What I do when I get the boot loop is just format my ext3, wipe and reflash and it usually works. One time I had to do that process 3 times in a row and I got the rom to work which is the QTek 1.6 I'm using now though I'm thinking about jumping back over to Evil's again. I just can't wait til these great cooks take cyanogen's donut and throw it in and it would be amazing.

wifi tether freezes my phone

evil, whenever I run wifi tether and press to stop tethering, my phone would freeze, I have to take out battery. rebooted again but same thing happens...i have a class 6 sd card 96swap file, mt3g. this has never happen to the 2.6x version. please help
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] eViL D::
I'll take a look. Thanks.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] zeroplace:
eViL.... Love the ROM but Im having an issue of it going to the loading screen, then the HTC screen after I do anything outside of the home screen. Any direction on what Im doing wrong or not doing?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Reignzone:
Suggestions.

If I may:

For version 2.7xx (or 2.8) -

* Transparent notification tray. (JAC's...not the OPhone version like Twisted's.)

* Add Plurk social network, including the widget.

* Implement EXT4 support.

* Add standard lock screen w/ throttle bar. (The one now is ugly.) No offense!

* Remove WAP browser. (It's a resource hog.)

* Add AUTO-A2SD. (Don't be so worried about your G1 audience.)

* Implement the latest BFS-222 into the kernel. (Cyanogen's kernel is great!)

Other than that, it's looking solid. Big up's to Modaco. He has the illest build right now! Good work though Evil.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] StreetGuru:
eViL, What about that tattoo dump out there? Wanna give it a go? Please? I'm still stuck on your 2.6 build, after almost a week still working brilliantly! Looking forward for the Tattoo update!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Johnny Blaze:
Sounds like your swap is not configured properly.

Search forum for parted. This will tell you how to use parted to resize or reformat sd. Set it up with the following... you can do how you like but this works for me...ext2 512mb linux swap 96mb

Once done wipe and reinstall the 2.7x rom. Will take a bit to load....just wait for it..

Wait some more...

When all done just skip through all the setup most will be a bit slow still. open swapper

hit menu the configuration and set it to use swap partition. Set swappiness between 40 and 60. 40 works great for some 60 works for me. then hit the on button in the program. It will fail to remove partion etc just wait until its finished, will take a minute. once done reboot and you should neve see a loading screen again until you install the next evilhero which wil come out soon i hope with some donut code.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] wicked_beav:
If I'm not mistaken as well, you need to go into advanced and switch it to use swap partition, by default it is swap file.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, that's the way I've been told.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] x1tyme:
Is there a user.conf??? or i have to use swapper app??

Keyboard Not working

eViL,

I need help with the keyboard some ROMS I load won't bring up the keyboard. I have formatted my card 7fat32, 1g EXt3, the rest to the linux-swap. Done a wipe and still having the same issues even did a clean ROM Set-up

Code:

adb shell

cd data

cd app_s

rm *.*

reboot5) Press immediately HOME+POWER before the splash screen

6) Do a Nice Wipe Data

7) Apply sdcard:update.zip

What am I doing wrong?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Merlinux:
Any ideas how to get HTC Sync working?? I've tried to push PCSCII.adk and PCSCII.odex from another ROM to /data/app_s but when i rebooted i got stuck in a loop. Has anybody else got this working, it would really be appreciated :confused:
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] eViL D::
You need to format your ext, rm *.* does not completely do this. Read the first post for tips or search the Android forums.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] eViL D::
I will take a look today.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] eViL D::
No, I removed the user.conf. if you need more swappiness, use swapper.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ^iCemaN:
I have issue with sms and email notifications...they don't sound when you receive a msg. after a while...you have to restart to get them to sound...Why oh Why???
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Jim_DiGriz:
I finally got it working: I took the PCSCII.apk from Drizzy's Hero-V1.4r1 and istalled it via adb install pcsii.apk and it's working.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] bno54:
I'm having the same issue but am a bit nervous about using the 'parted' method since i'm not too sure what I should be using for a 4gig card and a MT3G which i've never used terminal with.

Question is, would setting up swapper alone be enough to fix the issue? It doesn't happen often, just some of the time.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] eViL D::
2.7xx is now online. Sync should be fixed.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] eViL D::
Not sure, do you personally select the sounds or do you leave them default?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] eViL D::
I was testing this, but it is now online.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] eViL D::
If you already have your 3 partitions, swapper will work fine. But, if you don't, go to the first post and read about Ubuntu.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] csoto09:
Where's the 2.7xx link?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] KROMO50:
same 2.7xx link?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] M3TR1C:
Just finished loading 2.7x right as 2.7xx came available...Its stable though no blurry screen which is good. I am a bit sad though cause its kind of a bit sluggish but runs smooth. I like. Keep up the good work.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] eViL D::
Same name, but different link.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] eViL D::
Which version is sluggish to you? Did you format your ext with Ubuntu?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] M3TR1C:
All i did was use the 1 click root method using recovery-RAv1.2.1G on theunlockr.com and followed his instructions on adding roms by just formating the card with fat32+ext2+swap then adding the rom as update. Guessing this is the step that was wrong?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] eViL D::
Always format your ext before flashing. 9 times out of 10, you will have problems if you do not.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] eViL D::
BTW, anyone have an unmolested myTouch 3G build.prop?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] M3TR1C:
Alright so now that i have the Hero theme on here should i just reformat the card to ext 3 using ubuntu then?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] M3TR1C:
So what i should do is format the card to ext3 instead of fat32+ext2+swap add the ROM and rename it to update.zip. Go to recovery mode, wipe phone and then run the update.zip?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] eViL D::
Theme? I don't support themes.

You NEED 3 partitions, 1 with fat32, 1 with ext 2/3/4 AND Linux swap. The first post in the thread WALKS you through this.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] tazz9690:
to delete your ext3 partition just use adb

adb remount

adb shell

rm -r system/*

reboot recovery

then just wipe and apply your update.zip. it works for me
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] tazz9690:
2.7xx is not working for me. I am getting an HTC load screen whenever I exit out of any app, be it ones I downloaded or ones that came with the rom. If I mount my phone to the computer or go into my settings, I get the load screen as well. I have swapper set up like I always have and I wiped my ext3, just like always as well. I will be reverting back to your previous version, as that one gave me no problems, whatsoever. Hope you fix it soon Evil. Thanks for all your hard work.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] bufodill:
unfortunatly have to agree with taz over me, haven't used a hero rom in a long time that gives me htc reload screens every time I've been into an app :/
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] queroantonio:
Working even better than last qtek... Great Job! Now im trying to make ad2p works...
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Merlinux:
Just curious, when i "adb shell" into the phone now, and do an "ls", the names of files and folders show up with some funny text and symbols before and after... like this:

Any reasons why??

(using SDK 1.5r3)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] robotician:
Which terminal emulator do you use?

It looks like that your terminal emulator can not display some of control characters.

Please check your terminal emulator settings or change another one.

Good luck
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Merlinux:
When I use a terminal emulator on the phone its fine.

Just when I use Android SDK 1.5r3 adb.exe from the tools directory in a command prompt (Windows) and login to the phone, thats what I get.

Doesn't happen with other roms.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] robotician:
I apologize, I don't use windows. I'm sorry.

But eViL D's rom uses ansi color control code in terminal, so you can see which is directory, file and simbolic links etc if you use some other OS.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] robotician:
Wallpaper?

@eViL D

I flashed your eViL HeRo 2.7xx, and it worked great and very smoothly.

But, there is some weird things about wallpaper:(.

As I tried to change wallpaper from my Album, it won't changed.

After I selected one of my photos, the 'HTC' screen showed up and the old wallpaper was still there.

If I selected from wallpaper gallery, it changed.:eek:

After I flash once more, I'll post again.

Thanks for your hard work.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] eViL D::
If you are getting loading screens, make sure you are using external partition. Also, increase the swappiness until it stops. check info in swapper to ensure the swappiness.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] eViL D::
Interesting, let me know. I haven't tried a personal wallpaper, only the ones in the backgrounds app and it works fine.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] robotician:
Resolution?

Reflashed but same as before.

One thing I have learned is low resolution image was able to set as wall paper.

I had tried to do with 3 different resolutions which are 320x480, 1920x1200 and 3072x2304. Among those, 320x480 was able to set, but the others were not. All of them was able to set as wall paper for your previous ROM.:eek:
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] MrDva:
I tried 2.7x and 2.7xx (2.7xx was reposted right after I got 2.7x on.

Bluetooth obviously doesn't work, it's a game breaker for me. Still waiting till this is working on the Hero ROMS.

I'm running a 8GB Adata Class 6 card, with Fat32, 1GB ext3, 96 Swap. I formatted in Ubuntu.

I wiped data before flash.

I ran 'adb shell sh system/bin/userinit.sh -s' after the install. It completed.

(it would be nice to see what the expected output was supposed to be, since there was alot of output from this command and it was not clear what was 'expected' and what was not).

Ultimately, it looks like good work but was terribly slow.

Went back to 'The Official' TMO build for now, I'll keep checking back I really want to run a Hero ROM as my main build.

I appreciate the work so far. :)

Thanks

Annoying!!! Help

Ok hello everyone im new to this game so heres a couple questions i have the flash recovery root thing that theunlockr said to get and i flashed evils rom reccomended by theunlockr everythig seems to be in good working order the flash recovery thing has an option the format fat32/ext2/swap so i did it it also has an option to convert to ext3 i dont know the differance between the two should i do it and why, question 2 now that i got everything going the stupid HTC screen pops up everytime i press the home button and takes like 40 seconds to finishdoing what its doing....so what is it doing why is it there so much. lastly i got the evil app pack but when i try to use linda to install the file with the package installer it says this application cannot be installed on this phone am i doing something wrong im trying mainly t oinstall swapper so i can change the swap size and swappyness i guess please help i got 4 hours till work :(
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ^iCemaN:
I personally select sound...i will just reformat my sd and do a clean install of 2.7xx...see if that fixes things...
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] MurderDeathKill:
Tried it out, although nice. It was very slow.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Merlinux:
Yeh its slow UNTIL you set up the swap file (i use 96mb size and swappiness set to 60). Then it's lightning :)

Generally seems to be the case with most of the hero roms.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] BigRD:
I found this to be the slowest ROM yet. I was using Linux Swap as I just could not get Compache to start and kept getting an error no matter what I changed in the user.conf

Downside

20secs past before the ringing would start on an incoming call

HTC loading or loading after exiting most apps could take 60 secs or more

Lost sms messages again

Bluex can't get root access to start bluetooth file server

Upside

Looks great and heading the right way

Full Exchange Sync - fab

HTC widgets all good
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] _Belial:
How do I setup the swapfile? I find it a nice rom, but like the above, very slow indeed, got a class6 card, setup ext/swap partitions from the recovery img, but rom seems slow. Is there another setting i need to change to actually use the swap?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] eViL D::
2.8 is now online.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] eViL D::
Download and install the app pack in the first post, use swapper and configure it to your liking.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] eViL D::
That's strange.... I was able to set a photo I had taken earlier. It does look like it crops it though.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] eViL D::
Are you formatting and wiping before flashing?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] eViL D::
I guess i'll need to throw Swapper back in by default to help those out with "slow" issues.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] eViL D::
If you don't know, then you probably don't. Use Ubuntu.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] eViL D::
Use the .bat file that came with the app pack. Copy the app folder to C: and then run.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] skimz:
Hey Evil,

Just want to say that I loaded the 2.7xx last night and it by far the quickest and most responsive I have ever seen hero at. I did try the new drizzy 1.5r and it doesn't even come close to yours man. However, I just saw you added 2.8 just today and I just might try it but I'm very happy with 2.7xx by far :)

I was hoping if by any chance you can make the lockscreen on your next build a full screen so the time/date won't be blocking the picture so much. Nothing big, just my 2 cents. Thanks again Evil...keeps on getting better man! :D
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] finalgear:
HOLEY FU**IN SH*T this rom is slloooooowwwwww everytime i come out of an app it goes to the HTC screen the the home screen and loads for like 30 seconds i have my swap at 96mb and swappiness at 60 iam on a 4gb class 4 card so what is going on?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ^iCemaN:
You need a class 6 card...use taskiller but exclude touchflo when killing apps
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] FenderGuy:
I think I have2.6xx, been out of town, has the BT been fixed? I'm happy with the rom now and hate redoing everything like my mail and apps...
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] skimz:
I would always recommend a clean wipe every time you load a new rom for the best results. I got a 8gb class 2 and it is smooth. Also partition your sdcard.

I can't imagine what it'll be like when I get my class 6 card. :D
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] mt3g:
Every time you go to a new rom I would suggest a wipe reformat the sd card to fat 32 and repartition only takes like 5 minutes and then load the rom onto your sd card via card reader and flash. You shouldn't have any load screens on any build with that kinda swap, and swappiness, I dont and I only have a class 2, til hopefully wednesday :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Lumsdoni:
My brain is hurting with so many different ROMS etc and learning it all at a rate of knots.

Can someone clarify a few points as I have just flashed 2.8.

Does this automatically download apps from market to SD card ext partition?

On a mac, how do I install apps from the EVIL app pack to SD card like Swapper etc.

Can swapper be installed on SD card or should that go in main memory.

I have class 6 8GB sd formated FAT32, 1gb EXT4, 96MB linux SWAP.

It does seem fast this, even compared to 2.65, but I just want to add in some other apps.

Finally, the line in first post about

adb shell sh system/bin/userinit.sh -s

Gave me the error sh: can't open 'system/bin/userinit.sh'

Am using Cyanogen 1.4 recovery.

MANY MANY MANY thanks

Where are the alarm tones stored? I'd like to add my own and just adding music as a ringtone doesn't seem to work as it did in my previous roms, TIA

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] eViL D::
A2DP should work, but not for phone calls.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ^iCemaN:
I just flashed 2.8 a few hours ago and used swapper at 60. I had to do a clean flash by re-formatting and repartitioning my sd. Now it works like a charm with no loading screen and almost no lag thanks to taskiller as well...Class 6 SD really helps with the speed!!! I got a transcend 8 gb class 6 for only 16 bucks on amazon...worth it!!!!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] crxtasi:
Just make a directory on your sd card named media, make one in there called audio, and then you can make ringtones - alarms- and notifications, so it would be like this

/sdcard/media/audio/alarms

/sdcard/media/audio/notifications

/sdcard/media/audio/ringtones

put your audio/mp3s to their respective folders and you should be good to go

hope this helps:D
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] StreetGuru:
Just flashed 2.8 and this one is a keeper. Haven't had a problem so far and it is as fast as any shipped, i mean, it terms of speed it is impossible to get any better then this! There is the delay in incoming calls but i can live with it - just got to educate people that it takes a bit to answer. Otherwise a brilliant rom eViL, you did it again! This is the best Hero rom I've tried since you're 2.6 build and i love how it comes without the apps pre installed. Way better then any of the 2.7 build!

One doubt: after the apps are installed and i run the adb shell sh system/bin/userinit.sh -s, if i install other apps afterwards i should run the command again or it should be done only once?

thanks for a brilliant build once again!

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Reignzone:
Suggestions.

Evil, 2.8 is absolutely the BEST Hero build I've tried since MoDaCo 2.2!

Seriously, I bow down to this excellence. It's damn near flawless. Not to mention, you continue to make this ROM feature-rich...which is hard to come by amongst most other developers.

Here are a few ideas I had for "2.8x" -

* EXT 4 support

* Standard lock screen w/ throttle bar.

* Enable boot screen audio by default.

* Implement Cyanogen's latest BFS upgrades. (BFS-230)

* AudioHack v7.0r2

* All the wallpapers to prevent force close issues.

* HTC Smart Mobility screen AFTER final boot image.

Thanks for all of your hard work.

Donations are considered. :D
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] slackwaresupport:

Transparent notification bar.

Could you please use the JAC/CC transparent notification bar, as it is textured.

The one you have on 2.8 is simply clear, it makes the tray itself look non-existent. Very strange.

A textured and transparent notification bar would be fantastic. Thanks.
