Hi

Glad I came across this forum - very in depth :)

I've had an HTC Touch 2 for about 5 months now. I wanted a Windows device initially and wanted full Exchange sync capabilities including tasks, etc.

The phone does everything I wanted it to but for two things:

1. Flash doesn't work

2. It's unstable

On the first point Opera doesn't seem to work with Flash anyway but it has both IE and FlashLite installed, and yet the BBC iPlayer still does not work even in IE.

The "movie" loads in so far as the "home screen shot" comes up but no PLAY button, it just whirs round in a circle endlessly.

Can this be solved?

On the second point, I had a Windows device (called the Orange SPV I think) years ago which was ergonomically almost useless. This new Windows device is much more usable but deeply unstable.

Most problems occur when an app crashes when the phone is locked with the effect that the OS seems to go down with it like Windows 95, so you can't actually take the unit out of locked mode - the slider thing doesn't have any effect.

I have to take the battery off the back and cold reset it about 2 or 3 times a week. A bit like the old Orange SPV it has the feel of something so nearly ready to go to market, but for a little more testing.

Does anyone know if this is just Windows and the answer is to go for another OS (if possible, else the only solution is to ditch the handset altogether), or if a subsequent update makes things more stable?

Apparently I have ROM version 1.28.401.4 (66092)

Grateful for any advice.

Thanks,

Mark

I recently started over fresh with my rooted evo.

After installing my roms/apps,etc I noticed my contacts were not synced with facebook.

I tried maunally hitting the sync button still nothing.

I tried to delete my facebook profile, clear the cache and log back in. Still wont sync my contacts from facebook.

Anyone having these same issues?

I cant figure out how to fox this.
[EVO 4G General] nate.spangler:
Apparently it's a server issue and has nothing to do with your rom. I flashed a few roms and back to stock and it still doesn't work. Someone at ppcgeeks called htc to find out the issue and that's what he was told
[EVO 4G General] spencelk:
Diddo! The whole reason I'm searching this forum 2nite is for an answer to this.... please someone provide help... I used simple root to root then did the clockworkmod install....Idk I found a thread that said do simple root then this other 2nd step... as u can tell I'm a noob...I've tried flashing a few roms damage control and some other one nothing gets it sync'd doesn't even show contacts in the live Facebook folder..... tia
[EVO 4G General] nate.spangler:
Nothing you can do for now. Wait for facebook or htc to fix it.
[EVO 4G General] spencelk:
I don't see how this is an issue with fb or HTC since it was working prior to root. And my contact card is populated with my pic.... :( guess I will wait n see...
[EVO 4G General] guitarjockey:
It's an issue because I have an unrooted evo and it was fine yesterday and I was playing around today and unsynced my facebook and now I haven't been able to get it to sync back all day.

So it's not just the roots
[EVO 4G General] JuggZaPoppiN:
Well, I hope its an issue that can be resolved rather quickly on HTC's end.

Dont know how 1 day everything can be working, then the next we get nothing.

Its not like there was a recent update.
[EVO 4G General] nief1313:
man ive been looking for answer to this also.
[EVO 4G General] spencelk:
I would think It's Facebook then not HTC, I use some of their widgets and live feeds for some of my sites for work and there have been days where none update Facebook is great in many ways but has a lot of faults... glad to know its not cuz I rooted thanx for the update.....
[EVO 4G General] webbdh2003:
Not to bring back an old thread, but I don't want to start a new thread if the issue is already posted.

I have the same issue (however on the HTC Aria), my Aria is brand new and from the start it didn't work. I flashed the update from HTC's website, the one released September 14th, 2010. (version 1.25.502.12) And it still doesn't work. I recently rooted my phone and it still won't work. My contacts card is partially filled from facebook, just my birthday synced and the picture can be synced, the rest won't sync. I have a friend with a Aria as well and their's works fine however, except with a couple day delay on new friends appearing.

Has it been determined that the cause is either HTC or Facebook?

Was wondering which recovery everyone likes and why. Been using Ra since my G1 and I love it. :cool: (searched around for one of these and didnt see it. Mods delete if there was already one of these polls)
[EVO 4G General] CharlyDigital:
Amon all the way

Sent from my EVO using the Earths core to power my death ray
[EVO 4G General] sablesurfer:
So...since this brought up...I see that some ROMs don't work with some recoveries? Is that correct? I swear it seems some ROMs only work with clockwork...but then I read all over that clockwork is buggy...or doesn't seem to work for everyone...or something.

I was thinking Amon Ra was the way to go.

I'll follow the answers to this one as well.
[EVO 4G General] dglowe343:
Thats true. As far as I know, there have been issues with Clockwork not wiping correctly(I know someone like that)and causing bootloops after flashing. I dont know of any roms that dont work with Ra, but I believe Rom Manager will only work with Clockwork.
[EVO 4G General] TheBiles:
Clockwork since it is compatible with ROM Manager.
[EVO 4G General] psych2l:
Clockwork since it has a back option in the menus. It's also updated frequently.
[EVO 4G General] herbthehammer:
I've been running clock on the evo. I tried putting amon in but I guess I'm too stupid cause when I tried following the directions, I borked the phone good and it took me awhile to get everything back into working order. I could flash it now with rom manager but I'm kinda afraid after the last fiasco.
[EVO 4G General] kenny21:
I've found that using both have worked for me the best. If I'm running Fresh Rom I will use Amon Ra's but I'll use clockwork for cm6. Its so easy to jump back and forth between recoveries using rom manager its never really an issue. Either way both developers are awesome and their recoveries both have good things to offer
[EVO 4G General] seriousblack25:
anyway to switch back to Amon? not feelin the Clockwork im too use to it...:D
[EVO 4G General] TheBiles:
Use ROM Manager to "flash alternate recovery."
[EVO 4G General] adeyo:
another poll

i was wondering the same thing exactly!! So a few days ago i asked the question on the Cyanogen forums... I got a lot of good responses and summarized the comments on the first post... check it out here: http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/2562-best-recovery-for-evo-to-use-with-cm6/
[EVO 4G General] MrDSL:
I haven't had one single problem with clockwork recovery.
[EVO 4G General] tatnai:
I like the recovery originally included with toastcfl's root found here. it's very similar to Armon's (don't know if things have to be signed or not), but you use the power button to go back instead of the double-press volume (which I find annoying to do).

I just don't like clockwork as much as the other two, that's just the way it is.
[EVO 4G General] oblivion0:
Using Amon Ra because I think it's the only recovery fully compatible with DamageControl.

Not sure of the actual "differences" between it and Clockwork - can anyone clarify?
[EVO 4G General] Drewmungus:
I'm using clockwork with Damage Control I've had zero problems so far.
[EVO 4G General] EtherealRemnant:
I hate Amon recovery... always have to move my ROM downloads to the root of the SD card... forget it 90% of the time and have to reboot to fix it... and that doesn't work so well if I borked my ROM.

I use Clockwork and have zero issues unless I'm trying to autoflash theme updates and such so I have to do those manually. Otherwise no complaints. And no signing issues with Clockwork either.
[EVO 4G General] neckface:
Amon_RA's recovery FTW!
[EVO 4G General] SilverZero:
Well, since rooting 24 hours ago, I've been using Clockwork via recovery boot (not through ROM Manager) and it's worked flawlessly so far. Backed up my rooted stock setup, flashed Fresh, DC, CM6, and then back to Fresh, wiped between every flash, and I've had no problems. Even flashed some Fresh Tweaks in the recovery boot. I actually flashed Amon Ra to see how I liked it . . . and I didn't. Mostly just navigating was a pain with the volume up+down thing, everything else seems like a wash. My only question is whether the Dalvik cache is really being wiped by Clockwork, since it takes half a second to complete when I select the option. I'm going to test it in a few minutes here.

Going to give Baked Snack a run for a while, we'll see how that holds up. :)
[EVO 4G General] herbthehammer:
I have wondered that for awhile, silver. It may sound stupid but at least a confirmation in the log messages below would be nice.
[EVO 4G General] SilverZero:
Okay, I decided to test. Fired up ADB and booted into recovery from Android. Mounted /data and looked inside /data/dalvik-cache. There was a long list of .dex files. Then I unmounted /data and used the Clockwork menu to wipe the Dalvik-cache (this option is located under the "advanced" menu, NOT just the "wipe cache" option). Re-mounted /data and looked inside . . . and the dalvik-cache directory was gone. It took *slightly* longer than normal when I actually hit the button to wipe it (more like .7 seconds instead of .5), but it does appear that my Clockwork v2.5.0.1 is wiping dalvik just fine. And, of course, when I rebooted back into Android (rooted .6 stock at the moment) it took a long time to boot at the 4G screen, as the cache was being rebuilt. Once I was back in, I checked the /data directory again and dalvik-cache was back and full of .dex files again.

So there. No more speculating, just science. :)

And if you're ever worried about it, you can just use ADB to wipe the dalvik-cache yourself:

adb shell
mount /data
rm -rf /data/dalvik-cache/*

Then you can use the Clockwork menu to wipe everything else and flash your ROM. These three commands actually just delete everything inside the dalvik-cache directory, whereas Clockwork appears to remove the directory entirely. Doesn't really matter either way, the system will replace the directory if it gets deleted.

Mmm . . . terminal code.
[EVO 4G General] ludagad:
RA Recovery

I guess RA Recovery is better :)

I was using Clockwork recovery just fine .... until I bought a 16 Gig class 10 card. Clockwork will just hang or die trying to do anything with it - even trying to partition it will cause to hang. Finally I had to move all my data using linux live cd. The actual ROM I'm using sees the SDCRD and SD-EXT perfectly! After moving the data to the new card it was just like I had done a restore :) it is the st***d CWM Recovery that has buggy SD access.
[EVO 4G General] Zmaina5:
Although i picked clockwork, Amon-Ra can flash more roms than clockwork. However clockwork is more convenient
[EVO 4G General] Black-Dash:
When I was trying to flash an 'alternate recovery' via Rom Manager, which is Armon recovery, Rom Manager would no longer work that way. It kept telling me that I needed to go back to ClockWork Mod. I want to now use Armon's recovery because my phone was stuck at the white htc Evo 4G screen after a backup using ClockWord Mod, fortunately I found out how to mount my sd card via recovery and insert a zip on my sd card.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] philipjacobs:
My HTC touch Pro has been working well for me awhile now. But Just a few days ago I went to take a picture and then uploaded to Facebook. Well, the picture looked all messed up, like there was 3 in one. If that wasn't any different, the thumbnails look like something completely different. NOW when I take any photo, it takes like 5 minutes to come back to the camera screen. Then it saves the picture from the OLD jacked up picture with the same wrong thumbnail.

I'm sure this doesnt make any sense, but it's got me confused too.

Any thoughts?

Using this: NFSFAN's Custom WM6.5 ROM

Nothing else installed.

See the attached rar. that's what all the pictures look like.

[EVO 4G Android Development] TheMike1:
Just flashed, novatek 003 -- getting fps2d 51 with StDev of 9 after several runs, which is actually a slight downgrade. My Long Bench in SetCPU is in the 600's vs the 300's as before.

LinPack is very strange. I get my usual 39-43 but every once in a while it seems to lag and I get 2MFLOPS - 6MFLOPS, not 20, literally 2.

I have a feeling something must not be right, is there anyway to debug what is going on?
[EVO 4G Android Development] TheMike1:
:D

Didn't change anything, just sat around and did a bunch of LinPacks, then noticed they were pretty consistent so went into SetCPU and started doing a bunch of Long Bench, and actually started to get into the low 400s consistently, high 300s. Back to fps2d and now I am getting 54 avg with a 5.5StdDev consistently.

Strange, I cannot figure out what changed, any idea?

Attempted to flash this kernel on top of baked pastries beta 2 with the 2.2 update and just got a boot loop. The nexus boot logo animated fast then slower then screen for a blank and starts all over again.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jmxp69:
This is based on CM6 rmriggin. Kernel update.zips contain ramdisks with rom specific information. So you can't do it that way. I could make the zImage, and modules available to you if you want to flash it with fastboot and manually copy the modules over. That would likely work.

J
[EVO 4G Android Development] jmxp69:
If you want to experiment, this kernel may work on a non-CM6 or maybe even a 2.1 ROM with the following steps. I have no idea. Proceed at your own risk.

**Warning** Don't try this without a backup! You'll need to nandroid restore to undo this.

1) Download this and unzip on your PC (do not try to flash it).

adb shell reboot bootloader

fastboot boot zImage <-----this will let you test to see if it works. If it does, proceed with the following to survive reboot. If it doesn't work, just reboot your phone and you'll be back to normal. No other action required.

2) Move to a different directory from where you unzipped donotflash.zip and do the following:

adb pull /system/lib/modules/bcm4329.ko

adb pull /system/lib/modules/sequans_sdio.ko

Save these somewhere safe.

3) From the location you unzipped donotflash.zip:

adb remount

adb push bcm4329.ko /system/lib/modules/

adb push sequans_sdio.ko /system/lib/modules/

adb shell reboot bootloader

fastboot flash zimage zImage ** pay attention to the caps!

fastboot reboot

If you try this, I'd be interested in hearing about your results.

Hi there,

So I rooted my phone about a month ago and installed an older version of cyanogen mod because I wanted 1.6 for the navigation. So I installed cm4.2.15.1. It worked fine for quite a while, then I had a few issues so I wiped and reset up the phone.

Now I am having a few issues...

-the phone's home button won't work (although I can boot into recovery mode with it so its still functional)

-calls are being sent straight to voicemail after ringing once and I do get a VM notification right after ( I checked my settings and I dont have call forwarding on)

-when I hit the red power button it should sleep. however it sleeps and wakes at the push of any button as opposed to the normal requirement of pushing menu to unlock

-when i hold down power red button there is not an option for airplane mode or I believe there was another option there too. It only shows reboot or power down

I think those are the main issues right now. I have a 16gb SD (class 2, I know its slow but i havent had any issues) with apps2sd running automatically b/c i have it partitioned. I did a backup and restore using nandroid but that didnt help.

Basically I hear I should reflash it but I am not sure I want to do that. Will I lose all my apps and stuff? I was thinking maybe they would be saved b/c of apps2sd but I dont know for sure. Also to reflash do I just do wipe at the recovery screen and then like reinstall CM again after putting the zip file on the SD card?

Also what is the latest version of CM with navigation? Where can I find that file? Is there another mod that you guys would recommend? NOthing too flashy but I do like lots of customization, navigation. BUt my highest priority is navi and just being quick and reliable.

Sorry for being a n00b. I tried searching but did not find a concrete answer..

Thanks!
