K, didn't flash GASPPS yet. Which version of A2SD are you using? I have 2.7.5.3Beta4

That may not be the right version for a JB ROM

Also, I have 21220726 GAPPSand 121212 GAPPS. Which one should I flash before I try the 10/11/12
[EVO 4G Android Development] bilgerryan:
Don't use 12/12/12 those are 4.2... use these if you are having trouble http://goo.im/gapps/gapps-jb-20121011-signed.zip
[EVO 4G Android Development] bilgerryan:
I never got word if Netflix was working on any of my JB ROMs here. I had it working on the Shift on JellyBelly v5 and up. You could always use Shifty Bastard (it's the ICS version of this ROM. Different launcher but a solid ROM with only 4G missing)
[EVO 4G Android Development] HipKat:
GB was the last time Netflix was working on the EVO.

Trying to Boot up now, after flashing just the ROM.

Did you see my question about A2SD Version?
[EVO 4G Android Development] CRIME INC.:
Use this a2sd zip. Flash ROM, then a2sd, then gappshttps://www.box.com/shared/99pckzliwyqeqqoh2zym

Thanks! It's booted now after just the ROM, so, so far so good. I've had some issues tonight with this phone, which is why I'm flashing a new ROM in the first place

[EVO 4G Android Development] hondafreak513:
Hahaha you've been spoofed.. its rgs new rom..
[EVO 4G Android Development] HipKat:
That's the odd thing, I've had 2GB EXT before, no probs, and I still have it now with no prob.

What Kernel are you guys running with this? I didn't even look to see what's in it yet, tbh
[EVO 4G Android Development] hondafreak513:
Should be the blackdome... if not get it then. Best one out for jb.
[EVO 4G Android Development] bilgerryan:
CM10 kernel is included but I have been told MazWoz and Mason kernels both work.
[EVO 4G Android Development] bilgerryan:
I was told that caused bootloops on CM10

Edit: I guess the newest version works
[EVO 4G Android Development] bilgerryan:
I gotta talk to him about doing that, I know it's just in the build.prop but I couldn't get it to boot when I tried.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jlmancuso:
Yeah hipkat I have used up to 4 gb ext on mine without issues. Currently I have a 512 cache, 1.4 ext2 on a class 10th 16 gig card.
[EVO 4G Android Development] hondafreak513:
I've been running his kernel on all jb ROMs and haven't had a problem since his newest upgrade.. oh and I just did a nand restore back to this bad boy.. this theme kicks a$$...

[EVO 4G Android Development] bilgerryan:
This ROM its based on JellyBelly Omega so search the thread there if you are having installation or A2SD problems, I'm pretty sure most of those issues have been addressed in that thread.:)
[EVO 4G Android Development] bilgerryan:
BTW what do you guys think of my Audio Mod?
[EVO 4G Android Development] hondafreak513:
Saaaaweet....
[EVO 4G Android Development] HipKat:
I got it working. I forgot to run a2sd install after first b oot and all my apps/data were being restored to internal, but I'm good now. Still updating everything, etc, but I'll get to really playing with it in a bit.

One thing I REALLY like is that I'm not getting the process error warning after every app update like I had been on the last few ROMS I've run
[EVO 4G Android Development] hondafreak513:
I retract my last statement.. I forgot to update this ROM with the newest blackdome kernel which has more I/O scheduler's and it still runs smooooooth... you should try it out Hip...
[EVO 4G Android Development] HipKat:
I thought I had read that Blackdome was causing bootloops....

I'll do a nandroid after work and give it a flash
[EVO 4G Android Development] bilgerryan:
That was what I was told when it first came out.
[EVO 4G Android Development] hondafreak513:
Yeah it did on his first try but his newest update has no problems.. I use it on every jb ROM I flash and not one bootloop.. tronit has been working his butt off on it. Few of the jb ROMs have it baked in already.

Edit: I just had a reboot into the boot animation screen that wouldn't ho into the home screen. So I did a nand back to the previous version of blackdome.. not sure if that caused it though..
[EVO 4G Android Development] HipKat:
Which actual version are you running?

BTW, this ROM boots up fast as hell. granted I use the Start Up Manager in ROM Toolbox to disable everything I don't actually need from boot up, but still, this is WAY faster than any other ROM I've run
[EVO 4G Android Development] hondafreak513:
Figures.. Lol i just flashed over to mazwoz's 4.2.1 ROM. Tronit just updated the kernel around last week... His new one now has more I/O schedulers...

---------- Post added at 06:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:23 PM ----------

I don't have a copy of the kernel I'm running on this ROM but i can upload a copy of my nand and I'm sure you know how to extract the kernel out of it...
[EVO 4G Android Development] HipKat:
He has both versions in his thread. I'll get this nandroid made up and go from there
[EVO 4G Android Development] hondafreak513:
Those are the newest ones.. I have the one right before that one came out....
[EVO 4G Android Development] HipKat:
Ahh, OK. That's the one that works?? What's the version number? I can get it right from Tronit

Same problem I've been having when I try to open the app. 1-not rooted 2- missing scripts 3- no ext. Found... I am rooted I'm running ext4... so its missing scripts somewhere..
[EVO 4G Android Development] HipKat:
That's on your phone you use now, right? Because I found out the hard way, and posted somewhere, that you HAVE to flash A2SD Right after the ROM, and before GAPPS. Actually, you should reboot after you flash A2SD, and I'm sure you know this, but for anyone else, in Terminal:

Su

a2sd check

a2sd reinstall

Then after the reboot, back to terminal and

su

a2sd zipalign

a2sd cachesd

Then another reboot to recovery, flash GAPPS
[EVO 4G Android Development] CRIME INC.:
I'm going to smack you hondafreak lol. Forget that damn app. the only thing you need to remember is: a2sd cachesd( moves you dalvik cache to your ext) a2sd install and reinstall (self explanatory). That app just takes up space. Just because the app won't launch doesn't mean a2sd isn't working. Want to know a trick that comes in handy if youre a heavy flasher?

[EVO 4G Android Development] bilgerryan:

It keeps saying a2sd not found... I just went into recovery and flashed it and not the beta one either..
[EVO 4G Android Development] HipKat:
The only one I could get to work was 2.7.5.2-1 which I'm guessing you're using. What recovery do you use on that thing?
[EVO 4G Android Development] CRIME INC.:
The last year and a half that I had my evo, not one time did I wipe my SD ext. The reason being that whenever I flashed a new ROM( all the freaking time) all I had to do was flash and run a2sd, and every app I used was automatically installed. Saved me a ton of time and made setting up my new rom that much easier. Never had one issue.

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus
[EVO 4G Android Development] HipKat:
I've seen a lot of people say that, but I haven't tried it yet. Wiping EXT is just a habit, I guess. That just saves, the app, though, correct?? Not data?

I got it to boot with BlackDome TSP_Supersonic KERNEL V2.1r1 02-19-13 from Tronit's thread. He says that's newer than the one you posted here
[EVO 4G Android Development] bilgerryan:
I was planning on including that kernel in JellyBelly when he first came out with it but it caused boot loops... How is the 4.2 on this device? I haven't asked in awhile. I know the Shift just got a fully functional (except 4G) 4.2.2 Evervolv the other day. Cuz the original ROM this is ported from is now 4.2.2 (v1 was 4.2.1)
[EVO 4G Android Development] HipKat:
Way better. I was having a LOT of lag with the stock kernel. Running Blackdome 2.1 with Smartass2 and CoD Tweaks and it's way smoother
[EVO 4G Android Development] bilgerryan:
Yeah, I don't like messing with the kernel when I can't test, real easy to mess stuff up. CoD Tweaks?
[EVO 4G Android Development] hondafreak513:
Mazwoz's 4.2 is really smooth... yeah hip I had the newest one working to just had it reboot into the boot animation and got stuck...
[EVO 4G Android Development] HipKat:
From my guide:

Car-O-Dope

Note: The Menus in ROM Toolbox have changed so look carefully before you start applying these settings. They are all there, just in different orders

This is a really easy tweak in that you don't have to flash anything or run any scripts.

You'll need to download ROM Toolbox and System Tuner.

In ROM Toolbox, click on Performance and then on Auto Memory Manager

Use these Settings:

Foreground Application: 6Mb

Visible Application: 12Mb

Secondary Server: 55Mb

Hidden Application: 70Mb

Content Provider: 85Mb

Empty Application: 100Mb

Click Apply On Boot

Go back, and hit Kernel Tweaks/Sysctl Tweaks, then use these settings:

Min Free Kbytes: 4096

Dirty Ratio: 70

Dirty Background Ratio: 50

VFS Cache Pressure: 10

Make sure Apply On Boot is checked.

Then, open System Tuner

Click Tweaks, the SD Card

Set Cache to 4096 and IO Scheduler to deadline

Click Boot Settings, select Re-apply SD tweak and select init.d script.

Reboot

[EVO 4G Android Development] bilgerryan:
Nice... That should get you thru the day, mine is only 1950mAh but it gets me thru all day at work and charge at dinner, lasts until bed, charge till morning, repeat... with moderate to heavy use (xda is the battery killer lol.. Most of my screen on time)
[EVO 4G Android Development] HipKat:
I have a 3500mAH Sedio, but all the clips on the backing plate have broken over time, so I'm back to a 1750mAH Sedio I had bought some time ago. Notwithstanding, the battery drain is as bad as I've ever seen, but that's not even the worst. I'm getting major lag. My WiFi connection is intermittently slow as molasses and I've had multiple reboots, on both kernels, mind you, from Memory overloads.

It's a great ROM, but it needs some serious optimizing. It's THIS close to me loving it, but I need something more stable. Gonna check out some others, but I'll keep my eyes on this one for sure.
[EVO 4G Android Development] justgonecrazy:
Batteries

I'm running the Anker 1700mah batteries and they last about 8hrs until I have to switch, seeing as my charging port doesn't work anymore. Wife's charging port doesn't work either. Anker gives you 2 batteries for $20 with the charger. Was gonna send our phones out to be fixed but I'm not sure I trust ebay stores. If anyone knows of a good place that fixes them let me know.
[EVO 4G Android Development] hondafreak513:
Try out Maz's 4.2 you will like it.... Yeah my clips are broken and its crack across the back, got electric tape holding the cover onto the phone.... I go through three battery changes a day... thank god for external battery chargers..
[EVO 4G Android Development] HipKat:
I was thinking of that, but I just read he's having sound/media problems...??
[EVO 4G Android Development] hondafreak513:
The only problem I had on that is the text notification sound wasn't working for me... Then there's a FC when someone hangs up before you do but it doesn't affect anything... other than that it's smooth as butter for a 4.2 on these OG's.

I just seen what you was talking about that is just a BT error... I don't use BT so doesn't affect me..
[EVO 4G Android Development] bilgerryan:
That's the problem tho... It's kinda hard for me to optimize on a phone I don't have. I have an E4GT and an EVO Shift, I ported this ROM from the Shift... somebody from over here is welcome to use any of my ROMs over here to do what you want, I give you the best port of the ROM I can without having the device (my way of giving back) and someone over here can step up and tweak it for your device. Just trying to share the EVO Love.
[EVO 4G Android Development] HipKat:
That's an awesome thing, too!! I'll talk to jlmancuso about bringing it on with the other projects on the shelf and see if he or Diablo can take it to the next step. You can see it;s an awesome ROM. Just needs that little bit to get it there
[EVO 4G Android Development] bilgerryan:
Go for it. It's actually a port of my 4.2.1 E4GT ROM downgraded to a 4.1.2 Shift ROM and then ported to the EVO... I'm sure some stuff got messed up throughout that process. I can't do anything beyond getting it to boot lol.:D:beer:

With all the problems I've been having, and it's on every ROM. Lag, slow write and read times, etc, I think maybe my SD Card is just shot.
