[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dreddge:
Running DamageControl 3.2.2. Used quixk boot to boot into recovery and did a nand backup. Upon rebooting the "preparing sd card" message won't go away. Been there for 30 min. Any idea? Is this normal?

Update. When in recovery it sees the zip files on my card...do obviously not a corrupt card. I'll sleep on it an see if its still there in the morning. Sent bug report to damageless.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nenn:
doesnt sound normal, you try rebooting yet?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dreddge:
Yup. And unseating/reseating the card too.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nenn:
you try it in another card reader? or another card in the phone? sorry for the basic support route, but youre not giving me much to go on here, did you get the first OTA update? it addressed issues with the sd card
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dreddge:
Did the first ota update. Laying in bed so haven't tried card reader. It's not the card because recovery sees the .zip files on the card.

OK...on my pc now..card reader reads contents fine.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dreddge:
OK...so apparently it was something with the nandroid folder. I couldnt delete it from my SD card with my card reader. I also couldnt move it. I reformatted my card, to kill the folder, and dropped everything else back on to the card, and rebooted. It was up for about 10 seconds, then went away. Its odd, but Ive never had nandroid do that to me before.

I also have one more problem... when I installed the task bar the speaker icon are missing I tried few things but it seems I cant get installed right.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] kurt-willems:
Please give some more explication:

- WM version?

- Witch task bar did you install?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] negawolf:
Using registry editor application go to HKLM/Software/HTC/VolumeOverlay

And delete the LoadIconFromResDLL and SounIconLink

Don't forget to restart.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] artista06:
WM 6.5 the task i installed DINIK - Anastasia - taskbar v1.1

Im new to this WM phone i barely getting a hang of it i dont know how to go that apps HKLM/Software/HTC/VolumeOverlay
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] negawolf:
All u need is get a free registry editor application. I recommend PHM Regedit. You can search for it on google.

Using the app, go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE and the path I mentioned before. Delete the 2 registry above. Try it, not as hard as it sounds.
[EVO 4G General] sandpa:
My gmail auto sync seems to have stopped working since yesterday. I have tried everything from unchecking/rechecking background data and autosync, clearing gmail/gmail storage data, pulling the battery and then finally doing a hard reset. But for some reason I get gmail only when my phone boots up for the first time or if I do a manual sync. I have no applications installed after the hard reset and I have the latest software update installed.

Can I format the SD card and see if that helps ? I am not certain what the SD card contains and if formatting it will mess anything up.
[EVO 4G General] x0lliex:
I'm having the same problems too, since earlier this week, have not been getting push Gmail with the Gmail app. Every so often an email comes through, but most do not. Very annoying.
[EVO 4G General] sandpa:
I formatted the SD card and the sync seems to be working now. Don't know if it was a coincidence with some google backend push starting to work again. Gonna look at the SD card backup to see if I see anything that would cause this.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] M@XLOL:
I suck at photoshop and this is the best I can do. I'd like to have decent icon for the EVO I can find icons for the nexus and droid but nothing for the evo.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] saf100792:
do i have to use that image or can i make my own?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] M@XLOL:
Whatever you feel like to be honest. I would like to see an icon for the EVO. When I search Nexus/Droids/iPhones :(
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] newone757:
you can easily make an icon from this PSD. just resize to whatever size you want

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] M@XLOL:
looks better then what I did but still stretched and un-natural looking :(
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] saf100792:
Does it stretch when you set it as the icon?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] mikevillarroel:
May be this one does the trick!
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] M@XLOL:
don't see anything
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] esber01:
how do i get my evo to look like that?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] mikevillarroel:
Download the zip, convert the ico to png
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Saturn2K:
It's all a mock-up.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] dvst8_:
Good idea, I think you wanted to make an icon for when you see the EVO in file explorer? If not that's the idea I got out of this and did it.

So when you open file explorer (Windows only) you will see the icon and name of the phone like in the attached picture.

I put the files here for anyone else that might want it.

Unzip the attached zip file to the root (main part of the SD card not in a folder).

There's only two files, one is the .ico file mikevillarroel made (thanks)

the other is a .inf that tells Windows what to show, you can open this in notepad to make sure its safe.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] mikevillarroel:
That's exactly what I'm using, i used to play with autorun with my jumpdrive so i figured this would be the same!
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] M@XLOL:
I unfortunately use a mac :(
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Rydah:
Cheer up. Macs are faster and reliable. Unfortunately they're (the devs who make the apps) aren't.

Also might i suggest, download an app like "SyncMate" kinda like HTC sync for windows. And to get a custom icon, I used "Candy Bar" on my mac.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] M@XLOL:
Look at all these phone icons! Not one for the EVO

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cds36:
Has anyone seen any benefits in using task killers or managers on the Evo? Has it helped or made battery life worse ? Do we even need them with the Evo ?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] os10:
in my experience the phone runs smoother if you keep running tasks to a minimum. i have an app called ES Task Manager and it comes with a widget that has one touch kill all. i hit that and turn off the screen when i'm not going to be messing with the phone for awhile.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] awakener:
I used to use Advanced Task Killer (ATK) and loved it until one day my phone would not work whatsoever. It kept force closing HTC Sense and I had to do a hard reset last week. It was very upsetting and the sprint technician said the task killer was to blame.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] orris:
I agree. I switched from Advanced Task Killer to ES and it's great. Really helps out battery and smoothness. I can get about 12-16 hours per charge when doing that with normal use.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] b1indsided:
What's ES?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jykinturah:
I use Damage Control 3.2.2.1 with its built in killer set at 150 MB with Advanced Settings Part 2 Laptop_OOM activated and JIT. Banned everything except Facebook.

Then I use autostarts to stop programs from starting up at boot, speeding up boot time and using less power.

Credits go to TheBiles.

I can usually get about a day and a half of regular use before I reach 10%.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] topdnbass:
Best tip? Don't use any task killers..

At most use autostarts and thats it.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slag02:
I have become an believer in task killers - I use ES ( search market for: estrongs )

Increased battery life and smoothness, just make sure to not have it kill the HTC processes and you'll be good

Estrongs task manager
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mgraham361:
Task killers are a bad idea on Android. It's best to just let the OS do its own memory management. The only reason to use a task killer is as a last resort for a rogue app or something like that.

There's a thread about this around here with a detailed explanation as to why this is true and how memory management works in Android. I can't copy and paste because I'm sending this from my phone. And I'm lazy.

Autokiller and autostarts are probably the only two apps that make sense to use and this is to enhance management, not override the built in management like task killers do.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] patelkedar91:
Ugh this is why I hate the debate.

Some people say use it... some people say Android's memory management is fine.

My ATK usage is simple. I close programs that I do not use and won't start any FC's.

So basically after I'm done playing a game, I use ATK to close out of it.

I leave most things open unless it's like Sprint Zone or something.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mgraham361:
I decided to be less lazy for once.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] akrod2as:
simply put, if you have any linux experience you'll realize why task killers aren't neccessary like in a windows mobile platform device.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hrshycro:
I use ATK. As far as battery life, I haven't seen an increase or decrease, but the phone runs smoother and sometimes an app gets stuck, so I kill that sob off. ;)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheBiles:
Use Autostarts only. It is a permission manager--not a task-killer.

I tried ATK since the BB Mobile guys were pushing hard for you to install it before you even left the store with the phone. I gave ATK an honest try, and experimented with most of the settings. At the end of the test, I found that ATK didn't really help me. That being said, my battery life is much better now since I moved for the rooted stock image to Fresh 0.3.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sebrina:
Heh, BB Mobile reps always act like they're experts. These guys know less than the average XDA forum reader. They'll have you think otherwise though!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scriptx:
As much as I disliked the idea of not managing my own processes, be it by manually killing them or with some automatic thresholds, after some reading, I decided to let Android handle things as it was designed to do.

To satisfy my itch for being "in control", I downloaded (from the market, for free) an app called MinFreeManager, which allows for you to tweak the parameters for Android's memory management. I also read a suggestion from Flipz to use AutoStarts to better control what apps are starting, and when. AutoStarts basically lists events within Android and allows you to toggle if an app should run or not.

That said, I've noticed my Evo has been very smooth and responsive. I periodically open TaskKiller to see how much available memory there is and to be nosy. The truth is that apps do clean up and are disposed of properly by Android. Give it a shot for a few days. What's the harm?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DraginMagik:
i have Advanced Task Killer free version installed. i was using it actively when i first got my EVO (also my first Android device), but after reading and learning more about it i no longer actively kill everything for funny and giggles.

i do keep the app installed in case i ever do need to kill an app or need to free up almost all resources for whatever reason. i'm a long time windows admin, so removing the "task manager" app is hard to do.

so basically, it sits and does nothing most of the time. kinda like the ShootMe app...only used for very specific purposes.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] itmustbejj:
Cyanogen said task managers are no longer necessary since android 2.1. I have my lowmemkiller on DamageControl set to 50 (helps with JIT stability). I do have ATK free installed but only to kill individual programs that I find are using CPU unnecessarily (using shell commands like powertop and top to find these).

I also use autostarts.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ajd6c8:
For me the proof is in the pudding. ATK (et al) works and keeps my phone running snappy for days on end until I decide to reboot for whatever reason.

I believe Andoid devs when they say you don't "need" task killers. I really do. The problem is, if I don't use one, my phone lags noticeably after ~8 hours of use (not horribly, but noticeably). Free memory drops below 100, and when that happens, I notice lag. So, not "needing" one is a moot point. I want one. They help keep my UI experience delightful.

Maybe having Sense exaggerates this issue a bit. Maybe without Sense, the phone could manage its resources better. But since I'm still running the stock EVO ROM (unrevoked), that's the boat I'm in.

I think the real question should be: "why not use a simple task killer?"
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maxermaxer:
Dear all, I have been here for quite a while and I know how to root, flash new ROM etc. However I still don't know if it is possible to restore the installed program on a new ROM. I have been searching this forum the topic about this but I still don't find a good solution. What I actually want to do is:

Assuming I am using Defrost 1.0

1) Full wipe and upgrade to a new ROM (For example, Defrost 1.6)

2) Restore the installed programs and data in a batch (automatic mode) I used in Defrost 1.0 to the 1.6 new ROM

So that I can use a new ROM while still keep all the data and programs.

I know "Titanium Backup" can restore programs however I never got it done.I used TB to backup all the things in Defrost 1.0. After upgrading to 1.6 I reinstalled TB, use batch backup, but the list showed all the backed-up programs are in grey color - I simply can not restored them.

Am I missing anything here?

Many thanks for your tips/advice/help!!! :)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dancedreamfly:
Try MyBackup Pro, I've never had any problems restoring.

Also, if you moved all your apps to SD (FroYo A2SD), I don't think Titanium will be able to restore them.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maxermaxer:
Yes I did use APP2SD. So it means Titanium doesn't help at all for APP2SD programs on SD card...... I am trying MyBackup now. Thanks!!!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dancedreamfly:
You have to make sure that all the apps you want to back up are stored on the phone memory. Good luck!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maxermaxer:
So is there anyway to restore apps that installed on SD card through APP2SD+? Do you mean that I have to move all programs to internal memory before backup?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dancedreamfly:
If you're using the old style A2SD+ (with ext partition), your apps will be backed up. If you're using the FroYo A2SD, they won't.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maxermaxer:
Thanks! I used titanium backup donated version and it works for backing up app2sd+ apps!

Im not a pro at OC but looking at spare parts now and the settings by default are the following

min cpu 245000

max cpu 998400

cpu gov ondemand

with that said does that mean our cpu is clocked at close to 1ghz similer to nexus one?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] lviv73:

As for the overcloack im not sure. it looks overclocked from looking at those sparepart cpu settings but my linpack scores are real low... im getting max 2.7
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] android007:
I'm loving this rom but i am also having many force closes. Whenever i download from the internet, it will force close, but it actually does download and the webpage stays the same... (kinda not bad at all). Also, getting force closes with Launcher+ as well, i switched to ADW to fix it.

I'm loving the ROM but i wanted to push stock Music, Gallery, Mail apps but they don't seem to be recognized. So since this remind me of my mytouch, there's a busybox addon i know of to toggle 2g/3g gallery, will this work for this too?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] lviv73:
I think Eugene forgot to change build.prop file "ro.ril.gprsclass = 12" to "ro.ril.gprsclass = 10" for USA users,if you in EU leave it at 12.

For noobs this effects internet speed.His first SlideM is at 10.

Class 12 is the fastest for GPRS... it is a none issue. 10 is slightly slower upload rate. It should remain on 12 unless you want to gimp ur phone.

Um? from the creater himself?

I don't Recall Talking to You at All..

No this is Not over Clock At ALL!!!! And Considering I pulled the Nexus Parts From the Official Release & Used Parts here an there from Rom's I have Downloaded, Not sure how FiberOpticsRLD Made this Rom.. As you can't just through two build together an expect them to run.. There was alot of work that went into this getting everything working 100%

I went as Far as odex the entire Build to hopefuly keep the Copy & Paste Dev out of here now there is a Plain jane released,,, Well, at least until CM 6 is Posted...

[Desire General] s.zamani:
Hi to all,

I got my desire last week and I am still finding out what all is possible and also what is not,..

so to make it short it is not possible to read any sites or mails written in farsi which is written with the arabic alphabet and from right to left.

on my last device the HTC Touch Pro (WM 6.5) I hade to install the font and implement it into the system so I could read and write latin and arbaic.

now reading a few posts and also googling the issue it seems to me that apperntly one has to root the device to install such a support on an android device.

my question is if that assumtion of mine is correct?

I realy don't want to root my device only because I have to read som farsi stuff on it but on the other hand I realy do have to read a lot of mails during the day.

thx

s.
[Desire General] shane20:
Why don't you contact the HTC customer support?
