Does anyone have a link to a guide for using apps2sd in this Rom. Cannot seem to be able to get it working from DC config, does not seem to partition SD drive. Any help would be appreciated.

Sent from Ye olde Evo
[EVO 4G Android Development] Fixter:
I've never used it. But wait for Treve, he'll explain it to you.
[EVO 4G Android Development] smw6180:
You have to boot into recovery, then manually repartition your SD card. Warning: This will completely ERASE your SD card so back it up first.

Once that's done, reboot. If you've already configured dconfig to do a2sd it will be automatic. If not, configure dconfig, then reboot.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Fixter:
Any benefit on using App2SD?
[EVO 4G Android Development] smw6180:
Not really, on Evo. Unless you have like a thousand apps, you're not going to use most of the partition anyhow. I turned it off coming from the hero (repartitioned my SD card before moving to the Evo) because there just isn't any real point.

Edit: Or unless you're using a really bloated ROM whose dev puts everything in /data (which doesn't describe any ROM I've seen since getting my Evo).
[EVO 4G Android Development] Fixter:
Right now I have like 80 apps. Doesn't this slow down the phone?
[EVO 4G Android Development] smw6180:
You tell me. I'm running 73 or so and I haven't seen any issues. Might be different for you.

Actually it's technically slower to put apps on the SD card. SD speeds are usually slower than internal RAM which means that loading an app can take a fraction of a second longer, depending on the type of SD card. Most people won't notice a difference, but if it's absolute speed you're looking for I'd advise not using a2sd.

I used it on the hero due to space considerations. I don't have those issues on the Evo (at this point).
[EVO 4G Android Development] TrevE:
nah. I did a test extracting rom.zip from ruu, unyaffs2 the system.img and compared to OTA odex files i started with. I came out identical. also boot.img and wimax.img are the same.

theres a post around here somewhere (if itwasnt deleted again) calkuinins OTA and the RUU have exactly the same CRC's on the system dump. They listed out a file by file comparison.

DC was missing a few symlinks to toolbox that really dont matter but ill be adding them in next build to be proper. thats all that really came from it...

*edit* http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=717310

As far as a2sd you guys got the jist of it. Format card in recovery, just use ext2 to size of the ammount of apps youll be installing, then the rest fat32 (or ext3 if your paranoid about your data, swap can be set to 0, i doubt youll need it). turn on move apps in dconfig and it should do the rest.

I really hope your not filling up evo memory though, do you _really_ use al lthose apps?

Anyone having issues connecting to wifi with this update? I checked DC config and wireless N isn't checked. Wifi was working prior to updating, and now i just get disconnected all the time. Searched the thread and didn't see anything??
[EVO 4G Android Development] Fixter:
I just went ahead and deleted unwanted apps. When can we expect the new update though Treve?
[EVO 4G Android Development] TrevE:
im compiling a new dconfig right now. *spolier* i made changes to battery saver to be even more battery saving :) didnt load back profile properly though. thats been fixed and an update is going out to testers as we speak. no other bugs were found so far though, so "soon" id say?

I'm going on my 20th hour with regular usage - Seido 1750 extend battery - DC 3.2.2.1 - Live wallpaper, bluetooth, GPS, and 3G all going constantly.

Hawt lyke fyre!
[EVO 4G Android Development] TrevE:
ooo snap, havent seen those batterys yet, had a mullagan on my hero that was pretty good.

do they fit with the same back door?

that was a symptom of an older theme koni had, its been fixed since though. could you possibly have loaded an old one?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Cordy:
I saw some at the Sprint Store the other day. They are meant for the Hero but as you know the Evo uses the same battery. And yes it's the same size as stock so the stock cover fits.
[EVO 4G Android Development] TrevE:
i actually did not know they were thes ame haha, been too busy with DC to pay attention to hardware. guess i shoudl have read a bit more before i sold mullagin with the hero :P
[EVO 4G Android Development] ttieder:
Treve I think that might of been it thank you for quick answer
[EVO 4G Android Development] TrevE:
np man, you can either reflash dc or take HTCAlbums.apk out of the zip file form /system/app/ and adb push it back. or just wait for new build then flash right skin

Yep, the 1750 is the same size as the stock 1500.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Nondescript Van:
I apologize if this has been asked and resolved but it is a long thread and while i read parts i did not read all. My phone is showing the sync icon constantly in the status bar. It probably is killing my battery but i'm not sure right now since i was having crappy battery life before this so i just wiped the battery stats and am currently in the draining state of the process.

I'm thinking this may be a problem since it doesn't go away even when i turn off sync for everything. The accounts and settings show that nothing is being sync'd but the icon is still there. Here's a screenshot of it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ghoover1978:
Kernel source for EVO has been released!!!

developer.htc.com/
[EVO 4G Android Development] TrevE:
yeah im grabbing source now :) cant wait to play.

for now you all can play with this - DC 3.2.3

http://www.4shared.com/file/0Qsusd3V/DamageControlv323_deodexed.html

=-o

not all the changes i wanted made there way into this but a good chunk did. next buidl will be even more impressive as usual. changelog up on first page :)

damnit i was just about to go to sleep!
[EVO 4G Android Development] dpilcher:
Can this download take any longer....sleep sounded good...that is until I checked one last time!!!

Looking good as usual...great job

68.8 on first powertop...nice

Multi touch this beotch...omg

Flash of Koni Clear flawless w/o wipe
[EVO 4G Android Development] TrevE:
:) check out renice option, it seems to make a pretty nice decrease in message/phone ring delay for me and my testers. Im sure it helps a bit not swapping this out and having to pull it out of swap every time its used too.

im also pretty happy with the 3d gallery, the multitouch on the main picture layout screen is pretty cool i think, and the working camera @8mp is always a plus.

posting from new wifitether, pretty cool stuff. hope you all like it as much as i am.

also i was able to get powertop results down a bit more, check it out, let me know how it works out.

Going up on damages server now for dcupdater, an hour left...

I had the same problem with wifi not able to start after updating to 3.2.2.1.

I went to dcconfig and unchecked the Wireless N, saved, then rebooted the phone and now I get 6-10mb down and 3-4 mb up on wifi.

Hope that helps!
[EVO 4G Android Development] Emrys_90:
Something I don't understand, isn't the only benefit to releasing the Kernel for phones for the rooted community? If so, why would HTC release their Kernel sources but yet also patch the exploits that allow us to root in the first place?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Nondescript Van:
I think it's part of the GPL or andriod agreement or something that they legally have to release the source.

also, ignore my problem above, i'm updating to the newest release, i'll see if that helps.
[EVO 4G Android Development] TrevE:
they have to release source. they modify GPL'ed code so it becomes a legal issue if they dont.

looks like its froyo time soon guys :D
[EVO 4G Android Development] SouL Shadow:
Probably not the best place to ask, but I'm interested in getting in to android app and Rom dev, but I'm having a hard time finding any good info. All my searches about rom dev come up with results about existing roms. The android developer site is big and hard to just jump into. I'm still new to android, infact the evo is my first "smart phone", but I've been using Linux (slackware) since the mid 90's and know c/c++ and learned java waaaaay back. (like when 1.1 was still new)

I'd like to contribute to the community and hopefully even this rom. Does anyone have any links and/or tips that could help me get started? Maybe even some sample code to look at? And any information on the technical/inner workings of android, especially the Evo, would be great!

Don't need anyone to hold my hand, just some pointers in the right direction. Unfortunately my free time is limited and the less time spent searching means more time learning and developing.

Love this Rom and would really like to help make it the absolute best.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Emrys_90:
Oh, that makes sense. Are you turning this ROM into a FroYo one? I'm assuming if that's a yes it will be without the SenseUI?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Jykinturah:

I share my findings with you. :D
[EVO 4G Android Development] TrevE:
Heres my 9000 ft overview - all android apps are java (ugh), best place if you awnt to learn about app dev is to grab a copy of eclipse, download the android sdk and sample code and start pluggin around.

alot of the stuff we have been tweasking/modding is in shell scritping, /system/bin/a2sd in this rom is the stuff ive been doing, if your familiar with *nix some of that should look familiar.

Reverse engineering apps is fun too, google around for baksmali and apktool, i believe avabox has alot of that stuff in it.

also the source was jsut released, if ya wanna get reall yinto the nitty gritty and builidng kernels and the such play with that. once again its not much different than actual *nix.

google is your friend, theres tonsa info out there especially being an open platform. were always welcome to incorporating new stuff so when you become an android pro make sure to hit us up :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] seriousblack25:
from the latest to 3.2.3 do we have to wipe then flash??? or can we just flash over???
[EVO 4G Android Development] TrevE:
well i doubt dc will be entirely froyo we like to keep things stable and give people choice but maybe well make another branch (DC4?) weve already started playing with some stuff internally :D

you should be able to flash right over from any dc roms. If not then you win a wipe.

nandroid.
[EVO 4G Android Development] seriousblack25:
Asss lol i just got everything perfect just the way i like it:D
[EVO 4G Android Development] TrevE:
ahh you love it :P

next version of dconfig will (mostlikely) include support for custom bannedapp configs. If you remove the same stuff each time you should be able to make your own file outside of the dconfig options and on upgrade itll whack the crap you dont like bringing you back to your setup instantly.

we got a buncha cool stuff up our sleeves waiting to be put out, (mostlikely right after you get everything perfect again) so keep posted :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] M@XLOL:
updated w/ no wipe flawless.

flashed kon's new theme w/ no wipe. also flawless. thanks guys.
[EVO 4G Android Development] seriousblack25:
oh yeah im a keep my eye on that...also when are you gonna put the new rom in the DCUpdater? my CPu is sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo slow it nearly took an hour just to DL 170mb from the last rom lol i miss my old internet provider :(
[EVO 4G Android Development] Emrys_90:
Just use your phone's web browser, or tether your phones internet connection.
[EVO 4G Android Development] TrevE:
yeah its going up - 20 minutes left. Im also on horrid slow dsl

awesome, great to hear. enjyo the new features :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] SouL Shadow:
Thanks will look into that. Kernel hacking was never my thing, other than your basic config and compile. I don't have a Windows box, so I need to find Linux apps to use. Can't seem to get adb on my Linux box to find my evo either. I'll look into the shell scripts you mentioned. And I already have some ideas for apps that would make dc really stand out!
[EVO 4G Android Development] Emrys_90:
I'd have no problems with switching to a FroYo version of your ROM even if it's without Sense since I started using Launcher Pro anyways. But theres two things I like of Sense that I couldn't go without, I like the black status bar and how the notification drop-down list looks, I hate the white stock version. And I like the Facebook sync for contacts that does pictures and birthdays and all.

Is there anyway you could integrate these or have them as flashable patches or something?
[EVO 4G Android Development] M@XLOL:
Thank you. Multi-touch in the gallery just gave me a boner
[EVO 4G Android Development] TrevE:

Really went easy? Does 4g everything still work match up? I am so excited waiting for this stupid 90 second thing to finish so I can download and install. I always do a full wipe. I find that best and probably why I dont have as many bugs as most.. lol

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA right after we all get done setting back up. I love it

This might be a really stupid question but I couldnt find anything about it with a google.

Anyhow. Would the market app named MinFreemanager be of any use with your tweaks treve?
[EVO 4G Android Development] linflas:
Treve, just an FYI attempted to update through dcupdater downloaded fine, reboot fine when prompted to, then up popped a green Android with a triangle with an exclamation point in it. I had to move the file out of the updates folder and flash manually through recovery to get it to work. Just me? Or glitch in updater?

Something I just noticed, the long key press in the new ROM isn't working for me. Can anyone else confirm?
[EVO 4G Android Development] smw6180:
While doing what exactly? Long press home is bringing up the task switcher, for example, so that's working.

What exactly are you doing that it isn't working?
[EVO 4G Android Development] smw6180:
Ok, I installed 3.2.3 and it seems fine. However I noticed one issue (I didn't bug report it because I don't think it's DC related. I think it's related to the base Sprint ota/ruu stuff.

This is can be reproduced as follows:

Boot phone. Start up 4g. 4g connects gets ip, everything's good.

shut down 4g.

Try to start wifi. 'unable to start wifi'.

Reboot phone.

Start wifi.

Wifi starts fine

shut down wifi

try to start 4g. 4g gets to 'obtaining ip address from sprint' and hangs there forever.

It seems that if you start one, the other isn't going to work without a reboot. Odd and annoying, but not anything I can't live with. Both wifi and 4g actually WORK, it's just that it requires a reboot to switch between them.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jwischka:
I'm experiencing this issue on 3.2.2.1, so I don't think it's a new bug.
[EVO 4G Android Development] smw6180:
Yep. I didn't notice it on the last ROM (which doesn't mean it wasn't happening), but I thought I'd mention it since I DID notice it on this one. As I said in my op, I don't believe it's DC related.

[EVO 4G Android Development] Fixter:
Im pretty sure the problem was Wiping Cache.
[EVO 4G Android Development] DeMiNe0:
Apk files have respective odexes that devs use to supposedly save space. Deodexing means you convert it back to a .dex file and put it back inside the apk. This allows you to easily replace files (not having to worry about odexes). Sprint odexes make the device boot faster at first boot, and it saves space on the phone. But those are really the only benefits. This allows hackers to hack certain files on the device to function in a different way or to make improvements on other files that you normally wouldn't be able to make.
