[EVO 4G Android Development] magnumstg16:
Well your first mistake is using CWM recovery. Use Amon-RA, more specifically Smelkus recovery found here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1661543. The instructions are on his site. His recovery is hands down the most effective, safest and user friendly recovery for our Evo's, period. Like Papa said don't use Mazda's partition script because a2sd doesn't install until you initiate it. I always wipe a few times (use the Super Wipe feature on Smelkus recovery and wipe temp files), flash the rom and reboot. There is no reason it shouldn't boot after about 10 minutes.

Can someone post an MD5 so I can compare to mine?

I have had about 5 cases of hard freezes that have required battery pulls. I guess it’s possible that I have a bad download since nobody else seems to be having issues like I’m seeing. They seem to happen when the system gets stressed, like if apps are updating and I’m doing something on another app while the app update is installed. Just now I was clearing notifications while Tweetcaster loaded up and it froze.

I wiped everything with Smelkus recovery prior to flashing and haven’t flashed anything on top of the rom at all. Just running stock everything with no tweaks other than what’s built in. I even tried raising my voltages by 25 to see if that would help and it’s happened twice now this morning. I’m just using stock clock speeds and wheatley governor. I haven’t had any issues like this with any other roms so I’m kind of stumped.

This is the md5 for my download but I have nothing to compare it to.

[EVO 4G Android Development] aheeejd:
I had these problems yesterday, but I dl'd via 3g, the first time (because I was at work) so I figured I can't complain. Got home later in the day & redownloaded via wifi, wiped a couple of times using smelkus recovery, then powered down. 5 minutes later I powered back up using power button & volume down, went to recovery & flashed rom, then powered back off. 5 minutes later powered back up using power & volume down, back to recovery, wiped cache, & dalvik & fixed permissions (find them under other, in smelkus recovery) then rebooted & it ran amazing. May not fix it for you but what you explained, I was experiencing & that fixed it for me.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mrflex:
I had this problem also and it frustrated the crap out of me. I just thought it was something I did wrong or my phone as everyone else was loving the rom and how stable it was. Thanks MizzouBrent for putting it out there.

[EVO 4G Android Development] SuperiorEVOlution18:
Boot will definitely take longer then 5 minutes for the record. Because of what PS said in the OP I timed it about 10ish minutes to get to boot animation and another 2-5 to boot up.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Papa Smurf151:
For those that want that gone. Go into ur init.d folder. Got to the 45smurfed file. Delete the dozen or so lines under the # vaccume section. That should speep up boot up but u will not get the benifits of it.

Also experiencing several hard locks requiring battery pulls. Most common when installing apps from Play Store while doing something else.

Just checking, but are others experiencing these issues have both the Data and Dalvik cache moved to the SD card with a2sd per the OP? I have only ever had Dalvik. Not sure if that's the issue or not.
[EVO 4G Android Development] MizzouBrent:
Yes to dalvik no to data
[EVO 4G Android Development] SuperiorEVOlution18:
I had it happen both ways. I went OP instructions first but got too much lag due to the data being off internal so moved it back and no lag but still have those nasty freezes.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ropodope:
move your data back, run your cache from sd or not but don't run your data from the sd. Again DON'T run your data from SD.

[EVO 4G Android Development] MizzouBrent:
That's exactly what I have done from the get-go and I had freezes.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ageesm:
I just don't get it. I am not getting the same experience as most people. No matter what I do there is lag here and there, more so than Mazda's 1.5 which I've been stuck on for a while now. Scrolling in most situations *stutters* considerably more, just seems a touch more choppy. The rom overall is without a doubt the fastest CM9 rom I've had on my Evo, but it seems like it's at the expense of stability, at least for me personally.

Whether I have apps+dalvik on ext, both on internal, or use Google's method of apps2sd (.android_secure) with dalvik staying on internal, the slight choppiness remains. In addition I've tried a few various governors over the last 48 hours, mainly my usual favorites, SmartassV2 or Wheatley with very similar results. I get a bit of the freezing problems some other people have mentioned, but not as many now that it has somewhat settled in, but still had 2 today.

I know Papa mentioned baking in an undervolt script into the next version we can tweak, but does this version have any undervolting by default? A lot of these symptoms I seem to have are very similar to things I experience when I try to undervolt my Evo too much, it has never seem to like it very much.

Overall I'm very happy Papa was able to re-build this from the ground up and very much look forward to it improving further as it is already quite the accomplishment with the speed improvements he's made to ICS for the Evo. Just doesn't seem to agree with my Evo for whatever reason, these things can act very picky at times. I'll probably end up going back to my trusted v1.5 in the next day or two if my experience continues, but will certainly give it another shot when I'm bored/have the time and keep an eye out for any more developments :D
[EVO 4G Android Development] life:
I will say, that which has been said a million times on these forums, that not all evo's are the same. No two evo's are identical. I'm on hour 50 with everything on a2sd as OP has stated, and was running on smartassV2 and only one hard lock(phone locked itself after 30 messages from boss, and babysitters, and 3 phone calls from boss, wouldn't unlock). I have since changed to wheatly and been running as if this was a stock phone( no lag, freezes, force closes). Awesome rom PS, excellent work.

If I have one criticism it would be the volume of my music, doesn't seem right compared to others (sounds quiet). Ring tones and message tones are fine, just the music. Not really deal breaker tho, again great rom, excellent work!
[EVO 4G Android Development] Gaidal:
Interesting that you say that since Mazda 1.5 has been my daily as well and very stable for me. Will try redoing things here first
[EVO 4G Android Development] webs05:
Sweet, gonna try this next chance.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Gaidal:
Still getting occasional hard locks requiring battery pulls despite rewiping, reflashing, and only having Dalvik cache on the SD card. Seems to happen most often when multitasking while apps are updating.

[EVO 4G Android Development] CRIME INC.:
Just download and open terminal emulator and type in a2sd check, then a2sd install.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ropodope:
you don't need to repartition. Just follow the instructions on activating a2sd after you have flashed and have booted into the rom.

Damn Papa,looking real good,im not a CM fan,but i might have to try this out.
[EVO 4G Android Development] aheeejd:
Couldn't stay away. I tried the new "Strike" rom, & enjoyed it. Runs real nice. I also tried the update on "mokee rom by sharkbait & that was good to. Although I messed it up & triggered tons of FC, which brings me back here. This feels more like home. It's all set up & am now enjoying it immensely. Couple of reboots, but that's okay, thanks again papasmurf! Great rom!
[EVO 4G Android Development] Gaidal:
Weird question, but my first logcat and it doesn't seem to be working. When connected via adb (phone shows up with adb devices and debugging is enabled) and I enter adb logcat, I guess "no such file or directory". Is it disabled somehow? I haven't really done anything unique to the device.
[EVO 4G Android Development] makskylan:
Just wondering if anyone has tried any CM9 themes from the Galaxy S III forums? I have tried a few. I installed them with a warning but installed anyway. I lost all of my status bar. Rebooted and all is good. Themes seem to be working well. Thought I'd share...
[EVO 4G Android Development] jamieg71:
All cm themes I tried work wonderfully. Did have to reboot after a couple of em, but the app said it would happen that way. Same thing on my LTE running CM10. Reboot makes em proper.

Is there any way to get a non "Solid" packed zip file for this? I like to do quite a bit of editing to my zips before I flash, and since this was packed in "Solid" mode (ie...seen as one file/better compression), it does not allow editing. I guess I could just re-pack it myself...just wasn't sure if it was meant to be done that way, or maybe a mistake, because most Dev's don't, that's all.

...sry if this was asked already, but I did not see it in the comments, or in the OP...tnx.

[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GoodDayToDie:
You're far from the first to ask. It's going to be very difficult if not impossible on the stock ROMs. Changing the color is already part of the phone's theme code, even though it only ships with two themes (light, which species the background be 0xFFFFFFFF, and dark, which specifies that it be 0xFF000000). Changing those colors is just a matter of changing theme values in the registry and such. There's nowhere to specify an image, though.
[Nexus Q Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sbeckett:
What do you guys think about disputing any Nexus Q ebay purchases due to the fact Google has killed it.

"not as described" as it is buggy and hardly works for me. Plus since google has publicly stopped selling it its obviously a broken item.

Think ebay would give me a refund for both devices if I dispute the purchase?
[Nexus Q Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shieze:
You should be banned for even posting anything like this. You bought the Nexus Q with the information that was released so live with it, why should the person selling it lose the money you paid?

Google did not call it broken, the issue is that they realize the functionality is too limited for the price point.

[Nexus Q Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sbeckett:
Why am garbage? Google obviously agrees with me.

They took a product that doesn't work most of the time and is overpriced and made it free. I have two of them + 4 android devices and the Nexus Q does not work most of the time!

The didn't want to deal with all of the returns or bad publicity.

Why would you return something that doesn't work if it was free?

But if you purchased something for a premium your really quick to return it when it doesn't work.

I love google and google products. They really did save some face by giving away these devices.

I escalated both ebay purchased and am waiting 72 hours for decision. Pretty much I did buy something that doesn't work as advertised and has pretty much been recalled by Google. The sellers should of accepted my return, but they did not. Will report back on outcome of dispute.
[Nexus Q Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lathanub:
So would you be raising these claims if Google hadn't decided to prolong the release of their Nexus Q product? Somehow, I don't think so.

You bought them and it's not the sellers fault that you bought them; Google hasn't even said that the Q is 'broken'.

You are just going to have to suck it up, sorry.
[Nexus Q Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sbeckett:
I won the dispute, ebay has sent me pre-paid return stickers to send back the items to the sellers for a full refund.

Now, I like the devices - and want to keep them.

But not being fully hacked yet, and not even being able to do what they are supposed to do (play music on TV) without sound cutting out, I think I will send them back.

I think they will be re-released minus the LEDs and speaker ports but with google TV interface + the current streaming features for $200....

You really should know what you are buying before you buy it. In cases like this especially! If you are not willing to get into the weeds and hack the Q, you should not have bought two of them handed out at a developer conference specifically to be hacked!
[Nexus Q Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arby80:
Google does not agree with you that there is anything wrong with the device. Noone wanted it yet for the price or were smart enough to wait and see how the development community panned out before they ordered one. Anyone that ordered one especially off of ebay knew exactly what they were getting. They graciously offered those that pre ordered it for free to generate publicity. If you do not want what they offered you should not have ordered it.
[Nexus Q Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] badass989:
I sure hope you get negative feedback for what you did. The sellers didn't misrepresent anything, and you probably purchased their "new unopened" nexus q's for less than msrp ($300), used them a few days, decided you would wait until they have more features after trying them out and now you are returning them. Now the sellers can't sell them as new since they have been used by you.

This is pretty much just like you bought something at a yard sale or craigslist, tried it out for a few days and now want a refund. "Buyer Beware", you should have researched more or decided to not take a chance and be an early adopter instead of screwing over a couple of people on ebay...

Ebay's decision is based on various factors. That being said, your case sounds to me is more of a Buyer's remorse than inaccurate description of an preview device (which will not be refunded if it is buyer's remorse).

I guess the seller did not responded ebay's request for providing evidence fully or timely therefore you get this one easy. It won't be so lucky next time. I dealt with buyers like you before. All I need was to list all the evidence that shows it is buyer's remorse but not seller's fault and ebay rejected buyer's request last time.

You got lucky this time. I think the seller did not bother or was not aware such refund request or did not take it seriously to contend.
