[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jlmancuso:
CyanMobile Settings

Well I am sure most of yall can figure out the normal settings so I will leave those out of this guide (unless I get requests for them).

I am going to start at the beginning and work my way through the settings. Some things might cover what has been posted in OP #1 but doing it this way will be easier for me. Also it should help to server as a better map for yall. I am taking pics as I am writing this so for now you will just see an insert message till I get them uploaded.

1. CyanMobile settings

2. First up is the Application tab

A. There are four listings here as shown above.

1. Allow application moving -- this must be enabled to use the built in a2sd program

2. Install location

a. Automatic -- system decides where to place apps

b. Internal -- this places apps on your /data partition

c. External -- this places apps in your .android_secure folder on your main sd partition (not a good option, will reboot when connecting mass storage.

d. SD-Ext -- this places apps on your sd-ext partition (best choice)

B. Use internal storage (this option is not for use and is grayed out)

C. Permission management -- this gives you the option to revoke or grant permission on a app by app basis

3. Calls tab

A. Smart phone call -- cool feature allows you to automatically dial a number when phone is placed near your ear (open contact, message or put number in dialer then put phone to your head and it dials)

B. Back button end call -- on by default

C. Menu button answers calls -- on by default

D. Allow Incall UI touch -- off by default -- selecting turns off options B + C (but you can enable them and have the option to use buttons or the UI) -- if you unselect this option it will automatically turn on options B + C (that way you will never be left without a way to answer calls)

E. Loop ringtone -- loops ringtone until call is answered or goes to voicemail (if not selected a short ringtone will only play once then stop)

F. Call Me Louder -- uses proximity sensor an will increase call volume when phone is inside pocket/bag/etc. (battery draining feature)

G. Vibrate during calls

H. Flip down to mute ringer -- battery draining feature

I. Flip down to snooze alarm -- battery draining feature

4. CPU settings tab

A. Current CPU frequency

B. Available governors -- changes governor

C. I/O scheduler -- changes I/O scheduler

D. Min CPU frequency -- allows you to set the lowest frequency the governor can use

E. Max CPU frequency -- allows you to set the highest frequency the governor can use

F. Max screen off CPU frequency -- limits screen off frequency -- if governor uses screen off freq then the lowest setting of the two will be used

G. Set on boot -- will restore setting after reboot/restart (only select after testing above settings -- that way you don't get stuck in boot loop due to too high/low cpu settings)

5. Display tab

A. Automatic backlight

1. Enable

3. Reset threshold

4. Sample interval

3. Long-press search key

4. Custom application

C. Vibrate on shutdown

D. Volume rocker wake -- use volume keys to wake phone

E. Volume button music control -- long press vol+ to skip forward, vol- to restart/skip back (D and E can be enabled at same time so use care or you will wake the phone instead of changing tracks)

F. Camera button music control -- can be enabled but since we have no camera button it does nothing
