[EVO 4G Android Development] Drew5150:
hey guys, first off I just installed this rom yesterday(my first one) and for the most part it is great! but I have a few problems and I'm not sure what is the real issue.

basically I get a lot more force closures now. at first this didn't bother as I figured custom roms would be buggy as compared to stock. but there is one app that gets force closed every single time and does not work. I have questions where this app came from as I don't recognize it and I can not seem to uninstall it.

this app is called clock, but it is not the HTC clock. I wouldn't actually care but I like to use beautiful widgets and when I try to link the "tap on time" to the HTC clock it always reverts to this new clock. I use the timer in the htc clock everyday at work so I would really like to get this set back up. I know I could make a new link and will if I have to, but I would like to see if I can get this worked out first.

here are some pics of the app open, app drawer and in application list. I circled the app in question. it will force close when ever the 2 middle buttons are pressed in the open app pic.

some more info: I used mybackup to create a backup before I rooted and installed this rom. I also upgraded to launcherpro plus last night.

so was this clock app part of the fresh rom? if so can I get rid of it? if I can't get rid of it should I do a full wipe and then manually download all of my apps?

is it possible this clock app came as part of some other clock widget I downloaded before root and rom flash?

would using titanium backup now be a good or bad idea?

are more force closures normal after installing a custom rom or is this more related to installing a bunch of apps from a back up all at once?

thanks for any help or info anyone can give

other then this I am liking the rom :)

no, it's not. I've tried on two separate wifi networks.

thats the stock vanilla clock so i take it your running the vanilla lock screen..thats there that came from as far as fc it is coming from you restoring data ...DONT...restore your apps but not the data
[EVO 4G Android Development] Drew5150:
huh, actually i am not running the vanilla lock screen. tho i was just coming on here to check this and then read how to use the fresh updater to install the vanilla lock screen. maybe this vanilla clock app needs the lock screen as well for it to run better. what the hell i'll give it a shot.

i downloaded a decent timer for replacement, but i still like the way the stock one works and looks best.

so you are saying backing up and restoring data tends to cause more FC's?

apps are ok to back up and restore?
[EVO 4G Android Development] 702DROID:
the data from apps cause more fc because of the changes in dif roms the two icons in that vanilla clock are gallery and music and since its vanilla clock its trying to take you to vanilla gallery and vanilla music
[EVO 4G Android Development] Team Scream:
Now that ^^ should be edited into the first post in the thread.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Drew5150:
cool, i'll wipe and reflash the rom this weekend when i have more time. i see in the fresh updater option to download vanilla lock and vanilla clock, or the lock and a world clock. i may try downloading these and using the delete function to see if i can loose the clock. either way i'll be happier if i get things installed with less fc's

thanks man
[EVO 4G Android Development] Drew5150:
agreed, i'll try those exact instructions this weekend. too bad no 4g here to even test. well i may skip the data restore part.
[EVO 4G Android Development] :
this may seem like a tiny/odd question, but is there any way to kill off the "fressshhhhhhhh" sound when it boots? i don't mind the boot screen, but i frequently tinker with my phone in places where the sound is a huge distraction and shutting off audio half a dozen times a day is a bit of a pain.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Drew5150:
^^ there should be. i think you just need to pull the mp3, i'm not sure how. i did it before by screwing up when trying to change a boot mp3 and it went silent. i prefer it silent as well.

i would like to know if there is away to remove the vanilla clock through adb or something. i downloaded the vanilla lock, vanilla apps and now it has removed my stock clock. i plan on re-installing this weekend but it seems this rom comes with vanilla clock installed as a system app. i would love to remove this.

edit: after installing vanilla lock and apps, then removing vanilla lock (through fresh updater) and re-enabling the htc lock vanilla clock is now gone and my stock clock is there and will work through beautiful widgets.
[EVO 4G Android Development] whoamanwtf:
All you have to do is root explorer system/media and delete the mp3 in there or rename it if you want it backed up.
[EVO 4G Android Development] LP_sk8er:
Can anyone tell me how long the 4G stays in "scanning" normally, before you would say you're stuck in the scanning loop? I'm not sure if I have 4G, so does anyone know if it just stays scanning if you dont have 4G around?

Much appreciated, thanks!
[EVO 4G Android Development] shad0w77:
well, it's not "official" in my area but when i do get to a 4g known zone... it connects within 10 seconds or so...
[EVO 4G Android Development] RichTJ99:
That is great information! Thanks so much!
[EVO 4G Android Development] scriptx:
Drew, what modifications have you done apart from FreshRom? I see you're using Launcher Pro. Have you installed any non-fresh kernels or JIT files?
[EVO 4G Android Development] drbgotenks:
If this has already been posted, then ignore.

I had a been looking for a good app that would display the battery percent. Kubino99 has created a mod that seems to work perfectly with fresh 1.0.1 (I flashed it and all seems well) that puts the percent of battery inside the indicator (top right of phone).

Here is the link to the thread about it. Make sure you flash the one for fresh.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=729488

(Flipz, is there a way to incorporate this into future releases. I like to know the actual percent of my battery, not just how many 'bars' are left)
[EVO 4G Android Development] shad0w77:
yeah, i am using this too.... works great... can finally lose that battery widget
[EVO 4G Android Development] kathrynhr:
I second this. If we could replace the stock icon with the percentage, I'd be very happy.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Drew5150:
No kernels, just the detox blues theme and comfortta fonts. But this was after I was already having issues. Most of my issues were tied to the vanilla clock and beautiful widgets. I use the timers and alarms quite often at my work. I was able to get rid of vanilla clock and I reinstalled beautiful widgets. No more force closes yet when trying to use the timers.

I'll see how it goes today at work.
[EVO 4G Android Development] fazzmanic:
I'm using the battery percent thing too, seems to work fine on fresh 1.0.1.
[EVO 4G Android Development] rock99rock:
Thank you for this. Searching for my issue in this thread only showed 2 other people with my exact issue. Flipz points to his buglist in the OP, but does not mention the problem in the post. Sooooooo I do "read read read"... No need to jump to conclusions. So far I have come across a few of the documented issues.

1. Maps failure

2. Wifi Tether Failure

3. LauncherPro Failure

Only a full wipe fixed the map issue for me, not the manual method. Price of being a beta tester I suppose!
[EVO 4G Android Development] furrelkt:
I agree. Awesome. :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] jmanley69:
I hate to have to bump this... but I'm afraid it got lost a few pages back with no response. Can anybody else confirm this issue? Any suggestions on what might be causing it or possibly a solution?
[EVO 4G Android Development] jmanley69:
connect your phone... drop to command line

adb remount

adb shell mv /system/media/android_audio.mp3 /system/media/android_audio.bak

adb shell reboot

This will keep the sound there (as android_audio.bak) in case you ever want it back.

I'm sure it is in this thread but I can't find it. Is anyone having success with netarchy kernels? I just get a rapid boot loop.
[EVO 4G Android Development] lancer123:
Can't get Radio to update from version 1.36.00.04.02

Hello,

I have a rooted evo and have the Fresh ROM installed. I ran through twice the Radio update procedures. I flash the Radio ROM to the SD card then boot the phone into recovery mode. The first thing I notice is on the bottom right hand corner of the screen. It indicates Build: not set

I then choose 'flash zip from sd card'

I choose the radio zip

The install appears to occur and ask for a reboot

I reboot the phone

I comes up to a screen indicating "formatting Cache" I again notice on the bottom right hand corner 'Build: not set'

I reboot the system again

The phone comes back up. I check the baseband version and it still shows 1.36.00.04.02 instead of the new version i am trying to upgrade to. Can anybody tell me what I am doing wrong?
[EVO 4G Android Development] jmanley69:
If your "build not set" is coming from the recovery, then you'll need to flash the latest Amon-Ra recovery. check the forum for the correct thread for help on that.

You also need to make sure that you've done both parts to the root procedure. Part 1, and Part 2 (NAND unlock)
[EVO 4G Android Development] shad0w77:
seems that is a common issue w/ the new handcet upgrade. i saw it in another thread as well. unfortuantely, i don't use it, so can't really comment too much.

i have a hardware version of 002, novatek screen, fresh 1.0.1 and the newest netarchy kernal (the general population version) and getting 54 fps w/ now screen tearing and minimal stdev...
[EVO 4G Android Development] jmanley69:
Awesome! thanks for the info. I guess I'll find that thread and start ranting over there ;)

Thanks again for letting me know.

[EVO 4G Android Development] zeeyo987:
any ideas?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Drew5150:
no more force closures after losing vanilla clock and reinstalling beautiful widgets :) made a small donation;)

I may try a kernel next. when installing a kernel do I need to wipe everything first flash a kernel and then the rom. or the other way around? is it safe to flash a kernel in the state I am in now with apps installed?

also a quick question on back ups. installed apps don't show in the market, will these apps notify me of update or do i need to manually check?

Flipz removed the application in an early version of Fresh for the Evo.

Email not marking as read......

I have upgraded to damage rom. (I don't think this is a rom issue but think you know more then sprint would!) When I read a email on my EVO, it does not show up as read on gmail.com/computer email. The next time I get a email it shows up that I have the new email and the old marked as new but just the actual new email is bold. It keeps adding email as unread until I mark read online or go into my email app on my computer. Any ideas?? Thanks!

market app

So far great rom, only issue im having is every time i try to download something from the market "The application Market (process com.android.vending) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again" I cant seem to figure out whats going on. Any ideas? i couldnt find anything searching through the thread.
[EVO 4G Android Development] JackDaniels7:
anyone notice any instability with the fresh kernals i seem to get alot of programs that fail and have to be force closed?
[EVO 4G Android Development] koricua74:
Try Settings>Applications>Manage Applications>Market>Clear Cache then Force Stop. I was having similar issues; my apps wouldn't install after they "finish" downloading from the market.
[EVO 4G Android Development] zeeyo987:
hey guys i wanted to know if there was a way to make sure 4g would work when im in a 4g area cuz right now i could have reception but maybe its just my rom or whatever thats not set up right and since theres no official coverage where i coulc have reception i wasnt sure what i could do, thanks!

[EVO 4G Android Development] zeeyo987:
haha yea i guess thats the only way i can make sure it works, btw anyone having trouble with the alarm going off and then after the screen times out the dismiss or snooze box dosent come up, and the alarm keeps going so i just end up going ot the alarm and setting it for one more minute ahead and keep the phone on and hit dismiss right away to make the noise go away, any solutions i wanna use the stock alarm
[EVO 4G Android Development] ejittles:
I hate to be rude Zeeyo but you fail at reading the installation notes and FAQ. Sounds like you have the vanilla lock screen up and are using the HTC clock.

Also who ever said something about wireless tether FC'ing needs uninstall and reinstall. It's also in the release notes.
[EVO 4G Android Development] fazzmanic:
I can't get ES File Explorer to work, it FC's every time its launched.

Anyone else experiencing this?
[EVO 4G Android Development] shad0w77:
Did you turn on the root explorer option? If so, that's the problem. Uninstall, reinstall, and if you turn on the root explorer option, make sure to turn it off before exiting....
[EVO 4G Android Development] Vivix729:
This is nothing major or anything, I'm just curious...

My camera is not making the shutter sound, nor the zooming noise when doing touch-to-focus.

I was going to turn the shutter off anyway, but I just realized it's not going off, even though the option is enabled. Is that supposed to be happening with this rom?

Question, I noticed that my RAM is always low like at 50% . What can I do to fix this. I have fresh 1.0.1 and 3.6.4 kernel ...
[EVO 4G Android Development] juggaman:
Running 1.0.1 with the Fresh Toast w/no BFS kernel and it seems like my multitouch isn't working. I can't zoom on pictures or internet w/o double tapping. Pinching does nothing. Any ideas?

If I have my phone plugged in to my computer for power....(charge only) and if i try to switch to Hard drive mode. The phone switches without error, but my Windows 7 nor Xp computer sees the mounted SD card.

I have to reboot my phone each time I wish to mount the sd card to windows...

Is anyone else having the issue?
[EVO 4G Android Development] ejittles:
There is nothing to "fix." Linux (and even Windows as of Win7) tries to use memory intelligently. It takes the same amount of power to keep your memory at 100% empty versus 50% empty. So why leave that memory wasted when we can pre-load commonly used files? Its basically caching apps or other files so that your software loads faster. If it needs that memory later, it will free it up automatically.

Also, don't use ATK or another task killer to automatically kill tasks in the attempt to save battery/memory. Use autostarts to keep undesired applications from starting when the phone powers on and let the OS decide what apps need to be running from there.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ejittles:
Are you using the "Safely remove hardware" option to unmount the drives before you switch out of disk drive mode or otherwise unplug the phone? This may be your problem. I had this happen to me once. Windows is likely keeping around some handle to the SD card that isn't being closed out properly, thereby preventing the remount

Sorry for the double posting.
[EVO 4G Android Development] shad0w77:
Are you using swype? That broke it for me. Try the no bfs kernel with swype...
[EVO 4G Android Development] scriptx:
Agreed. Let Android handle the memory. If you want to be more involved with how it's handling paging, then install AutoKiller or MinFreeManager. You can tweak the memory settings within Android. The rest is all placebo, unless there's a CPU hog, or process keeping your phone awake all the time.. in which case the best solution would be to just uninstall the POS app rather than kill it from the background.
[EVO 4G Android Development] eck0728:
Hey was wondering if full flash support will be added in the next release as many other roms running 2.1 are getting flash support. Love

To those with 4G problems: I tried deleting the <mac>.tree.xml file in /data/misc/wimax and still had 4G connection problems. I never successfully connected w/ the latest radio.

Applied the suggestions over at this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=726877

As suggested by others, deleted my <mac>.tree.xml file again and am now back in business on 4G.

You'll need your MSL to make the changes to your wimax settings.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jmanley69:
Seriously? Do we really need to go over this AGAIN!?!?!?! I mean... this fix has been covered in the first 50 pages of this thread.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jmanley69:
Without knowing all the steps that lead up to your problem... I can only speak from experience.

I'm able to replicate this situation if I do the following

Connect the phone to the computer

Mount USB

Use Windows 7 to "eject" the USB drive

Unmount USB

Mount USB - Windows 7 does not see the drive

Without rebooting your phone... or your computer... try unplugging the USB cable and then plugging it back in. That should let you mount the SD card as a USB drive again - quickly.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jmanley69:
I had this problem with either my Hero or with my Evo the first time... I can't think of the exact thread that explains the fix but I'll try to walk you through it.

First... remove the Facebook account from your phone. It's ok... you'll add it again.

You need to log onto facebook from your computer Click on Accounts (in the upper left hand corner) then Application Settings.

Now... in the drop down next to "Show" (currently it probably says Recently Used) you want to select Authorized.

Look for Facebook for Android and click the X (to delete).

Go back to Recently Used (or just do this step before you select Authorized) in the drop down next to Show and look for HTC Sense - delete that one too.

Go through all the options on the drop-down just to be sure and delete anything that says Android or Sense or HTC.

Now.... add the FB account back into your phone. Your contacts should now sync just fine.
[EVO 4G Android Development] twerk:
Awesome it worked!
[EVO 4G Android Development] th3gh05t:

I'm having the same problem on a new install of Fresh 1.0.1. The above steps don't seem to resolve it. Is there anything else to try? Thanks.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ejittles:
Actually, if you had read the first 50 pages, as I have, you'll see that all they said was to delete your tree.xml, which I did several times. Someone did mention that page in the last 10 pages or so and said it worked, and I was confirming that it did indeed work. But thanks for being cranky anyway.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Sailrace:
So the only issues i'm having, after deleting my facebook account, is that when i try to add it back, i keep getting "Unable to connect to this service".

Can't seem to reconnect to facebook for sense.

Any ideas?
[EVO 4G Android Development] UrbanMuppet:
Great rom, thanks for the development.

Two issues, wondering if anyone else is having them. Default ringtone isn't sticking. I created a ringtone in ringdroid and set it as default with no luck. Also, when I plug my phone into a USB and have it for "charge only" it defaults into disk drive mode.

Both are minor, but quite annoying.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jmanley69:
It shouldn't matter if it's a new installation of Fresh 1.0.1. or if it's been running for a while. The steps I outlined would fix the problem if it's similar to mine (the facebook apps got all goofed up on the Facebook Server). The problem I had came from the fact that the authorization keys on the FB server and the ones on my phone didn't match. By removing all authorizations on the FB server and forcing them to be recreated it fixed my problem.

Just for S&G's, go ahead and check all your apps (on Facebook - while logged in through your computer) for anything that might be related to Android or HTC or Sense and see if anything is still there. Also, after you recreate the account on your phone, you should see them pop back up on FB.

One other thing to try... after you've removed the account from your phone, then cleared out all the applications on FB, and BEFORE you recreate the account on your phone... go ahead and give your phone a reboot for luck.
[EVO 4G Android Development] CrowsSong:
