OK, tried the cachecleaner, that didn't seem to do anything. My "people" disappeared, only coming back after a reboot... then my messenger app went all... screwy.

I don't have a "fix permissions" option in my recovery.

I'm wondering..... Could something be wrong with my sdcard? Just an idea....
[EVO 4G Android Development] bilgerryan:
It might be. If it is happening across multiple ROMs it is probably that or a hardware issue. Try using the RUU back to stock and if it still persists... It is a hardware issue. Making a backup and then formatting your SD isn't a bad idea either.

What recovery are you using? It's in all of them that I have used check under developer options. The other thing that can help is to delete unnecessary files from your sd card and defrag it
[EVO 4G Android Development] Mark_Hardware:
I'm using amonRA. I read somewhere it should be under "other" but it's not.....

I read somewhere, long ago and far away, that someone was having massive issues, and it turned out to be because he was using a theme. So, I decided to "un-use" this theme I had downloaded from the market.... We'll see if that helps
[EVO 4G Android Development] life:
in amon ra, try fix uid mismatches, or something similar in the other menu.

edit:

it is fix apk uid mismatches. in the other menu
[EVO 4G Android Development] Mark_Hardware:
Oh ok, I actually did that last night... So far it's been running better today, I hope that fixed it! Thanks for the help
[EVO 4G Android Development] dgcruzing:
Also as a note if you have problems with the sdcard try using this program to set the ext-partitions..

I just did it on an old sdcard i want to keep in the phone.. Smelkusmod recovery was giving me some problems with upgrading the partitions on this old card.. so I wiped it with Partition magic and started over.. started off with ext-2 on it. then used Smeklus to go up to ext-4.. all good..

[EVO 4G Android Development] Mark_Hardware:
I think the fix permissions worked, cause it has been running great since then. Thanks for the app recommendation, too, I like that it cleans up automatically... :good:

I was curious; do I need to go in and fix permissions regularly? Like I said it's been running great and then today I started getting FC's and hot reboots again...

EDIT: Think I answered my own question. I redid "fix permissions" and my phone seems to have settled down again... Back to running smoothly :)

EDIT 2: 8 reboots in less than 20 minutes. This is just no bueno. :-/
[EVO 4G Android Development] bilgerryan:
Are you running a2sd? Do you have S-Off root?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Mark_Hardware:
Thanks for the help guys, but I went ahead and switched. After switching some apps that I've been having problems with started working great again... And here I was blaming Sprint's crappy data service haha.

To answer your question though bilgerryan, I do have S-off and I was running a2sd...

Thanks again!
[EVO 4G Android Development] bilgerryan:
The reason I asked about a2sd is because I ran into the problem you are describing the other day. It all happened because the launcher was in the data partition and I was running a2sd. Moved the launcher to system and random reboots were gone.

Wipe the app data and reload. If it still didn't work then uninstall, reboot, redownload and reinstall. It ain't no big deal.

[EVO 4G Android Development] SuperiorEVOlution18:
Just a thing I noticed when activating a2sd following the op suggestion saying yes to all I was getting massive lag when launching apps and occasionally swiping through load screens so I ran a a2sd nocachesd to put davlik back and seems better no lag since. Idk guess my Evo is a picky ******* lol loving the ROM though. This is SPOT on.
[EVO 4G Android Development] souleman:
Except you can't uninstall system app's without su privilege. Didn't try wiping app data.. Re-flashing and fixing permissions before initial boot seems to have fixed it though (I flashed a total of 3 times before trying that)
[EVO 4G Android Development] magnumstg16:
Give us some more info. What kind of micro sd card are you using? I know from previous threads Rope has said that our phones don't play well with any card above class 4 and 32gb so if you have one of those that might be your problem. I have a class 10 32gb sd card I mistakenly bought a few months back so I don't put cache or app data on it because I know it slows me down.
[EVO 4G Android Development] aheeejd:
Maybe, just maybe it's placed at the bottom so it gets people to do something very strange to them, maybe reading the whole op. I bet if it was posted near the top, allot of people wouldn't even know about the new a2sd.
[EVO 4G Android Development] cityneversleepz:
I can confirm the class 10s are a problem especially with a2sd. You can get around it by removing your partition completely which is bit of a chore (MiniTool Pro Partition is what I used). Then no a2sd, and maybe firerat for the icing on the cake if you're running out of space. But I have since replaced it with a sandisk class six 16 gig and have flashed almost every team dirt rom and a few others. This sd card has been flawless so far. Still have my fingers crossed though.

I am assuming we are best off with ext.4 and one gig partition...seems to be the standard these days.
[EVO 4G Android Development] life:
sorry, but it depends more on the maker of the card not all cards are created equally. now granted class 4 is more than enough for our phones, and 32 gig cards are known for not living up to the class printed on the label, but not all higher class cards are bad and can work flawlessly.

I, myself, am using a sandisk class UHS (class 10) 16 gig card link here and with this rom with a2sd installed is performing as great as any sense 1 rom available, (which is what this phone came with stock).
[EVO 4G Android Development] Cool Cake:
I don't agree. I have been using a Class 10 32Gb Samsung card for a half year now and have flashed every DIRT ROM with no problems.

[EVO 4G Android Development] jamieg71:
Excellent explanation and work around.

Indeed not all cards are created equal.

The thing is, is that our device was designed for class four cards. While it is very possible to run a class 10 card and never experience a problem, this should be seen as the exception and not the norm. Plenty of people do experience random issues on the higher class SD cards. ;)

Over the top Papa!! My daughter is running this ROM on my old OG and thinks its great! Pretty smart kid for being 12... lol

[EVO 4G Android Development] SuperiorEVOlution18:
Yea know about the EVO and class 10 it hates my 16gig class 10 but I'm using an 8gig class 4 currently and it just seems to be giving me a fit. Put the data and cache back seems to be better. Although been getting random freezes(nothing responding not screen or soft buttons power or volume buttons nothing) lately not sure why its been 3 times while doing different things. Did a complete wipe and reflash, gonna see how it does.
[EVO 4G Android Development] bennyboy78:
Wow ffc fix... I personally never use it, but I'm sure others would be insanely happy if you did fix it. You would be more awesome if you did!! Btw this ROM is great. Smooth stable fast
[EVO 4G Android Development] aheeejd:
I experienced these freezes earlier, but I dl'd rom at work over 3g, home now & re downloaded via wifi & is running great right now.

But I wanted to take a moment to say that I've always heard of people having to pull the battery here & there, whenever their phone locks up. I've never seen this mentioned before so I wanted to mention it here & now. When my phone locks up tight I used to do a battery pull, one day I was playing around & I found that if I hold power, volume up & volume down (all at the same time) the screen goes black (sometimes it takes a few seconds) & once it goes black I lift my finger off of the volume up button & it boots into boot loader. Consistently. It even works if your phone isn't locked up. I can do it right now & it will work. I hope I don't get laughed at, & find out this is common knowledge, I've read many threads over the last year & like I said, don't hear people mention it. I just wanted to share. If it turns out to be common, then delete this post, lol.

[EVO 4G Android Development] the.emilio:
First, not cool to ask which is better. Just common courtesy to the devs.

Second, each device is different. What works good for some may differ for others. Best to try both for a few days each to get a good feel for em. Then make your own decision then.
[EVO 4G Android Development] bilgerryan:
+1, Everybody has certain preferences and features that they like and want to be in the ROM they are using. Figure out what you want and try to find a ROM that has them. the.emilio is right, after a day or two you'll figure out which one you like more... No one can really say which is better, it all comes down to preference. It's kinda like comparing food. You're not necessarily gonna like what I like. But I will say this ROM KICKS A$$! I spent a lot of time with it while porting it to the Shift. PapaSmurf did an awesome job on it.

XDA Moderator
[EVO 4G Android Development] dilar:
Awesome. Thanks for that.

So I downloaded your ROM and didn't realize Gapps were baked in. So I installed Gapps at the initial flash. Bad move I suppose. So I wiped and reinstalled. Now the phone appears to be bootlooping at the splash screen. trying again.. any advice?

---------- Post added at 09:43 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:22 AM ----------

It has been 10 minutes since my last 6x wipe and reflash. still nothing but splash screen with intermittent black, then vibrating to come back to slash screen. Is this designed to work this way, or is it boot looping?

---------- Post added at 09:56 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:43 AM ----------

25 minutes in, I am going to assume this is boot looping. I'd like to try this ROM. LMK what data you need to help me fix it. moving to another ROM for now, because I only have one phone
[EVO 4G Android Development] bilgerryan:
Redownload, did you check md5sum before you flashed? It's a good habit to get into, so you and the anybody else trying to help you don't end up looking like idiots trying to get a bad download to work.... because it won't.
[EVO 4G Android Development] dilar:
I will admit I did not check MD5s. I dl'ed the ROM on the phone. is there an MD5 checker for android?

---------- Post added at 10:16 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:11 AM ----------

also, please do note, that the ROM booted when I accidentally installed Gapps. It was just really messed up. everything force closed. couldn't access Play Store or camera. Gmail was only working app. even settings would force close. but it booted.
[EVO 4G Android Development] bilgerryan:
Yes, there is actually an app called md5 check on the Play Store. Ok, so when you reflashed did you wipe dalvik, if not that is why it didn't work.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Papa Smurf151:
Check how ur wiping as well. I recommend smelkus recovery. Not cwm. The superwipe plus factory reset will take care if everything u need. Then flash ROM and ur golden

Papa, I saw this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1620255 and wanted to use it, but ran into issues. Wondered if you have seen/used the tool, and if my issues with it might be ROM related. I found others that have success using smelkus recovery, which I use, and the og-evo has also had positive results. Just looking for your 2cents. Thanks!

CHEERS,
[EVO 4G Android Development] Papa Smurf151:
tbh im not really sure at all. I no longer have the evo anymore so cant test it out. I looked at the tool but could not tell why it wouldnt work. Maybe it doesnt like the way that im using the a2sd that is baked in and has a different way of doing things developed by evervolv
[EVO 4G Android Development] rydog66:
I was kinda leaning toward that same line of reasoning. Your rom has a lot of things that are not inclused in just any ole rom out there, so I figured that was morre than likely the incompatability issue with that one tool. Oh well, I just gotta do nandroids the way I always have, no biggie. Thanks for your quick reply. Since you got rid of your og evo, does that mean there will not be any more work done on this rom?? I know the phone is 3+yrs old, but, we still love it.

Thanks AGAIN!!!!

Hi, I just installed this awesome ROM. I'm loving it. But, I'm having a problem with the GPS. It has been working very intermittently dropping the signal and gaining the signal. I am aware of the GPS fix but it's no dice. I have not had this GPS issue with Team Dirt's ICS Rom. Thanks!
[EVO 4G Android Development] MBQ_:
..... So what's your question? :)

---------- Post added at 04:30 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:09 AM ----------

Okay so I'm going to throw in my 2 cents right now.

What I first noticed..

Frickin awesome battery life.. using a 3500MaH battery, flashed the ROM, and let my phone sit all night (8hours) woke up, and was at 98% (coming from a full charge) ... I am fully aware that was purely screen off time, but still.. very impressive.

I did encounter *some* lag, but I changed a couple of things, used the settings alaman68 recommended a few pages back, and this thing was flying. A couple hours in it was still performing great. I did run into a problem though with messages, and this happens with all ICS ROMs for me for whatever reason. The problem is: if I am doing something (listening to music, using whatever app) and I get a text, I go to look at the text, but it wont be there. I haven't looked into it too far yet and I am more than sure it is something on my end, but that's about the only bug I have really had aside from the typical bugs ICS has. Papa, I am very, very impressed with your work. Another couple things I have noticed is the sound and screen quality on this ROM is outstanding (Thank you XxpachaxX for your wonderful Sony Bravia and xLoud mods). So basically what I'm trying to get at, even though it is obvious, is that this ROM is just a winner... as Charlie Sheen would've said. ;)

Papa, thank you for all your work, keeping XDA at peace by threatening us with bans if we misbehave (lol), being one of the coolest mods on here, bringing this awesome ROM to us,and making our phones super fast with the use of your script. I had to leave this due to the messaging problem (Being 17, I text alot hahah) but am actually going to give this thing another chance because I wouldn't feel useful if I just complained about a bug without any possible reasons as to why it is happening, plus I love this ROM. So, that's about all I have to say.

The final verdict?

This is peer pressure worth giving in to. FLASH THIS ROM. :good:
[EVO 4G Android Development] allhill:
hmm i just flash this rom, everything work ok...

but i need video call, so i flash back to MikG, but my google account look like something wrong... i can sync contact, but i cant log on to gtalk and download apps from play store :( there a pop message tell "... could not be downloaded due to error. (Error retrieving information from server. [RPC:AEC:0])"

any idea?
[EVO 4G Android Development] aheeejd:
Go into manage apps & clear data & force close play store. Then try again.
[EVO 4G Android Development] allhill:

edit : i think it solve... i do factory reset, and now my gtalk and google play works fine... now i need to flash back to GB.. thanks :) after finish my video call, will back to this rom.
[EVO 4G Android Development] got_killed:
Sorry! I was unclear of my question! Heh. I am basically wondering if there are any GPS fixes included with this ROM? I am having GPS connection issues with this one while I had none with other ICS Roms.

I'm doing something wrong just not sure what. I've re-downloaded and tried to install twice. It just hangs on white evo screen, no bootloop though.

First two times I waited about 15 then about 30 mins. This last attempt I let it go overnight, 7hrs. No dice, just hangs on white screen.

Using CWM recovery, wiped everything twice before installing.

Also now that I think of it, I did try to use the partition script after install that recoups partition space.
