQ_:
That is always good.. :D
[EVO 4G Android Development] ShagNasty2:
Yup, got my 2 favorites in boot manager, this one and ss_ultra....

:D :D

You're a true fan/supporter shag, all the way from the start
[EVO 4G Android Development] jpisini:
Yep didn't help. My phone just doesn't like 15 for some reason.
[EVO 4G Android Development] cityneversleepz:
Hey Shag, that is good info. Clarification please - can this rom work well as rom 1....2 etc? I am a boot manager noob. No luck so far but I didn't start using it until recently and FAIL all the time. Looking for say RemICS for example as the phone rom and this as the rom 1. It is ROM 1 and up that I have had no luck with, but I'm thinking you knew that.

Thanks and I am still running this ROM too. Can't take it off my phone..butter.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ShagNasty2:
try this one and see what happens......... nandroid first please..
[EVO 4G Android Development] jpisini:
I'll try it tomorrow morning won't have time till then. Thanks.
[EVO 4G Android Development] MBQ_:
No rush dude. :good:

Edit: Man, people really don't want nightlies... lol
[EVO 4G Android Development] ShagNasty2:
I believe that possibly the FSO part of the kernel is the culprit for a small number of phones. I read this somewhere else that it creates havik on some. I guess will see after he flashes..
[EVO 4G Android Development] Kreatur3:
CUTTING EDGE PLEASE!!! Ignore the nay sayers hahaha.:D
[EVO 4G Android Development] ShagNasty2:
I have my phone rom as ss_ultra and sensuaosp as rom 1. Make sure you enable large boot image in boot manager before installing roms.

Took me awhile also. Make sure wifi is off before stating BM or you will get a license check fail.....

Load the two roms listed and you'll have the best of both worlds......
[EVO 4G Android Development] cityneversleepz:
WOW, that is really sweat info! Who knows how long it would have taken me to figure that out. I've been searching too. You The man Shag! I just saw (and I know MBQ did too) something worth trying. ICS rocks, but when you need 4g, ffc, and all the other staple stuff that this rom offers, it will be nice to know it is just a reboot away. MBQs rom is perfect and exactly what I have been looking for for those reasons.

[EVO 4G Android Development] Soap:
Between you and me, did you get the launcher info sorted out? No more "uh-oh" moments going on?
[EVO 4G Android Development] MBQ_:
Not yet, that is why I am keeping it in the 'test' phase, just wanted to pump this out so people have something to stay busy with while the real issues get worked out. :good:
[EVO 4G Android Development] Soap:
Might want to put a warning. Either download a second launcher or restore a version of go launcher :/
[EVO 4G Android Development] MBQ_:
Well... I deleted com.gau.go.launcherex in data/data along with the theme presets, so no problems should be there anymore.

In the next version, I plan to include the launcher themed AND fully working.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Soap:
Hmm.. that should solve the problem. I think I know a way to get the theme to stick. We'll save that work a later date though. Nice work bro.

[EVO 4G Android Development] Kreatur3:
With the sense 4 them for golauncher being free can you have it pre-installed with the rom to save people downloading or would that be some kind of violation? Just curious.
[EVO 4G Android Development] cityneversleepz:
I used the GPS last night and it worked really well. Only thing I can say, when I first opened navigation, it hung for a few seconds. I closed it and reopened it and from that point it was aces. Maybe that is why you are fixing it....

[EVO 4G Android Development] Burnin PIFF:
Hey I tried flashing the first version, and now this one and I'm having some trouble. I'm using Smelkus, did a Superwipe, and flashed the ROM. When I try to boot it, it shows the EVO 4G logo, and then turns off, and does the same thing over and over. Am I missing something, or is this supposed to happen?
[EVO 4G Android Development] MBQ_:
I released a new version an hour ago, try that one.

wipe everything 3x

partition your SD

upgrade ext2 to ext3

ext3 to ext4

flash the ROM

wipe cache and dalvik-cache

enjoy
[EVO 4G Android Development] Burnin PIFF:
Yeah I don't have my SD card partitioned so you think that's the problem?
[EVO 4G Android Development] MBQ_:
That is exactly the problem. A2SD is baked into this ROM, and without a partition, A2SD doesn't have anything to move your apps, cache, and dalvik-cache too.. so yeah, partition, and you'll be on your merry way
[EVO 4G Android Development] Burnin PIFF:
Cool thanks for the quick help man. One more quick question before I do this, will I be able to remove the partition say if I'd like to do a restore of my current setup or whatever?
[EVO 4G Android Development] MBQ_:
No.

If I may ask, why would you want to? Partitioning your SD speeds up SDcard read/write speeds, and potentially frees up RAM

Oh yeah, 0 swap, and partition to 1024
[EVO 4G Android Development] Burnin PIFF:
lol Not really sure just in case I ever needed the space or something I guess but you're right. Thanks a lot for the help going to flash now.
[EVO 4G Android Development] MBQ_:
No problem dude. Enjoy. :good:
[EVO 4G Android Development] Burnin PIFF:

What recovery are you using? Lately there has been a resurgence, of people straying away from RA. Why you would do this is beyond me. It has been a well known fact for more than a year, that the evo does not like any other recovery. You might get away with it on a few roms,but surely your phone will give you problems. People don't relate the way a recovery installs and wipes,to problems once the phone boots. Its almost always your problem,unless the dev messed up or your hardware is dying. Try switching to RA then see if you have problems,if after that its not fixed. Report the problem,please take time to make and publish a log cat. That way the problem can be identified. Thanks........Loving the rom MBQ:thumbup::thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:

If you ever want to remove your partition, there is a way. I found this little application and successfully and completely removed my partitions:

MiniTool Partition Wizard Professional Edition

there are two versions. But only the pro version will remove the partitions. You need a sd card reader and your computer. You can't do it just with your phone. I'm not sure if there is anything else out there that will do this, but this one works!

it does boot insanely fast though :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] dieselford:
Wouldn't you be able to use g parted to delete the partitions and then extend the fat partition to use the un allocated space? I haven't tried it due to having no reason to delete them. G parted on ubuntu is real easy to use
[EVO 4G Android Development] MBQ_:
Alright. Report back please.
[EVO 4G Android Development] smaw51:
Still nothing after the second reflash, I went ahead and rewiped everything and repartitioned my sd card. It might have been from me coming from an ICS rom or maybe just from too many flashes and changes my phone just needed to have a clean slate. I do it anyways every so often for fun and to get rid of stuff I don't use anyway.

Everything is working beautifully now!! Great ROM!! I was having some issues at first with a lot of repetative reboots in a short period of time but that was probably from conflicts with my app backups and stuff. One thing that would be cool, but would probably be hard would be adding the setting link to the notification pull down like in most of the ICS roms. I used to wonder why it was there but after a while started to enjoy it. My battery monitor is reading a drain between 23-25 mA during screen off time and wifi,bluetooth,mobile data, and sync all on.

I can't wait to see what else you do with this!!

Quick question about vipermod, I've never used it before, how does under and over volting affect the phone? Is it like under or over clocking?
[EVO 4G Android Development] MBQ_:
Takes the phones frequency and lowers it by the desired amount. So in the end, the CPU uses less power, which means better battery life with nearly the same power usage.

Thanks
[EVO 4G Android Development] Soap:
Are you partitioned?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Collinl:
im sorry, im kind of new at this -- all i did was wipe and install, how do i "partition?"
[EVO 4G Android Development] Soap:
Copy everything worth keeping on your SD card to your computer and boot to recovery. Find the partition SD card menu and partition. In doing so, it will wipe your SD card. Partition to 1024 swap 0 with FAT remainder. Once that is done, upgrade to ext3. Move back all the files that were previously on your SD card and you'll be good. You need a Ra based recovery for this. Preferably smelkus.
[EVO 4G Android Development] MBQ_:
also... upgrade ext3 to ext4
[EVO 4G Android Development] Collinl:
whats the difference between ext 2 3 4? if you dont mind me asking...
[EVO 4G Android Development] MBQ_:
http://www.thegeekstuff.com/2011/05/ext2-ext3-ext4/

Basically, ext4 is the fastest of all of those. Best read/write speeds.

sometimes the first time booting after installing a2sd you will get 3 quick reboots. it's just the script doing its thing and should only happen the first boot up.
