Hey...I figured out what caused my issue with gtalk. It was the dark smurf mod zip.

As soon as I flash that talk stops working. I didn't find any other issues, but its at least effecting talk.
[EVO 4G Android Development] NewMC:
Suggestions or common issue?

Hi all, please let me know if you experience this issue or if it is common and I've just not heard about it.

For as long as I can remember running ICS roms on my Evo I seem to get a reboot every couple weeks that wipes all of my launcher settings/widgets (regardless of launcher used) and also all of my Account settings. When the phone boots the launcher will start but the widgets never show up so I am forced to rebuild my launcher screeens. When this happens my Google accounts are all that are left on the phone so then I must add all of my accounts and set up sync parameters again. It's not a huge deal but frustrating because it's thirty minutes or more out of my day when it happens. This time it started with a hotboot last night when I was trying to log in to an application.

Is this a common problem or specific to my particular hardware? It's not just Papa's rom, it happened on Deck's CM9 port also.

Love the ROM, only things just have an issue with is start up time and your settings. When I click on it it just force closes.
[EVO 4G Android Development] poohhbearr:
Love the rom but have several issues. Seems choppy at times, when typing or scrolling. The home screen takes a long time to appear Everytime I hit the home key or exit an app. Camcorder choppy. Random reboots, once a day. I have reinstalled several times wiped all the standards. Any ideas, I don't see others with these issues.

One more thing, seemed like it wouldn't install the first couple of times. Had to install other rom, and wipe, and then install smurf. Was weird.

Oh yeah, and no flash player
[EVO 4G Android Development] japugh0578:
Thanks! Everything else is working smoothly, even my NBA League Pass Live Game streams! (which was a turn off from other ICS roms)

Except, my instagram SORTA freezes my phone when i try to post pics, I looked around the interwebs and heard thats an ICS port issue tho.

I can still hear my notifications popping, but my soft keys go dark and unusable, as well as my power button and volume keys and i cant see a status bar. I have to battery pull and reboot.

Other than that great rom!!
[EVO 4G Android Development] dgcruzing:
Almost a week of running it in..

Getting good batt life.. So am happy with that..

For the launcher redraws and choppyness you might want to check if the governors are loading on boot.. I had to place the tick in there via settings.. Seems to fixed everything as i noticed it was running on min cpu most of the time without it... Thus everything was as sticky as hell.. Took me a day to work it out..

Ap2sd is still manual for me.. Don't know why that script didn't stick.. Not to bothered as i can push them as i load them them.

Gone are the freezes that i was getting on browsers.. So am happy with that.. And no random reboots here..

Big thanks for the effort papasmurf and his helpers..
[EVO 4G Android Development] ShagNasty2:
Read the OP, this has already been explained....
[EVO 4G Android Development] poohhbearr:
I have it on performance gov when charging and the performance shows max cpu being used. Setcpu shows that it fluctuates. No difference between performance or ondemandx. Or if so it's very subtle
[EVO 4G Android Development] dgcruzing:
mines been on..

smartass

min 245

max 998

set on boot ticked..

only thing I am getting is a delay in the multi-tasking, when you push the home button..

sometimes its a count of 3-5 before it pops up..but have worked that out..

seems the recall is holding a lot in cache..I just checked it and it had about 10 previous programs in there..

so by swiping them away, back down to say 3 or 4..fixs the problem..

I have gone into developer options and set it to only allow 4 program background process.

will see how it goes..
[EVO 4G Android Development] Papa Smurf151:
That's because it has zeps multitasking tweak added to the services.jar which allows 30 programs to be opened for unlimited amount of time.

[EVO 4G Android Development] dgcruzing:

so am on the right track with limiting them then..

if you know which ones you want to use a lot then there's no problem..
[EVO 4G Android Development] Papa Smurf151:
Yup limiting them is best bet

XDA Moderator
[EVO 4G Android Development] TC_Racutt:
I'm going to try limiting apps. Randomly when I'm listening to music, the volume gets SUPER loud for a split second making me half deaf. I think it's because of the background apps running
[EVO 4G Android Development] MBQ_:
It could potentially be the music app as well... depending on what (app) it is,
[EVO 4G Android Development] Papa Smurf151:
Also go into sound and change from DSP manager to music fx

Sorry for the delay ShagNasty...been super busy. Yes, I'm running SM 2.0.3, it's only happened once on SM but used to happen on Deck's CM9 every reboot. I've tried backing up "Accounts" with TB but when I restore it the accounts still aren't there so I have to go through and put them all in again...PITB.

Well is been great so far papa.

Got an issue has been happening lately, not sure if its cuz I am running off a nand backup or not since flashing has always been so much fun :rolleyes:

While I'm typing, its been with tapatalk and MMS both...every so often the keyboard will completely stop responding and the search bar opens with what I've typed.

I close it out and open up msg app again and its just doesn't type anymore until I reboot?
[EVO 4G Android Development] dgcruzing:

another one bites the dust...

but as I am looking at S3 myself..its not all bad news..

and as is this is a stable daily driver..

thanks for the work Papasmurf..
[EVO 4G Android Development] shirles:
Yeah, I have been getting this, and it is crazy annoying...can't even listen to music because every minute and a half my ear drums get blown out. I have tried 3 different music players, all with the same result. Not sure what else to do...since music is a huge part of what I use my phone for I may have to switch ROMs I suppose =( I was really liking this one too =/
[EVO 4G Android Development] MBQ_:

I'm having the same problem as well. It sits on the "Evo 4g" white screen. I never saw the bootlogo come up. It vibrated three or four times but never left that screen. Pulled battery, rewiped, and trying another install now.

EDIT: Just constantly rebooting, never getting past the first screen. I guess I won't be using this one either :/
[EVO 4G Android Development] Blargins_Magoosh:
When I flash the rom it doesnt boot past the white HTC screen, even after 20 minutes. Wiped everything and have card partitioned, not sure what's up...

Just heads up on tethering..

"Barnacle" is working for me on this Rom..

just make sure you tick "skip wpa_supplicant" under settings and you should be good to go..

I have been using Foxfi but its bluetooth only and I see they have gone payfor $7

Direct is way better then bluetooth for speeds..

Happy camper again as I use tether a lot on fast trains running round China..
[EVO 4G Android Development] Mikekelso421:
Hey papa,just started using your ROM yesterday..its very nice.I have 2 questions.

R u going to get your smurf settings working?

And also,is there a way to make the pone boot up faster.it takes really long to boot.

Other than that,this is a great ROM.thank you for supporting our old ass phone! :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] Papa Smurf151:
Smurf settings will be running eventually and if u want phone to boot faster go into your init.d folder and delete all the scripts starting with smurf. You'll lose some enhancement tweaks but boot up will be quicker

XDA Moderator
[EVO 4G Android Development] Mikekelso421:
Well if thats the case, ill leave them be. This rom runs great. Definitely dont want to lose any enhancements. Thank u very much. I figured since everyone is going to jb all ics development was gonna die!

Your the man!

[EVO 4G Android Development] Papa Smurf151:
jb on the evo is not running well so i never went there. Now when I move this to my sg3 its going to be as a JB rom.
[EVO 4G Android Development] life:
my heart just skipped, had no idea you had a gs3.....
[EVO 4G Android Development] Blargins_Magoosh:
Really want to try this rom, much appreciation to anyone that can get back to me on it not booting past splash screen.
[EVO 4G Android Development] life:
is your phone plugged into pc when booting?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Blargins_Magoosh:
Nope...
[EVO 4G Android Development] NewMC:
I'm no expert but I will try to help you.

1) What recovery are you using?

2) Do you have a NAND backup of your previous setup?

3) What did you do to wipe/prep prior to flashing?

4) Have you used a2sd before? Have you created an sd-ext on your sd?

If you are using CWM or standard Amon Ra I would recommend using Smelkus' version here.

**Make sure your phone is fully charged.** If you don't already have this recovery, flash it and then boot to recovery. Do Superwipe (this wipes everything except SD-ext three times), I usually do Superwipe more than once but there is really no need. When I switch roms I also backup and delete everything off of SD except the rom and any additional goodies. The rom will build the folders it needs so you can then add your ringtones or anything else back in.

Now flash SmurfMod (make sure you have the newest version) and let it boot. Do not flash anything else at the same time and give it a good thirty minutes to boot before you do a battery pull or anything else. Do this all on battery power, not while plugged in....if phone is trying to charge it could cause some kind of error. If the phone boots let it settle for another thirty minutes before touching it. ***If your phone doesn't boot at this point boot to recovery, do SuperWipe again, and then flash your NAND backup and make sure your phone boots and works as it did before (just to make sure you aren't having hardware failure).

If your successful to this point you can log in to your Google account and then you can update SuperSU binaries. If you want to use a2sd open the included terminal and follow the instructions in the OP. Good Luck!!

My wife's phone is running a GB rom but she has been losing her radio connection quite a bit recently, so I have a few questions if you dont mind?

1. Camera/video camera? Working? She uses them a lot

2. Battery life? How is it compared to GB rom's?

3. Any other bugs? I see what you posted for not working, and what is FFC?
[EVO 4G Android Development] NewMC:
1 - Camera works great. Video camera is jittery but you can record with the market app "Videocam Illusion" and the videos are good. - This problem is common to all ICS/JB roms on the Evo, it is a hardware issue.

2 - This is the best battery life of any rom I've ever ran on my Evo since release day.

3 - Front Facing Camera does not work.

* This rom is just a bit slow to boot but once you have everything set up the it is very stable and very fast. If she can live with the answers above she won't regret moving to this rom.

Also, SmurfMod Settings will offer even more tweaks once Papa Smurf has the time to complete them.
[EVO 4G Android Development] giveen:
Thank you so much. I'll try a new camera app to see if that helps any. I don't think she really uses front facing camera.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Blargins_Magoosh:
Am using smelkis and have done full wipe. Will try to give er 30 min or so and see what happens. Thanks a lot tho broski, finally got a decent response :D
[EVO 4G Android Development] life:
Lol decent response? It's strange hundreds of others can get it to boot, and if have problems, can go into detail of their problems instead of "I have done full wipes and flashed according to instructions, it won't boot." details are crucial to help any problems with android. The more details the better, logcats are optimal, screenshots help but details are crucial.

Me personally would say reflash your recovery, and if your using smelkus, don't use the super wipe, and instead manually wipe each thing more than once. Now others will post that super wipe works perfectly for them. But all evo's are different, and may require different techniques to get the best result.

First search your problem and try everything possible to fix it yourself.

If you can't fix it, Provide every detail you can think of when posting about said problem.

Flashed it in another evo i picked up yesterday for helping a mate out..

I had to do a complete tear down of the phone and rip the screen off it to clean it.. His wife had dropped it thus a crack near the volume buttons.. Plus hanging out in the bottom if her handbag without a cover on it.. Had all sorts of crap and hair under it, lucky no scratches and cleaned up like new..

A very lucky little lass is going to get it for xmas, as i am heading out to a small island called Biri island off Samar in the Philippines.. For a few weeks of surfing and diving.. :)

Anyway did as usual, loaded the right recovery on to it.. Full wipes, did ext4 to the 16g sdcard, loaded it up, and now like a sparkling new phone..

I am going to pickup a S3 lte in philos while I am there.. Going to miss this little gem.. Its been good to me..
[EVO 4G Android Development] Mark_Hardware:
First of all, let me say, I love this! I tried it on a whime and couldn't be happier... Two years with a phone and it's like brand new, who would have though??

Right now I tried it again and it simply says "command not found"

any suggestions? Thanks

Your battery may be dying. Its common for a phone that is nearly 3 years old.
[EVO 4G Android Development] YouThere:
Thank you for the response. Would there be any other possibilities?

Lastly, I don't like how the system instantly closes apps as I exit them or they are unused for a while. When I was on CM7, the task manager was a bit more relaxed. Is there a way around this?
[EVO 4G Android Development] MBQ_:
Buy a new battery (theyre way cheap on Amazon), flash the ROM again (CLEAN FLASH), make sure youre using the latest correct Mason kernel, and let your phone settle for at least 15 minutes prior to touching your phone after it gets to the Setup Wizard.

I actually think papa had this baked into the ROM. I remember seeing a setting in the developer settings about closing apps on exit. I can't remember exactly.
